Chapter 2958: Shade and the Elves in the Snow
The two had not walked far in the snow when Emilia found a tree that was big enough in the forest. She first used the tree hole spell to open a tree hole, and then asked Shade:
"Do you have any food? Anything will do."
Xia De then took out a handful of cat food, and Mia immediately leaned over Xia De's shoulder, while Emilia said helplessly:
"I mean food you can eat. Never mind, no food, flowers or leaves will do."
Shade then took out the roses that had not yet been given away. The elf took a petal and let Shade drip blood on it, then dripped his own blood on the petal, and finally put it in the tree hole:
"If there is no one who has mastered the [Tree Hole Curse] to help you, this ritual actually requires specific astrological signs to be performed, which is very troublesome."
Snowflakes fell on her pointed ears, but she shook them off with a light shake. She then stuffed a few stones picked up from the ground and a piece of dead branch into the tree hole, and then cast a spell to seal the tree hole:
"Just wait about five minutes."
Seeing that Xia De was still holding the red rose with one petal plucked off, she blushed and looked at Xia De again. If the outsider didn't even understand what this meant, he would have wasted the "teaching" of Jialina and others for the past year:
"This is for you."
He handed over a new red rose. The elf girl took it with a slightly red face. She lowered her head and watched the petals turn because of her twisting. The white fur collar of the robe covered her neck and chin. The short boots on her feet were the common brown style:
"What do you mean by giving me roses?"
She still didn't look up when she asked the question.
"I think now is the time to give this flower."
"That's a very cunning answer, Shade."
Only then did she raise her head and gently twisted the red rose with her fingers. Her emerald eyes met Xia De's for a moment, and looking at the smile of the man in the snow, she bit her lips lightly, and then said in a very soft voice:
"Now I am already an adult elf."
The sound was so light that it was almost drowned out by the rustling sound of the falling snow, Mia's whimpering as she ate cat food, and her own heartbeat.
Then the elf girl's face got closer and closer to Shade. Little Lianna hid behind her and stuck her head out. Mia, who had finished eating the cat food, did not disturb the moment.
The blonde elf in the snow scene then gave a kiss. The elf's kiss was gentle and sweet. Shad thought that he would be in a good mood all day because of this kiss.
[It would be very interesting if the elf showed up with the witch of the Fifth Age at this time.]
"She" said this after the kiss, so it didn't ruin the beauty of the moment. But the elf's face was already red as if it was about to explode, which was a very bold move for her.
After successfully learning the [Tree Hole Spell] in the snow, Shade wanted to invite the elf girl to go to the "Time Transfer Station" with him again tonight, but she did not agree:
"I can't sense anything that you can't sense."
"But you are a candidate for the Chosen One of Time, and I want you to see if he is a candidate in the Time Transfer Station."
"Don't you already have the answer to this question?"
This was considered as a positive answer to Xia De:
"I won't go. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. I currently have five arrows in my hand, but this may not be enough."
"How many more do you need? I'm sure there's one in the Bennett family."
"It would be safest if we could have thirteen arrows, but that seems almost impossible now. Try to find as many as possible. After all, the story here is coming to an end. If you want the ending to be grand, then finding more arrows is necessary."
"So do you know what this Chosen Ceremony is?"
The elf's emerald eyes looked at Shade. The two of them walked in the snow. The snow that had fallen in the morning had already whitened the forest, but it had never been able to whiten their hair.
"Calculate the time. At this point in time, didn't Luvia tell you that the ritual of time is to plant a tree?"
“But I don’t know the specific details yet.”
He told her bluntly:
"I don't want you to turn into a tree."
The elf blinked, but seemed not to hear it, ignoring the words:
"The winner of the Time War will gain the power of the other candidates. Then the mark on the back of the hand will become the most complete tree pattern, and this power will become a new seed. Combined with the leaves, branches and roots of the World Tree, a new tree can be planted.
This requires the most primitive World Tree materials, such as your staff or the arrows I collected, which do not meet the requirements. "
This is the ceremony of the chosen one. For Shade, who has reached the end of the story, this is no longer complicated:
"I still have two [Leaves of Eternal Youth], and I also have two branches of the World Tree. So, now all we need are the roots, right?"
"There's no need to look for the roots. The ancient one in the forest must have them."
"Is that all? Does that sound too easy?"
"Easy?"
The emerald green eyes looked forward again. Little Lianna was happily leading the way ahead. The scene of the pure white little beast jumping in the snow would make anyone smile:
“There are indeed some other conditions. After all, even if the seeds are successfully planted, we still need to find a way to make them germinate.
"Emilia, I don't want you to turn into a tree. I repeat: I don't want you to turn into a tree."
She didn't look at Shade, but she didn't deny that she was not Emilia as she usually did.
Xia De still looked at her. The two of them continued to walk forward in the snow in silence. The elf girl skipped the previous topic and continued to talk to herself:
“The tree of time needs the power of time to be watered before it can sprout. This is actually very simple. As long as the candidate who performs the ceremony travels through time many times and carries enough time power with him, everything will be fine.
Finally, the seed planting site is the location for the ceremony. This is certainly not a normal land, we need to find a special chaotic time point. For example, Ash River Valley meets the requirements, but it doesn't need to be so exaggerated. This is also a small matter. Isn't the most abundant thing in this forest a time chaos zone? "
The boots of the two men made a crunching sound as they stepped on the soft snow. Sparrows took off from the branches nearby, causing the snowflakes on the branches to fall down.
The cat looked at the sparrow that flew away. Perhaps it was thinking of the flock of pigeons in Saint Teresa's Square, and Shade grabbed Emilia's hand.
"I do not want to lose you."
This sentence was straightforward enough, and the elf girl finally looked him in the eye again:
"I haven't seen the end of the story either, so I can't give you an answer."
"But you can promise that you won't turn into a tree."
"But what if I really need to turn into a tree for the story here to be complete?"
"You turning into a tree is an incomplete story for me."
The tips of the blond elf's pointed ears are slightly red, but it may be because they were frozen in the snow:
“But I took responsibility and I’m going to do that.”
“I can let someone else take responsibility.”
She shook her head but did not break away from Shade's hand:
"Then I hope you can make the right choice in the end. After all, at the moment when this story about time is about to turn to the last page, you have decided that you will still choose the ending of the story, right?"
They walked farther and farther in the snow hand in hand, leaving only two rows of footprints side by side, waiting alone to disappear in the snow.
Although it was the first snow of the year, the snow was getting bigger and bigger. It was just moderate snow in the morning, but by the time Xia De returned to the boat after lunch, it had turned into heavy snow.
However, considering that the weather this year was abnormal and there was even a blizzard in the summer, the witches were not surprised at all.
The elf and Little Lianna were invited by Shade to have lunch on the boat, and the arrival of the little unicorn was welcomed by everyone. During lunch, Shade also suggested whether to hold a welcome party for Emilia in the evening, but Luvia pointed out that Shade wanted to welcome someone else.
"Luvia, please don't expose him."
Megan said with a smile.
A new accident soon occurred in the increasingly heavy snow. Not long after lunch, Shad and Ajelina were discussing what would happen to Shad's cat if Little Mia stood on Little Liana's head and the smaller Shad cat stood on Little Mia's back, when Little Liana suddenly stopped from running faster. At this time, Miss Bell hurried over from the portal and delivered some big news:
“The church asked us for help.”
"Ask us for help?"
Xia De couldn't believe it:
"The church has so many people, not to mention the professors in the academy. They won't ask us for help, right? What's the specific situation?"
"The church hastily sent a message to our contact at the local black market saying that they need a witch to solve the problem. Miss thinks the church may have encountered some ancient monster related to witches, so let me ask who on the ship can help?"
After all, Flora was still in a cursed state and her strength was not at its peak, so she did not take the initiative to take on the job.
And Shade is not a witch, so he cannot participate. There are not many witches on the ship that afternoon. Although Grandma Cassandra is also there, Flora cannot let her go even if she wants to go. In addition, Sylvia, Vanessa and Megan who just arrived are also there.
“I refuse to meet with anyone from the church.”
The little witch said immediately, so after discussion, Megan came forward to assist the church. Not long after Megan left, news came from the forest again, this time it was Carina who sent the letter.
