Whispering Verse

Chapter 2631 Owl's Sullenness

The librarian paused for a moment, looked at the back suspiciously, and then followed.

"You did a good job, oh, be careful not to burn the insect shells!"

The elf girl in the forest reminded him in a good mood. Shade nodded, and did not ask why she happened to appear again, but watched Sister Defulin stand up.

She and Shade stood on the left and right, and then stretched out their right hands at the same time and placed them on the hilt of [Ashes]. So the flames that originally attached to the long sword burned to their right hands, and the nun's hair, eye mask and the back of the robe, Shade's eyes, all flashed traces of flames at the same time.

The primordial fire, which became stronger because of the new "firewood", gave them a new power:

"From now on, the power of the primordial fire can directly harm the 'paradox worm'."

Sister Defulin said softly, her voice was still calm, but Shade could feel that she was very happy at this time.

The flames quickly engulfed the remaining body of the insect. When the flames were about to go out, she stretched out her burned hand and pulled out the [Ashes]. So on the sunken ground that was burned downward, only the slightly reddish insect shell remained.

"It seems that you can deal with this insect without me."

The blonde elf continued to praise with a smile. Shade stretched out his hand to pull out the staff stuck in the ground and turned it back into a key:

"I think I still need you. This time, the paradox insect was only bred by ordinary people, and the paradox is just "the son is older than the father". Although this insect has evolved to the second stage, it is not strong."

He looked at the Cumming father and son lying on the ground again. It should be said that this time thanks to Baron Cumming, he maintained the continuity of time and logical consistency, otherwise Shade would have to do more than just listen to the story and kill the insect.

"It's good that you know the danger. I will help you. Oh, this is really hot. I'll take this back. The potion is still being prepared. The first one should be ready soon."

Miss Elf bent down to pick up the insect shell. Shade found that she was hiding from Sister Develyn's "sight" as if she was guilty.

Although the nun was blind, she could see the soul directly. At this moment, the elf was next to her. She tilted her head slightly as if she was puzzled, and then "looked" at Shade. Seeing that Shade didn't say anything, she didn't say what she saw.

Shade nodded gently:

"At this point, the matter of the Cumming family has come to a temporary end."

"The Cumming family is an outsider in Ximu Town. What you see now is probably just the tip of the iceberg of Ximu Town's story."

Miss Elf reminded, and also avoided Miss Danister's gaze, and resolutely refused to look at the red-haired girl.

The blonde elf girl took away the second "Time Worm" shell, and then disappeared into the forest without looking back, with a sense of fleeing.

"Last time, I just saw her pulling you to the sky. This time, I saw her up close. Does she look familiar?"

Even Miss Danister noticed this, and Shade explained:

"She said she is also an elf of the Moonbrook Clan, so she probably looks a lot like Emilia."

"Is that so?"

Miss Danister had more questions:

"That's not right. The Moonbrook Clan has moved to Saint Byrons since the Fifth Era. Where else can there be elves of the Moonbrook Clan in the outside world? Is she also from the academy? What level of student is she? Why haven't I seen her before?"

So the elf girl is not good at hiding herself.

In short, as Shade said, the matter of the Cumming family came to an end for the time being. Shade woke up the unconscious father and son, and watched them leave the forest together before returning to the city with the girls.

As evening approached, the city still had a lively atmosphere because of the opening of the Moon Dance Festival. But in this lively atmosphere, Shade unexpectedly felt a certain breath of impending storm.

After all, considering the time, the local Dawn Church and the Sun Church have probably figured out the "time travel" from Father Francois.

However, Shade had no acquaintances in the local church, so he couldn't find out the situation. On the way back, Miss Danister and Miss Bell, who were traveling with him, were still thinking about what happened this afternoon, so they didn't speak, and Sister Defulin, who didn't like to chat, didn't speak either.

The followers of the two witches and the two high-level blind nuns also didn't intend to chat with Shade, so the way back seemed a bit dull.

After returning to the Accordion Hotel, he and the ladies had a simple dinner, and then went into the woods again with the three nuns.

He took the nuns to touch the statue of the ancient god in the "woodland that cannot be walked out", and then sent the three nuns out of the woods before turning back home to change clothes so that they could come back to attend the concert in the evening.

In the process of entering the woods, Shade also talked in detail with Sister Defulin about what happened recently in the Vista Woodland, and the nun just listened quietly.

Only when they said goodbye to each other at the edge of the woods did Sister Defulin speak:

"Did you recognize the elf?"

??????55.??????

Shad immediately smiled:

"Yes, she is not good at hiding herself, I knew you could see it. Can you tell her exact age?"

"56 years old."

56 years old is the adult age standard for contemporary elves, and if Shade remembers correctly, the age of Emilia Siam Nord, who is still raising unicorns in the academy, is 53 years old (Chapter 2178).

"Three years, I understand, but do elves grow and develop so quickly?"

He gestured with his hand to show his height. Sister Devlin shook her head and did not answer.

So they separated for the time being, but Shade would come back tonight after attending the concert, find the nuns' camp in the forest and borrow the nuns' blindfold.

They had a tacit agreement not to bring up this topic in town. Shade knew that Sister Devlin didn't like to be seen under her blindfold.

By the time I got home and changed my clothes before going into the city, the street lights had already lit up the star-studded night. "Stars" not only means that there are no clouds in the sky tonight so you can clearly see the stars and the moon, but also means that the musicians performing in the Golden Concert Hall tonight are all the stars of this era.

At least yesterday, Saturday night, when Shade talked about the concert, Dorothy expressed envy.

As the lights begin to turn on, the city of Vista seems to be agitated with music tonight. Even the Accordion Hotel responded to the occasion by decorating its doors and windows with silver ribbons on the opening night of the Moon Dance Festival. Even the bard performing on the first floor of the hotel tonight was telling stories about the night and the moon.

The joy of the festival also infected the outsiders, and he even felt that his own spirit was vaguely restless. With some longing for the concert, he opened the door of Room 321, and then he saw a large group of gray-brown feathers rushing towards him:

"You actually know how to lock!"

The owl pounced on his face almost immediately, and it was only after Shade hugged the owl that he understood what she was talking about:

"Good evening, wasn't it the topic of conversation two hours ago?"

The owl rolled and turned its face towards him:

"But I only found out after you left after dinner! I was wondering why no one said anything during the meal, but they actually saw that kind of thing!"

Shade felt like she was becoming more and more like a real owl lately.

[Isn’t Deniste Gustave looking more and more like a real eighteen year old? 】

The puffy round-faced owl struggled to fly out of his hand, landed on the ground and transformed into Flora Winslet in a dress.

Neither Miss Bell nor Miss Danister was here. The witch smoothed her hair with her hands, and then said to Shade:

"Charlotte told me everything! You actually know how to lock! Do you know that even in the parliament, there are only three witches who know how to lock? Among them is the Speaker!"

One of the remaining two is Vanessa, the witch of the earth. I don’t know what her [Mystery Lock - The Golden Stage of Acura Glory] will look like after being promoted to the thirteenth level.

But obviously, Miss Artist's dissatisfaction today is not because Shade never mentioned that she would be obsessed with locks, but because——

"If you say in advance that you want to use the Mystery Lock, I will follow you in the afternoon!"

Although she was "complaining" about Shade, it was more like she was sulking at herself.

"But I didn't expect to use the Mystery Lock this afternoon. It was Sister Devlin's suggestion."

Shade explained, but it seemed that the witch did not associate Shade with the Godcaller based on the "bell tower". After all, the most striking feature when fused with the nun was the "sea of ​​fire".

"I have always wanted to use the environments and scenes in the mystery lock that are very different from the real world to expand my painting skills and ideas. Next time you show it to me, I also want to see what's going on inside the flame mystery lock."

"But I only have eight rings, and the mystery lock can't be opened just by wanting to. Besides, the characteristics of the mystery lock have nothing to do with flames."

Shade shook his head, and the witch with her long gray-black hair beautifully styled took a step closer:

"Then can you reveal the true characteristics of that mysterious lock?"

Shade thought about it and felt that this was not impossible to say:

"Do you know the fairy tale - Lovers in the Bell Tower? It's a fairy tale in which soldiers are recruited, lovers wait in their hometown, and finally the two bodies merge into one. So why is this story considered a fairy tale?"

"Of course I know that. Huh?"

She took a step back and looked at Shade up and down in surprise. Shade nodded:

"Yes, it's just like you thought: Mystery Locks - Lovers in the Clock Tower."

"I knew that your relationship with Sister Devlin was definitely not as simple as you said!"

"Why are your and Miss Denister's concerns so strange?"

She was indeed angry that she missed the "big scene" this afternoon, but she also knew that it was not Shade's fault, so she remained depressed until the group was about to set off to the Golden Music Hall.
