Chapter 2706 The Third Paradox Bug
The twisted tree hole has been cut off, but the matter is not over yet, because the soul sacrificed by York Bronte is still in the coffin.
Because he was not sure whether the coffin lid would break directly after the sword was drawn, Xia De left the sword where it was for the time being and then blew the butterfly-calling flute.
In the melodious flute sound, accompanied by snowflakes and green dots of light, crimson butterflies came from nowhere. The butterflies turned into two torrents and intertwined with each other. They circled around Shad's waist clockwise and counterclockwise respectively, and then turned into Grace and Helen in front of him.
"Good afternoon, sir!"
The girls in the white and black skirts smiled and greeted each other, then said to the other two:
"Good afternoon, Miss Bei Yasi~Good afternoon, Miss Emilia Sienord of the Yuexi Clan."
Emilia had seen the Red Butterfly Twins during the Battle of Moon Bay, so they knew each other. Iluna nodded in response, and the blonde elf didn't even bother to refute this time.
"Sir, I haven't seen you for two weeks. Is things so busy here in Vista Grove?"
Helen held Shad's hand, and Shad hugged the two sisters apologetically:
"I have been busy with various things recently. Grandma Cassandra should have told you about what is happening here."
"Yes, yes, you are always busy. So why did you come to us this time?"
“This coffin.”
He briefly explained the origin of the coffin and hoped that the two sisters could stabilize the spatial turbulence in it so that Shad could find the part of Bronte's soul that she had donated.
This wasn't difficult, as "death" "space" was the easiest thing for the two sisters to deal with, but they checked it out and gave one good news and one bad news.
"The good news is, if you're just looking for a broken soul, it's pretty easy to find."
As sister Grace spoke, she let a red butterfly from her fingertips fly into the coffin.
"The bad news is that although the craftsmanship of this coffin is very sophisticated, it took too long, and more than one person tried to break the remaining seal violently. Now the situation of this thing is very complicated, and we can't repair it in a few minutes."
Helen in the black dress said, and at this time the red butterfly had already flown out of the coffin, followed by an extremely illusory transparent figure. He looked very similar to York Bronte, or this was the difference between a person in middle age and youth.
"found it!"
Grace said with a smile, and Helen continued to add:
"Sir, I'm afraid we'll have to take this coffin back to Middleburg for repairs, which will take about half a week. But we can also deal with the other remaining souls inside and let them stay in the narrow space between life and death."
"Okay, thank you for your help. I'm sorry I haven't visited you lately because I've been busy."
This time nothing went wrong, and the third paradox worm was indeed living in the fragment of Theodore Bronte's soul.
This time, there was no Sister Devlin demanding that the bugs must be burned, and with the Chosen Ones of Space and Balance present, apart from the Chocobos being a little frightened, there was no danger in dealing with the Paradox Bugs.
When Shade tried to use the [Ocarina of Time] to perform the "Ancient Elves' Stability Principle", he found that the damage effect of the magic was even more obvious than that of the [Staff of Yggdrasil]. However, if this magic was only used to stabilize time, the staff would be more effective.
In short, although the third paradox worm also reached the second stage of growth, it was still successfully defeated, and its shell was recovered by the elf girl to make the paradox worm potion.
Grace and Helen took the coffin back to Middleburg and gave it to Shade after it was repaired next week. This way, Shade would have one more precious space alchemical item. And Bronte's incomplete soul, after touching the frozen soul core, was spontaneously absorbed into it, which could be considered as the realization of the integrity of the soul.
Shad originally wanted to send the soul back to Tobesk, but since the soul is now complete, there might be a possibility of reading the memory, so he temporarily gave the soul to the elf girl for safekeeping, and he would come back to get it tomorrow morning.
In this way, Shad ended his adventure in Vista Woodlands this Saturday. After saying goodbye to Emilia, who refused to admit that she was Emilia, he invited Grace and Helen to his home for dinner, and the two sisters of course readily agreed.
The group of four returned to St. Teresa's Square. Because it took a lot of time to deal with the coffin in the woods, it was already 6:30 in the evening when they walked out of the basement of their home.
It was Saturday night, so in addition to Luvia, who had recently moved in, Dorothy was also here. Luvia seemed to have guessed that it was definitely not just Iluna who came back with Shade, so she ordered more food at the restaurant outside.
The family of six enjoyed dinner together in the restaurant. After dinner, while the writer went to wash the dishes and Iluna explained what happened in the evening to the fortune teller, the Red Butterfly sisters took Shade to the bedroom and spent a long time together before leaving.
Of course, Shad felt that this was Luvia and Dorothy giving them the time.
However, Shad didn't just need to attend classes that night. After dinner, he first sent Iluna back to the apartment, and on the way back, he stopped by the Church of Dawn.
The priest didn't dare to let Shade take out the things in the church, so he took him to the basement potion workshop of the church facing the street:
"Eyeball? It looks like the right eye. Oh, that's why I was wondering why the skeleton could move this time. You know, eyes in mysticism have a different meaning from other parts of the body. This is also true for the remains of angels."
The priest took the eyeball in his hand and pulled out the wooden stake. The power of the eyeball was still stable. He smiled and said to Shade:
"If someone has the courage to implant this eyeball into himself like Joey Barton did, then it will become the most terrifying magic eye in history. Whoever is killed will only be its basic ability."
"Priest, stop joking. I don't believe anyone can afford such a heavy death curse.
But, are there other remains that are not skeletal? I always thought that angel remains were all bones."
The priest smiled and shook his head:
"Except for the left eye, everything else is bone."
He looked at the right eye in his palm again:
"Don't you want to repair an item that was shattered by the power of this right eye? Now that you have the right eye back, I can make targeted preparations. This requires the power of the relic, plus the potion I prepared. Give me three days, and I will give you the results in three days."
The last activation of the time key to the "Black Sand Pier" will not be until next Monday, so even a three-day delay is not much time. Then Shade talked to the priest about the final fate of the dead apostles. The priest was not surprised that Shade was able to defeat him, but after hearing him say that the other party's soul was frozen, he gave his own thoughts:
"It's not easy to extract the memory of this pure soul core. Since you said you have friends who are proficient in soul power, I don't need to help you. But your plan to offer the soul to the old gods is a very smart move. This special soul may cause trouble even after entering death.
The Dead Apostles don't appear easily, and once they do, it's a big deal. You were lucky to be able to deal with it so easily."
"It's not easy. Well, priest, I'll wait for your good news. But now that you have this eyeball, have you gained any interesting powers related to the eyes? For example, seeing the date of someone's death or something like that."
The old priest laughed again:
"Detective, seeing the coming of death is not a very powerful skill. What is really powerful is to see the end. After all, death is sometimes not the end, but the only real end. Once you step over it, there is really no turning back."
When Shad returned home, Luvia had gone to the third floor to stargaze, leaving time and space for Dorothy. So this week's "class" continued, but before class, "Teacher Dorothy" mentioned the topic of "Eternal Fire Seal":
"Where on earth do you want to leave that mark?"
She asked with a smile to Shad who was petting the cat. Because Shad had not come into contact with Chocobo today, the petty cat had not smelled the scent of other creatures, so it behaved quite well tonight, wagging its tail while accepting Shad's petting.
"Right arm."
Xia De said without hesitation:
"I can't control where you and Leicia transfer the mark afterwards, but at least I want to make my attitude clear."
The blonde girl smiled happily and was looking forward to seeing how Shade would react when the two of them became one on "Red Butterfly Day" next week and he saw two symmetrical moon prints.
Not much important was discussed in the group meeting that Xia De missed today, so after talking about Yueyin, they started the course directly.
The study of the fairy tale "Crystal Light" has been going on for more than half a month. In addition to learning the magic [Crystal Touch] and letting Shad know multiple versions of the story, Dorothy even persuaded Vanessa to help and let the Golden Dawn Opera Company, which is performing in Tobesk, rehearse this relatively unpopular drama in preparation for the performance on the Day of the Red Butterfly next Thursday.
As for today, Dorothy brought some very remarkable things:
"Look~"
She put the suitcase she brought with her on the table and opened it, revealing a series of crystal products, including crystal dolls, crystal animals, crystal flower specimens, eight in total.
"Dorothy, you don't want to tell me that these are crystals created by the Crystal Touch?"
Shade asked in surprise, and Dorothy nodded:
"I knew you would guess it. Yes, I said that in the early days of the Sixth Era when order was still relatively chaotic, many criminals used this magic to transform living people or rare animals into crystals and kept them.
Because these unique crystals are not affected by the passage of time and are almost impossible to restore, the crystal collections of criminals have been passed down to this day."
