Chapter 2659 The Early-Rising Witch and the Sixth Key
The marks left by the magic "Eternal Fire Seal" are usually invisible and only appear when one's emotions change drastically or the spirit is extremely agitated. Therefore, it was normal for Carina to discover the marks on Luvia's body that night.

Shade really didn't expect this this time, and the red-haired witch who had learned the effect of this magic really didn't want to fall behind. Shade certainly didn't want to agree, but this time it was Luvia and Carina who requested it together. Outsiders are never afraid of strong enemies or terrifying monsters, but they have no resistance to the girls who make requests on the bed.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave the third fire seal. The Duchess also chose the beautiful silver moonfire, but no matter what she said, Shade did not agree to leave the fire seal in the same position as Luvia, and did not even agree to leave it in the position closest to her heart:

"It can only be the arms. Yes, no discussion this time. You are a witch, and your body is in its most perfect shape right now. I don't want you to have any more messy 'tattoos'. This is a serious blasphemy to your incomparable charm."

He gave this reason, and Carina had to accept it reluctantly. So before the Duchess went to bed that night, a small "moon mark" appeared on the outside of the upper part of her right arm. She did not complain about Shade's "partiality", but condescendingly "warned" Shade:

"If Resia and Vanessa were treated differently than me, I would be mad!"

If she couldn't have it, she didn't want anyone else to have it. But she didn't see Shad's reaction to this because he was busy kissing Luvia.

Tuesday's end also marks the end of September, the harvest month of 1854. Although this year is not a "harvest month", time always moves forward fairly, and this is the same for everyone.

When the early morning bell rang at home, the day of the Dead Leaf Moon officially arrived. Shade, who was playing with Carina and Luvia, immediately realized that the black time key that was punished and could not be used could be used again at this time.

However, he did not use the key immediately, not because he did not want to do this at night, but because the two ladies would not let him go. Not to mention "I will leave for three seconds", even if it is only one second, it will seriously affect their relationship, so the opportunity to see Adele again can be saved until tomorrow.

On the morning of the first day of the Dead Leaf Moon, Shade was awakened by the rumbling thunder outside the window. Although there were thunders all morning, surprisingly only a few drops of rain fell, which greatly relieved the City Hall. You know, due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the water level of the Terrarelle River had risen above the warning line.

Like Shade, Iluna has the good habit of getting up early. Therefore, Karina, who always hates getting up early, actually ordered Tifa to come and wake her up earlier than Iluna that morning so that she could go back to lying on her side as soon as possible.

She didn't want to lose face in front of Iluna.

But this also meant that Tifa had the right to enter Shad's room without permission that morning. Shad had already woken up when she tiptoed in, and it was hard for Shad to describe how he felt when the black-haired head maid in black and white maid clothes saw him holding naked Carina and Luvia in his left and right hands respectively.

But the head maid was indeed professional enough. She tilted her head and smiled, winked at Shade with her left eye, and then gently woke up her mistress:
"Miss, it's time to go back."

"Is it already dawn?"

The sleepy witch squinted her eyes and looked like she hadn't woken up yet, but she still kissed Shade, then hurriedly put on her nightgown and went back to lie on her side. She wanted to sleep for a while before getting up to have breakfast.

The startled Luvia closed her eyes and squirmed a few times, looking like she wasn't fully awake yet, so Tifa's eyes curved because of the smile on her face, and she bent down to give Shad a deep kiss, then touched his forehead with her gentle lips, then bent down to pick up the Duke's neiyi on the carpet, smiled and turned away.

"Meow~"

The cat who lived downstairs with the maids took the opportunity to walk in from the door, then jumped onto the bed and lay down on the pillow where the witch had just been lying. The cat also closed its eyes. It was not yet six o'clock, and it wanted to sleep for a while.

The weather outside the window was gloomy that morning, but this did not affect Shade's good mood. After the family had breakfast together, Shade went downstairs to see off Iluna, Luvia, Carina and the maids, and then took out the black time key hanging around his neck:

"I haven't used this for a month and a half. I don't know what kind of enemy I'll face this time."

"Meow~"

"No, the Doomsday Era is too dangerous. You can't go there no matter what. May the World Tree protect me in infinite time!"

[Attention, strangers. Message from the "Father of the Infinite Tree": You are allowed to bring two additional relics this time. ]

"Perfume vial and"

He hesitated between [Night Watcher] and [Star Trace]:
"Perfume vial and star mark."

He didn't even go upstairs, but directly pushed open the door of the house at the end of the hallway. Behind the door was the endless white fog. Xia De temporarily put the other items on his body on the shoe cabinet and patted Mia, then walked in.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】

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

[In the past, the Sixth Era, the Old World, the City of the End, Tobesk.]

[Event: Tobesk, the last era.]

【The duration is arbitrary (6/∞).】

[You have obtained additional information. 】

【You have stepped into a history that does not exist. 】

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

[Note that during this exploration, you cannot leave the area of ​​Saint Teresa Square.]

[Note that you are allowed to bring any spellcasting materials into this period of time. ]

[Note that by using the Time Key to defeat any powerful enemy, you can return to the "present" time. ]

Even though it was the sixth time, when Shad appeared in the dilapidated doomsday home, he still squatted down with his hands covering his forehead because of the discomfort.

After a long time of recovery, he stood up, looked around the cold and damp living room, and then quickly walked towards the stairs.

Outside the door was a sky full of yellow sand, and in the sky were huge buildings surrounded by storms and a dark sun. The bright red line "dripping" from under the black sun seemed to be the original color of the sun, and after looking around the sky to make sure that there was no moon, Shade was almost certain that what Luvia said, "Mi Mia swallowed the moon and spewed silver flames to the world," was probably true.

There was nothing interesting about the familiar scenery. Shade took out Adele's pocket watch and looked at the glowing runes on the square floor tiles with rolling gravel under his feet:
"Adele Isabella."

As the contents of the rune string were read out, the translucent lady stood up, holding up the hem of her skirt. When she raised her head, her body had completely solidified:
"Shad!"

She opened her arms and hugged him, and Shade also hugged her. The two souls hugged each other tightly. The once lonely stranger was no longer lonely, and the witch of time, who was not lonely originally, had lost everything except him.

It is because he understands her at this moment that he understands the meaning of this hug to her after they meet again.

"The last time you were called back to my time, you missed it a lot, didn't you?"

He waited for a while before asking softly. The blonde witch hugged him and nodded gently, then took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all of Shade's breath from the pre-apocalyptic era into her nose:
"I miss it a lot, whether it's those people or those scenery. I can smell the scent of Carina's perfume now, which is also nostalgic."

Xia De also laughed and continued to hug her tightly:
"One day I will find a way to bring you to the human world permanently. Didn't the last incident prove that there is nothing wrong with you and Miss Isabella in the human world appearing at the same time? Even the time curse doesn't exist."

“This must be Lu.”

"This should have nothing to do with Luvia. Luvia's method of going to the 'next era' is not true time travel."

Adele nodded slightly, let go of Shade and took a step back. Seeing Shade looking at her, she felt a little embarrassed:
"It doesn't matter if I can't live in your era. As long as you can always come to see me, it's fine for me to live here."

"Do you want to be told by the long-haired Luvia that you are actually my lover hidden in another time and space? She will definitely laugh at you."

Adele thought about it and thought that what Shade said made sense, so she put her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. She didn't close her eyes, but kept looking at him with a dazed look.

At this moment, the stranger understood that even if he could never find a way to take her away, she would always be here waiting for him to appear again and again. For Adele Isabella, who was waiting here alone, this was the real "until the end of time".

In the past month and a half, from the follow-up of the Moon Bay Battle to Vanessa's promotion, from the time story of Vista City to the recent Moonfire, Shad has a lot of things he wants to share with Adele, but this will have to wait until he defeats this powerful enemy.

In the first five times he came, Shad had faced the calamity of space - the twin lovers Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the calamity of darkness - Mrs. Lemaire, the shadow of the deep sea, the calamity of death - the undead ghost Mr. Bernhardt, the calamity of the earth - Professor Drake, the sand worm, and the calamity of light - Miss Brown, the praying lady of light.

Xia De was actually very curious as to whether different kinds of evil creatures would appear under the same disaster, but at least this time he had no chance to verify his idea, because this time it was a new disaster.

Leaving a gentle kiss on Shad's cheek as a blessing, Adele leaned against the wall of No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square and watched Shad walk step by step towards the square with rolling gravel in the wind and sand.

The wind this time was stronger than the previous times, especially when Xia De walked into the square, he even felt that the wind was going to blow him up.
