Chapter 3130 The final mission
Shade held the long-haired girl in his arms, and as Luvia looked at the black sun, he said softly:
"The reinforcement is complete. This is the seventh time."
"Is it too long since the first adventure?"
"Yes, but I also feel that this time I can finally share the secret of this staff with others."
She leaned against Shade's chest and felt his heartbeat:
"Don't be surprised that I finished strengthening it so quickly. The speed of time in the dream world is different from that in the outside world, and I have done this many times. Listen to me, Shade, the strengthened [Staff of Yggdrasil] is still considered an angel-level relic, but now that the story of the Chosen One of Time has ended, you can fully use its power."
"Wasn't it considered full use before?"
"Every time the staff goes through the Sixth Epoch, a new function is added. Now that the remains of the World Tree that is the core of the staff are dead, using those powers will not cause a time paradox."
She picked up the black staff with her left hand, and a series of golden runes appeared on the surface of the staff. Those runes not only told the secrets of time and trees, but also told the whole story of the world. In the past, this staff only glowed when used, but now it seems to have released all its power:
"The effect of the enhanced spell is further enhanced, and it also has the ability to transform into a tree. Stab it into the soil and let it grow into a giant tree. In this form, except for the spells cast by you and me, all abnormal time effects around will be suppressed."
"Unfortunately, this effect can only be used after the story of Vista Forest is over."
Shade said with regret, and Luvia placed the long staff flat on her legs:
"In addition, this staff can greatly enhance your power at any time. Yes, it also includes the 'Crystal Light'. And it can enhance the effects of Mystique and Words of Ascension. This is a special feature that no other relic can match."
"Because of the maze and the words of sublimation, can it be considered an incomplete small world?"
But Luvia disagrees with this view:
"In my opinion, these two can only be regarded as false space prototypes. Shade, don't interrupt me. Also, just like the [Ocarina of Time] gives the user additional spellcasting ability, this staff also has the following four spellcasting effects:
Ranged time freeze; revive war tree people; ode to life, large-scale healing ability; heart of the tree, promote plant growth. "
"Well, isn't this much stronger than the [Night Watcher] who is also an angel?"
Shade asked, and the long-haired girl smiled:
"Your sword is a weapon specifically designed to target evil spirits and demons. Its main value is the combat experience of the sword's successive wielders. It is a different type of weapon from this staff. Moreover, this staff has been strengthened seven times, so it is normal for it to be stronger.
More importantly, it has no negative attributes for you and me, and this is the greatest value.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Luvia."
"I told you not to interrupt me."
The tone of her voice was somewhat like a spoiled child:
"I haven't finished yet. The above is the original use of this staff. It was my main weapon in the past. Every time I got the opportunity to strengthen it, I would give it new features according to my own needs.
But this time in the sixth era, it belongs to you. So although the enhancement is complete, I did not choose the new features given by the seventh era. Xia De, before the end of the year, please tell me how you plan to enhance this staff next. "
"Are there any limits on how new traits can be added? Or can I do whatever I want?"
"It must have something to do with time or the power of the tree."
Luvia said gently, and reminded with a smile:
"Or if you want to switch from a sword to a long stick or a spear, I can also give it a unique enchantment effect. For example, when you hit an enemy, grass will grow on the enemy's head to absorb its vitality. How about that?"
Xia De also laughed:
"I still prefer to use a sword. It's more handsome to use a sword."
The purple-eyed girl then turned from his arms and hugged him, or rather hung around his neck like a koala:
"Shade, it's great to have your Sixth Era."
(Little Mia is running.)
The weather in the Woodlands had been sunny since the Battle of Vesta Grove, but on Thursday snowflakes were once again flying over the city, as if bidding farewell to those who were leaving the Woodlands.
"Come to think of it, there has been no snow in Tobisk this winter. Even though there was such a heavy snowstorm in the summer, the weather this year is really extremely abnormal."
At 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, Vista University had completed its full evacuation. While the church's ring wizards were making their final evacuation, Shade and Doctor Schneider stood at the sealed door of Professor Yuk Wood's office.
Shad's arms were placed on top of the rusty metal guardrail that looked unsound, while the doctor held on to the guardrail with both hands and looked at the snowy scene.
Unsure of the exact situation of the office once used by the Ancients, the Church made plans for the worst-case scenario, ensuring that even if another evil spirit or demon suddenly appeared, it would not immediately affect the entire city.
Professor Yuk Wood's office was the place that Shade and Ms. Carter visited together on that rainy day in the summer of 1821. At that time, Vista University was still called "Riverwood Forestry College". After 33 years, Vista has changed a lot, but the only change in this small building is that it has become more dilapidated.
Today, only one-third of the offices in this building are still in use, and most of the other rooms are used as storage rooms for various departments. Coming here, Shade can feel the changes of time and the unchanging Professor Yuk Wood. Of course, the heavy snow in front of him also reminded him of the scene when he visited with Ms. Helena Carter.
"Don't worry about the weather. Our fortune teller said that the first snow in Tobesk will arrive at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, and once it starts, it will soon turn into a blizzard that doesn't happen in a century. Doctor, you'd better stock up on daily necessities in advance."
Shade said idly. Bill Schneider, who was wearing a thin black coat but two layers of cashmere sweaters underneath, took note of the instructions:
"So what have you been up to these past few days? Will you all be attending this week's meeting?"
"In recent days, I dealt with the aftermath of this war a few days ago. Today, I went to the forest during the day to help deal with two paradox bugs that appeared out of nowhere."
In front of the small building is the courtyard behind Vista University. At this time, the light gathered by the lens illuminates the entire courtyard without any shadows or blind spots:
"Once we have resolved this matter, we will go back tomorrow. Time flies so fast, it feels like last year's New Year's Eve is just before our eyes."
The doctor laughed:
"People only sigh like this when they are older. Young people, you are just too busy to pay attention to the changes of the date at the top of the newspaper. Let me, an 'elder', give you some advice: Don't sigh that time is too fast, otherwise time will hear your complaints and make your life even shorter."
Bill Schneider always seems to be able to say something like this that makes sense, and Shade considers this to be a professional gift for a psychiatrist:
"Doctor, you are not an elder. An elder is another friend of ours."
He said with a smile, watching the snowflakes in the sky becoming denser and denser. Foreigners still like snow very much, because it is said that he was born in a snowy season in his hometown. However, considering the food problem this year, the hungry people should not be able to withstand such weather:
"Come to think of it, I met several real 'elders' in this city this year, and their stories were very interesting."
"So what did you learn from these stories?"
The doctor asked, but Shade shook his head slightly:
"After walking through the city and the paths through the forest, I finally found myself coming to the same conclusion as before I came here: Don't play with time, otherwise time will play with you."
But he then added:
"Of course, this autumn was not without gain. I established some new relationships and made promises with some people to walk hand in hand until the end of time."
He didn't explain it in detail, but the doctor who knew Xia De's private life understood it. He couldn't help but sigh:
"When I first met you, you didn't look like this. I don't mean to criticize you, I just lament that time can really change people, and you have changed too much."
Shade wanted to say something, but at this time the remaining ring mages downstairs had already completed the evacuation. Above the block where Vista University was located, a shield formed by spirits and elements that only the ring mages could see had been formed, so the two knew that they could take action.
They took out identical rings from their respective pockets, wiped the ring surface of the [Demon Hunting Seal] with their fingertips, and then put the rings on their fingers.
Shade picked up the sword standing beside the guardrail, hung the scabbard of [Bladeless] on his waist, and took [Night Watcher] in his hand. The doctor took out the "Monster Hunter's Notes" from the backpack at his feet and held it in his left hand.
The smiles on their faces disappeared. After checking their conditions again, the doctor took the first step:
"Let's go."
He reached out and pushed the door open. After a creaky sound, the indoor scene that no one had entered since the old professor left last time was exposed before his eyes.
Nothing happened.
The doctor who entered the room first turned the gas lamp knob on the wall, letting the gradually brightening light illuminate the small office.
When he saw the piles of documents in the room, the brown wooden desk surrounded by books and the old armchair, if it had not been snowing outside instead of raining, Shad almost thought he had returned to the rainy summer day of 1821.
PS: 1/3 more chapters will be updated on New Year’s Eve.
