"Yes, [Huasheng Ring]."
It smiled lightly:
"This ring is of very ancient origin, older than most relics you have. I have seen it in the distant past, when it was used as part of an ancient wedding ceremony to ensure that whoever completed the ceremony would marry a person of the opposite sex.
But this is certainly not its original purpose. The ancient witches mastered a unique secret method to make it manifest its power, and coincidentally, I also know how to achieve this transformation from projection to entity. But if you want to know, you must..."
It must have paused like this on purpose:
"You don't have to go too far. Since you don't want to expose your beloved girls to the cold in the snow, just kiss them one by one."
If she had said this directly at the beginning, Xia De would probably not agree. But after the excessive request just now, after hearing this request, he actually thought that maybe it would be okay to agree.
Turning to look at Emilia and Emilia, the little elf pulled Shad's right hand and bravely looked up at him; as for the grown-up elf, because she had experienced this incident once, she felt "sad" for her past self.
"Shad, promise her."
Little Emilia whispered. Just as Shade was about to speak, the woman's voice in the pink snow rang out again under the night sky:
"You must be joking. Why would I embarrass you like this? Dissolve the crystal I gave the elf with the pink essence, and then place the [Transformation Ring] into it. After a few dozen seconds, the ring will allow the projection to have a body that can support high-intensity combat."
It was really laughing happily at the moment. It was definitely just teasing Emilia:
"Of course you may doubt that I want to use this method to corrupt the lady who has turned into a tree. But I have really helped you many times, haven't I? Moreover, I am also looking forward to the day when you see her again. Remember to come to Yuewan to find me when you have time. I am even more looking forward to the day when you come to me for help again."
After the laughter, it should really leave this time, and Emilia, whose face was red and ready to explode, only wished that she could turn back time and completely delete Shade's memory. If she just said she wanted to give him a kiss, it would be fine, but she just agreed to be with her people.
When recalling this night many years later, Emilia Sienord still believed that this was the most difficult moment she faced in the thrilling Battle of Vista Grove.
But at least now Shadra held their hands and returned to the real world with them. After all, tonight's mission was only the first one completed.
The location of the time transfer station is inside the remains of the World Tree, and the drop of divinity that Shade wants to find is also inside the World Tree. In fact, he doesn't have to leave in such a hurry, and it's okay to stay inside and search for it.
But the time freeze had been broken, and they couldn't stay there for too long. In addition, the pink snow made him think of more things, so Shad resolutely pulled Emilia and Emilia away.
After crossing the icy door, they returned directly to the dim third floor of the Accordion Hotel. The flickering light coming in from the window illuminated the different expressions of the three people, and those flickering lights were actually the manifestation of the ring warlocks constantly casting spells and fighting above the city of Vesta.
"So, Thomas Bennett is really defeated, right? Not only did we defeat the third candidate, but he is also the monster that symbolizes 'water'!"
Out of danger, the little elf pretended that the "consent to kiss" incident had not happened just now, and asked excitedly at this time, but there were some things that Shade could only explain to her after leaving the place just now:
"That's right. But don't you feel something is wrong?"
The flickering light illuminated Shade's uncertain face. The older elf sighed and put his hand on the elf's shoulder. They didn't have much time to explain the situation to Emilia.
"Think about it carefully, Emilia. Since Thomas Bennet's escape plan must have been carried out without the knowledge of the Ancients in the forest, why would the branch of the World Tree, which symbolizes 'water', be in his hand?
Before Bennett prayed for that power, he didn't meet the requirements at all. After all, monsters that met the requirements would directly put the branches into their bodies to strengthen themselves. So why did the power Bennett prayed for happen to be the power of the ocean and water? "
The elf hesitated and thought for a moment, and her pointed ears immediately stood up in fear. She leaned on Shade's arm, feeling insecure, and then looked around with wide eyes, as if she was worried that something was spying on them:
"You mean, the Ancient One already knew what Bennet would do? It already knew that Bennet would ask for help from the one just now?"
Xia De nodded:
"I even suspect that the Ancient One was actually conspiring with the mermaid to make this happen. This possibility is very high. You have to know that we were able to enter the transit station because the Ancient One invited us to fight with his pigeons.
But why could that mermaid appear so easily inside the remains of the World Tree? And could she use her power so wantonly? She might be stronger than the Ancient One, but would she be that much stronger? "
"Um"
The little elf then came up with an incredible answer:
"Including Bennett's escape, the Ancient One had already arranged everything? Even the appearance of that person just now was also discussed long ago. But why? Did it want to let Bennett go? Or did it deliberately want us to win the first game to paralyze us?"
The big elf shook his head helplessly at this naive idea, and Shade motioned for the two to follow him and leave. Now was not the time to stand here and talk about things:
"Emilia, I just said that I met Thomas Bennet many times in the past, and once he ran out of the Doomsday Crack. So guess why he appeared in the future Doomsday era?"
The elf shook his head in confusion, and Shade sighed and gave the answer:
"After millions of years, he must have become stronger. The Ancient One didn't have to do anything to get a strengthened chess piece. I think Thomas Bennet will appear again tonight. According to my guess, although he may have entered the Doomsday Era just because he wants to be our enemy next time, you will still have to fight him again.
Don't worry, your battle against him over time is over, and you won't be left alone when the time comes."
Emilia Sienord held the sword in one hand and pulled Shade's sleeve with the other. She found that the war of the chosen was much more complicated than she thought. It was useless to just learn some new skills or master more magical powers. What she needed most was actually a smart head.
Otherwise, you might end up like Thomas Bennet, thinking that he has escaped from prison, and perhaps everything is just a plan by the chess players.
"Then what about the pink crystal just now?"
She whispered again, and the big elf took the thing out of her pocket and handed it to Shade:
"Let Shade decide. The mermaid probably doesn't really want to help the ancients in the forest. It's probably true that it wants to take Bennet's soul after it loses its value, but no one requires it to do something for only one purpose."
When Shade led the girls' hands through the "Raglai Leap" and came outside, he just saw a "fire meteor" above his head passing through the golden spherical shield that was covering the city at the moment, cutting through the night sky and flying to the northeast of the woods. Shade clearly saw that the burning flame was actually a paradox worm, and after falling into the distant woods, it immediately caused a larger area of the forest to burn.
The time was 7:30 on Saturday night. Forty minutes had passed since Shad brought Emilia into the transfer station. It seemed that the flow of time inside the wreckage was different from the flow of time outside.
The night sky with snowflakes floating overhead was not clear, but fortunately the snowflakes were white instead of pink. As for what was covering the night sky, it was not dark clouds, but large patches of white mist hovering higher up. This was the white mist that distorted time ejected by the "paradox bugs". Even though their power was suppressed by the defensive rituals guarding the city and they could not enter the sky above the city inside the shield, the mist would not dissipate easily.
At this moment, the light above the nearby golden music hall is still the most stable light source tonight, but the city is not without other lights, and the lights of thousands of households are still on at this moment. Although the nearby hotel has no lights like the transit station where time has frozen, at least when you look at the golden music hall from afar, you can see the magnificent scenery.
Looking up, the three ring sorcerers saw that the divine runes were interweaving and wandering in the huge translucent shield, and the attacks launched from the invisible area on the shield only caused ripples.
The city itself was silent due to martial law, and only if you listened carefully could you hear the occasional orderly footsteps on the street. And outside the shield, countless figures were fighting fiercely with the insects entangled in the white fog, but all the sounds were blocked by the shield.
This city defense battle has only just begun. When Shade looked carefully, he found that the density of the paradox insects appearing in the white fog in the sky was much lower than he thought.
Relying on the ritual array provided by the city itself, the time-distorting properties of the insects near the city area were greatly weakened. Coupled with the standard weapons provided by the church and the help of ground auxiliary personnel, a rough look at the current siege can even be regarded as the church completely suppressing the first wave of insect swarms.
