Chapter 2742 Thaumaturgy - Chloe's Ice Echo
Because their emperor did not stop them just now, more maids entered the tent this time to see what was going on, but they were soon all blown out by the invisible wind.
The tent was closed to the outside world, but that didn't mean the girls in the camp knew nothing. Because as the mood of the strongest witch of this era changed, the unconsciously aroused ether directly changed the surrounding celestial phenomena.
The snowflakes in the night sky fell faster and more densely, but the whistling wind was inexplicably gentler. Perhaps only the unicorns, chocobos, and the pet cats and owls raised by the witches did not understand what this meant. Although the witches were busy with their own affairs, most people's minds were no longer here.
When Shad reappeared holding Chloe's hand, he had less than half an hour left in this era. The silver-haired demigod glared at the girls who were looking at them, but the blush on her face that had not yet faded made her eyes no longer as cold as before.
Shade originally planned to do nothing but spend the rest of the time holding Chloe by the campfire, watching the stars and falling snow. However, Chloe, who held his hand and refused to let go, had her own plans:
"I didn't expect you to stay so long at first, but after you came, I asked them to prepare in advance. Xia De, I want to give you a new power. This way, even if I'm not by your side, you can always remember me."
She took Shad out of the camp and stepped directly onto the lake.
Falling Star Lake, which would not freeze even in the cold winter, had a layer of ice under Chloe's boots - the boots were what Shade had just helped her put on. The ice spread all the way to the center of the lake, and at the end of the ice road, a huge circular ice surface was formed in the center of Falling Star Lake.
The maids cast a spell, causing thousands of ice-blue light balls to illuminate the lake surface. They then walked past the two people holding hands and walked towards the ice surface, quickly setting up the ceremony site. When Chloe took Shade's hand and came to the center of the lake, the ritual array carved on the ice was already glittering.
Shade stood in the center of the ritual formation. Chloe took out a small ice doll from the sleeve of her robe and handed it to him. It was clearly her own image:
"You don't need to do anything. Now, Shade, please feel my power carefully."
She came behind Shad, motioned for him to bend down, and then hugged his neck from behind until she was lying on Shad's back with her head emerging from Shad's right shoulder.
Shade knelt on one knee, and in the icy blue ritual light, he held the small ice statue against his chest with both hands and closed his eyes. Then Chloe's warm body and profile, as well as the coldness of the ice statue, came to his mind.
This is probably the gentlest feeling in winter.
【Stranger, you feel inspired. 】
[Outsider, Winter's Blessing has been triggered, and the Witch's Resonance - "Ice Witch Chloe" has been triggered. ]
After a moment's wait, "she" said softly:
[Outlander, you have mastered the magic - Chloe's Ice Echo. ]
[After performing the magic, you can call upon the power of the demigod witch Chloe. During the effect, the surrounding weather will turn into snow, and it will continue to heal your injuries and your companions, restore your spirit and physical strength, and greatly increase the power of your moon, witch, and ice spells. Any energy-releasing spells will have an ice effect.
Required materials: Chloe Marquez's Ice Doll, Witch's Remnant - Ice Witch Chloe. Corresponding to the [Echo] [Time and Space] Spirit Rune. 】
After exchanging the magic "Silent Moonlight" with Miss Orlanod, Shade finally obtained the magic that could restore his soul.
He immediately opened his eyes and turned around to hug Chloe who almost slipped off his back.
The little silver-haired witch looked a little pale, but she still smiled as she looked at Shade:
"This way, you will never forget me. Even if two epochs pass by, even if I am no longer by your side, you will always remember me."
"If you share your power with me, will it permanently deplete your own power?"
"It doesn't matter. The lost power will come back sooner or later, but Shade, I don't want to lose you."
In the center of the snowy lake, it seemed as if the moon had deliberately cast its light on the two of them. The girls standing by the lake saw this scene and were very impressed that their emperor had designed such an ingenious scene.
With some time left, Shade carried Chloe back to the camp by the lake. She did not ask to return to the tent, but asked Shade to hold her and wait for her to fall asleep by the fire:
"That way, I'll know later that you've left."
So Shad hugged her and sat down by the fire, and the cat jumped over and squatted on his shoulder. Shad felt that the six hours of outdoor exercise it had today had exceeded the total amount of exercise it had received since the beginning of the summer.
With his back to the campfire, amidst some crackling sounds, Shad, holding Chloe in his arms, looked up at the night sky covered with falling snow, at the large lake illuminated by ice lamps and ice-blue light balls, at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and at the deepest darkness of the night.
None of the girls dared to disturb this scene, and Chloe really closed her eyes and lay on Shade's chest. No one spoke, and the silver-haired witch actually felt a little sleepy when she heard the heartbeat of the stranger.
In her sleepiness, she felt Shade pressing his fingertips on her forehead, so she whimpered and squirmed a few times on Shade's chest to express her dissatisfaction.
Maybe it was just the next second, maybe it was a long time later, the stranger holding Chloe finally disappeared by the fire with the cat. But the Witch Queen did not fall in front of the fire, but maintained the posture of lying in the air for a long time, and then sat up straight under the worried gaze of the maids.
She pursed her lips and looked down at the snow-covered ground, then looked up at the night sky over the fire in front of her.
He turned around and sat on the cushion, just like Shade just now, with his back to the campfire, looking at the scenery of Falling Star Lake, and finally reached out and touched his forehead.
The mark of the silver burning moon flashed by, and the demigod witch's powerful soul and perception even made her feel like she had touched the moon at that moment.
The girls of the Sixth Age were not demigods. Adele in her past life had the mark but could no longer see the moon. Therefore, Chloe, who was the farthest away from Shade's time, was the first to know what the silver mark meant:
"Silver Moon."
She looked at the moon, as if she was looking at the next era of Xiade.
(Little Mia is running.)
In the endless white fog, the figures of Shade and Mia, who were kicked out of the past time, appeared. The cat had followed Shade here before, so it was not panicked. It squatted on Shade's shoulder with a very well-behaved look.
Xia De raised his head as if he was still looking at the starry sky above the snowfield. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and then he saw the shadow of a giant tree standing in the thick fog, connecting the sky and the earth:
"Tree Father~"
He called out loudly:
"The problem in Vista Forest is imminent. If you can hear my voice, please enlighten me on how to fight against the evil creature transformed from the remains of the World Tree."
The giant tree was swaying in the windless fog, but Shade did not get any inspiration. He just saw a leaf swaying and falling, and then he caught it in his palm:
"Hmm? Why is there the Eternal Youth Leaf? Isn't it the reward for this time?"
Then he discovered that this leaf was just a simple [Leaf of Eternal Youth] and did not contain any knowledge or power.
[It just took back the power, not the carrier. The time in the Night Temple, it added extra opportunities to use the key, this time it just increased the stay time, which is different.]
"She" gently explained to Shade, who also realized this was different because of recent events. Increasing the chances of using the exhausted keys was equivalent to breaking through the limitations and creating new time channels;
But for the time that Shad stayed in the past, he himself did not belong to any time point. His "timestamp" could adapt to any time, so staying for six more hours would only mean pulling him back later.
"I got one leaf from the battle of Moon Bay, another from cutting the coffin tree hole, and this one, so I have three leaves in my hand."
He sighed again and looked up at the shadow of the giant tree:
"So, I have to solve this problem by myself, right?"
The giant tree still did not give any response. Shade looked down at the ice doll in his hand, then turned around and disappeared into the fog with the cat.
The treetops rustled, and then the giant tree disappeared into the mist.
Although Shad and Mia felt that more than six hours had passed, and the cat had even eaten more than one meal, in reality, only three seconds had passed on the Wednesday morning of the eighth day of the Dead Leaf Moon in 1854 of the Sixth Era.
When Shad and Mia stepped out of the study together, he immediately sensed the "fire mark" representing Chloe. And unlike Adele's fire mark which seemed quite vague and distant, he could relatively clearly know the time point where Chloe's fire mark was.
"Although Chloe's time is far away from now, it is normal for the continuous flow of time; but Adele's time does not exist at all."
Although he felt sad and missed the cold but enthusiastic girl, he still managed to meet Chloe and made an appointment to meet again. This was not the first time Shad faced separation, so he quickly adjusted his mood and even began to look forward to the next reunion with Chloe.
To sum up the gains from this adventure, it can even be said to be the greatest of all Time Key adventures.
