Shade then raised his head and looked at the sky. It was only after two o'clock in the afternoon, and of course the moon could not be seen. However, the weather was very good today and there was no sign of rain. The moon tonight would be beautiful.
"She" chuckled softly in my ear.
Sister Devlin and Miss Bell actually moved faster than Shade and Miss Denister. When James Cumming stumbled to the scheduled rendezvous point, Baron Cumming jumped out from behind the tree and caught him.
took his hand, and then asked very angrily:
"Didn't I ask you to be confined at home? You haven't lost enough people lately, have you?"
With that said, the baron slapped his nominal son's actual father directly. The latter looked at his nominal father blankly, then hugged him and cried loudly:
"Father, I really miss Erica! She is not my fantasy, nor an evil spirit, nor a demon. She really exists, and I have really seen her.
She also said she would give me a gift next time we meet, but I can’t find her. My heart is broken. Erica, my Erica.”
His cry was very contagious, but only Baron Cumming hugged his son with some distress, and then continued to scold:
"I don't know who the girl named Erica is. I only know that you are engaged to Miss Jane Bennet! James, Jane is a good girl, and you chose her yourself.
Now, are you going to tell me that you have forgotten about that girl from the Bennet family?"
According to Shade's understanding, the marriage between Jane Bennet and James Cumming was a free love affair. Although the Bennet family was not a noble, due to business cooperation and various reasons, Baron and Mrs. Cumming were not interested in their marriage.
Very much in favor.
Therefore, young Mr. Cumming certainly has feelings for Miss Bennet.
After hearing his father's scolding, the painful young man gradually stopped crying, but he still buried his head in his father's arms like a little boy who had not grown up.
The baron stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, but in the end the raised hand did not fall.
He looked at Shade who was standing under the tree not far away:
"What on earth did you bring us all here for?"
"The person who threatened you has been eliminated, and you will no longer be implicated in this matter. Now I just want to complete the final work on this matter, and then your family can live in peace."
He said nothing more to the baron, but blew the petals held in his palm:
"Flying Flower Curse!"
As hundreds of petals were blown away, the father and son fell to the ground one after another in the pink miasma. Then Miss Bell, the two high-ringed followers of the witch and the two high-ringed nuns began to arrange the ceremony around the woods.
Shade, Miss Denister, and Sister Devlin walked towards Cumming and his son lying on the fallen leaves.
"Whose soul is that bug in?"
The red-haired girl asked.
"Don't worry, let me take a look."
However, he did not take out the Evergreen Leaf according to the instructions of the forest elves first, but first transformed the Staff of Yggdrasil. At this time, the box containing the [Night Watcher] was also behind him, and even if there was an accidental attack soon,
Even if he gets up, he can suppress the enemy immediately.
Holding the stick in his left hand, he took out the leaves with his right hand and placed them on the socket of his right eye. Shade closed his left eye and looked at the father and son with his right eye.
As expected, the blades blocked the line of sight so nothing could be seen, but the blades were not completely opaque, so Shade could actually see light in his right eye.
After waiting for a while, a small black spot appeared on the light-transmitting leaf. Shade took the leaf away and found that there were no black spots on the [Youth Leaf], and then put the leaf in front of his eyes and waited a moment.
After a while the dark spots appeared again.
After taking away the leaf again, Shade confirmed that the location of the black spot was the body of young James Cumming:
"in his body!"
The whistle sounded and the bell sounded, and at the same time that the life ring appeared, the long staff was pointed at the young man's chest, and the unconscious young man's whole body trembled as expected.
"Thaumatology - the stability principle of the ancient elves!"
The [Time and Space] spiritual rune radiated spiritual light, and Shade directly used the thaumaturgy taught by Miss Elf without waiting for the other party's next reaction.
The emerald green light then adhered to the surface of the black long staff. As the bottom of the long staff pressed against James Cumming's chest, he closed his eyes and suddenly opened his mouth wide, and then he spit out a big mouthful.
black water.
"How disgusting."
The red-haired girl said this, watching the mouthful of "black water" condense together and then expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then there was only a muffled sound, and the staff of Yggdrasil was inserted diagonally into the black liquid structure.
In the insect shell, it was nailed to the ground.
The insect shell vibrated with a buzzing sound, but the emerald green light symbolized the great power of the tree father to maintain time. This time, Shade cast the spell alone, although it failed to form the shadow of the world tree, but with the assistance of the angel-level staff,
The bugs were still firmly under control.
"Is this the end?"
Miss Danister asked suspiciously, Shade nodded slowly:
"It's over. This thaumaturgy seems to have been created specifically to combat the 'paradox bug'."
He held the long staff tightly with both hands and wanted to give the insect a final blow, but the nun reached out and grabbed his sleeve:
s??????.???
"Can be used as firewood."
Xia De was stunned for a moment, then confirmed:
"What needs to be done?"
The long sword wrapped in a gray stone shell slipped out of the sleeve of the nun's robe, and at this moment, a fiery red light emerged from the cracks on the surface of the stone shell.
Shade then understood and said to Miss Denister:
"The plan has changed. Although the hunt for this bug has become much easier because we have found out the cause of the matter, I will not use my thaumaturgy to eliminate it this time. Let Sister Devlin come."
"You make the decision and I will help you."
The angel-level relic sword [Ashes] burned completely in Sister Devlin's hands. The stone shell on the surface peeled off, and the flames wrapped around the sword even made her robe swing.
She held the hilt of the sword with both hands and pointed it at the skewered insect, but after a moment of hesitation, she did not take action immediately:
"I'm worried that Chu Huo will damage your staff, so put your weapon away."
"Although this bug has been seriously injured, it will still be able to fight once I take back the long staff."
Shade reminded, and the nun nodded to express her understanding. Shade knew that she was a very cautious person and did not object:
“Get ready—three two one!”
The moment the Staff of Yectrasil was pulled out, the bug curled up in a fist-sized bug shell instantly expanded and deformed. Because it was seriously injured, it could only become the size of an adult, but after the bug shell was opened, it was soft and rotten.
The mud-like black insect body and densely packed insect legs were revealed.
"According to the information given by Emilia, this paradox insect has evolved into the second stage!"
The flame-burning [Ashes] struck at the insect, but the insect suddenly buzzed. Time suddenly became slow in the scream. In Shade's eyes, Sister Devlin's sword-wielding figure suddenly became
In slow motion.
"Stability principle!"
With a bang~, the long staff pierced the insect's body again, and the flow of time returned to normal, but the dark evil thing sprayed a stream of gray-white mist at Shade's face.
Shade impatiently waved his left hand to disperse the thick fog of accelerated time, and then said to Sister Devlin:
"Put the tip of your sword against its body, and stab it while I draw out my staff. Now that I've caught this thing, I don't believe I can't burn it!"
But the nun did not do this. Instead, she lowered the raised sword:
"Use your Mystique, Bell Tower, and become one with me."
Shade easily understood the nun's plan. Since Sister Devlin was not completely immune to the abnormal temporal state, she could achieve this by merging with Shade.
It is not yet clear what power the second stage "paradox insect" has, but it will definitely "disappear". And if Shade, who has mastered the "stability principle", can also use the first fire, then no matter how powerful the insect is, it will eventually
It can only be turned into firewood.
"It's a good idea, but I don't have enough spirit."
He said with some embarrassment, while Sister Devlin grabbed his hand:
"It doesn't matter, the flame is with you and me."
Shade took this sentence as "I can provide you with spirit through the flame", but thinking of the movement when using the mystery lock, he looked at Miss Danist again, and the red-haired girl blinked at him:
"What's wrong? Do you need my help?"
"No, it's not needed at the moment."
It actually doesn't matter if Miss Danister sees it. This is not a secret that she cannot know. But Shade looked in the direction of Miss Bell and the others again. The two high-circle nuns of the [Spiritual Order] didn't care.
but
Thinking of his promise to Miss Winslet in the morning that he could gradually let her know about his affairs, Shade said:
"Miss Bell, please come here."
"What's wrong?"
The young black-haired girl immediately came from the forest. After seeing the bug nailed to the ground by the long glowing stick, she covered her forehead and immediately closed her eyes.
Even if this insect is severely damaged, it is still a genuine "ancient evil thing" that can eat the World Tree. Miss Bell is obviously still a little too weak.
"I'm going to use a powerful thaumaturgy and I don't want anyone else to do it."
"I understand, let's stay away from here first and withdraw from the ceremony."
She was about to step back as she spoke, but Shade stretched out his hand to hold her back:
"No, no, they are on guard outside, you can stay. Stand with Miss Daniste for a while, and you can talk to Miss Winslet about this when you get back."
Charlotte Bell was very surprised, but still nodded:
"I see."
She turned around and walked into the forest and came back quickly. After the peripheral defense rituals and the illusions that masked sound and vision were all activated, Miss Danist blocked her behind her. To confirm that everything was ready, Dai in front of the long staff
Sister Flynn held Shade's hand.
