The Whispering Verses Chapter 944: The Witch Emperor and the Cat
When Shade returned home that evening, Lesia was still helping Shade carefully check and read Professor Manning's letters. She found pleasure in it and even took notes. The academic discussions between the history professor and the folklore professor probably also helped Dorothy in writing the detective story.
Of course, after Shade returned home, Lesia left the study. Her Royal Highness the Princess held Shade's hand and asked Shade to show "things that fly and shine", but in the end Shade failed to go to the basement to take out the slate, but he did have a very pleasant night.
In the bedroom, of course.
When Shade woke up in his bed on Sunday morning, the girl with beautiful long golden hair was sleeping soundly.
Shade carefully got up from the bed, opened the door, and immediately saw two terrifying lights shining on the sofa in the living room in the darkness, and then immediately realized that those were Mia's eyes shining.
"Meow~"
It made a low cry, which made people panic, and made Shade at the door of the bedroom almost imagine the aggrieved expression of the cat in the darkness at this moment.
Xia De quietly came to the sofa and picked up the cat in the dark. Little Mia rubbed Shade's chest. When Shade looked down at it, the cat also looked up at Shade.
The raising of the cat's face makes the cat look even cuter. Sometimes Shade even thinks that little Mia should be the most beautiful cat in the world.
After washing and changing clothes, I went to the study room to carefully roll up the paper I had written and put it in a paper tube, then turned it into a toy and put it in my pocket.
Open the drawer and take out the time key with cracks on the surface:
"It's time to go again."
I wanted to leave little Mia at home, after all, he was only gone for three seconds, but this time the cat abnormally used its claws to pull on Shade's cuffs. When Shade looked at it, the cat "meowed~".
Although Shade didn't understand cat language, he guessed that the cat also wanted to "go out" with Shade.
"Yeah, that's fine, but you can't run around."
So Shade found a towel and covered Mia, who was squatting obediently on the coffee table. After carefully putting the cat-shaped doll into his pocket, he tiptoed to the door of the room where he was lying on his side, for fear of waking up the sleeping girl:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
He said in a low voice, and then thought with pleasure that the hoarse voice sounded like a snake roaring.
Click~
The time key turned, and the white mist door like silk made Shade smile. He was used to such adventures and liked such adventures. Stepping forward and officially entering the White Mist Gate, "her" voice is always so charming:
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of Fifth Age 5177, Broken Islands, Lost Lake. 】
[Event: The witch pursuing eternal beauty. 】
【Duration is thirty minutes (2/3). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】
【The test given to you by the ancient **** of time will continue. 】
[Help mortals obtain the secret of eternal beauty from the mouths of gods. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Ritual - Water of Moonlight, Ritual - Fire of Sun. 】
I continued to move forward in the white mist without hesitation, and the curtain of white mist that appeared in front of my eyes immediately opened. As the thick fog receded toward both sides of the field of vision like water, what was shown to Shade was the large lake at night and the mist lingering on the lake.
The smell of the air in the deep forest near the lake is completely different from that of a warm and comfortable home, and the surrounding mist is a "sedative" with extraordinary power. If you are exposed to the mist for a long time, you will feel extremely tired, until you suddenly fall down and fall asleep for a long time. Even for witches and ring warlocks who have the ability to resist, long-term exposure to this mist can cause mental stagnation and mental depression, so Shade is still very worried about the health of the Witch Emperor, Miss Violet, and her party:
"Fifth Age, Broken Islands, Lost Lake."
I recited the time and place in my mind, and my ears already heard strange noises coming from the trees behind me. Shade didn't bother to guess what would eventually happen if he stayed by the lake. He bent slightly and ran forward in small steps, then suddenly jumped onto the misty lake:
"Oh!"
The extremely cold air rushed directly from the soles of his feet to his whole body. Even though he was prepared, Shade still shivered from the cold. But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the chill this time was less unbearable than the last time.
"Have I adapted to this cold, or is it because I have divinity this time?"
Shivering, I trotted forward for more than ten steps on the silent mist-shrouded water, then stood up on tiptoes and jumped into the sky:
"The incarnation of a red butterfly!"
In the hazy fog, a group of red butterflies shining with scarlet light dyed the fog red. The fluttering butterflies tried their best to fly towards the island in the center of the lake. At the same time, beside the bonfire on the edge of the island in the lake, Miss Schulz Theresa, a tenth-year student at Sussex Medical School, remained kneeling with her hands on her knees. Put it on your legs.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the firelight was reflected in her eyes, and red butterflies were flapping their wings in the firelight.
Miss Teresa pushed up her glasses, turned to the big witch holding a small book and said softly:
"Aunt, he appeared."
The ruler of Witton, the great witch of the Witch Council, and the Witch Emperor, Miss Violet Marshall, was drinking tea and reading a book. After hearing Miss Theresa's words, she passed the tea cup and book to the left and right. The maid then stood up while holding the outstretched hand of the third maid. She waved the maids to go about their business while she walked towards the lake. When she squinted her eyes, she saw little red lights flashing in the distance on the lake:
"Finally back."
The voice is a little hoarse and the mental state is a little bad. The rope flew out from behind her, flying toward the red light of the mold lake like a flying arrow. The rope only flew less than half the distance before falling to the silent water in the fog, but Miss Teresa who threw the rope still felt that something had been tied to the rope.
Three maids in black and white maid dresses cast spells with her and pulled the rope to the shore. The rope contracted rapidly. After the dark chain at the end also appeared, the witches were attracted by the runes on the chain almost at the same time. After Miss Violet coughed, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at the man in the black coat. They were "pulled" up from the lake.
Miss Theresa Schultz, who wears glasses, has the illusion that she is "fishing", but fishing cannot catch a man.
"Long time no see, Miss Violet, long time no see, Miss Theresa! Long time no see, ladies!"
Because the six maids, Shade, did not know their specific names, they all greeted them as "ladies". They either lowered their heads to avoid Shade, or turned their heads and ignored him with a smile, or looked at this side with a smile.
Miss Violet patted Shade on the shoulder, feeling the chill that penetrated her body, and said with a smile:
"Long time no see. Well, don't seduce my maid anymore. Last time you left in a hurry, there were still many things that you didn't explain clearly. Fortunately, you did appear again."
As he said that, he pointed to the burning bonfire, and Shade and Miss Violet walked over together. Then the Witch Emperor, Shade, and Miss Theresa sat together by the bonfire. Shade stretched out his hand first. He lit a fire to warm himself up, then put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat and found Mia's doll.
Cover the doll with a small handkerchief. After picking up the handkerchief, little Mia also appeared on the shore of the island in the middle of the Lost Lake.
"Meow~"
When it came to an unfamiliar environment, the cat used to threaten the surroundings first, then rubbed Shade's chest, and finally jumped onto his lap and lay down, looking at the fire in front of it with its big eyes.
"Your pet?"
Miss Violet looked at the cat, and the firelight illuminated the faces of the three people:
"Looks special."
"No, you can't count it as my pet, at least not now. How is it special?"
Xia De’s eyes became sharp.
【You are here again. 】
"Very cute."
In the light of the campfire, the orange part of the fur on Xiao Mia's back is particularly bright. Miss Violet reached out to touch the cat, but little Mia blocked her with her paw.
The Witch Emperor looked at the little paw in surprise. Instead of being angry, he laughed:
"What an interesting cat. I also keep many pets in the palace, but I have to admit that even the Bortles curly hair is more expensive than thirty times the weight of gold per gram. There is no other three-tailed cat that can match the beauty of this cat. How much gold did you spend to buy it?"
She was interested.
"Oh, how can the value of Xiao Mia be measured in gold?"
Xia De raised his chest and asked. In fact, he couldn't answer this question. He couldn't buy the cat yet.
"Yes, gold is not everything. Sometimes gems, diamonds, real estate, precious relics and knowledge are also needed."
Miss Violet nodded in agreement:
"If I meet this cat before you do, I'd be willing to trade an earldom for it."
"County? Your Majesty, a true princess couldn't get this cat from me even with her own body. It is indeed cute, and not only in appearance, but Mia was once"
"Ahem."
Miss Teresa pushed up her glasses, and when she saw both of them looking at her, she reminded her in a low voice:
"Your Majesty Violet, sir, I admit that this cat is very beautiful, but should we get down to business first?"
"Meow~"
While Shade wasn't paying attention, the early cat opened his mouth wide and yawned. The little head was placed on the front paws, watching the jumping bonfire quietly. The cat's tail was wagging back and forth, occasionally rubbing Shade's arm. The cat was in a good mood now.
