Chapter 2742 Thaumatology-Chloe’s Echo of Ice
Because his emperor did not stop him just now, more maids entered the tent this time to see the situation, but soon they were all blown out by the invisible wind.
The tent is closed to the outside world, but this does not mean that the girls in the camp know nothing. Because with the emotional changes of the most powerful witch of this era, the unconsciously induced ether directly changed the surrounding celestial phenomena.
The snowflakes flying in the night sky fell faster and denser, but the howling wind was inexplicably gentler. Probably only unicorns, chocobos, and pet cats and owls raised by witches don’t understand what this means. Although the witches are busy with their own affairs, most people’s minds are not here. .
When Shade appeared again 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 faded made her eyes no longer as cold as before.
Shad originally planned to do nothing, just hold Chloe by the campfire and watch the stars and falling snow to spend the rest of the time, but Chloe held his hand and refused to let go. My own plan:
“I didn’t expect you to stay for so long at first, but after you arrived, I asked them to prepare in advance. Shade, I want to give you a new strength. In this way, even if I am not here, you By my side, you can always remember me.”
She left the camp with Shade, and then stepped directly onto the lake.
Falling Star Lake, which will not freeze even in the cold winter, now has ice under Chloe’s short boots – the boots that Shade had just put on for her. Immediately, the ice spread all the way to the center of the lake, and formed a huge circular ice surface at the end of this ice road, which was in the center of Falling Star Lake.
The maids cast a spell, causing thousands of icy blue light **** to be distributed above the lake for illumination. Then they walked past the two people holding hands to the ice, and quickly arranged the ceremony venue. When Chloe took Shade’s hand and arrived at the center of the lake, the ritual matrix carved on the ice was already shining.
Shad stood in the center of the ritual formation. Chloe took out a small ice puppet 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 seriously.”
She came behind Shade, signaled Shade to bend over, and hugged his neck from behind until she lay on Shade’s back, with her head emerging from Shade’s right shoulder. .
Shad knelt down on one knee, hugged the ice statuette with both hands against his chest and closed his eyes in the icy blue ritual light. Then Chloe’s warm body and profile, as well as the coldness of the ice doll, came to her heart.
This is probably the gentlest feeling in winter.
[Outlander, you feel enlightened. 】
[Outlander, the blessing of winter has been triggered, the witch’s reverberation – “Ice Witch Chloe” has been triggered. 】
After a moment of waiting, “she” said softly:
[Outlander, you have mastered the thaumaturgy – Chloe’s Echo of Ice. 】
[Execute the magic technique to summon the power of the demigod witch Chloe. During the duration of the effect, the surrounding weather will change to snowy weather, and it will continue to heal the injuries, spirit, and physical strength of you and your companions, and greatly increase your moon, The power of witches and ice-like spells. Any energy-releasing spells will have ice effects.
Required casting materials: Chloe Marquez’s ice puppet, Witch Reverberation – Ice Witch Chloe. Corresponds to the [Echo] [Time and Space] spiritual rune. 】
After exchanging the thaumaturgy “Silent Moonlight” to Miss Olanold, Shade finally obtained another thaumaturgy that could restore his spirit.
He immediately opened his eyes, turned around and hugged Chloe who almost slipped off his back.
The silver-haired little witch looked a little pale, but she still smiled when she looked at Shade:
“In this way, you will never forget me. Even if we are two eras apart, even if I am no longer by your side, you will always remember me.”
“Sharing your power with me will 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 big lake in the snow, it seemed as if the moon had deliberately cast its light on the two of them. The girls standing by the lake all saw this scene, and they all admired their emperor for designing such an exquisite scene.
With some time left, Shade carried Chloe back to the camp by the lake. She did not ask to return to the camp, but asked Shade to hug her and wait for her to fall asleep by the fire:
“This way, I will know later that you have left.”
Shade then hugged her and sat down by the fire. The cat also jumped over and squatted on his shoulder. The amount of outdoor exercise it had done in the past six hours today, Shade felt, had exceeded all the amount of exercise since summer. Sum up.
With his back to the bonfire, amidst the slight crackling sound, Shade held Chloe in his arms and looked up at the snowy night sky, at the large lake illuminated by ice lampposts and icy blue light balls. Toward the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance and the deepest darkness in the night.
No one of the girls dared to disturb this scene, and Chloe really closed her eyes and lay on Shade’s chest. No one spoke. The silver-haired witch actually felt a little sleepy when she listened to the stranger’s heartbeat.
While sleepy, she felt Shade put his fingertips on her eyebrows, so she made a whimpering sound and squirmed a few times on Shade’s chest to express her dissatisfaction.
Maybe it was just the next second, or maybe it took a long time, but the stranger holding Chloe finally disappeared by the fire together with the cat. But the Witch Emperor did not fall in front of the fire because of this. Instead, she remained lying in the air for a long time before sitting up straight under the worried gazes of the maids.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the snow-covered ground, then looked up at the night sky over the fire in front of her.
Turn around, sit on the cushions like Shade just now, with his back to the bonfire and look at the scenery of Falling Star Lake, and finally he reached out to touch his eyebrows.
The mark of the silver burning moon flashed past, and the demigod witch’s powerful soul and perception even made her feel as if she had touched the moon at this moment.
The girls in the Sixth Age are not demigods. Adele in the past has the mark but can no longer see the moon. Therefore, Chloe, who is the furthest away from Shade’s era, is the first to know what this silver mark means:
“Silver Moon.”
She looked at the moon, as if she was looking at Shade in the next era.
(Little Mia is running.)
In the endless white mist, the figures of Shade and little Mia, who had been kicked out of the past time, appeared. The cat had followed Shade here before, so it didn’t panic. It squatted on Shade’s shoulder and looked very obedient. .
Xia De raised his head as if he was still looking at the starry sky above the snowfield. It took him a long time to 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 shouted loudly:
“The problem of Vesta Grove is imminent. If you can hear my voice, please enlighten me on how to fight against the evil thing transformed from the remains of the World Tree?”
The giant tree was swaying in the windless fog, but Shade didn’t get any inspiration. He just saw a leaf falling swayingly, and then he caught it in his hand:
“Huh? Why are there immortal leaves? It’s not the reward this time”
Then he discovered that this leaf was just a “leaf of youth” and did not contain any knowledge or power.
[It just takes back the power, not the carrier. That time at the Night Temple, additional key use opportunities were added, but this time only the stay time was increased, which is different. 】
“She” explained gently in Shade’s ear. Shade only understood the difference because of recent events. Increasing the use opportunities of exhausted keys is equivalent to breaking through the limitations and creating new time channels;
But for the time that Shade stayed in the past, he itself did not belong to any point in time. His “time stamp” could adapt to any time, so staying for six more hours would just pull him back later. That’s all.
“One piece was left over from the Battle of Yuewan, and one piece was obtained by cutting off the coffin tree hole. Adding this piece, 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 the problem myself?”
The giant tree still didn’t give any reply. Shade looked down at the ice puppet in his hand, then turned around and disappeared from the fog with the cat.
The crown of the tree rustled, and then the giant tree disappeared into the fog.
Although more than six hours have passed since Shade and Mia’s physical sensations, and the cat even ate more than one meal, in fact it was the early morning of Wednesday on the eighth day of the Dead Leaf Moon in 1854 of the Sixth Era , only three seconds passed.
When Shade and Mia stepped out of the study door together, he immediately felt the “fire mark” representing Chloe. And unlike Adele’s fire mark, which seemed rather vague and distant, he could relatively clearly know the point in time where Chloe’s fire mark was.
“Although Chloe’s time is far away from the present, that time is normal for the continuous time flow; but Adele’s time does not exist at all.”
Although I felt melancholy and missed that cold but enthusiastic girl, I still managed to meet Chloe and made an appointment to meet again. This was not the first time that Shade had 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.
