Because of the adventure of the Time Key, Shade knew that in the Fifth Era, there were at least five continents, namely "East, West, South, North and Center", and many islands such as the "Broken Islands" overseas. This can also be confirmed in other documents that can be found.
As to why there are only the Old World and the newly discovered New World in the Sixth Era, the views of the circle magicians are different. But what is certain is that the current "Old World" has the most in common with the "Middle Continent" of the Fifth Era, but also has some characteristics of other regions.
If we use "space folding" to explain this phenomenon, it finally makes sense.
"The world is folding... ... the cities to the north and south of Lake Green overlap. Will there be any signs?"
"Of course there are. Everything now is a sign. Of course, the most accurate sign should be the appearance of a large number of spatial anomalies within the city, followed by the phenomenon that without using any force, someone can reach the north bank from the south bank, or the south bank from the north bank. Starting from this, more and more people will experience this kind of 'north-south change', and then the south city will see the scenery of the north city, and the north city will see the scenery of the south city. Walking out of the streets of Green Lake City, you will come to the store of Michaela Blast Furnace City, and walking out of the store of Michaela Blast Furnace City, you will enter the Green Lake City Hall... The order of space will collapse step by step until it finally merges into one."
Yin Luna didn't know what happened to Dorothy yesterday, but Xia De knew:
"Some people have already come from the North City to the South City."
Yin Luna nodded:
"I'm not surprised at all. In addition, according to the current observations of the Prophet Association, in fact... Laplace Klein Howard should have been repairing and maintaining the seal on the central island for so many years since he came to this area under our feet. Even since the secrets of the Edwards family were gradually exposed more than a month ago, he has been maintaining the seal on the central island of Green Lake. Otherwise, the situation would have deteriorated even more seriously than it is now."
The two did not talk much here, and Shade returned to Miss Danister, and soon followed the professors to visit the believers of the Old God's Gate of Transformation.
She was a middle-aged woman about the same age as Dr. Schneider. As an ordinary person, she was a landlord and made a living by collecting rent. It was not very accurate to say that she was a follower of the old god, because the cult of that god had long disappeared. The teacher of the woman's teacher only occasionally discovered the remains of the cult, which made them inherit the cult in a de facto sense.
Because he had just heard the most detailed information from Yin Luna, Xia De did not pay much attention to the conversation between the professors and the middle-aged woman. After the meeting, he said goodbye to Miss Danister and set off to return to Green Lake Hotel.
The professors of St. Byrons Comprehensive College also made some important gains that morning. At least in Miss Danister's opinion, the few records related to the old god "Glowing Gate" and even the records about the protective shield covering the entire college city in the early days of the college's establishment might have other values.
It was already noon when Shad returned to the Green Lake Hotel. When he met Dorothy on the third floor, Miss Sylvia had just arranged the special ceremony to stabilize the hotel room:
"It should be fine. You can try the 'Ragray Jump' here later to experience the power of the ritual. But the power of this stable space only includes this room. Shade, you don't want Miss Louisa to stay in the room all the time, do you?"
The black-haired witch reminded.
"I do have that thought, but I respect Dorothy's freedom."
Then he looked at Dorothy, the blonde girl holding Little Mia, who didn't care at all:
"When I was busy with my manuscript, I also stayed at home for many days. It's raining outside, so I might as well stay in the hotel. I'm not in a hurry to return to Tobisk. It's nice to take a walk around the local area after things are settled."
Yesterday afternoon, Xia De knelt on one knee and "swore" to Leicia, which made her feel good, but there was still other worries in her beautiful green eyes:
"But...what about the other person?"
Miss Sylvia might not understand, but Shade knew what she meant. However, with Leisia's identity, she couldn't stay in a small room all the time, so for the time being, she could only let Ajelina and Tifa stay by her side at all times.
Leicia and Tifa came to Green Lake Inn secretly at about 2:00 p.m. that day. Tifa was sent by Miss Carina to confirm whether the ritual core in the basement had been completed. The witches' renovation plan for the hotel went very smoothly, and the most important part had been completed in just a few days.
As for Leicia, it was Shad who asked her to come here through Dorothy. Shad didn't tell her the reason, but Leicia definitely didn't mind meeting Shad. Especially after what happened yesterday afternoon, Her Royal Highness wanted to stay with Shad all day.
However, Shad's arrangement for her was strange. He asked Lesia to tell Dorothy upstairs and asked the writer to stand at the window holding Mia, while he and Lesia held an umbrella and took a short walk on the street outside the Green Lake Hotel, and discussed the Red Butterfly Day on Saturday.
The situation in the Green Lake area was unstable, and the Red Butterfly Day had to be postponed temporarily, which both Lecia and Dorothy could accept. However, they still couldn't figure out what Shade wanted to do by calling Lecia that afternoon. Because after that, Shade sent Lecia to Tifa and Miss Sylvia in the basement, and then told Dorothy in the upstairs room not to stand in front of the window.
He himself hurried out into the rain again and got into the carriage that was parked across the street.
"They are candidates, but they are not ranked high. Your pair of butterflies should be ranked ahead of them."
The purple-eyed girl who had been waiting in the carriage for a long time gave the answer:
"I came to this conclusion immediately after seeing them at the same time. However, since your guess from the beginning has been verified, are you going to do anything about it?"
"The preparations have already been made. I have a method to separate souls. When the time comes, even if they really want to perform the Chosen Ceremony, I will forcibly separate them."
If Resia and Dorothy performed the ritual, it would mean not only that they were entangled by fate, but also that their merged souls might never be separated again.
"Just think it over for yourself. Today is Thursday, and you may not be able to see me before the end of the weekend. On Saturday, the association's large divination ceremony will begin, and I can't easily leave the camp by the lake."
"I understand. You should also pay attention to safety."
Shad gently hugged Luvia. The purple-eyed girl hummed and clearly saw that Dorothy on the third floor was still looking at the scenery outside the window with boredom.
That afternoon, Shad stayed at the Green Lake Hotel to learn about the new functions that the soon-to-be-completed renovation would give the building, so that he could effectively use this important stronghold once the war broke out.
Tifa and Resia left at around three o'clock, and in the evening, Miss Sylvia, who was in the hotel, and Audrey, who arrived at four o'clock, entered the Witch Council for a meeting. Throughout the afternoon, strange noises kept coming out of the city, and it seemed that someone was fighting in the distance, but the distance was too far, so Shade could only guess that the church had encountered an enemy.
Before the meeting of the Great Witch ended, Shade met Sister Defulin first. It was five o'clock in the afternoon. Shade was in the room listening to Dorothy talking about the recent preparations that Resia had made for the promotion to the Sixth Ring. At this time, there was a knock on the door. After opening the door, he saw the blind nun wearing a silver eye patch standing outside.
Shade unexpectedly welcomed her arrival. Dorothy certainly remembered the last time she was at Shade's house, when she yawned and walked out of the bedroom and saw this amazing nun. Therefore, the female writer, who was always good at communicating with strangers, actually stuttered when she greeted the nun, which made her face even redder:
"I'll go downstairs to the kitchen to get some tea."
As for Sister Develyn's visit, besides the fact that Granny Cassandra and the others would arrive tomorrow, and the number of ring sorcerers from the spiritual cult who followed her, what was more important was what she found when she "looked" at the island by the Green Lake:
"The first fire is on the island."
"Yes."
Shade explained the information he had obtained from Mr. Nicholas Green and from the Old God believers in the morning;
"For so many years, what has maintained the stability of the island space is the First Flame and the 'kerosene lamp' described by old Mr. Green. The latter should be some kind of powerful relic or divine item, but it doesn't matter. Since the flame of the First Flame is here, let it return to the flame in your hand. After that, I will use the maze here to seal the central island of Green Lake, just like I sealed the narrow space of life and death."
Under normal circumstances, even if Shade obtained enough spirit to open the puzzle lock, he might not be able to seal such a troublesome thing. After all, the puzzle lock was not omnipotent, and Shade only had six rings. But after using divinity to soak the spirit rune for a short moment during the promotion, he was almost equivalent to the state of "divine overflow", and was completely able to seal it.
Not to mention, the Night's Watch and the Staff of Yggdrasil can greatly enhance spellcasting capabilities, and the latter, since it is made of wood itself, has a special enhancing effect on abilities related to "trees"... This is what the long-haired girl in the dream said.
Sister Defulin did not doubt whether Shade could do this. She just sat on the sofa and nodded slightly. Somehow, even in this small room, when she spoke, it seemed that there was an echo in the empty sacrificial field:
"I can see with my eyes that the spatial instability of Green Lake has reached its limit. It will take at most ten days. We must take action to solve the problem here."
