Whispering Verse

Chapter 2956 Tree Hole Spell and Return to the Starting Point

"If time travel didn't cost a lot, then time would seem worthless."

The masked man said, and Shade was noncommittal:

"Can I ask about your personal privacy issues? What is the significance of helping people travel through time?"

"Are you from the church?"

"Of course not."

"So you want to find out who I am in reality?"

"What you said actually exposed the fact that you still have an identity in reality."

Then the masked man laughed. He probably used potions or spells to disguise his voice. At this time, his voice sounded different from anyone Shade knew:

"You know, young man, everyone has regrets. Even the king who wears the crown or the powerful thirteen-ring warlocks definitely have regrets in their past lives.

Some people regard regret as the process of their own life and as a part of themselves, but more people want to make up for their regrets. I opened this transit station for this purpose. I do not force people who come here to trade, but most people will eventually sign their names on these papers. "

He pushed the two pieces of paper in front of Sha De. Sha De lowered his head and took another look:

"Allow me to be a little curious. Have you been doing this work for many years? I mean, how many people have you sent to the past and future over the years?"

"You want to test my origin? No, no, this question cannot be answered."

"Then can you send me to any time?"

Shade changed the question:

"For example, I want to go to the original era or the next era. Is that okay?"

Although he couldn't see the expression, Shade was sure that the face behind the mask must be smiling:

"I don't have that much power. Looking back into the past, I can let you go as far as 500 years in the Sixth Age. No, towards the future, starting from last year, there will no longer be tickets to the future here."

"Last year, was it because of the beginning of "The Whispering Cantos"? I heard that since the first chosen one appeared in Tobesk City, many things in the material world have begun to change."

"Guest, you have so many questions."

He put away the two documents:

"I will not recycle the invitation letter you used. You can go back and think about whether to sign it later. I am not forcing anyone to make a choice."

"Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the church?"

“So how is the church going to find me?”

The masked man asked, and Shade also laughed:

"That's true, and I don't want to be in such a convenient place."

He roughly figured out the situation here, and then it was time to investigate in the real world. It was obviously because of the Impermanence card that I tracked it down here, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know who Bennet is in front of him. He wants to take what he has seen here back and let the fortune tellers try to find some clues.

But when Shade was holding on to the table and about to stand up, he suddenly thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, I came to this city and was entrusted to find someone, but so far there is no news."

"I don't accept requests to find people here."

"I mean, I can't find that person no matter what. I even commissioned a professional fortune teller to do divination and I can't find him. I was originally confused about where the other person went, but now that I have seen this time transfer station, So is it possible?”

Shade looked at the black mask:

"Has he passed through you and is no longer in our time and space?"

The masked man crossed his fingers on the table:

"You want to buy information about my former guests?"

"Yes, do you sell it?"

"What's the name of the person you're looking for?"

Shade hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"You know the famous Miss Winslet who lives in the city now? I was entrusted by the Winslet family to find Anthony Winslet, the youngest son of the current Earl Winslet. I actually guessed that Miss Flora Winslet came here for this purpose. After all, Earl Winslet is old and it’s time to choose his successor.”

The masked man was silent for a moment:

"I remember this man, Anthony Winslet. He first appeared here in the spring of 1844, and it took two months before he made up his mind to leave the present."

"When did he go? How do I get him back? In other words, do you have a way to get him back?"

Xia De asked again, but he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise. Now that the old Earl Winslet is in trouble, Flora doesn't want her father to inherit the title, so she wants to find her missing uncle to support her aunt. However, there has been no clue, and with other things taking up her energy, even Miss Owl herself is about to give up.

But the masked man shook his head:

"I will not reveal the secrets of these guests. I am just a businessman, giving those who want to make up for their regrets a second chance. Starting from my ancestors, we have come and gone to welcome countless people and see countless Even if you can travel through time, there will always be regrets in life, right? "

"Since you are willing to tell me that he has been here, you are definitely not just out of kindness. Tell me, what price will it cost you to answer my question. Money? Precious relics? Or some secret information? As a ring warlock, I , still has some ability.”

Shade actually wanted to ask, "Do I want to play a game of Rhodes to determine the outcome?", but he was worried that this would reveal his purpose. After all, it was impossible for a normal person to make such a suggestion at this time.

The masked man was obviously a normal person. He opened his palms to Shade:

"I won't let people I don't trust do things for me, especially if you haven't decided whether to trade with me yet. Time is a very fascinating thing. With ten standard units of Sands of Time, I can temporarily do it for you. You open a two-way door to Anthony Winslet's time."

"Standard unit" is a unit used to describe the amount of sand of time. That strange sand has no weight at all, so mass units such as "pounds" cannot be used.

"This amount is really a lot, but it's not impossible to get it. But how can I see you again? Come back next Saturday? I'm in a hurry, and looking at the current situation in Vista City, can it still exist next week? It’s really possible.”

The masked man thought for a while:

"We have agreed on a time. When will you be able to prepare the Sands of Time?"

"Today is Saturday, how about tomorrow night?"

"So soon? That's fine. You can use the invitation again on Sunday night. I'll be waiting for you here."

Shade then stood up, but did not leave immediately:

"Last question, can I see your face? I always feel that you give me a very familiar look."

The masked man then also stood up. In the steam mist and the sound of whistle bells, an eight-ring life ring appeared behind him, which was consistent with Shade's level. It's just that his life ring is not made of brass, but of wood.

As for his core spiritual runes, there are three in total, Miracle-Tree, Enlightenment-Time, and Enlightenment-Contract.

He didn't want to fight Shade immediately, but as his life ring appeared, it seemed as if the entire time and space had been mobilized by him. Even though Shade was immune to almost all time-based effects, he still felt a sense of danger at this time.

In other words, even if you want to fight the person in front of you, you must not do it in this kind of space.

"Maybe it's my imagination."

Shade thought for a while and shook his head:

"Then we'll see you tomorrow. By the way, I have a friend whose twin children disappeared locally a few years ago. Do you know any clues about this?"

This is a misleading question. The question he just asked will definitely arouse suspicion, so instead of making the other party suspect that he is a ring warlock who specializes in investigating this place, it is better to add a few more confusing options.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"That's okay. When we meet tomorrow night, should I go out through the door or the stairs?"

Shade asked again, and the masked man pointed in the direction of the hotel door:

"Guest, welcome to your next visit."

After passing through the open black doorframe, Shade felt his surroundings tremble again. But this time Shade felt very clearly that it was not the shaking of the ground but the shaking of the entire space and time.

When he looked around again, he had returned to the dark alley. After sensing the time, only one second passed before I stepped into the "door" just now.

"Faster than the Time Key."

Turning around and looking behind me, I saw that there was no "black hole" on the wall, only the black invitation slipped from the wall. Shade took the invitation and immediately left the place to prevent being traced in the opposite direction.

I'm just still thinking:

"The 'Time Transfer Station' is a space with a fixed location but completely stagnant time. Does this sound familiar? Tell me, was that special space just opened by the [Tree Hole Curse]?"

[Tree Hole Curse] was obtained by Shade when he asked Tree Father for help after completing the Time Key of "Ashes Valley". Of course, he only obtained relevant information and not the magic itself.

The function of this magic is to create a stagnant space inside the big tree to store food and other items that are easily affected by time. Not long ago, in the dragon beast's lair, Shade and the witches discovered that Jindel's body was stored in a tree hole.

But obviously, the reason why the tree father gave Shade the hint was not just because of the corpse.

[If it is really the Tree Hole Curse, then this basic magic has been developed to an astonishing degree. 】

"Yeah, it's pretty amazing, so I don't think it was some Bennet's own handiwork."

The silver cat jumped quickly on the roof:

"Things are getting more and more interesting. I first came to the local area to look for Miss Danister, but I accidentally discovered the Bennet that the mermaid said. Now I have gone around the city in a big circle, and the final investigation actually turned out to be... It’s back to Bennett.”
