Chapter 2691 Ferry
Although Shade said it was a river, its size was not comparable to the Aronson River, the fourth largest river in the southern part of the Old World that ran diagonally through Vista City and directly connected to Willendel. But at least this mountain river was larger than a "creek", so small boats were allowed to pass.
So much time had passed since the Fifth Age, and the appearance of the forest had changed so much that Shad could not tell whether this river was the same river they had passed by in the Fifth Age on their way to the place where Miss Peggy McConaughey's key was shattered.
He and the witch came to the river and threw a small piece of animal bone into the river. As bubbles gurgled from the surface of the river, the small old wooden boat floated to the surface from under the water.
Even the Great Witch of Death did not notice anything unusual about the boat. She was just curious why the boat summoned by the skeleton was made of wood. Then she took Shade's hand and came to the small wooden boat, but still did not know what Shade wanted to do:
"Do you need my cooperation?"
"No need, I'll help you dry it, you just sit down and wait. It may not work, but maybe it can."
The origin of this small wooden boat is related to the waters of death. In the Battle of Green Lake, it was proved that it has the ability to "travel through space". In addition, the ferry god allowed him to experience the power of "ferrying", so Shade thought of using it to reach the brink of life and death at this time.
But when the witch sat down and the boat slowly started, Shade realized that his boat had no oars and was completely driven by his own thoughts. He wanted to grasp the feeling of propping up the boat of God at the "Black Sand Pier", and it would not feel right without oars.
The "Staff of Yggdrasil" was not long enough, so the witch had to find a long piece of wood from the shore and use transfiguration to transform it into the shape of a paddle.
Then the boat went quietly upstream in the river. The witch sitting on it first admired the scenery on both sides of the shore, and then admired Shade who was paddling at the stern of the boat, and once again confirmed that his physical condition was the so-called "natural body", which was the most in line with human aesthetics.
Once you start to think about random things when you are not doing anything, your thoughts will easily go to places you would never have thought of. In the sound of the splashing water, she thought of Princess Margaret of Anjou who was also attracted by his appearance, and then thought of the scene she saw this morning. Her face turned slightly red and she felt even more distressed about what the princess said.
"Karina must have done something worse to him. Really, they don't know how to appreciate beautiful things."
In his heart, he complained about Carina and Margaret, and then he complained about the lack of important parts in the education of the princesses by the Angevin royal family, and then he thought of Emma Silvia's attitude towards Shad:
"Emma actually wants Xia De to be her apprentice? Humph, how shameless! I guess she must have other ideas. Who doesn't know that it is a tacit rule for witches to touch their apprentices?"
Then she thought of the witch of the earth, who was Margaret's real teacher, from the witch of space:
"What about Vanessa? I forgot to ask her this morning. Since she knew that Margaret and Shade were having an affair, why did she agree to let Margaret become her apprentice? It can't be that she really wants the parliament to interfere in the politics and royal power of the Old World for the benefit of everyone, right?"
As she thought about it, the thought of "how did the Witch Council become like this" came to her mind again. However, she did not blame Shade, nor did she think that Shade was the "succubus" of the Cholera Council. She was just surprised that everyone could not resist the temptation.
【Look around.】
The "other me" beside her whispered a reminder, and the dreaming witch suddenly realized that a layer of mist had appeared on the river surface. But now it was a clear autumn morning, and it was impossible for such abrupt mist to appear naturally in the forest.
She looked at Xia De again, only to find that on the life ring behind Xia De, which seemed incredibly large every time she looked at it, the core spirit rune and a whispering spirit rune had already lit up.
If she also had Shade's "linguistic knowledge", she would know that it was [time and space] and [real death].
The boat had already sailed into the fog, and the slightly glowing hull carried the two people forward steadily. The fog became thicker as the boat continued to go upstream. Flora Winslet did not ask anything, but turned to look forward.
The dense fog suddenly dispersed after reaching a certain peak, or was replaced by a colder fog of death. The gray-white world appeared in front of the boat, and the thick fog of death made her turn into a cat and jump into Shade's arms:
"You really did it!"
"Yes, it worked."
[Foreigner, you have some understanding of "ferry" and "boat". ]
He dropped the piece of wood in his hand, fell on the boat and took a deep breath, then took out the bottle of pink essence from his pocket and took a sip. It was easier than he thought to open up a "route" purely by his own strength, but the cost was greater than he thought.
But at least once this route has been taken, the consumption on the return trip will be greatly reduced. If you want to enter here again in this way in the future, the consumption will also be very low, so this can be considered a one-time investment.
After Vanessa and the girls from the opera troupe arrived in Tobesk, a lot of perfume bottles had accumulated, so a sip could relieve Shade's consumption. But when he put the bottle away, he found that the cat in his arms stretched its head to the bottle mouth and stared at it, and even made a move to stick its head out to sniff it.
This action was something Xia De often saw on Xiaomia. As usual, Xia De then tapped the cat's head with his finger before putting the bottle away.
The cat witch covered her head with her front paws:
"Xia De, you must not use this kind of adulterous drug. I just smelled this scent and my whole body became hot, and then many inspirations came to me crazily. This is not a good thing, don't use it!"
Then Shade pressed her kitten's head again:
"What are you talking about? This is not a drug, it's a relic derivative."
He put the bottle, which glowed in the mist because of the fragrance, on the cat's face:
"Feel the whispering element?"
The cat nodded obediently:
"So it's a relic token. Wouldn't it be worse to drink the relic token directly?"
She was still a little worried:
"Let me try it, it smells really good. I smell the first time the lid of a brand new piano is opened, the unique indigo oil paint I mixed myself, and..."
Of course Shad would not let her try the fragrance, otherwise she would not have to do anything else this morning.
After leaving the boat, Shade simply confirmed the location in the fog, then avoided those meaningless battles and came to the cemetery in the center of the area.
When I visited here again after more than 60 years, the cemetery was surprisingly not much different from it was more than 60 years ago.
Jack Bronte's fake tomb still exists, but the coffin that served as the "tree hole" is no longer in the tomb - it is in the woods. When Shad wanted to push open the door of the hall to see Theodore Bronte's mother again, the cat in his arms whispered:
"Do you feel that the number of undead here has obviously increased? I feel something is wrong. The death force in the underground cemetery under our feet is about to explode like a bomb.
Don't use your light magic carelessly for a while, I'm afraid it will disturb the undead underground."
But at least the ground part of the auditorium was still normal. As the door of the auditorium was pushed open, the ghost of the noble lady transformed by Theodore Bronte's mother attacked them just as she had done more than 60 years ago.
The power accumulated over sixty years made her stronger, and when the pale green flame was blown by it, this time it almost instantly filled every corner of the small auditorium.
"Daylight ray!"
Instead of touching the Night Watchman in the slender box on his back, he thrust forward with his long staff, and the golden sunlight like a light cannon cut through the sea of fire and bombarded the undead at the end of the auditorium. The noblewoman's ghost, who was almost as tall as the auditorium, did not dodge, but opened her mouth and aimed at the sunlight:
"Ow!"
Amidst the howling sound like nails scratching glass, the pale green flame seemed to directly ignite the entire body of the undead. Then the green flame that emerged from its mouth also spurted forward like a column of light.
The blazing sunlight collided with the pale green soul fire. The huge soul even shook the small auditorium twice, and the cat's ears trembled, thinking that the death power underground was about to erupt. The golden sunlight melted the cold flames, but soon the cat on Shade's chest discovered that Shade was actually retreating:
"Do you need my help?"
"Not yet. Bronte must have done something to the undead here. Her strength is obviously wrong."
Xia De suddenly canceled the spell, and the next second green flames engulfed the entrance to the small auditorium.
After using Raglai's Leap to get into the air, Shade shot out a chain from his right hand to tie the chandelier on the top of the auditorium. As his body swung forward due to the potential energy, he bit his left hand and swung it forward violently:
"Soul whipping!"
The blood-red whip hit the vengeful spirit that was about to raise its head and spit out flames. The painful howling at that moment even made Shade temporarily deaf. This harmless magic attack on the spirit body was very effective. The intense pain made the vengeful spirit curl up and try to dodge, so the cat in the air opened its mouth and spit out lightning:
"Thaumaturge - Thunder of Sorrow!"
The almost completely transparent white lightning seemed to have the ability to melt away resentment. After being struck by the lightning, the ghost's body began to shrink like a balloon that had been punctured. Shade did not miss this opportunity. Several [Imprisonment Auras] drew arcs of light above the sea of fire and covered the undead. Then the cat opened its mouth and another lightning flashed.
