Chapter 2926: Growing Elf and Witch Approaching Demigod

~10 min read 1,839 words

"Adele's Time Stasis: Crystal Form" was not to turn the object into eternal crystal, so as long as Xia De canceled the spell, the target could return to normal. However, Xia De found that in this strange crystal state, the time resistance of the static target was greatly improved, and it could even be said to be immune to all time effects except his own.

Ordinary "Time Stasis" only stopped the target and did not increase time resistance. So Xia De guessed that this was the effect of the strange Mystical Lock, which was like wrapping a crystal outer garment on the static target. The frozen time would indeed not flow again.

And the fact that the spirit consumed to maintain the special form of time stasis became less, Xia De also guessed it was related to this. After all, Dorothy had also said that the miracle "Crystal Touch" did not need to consume any spirit to maintain this state after turning everything into eternal crystal.

"Really beautiful."

To prevent Miss Isabella from arriving early, Xia De had breakfast in the hotel today. During breakfast, Dorothy evaluated the apple in Xia De's hand:

"It's not completely turned into crystal, but wrapped in a translucent crystal shell outside the apple's original luster. This is even more beautiful than complete crystallization. A crystallized apple is just a dead object, but the apple in your hand can see the vitality frozen at that moment."

The green eyes moved to Xia De:

"If one day we encounter misfortune, maybe you can turn our..."

"Princess Lei Qianya!"

Xia De warned her sternly. This sentence was enough for him to judge who was speaking.

Sitting at the hotel dining table today were Xia De, Dorothy, Luvia, Amelia, Ajelina, Miss Danister, and Miss O'Lannod. Although there were not as many people eating together as on the ship, it still looked very warm.

After breakfast, Miss Danister got the processing report of the "rift" event at the canyon outside the city from the academy. According to the clues provided by Xia De, the Creation Sect had found relevant information about the ancient mausoleum storage building and was currently planning the procurement of building materials, expecting to completely repair the black building after the Vista Forest event ended.

"They should still ask you for help then."

After breakfast, everyone went to Xia De's room to sit down and listen to Amelia introduce her story in the Fifth Era together. Everyone had heard some of it at the banquet last night, but the most critical question was for Amelia to talk to Xia De herself.

The little elf sat in the center of the long sofa, with Miss Danister and Miss O'Lannod on her sides, which made her appear extra nervous. The maids moved stools so that others could sit down, and Xia De's most concerned question was naturally how much combat power the Eight-Ring elf had now:

"Among the seven candidates for the War of Time, the Twin Princes in fourth place, Mr. Yuri Aston of the Natural Church in sixth place, and Luvia in seventh place have all withdrawn. The identities of the first and third places are still unknown, and the Clockmaker in fifth place has returned."

"Amelia, your candidate ranking is second, and your talent is in the forefront of everyone. You still have three enemies to deal with."

"The 'masked person' Xia De met in the Time Transit Station is also likely one of the candidates. The good news is that the other party is also an Eight-Ring."

Luvia reminded, and then looked at Xia De:

"Xia De thinks the other party is the third place."

"Then who is the first place?"

Amelia asked, looking at the forest in the distance outside the window very worriedly:

"Should... not be that tree, right?"

After two years of study, Amelia was not just promoted to Eight-Ring. Because of Xia De's face, in addition to daily classes at the academy, Miss Feilian gave her extra one-on-one courses, and the teachers who taught her, besides the professors of the academy, even included witches outside the academy who were proficient in space-time power.

The little elf was not a witch, but she could indeed learn most of the witch secret arts. Due to the rules of the "War of Time," she mastered those knowledge and powers even more easily. It was just that after the War of Time, the part of the power that was not completely mastered by her would still disappear without a trace.

However, at least now, Amelia had become a qualified time-series mage through the "crash course." Ordinary Eight-Ring mages definitely couldn't beat her, but it was a pity that her opponent this time was not an ordinary mage.

"And 【Elven Kingship】."

The little elf said and held up the silver crown again:

"In addition to being able to maintain the Thirteen-Ring resistance state, if I don't draw power to become a Thirteen-Ring while wearing the crown, then my level will not change, and I can use this crown to perform many over-level spells."

"This kind of spellcasting that exceeds the level can let her exert power close to an Eleven-Tier witch."

Miss O'Lannod introduced:

"Although Teacher Feilian thinks Amelia's normal level is not enough to graduate from St. Byrons, she is barely qualified while wearing the crown."

"In addition to theoretical study, these two years we let Fiona and the others take Amelia to conduct many practical activities. With your help, she should be enough to deal with general situations."

Adele of the past once told Xia De that the categories of time power could be classified into "influencing the past," "influencing the present," and "influencing the future." They represent the three major sources of time miracles—returning to the past, freezing the present, and seeing the future.

The elf girl who returned now had made achievements in all three major areas. She not only demonstrated the power of time stasis to everyone but even showed magic spells similar to the "Rapid Magic" of the 【Tree Hole Association】.

Besides that, Amelia could already barely "peek into the future." Her eyes, while wearing the crown, could see various possibilities that would appear within three seconds, but this state was a heavy burden on her brain, and the little elf's brain couldn't handle so much information at once.

As for the story Amelia experienced in the Fifth Era, it was too wonderful. Her life was definitely not confined to the academy on the ice field, running between different classrooms and lectures every day. Although Miss Feilian didn't have time to see her always, according to Amelia, the dragon maids took her to many, many places to adventure:

"We went deep into the primitive forest tribes that still used ancient voodoo power, saw hundred-meter-high mammoths being hunted by half-giants wearing feather decorations with their bare hands, and then we exchanged their prey with the cursed lizardman skulls;"

"We climbed the highest snow mountain in the material world. The dragon maids sprayed flames toward the sky together on the top of the snow mountain, just to get the tears of the passing star sea whales, which was the base material needed for Miss Wilde's signature dish;"

"We entered the golden pyramid mausoleum under the scorching summer sun, wearing cloaks that could cover our tails, and traded with the sleeping cursed ones in the ancient times. The golden scale in his hand was a legendary kitchen utensil;"

"We even flew to the whirlpool of the Endless Sea, dived into the deep sea amidst the singing of mermaid charms, and searched for precious deep-sea octopuses... That day's dinner was great."

The two years were not long relative to the life Amelia had experienced so far, after all, she was already over fifty years old, but the things she experienced were more wonderful than all the boring lives she had before meeting Xia De combined.

Ajelina listened to these stories with great envy, and after Amelia finished her simple narration, Xia De asked Miss O'Lannod again:

"I don't know if Miss Feilian asked you to bring me any words."

Seeing him a little uneasy, the gentle witch couldn't help but smile:

"Teacher asked me to bring you a letter, I forgot to give it to you last night, go to my room to get it in a while."

But except for Xia De and Amelia, all the girls here, including Ajelina, didn't believe she had forgotten.

Of course, no one would say it out on purpose.

Luvia asked again:

"Miss O'Lannod, then you came here summoned by the War of Time, what is the difference between your current state and your normal state in the Fifth Era?"

"There is a difference."

She nodded gently:

"Actually, I have already stepped on the road to demigod. Teacher Feilian said that I am only one last opportunity

"A demigod..."

Miss Danister sighed softly:

"But you remain the most powerful assistant that any of the current candidates can find."

The gentle witch shook her head lightly:

"Before I set off, my teacher also gave me many instructions. She made a prophecy for this mission of mine, and she said it would not go smoothly. Xia De, even if the 'Clockmaker' you mentioned appears again, I have the confidence to suppress her completely, but are you really unable to be certain about the remaining two candidates?"

"There will soon be a result regarding Bennett, and as for the first candidate... I think I need to go find someone to help."

"Who?"

"An old professor named Luke Wood."

Miss Olanode brought not only Miss Feilian's letter, but Fiona had also entrusted her to bring a letter as well. Xia De received those two letters on this Monday morning, and everyone avoided him while he opened them.

Xia De was actually quite anxious about what that lady, as beautiful as a violet, would say in the letter; perhaps it was a greeting, perhaps worry, or perhaps just some instructions.

But after using a letter opener to break the wax seal bearing the Saint Byron Academy crest, the letter inside consisted of only a single folded sheet of paper.

The stationery was pale yellow, and Xia De even thought he smelled a familiar perfume. After opening it, he confirmed that the perfume scent was not an illusion, because not a single letter was written on the paper; it was simply imprinted with an incredibly clear lipstick mark with distinct lip lines.

The anxiety he had felt just moments before instantly turned into a smile. He held the paper high, then gently cradled it in his hands and brought it before his face. When Miss Feilian left his home in the summer, she had also left a letter under his pillow, and that letter had a similar lipstick mark. He understood what she wanted to express; these two simple imprints actually contained more complex meanings than any words could.

【Do you want to put it to your mouth and kiss it?】
