Whispering Verse

The curtain had already opened in front of her. Fiona believed in Shade and rushed towards the curtain. But even if the curtain is right in front of the two people, after the frozen time has been restored by the gods, and instantaneous movement is not possible here, it will take time for the two people and the cat to fully enter it.

And the god who was sitting behind the curtain in the palace in the distance finally took action against them in a practical sense after seeing the curtain open. Before that, God was not serious about fighting the two of them because he was worried about the tree father and did not want to hurt Fiona.

The night turned into a giant hand, which appeared behind the two of them in just an instant. Even though they were almost in contact with the black curtain floating in the air, the giant hand of the night could still grab the two of them.

But at this moment, most of the dishonest cat's body had emerged from Shade's arms.

Its two hind paws were still inside Shade's coat, pushing on the clothes to stabilize its balance. Its two front paws were clinging to Shade's shoulders, allowing the little cat to look behind him over Shade's shoulders.

Neither Shade nor Fiona could look back at this time, so only Mia's big amber eyes saw the giant black hand. The cat's good night vision ability even allowed it to see through the giant hand, through the hole in the palace terrace door in the far distance, and saw the god sitting high up in the palace behind the curtain.

The god and the cat looked at each other. The curtain in front of the former was suddenly lit by golden flames, while the weak and pitiful cat showed a horrified expression. It was frightened.

So out of fright, the cat, whose whole body was still glowing, yelled in the usual way of frightening the enemy:

"Meow!"

The cat's meow echoed in the sky of Eternal Night City. The sudden burst of golden light, like the sun, directly dispersed most of the night sky behind Shade and Fiona. Even the night sky was illuminated, revealing The real starry sky and moon.

Although Shade and Fiona could notice the strong light behind them, they had no time to turn around to see what was going on.

"sun."

I don’t know who was whispering in this long night, and the long night frozen in the rain has been completely broken by this shrill cat meow.

The night did not pursue the two of them again, and even the part of Eternal Night City illuminated by the cat in the sky was not covered by the thick night again.

This moment of pause has allowed Fiona, Shade and Mia to completely pass through the curtain in the night sky. Probably because this curtain was not used normally, it was fixed in the sky of Yongye City, and then slowly integrated with the night.

"oh!"

Shade and Fiona hugged each other and rolled several times in the white-ash corridor before struggling to sit up.

Most of their clothes were dyed white, and even the orange and white cat looked ridiculously mostly white. Of course, Mia shook her body violently and shook off the white ash, successfully preventing Shade from having the terrible idea of ​​"washing the cat".

After leaving Yongye City, Shade's mysterious lock officially ended. Fiona returned to the normal twelfth-level state, because she was not actually casting the spell at all, so even though she used the power of leapfrogging, she had no sequelae at all.

The red dragon girl sat on the ground in fear, hugging Shade, and looked at the curtain hanging on the old masonry wall behind the two of them. The night invaded the corridor like splashing ink as the two entered, but it only left mottled traces in the corridor. The power of the gods did not pass through the curtain and extend to the area outside Eternal Night City.

"It's safe."

After confirming that it was safe, she finally realized that her whole body was losing strength. This was not because of injury, but because of fear. The memories of the life and death just now seemed to be still before her eyes, and the warm embrace hugging her and the cat's paws constantly trying to push her out of Shade's arms told her that they had really escaped from a god.

"Yes, it's safe."

Shade was in the weak stage after using the Mystic Lock, but he could barely stand up:

"Quickly, go quickly. I only have 3 minutes this time. There is more than one minute left. I want to watch you leave here, hurry up."

He stroked the no longer glowing cat, but did not blame the cat for changing back from a toy without permission. He could feel that if the light from the cat hadn't given them the warmth of the sun, it would have been difficult for them to have the strength to pass through the curtain in the end.

Of course, Shade didn't realize what the cat was actually threatening with its meow.

But when he and Fiona helped each other to stand up, Shade suddenly thought that this was the first time in so long that he had left the mission place prescribed by the tree father. This is something quite new to him, and he can definitely try more in the future.

"My mystery is locked, and the direction I want to leave should be 'home', but I don't have a home in this era, so the exit might be dangerous."

"I'm supporting you. Shade, I can also handle danger. You've done enough for me."

Fiona felt like she wanted to cry. The red dragon girl carefully supported Shade and felt that Shade was in such a bad state:

"You have exhausted your spirit too much. You must not fight fiercely again in a short period of time."

As he spoke, he helped Sha De move forward. Compared with the night in Yongye City, the night that seeped into the corridors was nothing to mention. She could even pass through it directly.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has stayed in Eternal Night City for too long and his own night resistance has increased too much.

Mia also saw that Shade was in a bad state, so she obediently retracted from Shade's chest. Fiona tried not to cry and asked again:

"You said you could only come to Yongye City four times, and the fifth time you came to save me, what price did you pay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I promised to save you."

Shade shook his head and then took the initiative to change the topic:

"Do you know this corridor?"

"Yes, Miss Feliana has become a formal member of the parliament. Teacher Olanode and I followed her through this road. At the end, is it the door leading to the parliament?"

"No. Miss Feliana, have you ever said what this corridor represents? Is it part of the Witch Council?"

"no."

Fiona shook her head hastily. She could see that Shade cared about this answer:

"Teacher Feliana said that the Parliament has nothing to do with this corridor. It's just that someone hid the only door leading to the Parliament here. Therefore, the witches need to enter the corridor first before they can reach the door."

"What is the tunnel? Some unknown place? Subspace? Or is it something more bizarre?"

"I don't know. Teacher Feliana and Teacher Olanode don't know yet. But they said that this corridor is quite old, very old, older than any ruins and tombs they have seen."

The road was not long, and they did not need to look around, so even though she was supporting Shade, Fiona quickly took him to the exit. Shade knew that outside the exit was Lan from the fifth era. Del Valley, but he didn't know what was going on in that piece of Tahiti at this time.

He doesn't have much time left, and if there's another battle to face, he won't be able to handle it. Fiona obviously knew what Shade was thinking. She did not take Shade directly through the exit. Instead, she took out a newly knitted glove from the few luggage left in her small bag.

It was the glove on her right hand, something Shade had seen sitting in the tent knitting when she returned to the "Twilight Place".

Fiona put the glove into Shade's pocket:

"There are my hair and some scales inside, which are more protective than ordinary dragon leather gloves. Just send me here. You don't have to accompany me anymore. You have done enough for me."

"But."

"Can we meet again?"

The crimson eyes looked at Shade closely, and the temperature of his soul was simply hotter than dragon flames.

"Yes, I will definitely do it. This is also my promise."

Shade said with certainty, so Fiona didn't care about the mess on both of them at this time, stretched out her arms and hugged his neck and kissed him. She wanted to use this as a farewell to the two of them, and remember this moment forever, waiting for their reunion again in an unknown amount of time.

However, Shade was still worried about other dangers outside the passage, and insisted on making sure Fiona was safe before leaving.

Therefore, while the two of them were kissing, he used his body that had barely recovered some strength to lead Fiona out into the night at the end of the corridor.

Although there were torches lighting up the corridor, when he returned to the normal space of the fifth era, the dazzling sunlight still forced Shade to close his eyes to adapt.

He heard the sound of many footsteps, he heard the chirping of birds and the sound of a gurgling stream. He smelled the fragrance of nature, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and smelled the taste of black tea.

"black tea?"

I reluctantly opened my eyes and saw through the glass the natural scenery of the river valley in spring outside the house. Birds were chirping in the trees, and a clear stream flowed by the side of the house. The stream reflected the sunlight in the forest, and the sparkling waves were really beautiful.

"Glass?"

This is a glass house. The house itself is approximately hexagonal. Judging from the height, it is on the second floor.

The house is very large. Girls in maid uniforms outside the house are trimming the flower beds, while the girls on the first floor are sorting out documents, or laughing and processing alchemy materials and potion materials in the workshop.

The girl pushing the dining cart appeared from the second floor stairwell. The entire second floor of the glass house was simply decorated, with a mahogany bookshelf leaning against the left side of the floor and small flowers blooming on the windowsill. A violet-colored pointed hat hung on the hanger on the wall, and spices were slowly floating out of the incense burner on the alchemy workbench.

In front of Shade and Fiona, who were kissing each other, a parasol was set up in the glass room. Under the umbrella was a white afternoon tea round table. In addition to the white porcelain tea set, there were also two scattered letters and Several books.

On either side of the table, two ladies sat watching their sudden appearance.

PS: Needless to say who this is?
