Chapter 3025 The Battle of Vesta Grove Begins

Being able to get extra coins before the decisive battle is the best news, Luvia asked:

"Xia De, do you want to use it now or keep it?"

"Leave it for now. Thomas Bennet's problem is almost not a problem, but I'm not sure if we can successfully find the clockmaker. Besides, there will be a series of troublesome things going on when we go deep into the forest, so I'll keep the coin as a backup."

Luvia nodded slightly, then smiled and asked:

"Didn't you and Miss Olanold do anything else except sleep in the stargazing room last night?"

Shade pretended to be innocent and said:

"Louvia, is this the time to discuss this kind of thing? We need to separate business and private matters. How could I be in such a mood before the war?"

"But why do I feel that this is your private matter? Today everyone is talking about how bold the ancient witch is. Okay, okay, I'll just leave this topic alone. In short, be careful tonight. After dealing with the things in the city, we will go back temporarily. Rest on the boat before setting off for the woods.”

She sighed softly:

"We have been through so many things, so I won't say anything like pay attention to safety this time. But you have to remember that there are still many people waiting for you to go home, so pay attention to safety. You see, I still said it."

Shade understood what she meant and gave Luvia a hug.

Lecia was brought by Grace and Helen at three o'clock that afternoon. Since this morning, the two sisters have sensed that the time and space situation in the forest is getting out of control. They are worried that in the evening, the forest and the outside world will be completely blocked due to the difference in time flow, so they picked up Lesia in advance.

Although the red-haired princess has been staying in Tobesk, she is much more familiar with things on the ship than Margaret because of Dorothy.

When she boarded the ship, it happened that Miss Bell had just led people to deliver the supplies sent to the [Witch Council] by the Orthodox Church to the ship. The most critical ones are of course not the batch of magical weapons and No. 2 holy water puree, but the Holy Emblem Medals that can trigger tonight's magical ceremony and allow the attacks of the Ring Warlocks to penetrate the Paradox Insect's defense.

The witches themselves do not believe in the five righteous gods, so everyone distributed the medals according to their own preferences. Shade casually took one and threw it to Lesia. After catching it, the red-haired princess opened her arms and hugged Shade. Then she said hello to her sister beside her, and then mentioned to Shade this " "Red Butterfly Day" officially begins from now on:

"If this battle ends early, when your rest time after the war is over, no matter how many people still extend invitations to you, you must remember that it is Dorothy and I's time."

She then kissed Shade passionately, and then she let Agelina take her to find Dorothy and the Red Butterfly sisters.

Shade liked girls with Lecia's personality, who had personal feelings but could always handle other things properly. Thinking about it carefully, this Red Butterfly Day was supposed to be held on the last day of last month, but it was already the eighth day of the Frost Moon. Delaying it for so long was indeed a slight to them.

At 3:20 in the afternoon, the girls on the ship drank the last glass of wine before the war with Shade in the banquet hall. Then the Shining Messenger left a mirror clone on Lake Ulen, set sail and flew into the air, and then disappeared in In the heavy snow under the deep night sky.

At 3:40 in the afternoon, the eight great witches on the ship had their last pre-war communication with the other five great witches in the parliament. Speaker Isabella has temporarily stopped processing the seal of the black mausoleum at the southern end of the old continent, and is ready to support at any time outside the Vista Woodland.

After all, all the power of the council cannot be invested in the forest at once. Now that Vanessa has announced to others the big news that she has been promoted to the thirteenth level, it is most reasonable to have a thirteenth level witch inside and outside the forest.

At exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, the fused Butterfly Wing Girl and Sylvia finally gave up the idea of ​​building portals inside and outside the city. The poor time and space environment made this approach quite dangerous. However, the batch of "return charms" they made have been completed. This kind of charm Sylvia made during the Battle of Green Lake allows Shade to return to the hotel at any time when operating on Green Island (Chapter 1915).

This time, the "Return Spell" was not only provided with technology by Sylvia and power by Butterfly Wings, but also with the support of Miss Elisa. Therefore, the talisman can allow the girls in the forest to return to the "Brilliant Messenger" at any time, but the talisman is invalid within the city limits.

At 4:27 pm, Sivi, Vanessa and Megan Audrey officially set off for the city. The three of them took away 70% of the high-level sorceresses and one-third of the middle-level sorceresses on the ship, as well as nearly 70% of the "return spells". They will contact the church in the city to determine the resting place and temporary base of the Witch Council in the city, and then they will participate in the city defense battle until Shade and Emilia return from the "Time Transfer Station".

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shade and Amelia, who had made final preparations, also said goodbye to the remaining girls on the deck. Among the four "Holy Swords", Shade took the [Blood Sorrow], Emilia took the [Ocarina of Time], and Xivi and the others who had just set off had already taken away the [Watcher's] immortality in advance. Angel's Right Arm], and [Night Watcher] has been taken away by Carina. After all, Shade is still worried about her leading people to act alone.

There was no need to say any more unnecessary words, and after finally confirming that the [Poem Solitaire] had been put into his pocket, Shade waved goodbye to the girls who saw them off on the deck, and then jumped to the forest sea below with Emilia in his arms.

Luvia stood under the starry sky for a long time without coming back to her senses. It wasn't until Bella pulled her that she turned around and followed the people who stayed on the boat back.

A shadow with flowing long hair flashed past her shadow. The Rapunzel from the past life knew what would happen next, she knew everything. Because she has no ties, she has always been able to deal with local accidents as quickly as possible in the past, but for Shade, who does not want anyone to sacrifice, he may not like the ending of the Woodland War very much.

Vista City, which seemed deserted due to the citywide martial law, brought a slight sense of strangeness to Shade. Although most windows in the dark city are still lit with lights, the indescribable depression and fear in the air cannot be dispelled by the lights.

The light source at the top of the tower of the Golden Music Hall makes it difficult to see even in the deepest alley. But it is this visibility between complete darkness and a little light that best explains the source of the fear of the night that intelligent life continues to this day. where.

After entering the city, Shade and Emilia went directly to the city center and stopped at the entrance of the Accordion Hotel, which was still under seal.

The door was sealed and all the windows were boarded up. The once most famous hotel in the city completely declined without anyone expecting it. Even if it is really acquired by the witches and reopened later, I'm afraid it won't be able to return to its former glory.

Shade and Amelia hid in the alley behind the hotel. After frightening away the wild cat that was futilely searching for food in the trash can, they were the only ones left here.

The little elf squeezed Shade's hand, his face turned pale, he was both excited and nervous. They didn't exchange too many words until six o'clock in the evening. After the ground shook and undulated, the distant booming explosion came belatedly.

The bell tower above the Golden Music Hall rang a series of bells after the continuous explosions in the forest subsided. This represented the official start of martial law at the highest level for local citizens. For the ring warlocks who actively or passively participated in this war, it meant that the final story of Vesta Grove had finally begun.

Smoke and dust were scattered above the forest, and the seismic waves caused by the bomb explosion were first felt by the city, followed by a slightly later sound. A buzzing sound came from the deep pit at the explosion site. At the same time as the first paradox bug flew out of the pit, the college professors responsible for detonating the rune bombs guided the first batch of awakened bugs away. Flying in the direction of the city, more bugs have already opened their eyes underground.

In the alley in the city, Shade whispered to Emilia, who was staring blankly at the air in front of her with her mouth pursed:

"Let's go."

The black invitation proved impossible to open, so Shade reached out and hugged Emilia, and after casting the spell, the two disappeared into the alley.

The next moment, the two figures appeared on the third floor of the hotel. Facing the familiar scene that she had lived in for half a month, Emilia looked a little sad. The bustle of the past is long gone. All the doors on both sides of the corridor are wide open. The mess inside is the last trace left by the witches before they evacuated.

There were no lights, and even the steam pipes for heating had ceased. Although this is not a home, just a place for a short stay, the elf girl still misses this place.

"We have confirmed that the time transfer station is actually located among the remains of the World Tree."

Shade's voice sounded in the darkness, and the two of them were still holding hands:

“Thomas Bennet told me that in fact the entire woodland is on the remains of the World Tree, which is consistent with the background information I learned about the ancient battle.

The time transfer station is actually a tree hole opened with the "Tree Hole Spell". Although its form of existence is very different from the tree hole spell we know, since the principle is the same, the method of opening it should be the same as the normal tree hole spell. There are similarities. "

After explaining this, after the ritual array of the sun, moon and stars under his feet lit up, [The Staff of Yectrasil] appeared in Shade's hand:

"The tree hole opened by the normal tree hole spell can be opened by poking the branch of the tree itself. Emilia, you also know the origin of the staff in my hand. Next, we need to face Thomas. Bennett, in addition to himself, as a participant in the Time War, he will definitely bring in helpers in the end. "

"Yes, Sister Elf has told me."

Emilia tugged on Shade's sleeve:

"The next battle will be mine. After all, the battle of time requires a fair one-on-one battle. Shade, I will not let you down."

"I'll stop any possible helpers for you. Since I didn't ask Miss Olanold to follow me, I will assume her responsibility. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Of all the battles tonight, I am the only one who can help you." I only know that this one will never fail.”

The little elf now had great determination. She took off the crown on her arm and put it on her head. The silver crown became the brightest light source at this time, and the emerald green light added a few green strands to her long golden hair.

The two of them came to the stairs and walked down. When they reached the second floor, the continuous explosions outside the window and the thin white mist above the city announced the official start of the city defense war. The buzzing of insects could not be heard clearly in the hotel, but seeing the golden spherical shield completely covering the city, everyone knew what it meant.

"Emilia."

Shad raised the staff in his hand forward, and the elf nodded slightly and reached out to hold it.

[Staff of Yggdrasil] Although it can only be used by Shad or Luvia, at this moment the black staff and the silver crown resonated. As the two held the staff high and smashed it to the ground like a heavy hammer, the surrounding space stirred up layers of ripples, and the space hidden behind the real hotel showed a door:

"Magic-Key to the Door!"
