The Whispering Verses Chapter 1470: Big earthquake
Chapter 1470 The Great Earthquake
Luvia took the compiled report and continued:
"The big witches are currently fighting in the east of the city, probably because the earthquake has not yet come, and they have not encountered any strong enemies worth mentioning yet. Miss Sylvia encountered them outside Oxenfurt Manor. Enemies are probably the most troublesome type of enemies, and according to the news from the church, the biggest problem at present is that there are too many enemies, and the proportion of outstanding individuals among them is very small. If this is the case tonight, The level of danger and the intensity of the fighting this night were far worse than those at Fort Rice."
"It's just that no one knows what the big earthquake is like."
Miss Sylvia's voice came from the door, and the young witch who had rested came in. First, he asked Tifa about Shade's condition, and then told him his arrangement:
"I will not leave the opera house for the time being. According to the plan discussed before, I will continue to act with Shade. Shade, you take a break for the time being. However, after receiving the news that the Randall flower blooms, you Should we ride out of the city again, or go to the Temple of the Night through the Church of the Forsaken?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a rest first."
Miss Sylvia nodded, said hello to Shade, and then went to the Witch Council to report the situation.
Shad also wanted to get up and do something, such as taking a look at the surroundings of the Wilde Opera House, or returning home the rewards from killing the demon.
But Luvia stopped Shade:
"You should take a rest. Although I don't know how long you can rest, don't do anything else now."
"But."
"Yes, take a break."
Tifa was behind the sofa, gently holding Shade's shoulders to prevent him from getting up:
"I'll get the blanket and let Shade have a good rest."
She said this and winked at Luvia, so the purple-eyed girl also held Shade’s hand to prevent him from getting up:
"?Mengfu? Stand up now and I will kidnap your cat."
She was half joking, and Shade muttered something like "That's Miss Gold's cat":
"Then I will sleep for a while first. It's a pity that I haven't learned the 'Moon Dream' yet, otherwise sleep will speed up recovery."
"Maybe a big earthquake happens after one o'clock in the morning, and you will be fully recovered when you wake up."
Luvia said, patting her leg:
"Let's sleep here. Speaking of which, we haven't tried this kind of thing yet."
She said with a smile, and Shade hugged Mia and lay down. Tifa also came back with a blanket at this time and helped cover Shade's body.
Although Shade felt tired, he didn't feel like he could sleep at this time. He smelled the perfume on Luvia's body and closed his eyes at her "command", while Mia was held in his arms. Although the cat was faced with the temptation of food on the coffee table, it was... The first time Shade was held to sleep, he immediately felt at ease.
This made Shade quite happy. Compared to the food, Shade seemed to be more attracted to the cat.
"Sleep, sleep, Shade."
The maids left quickly, and the gas light in the office was dimmed. Shade lay on his side on Luvia's lap. Luvia patted his back gently, and then sang a lullaby from the Delarian folk song.
Xia De, who was not sleepy at first, fell asleep without even hearing the third line of the lyrics after the gentle singing sounded. After noticing that Shade's breathing had become steady and that the orange-and-white cat had closed its eyes and rested peacefully, Luvia smiled and continued singing the lullaby, hoping that this moment would last longer.
[He has changed his destiny. 】
Muttering in the ears, whispering next to the purple-eyed girl, Luvia continued to sing and asked in her heart:
"You mean, Stone Oxenfurt is already dead, and Sirius Lassus doesn't need to be forced to die early?"
[Yes. 】
Luvia herself couldn't understand the emotion in "her" voice at this time. It was an emotion that was a mixture of relief, rejoicing, and joy. Short-haired Luvia, who didn't understand the stories of the "past and sixth era," didn't know the reason for this emotion.
"The devil is dead, so will there be other dangers tonight?"
Luvia asked softly again, and "she" was silent for a moment:
[Yes. 】
Luvia did not ask what danger it was, but asked another question:
"How long can Shade sleep?"
[About twenty minutes. 】
Luvia didn't ask any more questions, and "she" didn't talk about it again. "She" hummed a lullaby with her for the sleeping strangers. Even though Shade couldn't hear "her" voice at the moment, Luvia still thought that she would remember this moment tonight for the rest of her life.
The gentle lullaby accompanied Shade as he fell asleep. He obviously had many messy thoughts before he closed his eyes, but after falling asleep, he did not dream of the devil, nor Mrs. Hai?, nor that he was still outside the city at this time. Dr. Schneider did not even see the silver moon from the field ridge.
He could realize that Luvia was humming, he could also detect that the cat he was holding was as warm as the sun, and he could even realize that the small blanket covering him had the scent of a witch.
This time's sleep was so reassuring to him that when the shaking woke him up, Shade had a rare craving for the taste of sleep.
"Earthquake!"
Noting the change in Shade's breathing rate, Luvia reminded him softly.
Xia De, who was leaning on a soft "pillow", could clearly feel the entire sofa shaking violently, and the gas lamp on the wall was cut off the second after the earthquake started because of the gas valve protection device. Gone was the gas supply.
Although Shade has experienced earthquakes more than once in major events in the past, he has never experienced such an earthquake in his two lives so far.
For a moment, he even felt that if Luvia hadn't held him, he would have fallen directly under the sofa with Mia. Faced with such a natural disaster, the originally timid cat was not afraid, but even a little excited.
The earth seems to be wailing, and the ancient cities scattered across the river valleys and plains are facing natural disasters.
As a ring warlock, even a first-level warlock, the extraordinary beings in the entire Randall Valley can hear the sound of a giant beast wailing deep underground. They could also hear the huge beating sound of the heart spreading to the entire Old Continent as the seismic waves were transmitted.
The land that my feet stepped on became so strange and hostile after this moment. The mutated earth has entered the fourth stage of distortion. If the problem cannot be solved tonight, then the earthquake at this time will be the first bell of the material doomsday.
"Here we go."
Shad held Luvia's legs and sat up, sobering up a little. After the first wave of earthquakes ended, he and Luvia went downstairs to check on the situation.
The renovation of the Wilde Opera House was completed just over a month ago. Hillis, who was in charge of the renovation plan, considered the impact of hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters when carrying out the overall reinforcement of the house. Therefore, the Wilde Opera House was not damaged in the earthquake. The girls who stayed behind at the opera house were well prepared and were not injured in the earthquake that occurred in the early morning.
The gas supply to the gas lamps has not been restored for a long time, and Miss Hayley Aurora organized people to distribute candles and kerosene lamps. Looking out from the window, the wind and snow brought wailing and crying in the distance. In the deep night, together with the ashes produced by the collapsed houses, the red light of the fire, and the faint light in the hands of the pathfinding team walking through the streets, Describes the various aspects of the city after the earthquake.
Even though the church and the city hall have made advance preparations for this disaster, ordinary mortals still have to suffer in the face of this natural disaster. After the most violent shaking is over, a series of aftershocks are about to occur. Tonight, probably no one can sleep.
And this earthquake is just a prelude to the real disaster tonight.
"Do you feel it?"
In the basement of the Wilde Opera House, Shade placed his palms on the ground in the ritual left by the "Earth Witch" Miss Bernice, and directly felt the dynamics of the earth through the increase in the ritual.
Luvia and the three witch apprentices were all by Shade's side at this time. The lighting **** summoned by the girls made the basement as bright as day.
"I feel it. The largest twisting zone in the Randall River Valley is now north and east of the city."
Shad said:
"It's not far from where the great witches are now. We can send a message so that Miss Carina and the others don't have to move for the time being."
"Judging from the map, among the seven possible locations, the only ones located in the northeast are the Night Temple and an open space by the river next to the Elon River."
Miss Hayley Aurora said, while Miss Rita Swift asked worriedly:
"Should Shade leave immediately? Isn't his injury not healed yet?"
"He will need half an hour to recover. It is best not to use any magic during this period."
"Although it will be at least an hour and a half before the crazy guardian appears, I can't possibly wait another half hour. Fortunately, I actually still have forty minutes."
Shad looked at Luvia, and Luvia understood what Shad meant:
"Keep the key just for the current situation. Then, let's go."
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
Mia was turned into a toy and put away in her pocket. There was no need to say goodbye after three seconds of separation. Shade and Luvia returned to the third floor and opened the door where the Broken Time Key was inserted in the office of Miss Benanis's opera director.
