Whispering Poems

Chapter 719 Black Snow
After the group study session at the doctor's clinic, Shad left with Dorothy as usual.

Not returning home immediately, Dorothy invited Shad to her apartment to see the trial printing of the first volume of "Hamilton's Detective Stories" after the publishing house typeset. It will affect Dorothy's career development for a long time to come.

She even asked Luvia to do a divination for her a few days ago, picking the best time for the new book to be released, in order to gain psychological comfort.

"Is it useful to pick the right date to release a new book?"

"Oh, Shad, of course it's useless, or everyone would be a great writer."

Dorothy had a very sensible view of the matter.

The two of them and the cat came to Quill Pen Street at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then stayed in the apartment until the evening before going out to have dinner together.The first edition of "Detective Hamilton Stories" did not change many details compared to the newspaper serials Shade followed up, but only added the background of the descendants of knights to "Detective Hamilton".

When Xia De asked whether it was the publisher's idea or Dorothy's idea, the blonde girl immediately hesitated and changed the subject.

After dinner, Rezia and Dorothy exchanged souls, and Her Royal Highness continued to teach about [Sleep] at No. [-], Plaza Saint Teresa.

So in the study, Xia De mentioned to Leizia that he had come into contact with the statue of the old god [Slumbering Father] this week, and thus obtained the blasphemy rune [Laziness], which made Leizia under the gas lamp very strange tension:

"It's a good thing it's not the [Sleep] spirit rune, otherwise Dorothy and I have failed again this time."

She put her hands together on the table.

"It doesn't matter, even if you didn't help me this time, don't you have other opportunities? Rezia, for me, you are always the forerunners on the road of my ring warlock."

"So, how about trying to call me 'teacher'?"

Rezia said suddenly, Xia De put down the pen and the cat in his hand, and looked at the blonde girl on the side of the desk:

"teacher."

He said seriously, Leiziya suddenly blushed, touched her ears subconsciously, and then pretended to brush her hair to avoid Xia De's sight:

"There's no need to shout like that, it's really... a strange feeling."

Girls' minds are always hard to guess.

Xia De shook his head, and continued to copy the story about the princess, the curse, sleep and the spindle, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at himself reflected in the window:

"Interesting story, very similar to the fairy tale in my hometown. However, this time it should not be"

Shaking his head, what should appear, will always meet in the future.It was not the first time he noticed the similarity between this story and the one in his memory, but he no longer doubted where it came from.

At 10:30 in the evening, Shad sent the blonde girl who had transformed from Rezia back to Dorothy back to Quill Avenue.And when he returned to Saint Teresa Square, the carriage arranged by Miss Galina had already arrived.

This Saturday night, Xia De will take Miya to spend the night in a manor outside the city.

It wasn't because he had an illicit relationship with Galina Cavendish, or because he feared the borders of the family would once again be a problem.On Sunday morning, he was going to the library that was about to be destroyed in the Fifth Era again, and the living supplies that he promised to bring to the witches were all in Miss Galina's manor.

The time to use the time key was at dawn on Sunday. Miss Galina had never seen Shad use the time key, so she got up early and watched Shad open the door with Tifa.

"Actually, this is a very boring process. I will be back in three seconds."

Xia De stood in front of the study door holding the cracked key, and the sky outside had just revealed the first faint morning light.Miss Galina was holding a teacup and sitting on the sofa with her back facing the window, and Tifa was standing beside Mia, who was still asleep.

Because of the bloated clothes on his body, he now looks like he has gained a lot of weight.But this is also impossible, the temperature in the dead valley is too low.

"It's a real time travel, unlike other 'investigators' who use keys. Even if it's boring, at least it's fun."

The Duchess corrected, staring at the door in front of Shad:

"It's time to start."

"Okay, see you in three seconds."

"Meow~"

The sleepy cat let out a conditioned reflex, and even waved its little fluffy paw at Xia De.

Xia De confirmed that all the supplies brought to Miss Oranold and the others were on him, and then he gently recited in the elf language he was not proficient in:
"May the world tree bless me in time."

The elf language was also learned from [a piece of real information - elf], but Xia De mastered it very superficially.

Silky white mist overflowed from behind the door pushed open by Xia De, Miss Galina sat up straight and looked at the door:
"The speaker is right. This is a space of the same nature as the parliament."

Shad stepped in.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Time Corridor". 】

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

[Fifth Epoch 3024 winter, Middle Continent, Dead Silent Valley. 】

[Event: The destruction of Gaddis Library. 】

[Duration three 10 minutes (2/3). 】

[You have additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】

[The test given to you by the ancient god of time will continue. 】

[Assist the old god "Grey Robe Sage" to complete the records of the library documents. 】

[The father of the infinite tree will give you rewards: knowledge - original sin thaumaturgy, a piece of true information - vampire. 】

Taking another step forward, the surrounding thick white mist spread out in all directions.However, it is not the familiar white snow scene in front of my eyes.

The sky still looks like daytime with some cloudy clouds, but the entire valley has been dyed a terrible black.No, it wasn't that the valley was dyed black, but the black snowflakes that fell from the sky decorated the valley into a pure black appearance.

The profuse black snow fell from the sky like burning paper, and in the snow, one after another figures wandered unconsciously.

The surrounding atmosphere was even weirder and more depressing than last time, and the enrichment of whispering elements in the air, as well as the power to repel the living, made Xia De very familiar.If he hadn't been sure that he had arrived in the fifth era, he would even suspect that he had entered the gap between life and death at this moment.

"This is Hei Xue?"

He quickly recalled the rules of the dead valley told by the witches last time:

"During the black snow period, the undead revived and the living withered. Moreover, if the skin was directly contaminated with black snow, they would die immediately."

Although he had stood in the snow for a few seconds, but because he was wearing too thick a hat, gloves, boots, and scarf were all available, the black snow with strong whispering elements did not directly stain Shade's skin.

But at the same time as this idea appeared, a gust of wind blew across the valley, and the black snowflakes, like flung burning paper money, immediately swayed to one side.
