Whispering Verse

In this way, on the sixth day of the Wind-rising Moon, Margaret Anjou officially completed the mission of Vanessa Benenice, the "Witch of the Earth", and became the witch's apprentice. The contradictions and conflicts between the Randall Valley Masons Association and the Anjou royal family were finally resolved with the "help" of various interest exchanges, mediation, and cultists.

Shade sighed, not knowing what would happen to him at Oxenfurt Manor at this time tomorrow night.

However, before Xia De could say his sigh, he heard "her" voice:

【earthquake. 】

The wine glass in Shade's hand rippled, and then the whole house shook. But fortunately, because there have been many earthquakes in the Randall Valley area recently, people are not too panicked.

Everyone evacuated to the outdoor courtyard in an orderly manner. The thinly dressed ladies relied on their male companions to keep warm, while the servants brought warm towels and a few clothes to distribute among the people who evacuated to the courtyard.

Miss Benenice refused the coat sent by Margaret and handed it to a young girl whom Shade didn't know. The young girl was a little at a loss.

"Look over there."

Miss Sylvia said suddenly, and at the same time, the crowd also noticed something unusual in the night sky.

So Shade raised his head and looked at the eastern sky. Under the dark night, it was like a transparent curtain hanging in the sky, or like a flame that was constantly moving and solidifying in the night. Dreamlike colors appear in the distance in the sky, with a beautiful winding appearance, even like a transparent colorful mountain peak under the night sky.

"aurora."

Miss Lassers said softly:

"In all the years I've lived in the Randall Valley, I've never heard that we get auroras here."

Other guests in the courtyard also noticed the strange colors in the eastern sky, and the discussion about this scenery diluted the chill of the late winter night.

"Precursor of a major earthquake."

Miss Benenice said with certainty:

"Even if I close my eyes, I can feel the restlessness of the earth. It's almost like there is an active volcano under our feet, and the eruption of the volcano will not be long."

"In about 30 hours."

Shade said softly:

"I just met the guardian. He told me that the fourth stage of Crazy Land will appear in the early morning of Saturday."

"30 more hours?"

Miss Sylvia narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Time is really tight. Let's return to Benanis's manor. There is no point in staying here any longer."

"OK."

There were quite a few guests who wanted to leave at this time, and the most important part of the banquet was over. People were in panic and it was not suitable to continue. Shade and Margaret said hello and left with the other three ladies.

However, they were not going back in the carriage. Miss Sylvia planned to open the portal and leave directly. For short-distance transmissions like this in a city, as long as there are no other people within a hundred meters, there is no need to worry about being detected.

Of course, Miss Sylvia has been able to do this kind of short-range space teleportation before, but only with that strange enlightenment [weaving] can we guarantee the safety of nine hundred and ninety-nine thousandths. Moreover, the transfer location needs to be arranged in advance, and it is not something you can just leave.

A group of four people came to the deserted back garden. As the black-haired young witch raised her right hand and shouted a spell, amidst the sound of broken glass, a vortex of overlapping gold and black appeared in the back garden of the manor. In front of the low wall:

"Let's go."

Miss Sylvia, Miss Bernice, and Miss Lassers walked in respectively, and Shade followed at the end, but before entering the vortex, he turned his head for the last time and crossed the brightly lit manor under the shadow of the moon. The mansion looks toward the eastern night sky with auroras:

"Finally, it's the end again."

"She" smiled softly:

[The current world, the sixth era, 1854 according to the universal calendar, late winter, the windy moon.

The colorful aurora reflects in your pupils, and the cold night wind howls to you of the coming disaster. As you run around in this city where ancient bloodlines spread, you finally get a glimpse of the final truth amid the conspiracy of demons and cultists. The blood of the kingdom has completed its mission, and the girl who is pursuing her father has also seen the end of the road. Next, comes the final chapter of the story of the river valley. Foreigners who have their feet on the earth, when lions and brown bears run in the mountains and forests of the river valley, when evil men in black robes wait in the shadows, when the chest is filled with a heart of stone. Loveless people pray silently, what choice will you make in the end? 】

"When you say that, I feel nervous immediately."

Shade murmured softly, then turned and walked towards the portal. With another sound of glass shattering, the black and golden vortex shrank and disappeared, leaving only the silent night, as if frozen in the time of this disaster.

The news provided by the guardians about the Randall Valley disaster, the fossil's resurrection, and his own problems in the early hours of Saturday morning were still passed on to the Witch Council by Miss Benanis, who then contacted the Five Gods Church and passed the news on.

Just like what Miss Benanis said, if she hadn't found Shade and repeatedly showed that she had close relationships with men, it probably wouldn't be long before the church would secretly search for the witch and collect the suspect's body. The identity is locked into her body.

As for Shade, after returning to the witch's manor on Thursday night, he told the witches about his meeting with the guardian again tonight. Because before this, based on what he saw in the past and the Sixth Era, Shade speculated that something would go wrong with the Guardian before the Chosen Ceremony, and told his speculation. Therefore, the witches in the manor were concerned about This result is not very surprising.

The upcoming Battle of Randall Valley will probably be no less intense than the Battle of Fort Midhill in late autumn last year. Because of the outstanding performance of the great witches during the Battle of the Pantanal Swamp last year, the Witches Council has negotiated with the True God Church this time to hire the witches to join the ranks of protecting the city. Like the Spiritual Order in Tobesk's Darkfall incident, and the Apuna Library that helped guard the narrow space during the Battle of Middleburg.

It was Friday night when Shade went to the manor, and it was early Saturday morning when the turmoil and disaster came. Even though the witches had to assist the church and were short of manpower, in the end Miss Aurora, Miss Bernice, Miss Carina and Miss Sylvia still decided that at least one person would wait for Xia outside Oxenfurt Manor tomorrow. German news.

The final candidate was Miss Sylvia, who had mastered the power of space. In this way, even if the entire manor is pulled into the subspace by the devil, Miss Sylvia can still find a way to rescue Shade.

Therefore, in addition to Sister Devlin, Ms. Marilyn Handel, Joy Barton, and Dr. Schneider, there will be one more friend who will appear near the manor to help Shade tomorrow.

But Shade actually felt that maybe he was enough on his own.

That night, the lights were brightly lit at Benanis Manor, and everyone discussed the plan very late. Although Miss Benenice strongly invited Shade to spend the night at her manor, Shade chose to return to his home in Tobesk.

This is not because the environment of the manor is inferior to that of No. 6 St. Teresa Square, but that only by sleeping at No. 6 St. Teresa Square can Shade feel that he sleeps peacefully.

There were no girls staying at home tonight, so Shade packed up the relics and materials that he would bring to Randall Valley tomorrow, then washed up early and went to bed.

Little Mia lay peacefully next to Shade's pillow. Although he felt sorry for the cat, Shade decided to take Mia to Oxenfurt Manor tomorrow. The time key in the autumn of 3028 of the Fifth Age is now the last chance left. Because it is not sure whether to travel through the Evernight City, it is necessary to bring the lighting equipment cat with it.

Shade knew how cruel it was to let this weak, pitiful and helpless cat go with him to a manor where demonic power was entrenched. Therefore, the night he fell asleep with many worries on his mind, he once again had a rather bizarre dream. .

In the dream, he was holding a candlestick and walking alone in a dark corridor similar to the Night Manor where the vampire god held a cocktail party, and in front of the door at the end of the corridor, Shade's own body was lying.

He stepped forward to take a closer look, but the corpse stretched out his hand and threw Shade, who was looking at it, into the bottomless abyss in the door behind him. As he continued to fall, Shade saw something glowing at the bottom of the abyss.

That was Mia, Mia who was as majestic as a big tiger. It was wearing the golden armor sent by Miss Mia San Gold, and its tail was wagging like the sun falling into the abyss.

Golden Mia flew towards the falling Shade, but instead of saving him, she slapped Shade on the chest with her claws.

The claw in the dream did not feel any obvious pain, but the strong fright still made Shade wake up:

"Oh, my God~"

The foreigner woke up from his nightmare and suddenly sat up from his bed. Breathing heavily while looking at the bedroom scene and recalling the dream, he saw the soft cat rolling from his chest to the quilt around his waist because of his movement to stand up.

After the cat struggled to stand up, it looked at him with reproachful eyes.

Not sure if it was because of the dream just now, Shade looked at the cat's big amber eyes staring at him, and for a moment he felt that the eyes were somewhat inexplicably charming.

"Oh, what was I thinking?"

He was stunned for a moment, then slapped his face hard, and looked at the window again. It was almost still dark outside the curtains. At the end of winter, the nights are still very long. Even if it is already six o'clock in the morning, the night is still so dense.
