Chapter 3053 The Watchmaker's Problem (Updated)
Although Miss Orlanod did not reveal her life ring, the woman in front of the tree cast a vigilant look at her as if she knew the information in advance.
But the "watchmaker" was obviously not afraid of this ancient witch. She raised her right hand to show the back of her hand. The slightly sparse leaf patterns on the back of her hand were unusually clear at the end of the dim temple:
"Since you have come to me, it means that Thomas Bennett has been defeated. But this is normal. If I also had the help of the 'God Summoner' and the assistance of the Fifth Age Witch, I could have gone that far. But fortunately, the Ancient One in the forest is also a good helper, especially he is very generous.
I can guarantee that if I fail this time, I will really fail. In fact, for me and the [Tree Hole Association], the things given to us by the ancients in the forest have already satisfied the purpose of our coming to the forest. But if you get benefits from others, you must always return the favor, so I am standing here. "
"Are you trying to say that you don't want to qualify for the Time War again?"
Emilia asked, and the "Watchmaker" thought about it carefully and nodded:
"I don't have much desire to be the chosen one. We came here just for the secret of time. The ancients asked me to appear before you again in exchange for giving us the secret. That's about it."
She placed her left hand behind her back against the tree trunk. As she finished her words, the thirteen needles on the ends of her hair all pierced into the trunk of the tree, and the green tree immediately burst into light.
Everyone stood there and watched what she was going to do. If she wanted to break the fair rules, then the three thirteenth ring warlocks present would tell her what was fair. However, although the tree burst into light, it did not intend to attack anyone. In the light, a figure with pointed ears walked out from the trunk.
The body was illusory at first, but as the tree regained its green appearance, the illusory figure solidified until it completely took on the appearance of a living person.
A tall elf over two meters tall appeared from the "Tree of Memory". He was wearing fully armed elven armor, and on his shiny silver breastplate there were patterns of the ancient elven kingdom that no one except Shade and Emilia could recognize.
Although this is indeed an elf, in most people's eyes he is as big as a brown bear. The tall elf glanced at the people in front of the tree, and finally looked at Emilia wearing a silver crown:
"Is it you who wants to become the Elf King?"
Although he looked like an ancient man, what he said was very standard Carsenric common language. Emilia nodded and whispered:
"You're not a helper in the Time War, are you?"
"The Time War?"
The burly ancient elf asked in confusion, and then immediately understood:
"So it's already the last one. Do you want to take part in the trial?"
"Trial? Trial to become a king?"
The sturdy elf stared at Emilia seriously for a few seconds:
"No, no one is qualified to judge whether you can become king. When we built this underground building, we left a unique memory here for the future Elf King. If you want to get that memory, you need to participate in the trial."
The smiling "watchmaker" also spoke:
"Little elf, go and take part in the test. If you pass the test, I will admit defeat to you; if you fail, I will also admit defeat to you. I am no longer in the mood to fight with you. I think if I can win more easily, you will not object, right?"
Emilia had not expected this situation, so she looked up and asked Miss Orlanod for advice. The librarian did not speak, after all, she knew that Shade was the only one who made the decision here.
"who are you?"
Shade asked, and the elf who walked out of the tree cast his eyes towards him, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed slightly:
"Son of the Moon, I'm sorry I didn't notice you just now. I am a memory left by the Elf King who lived in the Second Age. My mission is to pass on that sealed ancient memory. Are you the guardian of this young elf? If you are worried about my authenticity, you can accompany her to participate in the trial."
After a brief hesitation, Shade closed his eyes and carefully sensed the elements that made up the sturdy elf before nodding:
"You go, Emilia. But let Miss Orlanod accompany you. The other two gentlemen and I will look after the 'Watchmaker.'
Miss Orlanod then took Emilia's hand, and the sturdy ancient elf nodded, and disintegrated into emerald green light points, and then those light points formed a glowing door in front of the tree.
That was a pure miracle element, which could not be faked. Moreover, those who had elven blood present, including but not limited to Emilia, Miss Orlanod, Mr. Elrond, and the members of the elven team, could all feel the power connected to their own blood.
Emilia and Miss Orlanod walked into the door hand in hand. The door was not closed, but what was happening inside could not be observed from the outside.
However, Shade was able to sense Emilia's location with the help of the "Eternal Fire Seal", and the elf was not far away.
The "watchmaker" continued to lean against the glowing tree and took out her pocket watch to take a look. However, she should be able to accurately perceive time like Shade, so this action was meaningless:
"While the elf is still busy, Godcaller, let's talk."
Her fake eye looked at Shade again, not seeming to be concerned about her own safety:
"I first heard your story last summer, when..."
Both of her eyes met Shade's. She originally just wanted to observe the expression of the "God Summoner", but at this moment she found that there seemed to be a flash of purple light in the eyes of the "God Summoner".
The light was not dazzling, but the appearance of the purple made her heart seem to stop instantly. Because in the purple, she saw a woman with a blurred face knocking down an ancient tree with one punch. She saw the woman with a blurred face holding up a magic wand in the blazing fire in the forest as if she was going to pull down the moon.
Then the woman standing alone in the sea of fire turned and looked at her. Her purple eyes filled with murderous intent seemed to be looking through the eyes of the God Summoner, through the barrier of time and directly looking at the "present".
Then, with a click, a crack appeared on the surface of the magic eye of the left eye of the "Watchmaker", which was almost impossible for a relic. The "Watchmaker", who failed to pass the panic judgment, trembled all over, leaned against the big tree behind him in the middle of his words, and fell down limply.
Her behavior was so strange that no one in the team was able to control her while she was unconscious.
By the time the doubtful people gradually realized what was happening, the leaf pattern on the back of the "watchmaker's" hand forced her to wake up. She stood up again by holding onto the tree trunk, but she no longer dared to look into the eyes of the "god-caller".
Shade didn't know what was going on. It was only when the other party started talking again that he remembered the blessing that the long-haired girl had given him not long ago.
"I first heard your story last summer. At that time, it was rumored that you represented an unknown moon god and opened the prelude to the epic of Whispering Poems for the Sixth Era. The gods gave you the power to open the epic of this era, which also symbolizes the legitimacy of the chosen ones."
She tried hard to control her eyes and never look at the eyes of the "God Summoner" again:
"Although I later heard that you were also good at the power of time and space, it was not until the story of the eighth chosen one in Vista Forest that I knew what the so-called 'mastery of the power of time and space' meant.
I think you should be immune to most of the time effects, right? This is an enviable talent that none of us candidates for the Chosen One of Time have. I am curious about where this talent comes from since you are not the Chosen One. The ancient Elf King just called you the 'Son of the Moon', which shows that your connection with the gods is mainly related to the moon. Then, God Caller, please tell me, why does the Tree Father favor you so much? "
"Watchmaker, no one here should be questioned by you, or answer your boring questions."
Mr. Gerard Delong, the "Master of Construction", said this, and the woman in front of the tree laughed:
"So what if I am willing to trade questions for questions? Godcaller, answer my questions and I can tell you where the Ancient One is now."
"Do we still need you to tell us the answer?"
Bella asked back:
"We already know the location of the Ancient Ones. Don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Witch Council."
"Then I can throw out other information: what will the Ancient Ones prepare for you in the woods, Godcaller, don't you want to know?"
The woman in front of the tree asked again with a smile. This time no one spoke. After thinking for a moment, Xia De said:
"The Tree Father was willing to grant me a favor because I did something with the Time Key."
This was a very honest answer, but it was not Xia De who took the initiative to ask for the tasks, but those tasks came to him on their own, so even if he said it out loud, he was not afraid that someone would do the same thing.
"Time Key? If so
Godcaller, the enemies you have defeated will reappear tonight. The Ancient One used the Time Clone to bring your acquaintances from the past to the present. Those you thought were dead may give you an unexpected surprise tonight. The Time Clone only intercepted a fragment of history. No matter what they do now, it will not affect the past. You should understand what this means. "
The "watchmaker" said, without giving everyone time to think, he continued to ask:
"Do you still want to play this game? Next question: I want to know what your relationship is with the witches."
She laughed wildly:
"Don't give me ambiguous answers. You just need to answer yes or no now: Do you have an intimacy beyond normal with those crazy women of the [Witch Council]? If you are willing to answer this question, then I can tell you what our [Tree Hole Association] has learned from the Ancient Ones."
