Chapter 2967 Grandfather Paradox and Anthony's Story
[Are you so proactive this time? ]
After hearing what Shade said, Miss Orlanod, who was being stared at by him, blushed a little, but the witches of the Fifth Era were much bolder than those of the Sixth Era:
"Not only Huang Yue, but you also want Violet, right?"
As he spoke, he also laughed, and Xia De also smiled. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Xia De said:
"Long time no see, Miss Olanord."
"It's been a long time since we last met, Xia De. When you look at the yellow moon of this era, have you ever thought of me?"
Xiwei and Jialina, holding their wine glasses, stood together and looked at the two people in the distance. The witch with beautiful long wavy hair nudged the Duchess with her elbow:
"This should still be considered a public place, right? I think the two of them are about to get close to each other."
"do you have any opinion?"
"What can I say? But it feels like someone has come to our territory and is kissing and biting the lambs we hunted."
"Only a lioness would describe it that way."
Karina said that she certainly didn't care about that. After all, kissing and biting the lamb was nothing, she had already swallowed the lamb alive. Now that she had obtained the prey, it would be meaningless to just smell it.
Shad actually still has things to do tonight. Miss Danister has brought enough Sand of Time, so he can go to the "Time Transfer Station" again.
However, the arrival of Miss Orlanod and the return of Emilia made him want to postpone the matter for another night, but the gentle ancient moon witch insisted that Shade do the real work:
"If you stayed, I'd probably stand here and talk to you all night."
"It is not good?"
Her smile became softer:
"Of course that's fine, but give me some time to chat with others. For example, I haven't seen Miss Elither for a long time."
Obviously, the boat girl should live in the end of the Fifth Era, the same era as Miss Violet and Theresa, but it seems that everyone knows her:
"There are also teachers and Miss Danister Gustave, whom Fiona and I mentioned. Emilia also introduced her to us. Is she your teacher in this era? She is also a librarian, right? I have seen her just now. The red moon is indeed charming and too young.
Fate and time also favor her, right? The time curse did appear in the Fifth Era, but throughout history, I have never heard of anyone who could stay forever eighteen years old because of the time curse. Even the Witch Emperor couldn't stand this temptation."
More than one person has said something similar, of course, the first one was Miss Owl.
Shade then turned his head and looked at the red-haired girl, who was now beside Emilia, talking to Grandma Kisara with a serious expression. It had been so long since she turned eighteen, and if she had a temperament that didn't match her age at first, then the current Danister Gustav looked like an eighteen-year-old in every way.
Miss Danister noticed Shade's gaze and looked up at him. But their eyes separated immediately after they met. Her rose-red eyes didn't want Shade to look into her soul at this moment. She also wanted to talk to the ancient witch.
Therefore, Xia De became the only one who could not participate in this grand banquet, and even Mia would not go out with him.
In the end, Luvia, Flora, and Miss Eliza saw him off on the deck. Luvia asked Shade to get in touch with the masked man so that she could use divination to find out his identity. Flora smiled and said:
"We'll remember to save you one last piece of dessert."
They waved at Shad together, and then saw Shad jump onto the dock and disappear into the woods, looking back every few steps.
The snow that had lasted for the whole day had stopped at some point, but the forest had already turned silvery white. The small silver wolf would not even leave deep footprints when walking through the forest, but the silent night seemed to be brewing more unknown dangers.
When the silver wolf looked up at March in the night sky, he inevitably thought of the gray wolf who really chased the moon at night. The stranger had met many people who worshipped the moon in this world, but the gray wolf witch was the most special.
Although she worships the moon, she is not bound by faith. In Xia De's opinion, the purest and simplest faith is the most pious faith.
Nothing happened along the way, and when Xia De entered the city, it was very peaceful.
Thanks to the small size of Vista City, the snow on the main roads in the city has been basically cleared. However, after the melted snow water froze overnight, Xia De believed that people traveling tomorrow morning must be very careful.
He used the black invitation in the alley of the old city. This time, he carefully sensed the invitation when it was pasted on the wall. When he saw the invitation melt into the wall and form a dark door, he was almost certain that the hole in front of him was also opened by the Tree Hole Curse, as he had already mastered the "Tree Hole Curse".
In other words, the time transfer station located in the "frozen time" is actually the "stagnant" space-time in the tree hole.
"But the space created by the Tree Hole Curse does not have the function of connecting different points in time."
After passing through the black door, Shad entered the dim "Accordion Hotel" again. He thought that this gathering was only opened because of his deal with the "Masked Man", but after entering, he found that in addition to Bennett behind the counter, there was another person sitting at the table. Of course, this was not Anthony Winslet, whom Shad was nominally looking for.
Xia De should be the last one to arrive, because the black door behind him closed automatically after he entered. After he sat down, the masked man holding the kerosene lamp first walked towards the woman sitting at the table:
"Are you sure you want to go back in time and kill your grandfather as a child?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
The next step was the familiar signing of the contract. During this time, the woman didn't pay any attention to Shade at all. After signing the contract, she walked straight up the stairs without looking back. Shade noticed that she was also a ring sorcerer, but her level was not high.
"Killing her young grandfather through time travel means that her mother will not be born, and thus she will not be born either. But if she is not born, no one will kill her grandfather. This is an unimaginable paradox. Can she really succeed?"
Xia De waited until the woman completely disappeared before asking. The kerosene lamp was then placed on the table in front of him, and the masked man sat down.
"Of course not. I even bet that it was because of her behavior that her grandfather and grandmother met, and thus her mother was born."
"Have you told her about this?"
"Of course, I gave her a full warning, but sometimes people's obsessions can affect our clarity of mind."
"So what will be her ending? Will she die in an accident that she planned because of the mockery of fate? Or will she disappear completely in time because of the punishment of time?"
Shade asked again, but the masked man did not answer this time:
"Did you bring the Sands of Time?"
"of course."
Xia De placed the briefcase on the table. After opening it, there were ten neatly arranged hourglasses inside. Each hourglass contained a standard unit of silver sand. The most basic use of [Sand of Time] is to affect the flow of time after throwing it out. This effect also affects the user himself, so its use value is not high, and it is mostly used by people for research.
The masked man took a quick inspection and confirmed that the purity and quantity of the Sand of Time were sufficient. He then closed the lid of the box and tried to take it away. However, Shade pressed down on the box, staring at the faceless mask:
"I brought what you wanted, but where's Anthony Winslet?"
"You want to see him now?"
"Of course not now. I don't know the specific background yet. Now, you have to at least tell me his story."
"Well."
The masked man loosened the handle of the box:
"Last time I mentioned that Winslet first appeared here in the spring of 1844, and it was two months later that he made up his mind to leave 'the present'. His story is not special. It is not about regaining love, escaping reality, longing for adventure, or seeking wealth. He wants to save people."
"Like that person just now, do you also want to change history?"
"No, he just wanted to find his childhood playmate. Of the two who strayed into the forest, only one returned alive, and the other disappeared. He had stopped caring about it, but after coming to this city in 1844, he unexpectedly found traces of his missing childhood playmate."
"He wants to find the missing child?"
"He wants to kidnap the missing child. As long as he goes back to that night and takes the child away at the right time, history will not change. The missing person will still be missing, but he can take care of the child until he grows up and have him reappear in 1844."
The masked man asked Xiang Xiade:
"Can you understand what I say?"
Shade raised his eyebrows:
"Of course I understand. Since it has not been observed, even if it has already happened, it is still possible. He does not want to change history, but to create... No, to complete history?"
This is somewhat similar to what Shade did in the Fifth Age, except that what he did was allowed by the Tree Father, and he himself would be regarded as a person of that time and space when he entered that time and space, so no matter what he did, it would not cause a paradox.
"It's a bit too arrogant to say that he is completing history. History is the story of time, and no one can actively choose history. Although his approach can be regarded as a perfect cycle of time, it will definitely cause other problems. He went to this time point in the winter of 1819. Dear guest, do you want to set off now?"
