Chapter 2768 Time War
The headed elf nodded:
“Your guess is correct, this key leads to the end of the First Age.”
He explained to Shade:
“The key itself will not cause serious consequences of time collapse, but it cannot be used by you.
You should understand that when people other than you use the key, they just watch the past stories; but you are loved by time and accepted by all arriving times. Once you open this key, it means that people in the era after the end of the First Era have entered the First Era. ”
He didn’t actually explain the logic, but Shade understood:
“You are saying that the First Era is the normal era, and after that it will be the Doomsday Era. As a person who lives in the ‘Doomsday’ era, entering the First Era will cause serious problems?”
“This is just one of the reasons.”
Envy Edwards said:
“This matter involves a lot, and even we are not sure what the consequences will be if you actually appear in the First Era. But please don’t use this key, absolutely not.”
Xia De felt that he understood:
“So you showed up to reclaim this key?”
“No.”
The tall elf immediately denied:
“This is something that belongs to you and we have no right to interfere. We just hope that you will be aware of the problems that will result from using this key and promise not to do so. But others can use this key to observe the world The origin is also the era before death. ”
“Then can you tell me, who opened it in those destroyed Sixth Era? Or, in those disappeared Sixth Era, no one has ever discovered it?”
Xia De asked again. This question related to “past life”. The three of them were silent for a while, not because they didn’t know but because they were worried about whether to answer.
Finally, the tall elf who was the leader said:
“Since you asked. Among the six disappearing Sixth Ages, Miss Luvia Fiocchi Anat used it four times, and Laplace Klein Howard used it once. Another time it was destroyed before it could be opened.”
There seems to be a lot of stories in this, but that’s not the point:
“So as long as I don’t use it myself, it doesn’t matter if I give it to Luvia?”
Xia De tossed the key and confirmed.
“Yes, we will only appear at those nodes that seriously endanger the timeline. As long as this key is not used by you, whoever opens it will not cause such serious consequences.”
So Shade thought of another question:
“Nodes that seriously endanger the timeline. Since we talked about the past life, why didn’t you show up when Luvia destroyed the timeline of the Sixth Age? Aren’t those nodes important?”
Xia De was really just curious about this question, and the three of them were silent for a moment before saying:
“We showed up, but we just couldn’t stop her. She is different from you. She does not respect the world and the rules that everyone respects.”
This answer is very different from what Shade thought “her actions are also part of time”, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. With Shade’s current understanding of the long-haired Luvia’s methods, she didn’t care who tried to stop her.
Shad even thought that everyone he knew so far might have been plotted by Luvia in some sixth era.
In short, the foreigner is not the kind of person who doesn’t listen to advice. Since the time guardians have made it very clear, he has no intention of challenging the stability of time:
“Well, although I also want to see the rumored era when everything was normal, I won’t use this key.”
He promised, thinking that the key itself was indeed dangerous, so it would be more appropriate to give it to Luvia. Of course, this refers to the one with long hair.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
The three of them spoke together, but before the matter was over, the tall elf explained:
“The seed you obtained in the secret room can then be used to ask the chosen one of time. She or he is powerful enough to plant the door of the [Time Corridor].”
“So, you have been peeking at everything in the timeline? You have been looking at me just now?”
The elf shook his head:
“No, we don’t have that kind of hobby. In fact, the things in the secret room you opened were all left by me.”
Xia De was slightly surprised, then smiled and thanked:
“Thank you then. Were you once the Elf King of the Second Age?”
The tall elf nodded slightly, but there was still not much expression on his face:
“That is all in the past. Royal power and honor are not worth mentioning as the guardian of time. Also, the [Elven Royal Power] only opens its power to pure-blood elves. I’m sorry that you can’t use it. it.”
“It doesn’t matter, I can tell by the name that this is not something I can use.”
Shad doesn’t care about this, the crown is obviously for Emilia.
The guardians still did not leave, because the most important thing about their appearance this time has not yet been said:
“Then one last thing. Follow the ancient oracle left by the ancient tree father, and the great responsibility we bear. When the only remaining time key of the first era in the material world reappears, the war of time will begin. Officially opened.”
He announced, and when he saw Xia De’s confusion, he explained:
“‘Time War’ is a traditional ritual of our [Yggdrasil Church], which aims to select time guardians like us through the ritual. This is a ritual originating from the first era, and can only be selected by the time guardians. Turn on.
After the ceremony begins, the selected seven people will receive exception permission. They can use some means to send themselves to the past era that is most suitable for them and relevant to them, and gain strength in that era, and then carry the acquired knowledge with them. , strength and even helpers return to the present and compete with other participants until the final winner emerges. ”
Xia De frowned slightly:
“Because this key appears, you want to select the right person to join you?”
“No, this is the chosen one at the pick time.”
The tall elf did not hide this from Shad:
“And this is not the ceremony of the chosen one, it is just the prerequisite for using the ceremony of the chosen one: those who have traveled through time and won the right to win the ‘Time War’, only those who meet these two conditions can perform the ceremony.
Now that the seven candidates for the election have obtained the qualification to make an exception, this time in the Sixth Age, Miss Luvia Fiocchi Anat does not seem to be planning to murder everyone in one night, so this time It will probably be more lively than before. ”
So the secret room of the “Golden Music Hall” contains clues about the ceremony of the chosen ones. It turns out this is what it means:
“So, only by killing everyone through the so-called time war can we qualify?”
Although other ceremonies for the chosen ones also require the person in the front to die before the person in the next order is eligible to perform the ceremony, those ceremonies never actively encourage the candidates to fight. This ritual style is completely inconsistent with Treefather style.
“You misunderstood.”
The taciturn vampire shook his head. This question already involves the core of the rules of the chosen one, but the Time Guardians are still willing to answer Shade:
“The selection ceremony is not a killing ceremony. As long as the candidates compete one-on-one, if one party wins, the other will be eliminated. Time will prove all this, and killing is not a necessary option.”
But the tall elf added:
“But Miss Anat is an exception. Her order is extremely special. In theory, she is not recognized as the winner, so she can only kill everyone if she wants to win.”
The long-haired Luvia has already told Shade about this matter. What she said at the time was that she was the candidate, but the candidate’s rank was considered to be the lowest. Unless all the people in front of her died, it would not be her turn. of.
The three time guardians bowed slightly to Shade, and then disappeared together.
At the same time, the frozen time also flowed again. The cheerful Miss Owl wanted to say something, but she saw Shade turning around in the forest and facing the direction of the city.
She was wondering what Shade was going to do, when she suddenly heard a huge bell ringing from a distance.
Dong~dong~dong~
Thirteen consecutive bells sounded as if from the other side of time, and Miss Owl even felt that all the feathers in her body were trembling at the sound of the bells.
The passive bells that rang from the golden music hall resounded throughout the Vista Woodland. The wind started to rise in the forest, and even the stars in the night sky became much dimmer at this moment.
Although she didn’t know what it was, the owl on her shoulder was also silent. She could feel that some ancient and profound power was affecting this area, and even her own time curse was being affected by the continuous ringing of the clock. subtle changes in sound.
When the bell ended, the sound of footsteps was heard again, and the blond elf walked from the forest to Shade.
Xia De asked her softly:
“Have you qualified for the Time War?”
“No, to be qualified is to have a green tree pattern on the back of the hand, but I don’t have that.”
The elf girl said with a smile and showed her white hands to Shade. She seemed to know everything.
In the far north of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, because there was nothing going on today, a green light gradually appeared on the back of Emilia’s hand, which was already asleep in the dormitory holding a unicorn doll.
Vestal Woodland, urban area, natural church, basement library, a strange ring warlock whom Shade didn’t know put down the “Origin of Tree Species”, and then noticed lines on the back of his hand.
Vestal Woodland, in the woodland, the “clockmaker” standing on the treetops looking at the source of the bell stretched his right hand into the night sky, laughing and admiring the green luminous pattern on the back of his hand.
Delarion, Tobesk City, No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, Luvia, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room talking to Carina about the house expansion plan, suddenly frowned, and then looked The back of his hand.
Delarion, Tobesk City, Yodel Palace, the two princes turned over together in their cribs, and then cried and expressed that they wanted to drink milk, but other than that there was nothing else. It didn’t happen, after all, they had given up their qualifications.
The bell brings the news of time, and the war for the eighth chosen one has officially begun.
