Although the history of the Sixth Era records that Fiona Drago was the second principal of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, this means that Miss Feliana and Miss Orlanod would most likely rescue her. But it is also possible that the school residence was obtained in memory of Fiona's sacrifice, and her name was inherited by other witches.
What's more, Shade had promised Fiona that he would take her out. After so many adventures and such a long journey with Fiona, he had to keep his promise:
"Hold me tight!"
He had already made preparations. In the last thirty seconds, he would fight the God of Night who came in an unknown form head-on, and then leave here with Fiona. He didn't need to win, as long as he left the Evernight City. He didn't believe that without the God's Descent Ceremony, the power of the God of Night could spread outside the Evernight City.
Xia De was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the god in front of him in the state of divine descent. His divine descent form was close to the "God of the Moon". Facing the "God of Night", he was not worried about being restrained. He might even be immune to some of the opponent's attacks.
However, after "she" laughed softly in his ear, Xia De did not hear the sentence "You are me":
It's time to go.
"What? No, it's not time yet, I haven't..."
In an instant, thick white fog surged in from all around and completely surrounded Xia De in the blink of an eye.
When he came to his senses, he was already in a foggy corridor of time. In front of him was a transparent giant tree that seemed to support the world. The years were engraved on the trunk of the giant tree, and every leaf recorded the story of time.
One of the leaves was spinning and falling downwards. Whenever Shade saw this giant tree that represented the shadow of the ancient god Infinite Tree Father, he would always feel melancholy or sad. But at this moment, he felt his whole body cold, and his heart seemed to stop beating.
"What's going on? Don't I still have at least twenty seconds?"
The leaves representing the Night Spirit Rune slowly fell. Shade did not stretch out his hand. The cat on his chest, which was woken up by Shade's "shouting" just now, squeezed out its little head and raised its head to look at the illusory giant tree.
The shadow of time was reflected in the cat's amber eyes. The cat meowed suspiciously and stretched out its front paws to catch the leaf that was about to fall.
Reminder from the Father of Infinite Trees:
You cannot directly use divine power in the past. The ripples in the long river of time can be ignored, but the earth wall across the river will have a huge impact on the world.
"So, I was forced to end this adventure early because I wanted to use my divinity? But what about Fiona? Did I leave her alone in Evernight City?"
Shade asked incredulously, Bimiya caught the leaf in advance. Hearing the sound of meow, he realized that the cat had traveled through time with him without becoming a toy.
It was not a creature of that era, so it was also driven out.
She explained softly, Shade was only thinking about Fiona's safety and had no time to think about the cat who was now safe.
"But what about Fiona? I can't leave her there!"
He looked at the leaf in his hand blankly:
"Even if I find a time point after the autumn of the fifth era 3028 in the future, Fiona has been alone in Evernight City for so many years. Can I still save her?"
so
"She" smiled gently, as if she didn't understand Xia De's near despair at all. After going through so many things, even when he faced the evil god for the first time, Xia De didn't feel such despair and regret.
Maybe there is a way.
"What is the solution?"
Xia De suddenly raised his head and saw the giant tree that was about to disappear. He stretched out his hands, held up the leaf, and prayed to the tree father:
"You are the Ancient God of Time, you are the starting point and the end point of time! Father of the Infinite Tree, protector of nature and elves, please help me, even if only this time, please let me return to the Evernight City in the autumn of the 3028th year of the Fifth Epoch! Even if it is the last chance, even if it is only for a few short seconds, please let me go back there..."
The stranger had never prayed for a miracle to happen to him, he always believed in his own plans. But at this moment, he hoped very much that a miracle would happen to him.
The Father of Infinite Trees, who had never disappointed anyone, did not disappoint Shade this time either.
The warm spring breeze blows, caressing the leaves on the transparent branches that record the stories of time.
Her laughter was still so gentle. It was not that she could not understand Shade's feelings. She was just comforting the stranger in her own way:
Message from the Father of Infinite Tree:
By giving this reward, the opening time of the next time key will be postponed by one month, and you can re-enter the autumn of the Fifth Era 3028. The time interval from the time of leaving is 1 second, and the stay time this time is 3 minutes.
Even though the leaf represented the "dark night" which was extremely important to Shade, Shade agreed without hesitation:
"no problem!"
He believed that with his understanding of the night, this spiritual rune would appear on his life ring sooner or later.
Shade raised his hands high, holding the leaf up, and watched it fly back to the swaying treetops:
“Can I wait a while before entering, instead of going in right away?”
The treetops rustled, and the white mist gradually dissipated. Shade felt as if he was being hugged by someone. After seeing the things in front of him clearly, he found that he had stumbled back to the corridor of the Wilde Opera House at midnight on Saturday, the eighth day of the Windy Moon, in late winter of the Sixth Era 1854.
The time key of 3028 that had shattered when it was last used, now reassembled itself into a key shape from the lock hole as if time had gone backwards, and flew into Shade's hands. However, the cracks on the surface of the key were clearer than ever before, and there was a flickering pure white light in each crack.
This was the color of the white mist that Shade was familiar with, and this key was different from any previous key.
Outsider, you need to open the "Key on the Verge of Breaking" within two hours.
"She" reminded softly.
"no problem."
You still can't use the power of divinity in the past, so you have to...
"Shad, what's going on?"
Luvia, who was waiting for Shade, noticed that his expression was not right immediately because there was only a three-second gap. Thinking that Shade had encountered something, the purple-eyed girl immediately stepped forward to check his body:
"What happened to you? Oh, why are your hands so cold?"
"Something happened. My hands are so cold because I was scared. Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends... I need to go see Miss Danister."
He spoke quickly, then noticed that he was breathing heavily. He put his hand on his chest, and the force of his heart hitting his chest surprised him.
Even though he knew that it would only take a second to unlock this special key in his hand, he still felt an urgent sense of urgency:
"In addition, all plans and arrangements have to be changed. Since this has happened, I think there may be different situations... Send a message to Yin Luna and ask her to wait for me in the secret passage under the Night Temple as soon as possible. Yes, I suddenly understand something. The Time Key is indeed related to all my experiences."
Luvia didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway:
"I have Yin Luna's contact information. And Miss Danister, right? No problem. I was worried that you might run into her when you leave for the city later. She has been asking about the location of the professors at St. Byron's."
Luvia said, she has always been so reliable:
"Are you going to see that professor? Tonight? Now?"
Luvia asked, and Shade clenched his hands:
"Yes, go immediately. The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner I can join the final battle... I need to find a way."
"What road?"
Luvia asked, and Shade looked out of the city with deep eyes, as if he could see the scenery of Evernight City again:
"Being able to go in and out of St. Byrons at night, along the ancient roads."
Although it had been forty minutes since Shade entered the Evernight City, and the doctor's potion had fully taken effect, removing the erosion of the demonic domain from Shade's body, in fact, for the Sixth Era 1854, which was experiencing another unusual night, only three seconds had passed.
Therefore, the big earthquake happened only a few minutes ago, which means that the first Randall flower that has bloomed may not have been found yet, and it will take at least an hour and a half for the crazy guardian to appear.
Xia De had to at least resolve Fiona's matter within this time. He also had a hunch that although Fiona's matter happened in the Fifth Era, it would definitely have a significant impact on the Sixth Era of the present world tonight.
While Shade was waiting for news at the Wilde Opera House, Yin Luna, who was with the team in the city dealing with the earth elemental giant, had been buried deep in the darkness.
When the earthquake happened just now, she was fighting the enemy in the basement of No. 3 St. George Street, not far from the Wilde Opera House. Because she was a six-ring warlock and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere tonight, the team led by Yin Luna only had two five-ring companions.
When the earthquake occurred, she was in the deepest part of the basement, so while her companions might have escaped, she was unable to leave in time.
"Fortunately, the enemy has been dealt with."
The collapsed soil and bricks pressed down hard, but Yin Luna managed to get out of the safe area. She was lying on the ground, complaining about her bad luck tonight:
"This is the new clothes given to me by the church. I was planning to take it back to Tobesk..."
