Chapter 2648 Time Anchor
“I’m still sitting here.”
Shad emphasized, Daniste Gustave frowned slightly:
“I promised you last time, but that was only last time. I won’t lie to you, but I haven’t given up on this plan yet.”
Of course Shade knew that she would not give up easily, but he was still a little surprised when she said it like this.
The two hermits said nothing:
“We have two more ways to suppress the curse: the hermits can create a special alchemical item; there is an ancient church in this woodland, and you can also confess in it.”
The rain was pattering outside the tavern. Although they told two methods, the hermits did not continue to describe the details in detail. Just as they said, they did not trust any ring wizard who had traveled through time, and they did not think that people could give up their intention to continue using tree holes.
“How about I exchange intelligence for your information?”
Xia De then suggested and said directly when the two hermits exchanged glances:
“The churches in the city already know about the tree hole. Not the natural church, they have known it for a long time. I mean all the churches in the city.”
Both the elderly Mr. Meloni and Mr. Van Buren were startled:
“Sorry, what?”
“Someone reported the tree hole incident to the church.”
Shad pointed his finger at himself:
“By the way, that person is me. I know you have been keeping this secret all this time, and you are also worried that the ring warlocks within the church cannot resist the temptation, or that the Zhengshen Church itself is trying to use those tree holes, but the situation is different now. ”
The old hermit in a brown robe across the table reached out and covered his chest:
“Did you tell the church? You knew this would happen”
“The eighth chapter of “The Whispering Psalms” takes place in the city of Vista. The chosen one of time will be born in this ancient woodland. Now the outsiders [Tree Hole Association] carry the secret and come Now, ancient evil things have long been lurking in this forest town because of the actions of mortals.
Mr. Van Buren, Mr. Meloni, the [Forest Hermits] were certainly right to keep this secret. But things are different now, aren’t they? From Tobesk last year to Yuewan this summer, these things have proved that the Five Gods Church is indeed the basis for maintaining the order of the material world. ”
The faces of the two people across the table became even more ugly:
“Mr. Watson, are you sure that the chosen one will appear here at this time?”
“Of course, I don’t know if you have noticed, but this woodland has the most “tree holes” in the entire physical world. And in recent decades, haven’t there been too many tree holes?”
“Some people have indeed mentioned similar conjectures, and we have also talked about whether the chosen ones of time will appear here, but after all, we cannot confirm the specifics.”
Mr. Meloni hesitated and stood up:
“Wait a moment.”
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and folded it into the shape of a “paper crane” while walking towards the window. After opening the window and blowing lightly, the handkerchief flew directly into the rain.
It flew back within ten minutes. The old man carefully checked the words on the handkerchief, and then asked Xiang Shade and Miss Danister:
“You two, would you mind visiting our camp in the forest in the rain?”
Shadow and Miss Danister both stood up:
“Of course I don’t mind.”
The group of four people held umbrellas and said goodbye to the deserted village tavern. Shortly after leaving Xiaomige Village from the southeast of the village, the hermits took the two people through the hidden tree hole in the forest, and then came with them. Ten miles to the northeast in a real dense forest.
Because of the distance, although the sky above this woodland was gloomy, it didn’t rain. This fully demonstrated that it was far away from the city.
This area is the virgin forest land of Vista Woodland that has not yet been developed. There are not even any roads leading to it. After leaving the tree hole that had jumped into space, the four of them walked for another 20 minutes when a large group of deer actually walked towards the four of them.
The “she” in her ear pointed out the shapeshifters among them with a smile, and those deer were obviously the hermit group’s outer guard, so they just walked past the four of them.
After crossing the herd of deer, we encountered two more bears, but this time they were real wild animals. Not long after they continued walking, Mr. Meloni stopped on his own initiative and showed the token to prevent triggering the warning ceremony in the forest. Only then did he bring Shade and Miss Danister to the station of the Hermits in the Forest. .
Xia De originally thought that based on the hermits’ personalities, the camp would be a few ordinary wooden houses similar to the logging camps in the forest. But when the illusion was dispelled, what was revealed was a large camp that could accommodate a hundred people built around an ancient temple standing in the forest.
And not only are there buildings made of stone and wood on the ground, but there are also multi-story treehouses in the surrounding trees. Of course, these tree houses are not as exquisite as the tree house of the elf girl in the forest.
The temple leans on the huge oak tree behind it. The temple is also made of wood, and its structure seems to have been integrated with the oak tree.
??????55.??????
The camp seemed very lively. Most people were harvesting wheat in the fields outside the camp, while a few people were tending to the campfires or engaged in other handicraft activities. You can see people moving around in simple ground buildings and treehouses in the trees. The lives of these hermits are very simple.
Although it is far away from civilized society, this small settlement also has its own living environment. The conditions for living here are definitely not good, but judging from the atmosphere, people who are really pursuing a peaceful life will definitely like it here.
“Over there is the temple of my Lord.”
Mr. Meloni pointed to the temple under the big tree and introduced it softly, then led Shade and Miss Daniste to the largest bonfire in the center of the camp and sat down with them.
At this time, the strongest twelve-ring warlock in the camp, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, was already waiting for them by the fire.
He was tending to a pot on the fire, in which several pine cones were roasting.
“Steve Davis, I am the current Grand Elder of the Hermits.”
The twelve-ring warlock wore the same brown robe as the other hermits. He introduced himself and shook Shade’s hand. Like Dr. Schneider, Mr. Davis also has blue eyes, but their eyes are much lighter than the doctor’s:
“About the chosen one, I have been told in the letter from Meloni. It is this lady who is cursed by time, right?”
He handed her the wooden box placed aside:
“Here, use this to temporarily suppress the time curse. You don’t need to wear it on your finger, it can also be used as a pendant.”
After the box was opened, a wooden ring was placed inside. The ring is made of oak, and the miraculous element represents that it is a magical item.
The surface of the wooden ring has clear wood grain, and it is engraved with ancient elven runes and prayers to the old **** [White Holy Tree] that Shade has never seen before. There is a series of dense inscriptions on the inside of the ring. Ritual texture.
Only in terms of the content of miraculous elements, this ring is not inferior to the Holy Emblem returned by Shade, but the Holy Emblem must have greater significance to the hermits.
“We call this magical item a ‘time stabilizing anchor’. Wearing it can not only suppress one’s own curse to a certain extent, but also improve one’s own time resistance. But its suppressive effect on the curse is not effective on ordinary people. The effect is most obvious, and it can only have a little effect on powerful ring warlocks.
It itself is like an anchor, making the wearer more stable in the time it belongs to. However, if the wearer itself is ‘heavy’ and sways due to the curse, then the effect of the anchor will definitely be worse. ”
Mr. Davis looked respectfully at the temple to the side of the crowd:
“Making such magical items not only requires our unique skills, but also requires enshrining them in the temple of our Lord for at least ten years. Although many things in the hermit group have been scattered outside, The ‘Temporal Anchor’ has never been obtained by anyone outside the Order.”
“Looks awesome.”
The red-haired girl took the ring and looked at it, but had no intention of wearing it here.
Shad sat upright by the fire:
“Thank you for your willingness to help. So, Mr. Davis, the Hermits believed my information about the Chosen One?”
The middle-aged man with twelve rings sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at him:
“Actually, since last year’s great summer divine descending event in Tobesk, the steam capital of the North, confirmed that the ‘Mumbling Psalm’ is not just a legend, I have guessed that the chosen ones who have passed through time will appear in this woodland.
It’s just that last year, I originally thought that even if my guess was correct, it would take five or six years for the Vesta Grove to turn around. I didn’t expect that with the help of the God Caller, the chosen ones would appear so quickly. ”
From the shining day of the Silver Moon in midsummer last year to the end of this year’s Harvest Moon, it took more than a year to reach the eighth place.
“Mr. Watson, I don’t know which side you and this lady represent, but since Old John recognizes you, I am also willing to believe you. We rarely let outsiders enter our camp, and now we will take you I came here because of this trust.
But regardless of whether our mutual friend [The Priory of the Light Guide] wants to get involved with the Chosen Ones, we hermits have no intention of getting involved with the epic of the Sixth Age. Of course, we are willing to help you, but we will not take the initiative to do anything, let alone take refuge in the Zhengshen Church. ”
Shad also understands his caution. These neutral groups of ring warlocks each have their own ideas:
“As long as you are willing to help, when Dad John and I mentioned you, he complained that you actually hid such a secret.”
Mr. Davis shook his head:
“No one can be too cautious about the secret of time travel. Those who hope to preserve the fire of civilization for the doomsday era as much as possible do not have no regrets about the past.
Okay, Mr. Watson, come and ask, what do you want to know from us? ”
