Chapter 2604 Breakfast with the Elves (seeking votes at the beginning of the month)
Vanessa continued to take a step towards Shad, so that Shad changed from sitting on the edge of the bed to half lying on his back.

The witch looked down at her young and handsome lover, her face becoming even more rosy. She took off the glowing silver ring and placed it in her palm, then held it up and showed it to Shade:
"Karina shared with me some spells from your Pink Book some time ago. If I remember correctly, you should have learned the spell [Invisible Piercing Spell], right?"

This is a spell that requires spatial talent to learn. The prototype of the spell is the advanced spatial magic "Spear of Transition", which allows the thrown weapon to directly pass through the entity and touch the back. For example, if Shade throws a lightning spear and the enemy summons a wall to block it, then this spell can directly make the lightning spear jump behind the wall.

The [Traceless Piercing Spell] is a simplified version of the [Spear of Leap]. Its main purpose is to use a ring-shaped object to penetrate the surface of the human body finely. This is a space spell, so it will not actually cause wounds, and even retains the sense of penetration of the flesh by the ring-shaped object.

"How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"

"That's not necessary, is it?"

Xia De asked this while looking at the ring held in front of him, but the witch who was looking down on him did not agree. Her golden eyes were full of excitement:
"This is our token of love. I must wear it. No matter where you choose me to wear it, it's fine~Shade~"

After that, he held the ring and kissed Shade. The outsider must admit that he had a lot of strange imaginations at that moment. But in the end, he just tied Vanessa's soft golden hair with their engagement ring, and then pulled it a few times during the evening exercise.

【Lying is not a good habit~】

"Okay, that was a lot of pulling."

When Vanessa woke up in the middle of the night and curled up in Shade's arms before falling asleep, she complained a little about Shade:
"Carina told me that you always come up with all kinds of tricks in the bedroom, so why are you so reserved with me? Are you treating me and her differently?"

"I would refuse anyone who made that request."

Xia De kissed her still red and hot cheek:
"I am a person with a bottom line."

Vanessa whimpered as she looked into the pair of golden eyes filled with deep fatigue. Shade did not understand what she said. Anyway, she solemnly put the moonlight ring on her finger again, then stretched her arm upwards, letting her white arm, which seemed to be glowing, and the ring bathe in the moonlight projected in from the window.

Somehow, this scene reminded Xia De of the mermaid.

"Goodnight, Shad."

The sleepy witch said softly, and fell asleep while hugging Shade's arm with a smile.

By the next morning, Thursday, when Vanessa walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, Shad had already set off for Vista Woods.

Tifa, who was wearing an apron, nodded to her and brought breakfast to the table. Luvia was reading the Tobesk Morning Post at the table, while Karina was reading the report that would be presented in the parliament soon.

Everyone just greeted her in a normal manner, and when the witch finished washing up and sat down next to Sirius at the table, she looked at everything around her with a strange smile.

"Vanessa, what are you so happy about?"

The young Sirius asked, and the Witch of the Earth smiled and told her best friend:
“Maybe, this is the life I want to pursue~”

"Cough cough."

The Duchess coughed a few times:

"I gave it to you last night, but don't think I will be so humble in the future."

The girl with purple eyes smiled as she looked at the newspaper.

Xia De didn't have breakfast at home because he wanted to meet the elf girl in the tree house this morning. But he didn't go out very early. He met Luvia and explained a series of events yesterday before leaving.

Anyway, when it was still light, Shade took Mia out of the tree hole in the forest ruins. Then he put on the wreath and headed directly towards the tree house. When he arrived at the elf tree house this time, the elf girl was still there.

To be more precise, she was sitting at the table on the second floor of the tree house, eating breakfast, which was a cup of flower tea with bread, apples and eggs. It didn't look particularly rich, but it was healthy.

Seeing Shade climbing up with his pet cat, the elf girl had no intention of dodging. So Shade looked at the cat on his shoulder, and then signaled it with his eyes to sniff the blonde elf.

Last time, the elf who claimed to be "allergic to cats" did not dodge, and Mia seemed to understand what Shade meant, and was about to walk towards the elf as soon as Shade put it on the table. But then it coughed a few times with a baby voice, and then whimpered and retreated to Shade's side.

"Good morning. You don't mind the smell of this incense, do you? It's used to repel mosquitoes."

The elf girl smiled and pointed to the incense burner on the windowsill. Xia De suspected that the incense was "cat repellent incense" but he had no evidence, so he could only rub the head of the aggrieved Mia:

"Good morning, girl. Do you mind if the cat and I have breakfast with you?"

"Of course I don't mind."

So Shad used the last remaining "Fiona's domestic servant" opportunity from the ruby ​​and directly summoned a table full of sumptuous breakfast.

This time, along with breakfast, there was also a note written in Dragon Language as usual:

【Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health~】

There is also a simple drawing of a big-tailed dragon at the back, looking up and spitting fire.

"Time-related magic. This magic is very interesting. Very interesting."

The elf girl commented, and gave up the "healthy and nutritious breakfast" to choose the new food without being polite to Shade. Shade first brought Mia's food to it, and then said:
“Can you tell where this food comes from?”

"It was sent from a time that does not belong to this era. It is really a luxury. Someone specially developed such a magic, just to sign a contract with you to provide you with food."

In fact, there are other housekeeping services such as washing clothes and tidying bedrooms, but those are all taken care of by Tifa and other maids. If Shade asked the dragon maids to help, they would definitely be angry, so there is no need to spend gems to ask the dragon maids to help with other things.

Pushing the warm milk basin to Mia, Xia De asked about the business:
"Are you the chosen one of time?"

The blond elf smiled:
"That's a very direct question. At least I'm not one of them yet, and you'd better not ask me such a question."

The familiar emerald green eyes looked at him, and Xia De nodded gently:

"I understand."

"Why don't we talk about other things, like the paradox bugs and the time curse that you're concerned about."

"Can the Paradox Worm remove the Time Curse?"

Shade then asked, and the elf girl shook her head, because the food in her mouth made her face look like a fat squirrel:
"It's impossible to completely remove it, but it can effectively alleviate the curse of the red-haired girl next to you. After all, she also has the blood of the elf clan that worships the Tree Father. She is one of us."

She picked up the small cream bun from the bamboo plate:

“The shells left behind after the Paradox Worm dies are quite interesting supernatural materials. This powerful evil creature can travel through time, so its shells can naturally serve as materials for time-related rituals.

But more importantly, I can help you use the insect shell to make an ancient elven potion - [Confession of the Sin of Time]. This is a potion invented by the ancient elves to help those who strayed into the tree hole. Nowadays, only a few ancient clans still preserve the complete formula. "

"Yes, yes, the Yuexi Clan must still be preserved."

Xia De nodded, and the long-haired elf girl did not comment:
"Of course I won't prepare potions for you for free. Remember to bring me breakfast every day."

"Okay, but sometimes I might be late."

Xia De naturally had no objection and patted Mia's head again:

"Then do you know how to detect the paradox bugs? There must be more than one paradox bug in the city. Although my perception is strong, I cannot sense them when they are living in the souls of mortals."

The evidence was that Shad had had enough contact with the Cummings, but he didn't find a single bug. Excluding the possibility that the bug wasn't on them, it must be that he didn't find a way to find the bug.

"The [Leaves of Eternal Youth] are covering your eyes, and the leaves will tell you the truth."

The elf continued to eat while talking, and Shade nodded. He happened to have a leaf in his hand. But it should not be possible to see it after putting the leaf on it, so he still needed to make other preparations:

"I have already learned the magic - [Ancient Elves' Stability Principle], and I have some questions about it. Since this magic must be performed with World Tree materials, does the [Youthful Eternal Leaf] just mentioned meet the requirements?"

The blond elf shook his head:
"No, but your long staff will do."

Shade raised his eyebrows. Although he had long speculated about the origin of the Staff of Yggdrasil, this was the real confirmation that Long-haired Luvia really had made the key from the branches of the dead World Tree:

"So, those antique elven arrows you asked me to find for you were also made from branches of the World Tree?"

She did not deny it, but pointed in the direction of the city:

"Do you know the origin of the Golden Music Hall?"

"Of course. Originally, it was an ancient temple on top of the hill. Musicians who came to Riverwood for refuge half a century ago performed there. Later, the ruins were turned into a concert hall during the city expansion. Is that related to those arrows?"

The girl sitting at the wooden table wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then picked up her knife and fork to deal with the fried bacon:
"That temple is the temple of the ancient god, the Father of the Infinite Tree, and even the local church didn't realize this. Look at your expression now, is this surprising?"
