Chapter 2826: Confused Time and Space

~10 min read 1,940 words

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia De. Xia De didn't choose to wait:

"If it really is just a simple Sage-level relic, of course, we don't need to solve the trouble. That ancient tree man's combat power is not strong. Now the church has at least three thirteenth-ring sorcerers in the urban area. But it happens to be this time, and it happens that the trees have problems. We cannot treat this event as a simple relic out of control."

He looked at Luweiya:

"I need to know whether the body of the relic is in the forest or in the city. Although it is said that the poisonous fog came from outside the city, the tree man who is the body may not necessarily remain in the forest."

Luweiya nodded:

"No problem, I will prepare for divination. However, it is the core of a Sage-level relic, so I cannot directly divine the other party's position, so it will take some time."

"Luweiya, then I'll trouble you. Flora, you continue to wait here for new news from outside the city, don't go out for the time being, I will go to the nearest natural church."

"Go to the church?"

Flora raised her eyebrows:

"But in what capacity are you going?"

"God-caller. I will go out with Miss Dannister, and come back quickly."

Miss Dannister was casting spells on the windows at this time. After Xia De found her, the eighteen-year-old girl also agreed to Xia De's plan:

"Are we leaving now? Wear this."

She took a rabbit-shaped pin from her pocket and pinned it on Xia De's collar:

"Sage-level relic 【Rabbit Mask】, I got a lot of camouflage relics from the Academy to prevent the church's thirteenth-ring sorcerers from seeing that my state is wrong once I hand over with them."

Xia De was actually very curious why a pin would be called a "mask," but he wasn't surprised after thinking about its camouflage effect.

Little Mia was left in the hotel, and before going out, Miss Dannister cast "Bubble-Head Charm" to eliminate the influence of the miasma outside for the two.

The green miasma on the streets of the city is now very thick. Even if it has been filtered by bubbles, these miasmas can penetrate into the body through pores and cause people to enter a dream. Fortunately, if it is only such a dose, it does not constitute a threat to Xia De and Miss Dannister.

As for letting Miss Dannister and the "God-caller" appear together this time, there is no need to worry about exposing her relationship with the God-caller. After all, before Miss Felianna appeared, the church had clearly suspected that Saint Byrons had a close relationship with the "God-caller."

The two didn't choose to walk, but the female sorcerer, who had recovered to the ninth ring at this time, carried Xia De and the cat and flew into the high altitude. The poisonous fog was slightly thinner in the higher night sky, so the two circled the city for a whole circle before landing at the door of the local natural church.

Miss Dannister went to knock on the door and stated her identity. The fifth-ring sorcerer who opened the door nodded in surprise, and then looked curiously at the handsome man behind the legendary "Red Moon Witch," before going to find someone in the church.

Not long after, a familiar lady came to greet Xia De, who was not a stranger to Xia De. The thirteenth-ring sorcerer of the Natural Church, "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria, this lady is a good friend of Sister Devlin and has appeared in many major events in the past.

"Professor Dannister, please come in. It's a great help that you appear in the city now."

The female sorcerer with some green eyeshadow on her eyes greeted with a smile, and then looked at Xia De on the side:

"This gentleman is handsome, but he shouldn't be the elf lady from your Academy, right?"

"This is the God-caller, I... met him on the road."

Miss Dannister said according to Xia De's instructions just now, and then looked at Xia De, finding that Xia De had no expression at all.

So the female sorcerer who was good at dream operation also nodded to Xia De:

"I have heard your name many times and have seen your figure in battle. This counts as the first formal meeting, right? Good evening, God-caller, please come in together, this trouble is not small at all."

Just like Xia De's guess in the hotel, the matter tonight is not as simple as a Sage-level relic out of control. And the church can confirm this because the defensive ritual arranged by the Five Gods Church around the city against relics, demons, undead, etc., had no reaction to the approach of such thick poisonous miasma.

You know, the large-scale divine rituals arranged in major cities on the Old Continent today are all carefully designed according to the local environment and combined with the location of the church. Not to mention the derivatives sprayed by Sage-level relics, even Angel-level relics or even Unknown-level relics can be detected.

But this time, until now, the defense and investigation rituals have not been triggered in the slightest, which explains that this relic is very abnormal.

At the same time, the advance team sent by the church to the local area this time is not all stationed in the city. Two-thirds of the ring sorcerers are actually outside the city, searching and repairing ancient buildings scattered in the forest with the three major academies.

And after the incident tonight, the ring sorcerers outside the city first established contact with the city through special methods, and then tried to send people directly into the city, but they didn't reach "Vesta City," but went to a quiet town without any miasma after passing through the thick fog.

And the name of the town is Creekwood Town.

"Passing through the miasma from outside the city, it's not the present? But I haven't heard that this kind of relic has the power of time travel."

"The team that entered the town has all withdrawn, and they shouldn't risk entering the miasma again later. We also received an order from the Holy See, strictly forbidding anyone from going outside the city before the miasma disappears."

"Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria led the two into the interior of the church. The church is also very lively tonight. People who have woken up are trying to wake up the ring sorcerers who are still asleep. But more people are preparing for battle. The church knows more than they do.

The visitors tonight, besides them, there are others. The five churches in the city have all contacted and discussed a plan. This event is handled jointly by the Natural Church and the Sun Church, and the remaining three churches are responsible for protecting the safety of citizens in the fog as much as possible.

Therefore, when Xia De and Miss Dannister entered the conference room inside the church, Iluna was already here.

All five churches in the city have thirteenth-ring sorcerers stationed, and the person who came with Iluna is not Mr. Pierre Granger who "sacrificed" and then "resurrected" in the Moon Bay battle, but Mr. Gareth Sander, "Thunder's Fury," who appeared in the Battle of Pantanal (Chapter 1121).

Xia De had only heard the name of this gentleman, and this was the first time he met him. He originally thought this was a sturdy middle-aged man, but Mr. Sander was actually a gray-haired, thin old man, which was inconsistent with the impression that the title "Thunder's Fury" gave people.

But the thirteenth-ring sorcerers present were not just "Thunder's Fury" and "Nightmare Witch." A ring-shaped table was arranged in the center of the conference room of the Natural Church. Opposite Iluna sat a... knight who looked about thirty-five years old with a serious expression.

Although he was wearing a neat black formal suit, anyone who saw his appearance would think he was a knight.

"This is the 'Sky Blade' from the beginning of the era."

Miss Maria introduced in a low voice, but the other party's griffin didn't appear in the conference room, but it should also be in the church.

Seeing Miss Maria leading people in, the people in the conference room all stood up. Many people here knew Miss Dannister, but except for Iluna, no one knew Xia De. After hearing Miss Dannister introduce the "met by chance" God-caller again, people were just surprised, and then signaled the two to take their seats.

Before Xia De and the two arrived, the Natural Church and the Sun Church were discussing how to solve the problem.

It has been investigated that the urban area of Vesta City is completely shrouded in green fog miasma, and the dream-entering characteristics shown by the fog miasma are consistent with the relic characteristics recorded.

Although the fog miasma itself is suspected of causing time dislocation, people in the city haven't sent anyone close to the boundary, but through relics or thaumaturgy like 【Crow's Eye】 that can see through the fog, they can observe the outside.

The good news is that the outside of the city is still a dense forest, but the bad news is that it is snowing heavily in the forest outside, and judging from the snow accumulation, this snow obviously didn't just fall. Coupled with the report from the team outside the city, there was no such weather in the forest area tonight, so it can be determined that the snowy forest is not the current time and space.

"The time inside and outside the city is different, but there are not two times, but three times."

The twelfth-ring sorcerer responsible for introducing the latest situation cast a spell to manifest three bubbles above the conference table, and the scenes in the three bubbles were different:

"The 'Creekwood Town' entered by the team outside the city has no snow at all, and judging from the temperature, it is summer. Therefore, 'Creekwood Town entered from outside the city,' 'the present we belong to,' and 'the snowy forest observed inside the city' belong to three different times and spaces. The order given to us by the Holy See is to try not to touch the other two times and spaces, and try to solve the trouble in the current time and space."

The church is very sure that the Sage-level relic 【Dream Tree】 absolutely does not have time characteristics, let alone the power to confuse three times at once. Therefore, the church, which also knows the secrets in the forest, and Xia De reached the same conclusion - the matter tonight is related to the oldest tree in the forest.

The city cannot interfere with the normal time and space outside the city, which means that the church in the city only needs to deal with the matters in the urban area.

Although they know that falling into a dream for a long time will lead to serious problems, the church doesn't intend to wake people up for the time being. The Dawn Church, the Creation Church, and the Peace Church are specifically letting high-ring sorcerers detect areas with abnormal whisper element concentrations, and first transfer the people nearby.

As for solving the problem, because it is not certain where the tree man who is the body of the relic is, the divination of the prophets in the city has no results, so the Natural Church and the Sun Church intend to send teams to patrol the entire urban area. ===== CHAPTER 2827 =====
