The sound of flapping wings appeared above the head. After confirming that the elf had left, the owl landed on Shade's shoulder:
"It's normal that you don't know the [Tree Hole Association]. If I hadn't investigated it before coming to Vista Woodland, I wouldn't have known about this organization. The rumors of the 'Time Tree Hole' have been around for a long time, and most people don't believe it.
But there are still a few people who believe it.
[Tree Hole Association] is a group of people who are dedicated to finding time tree holes and traveling through time. Their organization is very small, at least the information I collected says that their organization is very small. And they usually don’t have any public activities, so they are
It was identified as an illegal organization because they attacked a natural church in a rural town around 1200 and stole several relics."
Shade lowered his head and looked at the corpse:
"All members of the [Tree Hole Association] are time gifted people?"
"Most of them are, but they are not naturally born time gifted people.
We all know that time talents are very rare. According to the information I have, most of them obtained time talents through abnormal means. Among them, the time-accelerating magic spell 'Rapid Curse' directed at oneself is the most conspicuous among them.
Its characteristics are also the signature thaumaturgy of the [Tree Hole Association]."
The owl flew down from Shade's shoulder and transformed into Flora Winslet beside Shade. The witch lowered her head and looked at the corpse:
"Usually, you need to use range attacks to deal with the 'Rapid Curse'. As long as the attack range is sufficient, running fast is useless. In fact, there is very little information about these people. I have a rumor here that cannot be confirmed."
"What rumors?"
The witch hesitated for a moment:
"The ring wizards of the [Tree Hole Association] believe that the original founder of the association was a member of the [Tree Hole Association] who accidentally came to that era from the future. Therefore, the time tree hole must exist, because the founders proved that they were in
The existence of the future is inevitable, so they believe that time travel is feasible."
"A very simple question: Even if time travel is possible, what do they want to do through time travel? Do they think they can reverse what has happened?"
Even the most powerful time genius known to Shade, Luvia, cannot reverse the past. She can only destroy the present and recreate the future. In other words, reversing the past is more difficult than destroying time and starting over from the beginning.
"I can't answer this question either."
Miss Winslet shook her head:
"Take this body with you. Let's find a suitable place in the forest, and I will channel their two souls."
"Are you okay now?"
Shade asked hesitantly. Her condition in the mansion just now was not good at all.
"Don't worry, I'm proficient in more than just transformation, and I didn't do much in the battle just now."
Speaking of this, she praised softly:
"You are outstanding, even better than I thought. A magical spell similar to the Sun Church's 'Seaton's Seal' and the 'Night Seal' shared by the God Caller recently, plus you yourself can almost keep up with the 'Rapid Curse'
With your reaction speed and powerful fire control magic, at the eighth level, it’s hard to imagine who can defeat you head-on. So what did Danist teach you?”
Shade smiled and took out the canvas to cover the body. The witch watched him use the toy transformation technique and suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, who was that elf just now? Is there actually a pure-blood elf within the limits of Ximu Town? I'm pretty sure she saw my transformation. She's scary. I wouldn't want to be in this woodland in my heyday.
Facing her, she is like the embodiment of this forest."
"I thought you would ask this question right away. Don't pay attention to her. She is my friend and knows this place very well. If we encounter difficulties in local investigation in the future, we may need to ask her for help."
"But you haven't just arrived here, how can you have local friends?"
"Because I happen to be very good at making friends."
After packing up the body, the two continued to go deeper into the forest. The witch turned into an owl again. Then because she disliked Shade for walking too slowly, she made Shade turn into a cat. Then she caught the cat and took it with her.
He flew high into the sky.
In fact, Shade just didn't want to turn into a swarm of red butterflies in front of her. Now this move has been known to the witches because of the "God Summoner". In the previous battle, he also didn't use the Silver Moon series of spells because he didn't want to be exposed too early.
There is no need to use all your strength to deal with two ring warlocks whose levels are lower than your own.
Miss Winslet finally stopped at a creek in the forest. She directed Shade to dig two shallow graves on the pebble beach, and then put the two bodies into them.
Finally, she used a spell to dig out the four eyes of the corpse, and personally found four stones that were closest to round shapes and put them into the eye sockets.
After doing this, she chanted a spell and cast a spell. She didn't see any casting materials used, but within a moment, an extremely cold wind suddenly blew in the forest.
The skylight in the forest seemed to dim a bit, and then the body of the seven-ring warlock who died because of a wooden arrow pierced the heart suddenly sat up from the pit. The pebbles in his eye sockets were gradually burned by the blue firelight, and finally the
There were only two faint blue will-o'-the-wisps left.
The witch wiped the sweat from her forehead:
"I didn't expect that being in a cursed state would make even simple psychic skills become troublesome. Both of their souls have been banned. Normally, they cannot be summoned. The current state cannot be maintained for long. Let's hurry up.
Time to ask.”
The first soul lost control after being asked three questions, but the three questions also made him admit that they were indeed from the "Tree Hole Association" and that they were indeed monitoring the Bennet family because they suspected that they were related to the power of time.
An old house.
But what is different from what Shade thought is that the [Tree Hole Association] is not just suspicious of the Bennet family. They also suspect that any family that has existed in this area since the days of Ximu Town may have had access to the power of time:
"There is a big network intertwined by time in Ximu Town. Those ordinary people have done things that many ring warlocks dare not think of."
This suspicion was very strange, so when Miss Winslet channeled the second soul, Shade immediately asked them why they thought so.
"I don't know. This is the conclusion given by the association's senior management. There is a rumor in the association that the president's eyes can directly see the past and the future, but some people say that a person from the future traveled through time and space and gave the president information."
Shade and Miss Winslet looked at each other, neither of them really believed this statement. They must have specific clues. However, the statement of the [Tree Hole Association] is consistent with the thoughts of the Witch and Miss Danister.
They also believe that there must be a big secret hidden locally:
"How big is your organization, and how many of your people are there in Vista Grove now?"
"We have a hundred"
The corpse suddenly swelled violently. While Shade used [Heaton's Seal] to protect Miss Winslet behind him, the corpse exploded on the spot with a bang. After the explosion, a three-dimensional area including the original creek was
A large pit with a depth of one meter appeared in the forest, billowing black smoke carrying a foul smell drifted away in the wind, and the stream was continuously flowing into the pit.
"If his answer is more than a hundred people, then the [Tree Hole Association] cannot be considered a small organization."
The gray-black haired witch said, looking at Shade with her golden eyes:
"Do you dare to take the risk?"
"What's the risk?"
"Even if the corpse explodes, I can continue to channel. But I am not in full strength now, so I may encounter some troubles when channeling again, such as reviving the dead. Do you dare to accompany me and try channeling again?
?”
Shade smiled and patted his chest, where the badge was hidden:
"No problem, the thing I'm not afraid of the most is the undead."
The next channeling was not just about chanting a spell. The two of them continued to move deeper into the forest. The witch also explained to Shade:
"I want to find an area that is most suitable for the existence of the undead, that is, the area with the vaguest boundaries between life and death. Generally speaking, locations with less human activity are the most likely to appear in such places. Look, I don't have much control over the power of death.
Weaker than Transfiguration."
It was already noon, so they simply had lunch in the woods. Shade did not use "Fiona's domestic servant" this time, but took out the toys.
In addition to taking a short break during lunch, Miss Winslet also discussed with Shade his performance during the battle in the manor, and once again praised Shade for his excellent performance of the two magic seals.
This lady is very willing to give Shad advice. She has much more combat experience than Shad.
Then the two also talked about "Toy Transfiguration", which is Shade's thaumaturgy of "toy making". Shade did not hide that this thaumaturgy was actually a "divine art", and after learning that Shade could even transform living people into
When it turned into a toy, the witch was even more eager to try it and said:
"You can turn a Ring Warlock into a toy? This is really amazing. The increase in Ring Warlock level will passively increase various resistances, including resistance to malicious transformation. Give me a try.
Let me experience the power of your transformation."
Shade, who was sitting on a tablecloth and eating lunch under a tree, shook his head:
"It's better not to use it. The feeling of being turned into a toy is not very good. There will be blurred consciousness and wrong perception of time."
So Flora Winslet smiled confidently:
"You don't think your transformation will work on me, do you? I'm a master of transformation."
Shade thought for a moment and thought that what she said was right. After all, even after being blessed in the "Holy White Auditorium", his current [Toy Manufacturing] is still ineffective against the twelfth-level Carina:
"Then I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he took out a brand new canvas, and Miss Winslet, who was also sitting on the tablecloth, even covered herself with the canvas:
"Come on, I'm ready."
Knowing that the other party was the "Master of Transfiguration", Shade seriously called out the life ring, then reached out and touched it forward.
