The Whispering Verses Chapter 2711: The remains of the World Tree
Chapter 2710 The Remains of the World Tree
"Judging from the order of clothing and memories, the one who was killed should be Theodore Bronte's wife."
Miss Bell said softly.
After killing his wife, the owner of the memory cast a spell to retain the soul of the sad woman, and took a carriage to the family cemetery, sending her to the "edge of life and death."
He did not follow, but stood alone in the empty cemetery and said to himself:
"This is all for your own good. Death is for rebirth. Sooner or later, I will let you all live and gain eternal life like me. What I have gained, don't leave it, whether it is my life or yours. Life.
Why does the curse of time require me to be exposed to high concentrations of the power of death on a regular basis? This will greatly deplete the life force I absorb, making my consumption even greater. So, is this time urging me to kill someone?
It turns out that if I want to gain a longer lifespan, I have to let others lose the lifespan they should have, so everyone's time is still conserved. Yes, that’s it! ”
The picture ended, and another series of incoherent pictures flashed by.
The witch sighed softly:
"He is indeed crazy."
At this point, the secret of Bronte’s initial contact with the tree hole, the discovery of the coffin’s contact with the “Mourner”, and the time curse he bears have all been revealed. Shade originally thought that there would be nothing important in the scattered scenes after that, but he didn't expect that the scene that flashed by quickly would freeze again, but this time the scene was quite weird.
"Is this a dream?"
The owner of the memory is walking through the dim forest at night, but the surrounding scenery is extremely unstable. Dynamic dark color blocks are constantly reorganizing at the edge of the field of vision, and the clearest part in the center of the picture also seems to be covered with a cloud. layer gray filter.
Bronte staggered as he walked, and the strange forest actually seemed to make way for him. Bronte in the dream probably didn't realize that he was dreaming, and just kept moving forward. Just when Shade was curious about what memorable things he had dreamed about, the road in the forest at night came to an end.
At the end of the road, as Bronte raised his head in the dream, there was a **** tree that seemed to connect the sky and the earth
"Moonlight Slash!"
The black branches protruding from the picture cling to the wall of Room 317, seemingly covering the entire ceiling and walls in just an instant. To Miss Bell, time seemed to be discontinuous, because the growth of those branches did not show a process.
The moonlight accurately hit the ritual matrix for reading soul memories, and even if the ritual was destroyed, it only interrupted the scene in Bronte's dream, but those dense branches still grew in the room.
The intermittent and incoherent time completely destroyed the stability of time in this room. In Miss Bell's eyes, everything around her became extremely strange because of the stop, speed, and slowdown of time. A heavy fog poured into the room, and the bodies of the witch and the red-haired girl became blurry at the same time.
"Damn, what is this?!"
"Meow!"
"Hold my hand!"
"Miss, you speak too fast and I can't hear you clearly!"
The chaotic room suddenly became a mess. The cat made threatening noises to the surroundings, and the small flames sprayed from its mouth actually slowed down the growth of those black branches.
But no one noticed it for the time being. Miss Bell had covered her head and squatted down in pain, while Shade reached out and held the hands of the two ladies at the same time, and then found that his hands began to become transparent. , fortunately, this is no longer his first time entering the Vista Grove:
"The way back in time! Come back to me!"
He pushed forward hard, and the two ladies staggered forward and their bodies became solid again. Shade also quickly summoned the [Staff of Yectrasil], and then slammed the long staff on the ground:
"The stability principle of ancient elves!"
After a thump~ sound, the emerald green light clashed with the surrounding dense fog. Because the memory picture of the black giant tree has disappeared, the power that destroyed the stability of time has no source. As Shade outputs his spirit with a slightly ferocious expression, the gray mist and those branches with claws and claws appear in the emerald green. The light keeps shrinking.
He held the middle part of the staff with both hands and was unable to let go, but still shouted for help:
"This won't work, give me my essence!"
The two ladies reached out to him at the same time, and their hands touched each other on Shade's chest. The witch subconsciously retracted, which caused the red-haired girl to take out the perfume bottle.
The cork was pulled out, Shade took a deep breath, and the glowing pink liquid gathered into a stream of water and entered his mouth. He has been using essence frequently recently, and now there is only a layer of liquid left at the bottom of the bottle. If it hadn't been for Margaret's "practice" this morning, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a drop left at this moment.
But at least these remaining essences still replenished enough spirit for him. With his eyes glowing slightly pink, the emerald green light emitted from the top of the long staff became stronger and stronger, squeezing the mist and those black branches. living space.
In the end, before Shade almost lost his strength, the fog and branches all disappeared into the void.
"Hu~hu~"
Shade panted and knelt down on one knee holding the staff. The cat meowed worriedly. Miss Danist quickly walked to the cloakroom to check the condition of the wardrobe she kept here. Miss Winslet He went to help his apprentice, but he also didn’t forget to ask Xia De:
"How are you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just let me take a few breaths. How is Miss Bell?"
Obviously even little Mia is fine, but the young witch apprentice was severely traumatized by the series of time anomalies just now. When she opened her eyes and woke up, she saw the three people in the room gathered around her.
She thought for a while in confusion before she remembered what had just happened. Her lips, which were wet because she was fed some holy water, wriggled a few times, and then she whispered:
"That big tree, miss, that **** tree that grew in Bronte's dream, that is an evil thing, that is the remains of ancient times, that is the source of the instability of time in the Vesta Woods , that is."
Her body twitched unnaturally. Miss Winslet wanted her to shut her mouth and rest first, but the increasingly pale witch apprentice still told the truth about what she saw when her spirit was almost crushed. :
"I saw an apparition of a great tree collapsing to its end in ancient times, and its debris splattering across the physical world. The debris of the tree, the debris of the tree, it was in the Vesta Glades. Yes, the debris of the tree , cursed to corrode the big tree"
Black dead branches grew from her mouth, but were immediately destroyed by the witch. Flora Winslet covered her mouth, and then used healing magic together with Shade and Miss Daniste.
The sun, silver moon, red moon and the power of nature enveloped her. The exhausted girl gradually fell into a deep sleep and her face calmed down.
Although the council failed to provide more help, at least the council supported enough potions and alchemy materials. They also gave Miss Bell a calming potion. After Shade confirmed that her condition was better, other The girl went upstairs and took Miss Bell to take care of her, but the witch's face became ugly:
"Is what Charlotte said true or false? The tree that York Bronte dreamed of."
"Will it be a teacher?"
The red-haired girl immediately asked Shade, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"Of course not, Miss Bell said it was a remnant of ancient times. And Ms. Carter's death was not even half a century ago, and it is unlikely that it will continue to affect Brookwood Town and Vista Grove."
He motioned to the two nervous ladies to relax and pulled them to sit down:
"What I'm actually more curious about is, why did Bronte dream about this?"
With that said, the three of them went to look at the soul core that had been recovered by Shade. The frozen soul was originally pure white, but now it was stained with dark lines. The witch has concluded that it can no longer be viewed. Memories:
"If Charlotte hadn't gone crazy just now, then in addition to an unknown number of Paradox Bugs, there are actually the remains of the World Tree in the Vesta Grove? No, I feel scared just thinking about this possibility."
She pursed her lips and was quite worried, but Shade didn't feel much surprise. Now that it is known that the material of [Yggdrasil's Staff] is the dead World Tree, then Luvia in the past life must have come into contact with the remains of the World Tree.
And if there is one chosen person among the thirteen who is most likely to have wreckage in his story, then it must be now.
"But if it is really the remains of the World Tree, what happened just now?"
The red-haired girl asked in confusion:
"We don't even see the body directly, but through the memory of the soul, to see what appeared in his dream. I just saw an outline of the black tree, and I still feel very mentally ill until now. I saw I didn’t feel this way when I was a Paradox Bug.”
"If it is really the remains of the so-called World Tree, then that fragment probably turned into an evil thing in an unknown ancient era."
This is worse than Shade thought. He originally thought that the final opponent this time would be something like the "Paradox Insect King", or a monster whose body and soul have been completely mutated due to frequent time travel. .
The three of them were silent, each thinking about different things. Finally, Miss Winslet was the first to say:
"No matter what is in the Vesta Grove, at least this time, we seem to have found the source of the local anomaly. The scourge of time first arose here and has been explained.
And we will face what comes next together, right? I now understand why no matter the Five Gods Church, the three major colleges or our parliament, they were very careful not to send large troops directly to the local area.
I guess, even if they don't know about the tree, they should have their own guesses. ”
