Chapter 2705 Cutting off Time and Space
The witch thought that after asking this question, she would be greeted with a long hesitation or a change of subject, but she didn't expect the answer to come quickly and decisively:
"No, he never told me that."
The red-haired girl immediately shook her head. This was something that the two of them knew about tacitly, or rather, she was waiting to see when Xia De would be willing to say it on his own initiative, or when he would let the cat out of the bag passively.
"no"
The witch frowned again, and Danister didn't want her to know the secret so easily, but she didn't want to lie either, so she reminded her:
"He just didn't say whether he was, but I also felt that he was suspected of this."
"Right, right? Look at the moonlight he used, and the power he displayed, which became more and more exaggerated each time."
The lady with gray-brown hair nodded and looked out the window at the snowy city scenery:
"I feel like I'm almost there to figure out all his secrets, Danister, you have to help me. He's your student, don't you want to know everything about him?"
The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl tried hard to hold back her laughter. She began to appreciate her youthful energy.
On the other side, Xia De could also guess that there must be speculation and discussion about his identity in the hotel, but that was something for later. At this moment, he was running in the forest with the help of the magic [Forest Path].
The reason why he didn't just throw the crystal slipper home and then go to the elf girl's hut from home was, of course, because he was carrying a soul with him. He might be able to bring this soul back home through magic, but Shad was unwilling to let this soul tainted with a lot of paradoxes leave Vestal Forest.
Snowflakes were still floating over the entire Vista Forest, and Shade didn't know what consequences this would cause. When he came to the elf's tree house, he found that Iluna was still there.
The group of blue and yellow Chocobos were moving around under the big tree of the Elf Tree House, and Iluna was trying to communicate with the smaller individuals in the group.
"Emilia, can't I really take one and keep it in the apartment? I swear I'll return it when it grows up."
"Of course not. The child cannot leave the colony yet, and doesn't your apartment prohibit pets? And who is Emilia?!"
The elf girl said angrily, but Iluna completely ignored her denial and stroked the petite and cute yellow chocobo with great regret, and the latter also enjoyed her touch.
Then she noticed Xia De's arrival, stood up and said to Xia De with a smile:
"I've already told Luvia and the others that you're fine. Luvia told me to wait for you here, and then go back for dinner together."
In fact, there was a reason why she wanted to see these magical little creatures again. Iluna was originally worried about Emilia because she was going to live alone in the woods, but now she knew that her friend was actually living quite well and didn't even have to worry about exams and classes for the time being.
"Okay, but I need to take care of some things before I go back. Iluna, you happen to be here too, so come and help. I've borrowed the Ocarina of Time, and we'll take care of the tree hole that connected to the brink of life and death in 1787."
He now carries two swords, but fortunately, although they are both angel-level relics, [Night Watcher] and [Ocarina of Time] do not conflict in characteristics, but carrying two angel-level relics at the same time is still a very risky move.
The elf girl did not put the coffin in her tree house, but dug a hole under the tree and buried it on the spot, and called some tree people around to help look after it.
"Yes, I didn't just move here, so of course I've come into contact with those hermits. They saw that I was an elf, so they were kind enough to sell me a lot of things at a low price."
The wooden coffin had not changed much from the last time Xia De saw it in the morning. Since he was going to destroy it permanently, Xia De did not delay.
According to the elf, the Philosopher's Stone, the Sands of Time, and the Long Sword are all ready. Shade then asked the elf girl:
"Look at the Philosopher's Stone in my hand. Do I need to consume it all?"
The blond elf took the red stone and weighed it in his hand:
"This is too much. Only one third is enough."
So Shade summoned the [Staff of Yggdrasil] and held it in his right hand, and took the one-third of the Philosopher's Stone in his left hand. The life ring slowly emerged from behind him, and as the [Time and Space] spirit rune glowed, the Philosopher's Stone in his left hand seemed to be slowly absorbed by his body.
Correspondingly, the black staff whose bottom touched the ground was emitting a dazzling emerald green light:
"Thaumatology - the stability principle of the ancient elves!"
He stabbed the staff heavily into the soil on the ground, and then a green light erupted from the top of the staff. The green light extended upward and together with the staff itself formed the phantom of a thick tree trunk, and then extended in all directions in the air to form an emerald green phantom crown covering the three people and the coffin.
Green dots of light kept falling from the treetops. The nearby Chocobos excitedly ran around trying to catch them. Even Iluna stretched out her hand:
"The Philosopher's Stone's extreme casting is indeed different from ordinary casting. Is this the power of stabilizing time?"
Emilia nodded affirmatively:
"This is the most ancient elven secret art, as old as Shade's Moonfire. Are you going to get another spiritual rune?"
"Of course not, but I was worried just now that you would be sent back because of this magic."
"Why should I be driven back?"
The two of them were arguing while driving away the chocobos that were surrounding them. After Shade released the Staff of Yggdrasil, he poured the gray-white sand of time into his palm.
To be precise, [Sand of Time] is just a derivative of a relic, but it is considered a Keeper-level relic according to its characteristics. This special sand that directly affects the flow of time in a certain area after being thrown out did not trigger its characteristics in Shade's hands. When Shade ignited the flame with the power of the First Fire, the sand began to slowly melt and crystallize.
The elf girl hurriedly picked up the [Ocarina of Time], and after confirming that the group of Chocobos were looking at this place from behind the tree instead of coming over, Iluna also stood next to the coffin to prevent any accidents.
After a full five minutes, the [Sand of Time] was completely melted into molten crystals emitting a blazing light.
"Can this kind of relic be destroyed?"
Iluna asked curiously, and Emilia shook her head hastily:
"That's why we need a special flame. The First Flame is a very powerful thing. It can even burn the World Tree. Why are you looking at me like that? This is what the book at home says. However, the World Tree was not burned by the First Flame. I just said that it can be done, and it needs to be the complete First Flame."
Xia De felt that if these crystals were cooled, this relic would probably undergo different changes, but now was not the time to experiment. After asking Emilia about her next request, he inserted the time key into the coffin with his free hand.
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time!"
But he just chanted the spell without turning the key. As the voice fell, the eight-ring life ring behind the elf girl beside him also appeared. The dark golden light immediately attracted Iluna's attention. She noticed the color, while Shade noticed the content of the spirit rune.
The core spirit runes of the forest elves are the three most common ones: Enlightenment [Eternal Age], Enlightenment [Innocence], and Enlightenment [Nature]. These are exactly Emilia's core spirit runes, and they are also proof of her elf bloodline and "high elf" identity.
Of course the elf girl noticed that the other two were looking at her life ring, but she pretended not to see it. Instead, she took the sword and chopped it at the key that was pierced into the coffin lid with a "Ah~" sound.
There was a snapping sound as if something was broken, but there were no cracks on either Shad's time key or the coffin itself.
But the mist that diffused in the narrow space of time suddenly emerged from the space around the coffin. Without the elf's reminder, Shade pulled out the time key and poured the molten time sand in his hand into the keyhole.
The crackling sound of shattering continued for a long time. Although I could not feel the wind on my body and there was no sign of the snow being blown by the wind, a terrifying whistling sound of wind could be heard from all directions of the woods.
The Chocobos that were peeking out from behind the trees quickly huddled together, with the larger ones on the periphery and the smaller ones in the middle. This is one of the reasons why they have been able to exist since the Fifth Era.
But in fact, nothing happened. It was just that the mist that had just diffused re-entered the keyhole as if time was reversed.
The elf girl breathed a sigh of relief and handed the sword to Shade:
"Give it one last push."
"Is it necessary to destroy the lid of the coffin? I'm worried that this will affect the small space inside the coffin."
"At least destroy the keyhole."
"clear."
He grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed it downwards, with the tip of the sword piercing the keyhole. Then, after the clearest click, all the abnormalities just now disappeared.
The Ocarina of Time pierced the coffin lid, and the sword and the wood of the coffin itself began to glow together. The emerald green light representing trees and life echoed with the Staff of Yggdrasil that was still glowing next to it.
The emerald green light gradually made the old coffin look brand new, and even allowed the three people to see clearly the entire ritual of the sealing ceremony left on it by the ancient thirteenth-level witch.
The green light finally condensed into a solid in front of Shade and turned into a green leaf that was caught by him. This was the first time that Shade obtained the [Leaf of Eternal Youth] outside of the Time Key mission.
[Please note that this leaf can charge any "Twisted Tree Hole": increase its stability; increase the chance of safe use. ]
