Chapter 1716

"【Missing Conch】 has many taboos when used, I can't use it anymore. The two ordinary people behind, their state is not suitable for contacting relics now. Why don't you try it? You have a coin, don't you? Or, I'll lend it to you. Haven't you encountered witches before? You can ask them, what are the remaining broken sword and pink-white conch?"

The witch explained her thoughts further.

"I use this relic? But..."

Xia De hesitated. Anyone he missed probably didn't exist in this era. Even the closest Chloe was someone who lived 600 years ago. He didn't want to verify at all whether Chloe was already dead now. Being determined by him was an established fact, but if he didn't observe, there was a possibility of different results.

"Give it to me, try it, trying it won't make you lose anything."

Seeing that Mrs. Myers' state really couldn't wait, Miss Higgins took the initiative to pay another coin, and then handed the conch to Xia De. Xia De hesitated and put it to his ear, trying hard to construct the appearance of the long-haired Luweiya's soul in his mind—he thought he could only contact this witch who had a major relationship with time. He didn't expect the conch to ring by itself: "Eh? Who is it?"

A familiar voice was emitted, and the appearance of the red dragon girl with a big tail jumped into Xia De's mind immediately. Xia De was surprised for a moment; after all, Fiona definitely hadn't been born in this era, but after realizing that this thing could actually communicate across time, he said immediately:

"Fiona, it's you, Ers! I am now..."

"Wait a moment, I'll go find the teacher now. Who opened the door? Oh, Miss Felianna, why are you here? Come quickly! Terrible, oh, it's going to break, the sound is going to disappear, Ers, Ers!"

This adventure wasn't in the Black Fog Camp. Liu Gu actually was waiting to return to his own time to investigate what the two items were, to avoid wasting the coins in everyone's hands. But now there was less than ten minutes before he left, and Mrs. Myers and the boy were almost unable to hold on. Even if he was willing to stay and waste ten-plus minutes waiting, others had to return.

The young witch nodded helplessly, and asked Ers again:

Originally worried about whether Luweiya at this time point already knew her, fortunately, the purple-eyed girl understood at once:

"Who is it?"

"I believe you now, you are definitely not a bad thing, perhaps a god sent you to help us. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have survived just now."

The sound disappeared, which was much shorter than the communication time of Miss Higgins just now. But before Ers could take the conch away from his ear and shake it hard to determine if it was broken, a new voice appeared:

"Time is not enough, let me divine! Don't, don't use coins, there's only one left. You rely on inspiration to say an answer."

The group breaking into the camp and being able to return safely made Miss Higgins very happy, but in the firelight, she found that Ers, who was the only one standing, still had a frowning expression:

"Experiment successful? You really used the time key as the ritual core to open the time channel communicating with the past?! Ers, wait a moment, Her Majesty Wei Liu Gu Te! Aunt! Come quickly! You really succeeded, Ers he..."

The witch had sufficient food and water in the small camp arranged by the campfire. After she recovered a little, she distributed the food, and even gave the boy a portion. Ers shook his head to indicate he didn't need it. After the boy received it, he didn't dare to eat it immediately as if he were afraid.

"You" said content that wasn't gentle at all. Ers sighed, and told his companions the result of the "inquiry":

"Believe in your own judgment, you decide. No matter what, I won't blame you. I'm just praying for a possibility. If our love is truly loyal, if my missing can move the gods, fate will also help you."

That voice was extremely vigilant, but Liu Gu knew it was Luweiya as soon as he heard it, and it was the short-haired Luweiya. This time he learned from the lessons of the previous two times, took a deep breath:

But at least, this time adventure was also an opportunity for him. The premise was that he could also get more white coins.

The sound disappeared. Although Ers still wanted to listen, he no longer had a third conversation.

"Conch! I'll go to St. Theresa Square now, how did you do that?"

In this way, the witch's 23 coins had consumed 17 coins. Plus Mrs. Myers' 6 coins, there were only 11 left.

"Too late!"

She then signaled that she wanted to buy another one. Fortunately, the price of the broken sword was relatively cheap, and it was bought for only 4 coins.

This adventure time was short, only twenty minutes. At this time, there were only the last five minutes left before he left that place. Compared to the first few times of the time key, his action this time seemed very smooth, even too smooth. However, he still didn't find the god, and there were too many unknowns this time.

"Liu Gu? Wait a moment, your description is too broad, what specific relic is it?"

The panting girl gave Ers a "well done" gesture, then had to sit down and rest. The boy and Mrs. Myers were holding their foreheads and sitting by the campfire, unable to say a word. Ers was also a bit tired, but after being warmed by the campfire, the effect of 【Moon of Life】 quickly played a role.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"It's me, Ers, I'm in 1578!"

When turning to grab the young red-haired witch's hand, the torches in their hands were completely extinguished at this moment. The black fog surged and swallowed the two, but at this time they had already appeared beside the campfire.

"Still not sure if it's the conch or the broken sword."

And wanting to return to that stall area, I'm afraid it wasn't easy. "I really lost my mind."

Seeing that there were only the last few dozen steps left, Ers accelerated his speed, first threw the boy toward the campfire, then picked up Mrs. Myers behind the witch, and sent her to the campfire as well.

"Excuse me, who is it?"

"Mrs. Myers, I can't decide."

The scale still hadn't been taken back by the black shadow, so the witch reached out and wanted to collect the three items together and then leave. However, Ers called her to stop, and took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to her; the former then patted her head:

The conch was placed on one end of the scale by the black shadow, and then the witch constantly added coins to the other end. This time, it took a full 7 coins to finally let the scale return to balance.

Along the way, even Ers couldn't care about observing the things displayed on the stalls around. Even later, the witch carried her employer on her back, and Ers used "Puppet Manipulation" to control the boy to grab his clothes and run forward together.

"Buy one first. If the remaining number of coins is large, buy the other one too. If there isn't much left, just take the one you picked, consider it gambling on luck, but I am more optimistic about the conch. The suggestion given by my diviner friend based on inspiration is also the conch."

"Space, spatial jump?" "I want that."

Finally, when there were only a few sparks left on the five torches, they finally left the camp and saw the faint light of the campfire in the distance. At this time, even the witch was panting, and didn't even have time to be surprised that Ers was only breathing a little faster.

This time Ers didn't talk nonsense, directly explaining the situation, but the witch still interrupted him; Miss Theresa's voice was quite pleasantly surprised:

Although she said this, the witch still made a decision immediately; she pointed to the conch:

Leaving was smoother than entering the camp. The terrain and stalls here wouldn't change, so just walk back along the old road.

He looked at the camp hidden in the white fog behind him, and always felt that this adventure was a bit wrong. And besides being wrong, this time key adventure also revealed great value. Judging from the current situation, the "trading" involved in this camp almost involved all aspects, which meant that it was also possible to achieve some of Ers' wishes here, such as "what do the patterns of the sun, moon, and stars represent," "where is the Silver Moon Sage sleeping"... the latter possibility was small.

She carefully wrapped the conch and the broken sword with cloth, then grabbed the scale, and let it float in front of her. The group turned and left along the road they came, moving very fast, because the light of the torches in their hands was already quite dim.

Only then did he have time to think about what had just happened, put the conch back, and carefully remember all the characteristics of the relic. If he also found the 【Missing Conch】 in the Eighth Era, maybe he could communicate with Chloe in the early Seventh Era, Felianna in the middle, Oulannode, Fiona, and Wei Liu Gu Te, Theresa in the late Seventh Era at once.

The hesitant witch thought for a long time before saying to the employer behind her. The old woman supported by the boy shook her head:

"I always hate gambling on luck."

The appearance of Miss Theresa Schultz, who became the principal of the Cerces Higher Medical School at the end of the Seventh Era, jumped into Liu Gu's mind. In the first encounter at Lost Lake, the girl who followed her distant aunt, the demigod witch Miss Wei Jin Si Te, was initially worried about her graduation thesis, but at the Battle of Pantanal, she also appeared as a demigod witch and helped Ers together.

【Impossible, this time it was because of the chaotic space-time conditions here. Otherwise, it should be us contacting you first.】

"I Ers time key 1578 need help broken sword pink-white conch which one can call spirit?"

The sound disappeared completely again, and didn't give Liu Gu a chance to react. The third lady's voice appeared:

"What are you still worried about? Rest assured, although I don't know where this fire came from, the campfire side is absolutely safe. Wait for me to rest well, test the functions of these two items, and we can wait here with peace of mind for Her Majesty to pick us up and return... Do you want to leave together? Mrs. Mai Li and I can guarantee you to Her Majesty, you don't have to worry about being disliked by the Witch Emperor, she might even give you a court official position."
