Whispering Poems.

They merged side by side into the crowd on Silver Cross Avenue on Wednesday evening.The bustling pedestrians are walking along their own life tracks. In the sky, under the setting sun, there is a gray mist covering the city.

It was another ordinary Tuesday, another ordinary day in spring.Xia De didn't know how long this kind of peace could last, or that new disasters would soon appear by his side again.

But at least through that indifferent emotion and empty heart, he has already understood himself, and understood all the ties that he, a foreigner, has in this world.

This incident will not change him, but it will make Xia De cherish everything he has even more.He hoped that the days like this could last forever, and he hoped that all the love could always be by his side, as Haila Oxenfurt blessed.

"It seems a bit greedy."

Walking on the street, looking at the prosperous street scene in the era of steam industry, Xia De sighed silently in his heart.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Iluna's side face, and asked softly:
"Iluna, if I say that I will pay any price to protect everything I cherish, do you think it is correct?"

Iluna also turned to look at him, looking at the face illuminated by the increasingly brilliant sunset.She squinted slightly:

"Of course it's true, because I thought so too."

Iluna said softly, the throbbing in her heart made her blush a little.She knew that Xia De and her were essentially the same kind of people, and only they were the same kind of people:

"Ordinary people are too small, to be able to grasp the things around them is enough to be happy."

This is also her answer to "what if", she firmly believes that she is the one who holds the balance.

During dinner, the two didn't talk about those sensitive topics, because they were embarrassed to eat with Iluna, but the meal money was still charged to the account of Rezia or Miss Galina, so this time Shade did not choose to be on Silver Cross Avenue. Dining at a restaurant on that street—every restaurant on that street assumed that Shad wouldn't pay for it himself.

He finally chose to dine at the "Marie Antari Restaurant" on the east side of the Place Saint Teresa, which is named after the owner's late wife.Although it is located in a prosperous location in the city center, in fact, it was just a tavern and a barbecue shop when the current owner inherited it from the deceased elders of the family more than 30 years ago.Only because of the excellent location, over time, it gradually developed into a high-end restaurant, favored by celebrities and aristocrats.

The current signature dish of the restaurant is still the roast meat that Mia loves, especially roast beef and roast lamb.After serving with herb juice and vegetables, the delicious taste is full of praise even for Xia De, who is not demanding on food.

"The decoration is very good, with a strong classic style. Look, there are signatures on the portraits of those celebrities!"

It was the first time for Iluna to eat here, and during the dinner, she discussed the decoration here with Shad.

"Literary and artistic celebrities like to dine here. Miss Dorothy Louisa told me here. She said that she often dined here with her writer friends. However, even Dorothy now , are not qualified to leave their own portraits on the wall, after all, they are only writers of popular novels."

Xia De introduced, while Iluna looked around with great interest.With her salary and subsidies, it is no problem to come here to eat, but who to come with is the problem.Calculating the cost of this meal in my heart, I plan to invite Xia De and Luvia to eat here again when I have time.

After dinner, Xia De originally wanted to go home with Iluna to talk about things.But Iluna heard that Xia De wanted to go to Midhill Castle and appraise a bottle of blood at the old witch, so she offered to go with him:

"Anyway, I can use those doors under your house. Besides, it would be boring to walk alone at night in Sikar Mountain, wouldn't it?"

What she said was also reasonable, so Xia De brought Little Miya along.Since it's a walk at night, it's good to let the cat breathe some fresh air.

After walking out of the abandoned tower in Mount Xikar, the two took advantage of the beautiful moonlight in the mountains to find the main road down the mountain through the woods.

Their footsteps were fast, and Iluna and Shad walked side by side, looking at the scenery of Midhill Castle down the mountain, before finally talking about the business:

"New news from the church. In the past two or three months, there have been frequent abnormal spatial shifts in the material world."

Her voice is steady:
"This is the same type of phenomenon. Specifically, it means that a certain individual who is walking suddenly appears in a distant position. The essence is the spatial chaos of the material world. Of course, this phenomenon has always existed, but it is very rare, quite rare .So it was only recently that the frequency of incidents became unusually high for reports to be delivered to the Holy See."

"Is this matter related to the chosen ones of the space?"

"Yes, after counting the number of accidents, I found that if all the incidents are connected together, it will actually form a large network centered on the Green Lake area. Because the sample data is very large, this conclusion can be trusted— —The center of the abnormal space phenomenon is the Green Lake area.”

"I have only heard that Randall Valley is the center of the earth in mysticism, but I have never heard that Green Lake is the center of space."

"It is true that there is no such statement, but it is clear that some kind of anomaly has appeared in the Green Lake area, which has affected the entire material world. This is not necessarily man-made, it may also be a damn natural phenomenon."

Xia De then told about his joint investigation with the witch in the Green Lake area yesterday, that is, Monday.When talking about the big battle on the lake at night, the 17-year-old girl frowned deeply:

"That witch is really useless. She actually put you in such great danger. The central island and the invisible island? It's only been a day since the incident happened. The Tobesk Diocese only heard that something happened there, but they haven't received any More news, but there will be definite information tomorrow."

"What will the spatial anomaly of the material world surrounding the Green Lake area lead to?"

Shad lifted the squinting dozing cat over his shoulders instead of holding it.Although Mia is not very heavy, it takes a lot of effort to hold her all the time.

"Weaken the stability of the material world space, and then loosen those ancient subspace seals. The more serious problem is that this continuous penetration and connection of the originally stable space will cause a wider range of space abnormal accidents, forming a space that humans cannot set foot in." The area of ​​chaotic space further compresses the material world, the area where intelligent life can live, until the entire world collapses."

Iluna said, Shad sighed:

"The problem is getting more and more serious every time. It's hard to imagine what will be waiting for us in the end."

Iluna wanted to make a small joke, but looking at Xia De who was standing aside, she suddenly grabbed his hand again on the mountain road under the moonlit spring night.In Xia De's view, the relationship between the two has long surpassed friendship, so he was not surprised by this. Iluna suppressed the excited heartbeat and said with a smile:

"When the Chosen One of Chaos and the Witch appears, will the disaster be that all life will be transformed into women, and all civilizations will be ended within one generation?"

"It's too scary. It's better not to tell such ghost stories at this late hour."

Xia De also laughed. He found that although Iluna was not very old, there was always a feeling of reassurance when he was with her.She has an immature face, but she is always sensible and does things very calmly.

This is also Iluna's view of Shad and Luvia.

As for what Iluna provided to Xia De, in the next "seven-day trip", the alchemy item to keep warm in the snow-capped mountains was a pure gold bracelet with intricate carvings.

The bracelets are engraved with religious symbols commonly used by the Church of the Sun. If you look carefully, you will find some runes representing "earth".The four relative positions of the bracelet have different forms of complete sun patterns.

The bracelet was carefully taken out by Iluna and handed to Xia De. Xia De could feel the warmth on the bracelet. He couldn't even tell whether it was Iluna's body temperature or the body temperature of this powerful alchemy item itself. temperature.

"Similar to my 'Sunshine Gun Brooch', I made this one in the same way. Wearing it, you can use a weakened version of the 'Power of the Earth·Earth Energy Cannon' once. Even if you don't use it for heating, it can help you experience The feeling of huge energy output."

Iluna explained in a good mood:

"However, this is much more difficult to make than the sun gun brooch, and its power is not as good as the thaumaturgy I use myself. But the basic functions are still complete. Except for one-time use, if you put the bracelet in your palm , and then ignite a fire in the palm of your hand to form a cluster of tiny flames. That is the flame from the sun and the earth, which can provide you with warmth no matter what the situation is.”

"Meow~"

The dishonest cat opened its eyes, and crawled down Xia De's arm, lying on his arm and sniffing the bracelet he was holding, looking very interested.

But when Xia De smiled and wanted to put the bracelet on its little paw, the cat avoided it in disgust.

"Don't go, come here and try to light the fire."

Xia De temporarily let go of Iluna's hand, holding the bracelet in one hand and grabbing the back of Mia's neck with the other.Point the cat's head at the bracelet, and shake it a few times.The reluctant cat understood Xia De's meaning, so he opened his mouth to "meow~", and sure enough, some sparks appeared.

Under normal conditions, it would be difficult for the spark to ignite the pile of dead leaves, but when it touched the bracelet in Xia De's palm, a pleasant golden flame jumped from the ring of the bracelet immediately.

Warm, relaxing, and comfortable, just the right amount of warmth dispels a little chill in the mountains at night in spring, and it is more pleasant than lying in front of the fireplace and reading a book in winter.
