The Whispering Verses Chapter 2563: Fifth Age 2025
Chapter 2562 The Fifth Era 2025
"This is a passage from the book "Female Soldiers by the Dawn River"."
The duchess, who was very educated, understood it immediately, or in other words, everyone present, except Shade and the cat, did not understand where the excerpts Dorothy recited came from.
She continued to praise:
"If it weren't for Dorothy's "Hamilton's Detective Stories", Flora's book would probably be the best-selling novel in the entire Old World in 1853. Now, you have surpassed her."
"No, no, no."
Dorothy shook her head:
"Her books are of great literary value. My books are just popular works. I am still a long way from being a writer like Miss Winslet. Shade, that lady is now in Weiss Tower City? ”
"Yes, would you like me to get a signed photo for you?"
Shad smiled and joked, and Dorothy thought for a moment:
"Based on your conversation just now, are you helping her solve her trouble?"
"We all know that Shade has always been good at helping witches solve problems."
The Duchess teased, Dorothy nodded clearly:
"Forget the autographed photos, I think I should have the opportunity to meet her directly before long. Flora Winslet, I'm really looking forward to it."
Dorothy seemed to admire the witch, but probably because of the first impression, when Shade thought of that lady, the image of a chubby round-faced owl immediately jumped out, and then her human The appearance of the form.
[Maybe it’s not because of the first impression, but because her current identity is that of an owl, which is changing people’s perception of her to a certain extent. 】
So the curse on the two ladies must be resolved as soon as possible.
No one else can help with this matter. Most people have never heard of the "time curse". Even people like Dr. Schneider and Father August who had heard about it couldn't come up with a solution.
Of course, Shade did not forget to consult Helen and Grace on relevant issues. The two sisters, who claimed to have lost most of their past memories, also knew about the "time curse", but the solutions they gave were quite vague:
"Of course there is a way to remove this curse. The curse of time comes from destroying time. Sir, haven't you guessed that it requires atonement to remove the curse?"
"How to do it specifically?"
"Well, they have to find a solution themselves. After all, time is very fair."
In short, we still need to investigate the "time traveler" in the Vista Woodland area, but before going out this morning, Shade used this week's time key first.
The key that was supposed to be used on Friday was delayed until Sunday. After breakfast, Carina and Dorothy were sent away. Shade only remembered this when he dug his pockets before going out:
“It feels like it has been many months since the adventure of the ‘Gravel Sand Sea’ ended.”
Now that Miss Daniste has been found, she is still safe for the time being although she is cursed. This should be regarded as the prelude to the big event in "Music City", so it is appropriate to use the time key at this time.
"Meow~"
The cat squatting at his feet meowed obediently, but this was the first time he had opened the new key. Shade would definitely not take the cat with him:
"Look after the house. I'll be back soon. If it's safe, I'll take you with me next time."
He walked to the study room on the second floor:
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time~"
Click~ The study door opened a crack, and behind the door was the extremely familiar white fog door.
Shad did not walk in immediately, but thought about whether the "time chosen one" this time also had the ability to perform special tasks in the past time like himself.
Then I thought that if the Time Chosen One really had such ability, then he would be able to have companions in his time adventure.
The cat looked at his back, and Shade took a step forward and stepped into the fog door. This long-lost feeling of not having to worry about anything in reality and just focusing on what is about to happen is very missed by outsiders:
"What kind of story will it be this time?"
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[The summer of 2025 in the Fifth Era, the Western Continent, Black Sand Wharf. 】
[Event: Farewell. 】
[Duration is thirty minutes (1/3). 】
"The year 2025~ It has been more than two hundred years since I left my hometown. In 1784, Mr. Riddle and I played the game of life with the 'God of Gambling' at the Dreadfort; in 3014, I was at Night Manor. It was still a thousand years before I first met Helen and Grace at the banquet."
He sighed in the white mist because of this string of year numbers, and then cheered up again:
"The name of the event is a bit too simple, so let's continue."
[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:]
【Waiting with mortals for those who are about to leave. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune-Tree. 】
There is only one reward and it is a spiritual rune. Shade is not surprised. In fact, even if there is no reward, he is still willing to explore those past events, not to mention that "tree" is one of the most critical powers of the tree father.
He was surprised that this time there was no information about which **** he was about to encounter. But thinking about it carefully, when he met Mr. Riddle in the Dreadfort, he didn't see any information about it in the prompt. Message from the gods:
"The location is the dock, and the task is to wait for the departing person"
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a little melancholy.
He patted his face gently to adjust his mood, and then took a step forward. The white mist slowly dispersed like a stage curtain.
First, the sound of rushing water reached my ears, and then I saw a layer of mist floating around in the dim light. The coolness followed, and the sky was dark and gloomy, as if the dark clouds were directly above the head. There is a beach made of black gravel under your feet. If you move your feet slightly, you can see the clear footprints left by you.
Not far in front of him was the source of the sound of water. The mist did not completely block his sight in the darkness. Shade could vaguely see the horizon in the distance. It was a black ocean or a large black lake. Along the Looking to both sides where the beach meets the water, there is no end in sight.
He could not describe the depression and horror of the environment at this moment. There was no wind in the air, and the only sound was the sound of waves. There seems to be something more terrifying above the dark clouds. The completely dark beach looks particularly empty, and it is really absorbing Shade's happy emotions.
The direction we were facing was the water at the end of the black sand beach, while the place behind us, covered by mist, looked like a small town. Even with Shade's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly the specific appearance of the small town. He only knew that there were no lights there, like the corpse of a giant beast lying on the horizon, but he could vaguely see some figures in the blurry town. Medium shaking.
Fortunately, since he was facing the direction of the water when he came, and the name of the location of this mission was "Black Sand Pier", Shade knew that he should move in the direction of the water without thinking.
He just observed his surroundings before setting off, and as the sound of his shoes contacting and rubbing against the sand was mixed into the unconsciously frightening sound of the waves, Shade, who was already feeling in a bad mood, , and a bad feeling suddenly came to my heart.
He knew that there must be danger every time the tree father asked him to appear, but this time the danger of consuming happiness and increasing negative emotions was really different from the past.
He would rather have two sand worms crawling out from under his feet and chase him down than be in the current situation. Because the state of disappearing happiness and rising sadness and fear does not increase with time, but with the distance he moves.
"Raglai's jump!"
The empty black beach does not prohibit spatial abilities, but even "space movement" is still considered movement, and turning into a swarm of butterflies flying forward will also be affected by negative emotions, and even the glow that appears here The color of the red butterflies has faded into a weird red and white color.
He already missed the strong sunlight in the "Golden Sand Sea".
The best way to combat the disappearance of positive emotions and the increase of negative emotions is to try to recall those happy things, because the figures of little Mia and the girls are hidden in his heart, so although the process of moving forward is difficult, Shade still persists And walked down.
But fortunately, the location where he appeared was not very far from the shore. Two minutes later, Shade saw the light of the bonfire in front of him.
After walking a few hundred steps toward the fire, I could really see the "line" where the black gravel in the mist met the black water, and I also saw the lonely pier trestle on the nearly straight "coastline". and a lone figure beside a lit bonfire at the entrance to the pier.
"With such a long coastline but only one pier, do you only have one companion this time?"
The wooden pier is not particularly large, with three steps extending from the beach to the water, and then only one trestle continues to extend into the black water. The trestle is not particularly long. There is a wooden boat parked on the side at the moment, and a tall figure holding an oar is standing on the boat.
As for looking further toward the water, the fog was indeed very thin, but it was still not enough for Shade to see the end of the black water.
Of course, although there is endless black water here like "Real Death", the water under the dark moon is calm and fog-free. The black water here has one wave after another, and it is white. Misty.
What's more important is that "real death" has the power to completely freeze the soul, and there is only this kind of power there; while this black beach pier is full of negative emotions such as sadness, and the two are completely different.
Xia De thought in his mind and quickened his pace, but when he got really close, he discovered that the lonely figure sitting by the bonfire at the entrance of the pier was actually a man.
The bonfire is to the left of the rotten wooden steps, on the same side as the ship next to the pier. The middle-aged man, who was holding his legs with his head lowered, looked at the dancing flames in front of him with a dull expression. The flames were not strong, but they were enough to provide him with protection.
