Chapter 2619 The Doctor's Big Plan
"Potions can be discussed later."

Miss Danister brought the subject back:
"To sum up, the enemy this time is a ring sorcerer who knows about tree holes but does not control them himself, and is over fifty years old? If the opponent is strong enough, sixty or seventy years old is not considered old.

So, Xia De, what are you going to do tomorrow? I won't agree to you going alone."

"Of course I won't go by myself, Miss Winslet, and I'll have to trouble you to turn back into an owl and follow me."

"no problem."

The witch immediately smiled and said that she was very satisfied that she could follow Shad back to the past, and because her true form was an owl, she could continue to follow Shad in the present.

But the red-haired sorceress was dissatisfied with this:

"What about me? Should I stay and continue looking through the materials?"

"Dannister, until we find a way to limit the tree holes, someone has to stay and guard them. Your contribution is no less than mine."

The witch smiled and told her apprentice to prepare lunch:
"Since you have something to do this afternoon, let's meet here tomorrow. For safety reasons, I have arranged for my followers to ambush nearby in advance. Don't worry about keeping it secret, my girls are all very good at hiding themselves."

The red-haired girl at the side pulled at Shade's sleeve, looking very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about it.

After lunch, Shade did not throw the crystal slipper home, because that would take the book out of Vesta. So he honestly set out from the city to the woods, and it took him nearly an hour to arrive at the tree house of the elf girl.

Coincidentally, she was eating lunch on the platform outside the tree house, where she could see the scenery of the woodland. Seeing Xia De turned into a red butterfly and flew up, she said modestly:
"I didn't prepare your lunch."

"It's okay, I've prepared yours."

He put the food he had packed from the hotel on the table. The blond elf pouted slightly and stood up to get a new set of knife and fork for Shade:
"You came to see me because you have something else to do, right?"

"I would come to you even if I had nothing to do. Of course, this time I have something to do. I found another tree hole and discovered a strange story."

During the second lunch, Shade briefly told the story of the Cumming family. He was now very familiar with this story. After finishing the story, he took out the book, and Miss Elf did not refuse:
"It's fine to help you keep the book temporarily, but you can't do this forever. If you find a brand new tree hole next, who can you turn to?"

"That's the problem. I currently lack a way to destroy these twisted tree holes, and I also lack a way to restrict them from opening at will."

Although they were talking while eating, her movements were very graceful:

"Can anyone of you completely eliminate the 'special light area' that appears centered in the Moon Bay area? So far, the church has only mastered the 'Nightfall Seal' to resist those lights. Therefore, the twisted tree hole cannot be easily eliminated."

She was right. Even the "Power of the Earth·Healing Aura" could only weaken the light intensity in the special light area, instead of completely purifying it:
"Since the tree holes cannot be completely eliminated, is there any way to limit them?"

The emerald green eyes glanced at him:
"Of course there is a way, but I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when I get the second arrow."

Xia De did not object:
"I use the time key to use these tree holes without the curse. But I can sense that this opportunity is limited in number. Do you know what will happen if I run out of times?"

He asked again, expecting the elf in front of him to propose new conditions, or to say a "riddle" that he couldn't understand, but he didn't expect the other party to answer very straightforwardly:
“It’s simple, the tree hole is completely out of control.

Today, these tree holes are still attached to the main body of the "tree", and are still restricted by the remaining power of the tree father. If you use up those restrictive powers, the distorted space-time channel will be completely opened and spread rapidly, which will probably lead to the overlap of the two time-spaces, and then cause a large-scale collapse of time, and finally cause the entire Ximu Town to completely disappear in the long river of time. "

Shade nodded to express his understanding:

"That is to say, if I can find a way to restore those limiting powers, I can actually achieve the 'recharge' of the number of times those twisted tree holes can be used?"

Miss Elf smiled:
"Interesting idea, but you have to explore the possibilities yourself, I can't help you."

"What about the paradox worm? The facts of the Cumming family have been basically uncovered. After confirming who is 'blackmailing' Baron Cumming tomorrow, I will try to find the second paradox worm. Can you help? To be honest, it is difficult for me to fight that worm alone."

The tall elf girl nodded:

“Of course, after all, I still need you to help me find arrows, and I can’t let you get into danger.

However, it's not as troublesome as you think. If you can use the [Leaf of Eternal Youth] to detect whose soul the bug is in, you might be able to kill it before it leaves the human body and manifests its power. The bug hiding in the soul of the cursed is not scary, at least not to you and me. "

So at the group meeting that afternoon, Shad brought "The Cumming Family Story" to everyone.

Although Luvia already knew the story, Dorothy probably heard fragments from Carina through Resia, Dr. Schneider was accustomed to all kinds of family trivialities and quarrels, and the old priest had heard more sensational things in church, the story was always fascinating.

After all, the story of the Cummings involves three generations of grievances, incest within the family, confusion of parent-child relationships, conspiracy and deeper conspiracy, sacrifice and true "fate".

According to Dorothy, if someone wrote this story, the editor would even write those "key words" on the back of the book jacket when writing the recommendation.

"I can't adapt the story this time, I can only draw some inspiration. After all, although there are vague elements of the occult in my detective novels, time travel is really too much."

The writer felt very sorry about this, and Xia De, who was peeling an orange, said casually:

“At the end of the year, I will release ‘The Detective Who Traveled Through Time’ as a special chapter. I will write about a detective who traveled through time a hundred years ago and solved a case in the background before the steam age. I can write more jokes caused by the differences in time and cultural background.

At the end of the story, the detective solves the case perfectly, and then "wakes up" in modern times to find that it was just a dream. But at the end, he sees the archaeological news and is surprised to find evidence that he may have existed 100 years ago. But the evidence must be very vague, representing openness. "

After saying this, he was about to tease the cat with the pungent orange fruit which the cat didn't like, but then he noticed that everyone was looking at him.

"Shad, you are a genius!"

If not everyone in the group was here, Dorothy would have loved to give Shad a passionate kiss right away.

Father Augustus also nodded in surprise:

"It's a good idea indeed, and even if some people don't like it, it's just a special chapter at the end of the year."

"Let's discuss business."

Xia De tried to bring the topic back and asked Luvia:
"Didn't you participate in the fall stargazing event last year? Are you going to participate this year?"

"Of course!"

So this autumn, Luvia will have to take out one or two weeks to live in number 6, Place Sainte-Teresa.

Xia De successfully brought back the topic of the group study session. Now that the fall semester has begun for nearly a month, the lazy people also want to find something serious to do.

Considering that everyone in the group completed a level upgrade during the Moon Bay incident this summer, everyone needs new magic, relics and courses. Although everyone has been planning since the beginning of this month, it has not been finalized until now.

In addition to these routine self-improvements, the most important thing is that Priest Augustus who entered the middle ring and Dr. Schneider who entered the high ring must determine their own words of sublimation.

The Word of Ascension is a secret among the ring wizards, but there is no need to hide it from other members of the team. After all, they may need help with specific spirit runes in the future.

Therefore, Father Augustus, who was sitting on the armchair at the side, introduced himself first:

"I only have one core spirit rune, [Glimmer], and the low-level sublimation word is -

Falling into darkness, sinking into the abyss, I am the light.

I found the right words for Zhonghuan’s sublimation from the academy’s “Sublimation Code”:

A glimmer rises, the heart breaks, and everything is nothingness. A glimmer, rises, heart, breaks, nothingness. Among these, only nothingness is relatively difficult, and the others are all common spiritual runes. "

“But the meaning of this sentence is not very good.”

Xia De reminded him, and the old priest who was wiping his pipe said cheerfully:
"Don't worry about me. I'm fine now after a vacation in Moon Bay. At least for now."

The doctor then introduced himself:
"My core spiritual runes are the same as the detective's, both of which are [Light of the Soul] and [Dream]. The low-level sublimation words are: The hound of light runs in the malicious dream; the medium-level sublimation words are: The lunatic lurking in the darkness, the light of the destructive soul.

The two core spirit runes are used in both low and medium rings, so the academy says that any core spirit rune used in high rings can be used.

The academy's "Sublimation Code" does not have a sublimation word suitable for me. I currently have my own ideas, but they need to be verified before they can be realized. The general situation is that I am trying to find a way to add a core spirit rune for myself."

After the words fell, the other four looked at each other. None of them thought that the doctor was going to do this. Finally, the writer, the fortune teller, and the priest all looked at Shade, and Shade had to speak on behalf of everyone to remind:
"Doctor, you know the risks."
