Chapter 3143 Dream in the Snow
"Yes, yes, I remember it. Maybe after the next time key is opened, the quest reward given by the Tree Father will be related to the Word of Sublimation. Or I can go to the Night Temple tonight to seek enlightenment."
Shade felt that this matter was not urgent, so Iluna asked the same question as Danister while holding a teacup:
"Is this still a summoning word of sublimation?"
"Not sure, let's talk about it later. The most important thing in the past two months is to prepare everyone's year-end gifts. Do you want anything?"
Luvia kicked Shade lightly and said in a somewhat reproachful tone:
"How can you ask directly? Girls prefer the feeling of surprise."
In addition to everyone's gains, Luvia thought that the biggest surprise this time was that Shade successfully reached an alliance with the elves through Emilia. In fact, after the Moon Bay incident, she had always regretted not being able to formally contact the dragons of Dragon Island. Although the blood-sucking species were equally ancient, they were not united at all.
But this time, Shad truly got the support of an entire ancient race, and Luvia believed that this would be helpful for many things in the future.
"The Whispering Poem has reached its eighth chapter, and only the last third is left. Shade, Iluna, please raise your glasses to celebrate our journey to this point. There may be more challenges ahead, and I believe we will continue to walk hand in hand."
Luvia motioned for everyone to raise their teacups. When the three teacups touched each other, the girl with long hair felt that this ending might really be very different from the past.
Today is Monday and Luvia has to go to work, so she drank the tea and left. Although Iluna also has to go to Blackstone Security Company, she is not in a hurry, so Shade took her to visit the new door of the house. Although Iluna also has the spirit rune related to time, she has no interest in using the time key for exploration:
"I have had enough adventures in the present time and space. I will leave the matters of the past time and space to you."
Not much happened during the day on this Monday. Leithia sent the maid to prepare lunch, and Dorothy left home at three o'clock in the afternoon to go to the Steambird Newspaper Office.
Emilia, who was frowning as she read and wrote a paper, didn't say goodbye to Shade until before dinner. Shade wanted her to stay for dinner, but the elf, who looked haggard, rejected her with regret:
"I have an elective class tonight. I will go to class right after I eat in the school cafeteria. Then I have to go back to the dormitory to prepare for the alchemy experiment. I just found out yesterday that the dwarven alloy that was placed in the rune calciner three months ago has been annealed. See you at the weekend, Shade. I will come to see you after I meet with the representatives sent by the Five Gods Church to the academy. Your black tea is delicious."
So Xia De kindly reminded:
"Of course it's right to study hard, but you don't have to worry so much about exam week. When the time comes, admit to Miss Danister that you don't have enough time and show that you have tried your best. She will help you find a solution."
It's just a pity that Emilia didn't understand Shade's hint.
Tonight, Resia and Ajelina accompanied Queen Diana to the banquet. Dorothy went home to eat with her family. Luvia had said earlier that she would eat directly at the association and would be back very late, so she sent Emilia away. Shad found that he and the cat were the only ones left at home:
"Want to see the opera, Mia?"
"Meow?"
Shad thought it wanted to see, so he took the cat to the girls of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe. The troupe had a performance tonight, so it was early for dinner. When Shad saw Hillis, they were preparing dinner, so there was an extra seat for Shad at the table.
It happened that Shade was planning to go to the Randall Valley tonight, so during dinner he asked Hillis if there was anything he could help with. Hillis then asked Shade to help take two letters to the girls of the Forgotten Church, asking them to clean up the manor where the troupe lived in advance.
"I received a letter from Vanessa yesterday, Shade. You promised her that you wouldn't let her stay here with you for the New Year's Eve, right?"
The blonde young girl asked as she sat next to Shade. There were six people sitting at the round table, so it wasn't too crowded.
"Vanessa said that you can't return home alone."
"Didn't you try to keep her? She can't leave us, so can you leave her?"
Hillis asked somewhat unhappily, and Shade winked at her:
"I would also like to invite you to stay and celebrate the New Year together, but you will not let the opera troupe go back alone. Since I can't force you to stay, Hillis, why do you think I can force Vanessa to stay?"
So the blonde had nothing to say, but when Shade was about to leave after dinner, she pulled Shade to a secluded corner:
"Do you think our relationship is moving too slowly?"
"Why do you think so?"
"I also want to stay and spend the New Year's Eve with you."
The girl gave him a gentle kiss:
"Shad, you helped me find my father's trail. After you held my hand in the Randall River Valley, my feelings for you will never be weaker than Vanessa's."
After dinner, Mia always seemed very "generous", which was reflected in the fact that she would not object to most of what Shade did. So Shade often chose to "walk the cat" after dinner, but this night he still couldn't call the cat away from the warm fireplace at home - winter nights were obviously not suitable for the fragile and poor cat to travel.
The Randall River Valley in the south of the Old World had a heavy snowfall not long ago, and it was still snowing lightly tonight. When Shade had delivered the letter to the city, he climbed the steep stairs in the cave outside the city and walked out of the cave on the side of the cliff. What he saw was the forest dyed silver in the night.
Although both are forests, the Vista Woodland and the Randall River Valley are very different. The forest land near the capital is flat, and the forest seems endless when you stand on a high place; while the terrain of the Randall River Valley is slightly more complicated, and because it is located in the southwest corner of the old continent with a monsoon climate, the forest scenery is particularly distinct throughout the year.
The snowflakes tonight were dense but not hurried. The three broken arches in the temple were still the same as when Shade left last time, except that they were all covered with snow. After passing through the arches and arriving at the open space at the end of the "Night Temple", Shade cleared the snow on the ground, revealing the sun, moon and stars ritual array.
Xia De took out the "Moon Tear" and saw that the moon was not completely covered by the dark clouds. He calmed down and twisted the earring with his right hand and pointed it at the silver moon in the night sky. The moonlight became a little crystal after passing through the "Moon Tear", but it was still so cold and gentle:
"Nothing has changed, so what do we do next?"
"She" smiled softly:
[It's just a suggestion for you to come here. It's up to you to decide what to do. Remember? I don't know things that you don't know.]
The moonlight penetrated the "Moon Tears" in his hand and sprinkled on his face which was blown by snowflakes. The pure silver was also his favorite color.
【Compared to purple eyes? 】
"I prefer Luvia's eyes."
"She" still smiled gently, as if facing an angry little boy.
Seeing that there was no response when he pointed [Moon Tears] at the moon, Xia De tried to use "Light Magic" to make the silver ball of light float in the palm of his hand, and then placed the crystal earring inside the ball of light to hold it up, but it still didn't work.
"Ha~"
At this moment, he yawned and inexplicably felt sleepy. Xia De did not try to dispel the sleepiness, but simply sat down with his legs crossed in the center of the ritual formation of the sun, moon and stars.
"Ha~"
He yawned again, clasped his hands together in front of him, and the Moon Tears emitted a faint light between his palms. He kept this posture and closed his eyes, and then he felt sleepy, and he lowered his head in the snow and fell into a deep sleep.
After the consciousness fell into the chaos of dreams, even the thoughts began to become dull. Strange and blurry scenes flashed by one after another, but they only remained in the consciousness for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
The gentle moonlight embraced him, and his figure rose from the chaotic light to the cold starry sky. The silver figure embraced the sleeping stranger. The moon was them, and they were also the moon.
Someone seemed to be whispering in his ear, as if someone was singing. In his trance, Shade felt that this feeling seemed to have appeared before, a long time ago, even longer than when he first opened his eyes at No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square.
He wanted to see clearly who was hugging him in the starry sky, but he couldn't open his eyes and all his perceptions were confined to his body.
So he fell asleep again in that gentle but slightly cold embrace. The whispers and chants in his ears gradually disappeared, and in the end, only loneliness and solitude were left.
After a long time, when the cold night wind mixed with snowflakes from the cliff woke up the sleeping Xia De, he seemed to still be able to feel the tenderness of the cold embrace just now. When he looked up and looked around, he was still a little confused. After several seconds, he remembered what he was doing:
"I haven't slept so soundly in a long time."
But in reality he had only slept for less than two hours and it was now 8:30 p.m. on Monday.
Sleeping in a sitting position with his head down made his body a little sore, but with his current physical fitness, these minor problems would not be a big deal if he moved around. But when he looked at his clasped hands, the "Moon Tears" had disappeared.
Xia De did not feel surprised. He took a deep breath and stood up. He shook his body to let the snowflakes on his hair and shoulders fall to the ground. As he stretched, hot steam mist appeared silently behind him. Then, amid the sound of bells and whistles, the nine-ring life ring flashing with four-color spiritual light appeared.
Turning his head and looking behind him, the material of the brass ring in the snow has not changed, but it faintly exudes a translucent silver jade texture under the moonlight. This color change is very difficult to detect. If he is not the owner of the life ring, it is difficult to find the difference between this life ring and other life rings at a glance.
