The Whispering Verses Chapter 2584: An unexpected surprise
Chapter 2583 An unexpected surprise
The "Friendship Oak" is a gift given to friends by the hermits of the Hermits in the Forest. Anyone can use it to get in touch with the hermits. Of course Shade didn't have this, it was Miss Danister who brought it out, so he avoided the question:
"I want you to take a look at this."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden holy symbol from his pocket, with a white oak symbol on it. This is the holy symbol of the old **** [White Holy Tree]. It is one of the two items Shade found from the hidden space under the tree hole. The other is an elf-style lantern.
"Holy Emblem?!"
Mr. Van Buren, who was originally curious about the origins of the two men, was startled, and then looked at Shade in surprise:
"This is Mr. Oak's holy symbol! Where did you get this from?"
"I was walking in the forest a few days ago and found it in a tree hole in the forest."
This is not a lie:
"Return to the original owner, this should belong to you."
As he spoke, he handed the Holy Emblem to the hermit across the table. The latter was even more surprised. After reacting, he hurriedly wiped his hands on his robe, and then respectfully took the Holy Emblem. He briefly inspected the holy symbol, then held it and whispered a prayer.
As the sentence "The sacred tree is always there, luck is always there" was recited, the holy symbol emitted a faint light. At this time, even the red-haired girl next to Shade glanced at Shade in surprise. This holy emblem was not an ordinary prayer badge. It was enchanted with at least two divine spells.
"Mr. John Watson, you are our friend."
The hermit monk stood up holding the Holy Emblem and said respectfully, while Shade smiled and shook his head:
"Please don't be so polite. I have a friend who is a friend of yours. I am also honored to be a friend of the hermits. Please sit down and let's continue talking. In fact, this time I have only returned this coin. Holy Emblem, we still want to ask for help."
As he spoke, he smiled at Miss Danister beside him, who tapped Shade's leg with her left index finger under the table to tell him not to be so proud.
Shad did not immediately talk about "time travel". The [Forest Hermits] live in the Vista Woodland. They may have known about the local time anomaly for a long time, and they may have even come into contact with or used tree holes. the power of.
Shad had discussed it with Miss Danister before coming here, and he could not reveal his purpose directly to the Hermits:
"My companions and I just came from out of town. We just wanted to attend the Moondance Festival concert, but we encountered some bad things locally. Is there any illegal ring magician in Vista City? Is the group entrenched for a long time? ”
He asked, and Mr. Van Buren, the hermit who sat down again, immediately shook his head:
"Vista City is a small city, at least there are no large-scale illegal ring magician groups in the urban area. But because of the ancient ruins in the forest, large and small groups of foreign ring magicians come here every year to try to discover ancient secrets. But there is really no one who has been here for a long time.”
After all, Vista City is too close to the royal capital of Willendale, and the church will not allow organizations like [Dragon Feast Order] and [Mercury Blood] to exist.
"Excuse me, what have you encountered? Although we are not many in number, we still have some influence in the local area and can help solve troublesome problems."
Xia De shook his head:
"The trouble has been solved by me, but the lady next to me was a little frightened. The three people we met all used the power of time. I think this is not something that ordinary ring magician organizations can cultivate."
The hermit frowned and was about to say something when he saw the tavern owner coming over with the lunch ordered by Shade.
Shad meant to chat while eating, but Mr. Bell Van Buren refused the food.
After the tavern owner left, he continued:
"I don't know what you encountered. I can take this news back, and maybe others know something. Although our number is small, we are fairly well-informed."
Miss Danister on the side tapped Shade twice again with her finger painted with red nail polish, which was the agreed meaning of "not lying".
In other words, the [Forest Hermit Group] has not yet realized the arrival of the [Tree Hole Association].
"Besides this little trouble, there is another thing I need to ask you about."
Xia De asked embarrassedly:
"Since the Hermit Group has been active in this area all year round, if we want to find a ring warlock from a hundred years ago, can you provide information?"
"I can go back and look for information, what are you looking for"
He asked curiously, and Shade said:
"The astrologer Euclid was active in Ximu Town a hundred years ago, but the specific time of his visit and stay are unknown."
Mr. Van Buren then took out a notebook from his robe and wrote down the name:
"Is the other party a member of the [Prophet Association]?"
Xia De shook his head:
"Definitely not, I have already investigated this. I have a handwritten letter he left elsewhere. As far as I know, he came to Ximu Town to find the legendary 'Time Tree Cave' '."
This is nonsense. He and Miss Denister had no idea what the astrologers were doing in the area back then. They mentioned astrologers just to use them as a springboard to create new topics in a reasonable way. That’s all.
But when he said this, he deliberately frowned, and then nodded to the eighteen-year-old girl next to him, who explained on his behalf:
“There are traces of the ‘Tree Cave of Time’ in many ancient stories. It is said that this is a passage left by the ancient gods in the material world to connect different points in time.
Of course, we are not here for this rumor, but the astrologer has a sage-level relic that is very important to me. The relic is related to the moon. We suspect that the relic is in Ximu Town. ”
This is the [Source of Chaos], but Miss Daniste is not sure whether Mr. Euclid went to Tobesk first or to Ximu Town first.
As she spoke, she carefully observed the hermit's expression, but the latter just listened to her attentively:
"You have returned the Holy Emblem, and you are our friend. I will ask the Hermits to help you investigate later. In fact, there are not many sage-level relics in the local area, and the few well-known relics are related to music. . As for the Time Tree Cave, I have only heard similar rumors, and I always thought it was just a legend."
He thought about it carefully:
"There is probably not much news related to this in the city now, but in the days of Ximu Town, local rumors of 'time travel' did circulate. I was not born at that time, and the relevant records in our hands were only Folk tales and country legends
But can the astrologer Euclid wait for me here for an hour or two? I remembered hearing this name somewhere, so I went back and looked up some information. ”
Shad nodded in surprise, saying the name "Euclide" was originally just to cover up the real purpose, but he didn't expect that there was actually a clue:
"Of course. Then my companion and I will have lunch here and wait for you. See you later."
The hermit took away the Holy Emblem. After confirming that he opened the door and left the tavern, Miss Danister asked Xiang Shade:
"Is this why you said you have the confidence to communicate with them without having to have an academy background? Where did you get that holy emblem? If I read it correctly, it is not an ordinary holy emblem."
"Yes, the miracle element is not weak, and there are probably one or two magical spells attached to it, but I don't know how to use it."
The two sat on the same side of the table, Shade against the wall and Miss Danist against the aisle. Originally, it was because she wanted to talk to the hermit across the table, but now that the hermit has left, Miss Danister has no intention of moving to sit across from her.
"But I did pick up that Holy Emblem from the forest. This is the truth."
He emphasized, and the eighteen-year-old sorceress asked with a smile:
"Is this the only truth just now?"
As he asked, he watched Shade tear up the bread and sprinkle it into the mushroom soup:
"Those things you just said seem to be true if you think about it carefully, but they don't feel right when combined. If I didn't know the details, I might not be able to get the answer I want even if I try to divine the truth.
So, this is the technique you use when conducting investigations and tracking everywhere? ”
"At least it works."
Shad did not argue the truth or lies, but pushed the mushroom soup soaked in bread to Miss Denister, and then continued to tear the bread for himself:
"Euclide, Euclid, I didn't expect there to be any clues. But did the hermit lie just now?"
"No, but when you mentioned the 'Time Tree Cave', his expression was obviously not right. He definitely knows something related to this."
The sorceress who is very good at identifying whether others are lying said, reaching out to Shade:
"Salt."
Shad took out the salt shaker from his pocket and handed it to her:
"[The Hermits in the Forest] are entrenched in the Vista Woodland. They have also existed since the time of Ximu Town. Since ordinary people in the town can use the power of tree holes, then the largest local ring warlock It is impossible for the group to know nothing. The [Hermit Group in the Forest] may know the tree hole, and may even master the tree hole.
Want some caviar? This is caviar specially provided by the royal family. It will be delicious spread on bread. ”
The eighteen-year-old girl nodded, and then told Shade that the green leaves on the barbecue steak plate were rosemary and sage, which are very common spices. As she spoke, she helped Shade cut the steak, and proudly told Shade about his sage seasoning skills.
You cannot see this girlish expression on the adult Miss Daniste. The regression of age has brought her more than just a youthful appearance.
When Shade carefully reminded her about the change in mentality, the red-haired girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled at Shade and said:
"Actually, I feel it myself, but there's nothing wrong with it, right?"
