Although the area of the open space has become several times larger than the original, facing the different eyes of her colleagues, the duchess quickly came to Shade. She deliberately avoided looking at Shade who was standing there.
The lady next to you:
"Although it took a long time, we finally found this."
After saying that, she handed the box in her hand to Tifa, and the black-haired maid lowered her head, holding the heavy gray stone box in both hands and handed it to Shade under the star sea.
The wind rushed through the forest, rustling the tree crowns outside the clearing. Snow fell on the smooth surface of the stone box. Shade did not catch it, but brushed off the snowflakes with his right hand and looked at the words engraved on the surface of the stone box,
There are already somewhat blurred simple drawings of angels, werewolves, elves, dragon maids, human women, and human men, and the six patterns surround the symbol representing fire in the center.
Four thousand years have passed since the six people's adventure ended.
"We tried to open it but couldn't."
The witch said softly.
The stone box itself seemed to be a one-piece structure without any gaps. Shade looked at the box in trance. After gently nodding his head to express his understanding, he took out the stone that the werewolf girl had given him before leaving the "Ashes Valley".
Silver crescent moon pendant tied with wolf hair rope.
After he heard that the [Crescent Moon Secret Order] was looking for something, he kept this with him.
Carefully place the crescent moon pendant on the flame symbol in the center of the box surface. When the crescent moon comes close to the symbol, the six simple figures surrounding the flame all emit a silver glow.
The stone box was not opened because of this, and fine sand and dust overflowed from the six flat sides. In just a few seconds, the entire box was blown away by the night wind. Tifa gently shook her hands to remove all the sand in her hands.
It was discarded, thus revealing the ancient bark buried in the dust.
It looked like a piece of newly peeled bark, larger than two palms put together. The texture on the upward surface was rough, and the color of the bark was intertwined. There was a little golden color in the light brown, and there were occasional small cracks.
Meandering above it, there seems to be ancient symbols.
"That's it."
A faint golden light adhered to the bark of the tree. Shade covered it with his right hand. After confirming that there was no problem, he let the bark float around him. After nodding lightly to the black-haired maid, he again
Turning around to face the old man in front of the throne:
"Is it okay to add this at the end?"
The old man recognized what it was just at a glance. Even though so many things happened in the past two nights, he was still surprised by it:
"The bark of the World Tree? Is this what the witch who chased the moon stored underground?"
But after being surprised, he still hesitated:
"But this piece of bark alone is still not enough."
"This is not just bark. The original story about my mythical lock, the story about the eternal crystal, is recorded here. Someone once told me that the original story about the thaumaturgy and spell originated from that story.
The magic has a very strong amplifying effect, and can even completely change the effects of thaumaturgy and magic spells."
Shade looked at the floating and rotating bark. At this time, the inner side of the bark happened to be facing him. There were still stories about the forest, crystals, obsession and eternity that he had written using "reading and writing" on it. It was just that in his eyes
Underneath the story, there are also simple symbols carved with sharp claws that are the same as the ones on the surface of the stone box just now.
This is what Miss Bister carved in order to retain the fading memory after she left the "Valley of Ashes". Shade didn't know about this, but just guessed that the girl with wolf ears wanted to permanently commemorate everyone's time.
adventure.
"If so"
The old man in front of the throne stroked his beard and hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a different answer than before:
"Maybe, maybe not. I have never thought of this possibility, and no one has ever tried this. You can try it, but I want to warn you, if you fail, you need to ask the elf or elf immediately
It's you who sits in that chair. Once you start, there's no turning back."
"So to complete the ceremony of the chosen one, do I have to become a tree?"
"No, you can choose not to become a tree. You can just inherit the power. Becoming a tree is just a possibility after the ceremony. I understand. Let's hold the Chosen Ceremony first. With the help of the Time Chosen One, your attempt may be
It will be smoother."
So those eyes that did not dare to fall on Luvia all fell on Emilia. The elf lady's eyes were still red at this time, and when everyone looked at her, she hurriedly wiped away her tears.
At this time, Carina had already led the "Chocobo Riders" to join the council team, and then learned about the general situation from Granny Cassandra.
"Do I want to have the ceremony now? Okay, no problem."
Emilia said, and the old man extended his hand to Shade again:
"Now that you have made your decision, give me the dwarf's bomb. While she is performing the ceremony, I am going to completely blow up the transfer station that exists inside the remains of the World Tree. That thing should not be left behind.
By the way, I left this bomb in the city on purpose."
Shade gave him the bomb directly. The old man must have a way to remove the stasis of time, so Shade did not remove his thaumaturgy.
"I'll go with you."
Luvia said, and then the voice appeared in Shade's heart:
"I'm going to recover the seventh tree heart."
"Is this what the [Staff of Yggdrasil] is made of?"
"Not exactly, it can only be regarded as one of the main materials, and it can also be regarded as the most important material."
The old man nodded, and the white mist barrier unfolded in front of him. He stepped in, and the long-haired Luvia holding the staff also entered it. Also leaving with her was the shadow transformed from Shade's shadow. She
The moment they left, the stars and moon in the night sky suddenly lit up, but then people realized that this was what the starry sky should look like.
The light of the giant tree also recovered at the same moment, and the luminous runes on the four smaller seats also lit up. Except for Shade, everyone felt as if the boulder in their hearts disappeared, and the sound of the wind became no longer so low.
The sounds of nature finally came, and everything here was no longer silent.
Please collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
On the contrary, some sounds of fighting in the direction of the city can still be heard in the distance, but the sounds are no longer dense and frequent, and the fighting in the direction of the city should be almost over.
"Emilia."
"Okay, I'm ready."
The elf girl wiped away the tears on her face and said hurriedly, and the people under the tree gradually retreated towards the outside of the clearing. When Emilia walked to the center of the clearing alone, Shade joined the girls from the Witch Council and followed Xiaoli
Anna also retreated towards the outside of the open space.
He stretched out his hand to pat the dishonest cat on his chest, but his wrist was held by another hand reaching out from the side. He turned around and saw Adele, a blond witch with tear moles at the corners of her eyes staring at her.
Shade looked at him with bulging eyes. Of course, this was because of the appearance of long-haired Luvia.
"I didn't think of it before."
He expressed his meaning with his mouth, but the witch was still unwilling to give up. It seemed that she wanted Shade to come up with a reasonable explanation now.
The other big witches just watched the interaction between the two. Carina and the little witch Vanessa got together to communicate and pretended not to notice. Mother-in-law Cassandra was being supported by Miss Swift and ignored it. On the other hand, Flo
La cast a look at Sylvia:
"What's going on with them?"
The young space witch blinked:
"How do I know? Otherwise, you ask?"
Flora shook her head hastily. She had great confidence in Shade, so she didn't worry about whether he could successfully seal it in a while. So at this time, she thought about the sixth and final oil painting promised to Shade when this matter was over.
What exactly should be painted in an oil painting:
"There shouldn't be a bigger scene tonight than just now. What should I draw? He and the three sorceresses of the moon cast spells under the moon? This can be something religious. He welcomed the man in the palm of the ancient one.
The girl who cannot be looked at directly? This can add some stream of consciousness content, after all, I don’t know who it is, etc. Why are they all scenes of Shade and others?"
She then thought that it would be better to paint herself transformed into an undead dragon and dancing under the moonlight with the Moonlight Dragon. The spiral of life and death could be set as a theme. Although this incident did not actually happen, she could definitely create this scene.
Let Shade do this once after the war.
"Anyway, nothing else should happen, right?"
After everyone retreated to the edge of the clearing, only Emilia was left standing alone under the starlight. The chosen ceremony of time requires a special place, and there will never be any place more suitable than here in this woodland.
.
The giant tree rustled in the night wind at this moment. After the ancient one and the daughter of destroying time left temporarily, this place belonged to the era of "humanity"; snowflakes were dancing around, and the pure white snow represented pure white.
Soul; starlight is projected from the circular gap in the canopy above her head. People in the past, present and "future" are watching her together, looking forward to her completing the final ritual.
Emilia was actually a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people. She thought that if Shade failed later, she would stand up for him. She coughed and cleared her throat, then lowered her head to tidy up her clothes and put her head on top.
The crown is straightened.
[Ocarina of Time] was temporarily inserted into the snow, and Emilia was prepared and called out her life ring again. However, this time she did not activate the power of the crown, so the life ring was still eight rings.
"In the name of Yggdrasil, the world tree——"
She stretched out her right hand, first with the back of her hand pointing upwards, so that the complete leaf pattern could be revealed. After the light was bright enough, the elf girl also stretched out her left hand, holding the two hands together with the palms facing upward:
"Appear, the sapling of the new birth, the tree of the future, the axis of time."
