"To summarize, this time the enemy is a ring warlock who knows about tree holes, but does not master tree holes, and is over fifty years old? If the opponent is strong enough, sixty or seventy years old is not too old.
So Shade, what are your plans for tomorrow? I will not allow you to go alone."
"Of course I won't go by myself, Miss Winslet. I will also trouble you to turn into an owl and follow me."
"no problem."
The witch immediately smiled and said that she was very satisfied that she could follow Shade back to the past, and she could also continue to follow Shade in the present because she was an owl.
But the red-haired sorceress was dissatisfied because of this:
"What about me? Do you want to stay and continue reading the information?"
"Danister, until we find a way to restrict the tree holes, someone must stay to guard them. Your contribution is no less than mine."
The witch said with a smile, and then ordered her apprentice to prepare lunch:
"Since you have something to do in the afternoon, let's meet here tomorrow. For safety, I have arranged for my followers to ambush nearby. Don't worry about confidentiality. My girls are very good at hiding themselves."
The red-haired girl on the side then tugged on Shade's sleeve, looking very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After lunch, Shade didn't throw away his glass slipper and go home, because it would take the book outside Vista City. So he honestly set out from the city to the woodland, and it took him nearly an hour to get there.
Under the elf girl's tree house.
Coincidentally, she was having lunch on the platform outside the tree house. From this position, she could see the scenery of the woodland. When she saw Xia De turning into a red butterfly and flying up, she said very stingily:
"I didn't prepare your lunch."
"It doesn't matter, I've prepared it for you."
He recovered the food packed from the hotel and put it on the table. The blond elf pouted slightly, stood up and brought a new pair of knives and forks for Shade:
"You must have come to me because you have something to do, right?"
"I will come to you if I have nothing to do. Of course, something happened this time. I found another tree hole and a bizarre story."
During the second lunch, Shade briefly told the story of the Cumming family. He was now very skilled in telling this story. After he finished telling it, he took out the book, but Miss Elf did not refuse:
"It's okay to temporarily store this book for you, but you can't always do this. If you find a brand new tree hole next, who else can you go to?"
"This is the problem. I currently lack the method to destroy these twisted tree holes, and I also lack the means to restrict these tree holes from being opened at will."
They were obviously talking while eating, but her movements were very elegant:
"Can any of you completely eliminate the 'special light area' centered on the Moon Bay area? So far, the church has only mastered the 'Night Seal' to resist those lights. Therefore, the Twisted Tree Hole cannot be easily eliminated.
"
She is right, even the "power of the earth·healing aura" can only weaken the light intensity in the special light area, rather than completely purifying it:
"So since tree holes cannot be completely eliminated, is there any way to limit them?"
Emerald green eyes glanced at him:
"Of course there is a way, but I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when I get the second arrow."
Shade didn’t object either:
"I use the time key to use these tree holes without carrying a curse. But I can sense that this opportunity has a limit on the number of times. Do you know what will happen if I run out of times?"
He asked again, expecting that the elf in front of him would put forward new conditions, or say a "riddle" that he didn't understand, but he didn't expect that the other party answered simply:
"It's very simple, the tree hole is completely out of control.
Today's tree holes are still attached to the main body of the 'tree', and are still restricted by the remaining power of the tree father. If you exhaust those restrictive powers, the distorted time and space channels will be completely opened and spread rapidly, which will probably lead to two
The overlap of time and space led to the collapse of a large area of time, and finally caused the entire Ximu Town to completely disappear in the long river of time."
Shade nodded to express his understanding:
"In other words, if I can find a way to restore those restricted powers, can I actually achieve those 'charges' that distort the number of times the tree hole is used?"
Miss Elf smiled:
"Interesting idea, but you have to explore the possibilities yourself, I can't help you."
"So what about the Paradox Worm? The affairs of the Cumming family have basically been discovered. After I confirm who 'blackmailed' Baron Cumming tomorrow, I will find a way to find the second Paradox Worm. Can you
Are you here to help? To be honest, it’s very difficult for me to fight that bug alone.”
The tall elf girl then nodded:
"Of course, after all, I want you to help me find arrows, and I can't let you be in danger.
However, things are not as troublesome as you think. If you can use [Eternal Youth Leaf] to detect whose soul that insect is in, you might be able to kill it before it leaves the human body and shows its power. Hidden in the Cursed
Bugs in the soul are not scary, at least not to you and me."
??????55.??????
So during the group meeting that afternoon, Shade brought "The Story of the Cumming Family" to everyone.
Although Luvia already knew the story, Dorothy probably got a few words from Carina through Lesia, Dr. Schneider was used to all kinds of domestic trivial matters and quarrels, and the old priest also heard more sensational things in church.
, but the stories are always fascinating.
After all, the story of the Cumming family involves the grievances of three generations, the chaos within the family, the confusion of the parent-child relationship, conspiracy and deeper conspiracy, sacrifice and the real "destiny".
According to Dorothy, if someone wrote this story, when the editor wrote the recommendation, those "keywords" would even be written on the back of the waistband.
"I can't adapt the story this time, I can only draw some inspiration. After all, although there are looming elements of occultism in my detective novels, time travel is really too much."
Miss Writer was very sorry about this, and Shade, who was peeling oranges, said casually:
"At the end of the year, I will publish 'The Detective Who Travels Through Time' as a special chapter. I will write about the detective traveling a hundred years ago to solve the case in the context of the pre-steam era. I can write more about the era and cultural background.
Jokes caused by differences.
At the end of the story, the detective solves the case perfectly, and then lets the detective "wake up" in modern times to find that it was just a dream, but in the end he was left to see the archaeological news, and then he was shocked to discover that he might have existed 100 years ago.
Evidence. But the evidence must be very vague, representing openness."
After saying that, he was about to tease the cat with irritating oranges, which he didn't like, when he realized that everyone was looking at him.
"Xia De, you are such a genius!"
If not everyone in the group was here, Dorothy would have wanted to give Shade a passionate kiss right away.
Priest August also nodded in surprise:
"This is indeed a good idea, and even if some people don't like it, it's just a special chapter at the end of the year."
"Let's discuss business."
Shade tried to bring the topic back and asked Luvia:
"Didn't you participate in the autumn stargazing activities last year? Are you going to participate again this year?"
"certainly!"
Therefore, Luvia will spend a week or two this autumn to live at No. 6, Saint Teresa Square.
The topic of the group study meeting was successfully brought back by Xia De. Now that the autumn semester has started for nearly a month, lazy people also want to find something serious to do for themselves.
Considering that during the Moon Bay Incident this summer, everyone in the group completed a level promotion, so everyone needs new thaumaturgy, relics and courses. Although everyone has been planning individually since the beginning of this month, it has not been finalized until now
Come down.
In addition to these regular self-improvements, the most important thing is that Priest Augustus who enters the middle circle and Dr. Schneider who enters the high circle must determine their own words of sublimation.
The Word of Ascension is a secret among the ring sorcerers, but there is no need to hide it from other members of the group. After all, you may need help from others for specific spiritual runes in the future.
Therefore, Priest Augustus, who was sitting on the single sofa at the side, first introduced his situation:
"My core spiritual rune only has one [Glimmer], and the sublimation word of the lower ring is——
Falling into darkness, sinking into abyss, I am the glimmer of light.
For the words of sublimation in Central, I found the appropriate sentence directly from the college’s "Classic of Sublimation"——
The shimmering light rises, the soul is broken, and it is nothingness. The shimmering light rises, the soul is broken, and there is nothingness. Among them, only nothingness is more difficult, and the others are common spiritual runes."
"But the meaning of this sentence is not very good."
Shade reminded, the old priest who was wiping his pipe said cheerfully:
"Don't worry about me. I went to Yuewan for vacation and I'm fine now. At least for now."
Next, the doctor will introduce his situation:
"My core spiritual runes are the same as the detective's: [Light of the Soul] [Dream]. The words of sublimation in the low level are: Hounds of light running in malicious dreams; the words of sublimation in the middle level are: Madness of Darkness.
Disciple, the light that destroys the soul.
The two core spirit runes are used in both the low and middle levels, so the academy says that any core spirit rune used in the high level can be used.
The academy's "Book of Ascension" does not have a word of sublimation suitable for me. I currently have my own ideas, but they still need to be verified before they can be realized. The general situation is that I am thinking of ways to add a core spiritual rune to myself."
After the words fell, the other four people looked at each other in confusion. None of them expected that the doctor planned to do this. Finally, the writer, fortune teller and priest all looked at Shade, and Shade had no choice but to remind them on behalf of everyone:
