Chapter 2486

~10 min read 1,945 words

In the first record, the "time traveler" claimed that after passing through the tree hole, he fell into the sea, and was then rescued by a small boat. From the demon hunter on the boat, he learned that the time was the Demon Era of the Third Era.

There were seven people on the small boat, all of whom escaped from a small island that had been destroyed by evil spirits and demons. But unfortunately, after the "traveler" was rescued onto the boat and became the eighth person, the demon hidden on the boat began to kill people step by step, and very accurately killed one person every night.

When only five people were left on the boat, the mutually suspicious people suspected that the "traveler" of unknown origin and another woman with a deformed right hand were the demon, so both were thrown off the boat.

The "traveler" didn't know what happened next. When he woke up, he was resting against that ancient tree, but the tree hole on the tree was gone.

The "time traveler" in the second record was female, and her report was relatively simple. According to her, after she passed through the tree hole, she arrived in a gorgeous palace. After being discovered and arrested by the maids in it, because of her lack of common sense and some strange actions, she attracted the owner of the palace.

The extremely beautiful mistress of the palace soon realized that she came from a different time, but before that beautiful and elegant lady could do anything, the "traveler" woke up in the woods again.

The third record was the shortest, because when the writer of the parchment found him, the man who had crossed the tree hole had gone completely crazy.

The writer of the parchment used many means, and finally extracted some memories at the cost of completely destroying his brain, but this record only had one sentence:

【The sky is yellow, the sun is black, people are alive, and the world is dead.】

Others might feel inexplicable about this sentence, but Xia De raised his eyebrows in surprise. He clearly felt that what was written in the third record was the scene of the doomsday era of the "Past · Sixth Era." Yellow refers to the sky full of yellow sand, the black sun was fresh in his memory, the dead world was unquestionable, and the living person was probably the madman's description of himself.

"This piece of golden sheep parchment comes from the Fourth Era.

So, the man in the first record suspected that he went from the Dark Era to the Demon Era of the Third Era in the past, the woman in the second record suspected that she went from the Dark Era to the Witch Era of the Fifth Era in the future, and the last one went directly to doomsday, but I don't know which doomsday it was."

Compared to the two records about the "moon" just now, this record was obviously more attractive to Xia De.

Whether it was the "Time Tree Hole" or the experiences of the three suspected "time travelers," it made him think of many things. For example, if there were doors in the spaces left by the Ancient Gods, would those "Time Doors" leading to the Corridor of Time be this kind of tree hole.

And the three people who traveled through time through these strange tree holes, some went to the past, some went to the future. Although I don't know how they returned from the time that didn't belong to them, it was clear that this kind of travel was not "only watching" like the Time Key, but truly became a part of another time.

And this kind of time travel was clearly "legal," or at least not "illegal." The writer of the parchment claimed to have checked the bodies and souls of the three "time travelers" and found no special traces on them.

Although it was also possible that the supernatural being who left this record did not have the ability to discover the "Time Curse," Xia De was more inclined to believe that those three people were not cursed by time.

The above content is very important for Xia De, who is committed to finding a way to bring witches from past eras to this era.

The manuscript of golden sheep parchment came from the ancient Fourth Era. Since people at that time studied "time travel," and this manuscript was still secretly collected by the 【Church of Nature and Evil Thoughts】 now, it meant that research on this had definitely been going on for a long time.

It was just that the owner of the manuscript said at the end of the manuscript that he was going to try to find similar tree holes, but there was no content afterward, and I don't know if he didn't find it or encountered an accident on the way out.

But in short, the church believes that the content of this manuscript is true, so Xia De can also try to find similar tree holes later:

"But there are not many primeval forests left in the Old Continent. There are some in the Pantanal Wetlands, and there are also some in southern Casenrick and northern Derarion... The Vesta Forest where 'Creekwood Town' is located, which Miss Danister is going to next, also has large stretches of primeval forests."

He put down the parchment and looked at the Randall River Valley in front of him again. The forest here was also old enough, but it was clear that the so-called tree hole was not something he could find just because he wanted to:

"Next time I see long-haired Luweiya, I can ask for her opinion. Tree hole... ah..."

"Meow~"

"Yes, yes, it sounds like a plot in a fairy tale, falling into a tree hole or a rabbit hole and then arriving in a mysterious world. But if those tree holes are really so-called Time Doors, how can I grow a tree at home?"

He touched the black Time Key hanging on his chest with faint melancholy again. Although the Time Key itself could enter the "Corridor of Time," it was only for most people to watch. So, the way to enter the real "Corridor of Time" might not be through the key at all, but still to find those doors, and the Time Key was just one of the three conditions to open the "Corridor of Time."

Of course, the above is purely speculation.

What the church did after the Battle of Moon Bay ended was of course not just preparing these gifts for the "God-Caller," waiting for the oracle of the gods to answer the God-Caller's questions, and promoting the 【Nightfall Seal】. The "Dragon Island" that returned to the material world after the Chosen One of "Light" held the ritual was also very troublesome.

Of course, Xia De did not get involved in this matter, but only heard intermittent news from Yiluna and Galina who occasionally visited the house.

Restraining those dragons that had been separated from human civilization in the material world for the entire Sixth Era certainly couldn't rely on the church alone. Therefore, in the negotiations held on the last day of the Month of Flowers, the Five Gods Church, the Three Great Academies, the Prophet Association, the Witch Council, and even semi-neutral Ringed Shushi organizations like the "Winter Chant Choir," "Apna Library," and "Rose Cross Society" sent representatives.

Each of the Five Gods Churches sent a Thirteen-Ring Shushi, and the Three Great Academies were each represented by 5 Twelve-Ring professors.

The 【Witch Council】 was represented by Adele Isabella. She very arrogantly let all Twelve-Tier witches except Galina go to the scene, which of course included Miss Aurora who set off for the New Continent, and Vanessa and Miss Belindell who were far away in Moon Bay.

In short, although neither Yiluna nor Galina went to the scene to observe the negotiations, they could vividly tell Xia De many details of the scene and the key points of the negotiations.

As for the result of the negotiations, it was of course not very unexpected. The "Dragon Island Force" with only two Thirteen-Ring dragons had no advantage in the negotiations. They accepted the conditions proposed by the church, constrained their clansmen not to appear in the human civilization world in dragon form, and at the same time would send "exchange students" to the Three Great Academies to study.

And the only two conditions proposed by the dragons besides material exchange and academic exchange were: first, humans are not allowed to be stationed on Dragon Island; second, human civilization is not allowed to forcibly change their beliefs.

In the era when the dragons closed Dragon Island, the beliefs of the five True Gods were not as widespread as they are today. Most of them believed in the Ancient God Dragon God - 【Dragon Wing Emperor】, which was the second son of the Ancient God, and a small part directly believed in the Ancient God 【Dragon of Radiance】.

"So, did the dragons not mention the Seventh Chosen One?"

Xia De asked Yiluna curiously, and Yiluna nodded:

"Of course they mentioned it, but the church fooled them, and the human civilization representative put on a look of not wanting to talk about it."

But in fact, the church didn't know what was going on with the Seventh Chosen One either. They only knew that the God-Caller entrusted the Witch Council to inform them that the Chosen One of Light had spent too much power to save Moon Bay and needed to rest for a long time to recover.

In short, the Month of Flowers passed during the vacation, and September, the Month of Harvest, arrived. And Xia De still didn't need to consider the adventure of the Time Key, neither the normal one nor the black one needed to be considered.

The arrival of September meant the start of the school season, but for correspondence Ringed Shushi, this only meant needing to choose elective courses for the autumn semester.

Miss Danister had already arranged all the elective courses on the moon and time for Xia De, so Xia De only needed to remember to project and attend classes according to the time.

Of course, before the start of the school season, he had already mastered his two new Qishu, which were Miss Danister's 【Bright Moon Knowledge Realm】 and Miss Feilian's 【Arrow of Night】.

The former is a standard mid-ring Qishu. Under the moonlight, Xia De can perceive any entity and non-entity under the moonlight within a hundred meters.

The Qishu he mastered himself - 【Shadow of the Moon】 guaranteed that he was constantly in a moonlit state, but this Qishu did not guarantee that there was moonlight around, so 【Bright Moon Knowledge Realm】 only strengthened Xia De's perception at night.

Xia De's perception was already powerful. After mastering the Qishu, he also did a small test. After turning his back, clearly "seeing" Little Mia jumping around under the moon was already the foundation. More importantly, he could even clearly "see" the expression changes, pupil contraction degree, and skin trembling caused by the heartbeat of Dorothy standing behind him.

The learning of the Witch Secret Technique 【Arrow of Night】 was relatively difficult, but Xia De finally mastered it under the venue blessing of the "Temple of Night."

When using this Qishu associated with the 【Night】 Spirit Rune, it requires a bow in hand. When bending the bow and shooting an arrow, a black arrow is condensed. This is not difficult for Xia De, who possesses the Sage-level relic 【Star Trace】.
