Chapter 2990: The Tree of Thousand Corpses
"Swear to the moon? Does it have to be so serious?"
The black-haired sorceress raised her eyebrows at Shade, but when she saw that Shade was really so serious, she nodded slightly:
"Okay, but you have to answer me a question first: If it's really so dangerous, why did you bring me here? If you didn't bring me here, I wouldn't know about this old professor, and I wouldn't be able to hear your conversation."
"Because this matter should not be hidden from you."
Shad replied:
"I'm not worried that you know my plan. I just want you to know that I won't be content to find the tree your body turned into with Miss Danister more than 30 years later, and then burn the tree with the cat and Miss Danister crying."
"All men are mortal."
"Yes, but I need your help, Helena Carter."
It was very rude to call someone by their name directly, and this was the first time Shade did this. He stared at the black-haired sorceress standing under the umbrella with him in the rain, and said slowly but firmly:
"I need you to help me in the future. I need you to stand by Miss Danister and me in the future and fight against the inevitable end with us. I don't care what you think. Maybe what I say now is strange, but ma'am, whether you will open your eyes again in the future is not decided by you, but by me.
After all, you yourself said that you should have passed away by then."
The 13th Ring Sorceress had experienced far more stories than the young outsider, and more than one person had spoken to her in a tougher and more hostile tone. She did not compromise at all because of what Shade said, and squinted her eyes and looked at him under the umbrella.
After three full minutes, she whispered:
"I swear to the moon that I will not take the initiative to look for this old professor today in any way. But Shad Hamilton, do you really want me to be active again in the future just because I am a thirteen-ring warlock?"
"Of course it's also for Miss Danister. You still owe her an answer. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Then the sorceress laughed, and the curved look in her eyes was definitely not fake:
"Watching young people like you explain yourself clumsily is why I insist on being a teacher in the academy."
Xia De didn't know what she saw in his mind, so he took the initiative to ask:
"So if I do follow my plan and not change the past but work on the future. When you actually open your eyes and see us, will you blame me for letting you reappear?"
"will not."
"Then can you imagine at this moment how you will feel when you see Miss Danister and I?"
Shade then asked, and the black-haired sorceress patted Shade's shoulder with her free right hand:
"Is your desire for revenge so strong?"
As he spoke, he held Xia De's hand and continued to walk forward with him. The sound of their conversation was gradually drowned out by the sound of rain:
"Has the situation in your time really become so critical that even Danister can't handle it?"
"Even if she lifts the curse now, it's not enough. Speaking of which, a small incident happened recently: the first librarian of Saint Byrons traveled through time from the Fifth Age to our era."
"Oh?"
She turned to Shade and winked:
"When you leave later, I'll go with you to 1854."
"?"
It wasn't that Shade had misheard, nor was it that Ms. Carter was joking with Shade. After Shade confirmed it several times, he finally confirmed on the carriage out of the city that the lady really intended to go to the future again.
"Didn't I tell you before that, although I had passed away in your time, I intended to help you in your final battle in Vista Glades?"
The sorceress asked:
"So I have already figured out how to travel through time again. In order to prevent the birth of new paradox bugs, the tree hole I used before cannot be used again. But after all, I have been to the future once, and you are a special existence who can carry information from different time and space.
Based on these premises, and some of my gains in the Vesta Forest, I created a summoning method similar to the projection state. Of course, this method also requires you to find a relic that has the function of "summoning people from the past" in your era to cooperate with it. "
"The Angel-level Relic [Poetry Cards] should be okay, right?"
This is a relic obtained from Laplace Howard during the Green Lake incident. Shade originally planned to use this relic to contact Miss Feliana, but because of the parliamentary venue and Miss Isabella's hair as a marker, he mistakenly made his first contact with Adele in the past life.
Now that the relic is kept by the [Witch Council], it is quite easy to borrow it.
"Of course, you have this relic in your hands? We need to test whether this method is effective or not. We can't wait until we really need me to try it. So, why not today?"
"You also want to meet Miss Olanord?"
Xia De had just briefly introduced the witch of the Fifth Age, so the current librarian also had a preliminary understanding of her:
"I'm just curious. Opportunities like this don't come around often."
"So you agreed to see Miss Danister for this?"
"Wait a minute, just because I want to go to your time doesn't mean I want to meet Danister."
She smiled and gave this inequality, then held her face up and looked out the car window at the rainy scene in the evening. The city in midsummer turned gray in the rain. Of course, Shade would not object to the sorceress's sudden idea. Since Helena Carter's ending was already determined, Shade would certainly fulfill some of her wishes.
If it is just a projection summoning with the help of the power of the relic, then it will not have much impact on the stability of time. Once Ms. Helena Carter really appears in 1854, then strictly speaking, she does not have the final say on who she wants to see or not.
Although Xia De did not intend to go against the lady's own ideas, sometimes accidents always happen unexpectedly.
The carriage took the two people to a small road outside the city in the rain. The coachman was very curious about what this man and woman wanted to do in the forest at dusk, so he advised them not to spend the night in the woods.
Then the thirteen-ring sorceress flew over the forest with Shad, who had transformed into a silver cat, in her arms. The stranger sadly discovered that his resistance to turning into a cat was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning.
He was very familiar with the location given by Professor Yuk Wood, so under his guidance, the two of them reached their destination deep in the woods in just twenty minutes:
"Land now. If we fly directly over that area, we won't be able to see anything. We have to walk along the path to actually get there."
So when the black-haired sorceress's boots touched the ground, she discovered that in such a deep forest there was actually a clear path, just as Shade had said.
The cat jumped out of her arms and turned into a human form. The two walked forward along the path for more than twenty steps, and after pushing aside the lush grass that grew in summer, they saw the open space.
The circular open space is larger than St. Teresa's Square. Opposite the open space are five huge thrones that seem to be prepared for giants. The throne in the center is the tallest.
Behind the throne, the tallest trees the two had ever seen in the woods seemed to be inserted directly into the rain clouds.
As the raindrops fell from the gaps in the tree canopy, the "corpses" hanging under the tree canopy by the necks tied by vines were swaying in the wind blowing through the forest.
The number of "corpses" was so huge and the tree canopy was so huge that it looked like thousands of people were hanged under the giant tree at the same time.
"No, those are not corpses, those people are still alive."
The black-haired lady reminded Shade softly, but the people hanging under the tree were basically no different from being dead. Although their souls still existed and their bodies were sustained by the vitality of the tree, they closed their eyes and did not even breathe. Shade's "Heart of Stone" could not even hear the heartbeat of anyone hanging under the tree.
Thirty years later, there was no such "scenery" here, so Xia De wanted to get closer to see what the "corpses" were like. But suddenly, the lady next to him reached out to support him, and when he turned around, he saw Ms. Carter holding her chest with her left hand, breathing heavily with a very uncomfortable expression.
Blue veins bulged on her fair forehead, and when she touched Xia De, Xia De clearly felt that the spirit in her body was being suppressed, and her overall sense of strength was declining.
"What's going on here?"
He immediately helped the sorceress back from the clearing to the path, and Ms. Carter's symptoms were immediately relieved.
She took a few deep breaths to calm the flow of her spirit that had returned to normal after its dormant state, and then cast the water repellent spell that had just been interrupted:
"Let's move a little further away and talk under that tree over there."
She didn't let Shade waste gold to summon the camp. She came to the big tree beside the path and leaned against it. The rain had soaked her clothes just now, so Shade stretched out his hand to summon fire to dry them for her. The sorceress took off the beige sun hat and held it in her arms:
"I roughly understand the situation here, and I also know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."
She turned to look at Shade who was controlling the flames:
“All the people hanging on that tree are time cursed people like me, and that tree is absorbing their time curses.
The vines hanging around their necks come from the tree itself. After a long process, the tree will suck out the time curse in those people's bodies. The corpses that fall to the ground will probably be the nutrients for this area."
