Chapter 2552: Time Gap
Hearing Xia De's plea for help, in addition to being surprised by the surrounding environment, the witch shook her head and held his hand, her golden eyes looking at him gently:
"It doesn't matter, isn't the meaning of my existence now this? Tell me what's going on... Am I behind that door now?"
She looked at the inn room door that shouldn't have appeared here.
Wanting to tell the story of the Vista woodland from the beginning was really too complicated, so Xia De just roughly talked about the "twisted tree hole," "time curse," and Miss Isabella coming to visit Miss Winslet today.
This was clearly very different from the "past" that Adele herself experienced. Without Xia De's existence, Miss Danister couldn't have easily obtained the three moon stone slabs to open the 【Silver Moon Library】 last year, and it would have been difficult to get the notes of Laplace Howard on Green Island.
Therefore, at the time point of the past, Miss Danister likely didn't appear at the Accordion Inn with Miss Winslet at all, and the missing witch naturally wouldn't have been saved by the Xia De who didn't exist at all.
Xia De guessed that long-haired Luweiya played his role, which allowed her to threaten "Miss Owl" to be obedient. Of course, these were his imaginations, and now was not the time to think about this.
"I understand. It turns out that the development of things this time is like this. When the original me knew about the Vista area, everything here was about to end."
The golden-haired lady muttered to herself, but due to the time rules, she couldn't explain to Xia De specifically what happened when the "Time Chosen One" appeared in the past, but Xia De guessed that it was probably still related to long-haired Luweiya.
"The story of time is the story I know the least about among the thirteen stories. Every 'story of time' is the shortest of the thirteen stories. Anate always solves all problems and then gets the result she wants."
Finally, she just said this, Xia De asked in confusion:
"Every time?"
The witch with a tear mole at the corner of her eye looked at him:
"Last time you and... merged, you got power from the god."
This way of saying it was very problematic, but it must refer to the Battle of Moon Bay, when Xia De used the 【Blasphemous Cross】 in the merged state of the "Clock Tower Lover" to extract a drop of divinity from the "Dragon-Eating Demon."
"At that time, your soul accommodated my soul, and also isolated that great power from assimilating me. But my soul was still stained with the radiance that might not be worth mentioning to you.
After I returned to the past, that wisp of radiance caused strange changes in my soul before it disappeared. In short, not only the last time, but every memory belonging to Adele Isabella from earlier times appeared in my mind during every sleep."
Adele said this, Xia De was very worried:
"Then are you still you now?"
She showed a smile, very satisfied that Xia De cared about this;
"Don't worry about this, that's just memories of the past. Xia De, you did the right thing by calling me this time. Now is not the time for you to contact Adele Isabella directly. Next, you stand beside or behind me, and I will ensure that she cannot see you now."
She had the qualifications to say this as a demigod, and she also knew her own power best, so Xia De nodded and said no more, but walked toward that inn door with her.
Clang clang clang~
In the thick fog behind the door, Flora Winslet, who was in the gap of time, neither in the "present" nor in the "past" or "future," didn't know how long she had spent here.
She clutched her chest and gasped for breath, then looked at Adele Isabella, who was still so elegant and calm, casting spells around the two again.
"Is the difference between the eleventh rank and the thirteenth rank so big... alright, I'm in a cursed state."
The exhaustion of spirit also caused her physical strength to drop slightly, but she still didn't turn back into an owl, but gathered her spirit to capture the clues in this boundless fog, to prevent the sneak attack of "that thing."
Suddenly, the knocking sound clearly entered the ears of the two, and the witch with gray-black hair froze, and then immediately showed a pale smile:
"He, I mean she finally came!"
"Danister doesn't have time talent either, I only hope she called the principal of Saint-Byron, that professor is one of the few people in the material world who can seal this thing now."
The golden-haired Adele Isabella, for the convenience of fighting, had her golden hair coiled behind her head at this moment, her voice was very calm, and the spiritual light on her hands was still stable:
"Don't relax, Flora, after we rush out in a while, we still have to find a way to return to the correct time point to meet with that principal. Fortunately, the passage outside the door is the territory of the Council... Confirm the identity of the other party."
She said this, pointing at the black shadow rising in the white fog. So under the power of time, even the white fog itself twisted and disappeared, but the brand new white fog immediately surged again.
Above their heads, the thirteenth-rank golden ladder and the somewhat broken tenth-rank golden ladder crossed each other, and the safety zone created by the witch's power allowed them not to get lost in time and space.
The thirteenth-rank Adele Isabella knew that she could persist for a long, long time, but the problem was that in this gap of time, she couldn't completely defeat the bug hiding inside.
"Who is knocking at the door?"
Miss Winslet asked, very worried that if it was really Xia De outside the door, he wouldn't know how to answer.
And outside the door, Xia De saw the golden-haired witch beside him point to her own throat:
"Miss, it's me."
That was completely Charlotte Bell's timbre.
"Bell? What is the situation outside now?"
So the Adele outside the door asked again, and Adele in the fog heard her own voice and couldn't help but smile. Living alone in that end-of-the-world where sand filled the sky and the sun was about to fall, apart from looking forward to Xia De's every call, she hadn't encountered such an interesting thing for a long time:
"My Lord, some difficult-to-explain things have happened outside, but generally speaking, it's still good.
The fog of time has surged toward the whole city, I can't see this fog, but Miss Danister said that if the problem is not solved, the whole city may be dragged into the crack of time."
She held Xia De's hand and continued to say to that door:
"Miss Danister also said that the things you are dealing with are probably that legendary ancient evil object. Now the principal of Saint-Byron is on the way, she is responding to you outside, and should be able to hold this thing back temporarily."
Miss Winslet in the fog looked at the Speaker beside her, and the latter said very steadily:
"Bell, use the signature of mine on the paper in your hand to resonate with my power, this will point out the direction of the door for us. Remember, there will be thick fog surging out after opening the door in a while, but don't be nervous. Regardless of whether you see black things or not, you must leave here immediately and enter the Council, and then leave through the Council.
Flora and I will return along the passage, and will appear later than you."
She had confidence that even if that thing gave up on them to chase the witch apprentice outside the door, it would absolutely not be able to enter the fog door where the Council was located.
"Yes, Lord Isabella."
The Adele outside the door answered with a smile, she took the paper with the signature from Xia De's hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and the signature composed of ink actually left the paper and flew up, then turned into a golden signature floating in the air.
With a light push, the signature was branded on the door.
"Open the door."
She ordered softly, Xia De immediately reached out and pulled the doorknob, so the inn room 321 door embedded in the passage really opened, and more surging fog poured out immediately.
【Outlander, you have gained insight into 'Lost'.】
"Be ready to come with me."
Adele said softly to Xia De, narrowed her eyes and looked into the depths of the fog and reached out to make a spell-casting gesture, so Xia De also summoned the Moonlight Greatsword.
"Three, two, one - Principle of Regression!"
"Principle of Regression!"
A huge starry sky floated above the heads of Adele standing in place and Xia De who jumped up and turned with a sword, and as the witch's hand and Xia De's sword pointed forward, that dark light shadow was instantly bounced back in the direction of the door.
Xia De didn't even have time to look carefully at what it was, only vaguely seeing the black shell, and heard the buzzing sound similar to insect chirping when the thing was bounced back. It was not the sound produced by vibrating space, but the resonance produced by vibrating time and space.
And in the fog behind the door, two witches noticed the huge golden signature in the distance at the same time. But before they could turn to set off, accompanied by a loud bang~, a black thing flew from the distance like a cannonball, swoosh~ brushed past the two sides, and flew toward the deeper part of the thick fog.
"It wanted to attack the person who opened the door for us... No, who opened the door? Your apprentice couldn't possibly deal with this thing!"
Isabella asked softly with a frown, but still signaled Winslet to move toward the direction of the signature with her.
Behind them, the black figure that was bounced away soon caught up in the fog, but after the successive full-strength attacks of the two witches, it finally failed to stop them before they rushed out of the room door and entered the passage.
"Can't we also enter the Council first, and then return to reality from the Council?"
Miss Winslet said at a fast speed, the thick white fog in the passage made the familiar place become extremely strange, and she didn't see anyone else here.
"No, this will cause that bug to be permanently trapped in the passage, and it will be difficult for everyone to have a fight with that thing every time they enter the Council in the future? The two of us have to lead it back to the Vista woodland."
The voice of the Speaker came from the thick fog on the left, and the voice was still calm and confident, which made Miss Winslet believe and feel safe subconsciously. ===== CHAPTER 2553 =====
