"My friends, I am watching you from the other side of time and wishing you well. Even though I have been dead for many years, I am still with you."
The girl who smiled at the flames planned to leave these words for Shade and the others who could find this piece of bark to see, and she was looking forward to them showing moved expressions.
The wolf's ears twitched again, and she heard the footsteps again. But this time she did not ignore it, but stood up with a serious expression. Those were human footsteps. A girl who lives alone does not think that in a place like this
Meeting humans is a normal thing.
After pushing aside the withered grass, three women wearing crisp black formal clothes came to the periphery of the camp fire. The three of them had the same attire and hairstyle, but none of them were human.
Elves, vampires and dwarves are a combination that even well-informed werewolf girls rarely see.
"Good night, Sibel Bister."
The leader of the high elf greeted, using a greeting method that would only be used by an elf clan that worships the moon, so even the alert werewolf girl had to respond:
"Good night. Are you here to find me? What are you?"
But the tall elf did not introduce himself:
"Memories about that destroyed world should not be preserved by witches beyond the thirteenth level. Even if they can be preserved, they should never be recorded on the bark of the World Tree. Miss Bister, you have violated
The rules of time.”
Girl Gray Wolf looked at the three of them and frowned slightly:
"So are you here to punish me? Or do you want to recycle this piece of bark?"
As she spoke, she prepared for battle. She had heard the secret legends of these people, but this time she obviously understood it wrong.
"We are the guardians of time, responsible for maintaining the stability of time in the material world after the departure of the tree father. You have done nothing wrong. Everything that happens in the long river of time, since it can happen, is the necessity of time.
It’s just that this piece of bark and your presence will affect many things in the future. So, we want to invite you to join us.”
The high elf stretched out his hand to her, and the gray wolf's beautiful eyes blinked a few times:
"join in?"
"Become a time guardian like us, leave the timeline where you are, and walk through all time from the beginning to the end. Certain special destroyed times cannot go."
The wolf-eared witch still couldn't understand the last half of the sentence, but she thought about it but didn't agree:
"I don't want to take on such a responsibility, and I still have a lot of things to do in the current time. I am a free werewolf chasing the moon. I admit that the mission you shoulder is great, but I don't want to let responsibility constrain me.
free."
The guardians of time did not insist that she leave with them:
"Okay, but you have to promise not to show that piece of bark to anyone else."
"no problem."
She also understands the importance of maintaining temporal stability.
"I would also like to remind you that if you are unwilling to leave with us at this moment, your road ahead will be longer than you think."
The vampire among the three said again at this time, and the gray wolf girl thought for a moment:
"This means that I can rely on this piece of bark to become a thirteenth level, or even a demigod witch, and live for a long time?"
The guardians did not answer any more, but said goodbye together:
"Maybe we will meet again someday in the future. I hope you won't regret today's decision then."
"If I had more time to chase the moon, why would I regret it?"
The werewolf girl said, waving goodbye to them. Then she sat down again in her small camp and began to plan whether she would really go to St. Byrons next.
(Little Mia is running.)
The shadow of the giant tree seemed to have remained unchanged in the white mist, but there was still the sound of rustling tree crowns swaying in the windless space. Shade raised his hand to catch the green leaf falling from the air, and he stared at it
A giant tree:
"Tree Father, can you give me the power to fight against the remains of the World Tree?"
The tree still didn't answer him, but the rustling sound became more and more intensive. Shade and the cat under the tree looked up together. Before their figures disappeared into the white mist, both the man and the cat saw the scattered piece of rain.
golden yellow.
【Outlander, you have returned to the present time.】
"Although you were only gone for three seconds, you both look like you have experienced a lot, Shade. Why didn't Mia turn into a toy this time and came out with you?"
Luvia's voice came to my ears, and when I came back to my senses, I was already in the banquet hall of the "Glory Messenger".
Iluna was standing next to her, the eighteen-year-old girl looked lost:
"Now I know how Shade feels. It feels really uncomfortable to be with a group of people from strangers to acquaintances, and finally experience wonderful adventures together, and then never see each other again. Emilia is not here. It seems that she
It should be successful this time.”
"Emilia?"
The red-haired girl who was also waiting for Shade here asked in surprise:
"Wait a minute, have you two met Emilia? Aren't you going to the Yishu Academy?"
The witches also gathered around. Everyone originally just watched Shade and Iluna go on adventures after breakfast, but they didn't expect to get such news.
So Iluna explained from her own perspective that she returned to Yishu Academy earlier than Shade and then met the elf who looked like he was about to cry. Although this incident involved two intertwined periods of time,
line, but everyone can understand it.
"So Emilia was finally brought back to the middle of the fifth era by the green dragon maid, right?"
The little princess finally asked worriedly, and Luvia asked Xiang Shade:
"We didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Is there any way you can confirm Emilia's current situation?"
Her original intention was probably to ask Shade to ask the elves in the forest, but what Shade thought was that since Miss Wilder could write to him through the tea note, she should also be able to write about Emilia's situation.
But he immediately thought that if communication between the two times could really be achieved in this way, then Fiona would have done so long ago. It should be the power of the contract that bound the dragon maids to only complete the work of the maids.
"There is no need to confirm. Since God has promised to help, Emilia's destination this time cannot go wrong."
"I'd better go back to the academy to confirm. Maybe she has left some traces, and Granny Chisara may also know something."
Miss Danister said that and left in a hurry. At this point, the adventure of the Time Key in the Valley of Ashes officially ended.
At the end of this adventure story, Miss Los Metz turned into an angel, which made all the witches sigh.
"The probability of a mortal becoming an angel is even lower than becoming a demigod."
Grandma Cassandra sighed, what the old witch said makes sense. Shade has seen many demigod witches so far, but the mortals who turned into angels have only seen two or three. Listening to the gods in the Lost Forest
I also met someone when I was writing the seven-day travel story, but he didn't understand the background story of that person at all.
"Currently, it seems that if you want to become an angel, you have to spend a long time to show your loyalty and piety. This is the case for Miss Gina Angela Sewell from Tobesk Underground and Miss Los Metz from Yishu Academy.
.”
Iluna concluded like this, and then happily showed everyone the looming angel wings mark on the back of her right hand. She had gained a huge gain this time:
"Look at this!"
Then the ladies all focused their attention:
"What's this?"
"This is the power lent to me by the angel."
"Then can you call out the angel?"
Carina asked, and Iluna shook her head hurriedly:
"This shouldn't be possible, but while it lasts, it can greatly increase my vitality and spiritual recovery speed, and give me a chance to obtain thaumaturgy related to the god this angel belongs to in my dreams. If the mark is consumed at once
,I can.”
"Become an angel?"
The little princess asked enviously, which reminded Shade of the one-time alchemy tool made by Priest August in Green Lake.
"I'm not turning into an angel, I'm temporarily transforming into a thirteenth ring. I am now a ninth ring. Using this power, the spiritual runes of the tenth to thirteenth rings allow me to choose from the knowledge I have learned and fill it in.
on the life ring until the strength level reaches the thirteenth ring.
In this state, I can even use the Word of Sublimation, but it will speed up the consumption of power. After all, it is a one-time use."
"But haven't you still not chosen Gao Huan's words of sublimation?"
Luvia asked her again, and Iluna nodded. She was still thinking about it. But with this opportunity to briefly transform into the thirteenth ring, she could try out the effects of different high-level sublimation words first.
So the purple-eyed fortune teller looked at Shade again:
"Why did our Mr. Knight become so silent after he came back? In the story Iluna told, you didn't encounter anything that made you depressed. Did that god say something to you?"
"No, no."
Shade, who was petting the cat, shook his head. He was just still thinking about the mysterious lock.
The power of "temperance" has now become another opportunity given to him by the old god [Lord of the Black Robe], but he feels that he will never use it. As for the fairy tale lock that has always symbolized a positive spirit, now there are more
He actually still had some concerns about the new component composed of negative traits:
"The god said a lot of things that I couldn't understand, but it probably meant that the remains of the World Tree were not the World Tree after all, so I should not be so stressed. Anyway, this journey has come to an end, and the new time key is waiting to be restored.
Open it after the things in Star City are over.
Let’s get down to business today. I had a chat with the devil last night, which basically answered my last doubts. Emilia has arrived at St. Byrons Comprehensive College and will definitely be back within four days. So, before she comes back, let’s first
