Chapter 996: The Last Adventure in the 5177th Year of

Saturday night was Shade's date with Rezia. After Shade woke up from the "coma", I heard Luvia mention that Dorothy seemed to have made some preparations for this night. But it is very unfortunate that Dorothy's "special period" that began on Tuesday did not end on Saturday night.

After the study session on Saturday afternoon, when the soul of Her Royal Highness entered Miss Writer's body and saw Dorothy's note in the notebook, she had a very ugly expression at that time.

Of course, although the physical condition of the "special period" does not allow her to eat too cold food, at least it will not affect the normal dating time. Although it was no longer snowing, the cold winter and the snow on the road made Shade and Rezia, who used the body of the blonde girl, reluctant to go out.

The two of them sat on the clean carpet in front of the fireplace that night, each studying with the books for the exam at the end of next month. The firelight illuminated the faces of the two, and there was a lazy cat curled up in front of the fireplace.

Although the two of them didn't have many conversations throughout the night, Xia De could see that, at least before the break, Leiziya was quite satisfied with this night.

"When I have time, I will paint "Shad and Dorothy in front of the fireplace" as an oil painting and hang it in my own bedroom. My oil painting is very good, and I will definitely be able to finish it before the end of the year."

Before going to bed, Leiziya said to Xia De, she was wearing pajamas, and in front of Xia De, she temporarily put the [Youth Immature Leaf] in the drawer of the study with some regrets, and looked at Xia De with her green eyes slightly lowered :

"what a pity."

Xia De knew what this meant, and Miya, for the first time in a long time, was able to rest on the bed in the bedroom on a Saturday night. This is a treatment that the cat has not enjoyed for a long time since the first "Night of the Red Butterflies".

Because she went to bed very early on Saturday night, not only Shad, who was preparing for the last adventure in the Fifth Era in 5177, woke up early, but even Rezia woke up early.

When the blonde girl opened her eyes, the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling reminded her that she was at No. 6 Place Saint Teresa. When he got up, he realized that Xia De on the other side of the bed had disappeared, but the sound of brushing his teeth from the bathroom indicated that he hadn't left yet.

On the four-poster bed, there was not only the bleary-eyed Rezia, but on the outside of the fluffy pillow on Shard's side, the cat, who was sleeping in the lake, was also awakened by Rezia's movement of getting up.

The cat woke up in the morning, with drooping eyelids, and looked clumsier than usual, without the slightest hint of cleverness. It kept lying on its stomach and looked around, making sure that Xia De was not by his side before standing up. The buttocks are slightly raised, the two furry front paws push forward, and the back paws push back, making a stretching motion. After stretching, Mia immediately refreshed herself.

It ignored Rezia on the bed, but jumped off the bed neatly. After walking around the bed, Leiziya only saw the figure of the cat flashing past the door of the bedroom, and heard the sound that it was going to the bathroom to find Xia De.

Her Royal Highness looked at the pillow to make sure that there was no hair loss, and then slowly got up. The temperature in the house is acceptable because of the steam pipes for heating and the fire in the fireplace is not extinguished. She tidied up her pajamas, touched her chest to compare the difference between the two bodies, and confirmed that Dorothy was still the same recently, then stepped on her slippers and came to the bedside and opened the curtains in a good mood.

"Oh, the silver-white city."

There was not much fog this morning, and the square of Saint Teresa at six o'clock was covered with snow, but there were already a series of clear footprints on the snow. It seemed that it snowed for a while last night. Leiziya remembered that when she came back last evening, the snow in the square had already been cleared.

Santa Teresa Square is the core block of Tobesk, the northern pearl. The city hall will send people to clear the snow in the square when it snows, which is also part of the city's public services. Of course, there are only a few places in the city that can afford this kind of treatment, so it makes sense that the land price and house price of Saint Teresa Square are expensive.

It's just that the snow accumulated in front of the residents of Plaza Saint Teresa needs to be cleaned by the residents themselves, or hired to clean it. Although it doesn't matter if you don't clean it up, but if you live in such a civilized neighborhood, if the snow in front of the neighbor's house is cleaned up, and only the front of your own house is still the same, then you will be looked down upon by the neighbors.

"Send someone to help Xia De sweep the snow today."

Looking out the window at the snow scene in the winter morning, Her Royal Highness thought to herself. She played with the blond locks that fell in front of her right shoulder, admiring Dorothy's hair quality. The eyes unconsciously saw the indoor reflection of the mold lake on the glass, saw the big bed, and felt a little bored.

Shad is still the same as in the past few weeks, planning to complete the adventure of the time key first and then come back for breakfast. When Rezia walked out of the bedroom, she saw that Shade was packing books into toys and putting them in boxes, and then turning the black suitcase into toys and putting them away.

Casting a spell on the "toy" again will consume more souls, but Xia De is still repeating his actions.

"What are you doing with so many books?"

Rezia asked curiously, and picked up the cat at Xia De's feet to prevent it from disturbing the busy detective.

"Today is the last time I use this key, because I am not sure what the final test will be, so I have to bring more extra things. Special items and relics that are not mission objectives cannot be taken to the past with me , so I can only bring as many books as possible."

Shad said, turning the last suitcase into a toy too.

He picked up the glass bottle on the coffee table and drank the No. 4 holy water in one gulp to replenish the consumed spirit. Although drinking a large amount of holy water in a short period of time would seriously weaken the effect, this was the first time he drank it today.

On the other hand, Leizia held the cat in her arms and watched Xia De get ready to go. After the day of the red butterfly, Xia De also tried to use sheets to turn her and Dorothy into toys through thaumaturgy [toy making], and then Of course it also failed.

Rezia still remembered that when Dorothy and Luvia talked about this in private, the female fortune-teller was really relieved. Her Royal Highness understands Luvia's thoughts, but she still hopes that she and Dorothy can prove their feelings through [Toy Making].

"Meow~"

The cat in his arms did not know what to think of, and let out a soft cry.

"Are you taking Mia?"

Rezia asked.

"No no, it's still too dangerous there, and you see, the cat doesn't want to go with me."

As Xia De spoke, he waved to Minya, and the smart cat barked at him, showing no intention of breaking free from Rezia's grasp.

"Look, it really doesn't want to move. Oh, let me see, the water bladder, books, holy water...all are brought."

After taking out the time key covered with cracks on the surface, he waved his hand at Rezia:

"Wish me luck, Rezia, and hope it goes well this time."

"Yes, my knight, good luck to you."

Rezia came over and kissed Xia De's side face, Xia De smiled and touched his cheek:

"May the world tree bless me in time."

He inserted the key into the side door lock—

Kada~

Turn the key, and behind the opened door is the familiar white mist door.

For Rezia, Xia De's adventure only lasted three seconds, so Xia De didn't say goodbye again, and walked in directly.

A familiar reminder from "her" came from my ear:

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

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

[Fifth Epoch 5177 Spring, Broken Isles, Lost Lake. 】

[Event: The witch who pursues eternal beauty. 】

[Duration thirty minutes (3/3). 】

[You have obtained additional information. 】

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

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

[Help mortals visit the gods and learn the secret of eternal beauty. 】

[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Ritual - Water of Moonlight, Ritual - Fire of the Sun. 】

"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to get the next key. Where can I get the time key this time?"

Stepping out into the white mist, and then continuing to move forward, the curtain of the white mist opened to the surroundings, showing the scenery of the jungle by the lake in the dark in front of Xia De.

The temperature in the home is suitable, even a little hot, but at this time the surrounding temperature drops sharply. Xia De took a deep breath, letting the diffuse sedative mist be inhaled into his lungs~lightnovelpub.net~ This can calm down the extremely active thinking just after waking up:

"This is the last meeting with Miss Violet and Miss Teresa."

Looking at the island in the middle of the lake by the gloomy lake, he felt a little melancholy when he thought of this. He went through a period of time to find and witness those lost stories, but at the same time he also passed by friends one by one. All the people of the Fifth Era, witches and ordinary people alike, were definitely gone for Shad, who lived in 1853 of the Sixth Era and moved on.

He was already lucky to be able to see the middle-aged witch and the old man in leather armor on Mount Xikar, and more friends who passed by in the past probably would never be seen again. The story of the Red Butterfly Twins even reminded Xia De that the friends of the Fifth Epoch would sleep in their own time, and it would be a better ending for the story than meeting him again across a long time.

Feeling a little melancholy in his heart, Xia De attributed it to his active thinking after waking up early in the morning. There were already strange noises from the weird dense forest behind him, Xia De didn't stop, and stepped directly onto the lake.

When the lingering mist obscured his distant figure, a flock of red butterflies exuding scarlet color flew towards the distance in the mist.

The area of ​​the Lost Lake is much larger than the Lake of Cherubim in Huntington City. Shade, who walked silently on the surface of the water, endured the extremely cold air flow from his feet to his whole body, and approached the island in the center of the lake little by little.
