Chapter 2990 The Tree of Thousand “Corpses”

"Swear to the moon? Do you need to be so serious?"

The black-haired sorceress raised her eyebrows at Shade, but seeing that Shade was really serious, she nodded lightly:

"Okay, but you have to answer me a question first: If it's really so dangerous, why did you bring me here? If you didn't bring me here, I wouldn't know about this old professor, and I wouldn't be able to listen. to your conversation.”

"Because this matter shouldn't be hidden from you."

Shade replied:

"I'm not worried that you know my plan. I even want you to know that I will not be willing to just find the tree where your body turned into with Miss Denist more than thirty years later, and then I will hug you Hold the cat and burn the tree with the crying Miss Daniste."

"All mortals are mortal."

"Yes, but I need you to help me, Helena Carter."

It is very impolite to call someone by name directly, and this is the first time Shade has done so. He stared at the black-haired sorceress standing under the umbrella with him in the rain, and said in a slow but firm voice:

"I need you to help me in the future. I need you to stand by my side and Miss Denist's side in the future, and fight with us against the fate that is destined to come. I don't care what you think, maybe what I say now is strange. , but madam, whether you will open your eyes again in the future is not up to you, it is up to me.

After all, you yourself said that you should have passed away by then. "

The thirteen-ring sorceress has experienced far more stories than the young outsider, and more than one person has spoken to her in a tougher and harsher tone. She didn't make any compromise because of Shade's words, and looked at him under the umbrella with slightly narrowed eyes.

After three full minutes, she said softly:

"I swear to the moon, I will not take the initiative to come to this old professor today in any way. But Shade Hamilton, do you really want me to be active again in the future just because I am a thirteen-ring warlock?"

"Of course it's also for Miss Danister. You still owe her an answer. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Then the sorceress laughed, and the crooked look in her eyes was definitely not fake:

"Watching young people like you clumsily explain yourself is why I insist on working as a teacher in the academy."

Shade didn't know what she was thinking about him, so he took the initiative to ask:

"So if I really follow my plan and not change the past but work on the future. When you do open your eyes and see us, will you blame me for letting you reappear?"

"Won't."

"Then can you imagine at this moment how you will feel when you see me and Miss Danister?"

Shade then asked, and the black-haired sorceress patted Shade on the shoulder with her free right hand:

"Is your revenge so strong?"

As he said that, he held Shade's hand and continued walking forward with him. The sound of their conversation was gradually drowned in the sound of rain:

"The situation in your time was really so crisis-ridden that even Daniste couldn't cope with it?"

"Even if she has lifted the curse now, it is not enough to mention that there was a small incident on our side recently: the first librarian of St. Byrons, Miss, traveled through time from the fifth era to our era."

"oh?"

She turned to Shade and winked:

"When you leave later, I will go with you to 1854."

"?"

It wasn’t that Shade had heard wrong, or that Ms. Carter was joking with Shade. After Shade repeatedly confirmed it several times, he finally confirmed on the carriage out of the city that the lady really planned to go to the future again.

"Didn't I tell you before that although I have passed away in your time, I intend to help you during your decisive battle in the Vista Grove?"

The sorceress asked:

"So I have long thought about how to travel through time again. In order to prevent the birth of new Paradox Worms, of course the tree hole I used can no longer be used. But after all, I have been to the future once, and I still have you. Special existences can carry information from different time and space.

Based on these premises, coupled with some of my gains in the Vesta Glades, I created a method of summoning similar to the projected state. Of course, this method also requires you to find relics in your era that have the function of "summoning people from the past" to cooperate. "

"The angel-level relic [poetry cards] should be fine, right?"

This is a relic obtained from Laplace Howard during the Green Lake Incident. Shade originally planned to use this relic to contact Miss Feliana, but because the venue of the parliament and Miss Isabella's hair were used as markers, he mistakenly made contact with the past Adele for the first time.

Now that the relic is being kept by the [Witch Council], it is quite easy to borrow it.

"Of course. Is this relic in your hands? We need to test whether this method works. We can't try it again when we really need me. So, why can't it be today?"

"You also want to meet Miss Olanode?"

Shade has just briefly introduced the witch of the Fifth Era, so the current librarian also has a preliminary understanding of her:

"I'm just curious. Opportunities like this don't come often."

"So you agreed to go see Miss Daniste for this?"

"Wait a minute, I want to go to your era, which does not mean I want to see Danister."

She smiled and gave such an inequality, then held her face and looked at the rainy scene in the evening outside the car window. The city in midsummer turned gray in the rain. Of course, Shade would not object to the sudden idea of ​​the sorceress. Since Helena Carter's ending is already doomed, then Shade will certainly satisfy her wishes.

If it is just to summon with the power of the relic, it will not have much impact on the stability of time. And once Ms. Helena Carter really appears in 1854, then who she wants to see or not, in fact, strictly speaking, is not entirely up to her.

Although Shade does not intend to disobey the lady's own ideas, sometimes accidents always come unexpectedly.

The carriage sent the two to the small road outside the city in the rain. The coachman was very curious about what the man and woman wanted to do in the forest in the evening, so he also advised them not to spend the night in the woods.

Then the thirteen-ring sorceress carried Shade, who had turned into a silver cat, and flew over the forest. The stranger sadly found that his rejection of turning into a cat was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.

He was very familiar with the location given by Professor Yuk Wood, so under his guidance, the two of them reached their destination deep in the forest in just twenty minutes:

"Land now. If we fly directly over that area, we can't see anything. We must walk along the path to really get there."

So when the black-haired sorceress's boots touched the ground, she found that there was actually a clear path in such a deep forest, just as Shade said.

The cat jumped out of her arms and turned into a human form. The two walked forward along the path for more than twenty steps, and after pushing aside the lush grass growing in summer, they saw the open space.

The circular open space has an area larger than St. Teresa's Square. Opposite the open space are five huge thrones that seem to be prepared for giants, among which the throne in the center is the tallest.

Behind the throne, the tallest tree the two had seen in the forest so far seemed to be inserted directly into the rainy clouds.

As the raindrops fell from the gaps in the tree canopy, the "corpses" hung by the vines by the neck under the tree canopy were swaying with the wind blowing through the forest.

The number of "corpses" was so huge, and the tree canopy was so huge that it looked like thousands of people were hanging under the giant tree at the same time.

"No, those are not corpses, those people are still alive."

The black-haired lady reminded Shade softly, but the people hanging under the tree were basically no different from being dead. Although the soul still existed, and although the body was maintained by the vitality of the tree, they closed their eyes and did not even breathe. Shade's "Heart of Stone" could not even hear the heartbeat of anyone hanging under the tree.

There was no such "scenery" here more than 30 years later, so Shade wanted to get closer to see what the "corpses" were like. But suddenly the lady beside him reached out to support him. Turning around, Ms. Carter covered her chest with her left hand and breathed heavily with a very uncomfortable expression.

Blue veins bulged on her white forehead. At the same time, when she touched Shade, Shade clearly felt that the spirit in her body was suppressed, and the overall sense of strength was declining.

"What's wrong?"

He immediately helped the sorceress back from the open space to the path, and Ms. Carter's symptoms were immediately relieved.

She took a few more deep breaths to calm the flow of spirits that had returned to their original state from the silent state, and then cast the water-avoiding spell that had just been interrupted:

"Let's move further away and talk under the tree over there."

She didn't let Shade waste gold to summon the camp. After arriving under the big tree beside the path, she leaned against the tree with her back. The rain had soaked her clothes just now, so Shade reached out and summoned a flame to steam her dry, while the sorceress took off the beige sun hat and held it in her arms:

"I roughly understand the situation here, and I also know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."

She turned her head to look at Shade who was controlling the flame:

"All the people hanging on that tree are time cursers like me, and the tree is absorbing the time curse of those people.

The vines hanging around their necks come from the tree itself. After a long process, the tree will suck out the time curse in those people's bodies, and then the bones that fall to the ground are probably the nutrients for this area."
