The red-haired girl pinched her waist and spoke with the sternness of a teacher who had been in school all year round, which obviously frightened the ghost of Miss Bettany.
The ghost then escaped from the wall again, and this time she waited for half a minute before she came back. Of course, only half of her face was still exposed in the wooden house. Shade guessed that the outside was covered by the shadow of the trees.
"I can answer questions, but can you not send me away after that? I think I want to play for a while longer."
The ghost begged, and Miss Daniste nodded:
"Yes, we promise you."
"No, let him tell you, are you his lover or his student? That man is the one who keeps his word among you!"
Miss Bettany pointed at Shade, and the red-haired girl took a deep breath to calm her temper, then waved to Shade, who then nodded and said:
"We promise you. But you must promise not to hurt anyone, otherwise I will definitely come back to find you."
In fact, this warning doesn't mean much. Judging from the strength of this soul, she probably doesn't have the ability to hurt people. She can only scare the timid ones in her dreams.
Then Miss Bettany's soul completely floated into the wooden house, and then nodded quickly:
"No problem, I promise not to hurt anyone."
After speaking, he pointed to the door:
"There is actually nothing unusual here, except that I heard two strange sounds. There was obviously no living person here, but I heard two loggers complaining about not having a holiday this month, and once I heard the sound of a thunderstorm.
But the weather was clear that day."
Miss Danister's eyes lit up. This was clearly the same as the broom closet where the cabinet was located, indicating that there must be a "tree hole" nearby.
"Where is the approximate source of the sound? Is it in the well where you are?"
Shade asked again, worried that he would jump into that kind of place. Fortunately, Soul shook his head hurriedly:
"On the ground. I was very curious at the time, and I wandered around looking for it. The source of the sound was roughly around here. Yes, it was near this wooden house."
"Echoes from the past!"
Shade immediately cast a spell, but after listening for a while, there was no strange sound. Combined with what the ghost said, the recent activity of the "tree hole" here should be far less than that of the cabinet.
"Are there so many tree holes in the Vista area? I have never heard of digging this area three feet apart in other places. I want to find the door too!"
As she spoke, the sorceress was about to take action, but was stopped by Shade:
"No need to bother, I'll do it."
He took the red-haired girl out of the wooden house and went outside. The ghost of Ashley Bettany plunged into the well covered by a stone slab, but stuck his head out and looked at it again.
Then Miss Daniste turned back and waved her hand, and a layer of red moonlight covered the mouth of the well, blocking the ghost's prying eyes.
"Remember? That cabinet was immune to my spell last time."
Shade asked. The sorceress recalled it and then looked at the wooden house in front of her:
"Toy transformation, right? But this one is so big, you"
"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Shade took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which was actually a toy made from a huge canvas. Then he took out the small pink bottle. The bright pink liquid looked even more crystal clear in the afternoon sun.
Shade took off the lid and took a sip, then wiped the "handkerchief" on his body, and then threw the rapidly growing canvas into the air.
The spell controlled a large piece of canvas to float to the top of the wooden house, and then accurately covered it underneath. As Shade frowned slightly and started to cast the spell, the outline under the canvas quickly shrank and became smaller.
This is the largest item that Shade has handled since he learned "toy making", but because it is hollow and has a small mass, the consumption of soul is smaller than he thought, even if he didn't drink the essence just now
It should also work:
"It turns out I'm already so powerful."
Soon the huge canvas seemed to be lying on the ground of the lumberyard. Miss Daniste stretched out her hand to let the canvas fly up again. Besides the exquisite wooden house model the size of a human head, what was covered under the canvas was also lying on the ground.
A wooden door that has been eaten away by insects.
That's the door of the wooden house.
"I come."
Shade immediately walked over and was about to take out the black time key to see if it could be turned. Unexpectedly, Miss Danister handed him a normal time key directly:
"Ask the college for it."
Of course, a normal key would be better. Shade stretched out his hand to stand the wooden door up and then put the key close to the keyhole:
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
The key was successfully inserted into the rusty keyhole, but Shade's wrist tried hard but failed to turn. Both of them were startled, and Shade immediately made a guess:
"Although they both use keys, opening the tree hole is different from opening the door to the 'Time Corridor'. The focus of the former is the tree hole itself, while the focus of the latter is the key. So the door of the latter only needs to be a door.
Yes, but the door of the former must be a door."
After understanding this, he and Miss Danister retreated together, changed the wooden house back, and then leaned the door against the door frame:
"May the World Tree protect me for infinite time."
With a click, the key was turned.
【Outlander, you have opened a "twisted tree hole". 】
[Tips from the Father of the Infinite Tree:]
[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1821, the sixth era of the present world.]
[Note, any life other than you who uses this channel will be cursed by time. 】
[Note that you can enter the past twenty minutes through the abnormal channel here, and you must return through this channel after the time is over. 】
[Note, after using the key to open the door here twice, the passage will completely collapse. 】
"How about it?"
The red-haired girl asked expectantly, and Shade didn't disappoint her with a smile:
"Connected to 1821, it can still be used twice. The last cabinet I met was also usable twice. Is it a coincidence?"
"Did the teacher from that time actually come to Ximu Town 33 years ago?"
The sorceress was a little distracted, so Shade took the opportunity to ask:
"Have you graduated by then?"
"No, at that time I just couldn't tell you how old I was."
She said this immediately, and then looked at the door with a serious expression:
"What will happen to this door if you use both opportunities now?"
"I don't know, this is not a normal time tunnel. It may be that the distortion disappears, but there may be some bad consequences, so it is best not to do this."
Shade shook his head. If these "twisted tree holes" were really disasters caused by changes in the world, then I'm afraid the consequences would not be simply the disappearance of tree holes.
Miss Denister pursed her lips and nodded:
"Fortunately, this tree hole can be used twice."
"Even if it can be used twice, I can't let you use it. Do you still remember what you promised me?"
The red-haired girl nodded reluctantly:
"I know, it's really verbose, Shade. Do you think the teacher came to three years ago through this door? Was it like me and Flora who encountered an accident that caused the tree hole to open unsteadily, or was it like you who used a key to open the door?"
It's probably an accident, and the teacher doesn't have the gift of time."
[Unexpectedly, the twisted tree hole opened with the time key is a one-way door. 】
"Unexpectedly, the tree hole opened with the time key is a one-way door. I can only come back from the past because of time constraints."
Shade explained:
"So there is a high probability that your teacher is also contaminated with a time curse. If we can find her, maybe we can find out whether she has expelled the curse. Did she never talk about time travel and time curses before she disappeared?"
Shade asked seriously, and the red-haired girl shook her head in disappointment:
"No, never. Teacher doesn't tell me everything, but I will tell you everything I know. Teacher and I are different."
She didn't want to show her closeness to Shade, but she wanted to show that she was doing better than the teacher - this was a child's way of getting angry.
"It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, let's go back now. This door will be placed in your room, but it must be placed in the innermost room of the suite, and you cannot approach it casually. I don't want you to be involved in the past again.
.”
Judging from the experience of that cabinet, as long as you are not too close to these "twisted tree holes", you will not be randomly involved.
"I know. After I go back, I will check the relics left by the teacher again. Maybe there are clues that I didn't notice before."
The red-haired girl said, and her tone was not very low. Being able to find this door was something she didn't expect before going out this morning. Now that Shade is by her side, she believes that one day she will be able to see her teacher across time.
Even if she couldn't meet him, Denister Gustave would be very satisfied if Shade went to meet the teacher:
"Xia De, if someone in Ximu Town masters a safe way to travel through time, will you stop me from using this door in this way?"
"You mean Baron Cumming and his son?"
Shade asked, turning to look at the well again. Although he promised not to deal with the ghost, he still had to use the spell - [Oath Binding] to ensure that Miss Ashley Bettany would not hurt anyone or cause chaos.
say.
"Yes."
"That won't work either. I don't believe that traveling through time through the 'Twisted Tree Hole' can be done at no cost. This is a disaster of time."
As he spoke, he walked towards the well, and the red-haired girl followed him. The door floated behind them:
"So you think you are the only exception. Shade, you are so arrogant~"
She poked Shade's arm from behind with some dissatisfaction.
"Arrogance is indeed my original sin. Listen to me today. I won't let you use this door."
"I don't want to use it either. Am I the kind of impulsive person? But Shade, when I recover, just wait for me to give you homework~"
