Chapter 191 3rd 1068
Black hair maid Miss Tifa has long thought of Shade Would refuse, she shook her head:

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to test the medicine, wouldn't it be more convenient to experiment with rabbits or mice?"

She pointed to herself:
"Actually I just want to find someone to compare the effects of these three potions on different people. I will drink it with you, and then compare the different answers we give."

"You Do you want to drink too?"

"Of course, my own feelings are the most real. Besides, if I don't drink it, detective, will you drink something of unknown origin from me alone?"

In reality, though, even the maid, Miss Tifa Serveit, had to drink it, and Shade was still averse to such behavior.

"I don't mean to hurt you. The lady introduced the job for you, and even made an agreement with you when to reveal the secret to you. You can suspect that I have no intentions against you, but You can't doubt my loyalty to the lady. You should know that, detective."

She was sincere and quite reasonable, but Shade remained silent. Even if he agrees with what the other party said, and doesn't think there is any reason for the maid to suddenly turn her face and murder him, this incident still reveals strangeness.

"Detective, do you want extra pay?"

Seeing him like this, the maid asked again. The carriage bumped for a while, causing the two people in the car to move slightly. They had already entered the city. The familiar rays of light of the gas lamps and street lamps were very reassuring.

"Of course not, I promised to pay for the white stone crystal, so I won't ask for extra money. Are you sure your potion is really okay?"

"With me Allegiance to Duke Galina Cavendish."

Shade looked at her, and she looked at Shade. After a long time, Shade said:
"That's fine, but go to my place to try the medicine."

"No problem."

Shade didn't want to find someone familiar. The environment, but the plan, once the situation occurs, the maid really wants to murder herself, then immediately use the last time key to ask the [Pure Creator] for help to eradicate the poison of the potion, and then use the newly acquired white stone crystal to teleport to the destination. a faraway place.

[But think of the worst, what if she kidnapped your cat to threaten you? Cats can't get close to the Ancient God statue. ]

Shade was stumped by this tricky question, he looked towards the girl who tilted his head and looked towards the window, half of her face was illuminated by the quiet moonlight:
"Although I don't know much about this world. Familiar."

He said with certainty in the heart:

"But I think if I don't even know the basic good and evil of the people I meet, then No matter how cautious she is, she will die miserably sooner or later."

【Do you believe she belongs to the kind side? 】

"No, I'm just convinced that at least Galina and the maid are not the evil one." No one was disturbed during the night. It took Shade and the maid to the door of No. 6 Saint Derain Square. After Shade opened the door with the key, he invited the maid to test the medicine on the first floor.

Because it is the closest to the basement, and the basement door just has a keyhole, it meets the basic requirements for using [Time Key].

The first floor of Shade's house has no furniture or decorative walls, and the whole space is very empty. Because he hasn't made time to go to the gas company and let them hook up the gas line on the first floor, so there's not even a gas light here.

Shade used the excuse to go upstairs to get the candle, took the cat down, and put the time key in his pocket. But instead of trying the medicine immediately after going downstairs, he fed the cat to delay the time. After all, the time key can only be used in the early morning of Thursday after Wednesday has passed.

Xia didn't see Shade for a day, and was very unhappy when she was being held by him. The fluffy cat was not hungry today, after all, Shade left enough cat food before he left.

Now that Shade has prepared a supper for it, I don't forget to look towards the strange woman who came to the house vigilantly, and then I wag its tail and go to eat with restraint. Miss Serveit is also very interested in this small orange cat, but it is obviously unwise to try to approach it while the cat is eating. Mia probably suspects that someone is going to rob its food.

The candles were standing on the floor, and after about the time, Shade and the maid Tifa sat face to face on either side of the small table that was brought in, with two empty teacups on the table.

"The first one."

The maid handed the wooden pipe to Shade, Shade poured the liquid into two cups respectively, and then he chose the cup on the left. After watching the maid finish drinking, Shade also drank the potion.

"Meow?"

The cat stared at the amber eyes and stood on the window sill beside him, licking his paws while watching them drink the liquid curiously, some expecting that he could too. get some.

“How do you feel?”

the maid asked.

"How much sugar did you put in? Why is it so sweet?"

Shade put down the cup and said vaguely.

"Anything else?"

The maid asked again, and Shade shook her head in denial.

She shook her head regretfully, then pointed to Shade's cup, which showed half a cup of water:
"Detective, please rinse your mouth."

Shade still Shade shook his head, the maid looked at him and said;

"It's hard to take a mouthful of liquid, I won't give you a chance to save the liquid sample."

Shade Pick up the cup.

Then came the second potion, this time with a distinct minty smell. After drinking, both Shade and Tifa Serveit had some degree of blurring in their left eyes. The former lasted ten seconds, the latter seven seconds.

But after the duration expires, the field of view returns to normal.

The last tube of potion tasted no different from drinking water. At this time, the two of them had different situations. The maid didn't have any effect, and Shade actually twitched uncontrollably, like a shiver coldly frozen in the Extreme Cold weather. This process continued for the whole time. It's over in half a minute.

Fortunately, Shade's body wasn't affected other than the twitching.

After testing the three potions, the black-haired maid insisted on letting Shade rinse her mouth to ensure that no liquid remained, and then ended her visit to No. 6 St. Teresa Square.

He stood on the stone steps in front of his house, watching the light of the kerosene lamp hanging in the carriage tail section go away, then closed the door neatly, squatting on the table and sniffing at the cup. In the curious eyes of the cat who went, he walked quickly into the basement, and came back with a paper bag in a short while.

Holding the paper bag in one hand, closing the door of the basement with the other, and then taking out the almost completely broken wooden key:

"May the World Tree bless me in infinite time."

Turn the key, and after a click, there is endless white fog behind the opened basement door. This will be the third time into Fifth Age 1068, and will be the last. In fact, Shade's preparation for the last two wishes is not particularly adequate, but so far he has done the best and has his own ideas.

Time travel cannot carry extraordinary items, he can only rely on his own knowledge and knowledge. And now, it's time to leave.

"Mia, wait for me for three seconds. If everything goes well, I will take you to eat something delicious tomorrow."

"Meow?"

The cat watched as Shade walked into the white mist behind the door, and everything he was holding fell to the floor.

Mia got excited immediately, jumped to the floor lightly, and ran to the paper bag in front of the door curiously. The cat wanted to know what kind of good things Shade took.

Shade on the other side has already set foot in the white mist. He was a little disappointed to see that the paper bag containing the potion and materials was no longer in his hand, and her voice came from his ear:
[Outlander, you have stepped into the time corridor. ]

[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 (3/3). ]

[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. ]

Time was running out, and after confirming that there was no additional information, he immediately took a step forward in the white fog.

The white fog dissipated, and he returned to the old town where the toy store was located.

The first time I came, it was day in Hope Town, and the second time I came, Hope Town was at night. For the third and perhaps last visit, it was twilight.

The tragic sunset spreads from the sky far away to the sky farther away, and the dim light seems to imply the end of all things. This bizarre scene made Shade, who thought he was ready, stunned for a moment.

On the dilapidated streets at dusk, there are only a few townspeople, walking through low and dilapidated buildings. Some people noticed Shade again, but before they got close, Shade pushed the door into the splendorous and majestic toy store in front of him.

The smell of candy in the air jolted him, and the bright light and the shelving of toys made Shade walk out of the sunset scene just now.

The saint in the ridiculous clown hat, still standing behind the counter, was looking down at a book when Shade pushed the door and walked in.

Hearing the door push, he lifts the head and looks towards him with a smile. This is the last time the two meet in this era.

"Oh, look who's here?"

The saint said with a smile and wanted to clap his hands to call three children, but Shade stopped him:

"Sorry, I wanted to ask for your help before the last two wishes."

"So what do you want?"

youngster said with a Smile, looks young, but somehow makes Shade feel like an old man is talking:
"Can you see what I just drank?"

He pointed to himself, and the maid thought He kept the liquid in his mouth, but never imagined that he would be able to seek answers directly from God.

Probably, no one would ask such ridiculous questions when the gods are willing to grant their wishes.

"It's very simple, you first drink a glass of water with added sugar, oh, that high-grade white sugar is really good."

That's why Shade almost spit it out, But it's just water and sugar, how this thing will not be a magic potion.
