Chapter 2628

Compared with the manor 33 years later, the Collins Manor now had almost no changes. And when Xia De walked along the small road on the side of the mansion to the front courtyard of the manor illuminated by the hanging kerosene lamps, he was unexpectedly surprised to find that this wedding banquet was even more lively than the one in 1854, 33 years later.

The outdoor banquet actually lit a bonfire in the courtyard, and the night at this time was deeper than in 1854. The guests were playing excitedly, either dancing around the bonfire, or walking and chatting with friends holding wine glasses, and no one noticed Xia De's arrival.

The development of steam industry makes the era change with each passing day. Even if it is only 33 years apart, the clothing style of people at this time is very different from 1854. But fortunately, Xia De was only wearing a white shirt, which at least didn't look abrupt.

Xia De didn't know whose wedding this was for the time being, nor did he know what he was sent to 1821 by the relic to do specifically, because he didn't hear the rules said by the relic at all.

However, the effect of "Beacon Acorn" had not expired at this time. He was about to find whether there were time travelers in this era through "time stamps", but after launching the effect, he thought that he shouldn't do this:

"The hermits said that the role of the acorn is to find objects with different time stamps from oneself, and obviously the time stamps of everyone in the past are all the same as those living in 1854..."

He stopped thinking while facing the crowd illuminated by the bonfire and lights, because after the perception was launched, he looked at the people dancing, joking, eating, drinking, and talking, but the "time traveler" perceived was only one, not everyone.

Taking a deep breath, the outlander himself was a bit confused. He covered his forehead, and a question that had arisen a long time ago seemed to be answered. He could travel through time at will, it seemed not simply because of the permission of the tree father's power, it seemed that he...

"My soul does not belong to any time in this world."

He stood on the outskirts of the banquet under the moonlight, his figure looking so lonely at this moment.

"She" then said softly:

【But all time is willing to accept you, all time is willing to give you time stamps. When you are, when is your home.】

Xia De continued to watch the bonfire that suddenly surged because of the input of wine, people were screaming around it with smiles:

"So if it weren't for the tree father giving me a time limit every time, letting me return to 'the current time', theoretically, I could actually live in the Fifth Era with Chloe, Miss Feliana, or Miss Violet all the time? Could it be that the tree father's task time limit is not to give me pressure or reminders, but to prevent me from really staying?"

【This is a very dangerous idea. However, your mood adjustment is really fast.】

"Her" voice was very gentle:

【Besides, are you really willing to abandon the people of now and stay in the past forever?】

It only takes a little inquiry to know that this grand summer wedding is the wedding banquet of the eldest son of the Collins family. And this Mr. Collins who married in 1821 is the Count Collins seen in Vesta City in 1854, 33 years later.

As for the only time traveler Xia De perceived nearby, he was also at this banquet. The Beacon Acorn exerted quite excellent ability. Not long after Xia De adjusted his mood and entered the banquet venue, he saw his target—York Bront.

Or rather, people now call him "Ben Bront". He was not repatriated by Xia De's "Time Return", the time point of repatriation was 1787. The current Ben Bront and his brother, that is, the staff officer Baron Bront of the First Legion of the Royal Army 33 years later, came to attend the wedding together.

The witch also investigated the information of the traditional nobles of Creekwood Town when investigating. Ben Bront died in 1829, which is 8 years from now. And it is obvious that this "Ben Bront" is also not Ben Bront at all, he is still the person who should have lived in 1787.

Even if the era is different, Xia De still stood in the courtyard of the Collins Manor holding a glass of champagne. No matter what secret this Bront has, the trouble Xia De needs to solve most now is the Keeper-level relic Hide and Seek Boy.

"Although I don't know how the game rules will change if Yiluna and I both participate in the game, finding the black ball is always right."

He drank the champagne and was about to act, but suddenly felt a white light flash before his eyes, and then the scene he saw was still the lively wedding banquet, but those vigorous bonfires were gone, and the light illuminating this place was no longer early gas lamps and kerosene lamps but modern gas lamps, and the clothes people wore were also thicker and more modern.

"Eh?"

But it seemed no one noticed Xia De's sudden appearance, because the next moment that white light appeared again, and Xia De faced the "pre-steam era" wedding banquet again.

【Not an illusion, you briefly returned to 1854.】

Xia De understood at once:

"That Keeper-level relic doesn't have the ability to send me to the past completely at all, I am in an unstable time state now!"

This is not a guess, but a fact inferred by Xia De based on the status quo. Even if the relics have their own specialties, according to the time rules of the Sixth Era, it is not something that a Keeper-level relic can easily do to send someone to the past casually. After all, 【Hide and Seek Boy】 is not a simple time-type relic.

After figuring this out, the most important thing to do now seems not to be looking for the black ball, but to try to meet Yiluna in 1854 first. It's just that Xia De doesn't know when he will see 1854 again, and he doesn't know where Yiluna will go:

"Or, I will go directly to find Miss Danister's teacher? Although the tree hole in the forest is normally used as a one-way passage from 1854 to the present, maybe... Speaking of which, since there is no time limit this time, can I go directly to the forest to find the ruin leading to 【Space Maze】 and then go home to take a look?"

【This is also a very dangerous idea.】

"Why? This time it's not traveling through the twisted tree hole, there shouldn't be a rule that you can't leave the Vesta Woodlands area, right?"

It's just that he didn't get to try more of his bolder ideas—for example, to see the baby Galina of this era, as if fate was also preventing Xia De from running around in 1821. Just when he was thinking wildly about the plan, separating the lively banquet crowd, the mature black-haired lady wearing a beige sun hat and a black dress had already walked towards him.

In fact, Xia De didn't notice that someone was walking towards him at first. It wasn't until the lady was about to come to him that he suddenly noticed someone approaching.

Looking up, he saw the lady who was dressed out of place with this banquet. She looked like a mature woman in her thirties, black hair paired with a black long dress looked quite strange, and the leather belt tightly tied to her slender waist and that big beige hat were the things that shouldn't appear at this banquet.

As for the color of her eyes, her eyes were standard rose red like Miss Danister. And realizing this, Xia De understood at once:

"Is it you? I mean, hello, good evening."

The black-haired lady smiled:

"Hello to you too, young man, we meet again."

This mature black-haired lady is the teacher of Miss Danister, the lady who also had thirteen-ring level in the forest when Xia De and Miss Danister accidentally entered 1821 last time.

Xia De didn't see the other party's face last time, but he wouldn't recognize the wrong person. After all, the possibility of a second thirteen-ring female sorcerer appearing in Creekwood Town in this era is not high. Only now can Xia De see her face for the first time, and this lady is also looking at Xia De up and down. She reached out and took a wine glass from the table behind Xia De.

The light of the bonfire made the light and shadow on the lady's face change constantly, and the light and shadow intersected. This hot summer of 1821 really happened many amazing things:

"I was just wondering if I recognized the wrong person, young man, it has only been a week since we last met. Why, do you miss this era so much?"

She said jokingly, and Xia De smiled embarrassedly. When he raised his hand, he noticed that his shadow was also moving:

"I encountered trouble again, this trouble probably needs your help... But may I ask, you appearing here shouldn't be because you received an invitation from the Collins family, right?"

Xia De looked in the direction of the young newlyweds, but then looked at "Ben Bront" again:

"Or because of this person?"

The former librarian lady looked in the direction of Xia De's eyes and nodded gently:

"You and Danister also found problems in your era? Yes, this Bront has problems. After I arrived locally, I had exchanges with the hermits in the forest and bought some strange acorns from them, and then discovered Ben Bront."

But the hermits in 1854 didn't say they had talked to this lady about time travel, but considering that the hermits in 1802 said they wouldn't tell the next generation about the identities and experiences of time travelers, it is also possible that the hermits in 1854 really didn't know about things 33 years ago.

"Ben Bront, a Creekwood Town noble youth with a clear growth trajectory, but he doesn't belong to this era. My purpose of coming locally was originally to find the trace of an astrologer, not because of time travel, and I didn't think about managing the things here. But after meeting you last week, I investigated it out of curiosity."

She stood side by side with Xia De, watching the people attending the summer night banquet with him, and behind them were the stacked champagne tower and fruit platters of various colors.
