Chapter 2909: Tree Hole Spell and Returning to the Starting Point

"If time travel doesn't require a great price, then time will seem worthless."

The masked man said, and Xia De was noncommittal:

"Can I inquire about your personal privacy? What is the significance of you helping people travel through time?"

"Are you from the Church?"

"Of course not."

"Then you want to inquire about my identity in reality?"

"This sentence of yours actually exposed the fact that you still exist as an identity in reality."

So the masked man laughed. He probably disguised his voice with potions or spells. At this time, his voice sounded different from anyone Xia De knew:

"Do you know, young man, everyone has regrets. Even kings wearing crowns, or those powerful thirteen-ringed shushi, definitely have regrets in their past lives.

Some people regard regrets as the process of their lives, as a part of their composition, but more people want to make up for their regrets. I opened this transit station for this reason. I don't force people who come here to trade, but most people will eventually sign their names on these papers."

He pushed the two pieces of paper in front of Xia De, and Xia De looked down again:

"Allow me to have some curiosity. Have you been engaged in this work for many years? I mean, how many people have you sent to the past and future over the years?"

"You want to probe my origin? No, no, this question cannot be answered."

"Then can you send me to any time?"

Xia De changed the question:

"For example, can I go to the first era to see, or go to the next era to see?"

Although he couldn't see the expression, Xia De was very sure that the face behind the mask must be smiling:

"I don't have such powerful power. Tracing back to the past, I can let you go to the 500th year of the Sixth Era at the furthest. Towards the future... no, starting from last year, this place no longer provides tickets to the future."

"Last year... because of the start of "Whispering Poetry"? I heard that since the appearance of the first Chosen One in Tobesk, many things in the material world have started to change."

"Guest, you have so many questions."

He put away the two documents:

"I won't take back the invitation letter you used. You can go back and think about whether to sign your name. I don't force anyone to make a choice."

"Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Church?"

"Then how will the Church find me?"

The masked man asked, so Xia De also laughed:

"That's true, and such a convenient place, I don't want to..."

He had roughly figured out the situation here, and the next step was the investigation of the real world. He clearly came here because of the Deck of Infinite Variety, but he didn't expect such a big harvest.

It didn't matter if he couldn't figure out who the Bennett in front of him was. He wanted to bring the things he saw here back and let the diviner ladies try to find some clues.

It was just that when Xia De was holding the table and wanted to stand up, he suddenly thought of another thing:

"Speaking of which, I was entrusted by someone to find someone when I came to this city, but there has been no news so far."

"I don't accept commissions for finding people here."

"I mean, that person can't be found no matter what. I even entrusted a professional diviner to divine, but couldn't find him. I was originally very puzzled about where the other party went, but since I have seen this Time Transit Station, is it possible..."

Xia De looked at the black mask:

"He has already left our time and space through you?"

The masked man crossed his fingers and placed them on the table:

"You want to buy information about my former guests?"

"Yes, so do you sell it?"

"What is the name of the person you want to find?"

Xia De hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"You know that famous Miss Winslet who lives in the city now, right? I was entrusted by the Winslet family to find the youngest son of the current Earl Winslet, Anthony Winslet. I actually guess that Miss Flora Winslet came here for this purpose too. After all, Earl Winslet is old, and now it is time to choose a successor."

The masked man was silent for a moment:

"I remember this person, Anthony Winslet. He first appeared here in the spring of 1844, and it took two months to make up his mind to leave 'now'."

"What time did he go to? How can I get him back? Or rather, do you have a way to get him back?"

Xia De asked again, not expecting such an unexpected joy. Now Earl Winslet's body had problems, and Flora didn't want her father to inherit the title, so she wanted to find her missing uncle to support her aunt. However, there had been no clues at all, and coupled with being occupied by other things, even the owl lady herself was about to give up.

But the masked man shook his head:

"I won't reveal the secrets of these guests. I am just a businessman, giving those who want to make up for regrets a second chance. From my ancestors, we have welcomed countless people, watched countless stories. Even if you can travel through time, life always has regrets, isn't it?"

"Since you are willing to tell me he has been here, you must not be just kind. Say it, what price can make you answer my question. Money? Precious relics? Or some secret information? As a Ringed Shushi, I still have some abilities."

Xia De actually wanted to ask "Do you want to play a game of Luo De Pai to decide the winner," but was worried that this would expose his purpose. After all, normal people couldn't make such a suggestion at this time.

And the masked man obviously belonged to a normal person. He spread his palms to Xia De:

"I won't let people I don't trust do things for me, especially since you haven't decided whether to trade with me. Time is a very charming thing. Take ten standard units of time sand, and I can temporarily open a two-way door to the time where Anthony Winslet is for you."

"Standard unit" is a unit to describe how much time sand there is. That kind of peculiar sand has no weight at all, so it cannot be used with mass units like "pounds."

"This amount is really not small, but it's not impossible to get. But how can I see you again? Come back next Saturday? I am in a hurry, and looking at the current situation in Vista City, whether it can exist next week is really uncertain."

The masked man thought for a while:

"Let's set a time, when can you prepare the time sand?"

"Today is Saturday... how about tomorrow night?"

"So fast? Alright, use the invitation letter again tomorrow night, I will wait for you here."

Xia De stood up, but didn't leave immediately:

"One last question, can I see your face? I always feel that you give me a very familiar..."

The masked man also stood up. In the steam mist and the sound of the steam whistle clock, the eight-ring life ring appeared behind him, which was the same level as Xia De. It's just that his life ring was not made of brass, but of wood.

As for his core spiritual runes, there were three in total: Miracle-Tree, Enlightenment-Time, Enlightenment-Contract.

He didn't want to fight Xia De immediately, but with the appearance of his life ring, it seemed that the whole time and space were mobilized by him. Even if Xia De could be immune to almost all time-type effects, he still felt a sense of danger at this time.

In other words, even if he wanted to fight this person in front of him, he absolutely couldn't do it in this kind of space.

"Probably my illusion."

Xia De thought for a while and shook his head:

"Then see you tomorrow... By the way, a friend's twin children went missing locally a few years ago. Do you know any clues about this?"

This was a misleading question. The question he just raised would definitely arouse suspicion, so instead of letting the other party suspect that he was a Ringed Shushi specifically investigating this place, it was better to add a few more confusing options.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Then it's fine, see you tomorrow night... Do I go out from the direction of the door, or from the direction of the stairs?"

Xia De asked again, and the masked man pointed to the direction of the hotel gate:

"Guest, welcome to your next visit."

Passing through the open black door frame, Xia De felt the surroundings shake again. But this time Xia De felt it very clearly, that was not the shaking of the ground but the shaking of the whole time and space.

When he looked around again, he had returned to that dim and lightless alley. After sensing the time, only one second had passed since he stepped into the "door" just now.

"Faster than the time key."

Turning around to look behind him, there was indeed no "black hole" on the wall, only the black invitation letter slipped from the wall. Xia De took the invitation letter and left the place immediately to prevent being tracked back.

It was just that he was still thinking in his heart:

"The 'Time Transit Station' is a space with a fixed position but completely static time... Does this sound familiar? You say, is that special space just now opened by the 【Tree Hole Spell】?"

【Tree Hole Spell】 was obtained when Xia De completed the time key of "Ash Valley" and asked the Tree Father for help. Of course, he only obtained relevant information and not the divine spell itself.

The function of this divine spell is to create a static space inside a big tree to store items that are easily affected by time, such as food. Not long ago, in that dragon beast nest, Xia De and the witches discovered that Kindel's corpse was stored using a tree hole.

But obviously, the hint given by the Tree Father to Xia De was certainly not just because of that corpse.

【If it is really the Tree Hole Spell, then this basic divine spell has been developed to an astonishing degree.】

"Yes, astonishing, so I don't think it's the work of a certain Bennett."

The silver cat jumped nimbly on the roof:

"Things are becoming more and more interesting. I came here to find Miss Deng En, but unexpectedly discovered the Bennett that the mermaid mentioned. Now I have circled around the city, and the final investigation has returned to Bennett." ===== CHAPTER 2910 =====
