Chapter 34: Mikoto's Notes 10
By the time we reached the borders of the city-state, the rain had lightened and a glimmer of light appeared in the sky.
Dale is woken up from her slumber.
Qiuli woke up, she begged Qiuxia to take her back, she pushed away Dai'er who was leaning on her, and scolded Eudora and the others......
"Where are you from?" Eudora's heart throbbed, and she knew that her answer must not be those two words, but she still asked this sentence.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Qiuli had already shuttled back to the castle in almost a moment when the carriage had been driving for about an hour and a half, and it seemed that no matter where she was, she still couldn't escape the scope of the castle.
The heavy rain enveloped the whole world, and the castle in front of it stood in darkness under the rain, like a man-eating monster.
She touched a handful of rain on her head and on her face, swearing in her mouth.
But fortunately, they escaped, and their efforts were not in vain.
A smile appeared at the corner of Qiu Li's mouth, which was really sad and joyful. She expertly pushed open the castle gates.
"The old lady is back!"
In the rain, she gave the world a middle finger.
She's going to look for the shrine maiden, and I don't know if anything happened to her during her absence? Also, she wanted to find out who had injured her that day.
The wound on her head still ached, which made her instantly alert, and the danger was still there.
She walked lightly, the danger came out of nowhere, and her only excellent defensive wind lantern had been given away.
She didn't remember that the lantern was actually from someone else.
She walked through the mud from the back garden to her small room, the floor was slippery, she fell a few times, and once again she stepped on the air, and her clothes were no longer readable.
When she got to the little ledge, she stared at her ledge with strange eyes, which she had never seen before.
It used to be Tracey who came to climb the window, but now it's her.
Tracy? A bright face appeared in her mind, and she already had a conjecture in her mind.
She reached out to open the window.
The window opened automatically, Akiri was startled, took a few steps back, and almost slipped in the mud, the candle flame in the room flickered, and the shrine maiden came out and asked her curiously, "Why did you go out in the rain?" β
Autumn pear: ......
Seeing her embarrassed appearance, the witch smiled and stretched out her hand, the witch seemed weak, this strength was really not small.
She was easily pulled indoors.
The shrine maiden found the towel out of nowhere, and she took it in her hand and dried Akiri's hair.
Under the warm candlelight, this scene turned out to be a little warm.
Qiu Li endured it, and finally reached out and grabbed the towel in her hand: "I'll do it myself." β
In the face of such an active witch, she was a little uncomfortable.
Looking at the candle flame on the side, it didn't burn much, her eyebrows jumped, and she asked, "How long have I been away?" β
The shrine maiden took the book in her hand from the small chair and flipped through it: "I read ten pages of the book. β
It's a really weird way to keep time.
"Did you hear anything strange?" Akiri walked over to the closet, took out a set of dry clothes, and replaced the wet clothes that had soiled.
"Yes, I hear you walking in the garden." The shrine maiden looked at her with a smile.
Qiu Li covered her eyes with her hands: "Don't smile at me. β
"Why?" The shrine maiden asked.
"You're going to blind me."
Before she could remove her hand, the shrine maiden's hand suddenly reached behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist, and she was hugging Akiri.
"I found you, Akiri, and I promise you with my life that I did it." The shrine maiden's voice rang in her ears.
Akiri froze in place as if she had been hit hard, and the witch's body was soft and cold. Akiri turned around and put her hand on the shrine maiden's long, maroon curly hair and rubbed it gently.
"Dale ......"
Yes, they have the same chestnut curly hair, and they like to tug at the placket of their clothes, in fact, if you look closely, you can vaguely see a little bit of Dai'er's shadow on her face.
Qiu Li's nose was sour, and she raised her head, trying to hold back her tears.
"I think, I remember."
The shrine maiden, who had always been calm, trembled in her voice: "I have been looking for you from countless time clips, and it has been so long that I have forgotten everything, only your name." β
With that "Witch Notes", and under the careful teaching of Udora, Dale became the most famous witch in that continent, and she went back in time, but unexpectedly arrived at an earlier moment.
Time had changed, and she couldn't go back to where she was.
The world will go in different directions at different points in time, and in order not to miss Akiri, she splits herself into countless individuals, and she haunts the history of different worlds, and because of this, the legend of the shrine maiden is told in many places.
As time passed, the individual became more and more divided, and her memories began to drain, and she only remembered one name in the end.
"Akiri, you know what? The castle you're in was built on the site of a church that was burned on fire, and we were all executed. β
Daile's voice was soft, and she still liked to tug at the hem of Akiri's clothes as she did when she was a child, and they sat side by side on the edge of the bed, the candle flame flickering.
Akiri listened very carefully.
"Only Eudora escaped, and in order to take revenge, she used a public trial to seal off the entire town along with the people of the church, and burned everything in a fire, and Eudora also died......"
"I appear in every branch of the world, and in every one we end miserably."
"Akiri, you gave us another way."
"The moment you return, the road becomes clear......"
"When I find you, my obsession will be over......" she didn't continue.
Instead, he took out a parchment manual from his sleeve that Qiu Li looked familiar with, "This is the note you gave me and Eudora at the beginning, I added some more content, and now I will return it to you." β
Qiu Li stretched out his hand to take it, and a few lines of text appeared in front of him:
γMikoto's Notes:
Countless lost forms of witchcraft have been recorded, and its magical powers cannot be mastered by mortals. It is a source of chaos, the beginning of ambition and a prologue to tragedy.
However, a man named Akiri becomes the master of the book, and she receives a blessing from the time shrine maiden. γ
Akiri happily put away the notebook, and at the same time, a philosophical topic quickly flashed through her mind: did it come first, the chicken or the egg?
Shaking away the distractions in her mind, Qiu Li asked curiously, "What happened to you after leaving the town?" β
"That autumn pear is back, and you're gone. Brother Tyucia took her away, and we were separated in the next city-state, and the other sisters were reluctant to wander anymore, and Sister Eudora gave them a sum of money, and they settled there, and then, I traveled with Eudora, and with the gold coins you gave, we lived well......"
"The wind lantern you gave us saved us several times, and then it never came back on."
She paused, then suddenly smiled, "But ......"
She paused for a second and continued, "I'm fixed! She stretched out her hand, and a crystal clear wind lantern emitting a goose-yellow light appeared in the palm of her hand.
