Whispering Poems

Chapter 2615 Farewell and Rebirth

Baron Cumming also has his own method to return to 1854. This method is not universal, but a method designed by the hermits to deal with his "time curse".

But this method also requires the book "Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions", so the two of them had to return the book to where it should be before leaving. When Shade said that he wanted to go back, the Baron also stood up and said that he would go back with him.

He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Ogg and the others, and then hugged everyone. This was their last farewell:
"I won't be here again. This gentleman has taken the book, and these things are over."

"I hope your life will return to normal from now on."

The hermits drew the holy emblem on their chests because they believed in the "God of Luck - the White Holy Tree", so such a blessing might be useful.

Then, Mr. Ogg used those magical tree holes to bring Shad and the Baron directly to the edge of the town. Shad also said goodbye to these past hermits who would probably never meet again, so the owl turned into a mouse and crawled into his pocket. Before the end of forty minutes, Shad and the Baron successfully returned to Erica's house.

They didn't live in a manor, but the house was not small. Coincidentally, when Xia De and his family came back, the family who had not been home just now also came back.

Therefore, Shade met Erica Cumming of this era, or Erica Wood, who is still called Erica Wood. Of course, this "Wood" has nothing to do with the "Wood Family" in Yuewan City. This is not an uncommon surname.

Erica Wood is twenty years old and has beautiful black hair. Although her appearance is not particularly outstanding, the dimples on her cheeks look nice when she smiles.

Shade and the Baron stood on the stairs and watched the family interact in the living room, their figures obscured by the illusion.

"She is indeed pregnant. It looks like she is about two months pregnant."

"Yes, that's me. My mother and father's wedding is still two months away. I think my father didn't know that I was not his biological son until he died."

The middle-aged man said softly, staring at his mother's belly, but nothing could be seen there yet.

Xia De guessed that he must have a lot of thoughts and feelings at this moment, but Xia De did not ask about these:
"Have you met your mother? I mean in this era, talked to her about future events, or just passed by."

Baron Cumming shook his head:

"I have never done such a thing. It is meaningless. Mother has had too many secrets in her life. There is no need for me to give her more secrets. Besides, our family affairs are already chaotic enough. There is no need to complicate things further."

Shade smiled and said:

"I sincerely hope that the residents of Ximu Town have the same awareness as you. Then let's go. When we get back to your house, I will take the book away. This is the last time you will see your mother."

Shade didn't say anything else, but turned around and went upstairs, followed by Baron Cumming. But after he walked a few steps up, he looked back at the living room downstairs, and after a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said silently:

"Goodbye, mother."

Then he followed Xia De upstairs.

Erica Wood, who was talking to her parents in the living room about a poem she had recently written, somehow turned her head and looked towards the stairs of her house.

Of course there was nothing there, so she turned around and continued her conversation with her family, but she still subconsciously placed her hand on her belly.

The final farewell has been completed, and a new life will be born soon. Then, it will be the story of Kane Cumming's search for the truth and maintaining the stability of time.

According to Sir Cumming's "time curse" characteristics, the hermits found the cheapest way for him to use the tree hole to shuttle, which was to cut his skin with a knife with a gold content of 50% to 60%, and then drip blood on the door of the book.

In order not to affect his daily activities, the Baron did not cut his fingers, but took blood from his arm at random. He left first, and then Shade turned the mouse lady in his pocket into a toy, then took out the key, and closed and locked the drawer in the brief moment of time and space transformation.

So the two of them returned smoothly to the room belonging to James Cumming in Morris House in the autumn of 1854. Baron Cumming took out the key from his pocket, opened the drawer of his "son", and handed him "Opening the Forest Gate: Our Animal Companions", which had only one normal use opportunity for Shad.

Xia De was not polite, he just took the book and asked:
"Will you talk to James Cumming about this?"

Baron Cumming shook his head. He had already thought about these things:
"I know too much and that's why I'm so troubled. James shouldn't be like me. He doesn't know anything and he's just heartbroken. Although this will bring him long-lasting pain, for the whole life, this pain will disappear sooner or later."

He locked the drawer again with his own hands, and it seemed as if he had locked up his entire life:
"I let him get this book suddenly. Now that he suddenly loses it, I have completed my final mission."

"Then you have to keep an eye on him. Someone from the church came to see him a few days ago. I don't want him to go to the church and say that he lost a time tunnel."

Baron Cumming nodded to show that he understood:

"The time we agreed to hand over the box is the 1854th of the Harvest Month in 28, which is this Sunday, which I proposed. It will be at a.m. at the crossroads outside the village in the north of Creekwood Town, next to the railroad tracks. That is the town's original railroad tracks."

He described the location in detail, and Xia De said:
"Does the other party know who you were in 1854?"

The Baron shook his head.
"He probably didn't know it at the time, but he had seen my face fifty years ago, so I think he would have known who I was in the last few years. After all, I'm a businessman, and many people know me."

Shade glanced out the window. The girls who had been monitoring Morris's mansion recently hadn't said anyone was also monitoring this place, so that person probably hadn't come:
"Well, you don't have to go on Sunday. I'll go by myself. I'll take the box away, and you can continue to do your own things locally. If the other party comes to you in the next two days, you can say that the box was taken away. If he hurts you, he will never get the box."

Xia De instructed, and after making sure the baron understood, he warned:
"Don't leave Riverwood. Things here are not over yet. I will come to find you and James Cumming after I have dealt with the box issue. Don't try to avoid me."

After all, there is at least one "paradox worm" in this matter, and whether that worm is on the Baron or on little Cumming, Shad wants to get rid of the owner of the box and thoroughly figure out the whole story before dealing with it.

When he left Morris House with the book, it was already about 4:30 in the afternoon. Shade restored "Miss Mouse" back to her original form, and the mouse turned into a cat and ran onto Shade's shoulder:
"Your magic is really terrifying. Theoretically, this is the best sealing technique. I was in a daze just now and didn't know anything, not even the time. If you want to torture someone, turning them into a toy and throwing them into a window is the best punishment."

"Now on the street, please keep your mouth shut, Miss Cat."

Shade warned, knowing without turning around that Baron Cumming was watching his back from the window.

"Oh, now you not only have to take care of your teacher, but also me, right?"

The cat asked, smiling, and then added:
"I'm going to tell Danister about you touching me so casually today!"

Shad didn't say "I didn't" because he did:
"You don't want to play this kind of childish game of temper tantrums with me, do you?"

But the "Cat Lady" on the shoulder was smiling happily:
"Of course not, but I want the witch in the council who is good at divination to divine your origins. Young knight, I will definitely find out all your secrets. I haven't met someone as interesting as you in a long time."

The cat's tail poked his neck. If Mia did that, Shade would have rubbed its little head.

He dodged into the alley, and soon the round-faced owl once again grabbed the beautiful silver cat and flew high into the sky.

This afternoon's experience was truly bizarre, and Baron Cumming's story was even more tortuous but interesting. Therefore, not only Miss Danister and Miss Bell, who listened to their stories in the evening, but also Carina, Vanessa, Hillis and Luvia, who listened to Shad's stories at the dinner table that night, were attracted.

"For an ordinary person, the baron has really done a lot."

The purple-eyed fortune teller commented, and thus suspected:
"Shad, did Baron Cumming really tell the truth?"

"At least Miss Winslet and I both feel that he is telling the truth. Don't worry, Miss Winslet's followers are still watching him. He can't get away."

Shad said, and Vanessa looked at Shad in the candlelight - it sounds strange, but Shad was indeed having a candlelight dinner with four girls. Tifa led the maids to prepare dinner, and Mia lay down beside Shad very obediently.

"Your story lacks a lot of details, such as how Flora, who has been following you, participated in the investigation. I think this answer should also explain why Mia was angry with you before dinner after you came back today."

In the evening, the cat suddenly discovered that his "spot" had been occupied by another cat.

"Does Shade still need to answer this question?"

The Duchess's delicate face was smiling. They were all smart and knew Shade:

"It must be that Flora turned into an owl and stood on Shad's shoulder, so Mia got angry. Oh, Sirius, do you think Shad subconsciously touched the owl once or twice?"

The young blonde girl smiled modestly. She was not a witch apprentice and had no superior-subordinate relationship with the witches, so she spoke naturally:

"Judging from Xia De's expression now, he must have touched it."
