The Whispering Verses Chapter 2273: Fifth Age 4260

As the girls said this, they walked towards the study. Shade followed Lecia and asked suspiciously to Miss Carina, who was walking with her:

"You don't have to take a test, right?"

The Duchess raised her eyebrows:

"Of course not, but there are still some official documents that need to be processed. Anyway, your study is as big as the bedroom. Can't you give me a piece of desktop? Tifa is not here now. I have to deal with some things by myself. I have begun to miss my dear. Apprentice."

"Then tonight"

Luvia tugged on Shade's sleeve:

"I know you still want to know. Yesterday, Saturday, Lesia's time was given to me. I will sleep in the guest room tonight."

She said this, and a smile appeared on the face of the red-haired princess, and Shade looked at Miss Carina again. The Duchess looked at Lesia and asked teasingly:

"Does Little Lesia need help?"

Of course Lecia will not admit defeat:

"Of course not. Tonight is my time. You and the maids can go to sleep downstairs. Don't underestimate me. Counting Dorothy, Grace, and Helen, I am the real one." ”

The Duchess smiled and did not object, but in fact late that night, when she quietly came to the second floor and opened the bedroom door and saw the scene in the bedroom illuminated by the moonlight, Lesia was breathless. There was no objection to her arrival.

Miss Carina originally thought that Luvia, who was actually asleep in the guest room early Monday morning, would make fun of her behavior, but in fact Luvia said nothing. Early on Monday morning, the atmosphere at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square was cheerful. The maids were either helping the ladies of the house dress up or making breakfast in the kitchen.

In the bedroom, Shade heard Lesia telling Luvia that she had recently discovered that her skin seemed to have turned a lot whiter. Miss Carina, who was choosing clothes in the cloakroom, smiled and suggested that today The three of them went to meet her personal tailor to order autumn dresses in advance.

Shade had just come up from downstairs carrying the [God's Gift Box] at this time. Little Mia stood in the gift box with the lid open, holding the edge of the box with her front paws and looking at Shade happily.

However, after placing the box on the coffee table, Shade did not touch the gift. Instead, he took out the time key purchased from Old John last week.

The time key that was supposed to be used on Friday was delayed because he wanted to concentrate on dealing with the devil. Now that the devil's matter is temporarily over, it's time for a new time adventure to begin.

"I'm going out and I'll be back in three seconds."

Shad took the key and said to the ladies who were still putting on makeup and changing clothes, but only Lesia responded to him:

"Be safe. I hope you are not already back when you hear this."

Then the laughter of Luvia and Miss Carina came.

Little Mia obviously doesn't like going out very much, but she always wants to go out with Shade when he uses the time key. But Shade still remembered what happened last time, so even though the cat followed him to the door of the study on its short legs, Shade still didn't take it with him:

"I haven't forgotten the last time you suddenly changed from a toy to a cat and stepped on my head."

He knelt down and tried to reason with his cat:

"Oh, Mia, I don't blame you for stepping on my head, but you can't change it casually. I definitely can't let you follow me this time. Let's wait for breakfast at home."

"Meow~"

The cat meowed softly and looked at him with wide eyes. Shade wasn't sure whether the cat understood, so when he stood up and was about to insert the key into the keyhole, he turned around and glanced at the cat. It was still standing in its original position:

"Don't follow me. It's very dangerous this time. I don't know what's going on on the other side."

Shad said to the cat again. Luvia in the room smiled and shook her head at Lesia, who also chuckled and listened to the conversation outside.

"Meow~"

"May the World Tree protect me in time."

The key was inserted into the keyhole, and with the force of the wrist, the door opened with a click, and behind the door was a thick white mist like cotton wool.

Shadra grabbed the door frame and looked back again, and found that little Mia was still where she was, even squatting down and looking at him with a very obedient look.

Xia De emphasized again:

"Don't follow me when I'm not paying attention. Only one creature is allowed to pass through this door. Don't move around."

"Meow~"

"You're so good this time, aren't you?"

"Xia De, if you don't set off again, I won't leave you breakfast."

Miss Carina's voice came from the room, and Shade said "Oh~" and turned around and walked into the fog door. As for the orange-white cat, it was still squatting there obediently, waiting for Shade to come back without blinking.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】

[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]

[In the summer of 4260 in the Fifth Age, the Eastern Continent, the Golden Sand Sea. 】

[Event: Looking for the "Heart of the Oasis". 】

[Duration is forty minutes (1/3). 】

"The year 4260 is more than five hundred years away from the year 4791, when I attended the banquet of the Butterfly God in the Worm Cave in the Southern Continent; it is still more than five hundred years away from the year 3028, when Fiona and I escaped from the Far North together. Night City, twelve hundred years have passed."

These are the two closest time points, and the long time always makes people melancholy. But this point in time also means that Shade will most likely not meet any acquaintances during this expedition.

"The location is a desert, so I hope it will be brighter this time at least, so that I won't be blind every time. Desert. Could it be that there was too much water in the Sunless Sea last time, so there is no water at all this time? But what is the Heart of Oasis? It’s something I’ve never heard of.”

He stood in the white mist, thinking wildly, and "she" continued:

[You have obtained additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】

[The ancient **** of time gives you a test. 】

【Witness three sand sea illusions with the **** "Misty Lady". 】

[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: a true message - the Holy White Auditorium, thaumaturgy - the Crystal of Truth. 】

"Mist Lady. Oh, remember, the God of Mist, this is a **** who has a neutral attitude towards life."

Xia De recalled in the fog:

The followers of "What did the book say?" are composed of hermits who live in areas far away from civilization. It is said that if you walk alone in the thick fog, you have a chance of encountering the temple of this god. Of course. , that was in the fifth era, and this **** also left in the fifth era."

The God of Mist is not very powerful, but he is definitely not a lesser-known god. Shade didn't know much about it, but at least he confirmed that it was not an evil **** similar to a vampire god.

"The mission is to witness the illusion, well, as for the reward this time."

[Holy White Auditorium] is the space left by the ancient **** "Dragon of Glory". It is said that this space is related to the ancient gods. Shade heard these things from Miss Belindel.

This reward itself is very useful to Shade. Considering that Tree Father has also given information about [Dark Dungeon] and [Silver Moon Library] before, he is not surprised at all.

"Thaumatology-Truth Crystal, corresponds to the Whispering [Prejudice] spiritual rune I just obtained. The tree father is really considerate. Just before I had time to find thaumaturgy for this spiritual rune, he gave me the corresponding reward. . What will it do? The name doesn’t sound like an attack thaumaturgy.”

Xia De thought in his mind, and then wondered why the thaumaturgy corresponding to "prejudice" is the "truth":

"Gluttony corresponds to fullness, greed corresponds to cherishing, laziness corresponds to high expenses, anger corresponds to calmness, arrogance corresponds to praise, indifference corresponds to enthusiasm. Yes, I should be used to it."

He shook his head and took a step forward in the white mist. Then the white mist slowly spread to both sides. The curious Xia De just wanted to observe the surroundings, then he yelled and covered his eyes, and then quickly pulled off his clothes:

"Oh! Why is it so bright! Why is it so hot!"

[Weren’t you still complaining just now that all the time explorations have been too dark? 】

"She" asked in Shade's ear with a smile.

After the white fog dissipated, the bright sun in the sky almost blinded Shade's eyes, and the heat rising around him made him feel like he was about to explode.

The world seemed to have turned into a huge steamer, in which Shade had nowhere to hide or escape. You must know that with his current physical condition, even if he puts his hand into the fire to roast it, he will not have such a big reaction.

The heat was transferred upward through the soles, but it also made Shade feel like he was stepping on sand.

While he quickly took off his extra clothes, he looked around with eyes slightly adapted to the strong light. It was indeed an endless desert.

Although there is a breeze here, and the breeze also drives the gravel to flow on the sand surface, the wind also feels hot. Looking around, sand like gold grains covers every corner of the field of vision.

The heat even caused a strong distortion in the air. Shade felt that he would die in ten minutes at most, not to mention the forty minutes required by the mission.

"Carina's Ice Spell!"

Took out the water bottle from his pocket, and then tried to blow cold air into it, but the spell failed and no cold air was breathed out at all. Even the water in the water bottle begins to evaporate at an abnormal speed as soon as the lid is opened and exposed to sunlight.

"Mystery Lock-Match Girl! It's going to snow soon!"

With the rapid consumption of spirits, the skylight seemed to become dimmer, but other than that nothing happened.

Although Shade knew that in this unstable space environment, he could not summon a complete starry sky or even a street, and his own spirit was not enough, he did not expect that even the simplest snow could not be realized.

[Foreigners, there are special environmental rules here, and all the power to cool down and create water, ice and snow cannot be used. 】

"She" continued.

Fortunately, although the evaporation rate here is very fast, you can still take out a water bottle and pour it on your head to cool down your brain a little.
