Chapter 2842 Bait Plan
“Emilia performed very well. Before Flora and I found her, she dealt with her opponent for a while. We may have really underestimated you before.”
Shad was not stingy in his praise of the elves, while Emilia shook her head in embarrassment.
“[Tree Hole Association] dispatched its elite this time, probably to complete the assassination unexpectedly. Emilia performed really well, and the ‘Clockmaker’ also underestimated the enemy a little bit.”
This is Vanessa’s own judgment, but she is somewhat proud of it:
“She accidentally bumped into me. I bet that no one in the entire parliament except the Speaker can stop that ‘clockmaker’. There are also those high-level warlocks from the Tree Hole Association, my former The idea is indeed correct, gravity is one of the nemesis of ‘accelerating time’.”
At this time, outsiders would like to popularize the gravitational time dilation theory they have learned. That is, the greater the distortion rate of space-time caused by gravity, the slower time will pass. But after thinking about it, it seems that this is simply “gravity causes time to slow down, thus causing the effect of the ‘Rapid Curse’ to become worse”, so he did not discuss this matter inappropriately:
“I feel very strange about the halfling killer that Emilia met. Nowadays, most halflings live together with the three major colleges. There is no independent group anymore, and there are no well-known ring warlocks, but just now That guy is obviously a high-level person and is proficient in the power of time and space. I feel like he is not from our time.
But on the way back just now, I swallowed a beacon acorn and didn’t find the time traveler. ”
“So the other party’s time travel is legal? That halfling is the helper called by the ‘clockmaker’ from an unknown time and space in the past?”
Flora asked, she and Miss Daniste sat on the couch together, Shade and Vanessa sat across from each other, and Amelia sat on the chair moved by Miss Bell:
“I feel so.”
The elf girl raised her right hand and said, she was sure of this:
“When I saw the halfling, I instinctively felt that he was a helper called in the Time War.”
Then he hesitated and added:
“I have a vague feeling that the other person comes from the fourth era.”
That was an era older than the Witch Era, and is called the “Era of Chaos and Darkness” by people today. Shade’s knowledge of that era was limited to books. This did not refer to textbooks, but the ancient books collected in the library of the [Spiritual Cult].
The mainstream system in the third era was the witcher, in the fifth era it was the witch, now it is the ring warlock, and in the fourth era it is the “occultist”. People in that era generally used powers that were considered very evil and weird by ring sorcerers, and the witches of the Fifth Age called their spells “secret arts”, which was also related to the era before them.
“Shad, how strong do you think that halfling is?”
The red-haired girl asked Xia De, and Xia De thought about it carefully:
“The other party hasn’t fought with me for too long, and he is very good at concealing his aura. He can only judge that it roughly corresponds to our high level. According to Emilia, the other party is proficient in the power of time, space and shadow. If he comes again It would be difficult for us to stop Emilia in the first place.
Besides, we still don’t know how they found Emilia. She only came to the local area yesterday afternoon, so she was exposed too quickly. ”
“It is impossible for our followers to leak secrets. Witches can guarantee the absolute loyalty of their followers, so the other party most likely relies on the power of divination.”
Vanessa speculated, and Flora agreed with this inference. The red-haired girl said to Shade:
“In short, we cannot let Emilia encounter an accident before she uses her qualifications. Since they can find Emilia today, this incident can happen a second time. Shade, is there a way to solve it? Let Miss Anat divine it for her.”
“Okay, I. No, Luvia is not in a good mental state right now and needs to rest now, but we are not the only one who is a diviner.”
Shad turned to Emilia and asked:
“Amelia, would you mind going to Moon Bay?”
The “Space Maze” in Moon Bay is located in the Dragon’s Nest near the “St. George Stone Bridge” outside the city. In the summer, Amelia also recorded the coordinates there, but this time Shade did not go there. Instead, he took Emilia back to the “Brilliant Messenger” and asked Miss Elisa to sail directly to the Moon Bay Port with a boatload of people.
“Is this why you appeared in Yuewan?”
The afternoon wind blows from the sea to the port, and the weather in Yuewan City is very good today. After the “dragon disaster” in the summer, this city of wealth temporarily returned to calm.
Because of the strong support from the Anjou royal family, Yuewan’s post-disaster reconstruction work went smoothly. The wharf and port are the most important areas of Yue Bay, so they have recovered the fastest. Now standing on the deck, there are almost no traces of the damage.
Thousands of sails stood on the sea in the port, and porters and sailors were busy working on the dock. The Countess, who came after hearing the news, took Miss Matilda, the head maid, to meet Shade on the deck of the “Brilliant Messenger”.
Both the master and the servant have beautiful golden hair. The countess has not been able to go to the Vista Grove yet. Speaking of which, she has not seen Shade for several months:
“I thought you came here specifically to see me.”
The golden eyes said with a smile, and the beautiful birthmark between the eyebrows is still so eye-catching:
“But what happened to Luvia? Why did she come to me specifically for divination?”
As he spoke, he waved and motioned for Shade to take her to visit Emilia. When Shade turned around, he looked at Matilda. The young blond maid blinked at him. Shade somehow thought of Tifa’s “teaching” in the summer.
He felt guilty for his thoughts, but then he saw the maid licking her lips, so he no longer felt guilty.
Emilia was waiting for the countess to arrive in the cabin, but Miss Belindel still said hello to the witches on the ship before going to find her.
However, the countess was not used to being disturbed by others when doing divination, so even Shade was “driven” out this time. She only let Matilda and her two nine-ring maids follow into the room.
Shad had no choice but to wait for them in the corridor of the cabin. Agelina, who was carrying a cat, was also here at this time. She asked Shad worriedly:
“I heard that someone is going to assassinate Emilia, right?”
“Yes, it should be for the qualification of the candidate. I still don’t know how the other party tracked down Emilia.”
Shad explained to her and assured that Emilia would be fine:
“We just happened to be in Moon Bay. Let Miss Belindel check on you later. Although Luvia’s divination skills are very powerful, she is not as knowledgeable as the witches after all. Maybe Miss Belindel has I can help you.”
But Agelina is still very worried about her friends. In the past, when she followed Shade and her sister to other cities, she only felt that the dangers and battles belonged to others.
It wasn’t until this brief visit to Vista Grove that she realized how close those things were to her. After all, in her opinion, Shade is almost omnipotent and can solve any danger he encounters, but Emilia is just as fragile as herself.
The Countess’ divination didn’t take long. After the door opened, she directly gave Shade the answer:
“Hunters will use certain special methods to mark their prey, and Emilia is now marked. This is not a magic secret that I am familiar with, but in short, as long as the mark is not removed, the person who released the mark will still be there. Can find her again
However, the other party cannot sense the mark all the time. I just helped Emilia block the peek from fate. It is absolutely impossible for the other party to find Emilia again before ten o’clock tomorrow morning. ”
“But how did he mark Emilia? After she came to Vista Grove, she never left our side.”
Xia De asked, and the witch with the beautiful birthmark between her eyebrows could only give a guess:
“Either the other party knew Emilia’s identity originally, or they used very high-end relics for assistance. But the greater possibility is that the other party paid a huge price to directly target Emilia. This is not an ordinary method. Although I can find a way to help Emilia remove the mark, it will take at least a week of preparation.”
“So she will be attacked tomorrow morning?”
Bella Belindel then smiled and said:
“I am now a twelfth-level witch of fate. I believe in my ability. Although it takes time to remove the mark, I can share the mark with others, so that the other party will not know the real Emily. Where is Ya? ”
Xia De immediately asked:
“My idea is actually that if we can use this opportunity to fish out the other party and eliminate it completely. Miss Belindel, can your method allow the other party to completely treat me or Vanessa as Amy? Leah?”
The Countess shook her head:
“Sharing marks can only create a certain degree of confusion, but since the other party’s tracking technique is so powerful, if you want to completely turn Emilia into two or three, you’d better ask Flora for help. ”
“Flora? Why?”
“Her transformation technique can transform her into other people. She turned into Emilia’s appearance, plus the mark I shared, so it’s definitely no problem. What are you so surprised about? She should have said that Can you become someone else? ”
When Shade heard Carina talk about Flora for the first time more than a month ago, the Duke did mention that Flora could turn into the appearance of other humans (Chapter 2555), but Shade never He had seen Flora do that, and she usually only turned into animals, so Shade subconsciously ignored that she had such a skill.
