Chapter 1811: Red and Green

"I had a strange dream last night. In the dream, Lei Qianya and I held hands and turned into a red butterfly, then flew and flew, flew and flew. The people in the city hit by the red light scattered by our wings also turned into red butterflies because of this. In the end, everyone turned into red butterflies, and everyone flew up together."

"That is indeed very strange. What happened in the end?"

Xia De asked curiously. The blonde girl carefully picked up the bacon with a fork. The cat lying on Xia De's lap sniffed and opened its eyes:

"Then I saw Little Mia squatting on the top of the clock tower in the sunset, and then with a pounce, it swallowed us up."

"Meow!"

Mia pounced from Xia De's lap onto the table. Even if it didn't intend to grab food, it at least had to go and sniff it. However, Xia De, who knew the cat's nature well, grabbed it by the back of its neck, lifted it up, and put it back on his lap.

Duo Luo Xi watched this scene with a smile, feeling that in the rainy weather, watching Xia De tease the cat was also a good enjoyment:

"What do you think this dream means?"

"Um... If you miss Lei Qianya very much, don't worry, isn't this Saturday the new Red Butterfly Day?"

Then he received the reward of Duo Luo Xi ignoring his "dream interpretation" for several minutes.

You nodded to Miss Sylvia, and the latter took out two metal dolls that were back-to-back and stuck together.

After the illusion covered the surroundings, the ship stopped on the lake. Xia De threw away the obstructive umbrella and used an invisible force field to push the rain away from the ship.

Renault also raised a question.

"I checked, if there is no mistake, this boat belongs to the second-to-last ferryman of Shenxingxue Town, Old Red Butterfly. He inherited the responsibility from his father and was responsible for the ferry work in Green Town."

The wooden boat that Xia De brought back from the bottom of the water outside the island on Monday night had been repaired on Megan and Audrey's cruise ship after a day of processing yesterday. It was not repaired using the power of time on the century-old wreckage, but with clever craftsmanship.

"You said he was the second-to-last?"

Renault's perception had already detected the power of the chaotic space of the Whispering Elements, so he held his long staff and waited calmly on the ship with the two Witches, and Xia De also placed the "heirloom" at the bow of the ship.

The hats of the two dolls were also fixed by magnets, so it was very convenient to swap them. After the swapping action was completed, Renault only felt that the rainy sky suddenly turned into a white night, and then the red and green lights of unknown origin flashed alternately, almost blinding his eyes:

"15 pounds..."

The plan went quite smoothly. At the position of the bow that was specially vacated, although the red and green lights flashed alternately again and again, the faint green soul phantom slowly took shape, then bent down and picked up the silver anchor pendant.

"Wait a minute, that town is so big, usually relying only on a small boat, how to maintain the connection between the townspeople and the outside world?"

Renault also raised a question.

"15 pounds..."

Renault felt again that the money values of the Witches were different from his own. You must know that Miss Mia De's monthly allowance was only 10 pounds.

The only detachable part of these two dolls was the hat. In the normal state, the red-clothed one wears a red hat, and the green-clothed one wears a green hat. At this time, as long as they are placed in the same airtight container with a certain amount of green spine ore, they can be contained. Once the hats of the two are swapped, the relic's characteristics will take effect, that is, confusing the surrounding space. During this period, everyone who witnessed the process of swapping the hats would see strange red and green lights appearing alternately in their field of vision. Once one kind of light stops flashing and appears for a long time, it means the relic has entered a runaway state:

"Our family heirloom is not pure silver. It is said that this thing has been passed down in the family since the era of Shenxingxue Town. I checked, it is just a common silver ornament, and saying it is an heirloom, adding a little 15 pounds, it was very easy to buy. In a while, it might be useful."

In order to restore the situation of that year, Renault rowed the boat all the way from the city to the river mouth, until he entered Audrey, which once made me suspect that the two Witches looking for me was just for rowing. But fortunately, they were going downstream, so it was not very strenuous.

The purpose of Renault getting that boat out was to find a way to make the ferryman's soul appear, thereby obtaining the key. And Xia De and Green Lake repaired that boat and even invited Miss Sylvia, who should have been dealing with the affairs of the City of Glass, naturally had their own ideas:

"We don't know if we can still summon the soul after leaving that island, but we have to try it in the end. So, we must restore the environment that allowed that soul to appear as much as possible, that is, water and a chaotic spatial state. In addition, the normal method of stimulating the soul must also be tried, that is, repeating what the ferryman did when he was alive."

The white-haired spatial Witch greeted Renault and took Renault to the cruise ship cabin. Shenxing was standing in the innermost drainage cabin, looking at the repaired small boat in front of her. Originally, two arms were stretched out from behind her, gesturing as if to cast a spell. Seeing Shenxing come, those two real arms immediately retracted:

Both dolls were palm-sized, well-made, wearing buttoned jackets, white boots, and hats. The appearance of the metal dolls was exactly the same, the only difference being the color of the clothes and hats, one all red and one all green. Although it could be seen at a glance that they were metal products, they were still very cheap toys, the kind that Lei Qianya and Margaret would absolutely never have seen.

Xia De stood beside Shenxing and added: The ferryman really appeared.

She showed a rusty and simple-looking silver pendant, which looked like an anchor:

The white-haired Witch recalled the past, sighed, and then said the purpose of bringing Renault along:

"Good afternoon, Renault."

"They have magnets on their backs, so they can be sucked together back-to-back."

"Yes, after Green Town was abandoned, he disappeared. From the current point of view, he rowed the boat alone and then sank into the lake. Later, his son became the new ferryman of the town, and also escaped from Audrey Town that night. Now the descendants of Old Red Butterfly's son still live in Pukhov Village by the lake. The girls under my command found them when investigating the descendants of Green Town, and got this."

The small boat was transferred to the Du Yin River, and then Shenxing and the two Witches walked up. That very primitive small boat needed oars to move. Although the Witches could let it move by itself, this was in the city, so it could only be rowed by Shenxing.

"Guardian-level relic—【Red and Green】."

After Renault and Miss Sylvia were ready, the hands of Green Lake stretched out from behind Xia De to swap the dolls' hats. In this way, if a situation occurred, Shenxing could also react immediately.

"Wait a minute, why did it turn dark?" "Good afternoon, Renault."

Miss Sylvia asked a question, and Xia De shook his head:

Miss Sylvia asked a question, and Xia De answered:

For safety's sake, Renault even took off the white time key and turned it into the 【Yggdrasil Staff】. This was Miss Sylvia's first time seeing Renault use such an angel-level staff weapon, but they were doing serious business, so she didn't ask too much about the origin of the relic.

Red light persists: centering on the dolls, gradually erasing all entities in the surrounding space; green light persists, the dolls are activated, turning into a kind of evil creature whose name I cannot say."

Miss Sylvia explained:

"Of course it's not just relying on that boat. Shenxingxue Town belonged to the Delarian Kingdom, and usually had a boat every day at ten o'clock in the morning to connect with Shenxingxue City. If residents missed the daily boat, Old Red Butterfly was responsible for sending them to the lake shore. Sylvia, don't think that town was as prosperous as the current town a hundred years ago. At that time, the wave of the steam revolution had just emerged. How much travel demand do you think the townspeople in the countryside could have?"

"This is a relatively dangerous Guardian-level relic, almost comparable to the Guardian-level measuring object 【Guardian's Eye】. I remember it was Sylvia's teacher who completed the containment about 15 years ago."

"No problem."

That afternoon, when Shenxing handed the cat to Duo Luo Xi and came to the cruise ship docked on the Du Yin River with an umbrella, besides Xia De and Green Lake, Miss Sylvia was also there.

"Something is wrong, Shenxing said, the location of the shipwreck is very close to the shore. And, it is impossible for the ferryman not to know how to swim. I don't understand, how did the Old Red Butterfly you mentioned die?"

"Yes, when the teacher was still here, she often used that to exercise my spatial perception ability. I have similar miracles now, but in a ghost place like Audrey where space is already fragile, no one can guarantee whether this relic will have other situations. So for safety, you must be present for us to use this relic."

Although the paint on the surface had not peeled off, it was already showing signs of being old due to the passage of time. And on the faces of the two dolls, some letters were carved, which together formed a complete sentence:

【Confusing colors is confusing the world.】

"I don't know either, but the relic hasn't run away yet... The effect of spatial chaos is about to end, get ready."

"If you are curious, you can ask him yourself in a while. However, I guess it has something to do with the ancestors again. Although the grandfather destroyed the sealing ritual on the island, allowing the four of us in my father's generation to live outside the island, but now it seems that the ancestors were arranging the thirteen keys before that, so whether he knew what the grandfather did is hard to say... Let's go, Sylvia, you brought that relic, right?"
