Chapter 2727 Rescue Operation
"She took the water from here?"
"Is this hard to understand? Since you can hear people asking me for love in Tobesk, why can't there be such girls in Vesta?"
The Mermaid asked with a smile. She was probably talking about the damaged clock. Shade and Iluna were both witnesses.
“Originally everything was going well. The dead disciple already had a crush on the beautiful Miss Bennet, and under the influence of the water, he loved her even more.
But unfortunately, the dead apostle was defeated by you, and even his soul was frozen by you. The relationship between the two souls was severed by you, so the poor Miss Bennet was affected by the curse of the Love Lake in reverse, which is why she came here desperately, wanting to get true happiness in that eternal dream.
After all, the happiness she had obtained was cut off by you, wasn't it? "
She sang the last sentence like a hymn, the starlight shining on her fair face and black hair. The scene under the spotlight was dreamy, but it was also terrifying to Shade. Although he was grateful to Desire for helping him many times, he believed in his intuition that the other party definitely had no good intentions this time:
"If this lake has such a cursed property only because of your power, then please release this witch."
He pointed to Flora Winslet, who lay at the bottom of the lake, her eyes closed and her long gray-black hair swaying in the water.
The Mermaid smiled and shook her head:
"Although the power of this lake did appear because of me, it has now perfectly merged with this magical woodland. This ancient land has a power that even I cannot contend with today. My power is still strong even in this woodland, but if I erase it, the delicate balance in the woodland will be immediately broken."
She smiled and raised her eyebrows. She stretched out her right hand from the lake beside her head and supported her right cheek.
"It's hard to say what consequences this will cause, but it may be that groups of insects will wake up from hibernation, or more buried secrets will be revived together. You don't want this to happen, right?"
"So you're saying there's nothing you can do about the situation here?"
Iluna asked, and the head in the water covered its mouth and chuckled:
"If you are a simple and silly girl and want to negotiate with a man, you must first explain the difficulty of the matter. Otherwise, how can you let a man know that you have made a huge sacrifice to help him? If he doesn't realize this, wouldn't your efforts just be self-admiration?"
She shook her finger at Iluna, but the mental suggestion had no effect on the increasingly unhappy eighteen-year-old girl.
"I will not erase the power of this lake, but that does not mean you cannot save your beloved witch. It is very simple. Haven't you woken up from the dream? Now enter the lake, hold her hand and dream with her again.
When you wake her up in your dream, and let the beautiful girl with heterochromatic eyes behind you stand on the shore and pull you up, won't it all be over?"
Although she was praised as "beautiful", Iluna would not change her attitude:
"Are you trying to convince Shad to reenter the lake?"
She reached out and took Shade's hand:
"That's ridiculous. Do you think I would let Xia De do this again? And after he falls asleep this time, how can we ensure that he is still awake?"
"Don't you trust your man so much? Your methods are much worse than those witches."
The head in the lake smiled and asked Xiang Xiade:
"Such an interesting soul, since you can wake up once, you can definitely wake up a second time. The only question now is, are you willing to do this for the witch?"
【Don't worry, that dream is of no use to you anymore. 】
Shade did not answer, and the head and arm floated towards the center of the lake.
"That's the only way. It's up to you whether you're willing to do it. Oh, and I have to remind you that once you stay awake and enter the lake, some bad things may emerge from the lake, so don't forget to prepare your female companions for battle."
The starlight no longer illuminated the head, and she seemed to melt into the darkness. The glowing pink perfume bottle rose from the bottom of the water and floated to the shore. Shade looked at it but did not pick it up.
"Shad, you're not really going to go in the water again, are you?"
Iluna asked again, she was worried, but if Shade really made up his mind, she would not stop him.
Shade turned around and took her hand and walked towards the camp:
"Go ask Luvia for her opinion."
As the "Shad Identifier", Mia knew very accurately that Shad and Iluna had returned. The cat that had made great contributions tonight is now the object of everyone's protection. After all, this cat is the only creature that can go into the water normally.
The ladies in the camp were unaware of the conversation that had just taken place outside. It was dangerous for them to hear the voice of the "mermaid". After Shad and Iluna came back, Shad told them the method of rescuing Flora without hiding anything.
As expected, just like Iluna, most of the ladies maintained a mild opposition. In other words, except for Cassandra who did not express any opinions and Luvia who frowned and remained silent, everyone else expressed their concerns.
"Shad, do you really believe in that kind of stuff?"
The Countess's attitude was particularly fierce. After all, when she was in Moon Bay, she and her maids were all drugged and knocked unconscious in Count Darmanin's mansion.
"Shad, what are your plans? Do you really want to enter that lake again?"
Vanessa asked, her attitude was gentler:
"If you really want to do this, then at least get everyone together. Carina, Megan and Audrey, Sylvie, Miss Elizabeth, Sister Differin, oh, and the two chosen ones."
"Sir, you want to go down to the lake now, right?"
Helen asked, and Grace pulled her sister's hand.
"Luvia."
Shade looked at the purple-eyed fortune teller, who nodded and took the coin to the Chocobo Camp, where there were fewer people. Not long after, he came back with the blond elf.
"You can go now. You entered the lake at around 10 a.m. If you stay in the lake for more than 12 hours, you will most likely not be able to wake her up even if you and she are dreaming together. Let's prepare for battle. When you go down into the lake, the consciousness of the people who have been dissolved in the water for millions of years will be awakened by you. They are not undead, but they are more troublesome."
"Amelia, do you think I should go down to the lake?"
Shade asked the elf again, but the latter did not say anything like "I am not Emilia". Instead, he quickly put the diary-like thing he was reading into his pocket, then held up the [Ocarina of Time] and said nervously:
"Okay, but be careful, this trip can be a little dangerous."
"Well, get ready for battle. I'll be in the lake in half an hour."
Since Shade had made the decision, even though most witches felt it was dangerous, no one objected. However, Miss Sylvia suggested that Shade take Mia with him to the lake, but Shade refused:
"Let Mia follow Luvia on the shore, yes, follow Luvia."
So the worried ladies called on their followers to prepare for battle. Since Luvia said that they were fighting against "resentment", there were naturally special means to restrain them.
The advantage of having a large number of people is that even if not everyone is good at fighting, at least most girls can cast buff-type spells. The pre-war mobilization and preparation did not actually take half an hour, and since Vanessa, a 13th-level warrior, was here, Luvia did not think that being on shore would be more dangerous than being underwater.
After leaving a small number of people behind to guard the camp to prevent the worst situation from happening, the group walked out of the camp.
Shade summoned the [Sin Chain] and tied it around his waist, then handed the end of the chain to Iluna. The worried girl wanted to say something, but the other red-haired girl hugged Shade directly, and in front of all the witches.
Dorothy looked at Luvia and smiled. Luvia showed no expression on her face, but the writer who knew her well knew that she was secretly pleased with herself.
"be careful."
Miss Danister reached into Shade's arms to look for the can of umbilical cord, but Shade grabbed her hand again:
"That's not necessary this time."
Then Danister Gustav returned to the crowd with a red face, and Luvia said to Shade:
"Be careful. We will wait for you on the shore for ten minutes. After ten minutes, Iluna will pull you up no matter what. If it doesn't work, you can take a rest before going into the water again."
She held a long black staff in her right hand, and Mia squatted on her left shoulder. For some reason, Shade imagined her wearing a white robe and standing in this posture under the moon.
"Be careful. If you don't come back, I'll go down to find you."
Iluna also said so, and Shade nodded to everyone:
"Then you should be careful too."
Then he turned around and walked into the water, then dived forward suddenly, and completely disappeared under the water with a splash.
The wind suddenly blew in the woods, and the silver lights on the torches on the lakeside went out one by one. A splashing sound continued to be heard from the lake, accompanied by the sound of slippery footsteps, and something appeared in the water.
Four golden stairs illuminated the large lake in the forest. Then, with the appearance of life rings, the brass-colored light even suppressed the darkness caused by resentment.
Boom!
Luvia slammed the long staff in her right hand on the ground, making a distant sound similar to the sound of a bell. Then a huge ritual array unfolded from under her feet. Looking down from the air, no pattern could be seen in the ritual array. Only thirteen colors of light brushed across everyone's body in turn. Then, no matter what kind of power the ladies used, they all heard the "voice of another me" in their ears:
[Accepting blessings. Your overall attributes/resistance/magic spells and mystical effects have been improved, and your physical strength, spirit, mental strength, and vitality are continuously restored. ]
The purple eyes glowed coldly under the night sky.
