Whispering Verse

Chapter 2837 Present and Future

The ritual seems simple, and the main body of the ritual array should be underwater. The elf girl took the [Ocarina of Time] in the flowerpot and followed everyone here. Emilia was surprised by the appearance of the familiar long sword. She thought the sword had always been in Shade's hand.

"This sword is temporarily placed in her hand. You will still hold it when you come back."

Shade then explained to Emilia, and Emilia nodded ignorantly. She was actually thinking that in this way, she would not be the only elf around Shade. Then she remembered what the little red-haired princess once said, and she no longer had the unique scarcity.

"Shad, bring the jar of umbilical cord to this girl. Miss Siam Nord, drink this jar of potion, then jump into the pool holding the umbilical cord."

The relatively mature elf girl said and handed the prepared potion to Emilia. The elf drank it after seeing Shade nodding. She didn't hate this strange "sister". On the contrary, she felt that she had a very familiar intimacy:

"Mint flavor, I like this flavor."

Emilia whispered, then took the jar of umbilical cord, looked at each other, held her breath and jumped into the pool.

The water splashed to the shore, and when they saw the "feeder" falling into the water, the furry chocobos who were watching hurriedly gathered around and wanted to drink the water to save her, but they were stopped by Miss Danister and Luvi. Ya stopped them to prevent them from interfering with the ceremony. Even little Lianna used her head to push away a short blue chocobo baby that slipped under everyone's feet and reached the water pool.

At this time, the ritual had been activated, the runes on the shore lit up with emerald green light, and the originally clear water began to boil and emit an emerald green light rich in vitality. Vigorous vitality spread from the pool to all directions. Not only the forest felt this power, but Shade and others on the shore also felt the ancient power boiling.

The elf girl holding the sword waited for a moment, then stood by the pool, holding the sword in both hands, and thrust the tip of the sword into the water:

"Wait a minute, don't be too surprised - Thaumaturgy·Crystal Touch."

"What?"

Of course Shade knew about this thaumaturgy. Dorothy and Lesia had been giving lectures on fairy tales and thaumaturgy for two months.

"I told you not to be so surprised. This thaumaturgy itself is not actually an alternative petrification technique. Its essence is a genuine time-based thaumaturgy, but it just happens to be blocked by petrification resistance."

The elf girl explained while casting the spell. The water surface where the sword tip touched was crystallizing rapidly, but she did not want to turn the entire pool of water into crystal, because not long after, in the increasingly boiling water, a crystal as high as a person was lifted up by the water. .

Shade, the sword-wielding elf, Luvia, Miss Danister and Agelina could all see that inside the crystal that shone brightly under the sunlight and the emerald green light spots in the sky, there was a figure curled up with eyes closed. Body, Emilia holding the jar of umbilical cord.

She herself did not turn into crystal, but the jar of umbilical cord took on a crystal-like color. It looked like Emilia was sealed in transparent amber.

"Emilia is so beautiful now!"

The little princess even said so.

"Shad, do you know how to reverse this thaumaturgy?"

The elf holding the sword asked again. Shade remembered what Dorothy said at that time:

"The gods have the ability to reverse the magical effects of mortals, and a few angel-level relics should also be able to do so. In addition, either the caster must forcefully break the spell at the cost of serious injury to himself, or reverse time."

The elf then waved the long sword in his hand:

"This sword is one of the so-called 'few angel-level relics'."

As she spoke, she took out another jar of green ointment, and then asked Shade and Luvia to help them use the ointment to smear specific ritual symbols on the surface of the crystal - she did not let Agelina help because she was afraid On the contrary, she was not helping.

After doing this, the elf girl activated the ritual again and let the crystal slowly sink into the pool. When she was ready, she jumped forward with a soft cry, and the crystal that was dipped in translucent green immediately flew out from the bottom of the pool, and the elf happened to wave at the crystal at this time. A sword was drawn.

After a crisp sound of ding~, the crystal and the semi-crystalline umbilical cord exploded into a large piece of crystal powder in the air, while Emilia, who was curled up, was still floating in the air and her whole body began to glow.

As for the pieces of exploding crystal powder, they first dispersed in all directions, but soon returned to their original path as if they were rewinding time. But the crystal powder did not reunite into crystal, but entered Emilia's body together.

At the same time, green leaf vein marks automatically appeared on the back of Emilia's hand. In the emerald green light, the already dense leaf veins continued to extend towards the blank area on the back of the hand, making the vein marks more complex and real.

The emergence of power made the light on Emilia's body stronger, and those emerald green lights continued to saturate the forest land that was still green even in late autumn. The vision lasted for five minutes before it ended, and the six-ring life ring behind her emerged.

When Emilia woke up in the air, she first looked around in confusion, then got a reminder from Agelina, who was holding the cat, and looked down at herself, then she screamed "Ah~" and fell. He headed towards the pool, but fortunately, Shade and Miss Danister cast spells in time to catch him before he fell into the water.

The elf with loose blond hair slowly floated to the shore. Everyone noticed that her emerald green eyes looked brighter, and her long golden hair that originally seemed to sparkle became even more shiny.

When Emilia's feet stood on the ground again, Luvia immediately asked her how she was feeling now, and the somewhat confused elf felt for a moment before replying:

"I seemed to have had a dream just now. I dreamed that saplings grew into big trees in the forest. I heard the sound of the forest."

“It looks like it’s working out pretty well.”

The elf holding the sword commented emotionlessly, and then told Shade:

"Before Wednesday night, when you have nothing to do, tell her more about your experience after coming to Vista Grove. You should try to be as detailed as possible, preferably to the precise date and time."

"Is this part of the ceremony?"

Emilia asked in confusion, but Shade understood what she meant:

"No problem, so is there anything else we need to do before Wednesday?"

The elf girl shook her head, but reminded cautiously:

"Until then, just protect her."

Now that they are here, Luvia and Miss Daniste both have something to say to the adult elf girl, so Shade and the others did not leave immediately.

While Luvia and Miss Danister were talking to the elf girl, Shade took Emilia to the woods to try her new skills. Of course, the little unicorn and Agelina were also going to follow. .

It seemed that the underage Emilia was more popular with the chocobos, and before they knew it, a large group of chocobos were following them. But they didn't get close, so Shade didn't pay attention.

Emilia's gains this time are mainly divided into two aspects, and the power increase brought to her by the fourth candidate is also mainly concentrated in these two aspects: time and trees.

The improvement of "Tree" means that she has become more skillful in controlling trees. Now she can easily turn a small sapling into a towering tree. According to Emilia, this has almost become her instinct.

The improvement of "time" is mainly focused on the "eyes" aspect, which is also because the abilities of the twin princes are mainly concentrated on the eyes.

"I can now see some short-term future scenes. Although I am not yet proficient in it, during battle, I should be able to see what my opponent will do next in an emergency."

The elf girl said embarrassedly, and then added:

"And I can now see the future of something. This does not mean that I can see through the future, but that I can see the possible future form of something. For example, if I see a tree sapling, I can know how it will grow. What it would look like; for example, a piece of cake, I could see how disgusting it would be if it were left to rot naturally.”

"So can you see people's futures?"

The cat-loving Agelina asked curiously, and Emilia nodded:

"Yes, for example, if you see a child, you can know what he may look like when he grows up. But this will not work for a time-resistant object like Shade. Of course, it will not work for little Mia. Little Mia's Time resistance also seems to be high.

"Meow~"

"But chocobos are fine. Look at this one. When it grows up, its feathers will be even more beautiful than they are now."

Emilia said, picking up the little chocobo that ran to her feet, and then placed it on little Liana's back. The unicorn didn't hate her for doing this, but turned his head to look at his back in excitement.

"What about me?"

Agelina then pointed at herself with some expectation, and Emilia looked at her. A light seemed to flash in her emerald green eyes, and then she said hesitantly:

"You will be beautiful when you grow up. Just as beautiful as you are now."

So the little princess holding the cat was happy for a while, but when Shade and Emilia talked about "summoning tree people", she suddenly realized the hidden meaning of this sentence. She turned sideways and looked at the pool on the side, her figure and height in the pool, she opened her mouth in a daze, and immediately became unhappy.

With anxiety about the future, especially the anxiety caused by the comparison, before the group left here that morning, Agelina even quietly found the grown-up elf who was temporarily alone, and then asked a little embarrassedly. :

"Amelia, can you give me some advice? How did you become so tall when you grew up?"

PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance and will update tomorrow.
