Chapter 2649 The Secret of Vista Grove

Shade grabbed the hand of the red-haired girl beside him:

"Is it true that you can't completely remove the time curse?"

But the answer I got this time was the opposite of what I got in the tavern:

"There is a way. You now know that there are four ways to suppress the curse: the elf's secret medicine, the relic, the time anchor we made, and repenting in the temple of my lord. Only one of the last two effects can be exerted.

And if she is willing to believe in our Lord and perform twenty years of penance in the temple, the curse can be completely removed. "

This is the second method to completely eliminate the curse besides "a first flame plus the help of the chosen one" proposed by Sister Devlin, but in comparison, Shade feels that the nun's method is still reliable.

"I'm not going to stay as an ascetic."

As expected, Miss Danister shook her head and moved closer to Shade to express her attitude. Mr. Davis had already guessed that she would say this, but Shade also guessed from the method he proposed that there must be someone in the hermit group who has been cursed by time:

"Mr. Davis, thank you for providing this information anyway, so do you know about the Paradox Bug?"

Mr. Davis nodded and waved the other hermits beside the fire, except Mr. Meloni, to leave first:

"I know. Paradox bugs don't appear just because they use tree holes. After using tree holes, a time paradox event is formed, which leads to the birth of this kind of bug.

We don’t know much about this ancient evil that is rumored to be of the same era as the World Tree. We only know that the more powerful the soul, the more powerful the Paradox Worm is. This is why we prefer to help ordinary people. "

After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"The Paradox Bug that appeared in the city last week obviously appeared because of a high-level warlock."

"Miss Owl" is of course Gao Huan, but the bug that the Cumming family was born from is much weaker.

"But that's unreasonable, isn't it?"

Miss Danister on the side then spoke:

“According to our investigation, there are definitely quite a few time travelers who have appeared in this woodland since the Sixth Era.

Could it be that everyone here strictly abides by the requirements without causing a paradox? Since the Sixth Age, more than one Paradox Bug has definitely been born in the Vesta Grove. You have tried your best to avoid contact with those bugs, so did those bugs really leave on their own? "

This is also Sha De's doubt.

Mr. Davis sighed softly:

"They can't live without it. The Vista Woodland itself has power, which you should all feel. This forest will restrict those evil creatures so that they cannot leave this area.

Those weak paradox bugs born from the souls of ordinary people will eventually be captured and suppressed by the power of the forest, and we will provide the necessary help; and for powerful paradox bugs like last week, if no one takes action to defeat them, then they Will be sealed in the forest by some mysterious beings. "

"Guardian of Time?"

Xia De asked suddenly, and Mr. Davis looked at him in surprise:

"Yes, you know them too? I thought that the legend of the Time Guardian had completely disappeared in the material world."

"I know, I even know one of them."

This refers to Envy Edwards.

The sorceress beside him poked him quietly, obviously curious about what Shade was talking about, while Mr. Davis nodded and continued:

"Weak Paradox Bugs are sealed by the forest, while powerful Paradox Bugs are sealed under the forest by those mysterious beings. This also leads to the fact that the Vista Woodland actually seals a terrifying number of bugs. This area As a result, time becomes more unstable, and more and more tree holes are created.

We also know that this is not something that can last. Sooner or later, the forest will no longer be able to control the power of those bugs, and then the entire area will probably disappear in the torrent of distorted time. "

"There's nothing you can do about it?"

"It's not just us, everyone is powerless to do anything about it. I've heard about Fort Midhill. The narrow space between life and death has existed for so many years. Even ordinary people in the area have heard the legend, but the Church of the Five Gods has a way to completely Solve that unknowable relic?"

He didn't leave Shade a chance to answer, but shook his head to himself:

"The situation in Vista Woodland is similar now, but no one knows how powerful the 'bomb' buried here is. All we have been doing is to minimize the emergence of Paradox Bugs in order to delay the final explosion of the bomb. Not telling the church about the time was also a reason to prevent the birth of a powerful paradox insect.

Fortunately, there is still a chance. If the story of the Time Chosen One will appear here, maybe this problem will also have a chance to be solved. "

Shade had nothing to say about this:

"I have figured out a lot about the rules of time travel now. So do you have any way to deal with those tree holes? As long as those tree holes exist, they may send people away or bring them back at any time."

??????????.??????

Mr. Davis immediately corrected:

"Actually, those tree holes do not need to be processed. The temporal stability of the material world is relatively strong. The tree holes are very chaotic at the beginning, but gradually the number of connected time points will decrease until they become stable and only connect a single time. Eventually its connectivity time feature will disappear completely.

This process may last for hundreds of years, but at least compared to the unkillable Paradox Insect, the tree hole will disappear on its own. "

"So is there a way to safely contain those tree holes before they disappear naturally?"

"Yes, but if you want to do this, remember to confirm in advance that the 'mission' of those tree holes has been completed. Containing the tree holes is actually simpler than you think. Any temple of the old god related to the 'Tree of Time' , those tree holes cannot take effect.

The most indispensable thing in this woodland, apart from insects, is the ancient temple. "

"An old god associated with time and trees?"

Shade looked at the temple beside him. Mr. Davis immediately shook his head:

"No, no, don't think about putting it here. We never take the initiative to touch tree holes. Also, remember not to take those tree holes away from the Vista Woodland. Although this area itself is unstable in time, it is also because of the existence of the forest. As a result, tree holes will be restricted in this area.

If you take them away from the Vista Glades, they become very active. "

"So will such tree holes also be born in the material world outside the forest?"

The red-haired girl asked again, and this time it was the "Secret Keeper" Mr. Meloni who gave the answer:

"Yes, but much less than here. I have records here since the 204th year of the Sixth Era. From then to the present, 1,600 years ago, we have only discovered five On average, one tree hole will appear every three hundred years. Those tree holes have been brought back and processed by us. The tree holes are very active in the outside world.

The Hermits suffered huge losses in those three incidents, but at least it was worth it. [Guiding Light Hermitage] has also helped a lot, but they don’t know what we are doing specifically. "

"Besides you, are there any other ring warlocks in the material world who are maintaining the stability of time?"

Shade asked next, and this time the answer was affirmative:

"Yes, although the old gods have left, there are still devout believers walking in the material world. But they are all loners or small groups. Compared with them, the Hermits are already a very large organization. But we are absolutely Not the biggest time-protecting organization of our time.”

"Oh, who else?"

Xia De asked curiously, so the middle-aged man said cautiously:

"Elves. The elves who believe in the Tree Father have never forgotten their mission. Whenever things are irreversible, the elves will always appear. The old members of the Yuexi Clan, the Wind Chaser Clan, the Flower Whisperer Clan, and the Jinrui Clan The followers of God are the first line of defense, then the ancient elves, and finally the mysterious guardians of time.”

Shade looked at the red-haired girl beside him. She shook her head slightly to show that she had no idea. Although the Moon Creek Clan is now part of St. Byrons, it is obvious that the academy will not prohibit the elves from entering and exiting the academy at will, so if it is true that they will go out to do big things every few hundred years, it is not a big deal that the academy does not know about it. Difficult things to understand.

"It's better not to know some things. Once you know them, you find out. It turns out that everyone has secrets."

Shade sighed softly, but in order to take care of the other party's emotions, he did not ask questions such as "Can the tree hole be recharged after being used?" And judging from the current situation, it seems that except for himself, no one else can normally open those tree holes through the time key.

The four of them then chatted a lot, and Shade also learned from the hermits about the time travel guide they would give to ordinary people who are "time travellers". Its general meaning is "Don't travel through time. Even if you travel through time, try not to come into contact with it." anyone".

Shade also talked to them about Father Francois who was reported by him, and the big action of the church in the city last night. When they talked about how Father François got the "acorn" from the relics of the deceased cyclist of the Church of Nature, and used the "lucky potion of the oak tree" to detect the time traveler, the two hermits looked at each other. .

Mr. Davis said rather embarrassedly:

"Actually, not only were we made the 'Oak Lucky Potion', but the acorns you mentioned should also have flowed from our hands."

Neither Shade nor Miss Danister were surprised. They had discussed this possibility, and "Acorn" really fit the style of the Hermits in the Forest.

"It can't be these, right?"

Shade pointed to the acorns being roasted in the bonfire beside everyone. Mr. Davis immediately shook his head:

"No, no, of course not, this is for eating. That kind of acorn is also a specialty of our order - the beacon acorn. In fact, its function is not to detect foreign time travellers, but to determine a certain range. "
