Chapter 3137 Split Tree Stick
"I have no idea about the words of high-ring sublimation for the time being. This matter can be decided before being promoted to the tenth ring, right?"
"You can indeed decide before you are promoted to the next level, but I still suggest that you make a choice as soon as possible so that I can arrange your future study plan and the arrangement of obtaining spirit runes as soon as possible. This way, you will have a lot of things to deal with before the end of the year."
She hugged Xia De's neck with both hands and leaned on his shoulders, and Xia De smiled and said:
"But Emilia can't let her go even once. I think even if she goes to my house to review, she will probably only pass the exam with a low score. After all, after three years, she has almost forgotten all the previous courses.
It was too much for her to finish a whole semester's worth of knowledge in just one and a half months, and even have to make up for the essay and potion homework. Rather than letting her pass with a low score, it would be better to let Emilia spend more time to really master the knowledge. "
The red-haired girl teased:
"Why? Are you feeling sorry for the elf who wears the crown for you?"
She didn't let Xia De answer, and snorted softly:
"Later, I will ask her to write a paper on chocobo breeding. The chocobo population in the academy was domesticated thousands of years ago. It is different from the wild population in the forest. This paper is very valuable. When she finishes writing it, I will ask her to use this paper to offset the insufficient credits and let her move some of the courses that are offered in both spring and autumn to the next semester.
But Xia De, don't tell her about this now. It's time for that girl to concentrate on her studies. I will announce the good news to her in the middle of next month."
Shade had no objection to this. Emilia did need to adapt to student life again after returning to the academy. However, Shade would give Emilia some hints later to prevent her from being exhausted.
As for whether Emilia can understand it, it depends on her own understanding.
That night, Shade stayed in the college library until nine o'clock in the evening before returning. The red-haired girl actually hinted that she wanted to invite Shade to visit her residence in the college - she obviously didn't live in the library, but because Luvia would stay overnight at St. Teresa's Square after working overtime tonight, Shade declined:
"Mi Mia is still waiting for me at home."
When he got home, Luvia hadn't come back yet, so Shade went to the Prophet's Association alone in the thick fog at night. The gatekeeper of the association also knew Shade, and when he heard that Shade was coming to pick up Luvia after get off work, he smiled and let him in.
When Shade saw Luvia, she was drinking strong tea in the office area on the third floor, looking at a pile of parchments filled with numbers with great annoyance:
"I remember you didn't do accounting."
"This is not a year-end financial report, this is numerology. I am now a licensed fortuneteller who has passed the qualification exam for a registered fortuneteller, and I need to undertake some of the official fortune-telling work assigned by the association. Xia De, just say a number."
"Thirteen."
Luvia then took a pencil and wrote some numbers on the manuscript paper, and from time to time she would pull out a few cards from her fortune-telling deck to see the results. Shad held Mia in his arms and watched her work, but neither the cat nor the outsiders knew how to tell fortunes, so they mainly played the paw clapping game.
After Luvia finished the divination, she went to the locker room to change out of the association's uniform and went home with Shade. The smog outside was very heavy, so their steps were also very fast, but the tired purple-eyed girl was very happy:
"Before I met you, I never thought that one day I would find a family member who could walk with me at night after get off work."
Before Xia De responded, she frowned slightly again:
"Whose perfume is that on you though? I've never smelled anything like it before. Did you go to St. Byrons?"
That night, Luvia also stayed in Shad's bedroom for the first time in a long time. Shad was originally wondering whether the long-haired girl would let him dream tonight, but the long-haired Luvia really called him into his dream again:
"Yes, yes. I know I said before that we can't have this kind of contact often, but since you called me to the real world, Shade, I can't stand the loneliness here any more."
Under the dim sky, the two people leaned against each other. Xia De did not mention the matter of the staff immediately, but asked:
"I never asked before, but now I have reached a high level, and some things may be solved. Luvia, as Luvia's alter ego, can you only appear in her dreams like this? In this sixth era, before the end of the world, can't you use normal means to appear?"
The long-haired girl before sunset knew what Shade was thinking. She pursed her lips and unconsciously revealed a gentle expression as she listened to Shade's question:
"I am her. When you see her, you see me. There is no difference."
Xia De put his arm around her shoulders and was silent for a moment:
"I shouldn't have said these words, but in my opinion, you and she have completely different personalities. If one day you two really become one, I will think that I have lost both of you at once."
"My self and my other self will never merge into one. Once you become a ring mage, there is no possibility of regret. Are you worried that you will completely merge with the voice in your ear? That is impossible, Shade."
She curled up in Shade's arms:
“In fact, it’s good like this now. I don’t care who you embrace in the real world. As long as I know your feelings for Luvia Annette, both the real me and the me in my dreams will be very happy.
Shade, don't try to make me appear for a long time, don't do that."
Later, Shad also told Luvia about the "tree house" and the "branching trunk", and Rapunzel said that although both features can be realized, Shad cannot have both.
Xia De wanted to ask for her opinion. The purple-eyed girl refused to give any idea at first. After Xia De's repeated requests, she said:
“Give Emilia a branch of the tree trunk. If she can really put the [Staff of Yggdrasil] into the life ring, maybe she can reversely nourish the dead tree trunk and let you share the power of the chosen one. This is much more valuable than a portable tree house.
I have to admit that when Ajelina doesn't focus most of her attention on power and war, her wisdom can be put to better use."
Xia De also thought this was better, so he abandoned the idea of a tree house:
"Come to think of it, Luvia, when you became the Chosen One of Time, didn't you try to put the Staff of Yggdrasil into the Life Ring behind you?"
The purple-eyed girl winked at him:
"Shad, when I chose to be the Chosen One, I would not peel the World Tree sapling from the Life Ring in order to protect the forest. Since I have the full power of the Chosen One of Time to use, why should I use that staff? If you hadn't appeared, this possibility would never have appeared to me."
She gave the staff new properties, simply took the key into her dream, and with a light tap, the black key turned into two.
The newly split key is smaller than the real [Key of Y'k'trasil], but in order to better distinguish them, Luvia decided to engrave letters on the smaller key:
“Just write ‘The World Tree and the Silver Moon coexist’ as the activation spell for the new key, and Emilia won’t have to say ‘In the name of Luvia Anat’. Also, I’m going to give Emilia access to the staff. Since that girl has taken my things, she should learn to listen to you from now on.
Of course, she only has the authority to use the Branch Staff, and the World Tree Staff is still only available to you and me."
The power of the new staff is certainly not as strong as the original one in Shade's hand, but according to Luvia's estimation, it should be fine to regard it as a sage-level (level 2) relic.
Its function is only to enhance the spellcasting effects of the power of time and the power of the tree, and does not contain any other characteristics.
"What should the new staff be called?"
Shade asked Luvia who was casting a spell on two staffs. He was not good at naming, so Luvia said:
"Just call it 'Tree Staff'. This staff isn't very powerful, so a simple and straightforward name is best."
Of course, Shad and Luvia can also use the split "tree staff". After reciting the spell, the black key turns into a long staff that is basically the same in appearance as the [Staff of Yggdrasil], but it is slightly shorter, and the ritual array of the sun, moon and stars will not appear under their feet during the manifestation process.
"I have set up separate permissions. You or I who hold the main body can directly recycle the tree stick into the main body, or force the tree stick to become a key. This way, we don't have to worry about Emilia betraying us."
"Isn't this necessary?"
"You can trust them, but I can't. Someone has to be responsible for keeping vigilance."
When Luvia finished casting the last spell, she asked Xiang Xiade:
"I have already set up the authority to recycle the tree staff. Do you need further functions? After Emilia puts the tree staff into the life ring, you and I have the authority to directly lock her spellcasting ability."
Xia De tapped her head gently:
“I know you used to be cautious when you were alone, but there’s no need to use such means to control our friends now. No, just be able to recycle the tree stick, and don’t restrict Emilia.”
The long-haired girl murmured softly:
"Got it. You can rest assured about her, but my attitude will never change. I won't completely trust anyone in this world except you."
"Including yourself?"
After solving the problem of the staff, the girl who had already reached out to unbutton Shade's coat nodded quickly:
"Of course, the person I can least trust is myself."
After getting the "tree stick", Shad sent Luvia to work early on Sunday morning, and then took Mia to the library of St. Byron's. This time, Danister was in the library, and when Shad came to her office, the administrator was drinking morning tea.
