Whispering Poems

Chapter 2664 Abnormal Target
Then the topic continued, and Shade told the story of the [Damaged Antarctic Constellation Clock] yesterday. The only thing he concealed in this story was his relationship with Vanessa and Sirius, but he did not hide his relationship with Iluna.

After finishing the story, he still needed to ask Miss Danister for help regarding Iluna:
"Iluna will come to Vestal Glade tomorrow morning. This matter is kept secret from the church. Can the academy lend us a relic that allowed her to come here? A one-way trip will do. She will have a way to get back."

"Of course, it's just a small matter."

After all, Miss Danister had long known that the relationship between Shade and Iluna was not normal, but Miss Winslet did not know. She was just wondering if Vanessa had seen Shade. If she had seen him, she would have noticed something unusual. But after hearing about the Chosen One, she was immediately drawn to this topic:

"Iluna Beyath? I heard from Carina that she has a pretty good relationship with the chosen one. She is teaching the chosen one some witch secrets of the balance system."

"Yes, I introduced it."

Xia De didn't hide much:

"Actually, I first met Iluna, when I was looking for this cat (Chapter 25)."

Then he patted Mia's head gently:
"I have a very good relationship with Miss Iluna Beias, and I even invited her to dinner at my home. Didn't that dragon beast appear in the local area? The Sunlight Lance she is good at is a magic trick for hunting dragons, and the power of the Chosen One may be effective against that twisted monster, so I asked her to come here to take a look at the situation."

Miss Winslet nodded slightly, thinking that she would meet the girl she had heard of tomorrow. At this moment, she had no idea that Shad had any other relationship with such a famous girl.

And Shade continued to say to Miss Danister:
"Also, I found some interesting information from a friend in Tobesk yesterday. The Church of the Dawn has preserved a large-scale ritual that can stabilize time. That ritual can contain the twisted tree hole we found. Can we let the Church of the Dawn know about this through the academy? It's not appropriate to let the Witch Council pass on the message yet."

The red-haired girl nodded again and agreed. She was not surprised at all that Xia De could always come up with such big news.

And of course, Shade has not forgotten the paradox worm potion. The potion can be drunk directly without any other complicated processes.

Because only Miss Danister had elven blood, the potion only worked on her. The [Time Stabilization Anchor] bought from the hermits on Monday restored her total spiritual power to one twentieth of its peak. After drinking the elven potion, as the steam and mist rolled behind her, an eight-ring life ring appeared in the room.

"It has recovered from the seventh ring to the eighth ring."

The red-haired girl said with a little surprise, and took out a mirror to look at her face, and then she was glad to find that she was still eighteen years old:
"I've even been thinking lately that it would be nice if when the curse is lifted, only the level is restored but not the age."

"How could such a good thing happen?"

The witch, who was afraid that she would be an owl all her life, immediately said this, and then asked:
"But if one potion restores one level, then with five more you will actually restore thirteen levels, right?"

Shad corrected:
“It’s not that easy. The elf said that the effect of each potion becomes weaker and weaker, and the more you recover, the weaker the effect will be.

The paradox worm potion cannot completely remove the time curse. This method can only restore Miss Danister to the twelfth ring at best. But even so, I am afraid we will have to kill hundreds of worms to get enough raw materials.

The real hope is still with Sister Daveline. Although this potion is effective, it is only a suppression, not a solution. "

"At least she's actually recovering. I'm still an owl."

"That's why you can transform into a toy and follow Shade through the tree hole again, but I can only stay here."

Miss Danister pointed out, and the witch became happy again.

On Tuesday when Shade was not in the area, the two ladies were certainly not idle. Miss Danister contacted the Nightsong Elves in the academy for Shade and asked about the past events of the Fifth Age.

The good news is that the Nightsong Elves currently living in Saint Byrons still retain some ethnic data from the Fifth Epoch, and they really did live in the Vestal Forest, which means that Shade does not have to contact other Nightsong Elves.
The bad news is that those old materials and records require time to look through and search, so even if they have recorded the "black fog of death" in the forest, it will probably take Shade a few days to get the information.

As for Miss Winslet, after getting the oak fruits that can detect "time travelers" yesterday, she ate one and turned into an owl and flew around the city, but as expected, she found nothing.

Apart from that, the city has been peaceful since the fierce battle in the night sky last Sunday night. The Tree Hole Society has disappeared again, and no one has checked the antique paintings under the Bennett's old house.

Only the local church was active, but they did not carry out activities in the city, but dispatched personnel to go deep into the woods to search for something. However, the reinforcements sent from other places this time were still only the thirteenth-ring "Master of Construction" from Willendel and the high-ring investigation team composed of the Dawn Church, the Sun Church, the Creation Church, and the Peace Church who also came from Willendel.

The church is obviously afraid of something, and I can ask Iluna about this later.

"So there is no plan for today, Shade. Do you want to meet the hermits again, or gather information about the dragon a hundred years ago in the city, or observe the Bennet family again, or do you have any other ideas?"

Miss Danister gave four suggestions, but Shade shook his head:
"The hermits said that it's best not to eat those acorns continuously, so I'm going to try it today."

The acorns were already roasted and could be eaten after the shells were peeled. It was difficult for Shade to evaluate the taste, it wasn't bad but it wasn't delicious either, and fortunately it was only a small amount that could be eaten in one bite.

"Meow~"

"It's not food, so there's no share for you."

[Outsider, you have eaten the "Beacon Acorn", and are retrieving the abnormal timestamp]

"Strong spatial perception!"

[Perception range expanded, please wait. Search completed, number of abnormal objects found: 1. ]

Even his perception could not cover the entire Vestal Woods, so the search range was only the surrounding area. This abnormal object was obviously not the elf girl living deep in the forest.

"A time traveler has been discovered."

Xia De said to the two ladies calmly, and then extended his hand to them:
"Who's going with me today?"

Because it was Miss Danister who went to the woods with Shade on Monday, the witch stood up:
"I'll go, and let Danister wait here for news from your academy."

The red-haired sorceress remained calm on the surface, but secretly pouted in her heart:
"Okay, but Shade, where did you sense the time traveler? Flora flew around the city for an entire afternoon yesterday and didn't find him. Could it be that he just happened to come into the city today?"

The location given by the "Beacon Acorn" when sensing different timestamps is very vague, but after taking the acorn, you can recognize the other party at a glance:

"Deep in the woods, probably"

Miss Bell took out the tourist map of the city and the secret map she had bought from the hermits on Monday. Shade pointed at the map, and the two ladies and the cat stretched their heads to look, then said in surprise:

"Why are you here? Mulin Outpost!"

As a major transportation hub close to the royal capital of Willendel, the Vestawood has two camps of the First Legion of the Carsenrick Royal Army. One of them is the "Duskwood Outpost" located deep in the woods southwest of the city.

The area of ​​this outpost is much larger than the "Red Water Camp" in Delarian that Shad visited when he was in Midhill Castle, and the highest commander of the Duskwood Outpost is usually a colonel-level officer directly appointed by Willendel.

As for the function of this outpost, it is not to guard the royal capital, but to serve as a training camp for the guards of the royal capital.

Therefore, in addition to the young officers of the royal capital who came to gild themselves as Eric Foren said, and the garrison troops of the camp itself, the royal capital's troops would also come here according to the season to conduct drills on survival in the wild, confrontation, searching for the enemy, and military formations.

So the permanent troops in the camp itself are not important, but the camp is quite important.

"But how strong is your perception? Even though I've turned into an owl and my level has dropped, I'm a witch and a ring sorcerer on the side. How can my perception be so much worse than yours?"

However, Shade and the witch did not actually go deep into the woods to explore, because when Shade once again confirmed the location and discussed the infiltration plan with the witch, he discovered that the abnormal timestamp had actually begun to move.

So they waited in the room for a while, and finally confirmed that the direction of the timestamp was the direction of the city. Although Shade could only sense the vague position, he could calculate the speed of the other party's movement with the blurred area as the center:

"We should take a carriage. We should be able to enter the city around noon."

So even though they were ready to go, no one went out for the whole morning. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the morning, Shade even helped Miss Winslet make a few more bottles of "warmth" potion.

But looking at the witch's expression, you can tell that she is not interested in the potion, or the effect of the potion does not satisfy her.

The three of them even had lunch together before their target came into town. After lunch, the owl caught the silver cat and flew into the sky. Miss Danister said goodbye to them at the window, then turned to look at Mia lying on the back of the short sofa, feeling inexplicably lonely.
