Chapter 3123 The Witches’ Invitation
"I'm sorry, Shad, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Willendal. I'm also Margaret's personal physician and math teacher, and there are a lot of things that require me to attend to with her at the end of the year."
Sylvia was the first to apologize, and then Grandma Cassandra smiled and shook her head:
"You young people go and have fun. I'll stay at Castle Midhill. But Grace and Helen can go."
But the two sisters shook their heads:
"Zina, let's stay with you. We can go to the master's place anytime."
They knew that the witches were actually somewhat afraid of them, and besides, the two sisters usually only appeared when they had the Shard to themselves.
Surprisingly, Vanessa also refused:
"I'm so sorry, Shade. If Hillis were here, he might agree to it for me, but I can't stay in Tobesk alone and watch them return home. It's the tradition of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe to return to the Randall River Valley to rest every winter, and everyone in the troupe spends the New Year's Eve there together.
I'm sorry, Shad, that the company can't stay in Tobesk until the end of the year."
"It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate the holidays together in the future."
After Shade finished speaking, he looked at Megan and Bella:
"Then you two won't either."
"I'm sure there's no problem with that. Even if the Speaker asks me to help with something more troublesome, Megan and I will definitely go to your place."
Audrey said that since she recovered from her "illness", her mental state no longer occasionally got out of control, and the business of "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" managed by the two sisters was booming, and they no longer needed to bother to deal with things specifically.
As for Green Lake Island, although she also has her cousin, the zombie Nicholas Green, and twin nephews and nieces, Helena Green and Soren Green, the owners of the Green Lake Hotel, she also has her "elder" Rust Edwards in Tobesk, so it is normal for her to go to Tobesk to celebrate the holiday.
"Since Megan and Audrey can come, what about you, Bella? You are now the Speaker of the Moon Bay City Council. I remember that you will give a public speech on the year-end festival, right?"
Carina asked the Countess of the South again, but the latter smiled and shook her head:
"But I just need to speak, and I adjusted the time of my speech to the early morning of the year-end festival. Then Matilda and I will rush to Tobesk. Oh, the last time I went to Tobesk I had never been there! This year's year-end festival will definitely be very interesting!"
So there are five witches who will visit Shade's house at the end of the year, namely Carina, Megan Audrey, Bella, Flora and Xiwei. Although Shade is also very sorry that not everyone can be there, he is still very happy that this year will be more lively than last year.
【Do you remember how they celebrated last year? 】
"She" suddenly asked, and Xia De hurriedly suppressed the memory that was unconsciously surging up:
"That's not what I meant by lively."
Currently, there are three things left for Shad to do in Vestal Glade. The most important one is to help the church seal all the currently known "twisted tree holes". The church will probably be able to find all the tree holes tomorrow. Also, he wants to meet with the sorceresses of the [Secret Order of the Crescent Moon]. Perhaps this will allow him to find out about the girl with wolf ears.
The last thing left was the fact that Professor Yuk Wood had demonic power in his office at Vista University. He had written to the doctor, who would probably respond tomorrow. After checking the office with the doctor, the stranger's adventure in Vista Forest would be completely over.
The meeting with the alien sorceresses was arranged by the witches. Carina had already communicated with them and the meeting time was also scheduled for tomorrow. So after dinner, Shade, who thought he had nothing to do, wanted to find Dorothy and Flora to see how the sixth oil painting was going.
But halfway through the walk, he felt that he should not disturb the artists' creations, so he turned around and talked to Grandma Cassandra about the latest situation in Midhill Castle.
As soon as she turned the corner of the corridor, she saw Tifa walking towards her in a hurry. The black-haired maid was very graceful even when walking alone, with her hands folded in front of her. Although her pace was fast, the distance she took was almost the same as when she walked normally.
She was also a little surprised when she saw Shad, but that surprise soon turned into a smile on her face. Tifa stopped but said nothing, just hooked her finger at Shad, then turned and walked back the way she came.
Xia De naturally followed him, and the two of them continued to go down from the second floor of the cabin, all the way to the third floor of the cabin where the witch apprentices and followers lived. Even in its ordinary ship state before the accident, the Shining Messenger had 2224 passengers and 892 crew members at full capacity, so now it was natural that each of the girls could live in a single room.
Tifa led Shad into one of the rooms on the third floor. Although the room was not big, it had a separate bathroom and cloakroom, but unfortunately there was no separate bedroom. However, Shad recognized that this was Tifa's room after entering the room, not only because the whole room was filled with her scent, but also because he saw all kinds of clothes in the open closet.
The closet door closed automatically with a snap. The black-haired maid looked at him in a reproachful manner, a little angry but a little shy, but her big eyes were still seductive. Then the door closed behind Shade. Shade consciously walked up to her and hugged her, kissing her forehead gently. Just as he was about to make another move, he was pushed away by Tifa:
"How could you do that?"
The maid "scolded".
"Ok?"
Tifa folded her hands in front of her and took a step back, with a panicked expression on her face. Of course, more importantly, she was still smiling:
"Are you doing this to Miss Carina? Although I am the maid in the house and you are the master of the house, we cannot do this behind the young lady's back. This is immoral, Mr. Hamilton."
Shade immediately looked around, thinking that Carina would jump out from behind the curtains or the cloakroom the next moment. Because there were too many witches on the ship, the pendant on his chest had long lost its effect, but Carina was obviously not here.
He looked at Tifa in confusion again, and the girl in the black and white maid dress covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Kidding."
"but"
"I am very sorry, but I am afraid I cannot do it this time. The young lady asked me to give you this letter, and I am afraid you will be very busy in a little while."
She reached her hand to her chest and took out the letter that had her body temperature. After Shade opened it, he found that it was indeed written by Karina:
[Shade, I'm waiting for you at the Moon Sanctuary, come quickly.]
Shade looked up at Tifa. The black-haired girl had a bright smile on her face:
"My lady learned the secret of Miss Bryony Olannod's ascension to demigod this morning, so I would like to invite you to spend this evening with me."
"Then why did you just now?"
She took a few steps closer to Shade, stretched out her hands and hugged Shade's neck. Before leaning her head on Shade's shoulder, she nuzzled Shade's neck affectionately. The maid's perfume smelled very light, but very nice:
"Isn't this the fun of a maid having an affair with the male master of the house? And this can also be considered as warming up for the lady in advance."
"This"
"Go quickly, the young lady has been away for quite some time."
"But you"
"At most I'll let you feel it with your hands now, but I'm afraid you want more than that."
Biting her red lips lightly, she pushed Xia De away, stepped back with her hands behind her back, and tilted her head slightly. Her eyes, narrowed by her smile, seemed to speak at this moment:
"I'll find another opportunity."
A witch's sense of smell is very sensitive, especially when it comes to distinguishing the smell of perfume. If Shade really gets intimate with Tifa at this time, Jialina will definitely notice it.
He said goodbye to Tifa with regret, and Tifa winked at him playfully with her hands behind her back. Young girls like Ajeelina and Emilia would be playful when doing this, but when Tifa did it, it was more charming.
Of course, Xia De would not simply think that Carina asked him out just to admire the moon, so before leaving, he went to inform Luvia of his itinerary. After all, staying out all night for two consecutive days was not a good idea.
The purple-eyed girl was practicing divination in the room. After learning about Shade's schedule, she didn't say that he couldn't go. She just tried to hold back her laughter and reminded him:
"I knew they wouldn't give up. It seems that if Dorothy and I want to soak in the hot spring before we leave the woods, we must find another time."
"Luvia, would you like to go to the hot springs now?"
Xia De tried to suggest. The fortune teller understood his hint, raised her eyebrows, and smiled more:
"Forget it. I'll meet with Bella to discuss the strange star phenomena we observed during the polar night. Although I have passed the registered fortune teller assessment, I still have a lot to learn. And I dare not get involved in such things tonight. The witches are going crazy. According to the saying of our Draerion, it is irrational to compete with lions for food at any time."
"I noticed you used the plural."
Shade said, and Luvia blinked:
"You'll know when you get there. Oh, leave Mia on the boat. The night wind outside is very cold. There's no need to freeze her."
The night wind tonight was indeed very cold and strong. When the biting winter wind whistled through the forest, although he was not afraid of the cold winter, Shade still missed his own fireplace:
"I haven't lived at home for more than half a month. I really miss my bed."
He started from Lake Yuren, turned into a red butterfly and quickly entered the woods. Not long after he followed the direction of the silver light, the surroundings gradually showed the scenery of melting snow. The defense and illusion secrets from three different powerful spellcasters ensured that no one would mistakenly enter this place, and Shade, holding the note from Jialina, could pass through unimpeded.
He soon arrived near the hot spring, where even the wind was warm. The glowing pebbles caused by the witch's spell made the surroundings very bright, but the heat made everything smoky.
