Chapter 2653 Luvia and the Fire Seal
A lot of things have happened in Vista City recently. While Luvia is at home tonight, Shade and her sorted out the recent major events. Time travelers and paradox bugs are of course important, but in the eyes of the purple-eyed girl, the chosen ones are the most important:
"If the elf in the forest is the future Emilia, then where do you think she will be ranked as a candidate?"

She sat across from the desk holding a teacup, while Xia De gently stroked the head of the cat lying docilely on the table:

"They are definitely higher than the 'twin princes'. The brothers of Resia and Ajelina claim to be the fourth candidate. Judging from the current situation, Emilia is probably either the first or the second.

I have been in contact with her, and I have not sensed any time curse in her. So far, besides me, she is the only person who has traveled through time without a time curse. "

Luvia held her chin up and looked at the face of the mature elf girl drawn on the book that Shade took out from the "Silver Moon Library":
“It certainly looks like Emilia. Are you sure Emilia is still in the academy? Then Emilia must have entered the tree hole at some point in the future.

The time disaster in Vista City is already so serious, but there is no sign of disaster outside the forest. Will Emilia go to Vista City in the future? It's autumn now, and there's no reason for the academy to let her leave. "

"Since the mature Emilia is already in Vista Forest, the result is already determined. There is no need to worry too much about the process."

Shade wrote down Emilia and the twin princes' names on the paper:

"Generally speaking, there is no need to consider the possibility of candidates after the fourth place becoming the Chosen One. Now that the power of the fourth candidate has become the two umbilical cords, and Emilia is temporarily staying in the forest, this means that there are at least two more people who may be able to get their hands on the power of the Chosen One."

Luvia nodded slightly, but found that Shade was looking at her:
"What are you looking at me for? Are you doubting me? Shade, I have never demonstrated the power of time."

Xia De took out the coin he bought from the Forest Hermits today:

"Try divination. You know yourself very well. Even if the story of the eighth chosen one begins to emerge, you should be able to predict something."

The purple-eyed girl shook her head gently:
"Don't waste your coins here. If I were the Chosen One of Time, I would tell you. I only need to raise my hand and look at myself to know if I am."

"Have you noticed anything unusual about yourself recently?"

Shade asked directly across the table, and Luvia hesitated for a moment before nodding:

"Yes, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. I'm not afraid that you would worry about me, but I'm afraid that you would worry about Mia."

"Hmm? What does this have to do with Mia?"

"Meow~"

"No, I'm not calling your name."

Purple eyes looked at Shade's cat worriedly:

"When you showed us the moonfire this morning at home, I saw something strange in that silver. I saw little Mia eat the moon and then breathe silver fire toward the earth."

"The cat swallowed the moon~"

Shad scratched the cat's chin, causing it to purr.

In the doomsday era of the "Sixth Era of the Past", the sky was eternally dim, with no distinction between day and night. And hanging in the sky was only the black sun with a stream of fire that was about to go out.

So the moon disappeared in the apocalyptic era, and there must be a reason for this. Shade had thought about where the moon went before, maybe it merged with the sun, maybe it fell to the earth, or maybe it was thrown out of the material world.

Regardless of what Luvia saw, whether she really glimpsed the future, or the memory of long-haired Luvia influenced her, Shad felt that this was probably the truth of the doomsday era.

As for why the cat in the past could swallow the moon, it is as puzzling as why the cat in the memory of long-haired Luvia in the apocalypse still exists (1155). And if we follow Adele's line of thought, then this is probably because of something Luvia did.

"Little Mia's appetite is not that big. It can't swallow the moon."

Xia De patted the cat's head again and told Luvia not to worry:
"Any so-called 'future vision' means that the future has already changed the moment it is observed. Otherwise, the twin princes would not have lost their status as candidates for the Chosen Ones right after they were born. Things like a cat swallowing the moon are too far away. It's better to think about what's happening right now."

"for example?"

"For example, it's raining so hard, what should we have for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

They chatted in the study until nine o'clock in the evening, and when Shad felt the legs under the table touch him, he stretched out;

"It's getting late, Luvia, let's take a rest."

Little Mia, who might have swallowed the moon in the past, lived in the cat bed in the closet again tonight. Even though she was challenging the knight alone tonight, the purple-eyed girl still showed fearless enthusiasm.

Waking up from a dream at midnight, Luvia, curled up in Shade's arms, whispered:

"In the evening, you mentioned your new magic, the [Eternal Fire Seal] that can track the target. Since Mia can accept the Fire Seal, can I too?"

Her voice was very gentle. Xia De hugged her but did not agree:

"This fire mark is directly imprinted on the soul, and even I can't erase it at the moment. With this, I can know your location at any time. You also have your own privacy, and I don't want to offend you like this.

This magic always gives me a strange sense of compulsion, and I don't intend to use it on you."

The girl looked up at him with a feeling of exhaustion after satisfaction:
"It's okay. Besides, I don't want you to not even know where I am when I get into big trouble one day. I know what you're worried about, Shade. Don't worry about it. I belong to you."

"But I still think it's rude to use this magic on people. I don't even want to mention this magic to other people in the future. I bought the [Forest Trail] from those hermits because I wanted this magic to be associated with 'direction', not to mention the [Eternal Fire Seal]."

She smiled and rubbed Xia De's chest again:

"You're always so thoughtful, but I really said this after thinking it through. Besides, the world is so dangerous now. If you want to protect me forever, how can you not know my location?"

Although she said this, Xia De still didn't want to agree. The fortune teller was helpless about her man's stubbornness, so she could only rub Xia De with her body in the quilt:

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied tonight and that's why you refuse to agree. Well, I will convince you."

"Luvia~"

"Don't talk. Since you like my eyes so much, then you want to use yours..."

"Luvia!"

In the end, the fortune teller convinced the stranger, but it was already one in the morning. However, the two of them still discussed where to leave the "fire seal". The trace left by the [Eternal Fire Seal] was not completely invisible. After all, it was a mark.

For this kind of fire seal to appear, the spirit or emotions must be extremely active. When the fire seal appears, Shade can sense the location of the fire seal even without using magic.

For Mia, the fire mark on her body would probably never show up, because cats don't have much spirit and they don't usually have overly emotional emotions. But Luvia is different. Shade doesn't want a red or silver mark on her forehead when she casts spells and fights.

"How about leaving the mark on your arm?"

Shade suggested, with silver moonlight dancing on his fingertips, and Luvia said she liked this color better.

But the purple-eyed girl rested her head on his other arm and shook her head:

"If the mark is very bright, it may be seen even through the sleeve. It is better to put it here, which is absolutely private."

With a slightly red face, she leaned closer to Xia De and whispered the location. Xia De was extremely surprised:

"There?! Luvia, did you also read Ajelina's book that Resia confiscated?"

"what book?"

The fortune teller asked curiously, and the stranger realized that even in Ajelina's reading materials, there was no such advanced "creativity".

"Nothing, but I still recommend putting the fire seal on your arm. That way, when I learn other magic skills that go with it, maybe when you press that mark I'll know you're looking for me, which is better than..."

She pressed her hand against Xia De's mouth and looked at him with shining purple eyes. Xia De swallowed his saliva and asked in a muffled voice:
"you sure?"

"determine."

Then the pure silver moonlight lit up again in the dim bedroom. Luvia lifted the quilt and leaned against the bedside to look at Shade's hand. Although the spell was finally successful, the stranger still felt strange when he saw the beautiful silver pattern gradually disappear.

Luvia keenly noticed the strangeness in his behavior, so she slapped him twice:

"I can't do it tonight. I'll go find Carina or Dorothy to stay tomorrow!"

After saying that, she smiled and hugged Xia De, and kissed him again in the surprised eyes of the stranger.

On Tuesday morning, heavy rain still covered the entire city of Tobysk. When Shad got up in the morning, he was still wondering whether the courier who delivered newspapers and goat milk would be late. When he opened the door downstairs in his slippers, he saw that there was already half a palm deep of water under the steps.

The postman and the delivery man from the milk company were both late. Standing under the eaves and looking at the deserted square, Xia De felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't receive these things today. After all, everyone's life was hard.

But it was obvious that the cat was not as generous as Shade. It was a little dissatisfied with not having goat milk this morning and seemed unhappy all morning. Since it had already decided not to go to the woods today or to go to the woods later, Shade was not in a hurry to eat breakfast.

　PS: Today is Xia De’s birthday in the setting. There is a corresponding activity in the Starting Point-Activity Center-Works column. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
