"I don't know exactly what happened. It wanted to find you, so it jumped into the night, and then it glowed."
Fiona spoke again, while Xia De looked at his cat suspiciously. Before he could think otherwise, though, Fiona explained:
"Since you said that it has bloodlines other than ordinary cats, I think it should be that it actively inspired the power of the bloodlines of ancient ancestors when it was facing a life-threatening situation. This kind of thing is not uncommon. No matter how thin the bloodlines are, they are still considered ancestors. Inheritance of power. In addition, when its tail touched mine just now, I seemed to have some special feelings, which should explain what happened just now.”
Fiona herself is a hybrid of human, elf and dragon, so her statement is very credible.
Time is running out at this time, even if you want to explore the truth about Mia's sudden glow, it's not now.
"Maybe so, let's see what's going on here first. Oh, Fiona, what I'm looking for this time is...
"A golden needle."
The foyer of the art museum is large, but only the doorway and the counter at the reception are lit. As a result, the entire indoor area is intertwined with light and dark, without the warmth and peace of mind of the previous two stores.
There was no one at the reception. On the wall behind the counter was a huge portrait of a man with a black background. The eyes of a man with a hooked nose looked like he was looking at someone outside the painting no matter which direction he looked at.
On the counter was an art manual with a hard cover, which looked quite formal. The name of [Midnight Art Museum] is written in white letters on the cover, while the rest is black.
Open the manual, the first page is not an introduction to the collection of artworks, but a warning written in black on white paper:
[Don't make loud noises in the hall! 】
[Don't damage the collection in the museum! 】
[Do not look into the eyes of any collection in the museum for more than ten seconds! 】
"It seems that this place is more dangerous than the first two places."
Xia De said to Fiona, and the red dragon girl nodded, watching Xia De quickly flip through the collection manual backwards.
Although this collection manual has more pages than the catalog of the watch shop, Shade was lucky. On page 103, he saw the last key item of the compass in Fiona's hand:
[God of the Labyrinth-"Lost Goddess" golden needle, magical item, the sun or moonlight illuminates the vertical golden needle, and the shadow will guide you. 】
The collection manual of the Art Museum is a full-color picture, and the picture on the left is the golden needle. But it wasn't a sewing needle, because Shad didn't see the hole.
[The "Goddess of Lost Way" is keen on building labyrinths, and it is rumored that the buildings in Evernight City are also related to it. 】
[Purchases require payment, paints that can be painted on the night. 】
The characters here are all from the current era of the Fifth Era, and judging by the grammar, the "pigment" that needs to be paid can directly paint on the "night" itself, that is, use the emptiness of night as the canvas.
"What kind of strange request is this?"
Xia De muttered, but he wasn't too embarrassed: "Fiona, do you have anything like this on you now?"
The red dragon girl stretched her hand behind her back, and out of nowhere, she found the small package she brought out from the cafe. After a little rummaging:
"Maybe there was once, but not now."
"Okay, I'll go find it."
"So, you're leaving again?"
She asked rather pitifully, it was indeed cruel to leave her here alone, but Xia De couldn't decide whether to stay or not:
"Continue to wait for me in the dream, may the moon bless you, Miss Fiona Drago."
Xia De said seriously, and then found a wall without oil paintings, and set up a tent-centered camp with Fiona again.
This time he came here with more mattresses and quilts, and made the tent quite soft. Afterwards, Xia De surrounded the tent with short stone pillars, and then tied each stone pillar in turn with a thick hemp rope. summer
De stood outside the tent, inside the stone pillar fence, and released his new thaumaturgy:
"The Thorns of the Moon!"
After casting the spell three times in a row, holy silver, orange, and **** red thorn bushes cling to the stone pillars and hemp ropes densely.
Fiona hugged Xia De's coat and sat in the tent watching Xia De cast a spell. After he bent down and sat on the ground to meet her vision, she said in a low voice:
"You have to come back as soon as possible... In my dream, I will try my best to recall those forgotten things... You must come back."
"Alright, I will accompany you to the end of the city and send you out safely."
Xia De repeated what he said, the time was almost up, and white mist had already surged around him. Miya, who was squatting on her shoulders, stretched out her paws curiously to catch the white mist. Xia De quickly turned it into a toy and put it in his pocket:
"Huh? Mia can see the fog too... oh, it doesn't belong to this time either."
Thinking in my heart, I said softly:
"Then, I should go."
The red dragon girl nodded slightly, and then asked with a slightly red face:
"Can you kiss me? Just a light kiss."
Shu Tong looked at Xia De, Xia De hesitated for a moment, leaned his face closer, and tapped on Fiona's red lips while she knelt in the tent and closed her eyes. Although I kissed in the watch shop and in the Gaddis Library a long time ago, the soft feeling is still surprising:
"Good night, Fiona."
he said softly.
The red-haired girl responded, and when she opened her eyes to look again, Xia De was no longer in sight.
(Mia is running...)
[Outlander, you have returned to the present time. 】
Stumbling out from the door of the side sleeper, Xia De touched his lips, and the feeling of melancholy made him sigh unconsciously:
"Now is not the time to be melancholy...Mia~"
He took out the cat from his pocket, restored it and held it in his hand, looking at the big eyes of the cat, Xia De also stared at it with wide eyes:
"Mia, when did you learn to glow?"
"Meow~"
The cat meowed softly.
"You mean, when you came into close contact with the flame on the tip of Fiona's tail at the clock shop, you felt the power... eh? When did I learn cat language?"
"She" said with a light smile:
【It just meowed just now, the meaning is your guess. 】
"Is that so... can you say the onomatopoeia 'meow,~' again?"
Xia De asked, "she" naturally ignored Xia De's request.
"So Mia, can you still shine?"
Xia De asked expectantly, the silly cat looked at him without any reaction.
"So, what skills do you have? Don't say it, you still don't know anything."
Xia De said again, and put Little Miya on the dining table. The squatting cat then stood up, and then tensed all the muscles - if it really had any, the hair on its back exploded, looking very hard.
After a while, an extremely weak, almost invisible light appeared on the cat's tail, and Xia De's eyes widened:
"This is it!"
"Meow!"
The light gradually became stronger, of course, it was only compared to before.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
"Meow!"
The light converged on Mia's tail.
"Yes Yes!"
"Meow!"
In Xia De's expectant eyes--
puff!
A small cluster of dazzling golden flames appeared at the tip of the cat's tail, but disappeared after a shake. If Xia De had blinked just now, he might not have seen the flame
.
"You can really emit flames?!"
Looking at Miya again, the cat was excitedly circling and chasing its tail, and seemed very satisfied with its "power".
"However, although it is regarded as extraordinary power, what is it? A small flame that has been charged?"
So Xia De picked up the cat in his left hand, held its tail in his right hand, and came to the stove amidst Mia's violent struggle. After turning on the gas stove, he ordered Mia to show her skills.
It took a lot of effort to let the silly cat know what he wanted to do. After Mia "charged up" again, the small flame that appeared for the second time from the cat's tail held by Xia De successfully ignited the gas in front of him stove.
"Hmm... cook at home in the future, save money on matches... no~www.mtlnovel.com~ I can also summon flames myself, this is a basic spell..."
He didn't know how to describe the cat's ability. If it wasn't counting the change from a toy to a cat, this was the first extraordinary ability this cat showed, and it was something Xia De had always wanted to prove. But when this thing really happened, Xia De felt that it was nothing at all, and it didn't meet his psychological expectations at all. The particularity of this ability couldn't even compare with Mia's own super intelligence.
[What do you think you will see? 】
"How about Mia turning into the sun and dispelling the darkness of Evernight City?"
"She" didn't mean anything at all.
Although Xia De had done a lot of things this morning, it was only before eight o'clock.
Seeing that it was still early, Xia De packed up and was ready to go out. Winter has come to an end, and the weather in Tobesk was really good a few days ago. But today, the dense fog familiar to the citizens shrouded the city again. Although the sun has risen, the city still looks gloomy.
The sound of carriages passing by and newsboys yelling news could already be heard outside the window. At this time, the doorbell downstairs rang, and Xia De opened the door curiously, only to find that it was Iluna who had come to visit so early:
"New news!"
The seventeen-year-old girl said excitedly as soon as she entered the door, Xia De invited her to go upstairs to talk, but Iluna has other things to do in a while, and she will leave soon:
"Last Thursday morning, after you told me about [The Feast of Mother Earth] at the Three Cats Hotel, I told the church about it, and the church really started to arrange for me to travel to the Randall Valley, but the specific time Not sure. Other than that, I see more verses about the Chosen Ones of the Earth!"
