Chapter 3025: The Battle of Vista Forest Begins
It is the best news to be able to get extra coins before the final battle. Luvia asked:
"Shad, do you need to use it now or keep it?"
"Leave it here for now. Thomas Bennet's problem is not a problem, but I'm not sure if we can find the watchmaker. Besides, there will be a series of troubles when we go deeper into the forest, so leave the coin here as a backup."
Luvia nodded slightly, then asked with a smile:
"Did you and Miss Olanord do anything else in the observatory last night except sleep?"
Xia De pretended to be innocent and said:
"Luvia, is this the time to discuss this? We should separate business from personal matters. How could I be in this mood before the war?"
"But why do I feel like this is all your private business? Today everyone is talking about how bold the ancient witch was. Okay, okay, I won't talk about this topic. Anyway, be careful tonight. After you finish dealing with things in the city, go back to the boat to rest before setting off for the woods."
She sighed softly:
"We've been through so much, so I won't tell you to be safe this time. But you have to remember that there are still many people waiting for you to go home, so be safe. You see, I still said it."
Shad understood what she meant and gave Luvia a hug.
Leicia was brought by Grace and Helen at three o'clock in the afternoon. Since this morning, the two sisters have sensed that the time and space situation in the forest is getting out of control. They are worried that the forest and the outside world will be completely blocked by the difference in time flow in the evening, so they brought Leicia here in advance.
Although the red-haired princess had been staying in Tobesk all the time, she was more familiar with the things on the ship than Margaret because of Dorothy.
When she boarded the ship, Miss Bell had just brought people to deliver the supplies that the Orthodox Church sent to the Witch Council. The most important thing was of course not the batch of divine weapons and the No. 2 holy water, but the holy emblem medals that could trigger the power of tonight's divine ritual and allow the ring magicians' attacks to penetrate the defense of the paradox worms.
The witches themselves did not believe in the five true gods, so they distributed the medals according to their own preferences. Shade picked up one and threw it to Leicia. The red-haired princess caught it and hugged Shade with open arms. Then she greeted her sister beside her and mentioned to Shade that the "Red Butterfly Day" officially began from now on:
"If this war ends early, when your rest time after the war is over, no matter how many people invite you, you must remember that it is the time for me and Dorothy."
She then kissed Shad passionately, and then she calmly let Ajelina take her to find Dorothy and the Red Butterfly sisters.
Xia De liked girls with the character of Leicia, who had private feelings but could always handle other things properly. Thinking carefully, the Red Butterfly Day should have been held on the last day of last month, but now it is the eighth day of the Frost Descent Month. It is indeed neglectful to them if it is delayed for so long.
At 3:20 in the afternoon, the girls on the ship and Shade drank the last glass of wine before the battle in the banquet hall. Then the Glorious Messenger left a mirror image on Lake Yuren, set sail and flew into the air, and then disappeared in the heavy snow under the deep night sky.
At 3:40 pm, the eight witches on the ship had their last pre-war communication with the other five witches in the parliament. Speaker Isabella had temporarily stopped the work on the seal of the black mausoleum at the southern end of the Old World and was ready to provide support at any time outside the Vista Forest.
After all, it is impossible to put all the power of the parliament into the woods at once. Now that Vanessa has announced to others the great news that she has been promoted to the thirteenth level, it is most reasonable to have a thirteenth-level witch inside and outside the woods.
At 1915 o'clock in the afternoon, the fused Butterfly Wings Girl and Sylvia finally gave up the idea of building portals in and out of the city. The bad time and space environment made this approach quite dangerous. However, the batch of "Returning Spells" they made had been completed. Sylvia had made this kind of spell in the Battle of Green Lake, which allowed Shade to return to the hotel at any time when he was on Green Island (Chapter ).
This time, the "Return Spell" was not only provided by Sylvia, but also by the Butterfly Wings girl, and also supported by Miss Elither. Therefore, the spell can allow the girls in the forest to return to the "Glorious Messenger" at any time, but the spell is ineffective within the city.
At 4:27 pm, Xiwei, Vanessa and Megan Audrey officially led their people to the city. The three of them took away 70% of the high-ring sorceresses and one-third of the middle-ring sorceresses on the ship, and of course nearly 70% of the "return spells". They will connect with the church in the city to determine the resting place and temporary base of the Witch Council in the city, and then they will participate in the city defense battle until Shade and Emilia return from the "time transfer station".
At 5pm, Shad and Emilia, who had made their final preparations, also said goodbye to the remaining girls on the deck. Among the four "holy swords", Shad took the [Bloodsorrow], Emilia took the [Ocarina of Time], Xiwei and the others who had just set out had already taken the [Angel's Right Arm] to deal with the immortality of the "Watcher" in advance, and the [Night Watcher] had been taken away by Carina, who was still worried about Shad leading the group to act alone.
There was no need to say anything extra, and after making sure that the [Poetry Cards] were in his pocket, Shad waved goodbye to the girls on the deck who were seeing them off, then jumped into the forest below with Emilia in his arms.
Luvia stood under the starry sky for a long time without coming to her senses. It was not until Bella pulled her that she turned around and followed the people who stayed on the boat back.
A shadow with flowing long hair flashed past her. The long-haired girl from the past knew what would happen next. She knew everything. Because she had no ties, she was always able to deal with local accidents as quickly as possible. But for Shade, who didn't want anyone to be sacrificed, he would probably not like the ending of the battle in the woods.
Vista, which seemed deserted due to the citywide martial law, gave Shade a sense of strangeness. Although most windows in the city were still lit in the dark, the indescribable depression and fear in the air could not be dispelled by the lights.
The light source on the top of the Golden Music Hall tower allows even the deepest alleys to be pitch dark, but it is this visibility between complete darkness and a little light that best explains the source of the fear of the night that has persisted among intelligent life to this day.
After entering the city, Shad and Emilia went directly to the city center and stopped at the door of the Accordion Hotel, which was still closed.
The door was sealed, all the windows were boarded up, and the once most famous inn in the city had completely fallen into decline without anyone expecting it. Even if it was bought by the witches and reopened, it would probably never be as lively as it once was.
Shad and Emilia hid in the alley behind the hotel. After scaring away the wild cat that was searching in vain for food in the trash can, they were the only ones there.
The little elf held Shade's hand, his face pale, both excited and nervous. They didn't exchange many words until six o'clock in the evening, when the ground shook and rumbled, and then the distant explosion sounded.
After the continuous explosions in the forest subsided, the bell tower above the Golden Music Hall began to ring continuously. For the local citizens, this meant that the highest level of martial law had officially begun. For the ring warlocks who actively or passively participated in this war, it meant that the final story of Vestal Forest had finally begun.
Smoke and dust filled the air above the forest. The earthquake waves caused by the bomb explosion were first felt by the city, followed by the sound that came a little later. A buzzing sound came from the deep pit where the explosion took place. As the first paradox worm flew out of the pit, the professors in charge of detonating the rune bombs guided the first group of awakened worms to fly away from the city, but more worms had already opened their eyes underground.
In the alley in the city, Shade whispered to Emilia, who was staring blankly at the air with her lips pursed:
"Let's go."
The black invitation letter had been proven to be impossible to open, so Shade reached out and hugged Emilia, and after casting a spell, the two disappeared into the alley together.
The next moment, the two of them appeared on the third floor of the hotel. Facing the familiar scene she had lived in for half a month, Emilia looked a little sad. The former bustle was gone, and all the doors on both sides of the corridor were wide open. The mess inside was the last trace left before the witches evacuated.
There were no lights on, and even the steam pipe heating had stopped. Although this was not her home, just a place to stay for a short time, the elf girl still missed it.
"We have been confirmed that the Time Transfer Station is actually located in the remains of the World Tree."
Xia De's voice rang out in the darkness, and the two of them were still holding hands:
“Thomas Bennett told me that the entire woodland actually lies atop the remains of the World Tree, which is consistent with the background information I learned about the War of the Ancients.
The Time Transfer Station is actually a tree hole opened by the "Tree Hole Spell". Although its existence form is very different from the Tree Hole Spell we know, since the principle is the same, the method of opening it should be similar to the normal Tree Hole Spell. "
After explaining all this, the ritual array of the sun, moon and stars at his feet lit up, and the [Staff of Yggdrasil] appeared in Shad's hand:
"A normal tree hole created by the tree hole spell can be opened by poking it with a branch of the tree itself. Emilia, you also know the origin of the staff in my hand. Next, we need to face Thomas Bennett. In addition to himself, as a participant in the Time War, he will definitely bring helpers in the end."
"Yes, Sister Elf told me everything."
Emilia pulled Shade's sleeve:
"I will be the main player in the next battle. After all, the war of time requires a fair one-on-one duel. Shade, I will not let you down."
"I will stop any possible helpers for you. Since I didn't let Miss Orlanod come with you, I will take on her responsibilities. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Among all the battles tonight, I know that this is the only one I will not fail."
The little elf now had great determination. She took off the crown on her arm and put it on her head. The silver crown became the brightest light source at this moment, and the emerald green light made her long golden hair look more green.
The two of them came to the staircase and walked down. When they reached the second floor, the continuous explosions outside the window and the thin white mist above the city announced the official start of the city defense war. The buzzing of insects was not clear in the hotel, but seeing the golden spherical shield completely covering the city, everyone knew what it meant.
“Emilia.”
Shade raised the staff in his hand forward, and the elf nodded slightly and reached out to hold it.
Although [Staff of Yggdrasil] can only be used by Shade or Luvia, at this moment the black staff and the silver crown reached a resonance. As the two held the staff high up and smashed it to the ground like a heavy hammer, the surrounding space was stirred up in layers of ripples, and the space hidden behind the real hotel showed a door:
"Thaumatology - Key to the Door!"
