The alternating red and green lights became brighter after the soul appeared. Shad couldn't even be sure what the original color of the soul was.
"I'm Megan Edwards, and my grandfather is Pride Edwards, the third-generation Lord of Green Lake, your Lord. Now tell me, where is the key?"
Megan was also annoyed by the alternating flashing lights and asked the question in a rapid tone.
The other words in the speech had no effect. The soul that appeared on the bow only responded to "Edwards" and "key". The soul that looked like the old boatman looked at Megan, and in the background of the alternating red and green strong light, he uttered a few words:
"Ingredients: rooster eggs, lord's blood, flawless topaz, century-old red coral, and memories of family wealth."
"I have them all, take them now. Oh, Sylvia, can't you make this damn light a little weaker? I can see it even if I close my eyes."
"This is caused by the relic. This light is abnormal. Bear with me for a while. Did you really bring all the materials?"
The black-haired witch who was leaning on Shade asked, covering her eyes. Shade didn't know why she leaned on him, probably to make it easier to cast spells.
"Of course, this isn't the first time I've looked for keys!"
The big witches also showed irritability like Shade at this time, but fortunately the three of them had strong mental strength, and Megan and Audrey had experience of going crazy for many years, so there should be no problem for the time being.
The blood of the lord can be obtained as long as he is a descendant of Edwards. Gems and red corals are among the expensive materials that have long been thought of. "Memories of family wealth" was dealt with by an account book with her grandfather's handwriting that Audrey took out. As for the "eggs laid by the rooster", she happened to have them with her.
“How does a rooster lay eggs?”
Even though now was not the time to ask this, Xia De couldn't help but ask.
"I'll tell you later, but you probably don't want to know."
"Shad, the relic is getting out of control!"
Miss Sylvia's voice came to his ears, and the frequency of the green light flashing around him suddenly decreased, while the red light appeared faster and faster. This crazy light made Shade feel like vomiting, but he immediately held the stick with both hands and smashed it to the bottom of the boat:
"Space stability aura."
The two witches present had spatial talents, so they could clearly feel the invisible ripples brushing against their legs. The strong green light reappeared, and the red light weakened slightly. Megan closed her eyes, handed all the materials to the undead, and then asked:
"I want to know your story. I am the descendant of the island owner. I want to know how the townspeople under my jurisdiction died."
The godless soul was not affected by the alternating flickering lights, and he answered Megan's doubts:
"The monster under the water destroyed my boat and drowned me."
All the materials turned into light and disappeared in his hands. At this moment, the boatman's soul seemed to have regained some consciousness. He completed the mission given by the Soul Storybook and ignored the three people on the boat. Instead, he turned around in the darkness and looked at his hometown on the other side.
The spirit was dissipating little by little until it completely disappeared. But the three people on the boat had no time to pay attention to him. This matter was not over yet. At this time, the green light became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding red light was almost disappearing.
"Miss Sylvia, I can't hold on any longer!"
Shad held his breath and held the Staff of Yggdrasil in both hands, pressing the staff against the bottom of the cabin. However, the "Space Stability Aura" had an upper limit, and he felt that the magic was on the verge of failure.
The black-haired witch was also casting a spell at this time. She used an unknown witch's secret technique, and a huge golden halo floated on the water around the ship, surrounding the hull, but this was not enough:
"Megan, hurry up! Put them back in shape!"
Audrey held the two metal dolls in one hand and pinched the green hat with the other hand, trying to pull it up. Her arms were entangled with flashing runes, but she could not move the misplaced hat.
"Damn it, how could this relic go out of control so quickly? It's only been a minute... Megan!"
The arms stretched out from behind pierced through the shirt, and the white and tender arms were not covered by the clothes, but Xia De didn't have the mind to look closely at it at this time.
Megan's two hands quickly grabbed the red hats, and when Miss Sylvia and Shad were almost unable to hold on, they finally pulled up both hats.
The sound of shattering glass continued to ring around them, and the hat that had been successfully swapped finally returned to its proper position. But at this moment, in the last second of alternating red and green light, a clear "click" sound appeared beside the three people, and then they felt the world spinning, and then disappeared into the darkness with the ship.
"oh!"
It was like falling from a high altitude to the ground. The confusion of the five senses caused by the space jump made the three people roll around in the cabin. Fortunately, they did not really fall from a high altitude. When they woke up, they looked up and saw the gray sky with rain.
The boat was still on the water, and Audrey's arms had disappeared behind her. She stared blankly upward, watching the raindrops falling. Surprisingly, while lying in the broken boat, she felt a long-lost inner peace:
"My family once thrived here. I wonder if my father saw such scenery when he was young."
The wonderful calmness even made her want to lie here for hours without moving, but she didn't maintain her current state for too long. Beside the brown-haired witch, Miss Sylvia, who had also fallen down in the cabin, was hugging Shade and kissing him. The witch of space didn't care that there were companions around her at all, and put all her passion into the kiss.
"Oh, what are you doing! Stop it!"
Megan reprimanded righteously, and immediately reached out to pull the two apart, then somehow she fell down, and joined in.
After a full twenty minutes, the three of them supported each other and sat up in the boat that was swaying slightly on Green Lake. The two witches had ruddy faces, one buttoned her dress, and the other lowered her head to fix her hair, but they were both very satisfied with the kiss just now. Xia De wiped the lipstick marks on his face and neck with his hands. Sometimes it was really hard to resist the enthusiasm of the witches.
"Don't think that Xia De's kissing skills are pretty good now. In fact, when I first met him, his kissing skills were quite bad... I don't know why Jialina was so reserved after she met Xia De."
Miss Sylvia said to Audrey with a smile, and Audrey ignored Megan's complaints about herself in her heart and laughed while biting her lip.
Although they experienced the space transfer caused by the instability of space, they only moved a few hundred meters on the lake because of the magic of Xia De and Miss Sylvia. At this time, the lake surface was quite calm in the rain. Looking around, if there was no fog in the distance, boating on the lake would probably be very romantic.
"Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we go back later? It turns out that lying in a narrow boat and looking at the rainy sky is so interesting. Let's give it another try."
Miss Sylvia waved her hand, letting the key lying on the bow fly over, and then she hugged Shad's arm enthusiastically. Audrey, who was standing by, was also a little moved. She took the flying key and, at the urging of her sister in her ear, also held Shad's hand.
"Emma, I didn't see you looking at the sky just now... But the scenery here is really nice."
In the end, Shad still didn't agree to do such a time-wasting thing, but he promised Miss Sylvia and Megan that he could try again after the Green Lake incident was over.
In this way, the three of them were in a good mood and chatted and laughed as they returned to the cruise ship on the Duin River. However, as soon as they stepped onto the deck, the smile on Shade's face disappeared, because the black-haired head maid in a black and white maid dress appeared here with an umbrella.
"What's wrong?"
Megan immediately put away the smile on her face and asked seriously. If it wasn't something very important, Miss Carina would never easily send her personal maid to deliver the message.
Tifa nodded, and said to Shade and the two witches:
"Something happened, but it's not a serious matter. The lady asked me to find Shade. Princess Leicia said that the writer encountered a space transfer again and she disappeared again."
"What?"
Xia De was shocked:
"When? Where?"
Tifa comforted:
"Please don't worry. His Highness said that he has confirmed Miss Louisa's location. She is now in the Glass City on the other side of the lake. Although she was frightened, she is not in danger. The lady has prepared a carriage. Let me go with you to pick up Miss Louisa."
"That's fine. Let's go now. Oh, she's only been here for two days."
Xia De's good mood disappeared completely, and he looked at Miss Sylvia:
"The carriage is too slow. Can you open a portal and take us back directly?"
The black-haired witch closed her eyes and sensed:
"Not now. The space is not in good condition. We have to wait about an hour. I will go back with you in the carriage. Since we have been contacted, it should be fine."
"Xia De, now that you've found it, don't be too anxious."
Audrey also comforted him. After chatting with the writer yesterday, she also learned some of the relationship and stories between the writer, the princess and Shade, so she understood Shade's current mood.
"One more thing."
The beautiful head maid pursed her lips and held an umbrella as she looked at Xia De. The expression on her face clearly said that there were worse things she hadn't said yet.
Shade had a bad feeling in his heart, and he took a step back and accidentally bumped into Audrey. The witch looked at him with her golden eyes, trying to encourage and comfort him.
