Whispering Poems

Chapter 1954 [Long sleep in the cold dream]

"so cold"

At the Green Lake Hotel, Adelina, who was holding the cat and looking at the bonfire in front of her, nodded her head suddenly, and then regained consciousness, realizing that she had fallen asleep just now.

The little princess was so tired today. She was so frightened and nervous that she fell asleep sitting by the campfire at some point.After waking up at this moment, I immediately felt that the surroundings were unusually cold.He opened his mouth and sighed softly, only to find that when he spoke, white mist came out of his mouth. This is a phenomenon that only occurs in winter:
"What's going on here?"

The cat in her arms was still being hugged by her, and now that the surroundings were extremely cold and even the flames in front of her could not provide warmth, the cat looked extraordinarily warm.

Worried that the cat would be frozen, the kind-hearted Agelina even wanted to tuck it into her clothes, but Mia struggled and refused.

She looked around, the rain was still falling outside the window, but she was the only one left beside the three dim bonfires on the first floor of the hotel.The temperature seemed to have dropped below freezing, and the slippery ground and tabletops were covered with frost, which made Agelina, still wearing summer clothes, feel even colder.

"Where did the others go?"

She shivered and stood up, but she felt that this would expose a larger area of ​​her body to the cold and make her feel even colder.He reached out to touch the flame in front of him, but even if he put his hand completely into the flame, he didn't feel any warmth.

She felt that apart from the cold, there was another kind of "cold" that made her soul tremble, made her body stiff, and made her feel dizzy while having a headache.The whispering element made this ordinary 17-year-old girl feel serious discomfort. At this time, the only thing that comforted her was that the cat in her arms was still there, so that she would not be completely alone.

I wanted to look around and see what happened this time, but when I tried to raise my legs, I realized that my body was too stiff to move.

She wanted to cry aggrieved again, but she thought that there was no sister, no Xia De, and no mother here, even if she cried, no one would see her, so she held back.She pursed her lips and looked around with red eyes, and then in the darkness at the stairs, she saw a figure in a shabby black robe walking towards her, and stretched out her right hand inside the robe to her.

For some reason, Adelina immediately thought of the god of death often mentioned in the story.She wanted to back away helplessly, and then realized that her body had become more rigid:

"Am I going to die?"

The young princess thought in her heart, and then thought that she still had a lot of things to do, and thought that she had promised to help Xia De take care of the cat, and thought that Leiziya would be very sad if she found out that she died, so she decided that she must not die like this Lose.

She tried her best to control her body and wanted to avoid the hand stretched out in the darkness, but found that the surrounding light was getting darker and darker, and she found that the chill was getting heavier and heavier. She even felt that her eyelashes were covered with frost.

I want to use up my last strength to throw the cat out of my arms, so that the cat can survive at least.But the lazy cat that finally felt a little cold suddenly threatened the black figure in front of him at this moment:

"Meow~"

It gritted its teeth and barked with a "fierce" look on its face.Seeing that the black shadow was still approaching, the cat coughed a few more times, and when it barked again, a small orange flame spewed out of its mouth.

The flame was very small, inconspicuous at all compared to the temperatureless flame behind Adelina.But when the flame appeared, Adelina felt that her stiff body and her soul, which was about to sink deeper into the darkness, seemed to be thrown under the midsummer sun.

The hot feeling not only let her get rid of the negative state, but even felt the heat.

The black shadow in front of him immediately stepped back, seeing that his "threat" had an effect, the cat, who had always bullied the weak and shy of the tough, suddenly became more energetic.It meowed and wanted to jump out of Adelina's arms, and continued to pounce on the retreating shadow, but fortunately Adelina hugged it tightly.

But seeing that the cat was still struggling vigorously, he had no choice but to take the initiative to take a step forward.As expected, the black shadow continued to retreat even faster, which made the cat even more excited. It continued to make sounds from its throat.

In the end, Adelina, who was holding Little Mia, forced the black figure to the stairs.When she was still about to move forward, a hand held her down from behind, and then Adelina by the fire woke up.

Opening his eyes in confusion, he saw the beautiful face of his great-aunt Galina Cavendish, looking at her with a worried expression.

Luvia and Rezia stood aside, Dorothy was covering her with a blanket, and the cat in her arms was struggling and screaming, obviously feeling that she was holding her too tightly:

"Auntie, Miss Anat, am I... asleep? Oh! Auntie, you are finally back!"

"A clerical-level relic [eternal sleep in a cold dream]. You have fallen into the relic. If you are not awakened in time, you will eventually freeze to death in the dream. Don't recall that cold dream, it's okay, it's okay."

The red-haired duchess gave her a hug in worry, and patted her on the back with her hands.This made Adelina think that she was still in a dream again. In her memory, she never remembered her aunt hugging and comforting herself like this.Therefore, when Miss Galina let go of her and asked her if she felt uncomfortable, she didn't know how to answer.

"If it's a dream now, it's fine, everyone treats me very well."

However, she did not forget the dream just now, but was deeply impressed by it.Although it was indeed extremely cold at the beginning, she did not remember that she almost froze to death in the end.Even, if it wasn't for being woken up, maybe even more unexpected things would happen later.

He took the potion-added teacup handed over by Lesia and glanced at the first floor of the hotel, which was half fog and half light.Although it was still dark and it was still raining heavily outside, she felt inexplicably at ease when she saw so many ladies here and the people who cared about her.

Agelina quietly looked at the cat she was holding in her arms again, and Mia fell into a drowsy sleep again, and no one knew whether it was really asleep or was faking it again.The little princess is not sure whether the abnormal behavior of the cat in the dream is her imagination, after all, she doesn't understand why there is a cat in her dream.

But soon she hugged the soft cat and convinced herself:

"Are dreams and reality really that important? What I think is true is true."

Huddled by the fire with a blanket on, sipping tea comfortably.Amidst the crackling sound of the flames burning, there seemed to be another voice saying in the bottom of my heart:
【reality. 】

"Miss, you are back."

Tifa, with water still dripping from her hair, walked out of the door. The duchess looked at her head maid and apprentice with a smile:
"Come back, hope it's not too late. You're doing well."

After taking care of Agelina, Miss Galina and Luvia, who had just returned from the second floor, simply learned about the current situation from Tifa.They knew that Shad had left fifteen minutes ago, and that Shad's friends, the doctor and the priest, had set out not long ago to find him.

Miss Galina is more concerned about where Xia De is now, while Luvia cares about other things.

So while the witch was communicating with her apprentice, she found Leizia and Dorothy alone:

"Before Shade left, did he say anything to you?"

The red-haired princess and the blond-haired Miss Writer exchanged glances:
"Shad said, don't let us leave here easily."

Luvia pursed her lips, pinching the last [Homeland Coin] in her hand, wondering if she wanted to do a divination now, and whether Xia De's worst plan for tonight was the same as what she thought.But before she could make a decision, Miss Galina walked over:
"Luvia, it was really hard work for you to help with divination just now. You take a break here, Xia De needs help now, and I'm leaving now."

Luvia also knows that even if she rushes over, she won't be able to help much, and waiting here, she should be able to usher in other witches soon:
"Okay, let me see where Shade is now."

"Can you divine Shade's location?"

The witch asked curiously, and Luvia shook her head:

"Of course not, but he has my handkerchief with him today."

The red-haired witch had a teasing expression on her face, but the purple-eyed fortune-teller pretended not to see it:
"Although the divination may be biased, the general direction should be fine. Huh? Didn't he go to Edwards' old house? Why is he on the shore now?"

"That's the shore."

Saying that, he greeted the girls on the first floor, and then went straight into the rain.

Miss Galina didn't doubt Luvia's judgment, so although the direction she pointed was quite remote, she still headed there in the heavy rain.

Facts have also proved that Luvia once again proved herself correct.Just less than 3 minutes after leaving the hotel, the red-haired witch jumped onto the tree and saw a huge red moon rising in the fog in the distance, but then immediately fell to the lake:

"Shad."

She quickly approached that direction, because she couldn't move quickly in the fog to avoid being trapped in a state of spatial confusion, so it took a few minutes to leave the woods and come to the shore, watching Shad on the beach kick up a huge giant falling from the sky Snowball, that snowball immediately turned into solid ice and fell into the lake, and then the violent explosion shattered the black shadows in the water who hadn't landed yet.Flesh and mechanical parts floated on the surface of the water, but were soon overwhelmed by monsters floating up from the lake.

With a card in his hand, Xia De looked at the scene seriously. The continuous stream of water ghosts is nothing to worry about.The key is that the "door" he perceives is at the bottom of a deep lake.At the bottom of the lake, a huge monster like a whale guards it.
