Chapter 2372 [Ocarina of Time]

The summer night wind was a little chilly, and the starlight and moonlight illuminated the quiet countryside. Under the big tree at the crossroads, the elf girl blushed a little because of Xia De's gaze:

"Okay, I know. I'm just a little scared, but I also want to be like those legendary heroes and, like you, to accomplish something great.

I am not looking for fame, and I know that great things often require sacrifice, but I aspire to become such a person, someone who can make other people's lives better."

"Then hold on to this expectation and wait for fate to give you a suitable opportunity. It doesn't necessarily have to be an opportunity to defeat the devil again. Sometimes being a hero is as simple as saving a child from a fire."

Shade said, Emilia pursed her lips and nodded, then looked up at the stars above the treetops with some relief:

"Ajelina is right, Shade, you are really good at comforting others. You are so kind. No matter how dark the future is, I will remember your words. This is a ray of light you give me."

This compliment made Xia De a little embarrassed. He thought about it and said seriously:

"Don't let others be your light, Emilia, remember--"

He coughed lightly, and then spoke in a somewhat awkward but elegant non-human language:

“No matter what darkness we face in the future, we must always believe in our own light. That is the purest power we possess as extraordinary humans (Elf language).”

The elf girl looked at him curiously, but saw that Shade was also looking up at the starry sky:

"That's what my teacher told me a long time ago. (Chapter 381)"

"Is it Miss Danister?"

"No, it's Miss Felianna, Miss Myrna Felianna."

When the name was mentioned, the face of a blonde witch wearing a pointed hat and as beautiful as a violet flashed before Shade's eyes.

"Wow~"

The pointy-eared elf girl exclaimed adorably and nodded, but she suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask any more questions:

"This sentence is really wonderful. Although I am not a human but an elf, I will remember it."

The little elf clenched her fists and felt a little warmer in her heart, but she saw Shade looking at her again:

"Look behind you."

"what?"

Emilia turned her head and looked back. Thick steam mist had already emerged. The enlightenment elements, which were not very strong, but had a strong presence, gathered on the life ring that emerged from the thick mist as Emilia watched.

The whistle and the bell were playing, and the brass-colored spiritual light was not dazzling, but it was definitely clear. A moment later, the last spiritual rune of Emilia's five rings, Enlightenment-[Light of Self], was engraved on the life ring.

Emilia said that she had already obtained the first spirit rune of the middle ring sublimation language, which means that she is ready to be promoted to the sixth ring. By the standards of elves, she is still a minor elf, but she can be called a "genius" among her peers.

"When I was at your house, I got the Whisper - Fear (Chapter 2117) because of the [Malicious Serial Curse Letter], and I got the Miracle - Hero when I drew the sword on the clock tower, and now I got this. Before the end of this summer, I have already obtained three spirit runes. What is written in the adventure stories is true. The more dangerous the place, the greater the reward."

She withdrew her gaze from behind, and hid the life ring again. There was joy on her face, probably thinking of writing a letter home to report the good news.

Xia De was also happy for her. He was not surprised at all that Emilia obtained the spirit rune just because of one sentence.

Maybe the elf girl had accumulated a lot of knowledge long ago, but just lacked the final realization. And she was a candidate for "light" after all, so even if her ranking was low, it was quite normal for her to obtain the spirit rune related to "light" before the story of Moon Bay was about to end.

But when he saw her life ring just now, Xia De remembered another thing:

"I wanted to ask you this before. You only have space-related spiritual runes, but no time-related spiritual runes, right?"

Emilia, who was a little excited just now, nodded embarrassedly:

"My mother once said that with the blood I inherited, I would most likely be able to awaken my time talent before adulthood. I was looking forward to it before I entered school, hoping to enter the History School like most of my ancestors, but unfortunately I failed, so I joined the Chemistry School and took care of little Lianna and the others."

After that, he whispered:

“I am looking forward to joining the History Faculty because our ancestors left behind a lot of course notes and exam materials, which will make studying easier.”

"Yes, that's a pity. The exam subjects of the History School are not easy. You know, I took the cross-grade exam this summer. Not only did I take the subjects of two grades, but Miss Danister even added two subjects from the Library Management School. It was agreed that I should take those two subjects as elective courses."

Talking about college life together and complaining about exams made the conversation more relaxed.

After finishing the conversation, the two of them tacitly did not speak, but stood under the tree together looking at the vast stars. It was still midsummer, and the starry sky in this slightly cold summer was as magnificent as in previous years.

Emilia has experienced this season more than fifty times, but she particularly likes this year; the stranger is experiencing this season in this world for the second time, and he cherishes this memory very much.

The agreed meeting time with the delivery man was 8pm, and he showed up at 7:53pm on the country dirt road in the direction that Shad and Emilia were facing.

He was wearing a cloak, but his other clothes were normal. Because he did not deliberately hide his appearance, Shade could tell that he was also a pure-blooded elf. Judging from his appearance, this elf uncle was about 40 years old, but in fact he was probably over 100 years old.

The strange elf seemed to be Emilia’s relative. Emilia was so happy that she wanted to shout out his name, but after being looked at by the other party, she shut her mouth obediently.

The elf didn't say much, just looked at Shade and nodded slightly, untied the long cloth-wrapped package on his back and handed it forward. Of course, he didn't hand it to Emilia but to Shade.

I don't know what method the elves used, but I couldn't feel any whispering elements on this cloth. Only when Shade held it did he feel the surging power.

The other party nodded to Emilia without saying a word, handed her a letter, waved goodbye to the two of them, and turned back along the same path. The total time he spent with Shad and Emilia was no more than two minutes.

“It’s really efficient.”

Shade praised, and seeing Emilia nervously opening the letter to read it, he lowered his head to look at the thing in his hand. After untying the rope, the long sword wrapped inside suddenly appeared.

This sword is "heavier" than any relic sword Shade has ever touched. He originally thought that the long sword named "Ocarina of Time" would be in the shape of a pointer, but the shape of this sword is actually very regular. Emilia said it was made of wood, but it looks like metal. White metal wrapped around the black part in the center of the blade, and the black blade has the shape of tree grain, and along the direction of the tree grain, several green gems are inlaid on it.

He tried to hold the hilt of the sword, and "she" beside his ear smiled and said:

[Outsider, you have touched an item from the First Age. The magic "Ancient Voice" has been triggered:]

[The World Tree once supported the world in the First Age and organized the veins of time. The elves at that time picked up leaves and fallen branches from the World Tree to peek into the stories at the other end of the long river of time. Since then, the power of time has been deeply immersed in their blood, and even now, this has not changed. ]

"You mean, it's really just a matter of time before Emilia awakens her gift for time?"

"She" just chuckled, so Shade waved the [Ocarina of Time], and a melodious flute sound was indeed heard amid the whooshing sound of breaking through the air. Moreover, the sound matched the rhythm of Shade's sword swinging and would not disrupt his movements in battle.

The length of [Ocarina of Time] is roughly the same as [Night Watch], but because the blade is thicker, it is also heavier. A black non-slip fabric is wrapped around the hilt, and the common guard is decorated with elf patterns and vine patterns.

In addition to the white wrapped in black, and the black dotted with emeralds, the blade of the long sword actually has dense and imperceptible consecration prayers, which are prayers in ancient Elvish. These engravings are difficult to distinguish even with the naked eye of Shade, and need "her" to perceive and interpret.

The only sentence that was not in the ancient Elven language, but seemed to be a language from an even older era, read:

【The wind of time blows the flute. 】

This long sword had a more ancient and weathered feel than any other long sword Shade had ever seen. Even just by looking at this simple angel-level long sword, he seemed to be able to feel the flow of time with his heart.

After trying to swing it twice more, Shade guided his spirit into the relic in his hand. Without even asking Emilia, he knew that in order to use the weapon's functions of "slowing down time", "speeding up time" or even "pausing time", he only needed to use his spirit to activate different green gems and different parts of the prayer in the appropriate way.

The "time pause" feature of this sword is not to just pause the time of an individual like "Adele's Time Standstill", but to pause the time of an area except for the sword holder himself.

But correspondingly, "she" explained to Xia De that it was not recommended for Xia De to do this:

[The consumption is huge, basically equivalent to you fully deploying the maze. ]

Xia De didn't think about trying to use these properties right now, but wanted to test the sword's enhancement of the power of "time". After all, he wanted to use this sword for this reason.

He had quite a few time-related magic. He thought about it and looked at Emilia, who was reading a letter from home, with some "evil intentions".
