Chapter 2764: The Way Home

~10 min read 1,932 words

Time travel has never been a simple matter. Although Xia De has experienced multiple time travels in the Vista Forest, they all relied on the power of the "Twisted Tree Hole."

But if the power of that tree hole is used correctly, it can only allow the user to go from "now" to "past." As for the return process, it can be regarded as repatriation.

Therefore, Xia De, who is in 1821, cannot use the power of the "Twisted Tree Hole" to return from 1821 to 1854. Of course, he can also use the power of the tree hole incorrectly like a "Time Cursed One," but this will only strengthen the local time instability, and how to open the tree hole is also a matter of luck.

As for the magic "Time Return," unfortunately, this magic only works on targets other than Xia De. Just like the basic spell "Move Object" does not work on itself, Xia De cannot push himself back to 1854... Moreover, his time stamp is 1821, and he is not considered a person of 1854 at this time.

On the way back to the residence of Lady Helena Carter in the forest by the flying carpet, Xia De also told this lady who cared about him about his experience on Wednesday night, the 15th of the Leaf-Falling Month, 1854.

He blurred all information related to time, so as to avoid affecting the future. Other things were told in all details.

He was originally worried that discussing the evil thing in this forest would be too risky, but after thinking about it, a person with such obvious curse traces appearing abruptly didn't cause any reaction, so simple discussion should be fine.

Xia De's story was told all the way, until the two landed on the platform in the tree house, he told about the demon being defeated, and then he was exiled into the crack of time by that black giant tree, and finally landed in this era.

"I am actually very worried about my friend now, and I don't know how he is after being knocked away."

Xia De said this, and walked into the door with the black-haired female warlock.

I don't know what spell the lady used when building the tree house, and whether it was the same as Amelia's. Xia De looked carefully this time, and always felt that whether it was the layout of the house or the style of the house, this room was very similar to Amelia's three-story tree house more than thirty years later.

The tree house was obviously for single use, so the indoor area was not large, so Xia De sat directly at the table. The black-haired lady also sat down, the teapot flew to the charcoal stove to heat up automatically, and she said with concern:

"The academy also accommodates some relics that can allow you to return to the correct time point. You can wait a few days, and I will borrow those relics to try."

"Thank you for your kindness, but repatriation-type relics are probably useless to me. My situation is a bit special."

He introduced his characteristic of being accepted by all time points again, so the thirteen-ring female warlock doubted whether Xia De really belonged to 1854, but she just doubted it a little:

"There are not many legal ways to travel through time left in the current era. What are your own thoughts?"

"Time Key. I am guessing whether I will be sent back to 1821 now or 1854 thirty years later when I return. But this also has problems. I promised to use the key with another girl. If I break my promise, it is very easy to cause a time paradox."

This time it was really troublesome. Of course, there was another way, which was for Xia De to live from 1821 to 1854. He only needed to wait for 33 years to see Luvia and Little Mia again... Thinking about this method is terrible.

Of course, Xia De's current situation is at least much better than Danister and Flora back then. They traveled through the tree hole, so they couldn't leave the Vista Forest. But Xia De was exiled, so he came to this era semi-legally, so he could go wherever he wanted.

In short, there is no rush to go back. If Xia De can really find a way to go back, for everyone in 1854, he just disappeared for a few seconds or hours.

The night is deep. It doesn't make sense to discuss it tonight. And seeing that Lady Helena Carter has been busy for him all night, Xia De suggested to rest tonight and think of a way tomorrow.

The black-haired lady nodded, and considering that Xia De had just recovered, she suggested:

"You sleep in my bed. Although you said you have fully recovered, it is impossible for that degree of ancient curse not to leave sequelae."

"This is not necessary, I brought a bed with me."

He had everything in his luggage, and of course, he had furniture like a wooden bed. So he put down his bedding at a position far from the single bed, and took out a curtain to separate the room from the center.

Seeing him so skillfully doing this, the female warlock didn't refuse, and then the two rested after washing up.

The night was deep. Although Xia De didn't feel tired, he was physically and mentally exhausted after the battle with the demon and the curse, and he fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down. The female warlock lying on her side under the window was not so tired. She listened to Xia De's breathing gradually becoming stable, and then tilted her body slightly, letting herself look at the black shadow behind the curtain.

There is one thing she didn't actually say. Just now in that temple, when she saw the statue hugging Xia De and kissing his forehead, although the scene was quite sacred, more sacred than any religious mural she had ever seen in a church, she clearly felt that it didn't look like a god blessing a mortal, nor did it look like a mother blessing a child, but rather like...

She shook her head hurriedly to shake off her wild thoughts, for fear that her blasphemous thoughts would cause other troubles.

However, perhaps because of the wild thoughts before going to sleep, she actually dreamed of Xia De kissing her forehead in her dream that night.

This dream was a bit too inexplicable, and she refused to talk about it with anyone.

A night's sleep passed quickly. When the sunlight of the midsummer morning in 1821 spilled toward the tree house, Helena Carter was actually awakened by the smell of breakfast.

That smell drifted from outside the window. When she changed her clothes and walked out of the wooden house to the platform, she saw that breakfast was already set on the wooden table, and there were even black tea and snacks. Xia De was holding a teacup at this time, sitting at the table in the chirping of birds, looking at the forest scenery from this height. He could probably understand Amelia's feelings every morning.

The female warlock looked at Xia De's back, feeling that he was almost integrated with the morning scenery in the forest. This feeling was very strange, as if he had also become a part of this forest, so she thought of the characteristic of "natural affinity" that only appeared in a few alien species such as elves.

"Is this breakfast and black tea snacks prepared by you?"

The black-haired lady asked with a smile, and Xia De turned around when he heard the voice:

"I don't have such craftsmanship. This was summoned by my magic. A ruby and a green gem are enough."

"Fiona's Housekeeping Servant"—ruby or blood diamond, red dragon, good at cooking and kitchen work; green gem or precious jade, green dragon, good at living room cleaning, black tea brewing, and snack preparation. Xia De usually used rubies to exchange for rich meals. This time, it was to thank Lady Helena Carter for her care last night that he thought of the green gem.

The female warlock didn't say Xia De was wasteful, but sat down after thanking him with a smile.

Neither of them immediately discussed Xia De's return, but ate breakfast with peace of mind. After breakfast, the plates, knives, forks, and teacups disappeared together. Presumably, there would be a dragon girl to clean them. Xia De then talked about the business:

"I thought about it carefully this morning. Most legal time travel means cannot be separated from the power of gods. As for this forest, the temple located on the top of the hill might be able to help me, or there is a temple ruin of the Old God 'Door of Flare' in the forest. That Old God has time and space power, maybe there is a way to help me."

He actually thought of the hermits in the forest, but after thinking about it carefully, the methods they took out could not be separated from the tree hole:

"I want to go to these two places to have a look."

"I'll go with you."

The black-haired female warlock elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief:

"You should know that I came here originally for the astrologer Euclid, but even after traveling through time to the future, I didn't find more clues.

Anyway, there is nothing else to do, so I will go with you. However, isn't the one on the top of the hill a music hall? Is that the temple of the ancient god?"

In 1821, the Vista City is in a period of rapid expansion. History books consider this period to be the early era of the steam revolution, and even the small town in the forest is constantly expanding the city's territory with this prosperous development wave.

In this era, the accordion hotel operated by the Bennett family has been established, and the "Golden Music Hall" has also taken shape. This music hall, which will be famous throughout the Old Continent thirty years later, will not be fully completed until the thirties more than ten years later, so its appearance today is somewhat different from what Xia De saw in 1854.

However, considering the distance, Xia De first went to the temple ruins of the Old God "Door of Flare" with Miss Carter, which was the decisive battle site where he fought two against one with George Conde & Lady Shatala on a late autumn night more than thirty years later.

Finding it is not difficult, and the stone archway is still entangled by emerald vines like many years later. Today, in midsummer, the vegetation is lush, and there is no clearing for young people to hold parties here. If you don't look for it carefully, it is easy to ignore the archway under the cover of trees.

The female warlock who had never been here was very curious and searched around, while Xia De walked under the archway and touched the severely weathered stones, and then took out the Staff of Yggdrasil and knocked around.

"Well, this place is probably useless to me."

He didn't know how the demon activated the power of this archway at that time. This probably also had something to do with that evil thing, after all, part of the power of the Old God 【Door of Flare】 came directly from the Tree Father. ===== CHAPTER 2765 =====
