"Your Majesty Marquez?"
Seeing the silver-haired demigod witch turn around and look behind her, Miss Andriana called her. The short witch said without turning her head:
"You go ahead. I will leave before this road disappears. If you don't see me after that, go to my territory."
"Yes, sire."
As she spoke, the brown-haired witch pulled her maid and apprentice, and ran quickly towards the end of the forest path with the bard holding his harp.
The campsite did not disappear with the end of the story. The snow had stopped falling and the wind had become calm. The departure of the living and the gods made the silent Lost Forest even more eerie. The lost souls flickered in the forest, trying to approach here, but when the coldness of Chloe Yin spread, even the ground was covered with frost. Those souls who were supposed to rest here before they could truly die waited in the forest for a while.
In the fog, the big-tailed red dragon girl looked at the scene in front of her nervously, looking at the demigod witch with slightly glowing eyes. Fiona Drago, who was wearing a hat and carrying a backpack, even felt that the golden eyes of the ancient demigod in front of her directly penetrated the barrier of time and space and saw her own soul.
Although before departure, Miss Fiona and Miss Orlanod said that because her time power was strengthened in Evernight City, she might be able to contact the ancient witch directly this time, but Fiona did not expect that she would succeed in one go:
"When did I get so lucky?"
She pinched the buttons of her shirt with both hands, not knowing what to say, so Chloe Yin, who was frowning, took the initiative to speak:
"Space-time dragon? Brass dragon? Or star dragon?"
"No, I'm a red dragon."
Although somewhat overwhelmed, Fiona still tried to defend her ancestry:
"I am a half-blood red dragon, and my mother is half-elf."
"oh?"
Chloe Yin frowned deeply. The chill emanating from his body had frozen the entire camp except for the bonfire. Even Fiona in the fog felt the cold.
"You appeared here in such an unusual way... the power of time... Are you... the witch of the future? Are you looking for the trace of that man?"
The big-tailed dragon girl was a little surprised, but she nodded quickly:
"Yes! You understand all this, right? Excuse me... ...you also know Shade, right?"
Although the silver-haired witch in front of her was not tall, Fiona knew who she was. During her most powerful period in history, she could even freeze time - just like now. She was one of the most powerful witch emperors from the Fifth Era to the time when Miss Felena was active.
"Shad Hamilton? Yes, I know him. I have tried to find his traces in the long river of time, but all I saw were different witches... To be precise, he left just twenty seconds before you appeared... So that's why the time disturbance when he left gave you the opportunity to appear here. Because he is blessed by the power of the Tree Father, and you have the smell of his blood, the Tree Father will not pursue your responsibility for traveling through time illegally for the time being."
When Fiona was in Evernight City, Shade used his personal degraded version of "Dragon Book: Breeding and Growth" sleep growth ritual on her, in which Shade used his own blood. And when Chloe Yin was in the Silver Mountains, he drank Shade's blood directly, so he was very familiar with the unique taste.
"is that so?"
The red dragon girl in the mist blinked her eyes, then regretted it again:
"He just left... This is a miss."
After saying this, I finally remembered the purpose of this visit:
"Your Majesty Chloe Yin Marcus Marcus, I was entrusted by the future demigods, Teacher Feliana and Teacher Orlanod, to establish contact with you. We are looking for the traces of Shad Sulen Hamilton in the echoes of time and space. At present, in addition to you, the witch at the end of the Fifth Era has contacted us."
Because Fiona was forced by the Yellow Moon Witch to recite this passage many times before setting off, she did not make a single mistake in pronouncing the words.
The face of the silver-haired demigod flickered under the flickering bonfire:
“What do your teachers want to do?”
She asked a question that made Fiona blush:
"Robbing a man?"
"No, why would you think so? We are just Shad's... friends. The teachers said that they saw a bad sign from Shad. The old days are over, and the delayed end that we, the creatures living after the First Era, will face is about to come."
Chloe Yin's golden eyes really shined:
"Your teacher knows that too? But that doesn't matter. The Witch Council has its own responsibilities. We are the last resort."
"But Shad is from the Sixth Age."
Fiona was certain:
"Teacher Feliana said that the witch emperors of the Fifth Era eventually forgot and abandoned their duties because they were greedy for everything they had. Although someone finally started the Witch War, forcibly ending the Fifth Era and starting the Sixth Era, the situation in the Sixth Era was even worse than that in the Fifth Era."
Fiona didn't quite understand what this meant, as this was information she had only received before she set out. If she hadn't gained a lot from her adventure in Evernight City, Miss Felena and Miss Orlanod wouldn't have told her these things.
"What? The Fifth Era has ended?"
Chloe Yin was shocked:
"I originally thought that Shade was from... Damn, he's so far away from me."
She took a deep breath:
"Since the demise of the Fifth Era is an established fact, we witches living in the Fifth Era can only interfere with the more distant future through the favored children of the Infinite Tree Father... The future Witch Emperor actually gave up her responsibilities? Do they know what decision they have made?"
Fiona didn't know what to say next; she had already said all the lines she had memorized for this conversation.
Chloe Yin nodded towards the figure in the white mist:
"I understand. I will try to find a way to communicate with you directly. I will connect the entire Fifth Era and prepare for the Sixth Era of Shade in this era that will eventually perish. But in this way..."
She pursed her lips:
"The responsibility that Shade has to bear is too great."
The Red Dragon Witch in the fog was startled. The tail behind her gently wrapped around her ankles. She understood the meaning of these words:
"You and Xia De... um..."
Klo Yin raised his drooping eyes suddenly, and his golden eyes looked at the red dragon girl in the mist again:
"I knew you were lying just now. Just friends? Ha, you said you weren't stealing a man? What did you do to him?"
"It was just a kiss... The teachers said that saving the world and finding your true love at the same time is what an elegant and respectable lady should do."
The tip of her tail tapped the ground behind her black leather shoes. This was actually her own thought, but Fiona forgave herself for that little lie.
The corner of Chloe Yin's mouth twitched:
"If he can finally fulfill that responsibility, or at least help the future Witch Council complete that important task, even if he keeps the entire council at home, that would be the reward he deserves."
She took a deep breath:
"I can only see in the long river of time that the witches of the future have already met him, but my era is the farthest away from him after all. Do you know what the witches of the more distant future, the Sixth Era, think of him?"
Fiona nodded, her tone was very dissatisfied:
"The teacher said that the witches of the Sixth Era did not take good care of Shade, whether mentally, physically or in other aspects."
"Can't the future witches see that Shade is special?"
"The teachers said that the witches of the Sixth Era were all weaklings, timid and afraid to do anything. They had already lost their pride and courage, and only cared about being reserved and cautious."
“Isn’t this better?”
With a light laugh, her long silver hair spread out behind her, Chloe Yin raised her head slightly. Although she was not very tall, her arrogant expression fully demonstrated the pride of the Witch Queen:
"It seems that the witches of the future don't understand that you have to snatch what you want yourself, and the happiness you want will not fly into your hands by itself. So, your teachers know how to see him again?"
"It all depends on luck, but his soul already has our echoes. Our fates are tied to his. We are destined to meet. This is the future chosen by fate."
Fiona said softly, and Chloe Yin smiled:
"That's good. Otherwise, I would have to send my girls to those unknown and terrifying 'border' areas repeatedly."
Fiona was a little confused by the term "border area", but before she could ask, she noticed that the white fog around her became thicker. The forest scene was gradually blurring, and she was about to leave this time and space.
"Red Dragon, I will join this cooperation."
Chloe Yin promised, and Fiona quickly added:
"Thank you. The teachers also said that if we meet Shade again in the future, we should not say that we have met before. Time and space are already extremely fragile. Except for special souls like him, none of us should try to break the existing rules."
"I understand. However, I won't promise that next time I see Shade, I won't do anything to him. If there is enough time..."
The silver-haired witch smiled:
"I'll let him know how a witch takes care of her lover."
These words reminded Fiona of her performance in the City of Eternal Night. After she broke out of her shell, if it weren't for the lack of time, she would have almost had something more passionate happen with Shade (Chapter 1392).
"If we meet Shade again, we won't promise not to do something."
Representing her teacher and her teacher's teacher, Fiona faced the demigod and expressed her thoughts.
The dragon part of her told her that a dragon would not easily give up a spouse it had chosen, especially one that had been tainted with its scent. And the witch part of her told her that all witches knew that happiness had to be earned by oneself.
Waiting and hesitating without doing anything will only make you see the snacks at the afternoon tea party being taken away by other hateful women:
"Then we'll see you next time, Your Majesty Marquez."
"See you next time, the red dragon from the future... I can see that he likes cats, but I didn't expect that he even likes half-dragons... Could it be that what he really likes is girls with tails?"
Muttering to himself, Chloe Yin waved his hand, turned and walked towards the forest path opened up by the gods.
The red-haired dragon girl pouted slightly in the mist, feeling that she was being looked down upon. However, she lowered her head and looked at her big tail, which was wrapped around her legs in white socks. She blushed and thought of Shade's curiosity about the tail when he was in the Evernight City.
"Next time you meet, if he asks, let him... touch you again."
