Chapter 2605 Restrictive Means
"Of course I am surprised. Also, isn't it blasphemous for mortals to convert the old temple of an ancient **** into a concert hall? I haven't heard of any rumors that concertgoers were struck to death by lightning when they went out. ”
Shad, who was stroking the cat that was drinking milk, stopped suddenly, and Miss Elf waved her hand to tell him not to be so excited:
"It has been so long since the tree father left. It is not considered sacrilegious for mortals to reuse the temple. They did not transform it into a dirty place, but it was elegant to build a concert hall.
I investigated that during the renovation of the ruins half a century ago, workers found some antiques there, so they secretly hid them and sold them separately. Those arrows ended up in Ximu Town during this process, but I can't determine the exact total number of arrows. ”
Xia De already frowned:
"This is really unexpected. Apart from arrows made from branches of the World Tree, what else was discovered together?"
He asked again, but this time the elf just shook his head:
"I don't know. My investigation is very superficial. There are probably some stone slabs and the like. They are found in all ruins.
The arrow you found is the second one I got. I bought the first one at a local thrift store. The owner of the store regarded it as a handicraft and only charged me 13 pfennigs. However, He couldn't tell from whom he bought the arrow. ”
"Are there any further clues for investigation?"
"Of course, if you want to continue the investigation in this area, you can try to find people who participated in the renovation of the ruins.
That happened half a century ago. The workers did not leave their names. Although the church sent people to supervise the project, it was difficult to check the records. However, I investigated and found that the history department of a certain school in Willondale City at that time Because the professor was interested in the shape of the temple, he sent people to investigate and record it during the construction period. Although it is estimated that everyone at that time has passed away after half a century, you can still start investigating from this aspect. ”
Shad nodded and wrote down the clues, planning to entrust Margaret to investigate in Willendale.
He lowered his head and ate a few more bites of breakfast while thinking, and then suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, when did you come to Vista Grove? How long has it been? Have you always lived alone here?"
The expression in the elf girl’s emerald green eyes became softer:
"I refuse to answer this question. Our relationship shouldn't be that good yet, right?"
Although she said such "cold" words, the two of them and the cat still enjoyed a pleasant breakfast time in front of the tree house in the forest. This was the first time for Shade to have such a unique breakfast, and because there was mosquito repellent aromatherapy, he didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes. He found that he liked the environment here very much.
After breakfast, he took little Mia away and left. As for the potion that the elf promised to prepare, it would not be ready immediately, so Shade could ask her about it every day when he came to deliver breakfast to her. Maybe there will be a surprise suddenly.
I entered the city with many worries, and it was already half past nine in the morning when I arrived at the Accordion Hotel.
Of course, Miss Daniste and Miss Winslet had already had breakfast. When Shade entered Room 317, they were looking at the information on the "Paradox Bug":
"This is a letter from Emilia. Although it is a letter for you, you don't mind if I tear it apart, right?"
The red-haired girl asked, and the chubby round-faced owl turned back into human form. She didn't like to maintain the owl form in front of Shade:
"Good morning, I entered the parliament again this morning. Your Excellency the Speaker has gone to Willendale to meet another witch, and now he is back to his original place. Look at this, this is what the Speaker asked him to do this morning The ones sent here can help suppress the curse temporarily."
Miss Bell handed the jewelry box on the coffee table to Shade. After opening it, there was an amber ring inside.
The ring looks like some kind of mithril alloy. The surface of the ring is made of silver alloy that holds the piece of light yellow amber like a claw. There is a very familiar black insect sealed inside the amber, but if you look carefully, there is only an insect in it. shell.
The ring is engraved with elven secret text:
【The ugly insect deserves to be imprisoned forever! 】
It is rare to see elegant ancient Elvish language write such tempered sentences.
“The Keeper-level relic [Insect Ring], this relic has been kept by the council, but no one knew what it was used for.”
The witch stretched as she spoke. This action was very unladylike, but she seemed not to care at all:
"We only know that wearing this ring can seriously interfere with the operation of time-like forces. Whether it is rituals, thaumaturgy or even sublimated words, it can be interfered with, but the degree of interference is different. But because its own negative characteristics are also very It’s troublesome, so only the great witches of the past would use it occasionally.”
"Time-interfering thaumaturgy?"
Shad raised his eyebrows in surprise and threw the ring to Miss Danister:
"Try it."
Of the three ladies present, only this red-haired girl knew about Shade’s thaumaturgy, so she readily agreed:
"This ring can suppress the time curse to a certain extent. Although I am still eighteen years old after wearing it, my level has reached the tenth ring. Although I cannot wear it all the time, it should be no problem in emergencies during battle."
As she spoke, she put it on the **** of her right hand. Her appearance did not change much, but her aura suddenly became stronger.
"You will know after you try it."
As he spoke, he took out Adele’s pocket watch and clasped it in his hand:
"Time stands still!"
Click~ A sound came from the void, and the beautiful red-haired girl still looked at Shade with a smile:
"How about it, you really can't do it, right?"
"Wait, why does this thaumaturgy look so familiar?"
Miss Winslet on the side asked, Shade hesitated and decided to tell the truth:
"Adele taught me, I mean Miss Isabella."
The witch and the witch apprentice looked at him in surprise. Although they knew that there must be "something" between the two of them, they did not expect that the future lord would even be willing to teach this kind of magic.
The outsiders who refuse to admit defeat plan to continue trying:
"Miss Danister, don't take off the ring yet, I haven't used my full strength just now!"
"Young people are tough-talking. I'm younger than you now. Then try again, come on."
She said with a smile, so this time Shade summoned the life ring completely. The huge eight-ring life ring made the witch stunned;
"Although I saw it yesterday, it turns out it is really an eight-ringed ring. Isn't the size abnormal?"
And Shade has concentrated on lighting up the core spirit rune [Time and Space]:
"Thumography-Adele's time stops!"
The index finger and the **** were brought together and pointed towards the red-haired girl. As a clearer clicking sound came from the void, the red-haired girl immediately froze in time.
The foreigner nodded happily.
He actually suspected that the insect shell in this [Insect Ring] was also the corpse of the "Paradox Insect", otherwise it was just a "Secretkeeper Level (Level 3)" relic that should not be able to interfere with the "Time Curse".
But he has no way to destroy a relic of this level. Moreover, even if he can take out the insect shell, the strong whispering element will make the insect shell lose its medicinal value.
However, Shade told the two ladies about the magic potion prepared by the Paradox Bug to slow down the effects of the curse.
Miss Winslet said to Miss Danister enviously:
"You not only have a good ancestor, but also a good student. Find a few more Paradox Bugs, and you can gradually get closer to normal even if you cannot fully recover. I am different. I can only see if other people's students are willing. Help."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shade, while Miss Danister looked a little worried:
"Wouldn't that elf be so kind as to help me prepare the potion for free? This potion doesn't sound ordinary."
"She asked me to bring her breakfast every morning."
So Miss Danister stopped asking, but she looked a little angry.
In addition to the [Insect Ring], in order to prevent accidents in the "cabinet" and "door" from happening again, Miss Danist and Miss Isabella each prepared relics to isolate the influence of the two tree holes.
The one sent from St. Byrons is the Keeper-level relic [Distant Pointe Alley]. The relic itself is a street sign that reads "Pointe Alley", and its function is to elongate The length of the space where the relic is placed.
That is to say, the distance that seems to be spanned by only one or two steps has actually become the length of the entire alley under the influence of the relic. This is equivalent to the characteristic of the "Twisted Tree Hole" that it can only affect a certain distance. If it works, there will be no need to worry about Miss Denister getting involved again.
When Shade checked the street sign, he saw a line of small words on the back that looked like they were carved by fingernails:
[After the divorce, chasing you who took away all the family property made this road extremely long].
It seems there is an extremely sad story behind this relic.
The relic supported by the Witch Council is the Keeper-level relic [The Unique Lock]. The relic itself is a brass lock and a matching key. The lock can only be used on "doors", "windows", etc. The scene where the lock appears.
Once the lock is locked, in addition to using the matching key, only a few methods such as the relic [Master Key] can open it. Considering that every time the cabinet is activated, the cabinet door below it will automatically open, so this lock is suitable for use on cabinets.
Similarly, there is also a line of small words on the lock that are not easy to detect, like the texture of leaves:
【The lock is absolutely reliable, but the nasty thief will just move the entire box! 】
This seems to be a sad story too.
After chatting with the two ladies about the reaction of the local church, Xia Decai proposed what to do today:
"Now that it has been confirmed that James Cumming is using that book to contact Erica Cumming in the past, let's solve the matter today. Of course, if we encounter the Paradox Bug again, this time we should It won’t make such a big noise.”
