Chapter 1704 The Last "Seven-Day Travel"

"Ms. Asperger."

The two members of [Winter Sect] hurriedly saluted, and Xia De and Luvia also greeted the thirteen-ring warlock respectfully.

Ms. Aisha Eisberg is still wearing the dark blue dress she saw last time, but the skirt decoration has changed from shiny broken gemstones to simple white lace, she said to Shad with a smile :
"Meet you again, Mr. Hamilton. [Wreckage of the Unknown] has successfully entered the extreme north, and it will reach St. Byrence in a few days. A few days ago, I met with your teacher again, and she told you It’s really amazing.”

It was only then that Xia De remembered that he hadn't reported to Miss Daniste for more than a week, and the investigation progress in the Green Lake area had been completed.

"Good morning, ma'am, this time I want to."

"Yes, I already know. That item is very old and valuable. I personally cannot easily decide the ownership of the property of the church, even if you are a student of Dannist. Fortunately, the item is very It is special. It is stored in a container sealed with an ancient secret technique. From the outside, it can only be observed that there is a card inside. The predecessors have tried many methods, but they have not been able to open it. According to the information handed down by the religious order, Anyone who wants to get that card can get it as long as they can open the seal, and the church is just keeping it for them.”

"Then what are the requirements to break the seal?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the sorceress with the thirteen rings showed a meaningful expression:

"The key, a key in the shape of a card. But no one knows what the card is. Mr. Hamilton, since you care so much, I think you should have an answer."

"That's it"

Shad already understood that if this was the case, he would have to complete the Time Key of the Lost Forest in 923 of the Fifth Era in order to obtain that Fifth Era gift.

"Ms. Eisberg, I think I do know what the key is. I'm going to St. Byrence to see Miss Dennist this evening. Would you please take that item to the College Library?"

Xia De then asked, not worried about the other party questioning why he had the key, he believed that Miss Dennist would give a reason, and the librarian lady was very kind to him.

So the lady in the dark blue dress nodded:
"Of course, I also want to know what that card is."

She took a step back, and the body disintegrated into snowflakes and disappeared.Afterwards, Mr. Hammer and Ms. Ferrer who came to visit also left. They obviously had other things to do when they came to Tobesk, so they didn't stay here for long.

When Xia De saw off the visiting guests at the door and returned upstairs, Luvia reminded:

"If you really get the Impermanence of Everything card, you have seven Impermanence of Everything cards in your hand. Silver Moon, Balance, Darkness, Death, Knowledge, Earth, plus Space, officially exceed half of the thirteen cards."

"Not necessarily, maybe that so-called card is not what I'm looking for. Everything is impermanent, is it really that simple?"

Xia De asked back, and the purple-eyed girl smiled:
"I'm still worried that if you don't, you will be very disappointed. From this point of view, you really have understood the meaning of the impermanence of everything. Very good, very good, I am really good at seeing people."

Although he said he didn't care if it was really his goal, Xia De couldn't wait to pick up the time key.It was still early, and Luvia was not in a hurry to go to work at the Prophet Association, so she decided to wait for Xia De to come back before leaving, so that she could also hear about his experience.

As for Miya, the last time she followed Xia De to the Lost Forest, it obviously didn't make it feel boring, this time she wanted to follow her again.

And since last time there was no big problem.
【Really? 】

Shad recalled the encounter with the wishing demon on the boat, meeting Detective Sparrow in death, the distress in the desert, and finally the excitement of almost melting into the sun's rays in the sandstorm.

"At least there are no security-threatening issues."

And this time there are alchemy items from Iluna that can be used, so Xia De still brought cats that rarely take the initiative to go out.

Seeing Mia being turned into a toy by Xia De, Luvia was very envious, but also very puzzled, how could she not trust Xia De like this cat.

"Then Luvia, see you in three seconds."

After packing up his things, he took the cracked key and came to the door of the bedroom, full of excitement and apprehension:

"I don't know if I can really meet Chloe again this time, and I don't know what the meaning will be at the end of the seven-day trip. May the World Tree bless me in the infinite time."

Behind the door was silk like velvet, and he stepped in.

Luvia watched Xia De disappear, counting in her heart:

"Three, two, one."

Then, the downstairs door was opened by the key.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Time Corridor". 】

[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]

[Fifth Epoch 923 spring, Central Continent, Lost Forest. 】

[Event: Travelers' Story Meeting. 】

[Duration 10 3 minutes (3/[-]). 】

[You have additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】

[The ancient god of time will give you a test that will continue. 】

[Help the travelers to end the story with the "God of Journey". 】

[The father of the infinite tree will give you rewards: thaumaturgy - powerful spatial perception, a piece of real information - dragon. 】

The endless white mist enveloped the surroundings, and the familiar environment made Xia De very at ease for some reason:
"Not half an hour, but five and ten minutes?"

Although the change in time surprised him a bit, this wasn't the first time something like this happened. He even used the last key five times.Without needing to worry too much, Xia De took a step forward and entered the forest in the night where white mist was floating and the air was filled with the smell of rancidity.

Lost Forest, the final destination of the lost.In places that have never been heard of in the sixth era, high-ranking witches seem to be able to find information in the fifth era.Shad was puzzled by this, but it wasn't the first time this kind of place had appeared, so he didn't think deeply about it.

He continued to run forward without stopping, ignoring the darkness and malice chasing behind him.The various corpses nailed to the tree are stretching out their arms or claws, as if knowing that this is the last time Shade will appear, trying to keep him behind, but the cold silver moonlight attached to the body surface is still the same as before Protect foreigners.

The darkness and malice are getting closer, and Xia De's footsteps are getting more and more hurried.Just before the danger was about to happen, the heart-warming light of the bonfire just appeared in the forest in front of him.

Pushing aside the grass and stepping over the vines, Xia De once again came to the simple camp consisting of bonfires and tents.The old knight Zafiel Yellen had already chosen to leave with his long-dead relatives during his last trip.Therefore, the only ones waiting for Shad to reappear by the bonfire are the witch Alella Andriana, the black skirt maid Clara, and the bard Mr. Deka Enriquez who claims to be a baron.

Although the sound of the boots hitting the ground was slight, it still made the witch who was frowning and looking at the flames in front of her raise her head.For Xia De, it was a week, but for everyone around the campfire, it had been a long time.

Seeing that the strange man had returned, the witch immediately stood up while supporting the ground and smiled:

"You finally showed up again."

"It seems that you waited a little longer this time."

This time, the mental state of the three of them was obviously worse than last time, and it was not obvious on the brown-haired high-ranking witch in front of them, but looking at the black-dressed maid who was getting up—she had just awakened as a witch last time, and still The bard holding the lute played by the god had gloomy complexions, as if they were in direct contact with the relic after suffering severe sleep deprivation.

The black-skirted maid clasped her hands together and hung on her chest, nodding in greeting to Xia De, and the last bard who got up said:
"Sir, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"It's nice to see you again, too."

As he spoke, he restored the toy cat in his pocket.After recovering, Mia immediately looked around, nestled in Xia De's arms, and was very interested in everything around her.

I don't know if it was Xia De's illusion, but when the cat appeared, everyone present seemed to be in a better state of mind. This cat really has magical powers.

The group of four moved to the open space beside the tent and the bonfire, sat down in a circle, but still kept the position of the god and the departed old knight.

"Did something happen here again while I was away this time? Still the same as last time, you encountered lost souls?"

Xia De asked curiously, stroking Little Mia's back with his right hand.The cat purred softly, and its big amber eyes looked ahead of Shad—because the god hadn't come out of the tent yet, it looked directly at the bonfire.

The strange fire light makes the cat very happy. It likes fire and heat, light and power.Of course, I prefer Shad.

"In the beginning, some lost souls still came here. We knew that we couldn't change the fact that the other party died, so we just let them rest here and watched them leave. But then, some weird things also came. At first I Thought it was the soul of a alien creature I didn't know, but then a shadowless figure in a black robe and a scythe appeared and took the weird things away."

The witch pursed her lips, trying to describe what she saw and heard at that time more carefully:
"The man without a shadow is very similar to the boatman who carried us across the river in the description. When he appeared, it seemed that all the joy and emotion in the world were gone, even though the bonfire was still burning, and death and coldness still made us feel at a loss. It took me a long time to recover after he took those queer souls, and I used the potions I had with me to help restore health to my maid and the bard over there. That's"

It can be seen that even if the other party is only mentioned, uncontrollable panic immediately emerges:

"I've heard other witches from the Zarath Academy mention that the messenger of the ancient god of death, the seducer who pulls the undead, and the living undead walking in the world."

When she said that, Shad understood, that is, the combined version of Marilyn Handel and Joy Barton that strengthened the final version.

"This piano, when I play it, everyone's spirits can be soothed."

The bard hugged his lute, and whispered:
"It was a horrible feeling, as if I had entered death, and I even saw my long-dead grandmother waving to me. I thought I was a strong person."
