Chapter 4294 The Memories of Being Found

Chapter 4294 The Recovered Memories

Upon hearing that even the gods praised Mia, Shad immediately smiled:

"Yes, this cat is named Mia, and she has lived with me for a long time. I previously discovered that she has the blood of the Son of the Sun, and she can even breathe small fireballs. Mia, this deity is a deity with the power of the sun. Quickly greet this great being."

Shad stroked the cat and said this. The cat looked at Shad, and was about to meow at the tall, well-built being, when the god said again:

"Child from a distant time and space, you seem unaware that it possesses even greater power."

Shad then thought of Xiaomia's "erroneous evolution" form:

“I’ve seen Xiaomia use even more powerful abilities before, but that requires very special circumstances.”

The deity smiled gently, not giving Shad another chance to bring up the matter of having Mia greet them:

"If you can get the pregnant woman downstairs to come to me and make the request before you leave, I can give this cat a ray of sunshine."

Xia De was taken aback, then pleasantly surprised:

"You are so generous."

After thanking him, he hesitated for a moment and then said:

“But I will not force a mother, whose life has been played a cruel joke on her, to make a choice just for the reward you offer. Although I do not know her story, I can guess that she has made a bitter choice.”

"I'm just waiting for your results."

God spoke gently, and Shad nodded slightly. He then tried to persuade Mia to thank God as well, but God clearly didn't want Shad and the cat to stay in this dream any longer.

"Go, guide those who have lost their way to me, may the sun and the moon bless you."

Warm sunlight enveloped Shad and the cat, and as the light faded, Shad opened his eyes. He heard Mia's soft meow; she was telling Shad what he wanted to know:

The perceived duration of this sleep was 20 minutes.

It took a little longer than Xia De had anticipated, but fortunately, he had successfully achieved his goal. Now that he was certain this wasn't a dream of the gods, he could proceed with the rest of the matter using normal methods.

"how's it going?"

He sat up, supporting himself on the ground. Ms. Thorne gently asked Shad how he was doing, and Shad shook his head.

"I'm fine, it just proved some things."

This short sleep did not make him feel sleepy or tired. Shad picked up the cat, who had also woken up, and put it on his lap. Seeing that the information about the "Sea of ​​Origin" had been put aside, he knew that Ms. Thorne had already learned about that information.

He did not ask Mrs. Thorne for her opinion, but instead addressed the people by the fire:

"Now, let's address everyone's questions."

The ladies all looked at Shad, who first looked at the pregnant Carmen, who instinctively covered her stomach.

Xia De emphasized:

“I will not force you to make any choice. It is only because the gods have given me the task of guiding you that I want to ask you—Ms. Carmen, do you not want to regain your memories right now?”

The pregnant mother shook her head firmly:

“No, all I want now is to give birth to her. Ms. Thorne told me she’s a lovely girl.”

Xia De then said no more:

"Then, Ms. Thorne and the two Ms. Victors, you will try the method I brought to help you regain your memories."

Sirius provided Shad with divine items, potions, and relic derivatives, with Shad first offering a "powerful memory restoration potion."

The potion that Sirius prepared was in very large quantities; even just one drop would be enough to remind someone of bedwetting as a child. But Shad still gave everyone a shallow amount, about the bottom of a teacup.

The "everyone" here does not include the pregnant Carmen and Mia, but it does include Shad, because Shad realizes that he should also be considered an amnesiac. Although his amnesia is unrelated to this place, there is no harm in trying the potion. At least, Sirius said that as long as you don't drink too much, it won't be harmful. On the contrary, it can make the drinker truly have a photographic memory for a short period of time.

"Then, cheers."

Shad clinked glasses with the three witches, and then the four of them drank the potion together. Mia saw Shad drinking and clung to his leg, wanting a drink too, but this time Shad ignored the cat's request.

Shad didn't know how the witches felt. The moment the drug took effect, he really remembered his childhood in his hometown when he wet the bed. The effect that Sirius described was not a metaphor but a fact.

As long-forgotten memories of his hometown resurfaced, even Xia De, who considered himself very strong, felt his eyes welling up with tears. Even though he had decided never to return to the place he came from, it was, after all, his hometown.

Those images, sounds, smells, and even feelings hidden deep in his memory were unearthed and filled Xia De's heart.

The dappled sunlight I saw when I looked up at the big tree in the orphanage during summer summers as a child, the dim starry sky I saw through the window when I couldn't sleep at night, the delicious candies I could only eat on my birthday, and the joy and sorrow I felt when I received my university acceptance letter as an adult.

All his feelings rushed to his senses in an instant. He forced himself to close his eyes to get through the moment of being stunned by the intense emotional impact.

The cat looked at Shad worriedly, but Shad was alright. After the overwhelming emotional shock subsided like a tide, apart from a faint emptiness and melancholy, he thought more about the memories that had been retrieved, but there were no fragments related to the spring of 1853.

He did recall many forgotten memories, but they were only memories of his hometown and the summer of 1853. He even remembered some small things from 1853, such as when he first met Director Anlos, Director Anlos made the judgment that "judging from the marks on your palm, you must have done a lot of heavy work in the past" by shaking hands (Chapter 158).

But such gains are of no use.

"This potion is really powerful."

But Shad still praised it, and then wondered what would happen if Mia drank the potion, though Shad wasn't that malicious.

Are you worried that Mia might remember that her original owner was Mia God?

"She" suddenly asked. Of course, Xia De would not admit that he would think that way, and even if Mia really had such early memories, he was confident that the current Mia would choose him rather than Miss Gao De to live with.

Lady Thorne and the two old witches, who also drank the potion, developed symptoms similar to Shad's. The return of a large number of lost memories in a short period of time caused everyone to experience a huge emotional shock.

Fortunately, they were not low-level witches, so they were only momentarily stunned.

Shortly after Shad returned to normal, Lady Thorne, slightly out of breath, also returned to normal. She sensed that the pregnant Lady Carmen was looking at everyone with concern, while Shad, now back to normal, was looking at her. So the twelfth-order witch said:

"My memories of this place have not yet been recovered."

Shad wasn't disappointed, after all, there were still two methods left to try, but Ms. Thorne said:

"The potion wasn't entirely ineffective; some of my lost memories related to the Sea of ​​Origin have been recovered."

Xia De frowned slightly:

"So, is the severity of amnesia in this swamp higher than that in the Sea of ​​Origin? And what have you remembered?"

The witch's expression immediately turned ugly, and Shad felt he had guessed something:

"If you recall the silver-headed monsters, then do not speak of them, do not dwell on them, and do not try to understand what they are. Calm down and meditate on the holy emblem of the gods."

Ms. Thorne then began to meditate, and after a moment she whispered:

"I feel much better. Yes, that thing appeared in the recovered memory fragments. It was terrifying. I can understand its appearance and shape, but the combination of them is so bizarre."

She wanted to share more memories with Shad, but considering that Lady Carmen was still there, she didn't continue. At this moment, the two old witches also recovered from the overwhelming emotional shock. They were older than everyone else present combined, and had the most lost memories recovered by the potion.

Since Ms. Thorne hadn't recovered her lost memories of this place, Shad assumed that the two old witches wouldn't be able to recover any either. However, after the frail old women calmed down, they said to Shad:

“Young man, we have remembered something. We have come here to cure the ailment we share. This ailment has been troubling us for at least twenty years, and it is only in recent years that we have finally made the decision to risk coming here to seek the help of the gods.”

They couldn't recall exactly what the illness was, but the return of vague memories led them to a key point:

"When we escaped from the fog to here, memories, like colors, burst forth from our ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Although we don't remember the contents of those memories, we still remember how they looked when they left."

Ms. Thorne then offered an explanation from the side:

“The circumstances of memory loss vary from person to person. Most people lose their memories silently, but sometimes such strange phenomena occur.”

Xia De then asked:

"What have your memories become in the fog?"

Maggie Victor and Dot Victor answered together:

"The horse, our memories intertwined, becoming a galloping steed. Clop clop clop, I still remember its footsteps. It took away a part of our lives, took away the things that were most important to us."

"Young sir, we cannot offer you any reward, but please help us find it. The white horse carrying our memories lies in that swamp; find it, and we will remember everything."
