Chapter 2647 Visiting the Hermit Again
The person who went out with him that day was Miss Danister. This was not because Miss Owl was worried that the rain would wet her feathers, but because it was Miss Danister who met the hermits last time. Accompanying her, the red-haired girl was still thinking that maybe there might be more information about her teacher in the hermit group.
So the witch stayed to prepare the potion – warm ingredients. The potion is not complicated to prepare, and the final step will probably be completed tonight.
Of course little Mia will not be taken out by Shade, so Miss Winslet will still take care of it temporarily. It seems that the cat likes Miss Owl very much, which is different from Tifa. Shade feels that little Mia may regard the dead witch as a kindred spirit.
Of course, in order not to hurt Miss Owl’s self-esteem, Shade did not speak out his thoughts.
Farewell to the ladies in the hotel, Shade and Miss Denister took a carriage out of the city, and then walked to the small village of Miguel in the forest.
Because it was raining lightly, both of them held umbrellas. When the carriage was in the city, Shade chatted with her about the future plans. When they walked into the woods together, Shade asked about the elves.
“Nightsong elves? Yes, there is indeed this elf clan in the college. There are many such students in the School of Library Management, but what do you want to do with them?”
Most elves maintain the tradition of matrilineal clans, so Miss Danist also uses female personal pronouns.
“I want to know something about the Fifth Age.”
“I understand, it’s your time adventure again, right? I guess the potion formula you gave Flora is also the harvest of your adventure.”
The red-haired girl asked with a smile:
“But the clans of Nightsong elves are now widely distributed, and the clan in the academy doesn’t know everything. What do you want to ask specifically?”
“Did the Nightsong elves live together in the fifth era? If not, where in the old continent do they live today? Oh, I only need to know the result before next Monday.”
Miss Danister walked side by side with him on the path in the forest holding an umbrella:
“This question is very simple. You know that I also have elf blood. Although I didn’t have much contact with my relatives before, I have also studied elf history. In the Fifth Age, elves of the same clan lived together. Even if It is scattered living, and it is also scattered in a certain area, such as the relationship between towns and villages.
The Nightsong elves are a relatively independent elf clan in the academy, but their history is very clear. In the fifth era, didn’t those elves live in the forest beneath our feet? ”
Xia De found that he was not as surprised as he thought:
“Vestal Grove?”
“Yes, Ximu Town did not exist at that time, and the forest area was much larger than it is now. This ancient forest is not only the night song elves, there are also many weird or secret alien communities living in it.
At the same time, because the forest was ancient and dense at that time, many ancient ruins are still preserved today. Have you never taken any elective courses at the School of Political Science and Economics? If you have time, you can actually choose one or two courses to study. Anyway, you don’t care about tuition fees now. ”
She teased, while Xia De raised his umbrella slightly so that he could look at the gloomy forest in the rain:
“The black mist with the suspected power of the Angel of Death attacked Miss McConaughey in this area. So, is it still here now?”
The rain had turned from light rain to heavy rain when Shade and Miss Danister arrived at Xiaomigu Village. Although they all carried umbrellas and wore waterproof boots, they still stepped into the puddles to cover each other and broke into the village tavern.
The red-haired girl seemed to think this was very interesting. When Shade handed the token of meeting the hermits to the tavern owner in front of the wine-stained counter, she stood alone under the rain cover at the entrance of the tavern. Smiling behind his hands, he looked up at the strings of raindrops falling under the gray sky.
Xia De felt that this scene was more worthy of being recorded as an oil painting than throwing the moon halo.
Shad just had to help Miss Danister block the rain blowing from the side, so the entire left shoulder was soaked. But he didn’t want to use thaumaturgy in the village, so he simply wiped his hair with a towel and didn’t bother with his clothes.
Miss Danister did not use a new towel. Instead, she took the towel that Shade had used and wiped her hair and side of her face. Then she thoughtfully wiped Shade’s left arm, but it was wet. Using a towel to wipe wet clothes is actually not very effective.
Monday morning was originally a busy time for farming. Although it was raining, few villagers would go to the tavern to rest. Since there were not many customers, the tavern owner asked for Shade’s coat and put it on a stick on the tavern’s fireplace to help dry it.
So Shade could only sit near the fireplace wearing a white shirt, and the red-haired girl sat next to him.
After waiting for more than half an hour, when the only other guests besides the two of them left the tavern, Mr. Bell Van Buren, the hermit whom Shade met last time, finally opened the door of the tavern.
He put the black umbrella he was carrying at the door and walked towards the two of them. Shade then put down the map in his hand. He had just confirmed that he was using “Powerful Spatial Perception” and “Infinite Perception” at the same time while holding the map. “Fire Extinguishing Seal”, Xiao Mia’s location was displayed on the map directly in his eyes.
??????55.??????
While he was talking to the red-haired girl about this thaumaturgy, the hermit came in, so after the hermit sat across from him, he handed over Old John’s letter:
“This is our mutual friend.”
Mr. Van Buren wiped his hands before opening the letter. He read the letter carefully, then raised his head and asked Shade:
“Mr. Watson, what do you want from us?”
“Remember my question last time? About tree holes.”
He smiled:
“It has been a week since we last met. I happened to find a tree hole that can be used to travel through time in the city, so I want to ask you hermits for some advice on related issues.”
The man in his forties looked up at him:
“Have you used it?”
“No, I am a cautious person. Besides, I can’t think of anything I need to do there.”
Xia De said, so the hermit who had just sat down stood up again:
“You two, please wait for me for a moment, I will be back soon.”
So Shade and Miss Danister continued to talk about the thaumaturgy, and then even had lunch together. It was not until the tavernkeeper had even cleared the tables, and Shade had put on his dry coat again, that Mr. Van Buren came over with an old hermit of eleven rings.
This is not the hermit they saw last time. After the two sat down, Mr. Van Buren introduced:
“This is Mr. Meloni, the secret keeper of the Hermits’ generation. It is better for him to handle matters regarding time travel. I’m sorry that I didn’t know anything last time. That was necessary caution.”
Mr. Meloni looked as old as the Augustan priest, and he held the letter from old John in his hand:
“If I hadn’t received his letter some time ago, I really couldn’t believe that [The Priory of Light Guidance], which is more conservative than us, would actually cooperate with outsiders.”
The letter stated that John Watson was not a member of the Priory.
“I just happen to know a few gentlemen from the Priory.”
Xia De folded his hands together and placed them on the table:
“I won’t say any more pleasantries. Mr. Meloni and Mr. Van Buren. Since I found you with a letter for the second time, you can probably guess that I already know a lot of things.”
He looked at the two of them in turn:
“[The Hermits in the Forest] has been helping ordinary people who traveled through time due to ‘tree hole accidents’ since the sixth era, and guiding them not to abuse the power of tree holes. By coincidence, I found the city While walking in a tree hole, I met an old man you helped in the 1800s.
Don’t worry, I didn’t make things difficult for him. He voluntarily handed the tree hole to me. He said that time has closed the loop. ”
Mr. Van Buren said nothing, while Mr. Meloni sighed:
“No one has given us such a responsibility. This is just to maintain the peace of this forest. You said it yourself. We usually don’t help ring warlocks. Past lessons show that this will cause big trouble.”
Mr. Prada Ogg, the elder of the Hermitage in the Snow in 1802, also said the same thing. He trusted Shade because he had elf blood and could recognize the power of the wreath. Of course, this is also consistent with the “animal companion” Stunning unicorn transformation related.
But this trick obviously cannot be used at this time.
“Isn’t it possible to rely on this letter?”
“Of course we won’t doubt someone who Old John recognizes. What do you want to know?”
But it seems that instead of wreaths and unicorns, Father John’s face and the holy emblem returned by Shade are equally effective.
“I want to know some basic knowledge about time travel. Of course, before that, please allow me to ask a question: The old man who was helped by you said that using tree holes for time travel will lead to being cursed. So is this curse really unbreakable?”
Shad believed that the two hermits must have guessed something through this question, but at least they did not show it.
“It cannot be broken, but there are ways to slow down the power of the curse. The elves have an ancient potion, but we don’t know the recipe; a few relics can suppress the power of the curse, and we can make a list for you if you need it. Also”
The hermit paused, but this was not to create any drama:
“The reason why time travelers are cursed is that time travelers destroy the stability of time. Some people are simply involved in accidents, but more people really have regrets in their hearts. Mr. Watson, you Are you sure that the friend you want to undo the curse will never use the power of the tree hole again?”
Under the table, the red-haired girl has grabbed Shade’s hand. She didn’t let Shade speak and said herself:
“He wants to break the curse for me, you don’t need to test this.
If I could really see my elder in the past, even if the man next to me stopped me, I would definitely use the tree hole again! ”
