Chapter 2568 The Mysterious Old God

Chapter 2567 The mysterious old god

[Outlander, you have returned to the present time. 】

"Mia~"

After stumbling out of the study, Shade immediately bent down and picked up the cat, which was still waiting for him. Before the cat could react, Shade pressed his face against the cat's back and rubbed it.

"Meow~"

The frightened little Mia escaped from Shade's hands, and Shade, who felt that he had regained happiness and hope from little Mia, finally recovered:

"As expected, it's better to be at home. That black beach is really Mia. Aren't you angry with me?"

Of course, the cat did not reject Shade's approach, but was frightened by his actions just now. Fortunately, it quickly wandered to Shade's feet and did not struggle again after being picked up by Shade.

At this point, the first expedition of the fifth era time key in 2025 is over. Shade has almost figured out the rules there, and the ship that can go to any time and place as long as he pays the ticket also gives him unlimited reverie.

Of course, before using that ship to achieve your own goals, it is more important to complete the past mission first.

There is no rush to go to Sister Devlin to borrow an "eye patch". Next Sunday is still far away. Shade plans to take time next week to talk to Sister Devlin, and then directly offer sacrifices at the top of the mountain next Sunday morning. Field opens that door.

As for going to the doctor to ask about his sin, he was not in a hurry to leave immediately. Instead, he planned to go to the doctor at night to seek help.

Of course, there is actually another question in this Time Key adventure, which is who the "God of Ferryman" is. However, Shade did not need to write a special letter to ask the "wisdom" witches Megan and Audrey, because there were people in Vista City who were willing to help him answer his questions.

Wearing a garland and walking through the woodland, the carriage took Shade to the "Accordion Inn" at nine o'clock in the morning. Compared with Friday, the downtown of Vista City on Sunday was more lively. The Moon Dance Festival concert was about to open. Margaret even asked Miss Sylvia to ask Carina to help deliver a letter to Xia through the parliament. De said that she actually wanted to come here to participate in the Moon Dance Festival.

Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess does not have such free time.

When she knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room, she was sitting on the sofa and looking through the books in her hands. The coffee table in front of her was filled with various letters and books. This scene was very similar to her office in the library. picture.

She was wearing the clothes that Shade brought yesterday, which made her look younger than yesterday.

The chubby round-faced owl was also here at this time, but instead of standing on the birdstand, he stood on the small sofa and used his wings to read the book floating in front of him.

Seeing Shade coming, the red-haired girl put down the book in her hand, and the chubby owl transformed back into the young witch with gray-black hair in the gray-white fog.

Flora Winslet stroked the hair on the back of her head with her hand, looking very lazy:

"Don't ask me why I don't stay in human form all the time. That would be very tiring."

Shade imagined Miss Daniste spending the whole day with an owl reading a book, and tried not to laugh.

A small number of the books on the table are books about the history and folklore of Ximu Town borrowed from the local library, while the others are books sent from the college library that may be related to the "time curse".

Miss Danister's contact with the [Forest Hermits] was not going smoothly, and the eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress was still waiting for news. The fat owl, Miss Winslet's followers, will not come here until tomorrow.

When Shade sat down, she took out her pair of plain gold glasses from her pocket. These glasses are a relic. The patterns on her round face when she transformed into an owl are probably these glasses.

"The lines on the glasses in the owl state are just lines, not the glasses."

The witch seemed to know what Shade was thinking, and asked Miss Daniste with a smile:

"Didn't you teach him the basics of transfiguration?"

The eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress shook her head while holding a tea cup:

"I am only responsible for teaching about the moon, and I am not the only teacher of Shade."

"Well, one of the common sense of transfiguration is that certain relics that need to be 'worn' to be effective, are not limited to rings, glasses, etc. After transformation, they need to be re-worn in the transformed posture to be effective, rather than the relic itself being integrated into Transforming."

She raised her two hands, grabbed the temples of the glasses she had put on and shook them at Shade:

"I saw that you are so proficient in the transformation technique - the cat, and the transformation state is very good, I thought you knew this."

"I didn't learn the art of transformation."

Shade explained, then asked the two ladies if their current condition and curse had worsened, and then asked:

"I will set off to officially start the investigation in a moment. However, I have also encountered some troubles myself. Can I ask you some questions?"

"sure."

Miss Danister put down her tea cup and stared at him with her rose-red eyes, while the witch joked:

"If you didn't say you needed help, I probably would have really thought Danister was your student."

Apparently she was happy to help, too.

"That's it. Do you know the old god [God of Ferryman]? That god is also called [The Ferryman of the narrow room]."

Miss Denister immediately frowned:

"Where did you hear about this god? This old god left in the middle of the Fifth Era and is the god with the least information so far.

Knowing the god will be affected by the power of the god, and this is most obvious in this god.

Only those who are most disappointed with life and those who want to leave this world the most will know this great man. And those mortals who spontaneously know this god, the final outcome is mostly either suicide or suddenly disappearing one day."

In other words, "Black Sand Pier" is just one of the places where the god appears, and the normal "ferry" does not need to pass through there.

The witch added:

"Because knowing its existence may be dangerous, this god is also one of the few gods without a cult and large-scale believers. Probably only a few ring magicians with special powers will believe in him. Hamilton, among all the old gods, this one not only has the least information, but can also be regarded as the most mysterious one.

We [Witch Council] have an ancient heritage. According to the information I have read in the council, this god has been regarded as a terrible rumor in the first era. At that time, people believed that excessive sadness would lead to darkness, and the gods in the darkness would take away their souls.

The god did not explain his existence. Ancient documents show that at least in the middle of the Second Age, mortals did not know what kind of power this god had."

Miss Winslet asked Xiang Shade very worriedly:

"You shouldn't have heard the voice inviting you to board the ship for a long journey?"

"Of course not, my life is very happy."

Shade shook his head hurriedly:

"And didn't that god leave in the Fifth Age? I just want to ask: In addition to the more superficial Obviously, besides taking away those who are tired of life and the world, what other powers does this [Ferryman God] have? "

"Bless the ferryman. Note that it is not a sailor or a fisherman, but a boatman who props up a small boat and carries people for a fee."

Miss Danister didn't know much about this, and it was Miss Winslet who answered Shade:

"And it is said that this mysterious god has the power to penetrate time and space. Taking away those who want to leave the world completely is just a way of showing His power. You asked us about this great man. Do you want to use the power of the old god to solve the time curse? "

Shade had never thought of this idea, but it seemed feasible:

"Through the cabinet, let you go back to 1763, when the tree father thought you should exist, and then use the ferryman to take you back to the present 1854. Yes, it sounds good, but I feel that this is more difficult than solving the curse directly. "

The two ladies laughed, but anyway, Shade thought of such a mysterious god to help them, and they were still a little touched.

After confirming the general situation of the old gods he encountered in the past, Shade was ready to start his investigation in Vesta City.

But Miss Danister stopped him:

"We discussed it yesterday. Based on our experience, it is very easy for a person to fall into danger and even fail to pass on information, so I don't recommend you to be alone in the Vesta Forest area."

"Do you want to investigate with me?"

Shade asked in surprise, but Miss Danister gestured to Shade to look at the witch beside him:

"I only have the seventh ring now, and I can't help you even if I follow you. Flora said that her followers haven't arrived yet, so she is willing to help.

You will go out together later. She is also a high ring in the owl state. No matter what you encounter, I think she can at least pass on the news."

Shade looked at the witch suspiciously. He didn't believe that the other party really just wanted to help. At the same time, he was more curious about how the witch convinced Miss Danister.

But this arrangement does sound reasonable. If there is such a helper around, it will obviously be more convenient to investigate:

"Miss Winslet, will you follow me in the form of an owl, or act with me in the form of a human?"

The witch with gray-black hair stood up:

"Definitely not an owl. Carrying an owl around the city will make you the focus everywhere. I would like to use human form, but my beauty is too impressive and the consumption is too great.

So I will turn into a small animal to follow you. Considering the city environment, you should not mind if I turn into a cat and follow you?"
