Chapter 2690: Spirit Board Tree Hole

Miss McCona was clearly not only good at using power related to emotions. Having returned to normal, she obviously saw that Xia De was very interested in this miracle, after all, this was also the first miracle Xia De had encountered that consumed according to a percentage.

"Are you interested in 【Body of Courage】? The spellcasting materials required for this secret art are very simple. Each casting requires 10 inches (about 25.4cm) of your own hair. And please remember, there must be no thought of cowardice during the spellcasting, otherwise, you will immediately return to your original state and fall into a state of weakness.

During the time you are away by boat, I will write down the learning method of this secret art for you. Please don't be polite to me, this is my gratitude to you."

Xia De did not refuse her kindness. After entering 1854, he was always fighting enemies whose size was larger than his, but he didn't want to turn into a Moonlight Dragon to face the enemy every time.

His strength might not be inferior to those enemies, but fighting large targets with a small body was ultimately at a disadvantage. If he could master such a witch secret art, at least if he faced a Death Apostle again, even if the other party prepared a flesh body for combat, Xia De could win more smoothly.

With the "tears of despair," all that was left was the warmth of the soul. Based on the principle of "whoever's business it is, pays for the boat ticket," this soul warmth clearly needed to be paid by Mr. Nelson himself.

But Ms. Brock refused to cast the spell:

"Extracting the warmth of the soul requires direct touch, and I am not willing to touch a man."

However, she was not trying to stop this matter:

"Aren't you the hero who holds the fire chosen by the nun? Can't you do it yourself?"

"I remember I said that my nun... didn't teach me this."

Ms. Brock of course still remembered this point:

"Yes, yes, I really don't know what your nun is thinking.

So let me teach you. For those who have mastered the First Fire, this method is easy to master, just as if you have learned to walk, you will soon learn to run. You have already learned skills from your sister, so you shouldn't mind learning from me again, right?"

The teaching method of this 13th-tier witch was quite simple. She raised her right hand to show Xia De, then placed her right hand on her chest. Two seconds later, the right hand was removed, and the air in the palm turned pale yellow and appeared to be twisting, which represented the heat of the soul:

"Witch Secret Art - Inner Fire, this is the starting point of many secret methods of the fire-holding nuns, representing the influence of fire on the outside world. My sister said that the starting point of this secret art originated from the initial era. This secret art is quite easy to use, it's just a pity that no matter whose soul the temperature is extracted from, it can only act on the caster himself.

Alright, I have demonstrated it, try it yourself."

Xia De was somewhat surprised:

"Wait a minute, you just demonstrated the power, but what about the teaching?"

Ms. Brock was also very surprised:

"Teaching? If you really have talent, won't you learn it after watching it once? In our era, judging the talent of witches is done this way."

Saying this, she pulled Xia De's right hand and pressed it against Xia De's chest. With the flow of the witch's spirit, it drove Xia De's right hand, which was not resisting, to also appear with traces similar to the secret art.

The First Fire seemed very willing to respond to this kind of power, so a few seconds later, Ms. Brock withdrew her hand, and Xia De also took his hand away from his chest, and then saw a group of jumping golden warm light appear in his palm.

【Outlander, you have mastered the Curse - Inner Fire. Extract the temperature of the soul of yourself or other individuals. This temperature can warm the soul, increase fire resistance, increase curse resistance, and increase instant death resistance. Note: Extracting the soul temperature of the same individual multiple times will lead to serious damage to the soul.】

【Affected by the "Divine Radiance" effect, you can share the extracted soul temperature with anyone.】

"You see, I said this kind of teaching is very normal."

Ms. Brock said, and Xia De nodded somewhat slowly:

"I am thinking, how should I explain this to my nun when I go back? Last time she looked like she was angry... Why is my soul temperature golden?"

"Because your soul is very strong and contaminated with the power of gods."

The knowledgeable 13th-tier witch said, and then taught Xia De to stuff the group of warm light back into his own body.

Although the temperature itself was taken from himself, when the temperature returned, Xia De still felt his spirit shake violently, and then thought that this curse could be completely used to improve the efficiency of staying up late.

The next thing was very simple. Xia De cast a spell to extract some of Mr. Nelson's soul temperature and sealed it in a card. Because Mr. Nelson was an ordinary person, he immediately expressed that his body felt a little cold after the spell was cast on him, but fortunately, there was no other influence besides that.

So the two men said goodbye to Ms. Brock and Miss McCona, who was focusing on writing witch secret art materials for Xia De. After handing the two cards to the boatman, the small boat carried them slowly toward the depths of the dark water area.

Although it was not the first time to take a boat, Xia De still looked at the darkness around him with great interest. Mr. Nelson sat opposite him, covering his face, and only asked Xia De when the campfire on the beach was just a dim light spot:

"Sir, even if you can persuade my wife not to leave, can she still return to normal? I don't worry about your strength, but I worry that one day, she will take the initiative to come here again."

Xia De, who was looking at the scenery, withdrew his gaze from the fog that suddenly appeared in front:

"So I want to confirm first, what kind of end of the world your wife saw. I still don't understand what she encountered, I just hope it's not the worst kind of situation."

After the boat sailed into the fog area, the monotonous sound of water disappeared. The voyage in the fog was quite short, and Xia De was very curious. The first two times he went to "Death" and the Vesta Woodland of the Fifth Era, because the locations of the events were near the water, the small boat could appear reasonably, but the matter of the Nelson family did not happen by the river.

"So how does the small boat approach? Or do we have to get off the boat and walk for a distance?"

And soon he understood. As the small boat sailed out of the white fog, Mr. Nelson screamed immediately. Even Xia De stood up halfway in surprise, watching the small boat sail out of the sea of stars, along the strange "river" paved with starlight, toward a small apartment in the prosperous city night view below, illuminated by gas lamps.

"Well, the galaxy is also a river, this is very reasonable."

The city appearance of the Fifth Era was quite similar to the Sixth Era 1854, the steam industry was quite developed, pipes were set up in every corner of the city, and even the skyline was decorated with steam factory chimneys and messy pipelines.

The difference was that even though it was night now, one could see witches riding magic carpets or flying alone in the air. There were many more spellcasters in this era than in the next era. Of course, they couldn't see this small boat sailing out of the sea of stars.

The small boat sailed much more steadily in the air than on the real water surface. Finally, it docked outside the attic window of a small apartment, allowing the two people sitting at the stern to just see the scene in the attic through the glass.

"This is my home."

Mr. Nelson explained in a low voice, and then moved aside to let Xia De get a better view. He knew that everything depended on Xia De.

The lights in the window were not turned on, but soon the attic door was opened, and a middle-aged woman walked up holding a huge spirit board. She looked about the same age as Mr. Nelson, but probably because she always worked indoors and was very good at maintaining her skin, she looked much younger than Mr. Nelson.

She still didn't turn on the attic lights, but placed the spirit board under the moonlight projected from the window, and sat directly on the floor herself.

Xia De originally thought he had to wait a while, but didn't expect that in the next second, a large group of white mist suddenly emerged from the small window in the center of the wooden spirit board—that was the decoration of the spirit board, and then Mrs. Nelson disappeared without a trace.

"What does this mean? How did she disappear?"

Mr. Nelson, who couldn't see the white mist, immediately asked Xia De for advice, and Xia De asked the "boatman" incredulously:

"Wait, if I didn't understand wrong, that lady went to... the end? That piece of wood is a tree hole?!"

The boatman didn't answer this question. After all, he was only responsible for transporting the two in this matter. Facing Xia De's question, the god just handed him the oar in his hand.

Xia De was stunned for a moment before getting up to take the oar:

"Since you don't answer, I will assume it is. But this is a bit too exaggerated. Did this kind of thing appear in the early Fifth Era?"

"May I ask what it is?"

Mr. Nelson still didn't understand.

"This is hard to explain. I can only say that your wife is very lucky."

"Lucky?"

"Since ancient times, not many people who disappeared for this reason have been able to come back. And the place she went to, I find it even harder to imagine how she, an ordinary person, managed to come back... Let's go back first... You said that spirit board was returned to the Association of Diviners by you?"

This was the first tree hole Xia De encountered outside Vesta Woodland. After knowing the existence of unreasonable things like "twisted tree holes" in Vesta Woodland, he asked the girls around whether major organizations had appeared such things. Luweiya was of course also asked, and the purple-eyed diviner lady replied at the time that the Association of Diviners had no records about tree holes.

Considering the long time, Xia De believed that in the Sixth Era 1854, that spirit board might really have disappeared. But he also believed that the Association of Diviners probably knew about the coming of the end of the world in the Fifth Era.

It's just that I don't know if the creation of the Luo Luo De Pai system by President Luo De of the Sixth Era, in an attempt to re-weave, connect, and stabilize the material world through the enlightenment elements of the Luo Luo De Pai, has anything to do with this. ===== CHAPTER 2691 =====
