Chapter 2586: Tree Hole No. 2
Chapter 2586 The Second Tree Hole
The red-haired girl pinched her waist and spoke with the severity of a teacher in school for many years, which obviously scared the ghost of Miss Bettany.
The ghost then escaped from the wall again, and this time she waited for half a minute before coming back. Of course, she still only showed half of her face in the wooden house, and Xia De guessed that the outside was a shadow covered by the shade of the tree.
"I can answer questions, but could you please not send me away afterwards? I want to play for a while longer."
The ghost pleaded, and Miss Danister nodded:
"Okay, we promise you."
"No, let him say, are you his lover or his student? That man is the one who keeps his word among you!"
Miss Bettany pointed at Shade, and the red-haired girl took a deep breath to calm herself down, then waved at Shade, who nodded and said:
"We promise you. But you must promise not to hurt anyone, otherwise I will definitely come back for you."
In fact, this warning doesn't make much sense. Looking at the strength of this soul, she probably doesn't have the ability to hurt people. At most, she can enter the dreams of timid guys.
Then Miss Bettany's soul completely floated into the wooden house, and then nodded quickly:
"No problem, I promise I won't hurt anyone."
Then he pointed to the door:
"There's nothing unusual here, except that I heard two strange noises. There's no one here, but I heard two lumberjacks complaining about not having a holiday this month. Another time, I heard thunder and rain, but the weather was clear that day."
Miss Danister's eyes lit up. This was clearly the same broom closet where the cupboard was located, which meant that there must be a "tree hole" nearby.
"Where is the sound coming from? In the well where you are?"
Xia De asked again, worried that he would jump into that kind of place. Fortunately, Soul shook his head hurriedly:
"On the ground. I was very curious at the time, so I floated around looking for it. The source of the sound was roughly around here. Yes, near this wooden house."
"Echoes of the past!"
Xia De cast a spell immediately, but after listening for a while, no strange sounds came. Combined with what the ghost said, the activity of the "tree hole" here should be far less than that of the cabinet.
"Are there so many tree holes in the Vista area? I have never heard of them in other places. Dig three feet deep in this area, and I will find the door!"
The sorceress was about to take action, but was stopped by Shade:
"No need to bother, I'll do it."
He led the red-haired girl out of the cabin and outside, and the ghost of Ashley Bettany dived into the well covered by stone slabs, but then stuck his head out and looked here.
Then Miss Danister turned around and waved her hand, and a halo of red moonlight covered the wellhead, blocking the ghost's prying eyes.
"Remember? Last time, that cabinet was immune to my spell."
Shade asked, and the sorceress recalled and looked at the wooden house in front of her:
"Toy Transfiguration, huh? But this is so big, you..."
"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Shade took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which was actually a toy made of a huge canvas, and then took out the small pink bottle. The bright pink liquid looked even more crystal clear in the afternoon sun.
After Xia De opened the lid and took a small sip, he wiped the "handkerchief" on his body and threw the rapidly expanding canvas into the air.
The spell controlled the large piece of canvas to float above the wooden house, and then accurately covered it underneath. As Shade frowned slightly and began to cast the spell, the outline under the canvas quickly shrank.
This was the largest item Xia De had handled after learning "Toy Making". However, because it was hollow and not very heavy, the spiritual power consumed was less than he had thought. He might have even been able to use it without drinking the essence just now.
“It turns out I’m already this good.”
Soon the huge canvas seemed to be lying on the ground of the sawmill. Miss Danister stretched out her hand to make the canvas fly again. Under the canvas, in addition to an exquisite wooden house model the size of a human head, there was also a wooden door that had been eaten by insects.
That is the door of the wooden house.
"I come."
Shade came over immediately and was about to take out the black time key to see if it could be turned. Unexpectedly, Miss Danister handed him a normal time key directly:
"Ask the college for it."
Of course, a normal key would be better. Xia De stretched out his hand to let the wooden door stand up and put the key close to the keyhole:
"May the World Tree protect me throughout the infinite time."
The key was successfully inserted into the rusty keyhole, but Xia De tried hard with his wrist but couldn't turn it. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Xia De immediately had a guess:
"Although both use keys, opening the tree hole and opening the door to the 'Corridor of Time' are different. The focus of the former is the tree hole itself, while the focus of the latter is the key. So the door of the latter only needs to be a door, while the door of the former must be a door."
After realizing this, he and Miss Danister retreated together, transformed the wooden house back to its original state, and then leaned the door against the door frame:
"May the World Tree protect me in infinite time."
With a click, the key was turned.
[Stranger, you opened a "twisted tree hole." ]
[Tips from the Father of Infinite Tree:]
[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1821 of the sixth era of the present world. ]
[Note that any life other than you who uses this channel will be cursed by time.]
[Note: You can enter the past twenty minutes through this abnormal channel. After the time is up, you must return through this channel.]
[Note: After using the key to open the door twice, the passage will completely collapse.]
"How about it?"
The red-haired girl asked with some anticipation, and Shade smiled and did not disappoint her:
"Connected to 1821, it can be used twice. The last time I encountered the cabinet, it could also be used twice. Is that a coincidence?"
"Did the teacher come to Riverwood Town 33 years ago?"
The sorceress was somewhat absent-minded, so Shade took the opportunity to ask:
"Have you graduated by then?"
"No, I was just now. Don't try to calculate my age from this."
She said this immediately, and then looked at the door with a serious expression:
"If you use both chances now, what will happen to this door?"
"I don't know. This is not a normal time tunnel. It's possible that this distortion will disappear, but it's also possible that something bad will happen. So it's best not to do this."
Xia De shook his head. If these "twisted tree holes" were really a disaster caused by the changes in the world, then the consequences would probably not be simply the disappearance of the tree holes.
Miss Danister pursed her lips and nodded:
"Fortunately, this tree hole can be used twice."
"Even if I can use it twice, I won't let you use it. Do you remember what you promised me?"
The red-haired girl nodded somewhat unwillingly:
"I see. You're so long-winded. Xia De, do you think that the teacher came to three years ago through this door? Was it an accident like me and Flora, where the tree hole opened unstably, or was it like you, where you used a key to open the door? It's probably an accident. The teacher doesn't have the talent for time."
[Unexpectedly, the twisted tree hole opened with the time key is a one-way door. ]
"Unexpectedly, the tree hole opened with the time key is a one-way door. I can only come back from the past because of time constraints."
Shad explains:
"So there's a high probability that your teacher was also tainted with the time curse. If we can find her, maybe we can figure out if she expelled the curse. Didn't she ever talk about time travel and the time curse before she disappeared?"
Xia De asked seriously, and the red-haired girl shook her head in disappointment:
"No, never. The teacher doesn't tell me everything. But I will tell you everything I know. I am different from the teacher."
She didn't want to show how close she was to Xia De, but she wanted to show that she was better than the teacher - this was how a child would act out of anger.
"It's almost four in the afternoon, let's go back now. This door will be placed in your room, but it must be placed in the innermost room of the suite, and you can't approach it casually. I don't want you to be dragged into the past again."
Judging from the experience of the cabinet, as long as you don’t get too close to these “twisted tree holes”, you won’t be sucked in easily.
"I know. When I go back, I will check the things left by the teacher again. Maybe there are clues that I haven't noticed before."
The red-haired girl said, her tone not too low. Being able to find this door was something she had not expected before leaving this morning. Now that Xia De is by her side, she believes that one day she will be able to cross time and meet her teacher.
Even if she couldn't see him, Danister Gustav would be satisfied if Shade could meet the teacher:
"Shad, if someone in Ximu Town has mastered a method of safe time travel, will you stop me from using this door in this way?"
"You mean the matter of Lord Cumming and his son?"
Shade asked, turning back to look at the well. Although he promised not to deal with the ghost, he also had to use the spell - [Oath Binding] to ensure that Miss Ashley Bettany would not hurt anyone or talk nonsense.
"Yes."
"That won't work either. I don't believe that traveling through time through the 'Twisted Tree Hole' can be free of cost. This is the calamity of time."
As he spoke, he walked towards the well, and the red-haired girl followed him. The door floated behind them.
"So you think you're the only exception. Shade, you're so arrogant~"
She poked Xia De's arm from behind with some dissatisfaction.
"Arrogance is indeed my original sin. Listen to me today. I will not let you use this door."
"I didn't want to use it either. Am I the kind of impulsive person? But Xia De, when I recover, just wait for me to assign you homework~"
