Chapter 2730 Awakening
The cat and the unicorn flew together in the night sky. At a certain moment, the strong feeling of suffocation made Flora Winslet open her eyes. She struggled subconsciously for a few times, and then realized that she was being dragged by Shadra in human form, swimming slowly from the bottom of the lake to the surface.
A voice appeared in both of their ears at the same time:
[Flora/Stranger, you sense blasphemy, and you have some understanding of "moderation."]
The warm yellow light was helping her revive her body quickly, but if you looked closely, it was clearly the tail of the cat lying on top of Shade's head that was glowing.
The upward process was not long. The people on the shore who were pulling the chains were pulling so hard that when Shade led the witch out of the water, they thought they were flying out.
"They're back! Shade made it!"
Silver torches were held high by everyone, followed by Iluna's excited shouts and a series of footsteps approaching the lake.
"We're fine! Go back to the camp first, and don't go near the lake."
At the same time, Shad also spoke loudly.
Her eyes, which had adapted to the dimness underwater, could not immediately adapt to the light of the torches gathered around her, so the Witch of Death closed her eyes and curled up her body, allowing the wet Shade to pick her up in a princess hug and return to the camp with the people around her.
The elements and spirits by the lake were still in chaos. Just now, after Shade went into the water, the girls on the shore had obviously experienced a fierce battle, but it seemed that with the presence of the thirteenth-level witch, the battle here did not cost anything.
After returning to the camp, someone immediately handed her a towel. The warm campfire gradually brought Flora Winslet back to her senses from a series of events. She then noticed one thing:
"Why are there so many people here? Where did Xia De find so many people?"
She was held by Xia De and placed next to the campfire. When she opened her eyes, she saw many people surrounding her and looking at her with concern.
Miss Bell bent over her with a towel and wiped her hair, while Matilda, who was very good at handling dirty clothes, dried her skirt.
She would not mistake the faces that were looking at her worriedly in the firelight. The one with the birthmark between her eyebrows was the Countess, the old face was the old witch, the young black-haired girl was the Great Witch of Space, and the blonde opera singer who was promoted to the thirteenth level:
"Bella, Granny Cassandra, Emma, and Vanessa? Why are you here?"
Only then did she understand what Xia De meant by "someone comes to save us" in her dream, but she immediately realized what it meant that Xia De could find so many people.
And seeing that she could still tell everyone's name, the witches felt relieved.
"Shad came to us. He said something big happened here. It seems that it is too dangerous for you to be alone in Vestal Forest. Adele should send Emma as well."
Mother-in-law Cassandra then said, and Miss Winslet subconsciously objected:
"No, I'm enough for now. Mother-in-law, do you really know Xia De?"
The old witch smiled and stopped talking, so Vanessa asked again:
"How do you feel now? I was really shocked when Shade found me."
She placed her hand on Flora's forehead, and the healing power from the earth helped her recover her physical and mental strength, but in fact Flora did not feel any discomfort except that she was a little cold.
"Actually, you can let Emma come first. Even if it's not to help you, it's to help Shade."
The Countess interrupted, while the black-haired Space Witch smiled and said nothing. She certainly had no objection to coming here immediately.
"Bella, speaking of this, some time ago I asked you to help me divine Shade's origins."
The Countess of Yuewan smiled but said nothing. The birthmark between her eyebrows was very obvious in the firelight.
Flora shook her head violently:
"I feel like even if I wake up, I can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood. Are you all lying, or am I the only one who can't see the reality clearly? Please let me calm down for a while, my mind is in a mess. So, how many witches know Shade?"
"Not everyone anyway."
Miss Sylvia then spoke.
Shad was not with them, but was checking with Luvia, Iluna and Miss Danister about what had just happened on the shore. Tifa was drying his clothes.
Helen and Grace were talking to the elf girl, but it seemed that the elf girl was not afraid of them, which was different from Emilia.
"After you entered the water, the resentment in the lake erupted. Originally, Luvia and Mia were in the camp, but your cat rushed out. None of us could stop it, and it didn't seem to be afraid of the Lake of Love."
Iluna said this, and Shade looked at the girl with purple eyes:
"Besides this, are there any other abnormalities?"
Luvia shook her head slightly and returned the staff to him:
"No, what abnormality do you mean?"
Xia De clearly saw her shadow at this moment and nodded suddenly, and then he understood in his heart:
"Nothing, just a little worried. As long as Flora can be rescued, I will deal with other things later."
"I have a proposal."
The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl said:
"It seems that the danger of Vista Forest is still far beyond our expectations. Since the Witch Council has so many people, let's leave some of them behind. We can't always find extra people."
"I need to think about it. More people also means a higher probability of danger."
The lake water on him and the cat had been evaporated. When he woke up from the lake just now, the cat was still in the form of a cat. It did not suddenly turn into a majestic "golden lion".
The rescue plan was quite successful. Afterwards, Shad and Flora were checked separately by everyone, and it was confirmed that they were really fine. Only then was the rescue operation truly over.
As for the relic derivative stele whose effect was unknown, at the suggestion of Grace and Helen, Shad threw it back to the bottom of the lake, returning it to where it should have been.
No one knew what this action triggered, but after the stone tablet sank to the bottom of the water, the other victims who were sinking at the bottom of the lake, including Linda Bennett, actually floated up one after another.
It was not that the power of the Love Lake when Shad and the witch came during the day was triggered, but that they were also released by this big lake and pushed to the shore by the flow of the lake water.
However, these people did not wake up immediately. They were all ordinary people, and even Miss Linda Bennet, the last one to enter the lake, spent longer in the dream than Shad and Flora.
Most of these people will never wake up again, and only a few with strong will and short dream time can resume normal life.
Of course, Shade did not forget that Linda Bennett was attracted here because she rashly used the lake water. Therefore, he did not intend to secretly send these people into the city, but to inform the church of what happened here. While the church dealt with these people, it could also reseal the lake.
Although everyone was rescued, "Love Lake" is still Love Lake, and the big lake reflecting the stars is still waiting for the arrival of those who thirst for happiness.
The matter is over for now. Although it is very dangerous here, the camp has not been evacuated for the time being. The witches will collect some local soil and plant samples and bring them back to the council to seal them together with the report to warn future witches of the dangers here.
Of course, they will not collect lake water.
After confirming with Luvia and the others what had just happened on the shore, Shade found Flora, who was surrounded by the witches and being examined, by the campfire.
Everyone was very interested in her current identity as an "owl", but they couldn't ask before because of protecting her dignity. But now is a good opportunity.
So the impatient witch of death drove away her "annoying" colleagues, leaving only Cassandra to talk to her, but she still looked unhappy. Shad passed by Miss Belindel, who winked at him and then took Matilda to find Luvia.
She also wanted to talk to Luvia about divination.
"Flora, how do you feel now?"
Shade asked, sitting on the cushion brought by Miss Swift. Granny Cassandra also smiled and looked at Flora, who was sitting by the fire in a somewhat dejected manner. After moving closer to Shade, she tilted her head and rested it on his shoulder.
Of course everyone saw this.
"I feel good, both physically and mentally, but I feel a little lost."
"It is important for both witches and ring sorcerers to distinguish between dreams and reality. Flora, you have awakened from your dream, but you seem unwilling to wake up."
The kind old witch seemed to see through everything. She held Miss Winslet's left hand with her right hand and covered the back of her hand with her left hand:
"I'm not worried about your condition, Flora. I've known since you were a witch apprentice that you are stronger than anyone else. The fact that you carry the power of death but can still display such a powerful talent for natural transformation is proof of that."
In fact, Grandma Cassandra, as the great witch of "darkness", never showed any dark side at all, which is what is really scary.
“If you are obsessed with the things in your dreams, think about whether something more interesting will happen in reality.”
Flora Winslet looked at Shade without hesitation:
"What exists in the dream also exists in reality. But I am the only one in the dream."
She looked at the other people who were busy. Bella Belindel was talking with Luvia at the Chocobo Camp, Emma Sylvia was answering Dorothy's questions about the technique of opening the portal, and Vanessa Benanis and Grace Helen were protecting the girl who was conducting the investigation and sampling. Everyone had something to do.
