Chapter 111 Second Meeting

[I think, you should be the only outsider. ]

During Shade's wild thoughts, the whispering voice in his ear said softly.

"Why?"

[The arrival of the outsider is luck in luck, if one appears, it is Miracle. impossible will have a second one. ]

"Why is "The Little Match Girl"?"

[There are no coincidences in this world, only the inevitable. And, haven't you already guessed why? ]

Shade smiled, and if there wasn't a second outlander, the answer would be pretty clear indeed.

Today is Wednesday, past zero, just one week since the last time key was used:
"It seems that I am an outsider who has nothing."

A woman came to my ear again Sweet laughter.

"Shade, did you hear that?"

Only then did she realize that Miss Luisa was talking to herself, Shade lifts the head, and said sorry:

"Sorry, I was thinking about something, what did you say?"

"I said, if you don't care about your cat, it will come out of the basket."

The blond writer touched his earlobe and said.

"Meow~"

Mia made a "threatening" cry at Miss Luysha, and it almost jumped onto the dining table.

Shade said goodbye to Miss Luysha after dinner, and asked her about the advertisement in the newspaper before leaving. Miss Luysha directly took out a business card from her handbag and stuffed it to him. They were all newspapers that Ms. Luysha had worked with:
"There is always one that suits you."

Because of expectations Considering what happened tonight, after saying goodbye to the writer, Shade did not go anywhere else, but returned directly to Saint Derain Square with Mia in his arms. The time key can only be used past zero, so Shade still has to wait for the six hours from home at 6:30 until midnight.

Of course, he didn't waste time, but continued to help Miss Luysha translate the book "The Four Elements of Chasing: Wind and Fire", and even took time to continue reading "Crazy Chasing Light" By".

After counting the time and confirming that the time key can be used, he excitedly stood up from the chair in the study.

Mia was lying on the desk and sleeping by Shade's hand. Awakened by the movement of Shade getting up, but the whole cat is still lying on the table lazily, just showing a pair of eyes looking at him.

"Since the afterglow of divinity has lit up beside me, it's time to go and see the stories that belong to the past."

He thought excitedly, from the locked From the drawer of , took out the cracked key.

Leave all the [Relics] you hold on the table temporarily, and close the door of the study from the inside. Then hold the key, whispered:

"May the World Tree bless me in time."

The key slid into the keyhole, twisted and clicked again. Open the door of the study, behind the door is a fog door blocked by thick fog.

The orange cat looked at this scene in amazement, but before it got up, Shade stepped into the fog door:

"Mia, see you in three seconds."

The footsteps I stepped on landed, surrounded by white mist.

The whispering voice sounded in the ear, and after getting ready, the "other me" got a message from the fallen Ancient God [Father of the Infinite Tree]:

[Outlander] , you step into the corridor of time. ]

[Message from Ancient God "Father of the Infinite Tree":]

[In the autumn of 1068 of the Fifth Age, Southern Continent, Hope Town. ]

[Event: The fall of the old god "Pure Creator". ]

[Duration 10 minutes (2/3). ]

[You have received additional information. ]

[The silhouette of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. ]

[The test given to you by the Ancient God of time will continue. ]

[Before the fall of the old god "the pure creator", witness His last wish. ]

[The Ancient Divine General of Time grants you rewards: Mystic Art - Blade of Time of Chaos, Miracle spirit rune - Echoes. ]

In addition to the words "continue" and "continue", there are only two-thirds of the reminder after the duration, but it seems that the time limit this time is still ten minutes.

Because of the mental preparation, Shade didn't ask any more questions. If you want to step into Hope Town from the white fog, time cannot be wasted here, but didn't expect the woman's voice to continue:
[Shows the ring of life. ]

“Why?”

Although you ask this question, you do it anyway. The bell rang, and the whistle appeared with the steam.

The brass ring was spinning behind him, and as the ring of life appeared, Shade actually saw an inch of cracks in the skin of his body, and golden's light scars shone under those cracks.

This is a physical state that I have seen during the day, but during the day, it is because of being in a dream that the state of the mind and soul will be highlighted.

"Why does calling out the ring of life here can also make the state of divine afterglow appear on the body surface?"

He asked.

[The knowledge in divinity tells me that the "corridor of time" you are now in is a special space, and the power of divinity is more obvious here. ]

Whispering, Shade raised his hand and looked at the almost broken skin and the bright radiance below:

"It's interesting. The state of Spiritual Body It can resist the invasion from the dream, but what is the use of this state in the body?"

[I think at least this time, you don't need the protection of the old god, you can face him directly . ]

Withdrawing his life ring, he took another step in the thick fog. The surrounding fog disappeared, and Shade returned to the street that looked like a backward medieval town.

Unlike last time, this time it was late at night, and there were no numb townspeople to be seen on the streets. Looking around, the whole town stands in the dark and long night, and there seem to be continuous mountains in the distance, like a giant beast crawling in the dark night.

The smell is still pungent in the air, and none of the houses are lit except the toy store in front of them.

Looking up at the sky, the stars and the moon are obscured by dark clouds, and it is impossible to judge the exact position at the moment by memorizing the stars.

Shade didn't waste any time, just pushed the door and walked into the toy store.

The inside and outside of the store seem to be two different worlds. Nothing has changed here. The air is filled with the sweetness of candy, and the shelves are full of dazzling toys. Standing behind the counter, youngster wearing a funny clown hat, was woken by the sound of a bell ringing as the door opened.

He looked up to welcome the guests, but when he saw it was the young detective, he didn't make that statement.

The old gods said with a smile:

"It looks like you have found the afterglow of the gods?"

"Yes, this can It's not easy."

Shade replied.

He doesn't think any mortals except him have the chance to get "the afterglow of the gods". Completing the task of Ancient God is indeed an unimaginable difficulty. Moreover, he even suspects that other investigators have encountered the task of "Father of the Infinite Tree", and there is absolutely no such difficulty.

Shade stared at the youngster. Although he still felt a lot of discomfort, as long as he looked away, at least his normal activities would not be affected. The other party is right, there is no afterglow of God, he is not even qualified to talk to God for a long time, "Afterglow of God" is the 1st Step to carry out this task.
