Chapter 2592 Elf Antique Arrow
Shad just watched the young lovers "talking on paper", but until the conversation ended and little Cumming said goodbye to his lover and left the room, the so-called "passageway" did not appear.
This time, Xia De did not follow him. Instead, he took out the locked book after he left and placed the time key against the door on the cover of the book.
So the key was inserted directly into the book:
"That's fine. This book itself is made of wood, so the existence form of the Time Tree Hole, besides the most primitive form of 'tree hole', can it also be made of wood?"
Then I thought of what the cabinets, wooden doors, and the cover of this book have in common:
"There needs to be a concept of 'gate'. May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
With a slight twist, the lock turned with a click.
[Stranger, you opened a "twisted tree hole." ]
[Tips from the Father of Infinite Tree:]
[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1802 of the sixth era of the present world. ]
[Note that any life other than you who uses this channel will be cursed by time.]
[Note: You can enter the past twenty minutes through this abnormal channel. After the time is up, you must return through this channel.]
[Note: After using the key to open the door twice, the passage will completely collapse.]
橱柜连接了三个不同时间1698、1763和1814，木门连接了1821，而这本书则只连接1802年。
“It’s really a love that transcends time.”
Xia De didn't know what to say for a moment.
But he hasn't decided whether to take the book away. The witch has already found out that Baron Cumming's mother's name is Erica Cumming, and he has observed that little Cumming is Sir Cumming's father. So in the past, little Cumming must complete the task of "making Erica Cumming pregnant" in order to close the time loop.
Time in the material world has spontaneous error-correcting properties. If little Cumming does not complete the task now and Shad takes the book away, little Cumming will sooner or later get it back or even find another tree hole.
So taking the book away might get him into trouble, and the best way was to confirm whether the actual lover of Cumming's nominal grandmother was pregnant in 1802, and then make a decision.
[So are we heading to 1802 now? ]
Twenty minutes is actually a very short time, and even if you set out it is just a short journey.
"Should we tell Miss Danister and the others? I don't think there will be any danger, but... huh?"
Xia De suddenly covered his chest and groaned, then turned his head in surprise and looked towards the window:
"The 'Moon Thorn' I set up near the wooden door I found yesterday has been broken!"
This magic will only be automatically lifted when the next night falls, and the slight backlash he felt now was clearly caused by violent cracking:
"Miss Danister is disobedient and wants to use the door alone? No, Miss Danister knows that once the thorn bush is forcibly broken, I will definitely sense it. Even if she wants to explore the door without telling me, she will never break it violently like this."
Outside the window is the azure blue sky and the soft, white clouds that look like cotton candy in the autumn morning. The window faces the direction of the Accordion Hotel in the city center:
"It looks like something's wrong, but isn't Miss Adele Isabella over there? What are they doing?"
He turned his head to look at the notebook on the desk, stuffed it back into the drawer to restore it to its original state, then jumped out of the window, but quickly jumped back into the window.
Grasping the windowsill with one hand, Xia De looked at the decoration hanging on the head of the bed in disbelief.
23-year-old James Cumming is quite tasteful. There are five "cross" symbols formed by 10 crossed arrows as decoration on the head of his bed, and there are photo frames hanging between the arrows.
Although Shade glanced at the room after entering it, his attention was mostly on James Cumming and the book. When he was about to leave, he glanced at it again and saw something extraordinary:
"This is... How come it is here?"
The ten arrows were not all the same in style, but this difference and asymmetry made the wall more beautiful. The shape of one of the arrows looked very familiar to Shade, and it was clearly the "antique elf arrow" that the mysterious elf in the forest asked him to find.
He walked to the wall and lightly took down the wooden arrow. He confirmed that the arrowhead was indeed engraved with ancient elven runes, but the arrow itself seemed to be just an ordinary item:
"What a coincidence! Why did we find the arrow here?"
Thinking about this, he took out the model of the "Antique Elf Arrow" that the Elf in the Forest had given to Shade when he and Miss Winslet went to investigate the old Bennett house. Except that the model was slightly heavier and the wood used for the model was different from that of the "Antique Elf Arrow", the two were almost exactly the same.
Although Shad didn't take the book because he was worried about the stability of time, he didn't have so many concerns about the arrow.
The real antique elf arrow was turned into a toy and put away, and the model arrow was hung on the wall again. Then he leaped and turned into a red butterfly and landed on the roof across the street. The silver cat jumped quickly between the roofs. Even if the real Isabella was in the Accordion Hotel, he couldn't just leave Miss Danister alone.
When Xia De stood downstairs of the Accordion Hotel, the Golden Music Avenue was still full of people. Looking up, everything was normal in the hotel, and it was hard to tell that something had happened there.
The badge on Shade's chest was not very hot at this time. Not to mention the high temperature when the two witches appeared at the same time, it was not even as hot as when Miss Winslet appeared alone. At most, it was only at the level of a witch apprentice nearby:
"Are they out?"
I couldn't sense any abnormal elements or traces of spirits outside the hotel, and I didn't feel anything after climbing the stairs.
But when Shade used the "space perception aura" to determine the spatial structure, he found that Miss Danister's room 317 and Miss Winslet's room 321 were all blank in his perception. It was not that some force blocked his perception of the room, but that the two rooms did not exist in space.
"Sure enough, something happened."
When we arrived at the third floor, the entire corridor was filled with a thin layer of mist, which was somewhat like the cold mist wafting out of a newly opened cold storage. However, ordinary people walking in the corridor at this time did not seem to notice this abnormality.
The doors of the two ladies were closed. The witch apprentice Miss Charlotte Bell and another lady whose name Shade could not remember stood in front of the door of Room 321 and saw Shade immediately:
"This way!"
Xia De walked over quickly and found that the abnormal white mist was coming from the gaps in the doors of Room 321 and Room 317.
"The young lady entered the room with the gentleman, and everything was normal. At about 10:10, the young lady asked me to change a pot of tea, and when I came back, it became like this."
The black-haired witch apprentice shook the door handle:
"We couldn't open the door at all. I asked the others to spread out around the hotel, and the outside world couldn't observe any abnormalities here. We tried to break through the walls from the left and right and the rooms above and below, but after breaking through the walls and ceiling, a space filled with white fog appeared. No one dared to go in."
In order not to attract attention, she did not let everyone here. Standing next to her was a lady with a high appearance.
"Isabella is in there too?"
"Yes."
Miss Charlotte Bell nodded quickly, not caring that Shad didn't use any honorifics.
Shade then reached out and grasped the door handle, and tried using the "Door Key", but found that the magic didn't work at all. This could only mean that the door in front of him was no longer a door, and therefore no longer had the concept of a "lock".
"Since Miss Winslet and the lady entered room 321, what about room 317?"
Xia De asked again, and Miss Bell shook her head quickly:
"Not sure. The three ladies were talking together in Room 317."
It took her only a second to decide whether to leak the information about the ladies' conversation:
"The lady in Room 317 and my teacher originally wanted to persuade the lady to help them travel through time again without any cost, but the lady refused and asked them to sober up. Then the lady tried to break the curse. Because she was worried that the curses of the two people would affect each other, she took the teacher to Room 321 first.
When I noticed something was wrong with room 321, I immediately went to room 317 for help, and then I found that door couldn’t be opened either.”
The black-haired girl grabbed Shade's hand. Her hand was obviously colder than that of an ordinary person.
"Sir, the lady asked you to stay for lunch. If you don't agree, we will have no explanation."
After the guest behind him walked down the stairs, Xia De asked again:
"Did the fog on both sides come out at the same time?"
The fog was still quite thin at this time, and most of it settled close to the floor of the corridor. Miss Bell, who let go of Shade's hand, and the lady with ten rings were both startled:
"Sorry, what fog?"
"You can't see it? Wait a moment."
Xia De lowered his head and took a deep breath, then held it, allowing the mist sucked into his body to be fully felt. Two or three seconds later, "she" whispered softly:
[It is impossible to discern the composition of this fog. This is not real fog, but the effect of time on space after some kind of time confusion.]
"Then I understand."
As he spoke, he took out the time key Miss Danister had given him yesterday and was about to point it at the door of Room 321, but then he remembered that there was a lady inside that he couldn't see:
"Miss Winslet is in high security with the lady around her, so I'll go to 317 to check the situation."
He explained to the two ladies beside him, and although they all wanted Shade to deal with Miss Winslet's situation first, they also knew that he had a point.
