Whispering Verse

Although the history of the Sixth Age records that Fiona Drago is the second principal of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, this means that Miss Feliana and Miss Olanold will most likely rescue her. . But it is also possible that the school was established in memory of Fiona's sacrifice and that other witches inherited her name.

What's more, Shade promised Fiona that he would take her out. After experiencing so many adventures and walking such a long road with Fiona, now that we have made a promise, we must keep it:

"Hold on to me!"

He was ready to fight head-on with the [God of Night] who came in an unknown form in the last thirty seconds, and then left here with Fiona. He does not need to win, as long as he leaves [Eternal Night City], it is victory. He did not believe that the power of the God of Night could spread outside Eternal Night City without the divine descent ceremony.

Shade is not worried about being unable to defeat the gods in front of him in the divine state. His divine form is close to the "God of the Moon". He has no worries about being restrained when facing the "God of Night". He may even be immune to some of the opponent's attacks. attack.

However, after "she" chuckled in his ear, Xia De did not hear the sentence "You are me":

【time to go. 】

"What? No, the time hasn't come yet, I haven't yet"

In an instant, thick white mist surged in from the surroundings, completely surrounding Shade in the blink of an eye.

When he came to his senses, he was already in the [Time Corridor] covered in white mist. In front of you is a transparent giant tree that seems to support the world. The trunk of the giant tree is engraved with years, and every leaf records the story of time.

One of the leaves was swirling and falling downwards. In the past, when Shade saw this giant tree that represented the shadow of the ancient god [Father of the Infinite Tree], he would always feel melancholy or sad. But at this moment, he felt that all over his body It's cold, as if the heart is about to stop beating:

"What's going on? Don't I have at least twenty seconds?"

The leaves representing the [Night] spirit rune slowly fell. Shade did not reach out. The cat on his chest that was awakened by Shade's "yelling" just now squeezed out his little head and raised his head to look at the star. Illusory giant tree.

The shadow of time reflected in the cat's amber eyes. The cat meowed suspiciously and stretched out its front paws to catch the leaf that was about to fall.

[Reminder from the Father of the Infinite Tree:]

[You cannot directly use divine power in the past. The ripples in the long river of time can be ignored, but the earth walls across the river will have a huge impact on the world. 】

"So, I was ended this adventure early because I wanted to use my divinity? But what about Fiona? Did I leave her alone in Evernight City?"

Shade asked incredulously, catching the leaf before Mia. Hearing the cry of meow~, he realized that the cat had traveled through time with him without turning into a toy.

[It was not a creature of that era, so it was kicked out. 】

"She" explained softly, Shade, who was just thinking about Fiona's safety, had no time to think about the situation of the cat who was now safe.

"But what about Fiona? I can't leave her there!"

He looked blankly at the leaf in his hand:

"Even if I find a time point in the future after the autumn of 3028 in the Fifth Epoch, but Fiona has been alone in Eternal Night City for so many years, can I still rescue her?"

【so? 】

"She" smiled softly, as if she didn't understand Shade's almost desperate mood at the moment. After experiencing so many things, even when he faced the evil god for the first time, Shade did not feel such despair and annoyance.

[Maybe there is a way. 】

"any solution?"

Shade suddenly raised his head and realized it when he saw the giant tree that was about to disappear. He stretched out his hands, held the leaf, and prayed to the tree father:

"You are the ancient god of time, you are the beginning and end of time! Father of the Infinite Tree, protector of nature and elves, please help me, even if only this time, please let me return to the autumn of 3028 in the Fifth Epoch. Eternal Night City! Even if it’s the last chance, even if it’s only a few seconds, please let me go back there.”

A foreigner never prays that any miracle will happen to him, he always believes in his own plan. But at this moment, he extremely hoped that a miracle would bless him.

And the [Father of the Infinite Tree], who has never disappointed anyone, did not disappoint Shade this time either.

The warm spring breeze blows, stroking the leaves on the transparent branches that record the story of time.

"Her" laughter is still so gentle. "She" is not unable to understand Shade's mood. "She" is just comforting the outsiders in her own way:

[Message from the father of the Infinite Tree:]

[With this reward, the opening time of the next time key will be postponed by one month, and you can re-enter the autumn of 3028 in the fifth era. The time interval before departure is 1 second, and the current stay time is 3 minutes. 】

Even though that leaf represented the "dark night" that was extremely important to Shade, Shade still agreed without hesitation:

"no problem!"

He believed that relying on his understanding of the night, this spiritual rune would appear on his life ring sooner or later.

Raising his hands high to lift the leaf upward, Shade watched it fly back to the swaying crown of the tree:

"Can I wait a while before entering instead of entering right away?"

The tree crowns rustled, and the white mist gradually dispersed. Shade felt like he was being hugged by someone. After seeing what was in front of him clearly, he realized that he had stumbled back to Wilde at midnight on Saturday, the late winter of 1854, the eighth day of the Wind Rises. Corridor of the Opera House.

The time key of 3028, which had shattered due to the last use, was like going back in time. It reshaped itself into the keyhole and flew into Shade's hands. However, the cracks on the surface of the key are clearer than ever before, and there is a flickering pure white light in each crack.

This is the color of the white mist that Shade is familiar with. This key is different from any previous key.

[Outlander, you need to open the "Breaking Key" within two hours. 】

"She" reminded softly.

"no problem."

[You still cannot use the power of divinity in the past, so you have to]

"Shadow, what's going on?"

Luvia, who was waiting for Shade, immediately noticed that his expression was wrong because the gap was only three seconds. The purple-eyed girl, who thought something had happened to Shade, immediately stepped forward to check his body:

"What happened to you? Oh, why are your hands so cold?"

"Something happened. I was scared because my hands were so cold. Fortunately, there is still a chance to recover. I need to see Miss Danister."

He spoke quickly, then noticed that he was breathing heavily. He reached out to cover his chest, and the force of his heart hitting his chest surprised him.

Even though he knew that it would only take one second to open the special key in his hand again, he still felt a sense of urgency:

"In addition, all plans and arrangements have to change. Since this happened, I think there may be different situations. Send a message to Iluna and ask her to go to the secret passage under the Black Night Temple as soon as possible. Me. Yes, I suddenly understood something. The time key is indeed related to all my experiences."

Luvia didn’t quite understand, but nodded anyway:

"I have Iluna's contact information. And Miss Denist, right? No problem. I'm worried that you will bump into her when you set out to go outside the city later, and she has been inquiring about the location of the professors at St. Byrons. "

Luvia said, she has always been so reliable:

"Are you going to see the professor? Tonight? Now?"

Luvia asked, Shade clenched his hands:

"Yes, go immediately. Solve this matter as soon as possible, and I will join the final battle earlier. I want to find a way."

"What way?"

Luvia asked, and Shade looked towards the direction outside the city with deep eyes, as if he could see the scenery of Yongye City again at a glance:

"The ancient road that allows you to enter and leave St. Byrons at night."

Although it took Shad 40 minutes to enter the Evernight City, the doctor's potion had fully exerted its effect, eliminating the corrosive effect of the demonic realm on Shad's body. But in fact, for the year 1854 of the Sixth Epoch, which was experiencing another extraordinary night, only three seconds passed.

Therefore, the big earthquake happened just a few minutes ago, which means that the first Randall flower that has bloomed may not have been found yet, and it will still be at least an hour and a half before the crazy guardian appears.

Shade must at least resolve Fiona's matter within this time. And he had a hunch that although Fiona's incident happened in the Fifth Era, it would definitely have an important impact on tonight's current world, the Sixth Era.

While Shade was waiting for news at the Wilde Opera House, Iluna, who was following the team to deal with the earth elemental djinn that appeared in the city, was already buried deep in the darkness.

When the big earthquake happened just now, she was dealing with the enemy in the basement of No. 3 St. George Street, not far from the Wilde Opera House. Because she is a sixth-level warlock, and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere tonight, the team led by Iluna only has two fifth-level companions.

She was in the deepest part of the basement when the earthquake occurred, so while her companions might have escaped, she was unable to leave in time.

"Fortunately, the enemy has been dealt with."

The collapsed earth and masonry pressed down firmly, but Iluna pushed out a safe area. She was lying on the ground, complaining about tonight's bad luck in her heart:

"These are new clothes given to me by the church. I originally wanted to take them back to Tobesk."
