The purpose of this professional transformation of the ships was naturally not to show off their financial strength in front of Xia De, but to allow them to avoid the church's surface patrol teams and land on the island smoothly.
"Invisibility, sound suppression, and water ripple elimination are all basic functions. If we are attacked by a large group of water ghosts again, we can successfully break out of the encirclement without using your badge this time. I even engraved a detonation ceremony on the ship. Once this ship explodes, the power will be much greater than that of a steam bomb of the same size."
Megan said quite confidently.
The oars slid automatically, and as the boat crossed the lake in the rain, Megan proudly introduced the function of the boat to Shade. At this time, they were already very close to the fog area, and when they were closest to the church's ship just now, the distance between the two sides was even less than 300 meters, but the church did not find the ship.
"So I have always believed that wisdom and knowledge are the most powerful powers for mortals."
The witch of knowledge and wisdom is in a particularly good mood today for some reason:
"We have a lot to do. Let's make the key first, and then I will try to take you into the dream to witness that door."
"But before that I have one more thing."
The bow of the ship entered the fog first, followed by Shade and Megan. Shade took a deep breath and inhaled the fog into his lungs:
"Can you wait for me on the shore? I need to use an item by the lake."
In his hand he held the uncovered metal holy emblem.
"sure."
Megan said with a smile. The thick fog blocked her vision, so she moved closer to Shade. Shade looked up at the shadow of the island crawling like a beast in the fog. Megan took out a silk thread and tied the little fingers of their right hands:
"Just like last time, keep in touch."
She hooked her finger, and the white thread turned golden. This strange witch secret technique enhanced the communication ability between the two, and even if the two were separated in the fog, they could roughly know each other's location.
The ship continued to move forward, and Shade closed his eyes:
"Strong spatial perception."
The waters that were originally covered by fog, as well as the underwater terrain under the water surface, appeared clearly in his mind. Shade was completely relieved and smiled sincerely. When he first landed on the island, Megan said that the magic of "spatial perception" was ineffective on this island, but it was obvious that the magic given by Tree Father was an exception.
"You look so pretty when you smile."
The witch at the side suddenly said, and when Xia De looked at her, she turned her head away and didn't look at Xia De:
"When I meet you normally, you always look expressionless or serious. You can try to smile more and not be so stressed all the time... There will be a party to welcome Grand Duchess Carina Cavendish this Friday. Come with me."
She summoned up the courage to invite him, biting the inside of her lip to make herself feel the pain so as to stay calm. Because she was worried that Shade might not be able to come, she added:
"When the time comes, I will tell you everything you want to know, yes, everything you want to know. So..."
"No problem, I'll go. Then, you'll know who I am."
Xia De nodded and looked at the traces of the dock in the distance in the fog:
"I recently learned a new magic skill. When I get to the island and encounter a chaotic situation where I lose my sense of direction, it might come in handy. But it's best not to use it... it's best not to use it."
The bow of the boat touched the dock gently and stopped quite smoothly. Shade jumped onto the dock first, then turned around and took Megan's hand and asked her to walk down as well.
After fixing the boat, the two did not immediately walk along the path towards the town. Instead, Xia De led the way to the mudflat that he had purified with the "Power of the Earth·Healing Aura" when he landed on the island for the second time.
The fog in this area is not very thick, and as long as it does not stay for a long time, there will be no spatial chaos within a few months.
Of course Megan still recognized this place, and immediately remembered the scene when Shad was holding her in cat form and sitting on the beach and talking. Then she remembered Shad standing by the lake looking at the lake in the night, while she was putting on clothes behind Shad.
"I'll take care of my business here first."
Shade said, opening the metal pendant with a click, revealing the red emblem of the Holy Love. This item has a miraculous element and is one of the few divine items that the Church of the God of Love has inherited from the Fifth Era and can still be used today. Mr. Richard and Ms. Hope lent it to Shade temporarily, in addition to preserving the black sheet, probably also to protect Shade.
“Meghan, please step back a little, until you can only see my figure.”
Shade said to the sorceress, and then handed her the earplugs he had prepared in advance:
"Plug your ears and turn your back to me. Don't turn around and look at me before I tap your shoulder. And remember, you must not hear any sound. If you hear anything, it must be an illusion. Don't pay any attention to it."
"What do you want to do?"
Megan asked curiously.
"Get some information, but it's dangerous and could lead to something bad."
But Shade wasn't worried at all:
"But if it really attracts something, it might be a good thing."
"What?"
"Nothing. I'll be done with it soon, you must remember..."
"Can't turn around, and I can't hear anything."
Xia De nodded, smiled and opened his arms to hug Megan. The girl blushed and walked backwards, while Xia De also walked backwards to the shore.
It wasn't until Shad's boots touched the lake water and Megan could only see the shadow of Shadmo Lake on the shore that they waved to each other and Megan turned away.
"Please keep an eye on her for me. If she shows any abnormality, please remind me in time."
Shade also turned to face the lake.
OK
The holy emblem bounced away, and Shade picked up the black sheet and threw it into the water.
His dynamic vision was good enough that he could even clearly see the thin sheet spinning and drawing a parabola in the fog.
Therefore, he clearly saw that the fingernail-sized object was caught by a white hand that stretched out from under the water like white lightning before falling into the water. He could also see more clearly that the nails of the five fingers of the white snake-like arm were dyed red like blood.
Crash~
As the ripples continued to spread, black hair first emerged from the water near the shore like seaweed, and then the woman's head popped out. Even though it was hazy, Shade could still see the long black hair sticking to her skin because it was wet, and saw the water droplets sliding down her cheeks and then falling into the water.
Her skin was as white as milk, and her purple eyes were so intoxicating. The rain had stopped, and the thin sunlight shone through the mist, letting the hazy and soft light fall on her moist face and white arms. Her gesture of pursing her lips and smiling at Xia De frightened Xia De and made him take a small step back.
But he remembered that Megan was behind him, so he stopped immediately. The nervousness he had felt after landing on the island was now completely replaced by all kinds of beautiful imaginations. Even though he had seen her many times, at this moment, Shade still tried to restrain the urge to rush into the water and passionately entangle with her in the water.
"Do you think my nails are red? Really, men always can't tell the difference between colors."
A lazy and somewhat hoarse voice came, and the lower half of the arm retracted into the water, and the palm part was moved in front of the woman's red lips. The little finger, ring finger and middle finger were curled up and pressed against the palm, the thumb was naturally extended, and the index finger was pressed against the lips, making the red nails and the red lips almost blend into one, both of which were so charming:
"I'll give you a chance."
The hoarse voice made people feel pity, and as the beautiful head drooped slightly, a huge black shadow flashed across the lake bottom under the head. The eyes were filled with an ambiguous smile, and the charming charm firmly attracted Xia De's attention:
"Tell me, what color are my nails and lips? If you can't answer, I will be really angry - do you want to know my secret again?"
The nails and lips were both red, and the best Shade could make out was a light red.
The appearance of desire was surprising, but it was within a reasonable range. Xia De knew that the other party didn't like him to explore her origins, so he was prepared for the other party to really appear.
"Illusion? Let me see through her top-level illusion and identify the real color?"
Xia De understood in his heart, and just as he was trying to concentrate on detecting the traces of the illusion, "her" voice appeared in his ear. It was still so gentle, but this time it was a little helpless:
The nails are pomegranate red and the lipstick is rose madder red.
"What? Oh, you mean the color? How did you..."
When you attend a party, if you can take your attention away from the Rhodes cards and listen more to what the strange girls are talking about, you will also know.
This is the use of my other self, the Ringwitch. No matter how good a person's memory is, there will always be omissions.
"The nails are pomegranate red and the lipstick is rose madder red."
So Shade gave the answer to the woman in the fog, and the smile on her face became even more intense. She put her finger lightly between her lips, then took it out, put it in again, and then took it out again:
"That's great. I thought you would think I wanted you to break the illusion."
The corners of Xia De's mouth twitched a few times.
The beautiful head still looked at Shade with a smile. She "swam" a little distance towards the shore, but still let herself be shrouded in the mist... ... The arm that emerged from the water took a second to catch up with the head.
