Chapter 3029: Great Desire
The light of [Ocarina of Time] rushed straight into the black sky in the hands of the two elf girls. Shade seemed to hear faintly the roar of a dragon from the void, and then a green thunder struck down, directly hitting the emerald green swords in the hands of the elf girls.
Then the sword light that almost broke the whole world grew longer and bigger, until it finally slashed forward, and the light melted away the darkness. Even though those tiny whispers and loud curses begged for mercy, the sword light still could not stop melting away all the curses and resentment that had been entrenched here for thousands of years.
The "Sword of Light" reappeared in front of Shade for the first time since the battle of Moon Bay. Emilia and Emilia continued to chop down the huge light in the air. Then, amidst the tiny crackling sounds, the time that had been frozen here finally continued to move forward in the flowing light.
The flow of light drove the flow of time, and the light of the ancient dragon god finally broke through the motionless time and space. Then the night curtain opened above his head, and the shadows of the stars and the moon were projected from the real world onto Shade's head.
As the lightsabers in the elves' hands dissipated, the light from the swords drifted towards the thousands of homes at the moment. Then, lights lit up from every window in the city, until finally, the city of Vesta seemed to have entered a peaceful night like usual.
But the Accordion Hotel behind Shade never lit up.
“So, the way you said to make frozen time flow again is to let Emilia find you?”
After the big elf landed again with the panting little elf in his arms, Shade walked towards them and asked.
After using the Words of Sublimation, the elf took the risk of using the "Sword of Light". Her face was as pale as paper, but she still had a smile of relief on her face. As for the forest elf who was a head taller than her, he did not look like anything was wrong.
She was wearing the same skirt and armor as Emilia, and even had the same hairstyle. If Emilia hadn't been about to faint, Shade believed that even she would understand who the elf in the forest was.
"Yes, but you see this method is very effective and the simplest, isn't it? Otherwise, how do you think she could master the power to influence the time flow inside the World Tree in just one day?"
The elf girl smiled and supported Emilia herself without letting Shade lend a hand:
"Now the time here has started to synchronize with the real world. The fighting outside should have lasted for quite some time after we left. My mission with her has come to an end for now. It's up to you from now on."
"On me? Wait, this isn't considered a failure for Thomas Bennett?"
Xia De immediately pulled up Emilia's right hand, and found that the leaf pattern on the back of her right hand had not changed.
The blond elf smiled and said:
"Shad, don't pretend to be surprised here. Even if you are not surprised, it will not cause a time paradox. As a participant in the Time War, Thomas Bennett has never used the power from the past until now, and has not called on the helpers he called from the past. It's time to start."
As she said this, she hugged Emilia and hid behind Shade, who then put away his fake surprised expression and looked up at the night sky. The shadows of the stars and the moon flickered overhead, and snowflakes were falling.
Only an elf would think that this was a reflection of the current weather in the real world. When the first snowflake fell on Shad's palm, he found that the snowflake was pink.
"What is this?"
Emilia asked softly in the warm embrace, and Shade put the snowflakes in front of his nose and sniffed them gently before they melted. The intoxicating scent reminded Shade of Luvia's perfume, the scent of high-quality wood burning in the fireplace in winter, the smell of brand new stationery, and the smell of clean bedding washed by the maids.
He was somewhat glad that what was supposed to come had finally come, and then he looked into the distance with a serious expression amidst the pink snow:
"Although I knew this a long time ago, I still have to sigh now - does he really have such courage?"
After the resentment aggregate dissipated, Thomas Bennett's body fell towards the direction of the Golden Music Hall. When Shade and the two elf girls arrived there, the innkeeper was lying on the four-leaf clover petal square to the north of the music hall. Behind him were the steps leading to the northern gate of the music hall. Although the lights were on in the whole city, the music hall, which should be brightly lit, was like the Accordion Hotel, without a single light.
Thomas Bennett was soaked as if he had just crawled out of the sea. He barely raised his head when he heard footsteps. When he saw that it was Shade and the other two, he held onto the ground and tried to sit up:
"Long time no see. Although I thought it would get this far, I didn't expect it to fail like this in the end."
Shade looked at the parchment in his hand:
"You look like you just came from far away. What on earth do you want to do?"
He took the initiative to block the two elf girls, and the big elf girl was also very sensible and continued to hold Emilia and hide behind him.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Thomas Bennett, who was sitting in the snow, smiled at him awkwardly:
"You probably already know a lot about my life story. When I was young, I heard the story of the transfer station from my father. I was very much looking forward to such a great responsibility. But the more I take on this job, the more I feel that our entire family, from the first ancestor to my daughters, are just pawns in the hands of the ancients.
It's not even right to say we are pawns. We are just tools that can be used over and over again. I have thought about many things over the years. I want freedom, I want my wife not to die so early, and I want my daughters and their children not to have to accept this fate. "
He laughed dryly again:
"But you see, in the end I still ended up like this. I can feel that you and the ancient one are the real chess players, and I am just the most insignificant pebble on the chessboard that has lost its usefulness and has to ignite myself one last time to test you."
"So, you want to seek help from other beings for your freedom? As an adult, you should understand the consequences of this stupid act of trying to get rid of the tiger and then finding the leopard again."
Thomas Bennet closed his eyes:
"It was Linda who gave me hope. She let me know that there are other ancients outside these woods. I know you think I am foolish for doing this, but I do not have your power. The shackles of fate were entangled with me before I was born. My wife, my daughter, my everything."
He took a deep breath and shouted:
"I agree to your contract, please show yourself."
The wind blew through the heavy snow, and at this moment there seemed to be a refreshing fragrance in the wind:
"Do you really agree?"
A sweet female voice with a smile that did not belong to anyone present sounded behind Thomas Bennet. The two elf girls behind Shad immediately hugged each other, and Shad looked up at the darkness in the door of the music hall above the stairs.
Pink snowflakes were falling under the starry sky in a city that was dead silent despite the lights. Even though Xia De was prepared for the familiar voice, it still made his back shiver:
"Your daughter, Linda Bennett, left something at home. You used it as a time travel beacon? You went to see it?"
Shade asked word by word, his eyes still fixed on the darkness behind the door. But he knew very well that the thing called by Bennett definitely did not come directly from the past to the present. The rules of the Time War did not even allow demigods to appear as assistants, and certainly would not allow such a powerful being to travel through time.
Otherwise, Xia De couldn't even imagine the time paradox that would be caused.
Linda Bennett came into contact with the "Mermaid" and used the power of the mermaid to drug the dead apostle Bronte. Now, the "Mermaid", who seemed to have not participated in the big events here, showed her smile to Shade again.
But even if the "mermaid" didn't really come here, Shad could still feel that pair of eyes looking directly at him across time and space. The pink snow was the evidence that its power was enough to transcend time and affect the present, and Thomas Bennett, holding the contract, was the bridge between the past and the present.
The intoxicating laughter continued to echo softly in the snow, like a charming girl laughing at her reunion with her lover.
"Yes, I agree to the contract."
Thomas Bennet nodded very affirmatively, and then in the darkness behind him, purple eyes opened through the open door of the concert hall, smiling at the scene on the square. The eyes moved outward little by little until half of an extremely clear face appeared from the side of the door frame.
Under the gaze of those eyes, no matter Thomas Bennet, Shad, or the elves who had their backs to it, all had inappropriate thoughts in their minds at very inappropriate times.
But only Shade knew that the eyes that seemed to be looking at everyone at this moment were actually just looking at him. Strictly speaking, he could completely stop what was going to happen next. The power of desire had not yet fully reached this point, but he did nothing. He just listened to Thomas Bennett saying in the snow:
"I offer you this sacrifice, madam. Thomas Bruce Bennett, on the sixth day of the month of Frostfall, 1854, to you, to the first desire of the world, to the ancient of desires, to the source of all desires of wise beings, I offer all that I have. Yes, all, including my life and soul, only to your favor.
I want enough power to defeat all enemies, and I want to leave a rich fortune to my three daughters, so that they can reverse the current decadent situation of the Bennet family after I leave. "
Then the half of the beautiful woman's face in the door licked her lips with her slender tongue and answered in a very gentle and considerate voice:
"Everything you have, including your three daughters."
