The Whispering Verses Chapter 1260: The promised farewell
Chapter 1260 The Promised Parting
Butterflies flew from the sky and landed on the round table. On the numerous empty seats, they transformed into beautiful girls wearing long dresses with the colors of butterfly wings. The girls also had wings on their backs. After appearing in the light, they either smiled and saluted the gods, or looked at the four of them shyly.
Mr. Lyman was shocked and tidied his hair with his hands nervously. Sister Perry and Ms. Bretchett were quite normal.
"Your wishes are just very simple things to me. Since you risked your lives to come here and hold a banquet, I am naturally willing to fulfill your wishes."
Now except for Shade who has six petals in hand, the other three people all have four petals in hand. In other words, everyone actually wins.
"I want final confirmation."
God looked at Shade:
"You have got the most petals. If you are willing, I can fulfill one of your wishes. Any wish, even if you want power, I can give it to you. So, do you really want to give up and give up your wish? Leave it to mortals?"
Ms. Bretchett, Sister Perry and Mr. Lyman all looked at Shade nervously. Shade just blinked and already had the answer:
"Your wish must be very precious to me, but I have made a promise-no matter who gets the most petals in the end, I cannot be counted as the winner. Since I once said it, now naturally Can’t go back on my word.”
The golden miraculous light bloomed on Sister Perry and Ms. Bretchett at this moment. The witch of the twelfth level officially entered the thirteenth level. Sister Perry's appearance suddenly became at least ten years younger. The witch's ladder appeared. Behind her, although there was only a short layer, it also meant that the path to transcendence was unfolding in front of her.
At the same time, probably because the power of the old **** [Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly] comes from the ancient **** [Mother Goddess of the Earth], the power of the "power of the earth" that Shade is very familiar with appears in both ladies.
The power of Sister Perry is undoubtedly the "power of the earth and the field of fertility", which was passed down to Luvia through her hand bones thousands of years later. As for Ms. Bleichett's power, Shade couldn't directly identify it, but fortunately, the ecstatic witch didn't mind telling Shade about her new abilities:
"The power of the earth and the memory of the earth. Listen to the whisper of the earth and gain strength from the people buried in the earth. At the same time, when encountering an abnormal land, consume the memories of the land you have absorbed and reverse the condition of the abnormal land. ."
This sounds very useful, but although it can also reverse the "Crazy Land", it is not a specifically targeted power like Shade's "healing aura", so Shade doesn't know exactly how.
Besides, this middle-aged witch is from the Fifth Era. Shade cannot guarantee that this power is still passed down in the Forsaken Order. After returning, he can ask Miss Lassers to find out.
He thought to himself and picked up the wine glass in front of him. God was looking at Mr. Lyman at this moment. God's gaze coupled with his own excitement made this gentleman tremble all over. He knew whether his dream could be realized only depended on what happened next.
"Mortal, if you want to win the favor of my dependents, you have to rely on yourself. I will not go against the wishes of the butterflies, so I will give you a chance. Those sitting at the table now are my dependents, This party will last for three days and three nights, and before leaving, you can try to win the heart of one of them. If you are charming enough to take away more than one, I will not stop you."
The girls chuckled in succession, and the crisp sound was even more beautiful than the music played in the sky. And this very mature gentleman, who was around thirty years old, with particularly bright brown eyes, extremely three-dimensional facial features, and slightly thicker eyebrows, was already blushing with embarrassment. He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then He choked and coughed.
The scene in front of me was so beautiful that it didn’t seem like I was on a tree father’s mission. Shade had some doubts that this moment was all an illusion created by the old god, but he understood that everything in front of him was real.
The witch Blechet quietly handed him a parchment scroll, which contained information about [Ritual: Contact with the Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly]. Shade just glanced at it, memorized the content, and returned the parchment to her - carrying this kind of thing around would be a big problem if it was lost.
"I heard that you are not very loving."
There isn't much time left, but Shade can still chat with people for a while. He asked his question, and the beautiful **** smiled and told Shade the answer:
"I don't love others, so I don't care about you, let alone make plans or conspiracies against you. You have nothing to do with me, and whether I respond to your wishes has nothing to do with you."
"That's right."
Xia De nodded, this mission is a little different from any previous missions. But the same thing is that he has to experience another separation.
Mr. Lyman, Ms. Brecht and Sister Perry will all see Shade for the last time. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time Shade sees them.
Although Mr. Lyman has not yet won the favor of those girls, Shade knows that his mission has been completed. White mist may appear behind him at any time, and the experience of this terrifying underground worm cave can be regarded as the most heartwarming among all his time and space adventures.
The six pink and white petals at hand floated up, forming a blooming flower, and flew into Shade's palm. Shade looked at God unexpectedly, and God continued:
"I can't let the beloved of the tree father leave empty-handed. These are ordinary flowers, but maybe they will play a role you can't imagine."
A green stem "grew" under the flower, and Shade twisted the flower to thank the God of Butterflies. This is a souvenir from this time. It is not precious, but it is a gift given to him by three friends and God.
Suddenly he looked at the three people attending the banquet together. Ms. Bretchett and the others were also looking at Shade:
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes."
"Won't you come back?"
Sister Perry also asked.
"Yes."
"We cannot express our gratitude to you enough."
Mr. Lehmann said at last.
Xia De shook his head:
"Just like what the gods said - I help you and it has nothing to do with you."
"So, you are"
Mr. Lyman was slightly surprised, but also somewhat looking forward to the answer. But before Shade responded, he shook his head:
"No, you don't have to tell us who you are. But do you really not want anything from us?"
Shad thought for a while and said to Miss Bretchett:
"If you can still remember me and the things here after you leave here, please pass on the power of the earth to the [Order of the Forgotten]."
"No problem, the earth will remember everything."
The witch said.
Shad said to Sister Perry:
"Sister, you don't have to do anything for me. Just. Thank you for everything."
The younger-looking middle-aged nun nodded thoughtfully.
Shade finally said to Mr. Lyman:
"Perhaps in a long, long time, I will look for your descendants. Your family can spread for a long time, longer than you think. Maybe you can leave some marks for your family that can be passed down. Of course, as much as possible Just do it, don’t be too embarrassed. We have to believe in the gravity of fate. If you are lucky enough, you may have met your descendants before I know it.”
"I understand sir, I will use the butterfly as the new emblem of the family."
Mr. Lyman said seriously:
"It's like you fulfilled your promise. And this is my promise, it will be fulfilled, and the earth will witness it all."
"Oh, there's no need to be so serious. My friend, just do what you can."
After speaking, Shade stood up:
"God, please allow me to make a proposal."
He said to the god, and after the beautiful **** nodded slightly, he raised his wine glass high. Butterflies flew around his arms, playing music corresponding to the tide of butterflies flying:
"It is the fate given to us that we can gather here and present our own songs and poems under the witness of the gods. Maybe we will not have the chance to meet again after leaving here, but this does not prevent us from enjoying the banquet. At this moment. Friends, please raise your glasses together to commemorate this grand and important banquet that no one can know at this time in the autumn of 4791 of the Fifth Age."
Ms. Bretchett, Sister Perry and Mr. Lyman also toasted:
"Celebrate our reunion at this moment and respect each other."
The four of them touched each other in the air, then raised their heads and drank the red wine in one gulp.
[Outlander, you have experienced a "miracle". 】
[Flowers and butterflies are the children of the earth. Colorful lights and bizarre fantasies are the last moments in the whispers of the past. When the butterfly **** looks down at the earth, perhaps what she sees is just the dream left by the earth. 】
[Your spell [Power of the Earth・Healing Aura] has been strengthened. Added new casting material: petals. When using soil and petals to cast spells at the same time, the casting cost is reduced and the spell casting effect is improved. 】
"I am the only ordinary person among us, but I will try my best to remember this adventure and this experience that is engraved in my soul. Respect to everyone!"
Mr. Lyman was a little excited and a little melancholy. And when he put down his wine glass with an excited expression, he clearly saw the butterfly girl sitting diagonally opposite him, blinking at him curiously and shyly.
A thick white fog appeared behind Sha De. The mission was completed and it was time for him to leave.
Xia De placed the cup firmly on the table and formally bid farewell to the gods:
"Can they return to their hometown safely?"
"Yes."
"Please allow me to express my gratitude again. This banquet is really good. I have participated in the blood banquet twice and fought with the vampire duke at the cocktail party, but those banquets are not as good as your banquet."
He said it very sincerely, and the Butterfly God smiled and said:
"Perhaps you can leave your words of praise to the two beautiful red butterflies imprisoned in your palms. Visitors who are favored by the tree father, I can give you one last reminder for another event you are about to hold. Banquet."
If there are no accidents, this should refer to the ceremony of the chosen ones "The Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess".
"Please tell me."
"A dangerous guy is trying to use that banquet to come to the material world. You must be prepared for this."
Xia De blinked:
"Yes, I understand."
He bowed again, said goodbye to his new friends, and then turned and walked towards Bai Wu.
When Shade completely disappeared, the **** sighed slightly in boredom:
"Interesting stories are always rare. Before the end of this era, this opportunity will probably only happen once. It is so good, illuminated by the silver moon."
The butterflies appeared in Sister Perry’s hands with a silver flute:
"Take this to your grave and he will receive this gift."
"Yes."
The nun said solemnly, holding the silver flute tightly:
"This is my promise."
Witch Bletchet also said softly:
"I will also remember my promise."
Mr. Lyman pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask God:
"I am willing to pay the price just to keep this memory after I leave here and leave clues for that gentleman to identify his descendants."
"Pay the price to keep memories? For what?"
God asked the man.
"Promise."
Mr. Lyman endured the instinctive fear and trembling in his body caused by being watched by gods:
"Although I am just an ordinary person and cannot compare to the witch or that gentleman, I will do what I promised. I am a human being just like them. This is a human promise."
