Chapter 2976 A walk in the snow

When Luvia opened her eyes, the purple halo in her eyes was much thicker than when Shade first saw her using this special divination. She gave the answer:

"I can only confirm that at our current point in time, Anthony Winslet is not completely dead, but his state is very strange. I obviously got the answer about him, but I can't describe it.

But I know how you can find him, and asking Miss Winslet about his uncle's missing childhood friend will lead you to the answer. You have to stay in that 'missing place' until at least three o'clock in the afternoon, but this investigation may encounter surprises, so I suggest that you go with Miss Olanode and let her get used to the conditions of Vista Grove. combat environment. "

When Shade found Flora at the hotel and explained his plans for the afternoon investigation, Miss Owl initially wanted to go with her, but then gave up.

This was not because she learned about Miss Olanode's entourage, but because Carina asked her for help. Currently, the Council is still helping the [Crescent Moon Secret Order] to search locally for things left behind by the leader of the Fifth Era. Now Carina needs Flora, who is proficient in transformation, to do something. This time she is really needed. Can.

Of course Miss Olanold didn't mind going out with Shade, so they left the ship after getting information from the reluctant Flora.

It is worth mentioning that little Mia was originally supposed to find a place to take a nap on the boat where she could bask in the sun, but somehow she ended up with Shade again today. By the time Shade found it resting peacefully on his shoulder, he had already entered the silver-white forest with Miss Olanode.

The snow that fell yesterday has almost completely melted in the city. After all, it is only the beginning of winter, but there is still snow everywhere in the forest. The two sets of footprints walked closely together, and their hands were held together.

"Teacher Feliana, Fiona, and Emilia all described your life to me, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt that it was very different from what they said."

The yellow-haired witch smiled and said to Shade. At this time, the silhouette of the big ship was covered by the forest, and the soft snow made a rhythmic sound when stepped on.

"Isn't their description correct?"

"Of course, but everyone has their own focus of description. Teacher Feilianna is concerned about your life, Fiona told me about your family's situation, and Amelia is keen to tell us your adventure stories."

She gently swayed her left arm, causing Shade's right arm to also sway slightly:

"You know what I care about more, Shade?"

"How many girls are there with me?"

Then Miss Olanold smiled tenderly. As an elf hybrid, she has both the elegance of an elf and the gentleness of a human girl:

"I know what you are worried about, but in fact, compared with the Witch Emperor of our time, what you did is not too much. Of course, at that time, even the most powerful Witch Emperor would not think of More than half of the witches in the entire council have become our own.”

She gently squeezed Shade's hand and expressed her feelings without hesitation:

"You know, we didn't really spend much time together before this. Sometimes when I'm walking through the corridors of the college, I wonder, do I really know you?"

Shade turned to look at her:

"Now you want to get to know me again and then review our relationship?"

"What are you talking about?"

The force of squeezing Xia De's hand became slightly stronger:

"When I came to your time, when I saw you again, I understood you completely and completely. Shade, I really envy Denise Gustave, and I envy her that she can be in such a capacity Living in the same era as you.”

"I have been looking for a way for you to come to me after your respective missions and tasks in the Fifth Era."

The witch's lips curved into a smile, and her arms swung wider:

"Tell me honestly, Shade, what do you think of Denister Gustave? I talked to her very late last night. I originally wanted to know more about you from her, but I didn't Her thoughts were heard in her words.”

"What did she think?"

"You answer my questions first, and then I'll tell you."

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Shade, who could only admit in a low voice:

"I have a crush on Miss Denister."

"Is it just a good impression?"

"I like it."

"If you like it, you have to admit it, Shade, just like the girls around you should understand that those who start late can't even grab the scum. And you who are favored by us, don't let us wait too long."

In the end, she didn't tell Shade what Miss Danist was thinking. But Shade understood what she meant, so he squeezed her hand gently, and the two continued to walk forward.

"Meow~"

The cat thinks these two are boring.

Flora's uncle Anthony Winslet's friend was also from a noble family, but he was not a native of Brookwood Town. He was also a noble family from Willondale, but his family background was not as strong as the Winslet family.

The other party disappeared in 1819, when they were 11 and 12 years old respectively, and both followed their parents to Ximu Town. Children always love adventure, not to mention those who live in cities are even more curious about what the forest looks like.

In the winter of 1819, the two entered the forest without telling the adults at home. When the adults found out that the child was missing, it was already evening of that day.

Earl Winslet and Viscount Fuller mobilized almost everyone to search, and the Earl even persuaded the soldiers in the two military camps of "Duskwood Post" and "Aronson River Camp" to help find people as guides.

At dawn, the hunter's hound found Anthony Winslet, who was frozen to death in the snow, but the 11-year-old boy Sheldon Fuller never appeared again.

This incident was also a sensation at the time. Anthony Winslet, who woke up, only remembered that they got lost in the forest, and then it became colder and colder until he fainted.

Today, people generally believe that the lost boy may have encountered a wild wolf foraging in winter, or fell into an inconspicuous cave in the forest. Anyway, there is no definite conclusion to this matter. Flora was not born at that time. When Shade was looking for a pure girl under 25 years old, she learned that she was just 26 years old this year. All the things about her uncle were investigated by her before she went to the local area to find someone.

Anthony Winslet, who disappeared ten years ago, did not take much with him before leaving home, so his diary and private letters were preserved, which led to these clues.

The last trace left by this "uncle" was the boat ticket from Willendal City to Vista City that he asked someone to buy. It was this that made Flora come to the local area to find someone.

The approximate range of the boy's disappearance more than 30 years ago has been marked on the map by Flora. In the past two months, when the owl was free, he also flew to this area to survey, but unfortunately nothing was found.

But since Luvia's divination guided Shade to come here again, Shade believed that he would definitely gain something today.

"Mia, since we've followed you out, remember to remind me if you find anything suspicious later."

"Meow~"

There are several small marks representing "broken ruins" on the hermits' map within the missing area, which means that although there are ancient buildings nearby, they are no longer effective.

Shad thought this would not affect the subsequent investigation, but when he approached that area, he found large patches of footprints on the ground.

Miss Orlanod signaled Shad to be silent, and then she released a yellow ball of light into the snow, and soon told Shad the result:

"It was the academy ring magicians of this era who were investigating the nearby ruins."

Her finger pointed to the map that Shad unfolded, and the map marked a small temple of the old god [Hunting Lady] there.

"He's probably trying to repair it. Let's avoid it."

Shad suggested, and Miss Orlanod nodded slightly, then asked Shad again:

"How much do you know about the old god [Hunting Lady]?"

The tone was a bit like a teacher testing a student, so Shad answered more seriously while taking a detour to the left with her:

"This god has the power of hunting, and people believe that believing in him can bring good luck in archery. He is the protector of hunters running in the woods, and usually appears as a woman in myths and religious texts."

"I don't know if the knowledge circulating in your era is wrong, or you haven't studied hard."

The witch smiled and corrected:

"It's not the 'protector of hunters running in the woods', but the 'protector of hunters running in the woods under the moon'. I have dealt with the believers of this god, and they In addition to being good at hunting, forests, and tracking, it also inherits some knowledge of the moon. "

"You mean."

"Yes, the power of the goddess of hunting should be related to both the tree father and the sage. "

Miss Orlannod explained to Shade:

"In order to go further, I tried to explore the traces left by the moon sage, but from the ancient mythological era to the time when I lived, no matter how many traces there were, they had been explored by our ancestors. Since there are no traces of the ancient gods, then go and find the traces of the old gods related to the moon sage.

I finally climbed the road to demigod with this method, but it's a pity that there is only one step left. As for dealing with the followers of [Ms. Hunting], it has even been two years. Emilia also learned good archery from them. "

Shade thought of the scene of the elves practicing arrows in the snow that he saw not long ago.

Miss Orlannod eliminated the footprints of the two people to prevent them from being noticed by other ring magicians who were active nearby. In the subsequent detailed search of the area, the two did not find any valuable traces.
