Chapter 2634 Dream of the Moon Dance Festival

Fortunately, Shade never thought about taking the church’s job:

"It's good that your mother is fine. The situation was very chaotic and it was difficult for me to take care of her during the final battle."

Thinking of the many rumors about the Battle of Moon Bay, thinking of the strange celestial phenomena that repeatedly switched between day and night that day, and thinking of the terrifying scenes of the rumored battle of the Five Gods, Eric Fulan forced a smile:

"Are Megan and Aunt Audrey okay too?"

"It's okay, but they have been busy with other things recently and have not followed me to Vista City, but they might come in a while. I won't say anything about the lady sitting next to me."

Any further talk would involve Miss Winslet, and Shade didn't want to expose her secret.

Eric Folan also wisely avoided this topic and asked instead:

"Do you have something to do when you come here? Do you need our help?"

"I don't need help at the moment. Do you know the young yellow-haired second lieutenant sitting in the fifth row behind you?"

Although he didn’t pay special attention to it, he was a ring warlock after all, and he had been promoted to the sixth ring after the Green Lake incident. Eric Foran recalled it and nodded:

"Meet, York Bronte. His father, Baron Bronte, served as a staff officer in the First Army Corps. Although his status was not particularly high, he was very popular because of his generous spending.

The Bronte family is also a traditional aristocrat from Ximu Town, sorry, Vista City. York Brontë, the second son, had grown up in Willendale rather than in Vista, and had only been arranged by the baron to enter the army the previous year. "

"He's also from Ximu Town. What's his reputation like?"

Shade asked curiously, and Eric Folan thought for a while:

"In the eyes of outsiders, he probably has a bright future. Although the family title is destined to be passed on to his eldest brother, his development in the army will not be hindered by his father's arrangements. This man is extremely generous, or he doesn't care much about money. He is a frequent visitor to the Rhodes Casino and hears about his private life."

After speaking, he shook his head:

"Of course, this is just a rumor. Charles and I have no interaction with him. We only heard friends talking about him. What, is there something wrong with this person?"

"No, I'm just curious. But there may be something wrong with Ximu Town."

Eric Folan blinked and moved closer to Shade:

"This question refers to"

"If you two brothers are here just for the concert, you'd better leave immediately. Listen to me, if you two don't want to get involved in big events like Green Lake and Moon Bay, run as fast as possible."

The aristocratic young man from Willondale took a deep breath, thinking that he might as well leave with his younger brother now.

The two didn't talk in the corridor for too long, and went back before the solo "Starry Night Aria" ended. It seems that this should be the last time the Fulen brothers and Shade meet this autumn. They know how serious Shade's description is.

Miss Denister didn't ask what Shade had done. She waited until the intermission and people started talking before saying:

"It's hard to finish one thing. Let's go out and listen to the concert together. Don't be busy with other things."

Shade stood up from the comfortable seat:

"Just catching up with relatives."

Upon hearing the word "relatives", Miss Winslet immediately looked at them, but the red-haired girl shook her finger and said:

"I've seen your background check. Where are your relatives from?"

Then he thought of the beautiful girls around Shade, and then raised his eyebrows:

"I understand, if that's the case, you do have a lot of relatives."

Then she deliberately ended the topic without explaining to the witch beside her what she had said.

During the twenty minutes between concerts Shade did nothing else, not even leaving his seat. However, he did talk to Miss Bell about the card [Carsonlik Southern Folklore·Moondance Festival], and then talked about the origin of that card:

"Last summer I received a commission from Greta Watson. She found the body of her husband who had been missing for thirty years behind a large hole in her basement."

He told the story of an old lady who drunkenly killed her cheating husband, but her brother took the initiative to destroy the evidence and surrendered to the police in order to cover up his sister's crime. When the bones were discovered behind the basement wall many years later, even his brother who had been released from prison had been dead for ten years.

At the funeral where the thirty-year-old skeleton was buried last summer, Shade saw the souls of his "husband" Mr. Watson and his "brother" Mr. Mason. After attending the funeral with them, he stayed with them. That rainy afternoon, I played the final game of Rhodes under the trees in the cemetery.

"Soul's Blessing allows me to draw this card in any situation, but unfortunately it only lasts for one year and is now invalid."

He handed the cards to Miss Bell. The young brunette standing on the red carpet in the aisle looked very excited:

"Sure enough, just like everyone said, every card of a legendary player is also a legend!"

"This story sounds familiar. Is it adapted into the story of Miss Louisa?"

Miss Winslet, who was also standing next to Shade's chair and talking, asked, and Shade nodded:

"Yes, it's the chapter at the beginning of the detective story collection. But compared to the sentimental and regretful story in the rain that I experienced myself, the story she adapted has more suspense and horror.

After all, detective novels require detectives to discover the truth themselves, rather than directly asking ghosts."

"That Miss Louisa is lucky. Speaking of which, Miss Louisa is yours."

"I won't reveal other people's privacy."

Shad shook his head and refused. The witch didn't care. She guessed that it must not be a serious relationship, but she thought about whether Carina would discipline this handsome man. She knew how attractive he was.

After the break, the performance continued. The second half started with the dance "Silver Fantasy". For some reason, Shad, who was tired again, yawned quietly.

Because it was a performance dance, the lights were turned off this time. The dim light once again aggravated his sleepiness.

As the dancers came on stage one after another, the red-haired girl next to him noticed that Shad's head was slightly lowered and his eyes were closed.

This reminded her of those students who stayed up late to read novels at night, and didn't get the potion to wake up before class the next day, and ended up being drowsy during the morning class. But Shade was different from the naughty young people in the academy, and of course he would not be punished to copy books or clean the library.

She wanted to wake him up again, but when she thought of his constant running around and that he had to accompany them to the concert during his rest time at night, she pursed her lips and showed a somewhat pitying expression:

"Go to sleep, have a good dream."

With the classical music of "Silver Fantasy", Shade, who finally fell into a dream in his tiredness, completely broke off the connection with the real world.

All the strangeness since tonight disappeared without a trace as he closed his eyes. Shade, whose mind was in chaos, only felt that he seemed to be being pulled towards an unknown and distant place.

He soon realized that he was dreaming, but he had no intention of breaking free from this wonderful feeling.

So when his feet stepped on the ground, the endless wilderness under the vast sea of ​​stars in his dream appeared again. Standing on the ridge of the field and looking at the silver moon, Xia De was in a trance because music sounded in this dream.

It was not the "Silver Fantasy" in the real world or the "Autumn Rhapsody" later, but an ancient, desolate but sacred dance music.

He retracted his gaze on the silver moon and followed the sound of music in the wilderness. It's not that he had not explored this dream in the past, but only when the "God of Bloodsucking" entered the dream did he encounter a different scenery.

And this time, chasing the sound of music, maybe just a few minutes, maybe after a long time, there was a faint fire in the wilderness under the sea of ​​stars. And what Xia De saw when he walked over was tens of thousands of people in robes, dancing around the huge bonfire under the moon.

In the wilderness under the moonlight, there suddenly appeared an open-air sacrificial site, which was as old as the "Dragon Feast Sacrificial Site", but more complete, as if Xia De had returned to the original era.

The silver-white stone carved out all the runes, statues, stone carvings and steps and stone pillars of the sacrificial field. The silver flames burning on the huge altar in the center, together with the silver moon, dyed the people who were offering sacrifices and dancing to the moon silver-white.

Xia De found that he had unknowingly walked to the periphery of the magnificent sacrificial field. Then, at some point, the people who were dancing, kneeling and praying made way for him to pass through a passage to the center of the sacrificial field.

No one deliberately paid attention to Xia De. When Xia De moved towards the center of the magnificent sacrificial field, no one bumped into or looked at him.

The miracle elements at this moment seemed to rise and fall with the ancient dance music. The runes lit up in the sacrificial field were gradually building the elements and spirits generated in this grand sacrifice into a part of a larger ceremony.

Crossing the crowd, climbing the steps, crossing the glowing stone pillars, and crossing the edge of the shadow jumping due to the shaking of the silver fire, there were only a few people in the center of the sacrificial field.

But before Xia De could identify the ancient poems written in full on the stone slabs under his feet, and before Xia De could feel the temperature of the strange silver flame, six girls dressed in cool clothes and wearing silver ornaments came over.

They touched Xia De with laughter, and took Xia De's hand to dance with Xia De to the sacrificial dance music. But Xia De instinctively rejected them politely, so the girls left again with regret.

He stood in front of the altar and looked up at the moon again. With the silver moon as the center, the deep starry sky seemed to have constructed a figure with a halo and a silver-blue hood.

He stared at this scene in a daze, and the silver fire burning on the huge altar in front of him suddenly burst into the night sky.
