"There's something wrong with your fortune teller friend."

After talking about the content of the ceremony, we were only halfway down the mountain. It seemed not good to be embarrassed and silent. When Shade tried to introduce a new topic, Sister Devlin said abruptly.

"Oh, I know."

Shade looked up at the starry sky above his head and said softly:

"I've known it since a long time ago."

The nun was silent for a moment:

"Her 'other self' is not normal, and 'she' is haunted by a very terrible curse. This curse is not man-made, it is more like a natural phenomenon, as if the world hates her."

Only the [Spiritual Cult] that advocates animism can easily see this.

"Yes, that's the curse of time."

Shade said softly again, feeling a little melancholy for some reason.

"Then she must have done something that seriously violated the normal rules of time. I can't figure out what she would do to trigger such a terrible curse. The world has never had such strong malice towards a single individual."

After the nun finished speaking, she fell silent, and Shade, who was thinking about Luvia's question, did not think of a new topic. It took him a long time to break the monotonous sound of women's boots and men's leather shoes trampling on fallen leaves. There was a sound in the distance.

The howling of wolves came, and the city below the mountain was lit by gas lamps:

"Sister, regarding Luvia's problem, can you have a deeper perception?"

"She needs to remain still in front of me and let me take off the blindfold and look directly at her. Moreover, that kind of terrible curse cannot be solved by mortals. You at least need to know what she has done before you can know how to break the curse.

.”

"I see."

Shade nodded and sent the nun all the way down the mountain, then turned around and walked into the forest again facing the moonlight.

Walking out of the basement, he found Luvia on the second floor, who was holding a reluctant Mia and looking a little sad.

"Louvia, what's wrong with you? Why do you look in a bad mood?"

The purple-eyed girl stood by the window and looked outside the square. The room was so bright that the glass in front of her reflected her and Mia's expressions like a mirror.

The smart cat also noticed Shade from the reflection in the window glass, and immediately struggled to escape from Luvia's arms.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I saw the nun just now, something strange appeared in front of my eyes."

She turned around, her red lips twitched, and her purple eyes stared at Shade:

"I saw Sister Devlin dying in the flames. Her whole body was covered with red cracks, and in the end even her body was burned to ashes. She handed me a handful of weak fire and asked me to inherit her responsibilities.

, guard the original flame."

"Primal Flame?"

Shade frowned slightly and stopped.

He did tell Luvia that the "reverse" man Joey Barton predicted the death of him and the nun, that is, they would die in the collapsed tower at the beginning of this year and turn into ashes more than ten years later. But it didn't happen.

Due to his promise to keep the secret, he never told Luvia that the fire in Sister Devlin's hand was an angel-level (level 1) relic [Primal Fire].

"Is this a true prophecy made in a flash of inspiration?"

Shade asked, it is indeed possible for a diviner to suddenly see a fragment of the future at a certain moment. But Shade himself did not believe the guess he made. After tonight's communication with the nun, he had no idea about Luvia's situation.

There are already vague guesses, but I’m not sure yet:

"It's okay. Everything in the future may not necessarily develop according to your prediction."

He walked over and hugged Luvia, and then little Mia found the opportunity to "escape" from the embrace:

"It's like, didn't you always think that our group would always be just four people? But I showed up this summer anyway. Oh, I still remember that look on your face when you first saw me at Lakeview Manor."

"Yes."

The purple-eyed girl nodded slightly.

"What you see is just a possibility. Besides, you don't know Sister Devlin at all. Even if the nun really wants to entrust that angelic relic to someone, it can't be you."

"But the future"

"Sixth Era Universal Calendar Year 1853, Late Autumn"

Shade imitated "her" tone and said, then glanced out the window:

".The Red Moon Shines Darkly. Luvia Fiocci Anat, you have once again witnessed the unknown future, but at this moment, standing beside you is not only yourself, but also the person who hides the secret in your heart.

A stranger outside destiny.”

He held Luvia in his arms and looked at her beautiful purple eyes up close:

"Time puts a curse on you, but fate is blessing you. The magnificent epic has begun. After the curtain rises, why are you still confused? You are not walking alone. People who have awakened from blindness and ignorance are by your side.

.When two hands hold together on a midsummer night, you should understand that this is the beginning of an epic, a story between you and him."

Luvia finally smiled:

"What is this? A poem of destiny that you wrote for me?"

"No, no, this is just stating the facts."

Shade said.

"Well, Shade, maybe you are better at pleasing girls than I thought - may fate bless you and me."

As she said that, she put her arms around Shade's neck and kissed him passionately. But when the tender feeling flooded into her mind, for some reason Shade actually felt like she was kissing two people.

"What a weird feeling this is, etc."

He was very puzzled and temporarily pushed Luvia away:

"You haven't told me yet whether Sister Devlin is the first candidate for the Chosen One of Death?"

"She's not, but she has other problems. The first candidate for death should be between Joey Barton, the reborn man, and our friend Priest Rat Augustus. Shade, at this time, ask

Is this really a good question?”

She asked angrily, and then hugged Shade again.

"Meow!"

The cat standing on the back of the sofa barked dissatisfiedly, thinking that it had been ignored by Shade again.

Then, the cat actually saw a double image of the human woman's body under the light of the gas lamp. A blurry shadow almost completely overlapped with her body. Four arms hugged Shade at the same time, and

What kissed Shade were two identical faces.

"Meow?"

Its big amber eyes were full of curiosity, and the cat could not understand this strange phenomenon.

"Shadow."

Purple eyes seemed to contain the secrets of the entire world. Although Shade believed that even though the witches were unparalleled in beauty, Luvia's eyes were still the most beautiful.

"What's wrong?"

Under the gas lamp in the living room, she showed a gentle smile, and the shadows of the two were entangled together, just like the fate that had already been intertwined:

"Can you grant me a small wish?"

"Of course, what wish?"
