Chapter 3087 Miss Werewolf’s Gift
Although the area of the open space had become several times larger than it was at the beginning, the Duchess quickly came to Shade's side, facing the different looks from her colleagues. She deliberately avoided looking at the lady standing next to Shade:
“It took a long time, but we finally found this.”
As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Tifa. The black-haired maid lowered her head, held the heavy gray stone box in both hands and handed it to Shad under the sea of stars.
The wind was blowing through the forest, and the treetops outside the clearing rustled. Snow fell on the smooth surface of the stone box. Shade did not catch it, but brushed away the snow with his right hand, looking at the already blurry sketches of angels, werewolves, elves, dragon maids, human women, and human men engraved on the surface of the stone box. The six patterns together surrounded the symbol of fire in the center.
Four thousand years have passed since the end of the six people's adventure.
"We tried to open it but we couldn't."
The witch said softly.
The stone box itself seemed to be a one-piece structure without any gaps. Shade stared at the box in a trance, nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then took out from his pocket the silver crescent pendant tied with a wolf hair rope that the werewolf girl gave him before leaving the Ash Valley.
He had been carrying this with him since he heard that the Secret Society of the Crescent Moon was looking for something.
Carefully place the crescent pendant on the flame symbol in the center of the box. When the crescent is close to the symbol, the six stick figures surrounding the flame all emit a silver glow.
The stone box did not open, and fine dust spilled out from the six flat sides. In just a few seconds, the whole box was blown away by the night wind. Tifa shook her hands gently, discarding all the sand in her hands, and thus the ancient bark buried in the sand was revealed.
It looked like a piece of freshly peeled bark, a little bigger than two palms put together. The texture on the upward outer surface was rough, the color of the bark was mixed, light brown with a hint of golden, and there were occasional tiny cracks winding through it, like ancient symbols.
"This is it."
A faint golden light attached to the bark. Shade covered it with his right hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he let the bark float beside him. After nodding slightly to the black-haired maid, he turned around and faced the old man in front of the throne again:
"Add this at the end, okay?"
The old man recognized what it was at a glance. Even though so many things had happened in the past two nights, he was still surprised:
"The bark of the World Tree? That's what the Moon-chasing witch stored underground?"
But after being surprised, he still hesitated:
"But this piece of bark alone is still not enough."
"This is not just tree bark. The original story about my puzzle, the story about the Eternal Crystal, is recorded here. Someone once told me that the original story has a very strong amplifying effect on magic and spells that originate from that story, and can even completely change the effect of magic and spells."
Xia De looked at the floating and rotating bark. The inner side of the bark was facing him. On it were still the stories he had written with his telegraph about forests, crystals, obsession and eternity. However, below his stories, there were also stick figures carved with sharp claws, the same as the patterns on the surface of the stone box.
This is what Miss Bister carved after she left the Ash River Valley in order to preserve the lost memories. Shade didn't know about this, but he guessed that the girl with wolf ears wanted to commemorate the adventure of everyone forever.
"If this is the case"
The old man in front of the throne stroked his beard and hesitated for a moment, and finally gave a different answer from before:
"Maybe, maybe not. I've never thought of this possibility, and no one has ever tried it before. You can try, but I warn you, if you fail, you will need to get the elf or yourself into that chair immediately. Once you start, there will be no turning back."
"So, to complete the Ritual of the Chosen One, do I have to become a tree?"
"No, you can choose not to become a tree, but simply inherit the power. Becoming a tree is only a possibility after the ceremony. I understand. Let's hold the Chosen Ceremony first. With the help of the Chosen of Time, your attempt may be smoother."
So those eyes that did not dare to fall on Luvia fell on Emilia. The elf lady still had red eyes at this time. When she saw everyone looking at her, she quickly wiped away her tears.
At this time, Carina had already led the "Chocobo Riders" to join the parliament team, and then learned about the general situation from Grandma Cassandra.
"Do I want to perform the ceremony now? Yes, no problem."
Emilia said, and the old man stretched out his hand to Shade again:
"Since you have made your decision, give me the dwarf's bomb. While she is performing the ceremony, I will go and completely blow up the transfer station inside the remains of the World Tree. That thing should not be left behind. By the way, I also left this bomb in the city on purpose."
Xia De gave him the bomb directly. The old man must have a way to stop time, so Xia De did not cancel his own magic.
"I'll go with you."
Luvia said, and then a voice appeared in Shade's mind:
"I'm going to retrieve the seventh tree heart."
"Is this what the Staff of Yggdrasil is made of?"
"Not completely. It can only be regarded as one of the main materials, and also the most important one."
The old man nodded, and the white mist barrier unfolded in front of him. He stepped in, and the long-haired Luvia holding a staff followed him in, and the shadow formed by Shade's shadow also left with him. The moment she left, the stars and the 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 was restored at the same time, and the glowing runes on the four smaller chairs also lit up. Except for Shade, everyone felt as if the huge stone in their hearts had disappeared, the sound of the wind became less deep, and the natural sounds outside the forest finally came, and the place was no longer completely silent.
Some sounds of fighting could still be heard from the direction of the city in the distance, but the sounds were no longer dense and frequent, and the battle in the direction of the city should be about to end.
“Emilia.”
"Okay, I'm ready."
The elf girl wiped the tears off her face and said hurriedly, and the people under the tree gradually retreated to the periphery of the open space. When Emilia walked to the center of the open space alone, Shade joined the girls of the Witch Council and followed Little Lianna to retreat to the periphery of the open space.
He reached out to pat the dishonest cat on his chest, but another hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist. He turned around and saw Adele, the big blonde witch with teardrop moles at the corners of her eyes stared at him angrily. Of course, this was because of the appearance of long-haired Luvia.
“I hadn’t thought of that before.”
He expressed his meaning with his lips, but the witch still refused to give in, and it seemed that she wanted Xia De to come up with a reasonable explanation right now.
The other witches just watched the two interacting. Carina and the little witch Vanessa pretended not to see them talking together. Granny Cassandra was supported by Miss Swift and ignored them. Flora, however, gave Sylvia a look:
"What's going on with them?"
The young space witch winked:
"How should I know? Why don't you ask?"
Flora shook her head hastily. She had great confidence in Shade, so she wasn't worried about whether he would be able to seal the seal successfully. So she started thinking about what she should paint in the sixth and final painting she promised to give Shade after this matter was over.
"There shouldn't be a bigger scene tonight than just now. What should I draw? He and three moon sorceresses casting spells under the moon? This can be more religious. He welcomes the woman who cannot be looked at directly in the palm of the ancient? This can add some stream of consciousness content. After all, I don't know who that is. Why are there only pictures of Shade with others?"
She then thought about painting herself transformed into an undead dragon, dancing with the moonlight dragon under the moon. The spiral of life and death could be set as a theme. Although this had never actually happened, she could definitely let Shade do this once after the war was over.
"Anyway, there shouldn't be anything else happening, right?"
After everyone retreated to the edge of the clearing, Emilia was left standing alone under the starlight. The ritual of the Chosen One of Time required a special venue, and there was no place in the woods more suitable than this.
The giant trees rustled in the night wind at this moment. After the ancients and the Daughter of Destruction Time left temporarily, this place belonged to the era of "human beings"; snowflakes danced all around, and the pure white snow represented the pure white soul; starlight projected down from the round gap in the canopy above the head, and people from the past, present and "future" were watching her together, expecting her to complete the final ceremony.
Being watched by so many people, Emilia was actually a little embarrassed. She thought to herself that if Shade failed, she would take over. She coughed and cleared her throat, then lowered her head to tidy up her clothes and straightened the crown on her head.
The [Ocarina of Time] was temporarily inserted into the snow, and Emilia, who was ready, called out her life ring again. However, this time she did not invoke the power of the crown, so the life ring was still eight rings.
"In the name of the World Tree - Yggdrasil -"
She stretched out her right hand, first with the back of her hand facing up, so that the complete leaf pattern could be seen. When the light was bright enough, the elf girl stretched out her left hand as well, holding the two hands together with the palms facing up:
"Show yourself, newborn sapling, tree of the future, axis of time."
