The leading elf nodded:
"Your guess is correct. This key leads to the end of the First Age."
He explained to Shad:
“This key itself will not cause serious consequences of time collapse, but it cannot be used by you.
You should understand that people other than you who use the key are just watching the stories of the past; but you are favored by time and accepted by all the times that arrive. Once you open this key, it means that people in the era after the end of the First Age have entered the First Age. "
He didn't actually explain the logic, but Shade understood:
"You mean the First Era is the normal era, and everything after that is the Doomsday Era. As someone who lives in the 'Doomsday' era, will entering the First Era cause me serious problems?"
"That's just one of the reasons."
Envy Edwards says:
"There are many things involved in this matter. Even we are not sure what consequences will be caused if you actually appear in the First Age. But please do not use this key. Never."
Xia De felt that he understood:
"So you showed up to retrieve this key?"
"Do not."
The tall elf immediately denied:
"This is yours, and we have no right to interfere. We just hope that you can know the problems that will be caused by using this key, and promise not to do so. But others can use this key to observe the origin of this world, which is also the era before the final death."
"Then can you tell me, who opened it in those destroyed Sixth Ages? Or, in those lost Sixth Ages, no one has ever discovered it?"
Xia De asked again. This question involved "past lives". The three of them were silent for a while, not because they didn't know but because they were worried about whether to answer.
Finally, the tall elf who was in the lead said:
"Since you asked. In the six times it disappeared in the Sixth Era, Miss Luvia Fiorchie Anat used it four times, Laplace Clyne Howard used it once, and it was destroyed before it could be opened another time."
There seem to be a lot of stories in this, but that’s not the point:
"So as long as I don't use it myself, it's okay for me to give it to Luvia?"
Shade tossed the key to confirm.
"Yes, we will only appear at those points that seriously endanger the timeline. As long as this key is not used by you, it will not cause such serious consequences no matter who opens it."
So Shade thought of another question:
"The nodes that seriously endanger the timeline. Since we are talking about the past life, why didn't you show up when Luvia destroyed the timeline of the Sixth Era? Aren't those nodes important?"
Xia De was really just curious about this question, and the three of them were silent for a moment before saying:
"We showed up, but we couldn't stop her. She's different from you. She doesn't respect the rules that this world and everyone respects."
This answer is very different from what Shade thought, "Her behavior is also part of time", but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. With Shade's current understanding of Long-haired Luvia's methods, she doesn't care who wants to stop her.
Shade even thought that everyone he knew might have been plotted against by Luvia in some sixth era.
In short, the outsider was not the kind of person who would not listen to advice. Since the time guardians had made it very clear, he did not think of challenging the stability of time:
"Well, although I would also like to see the rumored era when everything was normal, I will not use this key."
He promised, thinking that the key itself was indeed dangerous, so it would be more appropriate to give it to Luvia. Of course, this refers to the one with long hair.
"Thank you for your understanding."
The three of them said together, but the matter was not over yet. The tall elf explained:
"The seed you obtained in the secret room can be used to ask the Chosen One of Time. Her or his power is enough to plant the door to the Corridor of Time."
"So, you have actually been spying on everything in the timeline? You were watching me just now?"
The elf shook his head:
"No, we don't have that kind of hobby. In fact, the things in the secret room you opened were all left by me."
Xia De was slightly surprised, then smiled and thanked:
"Thank you very much. Were you the Elf King of the Second Age?"
The tall elf nodded slightly, but there was still not much expression on his face:
"That's all in the past. Royal power and honor are nothing compared to the identity of the Guardian of Time. Also, the Elf Royal Power is only open to pure-blooded elves. I'm sorry that you can't use it."
"It doesn't matter. I know from the name that this is not something I can use."
Shade didn't care about it, because the crown was obviously prepared for Emilia.
The guardians still did not leave, because the most important thing they had to say this time was:
"Then there is one last thing. Follow the ancient oracle left by the ancient tree father and the great responsibility we have assumed. When the only remaining time key from the First Age in the material world reappears, the war of time will officially begin."
He announced, and seeing Xia De's doubt, he explained:
“The ‘Time War’ is a traditional ritual of our [World Tree Church], which aims to select time guardians like us through the ritual. This is a ritual that originated from the First Age and can only be started by time guardians.
After the ceremony begins, the seven chosen people will be given special permission to use some means to send themselves to a time in the past that is most suitable for them and related to them, and gain power in that time. Then, they will return to the present with the knowledge, power, and even helpers they have gained, and compete with other participants until the final winner emerges. "
Shade frowned slightly:
"Because of the appearance of this key, you want to select another suitable person to join you?"
"No, this is the chosen one who chooses his time."
The tall elf did not hide this from Shade:
"And this is not the Ritual of the Chosen One. This is just a prerequisite for using the Ritual of the Chosen One: having traveled through time and winning the 'Time War'. Only those who meet these two conditions can perform the ritual.
Now that the seven candidates for the Chosen One have been granted the qualification to make an exception, it seems that Miss Luvia Fiorchi Anat is not going to murder everyone overnight in this Sixth Era, so this time it will probably be more lively than before. "
So the secret room of the "Golden Music Hall" contains clues about the ritual of the chosen one. It turns out that this is what it means:
"So, only by killing everyone in the so-called war of time can we qualify?"
Although other ceremonies for the chosen ones also required the death of the people in the previous rank before the latter ones were eligible to perform the ceremony, those ceremonies never actively encouraged the candidates to fight. This style of ceremony was completely inconsistent with the style of Tree Father.
"You misunderstood."
The taciturn vampire shook his head. This question touched upon the core of the rules for the chosen one, but the time guardians were still willing to answer for Shade:
"The selection ceremony is not a killing ceremony. As long as the candidates compete one-on-one, if one party wins, the other party will be eliminated. Time will prove everything. Killing is not a must."
But the tall elf added:
"But there is an exception for Miss Annat. Her ranking is extremely special. Theoretically, she is not recognized as the winner, so if she wants to win, she can only kill everyone."
Long-haired Luvia has already told Shade about this. She said at the time that she was a candidate, but her rank was considered the lowest, and it would not be her turn unless all the people before her died.
The three time guardians then bowed slightly to Shade, and then disappeared together.
At the same time, the frozen time began to flow again. The excited Miss Owl wanted to say something, but she saw Shad turning around in the woods and facing the direction of the city.
She was wondering what Xia De was going to do when she suddenly heard a loud bell ringing from a distance.
Dong~dong~dong~
The thirteen consecutive bells seemed to ring from the other side of time. Miss Owl even felt that all the feathers on her body trembled at the sound of the bells.
The sound of the silent bells from the Golden Music Hall echoed throughout the entire Vestal Woods. The wind blew in the woods, and even the stars in the night sky became much dimmer at this moment.
Although she didn't know what it was, the owl on her shoulder also fell silent. She could feel that some ancient and profound power was affecting this area. Even her own time curse was undergoing subtle changes due to the continuous ringing of the bells.
When the bell stopped ringing, footsteps were heard again, and the blond elf walked out of the woods to Shade's side.
Xia De asked her softly:
"Have you qualified for the Time War?"
"No, the qualification is to have green tree-grain patterns on the back of your hand, but I don't have that."
The elf girl said with a smile, and showed her white hands to Shade, as if she knew everything.
In the far north of Saint Byrons Comprehensive College, a green light gradually appeared on the back of Emilia's hand as she had nothing to do today and had fallen asleep in her dormitory with her unicorn stuffed animal in her arms.
In Vista Glade, downtown, Nature's Church, and the basement library, a strange ring sorcerer whom Shad did not know put down the book "Origins of Tree Species" and noticed lines on the back of his hand.
In the woods of Vista Glade, the "watchmaker" standing on the treetop looking at the source of the bell sound stretches his right hand to the night sky, laughing as he admires the green glowing pattern on the back of his hand.
In Drarion, Tobesk City, No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, Luvia, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and discussing the house expansion plan with Carina, suddenly frowned and looked at the back of her hand.
In Drarion, Tobesk City, and Yodel Palace, the twin princes in their respective cribs turned over together and cried loudly for milk, but other than that nothing happened. After all, they had already given up their qualifications.
The bell brought the news of time, and the war of the eighth chosen one officially began.
