Whispering Verse

"Are you always like this?"

Miss Eleser, who went out to look for the silver dragon scale today and successfully brought it back, asked Miss Aurora, who was twisting a cherry as an appetizer, as if she was thinking about adding it to the list later. In champagne or in wine;

"What's always like this? You mean the atmosphere?"

Miss Aurora asked curiously, and then glanced at the harmonious scene at the table:

"If you want to ask about the atmosphere, do you mean the atmosphere of this table as a dinner party for the Hamilton family, or as a dinner party for the Witch Council?"

The blue dragon girl blinked:

"The Witch Parliament. In my impression, every meeting and dinner gathering of those members of the Fifth Era Parliament is like... Well, can you imagine? In the ice and snow castle on the mountain with blizzards, the two sides of the table are not The walls were instead floor-to-ceiling windows. Dense snowflakes were falling outside the window. Next to the long table inside the window, an ice-carved chair was placed every five or six meters. Sitting on the chair were those noble ladies, holding tall bags made of ice cubes in their hands. Stem glass, the wine in the glass is also filled with ice cubes.”

"I can tell how cold it is just by listening to you."

Luvia, who heard the conversation, commented, while Miss Aurora covered her mouth and said with a smile:

"Miss Elisa, are you surprised that the witches of the Sixth Age have such a good relationship?"

She glanced at Shade, who was talking about little Mia's "seating" issue with Miss Matilda, who was obviously in a bad mood:

"Before Shade appeared, our relationship was limited to ordinary friends. Carina was very aloof. I was busy with the family business and didn't often have much contact with other people outside of the parliament. Meghan and Audrey were so aloof. It's so mysterious that no one except the Speaker knows it. Bella stays in her Moon Bay all year round. Mother-in-law Cassandra rarely leaves Fort Midhill now that she's older. However, Emma and Vanessa have always had a good relationship. "

Miss Aurora explained, and smiled at Shade who looked over:

"But since Shade appeared, this cunning man has allowed everyone to sit down and eat like a family. Otherwise, even if everyone was assigned to fight against the enemy in Moon Bay, we probably wouldn't sit down together like this. Luvia, was it the same when you had dinner together at Shade’s house?”

The purple-eyed fortune teller recalled:

"That's the same, but there can't be so many people sitting at the table in Shade's restaurant. But there are also long tables at home, and the area inside the home is very large."

During the meal, no one talked about business. Only the owner of the manor took the initiative to raise his glass and motioned for everyone to have a drink together to celebrate the reunion at this moment:

"Except for Sister Devlin, everyone involved in this operation has arrived at Moon Bay. I wish this operation goes smoothly."

Everyone, including Amelia, raised their glasses and clinked their glasses on the table, and then the sumptuous dinner officially began.

Although Shade didn't do much serious work today, he was still tired after a long day. Therefore, during the dinner, Meghan kept asking Shade if he wanted to eat extra, as if she was worried that he wouldn't be full.

Everyone was in a good mood. During the meal, they were chatting and laughing and talking about interesting topics with the people around them. In the middle of the dinner, Xia Dehu, who was listening to Meghan telling her and Audrey about the troubles she and Audrey had dealt with at Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals in the past two months and re-arranging the revival work of "Green Lake Island", was startled. Then he looked up and looked out the window.

Almost at the next moment, all the big witches, Luvia and the little unicorn also stopped talking and laughing and looked out the window. Agelina and Emilia were the slowest to respond. When they noticed that no one was talking anymore, they nervously looked out with everyone:

"Well, isn't it already almost eight o'clock? Isn't it a little too bright outside now?"

The little red-haired princess asked softly.

Outside the window is the night of Moon Bay, and looking out at this moment, although the night sky at this time cannot be regarded as "bright as day", it is not at all as dark as the night should be.

"I remember before we ate, it was pretty normal outside."

Emilia also said, but everyone did not rush to gather at the window. This is the stupidest behavior when facing unknown events.

Shade stood up, followed by Miss Aurora, Vanessa and Megan, all of whom were twelfth-level great witches.

When I came to the window and looked out, the entire land, although peaceful, was completely illuminated by the abnormally bright stars and moon. The mysterious veil of the night seemed to have been roughly lifted, exposing all the secrets to people's eyes.

The moon and stars were so bright that Shade could even see the details of the streets in the distance. Staring upward at the moon and stars for a long time will produce a strange sense of panic, as if the familiar scenery no longer exists in the past.

"It seems that Yuewan City Hall can save a fortune on gas street lights."

Megan was still joking aside, while Vanessa asked Xiang Shade and Miss Aurora:

"What did you feel?"

"The light has become abnormal, not the moonlight and starlight, but all the light outside here."

Miss Aurora said seriously, then turned to the countess and said:

"Bella, go tell your maids to close the curtains on all the windows."

Miss Matilda and Tifa immediately stood up and left the restaurant. Shade did not wonder how Miss Matilda accepted Tifa and the others to participate in the management of this manor again:

"All the light outside is harmful. I feel the malice coming from the light. It's a bit like the situation in the Boulder Gold Desert. Fortunately for the Ring Warlock, ordinary people may suffer permanent and irreversible damage to their skin if they stay outside for a long time."

"not only that."

The great witch of "light" pressed her hand on the glass:

"There are also mental hazards, but I don't know if this only happens around Moon Bay, or if it is like this in the entire material world tonight."

Danglanglang~

A few dice were thrown out by Luvia lightly:

"It's most likely the entire world, but Moon Bay is indeed affected the most strongly. Shade, how does the moon make you feel now?"

Shade stared blankly at the moon through the window:

"The moon is still the same moon, but it's a little strange."

He tried to reach out and touch the bright and even dazzling three-wheeled moon, but as expected, he only touched the glass. The moon itself has not changed in any way, but the light emitted by the moon has become abnormal.

Shade was able to notice something was wrong outside before anyone else, precisely because of his special perception of the moon. He was a little angry now, but he didn't know why he was angry.

At this moment, Miss Belindel at the table asked:

"The brighter light at night won't have much impact. Will the sunlight after sunrise also have the same effect?"

Miss Aurora, who frowned and looked outside, thought for a moment:

"I'm not sure. I've never seen this kind of thing before. Let's eat first. After eating, go to the parliament to gather. I think the Speaker is going to convene an extraordinary meeting."

The witches all walked back to their seats, and Miss Belindel also ordered the maids to arrange for people to go to the Cassandra Auction House, Margaret Manor, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe of the Goethe Hotel, and the Aurora Family. The fleet sent a message asking them to close the curtains as soon as possible and not to look outside.

Only Shade was still standing at the window looking at the bright moon outside. After Luvia called out, he closed the curtains and returned to his seat.

Since the abnormal phenomenon has enveloped the entire material world, the final battle must not be far away. The world is also urging the chosen ones of light to be born as soon as possible. According to previous experience, only the chosen ones can temporarily suppress such chaos related to the distortion of the nature of the world.

The unexpected situation made everyone's original good mood worse, but fortunately the meal ended with laughter. Then the witches rushed to the parliament, and the witch apprentices also split up to deal with the problems caused by tonight's anomaly.

Luvia called Miss Elisa and planned to take a look in the courtyard and try to get in touch with the shining moonlight and starlight. Shade stopped Amelia and asked her to stay in the restaurant to talk further.

Seeing Agelina standing aside with her lips pursed, not knowing whether to stay or leave, Shade asked her to stay too:

"Emilia, I remember you mentioned that angelic relic [Ocarina of Time]."

The girl with pointed ears lit up:

"Yes, do you need the sword to be sent to Yuewan now? I will send the letter now and it will be delivered tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow."

Shade asked again:

"I just want to ask, does that sword have the ability to enhance time-based rituals or spells? If this is your secret, you don't have to tell it."

Emilia shook her head hurriedly:

"It's okay, the information about [Ocarina of Time] is in the library of St. Byrons, and Miss Daniste also knows it. When the sword is swung, it sometimes makes a flute sound, and it is indeed related to the power of time. That’s why it’s called the ‘Ocarina of Time’.”

She glanced at Agelina, the first-level warlock on the side, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the latter, so she continued to introduce:

"The function of this holy sword is relatively simple. When held, it is immune to interference from most of the forces of time, and can selectively trigger the following effects: accelerate the flow of one's own time to slow down the speed of other objects or creatures within a certain range. . It is said that the sword can also pause time within a certain range, but I don’t know how to use it. I have just arrived in Central, and I haven’t accessed all the secrets of that sword yet.”

As she said that, she looked at Agelina worriedly:

"Agelina, you have a nosebleed."

The little red-haired princess who listened attentively immediately touched her nose in a hurry. After discovering that she really had a nosebleed, she had to be temporarily taken away by the maid to deal with it. Although Agelina didn't say much, Shade felt that she was not in a good mood.

So only Shad and the elf girl were left in the restaurant. Little Mia, who was full, was lying on Shad's lap and wagging her tail, while the little unicorn was still enjoying the fruit after the meal.
