Whispering Poems

Chapter 3253 Mermaid Girls
As they took steps, the toes of their black leather shoes took on substance in the moonlight, and in an instant they almost twisted the basic laws of physics of the entire street.

The witch wanted to close her eyes and shrink back behind Shade, but her body was unable to move.

But because of this, she saw Xia De raised his hands forward in response, and the pure silver flame bloomed with an incomparably bright brilliance. But the color of the moonlight only attracted her for a short second, and Mia jumped out of Xia De's arms.

The cat bravely jumped onto Shade's shoulder, and a threatening "meow" immediately broke the seemingly frozen time and space.

Sparks spewed out of the cat's mouth again, and a small flame appeared on the tip of its tail. The witch of the sun was attracted by the flame on the tip of the cat's tail. The color of the flame was normal and the temperature was almost imperceptible, but she felt that the flame was so familiar and warm.

The cat's flame and Shade's moonlight appeared together, and the figure in the dark kept lifting his foot as if frozen in place. Two seconds later, the black leather shoe did not fall forward, but returned to the darkness. He stood at the edge of light and shadow again, quietly "watching" everything.

"Mia, go back."

The flame disappeared in front of the witch, because Mia was carried by Shade and stuffed back into his chest. The best way was actually right in front of him. While the figure in the dark did not make any further moves, Shade took two steps forward and picked up the pocket watch from the ashes.

When the witch caught up with him, his hand was already on the pocket watch:

"The best way is to use this relic again. Apparently only one relic effect can appear at a time!"

The risk of this method is that Shade does not know the exact nature of the relic in front of him. He can only roughly guess that the smiling face and crying face pointed out by the spine pointer correspond to good things and bad things respectively.

But he couldn't care less now, as he didn't believe that a worse situation could occur. So he pressed the button on his pocket watch, and the bronze wheel really started to spin rapidly.

"Before the end of the year, I'm lucky!"

He said this in his heart with his eyes wide open, but in the midst of "her" laughter, the spine pointer still stopped at the position of the crying face.

The light from the crying face's mouth fell at the feet of the two people, and instantly formed a portal under Shade and Miss Reinhardt. Then the two people and the cat fell directly into it and went to a distant place unknown to anyone.

The portal closed, and the pocket watch fell to the ground again. The bronze wheel slowly disappeared into the darkness, and the figure in the darkness also disappeared without a trace.

The night wind started blowing again in the alley. More than ten minutes later, the big-headed man who had been knocked unconscious by Xia De sat up with his hands covering the back of his head after snow fell all over his body.

"Who knocked me out?"

He looked around and found that he was the only one left in the alley. Even the sage-level relic [Wheel of Twin Fates] given by the cult had fallen into the snow.

Although I didn't know what happened, it was obvious that something big had happened here, and it seemed that I survived because no one noticed me.

So he picked up the pocket watch, reentered the second-hand watch shop, took the transaction items from the other two unconscious people, and disappeared into the depths of the alley without having time to kill them. The prophecy was not wrong, and they did successfully complete the task.

As for Ms. Shad and Claire Rhinehart on the other side——

The moment he stepped on empty air, Shade knew what had happened, but because of the characteristics of the relic, he still fell into the portal with the witch.

The surging seawater immediately submerged them, or rather, they were teleported directly into the sea. The spell of [Underwater Breathing] took effect, and Shade pressed his chest to turn Mia into a toy to prevent her from drowning. He reached out and grabbed the witch beside him. Her long platinum-colored hair spread out in the seawater, looking particularly beautiful.

But because she was a little exhausted by the figure in the dark, she seemed to be sinking in the sea. So Shade took her hand in time, and after confirming that the witch could breathe underwater, he took her to swim upwards:

"This must not be some kind of underwater abyss. If it is, I will go straight home."

There was deep darkness all around, and Shade even felt that more than one pair of eyes were watching him from a distance. He tried to suppress his fantasy and swam upwards holding Miss Reinhart, which was faster.

They were lucky. Xia De soon sensed the moonlight above his head and soon emerged from the sea holding the wet girl.

"Oh!"

The seawater slid down their cheeks, and they both gasped for breath at the same time. A small part of it was due to the underwater environment, and a large part was due to the bad conditions in the alley just now.

Looking around at this time, there is an endless sea under the starry sky. There is no trace of land or islands on the empty sea. Xia De may have to look up the map of the old continent to accurately locate where this place is:

"If it's just a random teleportation, this isn't bad luck, unless this place is very remote."

As he was thinking, he felt the girl in his arms hug him tightly. She must have been really scared just now, and now she was still a little scared after surviving the disaster.

Xia De did not push her away, but patted her back twice. Then the girl who was curled up in his chest raised her head and looked at Xia De. On the sea under the moon, her light golden eyes looked very different from those in the daytime.

And in Claire Reinhardt's eyes, Shade under the moon was also very different from before - when he fell into the portal, the illusion disappeared.

Under the moonlight, his whole body was shrouded in a halo. As the sea surface rose and fell, for reasons the witch herself could not understand, she looked at Xia De for a moment, then closed her eyes on her own initiative. Thinking back on it, she almost covered her face and banged her head against the wall.

But then she felt her chest rising and falling. Thinking that the stranger was playing tricks on her, she opened her eyes with a red face, and saw the cat coming out from the gap between her and Xia De, then climbing onto Xia De's shoulder and looking around at the sea.

This surprise made the witch completely sober. Thinking of her actions just now, she wished she could go back to the bottom of the sea.

Fortunately, Xia De was concentrating on "scolding" the cat that had transformed back on its own, and telling lies that even children would not believe, such as "disobedient cats will be eaten by mermaids."

The witch blushed as she thought about what happened tonight and suddenly wanted to laugh. Under the starry sky, she hugged Xia De tightly with her arms and immediately forgave herself for what she had done a few seconds ago:
"That's not bad. He's such an interesting man. It makes sense that Vanessa and Sylvia like him so much."

She thought to herself, and then felt that if she told today's story to others, they probably wouldn't believe it.

But at this moment, Shad and the self-consoling witch noticed at the same time that in the depths of the ocean beneath them, a black shadow in the shape of a mermaid was swimming slowly under the water.

The witch was just curious about what it was, but she didn't expect that Shade was so frightened that he immediately held her and flew up from the sea:

"Let's go! Let's go!"

As he said this, he ignored the need to conceal his identity and turned into a Moonlight Dragon, flying away with Miss Reinhardt and Mia.

Silver moonlight even began to emanate from his body. Fortunately, at this moment, dozens of beautiful heads emerged from the sea below them.

Black hair, red hair, blonde hair, blue hair, blue eyes, green eyes, yellow eyes, black eyes, the mermaids looked up at the witch and Shade in the sky, waving their clean arms to greet them. The moonlight also illuminated them. They were indeed mermaids, but only mermaids.

"Oh, it's a mermaid, where are we now?"

The witch, who didn't know why Shade was so scared, breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Shade:
"Don't worry, I have a very good friend who has a very good relationship with the mermaid community. We can ask them for directions."

Xia De's heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, was relieved. He really thought that the "mermaid" from Yuewan had come. The worst thing than meeting "desire" by the pool, pond, lake or sea is to meet the other person directly in the water.

Seeing that the mermaids in the water were very friendly, Shade held Miss Reinhart and fell back into the water. Then the mermaids gathered around:

"Hello~"

They all looked different but all beautiful. They smiled and greeted Shade, and seemed to be dancing around him. The cat looked at the fish with some annoyance, but did not threaten them with any noise. It was Miss Reinhart who felt ignored.

"Hello, do you know how to get to Fatumonster Island in Falling Star Bay?"

Xia De asked the highest-level mermaid girl, and the girl with a tenth-ring level and shell decorations on her long red hair smiled and pointed to the north.

They did not speak to Shade, but sang softly around Shade and the witch. Gradually, all the mermaids held hands together and circled around them.

Dots of runes appeared on the water surface within the circle until the ritual array was completed. With a flash of light, Shade, the cat, and the witch disappeared.

"Go tell Miss Aurora that the handsome man has appeared! Oh, he looks even more charming than Miss Aurora said."

The mermaid girls laughed and chirped as they dived into the deep sea together, while on the deserted rocky beach on the south coast of Fatumunster Island, two people and a cat had been washed ashore by the waves.

Shad had been here before. When he first arrived in the local area to look for the whereabouts of the "potion merchant", one of the merchant's secret warehouses was nearby. He also saw traces of mermaids here at that time.
