Chapter 2982: Great Desire Summoning

The light of the 【Flute of Time】 rushed straight into the black sky in the hands of the two elf girls. Vaguely, Xia De seemed to hear the dragon roar from the void, followed by a green thunderbolt that struck down, directly hitting the emerald green long sword in the hands of the elf girls.

Then the sword light that almost tore the whole world became longer and larger. Until finally slashing down, the light melted the darkness. Even if those fragmented whispers and loud curses begged for mercy together, the sword light was still unstoppable and melted all the curses and resentment that had occupied this place for thousands of years.

The "Sword of Light" reappeared in front of Xia De for the first time since the Battle of Moon Bay. Amelia and Amelia continued to slash the huge light downward in the air. So, in the sound of fragmented clicking, the time frozen here finally continued to move forward in the flowing light.

The flow of light drove the flow of time. The light of the ancient dragon god finally cut through the static space-time. Then the night sky opened overhead, and the phantoms of stars and the moon projected from the reality world onto Xia De's head.

While the light sword in the elves' hands dissipated, dots of light from the sword body drifted to every household at this moment. Then lights lit up from every window in the city, until finally, the Vesta City here seemed to have entered a calm night like the past.

It was just that the Accordion Inn behind Xia De did not light up after all.

"So, the method you mentioned to make frozen time flow again is to let Amelia find you?"

After the Great Elf hugged the panting little elf and landed again, Xia De asked while walking toward them.

The little elf risked using the "Sword of Light" after using Sublimation Language. At this moment, her face was as white as paper, but there was still a smile of luck on her face; as for the elf in the forest who was a head taller than her, she didn't look like anything was wrong at all.

She wore a skirt armor exactly the same as Amelia's, and even her hairstyle was exactly the same. If it weren't for the fact that Amelia was about to faint at this time, Xia De believed that even she could understand who the elf in the forest was.

"Yes, but you see this method is very effective and the simplest, isn't it? Otherwise, how do you think she could master the power to influence the time flow inside the World Tree in just one day?"

The elf girl smiled, she supported Amelia herself and didn't let Xia De reach out:

"Now the time here begins to synchronize with the reality world. After we go out, it should have been fighting for a while outside. My and her task is temporarily over, and it's up to you next."

"Up to me? Wait, Thomas Bennett doesn't count as defeated yet?"

Xia De immediately pulled Amelia's right hand, and then sure enough found that the leaf pattern on the back of her right hand had not changed.

The golden-haired elf smiled:

"Xia De, don't pretend to be surprised here. Even if you are not surprised, it won't cause a time paradox. As a participant in the Time War, Thomas Bennett hasn't used the power from the past until now, and hasn't called the assistant he summoned from the past... It's about to begin."

Saying that, she hugged Amelia and hid behind Xia De. Xia De put away the surprise he had just pretended to have and looked up at the night sky. The phantoms of stars and the moon flickered overhead, and flakes of snow fell at this time.

Only the little elf would think that this was reflecting the weather in the reality world today. When the first snowflake fell on Xia De's palm, he found that the snowflake was pink.

"What is this again?"

Amelia, who was embraced by a warm hug, asked in a low voice, and Xia De sniffed it gently before the snowflake melted. The intoxicating fragrance immediately reminded Xia De of Luweiya's perfume, the scent of high-end firewood burning in the winter fireplace, the scent of brand-new letter paper, and the scent of clean bedding washed by the maid ladies.

He was a little glad that what should come had finally come, and then looked into the distance in the pink heavy snow with a serious expression:

"Although I knew it long ago, I still have to exclaim now—does he really have such courage?"

After that resentment aggregate dissipated, Thomas Bennett's body fell toward the Golden Music Hall. And when Xia De and the two elf girls arrived there, the innkeeper was lying on the Clover Petal Square north of the Music Hall. Behind him were steps leading to the north gate of the Music Hall, and although the whole city was lit up at this moment, the Music Hall, which should have been brightly lit, did not have a trace of light like the Accordion Inn.

Thomas Bennett was soaked all over as if he had just crawled out of the sea. He heard footsteps and barely raised his head. Seeing that it was the three of Xia De who appeared, he leaned on the ground and tried to sit up:

"Long time no see. Although I thought about reaching this step, I didn't expect it to be such a failure in the end."

Xia De looked at the parchment in his hand:

"It looks like you just came back from a very far place... What exactly do you want to do?"

He took the initiative to block the two elf girls, and the Great Elf girl also sensibly continued to hug Amelia and hide behind him.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

Thomas Bennett, sitting in the snow, smiled at him in embarrassment:

"You should know a lot about the story of my life. After hearing the story of the transfer station from my father when I was young, I originally longed to have such an amazing duty. But the more I served in this job, the more I could feel that our whole family, from the first ancestor to my daughters, were just chess pieces in the hands of the Ancient One."

"Even calling them chess pieces is not appropriate. We are just a tool that can be used repeatedly. Over the years, I have thought about many things. I want freedom, I want my wife not to die so early, and I want my daughters and their children not to have to accept such a fate again."

He gave a dry laugh again:

"But you see, in the end, I still have such an ending. I can feel that you and that Ancient One are the real chess players, and I am just the most inconspicuous little stone on the chessboard that has lost its value and has to ignite itself one last time to test you."

"So, you want to seek help from other existences for the sake of freedom? You, as an adult, should understand the consequences of such a foolish thing as turning to a leopard to get rid of a tiger."

Thomas Bennett closed his eyes:

"It was Linda who gave me hope. She let me know that there are other Ancient Ones outside this woodland. I know you think I'm stupid for doing this, but I don't have your power. The shackles of fate were wrapped around me before I was born. My wife, my daughters, my everything..."

He took a deep breath and shouted:

"I agree to your contract, please appear."

The wind traveled through the heavy snow, and there seemed to be a refreshing fragrance in the wind at this moment:

"Do you really agree?"

A sweet, smiling female voice that did not belong to anyone present sounded behind Thomas Bennett. The two elf girls behind Xia De immediately hugged each other, and Xia De looked up at the darkness in the Music Hall door above the steps.

Pink snowflakes fell under the starry sky in the city, which was brightly lit but dead silent. Even though Xia De was prepared, the familiar voice still made his back feel cold:

"Your daughter, Linda Bennett, left something at home, and you used it as a beacon for time travel? You went to see... it?"

Xia De asked word by word, his eyes still fixed on the darkness behind the door. But he knew very well that the thing summoned by Bennett definitely did not come directly from the past to the present. The rules of the Time War did not even allow demigods to appear as assistants, and of course, it would not allow such a powerful existence to travel through time.

Otherwise, Xia De didn't even dare to think about the time paradox it would cause.

Linda Bennett came into contact with the "Mermaid," and then drugged the dead apostle Bronte through the power of the Mermaid. Now, that "Mermaid," who did not seem to participate in the big event here, showed her smile to Xia De again.

But even if the "Mermaid" did not really come here, Xia De could still feel those eyes looking directly at him across time and space. The pink snow was evidence that its power was enough to cross time and affect the present, and Thomas Bennett, who held the contract, was the bridge for it to communicate the past and the present.

The intoxicating laughter continued to sound softly in the snow, like a charming girl laughing because of a reunion with her lover.

"Yes, I agree to the contract."

Thomas Bennett nodded very affirmatively. Then, in the darkness behind him, purple eyes opened in the door of the Music Hall, smiling and looking at the scene on the square. The eyes moved outward bit by bit, until half of a clear face was revealed from the side of the door frame.

Under the gaze of those eyes, regardless of Thomas Bennett, who had his back to it, or Xia De or the elves, thoughts that shouldn't have appeared appeared in their hearts very inappropriately.

But only Xia De knew that those eyes, which seemed to be looking at everyone at this moment, were actually just staring at him. Strictly speaking, he could completely stop what was about to happen now, the power of desire had not yet fully arrived here, but he did nothing, just listening to Thomas Bennett say in the snow:

"I sacrifice to you, my lady. Thomas Bruce Bennett, on the sixth day of the Frost Month of 1854, offers to you, to the desire born at the beginning of the world, to the Ancient One of Great Desire, to the source of all things that intelligent life craves, everything I possess. Yes, everything, including my life and soul, only craving your favor.

I want the power to defeat all enemies, I want a generous wealth left to my three daughters, so that they can reverse the current decline of the Bennett family after I leave."

Then, half of a beautiful woman's face in the door licked her lips with a slender tongue, and answered in a very gentle and considerate voice:

"Everything of yours, including your three daughters." ===== CHAPTER 2983 =====
