Whispering Poems

Chapter 1298 Night

Fortunately, before Fiona entered here, Miss Fei Lianna had considered the problem of the impassability of the night.The red dragon girl told Xia De to turn around, and then Xia De heard a rustling sound behind him.

When I turned around again, I saw Fiona holding a black tulle in her hand, and the latter explained with a reddish face:
"This is an alchemy item made by Miss Fei Lianna herself, the imitation of the 'Eternal Night King's Curtain'. With this curtain, you can move around the city, but every time you move, you can only reach the vicinity of the target location. So it's not absolutely safe."

Most of her other luggage was lost, and this piece of fabric was one of the few remaining items, apparently well hidden.Of course, Xia De didn't ask where the cloth was hidden earlier.

"But please don't worry, passing through the curtain will not directly let us step into the night. If that place is not what we want to go, we can go back through the curtain."

The two finished cleaning the meals on the table, and the set of porcelain tableware disappeared in the white mist.Then Fiona found her small package from behind the counter, which contained the few remaining potions and spell-casting materials.After packing up, she didn't set off immediately. Fiona, who has rich survival experience, looked through the menu again and planned to buy one of the items:
"Take this and go, we need this in the long night."

[Eternal burning candles can maintain light for 3 years after being lit, and can also maintain light for 10 seconds in the night of Eternal Night City. 】

[In the long night, the most important material for mortals. 】

【Fresh isolated blood is required. 】

"I'm here to buy this!"

This time she said in an irrefutable tone:

"Every store with a signboard can only buy three candles at most. I have bought them many times. Xia De, I am a half-blooded red dragon. My self-healing ability is stronger than yours. Please don't worry about me."

A metal syringe with a needle automatically appeared on the counter. She walked over first, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed her smooth arm with a bracelet.Her skin is so fair that the pores are barely visible:
"Shad, please help."

Xia De hesitated and picked up the syringe:

"Just like you said to me, if you can't bear it, please let me continue."

Fiona nodded slightly, and Shad thrust the syringe into her skin, giving Shad the feeling that he was destroying art.

The syringe does not need him to operate at all, but draws blood automatically.Xia De didn't know how fast it sucked blood, but judging by Fiona's face, the syringe was obviously merciless.The big tail curled up subconsciously, then wrapped around Xia De's right ankle, and then shrunk like a python trying to strangle its prey.

Shad knew she was trying to express her pain, so she said nothing despite the pain in her ankle.He took Fiona's other hand, unexpectedly, the red-haired girl plunged into his arms, her head trembling slightly against Shade's chest.

The sound of the rain was pattering, and the light of the fireplace caused the shadows of the two to rub together.Xia De hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to hug her.None of them spoke, only the clock by the wall was spinning counterclockwise quickly and incomprehensibly.

After 4 minutes and 32 seconds, the syringe voluntarily detached from Fiona's arm, and landed on the table with a clang.But instead of pushing Xia De away, the red dragon girl hugged him with both arms.

Since she couldn't see her face, Shad could only tell from her voice and trembling movements that she was probably sobbing.

He patted the young girl's back lightly, and then felt that the big tail wrapped around his ankle was finally loosened:
"It's okay, I will accompany you to the end until I get you out of here safely."

The tree father's task was only to ask Shad to help Fiona find the God of the Night, but Shad made an additional promise.

"I swear, I will absolutely accompany you as much as possible to let you leave safely. Miss Fiona Drago, I seldom make promises, please believe me."

He felt that the red dragon girl was wiping tears with his clothes:

"I'm not afraid of here, just just"

She looked up at Shad, who understood:
"I understand that being alone in these circumstances is unbearable for anyone. I could leave after all, but you can't. I know what you think, and I know how you feel. Do you know that, the first time I When she met your teacher, Miss Olan Nord, in the Forest of Thousand Trees, she also showed her own vulnerability, after all, we were only mortals at the time, but Miss Fei Lianna was with her, but you are the only one here."

He comforted softly:
"You're under too much pressure, and the night in the city is absorbing positive and positive thoughts. Look at me, Miss Fiona Drago."

The two looked at each other closely, Xia De said seriously:

"I will accompany you to the deepest part of the city, and then send you out safely. Can you trust me?"

"Yes."

She nodded slightly, and then heard Xia De say nervously:

"Don't say I said what I said to Miss Olanode just now."

The young girl showed a slight smile. Although the night was getting dark, she was inexplicably no longer worried.

Three golden ever-burning candles were taken, Shade opened the door of the cafe, and Fiona quickly hung the black curtain on the lintel.

The two held hands, and then rushed towards the black curtain sideways as if they were about to smash the glass.

After crossing the curtain, they did not enter the dark street, but came to a dark alley.

It was still raining at night, and the alley was extremely narrow, but luckily there was no rubbish.The cipher texts of the past era were densely written on the wall in various languages. Xia De even saw a secret ceremony called [Random Evil God Invite God Art], which made him look away immediately in fright.

The reason why the writing on the wall can be seen is because there is also light here.Behind the two, the curtain that was gradually wet by the rain floated in the air, and on the right side of the two, lay a humanoid creature wrapped in beggar's clothes by the wall.His appearance is human, but except for the eyes, any senses are reminding Shad that this is definitely not human.

A bowl filled with oil was placed at the beggar's feet, and the wick was hanging by the bowl, with a flame the size of a broad bean, but it illuminated this small area.

The beggar wanted to speak, but Fiona's face changed, and she pulled Shade back to the cafe:
"No! This thing is [Flip Soul]!"

"What flips the soul?"

Xia De and Fiona retreated together. After returning to the cafe, the red dragon girl immediately retracted the curtain, as if worried that beggars would follow:

"The soul of the ring warlock who committed suicide was reversed. The teacher and Miss Fei Lianna called this kind of soul a 'reversed soul'. This kind of soul changed the inner side of the soul to the outer side, and the outer side to the inner side. At this painful moment, And the huge change in personality after the soul flip is enough to make any normal soul go completely insane. The teacher has done research on this and warned me never to come into contact with such people.”

Then the curtain was hung up again, and the two held hands and rushed through the curtain for the second time.This time they appeared on the street where it was raining at night, and the lights of "Twilight Pawn Shop" behind them were on the outside of the window, leaving them a small safe area.

"Look over there!"

Shad pointed to the diagonally opposite side of the street, and the old signboard of "Midnight Watch Shop" was clearly visible in the lights of the shop.

"This is it!"

Fiona nodded cautiously, ignoring that she was getting wet, and warned Xia De:
"Even with candles on, when we rushed into the night, the night would still try to pull us into the darkness. I was injured in the process and I was trapped in the cafe."

"What kind of attack will it be? A monster in the night? A whisper that lures us to deviate in the right direction? Or something else."

"I can't describe it in words, but please hold my hand."

The red dragon girl took back the black curtain, which meant that the two of them could no longer return to that warm and comfortable cafe.

"Are you ready?"

Fiona said softly, although she blushed a little, she still took off the pair of small black leather shoes in front of Xia De.After stripping off her identity as a cafe maid, the clothes on her body have not changed, so at this time, she is holding her shoes and wearing a white translucent fabric and standing directly on the ground covered with rectangular concave-convex stones, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

Xia De has tried it just now, [Eternal Night City] is the same as [Lost Lake] that forbids spatial movement, and Fiona's pair of shoes that match the maid skirt are not suitable for running.

Just as Xia De wanted to remind her that he had spare shoes, Miss Red Dragon rubbed her right index finger and middle finger, and lit the first candle with the golden flame:
"go!"

The two held hands and ran towards the lighted building together. When they left the light of the pawn cabinet window behind them, the thick night almost immediately "swamped" the two of them.But fortunately, the candle emitting bright golden light opened up a small safe area for them.

One candle lasts for ten seconds, and three candles last for 30 seconds.However, protecting two people at once seemed to make the candle burn faster than expected.The red dragon girl holding a candle noticed this, and looked at Xia De who was holding her hand from the corner of her eye, and she had already made up her mind.

But for Xia De, the bone-deep cold rushed from the soles of his feet to his whole body at this moment, and at the same time, he actually felt abnormal sleepiness.The exhaustion of the body reached its peak in an instant, and every time I raised my legs, I felt like my shoes were stuck to the ground with glue.

The night was calling to him, calling him to be part of it.
