The girls in the sky had already landed on the deck, and Shade, who had jumped off the deck, had already walked towards the doctor. On the deck, the beautiful blonde witch pinched her waist with one hand, and with the other hand, she fiddled with her long hair to the side, letting it fly in the night wind, and then asked impolitely:
"Audrey, long time no see... What is your relationship with Shade?"
Her politeness was short-lived.
Behind her, Hillis shook his head at the Great Witch of "Knowledge and Wisdom" with a half-smile and half-helpless expression. And the Miss Edwards asked quite impolitely:
"Vanessa, what is your relationship with Shade? After all, we are all sisters in the council. You can't hide any secrets from others, right?"
After experiencing the "joke" at the banquet specially arranged and planned by Miss Carina, the witch was no longer afraid of other questions. Last time, she was caught off guard by the shameless sneak attack of the Duchess. Now that she is well prepared, how could she fall into a disadvantage
"You haven't hidden anything from me, just like I haven't hidden anything from you, right?"
Looking at the dual gazes of Megan and Audrey, Miss Benanis blinked, and with the hint of Miss Sylvia, she also understood that Audrey Edwards already knew all the secrets:
"Of course we are sisters in the council. So, everyone must keep the matter of Shade a secret."
So the two hands were held together, and then Miss Sylvia's hand also reached out and connected with the other two. The witches' handshake was an ancient etiquette from the Fifth Age, not palm to palm, but the connection of thumb and little finger. Because in addition to the three witches, there was also the hand of the spirit Audrey, so the picture became a little strange.
Sirius, Tifa, and Margaret were watching this scene from behind the three of them. Everyone was quite satisfied with it.
"The parliament is more united."
As for Shad, he was already standing with the blue-eyed psychiatrist on the gradually calming lake.
“It went very smoothly.”
The doctor said with a smile, throwing the black cube that sealed Glatony Edwards and Pride Edwards to Shad.
"A new skill? Sealing technique?"
"Almost. But it's not easy to seal a being stronger than me. This time, it was thanks to my friend's illusion that I was able to confuse the dragon."
He pointed to the bottle beside him. Although the blue giant in the bottle did not appear, the speed of the colored smoke swirling faster. It did not seem so reluctant to help the doctor.
They stopped talking, turned their backs to the cruise ship, and looked towards the foggy islands. No matter what the battle was like, there was nothing abnormal on that island.
But at this moment, at the edge of the thick fog, a figure walked out from the direction of the island. This was certainly not Laplace Klein Howard, but a man whose entire body was made up of wriggling tentacles.
According to the corpse ghost Mr. Nicholas Green, he should be Sloss Edwards, the younger brother of the second generation Edwards who gave birth to the third generation of three people. When he was old, he was injected with the power of evil creatures because of his fear of death.
This was not the first time Xia De had seen the other party. When he saw it appear on its own initiative, he immediately prepared to continue fighting.
But Sloss Edwards was only there to relay his father's words:
“Please return my son and my daughter to me.”
He stood at the edge of the thick fog and said to the two men under the moon:
"In exchange, you can learn who the second candidate for the Space Chosen One is."
Xia De frowned slightly and looked at the doctor, who didn't care:
"That's your spoils of war, you can do with it as you please. But don't worry, the demon that gave them their power has been... sealed by me. In a short period of time, they will not be able to form a fighting force... What are the chosen ones of space?"
After thinking for a moment, Shade bent over and placed the black cube on the lake. The tentacles under the water pulled it under the water, and the tentacles lifted up under Sloss' feet and handed the cube to him:
"Father said that the second candidate is related to my sister and the man she chose. The family is limited to this candidate and is no longer related to other candidates."
Sloss Edwards' sister is Rusty Edwards, who is still in spirit form.
Shade nodded. The strange bond and fate between Rust Edwards and Durrut Giles had already pointed out the future they might encounter. But Rust Edwards was related to both the first and second candidates. Shade could only say that the eldest daughter of the Edwards family was worthy of being the first offspring trained by the fortune teller.
Just a few minutes before Shade and the doctor talked with Sloss Edwards on the lake, a 17-year-old girl with long brown hair got off the train at the Green Lake train station on the north shore of Green Lake and stretched in an unladylike manner:
"I'd better take an airship next time. Train travel is so boring."
"I do think it's fun to take a train trip once in a while. When I was your age, I didn't have this kind of convenient transportation."
The librarian of St. Byron smiled and walked out of the carriage behind her. In this train, there were not only Yin Luna and her group from the Church of the Sun who came from the Holy See, but also professors from St. Byron Comprehensive College who came along along the way.
Yin Luna did not comment on Miss Danister's opinion. She was standing on the platform at the moment. The hot white steam mist that was constantly spewing out from the bottom of the train on both sides made the air humid.
Together they looked up at the southern night sky:
"It looks like it's going to be really lively tonight."
A huge black cube stood under the starry sky in the south. Even though they could only see one third of the cube from their current angle, Yin Luna and Miss Danister could feel the power that could defile the soul at a glance.
"What happened?"
The ring wizards who had just arrived in the city met up with a team from the local church, and then quickly contacted the church to confirm what had happened.
However, Yin Luna was not very interested in this. She said goodbye to Miss Danister and her group, but did not return to the church with the Church of the Sun team. Instead, she said that she wanted to walk around the city alone and take a look at the city at night:
"I want to understand this place from my own perspective. As for what happened in the South, I don't think I have to do everything, right?"
This request sounded strange, but Yin Luna was the chosen one, and she had this privilege. So her luggage was taken away first, and the 17-year-old girl waved goodbye to her companions at the entrance of the train station.
The gas street lamp on the side of the train station illuminated Yin Luna's delicate profile. Her shadow fell on the long stone brick road. Looking up at the city, it was old and dilapidated, not as warm as the hometown where she grew up, nor as prosperous as Tobysk where she worked.
Take a deep breath, the hazy night fog is full of the peculiar stench of urban pollution, but it is not as pure as the "Steam City" Tobysk. Inspiration can be felt, the atmosphere of depression and heaviness hovers in the sky, and the smell of fear and tension lingers in the streets and alleys.
Yin Luna Bei Yasi admitted that she didn't like it here. She would never love everything in the world equally. She only liked what she liked.
He sighed and asked the blond man in a white robe who appeared beside him:
"Can we start the second game?"
The man walked out from the shadows outside the gas street lamp. His attire was out of tune with this era and the current street scene. He held a rolled-up parchment scroll in his hand, and the bottom of his simple yet mysterious robe almost touched the ground.
He looked at Yin Luna with a mysterious expression, as if he was only saying half of what he was saying:
"Good evening, chosen hero."
"Good evening, if. To be honest, I thought you would show up earlier."
Facing this unknowable relic, Yin Luna still maintained a relaxed tone.
"So you are ready?"
The seventeen-year-old girl smiled, walked a few steps forward and came to the street light. Amid the gentle sound of insects hitting the lampshade, she said what she had prepared for a long time:
"Let me see what you want to tell me."
"Need I remind you that this is the second of three games."
The blond man in the white robe nodded, and just like that, under the street light at the entrance of the train station, in this ancient but dilapidated city, he unfolded the parchment scroll.
Although it was late at night, there were other people at the train station entrance, but no one saw the strange scene under the streetlight. The golden thread in the air between the two people outlined the content of the reading in beautiful cursive Delarion letters:
You are Yin Luna Emilia Bei Si, the chosen hero, the chosen one of balance, the protagonist of the stage.
On the 10th of the month of rain, you completed a half-week training at the Vatican and arrived at Green Lake City by train to participate in the investigation mission of the space chosen ones.
You temporarily bid farewell to your companions in the night and plan to walk around the city by yourself. So what should you do now
1. Go alone to investigate the anomaly in the south of the city. Maybe I can solve this matter myself.
2. Go to Green Lake Hotel. I know the person I miss is there.
3. Walk around the city as planned. With my luck, you might come across a relic.
4. It's late at night, let's go back and rest. It might be a good idea to take a carriage.
5. Maybe there are other ideas.
The cursive golden letters floating in front of her illuminated Yin Luna's face. The light was no brighter than the light in the dirty gas lampshade, so most of her face was still in shadow.
Yin Luna noticed that this "what if game" was a little more complicated than the last time. Last time, there were no such options, and it was entirely up to her to decide.
Without thinking, Yin Luna Bei Yasi already knew what she was going to do:
"I have my own ideas. I will go back to the train station, cover my face with an illusion, and then buy a train ticket to Huntington City in the United Kingdom of Carsenrick. I have seen the train schedule, and there will be a train in half an hour. Since this is a game, I will be bolder. Why do I have to stay here?"
