Chapter 2642 The Nun of the Fifth Epoch

Realizing that the destination was about to be reached, Shade looked ahead more carefully. The thick white fog completely blocked his sight, but gradually, he still saw the familiar glow of the dark moon.

The moon half-sunken in the water in the distance became clearer and clearer behind the thick fog, and even Ms. Brock noticed it.

So the two stood up together and watched the fog around them become lighter and lighter. Until unknowingly, there were many pure white souls standing on the water around the boat, and at this time, the dark moon had already illuminated them in this dark water.

Silent and silent, this is the end of everything, the place where the soul should go after death.

The last time Shade appeared here was when he was on the verge of death in the Battle of Moon Bay. At that time, Detective Sparrow, "The Chosen One of Darkness" Ivan Darkness, Hela Osenfurt, the female knight of the Fifth Epoch, Miss Knight, and the mother and daughter of the little black cat were all here to greet him, but he did not see any familiar people at this time.

The boat slid forward slowly for a distance and then stopped completely. Under the dark moon, they all seemed to be dyed silver, but no shadows were left on the boat. Ms. Brock held her breath and watched this scene. Perhaps because of the protection of this small boat, they did not feel uncomfortable here.

Shade gave her time to sense everything around her, lowered his head and touched the cat looking at the dark moon, and then handed the mithril eye mask to the witch. She took it hesitantly, but did not call out immediately:

"You said, should I really disturb my sister's peace after death?"

The silence at this moment made her hesitate.

"We are all here, do you really want to think about this now?"

Shade raised his eyebrows, so the thirteenth-level witch nodded gently, and then widened her eyes and looked down at the familiar eye mask. She gently stroked the complicated patterns on the surface of the eye mask, then raised it and shouted to the dark moon:

"Sister! Jessica Bullock!"

She really summoned up her strength to call there, but the sound was still not loud.

The two and the well-behaved cat all observed the surroundings, but no soul turned back after the call. Ms. Bullock waited for a while, then lowered her head a little lonely. But Shade's hand reached out from the side and took the eye mask back:

"Maybe someone with the power of the first fire needs to do this-Ms. Jessica Bullock, are you here?"

He also raised the eye mask high in front of the dark moon, and the sound he summoned up was much louder than the witch's shout just now, even if he did not use the "Magic-Dragon Roar" to amplify it.

The light of the dark moon seemed to become brighter, and the eye mask under the moonlight seemed to light up. The 13th-level witch, who was watching the surroundings with the last hope, saw a figure suddenly stop among the souls heading towards the Dark Moon.

The dress of that figure was so familiar to Shade and the witch. It seemed that the gray-black nun robe was a popular style since the Fifth Era. She also had long gray hair, and the bright red embers at the ends of her long hair made her look different from other souls.

The soul turned around, and Ms. Bullock covered her mouth and trembled all over. The nun who looked to be in her thirties and looked five points similar to Ms. Bullock went against the other souls and walked towards the boat under the Dark Moon.

The water surface was rippling with ripples every time she landed, and Shade noticed that the arms and clothes of the spirit of "Sister Bullock" also had burn marks.

"Sister!"

The witch wanted to jump off the boat to meet them, but was hurriedly pulled by Shade:

"You are crazy, do you think you can stand on the water?"

And the nun who was walking towards them stopped at a distance from the boat.

Her spirit did not wear an eye mask on her face, but a circle of black gauze. Her temperament was slightly different from Sister Defulin but very similar. If Sister Defulin was a scarred ice block, then this lady was like a fragile snowflake that was about to melt.

Shade could feel that she was looking at the two people on the boat, or more accurately, she was looking at herself. After a moment of silence, the nun did not open her mouth, and a gentle and cold voice automatically appeared in Shade's ears:

"Hero of the Fire, do you need my help with anything?"

The voice seemed to have an echo, and the language she used in the middle of the Fifth Era sounded more ancient than the grammar used by Miss Bullock and Mr. Nelson.

Xia De explained awkwardly:

"I don't need any help for now. Your sister wants to see you. I'm just leading the way for her."

The nun with a black veil in front of her eyes "looked" at her sister, and the two sisters looked at each other in silence. The nun's soul was expressionless, and the witch's face was full of nostalgia and a little sadness:

"Sister, why do you want to lie to me that you will wait for me in death before you die?"

??????????.??????

The souls around them who could not see their faces spontaneously bypassed the location of the boat. The tall boatman at the stern also stood there motionless with his oars in his hand. Xia De took Mia back a few steps to give them time.

The cat is not afraid of this place at all. It seems that Xia De has brought it here several times.

"If it weren't for the help of this gentleman, I wouldn't even have the chance to see you again. I don't hate you for lying to me and finding the first flame that burned you, but I hate you for lying to me until the end!"

She was crying while speaking. Even though she was a 13th-level witch, she was still like a little girl in front of her "sister".

"I have lied to you many times."

The nun replied calmly:

"Before the old nun who took me away took me away, she had already told me all the consequences of choosing this path, but in order for you to be able to concentrate on your witch studies, I didn't tell you these."

The tearful witch looked up at her sister in shock. She always thought that her sister knew what she was going to do after being taken away by the old nun.

"From that time on, I have already decided to keep deceiving you. I have chosen a fate that cannot be changed, so there is no need for you to know everything. But if you can detect those lies yourself, it means your own ability."

She seemed to have already thought about how to face her sister's questioning:

"Before I died, I knew that you and I would not be able to meet after death because of the special nature of my soul. At that time, you were sad because you found the flame and caused my death. Should I tell you at that time that we would not have the chance to meet even after death?"

The extremely calm tone of her voice made the witch feel helpless. More heartbreaking sentences:

"Ania Bullock, I only care about two things in my life. One is you, and the other is fire.

For you, I gave myself to fire; for fire, I deceived you. If you need my apology, I can apologize to you now, but don't punish yourself for these things, don't live for me."

"But you live for me!"

The two sisters looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds:

"Because I am your sister."

The witch couldn't help but cover her face and cry. She even squatted down on the boat because she couldn't stand steadily.

The crying lady thought of everything since her parents died, the two sisters' dependence on each other as children, the separation in their girlhood, the little connections in their youth, and the mutual dependence after each of them had their life goals.

While crying, she suddenly felt that the light of the silver moon in front of her was a little dim. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and found that the nun with her back to the moon had walked to the front of the boat.

The witch stood up at once, and the two sisters hugged each other tightly at the bow.

"So, some things can be solved if they are talked out."

Shad hugged Mia and watched this scene with satisfaction. Although the story of this witch seemed unrelated to his mission "Waiting for the departing with mortals", Shad was still very happy to see this story and contribute to its resolution.

The two sisters who were hugging each other soon separated in front of the dark moon. The nun still stood in front of the bow, while Ms. Bullock wiped her tears and her voice sounded much more normal:

"Sister, before I die, I will definitely find a way to see you again after death. I will sit on the seat of the great witch of death, and I will do everything I can to achieve my goal. You have been doing this for me all your life, and I must hold your hand after I die."

A faint smile appeared on the face of the serene nun. She did not oppose her sister's idea, but turned to look at Shad again:

"Hero of the Fire."

"I'm here."

The witch temporarily stepped aside, and Shad came to the bow again. Seeing the nun extending her hand to him, Shade handed over the mithril eye mask under the moonlight. But the nun shook her head, and Shade hesitantly extended his hand again.

Sister Brock grabbed his hand, and after a moment's grasp, she asked:

"Has the First Flame of the Sixth Epoch weakened to this extent?"

Shade did not ask her how she knew the time she belonged to:

"This is already very strong. My fire-bearing nun has found a lot of firewood and the flames of the First Flame. She said that the dimming of the First Flame represents the weakening of the world, and no one can stop this."

Sister Brock nodded slightly, but still did not let go of Shade's hand. Then the red flame lit up again from the tightly clasped hands of the two, and some of the power from the soul was shared with Shade. Mia then wanted to put her claws on their hands, but was stopped by Shade's left hand.

The fire-bearing nun of the Fifth Epoch bowed slightly to him:

"Please touch my darkness. Even if I didn't meet a hero who could bear the fire when I was alive, I am also a fire-bearing nun after all."
