Whispering Verse

Chapter 2901 The Sixteen-Year-Old Witch

Miss Bell, who looked particularly pale early in the morning, followed Flora's instructions to do things. After the girls dispersed, Shade and Miss Danister also walked into the bedroom of the suite.

There was a very fresh floral scent in Vanessa's bedroom, but because it was only a temporary residence, the furnishings in this room were the same as those in Shade's room next door.

At this time, the curtains in the room were closed, blocking the gloomy morning from the outside. Luvia and Sylvia were standing on the left and right of the bed, while Vanessa hid herself in the quilt.

However, when Shade came over, the black-haired young witch took the initiative to lift the quilt.

Vanessa in the quilt wanted to fight her but obviously failed, so Shade and Miss Danister saw the blonde girl who looked more than 1.5 meters tall, with long hair down to her waist, wearing an ill-fitting nightgown, but whose height, figure and appearance had been severely reduced, looking at Shade with tears in her eyes.

But after just a glance, she buried her head under the pillow like an ostrich:

"Shad, don't look at me!"

Then she pulled the quilt that Sylvia had opened and covered herself and the pillow with it.

"This"

"Like me, has your age been reduced?"

The red-haired girl was quite interested in this, but Shad shook her head immediately:

"It's definitely not a time curse, I'm sure of that. And although it looks smaller, Vanessa is still thirteen rings now."

"I haven't traveled through time! I've also used the 'Proof of Time' ritual!"

The muffled voice in the quilt also agreed with Shad's opinion, so she didn't speak in a shrill voice just now, but her voice really changed. The overly young face just now still showed the peerless grace of Vanessa when she grew up. At this time, she was probably not even sixteen years old.

"The power has not declined, and she has not been cursed, but she has become so much younger all of a sudden. Why does this kind of good thing always happen to other people around me?"

Miss Owl was still complaining quietly, while Sylvia smiled and didn't comment.

Luvia also smiled, but she did not forget to remind him:

"It seems that there is a whispering element, but our perception is not very certain."

She signaled Shade to check it out by himself. Shade did not care about anything else at the moment, and directly put his hand into the quilt. Fortunately, Vanessa did not resist, but took the initiative to hold his hand with her little hand.

After waiting for a while:

"Yes, the whispering element. Vanessa, where did you go in the woods yesterday?"

It was too early at this time, and the witches on the Shining Messenger had not gotten up. Miss Bell went to the ship to find Miss Elisabeth first, and then went to find Xiwei, Grandma Cassandra and Jialina one by one. Fortunately, they were all normal.

Or in other words, except for Vanessa, everyone in the Vesta region who belonged to the "Shade-Witch Force" was normal.

For the changes in themselves, the witches of the earth were obviously a little bit unacceptable for a while. However, after everyone's consolation, she still described what happened to her in bits and pieces:

"At least when I was resting last night, I didn't feel anything unusual. Because I know that this city is not safe and something could happen at any time, I slept very lightly. When I turned over in a daze this morning, I felt that my skirt was too loose, and then I noticed something unusual."

She sat on the bed covered with a quilt, still wearing the overly loose nightgown. After all, even Shade would not have clothes that fit her current body shape:

"The other me didn't notice anything happened last night, but she reminded me that I had a dream last night, dreaming about things when I was thirteen or fourteen years old."

The 1.5-meter-tall Vanessa sniffed, her long golden hair draped over her shoulders and piled up on the sheets, making her look like a princess in a fairy tale. Main character:

"That's definitely not normal. I've never dreamed about that time in all these years. My girlhood was ordinary, so it shouldn't be such a coincidence that I appeared in my dream last night."

"Dream? But it's still hard to tell what it means."

Luvia shook her head and made a suggestion:

"Although you are completely normal except that your body has become too young, this is definitely not a good thing. Why don't you go to your council and ask sisters Megan and Audrey.

Although Miss Danister and Mother-in-law Cassandra can't tell what's wrong with you, Edwards is the great witch of knowledge and wisdom, and they have the most knowledge about relics."

"No, I don't want more people to know about my current situation!"

Vanessa shook her head vigorously. Strangely enough, although her body shrank to the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, her long hair didn't change at all.

"I understand your feelings."

Miss Owl then echoed:

"When Danister and I were cursed at the beginning, we didn't want more people to know."

The red-haired girl was now thankful that although she had become younger, she was at least eighteen years old.

It turned out that what happened to Vanessa was not an isolated case. At seven o'clock in the morning, Miss Danister received an urgent message from the forest, and the church also shared the latest information with the witches at breakfast time around eight o'clock.

This "age anomaly" phenomenon also appeared in the circle magician groups of the church and the academy, but the number was very small and they all had common characteristics:

"The victims this time are all thirteen-ring warlocks and twelve-ring warlocks. Except for the paladin from the past, the ages of all the thirteen-ring warlocks in the Vesta Grove are abnormal. , yes, all.”

"It seems that Hermons the Bloodweeper is here too."

Shade mentioned in passing, but Miss Denister asked him not to interrupt:

"Only a very small part of the Twelve Rings have problems. All the victims have experienced age regression just like Miss Vanessa Benanis. There are no cases of abnormal age growth, and the ages after regression are all distributed in the Between the ages of ten and sixteen, I haven't seen any regularity yet.

In addition, except for the physical changes caused by age changes, the affected ring warlocks this time are also normal in other aspects. "

Miss Denister sat on the sofa and summarized the current situation to everyone. The Thirteen Rings of the church and college discovered the problem around six o'clock this morning, which was consistent with Vanessa.

As the Thirteenth Ring of St. Byrons, the "Red Moon Witch" should naturally be affected, and Miss Danister's response this morning was "I am sixteen years old now":

"The Sky Blade is not affected, probably because he, as a person summoned by the War of Time, is protected from such time effects by the power of the Tree Father. Those very few twelve rings that are affected The warlocks are all those who have been promoted to the twelfth ring many years ago and are only one chance away from being promoted to the thirteenth ring.”

The twelfth-level witch Xiwei didn't know whether she should be happy or unhappy at this time.

"So, it is basically certain that this attack is targeting ring warlocks of a specific level. Fortunately for us, the church is in chaos. Even if the power is not affected, this time it is still all thirteen ring warlocks in the area. Influenced by relics.”

"Then what kind of relic is it?"

Shade asked her, but couldn't get an answer.

In the currently known records, there has never been such a time relic specifically targeted at thirteen-ring warlocks. Considering that the last [Dream Tree] also had time characteristics due to sleeping insects, there is a high probability that this time it is still a relic that has nothing to do with time and has been given new power.

The church and the academy are looking for relics that also have the characteristics of "affecting a specific level" and "dream". However, because this relic may belong to any dangerous level, or may even be just a derivative of the relic, it is quite difficult to find it.

Therefore, although Vanessa wanted to change back immediately, and even wanted Shade to use the mythical lock used in the Battle of Moon Bay to accelerate time and return her directly to her original age, her thoughts were only thoughts in the end:

"This is just regressing the age, not keeping the age constant. So thinking on the bright side, even if the matter cannot be solved, in three years I will be a real eighteen-year-old young girl. I still have to wait three years."

She said and looked at Shade rather sadly. Only Luvia and Dorothy present knew what she meant - Carina was still bedridden.

"When the witches examined Vanessa just now, they didn't say that she was no longer a pure girl."

When everyone was comforting Vanessa, Luvia whispered to Shade from the side. Shade looked at her in surprise:

"Even if she is still pure now, I can't do it to her. She is only fifteen years old."

The fortune teller girl slapped him angrily:

"What are you thinking about? I mean, she also meets the requirements of the devil summoning ceremony now, doesn't she? A pure girl under the age of 25."

Although once the "Watcher" or the black dragon "Kingsley" appears, the high-level warlocks must attack together as children, at least the human power of the Vesta Grove has not been damaged due to this relic accident.

Therefore, Shade's plan continued on this Monday, except that it was no longer Vanessa but Sivi who led the team to the woods to find the dragon beast's lair. And Vanessa was finally invited by Luvia to participate in Shade's "Devil Calling" ceremony.

The four "pure girls under the age of 25" required for this ceremony include, in addition to Vanessa, Miss Swift, Little Miss Aurora and Miss Bell. The three witch apprentices are all of the right age.

However, although he did not need the help of Siris of Tobesk, Shade still asked Lesia to write her a letter to inform her of what was going on here. Although Vanessa has turned fifteen and can still take care of herself, Shade hopes that Sirius can come to visit her, and Vanessa is really devastated.
