Chapter 2738 The Meaning of Ferry
Mrs. Nelson sat up hurriedly. Although her husband was beside her, she was even more confused when she saw the strange young man and the two witches looking at her:
"What exactly happened here?"
Ms. Bullock looked at Shad and hesitated to speak. She was quite curious about what Shad had done to convince the "boatman" to help, but Shad was unwilling to talk about it:
"Hello, lady, you are lost here. The past is not important. Forget it all and get ready to leave now. I will take you back."
The woman nodded slowly:
"Okay, thank you very much. I just remember a pair of purple eyes looking at me. Is that lady lost too?"
"Well I have rescued her."
So Adele might be right. Anything related to the end of the world, as long as there is no answer, is likely to be related to Luvia:
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get ready to go home."
Shade raised his voice slightly and stood up to draw the attention of everyone around the campfire:
"We are able to meet here because everyone has their own reasons. But no matter what, life has become meaningful again and everyone has a new goal. It's time to go back. I hope you won't set foot here again."
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson hugged each other and thanked them again. Miss McConaughey nodded quickly. Ms. Bullock was a little bored, but when she thought that she would have to spend the rest of her life looking for a way to see her sister after death, the long-lost feeling of anticipation surged up in her heart again:
"I want to pass on the legend that in times of crisis, witches will encounter a special man who falls from the sky. I wonder what the girls in the future will think of him."
The bonfire was originally here, so there was no need for everyone to deal with it. Apart from a small amount of daily necessities, they didn't need to take anything away. Even the things dug out from under the sand, except for the [Demon Hunting Seal] that Ms. Bullock intended to take away, everything else was left behind:
"The legacy of the demon hunters cannot be lost here."
So after Shad said he could leave, Mr. Nelson supported his wife, and Ms. Bullock and Miss McConaughey walked side by side, and they all followed Shad to the pier.
But Shade did not let them get on the boat immediately. Instead, he touched the cat and found some bone powder from his pocket. After sprinkling the bone powder into the black water under the pier, his boat emerged with a gurgling sound.
Shad's boat was smaller than the boatman's, but just as crude. He maneuvered his boat to the stern of the boatman's boat, and then used the "sin chain" to connect the two boats.
After doing all this, he signaled everyone to board the boat. Because the space was larger, there was no need for everyone to squeeze together. In the end, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson sat on the boatman's boat, while the two witches sat on Shade's boat.
So the stern where the boatman was originally standing became the very end of the fleet. After Shad took the sturdy wooden oar from Him, the "boatman" himself sat directly on his own boat, facing the Nelsons.
Finally, Shade asked:
"The last few times I came to row the boat, I took the same route you had taken. But I have never been to the correct time point corresponding to them. Can't you teach me some tricks?"
But it seems that the teaching skills of the "Boatman" are the same as those of Ms. Block just now. They all demonstrate it once and then assume that Shade can master it. Therefore, God did not answer this question.
So Shade changed his statement:
"I need to at least know where the destination is. I've never been there."
The tall figure in black robe sat down and pointed at the 13th-level witch sitting at the front of the fleet. Xia De sighed:
"I understand, but if I really go the wrong way later, please remind me in time."
He returned to his boat:
"Ms. Bullock, may I borrow your hair to use as a beacon? I need to locate our destination."
Witches have mentioned many times that their hair is the best material for casting witch magic, and can also represent themselves to a certain extent.
Ms. Bullock then took three long hairs and handed them to Shade, who wrapped them around his wrists and walked to the bow with the oars. She gently stroked the cat on her shoulder, and seeing that it was unwilling to return to her pocket, she did not force it:
"Everyone sit down, let's go."
The oars entered the water and were pushed back, and the fleet sailed lightly out of the dock.
At this time, the people on the boat turned their heads to look at the gradually blurry beach, pier and bonfire, and then looked in the direction the boat was heading, but all they saw was endless darkness.
There was no ticket for this trip, and the "boatman" asked Xia De to carry everyone back by himself. With the oars in his hands and the two strange boats under Xia De's control, they went farther and farther in the boundless waters. Although Xia De was worried that he would not be able to find the route, fortunately he had already taken the initiative to try "crossing space" once in the real world.
So after the boat had completely left the dock, he tried to grasp that feeling again. No one spoke, even the cat just squatted on his shoulder and looked around.
At a certain moment, thick fog appeared from the darkness ahead. When the boat sailed into the thick fog, the stranger finally breathed a sigh of relief:
“Fortunately it was successful.”
He continued to row the oars in his hand, and the small fleet continued to move forward in the fog with the sound of water. As the thick fog suddenly disappeared at a certain moment, the moonlight illuminated the fleet appearing in the lake from above.
Under the night sky, a lush forest surrounded a large lake. Shade didn't know where this place was, but it was definitely the real world. The warm summer breeze was particularly comfortable on his body, the Milky Way hung upside down in the night sky, and the three moons were as beautiful as the moons of the Sixth Era.
The "passengers" who saw the starry sky also looked around from the ship. Ms. Bullock recognized where this was after just a quick look:
“When I entered the dark town outside the beach, I started from the bottom of the lake. We really came back.”
She looked up at the star map again. Although her goal was the seat of death, she also had the ability to observe the stars:
"Has only seven days passed since I left reality?"
So Shade continued to row the boat, bringing everyone closer to the small dock on the shore of the nameless lake. This was a lake in the forest, and the dock looked particularly shabby, but at least it was still usable.
After the fleet came to a steady stop, the Nelson couple and the two witches got off the boat. The wooden planks of the pier creaked as their shoes and boots stepped on them. When they stepped into the real world again, they felt as if hundreds of years had passed since they left.
Everyone has different feelings of melancholy, which is a common emotion after an adventure. When they saw Xia De still standing on the boat with the oars, they knew that Xia De would not leave with them.
They wanted to say goodbye to Shade, but except for the 13th-rank witch, the other three had blank expressions on their faces:
"What happened just now? Where is this place? Oh, why do I suddenly have a headache?"
They forgot about Black Sand Pier and what happened there.
Ms. Bullock was not surprised at all. She ignored the three people and took the notebook from Miss McConaughey and handed it to Shade:
"If I'm not mistaken, I think we may never have the chance to meet again."
Shade smiled and said:
"It's better not to see you again. After all, wherever I appear must be dangerous. But no matter what, I am very grateful to you and your sister."
The candidate Great Witch of Death shook her head and stared at Shade's face:
"I should be the one thanking you. I can see now that you are there just for that woman who has been to the apocalypse, right? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you want to help me and Miss McConaughey or not."
But if Shade ignored them and let them leave by boat, then Shade could still complete the task, but he obviously wouldn't get the spirit runes and power, and it would be difficult to pay for the boat ticket later:
"Actually, I don't need to help Mrs. Nelson. I just need to watch her appear. But... I don't have anything else to do anyway. I like this sense of accomplishment."
The witch then laughed too:
"I really don't know how lucky the witches are to have the honor of living in the same era as you."
Seeing that Xia De had an expression on his face that showed he didn't know how to answer, she waved at Xia De again:
"You still have things to do, so let's say goodbye here. I will send the three of them back, and I will also communicate with the Prophet Association. The adventure is over, but life goes on. I have been missing for seven days. I don't know if the girls under my command have seen my suicide note. I hope it hasn't scared them."
"I feel like your reappearance would scare them. If they think you're dead, maybe someone will act unimportant."
Shade also waved at her. Although Ms. Anya Bullock was not the protagonist of this adventure, she and her sister left the deepest impression on Shade:
"Well, goodbye, Ms. Bullock. I hope you can sit in the seat of death soon. I hope you can meet your sister again before the dark moon after death."
The witch threw him a black pendant. It looked like it was made by melting sand into crystals. It looked like a small black sickle.
"I'll give it to you as a gift. I made it by the fire when I was bored. Goodbye, man from the future, goodbye!"
The oars moved on the water, and the two boats headed for the lake again. The other three people whose hearing was blocked just now didn't know what this meant. The middle-aged witch stood at the edge of the small dock by the lake, watching the two boats go farther and farther under the starry sky until they completely melted into the night.
