Chapter 1430: The Road of Night

Although the history of the Sixth Era recorded that Fiona Drago was the second principal of St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy, which meant that Miss Felianna and Miss Orlanod would likely save her. But it was also possible that it was to commemorate Fiona's sacrifice in exchange for the school's territory, and other witches inherited her name.

What's more, Xia De had promised Fiona that he would bring her out. Having gone through so many adventures and walked such a long road with Fiona, since he had given his promise, he must fulfill it:

"Hold on to me!"

He was ready. In the last thirty seconds, he would have a head-on confrontation with the 【God of Night】, who had descended in an unknown form, and then take Fiona away from here. He didn't need to win; as long as he left the 【City of Eternal Night】, it was a victory. He didn't believe that without a god-descent ritual, the power of the God of Night could spread outside the City of Eternal Night.

Xia De didn't worry that he wouldn't be able to defeat the god in front of him in the god-descent state. His god-descent form was close to the "Moon God," and he didn't worry about being restrained by the "Night God" at all, and he might even be immune to certain attacks from the other side.

However, after "She" laughed softly in his ear, Xia De didn't hear the sentence "You are me": 【Time to go.】

"What? No, the time hasn't come yet, I haven't..."

In an instant, thick white fog surged from all around, completely surrounding Xia De in the blink of an eye.

By the time he came to his senses, he was already in the 【Corridor of Time】 filled with white fog. In front of him was a transparent giant tree that seemed to support the world. The years were engraved on the trunk of the giant tree, and every leaf recorded the story of time.

One of the leaves was spinning and drifting downward. Whenever he saw this giant tree representing the shadow of the Ancient God 【Father of the Infinite Tree】, Xia De was melancholy or sad. At this moment, however, he felt his whole body was cold, and his heart seemed to stop beating:

"What's going on? Didn't I have at least twenty seconds left?"

The leaf representing the 【Night】 spiritual rune drifted down slowly. Xia De didn't reach out his hand. The cat on his chest, which had been woken up by Xia De's "shouting," squeezed out its little head and also looked at the illusory giant tree.

The shadow of time was reflected into the cat's amber eyes. The cat meowed suspiciously and stretched out its front paws, trying to catch the leaf that was about to fall.

【Reminder from the Father of the Infinite Tree:】

【You cannot directly use the power of divinity in past time. Ripples in the long river of time can be ignored, but the earth wall standing across the river channel will have a huge impact on the world.】

"So, I was forced to end this adventure early because I wanted to use divinity? But what about Fiona? Did I leave her alone in the City of Eternal Night?"

Xia De asked incredulously, catching the leaf before Mia. Hearing the meow~ sound, he realized that this cat had also traveled through time with him without turning into a toy.

【It is not a creature of that era, so it was also kicked out.】

"She" explained softly, but Xia De, who was worried about Fiona's safety, had no time to consider the cat, which was very safe now. "But what about Fiona? I can't leave her there!"

He looked blankly at the leaf in his hand:

"Even if I find a time point after autumn, 3028, Fifth Era in the future, but Fiona has been alone in the City of Eternal Night for so many years, can I still save her?"

【Maybe there is a way.】 "What way?"

Xia De looked up suddenly and understood when he saw the giant tree that was about to disappear. He held the leaf with both hands and prayed to the Tree Father:

"You are the Ancient God of Time, you are the beginning and end of time! Father of the Infinite Tree, protector of nature and elves, please help me, even if it's just this once, please let me return to the City of Eternal Night in autumn, 3028, Fifth Era! Even if it's the last chance, even if it's only for a few short seconds, please let me return there..."

The outsider had never prayed for any miracle to happen to him; he always believed in his own plans. But at this moment, he hoped more than anything that a miracle could favor him.

And the 【Father of the Infinite Tree】, who had never disappointed people, did not disappoint Xia De this time either. A gentle spring breeze blew, stroking the leaves on the transparent branches that recorded the stories of time.

"She"'s laughter was still so gentle. "She" was not unable to understand Xia De's mood; "She" was just comforting the outsider in her own way:

【Message from the Father of the Infinite Tree:】

【Sacrifice this reward, the opening time of the next time key will be postponed by one month, and you can re-enter the City of Eternal Night in autumn, 3028, Fifth Era. The time interval from leaving is 1 second, and the stay time this time is 3 minutes.】

"Good evening. You have surprised me again, because I found that I didn't feel surprised to see you at this time and in this place."

He believed that based on his understanding of the night, this spiritual rune would appear on his life ring sooner or later. Holding the leaf high with both hands, Xia De watched it fly back to the swaying canopy:

"Can I wait for a period of time before entering, instead of entering immediately?"

The canopy rustled, and the white fog gradually dissipated. Xia De felt as if he had been hugged by someone. After seeing the things in front of him clearly, he realized that he had stumbled back to the Wang Erde Opera House at midnight on Saturday, the eighth day of the Wind-Rising Month, winter's end, 1854, Sixth Era.

That time key of 3028, which had shattered due to its last use, reassembled into the shape of a key in the lock hole like time flowing backward, and flew into Xia De's hand. It was just that the cracks on the surface of the key were clearer than any previous time, and there was flickering pure white light in every crack.

This was the color of the white fog Xia De was familiar with. This key was different from any previous key. 【Outsider, you need to open the "Fragile Key" within two hours.】

"She" reminded him softly. "No problem."

【You still cannot use the power of divinity in past time. So, you have to... "Xia De, what's wrong?"】

Luvia, who was waiting for Xia De, discovered that his expression was wrong for the first time because only three seconds had passed. Thinking that Xia De had encountered something, the purple-eyed girl immediately stepped forward to check his body:

"What did you encounter? Oh, why are your hands so cold?"

"I encountered some things. My hands are so cold because I was scared. Fortunately, there is still a chance for redemption... I need to see Miss Danister." He said quickly, and then noticed that he was panting heavily. He reached out to cover his chest, and the force of his heart hitting his chest surprised even himself.

Even though he knew that after opening this special key in his hand again, only one second would pass, he still had a sense of urgency: "Also, all plans and arrangements must be changed. Since such a thing has happened, I think different situations may appear... Pass the message to Iluna, let her go to the secret passage under the Temple of Night as soon as possible to wait for me. Yes, I suddenly understood some things. The time key is indeed related to all my experiences."

Luvia didn't quite understand, but still nodded:

"I have Iluna's contact information. And Miss Danister, right? No problem. I was worried that you would run into her when you set off to the outskirts of the city, so I have been inquiring about the location of the professors at St. Byron's."

Luvia said, she had always been so reliable: "Are you going to see that professor? Tonight? Now?" Luvia asked, and Xia De clenched his hands:

"Yes, go immediately. Solve this matter early, and I will be able to invest in the final battle earlier... I need to find a road." "What road?"

Luvia asked, and Xia De looked toward the outskirts of the city with deep eyes, as if he could see the scenery of the City of Eternal Night again: "A road that can enter and exit St. Byron's at will in the night, an ancient road."

Although Xia De spent forty minutes in the City of Eternal Night...

... so that the Doctor's potion had fully exerted its effect, removing the erosion of the demon's domain on Xia De. But in fact, for the Sixth Era 1854, which was experiencing another extraordinary night, only three seconds had passed.

Therefore, the earthquake was only a few minutes ago, which also meant that the first Randel Flower that had bloomed might not have been found yet, and there was still at least an hour and a half before the insane guardian appeared.

Xia De had to solve Fiona's matter within this time. And he had a premonition that although Fiona's matter happened in the Fifth Era, it would definitely have an important impact on the present · Sixth Era tonight.

And while Xia De was waiting for news at the Wang Erde Opera House, Iluna, who was solving the earth elemental giant spirits that appeared in the city with her team, had already been buried in the darkness.

When the earthquake occurred just now, she was dealing with enemies in the basement of No. 3 St. George Street, not far from the Wang Erde Opera House. Because she was a sixth-ring sorcerer and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere tonight, the team led by Iluna only had two fifth-ring companions.

When the earthquake occurred, she was in the deepest part of the basement, so while her companions might have escaped, she failed to leave in time. "Fortunately, the enemy has been solved."

The collapsed soil and bricks pressed down firmly, but Iluna supported a safe area. She was lying on the ground at this time, complaining about her bad luck tonight in her heart:

"This is the new clothes the church gave me. I originally wanted to bring them back to Tobesk..." ===== CHAPTER 1431 =====

When the major earthquake occurred just now, she was in the basement of No. 3 St. George Street, not far from the Wang Erde Opera House, dealing with enemies. Because she is a Sixth-Tier Sorcerer and manpower was scarce everywhere tonight, the team led by Yin Yi Yi Lu Na only had two Fifth-Tier companions.

When the earthquake struck, she was in the deepest part of the basement, so while her companions might have escaped disaster, she herself was unable to leave in time. "Fortunately, the enemy has already been dealt with."

The collapsed mud and masonry pressed down firmly, but Yin Yi Yi Lu Na propped up a safe area. She lay on the ground at this moment, complaining about her bad luck tonight:

"This is the new clothing the church issued to me; I had originally thought about taking it back to Tobesk..."
