Chapter 2987: Disaster of the Moon - Crazy Moon
"Ask me?"
The witch with gray-black hair held the teacup and organized her words:
"To be honest, I initially developed a fondness for Shade because I felt safe around him. This was before I realized that the warmth of his soul was enough to fill the void in my soul. He is very reliable. Although I don't like to rely on others, it's nice to have a reliable person around me.
You all know the series of things that happened afterwards. Before we knew it, our affection for each other grew, and it became like this."
There was a knock on the door, and then Miss Bell came in with a tray with a new teapot and some tea leaves on it. The witch wanted to make tea for herself.
She did not shy away from talking about this in front of her apprentices:
"We all agree that Shad is a nearly perfect person, in every way."
"Except for love life."
The red-haired girl pointed out, but Flora had a different opinion:
"I think it's better this way."
Seeing her friend raised an eyebrow, she explained:
"Don't you have this feeling? We can't hold him down by ourselves. After knowing him, I always feel that he will suddenly fly away one day and never come back, Charlotte. Do you have this feeling?"
So the pale girl answered the teacher's question honestly:
"Mr. Hamilton is different from everyone we know. He always looks up to the sky. Maybe one day the sky will answer him back."
Flora nodded in agreement:
"So if we don't add a few more ropes to firmly tie up the soul that always gazes at the moon, he will one day fly higher."
The red-haired girl seemed to be thinking about something, and then she chatted with Flora about what happened after the incident in Vista Glade.
At about 7:20 that evening, the "Red Moon Witch" who had been chatting and laughing with the witch suddenly frowned, then held the armrest of the sofa and looked out the hotel window.
At the same time, Miss Orlanod, who was discussing the divination results with Luvia and Bella on the ship, also looked directly upward from the cabin at the bottom of the cabin. It seemed that her sight could penetrate several layers of the ship's planks and directly see the starry sky outside.
Megan and Audrey were on duty on the ship tonight. On the deck, enjoying the breeze, they were laughing with Grandma Cassandra about the two sisters who were taking in "The Redeemer's Lament". They looked up at the starry sky above their heads a little later than the ladies who belonged to the "Moon".
With a slight bang, Sylvia jumped directly onto the deck. Almost at the same time, Miss Elither's figure walked out from the twisting air.
Everyone on the deck looked up at the same time. The moon was no longer in the position where March was originally. Instead, a huge dark crack appeared there. Behind the crack, the blood-red color gradually turned from dots to an abnormal brightness.
The blood-red light gradually illuminated Lake Yuren, and then the entire Vista Forest. When more and more local ring sorcerers looked up at the starry sky, the bright red blood moon that emerged from the black crack had already dyed the entire starry sky red.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the starry sky might just turn slightly red, but in the eyes of the ring wizards, the night sky above their heads is gradually turning into a dim dark red as the crack expands, and the twinkling stars all turn into bright red.
When bright red stars twinkle in the dark red sea of stars, this strange and terrifying scene will make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts even if they just take a look at it. And when the bright red blood moon behind the crack and the starry sky dye the earth with scarlet, in this red world, some basic rules seem to be quietly changing.
Footsteps came from the entrance of the Radiant Messenger's cabin, and the witches in the cabin walked out quickly. Luvia, Bella, and Miss Orlanod appeared together, and when they left the cabin, they saw that the people on the deck seemed to have turned into "blood men".
When the purple eyes saw the blood-red moon, they felt a slight headache, and some strange memories suddenly came to their mind. The earth turned into a mass of real flesh and blood, and the people bathing in the blood moon turned into deformed pieces of flesh amidst the howling. All entities were oozing blood and merging with each other, and finally.
【Xia De mentioned this matter.】
The "other me" in her ear suddenly interrupted Luvia's thoughts about that strange memory, and she also remembered what Shade said:
"The disaster of the moon - the crazy moon! The blood moon gave the world a scarlet color, and everything was distorted and turned into crazy flesh and blood! Shade heard about it in the local black market. A hundred years ago, a similar thing happened in the area of Ximu Town (Chapter 2545). The astrologer Euclid also predicted in his notebook in 1750 that the "crazy moon" would appear in the Vista Forest area in 1760!"
Luvia's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in this scarlet world, and the increasingly clear blood moon in the increasingly larger black crack in the night sky was like an eye watching the entire world.
(Little Mia is running.)
"Good evening, Mr. Masked Man."
Stepping into the time transfer station, Shad spoke to the man standing behind the counter in a somewhat brisk tone. He thought that after the wonderful card game last time, the two of them should barely be considered strangers, but Bennett, who was wearing a mask, still spoke in a cold tone:
"Normally people who come here don't call me 'the masked man', that's just ridiculous."
"So what should I call you? Station Master?"
"The owner can."
He came out from behind the counter holding the old kerosene lamp. This time, Xia De did not sit down:
"I'm ready, let's go now. Let me make it clear first, I've already paid the Sands of Time as compensation for this short time journey, so you can't bring me another contract to sign."
The masked man had no objection to this:
"Then please go up the stairs. The door to 1819, where Anthony Winslet went, has been opened for you. You can only stay there for a maximum of 24 hours. During this period, you can return to the place where you appeared and return to the time transfer station."
But Shade shook his head:
"I have changed my mind. I will not go in the winter of 1819, but in the summer of 1821."
He gave the date when he had last parted with Lady Helena Carter in the rain:
“I have investigated these days, and neither Anthony Winslet nor the childhood playmate he wanted to save appear in today’s era, which means that the ‘rescue plan’ in the winter of 1819 must have failed.
I don't know what happened at that time, nor do I know what the clues to the suspected childhood playmate found by Anthony Winslet in the local area more than ten years ago are, but I will definitely not go there again. It is better to choose a date in a year and a half and try my luck then. "
The masked man hesitated for a moment, then nodded again:
"That's fine. But I suspect that your claim to be going to see Anthony Winslet was just an excuse from the beginning. You didn't intend to go to 1821?"
"Does my purpose have anything to do with whether you open the door?"
"It doesn't matter. Since you have paid the appropriate fee, you should get the service of the Time Transfer Station. The effective time is still 24 hours. If you fail to return within 24 hours, I will not tell you what will happen.
Also, try not to leave too many traces in the past, because it doesn’t belong to you after all.”
"I see."
So the masked man holding an oil lamp led Xia De to the stairs. Xia De looked up and walked up the stairs.
He had walked the stairs from the first floor to the second floor of the Accordion Hotel many times, but this time when he turned the corner and looked up, what he saw was not the scenery on the second floor, but endless darkness.
He continued to walk forward in the darkness, the light behind him gradually extinguished, until the stairs became completely unknown. He counted the number of steps and found that it had exceeded the original 8, but the stairs in front of him were still extending forward.
When he counted to 80 in his mind, a light appeared higher up; when he continued to count to 99, the light in front of him engulfed him.
The sound of heavy rain appeared almost instantly, and at that moment Xia De felt that he was completely soaked by the rain.
The light faded, and the alley scenery of Vista City on a rainy summer day appeared before him, while the dark square door on the alley wall behind him gradually disappeared.
"It felt so stable just now, there was almost no sense of sluggishness when traveling through time. Except for the absence of white fog, this was almost the same as traveling through time using the Time Key."
The stranger had a new idea about the origin of the "time transfer station" function. Of course, he did not forget to take out the umbrella from his pocket, opened it, and walked forward a few steps to the alley entrance.
After carefully examining the street scene, he realized that there was no one on the street due to the rain. He recognized that this was probably the "Gray Brothers Street" in the northeast old town of Vista in 1854. He passed by here when he took a carriage from outside the city.
"Why did you put me here?"
This place is not close to any place related to the clues of "Anthony Winslet", but fortunately, Shad came here not only to look for Flora's uncle.
As he looked towards the outside of the city, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.
"Shad, if I calculated the time correctly, you've only been gone for half an hour, right?"
There was only a rustling sound in the woods in the rain, and amid the sound, Shad, who had his hand on the thick tree where the tree hole was located, turned around and saw the black-haired sorceress who was still wearing a sun hat on a rainy day walking towards him.
She didn't hold an umbrella, and all the raindrops automatically avoided her. Her black women's boots didn't leave any footprints in the mud, and she was still so elegant and gentle.
"Yes, I'm sorry I'm here again."
Although he said this, there was no apology on Shad's face, and Ms. Helena Carter certainly did not have a reproachful expression on her face. She smiled and asked:
"Are you still here just to chat with me this time, or do you want me to help you with something?"
