Chapter 2896

This afternoon, Xia De, who felt that he had rested enough, originally wanted to go to the underground of the abandoned mine to see. In order to pursue the so-called "Mithril Vein," he saw that "Keeper" for the first time there; he wanted to confirm whether he could find the traces of that special bug again in this way.

It's just that changes are always more than arrangements; just after finishing lunch, news came from the city that an entire street in the old city of Vista City suddenly disappeared in the heavy fog, and then that place became another street that seemed to have been replaced from the past time and space.

Such things were not considered big things in the current Vista Forest, but after investigation, this accident had no traces of any relics or other power participation.

That is to say, this was the first large-scale natural time anomaly accident that occurred within the city area; this was a very important bad signal, representing that the local problem was already imminent.

And the witches' investigation also encountered some small troubles; when Vanessa led a team to survey the mineral veins in the forest this afternoon, two middle-ring girls in the team disappeared inexplicably.

The Great Witches searched for half an afternoon before finding them near the forest area where the "Love Lake" was located, which had already been blocked. But those two girls from the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe only thought that they had been separated from the team for five minutes; they didn't even realize that they had "disappeared."

And Xia De, who was almost called out to find people, was busy dealing with Flora's affairs this afternoon.

Since returning from death last night, the chubby round-faced owl had fallen into a wonderful state of "hibernation."

Because Grandma Cassandra said she was fine, thinking that she was just because the soul power increased too fast and the owl's body couldn't bear it and fell into a protective hibernation, so Xia De went to Moon Bay with peace of mind in the morning.

But seeing that Flora still hadn't woken up in the afternoon, under the suggestion of the knowledgeable Miss Danister, Xia De took her deep into the forest and found the temple of the old god 【Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts】 discovered by the academy a few days ago in the depths of the dense forest.

Although this god went away in the Fifth Era, it was actually hard to say whether he could be considered an evil god. He was the guardian of beasts and a synonym for wildness. In the werewolf group, except for the werewolves who believed in the moon represented by Miss Bister, most other werewolves actually believed in this god.

This old god didn't leave any good reputation in the Fifth Era at all. However, this time in the Vista Forest incident, his believers did not appear locally. But this did not prevent Xia De, Dorothy, and Miss Danister from holding a ritual together according to the ancient ritual recorded in the book to soothe the soul for the owl wrapped in a blanket.

"Meow~"

The cat walked around the owl in the blanket during this process; Xia De really thought that it regarded Flora as a kind. But in this way, when the day Flora's time curse was lifted, this cat would probably be very disappointed.

"Oh, I feel like I've slept for a long time; I hope I haven't missed any important things."

When the owl opened her eyes and subconsciously changed back into human form, she had already returned to her own room on the cruise ship. The feeling of her body was very good, and for a moment she even thought that she had returned to her peak state. But feeling carefully, she in human form was only incomparably close to the eleventh tier, and still a small step away from the true eleventh tier level before being cursed.

But this already showed that the shackles of the "time curse" felt in death yesterday being broken free was not an illusion. She accepted death in death, so the strength of the soul and the blessing of death also made her partially get rid of the effect of the curse.

Turning her head, Flora saw a beautiful girl with brown shawl hair sitting by the table holding a book.

"Megan? How did you... When did you come? Have I slept for a long time?"

The wise twin Great Witch stood up in a panic immediately, somewhat excitedly saying:

"Flora, you actually woke up; I mean you finally woke up! It's been so many years, we all gave up."

"What?"

"But you woke up at a really good time; today Xia De is holding a wedding, we originally left a guest seat for you, hurry up and change your clothes and go with me!"

Flora, who had just woken up, only felt the world spinning:

"What? Sorry, wedding? With whom? Xia De and you?"

Thus, another pair of arms reached out from behind Megan's neck and crossed in front of Megan's chest, and Audrey's head then reached out from behind Megan's head, with a malicious smile on her face:

"He is getting married to whom is temporarily unknown, but it is definitely not you."

"Ah!"

The scream should represent that Flora recovered very well, and Megan and Audrey, who frightened Miss Owl, were scolded by Grandma Cassandra for a long time afterward.

"We just wanted to play a small joke with Flora~"

Flora of course did not sleep until the era when Xia De was even getting married; in fact, when she woke up, it was still Thursday, and it was not even dinner time.

And Megan and Audrey also arrived at Vista Forest this afternoon. The twin sisters brought their followers, drove the cruise ship belonging to "Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals" along the Aronson River, and then parked the cruise ship next to the camouflaged Radiant Messenger.

As soon as the twin witches got on the ship, they came to Flora's room and greeted Xia De who was guarding here. And it was just the short few minutes when Xia De went to the washroom that Miss Owl woke up, which led to Megan and Audrey's "small joke."

Grandma Cassandra checked Flora's body afterward, and also gave the conclusion that the time curse on Flora was significantly reduced—although she was still an owl, she had become a more powerful owl.

And after Flora complained a little about Megan and Audrey, she also summarized the harvest she obtained from her short journey after entering death last night:

"Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey. Some people are waiting, some people hold their heads high and continue forward. Death is not completely cold and without temperature; death is like a small spark in the burnt-out charcoal. I have been fearing that coldness in the past, but now I am willing to try to accept that cold but gentle temperature... just like the Underworld Moon."

In short, just as Xia De speculated, Flora herself had a premonition that as long as she completely got rid of the shackles of the time curse, she could immediately step into the twelfth tier. Although this was already the standard level for the Great Witches in the council who had seen Xia De—removing one oldest and removing one youngest (Vanessa doesn't count), the Great Witch of Death just caught up with everyone's pace, but she was still happy about this matter.

And besides the weakening of the curse, she actually had other harvests. The gift before Kindle and that little dragon left increased Xia De's Qi upper limit, but Flora therefore harvested a new transformation form, which was Transformation-Giant Dragon.

"Unicorn transformation and giant dragon transformation added together, now I can truly be called a master of transformation!"

However, she did not immediately try to transform into a giant dragon; Grandma Cassandra thought she should try to avoid switching between human-owl forms recently to prevent accidents from happening again to the fragile ordinary owl body. Of course, it was not that she couldn't use transformation at all, just not too frequently.

After sorting out her own affairs, when Flora woke up and went to understand the situation outside, she actually felt as if she had slept for many years. Because in just one day, the accidents that happened in Vista Forest were already more than the accidents in the original week.

"Did something happen? Is it the deterioration of time order caused by the departure of that dragon-beast, or is it a landmark event that the Clockmaker defeated a candidate?"

But Xia De thought that these two things could only be considered the last piece of dessert that crushed Little Mia. The matter of Vista Forest had been fermenting for so long, and that balance that was maintained with effort was finally about to be broken.

Centered on the Vista Forest area, starting from this afternoon, time-type accidents of all sizes appeared all over the material world. It seemed that in just one day, "streets being replaced into the appearance of the past," "missing persons from hundreds of years ago suddenly appearing," and even "new grain in the granary turning into old grain" became common things everywhere.

"Wait, how is the last thing a means of corruption?"

During the meeting in the banquet hall of the Radiant Messenger this night, Bella asked Xi Wei who was standing in front of the blackboard with a frown. So the Great Witch of Light nodded and wiped away the words she had just written down.

The information from other places was unified and summarized by the followers of the witches in various places and handed to her. After all, among the eight Great Witches gathered here, although Xi Wei was no longer the one with the highest level, she was still the witch with the highest seat for the time being—the third seat.

"In short, the density of the outbreak of accidents now has exceeded the average value."

Because Flora was participating in this kind of big event for the first time, Xi Wei added:

"The so-called average value refers to the fact that we summarized the accident density in various places before the disaster completely broke out after counting the previous seven big events, and performed a weighted average according to the order of the events. Now the accident density data in various places in the material world has exceeded the warning line we set, and it can basically be considered the initial signal that a big disaster is about to break out."

Besides the ladies of the Witch Council, there were others present, such as Miss Danister. The red-haired girl agreed with this simple data statistical method very much, and she also brought news from the academy:

"The church is asking about Emilia's whereabouts; after the candidate belonging to them was defeated, in name, only Emilia was left in our camp among the seven candidates. Of course, in reality, only five people participated in the Time War, but this is still not good news."
