Whispering Verse

Shade even heard a series of crashing sounds from the back kitchen, which was obviously a cupboard falling to the ground.

The earthquake lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping. Miss Aurora immediately directed her followers to check the wall with a bad look to prevent tiny cracks. Most of the rituals currently arranged around the hotel require that the walls be intact and have no gaps. Once a gap appears, it may be an opportunity for the enemy to break through.

"Why do all disasters cause earthquakes?"

Shade was worried about the girls upstairs, but he still stayed on the first floor, which was theoretically the most dangerous.

Miss Aurora was temporarily absent, and her niece Hailey answered Shade's question softly:

"Probably because the earth is the foundation of everything."

She glanced at Shade quietly and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shade was deep in thought. Of course she knew everything about Shade's relationship with her aunt and even with the great witches. Therefore, although the relationship with Sha De is not very deep, I always thought that Sha De was the kind of dissolute and passionate man.

But judging from the two encounters between Randall Valley and Green Lake City, it seems that he is not who he imagined.

Suddenly there was another sound at the window, and everyone looked over with vigilance, and then saw another paper crane flying over. Shade asked Hailey to call Miss Aurora, and he put the paper crane in.

But this time the folded paper flying object did not open immediately. The paper crane made the voice of Miss Bernice:

"How much older are you than me?"

"Um?"

"six."

Miss Aurora came over and said, and then the paper crane opened. But seeing Shade looking at her curiously, the lady with wavy brown hair explained:

"It's not about age, it's about seat. Although Vanessa has been promoted to the twelfth ring with your help, she is still in the ninth seat for the time being, and I am in the third seat. In fact, the age difference between us is not very big."

After saying that, without giving Xia De a chance to continue asking, he directly opened the paper crane:

"The white fog has entered the city. The church has tried to disperse it in various ways, but it has no effect."

She handed the letter to Shade:

"Bernice and Granny Cassandra also encountered relics and attacks, but with Sister Devlin here, the situation was okay. They observed the fog invading the city. According to the nun's calculations, it would take up to thirty minutes , the fog will reach our current location in at least ten minutes."

Shade quickly scanned the letter:

"The girls who were originally waiting for pick-up at the lake didn't come out of the fog?"

"They are voluntary. If the Edwards are still taken away, we must find a way to enter the island from the lake, and someone must take care of them when the time comes."

Miss Aurora said, shaking her head slightly:

"Don't worry, the followers we can bring to participate in the Battle of Green Lake are all reliable and capable. Moreover, this is an epic of the Sixth Era and a legend of the Sixth Era. How could there be no sacrifice?"

At 7:17, Miss Sylvia, the highest-ranking lady, used the basic spell [Eagle Eye Technique] to observe the edge of the white fog that diffused into the city in the rainy night.

According to the judgment of the church, the essence of these fogs is certainly not fog, but a derivative phenomenon caused by space chaos. Therefore, any method to expel ordinary fog is ineffective. As for the immovable Green Lake Hotel, it is naturally impossible to escape the fog.

"Can our hotel prevent fog from entering?"

Shade asked, but Miss Aurora just shook her head cautiously.

At 7:23, fireball meteors appeared in the sky again. This was the fourth wave of astral meteorites tonight. It's just that the highest point of the fog has reached a position that is indistinguishable to the naked eye, so the church can only launch an interception to the highest point in advance.

Shade and Miss Aurora could only watch the blue sparks bloom briefly in the sky from the window.

"This time, the church was able to collect a thousand years of astral meteorites in one go. This is a very rare mineral."

This is the witch's little joke.

At seven twenty-eight, there was no sound from the second floor, but Shade suddenly raised his head and looked upward:

"What does this feel like? It's terrible!"

The violent spatial fluctuations are even more shocking than naturally occurring spatial shifts. Shade tried to use [Enhanced Spatial Perception] to locate the location of the corridor on the second floor, but surprisingly found that the entire corridor had disappeared:

"How can it be?"

The stairs still existed, and when Shade walked along the stairs to the landing on the second floor, Miss Sylvia also happened to come down from the third floor.

At this time, the entire second floor space, except for the floor connecting the two stairwells, became pure black. It’s not that the walls, floors, and ceilings turned black, but that there was only pure black space left:

"What's this?"

"Don't reach out!"

Miss Sylvia, who was standing with Shade, said in shock, pulling Shade back a step:

"nothingness."

"What?"

Shade felt like he heard a very high-end word.

"There should be matter here, but these materials have been transferred away, but they have to come back. Therefore, the space leaves enough space for the original matter. It is not a void without air and light, but a conceptual 'empty'. The whole The second floor went to unknown places.”

She held Shade's hand tightly, and Shade felt that she was trembling:

"I know this, and I thought about what the door that appeared on the second floor is. The Keeper-level relic [Transportation Gate], as long as it is opened, will transport the surrounding scenery to an unpredictable location. It may be the material world, It could be somewhere else!”

Shade felt his heart tightening, but he still said calmly:

"Don't worry, Carina, Luvia and Tifa are all very capable. The other girls are also excellent followers trained by Carina. They will be fine. Besides, it's not you. A return charm?"

Shade held her hand tightly, and Miss Sylvia shook her head:

"The talisman can only be effective at close range. They cannot come back through the talisman. Tifa Servit is on the third floor. She has not left. She just delivered a message for us."

This is the only good news, but Xia De, who is calm on the surface, is still anxious:

"How do they get back?"

"Wait until a certain time, this is uncertain. Or walk out of the corridor and come back from an unknown place in your own way."

She pursed her lips, and Shade realized that her eyes were actually a little red:

"My teacher died because of this. The teacher discovered this, but the appearance of the door is not what it is now. The appearance of the door is different every time it appears. The teacher tried to use this to establish a permanent and reliable portal in the material world. , it is convenient for the great witches who do not have their own station to communicate with each other, and the teacher’s age is only thirty years younger than Granny Cassandra.”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Even if he is extremely worried about the safety of Luvia and Carina who have disappeared, Shade must ensure that he remains calm:

"They will come back safely, I promise."

Long-haired Luvia has the power to interfere with Luvia's body in a short period of time and even directly give her knowledge. Therefore, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Shade believes that they will definitely come back:

"Now the second floor cannot be entered in any way, which is a good thing. We don't need to worry about someone invading the second floor from the outside."

That was all he could say, and Miss Sylvia put her arms around him. Shade felt that she was crying, but she quickly pushed him away:

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Quietly wiped his eyes:

"I'm going back to the third floor. Shade, pay attention to safety. Carina and the others will come back safely."

After gently kissing the side of Shade's face, she left along the stairs without looking back.

But just after taking two steps, he bumped into Tifa who appeared on the higher step.

The black-haired girl held the hem of her skirt and lowered her head to look at him from above. Shade's eyes were now frighteningly bright:

"Everyone will be safe and sound. Carina, Luvia, and the other girls on the second floor will all be back. The past cannot be changed, but the future is determined by our decisions."

His voice is not loud, but quite stable:

"What happened in the past will never happen again, I promise they will all come back."

Miss Sylvia nodded slightly and wiped her eyes:

"Tell Xiwei on the first floor about this and contact the parliament. Your Excellency the Speaker will have a way to contact Carina. Shade, I and you have always been here, right?"

After getting Shade's promise, she walked towards the third floor. Shade looked up. Tifa, wearing the iconic black and white maid dress, was still looking at him from the top.

The head maid, who usually behaved elegantly, also had a worried expression on her face at this moment. Shade didn't promise her anything, just nodded slightly. The black-haired maid nodded in response, she believed Shade.

Shade returned to the first floor and informed Miss Aurora and the others about what happened on the second floor. Although this means that there is no longer a need to guard the second floor, Miss Aurora is also worried about the situation of the disappeared group at the moment.

"At least Carina should be fine. The death of the great witch will make all members of the council feel something. And no matter where she goes, she can contact the council at any time, so they should be fine now."

Unlike young Miss Sylvia, Miss Aurora, who was obviously much more mature, did not show worry and let Shade comfort her. Instead, she comforted Shade. She knew about Shade's relationship with Luvia, so she was worried that he would be affected by this incident.

Fortunately, Shade also has confidence in them. It is impossible to say that he is not worried at all now. He even thought about using divinity immediately to track the whereabouts of the missing group of people.

But just as Miss Sylvia said, the Witch Council has made plans for such a thing. Miss Aurora temporarily gave her witch jewelry to Hailey, allowing the young girl to enter the council alone and inform the other seven great witches waiting in the council about what happened here.

Six great witches participated in the Battle of Green Lake, and the other seven ladies with different appearances but all extremely powerful were sitting at the long table of the Council at the moment. They were the real backing for this battle.
