Whispering Verse

Chapter 2504 The Moon and the Earth·Ending

Vanessa just covered her mouth with her right hand, staring at the ring on the ring finger of her open left hand.

Shade had no choice but to look at Sirius again, wanting to ask her what to do next. And Siris, who directed all of this, was unwilling to let the "opera" be interrupted even if the heroine encountered an unexpected situation.

She sang:

"Knight from a foreign country, you fell into my scheme after all. Without the sword, you will not be able to split my scales. Without the weapon, you will never have the chance to take her away. Princess, you will always belong to me. . And your knight will spend the rest of his life in regret."

With that said, Sirius pulled Vanessa up again and tried to walk towards the mirror, but this time she failed to pull Vanessa at all. However, the latter put down his right hand covering his mouth, and moved his eyes from the ring on his left hand to the young knight who gave away the ring.

"Oh, come on."

The girl who planned all this said while covering her forehead. Before the heroine could not help but make other moves, she just pulled her towards the mirror.

This scene looked more like "the dragon kidnapped the princess" than before.

And before they left, looking at Sirius's expressions and gestures, she clearly wanted Shade to stay at the sacrificial site for a while, so that she could have time to appease Vanessa's emotions so that the show could continue.

So the girl in the theater continued to play music, and the "adventurers" on the stage crowded in front of the mirror, still singing to delay time.

Shade, who had nothing to do for the time being, stood in the middle of the empty sacrificial field, looked up at the moon in the sky, and then realized that this was the first time he had returned here since the war.

Standing here and looking at the moon, the moon seemed extraordinarily big. Of course, it couldn't compare to the silver moon over the endless wilderness in his dream.

When Shade relaxed and stared at the night sky, "she" in his ear suddenly reminded:

[The moon sometimes needs sacrifices. 】

"What does this mean? Remind me that I can gain power from the moon through sacrifice?"

This is not a particularly incredible thing. "Sacrificing sacrifices to gods to obtain blessings or power" is common sense in this world. Shade was just curious as to why "she" suddenly pointed this out, and then realized that this might be related to him swallowing the "eternal light".

The light belongs to the "Old God of Light", but the moon can also emit light. Just as there is an overlap between the moon and death, there is an even greater overlap between the moon and light. But now that Shade has received the ancient god's power that he voluntarily shared from the chosen one of light, this may make "her" remind him at this time.

"So, how do I perform sacrifices? Burn some books? Make up stories that don't exist in this world? Or how about bowing to the moon?"

"She" did not answer the question, so Shade did not continue to ask. He looked at the moon, and the moon seemed to be looking at him.

After waiting for at least five minutes, the girls on the other side of the mirror couldn't even think of new lyrics and could only repeat the previous lines twice. Shade, bathed in the moonlight, was finally allowed to return to the cabin of the Radiant Messenger. opera.

Apparently Hillis has gotten Vanessa back to normal, because the show continues.

After returning to the stage, Shade was surrounded by the "Adventurer" girls. This time they did not rush to push Shade into the mirror again. Instead, they took off Shade's coat and tie together. Then he sprayed him with a very light perfume, made his neat hair slightly messy, and then pushed Shade, who was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body, into the mirror again.

This time, the other side of the mirror connection is no longer even Moon Bay, but the Church of the Forgotten in Randall Valley.

The moon was sparse, and the moonlight shone through the holes in the church roof onto the interior of the church, where only a few candles were lit. Under the unusually bright moonlight, the blond Vanessa Benenice was lying on her back in a transparent crystal coffin.

Her long blond hair was not tied up, but spread messily underneath her body. She was wearing a bright red dress, and her waist was extremely slender. The two hands were held together in front of him, and the "moonlight ring" on his left hand shone eye-catchingly under the moonlight like a spotlight above his head.

The location where Shade appeared was the door of the church, while Sirius was standing next to the coffin in the center of the church:

"Knight from a foreign land, Hamilton of Rejed, I recognize your wisdom and courage, but you will be unable to do anything about this dilemma. The beautiful princess has been put into a fatal curse by me, and she has fallen into a permanent sleep at this moment. .

Even if you can defeat me with your bare hands, you will never be able to awaken your beloved~"

After saying that, he looked at Shade expectantly. At the same time, Shade could also feel many eyes on him in the mirror behind him, expecting him to guess the "riddle".

Anyone who has read fairy tales knows what to do at this time:

"Dragon, dragon, you only know the power, but you don't know that true love's kiss can lift any curse.

This is the blessing of love from the gods, and I will awaken my princess with it. "

While talking to Shade, he walked forward. Shade didn't have to look back to know that the girls on the other side of the mirror who were supposed to be "actors" must be watching the show with excitement at this time.

The dragon played by Hillis did not stop Shade, but watched Shade come to the other side of the crystal coffin. His right hand touched the coffin, and he was very sure that it was not a whole piece of crystal, but glass:

"Probably a prop for the troupe's performance."

He stretched out his hands and picked up Vanessa, who was nervous and trembling with her eyes closed, and let her sit in the coffin and lean into his arms - in fact, she had her eyes squinted.

Shade didn't kiss her directly, but blew her ears like a prank, causing Vanessa's whole face to turn red.

He laughed, and then looked at Sirius on the other side of the crystal coffin:

"Are you sure you want us to do this kind of thing in the Church of the Forgotten?"

He didn't say anything, he just made mouth movements, and Sirius, who could read lips, nodded slightly and looked at them like this.

Shade looked at Vanessa, who was really shaking in her arms. The two had kissed each other a long time ago and had done more extreme things, but at this moment she seemed more nervous than ever.

And since the other actors have become the audience and are all looking forward to the next scene, then Shade, who was pulled onto the stage and temporarily turned from an audience into an actor, cannot live up to their expectations:

"May true love's kiss still hold. Wake up, my princess."

He lowered his head and kissed her, but only touched the slightly cold lips before they parted.

When he looked down again, the "cursed" Vanessa in her arms opened her eyes and looked up at Shade with some shyness, excitement and uneasiness.

So, the blonde girl in the crystal coffin under the moonlight reached out and kissed him again, and this time it was not as simple as breaking up at the touch of a finger.

The quiet moonlight illuminated the three people under the moon. Sirius looked at them from the side, feeling a little happy and a little lonely, but mostly happy and relieved.

At this time, there was loud applause coming from the direction of the mirror at the door of the church, and even the music had stopped. Even if it was inconvenient for Shade to look over there, he could guess that the girls in the band were also looking over there at the mirror. here.

After the kiss ended, Shade originally wanted to say something to Vanessa, whose eyes seemed to have moonlight, but Sirius said first:

"True love's kiss really lifted my curse? Even if I were a dragon, I can't stop your love at this moment."

Although she said this, she held Vanessa's hand and helped the witch jump out of the coffin:

"But I will try one last time, knight in a foreign land, I will hide the princess in a secret place where no one can find it. If you can still find the princess, I will give you my blessing!"

"It's not over yet?"

Shade lowered his voice and asked her with some doubts, and Sirius also replied in a low voice:

"Be patient, Shade. The last scene is coming, and it will be over soon. Oh, Vanessa, stop looking at Shade and come with me. You are a professional actor. Don't let me teach you this. "

With that said, he forcibly pulled the witch who was unwilling to leave away.

The girls walked out of the mirror and recovered the crystal coffin. Shade nodded apologetically and smiled at the holy emblem hanging on the wall of the church, and then followed them back to the cabin.

The opera finally came to its last act, and the girls in the orchestra also began to perform the last act in celebration. The "adventurers" all praised the knight's true love's kiss, and then pushed him into the mirror for the last time:

"Go to the princess, the moon will bless you, the earth will bless you, and everything in the world will bless you.

Find her, touch her, kiss her. She is in your heart, she is in your dreams. "

Not surprisingly, the final location was the "Temple of Night" in the mountains of the Randall Valley.

The sea of ​​trees under the night seemed more dense than during the day, and the temple on the side of the cliff under the starry sky also looked more deserted than during the day.

Stepping out of the mirror, Shade walked through three incomplete arches and arrived at the end of the temple. He didn't see Sirius here, he only saw Vanessa standing alone in the center of the Sun, Moon and Stars Ceremony Formation, facing the sea of ​​trees, with her back to the cliff, and looking up at the moon with her hands behind her back.

In just a few minutes, she changed into another costume, wearing a laurel crown on her head, and her long blond hair was tied into a big braid hanging behind her back. She wears a loose white linen robe that is belted at the waist and chest to accentuate her figure and keep her comfortable.

The robe is short-sleeved, so you can see that there are three gold hoops on her left and right arms. Her feet that were not wearing fabric were bare and stepped directly on the ground, and her toenails were painted with red nail polish the color of pomegranate juice.

Holy yet charming, solemn yet frivolous. The moonlight made her and her shadow, together with the ritual symbols in the temple, resemble a sundial. It was ancient but peaceful, and time seemed to be suspended here.
