Chapter 2873 Mission Miasma and the Princess
If the pink tree representing the sage-level relic is really in the city, its combat power must be inconsistent with the containment records, so the search team needs to be led by a strong enough ring warlock. The three thirteenth ring warlocks of the Church of the Sun and the Church of Nature, plus the Chosen One Iluna, originally planned to divide the city into four parts, and let the four of them lead the team to patrol separately.
But now that Professor Danister of St. Byrons is also in the city, the original division into four can be changed to one into five.
"Professor Danister, how many ring sorcerers are there from Saint Byrons within the city limits?"
Miss Maria asked. The red-haired sorceress glanced at Shade who was sitting next to her.
"The professors of the academy are all outside the city. I went to the city tonight to contact the witches of the Witch Council, so I stayed here. They said they could help. Let them handle some of the patrol work. The God Summoner is also willing to help."
So Xia De, who had been silent all the time, nodded. He made up his mind not to speak unless necessary, which would help to create his own personality.
Others present did not ask any more questions about this. Since she was able to "encounter" the God Summoner on the road, it was normal for her to have a relationship with the witch. Now was not the time to inquire about such things. This time it could only be considered as confirmation that Saint Byrons had indeed been in contact with the "God Summoner" for a long time - maybe the "God Summoner" was the ring sorcerer who Saint Byrons came from.
"Everyone, this is the city map of Vista City."
The strongest twelve-ring sorcerer stationed in the Natural Church cast a spell and used illusion to create a huge urban sand table above the conference table.
Then the emerald green line divided the city along the main blocks of Vista City. Miss Maria signaled Miss Danister to choose first, so Miss Danister chose the east side of the city.
In just a dozen minutes, the green miasma outside the window looked even thicker than when the two of them came. After the short meeting, Shade and Miss Danister did not leave immediately, but chatted with Mr. Yuri Aston, a candidate from the Church of Nature, and the "Blade of the Sky" from the early Sixth Era.
Of course, this was agreed upon by the church, and Iluna did not get the chance to chat with Shad.
The place of the conversation was this conference room. Mr. Yuri Aston, whom Shade met for the first time, was a middle-aged man in his thirties with rather sparse hair. He looked quite scholarly, and such a person should be more likely to appear in a school or library than on a battlefield.
Mr. Yuri Aston has worked in the local church for more than 20 years. He had only heard of the story of the "God Caller" before, so he was very respectful when he met the "God Caller" this time. He also saw that the "God Caller" mainly wanted to talk to the Paladin, so after he showed up, he just greeted Shade and agreed to come back to him if he needed anything, and then hurried to other places in the church to help.
As for the "Blade of the Sky" who looked like a righteous character, Shade just heard people call him "Mr. Astraea":
"I've heard stories about you."
Miss Danister also avoided this place for the time being, so only the two knights were left to talk.
Before Shade opened his mouth, the paladin spoke first. He relied on the power of time to know the language of the present era, but because the language he originally used was the prototype of the modern Carsenric common language, although most people could understand what he said, there were many ancient grammars and words that were rarely used today.
This is somewhat similar to the way Sister Defulyn speaks.
"Actually, I was going to say that I've heard of your legend."
Xia De then smiled and said, the two sat on both sides of the circular conference table, with hot tea in front of each of them. The conference room was illuminated by the gas lamps on the wall, and the atmosphere looked very friendly. And not only was he curious about the gentleman opposite him, the gentleman opposite him was also very curious about him.
“My legends are all things of the past, but you are still creating legends.”
The Paladin looked at Shade with a powerful look in his eyes:
"After I came to this era, you appear in most of the modern legends I heard. Modern people may have accepted your existence voluntarily or forcibly, but do you want to know what I, who have listened to your stories for half a week, think of you?"
Although the topic of the chat was not what Shade originally thought of, he didn't mind talking about it:
"Please say."
"The great prophecy of the Whispering Poems did not appear after the stabilization of the Sixth Era. In fact, in my time, the legend about the great prophecy left by the witch emperors of the previous era had already been circulating."
He asked Shad:
"Almost every appearance of the Chosen One is related to you, but you are not the Chosen One. If I am not mistaken, you should know the truth about the Great Prophecy better than our Five Gods Church, right?"
Xia De shook his head seriously:
"That's not true. In fact, I don't know what the thirteen chosen ones predicted in the Great Prophecy mean to this world. Now I can only say that they are related to the doomsday that is bound to come. If the church has other understandings about the Whispering Poems, I would also like to hear your opinions."
The Paladin also shook his head seriously:
"There are indeed some theories, but they are all speculations without any evidence. After I came to this era, I also asked the people of this era about these things, but unfortunately I didn't get any answers.
I don't belong to this era, and it's even more impossible for me to stay here permanently. I just hope that someone as capable as you can make the right choice at the right time. The poem has turned to the eighth chapter, and there shouldn't be much time left.
Although you don't belong to the church, there should be no essential conflict between you and the church. If possible, I hope you can start comprehensive cooperation with us as soon as possible. I know that there are also shadows in the Orthodox Church of this era. Similar problems have occurred in Yuewan and Vesta Parish, but at least we are still fighting for civilization and the world, right? "
Xia De really wanted to hear the story of the early era from the other party, but due to the urgency of time, he could only make an appointment with the other party to talk again when he had time.
After meeting up with Miss Danister, the two quickly returned to the hotel. After explaining the situation to Carina, Miss Sylvia and Flora, the three witches said they could take people out to search for the tree.
"Sylvia and I will go. Shade, you go and see Margaret's condition alone and then join us. Flora and Miss Danister will stay here first. Luvia's divination should have results soon."
The Duchess made such arrangements. Although neither she nor Miss Sylvia were at the thirteenth ring, in an urban environment, a thirteenth ring could not fight with all their might, so a twelfth-level witch should be enough.
After taking the Night Watcher, Shade set out immediately. At this time, the green miasma outside had become even thicker, as if he had entered a green version of the narrow gap between life and death. When the silver cat jumped over the wall into the Green Shade Manor where Margaret was staying, he could no longer open his eyes. It was not because he was sleepy, but because the miasma was very blinding.
The lights were still on in the manor, but the whole manor was silent. The "Heart of Stone" allowed Shade to listen to the heartbeats of people when they were asleep. It seemed that there was no one awake in the whole manor. Although Miss Sylvia left two "bodyguards" from the Central Ring for Margaret, the bodyguards had also fallen into a deep sleep.
Shade had never been here before, but relying on his familiarity with similar manors, he quickly found Margaret's bedroom on the third floor of the manor. He carefully let the maids lying on the carpet in the corridor float to the wall, and then opened the door with the door key.
A faint scent of incense wafted in his face. Even though the princess' bedroom was only temporarily arranged, the interior decoration looked extremely luxurious. Shade walked straight to the bedside and saw Margaret's sleeping face with her long golden hair scattered on the white pillow. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
[Ahem. 】
"I know, I know. I don't have any weird thoughts."
Margaret was a witch apprentice in the Central Ring after all. Although she fell into a dream, she did not turn into a tree. She also did not have the deep obsession of Ajelina. Shade just held her in his arms and gently shook her a few times, then called her name twice, and Her Royal Highness opened her hazy eyes.
"Margaret, Margaret!"
"Shad."
She didn't understand the current situation immediately, but asked:
"Has the United Kingdom of Carsenrick really perished?"
Xia De then understood what she was dreaming about, so he shook her gently again:
"What are you talking about? I was expecting you to become my queen."
[Expecting that dream to become reality? ]
Shade pretended not to hear, but when she heard the word "Queen", the princess, who looked extremely weak, finally woke up. She could clearly hear Shade's heartbeat while lying in Shade's arms, and Shade found that Margaret and Mia had a very similar characteristic - their bodies would be slightly hot a moment after they woke up:
"My knight, this is such a nightmare. You are here to save me again, right?"
As she spoke, she hugged Shade's neck and made him lower his head to kiss her. Although she had just woken up, because the witch apprentice had some of the characteristics of a witch, the princess' breath was very fresh, and in the hot kiss, Margaret also woke up completely:
"It looks like something big has happened. Are Teacher Sylvia and the others okay?"
"Fortunately, they asked me to wake you up first. But I have to leave now, and the trouble outside has not been dealt with yet. Don't leave the manor, the church's team responsible for protecting the city has already set out, and you pretend to be asleep later, and they will come to wake you up."
"Wait a minute."
The princess pulled Shad's sleeve, made him lower his head, and kissed him on the forehead:
"I wish you all the best. There will always be a place for you in my knight's and my room."
