Chapter 2651 Magic-Forest Trail

The information on the "ancient ruins" and "dangerous areas" marked on the map is not very detailed. If Shade wants to know the details, he needs to explore it himself. He also found the forest where the elf girl lived temporarily on the map. Of course, the hermits also found the peculiarity there and marked it as "extremely dangerous and difficult to enter".

Also because this map depicts the terrain in detail, but lacks key information, the price is not expensive.

And Mr. Meloni and Mr. Davis also admitted that the secrets known by the hermit group are not only those marked on the map. They will not show all the information just to keep the seal of the paradox worm in this forest. But if Shade really encounters trouble and needs help, he can come here at any time to ask them for specific information.

After all, no one knows what measures are used to seal the "paradox worm", so some information is safer to hide.

In addition to the map, the [Forest Hermit Group] has also found stone slabs or antiques left in many ancient ruins during their exploration of the forest over the years.

They never destroyed any ruins, but for those ruins that were severely damaged, they did not mind removing the slabs and antiquities. Therefore, at the bottom of the hermits' "receipt list", there were a lot of sundries that they themselves did not know the origin of.

Shad was very interested in this. He left Miss Danister to continue talking to Mr. Davis, and followed Mr. Meloni to the underground warehouse next to him.

When Shad came back soon, he had an antique silver-plated vase with obvious elf style, a notebook that recorded local demon legends, a parchment that copied the prayers of the believers of the old god [Forgotten Old Man], and a very beautiful sterling silver jewelry box inlaid with rubies.

In the end, Shad's shopping this time included 1 time stabilization anchor, 30 acorns, magic-forest trails, magic-colorful magic berries (for Dorothy), magic-acorn blessing (for Luvia), woodland maps and sundries × 4. In addition, there are some local unique potion materials and souvenirs, which he plans to take back to give to his friends.

The "Time Stabilization Anchor" was exchanged with [Noble Blood Red], and all other transactions were paid in cash. The spell chosen by Miss Danister was relatively cheap, so Shade took the initiative to pay for her.

In addition to asking about paradox worms, time travel rules and shopping that afternoon, the two also talked more with the hermits and agreed to fight against the [Tree Hole Association] together.

It is currently known that the [Tree Hole Association] has at least one tree hole, and the dragon beast from the past came out of that tree hole. The hermits will help find the records of the local dragon beast in history to locate the time point of the dragon beast.

If the information can indicate the time of its death, then there may be a chance to permanently solve it.

"You want to travel through time and kill the dragon in the past? But this does not affect the [Tree Hole Association] from using it before the dragon dies."

Mr. Davis reminded, and Shade was of course aware of this:

"So the best result is that we cannot determine the time of death of the dragon. In this way, we can go to the [Tree Hole Association] to find its age and kill it. Of course, if we can grab the tree hole, maybe we don't even have to deal with the dragon."

"Mr. Watson, do you want to create history?"

"No, no, history has already happened. The fate of the dragon in the past has been determined at the time of our conversation. I will not create history, I just want to complete history."

"This is a very dangerous idea, especially if you plan to travel through time."

He saw that Shade bought a second "time stability anchor" and thought that Shade actually had a time curse.

Shade smiled:

"Of course it is dangerous, but compared to the [Tree Hole Association] using monsters from the past, our behavior actually maintains the stability of time."

The hermits had nothing to say about this, but at least they did not speak up to stop Shade's plan.

Although the [Hermitage in the Forest] is mysterious, they are not a completely hidden organization like the [Guiding Light Hermitage]. After the Pantanal War, Old John said in person that the Hermitage assisted the [Church of Nature] to deal with the polluted swamps after the death of the evil creatures in Pantanal, so Shad was not sure whether the Hermitage would really stop cooperating with the church again in the future.

When he and Miss Danister left the forest where the hermits were stationed at four o'clock in the afternoon, he expressed his concerns to the red-haired girl.

Miss Danister reassured Shad:

"Principal Professor Pigman will contact the church soon to inquire about the situation in Vista City, and then say that the college has detected abnormal time fluctuations in the local area. If the Hermitage takes the initiative to contact the church, the college will also find a way to figure it out."

The two were outside the village of Little Mig at this time. Mr. Van Buren led them through the tree hole and left. Although the rain had stopped, the way back was still a long way, and trekking through the forest after the rain was not an interesting journey, so the red-haired girl suggested:

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

"Do you want to learn the new magic you bought now? The ritual materials are all there, and the venue is also suitable. I will help you."

The ritual materials required for the magic-[Forest Trail] are very simple, and the ritual content is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very interesting.

This required Shade to find a big tree that was wider than his waist. After arranging the ritual matrix around the big tree, he used leaves to hide the traces of the ritual as much as possible. Then the ritual was activated, and Shade quickly ran clockwise around the big tree. After running 99 laps, he leaned against a big tree and rushed forward while the world was spinning.

The leaves on the ground in front had been cleared by the red-haired girl, and a path was formed between the piled leaves. Shade, who was spinning in the world, walked crookedly along the path, and jumped suddenly at the end of the path——

Bang!

He bumped his head against the tree he had just started from, groaned "Oh~", then covered his head and held on to the tree to prevent himself from falling. With his physical condition, he would not be easily dizzy. It was the power of the ritual that made him dizzy and unable to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

"I think it's successful."

Shade said, feeling dizzy, and then couldn't help but retching. The red-haired girl on the side covered her mouth and walked toward him with squinted eyes. She patted his back gently and remembered something, which made her smile even happier.

To successfully learn thaumaturgy, you need to give it a try, and the casting materials needed to perform thaumaturgy are leaves in the forest, so it will be more troublesome to perform thaumaturgy in the depth of winter.

Shade held Miss Danister's hand. As the leaves were thrown out by him, something seemed to change in the forest in front of him. But no matter how Xia De recalled it, the scene in front of him was no different from before:

"The spell was cast successfully, but"

"As long as we move forward, don't we know whether we are successful? Grab my hand and don't let go."

She moved forward with Shade in a good mood. Shade looked around, but still didn't find any difference between the surroundings and just now. But the spirit is being steadily consumed, and the thaumaturgic effect is indeed continuing.

The woodland after rain is very different from that on sunny days. The damp smell has a special smell of humus. But as evening approached, the entire land was dyed golden, and it was still beautiful from a certain angle.

"There must be a reason why you buy those sundries, right?"

She took Shade's hand and asked, and Shade nodded:

"The antique silver-plated vase with an elven style is very similar to the pattern of the lantern I found where I found the holy emblem. Since you said that the Nightsong elves lived nearby, maybe it has something to do with them.

Oh, speaking of which, can you help me contact the Night Song Elf in the academy? I want to ask them if they know about the terrifying black mist-like monster that exists in this forest. "

Seeing the red-haired girl nodding, Shade continued:

"That notebook is what I read to kill time. Last time we went to the Bennet family cemetery, didn't we talk about the demon that was sealed a hundred years ago? I want to know more information. As for the roll of parchment, Coincidentally, I know a friend who believes in the Old God [Old Forgotten], and she would love this.

But I really didn't expect that there were traces of the old god here in the Vista Grove. "

"That friend is a beautiful girl, right?"

She asked with a smile, and Shade did not deny:

"As for the sterling silver jewelry box, it is an antique in the style of the Fifth Era. The hermits found no clues, but I felt a faint element in it. Let's check it out with Miss Winslet after we go back. "

In the end, Shade and Miss Danister used the magic "forest path" to shorten the distance by about half and returned to the city.

The urban air in Vista City looks particularly fresh in the evening after the autumn rain. Although it is a small city, thanks to the good urban greening and infrastructure construction, there are not many muddy areas on the ground even after the rain.

The two of them talked about this thaumaturgy when they met Miss Winslet in the hotel. The young lady standing in front of the window with the dim sunset behind her asked suspiciously:

"You came back holding hands. There shouldn't be anything major happening this afternoon that requires Shade to use the Mystery Lock, right?"

"Of course not. We are just going to see the [Forest Hermits], and of course we will not fight with them. Flora, don't pay too much attention to Shade's mysterious lock. Maybe when you really see it, you will feel that there is nothing you think about." So interesting."

The red-haired girl smiled, and then suddenly realized that at some point, Flora Winslet also started to call Shade by his first name instead of his last name.

"You and Charlotte have both met before you can say this. Shade, come on, I have obtained the materials from the parliament and prepared the semi-finished product according to the ancient potion formula you gave. Now I need you The flame comes to give me warmth.”
