Chapter 2931 Tree Hole Curse

Shad and Matilda looked at each other for a moment, letting each other's figures reflect each other's eyes, and then they started another kiss in a small corner of the cabin.

This led to Bella feeling that her apprentice was in a particularly good mood after the divination ended that day. Professional maids should rarely express their true thoughts, but it is obvious that Matilda "crossed the line" that day.

The countess didn't ask anything in the end, and could only attribute it to an accidental phenomenon, but Tifa, who is also a professional maid, guessed what the possible "crossing the line" was. Of course, only Matilda herself knew that the bright red rose in the vase at the bedside was a gift from someone.

In addition to the knowledge represented by the leaves and the new effects of the magic, Shad's gains from this time adventure also include gifts from the gods.

The old god-[Lord of the Black Robe], the guardian of the teachers, gave Shad many books. These books do not exist in reality, but are directly added to the "Moon Library".

This is Shade's magic, not the wonderful space left behind by the ancient god of Silver Moon when he left. The number of new books added to the library this time has directly doubled the number of collections.

But it is obvious that Shade cannot read all the books here in a few days. He has not been able to read all the books left on Green Island by Laplace Howard, the ancestor of Megan and Audrey.

But he at least checked it a little bit. The books left to him by the gods are not secret history or stories about gods. Those seem to be the former collections of the "Different Tree Academy", from the most basic introduction to extraordinary power to some superficial knowledge about the path of demigods, and there are no restrictions at all. As long as Shade wants to read, he can read it immediately.

Unfortunately, what he lacks is not the library, nor the interest in reading, but time. If there is enough time, he can get Miss Danister's permission to read all the collections of Saint Byrons, and wait until he reads himself to the thirteenth ring or even demigod, and then come out to continue the story of the chosen one.

"Meow~"

The cat rubbed the back of Shade's hand, probably sensing Shade's melancholy. Shade looked in the mirror to make sure that Matilda's lipstick marks had been wiped off by himself, then he grabbed the cat on the sink and returned to the cabin corridor.

The final reward was the method he asked the shadow of the tree father to fight against the ancient existence in the forest again at the end of this time adventure.

The golden light that appeared when Shade and the cat left the white mist certainly did not tell Shade the answer to his question, but he saw something else in that light.

It was a simple divine spell message - the tree hole spell, the effect of the divine spell is to open a tree hole on the trunk of a big tree. This is not a tree hole that can travel through time, but a tree hole for storing items.

The inside of the tree hole does not have a special huge space, but a time field that is almost completely stagnant. In other words, the meaning of the divine spell or the spell "tree hole spell" is to open a special space to keep objects in a stagnant state, so as to store things that are easily affected by time.

Of course, because it is a basic spell, it is impossible to use this tree hole to control the characteristics of the relic.

"Speaking of which, Professor Yuk Wood and I talked about the "Tree Hole Ceremony" mentioned in the book "Riverwood Town and the World Tree" that the local residents used to preserve food for the New Year. Is it similar to this magic (Chapter 2760)?"

But the information given by the tree father is only used to introduce this basic spell, and no specific learning method is given. After all, the reward for this mission is only that piece of information, and it is impossible to give Shade an extra reward for nothing.

"So, understanding this magic can help me, right?"

Shade thought in his heart, and planned to write to Grandma Qisala to see if the elves still have the learning method of this magic. But thinking about it carefully, the meaning of this magic seems to be very obvious, and the information of the magic also includes how to open a tree hole opened by the "Tree Hole Curse".

This is actually very simple. You just need to find a branch on the big tree corresponding to the tree hole, and then gently poke it at the location of the tree hole. After all, this is really just a very basic magic.

The two witches did not bring apprentices or followers with them when they went to the dragon's nest this time. Although Sylvia is good at the power of space, she can also fly. Holding the cat and the owl, they flew through the treetops in the forest and arrived at their destination at ten o'clock in the morning.

The dragon beast's nest, which was covered by geological activities, had been forcibly melted into a passage by Xiwei, who led the team before. After Sylvia found the entrance covered by the illusion, she took the two of them in. The side walls of the deep passage were unusually smooth, which made the huge open space at the end of the passage seem a little too rough.

Too much time has passed, and this dragon beast's nest looks like an ordinary hill cave, which is completely inferior to the real dragon's nest connected to the "space maze" outside Yuewan City, and even a little different from the nest that appeared in the light and shadow "played" in the tree hole of the wooden board.

The grave is located in the deepest part of this nest. There is no tombstone, and the grave has collapsed long ago. Xiwei and the others probably found this place after careful investigation.

"Don't use your mental power to try to explore the part below this ground. I know your soul is powerful, but the curse here is connected to the entire forest."

The owl stood on the shoulder of Shade, who had returned to his human form, and reminded him. Sylvia cast a spell to illuminate the surroundings and signaled Shade to confirm the situation as soon as possible.

"Flora, don't come close to me yet. Move back with Sylvia."

The owl flapped its wings and flew onto the black-haired witch's shoulder. After the two retreated to a safe position, Shade knelt down on one knee and pressed his hand on the ground.

Even if you don't use mental power to pry, perception can still be used to tentatively observe the differences here. Shade remained silent for a long time. When the witches were a little worried, he stood up:

"If I hadn't come here this morning, or even if I had come here last night, I probably wouldn't have discovered anything. This tomb is a tree hole. No, no, it's not a tree hole that travels through time, it's a tree hole where items are stored."

He introduced the general situation of the magical "Tree Hole Curse" to the witches:

"Someone used this magic to preserve Jindel's body so that his body would never decay."

"But can't magic only be cast on trees? After all, this is not a 'burrow curse'."

The owl raised a question, and Sylvia guessed:

"Perhaps what is buried underground is not a coffin, but a tree growing upright in the soil. This is the Vista Woodland after all, and I won't be surprised if any weird things happen."

"Then can you open the tree hole? If we can get Jindel's body directly, we can indeed find a way to lure out the dragon without destroying his body."

Flora said again, and Shade was not very sure either:

"I only understand the information about divine magic. I have never been exposed to it. Let me open the blockade of the surface soil first. The curse comes from the underground, and the protective power of the ground is only superficial."

He took off the black key on his chest, turned it into a black staff with a flick, and then the bottom of the long staff touched the soil under his feet——

"Key to the door!"

The soil under the long staff automatically rolled around, gradually revealing a rectangular grave pit. Sylvia carefully led Flora to look down from behind Shad. What she saw was countless black roots protruding from the side walls of the tomb, tightly wrapped around a huge tree trunk.

The roots looked like they were growing together with the severed trunk, because the trunk was clearly still alive.

But no matter how extravagant it is, no one will use the World Tree as a coffin, so the long staff in Shade's hand cannot open the tree hole dug in the tree. But at least when the long stick tried to poke the tree trunk, those dense roots did not suddenly squirm and attack the three of them.

The strong curse came from the black tree trunk, but the soil and roots were not a problem. In order to test it, Shade even dropped a few drops of No. 3 holy water onto the trunk of the tree, and the black smoke that immediately emerged showed how powerful this curse was.

"Destroying this coffin directly would cause big problems. Although the roots here are very thin, they are very similar to the roots I saw underground in the mine, which were clinging to densely packed paradox worm vesicles. I'm worried that once If the roots here are touched, not only the dragon beast will appear, but the paradox insect will also appear. "

Shade didn't want to face two enemies at once if it wasn't necessary. So about half an hour later, the elf girl riding little Liana also came here.

The glimmer of light on the unicorn looks even more sacred in the darkness. Little Liana has been well taken care of recently, but probably because she has a large group of chocobos as playmates to run around in the forest, so it I haven't gained weight like I did this summer.

The elf who probed looked into the tomb and said to Shade in a relaxed tone:

"It's the tree hole opened by the tree hole curse~ I also often use this magic to store uneaten snacks, I mean the perishable casting materials."

"Can you open it without touching those roots? There should be Jindel's body inside."

Shade asked, and the pointed-eared elf nodded:

"The person who made this tree hole is very clever, but after all, this is just a basic magic, which can't trouble me. But I need time to open this kind of tree hole, just like a clever thief trying to open the eighteen mechanical codes Like a locked safe, it takes patience and luck.”

This statement is correct, they really want to steal other people's precious treasures:

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"It's half past ten in the morning. We should be able to open it by tonight."
