MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 1394 twilight place
The body passed through the curtain, and immediately felt the sound of the pattering rain, but the body did not feel the dripping of the rain.
There were only dim lights in the art gallery just now, but the lights at this time are a bit bright and dazzling. Both Xia De and Fiona narrowed their eyes subconsciously, and then saw that they did not appear on the street at all, but appeared on the heights of a certain building.
"This is... the terrace?"
Looking behind, the city below is in the rainy night, only a few buildings and a few streets are still lit. And in the darkness of the city, some strange figures wandered around. Even some giant-like behemoths are walking in the city, but all the movements are silent.
Their luck is actually not bad, not to encounter the most difficult enemy.
And their current location seems to be on the top terrace of an extremely huge obsidian palace building. The area of the terrace is quite large, and the overall shape is semicircular. The curved side is the fence, while the straight side is the wall and the closed double metal gate.
There is a light in the two corners of the terrace. The color of the light is like the most brilliant sunset before sunset, and it is this light that illuminates the place. And on the two metal doors, there are patterns of sunset at dusk and stars in the sky. On the door at dusk and sunset, it is written in ancient characters:
【The Place of Twilight】
"The place of dusk, so, open this door, and it will be night." Xia De said softly, and Fiona nodded nervously:
"Yes, the final destination should be behind the door." "I don't feel the power of the great."
Xia De glanced at his hands as he spoke, but did not see any traces of the afterglow of divinity:
"We are still in 'twilight', so the 'dark night' has not come. If I guess correctly, if I push that door open, the monarch of this city, the old **** who symbolizes the dark night, should appear."
Fiona nodded nervously:
"Then will you accompany me in and then leave, or shall we go in next time?"
"Next time. After all, it's not clear yet what bargaining chips Ms. Fei Lianna has prepared, and I don't have much time."
Shad said:
"You take a rest here first, it would be best if you can recall what Miss Fei Lianna told you through Moon Dream." "Going to sleep again."
Fiona said with a sad face, but she also knew that it was impossible.
Shad had only the last few minutes left, and no time for small talk. Fiona recovered the curtain, but the compass was left behind in the art gallery and could not be retrieved.
Xia De helped her set up the camp, still laying soft bedding in the tent, and inserting fences outside the tent.
Three-coloured moonshine thorn bushes clung to the fence and protected the tent within. Fiona sat in the tent pitifully, and stretched out her hand to Xia De. Xia De froze for a moment, then remembered to take off his coat and hand it to her. The previous one had been burned in the "Dragon Egg".
He turned Mia, who was looking at everything around, into a toy and put it in the breast pocket of his shirt. Only half a minute left, time to leave:
"See you next time, Fiona." "Want to see my new skills?"
The red-haired girl asked, her golden eyes had already seen the white mist rising around Xia De, so she said without giving Xia De a chance to answer:
"Probably because of the ritual materials you used, I can actually paint in the night now. Yes, just stretch out your finger and light up the moonlight."
Her shimmering fingertips flicked gently in the night, leaving behind a trace of light.
[Shad Sullen Hamilton]'s cursive name was written between the two. Xia De looked at this scene with a smile, then reached out and hugged her gently:
"Next time will be the last time, and it will definitely go well. Oh, if you can't sleep, you can try to draw in the night, and you can appreciate it carefully when I come back."
The red-haired girl bit her lower lip:
"Goodbye, Shad, please wish me a good night
Ann...I've been sleeping too much lately. ""Good night."
He stretched his head forward slightly, and the red-haired girl closed her eyes and moved her face closer, but she didn't feel the touch for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, Xia De had disappeared.
"Really... I won't let you go next time." (Mia is running...)
When Xia De stumbled out of the bedroom door of Luvia's rented room in the Fertile Land Hotel, Luvia was still sitting in front of the dressing table looking at his face.
After hearing the voice, she finally shifted her gaze from herself in the mirror to Xia De: "Where did your coat go?"
But she didn't want to get an answer from Xia De, but stood up with a smile and walked towards Xia De:
"Go downstairs and have breakfast. I really like the small sugar cookies that are special in Randall Valley. I won't be able to eat them when I return to Tobesk. I can't find maple syrup here..."
Suddenly stretched out his head to sniff at Xia De's neck, then looked at him suspiciously. Xia De wanted to explain, but the purple-eyed girl covered his mouth with her hands:
"Shad, you really worked hard."
While going downstairs for breakfast, Shad asked Luvia an important question:
"The last time Miss Denist came here to see you, did she tell me where she lives now?"
"By the way, St. Byrence also has college assets in the local area. It is a ship repair factory. Miss Daniste and several other professors sent by the college live in the manor listed in the factory asset list. She said If I am in trouble or danger, I can go to her."
Luvia told Xia De the specific address, and then looked at Xia De with a frowning expression while feeding the cat:
"Are you going to find Miss Daniste? Although she probably guessed some things about you, it's not appropriate to just let her know that you can run around everywhere, right?"
"This time key is in trouble."
He glanced around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, and Mia took this opportunity to **** away the whole cookie that Shad had planned to break into pieces.
Xia De originally wanted to reward the cat, so he didn't care, so he picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the sausage:
"Miss Fiona Drago still hasn't remembered some things. We are going to make a deal with an old god, which will determine the establishment of St. Byrence. If Fiona can't remember what the price is, she needs me Go ask Miss Dennist."
"It's an amazing feeling."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and said:
"On an ordinary morning, in the corner of an unremarkable hotel, while eating a relatively cheap breakfast, I listened to you talking about these things."
She shook her head:
"Don't ask me for my opinion. Except for you, no one can participate in the events of the last era. Xia De, ask yourself, and you will have the answer."
Xia De nodded, and while he was thinking for a moment, Mia took away the freshly cut sausage. It timidly bit the sausage and looked at Xia De, thinking that Xia De would stop or scold it, but unexpectedly Xia De just glanced at it indifferently, then picked up the spoon to stir his thick soup.
This made Mia a little afraid to continue eating.
After breakfast, Xia De sent Little Mia home first, then opened the [God's Gift Box] in the basement, and took out this week's gift. After the precious bottle of No. 1 holy water last week, this week's gift is just a very ordinary ivory comb.
Although expensive, it is of little use to the Shad. The task is to wash your hair twice a week, which is easier than going to church.
Xia De didn't stay at home for a long time, and then went to Lengshui Harbor to pick a few fresh Houttuynia cordata by the sea to prepare for the assessment work [Underwater Breathing Potions] for the fourth grade Potions class he was about to complete recently.
After returning from Coldwater Harbor, he returned to the Randall Valley. It was already ten o'clock in the morning. He borrowed a horse from the Wilde Opera House, and then rode to the old cemetery of the Granger family in the northeast of the city.
Because the location was a bit far away, Xia De didn't arrive at the destination until almost noon. Now this is the private forest farm of Earl Granger. In order to prevent being considered as poachers and illegal loggers, Shad also deliberately found the forest guard's hut~www.novelbuddy.com~ and showed him the certificate written by the Earl .
The ranger who looks after the forest farm is a sturdy man in his forties who also works as a logger in summer and autumn. He was very friendly to Shad, and pointed out to him the location of the old cemetery deep in the forest.
It's just that he also kindly reminded Xia De that although the old site was not planted or developed as required, it was already dilapidated. The valuable things inside were taken away by the Granger family themselves and occasional thieves a hundred years ago, so there is nothing to visit except for the possibility of encountering hibernating animals.
This old cemetery was destroyed by the Randall Valley Earthquake in 1498. Before that, the Granger family was already a prominent local family, so the area of the cemetery was very large.
Xia De left the horse outside the guard's hut, and then walked alone in the forest according to the guard's instructions. It was around 11:30 noon that he saw the cemetery surrounded by iron fences.
The fence should have been repaired in recent years, and it looks better than the haunted Watsons Manor. It's just that the inside of the fence is almost in ruins. Even if the Earl arranges for people to clear the weeds every year, the three hundred years of neglect are enough to erase most of the traces of the past.
Because he got the key from the guard, Shad went in directly through the main entrance. The weather is getting warmer now, but the snow outside the city still shows no signs of melting. On the snowy ground, countless crooked steles stood erect. In addition, there are still remains of the chapel building in the cemetery, and there is no trace of the gravekeeper's hut at all.
