"The key to this connection lies in the connection of fate. The fate of the Shining Messenger and mine has already merged into one. Although the damage to the ship will not cause me any harm, if the ship suddenly sinks one day."
"Don't say that, and even if the boat sinks, I will salvage it."
Shade interrupted her, and the blue-eyed girl smiled, closed her mouth, and handed the snake skin back.
Soon the maid brought the relic that the Council had prepared for Miss Larson, which could protect her from the perspective of fate. Although it was not an angel-level relic, a sage-level relic would be enough if it only focused on defense.
The mahogany box was opened, and then everyone saw the blood-stained white veil. Even Xia De, who didn't know much about women's clothing, immediately realized that the veil came from a wedding dress.
"How can there be such a strong curse?"
He asked, Xiwei nodded:
"The curse is part of the power of this relic. Although this relic has been in the Council for a long time, it was not until Siris of the Forgotten Cult appeared beside Vanessa that we determined its full characteristics:
The Sage-level relic, [The Forgotten Bride], is immune to divination and fate interference after wearing it. Although it has little effect on relics that choose fate like [Forked Path Kaleidoscope], it is very effective against relics that can write fate to a certain extent, such as scripts and spinning wheels.
The negative characteristic is that it is easy to be forgotten after being worn, until it disappears completely, so when Vanessa brings Sirius here, Sirius will need to provide the blessed relics of the [Forgotten Order] to resist the negative effects.
By the way, if you smell a strong smell of blood on your veil while wearing it, take it off immediately.”
The remains were transferred to Miss Larson:
"The Forsaken have records of the origin of this relic. It was probably in the late Fourth Age when a bride killed all the guests and her husband on her wedding day, then cut off her own head and committed suicide. The veil became an extremely powerful cursed item in that dark and chaotic era, but it became a relic again in the Fifth Age.
It could originally curse anyone who wore it, but after becoming a relic, its properties changed, which is rare among relics. The Speaker believes that this is because the resentment attached to the veil has two different emotions. "
Although they were at the dining table, Xiwei still signaled Miss Larson to try the relic immediately.
The white-haired girl also knew that it was safest to experiment now, so she carefully picked up the veil, gently combed the folded part to restore its natural drape, and then distinguished the front and back before trying to wear it on her head.
The bloodstained white veil hung down in front of her, and everyone at the table felt that Miss Larson, who was still sitting at the table, was inexplicably moving away from them. Although she sat there obediently and a little nervously, she seemed to be going to a very far place.
“The sense of presence is declining.”
Claire said softly, so Miss Elaiser took out some cards and tried to tell her fortune.
Although the boat girl also knows divination, she is not deeply involved in fate. But now Miss Larson is by her side, and theoretically, even if the divination is not accurate, there should be a result. But when Miss Elither finally turned over the cards, she saw three identical "upright death".
"No problem, this is considered a success. Claire, let your apprentice carry this relic with him and wear it when needed. Just put a sprig of rosemary in the veil on a daily basis, but when not in use at night, remember to put it in the red mahogany container lined with lead plate."
Xiwei instructed, and the white-haired girl took off the veil. When asked how she felt, she said hesitantly:
"When I first put it on, I seemed to hear a woman whispering."
"What did she say?"
"She said - [Let marriage forget me]."
After dinner, Claire and Xiwei discussed the manpower arrangement and the subsequent investigation plan for the island. Before, there was a shortage of manpower, but now with Xiwei's support, Claire hoped to conduct a large-scale investigation and search of the entire island to find out those suspicious places.
Shad remembered that Luvia and Dorothy were going to make ink at home tonight, so he was ready to go back after dinner. So the witches said goodbye to Shad, and the idle boat girl planned to see Shad off.
But in fact, he could go home directly by throwing away the crystal shoes, so the boat girl naturally wanted to be alone with Xia De for a while.
They then went to the deck together and stood at the end facing the sea. Above their heads was the high sea of stars, in front of them was the boundless sea, and on both sides they could see the sea cliffs and mountain peaks extending from the snow-capped mountains to the foot of the mountain.
The Radiant Emissary remained in its camouflage state, but Shad could see its true appearance.
The modifications around the end of the year, in addition to adding more gun muzzles and firing points to the ships, and treating the shipboard wood with special coatings to enhance the ship's resistance, the most critical part of the modification was the addition of suspension capabilities based on the "floating city technology" recorded by ancient witches.
The "Glorious Messenger" could actually fly originally, but that was because Miss Elither used her own ability to control the ship to fly, so the speed was not very fast. Now the ship itself has the ability to fly, and the speed of flight has become faster.
According to what Xivi said at the dinner table just now, although the maneuverability of the Glorious Messenger in the air cannot be compared with that on the water, it is definitely better than any other large flying object of this era.
"How did you find the floating city technology? I remember Megan and Audrey said that the parliament only kept the most basic theoretical technology, right?"
The two stood side by side, enjoying the sea breeze, and the blue-eyed boat girl winked playfully:
"When we were cleaning up the cabin, we found some traces of a large-scale ceremony that had not yet been completed under the wooden boards at the bottom of the cabin. It is impossible to reproduce the ceremony, but it is still possible to complete it."
Now Shade understood that Miss Violet had already made preliminary modifications to the ship in the Fifth Era, but had not completed it and was waiting to continue processing it in the Sixth Era.
This is similar to Chloe's castle, which does not explicitly point to Shade, but requires that the person who inherits the castle must have her power.
"Now that the transformation of mobility has been preliminarily completed, then Shade, do you think I have made any changes?"
She spun around again, letting her skirt spread out like a flower. It was some kind of dance move.
Xia De observed very carefully:
"I seem to be taller? Are my legs longer?"
"About a centimeter."
The boat girl gestured at her waist, and seeing that Xia De's eyes were indeed following her, she smiled and asked softly:
"Do you want to take a closer look?"
"Yes, ahem, I mean your body proportions are perfect to begin with, a change of one centimeter is hard to notice."
“You’re really good at talking.”
She sighed softly, then reached out and hugged Shade. Born in the Lightless Sea, she still remembered Shade's warm embrace, which made her feel at ease:
"The ninth story begins again."
"Yes, it has started again. Everyone has to gather together again."
"Like you, I also like the lively atmosphere. I'll try to find time to spend more time with Xiwei."
She suddenly said this, and seeing Xia De looking at her in surprise, the boat girl smiled and lowered her voice:
"Xiwei is not a fool. You are obviously closer to Jialina and the others than to her. Even if she is slow, she should have sensed it in a year. Although the witches of this era are somewhat different from the era I was born in, a great witch is still a great witch. Once she makes up her mind, she will be very capable of action. Xia De, be prepared."
Xia De blinked and did not continue the topic:
"Actually, I want to ask you about someone, Sister Belen, the Fire Sister of the Fifth Era. You know her, right?"
The boat girl carefully observed Xia De's expression, then let him go and nodded:
"I know you. Although we haven't met many times, we have chatted. I know your story in the Tombstone Wasteland."
She leaned closer to Shade:
"Can't accept her leaving?"
"No, I just want to know why she didn't use this."
The feather of the angel of requiem was taken out by Shade, and the blue-eyed boat girl shook her head:
“Some deaths are destined, and even the power of angels cannot bring about their demise.
Although that nun was promoted to the thirteenth level shortly after your adventure ended, and also went on adventures with Majesty Violet for a while, but a thirteenth-level witch is just a mortal, isn't she?
At the end of her life, like the great fire nuns in history, she burned herself in the flames, sealed the dangerous unknowable relic, and protected the world. When Her Majesty Violet arrived, everything was over.
But the nuns held the fire in their lives, and became part of the flame after death. She is still by your side, and I think she should have said this to you as well."
Xia De sighed softly:
"I just feel a little regretful. But if we really want to meet again, it's not impossible. After all, the destination is there, and I can row the boat over there."
The boat girl took his hand and said:
"Don't think too much. You still have to work hard to get other witches who don't have definite information to come to you, right?"
Xia De nodded firmly and looked closely into the boat girl's blue eyes. Finally, they kissed each other under the starry sky.
After Shad said goodbye to her and threw away the crystal shoes, Miss Elither, with a blush on her face and the blue dragon tail exposed behind her, first lowered her head to tidy up her collar that was messed up by Shad, then looked up and turned to look at the towering snow-capped mountain behind the town.
The great tail drooped on the deck, but the tip of the tail was swaying from side to side.
She remembered that in the distant Fifth Era, she had come to the foot of this snowy mountain and seen this town, but that was thousands of years ago.
