Whispering Verse

Chapter 2977 “Picnic” and Conflict

Too much time has passed. If we could really find clues from more than thirty years ago with our eyes, the child of that year would have been recovered long ago. Using the ring magician's perception to search, Shade and Miss Olanode could not find anything else except a big tree that was inexplicably full of vitality even in spring.

"Many big trees have revived in the forest recently. Some trees have grown to hundreds of meters in height. This tree will probably become like that tonight or tomorrow night."

Shade judged, but this had nothing to do with the purpose of their trip.

It was still early at this time, and since Luvia asked Shade to stay here until three o'clock, Shade had no intention of leaving this area.

He touched the cat on his shoulder. After confirming that the cat was in good health and not affected by the current sub-zero temperature, he said to the witch beside him:

"Let's just keep waiting here. I guess something will happen in a while."

Miss Olanold set up detection methods everywhere she just walked, and Shade threw a small piece of gold, so the camp appeared in the snow.

The moon's illusion perfectly hid the camp, and the two sat down on the cushions in front of the campfire. Then Shade rummaged through and found an emerald, and a moment later a sumptuous and steaming afternoon tea was served.

Little Mia probably felt that it was right to go out with Shad this time, and after Miss Olanold picked up the waffles, she smiled and said to Shad:

"I didn't expect that when I come here, I can still taste the familiar craftsmanship."

"I've always been curious, how did Fiona and the others do it?"

"Shade, there are some things you are not allowed to ask, such as the girls' ages."

She said with a smile and brought the muffin to Shade. After Shade took a bite, she took the muffin back and took a bite herself:

"This trip came because of the war of time. I don't know how long I can stay here. It's incredible when I think about it. Yesterday at this time, I was standing in the garden behind the astrology tower of the college saying goodbye to the teacher, but now I am Have afternoon tea with you in the snow.”

She whispered:

"The teachers will also envy me."

Shade, who was feeding the cat, asked:

"Would you stay if I could find a way for you to stay a little longer?"

"Of course I do."

The gentle lady with yellow hair said, and then asked:

"What can you do?"

"There is nothing I can do for the time being, but if I can really successfully resolve the matter in the Vista Grove, I mean resolve it satisfactorily, I should be able to make a request to the Tree Father."

He himself is not sure, but he will definitely do it if he has the chance.

"The ancient gods favor you very much, Shade."

"Yes, sometimes I don't even understand the reason for this preference."

"She" chuckled in her ears, because Brienne Olanold had tilted her head slightly and rested her head on Shade's shoulder. Both of them were holding porcelain tea cups and watching the sun slanting above the silver-white forest.

"Xia De~"

"I am here."

The tea cup was thrown directly onto the snow, and the brown black tea was dyed yellow with silvery white frost. Gentle red lips pressed up, followed immediately by a passionate hug and the cat's dissatisfied cry because it was almost hit by the teacup in Shade's hand.

She hugged him, hugging him whom she had missed for many years but could not reach. The yellow moon admired the silver moon, and even more admired that person. No amount of words can express her longing for him when she looks at the moon, and no amount of questions can express her longing for him.

The white snow is proof, and the blood on the bitten lip is testimony. Every breath she takes expresses the passion of the moment, and every touch she takes reveals the peace she seeks in her heart.

The yellow moon was deeply imprinted in the stranger's heart. Her eyes were always looking at him, and they were a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes. He saw the moon in those eyes, he saw him in those eyes.

If this place were not in the snow of the forest, Shade actually doubted what Miss Olanold would do at this time. The passionate kiss lasted for a long time, and then Shade felt as if the person he was holding suddenly became Lesia - this is definitely not a derogatory description.

Miss Feliana and Fiona came together in the summer. The passionate dragon maid had the courage to walk into Shade's room at night to let him know the softness of the tail. So as Fiona Drago's teacher, Of course, Brienne Olanold would not lose to her students.

To be honest, such a gentle and intellectual lady suddenly turned into Lesia. This is of course a compliment.

Fortunately, although Shade failed the test of "temperance" in the fairy tale, at least he still remembered what he was doing. Therefore, he controlled himself a little and did not do anything particularly indecent.

【Yeah? 】

"I mean 'particularly' indecent."

Shade emphasized, gently stroking Miss Olanode's hair with his hand:

"Also, didn't we agree not to do it at this time?"

As for little Mia, Shade used his Rhodes deck to build a temporary covered cat nest for her with the opening facing the campfire. There was also a small cake in front of the opening that the cat could eat with its head. Now the cat should be sleeping soundly facing the flames. Faced with this situation, Shade also had the emotion expressed by Miss Olanode just now:

"Almost 24 hours ago, I was still struggling to hold on in front of the doomsday crack. I didn't expect that it would turn out like this one day later."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the cat, who had been lying quietly in front of the fire, suddenly stood up, knocking off the Rhodes cards on his head.

The cat stood up and looked around in the deck of cards, so Miss Orlanod, who was leaning on Shade's chest and crossing her fingers with him by the fire, also indicated that something seemed to be happening around Shade.

Although it was difficult to compare directly with the cat, the two of them, as a ringmaster and a witch, had very strong perceptions. Calmly perceive the surrounding environment, and the sound of the wind seemed to be a little wrong.

They stood up together, and Shade did not forget to control the card to carry the cat into his pocket:

"Strange, why is it a miracle element?"

"If it is a miracle element, it is not strange."

The witch, whose cheeks were fading, pointed to the direction of the temple:

"Maybe something happened there. The disappearance of the child back then, could it be related to that temple? But the God of Hunters should be a good god."

The rippling miracle element was not strong, but considering that the location of the camp was far away from the ruins of the temple, there was indeed something extraordinary there.

From a distance, the changes in light and shadow could not be seen for the time being, and when Shade approached with the cat and Miss Orlanod, he unexpectedly found that the situation seemed different from what they imagined.

The remaining parts of the temple ruins were ground bricks and stones covered with snowflakes, two walls, four or five columns of varying lengths, and a small stone platform that could not see its function. But these things did not show any abnormality, instead, three men with longbows were confronting the academy's ring magicians in the ruins of the temple.

The miraculous elements of the rippling came from the longbows they held. Those longbows were not particularly powerful divine items, but in the range of the ruins of the temple, they showed traces of elements far beyond the normal level.

The three men holding longbows were of course ring sorcerers. At this moment, the life rings appeared behind them. They were two five-ring and one six-ring. Although they were all middle-ring sorcerers, it was not particularly difficult for this team led by an eleven-ring professor.

The team of Zalas Academy of Literature had a total of eight people. No one had shown a life ring yet, probably because they didn't want the situation to escalate further.

"Those three people are believers of the old gods?"

Shade, who was hiding in the woods with illusions, was a little confused.

Although the two sides seemed to be on the verge of a fight, they were still communicating. The two people who had not appeared for the time being also understood the general situation.

The three people in the ruins were indeed believers of the old god "God of Hunters" who had long gone away. They didn't even come from afar because of the matter of Vesta Forest, but lived in this forest.

Although the ruins of the temple have been dilapidated to the present state, the three believers still keep the habit of coming here to pray regularly. When the three came here again this afternoon, they found that a strange ring wizard seemed to want to explore this place, so this conflict occurred.

It was really a coincidence. Fortunately, the ring wizards of Zala School of Literature were very reasonable. Although the ring wizards of the school were very strong, they did not force the three people to leave. After asking the cause and effect, the leader Professor Herman Hope apologized on behalf of the team and promised not to approach the ruins again:

"You may have heard about the news that something big is happening in the Vesta Forest. It is not easy for the old god faith to be passed down to this day. Are you willing to cooperate with us? We can help you repair this building."

"We will consider it later."

The six-ring wizard among the three bow-holding people said that he was dressed as a hunter, but not the hunting clothes of the nobles who went to the wild to hunt, but the clothes of the hunters who were really active in the forest for a long time. On a snowy winter day, all three wore light-colored clothes and white scarves on their heads:

"We just overreacted. Since you are a professor at the Zala School of Literature, we can trust your words."

He motioned to his two companions to put down their longbows:

"According to our tradition, if you are willing to share our prey with us, we can become friends later, and we will also consider repairing this temple."

He kicked the wild boar lying at his feet. Shade thought it was the sacrifice they were going to offer in this temple.

Professor Herman Hope nodded in agreement.

"Do the followers of the God of Hunting really have such a tradition?"

Shade asked the lady next to him telepathically. The yellow-haired witch was watching what was happening in the ruins with great interest:

"I don't remember such a tradition in our time. Let's wait a little longer. I have a feeling that something very interesting will happen next."
