The wind in the summer night was slightly cold, and the starlight and moonlight illuminated the quiet countryside. Under the big tree at the crossroads, the elf girl blushed a little because of Shade's gaze:
"Okay, I know I'm just a little scared, but I want to be like those legendary heroes and, like you, accomplish some great things.
I don’t value fame, and I know that accomplishing great things often requires sacrifice, but I long for myself to become such a person, someone who can make other people’s lives better.”
"Then embrace this expectation and wait for fate to give you a suitable opportunity. It does not necessarily mean an opportunity to defeat the devil again. Sometimes it is easy to become a hero, even if it is just to save a child in a fire."
Shade said, Emilia pursed her lips and nodded, and then looked up at the stars above the canopy with some relief:
"Agelina is right, Shade, you are really good at comforting others. You are so kind. No matter how dark the future is, I will remember your words. This is the ray of light you gave me."
This compliment made Shade a little embarrassed. He thought about it and said seriously:
"Don't let others be your light, Emilia, remember—"
There was a slight cough, followed by some awkward but elegant non-human language:
"No matter what kind of darkness we face in the future, we must believe in our own light. That is the purest power we possess as extraordinary human beings (elvish language)."
The elf girl looked at him curiously, but saw Shade also raising his head and looking at the starry sky:
"That's what my teacher said to me a long, long time ago. (Chapter 381)"
"Is that Miss Denister?"
"No, it's Miss Feliana, Miss Myrna Feliana."
At the mention of this name, the face of a blond witch wearing a pointed hat and as beautiful as a violet flashed in front of Shade.
"Wow~"
The pointed-eared elf girl exclaimed quite cutely and nodded, but suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask any more questions:
"This is such a good sentence. Although I am not a human but an elf, I will remember it."
The little elf clenched her fists, feeling a little warmer in her heart, but she saw Shade looking at her again:
"Look behind you."
"What?"
Emilia turned her head and looked back, and a thick steam mist had emerged. It was not very strong, but the enlightening elements with a strong sense of presence were gathering and emerging from the thick mist as Emilia looked.
On the life ring.
The whistle and bells were playing, and the brass-colored spiritual light was not dazzling, but absolutely clear. After a moment, the last spiritual rune of the five rings belonging to Emilia, Enlightenment-[Light of Self], was engraved on the life ring.
.
Emilia said that she had already obtained the first spiritual rune of the word of sublimation in the middle ring, which meant that she was ready to be promoted to the sixth ring. By the standards of elves, she was still an underage elf.
Enough to be called a "genius" among his peers.
"When I was at your house, I got the Whisper - [Fear] (Chapter 2117) because of the [Vicious Serial Curse Letter], and when I drew the sword on the clock tower, I got the Miracle - [Hero], and now I got this
. This summer is not over yet, and I have already obtained three spiritual runes. What is written in the adventure stories is true. The more dangerous the place, the greater the rewards."
She withdrew her gaze from behind and made the life ring disappear again. There was joy on her face, probably because she was thinking of writing a letter home to report the good news.
Shade was also happy for her, and he was not surprised that Emilia obtained the spiritual rune just because of a word.
Maybe the elf girl has accumulated a lot, but she just lacks the final understanding. And she is a candidate for "light" after all. No matter how low her ranking is, it is quite important to obtain the spiritual runes related to "light" before the story of Moon Bay is about to end.
normal.
But when he saw her life ring just now, Shade thought of another thing:
"I wanted to ask before, you only have space-related spiritual runes and no time-related spiritual runes, right?"
Emilia, who was a little excited just now, nodded sheepishly:
"My mother once said that with the bloodline I inherited, there is a high probability that I will be able to awaken the gift of time before I reach adulthood. I was looking forward to it before I entered school, hoping to enter the history academy like most of my ancestors, but unfortunately I failed, so I joined
I went to the School of Chemistry and took care of little Liana and the others."
After speaking, he whispered again:
"I'm looking forward to joining the School of History because my ancestors left a lot of course notes and examination materials, which will make learning easier."
"Yes, that's a pity. The examination subjects in the History School are not easy. Did you know that this summer I took the cross-grade examination? Not only did I take the subjects of two grades, Miss Denister even added two more
The subjects of the School of Library Management were agreed upon at the beginning, and I was asked to take those two as elective courses."
Talking about college life together and complaining about exams made the conversation more relaxed.
After the conversation ended, the two of them tacitly agreed not to speak, but stood together under the tree and looked at the vast stars. It was still midsummer, and the sea of stars in this slightly cold summer was as magnificent as in previous years.
.
Emilia has experienced this kind of season more than fifty times, but she likes this year especially; this is the second time for the stranger to spend this kind of season in this world, and he cherishes this memory.
The time to meet the agreed delivery person was eight o'clock in the evening. The delivery person appeared on the country road facing Shade and Amelia at 7:53 p.m.
He was wearing a cloak, and the rest of his clothing was considered normal. Because he did not cover up his appearance deliberately, Shade could tell that the other person was also a pure-blood elf. From the appearance, this elf uncle was about forty years old, but in fact he was probably about forty years old.
Already over a hundred years old.
The strange elf seemed to be a relative of Emilia. Emilia was so happy that she wanted to shout out her name, but the other party looked at her and obediently shut her mouth.
The elf didn't say much. He looked at Shade and nodded slightly. He untied the long package wrapped in cloth and handed it forward. Of course, he didn't hand it to Emilia but to Emilia.
It's Shard.
I don't know what method the elves used, but I couldn't feel any whispering elements on this cloth. Only when Shade held it did he feel the surging power.
The other party nodded to Emilia without saying a word, handed her a letter, waved goodbye to the two of them, then turned around and returned along the original road, during which he came into contact with Shade and Emilia.
The total time does not exceed two minutes.
"It's really efficient."
Shade praised. Seeing Emilia uneasily opening the letter to read, he lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand. After untying the binding rope, the long sword wrapped inside suddenly appeared.
came out.
This sword is "thicker" than any relic sword that Shade has come into contact with. He originally thought that the long sword with the name "Ocarina of Time" would be in the shape of a pointer, but the shape of the sword is actually very regular. Emilia said
It is made of wood, but it looks like metal. The white metal wraps the black part in the center of the blade. The black sword has the shape of a tree pattern. Following the tree pattern, several green gems are inlaid on it.
.
He tried to hold the hilt of the sword, and "she" in his ear smiled and said:
[Outlander, you came into contact with items from the First Era, and the thaumaturgy "Ancient Voice" was triggered:]
[The World Tree once supported the world in the first era and sorted out the veins of time. At that time, the elves picked the leaves and fallen branches of the World Tree to peek into the story on the other side of the long river of time. From then on, the power of time,
It was deeply immersed in their blood, and even now, this has not changed.】
"Are you saying that it's really just a matter of time before Emilia awakens the talent of time?"
"She" just chuckled, and Shade waved the [Ocarina of Time]. As expected, there was a melodious flute sound in the swishing sound, and the sound matched the rhythm of Shade's sword swing.
Will disrupt his movements during combat.
The length of [Ocarina of Time] is basically the same as [Night Watch], because the sword body is thicker and therefore heavier. A black non-slip cloth strap is wrapped around the hilt, and the common hand guard has elf patterns and
Vine texture decoration.
In addition to the white wrapped black body and the black dotted with emeralds, the long sword actually has densely packed consecration prayers that are difficult to detect, which are prayers in ancient Elvish language. These carvings are difficult to distinguish even with Shade's naked eyes.
It needs "her" to perceive it in order to interpret it.
And the only sentence among them that is not in ancient Elvish language, but seems to be a language from an older age, reads——
【The wind of time blows the flute.】
This long sword has a sense of antiquity and vicissitudes that is stronger than any long sword Shade has seen so far. Even just looking at the ancient angel-level long sword, he seemed to be able to feel the flow of time with his heart.
After trying to wave it twice more, Shade guided his spirit into the relic in his hand. Without even asking Emilia for advice, he knew that he wanted to use this weapon to "slow down time", "accelerate time" or even "
To "pause time" function, you only need to use appropriate methods to activate different green gems and different parts of the prayer with your own spirit.
The "pause time" characteristic of this sword is not just about pausing the time of a certain individual like "Adele's Time Standstill", but rather pausing the time in an area except for the sword holder himself.
But correspondingly, "she" explained in Shade's ears that she did not recommend Shade to do this:
[It consumes a lot of money, basically equivalent to opening the mystery lock with all your strength.]
Shade didn't want to try to use these characteristics now, but wanted to test the sword's enhancement of "time" power. After all, that was why he wanted to use this sword.
He had quite a few time magic tricks. He thought about it and looked at Emilia who was reading a letter from home with some "evil intentions".
