Being able to get extra coins before the decisive battle is the best news, Luvia asked:
"Xia De, do you want to use it now or keep it?"
"Leave it for now. Thomas Bennet's problem is almost not a problem, but I'm not sure if we can successfully find the clockmaker. Besides, there will be a series of troublesome things going on when we go deep into the forest, so I'll keep the coin as a backup."
Luvia nodded slightly, then smiled and asked:
"Didn't you and Miss Olanold do anything else but sleep in the stargazing room last night?"
Shade pretended to be innocent and said:
"Louvia, is now the time to discuss this kind of thing? We have to separate business and private matters. How could I be in such a mood before the war?"
"But why do I feel that this is your private matter? Today everyone is talking about how brave the ancient witch is. Okay, okay, I'll just leave this topic alone. In short, be careful tonight. After dealing with the things in the city, we will go back temporarily.
Rest on the boat before setting off for the woods."
She sighed softly:
"We have gone through so many things, so I won't say anything like pay attention to safety this time. But you have to remember that there are still many people waiting for you to go home, so pay attention to safety. You see, I still said it."
Shade understood what she meant and gave Luvia a hug.
Lecia was brought by Grace and Helen at three o'clock in the afternoon. Since this morning, the two sisters have sensed that the time and space situation in the forest is getting out of control. They are worried that in the evening, the forest and the outside world will really be different.
Due to the difference in time flow, it would be completely blocked, so I brought Lesia here in advance.
Although the red-haired princess has been staying in Tobesk, she is much more familiar with things on the ship than Margaret because of Dorothy.
When she boarded the ship, Miss Bell happened to have just brought the supplies sent to the [Witch Council] by the Orthodox Church to the ship. The most critical of them was of course not the batch of magical weapons and No. 2 holy water puree, but those
The Holy Emblem Medal that can activate the power of tonight's divine ritual, allowing the attacks of the Ring Warlocks to penetrate the Paradox Insect's defense.
The witches themselves did not believe in the Five Righteous Gods, so they distributed the medals according to their own preferences. Shade took one and threw it to Lesia. After catching it, the red-haired princess opened her arms and hugged Shade.
Then he said hello to his sister beside him, and then mentioned to Shade that this "Red Butterfly Day" will officially begin from now on:
"If this battle ends early, when your rest time after the war is over, no matter how many people send you invitations, you must remember that it is Dorothy and I's time."
She then kissed Shade passionately, and then she let Agelina take her to find Dorothy and the Red Butterfly sisters.
Shade likes girls with a personality like Lecia, who has personal feelings but can always handle other things properly. Thinking carefully about this, the Day of the Red Butterfly was supposed to be held on the last day of last month, but now it is frost.
On the eighth day of the month, delaying for so long is indeed a slight to them.
At 3:20 in the afternoon, the girls on the ship drank the last glass of wine before the war with Shade in the banquet hall. Then the Shining Messenger left a mirror image clone on Lake Ulen, took off and flew into the air, and then disappeared in
In the heavy snow under the deep night sky.
At 3:40 in the afternoon, the eight great witches on the ship had their last pre-war communication with the other five great witches in the parliament. Speaker Isabella had temporarily stopped trying to seal the black mausoleum at the southern end of the old continent.
Handle the work and be ready for support on the outskirts of Vista Grove.
After all, all the strength of the council cannot be invested in the forest at once. Now that Vanessa has announced to others the big news that she has been promoted to the thirteenth level, it is most reasonable to have a thirteenth level witch inside and outside the forest.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the merged Butterfly Wing Girl and Sylvia finally gave up the idea of building portals inside and outside the city. The poor time and space environment made this approach very dangerous. However, the batch of "return" they made
But the "talisman" has been completed. This kind of charm Sylvia made during the Battle of Green Lake, allowing Shade to return to the hotel at any time when he was operating on Green Island (Chapter 1915).
This time, the "Return Spell" was not only provided by Sylvia's technology and Butterfly Girl's power, but also by Miss Eleser's support. Therefore, the talisman can allow the girls in the forest to return to the "Glory Messenger" at any time.
, but this spell is invalid within the city limits.
At 4:27 p.m., Sivi, Vanessa and Megan Audrey officially took people to the city. The three of them took away 70% of the high-level sorceresses and one-third of the middle-level sorceresses on the ship.
Sorceresses, and of course nearly 70% of the "Return Spells". They will connect with the church in the city to determine the resting place and temporary base of the Witch Council in the city, and then they will participate in the city defense battle until
Shade and Emilia return from "Time Transfer Station".
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shade and Emilia, who had made final preparations, also bid farewell to the remaining girls on the deck. Among the four "Holy Swords", Shade took away [Blood Sorrow], and Emilia
Holding the [Ocarina of Time], Xivi and the others who had just set off had already taken away the [Angel Right Arm] in advance to deal with the immortality of the "Watcher", while the [Night Watcher] had been taken away by Carina.
Xia De still felt uneasy about acting alone.
There was no need to say any more unnecessary words, and after finally confirming that the [Poetry Cards] had been put into his pocket, Shade waved goodbye to the girls who were seeing them off on the deck, and then jumped to the forest sea below with Emilia in his arms.
Luvia stood under the starry sky for a long time without coming back to her senses. It wasn't until Bella pulled her that she turned around and followed the people who stayed on the boat back.
A shadow with flowing long hair flashed past her shadow. The Rapunzel from the past life knew what would happen next, she knew everything. Because she had no ties, she had always been able to
Deal with the local accident as quickly as possible, but for Shade, who doesn't want anyone to sacrifice, he may not like the ending of the Woodland War very much.
Vista City, which seemed empty due to the city-wide martial law, gave Shade a sense of strangeness. Although most windows in the city in the dark were still lit, the indescribable depression and atmosphere filled the air.
The fear cannot be dispelled by light.
The light source at the top of the tower of the Golden Music Hall makes it difficult to see even in the deepest alley. But it is this visibility between complete darkness and a little light that best explains the source of the fear of the night that intelligent life continues to this day.
where.
After entering the city, Shade and Emilia went directly to the city center and stopped at the entrance of the Accordion Hotel, which was still under seal.
The door was sealed, and all the windows were boarded up. The once most famous hotel in the city completely declined without anyone expecting it. Even if it was bought by witches and reopened, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to recover.
To the excitement of the past.
Shade and Amelia hid in the alley behind the hotel. After frightening away the wild cats that were futilely searching for food in the trash can, they were the only ones left here.
The little elf squeezed Shade's hand, his face turned a little pale, he was both excited and nervous. They didn't exchange too many words until six o'clock in the evening, after the ups and downs of the ground, there was a roar in the distance~
The explosion was long overdue.
The bell tower above the Golden Concert Hall rang a series of bells after the continuous explosions in the forest subsided. To the local citizens, this represented the official start of the highest level of martial law. And for those actively or passively participating in this war
For the ring wizards, it means that the final story of Vesta Grove has finally begun.
Smoke and dust were scattered above the forest, and the seismic waves caused by the bomb explosion were first felt by the city, followed by a slightly later sound. The buzzing sound came from the deep pit at the explosion site, and when the first Paradox Bug emerged from that deep
As they flew out of the pit, the college professors responsible for detonating the rune bombs guided the first batch of awakened bugs to fly away from the city, but more bugs had already opened their eyes underground.
In the alleys of the city, Shade whispered to Emilia, who was staring blankly at the air in front of her with her lips pursed:
"Let's go."
The black invitation proved impossible to open, so Shade reached out and hugged Emilia, and after casting the spell, the two disappeared into the alley.
The next moment, the two figures appeared on the third floor of the hotel. Facing the familiar scenes that she had lived in for half a month, Emilia looked a little sad. The bustle of the past was long gone, and all the doors on both sides of the corridor were wide open.
The mess in the room was the last trace left by the witches before they evacuated.
There are no lights here, and even the steam pipe heating has stopped. Although this is not a home, just a place for a short stay, the elf girl still misses this place.
"We have received confirmation that the time transfer station is actually located among the remains of the World Tree."
Shade's voice sounded in the darkness, and the two of them were still holding hands:
"Thomas Bennet told me that the entire woodland is actually on the remains of the World Tree, which is consistent with the background information I learned about the ancient battle.
The time transfer station is actually a tree hole opened with the "Tree Hole Spell". Although its form of existence is very different from the tree hole spell we know, since the principle is the same, the method of opening it should be the same as the normal tree hole spell.
There are similarities."
After explaining this, after the ritual array of the sun, moon and stars under his feet lit up, [The Staff of Yectrasil] appeared in Shade's hand:
"The tree hole opened by the normal tree hole spell can be opened by poking the branch of the tree itself. Emilia, you also know the origin of the staff in my hand. Next, we need to face Thomas.
Bennet, in addition to himself, as a participant in the Time War, he will definitely bring in helpers in the end."
"Yes, Sister Elf has told me."
Emilia tugged on Shade's sleeve:
"The next battle will be mine. After all, the battle of time requires a fair one-on-one battle. Shade, I will not let you down."
"I'll stop any possible helpers for you. Since I didn't ask Miss Olanold to follow me, I will assume her responsibility. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Of all the battles tonight, I am the only one who can help you."
I only know that this one will never fail."
The little elf now had great determination. She took off the crown on her arm and put it on her head. The silver crown became the brightest light source at this time, and the emerald green light illuminated her head.
There are a few strands of green hanging hair in the long blond hair.
The two of them came to the stairs together and walked down. When they arrived on the second floor, the continuous explosions outside the window and the thin white mist spreading above the city were already announcing that the city defense war had officially begun.
The humming of insects could not be heard clearly in the hotel, but seeing the golden spherical shield completely covering the city, everyone knew what this meant.
"Emilia."
Shade raised the staff in his hand forward, and the elf nodded slightly and reached out to hold it.
[Staff of Yggdrasil] Although it can only be used by Shade or Luvia, at this moment the black staff resonated with the silver crown. As the two held the staff and raised it high,
As it hit the ground like a heavy hammer, the surrounding space rippled, and the space hidden behind the real hotel revealed its door:
