Whispering Poems

Chapter 2595 Time Travel Rules
The moonlight passed through the forest in the afternoon sun, and the fluctuating light was not dazzling at all. The strange lady seemed to raise her hand to touch the light, and then she turned her back to Shade in the sun and sighed again:

“Such a pure silver moon reminds me of the ancients’ praise for the original moon in those ancient texts.

You have pure moonlight and excellent time talent. Even if you are not chosen by her, you are qualified to compete for the president's seat after you get a tenured position in the college. Very good, seeing that the college has successors, and each generation is better than the previous one, I feel relieved now. "

"It's not that I have outstanding talent, but that Miss Danister has good taste. Excuse me, do you really not want to meet Miss Danister?"

Xia De asked again. After all, if she wanted to see him just now, she would not have spoken after Xia De cast "Time Standstill".

The strange lady shook her head:
"No, sometimes it's better not to meet. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I have to try my best to avoid affecting the stability of time. You and I are not from the same generation, so I am talking to you, but Danister and I are too involved."

She hesitated for a moment before continuing:
“But since you have touched these strange tree holes, you have been involved in the affairs of Ximu Town.

There is something I must tell you. Creekwood and Vista Grove are really strange places. If the time stability in other places is a densely stacked tapestry, then the time stability here is like a large-mesh sieve.

I didn't come here for the time travel thing, but after careful investigation, the things here are really hard to describe. Tell me, young man, in the future, will there be more time travel incidents in Ximu Town?"

"How can I describe it? I encountered it three times in the week I was here."

Shad then added:
"And it seems that the eighth chapter of The Whispering Poems, the story of the Chosen One of Time, will unfold here."

"The Whispering Verses. The legends and epics of the Sixth Age. Are they in Danister's generation?"

The lady leaning against the tree was silent for a few seconds:

"I will stay in Ximu Town of this era for a while. Even though we are not at the same time point, I should still have a chance to help you. I thought these strange tree holes were the remaining power of the ancient gods, but now it seems that this is the source of the disaster.

Oh, do you know the rules of time travel in tree holes?"

"I only know one thing: if time travelers appear in a place where they have stayed for a long time in the past, they will spontaneously be attracted to that time again."

This is the experience summarized from the old Bennet house, and the strange lady continued to add:

"Rule 2: The more stable the tree hole, the more unique the time point it connects to. If you travel through time through a stable tree hole, the time curse you will receive will be less severe.

Rule 3: Anyone who travels through time through these tree holes will be cursed by time, but the stronger the person, the more obvious the curse. For example, Danister turned back to 18 years old. If you think about it carefully, she is really lucky.

Ordinary people suffer a mild curse, probably because their souls, spirits, and elements are weaker. But the time curse is fair to everyone, so even if the curse is mild, it must be an unbearable price. "

Xia De was just thinking about whether to take out his notebook to write down "Tree Hole Stability Judgment" and "Time Curse Inevitability" when he was suddenly startled and a look of horror appeared on his face:

"Ma'am, I have a very important question. If I accidentally transform my pet cat into a toy and bring it to this time and space, will it also suffer from the time curse?"

His hand touched his shirt pocket, but Mia's toy was still there. Endless regret was intertwined in his heart at this moment. He didn't expect that he didn't realize this problem, but at the same time he hoped that Mia would be judged as "non-living" at this time, and might not be cursed.

The lady in the black dress gave a better answer:

"When you pass through the tree hole, any Transfiguration spell will fail, and everything will return to its original state. If your toy Transfiguration spell is still effective, it can only mean that either your cat was originally a toy, or your magic comes from the power of God.

In this state, it will not be cursed, and you can even change it back to be active in this era to a limited extent. But again, it came because of you and will be regarded as a part of you. If it violates the rules of time, the curse will befall you.

This works for all animals, but don’t do it to humans, they are different.”

Only then did Shad feel relieved. That is to say, the magical technique [Toy Making] that had been blessed in the "Holy White Chapel" could safely "smuggle" Mia and other animals to the other end of the tree hole, but Shad needed to keep a good eye on them.

This also means that it is entirely possible for Shade to smuggle "Miss Owl" here, because she is really just an owl now. As for the magic "cannot carry creatures that are forced to transform through the corridor of time and the labyrinth of space", it doesn't matter, because the "twisted tree hole" is not a corridor of time at all. Shade will know whether he can bring Miss Owl with him after trying it next time.

"Since you know so much, you also have the time curse, right? Is there no way for you to remove this curse?"

Feeling relieved about Mia's situation, Shad hurriedly asked again, time is running out.

"I also have a curse, and I have a way to deal with it, but Danister can't copy my method. You can think of it as using a precious one-time relic in the academy's collection to transfer the curse I suffered to the moment of my death.

But Danister also has her own way. Although she is not a time-giver, she certainly did not touch the taboos and stability of time during the process of traveling through time. Therefore, she was only cursed because of illegal travel. Speaking of which, do you know her bloodline?"

"Miss Danister said that her great-grandmother was from the Storm Chaser clan. This is also an elven clan that believes in the Treefather, so Miss Danister has one-eighth elven blood. (2035)"

Xia De immediately recalled that the strange lady nodded slightly with her back to him:
"Yes, so to a certain extent she is 'one of us'. Although this bloodline will not allow her to be cursed, now she is only cursed because of illegal crossing, so there is a possibility of 'redemption'. [Paradox Worm].

Ancient evil - paradox worm, I will not tell you what it is, otherwise this tree hole will completely collapse. Go check the information on your own time, the possibility of Danister's recovery is here. Of course, it's just a possibility. Also, don't ask Danister what it is, go check it yourself, and tell her yourself after you find it. "

But Shade was sure that Miss Winslet had no elven blood, she was a pure human. So the "smuggling method" only worked on Miss Winslet, and the "paradox worm" only worked on Miss Danister.

But no matter what, at least there is finally a possible way to solve Miss Danister's problem, which is progress.

"I understand. I will investigate on my own. We should go now. One last time, are you really unwilling to meet Miss Danister?"

He asked in the mottled shadows of the trees. The warm breeze of the summer afternoon blew past the two of them. The lady's back left the tree, but her back was still facing Xia De:

"I don't know what will happen in the future, but judging from her performance in the illusion, I'd better not give her any hope. Farewell, young man. May the moon bless you, me, and her."

She disappeared as if she had melted into the sunlight. Shade nodded slightly in that direction, then turned around, patted Miss Danister on the shoulder, and took out the key from his pocket:
"Hold my hand. I may have to forcibly pull you back in a little while. May the World Tree protect me in the infinite time."

The scenery of Room 317 of the Accordion Hotel was coming back, and the scenery of the woodland under the sun was gradually becoming blurred. Because the picture in front of her was very coherent, the red-haired girl did not realize that she had missed two important minutes.
Just when Xia De read out the current time and pulled the illusory red-haired girl towards him, the young girl suddenly turned around and looked at the sunlight under the tree not far away.

She didn't know why she suddenly did this, there was clearly nothing there. When she wanted to take a closer look, she was brought back to 1854 by Shade.

"Mia!"

Shade immediately changed the cat back to its original state, then stroked its head to make sure it was not cursed. Then, with the cat's confused expression, he changed it back to a toy.

At this time, Shad and Miss Danister were standing in front of the dilapidated wooden door at the deepest part of the cloakroom in Room 317. Shad quickly inserted the time key in his hand into the keyhole again, confirming that this door to 1821 really had only one last chance to be used. Then he turned around and asked Miss Danister, who looked melancholy:

"It looks like you made it back successfully. What happened here? Miss Bell just told me that you wanted Adele Isabella to find a way to use the door safely, and when she refused, she took Miss Winslet to room 321 alone, and then things got out of control."

The thin white mist that filled the room was slowly disappearing. Judging from its density, it was obvious that the mist was floating out from this door.

Miss Danister looked a little guilty, but still shook her head:
"I'm not sure either. This morning at 8:40, the thirteen-ring witch arrived at the inn, and what happened afterwards was just as you said.

The three of them left my room and didn't come back immediately, so I was alone in this room. Everything was normal at first, then I noticed a layer of fog in the room, and then I found that the source of the fog was the door, but before I could do anything, I suddenly appeared in the illusion.

I didn't break your magic, and I didn't think of using this door. I did think about it, but I didn't do it. This door pulled me in."
