Whispering Poems

Chapter 1390 Entering Eternal Night City Three Times

This week Mia was always taken outside by Shad, and now on the weekend, the cat had made up her mind and decided not to go out again.Therefore, as soon as Xia De opened the door after returning home, it got out of Xia De's arms, and then rushed directly to the third floor. Planetarium up and down.

So Shad had to go to Randall Valley by himself.When he came to the main hall of the Church of the Forgotten, he also glanced at the old photos of the Watson family next to the stone statue of Mr. Lasses, and thought about it before taking it away.

Borrowed a horse from the Wilde Opera Company, and then rode to Oxenfurt Manor outside the city.Due to the long distance, it was 02:30 in the afternoon when Shade crossed the small bridge and saw the distant view of Oxenfurt Manor in the distance of the slightly gloomy forest.

Stone Oxenfurt was still not at home this time. If he hadn't seen him appearing with his wife once, Shad sometimes even wanted to wonder if the two people were the same person at all.

In the deserted and slightly dilapidated manor, there are still only Mrs. Hayla Oxenfurt, the strange maid and the old housekeeper.Shad and Hella Oxenfurt still met in the familiar reception room. After the maid left the room, Shad handed her the letters and photos he had retrieved from Captain Woody:
"Your husband entrusted me to deliver this to the manor."

Haila Oxenfurt was still wearing a veil and a long black dress that looked like a nun's dress.

She took those things silently, and then put them on her lap to watch.

"I met Captain Woody and heard him chatting about the past between you and your husband. We used to be very affectionate?"

The eyes under the veil looked at Shad:

"I still love him."

The voice seemed to be colder than the previous few times.

"Well, I'm really sorry, I have a problem with my statement. Oh, and, six days ago, this Monday, I went to Watsons Manor."

Shad said again, but Haila Oxenfurt didn't respond this time, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"That's where your relatives lived."

Shad reminded.

"Yeah, I know."

said Hella Oxenfurt.

Xia De looked at her suspiciously:
"Maybe I'm nosy. I saw some ghosts in that house and heard them talk about the past. Three years ago"

"Should you have nothing else to do?"

The woman suddenly asked, Xia De was taken aback:
"Yes, it will be fine after delivering the things."

So Haila Oxenfurt stood up and left through the door.And the maid outside the door came in and signaled that Xia De could follow her to leave, and Xia De could only end the visit hastily:
"Did you see clearly just now?"

【Yes, even when I drove you away, I still had no expression on my face.This is not a deliberate indifference, facial muscle texture and pupils, without any slight surprise or sad emotional changes. 】

Although Haila Oxenfurt was wearing a veil, the veil was not very thick, so these details could be seen clearly.

"That's it, so, a new possibility has emerged."

Because he didn't actually stay at Oxenfurt Manor for too long, it was only around four o'clock when Shad returned to the city.He didn't stay in the city for long, but went home to concentrate on studying the memoir he found in the cave of the Temple of the Night.

When the book was opened in the study, the sky outside was still very bright, but by the time Mia jumped on the table to grab Rashad's hand, even the gas lamps in the Place Saint Teresa had already turned on:
"Time is so fast."

Xia De stretched, closed the book, and recalled the life story of Mr. Lehman that he just read.

That gentleman did take the three butterfly girls out of the worm cave, and it was probably for this reason that he still had memories after he left there.After leaving the cave, he moved his family to the Randall Valley area in the Fifth Era, and with the help of Sister Perry who was stationed there, the family spread out.

Schade didn't finish reading that thick memoir, but only read a third of it, when Mr. Lehman was 32 years old.It can be seen that his life has been very happy, living in the fifth era, this is probably the best ending.

He planned to spare time in the evening to simply go through the rest of the content.This may be helpful for visiting the old Graveyard of the Granger family tomorrow.

Dorothy went back to her parents' house for dinner today, and Rezia didn't have time to see Shad.The house seemed deserted, so Shade first went to Old John's pawn shop to get the paints that had been prepared for painting in the night, and then took Mia to the Randall Valley to find Luvia.

When he walked into the lively and warm Harvest Land Hotel from the winter night, Xia De was stopped by the hotel waiter again:

"Are you Mr. John Watson who rents at 302 on the third floor?"

Shad rented another room next to Luvia's because he needed a local contact address for someone like Oxenfurt to send letters to.

"Yes, I'm John Watson, what can I do?"

"Half an hour ago, someone sent you a package, please follow me to the counter to pick it up."

The package was delivered by a boy selling newspapers on the street, and his name was not left on the package.After Xia De opened the package, what he saw was a fairly delicate brass-colored jewelry box.After opening, the hexagonal white gemstone lay quietly in it:

"It was sent directly by someone."

Xia De touched the gem and was sure that it was what he was looking for, so he went up the stairs to find Luvia.

(Mia is running.)

Early Monday morning, the sun shone through the fetid fog that hung over the Randall Valley, and through the drawn windows, it shone into room 301 at the end of the third floor of the Fertile Land Hotel.

Beside the simple dressing table next to the big bed in the bedroom, Luvia, who had already changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs for dinner, was looking at her face in the mirror.The retractable cosmetic metal storage box that looked like an exhibition stand in her hand had been opened, but the purple-eyed girl hadn't figured out which one to use for a long time.

Every time she spends a night with Shad, she finds that she feels quite good, as if her whole body has been refreshed.

The sun shines on her body from the side, making her profile face very three-dimensional.Luvia admired herself in the mirror, and felt that those witches were nothing special.

And Xia De had already put on his coat at this time, walked back from the bathroom, and put Mia into a toy and put it in his pocket:
"Luvia, wait for me, we'll go downstairs for breakfast later."

He shook the time key in his hand, and Luvia still looked at herself in the mirror:
"Then go quickly."

She heard Xia De whispering in Elvish language, "May the World Tree bless me in infinite time", and heard a "click~" sound from the lock that should have no sound.

There was a creak~ the door was opened, and then the sound of Xia De's footsteps disappeared.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Time Corridor". 】

[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]

[Fifth Epoch 3028 autumn, Northern Continent, Eternal Night City. 】

[Event: The Whisper of the Curtain of Eternal Night. 】

[Duration 40 minutes (3/4). 】

[You have additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】

[The test given to you by the ancient god of time will continue. 】

[Help mortals break through the maze of eternal night and explore the truth behind the curtain. 】

[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you a reward: Miracle Spirit Rune - Night. 】

Stepping out of the door into the white mist, and then stepping out of the white mist into the dark and cold rainy night.

The smell of damp earth hit his face, but Shad didn't hate it.The city sleeping in the dark is still the same, and in front of Xia De is the signboard of the [Midnight Art Museum] that is wet by rain.

The rain quickly soaked Xia De's clothes, and the dots of flames on both sides of the street also quickly disappeared, making the night that seemed to make everything sleep peacefully gather towards Xia De.

This time, Xia De did not flee into the room in a panic, but watched the night getting closer and felt the power very similar to the "Night Temple".When the night was about to reach him, he pushed open the door of the art gallery and walked in.

Although the light inside the art museum is not comparable to the previous cafes and watch shops, at least after walking in from the rainy street, it feels very bright here.

Xia De looked at the corner of the wall, and there were glowing three-color brambles clinging to the simple fence, and in the center of the fence was a single-person tent.She could vaguely see the girl with the big tail curled up in the tent, but Fiona was still sleeping.

If Xia De's "Thorn of the Moon" is not canceled or destroyed by him, the casting effect will last until the next night.There is no day in Evernight City, and of course there is no next night.Therefore, theoretically speaking, this thorn can even exist into the next era.

Snapped!
After snapping his fingers lightly, the three-color thornbush turned into light spots and dissipated.Then Xia De restored Mia back, and then entered the fence.As for bringing this cat this time, it is because they still need to move in the Eternal Night City, and Mia's ability to shine will be indispensable to protect the safety of Xia De and Fiona.

Of course, the most important thing now is to wake Fiona up first.However, when Xia Dela opened the tent and saw the girl curled up and hugging her big tail, the small flame on the tip of her tail was still burning, but she herself did not wake up immediately like last time .

"Ok?"

At this moment, Fiona's whole body was covered with a layer of scarlet light, the nature of that light was quite familiar to Xia De, it was the moonlight representing the crimson moon.At the same time, Xia De noticed that the back of the red dragon girl seemed to be bulging.Under the clothes on the back, something was being restrained, and then he realized that it seemed to be a pair of small wings.
