Chapter 2526: Tree Hole Association

The sound of flapping wings appeared overhead. After confirming that the elf had left, the owl landed on Xia De's shoulder:

"It's normal that you don't know about the 【Tree Hole Association】. If I hadn't specifically investigated it before coming to Vesta Forest, I wouldn't know about this organization either. The rumor of the 'Time Tree Hole' has been around for a long time. Most people don't believe it, but a few people still do."

"The 【Tree Hole Association】 is a group dedicated to finding time tree holes and traveling through time. Their organization is very small, at least according to the information I collected, their organization is very small. And they usually don't have any public activities. They are identified as an illegal organization because they attacked a rural town church of the Nature Church around 1200 and stole several relics."

Xia De looked down at the corpse:

"Are all members of the 【Tree Hole Association】 time-talented?"

"Most of them are, but they are not naturally born time-talented people."

"We all know that time talent is very rare. According to the information I have, most of them obtained time talent through abnormal means, among which the time acceleration miracle 'Rapid Spell' for themselves is their most conspicuous feature, and it is also the signature miracle of the 【Tree Hole Association】."

The owl flew down from Xia De's shoulder and transformed into Flora Winster beside Xia De. The witch looked down at the corpse:

"Usually, to deal with 'Rapid Spell', you need to use area attacks. As long as the attack range is sufficient, no matter how fast you run, it's useless... In fact, there is very little information about these people. I have another rumor here that cannot be verified."

"What rumor?"

The witch hesitated:

"The ring warlocks of the 【Tree Hole Association】 believe that the original founder of the association was a 【Tree Hole Association】 member who accidentally came to that era from the future. Therefore, the time tree hole must exist, because the founder proved the necessity of their existence in the future, so they believe that time travel is feasible."

"A very simple question: even if time travel is feasible, what do they want to do through time travel? Do they think they can reverse what has already happened?"

Even if Xia De knew the most powerful time-talented person, Luweiya, she couldn't reverse the past, only destroy the present and recreate the future. In other words, reversing the past is more difficult than destroying time and starting over.

"I can't answer this question either."

The witch shook her head:

"Take this corpse with you, let's find a suitable place in the forest, and I will summon their souls."

"Are you okay now?"

Xia De asked hesitantly. Her state in the mansion just now was not good at all.

"Rest assured, I am not only proficient in transformation, and I didn't do much in the battle just now."

Speaking of this, she praised softly:

"You are very outstanding, even more outstanding than I thought. The divine art like the Sun Church's 'Hidon Seal' and the 'Night Curtain Seal' shared by the God-caller recently, plus your own reaction speed that almost keeps up with 'Rapid Spell' and powerful fire miracles, it's hard to imagine who can defeat you head-on at the eight-ring level... So what did Danister teach you?"

Xia De smiled, took out the canvas to cover the corpse, and the witch watched him use the toy transformation technique, and asked again:

"Speaking of which, why didn't you ask this question immediately just now? In the Creekwood Town area, are there actually pure-blooded elves? I am very sure she saw through my transformation. She is terrible. I wouldn't want to face her in this forest even at my peak. She is simply like the incarnation of this forest."

"I thought you would ask this question immediately just now. Don't worry about her, she is my friend and knows this place very well. Later, if we encounter difficulties in local investigations, we might have to ask her for help."

"But you just arrived locally, how can you have local friends?"

"Because I happen to be very good at making friends."

After packing up, the two continued to move deeper into the forest. The witch turned into an owl again, and because she disliked Xia De walking too slowly, she grabbed Xia De and flew into the sky with him.

In fact, Xia De just didn't want to turn into a red butterfly group in front of her. Now this move has been known by the witches because of the "God-caller." The battle just now also didn't use the Silver Moon series of spells because he didn't want to expose it too early, but it was not necessary to use all his strength to deal with two ring warlocks lower than his own level.

Miss Winster finally stopped by a small stream in the forest. She directed Xia De to dig two shallow graves on the pebble beach, and then put the two corpses into them.

Finally, she dug out the four eyes of the corpse with a spell, and personally found four stones closest to the circle and put them into the eye sockets.

After doing this, she chanted a spell to cast the spell. She didn't use any casting materials, just a moment of effort, and an extremely cold wind blew in the forest.

The sky light in the forest seemed to darken a bit, and then the corpse of the seven-ring warlock who died of a wooden arrow piercing his heart sat up from the pit. The pebbles in his eye sockets were gradually burned by the faint blue ghost fire, and finally only two faint blue ghost fires remained in the eye sockets.

The witch wiped the sweat from her forehead:

"I didn't expect that under the curse state, even the original simple soul summoning technique would become troublesome. There are prohibitions on their souls. Usually, they cannot be summoned. The current state cannot be maintained for too long, let's hurry up and ask."

The first soul was asked three questions before it went out of control, but three questions also made him admit that they were indeed from the 【Tree Hole Association】, and they were indeed monitoring the time fluctuation traces of the old Bennett mansion because they suspected that the Bennett family was related to time power.

But unlike what Xia De thought, the 【Tree Hole Association】 did not only suspect the Bennett family. Any family that existed in this area since the Creekwood Town era was suspected by them to be involved in time power:

"Creekwood Town has a big net woven by time. Those ordinary people have done many things that ring warlocks dare not think of."

This kind of suspicion is very strange, so when Miss Winster summoned the second soul, Xia De asked for the first time why they would think so.

"I don't know, this is the conclusion given by the high-level association. It is rumored in the association that the president's eyes can directly see the past and future, but some people say that future people traveled through time and gave the president information."

Xia De and Miss Winster looked at each other, neither of them believed this statement, they must have mastered specific clues. But the 【Tree Hole Association】's statement was consistent with the witch and Miss Danister's ideas. They also believed that there must be a big secret hidden locally:

"How big is your organization? How many of your people are there in Vesta Forest now?"

"We have one hundred..."

The corpse suddenly expanded violently. While Xia De cast 【Hidon Seal】 to protect Miss Winster behind him, the corpse exploded on the spot with a bang. After the explosion, a three-meter-deep pit including the original small stream riverbed appeared in the forest, and rolling black smoke with a foul smell drifted with the wind, and the stream water was constantly flowing into the pit.

"If his answer is more than one hundred people, then the 【Tree Hole Association】 can definitely not be considered a small organization."

The gray-black haired witch said, her golden eyes looking at Xia De:

"Do you dare to take risks?"

"Risk doing what?"

"Even if the corpse exploded, I can continue to perform soul summoning. But I am not in my peak state now, so performing soul summoning again might encounter some trouble, such as undead resurrection, etc. Do you dare to accompany me to try soul summoning again?"

Xia De smiled and patted his chest, where the badge was hidden:

"No problem, I am most afraid of undead."

The next soul summoning was not just chanting a spell. The two continued to move deeper into the forest. The witch also explained to Xia De:

"I want to find the area most suitable for the undead, that is, the area where the boundary between life and death is most blurred. Generally speaking, locations with less human activity are most prone to this kind of place. Look, my mastery of death power is no weaker than transformation."

It was noon at this time, so they simply had lunch in the woods. Xia De didn't use "Fiona's Housekeeping Servant" this time, but took out the toy.

During lunch, Miss Winster, in addition to taking a short rest, also discussed Xia De's performance when fighting in the manor, and praised Xia De's two magic seal miracles again.

This lady was very willing to guide Xia De, and her combat experience was much more than Xia De's.

The two also talked about "Toy Transformation," which is Xia De's miracle "Toy Making." Xia De didn't hide that this miracle actually belonged to "Divine Art," and when he learned that Xia De could even turn living people into toys, the witch was even more eager to try:

"You can turn ring warlocks into toys? This is really amazing. The increase in ring warlock level will passively improve various resistances, including resistance to malicious transformation... Try it on me, I will experience the power of your transformation."

Xia De, who was sitting on the picnic cloth eating lunch under a tree, shook his head:

"Better not. The feeling of being turned into a toy is not very good. There will be a feeling of blurred consciousness and wrong time perception."

So Flora Winster smiled confidently:

"You don't think your transformation will work on me, do you? I am a transformation master."

Xia De thought about it and thought she was right. After all, even after being blessed in the "Holy White Hall," his current 【Toy Making】 was still ineffective against Galina of the 12th tier:

"Then I'll try it."

Saying that, he took out a brand new canvas. Miss Winster, who was also sitting on the picnic cloth, even moved to cover the canvas on herself:

"Come on, I'm ready."

Knowing that the other party was a "transformation master," Xia De summoned the life ring very seriously, and then reached out to touch it. ===== CHAPTER 2527 =====
