Chapter 3287: "Demon Sword" Annihilation War
Following the direction of the white light, the two walked quickly forward, but because the distance was too far, by the time they got close, the light had disappeared. Although the light disappeared, it left a rather vague footprint on the snow.
If the other party is a physical entity, then it should have some way to fly or reduce its own weight. The footprints were very shallow, and Miss Reinhardt couldn't even tell whether they belonged to a human or an animal. It was even possible that the footprints were not left by the light just now.
"So what's going on? Clearly, no investigation has yielded any results in the past twenty years. Why did that ball of light appear as soon as we showed up? This is terrible. I'm not really the chosen one, am I?"
The distressed witch stood there looking into the distance, while Shade continued to squat on the snow and look at the shape of the footprints:
"Why does this shape look so much like Miss Reinhardt? Don't think too much about it. Maybe you are just unlucky."
"You won't be liked by girls if you talk like that."
She said with some dissatisfaction, and stretched out her hand to pull up the squatting Xiadra:
"It's getting late, so let's go back. This Sunday has passed like this, and it seems that we have done nothing of value except transporting my drunk father home."
"The fragment of poetry and the sword."
“Yes, it always feels like there are more and more things that need to be done, but fewer and fewer things that can be solved.”
Shad sent Miss Rhinehart back to the town of Kyle-Todd and said goodbye to her. Not long after he walked down the mountain path, an owl fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder.
"I thought you'd agree to go to dinner with Claire."
Miss Owl said this, and Shade, who was still thinking about the footprints, smiled and touched her wings. He planned to find time to go to Emilia to confirm the footprints later:
"Carina and Queen Diana are going to attend a very formal diplomatic banquet tonight, and Luvia and Dorothy are also busy and won't be coming to my place. If you have time, would you like to have dinner with me in Fartomonster?"
The owl jumped off the shoulder and turned into Flora with gray-black hair. Her expression was a little awkward:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't bring any formal clothes."
Girls from noble families are still very careful about such things, so Xia De shook her head:
"That's okay. How about I go to the restaurant and order the food, and then bring it back to Victoria Street and eat together?"
Flora smiled reservedly:
"Although Sylvia has been paying the gas bill for Victoria's house, can I request a candlelight dinner?"
"Of course, I would like to recommend you a local specialty called 'Golden Grilled Fish'. This is the most famous dish in the Wheel of Time City. I even think that Rhodes should have a special card for it."
The two held hands and walked towards the city under the setting sun. After their figures completely disappeared from the path, the owl holding the cat took off into the air and flew away slowly.
Apparently, even the witch of death could not appreciate the famous dish "corpse fish". After she tasted the dish under candlelight and learned how to make it, she puffed her cheeks and complained about Shade's "evil intentions".
The red wine glasses clinked on the table. In the almost empty dining room of the house, there was only a dining table for two people. Of course, the gas lamp was not turned on. After the sunset outside the window completely disappeared, in the reflection of the candle, Shad thought that Flora's face was becoming a little hazy, and Flora felt the same way.
So in order to see each other more clearly, the two of them unconsciously moved closer to the center of the table until they kissed each other.
The taste of "blood brew" lingered on her lips, and after the kiss, Flora's face became even more flushed:
"Although the coldness and emptiness of my soul have eased a lot after I was promoted to the twelfth ring, I still want to be with you more and feel your warmth more."
Unconsciously, Flora was sitting on Shad's lap and eating with him. They held each other's fingers with their left hands and fed each other with their right hands. This was the first time they were alone together since the story in the woods. Flora missed the time last autumn, but she also remembered that the "third person" last autumn acted faster than her - she had drawn it herself.
So after a full meal and a few glasses of red wine, the witch had some strange thoughts in her mind. But before the dinner was really over, when they were hugging each other and enjoying the dessert, there was a knock on the door.
Flora frowned in dissatisfaction, and reluctantly stood up from Xia De's legs and asked Xia De to open the door:
"Wait a moment."
She called Shade again and straightened his collar, and Shade walked to the door alone. After opening the door, he found that all the street lights on Victoria Street were on, and every neighbor's house had a gas lamp on. Under the lighted door lights, there was a very familiar girl - it was this young witch follower who came to report the rescue of the missing witch that night.
Although Xia De still didn't know the young girl's name, the girl was obviously very familiar with Xia De. After entering the door, she said as briefly as possible:
"Mr. Watson, the lady asked me to bring you a message - the sword attacked the Church of the Sun at 6:53 tonight, and the church led it to the snowy mountains as planned. According to the time calculation, it has almost entered the scheduled snowy mountain battlefield."
Xia De knew the entire plan, and naturally knew where the scheduled battlefield was:
"I thought it was postponed until next week. Lord [Sun Emblem] is also joining the battle, right?"
"I'm sorry, before I left, the town only received the news that the plan had begun, and I'm not sure about other things for now."
"Well, I will set off directly to the battlefield in the snowy mountains now. You should be careful when you return to Kyle-Todd Town alone."
So the young girl said goodbye and left, wondering why there was no light in the house.
Behind her, the owl grabbed the silver cat and flew out of the second-floor window, flying towards the deep blue sea of stars above the island, and finally disappeared into the background of the snow-capped mountains under the night sky.
It was impossible to tell from the air that an out-of-control angel-level relic had just appeared in the city. After "Owl Airlines" brought the cats to the snow-capped mountains, a sudden gust of wind blew Flora down from the sky.
The cat and the owl fell in a spiral, but before landing they both changed back into human form and fell into the snow like feathers.
The 12th level "Death" witch, who was held in the arms of Shade in a princess hug, complained:
"It's a restricted airspace area, and the Fatu people have set up a barrier against the snowy mountains. This time, not only are the flights of supernatural powers blocked, but even ordinary animals are not allowed to fly. It seems that the church is very concerned about the operation this time."
With her strength, it is certainly no problem to forcibly break through the restricted airspace, but they are not parties to the war, so there is no need to attract attention.
"Come on up, we need to be quick."
As Flora spoke, she turned into a pure white unicorn in the light again. Her golden horn glowed faintly, and even the strong winds around them were suppressed.
Shade's eyes were fixed on the unicorn's hoof. Flora thought Shade was looking at her tail, so she used her tail to shake him hard. Shade then raised his eyebrows in surprise, then turned into a cat and jumped onto her back:
"lets go."
The unicorn immediately ran forward at a speed close to the ground, and then Shade heard her whisper:
"You don't have to turn into a cat to do this."
The weather was still clear in the city and at the foot of the mountain, but after crossing the halfway point of the snow-capped mountain, heavy snow began to fall in the night. Even Shade was not sure whether this was a natural phenomenon or the church's preparation for tonight.
The unicorns climbed the mountain very quickly. When they could barely feel the fluctuations of the elements in the dark, the intensity of the battle did not seem to be very great. In other words, all the magic swords had not appeared together yet, and now should only be the trial stage.
The silvery white moon mist then covered the unicorn and the knight, and the fluttering red butterflies also provided light and shadow protection for the two. Even the unicorn was silently casting a spell, completely covering up the fluctuations of the two's souls.
Although Elder Harald and his men said they would not participate in the battle to contain the angel-level relic, Shad knew that not only the witches, but also the Fatu people would definitely watch this operation from a distance.
When Shade and Flora appeared on a higher mountain holding hands, not to mention the battle on the snow slope below, there were slight soul fluctuations in many places around them, even though there seemed to be no one around. This was Flora's unique reconnaissance method. She shared the scene she saw with Shade through telepathy:
"Claire's over there."
The gray-black-haired girl who was held in Xia De's arms and said she wanted to avoid the wind pointed to a cliff not far from where the two of them were. Xia De nodded slightly, maintaining the "Night Seal" to completely blend into the night.
He turned his sight to the battlefield below. The three great swords surrounded by black light in the night were so abrupt. The battle had indeed just begun, and the opponent of the magic sword was a team of ring magicians guarding a carriage.
The ring magic team consisted of a high-ring magician and six middle-ring magicians with an average level of 7th ring. The magic sword temporarily kept by the Church of the Sun was obviously in the carriage. As for the rumored 13th-ring female magician of the Church of the Sun [Sun Emblem], she had not appeared yet. She might have the ability to hide from Flora's perception. Shade guessed that she must be nearby.
Looking up at the night sky, although it was snowing in the mountains, the three moons were still bright in the ink-stained painting-like night sky. On such a night, Shade's power had almost reached its peak. If he had a chance tonight, he would prove to the magic sword that his [Moonlight Greatsword] was the strongest.
