The journey to the ceremony location was much longer than everyone initially expected. Under the guidance of the forest elves, the group first walked around the edge of the city, and then plunged deeper into the forest.
With the unicorn opening the way ahead, a road appeared even in the dense forest where there was no road. Just walking, Shade suddenly realized that this road was not unfamiliar to him. And that night around eight o'clock
At that time, his suspicion became a reality.
A deserted man-made path suddenly appeared in the bare forest, so the elf girl riding a unicorn signaled everyone to stop.
When the five people and their mounts walked less than twenty steps along the path, their eyes suddenly opened up. The moonlight and starlight spread mottled bright spots from the crown of the dense giant tree to the ground, and the stars swayed in the night wind.
The branches and leaves together compose the song of autumn night.
Under the giant tree, the five chairs were exactly the same as when Shade and the doctor left. Only the rune on the back of the chair that symbolized "flame" lit up red, which meant that the devil had been killed.
The wind in the forest also blew everyone's clothes. Luvia took a deep breath subconsciously at this time. Somehow, although it was her first time here, she felt that it was unusually familiar. She would
This is due to Shade's description here being too detailed.
"Is this the place Shade mentioned?"
Emilia asked curiously at this time, and Miss Daniste also looked at the scene in front of her in surprise.
"There won't be any danger here, right?"
This was Shade's question. The taller elf immediately shook his head:
"Don't worry, now is not the time to be in danger."
She took the initiative to introduce to everyone:
"Although there are no strong traces of elements here, it is almost the most important place in this forest. To put it simply, the center of the ancient sealing ceremony that sealed this place is here."
"You don't want to say that these chairs are part of the seal, do you? But divination denies this theory."
Shade reminded, and the elf girl continued to explain:
"Of course the chairs are not part of the ceremony. These chairs appeared later than the ancient war, but they should also be in the second era. I have seen inspection records left in the third era in very ancient times.
After the ancient gods left one after another, the powerful Elf Empire actually did not collapse immediately. In order to commemorate the war that took place here, the five Elf Kings used the remaining power of the tree to give birth to these five chairs, and held a meeting here every hundred years.
At a banquet of elves, five crowned kings will also gather here.
On the one hand, it is to commemorate, and on the other hand, it is also to remind future generations of elves not to forget that there are such terrible things here."
Luvia's purple eyes looked at the chairs:
"Why is the middle one so big compared to the other four? Does it symbolize unique status? Moreover, even the four smaller chairs don't seem to fit the body shape of modern elves. Ancient elves shouldn't be giants, right?"
"The appearance difference between ancient elves and modern elves is not big."
The red-haired girl said, and the girl with pointed ears continued to explain:
"Even in the era when five kings stood side by side, there was still the most powerful king. You can understand that although the five kings stood side by side, there was still one who was the most powerful, and the chair in the middle belonged to him.
The size of these chairs is indeed not commensurate with the body shapes of the elves. Professor Danister is right, the elves in ancient times were about the same size as today. It's just that when holding banquets, the kings will take the initiative to enlarge their bodies, so that
All the elves participating in the banquet can see themselves, which is also a unique ritual."
The shorter Emilia on the side seems to have been brought into the story:
"You can simply imagine the scenes of those grand banquets back then. The elves raised their glasses to the giant kings, while the powerful elf kings sat here and looked at their people!"
"Now that the Elf Empire has long disappeared, even the seal here is unknown. Unexpectedly, these banquet seats have survived and been used."
The elf sighed, and then motioned for everyone to help prepare for the ceremony.
Theoretically speaking, there is no need for a ritual to use the qualification. Once the power is activated, you can go directly to the past time. The purpose of this ritual is to assist in time positioning, so the core item of the ritual is the "Fei" provided by Shade.
Leanne's Notes" and many tokens provided by the academy.
There are not many items left in the college today that existed when the college was founded. For tonight's ceremony, the principal, Professor Pigman, even lent a seal symbolizing the position of "principal". This seal was originally an ordinary item.
But because it symbolizes the highest power of the academy, it has even spontaneously turned into an alchemical item with enlightenment elements.
In addition to notes and seals, Miss Denister also brought books from the past, stones from the foundation of the college, fragments of ancient bookshelves in the college library, and other items.
The five people acted together and quickly arranged the ceremony in this open space. Emilia nervously grabbed the strap of her bag, still thinking about whether she felt a little uncomfortable when she said goodbye to Agelina in the hotel just now.
Officially, at this time Xia De had already taken the initiative to give her a hug:
"Be careful when you are alone. Neither we nor little Lianna can accompany you. You have to walk the next road by yourself."
"Don't worry, even if you can't pinpoint the year when the college was first established, it will definitely be a time related to the college. The ancient gods will not let you face danger. This qualification is a blessing to the candidate."
The red-haired girl spoke second, followed by Luvia, looking at her with a smile with purple eyes:
"I have divined this matter, don't worry, Emilia, there will be no mistakes."
Shade originally thought that the elf girl in the forest was not going to speak, but unexpectedly she also said to Emilia:
"Here's this for you, go look at it when you have time."
Then she gave Emilia a diary, which was exactly the same as the one Emilia used to record Shade's story.
Of course Emilia didn't notice this. Although she was calm for a while on the road, now she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She responded to the four people's farewells one by one, and then hugged little Lianna.
head:
"Little Liana, I will miss you, and you must miss me too."
The ignorant little unicorn nuzzled her, and Emilia tried very hard not to cry. This kind of adventure of traveling to an uncertain place without any familiar people around her was really disappointing.
The elf who had been away from the academy was flustered. However, she remembered her determination, so she pretended to be strong.
Suddenly she remembered the advice given by the little princess when she said goodbye to her just now, so she mustered up the courage to say to Shade:
"Can you give me a kiss?"
She pointed to her forehead, and Shade kissed her gently, and then combed her long golden hair:
"Don't be nervous, this is not the final battle, it's just for you to learn.
Finally, confirm, [Elf Kingship], casting materials, my letter of introduction, letters of introduction from Professor Pigman and Miss Daniste, fifth era common language dictionary, gold ingots and silver ingots used as currency, for healing.
Have you brought the holy water, the angel elixir for recovery, the sunshine gun brooch that Iluna gave you, the emergency food that Agelina gave you, and the alchemy items for protection?"
Emilia checked her small satchel again, and then nodded affirmatively. With the qualification to travel through time, she could bring anything except relics, otherwise Shade would even want her to bring the [Ocarina of Time] with her.
"It's almost time, it's time to hold the ceremony."
The tall elf on the side reminded, and Emilia pursed her lips and walked towards the center of the ceremony. This time she did not look back. After she stood firm in the center of the circular ceremony array, she even smiled at Shade.
For a moment, but looking at her hand tightly holding the strap of her satchel, you can tell that she is definitely not as relaxed as she appears at this moment:
"When I come back, I will bring you all souvenirs. I will surprise you."
She said this. Shade had obviously not felt anything just now, but at this moment he really felt that Emilia was very pitiful. He looked at Luvia who was aside, and the latter drew a card to determine the timing:
"no problem."
So the other three people stepped back, and Shade, who had the closest connection with that era, started the ceremony. As the life ring behind him emerged, the [Time and Space] spirit runes illuminated the ritual array, and the ritual array under the moonlight soon
There was a faint silver light.
Emilia raised her right hand high, and the complex leaf pattern mark on the back of her hand emerged. Surrounded by the light, she closed her eyes, and then she felt that the mark on the back of her hand was getting hotter and hotter.
She wanted to say "goodbye" again, but before she could speak again, she felt like she was flying.
The ground beneath her feet disappeared, and the sound of the wind around her disappeared. At this moment, she felt dizzy, as if she was being jumped up and down by little Liana. The dizziness lasted for more than ten seconds and then disappeared. Amy felt like vomiting.
Leah missed a step and fell directly to the ground.
"Is this a success?"
She opened her eyes and wanted to get up, but before her vision recovered due to the instability of her soul, the first thing she felt was the seemingly endless malice coming from her surroundings.
The hairs on the elf's fair skin exploded, and Emilia jumped up and looked around hard. The "mist" that shrouded her eyes disappeared, and she saw that she was standing in a cold, dark corridor.
The dilapidated corridor looked like no one had walked through it for hundreds of years. Only the bases of the spar lamps on the walls that had only appeared in textbooks before were left. The faces of the hanging portraits were covered with gray mold.
It turned into a weird and terrifying appearance.
Water seemed to be seeping from the gaps in the floor tiles, and the black marks scattered on the slippery floor made Emilia wonder if they were blood stains.
The air was filled with a wet stench similar to that of an undersea cave, and her ears could only hear the rumbling sound of water. In fear and panic, she looked towards the window on the side of the corridor, but she only took a glance at the deep darkness.
She almost fainted with fear, and she didn't dare to take a closer look at the glowing "snowflakes" flying in the air.
"Depressed" and "ruined" are no longer enough to describe the surrounding environment. Emilia can't find a more terrifying place in her memory.
"Where is this place?"
Tears of fear were about to appear in the corners of my eyes. No matter where it was, it could not be St. Byrons Comprehensive College. No matter how shabby the college was when it was first established, it would never look like this.
