Chapter 3016 The Authority of Priest Augustus

The pointed-eared elf with blond hair clapped his hands and stood up:

"Let's go. Although it's not dawn yet, the weather is pretty good today. How about we walk around?"

The chocobos were still eating breakfast under the tree and did not follow them, but little Lianna raised her head and looked at the two retreating figures illuminated by the pure silver ball of light, and followed them happily. Of course, the pure white little beast tried to avoid getting close to Shade's cat's shoulder.

"I can guess why you came to me. The final battle is about to begin, right?"

She still knew everything. Shade walked side by side with her and turned to look at the elf's side face:

"Yes, the window period for the Chosen Ceremony to be held is only three days. Emilia, now, I think you should say something to me, right?"

"What about?"

"For example, what kind of power can you exert?"

"I am an eighth-level warlock, you know this. Besides...

She turned to Shade and smiled:

"I know what you want to ask, but I'm sorry, I won't join you from the beginning in the decisive battle tomorrow night."

"How long do you want to wait?"

"Wait on the boat until only the top two candidates are left.

That means only Emilia and the ancient one are left.

Shade nodded slightly and did not ask the other party why he did this. The elf girl has a more important task tomorrow night, and he probably knows the time when the elf will change.

The blond Elfwen continued with his hands behind his back:

“Although I won’t be facing those enemies with you, I know a lot about tomorrow night’s opponent.

The frozen time in the time transfer station can be broken, and I can teach the elf a unique thaumaturgy; the immortality of the paradox insect guardian can also be solved, and you have found a way for this. As for the 'Clockmaker', although she is a real thirteen-ring warlock, among all the challenges tomorrow night, she is the easiest to deal with. "

"Yes, in addition to the time talent, she is also a thirteenth-ring warlock. Now that Vanessa has enough time resistance, and we are both thirteenth-ring, there are many of us, and the 'Clockmaker' is indeed the smallest trouble. "

The two of them are now heading towards the hot spring named "Moon Sanctuary" by the witches, because it is actually very close to the elf girl's tree house, so they can already see the silver moonlight.

Shade continued to ask:

"Since you will join us at the end, what happens next? The battle of time will eventually decide the winner. Can Emilia defeat the ancient one?"

"That's an opponent you don't have the confidence to defeat, not even Emilia Siemold."

The elf girl continued to smile and shook her head. She lowered her head and looked at the snow under her feet:

"I know many stories, but the things I know are only gone at that time. Even the chosen one of time does not dare to say that he knows everything about the past and the future. Besides, Bennett's story is not very good. Have you explained it? Sometimes it’s better to be uncertain about the future.”

"You mean that Thomas Bennet knew the date of his wife's death?"

Shade asked, also curious about what the elf girl thought of "time".

"Yes, only when we face the unknown future will we look forward to things that we may be able to obtain through hard work. If the future is already known and cannot be changed, it is like reading the script of a bad opera in advance. And they are forced to spend money to go to the theater.”

She gave a good metaphor:

"I believe that Thomas Bennet's love for his wife is real, but I also believe that every time he feels happiness over the years, he will have corresponding fears. Fear of the day that is destined to come, fear of the days after loss.

Mastering time does not mean knowing everything. I stand in the 'now', look back at the 'past', and look forward to the 'future'. This is enough. The chosen one is not a god, and the chosen one of time is not time itself, so there is still some respect for time. "

Shade stopped:

"But we still don't know how to defeat the ancient one."

The elf shook his head gently:

"I really don't know the answer."

So all Shade can hope for is to find that drop of divinity in the final battle. The oracle of Zhengshen and the guidance of Cherubim gave part of the answer respectively. He was now almost certain that the drop of divinity was in the remains of the World Tree, and it was most likely the divinity that originally belonged to the tree father.

After finding that drop of divinity, even the "divine overflow" state could not defeat the ancient one. The worst he could do was burn the divinity and transform into a god.

Although Shade had always thought that he could not burn divinity at will when his opponent was not an evil god. After all, in order to complete his twelve divinities and become a god, he still needed a lot of divinity.

But this time he plans to change his principles. This time, even if he uses up all the divinity he has accumulated so far, he must protect the elf who trusts him so much.

After walking near the hot springs with the elf girl, Shade planned to return to Tobesk City. The elf girl promised to appear on the Radiant Messenger tonight to discuss plans with everyone. Even if she does not participate in the war, she can still give a lot of effective suggestions.

Shade, who returned home with the cat, did not stay at home for long, but got on a carriage at the intersection of the square and headed to the Church of the Dawn.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning, but the stars and the three-wheeled moon were still high in the sky. Shade and Priest August talked about this matter when they met, but this kind of thing was not something they could solve.

"Priest, the final battle at Vista Grove is expected to take place on Saturday night."

In the old priest's basement potion workshop, Shade simply told a series of recent events:

"I think you may need to go to the Vista Grove this time."

"No problem, I said from the beginning that I can help, but what exactly do you need me to do?"

"That's it. Do you think your power of death can defeat the remains of the World Tree?"

Hearing Shade ask such a question, the old priest sitting on the high stool leaned back slightly:

"This...\\n.\\nAlthough I can help, this is somewhat beyond my capabilities."

He was afraid that Shade would make more bizarre requests, so he pointed at himself and said:

"I have just been promoted to the fifth ring, but because of the eyes you found some time ago, I can now do some things that normal ring warlocks cannot understand. You can understand it this way, the power of the original angel - the angel of death has begun to appear.

In the past, the power of death was only superficial, and others could do what I could do, but now there is only this thing that only I can do - I can directly send something to death.

It can be life, it can be an object, it can even be a certain concept. Once I do this, the other person will never come back. I even suspect that unless a god of the death series takes action, even other gods will not be able to retrieve what I sent away. "

What he said was a bit exaggerated, but Shade knew that Priest August had always been a very cautious person. However, the outsider did not immediately care about who this special ability could be used on. He asked worriedly:

"This does not sound like a power for normal people. Priest, if you really do this, what price will you pay?"

The old priest waved his hand indifferently:

"You don't have to worry about this. The remains you found certainly didn't just unlock this ability for me. Using this power will make me weak for a long time. Of course it can't be used frequently, but there's nothing else.

But now I have only scratched the surface of this kind of authority that may have been given to angels by the ancient gods, so it is impossible for it to take effect on the ancient ones you mentioned. "

Shade then thought about it:

"This situation is very troublesome. Priest, I'm afraid you really need to use this power...\\n.\\nCan it be effective against evil things like the Paradox Bug?"

The priest nodded firmly:

"That kind of evil thing that is tens of thousands of years old will definitely not work, but if it is an insect born in the past thousand years, it should be okay."

"This kind of power shouldn't be able to directly erase the concept of "paradox insect" now, right? Oh, you don’t have to answer, I know you can’t. So this power can only be effective on a single target? "

This time the priest gave good news:

"Of course it can take effect within a range."

"Then can you send thousands of insects away at once?"

Shade asked again hopefully, and then met the old priest's helpless expression:

"Let me put it this way, I will try my best to help you deal with two digits of bugs at a time. And how many evil things it can be effective against depends on the power level of those individuals."

But this is already remarkable. You must know that when Shade first entered the Vista Grove, in order to deal with the Paradox Bug, the past Adele and the current Miss Isabella had to work together.

Although now because everyone has gradually mastered the characteristics of this evil thing, this bug is no longer invincible, but it is still amazing to send away two digits of bugs at once.

This power of the priest is equivalent to giving Shade a special "steam bomb" on the night of the decisive battle. Although the impact range and destructive power of the bomb after it explodes are still uncertain, at least Shade knows that the upper limit of the bomb's destructive power is very high.

"Tomorrow night is the decisive battle. Priest, how do you want to go to Vista Grove? If we use the relic, we will discuss the time."

He planned to go to Miss Danister to borrow relics from the college, but the old priest shook his head again:

"If I just use this power, I don't need to go to the Vista Grove. I can cast spells remotely. This is not thaumaturgy, this is the authority of the angel of death. And once I use this power, I will immediately be very weak. I can’t help you anymore, so I might as well stay here.”

Shade had no problem with this:

"Then I'll trouble you, it's better this way. If I'm not in the forest, the ancients in the forest won't be able to predict what I'm going to do...\\n.\\n..\\n. Then how should I contact you to confirm the details? What about the timing of casting the spell?"
