Whispering Verse

Chapter 2648 Time Anchor

"I'm still sitting here."

Shade emphasized, and Daniste Gustave frowned slightly:

"I promised you last time, but that was only last time. I won't lie to you, but I haven't given up on this plan yet."

Of course Shade knew that she would not give up easily, but he was still a little surprised when she said it like this.

The two hermits said nothing:

"We have two other ways to suppress the curse: the hermits can create a special alchemical item; there is an ancient church in this woodland, and you can also confess in it."

The rain pattered outside the tavern. Although they told two methods, the hermits did not continue to describe the details in detail. Just as they said, they did not trust any ring wizard who had traveled through time, and they did not think that people could give up their intention to continue using tree holes.

"Then how about I exchange intelligence for your information?"

Shade then suggested and said directly when the two hermits exchanged glances:

"The churches in the city already know about the tree hole. Not the natural church, they have known about it for a long time. I mean all the churches in the city."

The elderly Mr. Meloni and Mr. Van Buren were both startled:

"Sorry, what?"

"Someone reported the tree hole incident to the church."

Shade pointed his finger at himself:

"By the way, that person is me. I know you have been keeping this secret all along, and you are also worried that the ring warlocks within the church cannot resist the temptation, or that the Zhengshen Church itself is trying to use those tree holes, but the situation is different now."

The old hermit in a brown robe across the table reached out and covered his chest:

"Did you tell the church? You knew this would happen."

"The eighth chapter of "The Whispering Psalms" takes place in the city of Vista. The chosen one of time will be born in this ancient woodland. Now the outsiders [Tree Hole Association] come carrying secrets. The ancient Evil creatures have long been lurking in this forest town because of the actions of mortals.

Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Meloni, and the Hermits were certainly right to keep this secret. But things are different now, aren't they? From Tobesk last year to Yuewan this summer, these things have proved that the Five Gods Church is indeed the basis for maintaining the order of the material world. "

The faces of the two people across the table became even more ugly:

"Mr. Watson, are you sure that the chosen one will appear here at this time?"

"Of course, I don't know if you have noticed, but this woodland has the most 'tree holes' in the entire physical world. And in recent decades, haven't there been too many tree holes?"

"Some people have indeed mentioned similar conjectures. We have also talked about whether the chosen ones of time will appear here, but after all, we cannot confirm the specifics."

Mr. Meloni hesitated and stood up:

"Hold on."

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and folded it into the shape of a "paper crane" as he walked toward the window. After opening the window and blowing lightly, the handkerchief flew directly into the rain.

It flew back within ten minutes. The old man carefully checked the words on the handkerchief, and then asked Xiang Shade and Miss Danister:

"You two, would you mind visiting our station in the forest in the rain?"

Shade and Miss Denister then both stood up:

"Of course I don't mind."

A group of four people held umbrellas and bid farewell to the deserted village tavern. Shortly after leaving Xiaomige Village from the southeast of the village, the hermits took the two of them through the hidden tree hole in the forest, and then came with them to the ten-meter-high mountain in the northeast. Miles away in real jungle.

Because of the distance, although the sky above this woodland was gloomy, it didn't rain. This fully demonstrated that it was far away from the city.

This area is virgin forest land that has not yet been developed in Vista Woodland, and there are no roads even leading to it. After leaving the tree hole that had jumped into space, the four of them walked for another 20 minutes when a large group of deer actually walked towards the four of them.

"She" pointed out the shapeshifters among them with a smile, and those deer were obviously the hermit group's outer guard, so they just walked past the four of them.

After passing the deer herd, we encountered two more bears, but this time they were real wild animals. Not long after they continued walking, Mr. Meloni took the initiative to stop and showed the token to prevent triggering the warning ceremony in the forest. Only then did he bring Shade and Miss Danister to the station of the Hermits in the Forest. .

Shade originally thought that based on the character of the hermits, the camp would be a few ordinary wooden houses similar to the logging camps in the forest. But when the illusion was dispelled, what was revealed was a large camp that could accommodate a hundred people built around an ancient temple standing in the forest.

And there are not only buildings made of stone and wood on the ground, but there are also multi-story tree houses in the surrounding trees. Of course, these tree houses are not as exquisite as the tree house of the elf girl in the forest.

The temple leaned against the huge oak tree behind it. The temple was also made of wood, and its structure seemed to have been integrated with the oak tree.

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

The camp seemed very lively, with most people harvesting wheat in the fields outside the camp, and a few people tending to the campfires or engaging in other handicraft activities. You can see people moving around in simple ground buildings and treehouses in the trees. The lives of these hermits are very simple.

Although it is far from civilized society, this small settlement also has its own living environment. The living conditions here are definitely not good, but judging from the atmosphere, people who really pursue a peaceful life will definitely like it here.

"That's the temple of our Lord."

Merloni pointed to the temple under the big tree and introduced it softly, then led Shade and Miss Danister to the largest bonfire in the center of the camp and sat down with them.

At this time, the strongest twelve-ring warlock in this camp, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, was already waiting for them by the fire.

He was just taking care of the pot on the fire, and a few pine cones were roasting in the pot.

"Steve Davis, I am the current elder of the hermit group."

The twelve-ring warlock wore the same brown robe as the other hermits, and shook hands with Shade while introducing himself. Like Dr. Schneider, Mr. Davis also has blue eyes, but the color of his eyes is much lighter than that of the doctor:

"I have been informed of the matter of the Chosen One in the letter sent by Meloni. It is this lady who is cursed by time, right?"

He handed her the wooden box placed aside:

"Here, use this to temporarily suppress the curse of time. You don't need to wear it on your finger, you can also use it as a pendant."

After the box was opened, a wooden ring was placed inside. The ring is made of oak, and the miracle element represents that this is a divine item.

The surface of the wooden ring has clear wood grain, engraved with ancient elven runes and prayers to the old god [White Holy Tree] that Shade has never seen, and the inside of the ring has a series of dense ritual patterns.

In terms of the content of miracle elements alone, this ring is not inferior to the holy emblem that Shade returned, but the holy emblem is definitely more meaningful to the hermits.

"We call this kind of divine item 'Time Stabilization Anchor'. Wearing it can not only suppress one's own curse to a certain extent, but also improve one's own time resistance. However, its effect on suppressing curses is most obvious for ordinary people, and it can only play a little role for powerful ring magicians.

It is like an anchor, which makes the wearer more stable in the time. If the wearer is very 'heavy' and sways because of the curse, then the effect of the anchor will definitely be worse."

Mr. Davis looked respectfully at the temple on the side of the crowd:

"Making such a divine item not only requires our unique technology, but also requires it to be enshrined in the temple of our Lord for at least ten years. Although many things in the hermit group have been lost outside, the 'Time Stabilization Anchor' has never been obtained by people outside the group."

"It looks powerful."

The red-haired girl took the ring and looked at it, but she had no intention of wearing it here.

Shade sat up straight beside the fire:

"Thank you for your help. So, Mr. Davis, did the Hermits believe the news I brought up about the Chosen Ones?"

The middle-aged man of the twelfth ring sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at him:

"In fact, since the summer event of the God's Descent in Tobesk, the steam capital of the Northern Kingdom, confirmed that the 'Whispering Poems' were not just a legend last year, I have guessed that the Chosen Ones of Time would appear in this woodland.

But last year I originally thought that even if my guess was correct, it would take at least five or six years for the Vesta Woodland to be in its turn. I didn't expect that with the help of the God Summoner, the Chosen Ones would appear so quickly."

From the shining day of the Silver Moon in midsummer last year to the end of this year's Harvest Moon, more than a year has passed and it has reached the eighth place.

"Mr. Watson, I don't know which side you and this lady represent, but since Old John recognizes you, I am willing to believe you. We rarely let outsiders enter our camp, and now we bring you here because of this trust.

But regardless of whether our common friend [Guiding Light Hermitage] wants to interfere in the affairs of the Chosen, we hermits do not intend to get involved in the epic of the Sixth Era. Of course, we are willing to help you, but we will not take the initiative to do anything, let alone take the initiative to join the Orthodox Church."

Shad also understood his caution. These neutral ring magician groups have their own ideas:

"It's good that you are willing to help. When I mentioned you to Father John, he complained that you actually hid such a secret."

Mr. Davis shook his head:

"For the secret of time travel, no matter how cautious you are, it is not too much. Those who hope to preserve the fire of civilization as much as possible for the doomsday era are not without regrets in the past.

Okay, Mr. Watson, you come and ask, what do you want to know from us?"
