Chapter 2589: Peeping into Time
Shad and Miss Winslet made no further investigation, and danced a few more times in the latter part of the party, during which Shad was complimented on her excellent dancing skills.
"Speaking of which, you and Danister went out today. Are you hiding something from me?"
"Why do you say that?"
Xia De held her hand in his and moved his feet to the music, while the pair of golden eyes in front of him were teasing:
"Before we set out to come here in the evening, the atmosphere between her and you was obviously not right. I don't believe that you were just going to investigate the tomb and meet with the Hermits. There must be something else going on between you!"
She did not get an answer from Shad, but fortunately she did not keep asking the question. Instead, she asked where Shad learned the dance and claimed that it was a pre-collection of materials for the six oil paintings promised to Shad.
As the March banquet ended, the guests walked into the deep autumn night. There was still a faint sound of an accordion in the city at night, and no one knew where it came from.
The two men who had been keeping watch on the roof of the building opposite the Earl's mansion saw the Bennet family also leave in a carriage, then they turned around and walked into the darkness.
The two did not communicate with each other, and walked silently from the southeast of the city into the woods. After circling around to make sure there were no pursuers, they entered the accelerated state of the "Speed Spell" and continued to move deeper into the woods.
Half an hour later, the two panting people passed the warning ceremony and entered an unknown temple ruins in the woods. At this moment, at least twenty ring sorcerers were active here, arranging the next ceremony around the half-collapsed stone temple.
The two came to the bald middle-aged man who was leaning against the tree next to the ruins and resting with his eyes closed:
"Vice President, nothing went wrong at the banquet. No suspicious ring wizards approached the Bennet family, and the missing Klein and Benn were not found. We found police officers who were suspected to be church ring wizards patrolling the streets, and they did not follow the Bennet family."
The Twelve Rings Warlock opened his eyes:
"Thank you for your hard work. Since the other party has not revealed any traces, let's prepare according to the president's plan and use the ritual to open the 'Gate of the Past'. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to kill our people."
Because the church did not issue a wanted warrant and there was no movement in the local black market, the Tree Hole Association believed that the two companions who disappeared in Bennett's old house could not have been discovered by the church.
They had investigated the old Bennet house but found no trace.
Time detection magic like "Echoes of the Past" also had a great impact within the Bennett's old house. When they wanted to investigate further, they were tracked and monitored by the witch's followers.
Therefore, the [Tree Hole Association], which does not know the identity of the enemy, will choose to use rituals in conjunction with relics after the investigation has yielded no results, to directly lock onto the enemy's identity information through the long river of time. They are very good at this.
The ceremony had been arranged since this evening, and was almost ready when the two people who had gone to monitor the Bennet family returned:
"Relic."
The bald man called "Vice President" said this, and someone immediately brought over a black suitcase containing a palm-sized mirror fragment.
As the "Vice President" walked up the uneven steps to the highest level of the ruins and the floor-to-ceiling mirror standing in the center of the ritual base, the other members of the [Tree Hole Association] followed closely.
Ancient elven runes were lit up one after another on the ground, until the surging spirit even began to affect the reconnaissance and defense rituals around the venue.
The "Vice President" walked in front and finally came to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, which was the poet-level relic [Telescope]. The twelve life rings appeared behind him, and the core spirit rune [Time] and the blasphemous spirit rune [Eyes] flashed with spiritual light:
"Thaumatology - Future Vision!"
A layer of ripples appeared in his right eye, and then he covered his right eye with the mirror fragment in his hand, which was the fragment of the sage-level relic - [Gate of the Past].
As the ceremony progressed, the light from the right eye was gradually transferred to the mirror fragment, and then the mirror fragment was thrown towards the floor-standing mirror in front of him.
Boom~ a muffled sound, like a colorless thunder in the night sky. But the ring magicians present were not nervous, because they had seen similar scenes many times.
Everyone was staring at the mirror, waiting to see who was against them.
As the ceremony progressed to the end, the image of the real world reflected in the mirror was gradually obscured by darkness, and nine white candles arranged on the ground around the mirror lit up.
The firelight did not completely dispel the darkness in the mirror, but it revealed a standing man.
The people in the ritual formation looked carefully and saw that the man in the mirror had well-proportioned muscles and a naked upper body. He was looking at the mirror with his back to the [Tree Hole Association], as if he was looking at the mirror hanging in front of himself.
Then the man in the mirror raised his right hand, crossed his entire right arm across the front of his body, and pressed the back of his neck from the left side. At the same time, he kept his lower body still and forced his upper body to turn to the left and rear, and looked outside the mirror.
The face of the man in the darkness in the mirror was completely unobservable, but the moment his eyes stared at them, everyone outside the mirror took a step back. At that moment, they felt as if they were being stared at by something indescribable and great.
It was as if the gaze was real and made everyone's heart tremble. The gaze that came from a long time was more terrifying than a direct gaze.
"Are you spying on me?" (Chapter 547)
"Oh, God, He has found us! He sees us, He has seen us in the past!"
With a loud bang, the poet-level relic [Telescope] was blown away as if a steam bomb was buried at the bottom. After landing, the mirror surface cracked. Although it was not completely destroyed, it was obviously seriously damaged.
Fragments of the sage-level relic [Gate of the Past] flew out from the mirror like bullets, piercing through the chests of two people, and continued to penetrate the trees outside the ruins with undiminished potential energy, before nailing onto the thick tree trunk with a buzzing sound after a hundred meters.
All the people who were maintaining the ceremony outside the ceremony suddenly spat out blood and fell down unconscious, while the people who were observing the mirror just now continued to retreat in increasing shock.
Everyone looked at each other, and their heavy breathing due to fear became one.
No one spoke immediately, and finally the bald "vice president" with twelve rings spoke loudly:
"The enemy has a strong time resistance. He might have discovered us! We should retreat first. The enemy might track us down! Damn it, is this the Chosen One? Let's go! Notice that all unnecessary activities in Vista City will be suspended. Let's go!"
After a simple cleanup and recovery of the bodies and relics, the group quickly moved deeper into the woods, leaving only the leaves swirling and falling in the evening breeze. It was another magical night.
At the same time, at the Accordion Hotel in the city, after discussing the evening's gains with two ladies, Shad, who was being sent downstairs by Miss Charlotte Bell, was standing on the stairs when he was suddenly startled.
[Stranger, you feel the prying of time. ]
[Thanks to the blessing of the Tree Father and the greatness of divinity, you are exempt from this spying. ]
"what happened?"
The young black-haired girl asked in confusion when she saw Xia De stopped. Xia De shook his head:
"I felt like someone was looking at me, but I looked away immediately. Maybe I was too tired. I was really busy today."
As he spoke, he lifted Mia's little butt on his shoulder to prevent it from accidentally sliding down:
"Where were we talking about just now? Oh, it was the poker game in which we won the Grand City Players Championship. Want to try playing poker with me using the deck I used back then? That was a really exciting game, and I almost lost the championship."
The two chatted all the way downstairs. Miss Bell wanted to send Shade out, but Shade refused:
"You should go back and rest soon."
He waved, walked into the lighted street, and quickly disappeared into the darkness around the corner.
Miss Winslet, who was watching him leave from the window, turned and asked the red-haired girl on the sofa:
"So where is he staying? If it's another hotel in the city, why don't you let him stay with you?
Don't look at me like that, I was just teasing, I know he has a way to go back to Tobesk directly, otherwise I wouldn't always smell the scent of Karina's perfume. "
She leaned against the windowsill, letting the cool autumn night wind blow her long hair:
"Shad said you wouldn't try that door casually, but I always feel that you won't strictly abide by your promise."
The golden eyes looked at her with a smile.
"Why, now not only my students are going to supervise me, but you are going to supervise me too?"
The red-haired girl who was reading on the sofa asked, and the witch shook her head:
"Of course not, I just want to say that I had a lot of fun dancing tonight, so I want to give you a suggestion:
The Speaker will be here tomorrow. She was the strongest person with a gift for time in the material world before the God Summoner appeared. You should know this, right?"
Miss Librarian certainly knows:
"What do you want to say?"
She put down the book in her hand, and the witch with gray-black hair took off her glasses:
"Why don't you ask her how to use the tree hole briefly and safely? Don't think I'm arrogant. The witches know a lot of secrets that even you, a thirteen-ring warlock, don't know. Relying on the power of the council to suppress the curse, it is indeed possible for you to complete a time travel. Of course, it is impossible for you to not have to pay a price."
Miss Danister raised her head slightly:
"Flora, you know that I have known Adele for a long time, but it is not easy to get Adele to use the power of your parliament to help me. Well, what do you want to do to persuade her to help me?"
PS: I finally wrote this foreshadowing. When I wrote that paragraph, I was planning to use it in the chapter about the chosen ones of time. I finally got the chance.
