Chapter 4292 Re-entering the "Swamp of Oblivion"
Shad was momentarily stunned by Margaret's attire. The blonde princess smiled at Shad's expression, but then said shyly:
"It's Saturday today. I wonder if Dorothy and the others will allow me to stay."
The sound came almost immediately from the washroom:
"Anyway, Lacia can't come with me tonight, and I'm not really going to have any fun by myself. Margaret, you can stay here without worry. Lacia and I have no objections."
After a brief pause, Dorothy added:
“Margaret, did you come in an evening gown? Lacia said she has a beautiful dress too, and she’ll have the maids help her change right now. Shad, Lacia told you not to tear Margaret’s dress so quickly; you can tear it all at once later.”
Even though Margaret was used to the atmosphere at home, she still blushed a little when she smiled.
"I don't damage your clothes every time, and besides, can't I turn back time?"
"Shad said, gently embracing Margaret as she rose from the sofa. He hadn't been close to the blonde princess for some time before Margaret and Sylvia set off for the front lines, and he missed her dearly."
Margaret felt the same way; smelling the scent of Shad after his bath, she felt that the week's wait had been completely worthwhile.
Since Lacey and Dorothy couldn't be present at the same time, they didn't mind having others participate in Saturday night, especially since Lacey had a particularly high regard for Margaret. She admired this girl who, despite having a very high line of succession to the throne, was still willing to disregard her princess status for Shad.
"This dress is really beautiful. Is it a new style that's popular in Carsonrick this spring?"
Dorothy emerged from the bathroom and praised them, first her and Margaret, then Lacey and Margaret. Although it was wartime, it hadn't affected the friendship between the princesses of the North and South. The beautiful evening gown was ultimately ruined by Shad, but no one seemed to care.
What Margaret cared about was "unfairness":
“The two of them can take turns, but I'm all alone. Shad, no, I…”
She was temporarily unable to speak.
After the sweltering night activities, it's time for a peaceful summer night's sleep. The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these past few days, but perhaps because Winnie has been staying home recently, the temperature at home has remained quite cool.
Dorothy and Margaret were fast asleep on either side of Shad, and Shad heard "her" voice again before he fell asleep.
Don't forget about the military uniform.
She gave the reminder with a smile.
"Actually, there's no need to remind me; an evening gown is enough."
Shad stared at the ceiling of his bedroom:
"My only worry now is whether I'll have strange dreams again when I close my eyes in a little while."
She just smiled gently, and when sleep came, all Shad saw was the huge silver moon.
After a good night's sleep, Margaret woke up refreshed and full of energy. Seeing Luvia at home so early in the morning, Margaret felt a little embarrassed, but Luvia seemed to have expected Margaret's arrival and greeted her cheerfully.
"Found it! Bella and I have finally found the location of the [Holy Son Alliance]."
Luvia shared the good news with Shad at the breakfast table:
"Those people hid in an ancient tomb deep underground in that desolate area through the sewers of Arcadia's outer city. Bella and I have found a way to enter, and the accuracy is quite high. Although Bella can't leave Moon Bay for the time being, I will accompany you."
Shad stroked the cat, which had been unusually well-behaved this morning for some reason:
“That’s good. Then let’s proceed as planned. I’ll be using the Time Key in a bit. Luvia and Dorothy, get ready and come with me to Arcadia City.”
However, before using the Time Key, Shad needed to make some preparations. He first went to Moon Bay and obtained from Sirius the potions, alchemical items, and bullets she had prepared for him to help amnesiacs regain their memories.
Shad then went from the basement to the academy, found Daniste, and asked her to bring Ellie and Emilia over.
Daniste was originally supposed to join the group today, but matters at the academy prevented her from leaving, so Emilia said:
“Professor Daniste, Ellie and I will go help Shad. We are strong girls now.”
"Very powerful!"
Ellie raised her right hand and said, "Dannister hesitated for a moment, then asked Shad:"
"Would you need the power of that normal spark today?"
Shade shook his head:
"I doubt we'll need it."
"Then would you need Winnie's power? Isn't Winnie's coldness supposed to suppress the activity of the life force?"
"Danist, you mean you want Winnie to join us?"
The administrator nodded:
“Yes, since I can’t help you, there’s no reason for Winnie to stay at home because of me. However, I don’t want Teacher to go to such a dangerous place. Let Teacher stay at Fragrant Residence and be taken care of by the witches for the time being. I’ll come to find you as soon as I’m done with my academy business.”
"Actually, we could let Ms. Carter return to the academy temporarily."
But Danist shook her head:
“I know the significance of that spark, and I understand that before it hatches, my teacher will inevitably be involved in the turmoil in Arcadia City. My teacher told me long ago that simply running away is never the solution. So why not take this opportunity to let my teacher go to Arcadia City first, but you can’t take my teacher to the battlefield.”
Xia De assured:
"Don't worry, if you can't bear to part with it, neither can I."
The sorceress seemed to roll her eyes at Shad, but didn't say anything more, after all, Emilia and Ellie were still watching her:
"Then you three go and take action, remember to be careful."
Emilia appeared ready for battle in front of Daniste, but once they arrived in Topsk with Shad, she immediately relaxed and even told Shad some good news:
“Little Leona has also been trying to obtain the Space Spirit Rune recently. Ellie said that penetrating space is one of the talents of unicorns, so Little Leona should be able to accompany me on adventures outside the academy soon.”
Emilia is now armed with the Ocarina of Time and the Elven Throne. Ellie doesn't have her own weapon, but the little unicorn doesn't need one either.
After arriving home and meeting up with Dorothy, Luvia, and Margaret, Shad informed Winnie of Danist's decision. The Ice Maid had no objection to traveling with her mistress, while Margaret returned to Arcadia City first, asking Sylvia to open a portal and deliver the dragon egg to Fragrant Mansion.
When Sylvia arrived home, Iluna had already joined everyone, and Shad returned from Arcadia City a little later. He had just gone to see Ms. Handel and Joey Barton and obtained some "humanity," which could help Shad resist the emotional memories in the fog.
After all preparations were complete, the girls of the house escorted Shad to the door of bedroom number two. Because there were so many people around, Luvia refrained from kissing Shad, to avoid wasting time if others did the same.
They smiled and waved goodbye to Xia De.
"See you in three seconds, Shad."
"Meow~"
Xiaomia twirled shyly at Shad's feet, and Shad chuckled as he picked her up.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me this time."
The greatest danger of the Forgotten Swamp lies in the white mist outside the temple that can cause amnesia, but as long as Shad prevents Mia from moving around outside the temple, the mission location will have almost no impact on the cat.
After turning the cat into a toy and putting it in his pocket, Shad said goodbye to the girls again, then inserted the cracked key into the lock in front of him:
May the World Tree protect me through endless time.
[Outsider, you have officially stepped into the "Corridor of Time".]
[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of the 2780th year of the Fifth Era, in the underground realm, the Swamp of Oblivion]
[Event: Seeking medical help.]
[Duration: 40 minutes → 80 minutes (2/3)]
You have received additional information.
The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree watches over you.
The ancient god of time has given you a test.
[Assist the Old God, the God of Love, in healing the sick.]
The Father of the Infinite Tree will reward you with the Arcane Art: Enchanting Life.
The second mission lasted exactly the same duration as the first. After confirming that the mission content had not changed, Shad...
He stopped:
"The ray of sunlight that the gods bestowed upon me has already been given to Vige by me, so theoretically speaking, I am very likely to lose my memory again in the fog."
Yes. I will remind you when the time is right.
Shad nodded and took a step forward. Before him was still an endless expanse of white mist, but the dampness within the mist and the distinctive smell of the swamp indicated that this was no longer the [Time Corridor].
In the distance lay the familiar firelight. This time, Xia De didn't waste any time stopping to think; he strode forward and ran. The white mist parted and then closed again as he ran, while Xia De kept repeating in his mind, "Move towards the firelight."
This led to the situation where, when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly arrived in a strange place, because his mind was still following the reminder to keep moving forward, he only slowed down his pace, rather than stopping completely, even though he didn't remember why he was there.
"Where am I? Am I dreaming again? I remember, just now I think I was with Lacia and Margaret..."
Her gentle voice interrupted Xia De's reverie:
You left Mia by the firelight ahead. You said you'd go get her right away.
"what?!"
Shad's pace, which had just slowed down, immediately quickened again. And as he continued running, his hand touched his pocket and then his Mia doll, he immediately realized his situation:
"Isn't Xiaomia in my pocket?"
But wouldn't this help you better recover your memories?
Her method was indeed very effective, and with the addition of what seemed to be a certain degree of "amnesia resistance," this time he arrived at the temple entrance in only half the time he had last time.
