Whispering Verse

Chapter 2705 Cutting off time and space

The witch thought that after asking this question, she would be met with a long hesitation or a change of topic, but she did not expect that the answer came quickly and decisively:

"No, he didn't tell me."

The red-haired girl immediately shook her head. This was a tacit understanding between the two of them, or she was waiting to see when Shade would be willing to take the initiative to say it, or passively let it slip.

"no"

The witch frowned again, and Daniste didn't want her to know the secret so easily, but she also didn't want to lie because of it, so she reminded again:

"He just didn't say whether he was, but I also feel that he is suspected."

"Right, right? Look at the moonlight he uses, and the more exaggerated power he shows each time."

The lady with ash-brown hair nodded and looked out the window at the city scenery in the snow:

"I feel like I'm still close to figuring out all his secrets. Danist, you have to help me. He is your student. Don't you want to know everything about him?"

The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl tried her best to hold back her laughter. She began to appreciate her current youthful vitality.

Shade on the other side can also guess that there must be speculation and discussion about his identity in the hotel, but that is something to talk about later. He is currently running in the forest with the help of thaumaturgy [Forest Path].

The reason why he didn't just throw the glass slipper home and then go to the elf girl's cabin from home was, of course, because he now carries a soul with him. He might be able to bring the soul back home through thaumaturgy, but Shade was unwilling to let the soul, stained with so much paradox, leave Vesta Glades.

Snowflakes were still flying over the entire Vista Woodland, and Shade didn't know what the consequences would be. And when he arrived near the elf's tree house, he found that Iluna was still here.

The group of blue and yellow chocobos were moving under the big tree in the Elf Tree House, and Iluna was trying to have a conversation with the smaller individuals in the group.

"Emilia, can't I really take one and raise it in the apartment? I swear I will send it back when it grows up."

"Of course not. This child can't leave the species yet, and aren't pets allowed in your apartment? Also, who is Emilia!"

The elf girl said angrily on the side. Iluna completely ignored her denial and stroked the petite and cute yellow chocobo with great regret. The latter also enjoyed her touch.

Then she noticed Shade's arrival, stood up, smiled and said to Shade:

"I have told Luvia and the others that you are fine. Luvia asked me to wait for you here and then go back to have dinner together."

In fact, there were reasons why she wanted to see these magical little creatures again. Iluna was originally worried about Emilia because she had to live alone in the forest, but now she knew that her friend was actually doing quite well, even There is no need to worry about taking exams and classes for the time being.

"Okay, but I still need to deal with some things before I go back. Iluna, you happen to be here, so let's help together. I have borrowed [Ocarina of Time], a tree hole that connected the edge of life and death in 1787. Let’s solve it now.”

He now carries two swords, but fortunately, although they are both angel-level relics, [Night Watch] and [Ocarina of Time] do not conflict in characteristics, but carrying two angel-level relics at the same time is still quite a risky move. .

The elf girl did not put the coffin in her tree house, but dug a hole under the tree and filled it on the spot, and called some tree people around to help take care of it——

"Yes, I didn't just move here. Of course I have come into contact with those hermits. They thought I was an elf and were kind enough to sell me a lot of things at a low price."

This wooden coffin remained unchanged from the last time Shade saw it in the morning. Since Shade planned to destroy it permanently, he had no intention of delaying it.

According to what the elf said, the Philosopher's Stone, the Sands of Time and the Long Sword were all ready. Shade asked the elf girl again:

"Look at the Philosopher's Stone in my hand. Do I need to consume it all?"

The blond elf took the red stone and weighed it in his hand:

"This is too much. I only need a third."

So Shade summoned the [Staff of Yggdrasil] and held it in his right hand, and held one-third of the Philosopher's Stone in his left hand. The life ring slowly appeared on his back, and as the [Time and Space] spirit runes bloomed, the Philosopher's Stone in his left hand seemed to be slowly absorbed by his body.

Correspondingly, the black staff with its bottom touching the ground is blooming with dazzling emerald green light:

"Thaumatology - the stability principle of the ancient elves!"

He pierced the long staff heavily into the soil on the ground, and then green light erupted from the top of the long staff. The emerald green light extended upwards and formed the phantom of a thick tree trunk together with the long staff itself, and then extended in all directions in the air to form a covering. The three people and the emerald green phantom crown of the coffin.

Green light spots continued to fall from the canopy. The nearby chocobos ran around excitedly trying to catch those light spots. Even Iluna stretched out her hand:

"The ultimate spellcasting of the Philosopher's Stone is indeed different from ordinary spellcasting. Is this the power to stabilize time?"

Emilia nodded firmly:

"This is the oldest elven secret technique, as old as Shade's Moonfire. Are you going to get the spiritual rune again?"

"Of course not, but I was worried that you would be driven back because of this magic."

"Why should I be driven back?"

While arguing, the two drove away the chocobos that surrounded them and asked them to stay away from here. After Shade released the [Staff of Yggdrasil], he poured the gray-white sand of time into his palm.

To be precise, [Sand of Time] is just a derivative of relics, but it is regarded as a keeper-level relic according to its characteristics. This special sand and dust that directly affects the flow of time in a range after being thrown out did not trigger the characteristics in Shade's hands. When Shade ignited the flame with the power of the first fire, the sand and dust began to melt slowly and crystallized.

The elf girl hurriedly picked up the [Ocarina of Time], and after confirming that the group of chocobos were looking at this place from behind the tree beside them instead of coming over, Iluna also stood next to the coffin to prevent accidents.

After five minutes, the [Sand of Time] was completely melted into molten crystals emitting a blazing light.

"Can this kind of relic be destroyed?"

Iluna asked curiously, and Emilia hurriedly shook her head:

"That's why we need special flames. The First Flame is a powerful thing. It can even burn the World Tree. Why are you looking at me like this? This is what the book at home says, but the World Tree was not burned by the First Flame. I just said it can be done, and it must be a complete First Flame."

Shad felt that if these crystals were cooled, this kind of relic would probably change differently, but now was not the time to experiment. After asking Emilia about the next request, he inserted the time key into the coffin with his empty hand——

"May the World Tree bless me in infinite time!"

But he just chanted the spell without turning the key. When the voice fell, the eight-ring life ring behind the elf girl beside him also appeared. The dark golden light immediately attracted Iluna's attention. She noticed the color, while Shad noticed the content of the spirit rune.

The core spirit runes of the forest elves are the more common three: enlightenment [immortality], enlightenment [innocence], and enlightenment [nature]. This is absolutely Emilia's core spiritual rune, and it is also the proof of her elven bloodline and "high elf" identity.

The elf girl certainly noticed that the other two were looking at her life ring, but she pretended not to see it, and instead chopped the key that pierced the coffin lid with a "Ya~" sound.

With a click, it seemed like something broke, but neither Shade's time key nor the coffin itself had cracks.

It was just that the mist diffused in the narrow space of time suddenly emerged from the space around the coffin. Without the elf's reminder, Shade pulled out the time key and poured the molten time sand in his hand into the keyhole.

The cracking sound of cracking lasted for a long time. At the same time, although the body could not feel the wind, and there was no sign of the snow being blown by the strong wind, a very terrifying whistling wind sounded from all directions of the forest.

The chocobos that were looking out from behind the tree quickly huddled together, with the large ones on the periphery and the small ones in the middle. This is one of the reasons why they have been able to exist since the Fifth Era.

But in fact, nothing happened. It was just that the mist that had just diffused re-entered the keyhole as if time was flowing backwards.

The elf girl breathed a sigh of relief and handed the sword in her hand to Shade:

"Give it the last blow."

"Do you have to destroy the lid of the coffin? I'm worried that this will affect the small space inside the coffin."

"At least destroy the keyhole."

"Understood."

He held the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed down. The tip of the sword pierced the keyhole, and after the clearest click, all the abnormalities just now disappeared.

[Ocarina of Time] pierced the lid of the coffin, and the long sword and the wood of the coffin itself began to glow together. The emerald green light representing trees and vitality echoed with the [Staff of Yggdrasil] that was still glowing next to it.

The emerald light gradually made the old coffin look brand new, and even allowed the three people to see clearly the entire ritual of the sealing ceremony left on it by the ancient thirteenth-level witch.

The green light finally condensed into a solid in front of Shade, turning into a green leaf that he caught. This was the first time Shade obtained the [Leaf of Youth] outside of the Time Key mission.

[Please note that this leaf can charge any "Twisted Tree Hole": enhance its stability; increase the chance of safe use once. ]
