Chapter 2817 The giant wooden chair and the unhappy sorceress

The trunk of the giant tree can be regarded as a building as thick as a building. The tree crown not only covers the top of the open space, allowing the sparse starlight and moonlight to leave mottled traces on the open space, but also extends into the forest area.

If it weren't for the fact that this place couldn't be seen from the air, Shade felt that he could easily detect it even from dozens of miles away.

Directly in front of the tree trunk stood an extremely huge wooden chair. The bottom of the seat looks like a tree stump, and the backrest looks like a thin layer of curved bark. Two vertical lines of ancient characters are written on the surface of the back of the chair facing the seat itself.

This was also the first time that Shade saw vertically written words in this world, but when he tried to identify the content above, he felt that the words were blurry and could not be seen at all:

"strangeness."

That huge wooden seat is probably most suitable for a fifty-meter-tall giant to sit on. With this huge seat as the center, there are four other wooden seats distributed in a fan shape along the edge of the open space under the tree, located on both sides of the huge central seat.

The four wooden chairs are similar in style to the largest one, but are much smaller. But no matter how small it is, it is not a chair for ordinary human beings to sit on. Such a chair is most suitable for people who can grow to ten meters.

"Look here, the runes here are the only ones that can be seen clearly. Can you translate them?"

The doctor asked. At this time, the two of them were facing the largest seat under the giant tree, and he was pointing to the outermost seat on the left. The backrests of all five chairs have ancient runes written vertically, but currently only the text on the backrest of this chair is clearly visible.

Those words exuded a fiery red shimmer, and Shade could see them clearly even if he stood far away. He translated from top to bottom and from right to left according to his habit:

"Wait a minute, let me take a look - the light is like fire, and time will never return."

"What does this mean?"

The doctor asked, Shade didn't know, and nothing happened here after he finished reading the sentence that appeared:

"I remembered one thing. When I participated in a charity auction some time ago, I met Professor Uke Wood and bought a folklore book "Ximu Town and the World Tree" through his introduction. It is believed that the giant trees in the forest are guarded by symbols of many natural forces: earth, water veins, fire and wind.”

The doctor nodded:

"You mean, the so-called giant tree in the forest is the one that hurt me and exiled you just now? And the so-called four guards are the things sitting on these four chairs. We have solved the demon that symbolizes fire, so 'Fire' will appear?"

Shade is not entirely sure either:

"It's just a possibility."

"So is there a possibility that there are three other demons here corresponding to the earth, water veins and wind?"

The doctor said with a smile again, and Shade shook his head:

"Although we often encounter demons, there shouldn't be four of them at once. Doctor, do you still remember what knocked you away just now?"

"It seems to be a dragon-headed beast, but it's different from the ones we saw at the beach in the summer."

"Is it possible that that corresponds to the wind?"

Shade asked again, and the doctor nodded thoughtfully:

"It's indeed possible. I was so happy just now that I almost forgot about this."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a black cube immediately appeared in front of him. The cube then disintegrated into countless small black squares, revealing what they contained. This trick was also learned after swallowing the demon in the labyrinth in Green Lake:

"After I eliminated the demon, there was no demon body left this time. Only the essence I needed was left in its body. But after it disappeared, this was left. This is not the power of the demon."

What the doctor took out was a small branch, and there were still little sparks burning on the branch. Those sparks seem to have become part of the branches and will not go out even if they are frozen, blown by wind, or pressed. This also leads to the fact that shaking the branches will cause the little bits of fire to leave afterimages in the air.

"The sparks above are not demonic flames, they seem to be just ordinary fires."

As he spoke, he handed the branch, which was not very long, to Shade. The branch was bare and leafless, and looked very thin. When Xia De came into contact with the branch, he immediately felt the special nature of its material:

"Branches of the World Tree."

He said with certainty that the Key of Yggdrasil, the antique arrows of the elves, and the Evergreen Leaf were enough for him to distinguish similar materials:

"Is this the power it was given?"

"I don't know about that, it's not within my expertise."

The doctor shook his head again and said nothing more when he saw Shade's solemn face. If the tree just now was used as an opponent, he knew how much pressure Shade faced.

And looking at this strange place with no cover at all, the doctor knew that there was a powerful presence, and he seemed not to worry about being defeated by anyone at all.

Although this place looks strange, in fact, apart from the glowing fiery red letters, there are no traces of abnormal elements.

It was already dark, and seeing that there were no other clues here, Shade and the doctor left.

However, the doctor has no intention of returning to the city with Xia De. Just as the two of them have agreed, he will make some preparations in the forest that will not be discovered by others, and then contact Xia De when he is ready to obtain the third core spirit rune. Virtue.

The two parted in the forest, and Shade watched the doctor's limping back disappear before preparing to return. He was actually still a little worried about the doctor, not worried that he would encounter danger in the forest, but worried that he would lose control.

If the doctor's original action of devouring the devil was to crack walnuts with a steam bomb, then what he had to do now was to swim in the magma with a steam bomb.

But since the doctor had made up his mind, Shade could only help him as much as he could.

The place where he met Iluna and the others was the entrance of the deserted village of Gregory. When Shade arrived, the original deserted village actually looked like it was still burning just now. The smoldering flames made the ruins of the village continue to emit smoke, and even the temperature at the entrance of the village rose a lot.

Iluna, Sister Defulin, Flora and several high-level girls who were waiting for him were sitting around the bonfire lit by the nuns. Hearing the footsteps, they turned around and saw a silver wolf coming out of the woods, and then stood up under the moon and turned into Shade.

"Shad, you're so slow~ If you don't come, we'll go find you."

Iluna waved her hand and said this first. She had great confidence in Shad.

Seeing that everyone was safe, Shade breathed a sigh of relief:

"We encountered some troubles, but they have been resolved. Are you all okay? Where is Miss Elsa Esberg? I haven't thanked her yet."

"She went back first. She has some things to deal with in the Far North. But she saw the [Night Watcher] and must have guessed that you are a Godcaller. I am curious how Danister will explain it to her."

Flora said, standing up and patting her skirt:

"Anyway, this night is finally over. I have thought of the idea for the fifth oil painting! "Silver Wolf in the Forest", Shade, I think your silver wolf form is more beautiful than the moonlight dragon form."

Shade smiled, and then asked Sister Defulin:

"Has the first fire taken away by the demon been recovered?"

The nun nodded silently, but in fact, the matter tonight was not over. Sister Defulin did not follow everyone into the city. She needed to return to the sacrificial site first and wait until the witches arrived on the weekend before coming together.

Improving strength in death delayed other things. As a leader, she was not a symbol for the [Spiritual Order], and she also needed time to stabilize her strength after absorbing the flames of the devil and this primordial fire.

However, before Sister Develyn left, she gave Shad a package:

"These are things left by the demon hunters a hundred years ago. The demons entrenched here did not destroy them."

When Shad and the girls returned to the Accordion Hotel, it was already three o'clock in the morning on Thursday.

Miss Danister was still waiting for everyone, but when everyone entered the door, everyone saw that the red-haired girl was obviously very unhappy.

"Danister, what's wrong with you? Look, we are all back safely."

Flora asked in a good mood. Hunting demons made her very excited.

The girl on the sofa looked at Shade, then pointed to the box on the coffee table:

"Shade, this is for you."

Shade almost immediately recognized what it was. This was the box he and the black-haired sorceress saw in the apartment rented by the actress in the evening of midsummer in 1821. Unexpectedly, after 33 years, the box is still there.

So Shade roughly guessed what was in the box, and then guessed the reason why the red-haired girl was unhappy:

"Where did you get this?"

He asked carefully, and then looked at him with rose-red eyes:

"About forty minutes ago, the principal asked me to go to the academy, and then said that the teacher left something for me, Shade, and you went to see the teacher again, right?"

Flora then understood, she took Iluna, the only one who didn't understand, back a few steps, and then explained to Iluna telepathically, so Iluna also understood.

"I did meet Ms. Carter.

Something unexpected happened just now, and I was thrown out of the current time. Our guess about the remains of the World Tree was completely correct, but I don't quite understand why it just drove me away. It was Ms. Carter who helped me come back, and we spent about a day together."

The box was manipulated to fly to Shade and opened automatically. The note and ring inside were all there. Shade guessed that Mia should be happy for several days.

The note was no longer left by the astrologer Mr. Euclid to Ms. Carter, but by Ms. Carter to Miss Danister. Shade opened the note, and then understood more why Miss Danister was unhappy.

PS: Modify a bug in the previous text. In Chapter 1210, Miss Danister mentioned that the core spiritual rune of her teacher was "Silver Moon". I handled it according to the Red Moon in this volume.

Fortunately, there are not many parts that need to be modified, only involving the demonstration of the Moonlight Great Sword during the "Dance of the Three", the thirteen-ring magic when taking Shade to treatment on a flying carpet, and the title of Ms. Carter mentioned in the previous chapter.

The first two places have replaced the red moon with the silver moon, but it should be noted that Ms. Carter is actually proficient in all the powers of March.

The title in the previous chapter was changed from "Red Moon Sorcerer" to "Moon Sorcerer", which also fits her character who is proficient in all the powers of March.
