Chapter 2618: Abnormal Target

The conversation continued, and Xia De recounted the story of the 【Damaged Southern Constellation Clock】 from yesterday. The only thing he concealed in this story was his relationship with Vanessa and Siris, but he did not conceal his relationship with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na.

Since he had finished the story, he still had to ask Miss Daniste for a favor regarding Yin Yi Yi Lu Na:

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na will come to the Vesta Forest tomorrow morning. This matter is being kept from the Church. Could the Academy lend us a relic that would allow her to come here? A one-way trip is fine; she has a way to return."

"Of course, that is a small matter."

After all, Miss Daniste had long known that the relationship between Xia De and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was not normal, but Miss Winslet did not. She had just been wondering if Vanessa had already seen Xia De, and if she had, it would be impossible for her not to have discovered the abnormality, but hearing about the Chosen One had suddenly diverted her to this topic:

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Miss Beiya? I heard from Miss Jia Lin Na that her relationship with this Chosen One is quite good, and she is teaching this Chosen One to learn some of the Witch's secret arts of the balance system."

"Yes, I introduced them."

Xia De did not hide much:

"Actually, I met Yin Yi Yi Lu Na first, when I went to look for this cat (Chapter 25)."

As he spoke, he gently patted Little Mia's head:

"My relationship with Miss Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Miss Beiya is very good; I even invited her to eat at my home. Didn't that dragon beast appear locally? The Sunlight Spear she excels at is a miracle for hunting dragons, and the power of the Chosen One might have an effect on that kind of twisted monster, so I asked her to come here to see the situation."

Miss Winslet then nodded gently, thinking to herself that she would also meet that girl she had heard about early on. At this moment, she could not imagine that Xia De and such a famous girl would have any other relationship.

Xia De continued to say to Miss Daniste:

"In addition, I found some interesting information yesterday by asking a friend in Tobesk. The Holy See of the Dawn Church retains a large-scale ritual capable of stabilizing time, and that ritual can contain the twisted tree hole we discovered. Is it possible to make the Dawn Church aware of this through the Academy? It is not yet suitable for the Witch Council to pass on the message."

The red-haired girl nodded again in agreement; she was not at all surprised that Xia De could always produce such big news.

Xia De, of course, did not forget the Paradox Worm potion. The potion could be drunk directly, without any other fancy or complicated processes.

Because only Miss Daniste had elven blood, the potion only had an effect on her. The 【Time Stabilization Anchor】 bought from the hermits on Monday allowed her total amount of spirit to recover to one-twentieth of its peak period, and after drinking the elven potion, as steam mist surged behind her, an eight-ring life ring appeared in the room.

"Recovered from the seventh ring to the eighth ring."

The red-haired girl said with slight surprise, then took out a mirror to look at her face, and then was very glad to find that she was still eighteen:

"I've even been thinking lately, it would be great if, when the curse is lifted, only the rank is restored but not the age."

"How could there be such a good thing?"

The witch, who was afraid that she would be an owl for the rest of her life, immediately said this, and then asked:

"But if one potion recovers one ring of level, then wouldn't you really recover to the thirteenth ring after five more?"

Xia De corrected:

"It's not that easy. The elf said that the effect of the potion is worse with each bottle, and the more you recover, the worse the effect will be.

The Paradox Worm potion cannot completely remove the time curse. This method can at most allow Miss Daniste to recover to the twelfth ring. But even so, we are afraid we will have to solve hundreds of worms to get enough raw materials.

The real hope still lies with Sister Sister Daifulin. Although this potion has a good effect, it is ultimately suppression, not a solution."

"At least she is really recovering, while I am still an owl."

"That is why you were able to transform into a toy and follow Xia De through the tree hole again, while I could only stay here."

Miss Daniste pointed out, and the witch became happy again.

Xia De was not there on the local Tuesday, and the two ladies were of course not idle. Among them, Miss Daniste contacted the Night Song elves in the Academy for Xia De, asking about the past of the Fifth Era.

And the good news was that the Night Song elves currently living in Saint Byron still retained some tribal information from the Fifth Era, and they had indeed lived in the Vesta Forest, which meant that Xia De did not need to contact other Night Song elf tribes;

And the bad news was that those old materials and records needed time to be read and searched, so even if they had recorded the "Black Mist of Death" in the forest, Xia De would probably have to wait a few days to get the materials.

As for Miss Winslet, after getting those oak fruits that could detect "time travelers" yesterday, she ate one and turned into an owl to fly around the city, and then naturally found nothing.

Besides that, the city had been safe and sound since the fierce battle in the night sky last Sunday night. The 【Tree Hole Society】 had disappeared without a trace again, and no one had gone to check the antique oil paintings under the old Bennett house.

Only the local church had constant movements, but they did not carry out activities in the city, but dispatched manpower deep into the forest, not knowing what they were looking for. But the reinforcements sent from other places this time currently only consisted of the thirteen-ring "Construct Master" from Wilndale and the high-ring investigation team composed of the Dawn Church, the Sun Church, the Creation Church, and the Peace Church, who also rushed from Wilndale.

The church was obviously wary of something, and this could be inquired about from Yin Yi Yi Lu Na later.

"So there are no arrangements for today for the time being. Xia De, do you want to go see the hermits again, or inquire about the giant dragon from a hundred years ago in the city, or go observe the Bennett family again, or do you have other ideas?"

Miss Daniste gave four suggestions, but Xia De shook his head:

"The hermits said that those oak fruits are best not eaten continuously, so I'll try it today."

The acorn had been roasted, and it could be eaten after peeling the shell. Xia De found it hard to evaluate its taste; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Fortunately, it was only an amount that could be eaten in one bite.

"Meow~"

"It's not for eating, there's none for you."

【Outlander, you have eaten the "Beacon Acorn" and are searching for abnormal time stamps...】

"High-efficiency space perception!"

【Perception range expanded, please wait... Search finished, number of abnormal objects found: 1.】

Even his perception could not cover the entire Vesta Forest, so the search range was only the surrounding area, and this abnormal object was obviously not the elf girl living deep in the forest.

"Found a time traveler."

Xia De said calmly to the two ladies, and then reached out his hand to them:

"Who is coming with me today?"

Because Miss Daniste followed Xia De to the forest on Monday, the witch stood up at once:

"I'll go, let Daniste wait here for news from your Academy."

The red-haired sorceress's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but she sneered inwardly:

"Fine, but Xia De, where did you perceive the time traveler? Flora flew around the city all afternoon yesterday and didn't find the other party. It can't be that the other party just happened to enter the city today, right?"

The location given by the "Beacon Acorn" when perceiving different time stamps was very vague, but after taking the acorn, one could identify the other party as long as one saw them once:

"Deep in the forest, probably at..."

Miss Bell took out the city's travel map and the secret map bought from the hermits on Monday. Xia De pointed at it by referring to the map, and the two ladies and the cat stretched their heads to look, and then said in surprise:

"How could it be here? Twilight Forest Outpost!"

As a traffic artery near the royal capital Wilndale, there were two camps of the First Legion of the Kassenrik Royal Army in the Vesta Forest, one of which was the "Twilight Forest Outpost" located deep in the forest southwest of the city.

The area of this outpost was far larger than the Delarion "Red Water Camp" that Xia De had visited when he was in Mid-Hill Fort, and the highest officer of the Twilight Forest Outpost was usually an officer of colonel rank directly appointed by Wilndale.

As for the role of this outpost, it was not to guard the royal capital, but to serve as a training camp for the royal capital's guards.

Therefore, apart from the young noble officers from the capital who come to gild their resumes as mentioned by Eric Follen, and the garrison of the camp itself, the capital's troops also come here seasonally to conduct drills in field survival, combat, reconnaissance, and military formations.

So the permanent troops of the camp itself were not important, but the camp was quite important.

"But how powerful is your perception? Although I turned into an owl and my level dropped, I am a witch and a part-time ring warlock. My perception is actually so much worse than yours?"

However, Xia De and the witch did not really go deep into the forest to explore, because while Xia De confirmed the location again and discussed the infiltration plan with the witch, he detected that the abnormal time stamp actually started to move.

So they waited in the room for a while, and finally confirmed that the direction the time stamp was moving was towards the city. Although Xia De could only perceive a vague location, he could calculate the speed of the other party's movement with the vague area as the center:

"It should be by carriage. Calculating the time, it should be able to enter the city by noon."

So although they were ready to set off, no one went out all morning. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the morning, Xia De even helped Miss Winslet make a few more bottles of "Warmth" potion.

But looking at the witch's appearance, one could tell that she was not interested in this potion, or rather, the effect of this potion could not satisfy her.

The three of them even had lunch together while the target had not entered the city. After lunch, the owl grabbed the silver cat and flew into the sky. Miss Daniste said goodbye to them at the window, and then turned to look at Little Mia lying on the back of the short sofa, inexplicably feeling lonely. ===== CHAPTER 2619 =====
