Chapter 2865 Helena's Request
Xia De could only stay here for an hour this time, but he didn't feel anxious at all while drinking tea and sitting by the fire in the rain. This was a very new feeling for him who was usually busy.
Occasionally, when he stops like this, he will wonder if he has been walking too fast. But he has come so far, and it is impossible to turn back. Looking back carefully, the stranger himself feels that some things along the way are too incredible, so he cherishes his current life very much.
Footsteps were heard at this time, and then the black-haired lady squeezed into the tent and picked up another teacup from the tray. There was a smile on her elegant face, and her black hair was still very smooth even in this humid weather:
"I just sensed someone appearing around the tree hole, and when you walked over, I guessed it must be you again. Although I thought you would come sooner or later, I didn't expect you to come again after only two days. Seeing you drinking tea so leisurely this time, you shouldn't have been exiled again, right?"
Her smile was very charming, and it was obvious that she was really happy about Shade's reappearance. Shade noticed that she was wearing the [Tail Ring] on her finger, which had "now" become a cat toy, and he thought about what happened last time he left:
"I'm here for a ceremony this time, and I'll be leaving in forty-seven minutes. You know what? Last time I didn't go back directly. I encountered a thick fog in my dream, and then I saw a casino in the fog."
Xia De described the events of the [Destiny Casino] in the sound of rain. When he finished, he looked expectantly at the lady who was hiding from the rain with him. The lady's face, which was illuminated by the bonfire and had a very strong three-dimensional feel, still had a gentle smile:
"You want me to find that casino and change my fate, right?"
"Yes, since it is possible there."
The sorceress touched Shade's lips with her right hand, forcing her to stop talking. Outside, the rain was dripping, the raindrops hit the leaves, and then slid to the ground, while the bonfire in front of her illuminated every detail of her face.
Although Helena Carter was not a "perfect creature" like a witch, her face was flawless. Time and experience had not left many marks on her face. Shad even thought that perhaps when Danister Gustav first saw this lady when she was young many years ago, she was just as gentle.
"Shad, you want to change the past and let me live again in your time, right?"
Xia De immediately shook his head:
"As long as I don't see you die with my own eyes, it's hard to tell whether you're really dead in my time. I call this the 'observer effect of time', so it's not about changing the future."
"You mean to say you're choosing your future?"
She did not blame Shade too much and withdrew her fingers. The gentle look in her rose-red eyes, which were similar to those of Miss Danister, became more obvious:
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous. Even if you can travel through time, even if time is willing to accept you, you should never try to control time, just like you should not control your destiny."
She paused deliberately, and Shad could see himself in her eyes:
"No matter how confident a person who controls time is or how much he thinks he has thought of everything, he will eventually find himself trapped by time. You understand this, right?"
Of course, Xia De understood. In the first summer after the stranger arrived, the series of events that happened in Lake View Manor because of the "Puppet Manipulator's Notes" and the subsequent incident when he tried to challenge fate with the "Twenty-Sided Dice of Fate" but almost died in the street had made him realize that he should not try to manipulate fate.
"It's not that I don't understand, but I feel that your death is a pity?"
He couldn't come up with a suitable explanation for the moment, and saying "I can't bear to see you die" was obviously inappropriate.
"Is it because you don't want to make Danister sad?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked. Xia De pursed his lips and then said seriously:
"That's only part of the reason. I also really don't want to see you turn into a cursed tree after you die."
The black-haired sorceress of the Thirteenth Ring held the teacup and laughed:
"Don't try to 'help' me anymore. I'm already luckier than most people. After all, I knew my fate many years before I died. Can you promise me? Don't try to change my affairs. If you still respect me, just promise me."
The two looked at each other for a moment before Xia De said:
"Okay, I promise you."
"You and Danister are really similar in some ways. You are both the kind of people who care about others but don't like to say it out loud. Oh, this black tea is really good."
Then he blinked at Shade:
"Tell me, what happened recently? Is there anything you need my help with?"
After defeating the demon last time and being exiled, Shade had been busy with the battle with the Chosen Ones of Time and the remains of the World Tree. Now, as he talked about these things one by one in the sound of rain, he didn't feel much relieved:
"The investigation has come to a standstill. We haven't found a way to defeat the dragon beast or the underground 'guardian' yet. So for now, we can only wait for the elf to come back from the past. Maybe she will bring some new clues."
The dark-haired lady just listened to him talking about these things:
"I will not easily interfere with what happens after I die. Only you and Danister can do these investigations. But I have sorted out my own thaumaturgical research notes. You will soon be in the high ring. Since Danister, your teacher, is not very dedicated, I will help you."
She took out a notebook from her small bag and handed it to Shade, who used the "Silver Moon Library" to record it on his bookshelf:
"We don't really want to bother you all the time,
He hesitated for a moment, worried about disrupting the stability of time, but after thinking it over, it was nothing:
"Last time I went back, Miss Danister was furious. No, it's not accurate to say she was angry. She really wanted to see you."
"Do you still want to persuade me to meet her?"
"No, no, it's just okay, I don't care about this matter anymore, you all have your reasons, you can deal with it yourselves."
The black-haired sorceress smiled and continued to watch the fire and listen to the rain in the tent with Shade. The weather in the summer of 1821 was normal. This ordinary rainy day did not have much special meaning, but somehow it made people feel particularly at ease.
Shade did almost nothing in this short hour. When he appeared in the cloakroom of Flora's room again, covered in dampness, the witch came up to him and sniffed him immediately:
"Although the smell of forest soil is strong, I can smell perfume. Is it Danister's teacher? You should be glad that it's me here and not her."
"I just spoke to her for a few words."
"It was raining over there, but you could smell her perfume. Did you two huddle together and talk for an hour?"
By the time Shad lost his crystal shoes and returned home, and then went to the elf lady's tree house through the tree hole, the ceremony here had already ended.
The ladies were drinking tea while waiting for Shade. Luvia looked unchanged despite losing her qualification, and Emilia did not directly advance from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, but the lines on the back of her hand became more complicated.
Now that the qualifications have been transferred, the next step is to let Emilia start her time journey. The "Felianna Notes" and the preparations of the academy can be taken out at any time, which means that in theory Emilia can leave now.
But Shade was still a little worried and planned to tell Emilia the story of what happened in Vestal Woodland. Of course, in order to prevent the small probability that she failed to successfully reach St. Byrons, the academy also needed to make some other preparations.
Therefore, he discussed with Luvia and planned to wait until Friday to let Emilia leave, and the elf in the forest asked Shade to find her then:
"I know a place in the woods that is very suitable for holding the ceremony. I will take you there when the time comes."
This Wednesday ended with the farewell of the group and the elves. Emilia seemed a little nervous when she returned to the hotel. Shade guessed that she might have insomnia tonight. After washing up, he also planned to rest, but before he and Mia fell asleep, the door was opened and closed, and then someone got into bed.
"Luvia?"
He slightly turned his head to look at the pair of purple eyes and asked in surprise:
"You were sick last Saturday, and it's only Wednesday now, just five days later."
"It's not over yet, I just miss you a little bit."
She kissed Shade gently on the cheek:
"Carina is on the ship tonight. I thought Dorothy or Vanessa would come over tonight, but when I went to look for Dorothy just now, I saw that she was not in the room but went to Ajelina's place; Vanessa was chatting with Miss Winslet, and I think she was too embarrassed to come over tonight."
She looked at Xia De with a smile and put her arms around his neck:
"So I came here. Sometimes I really envy the witches, who work all year round."
"Don't let Karina hear this."
"Just kidding, I don't envy them. I know what you like is what I'm going to do now? I know you have a lot of tricks."
Xia De then held her in his arms:
"Do you think I am so bad? Go to sleep. Didn't Miss Sylvia and Margaret come tomorrow? If we have time, we can pick them up at the train station."
Luvia nodded slightly and hid her head in Shade's arms, and soon the two of them and the cat fell asleep.
She didn't tell the truth just now. She came here tonight because after the duel with Emilia in the evening, she saw some impossible things happening in fate. She didn't know whether she had misinterpreted fate or something else. In short, she was not that kind of bad woman.
