"Swear to the moon? Does it need to be so serious?"
The black-haired sorceress raised her eyebrows at Shade, but seeing that Shade was really serious, she nodded slightly:
"Okay, but you have to answer me a question first: If it's really so dangerous, why did you bring me here? If you didn't bring me here, I wouldn't know about this old professor, and I wouldn't be able to listen. to your conversation."
"Because this matter shouldn't be hidden from you."
Shade replied:
"I'm not worried that you know my plan. I even want you to know that I will not be willing to just find the tree where your body turned into with Miss Denist more than thirty years later. Then I Hold the cat and burn the tree with Miss Daniste, who is crying."
"All mortals are mortal."
"Yes, but I need your help, Helena Carter."
It was very impolite to call him by name directly, and this was the first time Shade did so. He stared at the black-haired sorceress standing under the umbrella with him in the rain, and said in a slow but firm voice:
"I need you to help me in the future. I need you to stand beside me and Miss Denist in the future, and fight with us against the fate that is destined to come. I don't care what you think, maybe what I say now is strange. , but madam, whether you will open your eyes again in the future is not up to you, it is up to me.
After all, you yourself said that you should have passed away by then."
The thirteen-ring sorceress has experienced far more stories than the young outsider, and more than one person has spoken to her in a tougher and harsher tone. She did not make any compromises because of Shade's words, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. Looking at him under the umbrella.
After three full minutes, she said softly:
"I swear to the moon, I will not take the initiative to come to this old professor today in any way. But Shade Hamilton, do you really want me to be active again in the future just because I am a thirteen-ring warlock?"
"Of course it's also for Miss Danister. You still owe her an answer. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Then the sorceress laughed, and the crooked look in her eyes was definitely not fake:
"Watching young people like you clumsily explaining themselves is the reason why I insist on working as a teacher in the academy."
Shade didn't know what she was thinking about him, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Then if I really follow my plan and not change the past but start working on the future. When you really open your eyes and see us, will you blame me for letting you reappear?"
"Won't."
"Then can you imagine at this moment how you will feel when you see Miss Danister and me?"
Shade then asked, and the black-haired sorceress patted Shade on the shoulder with her free right hand:
"Is your revenge so strong?"
As he spoke, he held Shade's hand and continued walking forward with him. The sound of their conversation was gradually drowned in the sound of rain:
"The situation in your time was really so crisis-ridden that even Daniste couldn't cope with it?"
"Even if she has lifted the curse now, it is not enough to mention that there was a small incident on our side recently: the first librarian of St. Byrons, Miss, traveled through time from the fifth era to our era."
"oh?"
She turned to Shade and winked:
"When you leave later, I will go with you to 1854."
"?"
It wasn't that Shade had heard wrong, or that Ms. Carter was joking with Shade. After Shade confirmed it several times, he finally confirmed on the carriage out of the city that the lady really planned to go to the future again.
"Didn't I tell you before that although I have passed away in your time, I intend to help you during your decisive battle in the Vista Grove?"
The sorceress asked:
"So I have long thought about how to travel through time again. In order to prevent the birth of new Paradox Worms, of course the tree hole I used can no longer be used. But after all, I have been to the future once, and I still have you.
Special existences can carry information from different time and space.
Based on these premises, coupled with some of my gains in the Vesta Grove, I created a summoning method similar to the projection state. Of course, this method also requires you to find someone in your era who has the ability to 'summon the past'
'It’s best to coordinate with the relics that work.”
"The angel-level relic [Poem Solitaire] should be fine, right?"
This is a relic obtained from Laplace Howard during the Green Lake incident. Shade originally planned to use this relic to contact Miss Feliana, but because the venue of the parliament and Miss Isabella's hair were used as markers,
By mistake, he came into contact with Adele from the past for the first time.
Now that the relic is being kept by the [Witch Council], it is quite easy to borrow it.
"Of course, this relic is in your hands? We need to test whether this method works. We can't try it again when we really need me. So, why can't it be today?"
"You also want to meet Miss Olanode?"
Shade has just briefly introduced the witch of the fifth era, so the current librarian also has a preliminary understanding of her:
"I'm just curious. Opportunities like this don't come often."
"So you agreed to go see Miss Daniste for this?"
"Wait a minute, just because I'm going to your era doesn't mean I'm going to see Danister."
She gave such an inequality with a smile, and then held her face up to look out the car window at the evening rain scene. The city in midsummer turned gray in the rain. Shade certainly did not agree with the sorceress's sudden thoughts.
Will object. Since Helena Carter's ending has been determined, then of course Shade will satisfy some of her wishes.
If you just use the power of relics to summon approximate projections, it will not have a big impact on the stability of time. And once Ms. Helena Carter really appears in 1854, then who does she want to see and whom she doesn’t want to see?
In fact, strictly speaking, she doesn't have the final say.
Although Shade did not intend to go against this woman's own ideas, sometimes accidents would happen unexpectedly.
The carriage sent the two of them to the small road outside the city in the rain. The coachman was curious about what the man and the woman wanted to do in the forest at dusk, so he advised them not to spend the night in the forest.
Then the thirteen-ring sorceress carried Shade, who had turned into a silver cat, and flew above the forest. The stranger sadly discovered that his rejection of the matter of turning into a cat was no longer as strong as it was at first.
He was very familiar with the location given by Professor Uke Wood, so under his guidance, it only took the two of them twenty minutes to reach their destination deep in the forest:
"Land now. If we fly directly over that area, we won't be able to see anything. We have to walk along the path to actually get there."
So when the black-haired sorceress's boots touched the ground, she discovered that there was actually a clear path in such a deep forest just as Shade said.
The cat jumped out of her arms and transformed into a human form. The two walked along the path for more than twenty steps, and after pushing aside the lush grass that grew in summer, they saw the open space.
The circular open space has an area larger than Saint Teresa Square. Opposite the open space are five huge thrones that seem to be prepared for giants, among which the throne in the center is the tallest.
Behind the throne, the tallest trees the two of them had seen in this forest so far seemed to be inserted directly into the raining clouds.
And when the patter of raindrops fell from the gaps in the canopy, the "corpses" whose necks were tied by tree vines and hung under the canopy were also swaying with the wind passing through the forest.
The number of "corpses" was so huge, and the tree crown was so huge, that it looked like thousands of people were hanging themselves under this giant tree at the same time.
"No, those are not corpses, those people are still alive."
The black-haired lady reminded Shade softly, but the people hanging under the tree were basically the same as dead. Although their souls still existed and their bodies were maintained by the vitality of the tree, they could not even breathe with their eyes closed.
Shade's "Heart of Stone" couldn't even hear the heartbeat of anyone hanging under the tree.
There was no such "scenery" here more than thirty years later, so Shade wanted to get closer to see what the "corpses" were like. But suddenly the lady beside him reached out to support him and turned to look.
Ms. Carter covered her chest with her left hand, breathing heavily with a very uncomfortable expression.
The blue blood vessels protruded on her fair forehead. At the same time, when she came into contact with Shade, Shade clearly felt as if the spirit in her body was being suppressed, and the overall sense of strength was declining.
"What's going on?"
He immediately helped the sorceress back from the clearing to the path, and Ms. Carter's symptoms were immediately relieved.
She took a few more big breaths to calm down the flow of spirit that had returned from the silent state, and then cast the water-avoiding spell she had interrupted just now:
"Let's stay farther away and talk under the tree over there."
She didn't let Shade waste gold to summon the camp. When she came to the big tree beside the path, she leaned directly against the tree. The rain had already wet her clothes just a moment ago, so Shade stretched out her hand to call out the flames.
She dried, while the sorceress took off her beige sunhat and held it in her arms:
"I roughly understand the situation here, and I also know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."
She turned to look at Shade who was controlling the flames:
"Everyone hanging on that tree is a time curser like me, and that tree is absorbing the time curse of those people.
The vines hanging from their necks come from the big tree itself. After a long process, the tree will suck out the time curse in those people, and then the bones falling to the ground are probably the nutrients of this area."
