Chapter 2817: The Giant Wooden Chair and the Unhappy Sorceress
The trunk of the giant tree was so thick that it could be considered a building. Its crown not only covered the top of the open space, allowing the sparse starlight and moonlight to leave mottled traces on the open space, but the crown even extended into the forest area.
If this place could be seen from the air, Shade felt that he could easily detect it even from dozens of miles away.
Right in front of the tree trunk stood a huge wooden chair. The bottom of the chair looked like a tree stump, and the backrest looked like a thin layer of curved bark. There were two vertical lines of ancient characters written on the side of the back facing the chair itself.
This was the first time Xia De had seen vertically written words in this world. However, when he tried to read the contents, the words seemed blurry and unclear:
"strangeness."
That huge wooden chair was probably the most suitable for a 50-meter-tall giant to sit on. With this huge chair as the center, there were four other wooden chairs distributed in a fan shape along the edge of the open space under the tree, located on both sides of the central huge chair.
The four wooden chairs were similar in style to the largest one, but much smaller in size. However, even if they were smaller, they were not chairs suitable for humans of average size to sit on. Only humans who could grow to ten meters tall would be most suitable for such chairs.
"Look here, the runes here are the only ones that are clearly visible. Can you translate them?"
The doctor asked, and the two of them were facing the largest seat under the giant tree, and he pointed to the outermost seat on the left. There were ancient runes written vertically on the backs of all five seats, but only the words on the back of this seat were clearly visible.
The words glowed with a fiery red glow. Even though Shade was standing far away, he could still see them clearly. He translated them from top to bottom and from right to left as usual:
"Wait a minute, let me see - time flows like fire, and time cannot be turned back."
"What does it mean?"
The doctor asked, and Shade didn't know either, and nothing happened here after he finished reading the sentence that appeared:
"I remember one thing. When I attended a charity auction some time ago, I met a professor named Youke Wood. Through his introduction, I bought a folklore book called "Riverwood Town and the World Tree". It is believed that the giant trees in the forest are guarded by many symbols of natural forces, such as the earth, water veins, fierce fire and strong wind."
The doctor nodded:
"You mean, the so-called giant tree in the forest is the one that just injured me and exiled you? And the so-called four guards are the things sitting on these four chairs. We solved the demon symbolizing fire, so 'fire' appeared?"
Shade was not entirely sure:
“It’s just a possibility.”
"So is it possible that there are three other demons corresponding to the earth, water veins, and strong winds?"
The doctor smiled again and Shade shook his head:
"Although we often encounter demons, it shouldn't be the case that four of them appear at once. Doctor, do you remember what knocked you away just now?"
"It looks like a dragon beast, but it's different from the ones we saw at the beach in the summer."
"Is it possible that that corresponds to the wind?"
Xia De asked again, and the doctor nodded thoughtfully:
"It's possible. I was so happy just now that I almost forgot about it."
As he said this, he waved his hand, and a black cube immediately appeared in front of him. Then the cube disintegrated into countless small black cubes, revealing what was contained inside. This move was also learned after Green Lake swallowed the demon in the maze:
"After I destroyed the demon, this time no demon body was left behind. Only the essence I needed remained of its body. But after it disappeared, this was left behind. This is not the power of the demon."
The doctor took out a small branch with sparks still burning on it. The sparks seemed to have become part of the branch and would not go out even if it was frozen, blown by the wind, or pressed. This also resulted in the sparks of fire leaving afterimages in the air when the branch was shaken.
"The sparks above are not the flames of the devil, they seem to be just ordinary fire."
As he spoke, he handed the not-very-long branch to Xia De. The branch was bare without leaves and looked very thin. When Xia De touched the branch, he immediately felt the special material of it:
"A branch of the World Tree."
He said with certainty that the Key of Yggdrasil, the antique arrows of the elves, and the Leaves of Eternal Youth were enough for him to distinguish similar materials:
"Is this the power it was given?"
"I don't know about that. It's not within my area of expertise."
The doctor shook his head again, and seeing that Xia De looked serious, he didn't say anything else. If the tree just now was his opponent, he knew how much pressure Xia De would face.
And looking at this strange place that was not disguised at all, the doctor knew that the powerful existence did not seem to worry about being defeated by anyone.
Although this place looks strange, in fact, apart from the glowing fiery red letters, there is no trace of abnormal elements.
It was late at night, and seeing that there were no other clues, Shad and the doctor left.
However, the doctor did not plan to return to the city with Xia De. As the two had agreed, he had to make some preparations in the forest that would not be discovered by others, and would contact Xia De when he was ready to obtain the third core spirit rune.
The two parted in the forest, and Xia De watched the doctor's limping back disappear before he prepared to return. He was actually still a little worried about the doctor, not because he was worried that he would be in danger in the forest, but because he was worried that he would lose control.
If the doctor's original action of devouring the devil was to crack walnuts with a steam bomb, then what he has to do now is to swim in the magma with the steam bomb.
But since the doctor has made up his mind, Xia De can only help him to the best of his ability.
The place where Iluna and the others met was the entrance of the deserted village of Gregory. When Shade arrived, the deserted village looked like it was still burning. The smoldering flames made the ruins of the village continue to emit smoke, and even the temperature at the entrance of the village rose a lot.
Iluna, Sister Defulin, Flora, and several high-ranking girls were waiting for him, sitting around the bonfire lit by the nuns. When they heard footsteps, they turned around and saw a silver wolf coming out of the woods, then stood up under the moon and turned into Shade.
"Shad, you're so slow~ If you don't come soon, we'll go find you."
Iluna waved her hand and said this first. She had great confidence in Shade.
Xia De was relieved to see that everyone was safe and sound:
"I ran into some trouble, but it's been resolved. Are you all okay? Where's Miss Elsa Iceberg? I haven't thanked her yet."
"She went back first. She has some things to deal with in the Far North. But she must have guessed that you are the Godcaller when she saw the Night Watch. I am curious about how Danister will explain it to her."
Flora said, standing up and patting her skirt:
"Anyway, the night is finally over. I've already thought of an idea for my fifth painting! 'Silver Wolf in the Forest', Shade, I think your silver wolf form is even better looking than your moonlight dragon form."
Shade smiled, and then asked Sister Defulin:
"Has the first flame taken away by the devil been recovered?"
The nun nodded silently, but actually tonight's affairs were not over yet. Sister Devlin did not follow everyone into the city. She needed to return to the sacrificial site first and wait until the witches arrived at the weekend before coming together.
Improving her strength in death delayed other things. As a leader, she was not a symbol to the [Spiritual Order]. Moreover, after absorbing the devil's fire and this primordial fire, she also needed time to stabilize her strength.
But before Sister Defulin left, she gave Shade a package:
"These are things left behind by witchers a hundred years ago. The demons entrenched here did not destroy them."
By the time Shad and the girls returned to the Accordion Inn, it was already three o'clock in the morning on Thursday.
Miss Danister was of course still waiting for everyone, but when everyone entered the door, everyone saw that the red-haired girl looked obviously very unhappy.
"Dannister, what's the matter with you? Look, we are all back safely."
Flora asked in a good mood. Hunting demons made her very excited.
The girl on the sofa looked at Xia De, then pointed to the box on the coffee table:
"Shad, this is for you."
Shade recognized it almost immediately. This was the box he and the black-haired sorceress saw in the apartment rented by the actress on a summer evening in 1821. He did not expect that after 33 years, the box was still there.
So Shade roughly guessed what was in the box, and then guessed why the red-haired girl was unhappy:
"Where did you get this?"
He asked carefully, and then looked at him with rose-red eyes:
"About forty minutes ago, the principal asked me to go to the academy and told me that the teacher left something for me, Xia De. You went to see the teacher again, right?"
Flora then understood. She pulled Iluna, the only one who didn't understand, back a few steps. Then she explained it to Iluna telepathically, and Iluna also understood.
“I did see Ms. Carter.
Something unexpected happened just now, and I was thrown out of the present time. Our guess about the remains of the World Tree was completely correct, but I don't quite understand why it just drove me away. It was Ms. Carter who helped me come back, and we spent about a day together. "
The box was controlled to fly towards Shade and opened automatically. The note and the ring inside were still there. Shade guessed that Mia would be happy for several days.
The note was no longer from Mr. Euclid, the astrologer, to Ms. Carter, but from Ms. Carter to Miss Danister. Shade opened the note and understood more about why Miss Danister was unhappy.
PS: Fixed a bug in the previous article. In Chapter 1210, Miss Danister mentioned that her teacher’s core spiritual rune was “Silver Moon”. I handled it as Red Moon in this volume.
Fortunately, there are not many parts that need to be modified, only involving the demonstration of the Moonlight Greatsword during the "Dance of the Three", the thirteen-ring magic when taking Shad to treatment on a flying carpet, and the title of Ms. Carter mentioned in the previous chapter.
The Red Moon has been replaced with the Silver Moon in the first two places, but it should be noted that Ms. Carter is actually proficient in all the powers of March.
The title in the previous chapter was changed from "Red Moon Sorcerer" to "Moon Sorcerer", which is also in line with her character who is also proficient in the power of March.
