Chapter 2897 Wishes, Wisdom and Destiny
"roar~"
"You said that your second wish is to ensure that this piece of wood will never be damaged? Eternal memory is indeed worth cherishing, but this is not a wish that can be easily realized. After all, this tree hole is related to..."
The blue giant's eyes turned in a circle in its eye sockets. At a certain moment, Shade even thought it was looking outside the screen:
"But it's not impossible. Go to the forest and find an ancient one, and tell him that you want the power of the World Tree to seal this wooden board. If you are willing to serve it and become its branch, then it will be willing to help you.
With the ancient god's sealing power, the good guys won't destroy it easily, and the bad guys won't be able to destroy it either. The price this time is still one-third of your current wisdom."
"So it was the remains of the World Tree that sealed this tree hole? It can still use the power of miracles?"
Dorothy found this incredible, but Shad thought it was normal. After all, the divinity might be in the hands of the other party.
"roar~"
The black dragon beast roared for the third time, and it did not hesitate to say its third wish.
"Third wish, do you hope that I can make the descendants of this corpse healthy and strong, as well as have an endless supply of wealth?"
A look of surprise appeared on its face:
"No problem. Although this wish includes two things, it's no problem. This is the wish I hear most often. It's rare to make such a wish for others. Your wisdom is beyond my imagination. I can promise you, but the price is the last third of your wisdom. After that, you will become a beast with only instincts. No, you will probably be smarter than ordinary beasts.
You who were born in the snow, are you willing to give up the only gift that fate has given you?"
"roar~"
The dragon beast looked up and called out to it, then lowered its head back onto the man's coffin.
"You said that this man is the gift that fate gave you?"
The blue giant laughed. Although he didn't laugh out loud, his expression was undoubtedly mocking:
"Do you really think it was just a coincidence that he ran into you in the woods?"
It wagged its finger:
"So even if you have unique wisdom, you are still just someone else's pawn. I can't tell you too much, but the people in this town encounter tree holes so frequently. Is it also a fate that follows one after another? He was guided by someone and happened to find you that summer. And your egg traveled through time before it broke because of a similar reason."
"Time stands still! Finally, I heard the crucial information!"
"Shad! Go find this demon! We need to know who has been leading people in this town to contact the tree hole! The demon knows, it knows what's going on here!"
Luvia raised her voice uncontrollably:
"Whether it's the tree itself or it's controlling the human spokesperson, we have to find it! This is more important than killing that black dragon beast!"
"Luvia, don't be so excited. Everyone wants to see the rest of the story."
The picture continues to flow:
"roar~"
"Perhaps you are right. Even if someone arranged for him to meet you, I admit that he was willing to take care of you and gave you that name out of his own heart. No problem, the deal is done. Next, I will take away your wisdom and guide you to find the ancient one in the forest who sealed the tree hole.
As for your third wish, that's too simple. I will share your blood with the descendants of this man, so that they can have the blood of the dragon. As for wealth, how about dragon dung? Although you are not a pure-blooded black dragon, the signs of your bloodline reversion are obvious, and those humans should not mind these. "
After saying this, the Giant rubbed his hands impatiently:
"Then I will take the price!"
"roar~"
"You also want the plank and key you exchanged for your wisdom to be delivered to your cabin? What a weird request! Could it be that the pursuit of ritual sense is really linked to the level of wisdom?"
The giant agreed to the black monster's request, and its blue hand stretched out towards the other's head. The sad monster lay there without any resistance, and even the head placed on the coffin slowly closed its eyes.
The flowing light and shadows fell into darkness, and then even the darkness disappeared. The light and shadows completely dissipated, and the slightly glowing wooden board on the table returned to normal. The key inserted into the "door" also popped out and fell on the table with a plop.
Miss Elither controlled the lights in the room to return to normal, and then Shad discovered that a group of maids had gathered at the door, but they quickly dispersed.
After the lights came back on, the stranger suddenly felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then realized that it was like watching an immersive movie in his hometown:
"This is much more interesting than the opera."
Thinking in his heart, he smiled and said to Xi Wei beside him:
"It's a pity that Vanessa is not here, otherwise we could ask her if Hillis can create such a story by sealing the memory."
"Memory is a first-person perspective, but this is a third-person perspective."
Xiwei reminded, picking up the teacup on the table:
"So this is the story of the black dragon? I thought it was just a crazy enemy, but I didn't expect there was such a story behind it. A dragon egg abandoned in the snow traveled through time and came a thousand years later. It was taken care of and hatched by a kind-hearted human. After the human died, it gave up its unique wisdom in order to have its story recorded and take care of the human's offspring.
So, the Jindel family should have known this story at first, but somehow they kept the key and the board separately later."
The sentimental little princess held her face and said:
"Perhaps for it, after the only person in the world who cared about it died, it no longer needed to use wisdom to understand the world."
Shade touched Mia beside him. He was also quite moved by the story, but the dragon had to be destroyed anyway:
"I will try to find the [Reward for Greed]. Flora, I would like to trouble you to investigate again. When the Jindel family first moved to the town, who in the town had a better relationship with them."
This was a very troublesome thing, but the Great Witch of Death nodded anyway.
"There is also the Dragon's Nest. When the dragon was flying in the sky holding the coffin just now, its specific trajectory should be able to be depicted."
Granny Cassandra reminded:
"Since Vanessa has been exploring the terrain of the forest and recording the direction of the mineral veins recently, when she comes back, let her try to find the dragon beast's lair."
"But you need to bring more people. I originally thought that the dragon had died a long time ago, so the 'Watchmaker' could only find it in the past. But now it seems that it is not certain. If Vanessa really wants to go, she must tell me in advance."
When Shad stood up from the table, Mia took a run and climbed up his arm to his shoulder. Ajelina seemed very moved by the story, but the stranger who had seen too many stories in her hometown was not so deeply moved.
If there was only one thought that this story gave him, it was probably that if he died before Mia, the cat would probably be even sadder than the dragon just now.
"Meow~"
"In short, we have found the trick to defeat the Paradox Worm-Watcher, and there is a way to cut off its immortality. And the story of the black dragon has become clear, and defeating it is also not impossible.
Now there are four seats for Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, and only the last one, Water, has not yet found its target, but I think the target will appear soon. The tree wants to break free from the seal, and I guess it wants to borrow the power of the chosen one. Emilia will be back next week, and then everything will probably come to an end. "
The emergence of new clues made everyone even busier. Although Shade had no way to find the devil in the bottle, he guessed that the doctor should have a way. The doctor and the devil had been together for so long in Green Lake, Shade didn't believe that the doctor let it go without leaving any means behind.
However, Xia De did not go into the woods to look for a doctor in broad daylight. Instead, he planned to go there at night and check on how the doctor's ceremony was prepared.
So this Sunday morning, he returned to Tobesk. To crack the immortality of the "Watcher", Sister Defulin was one way, but the power of Priest Augustus could not be ignored.
Sunday is a traditional Sunday, and churches in large parishes like Tobesk are of course very busy. However, there has been no major news in the capital of the North in recent times. The most talked about thing this week is still the "mutual slaughter" among the royal family members of the South.
There was an endless stream of believers going to the Dawn Church to worship. Shade, who came with Mia, followed the crowd into the church and was grabbed by the sharp-eyed Bishop Owen:
"Detective Hamilton, thank you so much for your donation! It's a huge help!"
The old bishop smiled as he spoke. Shade hesitated for a moment before he remembered that when he took the "Angel Elixir" last time, he stuffed the treasures of the Hoy family to Priest Augustus. He didn't expect the priest to cash in the gold so quickly. He guessed that he had gone through Old John's way.
Although Old John's fees may be a bit high, he is very fast as long as the money is paid:
"Reverend Augustus used my name to donate? I mean, it's nothing. I'm a bachelor and I don't need to spend that much. You know, I won a lot of money at the city riding competition at the beginning of the year, and I also added bets outside the field. Ahem, I mean I helped solve many big cases this year, and the reward will only rot if it is placed in the bank."
Of course, the treasures of the Hoy family were priceless. Although Father Augustus wanted to make Shade famous, he only donated part of it in Shade's name, and donated more anonymously in batches. After all, no matter how profitable the detective industry is, donating hundreds of thousands of pounds at once is a bit too exaggerated.
