The Whispering Verses Chapter 2612: The “Druids” in the snow forest
Chapter 2611 The "Druids" in the Snow Forest
Hearing "her" reminder, Shade's right hand quickly cut off a piece of the Baron's flesh, letting the blood pass through his transparent body and spill on the table. He released his hand to prevent himself from being cursed, and watched as the Baron disappeared completely before his eyes.
"Her" voice still continues:
[The curse of time will come to you in the form of "the time key will be disabled for a week". 】
[Outlander, you noticed the content of the opponent's time curse in the narrow space of time: you cannot touch metal with a gold content of more than 95%, and you will die if you touch it. 】
"Let him run away!"
The white mouse in the pocket said, Shade shook his head:
"He can't run away, I'm going to find him right now. Also, I know the characteristics of his time curse."
He briefly explained, and Miss Mouse sighed:
"It seems that the time curse is indeed fair. Although he is completely in his normal state as long as he pays attention to it, he will have to be wary of gold for the rest of his life. How are you going to find him? Use the tree hole here?"
Miss Winslet did not stop Shade:
"He just traveled through time without doing anything. You must be careful, this person is weird."
"Do I know you want to go with me?"
Xia De suddenly asked, and the witch was confused:
"Can I? I mean, even though your cat proved the feasibility last time, I thought you would exclude me from the adventure."
Xia De smiled:
"Since we are here, let's go together. But before going to find the increasingly interesting Baron, isn't it more important to see this first?"
He pointed to the box on the table that Baron Cumming dug out from outside the city. It was a metal box. According to Miss Bell, the box was covered with waterproof tarpaulin when it was dug out, so the degree of rust was not very high. .
The box itself did not have a lock. After a brief inspection, Shade reached out and opened it. Inside the metal box was actually a wooden box. After opening the wooden box again, there was a glass bottle embedded inside, and the bottle contained bright green potion.
"What is this?"
Of course Shade would not open a bottle of unknown potion carelessly, and Miss Winslet certainly could not identify what it was just by the color of the potion. She does not have the wisdom of the knowledgeable witch Megan/Audrey, and she is not old enough for her to accumulate experience like Granny Cassandra:
"Catch up first, the Baron obviously knows more than us."
"Opening the Door to the Forest: Our Animal Companions" was still in the drawer of James Cumming's room. After Shade found the book, he was ready to set off:
"May the World Tree protect us in infinite time."
Click~
The key was inserted into the door painted on the book cover——
[Outlander, you have opened a "twisted tree hole". 】
[Tips from the Father of the Infinite Tree:]
[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1802, the sixth era of the present world. 】
[Note, except for you, any life that uses this channel will be cursed by time. 】
[Note that you can enter the past 40 minutes through the abnormal channel here, and you must return through this channel after the time is over. 】
[Note that after using the key to open the door here twice, the passage will completely collapse. 】
Because the twenty minutes of defeating the "Paradox Worm" last time were extended to forty minutes, after confirming this information, Shade clenched the mouse doll in his hand, and then "pull" the book cover outward. door.
The scene in the room of a noble youth in 1854 was quickly replaced by the scene in a strange girl's boudoir in the classical era, but Shade, who was ready to cast a spell to stop time, did not see anyone in the room.
When the picture in front of him was completely stable, he immediately looked at the clean desk next to him. With a movement of his fingers, all the unlocked drawers were opened, so Shade reached out and opened the locked drawer, and then saw "Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" that belonged to this era.
"It's really here."
The mouse doll she held in her right hand was quickly transformed back into a real mouse and then into an owl. She was careful not to return to human form:
"I don't feel that my curse has deepened. It seems that this method of smuggling is indeed feasible. Your transformation is not just a transformation."
She said this, fluttering her wings and coming to the window sill to look outside:
"In 1802, Ximu Town was still Ximu Town. Is there a way to find Baron Cumming? Or I can find a way."
"Of course there is a way."
Shad stuffed the book into his pocket, and then took out the blood of Baron Cumming that he had just collected:
"Echo of blood!"
The Echo of Blood can see the "echo" left by the blood owner within 24 hours, but this requires Shade to know where the other party has been.
Actually, Shade is not sure whether Baron Cumming arrived at the same time as himself in 1802, but the town of Ximu in this era was not big. Shade's idea was to know the answer by flying around the town. .
In fact, he didn't need to do this at all, because the **** afterimage had already appeared in the space as soon as the thaumaturgy was activated.
s??????.???
"I saw it. It's interesting. I couldn't see the Baron entering the door, only his leaving. He appeared directly here."
"Follow me, I'll take you flying."
"Miss Owl" said while looking outside. The time at this time was the newborn moon of 1802, and outside was a small town covered in silver.
The owl is flying high in the sky with the cat, and the cat has the clerical relic [Eye of the Crow], one of the "Seven Rings of Mia", strung on its tail. Even at high altitude, the cat can clearly see the string on the ground. red shadow.
Obviously Baron Cumming arrived at this point less than half an hour before the two of them, but the owl did not even see Baron Cumming until it chased them out of the town.
So the two of them could only continue to go deeper into the forest. Fortunately, the owl flew very fast. At the eleventh minute after arriving in this time and space, they finally saw the figure kneeling in the snow in a small clearing in the forest. Baron Cumming.
The wound on his shoulder has been simply bandaged, but autumn clothing is obviously inappropriate in this midwinter season. He shivered and knelt in the snow, his head and shoulders already covered with snow but still motionless.
The shadows of an owl flying overhead brushed past him, and then the silver cat fell from the sky, only to change into a human form before falling into the snow.
The shoes sank into the snow. Shade stood by the clearing and looked at the kneeling Baron. He raised his hand and stroked the owl that fell on his shoulder in the air. He shook his head in disappointment:
"If you just let this gentleman act as bait, isn't the trap a little too obvious?"
Seeing that there was still no reaction around him after he finished speaking, the owl flapped its wings violently, and the howling wind passed through the winter forest. The wind blew away the snow in the clearing, revealing the ceremonial base array centered on Baron Cumming.
It was only then that the sound of boots crushing the snow appeared from the surroundings, and six ring warlocks in robes came out of their hiding place in the forest.
They are all dressed in the same way. The monotonous linen robes and cloth shoes that do not look warm are also incompatible with this season. The highest level among them is the tenth level, the remaining five are in the lower level of the fourth level, and the rest are in the middle level.
Seeing their attire, Xia De was about to speak, but all six people quickly started to move. Everyone's hand touched the snow-covered tree next to them, and as the green light in the forest enveloped them, except for the low-level warlock, the other five people all transformed into animals.
A gray brown bear, a huge tiger, an eagle with wings spread probably larger than Shade's height, and a coiled patterned python.
The transformation of the high-ring warlock is a huge alien creature "Owlbear" with "the head of an owl" and the body of a bear. It is definitely not as simple as ten rings at this time.
The undeformed low-level warlock was a woman with short hair. She led Baron Cumming, who was shivering from the cold, to retreat, while five animals surrounded Shade in the snow.
They can still summon life rings in their animal form. At this time, various amplification magic techniques are shared and spread with each other. In addition, the forest itself seems to be able to enhance them. The animals transformed by the five of them look obviously very powerful. .
Shadow has never exposed any thaumaturgy with obvious traces of the "god caller" in front of Miss Winslet, so naturally he will not summon the moonlight sword at this time.
As soon as he raised his hand, a blazing fireball appeared in his hand. But then he changed his mind and held his palm to extinguish the flames. He took a deep breath and used the magic power of the red dragon.
Xia De originally thought that after absorbing the divinity of the "Dragon Devouring Demon", this spell would be sublimated into thaumaturgy, but in fact it did not. However, after Sister Devlin experienced the "violence" of the first fire some time ago, the flame she shared with Shade caused new changes in the spell.
With the use of the spell, his sudden rise in body temperature caused the owl on his shoulder to turn its head to look at him.
The originally silent first fire seemed to ignite the blood all over the body. Although the skin only turned slightly red, the body temperature that increased with the increase in strength not only made "Miss Owl"'s whole body tremble like a sieve, but also made those five A ring warlock who used the transformation technique instinctively felt the danger.
The phantom of the red dragon flashed behind Shade, and the rise in body temperature even melted the snow under his feet. So the three-meter-tall owlbear transformed by the high-level warlock came to Shade first. Seeing that Shade did not intend to use thaumaturgy, it did not use thaumaturgy either.
The two collided purely with their bodies. Shade punched out with a sonic boom that sounded like a bomb exploding. Then there was a crash like a dragon's roar, and the snow-white owlbear flew out like a cannonball.
Even after experiencing such an explosion of power, "Miss Owl" standing on Shade's shoulders did not feel his body shaking under the collision of power. Being able to achieve such an exaggerated and overwhelming power advantage is not only because of his own strength, the power of the earth and the power of the red dragon, but also because it is winter at the moment.
Winter blesses strangers.
