Chapter 829 Dream Jigsaw Puzzles and Flowers

The rain in Tobesk really lasted all Sunday. When Luvia came to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square in the evening as scheduled, the rain had not abated.

Tonight there was already some chill at the turn of autumn and winter. When the girl with purple eyes walked through the door through the rain curtain like a string of pearls under the eaves in the hazy and ambiguous light of the foyer, Shade put away the umbrella for her, and then talked with some The cold girl went upstairs together.

Rainwater flows along the drainage pipes on the walls to the ditches on the ground. The whole city is bathed in the rain, peaceful and quiet.

On a rainy late autumn night, it is really pleasant to be able to have a candlelight dinner with the girl you love in your own house. During dinner, Luvia told Shade about a strange dream she had recently.

Probably because she was too worried about the affairs of Fort Midhill, even though the battle had been half a week ago, Luvia still dreamed that Iluna and Sister Devlin worked together and failed to stop Qiao from dying. E. Barton brings back Marilyn Handel by force.

This directly led to the complete loss of control of the level 0 relics. Before the early hours of Thursday morning, Fort Midhill ushered in a terrifying disaster of thousands of ghosts running wild.

"Didn't I appear in your dream?"

Shade was sitting on the other side of the table with a napkin wrapped around him and a silver fork in his hand. Mia was lying on his hand in a long shape, waiting for Shade to feed her.

The purple-eyed girl under the candlelight shook her head slightly:

"You were not in the dream, but Fort Midhill was not destroyed. Sister Devlin lit the fire to block the evil spirits in the narrow room. Joy Barton, who regretted her actions, also participated in the doomed confrontation. , all the living, even the vampires in the Fort Midhill area, participated in the fight against the evil spirits coming out of the Collapse Narrow. At the end of the dream, I heard the sound of a horn, and then a man appeared under the moon. Angel."

She looked at the candlelight slightly absentmindedly:

"The figure looked familiar. The white wings on its back were burnt black. It blew the horn in the air and suppressed all the evil spirits back to Sikal Mountain. From then on, Sikal Mountain became a ghost mountain, and the church also suffered losses due to the battle. Tragic. Joey Barton, who made a big mistake, was seriously injured and hid in the mountains, but he failed in the end. Marilyn Handel's soul was severely damaged and eventually completely shattered."

"You see, if you think wildly during the day, you will have strange dreams at night."

Shade said with a smile, but he kept his agreement with Priest August and never mentioned the appearance of the death angel wings to Luvia. Luvia's dream was not a simple dream:

"Because of my existence, the story has reached a relatively good ending. Forget about that weird dream."

He picked up the goblet, which contained red wine he had made using magic. The girl with purple eyes also smiled in relief, picked up the wine glass, raised the glass and touched it with Shade:

"Yes, everything is fine. I don't want to think too much, otherwise I will go to your basement to suppress the situation and get out of control."

Bang~

After clinking glasses crisply, Shade drank half the glass of wine in one gulp, then choked and coughed. Luvia covered her mouth and chuckled, stood up again, and reached out her hand to pat Shade's back, who was lying on the table.

Mia, who was lying on the table, half-closed her eyes and tilted her head to look in the direction of the window. Candles were lit indoors, and it was a dark, rainy night outside. In the reflection of the glass, there is an almost identical figure standing behind the human woman.

"Meow~"

Mia meowed, curious as to why the other party didn't sit down and eat together.

Only on a rainy night can the home seem so warm and comfortable. Of course, there was an episode at No. 6, St. Teresa Square, on this night. It was half an hour before midnight. Shade put his arm around Luvia's smooth shoulders and whispered to her in the master bedroom about the Wanxiang Impermanence Card.

While talking, Luvia took the initiative to kiss her, and Shade smiled and hugged her. There was a violent storm outside, but now that he could hold his beloved girl in his arms, the foreigner felt that nothing could affect his good mood.

【Really? 】

The murmur of "her" suddenly sounded in the darkness.

The curtains were closed tightly, blocking out the sound of raindrops hitting the glass. The atmosphere was very good now.

"of course it's true."

Shade replied in his heart, Luvia ended the kiss and opened her purple eyes:

"Knight, there is still a long time tonight. Let me see if the original flame will let you down."

[There is indeed a word that will completely make your current good mood disappear. 】

"Oh, I don't believe it."

【puzzle. 】

The smile in "her" tone could not be concealed at all.

Luvia had already stretched out her arm, ready to get the [Eternal Youth Leaf] placed on the bedside table in advance, but Shade froze:

"Oops! I forgot about this!"

"Shad, what's wrong with you? Is there anything else that's more important than now?"

The purple-eyed girl said with some dissatisfaction, her short brown hair spread on the pillow, and her eyes were filled with anger:

"Are you going to find Dorothy or that princess tonight?"

"Of course not! I forgot about the puzzle! (Chapter 770)"

That puzzle piece was this week's gift that Shade took out of the gift box when he was about to leave for Fort Midhill to participate in the decisive battle. After getting the gift, he went through that long and painful Wednesday night. After returning home from Fort Midhill, he fell into the second half of the week when he didn't want to do anything but just rest. completely forgotten about it.

There are still 27 minutes before the end of the week, and what Shade needs to do is to cut out the puzzle pieces in the puzzle book and put together at least two puzzle pieces.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered this matter, and felt that I was in trouble, so I had to ask Luvia for help:

"Help me, can we do the puzzle together?"

The female fortune teller hesitated for a moment:

"Puzzle? Is this a code word? The new puzzle you learned last night? Or the new technique you learned from the [Pink Book]?"

"Oh, Luvia, stop joking, I really need your help."

It was supposed to be a beautiful night, but Shade was forced to get up, turn on the gas light, listen to the heavy rain outside the window, and play puzzles with Luvia on the bed for half an hour. During this period, there was also an episode where little Mia jumped on the bed and tried to mess up the puzzle.

And this cat also received the "punishment" of being locked in the closet all night. In fact, Shade wanted to test the "live rope trick" he learned from the "Pink Book" on this cat. It is a spell that makes a rope move like a living snake. But because he was worried about hurting the small cat, Shade ultimately did not try.

The arrival of Monday means that Shade will start to deal with the follow-up issues of Fort Midhill. Of course, those problems are not very urgent, but they need to be done after all.

The rain that lasted for nearly two days finally ended in the early morning. After seeing off Luvia who was in good spirits under the still dripping rain eaves in the morning light, Shade took out this week's new gift from the [God's Gift Box]. The gift - a small tin box containing needlework, and the task of doing something related to "tailoring" within this week.

This is a test for the stranger. He is not good at needlework, but he can ask Tifa for advice.

The lazy cat was unwilling to go out with Shade after having a full breakfast. After eating and reading today's newspaper, Shade went to Fort Midhill through the basement.

It was sunny in Tobesk today, but Fort Midhill was caught in the autumn rain. After last week's war, the city has returned to calm in just half a week. Walking through the streets and alleys under umbrellas, there is no sign of panic among the city residents. Just buying flowers and gifts for visiting patients on the roadside, you can still hear many rumors about last Wednesday from people's mouths.

Most of these rumors are funny and unfounded, but they are generally related to ghosts and war. Combined with the series of earthquakes and the eruption of Mount Sikal on Wednesday night, the most outrageous version finally formed in the mouths of citizens is that the dragon living under Mount Sikal has awakened.

This rumor has been widely spread and recognized, because Mount Sikal has limited access control so far, on the grounds that the volcano still has the possibility of erupting. But in the eyes of the citizens, it became evidence that the government was covering up the existence of the dragon.

But no matter what, it's better to let people think it's a dragon than to tell them it's two gods fighting high on Mount Sikal.

At least in this case, the truth is even more outrageous than the citizens' speculation.

When it came to visiting Helen and Grace, Shade didn't think about what to buy in the end, but when it came to visiting patients, there were related customs and rules in this era, so Shade didn't worry about buying the wrong one. He bought two bouquets of crimson hydrangeas from the flower shop on the street. When I walked out of the flower shop, I saw a girl selling flowers on the street walking forward under the eaves of a distant store. I stopped her and wanted to buy flowers of another color to match the monotonous color.

"Oh? It's you."

The flower girl who was stopped by Shade was actually the girl who sold Shade eight flowers during the heavy fog in Fort Rice. Now the eight flowers each have their own place, and Shade saw her again after the war.

The girl looked no different from more than a week ago. She also recognized this generous and young gentleman. With a shy smile, she looked at Shade walking towards him holding an umbrella:

"Sir, long time no see. Would you like to buy flowers?"

Last Wednesday's disaster didn't seem to affect her, and Shade was happy:

"I'm going to visit two patients. Do you have a bouquet of hydrangeas in your basket that can match these hydrangeas?"

"Yes sir, what do you think of this?"

She picked two green platycodons for Shade. Shade thought they looked pretty good. When he wanted to take out his wallet to pay, the girl refused:

"Sir, you gave me too much money last time. These flowers are for you."

"But."

Shade doesn't want to take advantage of the street flower girls, whose lives are not easy.

"Sir, was the person you wish to visit injured last Wednesday?"

The girl on the street asked worriedly. Shade knew that she was changing the subject, but he still nodded in the sound of rain:

"Yes, I was slightly injured in the earthquake. Are your family okay?"

"A bad guy tried to break into our house that night (Chapter 780), but he was chased away by another kind gentleman."

"Kind sir?"

"Yes."

The girl nodded:

"He said that he was the principal of a school, but none of our children met the admission requirements. But a few days ago, he found a church for us, arranged for me and my brothers and sisters to go to the church school, and gave us Living expenses. Selling flowers now is just a small supplement to my family's income, so you don't have to give me money."

"What's that gentleman's name?"

"Oh, I only know his last name is Pigman, let's call him Professor Pigman."

The girl smiled and said:

"He told me that knowledge is power. Therefore, we must master more knowledge and cannot give up going to school. Goodbye, sir, and I wish you a good day!"

She waved goodbye to Shade on the street and walked forward along the narrow space under the eaves, leaving only Shade holding the flowers looking at her back:

"Principal, Professor Pigman? Knowledge is power."

Shade turned around and looked at the street scene behind him. The streets were still so lively in the rain. He seemed to be able to see the headmaster of St. Byrons measuring the city with his steps.

He successfully avoided Professor Pigman during the Middleburg incident, but he still heard about the professor's experience because of a small incident. Maybe not everyone can create miracles in danger after danger like him. But luck always seems to favor those kind and simple children.

“May the [Creator of Innocence] bless you.”

Shade whispered in his heart, then walked into the rain again holding flowers and an umbrella.
