Chapter 2647: Visiting the Hermit Again

The one who went out with him that day was Miss Danister. This was not because Miss Owl was worried that the rain would wet her feathers, but because Miss Danister accompanied her last time she met the hermits, and the red-haired girl was still thinking that there might be more news about her teacher in the hermit group.

So the witch stayed to prepare the potion-warmth ingredients. This potion was not complicated to make, and it would probably be completed to the last step tonight.

And of course, Mia would not be taken out by Shade, so Miss Winslet would still take care of it temporarily. It seemed that the cat liked Miss Owl very much, which was different from her love for Tifa. Shade felt that Mia might regard the Great Witch of Death as her own kind.

Of course, in order not to hurt Miss Owl's self-esteem, Shade did not express his thoughts.

After saying goodbye to the ladies in the hotel, Shade and Miss Danister took a carriage out of the city, and then walked to the village of Mige in the forest.

Because it was drizzling, both of them held umbrellas. When the carriage was in the city, Shade talked to her about the future plans. When they walked into the woods together, Shade asked about the elves.

"Night Song Elves? Yes, there is indeed this elf clan in the college. There are many such students in the School of Library Management, but what do you want to do with them?"

Most elves maintain the tradition of matriarchal clans, so Miss Danister also uses female pronouns.

"I want to know something about the Fifth Age."

"I see. It's your time adventure again, right? I guess the potion formula you gave Flora is also the result of your adventure."

The red-haired girl asked with a smile:

"But the clans of the Night Song Elves are now widely distributed, and the branch of the academy doesn't know everything. What do you want to ask specifically?"

"Did the Night Song Elves live together in the Fifth Age? If not, where in the Old World did they live? Oh, I just need to know the result before next Monday."

Miss Danister walked side by side with him on the path in the forest with an umbrella:

"This question is very simple. You know I also have elf blood. Although I didn't have much contact with my relatives before, I also studied elf history. In the Fifth Age, elves of the same clan lived together. Even if they lived separately, they were scattered in a certain area, like the relationship between towns and villages.

The Night Song Elves are a relatively independent elf clan in the academy, but their history is very clear. The Fifth Age At that time, weren't those elves living in this forest under our feet? "

Shad found that he was not as surprised as he thought:

"Vestal Woodland?"

"Yes, at that time, the town of Creekwood did not exist, and the area of ​​the forest was much larger than it is now. This ancient forest is not only home to the Night Song Elves, but also many strange or secret alien communities.

At the same time, because this forest was so ancient and dense at that time, many ancient relics are still preserved today. Didn't you take courses in the School of Political Science and Economics? If you have time, you can actually choose one or two courses to learn. Anyway, you don't care about tuition now. "

She teased, and Shad slightly raised his umbrella so that he could look at the gloomy woodland in the rain:

"The black fog with the power of the Angel of Death attacked Miss McConaughey in this area that year. So now, is it still here? "

When Shad and Miss Danister arrived at the village of Mig, the rain had turned from drizzle to heavy rain. Although they all carried umbrellas and wore waterproof boots, they still stepped on the puddles to shield each other and broke into the village tavern.

The red-haired girl seemed to think this was very interesting. When Shade handed the token of meeting the hermits to the tavern owner in front of the wine-stained counter, she stood alone under the rain shelter at the door of the tavern, with her hands behind her back, smiling and looking up at the raindrops falling in a string under the gray sky.

Shade felt that this scene was more worthy of being recorded as an oil painting than throwing the moonlight ring.

Shade's entire left shoulder was soaked because he had to help Miss Danister block the rain blowing from the side. But he didn't want to use magic in the village, so he simply wiped his hair with a towel and didn't care about the clothes.

Miss Danister didn't use a new towel, but took the towel Shade used to wipe her hair and side face, and then went to help Shade wipe the left arm intimately, but it didn't have much effect to wipe wet clothes with a wet towel.

Monday morning was a busy farming season. Although it was raining, few villagers would go to the tavern to rest. Because there were few customers, the tavern owner asked for Shade's coat and put it on the fireplace with a stick to help dry it.

So Shade could only sit near the fireplace in a white shirt, and the red-haired girl sat next to him.

After waiting for more than half an hour, when the only customer besides the two of them left the tavern, the hermit Mr. Bell Van Buren whom Shade had met last time finally opened the door of the tavern.

He put his black umbrella upright at the door and walked towards the two of them. Shade put down the map in his hand. He just confirmed that when he used "Strong Spatial Perception" and "Eternal Fire Seal" at the same time while holding the map, Mia's position was directly displayed on the map in his eyes.

??????55.??????

While he was talking about this thaumaturgy with the red-haired girl, the hermit came in, so after the hermit sat opposite, he handed over Old John's letter:

"This is our mutual friend."

Mr. Van Buren wiped his hands before opening the letter. He read the letter carefully, then raised his head and asked Shade:

"Mr. Watson, what do you want from us?"

"Remember my question last time? About the tree hole."

He smiled:

"It has been a week since the last time we met. I happened to find a tree hole that can be used to travel through time in the city, so I want to ask you hermits for advice on related issues."

The man in his forties looked up at him:

"Did you use it?"

"No, I'm a cautious person. Besides, I can't think of anything I need to do there."

Shade said, so the hermit who had just sat down stood up again:

"You two, please wait for me for a moment. I will be back soon."

So Shade and Miss Denister continued to talk about the thaumaturgy, and then even had lunch together. It was not until the tavernkeeper had even cleared the tables, and Shade had put on his dry coat again, that Mr. Van Buren came over with an old hermit of eleven rings.

This was not the hermit they had seen last time. After the two sat down, Mr. Van Buren introduced him:

"This is Mr. Meloni, the secret keeper of the Hermits' generation. It would be better for him to handle the matter of time travel. I'm sorry that I didn't know anything last time. That's the necessary caution."

Mr. Meloni, who looked as old as Father Augustus, held in his hand the letter from old John:

"If I hadn't received his letter some time ago, I really couldn't believe that the [Light Guide Hermitage], which is more conservative than us, would actually cooperate with outsiders."

The letter stated that John Watson was not a member of the Priory.

"I just happen to know a few gentlemen from the Priory."

Shade folded his hands and put them on the table:

"I won't say any more pleasantries. Mr. Meloni and Mr. Van Buren. Since I found you with a letter for the second time, you can probably guess that I already know a lot of things."

He looked at the two of them in turn:

"[The Hermits in the Forest] have been helping ordinary people who traveled through time due to 'tree hole accidents' since the Sixth Era, and guiding them not to abuse the power of tree holes. By coincidence, I was looking for a tree hole in the city While there, I met an old man you helped in the 1800s.

Don't worry, I didn't make things difficult for him. He voluntarily handed the tree hole to me. He said that time has closed the loop. "

Mr. Van Buren said nothing, while Mr. Meloni sighed:

"No one has given us such a responsibility. This is just to maintain the peace of this forest. You said it yourself. We usually don't help ring warlocks. Past lessons show that this will cause big trouble."

Mr. Prada Ogg, the leader of the Hermitage in the Snow in 1802, also said the same thing. He trusted Shade because he had elf blood and could recognize the power of the wreath. Of course, this also coincided with the amazing uniqueness of the "animal companion". Related to the transformation of horned beasts.

But this trick obviously cannot be used at this time.

"Isn't it possible to rely on this letter?"

"Of course we won't doubt someone who Old John recognizes. What do you want to know?"

But it seems that instead of wreaths and unicorns, Father John's face and the holy symbol returned by Shade are equally effective.

"I want to know some basic knowledge about time travel. Of course, before that, please allow me to ask a question: The old man who was once helped by you said that using tree holes for time travel will lead to being cursed, so this kind of Is the curse really unbreakable?”

Shade believed that the two hermits must have guessed something through this question, but at least they did not show it.

"It cannot be broken, but there are ways to slow down the power of the curse. The elves have an ancient potion, but we don't know the recipe; there are a few relics that can suppress the power of the curse. We can make a list for you if you need it, and"

The hermit paused, but this was not to create any drama:

"The reason why time travelers are cursed is that time travelers destroy the stability of time. Some people are simply involved in accidents, but more people really have regrets in their hearts. Mr. Watson, are you sure that you Friends who want to undo the curse will never use the power of the tree hole again in the future?"

Under the table, the red-haired girl had already grabbed Shade's hand. She didn't let Shade speak and said herself:

“He wants to break the curse for me, you don’t need to test this.

If I could really see my elder in the past, even if the man next to me stopped me, I would definitely use the tree hole again! "
