Shade didn't know what was happening around the world. At this time, in the dark and quiet forest, he handed the arrow to the elf who looked happy. Then he took out the bottle of umbilical cord, looked at the moon, and found that the umbilical cords were intertwined.
Green leaf veins have appeared on the leaves:
"So, can I also qualify for the so-called Time War with this? This qualification seems to be even more powerful than my Word of Sublimation."
"Of course not. You are not a candidate. You are not qualified. You are not qualified."
The elf girl who got the arrow said happily:
"However, if the power of these two umbilical cords is absorbed by other candidates, it can strengthen other people's ability to travel. Oh, let me remind you, even if the Time War starts and the tree father opens the qualification to go to the ancient era, you can't even think about it.
To pinpoint a certain period.”
"ah?"
"But if we can gather the qualifications of other people into one person, we can try to break through this accuracy limit. Ahem, now that you have found the third arrow, I can help you transfer this qualification until you find it.
If you have a choice, come to me."
She held the arrow and whistled, and the yellow chocobo that was waiting for her in the forest quickly ran out.
"It's too late today. I have to go back and rest. See you tomorrow~"
She waved and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shade:
"Wait a moment, this is for you."
He wanted to take off the crown stuck on his arm, but the elf girl didn't want it. However, she didn't show any surprise, but her face seemed to be trying not to laugh out of shyness. She knew what it was, shirk.
His tone was also very gentle:
"This shouldn't belong to me. Thank you. Good night, Xia De. We'll see you two tomorrow."
Then he sat sideways on the chocobo and left as if running away.
The owl on Shade's shoulder commented:
"This girl is really innocent and doesn't hide her thoughts at all."
As he spoke, he rubbed Shade's hair with his wings. Shade smiled and moved his eyes to the moon high above again:
"This time the candidates can go to those ancient times and spaces that are most suitable for them."
This was one of the few times when he regretted that he was not the chosen one, but this fact could not be changed.
He was just thinking that in this ancient woodland, seven candidates who had learned ancient knowledge and were accompanied by ancient heroes were about to face off. The forest would witness this "war", although the guardians of time said it was not a duel.
The selection ceremony is only a condition of the ceremony, but Shade still thinks that this ceremony is very legendary.
(Little Mia is running.)
When Shade returned home that night, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Because Carina came to visit with her maids, the house seemed very lively even though it was night. Luvia and Carina were both waiting for Shad to come back. When they saw Shad coming back, they immediately looked at Luvia's face.
On the back of their hands, they all understood:
"You really know this. This happened more than an hour ago. Something new happened in the Vista Grove?"
Luvia stood up in front of the fireplace and showed him the traces of leaf veins on the back of her hand. This trace would not always appear and would only appear if Luvia used her spirit to stimulate it.
"Yes, the story of the Chosen One of Time has finally officially begun."
Shade nodded, took Luvia's hand and touched it:
"I have asked Miss Denister to go to the academy to confirm. Emilia also has this kind of mark on her hands."
Tifa, who had just directed the maids to clean the fireplace, came to Shade and helped him take off his coat. Shade also let go of Luvia's hand:
"Emilia went to bed early tonight. I hope Miss Danister didn't scare her too much when she broke into her dormitory. But the marks on the back of Amelia's hands are much denser than the vein marks on your leaves.
.”
While changing clothes and washing up, he fully explained tonight's events to Luvia and Carina. The Time Guardians did not say that they could not disclose their existence to others.
Luvia actually knew the function of this mark before Shade came back. The mark on the back of the hand was not just a simple mark, it itself represented qualifications and therefore also contained information.
Shade had already met the sleepy Emilia through the projection ceremony half an hour ago and listened to her talk about the information she had obtained, but he still needed to confirm that everyone's information was the same.
After changing into his home clothes, he sat down on the sofa. Little Mia also jumped on his lap and lay down. Luvia said:
"The situation is similar to what you said, except that I got more details.
The so-called 'time war' can indeed be divided into two parts according to the process. The first part is to open the qualifications, and then go to the time point that suits you best to gain power. If you don't prepare for anything, some of it depends on luck, but this is actually
It can be prepared."
Carina helped her tell what they summarized before Shade came back:
"According to Luvia's own understanding, her own experience, origin, bloodline, and soul affinity will affect the time point she goes to. But if she holds the corresponding items when she opens the qualification, it can also increase the possibility of going to a specific time point.
Sex. It’s just that completely precise positioning is almost impossible.”
She looked at Shade, and Shade knew what she meant:
"Louvia, keep talking."
The purple-eyed fortune teller nodded:
“To be eligible to travel to an unknown point in time, you must be within the scope of the Vista Woodland.
Although I don’t know the identities of the other qualifiers, I do know that a total of seven people, including me, have obtained the qualification. After five of them have used their qualifications, the remaining two must use their qualifications within 24 hours, otherwise they will be deemed to have automatically given up.
.
This is the first stage, and at the point in time when we go, we will be regarded as a real time travel, rather than a bystander. Then through specific methods, we can obtain power, weapons and even help through contracts, and then return with these things
Now, of course, you can only bring at most one helper back to the present.
But after everything is over, the weapons and the people summoned will return to where they belong. And the power, unless you truly master it, the borrowed power will disappear."
"Is that what Emilia said?"
Carina asked Xia De again, and Xia De nodded:
"Yes, I originally thought that the candidates with higher rankings had more complete information, but now it seems that everyone is the same."
As for the second stage of the "Time War", everyone returns to the present and then competes until the final winner emerges.
Different from other chosen ceremony, the chosen ceremony of time does not require the person in the lower order to kill the person in the previous order. As long as the time war can be won, any person in the order except Luvia is eligible to hold the final ceremony.
ceremony.
Of course, this does not mean that all candidates are completely fair. The information obtained by Luvia and Emilia shows that the higher the ranking, the more power from other points in time can be brought back to the present.
But Luvia and Emilia also have no way of knowing where they are in the ranking. This is a secret as usual.
"I don't want to participate in this."
After checking the information, Luvia said again. Seeing that the duchess was not surprised, Shade knew that this was what they had already discussed:
"Why?"
"There can only be one person selected. Now that we have Emilia here, why should I participate in this? Why don't we concentrate our efforts to help Emilia."
Luvia saw clearly:
"I bet that Emilia's ranking will be higher than mine. After all, judging from her bloodline, her talent for time must be much higher than mine."
But this time she was wrong. Shade felt that even if Emilia lived for another ten thousand years, she would not be able to learn the ability to destroy time and restart the era.
"And from my own perspective, I don't want to be the chosen one.
Although this status is considered noble, it is also a burden. Among you, Iluna and Iluna, since Iluna is already the chosen one, in order for our next journey to go more smoothly, there is actually no need to let
I also bear these.
As a fortune teller, I'd better not become the protagonist of the story easily, as this will make it difficult for my eyes to see every thread of fate."
Luvia's thoughts are consistent with Shade's. He also thought the same after learning about the so-called "Time War". There is really no need for Luvia to get involved. The shoulder-haired Luvia is based on considerations of the future and her own character.
Long-haired Luvia also hinted in her dream that she did not need to be the chosen one of time.
"That's good."
Shade settled the matter:
"The elves in the forest seem to have a way to bring together different qualifications into one person's identity. This will greatly enhance the power and positioning accuracy of those who obtain the majority of qualifications, allowing them to gain a more advantageous position in the time war.
The qualifications of the two princes as the fourth candidate have now appeared on their umbilical cords, and coupled with your qualifications, Luvia, I think Emilia may go to St. Byrons of the Fifth Era."
"When was your college founded?"
Carina asked, holding the tea cup and thinking for a while, she felt that this arrangement was indeed very good:
"She grew up in St. Byrons. Judging from her identity and experience, she is really compatible with the academy. If you add Miss Feliana's notebook in your hand, it is not impossible for Emilia to travel to that era.
Maybe, just."
The duchess smiled and asked Xiang Shade:
"How do I feel that your focus is not on letting Emilia get something, but on letting her bring Miss Myrna Philiana back to the present?"
Luvia also laughed, and Shade immediately shook his head, but hesitated and nodded again. He touched the cat lying on his lap and did not deny his thoughts:
"Am I wrong to have this idea? The trouble we are facing now is not just the so-called time war. This is actually a trivial matter. Even if someone obtains incredible power, it is only thirteen rings at most. Compared to the evil gods of the past
