Because he was too tired, the moment Xia De closed his eyes, he had already entered the dream constructed by Moon Dream.
Standing on the ridge of a field under the starry sky, feeling the breeze, he looked up and saw the huge silver moon disk. This was the scene that appeared most often in Xia De's dreams, and it was also Xia De's favorite dream scene.
If possible, he even thought about painting this scene and hanging it in his home.
Soon, he felt a familiar soul touching his dream, and then the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square appeared in the wilderness. Shade opened the door and walked in. Behind the door was the roof of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, which was covered with yellow sand.
The girl with long brown hair sat there alone, watching Shade enter her dream. She pursed her lips and opened her arms to Shade, so Shade walked up to her against the wind, sat beside her, and then hugged her.
It took Xia De a long time to speak, but he did not immediately ask about his experience just now, nor did he ask about the use of the key. Instead, he asked very seriously:
"Luvia, are you sure that you want to put the black time key in my hands instead of letting you use it yourself as you have done in the past?"
Although his appearance was a little mature, those purple eyes were still so familiar. Those eyes almost had the ability to drive Xia De crazy. He really liked those eyes.
"After all, it involves the destruction of the world. Are you sure it's not you who has accumulated so much experience that holds the key?"
Although Luvia does not have the "time" spirit rune, Shad believes that she must have a way to use the key.
"I failed, more than once."
The long-haired girl looked at Shade with red eyes. Every time she saw her, she seemed to be crying:
"If you give it to me again, it will still fail. After six cycles, I will not stubbornly believe that I can succeed the seventh time. I have entered a spiral of failure. This time, I entrust it to you. This is a new possibility."
Shade nodded slightly, which meant that in the past six Sixth Eras, Luvia Annat was the one who finally restarted everything each time.
She bit her lip and raised her hand, caressing his face with her palm. The distance was so close that Xia De could even see his own figure in the purple eyes:
"You are not me. You used the Key of Yggdrasil to enter the Era of Destruction. You probably cannot meet me, nor can you know everything about the past life like me. You only know fragments. But time and fate will guide you, Shade. Please forgive me for entrusting you with this responsibility that originally belonged to me. I will not give you any experience, because my experience will lead to the wrong ending. Do what you want to do. Even if you fail, my love, at least this time, someone will be with me to witness the afterglow of the sunset."
"Don't apologize to me, I will always be with you."
Xia De shook his head gently and wanted to say something, but gentle lips had already kissed him.
The opposite of Luvia's soul, the long-haired, purple-eyed girl, seemed to be more active and enthusiastic than the normal Luvia, and at the same time more gentle and eager for love. Although it was shameful to do such a thing on the roof, fortunately it was just a dream. The fusion of souls brought the two closer to each other, and Shade could feel her sadness and deep loneliness.
"Is it true that we can't tell Luvia about 'you'?"
Shad still had doubts about this. He didn't want to hide too many things from Luvia, and telling Luvia would make it easier for him to do many things.
"You don't need to tell me. Let me find out for myself. I am a very smart girl. This time, I will know what I should know by myself."
She hugged Xia De's neck and bit it gently.
"How do I turn the Yggdrasil Key back into a key? What level is this relic? How is it contained? Also, I got a strange card from the past. Why is it a card?"
Shade asked again, but the purple-eyed girl did not answer immediately. She closed her eyes and shed tears, feeling the hot temperature of Shade's soul:
"In my name, tell Yggdrasil's Staff to turn back into a key. This is a heavenly, oh, angel-level relic, and the storage method is the same as that of an ordinary time key. You got the card from the Destroyed Time? Your experience is indeed different from mine. I can guess what it is, but I can't tell you why it is a card. But you must use it with caution."
She motioned for Shade to lean over and kiss her. The wet kiss tasted of tears:
"Use those cards with caution, they will hasten the coming of doomsday and disaster. The way to contain the cards is to place them near the statue."
She did not continue speaking, but opened her tearful eyes and looked at Xia De in confusion:
"Why did you stop? Are you angry at my concealment?"
"I want to know, when can I see you again?"
The long-haired, purple-eyed girl opened her arms and let Shade pick her up. Then she pressed her cheek against Shade's left chest, feeling the powerful beating of the heart that shouldn't exist in her soul. It was the pulsation of the soul and the resonance of divinity:
"Next time, after you use that key."
"Next month?"
"It turns out that in your hands, it will take a month to..."
The intertwined figures were sprinkled with the last glow of the doomsday sky, and the two lonely souls told each other their passionate feelings. She did not ask Shade to do anything because of the key, nor did she give Shade any tasks. She just hoped that Shade could do what he wanted to do, and she just hoped that before the end of the world came again, new possibilities would be born.
(Little Mia is running...)
Early Tuesday morning, Luvia was humming a song while making breakfast in the kitchen. Mia was looking at the flock of pigeons in the square from the living room window. Although Shad was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper, he was actually still thinking about what happened last night:
"I thought that I would be punished for being unable to use the key for two weeks again because of exposure to the curse of time."
Since you guessed that there would be such a punishment, why didn't you reject her in your dream
"She" whispered, and Shade could only laugh dryly, but he did not lie:
"I long to see her again, too."
Your soul resisted the curse from that damaged soul. Partly because it was not the first time, and partly because the filthy source that consumed the twisted earth strengthened your resistance to the curse.
Now Shade understood.
Although they slept in the same bed, Luvia had no idea what happened last night. When she got up, she just covered her forehead and said that she felt particularly good this morning, as if her soul had been cleansed by some divine power. She was in a good mood to make breakfast because her mental and spiritual state was excellent, and she was full of energy even in the early morning.
"She" once told Shade that the broken soul of long-haired Luvia could be repaired a little bit through close contact with Shade, and it seems that this is indeed effective.
Today, Shade still did not plan to use Mr. Edmond's time key immediately, but planned to go to the Green Lake area. He had a lot of things to do there, including the Chosen One, Mr. Edmond's task of purchasing materials, and the secrets of the Edwards family, which all required a lot of time to investigate.
He planned to familiarize himself with the two cities first, and if he had time, he would consider visiting the fog-covered island in the middle of Green Lake.
Luvia also knew about Shade's travel plans today, so after breakfast, she took out her divination cards and planned to tell Shade's fortune:
"My condition today is exceptionally good, so the divination will definitely be very accurate."
The purple-eyed girl said quite confidently.
"In fact, every time you told fortunes for me, the results were always accurate. Now that I think about it, I really can't remember a single time you made a mistake."
Shade praised with a smile, then, as Luvia requested, selected two divination cards from the 108 spread out on the table.
Luvia opened them:
"Let me see, twin cats"
"What's the meaning?"
Shade asked curiously, petting the cat lying on his lap.
"It's hard to explain, maybe..."
Luvia looked at Mia:
"Maybe it has something to do with the cat. But obviously you don't intend for Little Mia to reproduce, so it could be something else."
"Meow!"
Mia gave her a threatening cry, then fell back down at Shade's touch.
Shad thought:
"Twins, I do have some ideas. The power of the original rift of the ancient god of space is not only space, but also rupture and healing, as well as the image of 'two in one'."
Because of the existence of Grace and Helen, Shade has a deep understanding of this:
"Perhaps the chosen ones this time are twins? For example, brothers Eric and Charles Foran? They also happen to be members of the Edwards family."
"There is no direct connection between the members of the Edwards family and the Chosen Ones. Furthermore, the Chosen Ones can only be individuals. Unless one person absorbs another, like the Faceless Man of the Relic, even if there is a Chosen One among them, it can only be one of them."
Luvia emphasized, but also thought that Shade's opinion made some sense:
"But what a coincidence, the Edwards family is also in that area... ... When you arrive in the Green Lake area, you can pay special attention to these two brothers. They happen to be twins, are related to the local secretive family, and happen to show up now. This is indeed very suspicious."
"They are probably still on the steam train. I still have to think about how to explain my presence over there."
"You'll always find a way."
The female fortune teller gave the stranger a kiss that represented "luck". There is indeed a big difference between a kiss without tears and a kiss with tears.
