The Whispering Verses Chapter 197: Eternal Youth
Miss Louisa was dissatisfied with Shade's question, so she asked:
"Xia De, why should the children be afraid? This fairy tale praises friendship and tells the children that friendship will last forever even if they encounter difficulties and setbacks. There is a touch of sadness in it, and it is even more... It's wonderful. This is my favorite fairy tale. Although it has a sad ending like Stick Girl, the story of Stick Girl makes people feel regretful, while the story of Kiss from the Tree makes people feel sad at the same time. The ending is the perfect feeling.”
A long string of words came out of his mouth, and his face turned slightly red to represent his excitement.
Shad, who was holding the cat, was thinking and trying to express his opinion:
"Miss Louisa, you see, if you understand this story in another way, the ancient tree is actually a relic or some kind of evil thing that can attract beautiful girls, cultivate them and then eat them and digest them. body to nourish itself..."
"That's enough, Shade, don't ruin my childhood memories."
Miss Louisa stopped Shade's "reading comprehension" with some dissatisfaction. Shade could only stop, but still asked:
"If you think about it this way, isn't this a horror story?"
The blonde female writer looked at him with even more dissatisfaction.
"Xia De, it seems that it is very necessary for me to be your teacher and guide you to understand the enlightenment of literature. Believe me, you are still far away."
Then the topic finally returned to the right track, which was how to use the two leaves in Shade's hand.
"What I just said is just an outline of the story. The details show that when the princess puts the falling leaves of the giant tree in front of her eyes, she can see the story that the giant tree wants her to know. This fairy tale has spread far and wide. , the origin can even be traced back to the Quaternary Period or even further in the past. Therefore, in our culture, the action of placing leaves in front of our eyes usually refers to understanding the knowledge given by the tree.
This also has a corresponding meaning in occultism. I think except you, all ring warlocks should know it when they get the leaf. ”
Miss Louisa said, Shade suddenly realized that that was why he put the leaf on his forehead yesterday and pressed it under the pillow before going to bed. It had no effect:
"Then I'll try it now."
"It's fine here. I'm actually curious about what gift the Ancient God will give you. Before this, I've never even heard of the name Ancient God."
Miss Louisa picked up her tea cup, and Shade first called out the life ring, and then randomly selected one of the two leaves. After all, the leaf didn't have any corresponding knowledge written on it.
Close your left eye tightly and place the leaf in front of your right eye. A stream of cold air immediately penetrated from the eyes into the brain. But it feels pretty good, even a bit enjoyable.
After that, the cold breath lasted for tens of seconds before disappearing, and the knowledge representing thaumaturgy automatically appeared in Shade's head.
He took the blade away from his eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the extra knowledge. Miss Louisa took the used leaves from Shade's hand and tried it in front of her eyes. She found that it was of no use, and then put it in front of her nose and sniffed:
"Interesting, I thought this leaf would be destroyed after use. It's really interesting. This leaf can still be used. I feel the majestic vitality. This is... interesting, This leaf comes from the ancient **** and floats out of the corridor of time you mentioned. Therefore, theoretically, this leaf does not belong to this era, but comes from the fifth era."
The blonde writer lowered her head to observe the texture of the leaves, and she probably made a very important discovery.
"Yes."
Shad agreed.
"So, it is a relic now, and when I thought about what it was, the reminder of the whisper element naturally appeared in my ears."
She handed the leaf to Shade, and the voice in Shade's ear promptly reminded him of the whisper. As for the lack of prompting before handing it out, probably the remaining ancient god's power in the leaf at that time was still suppressing the elements of the leaf itself.
"The poet-level relic [Eternal Youth Leaf], carried on the body for a long time, can drastically slow down the aging rate of the holder's body. If you get it in your twenties, your appearance will not be the same when you are fifty. There has been a big change. But it’s just in appearance, I’m actually getting older.
If you hold it in your mouth, even a seriously injured person can survive for a long time, but it is not as good as your [false immortality].
And if you chew it and eat it, you can fully recover as long as you have one breath left. Of course, this is very wasteful. ”
"Is this a relic? Isn't the father of the Infinite Tree too generous?"
Xia De held the leaf in surprise, while the cat stared at it eagerly.
"[Youth Leaves] is a very famous relic, with obvious effects and very low side effects. The only negative characteristic is that if it is held in the mouth for a long time, there is a chance that the user will take root and sprout, literally. The storage method is also very simple, just let it come into contact with water at least once a month to ensure the activity of the leaves. ”
Miss Louisa introduced that although Shade was still surprised, when he thought about it carefully, he was not too surprised. Professor Garcia said that the ancient **** [Father of the Infinite Tree] is the World Tree, and the leaves given by the World Tree, even if they are not the leaves of the World Tree itself, will never be mortal.
"[Youth Leaves], like [Time Key], are relics that are not unique in quantity. Although they have no combat effectiveness and the low danger level is not very useful, the price of this relic is even comparable to that of Xian. A level relic. I remember hearing from the professor that the Thirteenth Ring Warlock and Librarian of St. Byrons, the Red Moon Witch, had one on her body. I had never heard of the origin of this leaf, but I didn't expect it. It’s related to that ancient god.”
Miss Louisa said, glancing at the leaves in Shade's hand.
Shad nodded and introduced his newly acquired thaumaturgy to Miss Louisa. He doesn't need to learn, thaumaturgy has already been mastered.
Thumbology - [Blade of Disrupted Time], corresponding to the [Time and Space] spiritual rune. From the name of thaumaturgy, we know that its effect is extraordinary, and in fact it is.
Using thaumaturgy requires a spellcasting medium, which is any blade with extraordinary properties, including alchemical items, relics, and even swords made by thaumaturgy and incantation. Its effect can only work on intelligent beings that can perceive time. When using it to attack, at any time within three seconds after the attack, Shade can cause the same attack as three seconds ago to be based on the relative position of the attacked person. , attack again in the same way.
Confusing time is the time of the weapon itself.
In other words, if Shade took a ritually treated table knife and stabbed an apple hard. Then at the time selected by Shade within three seconds, the same knife will stab at the same position again.
What’s even better is that this thaumaturgy does not require actual damage to be caused to take effect. In other words, even if Shade's attack is blocked, this magical technique can still be triggered. The requirement for thaumaturgy to cast a spell is just to make an attack action.
