Whispering Verse

Chapter 2605 Restrictive means

"Of course I'm surprised. Also, isn't it blasphemous for mortals to convert the old temple of the ancient gods into a concert hall? I haven't heard of any rumors that concertgoers were struck to death by lightning when they went out."

Shade, who was just stroking the cat that was drinking milk, suddenly stopped, and Miss Elf waved her hand to tell him not to be so excited:

"It's been so long since the tree father left. It's not considered sacrilegious for mortals to reuse the temple. They didn't transform it into a dirty place, but it's elegant to build a concert hall.

I investigated that during the renovation of the ruins half a century ago, workers discovered some antiques there, so they secretly hid them and sold them separately. Those arrows ended up in Ximu Town during this process, but I can't determine the exact total number of arrows. "

Shade already frowned:

"This is really unexpected. Apart from the arrows made from the branches of the World Tree, what else was discovered together?"

He asked again, but this time the elf just shook his head:

"I don't know. My investigation is very superficial. There are probably some stone slabs and the like. They are found in all ruins.

The arrow you found is the second one I got. I bought the first one at a local thrift store. The owner of the store regarded it as a handicraft and only charged me 13 pfennigs, but he also said I don’t know from whom I bought this arrow. "

"Are there any further clues for investigation?"

"Of course, if you want to continue the investigation in this area, you can try to find people who participated in the renovation of the ruins.

That was half a century ago. The workers did not leave their names. Although the church sent people to supervise the project, it was difficult to check the records. However, I investigated and found that a history professor at a school in Willondale was accused of I am interested in the shape of the temple, and sent people to investigate and record it during the construction period. Although it is estimated that everyone who worked there has passed away after half a century, you can still start investigating from this aspect. "

Shade nodded and wrote down the clues, planning to entrust Margaret to investigate in Willendale.

He lowered his head and thought about it and ate a few more bites of breakfast, and then suddenly asked:

"Speaking of which, when did you come to Vista Woodland? Has it been a long time? Have you always lived here alone?"

The expression in the elf girl's emerald green eyes became softer:

"I refuse to answer this question. Our relationship shouldn't be that good yet, right?"

Although she said such "cold" words, the two of them and the cat still enjoyed a pleasant breakfast time in front of the tree house in the forest. This was the first time for Shade to have such a unique breakfast, and because there was mosquito repellent aromatherapy, he didn't have to worry about mosquitoes. He found that he liked the environment here very much.

After breakfast, he took little Mia away and left. As for the magic potion that the elf promised to prepare, it could not be prepared immediately, so Shade could ask her every day when he came to bring her breakfast. Maybe it would happen suddenly. There will be a surprise.

We entered the city with many worries, and it was already half past nine in the morning when we arrived at the Accordion Hotel.

Of course, Miss Daniste and Miss Winslet had already had breakfast. When Shade entered Room 317, the two of them were looking at the "Paradox Bug" information:

"This is a letter from Emilia. Although it is a letter for you, you don't mind if I open it, right?"

The red-haired girl asked, and the chubby round-faced owl changed back to human form. She didn't like to maintain the owl form in front of Shade:

"Good morning, I entered the parliament again this morning. Your Excellency the Speaker has gone to Willendale to meet another witch, and now he is back to his original place. Look at this, this is what the Speaker sent to you this morning. , can help suppress the curse temporarily.”

Miss Bell handed the jewelry box on the coffee table to Shade. After opening it, there was an amber ring inside.

The ring looked like some kind of mithril alloy. The surface of the ring was made of silver alloy that held the piece of light yellow amber like claws. There was a very familiar black insect sealed inside the amber, but if you look closely, there was only the insect shell.

The ring is engraved with elven secret text:

[The ugly insect deserves to be imprisoned forever! 】

It is rare to see elegant ancient Elvish writing such tempered sentences.

"The Keeper-level relic [Insect Ring], this relic has been kept by the council, but no one knew what it was used for."

The witch said and stretched. This action was very unladylike, but she didn't seem to care at all:

"We only know that wearing this ring can seriously interfere with the operation of time-like forces. Whether it is rituals, thaumaturgy or even sublimation words, it can be interfered with, but the degree of interference is different. But because its negative characteristics are also very troublesome, so Only great witches throughout the ages would use it occasionally.”

"Time-interfering thaumaturgy?"

Shade raised his eyebrows in surprise and threw the ring to Miss Danister:

"Try it."

Among the three ladies present, only the red-haired girl knew about Shade's magic, so she readily agreed:

"This ring can suppress the time curse to a certain extent. Although I am still eighteen years old after wearing it, my level has reached the tenth ring. Although I cannot wear it all the time, it should be no problem in emergencies during battle."

After saying that, she put it on the middle finger of her right hand. Her appearance did not change much, but her aura suddenly became stronger.

“You’ll know after you try it.”

As he spoke, he took out Adele's lady's pocket watch and clasped it in his hand:

"Time stands still!"

A click sound came from the void, and the beautiful red-haired girl smiled at Shade:

"How is it, you really can't do it, right?"

"Wait, why does this magic look so familiar?"

Miss Winslet asked, and Shade hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"Adele taught me, I mean Miss Isabella."

The witch and the witch apprentice looked at him in surprise. Although they knew that there must be "something" between the two, they didn't expect that the future lord would even teach this magic.

The unyielding stranger planned to continue trying:

"Miss Danister, don't take off the ring yet, I haven't used my full strength just now!"

"Young people are always stubborn, I am younger than you now. Let's try again, come on."

She said with a smile, so this time Shade summoned the life ring completely, and the huge eight-ring life ring made the witch amazed;

"Although I saw it yesterday, it turned out to be eight rings. Isn't this size abnormal?"

And Shade has already concentrated on lighting up the core spirit rune [Time and Space]:

"Thaumaturge - Adele's Time Stillness!"

He put his index finger and middle finger together and pointed at the red-haired girl. With a clearer click sound coming from the void, the red-haired girl immediately solidified in time.

The stranger nodded with relief.

In fact, he suspected that the insect shell in this [Insect Ring] was also the corpse of the "Paradox Insect", otherwise it should not be able to interfere with the "Time Curse" if it was just a "Secret Keeper Level (Level 3)" relic.

But he couldn't destroy a relic of this level, and even if he could take out the insect shell, the strong whispering element would make it lose its medicinal value.

However, Shade told the two ladies that the paradox worms could slow down the effect of the curse by preparing potions.

Miss Winslet said to Miss Danister with envy:

"You not only have a good ancestor, but also a good student. Find a few more paradox worms, and even if you can't recover completely, you can gradually get closer to normal. I'm different. I can only see if other people's students are willing to help."

She glanced at Shade, and Miss Danister was a little worried:

"Will the elf be kind enough to prepare potions for me for free? This potion doesn't sound ordinary."

"She asked me to bring her breakfast every morning."

So Miss Danister didn't ask, but she looked a little angry.

In addition to the [Insect Ring], in order to prevent the "cabinet" and "door" from having unexpected situations again, Miss Danister and Miss Isabella each prepared a relic to isolate the influence of the two tree holes.

Among them, the one sent from Saint Byrons was the Secret Keeper-level relic [Distant Puente Alley]. The relic itself was a road sign with "Puente Alley" written on it, and its function was to lengthen the length of the space where the relic was placed.

In other words, the distance that seemed to be only one or two steps away had actually become the length of the entire alley under the effect of the relic. This was quite effective for the characteristic of the "Twisted Tree Hole" that could only be used for a certain distance, so there was no need to worry about Miss Danister being sucked in again.

When Shade checked the road sign, he saw a line of small words on the back of the road sign that seemed to be carved by fingernails:

[After the divorce, you chased after all the family property, making this alley extremely long].

It seems that there is an extremely sad story behind this relic.

The relic supported by the Witch Council was the Secret Keeper-level relic [The Only Lock]. The relic itself was a brass lock and a matching key. The lock could only be used in scenes that matched the appearance of the lock, such as "doors" and "windows".

Once the lock is locked, in addition to using the matching key, only a few methods such as the relic [Master Key] can open it. Considering that the cabinet door below will open automatically every time it is activated, this lock is suitable for cabinets.

Similarly, there is a line of small words on the lock that are not easy to detect, like leaf patterns:

[The lock is absolutely reliable, but the hateful thief will directly move the whole box! ]

It seems that this is also a sad story.

After talking to the two ladies about the reaction of the local church, Xia De proposed what to do today:

"Since it has been confirmed that James Cumming is using the book to contact Erica Cumming in the past, let's solve this matter today. Of course, if we encounter the paradox worm again, it shouldn't make such a big noise this time."
