Chapter 3048: Tree, Seed, and Door

Determining that the figure walking out of the fog was indeed the yellow-haired witch, Xia De also walked forward and hugged her. Blaney, although not clear about what the situation was, also hugged him:

"I thought there wouldn't be a chance to say goodbye... Where is this?"

"My dream."

He said softly:

"Sorry, I couldn't let you stay temporarily."

Blaney then showed a smile:

"I thought it was what happened, so it was this matter. It doesn't matter, Xia De, I am already very satisfied with this Sixth Era trip, very, very satisfied."

She hugged Xia De and took a deep breath:

"The only regret originally was not being able to say goodbye to you, now even that regret is gone. Before I left, you were still in a deep sleep, Danister Gustav said she was going to take Emilia back to Saint-Byron first, the great witches..."

"No, don't tell me what happened outside. Now I just want to say goodbye to you."

Xia De interrupted her words:

"Those things can be understood after I wake up, but after saying goodbye to you this time, I don't know how long it will be before we meet again."

Blaney pursed her lips and smiled:

"So, I have been thinking since I woke up, was it me hunting you from the Thousand Tree Forest, or you hunting me from the Thousand Tree Forest."

"What?"

"No, nothing. Either way is fine, anyway, it's good that I got you. However, this has added a new trouble. After going back, how should I let Teacher Feilianna discover it without deliberately showing off? This is really a big problem."

"Blaney~"

Xia De said her name with a smile, and Blaney was also full of smiles:

"This is one of the few things I have surpassed the teacher. I dare to bet she must be very regretful that she brought Fiona along last time. However, if she didn't bring Fiona last time, it seems she couldn't have come either."

She kissed Xia De on the side of his face lightly, then kissed again, and immediately kissed a third time:

"Use these three kisses to let me remember you, this has to be maintained for a very long time."

She then touched Xia De's nose with her own nose, and the two pairs of eyes looked at each other at a close distance. And Xia De not only saw himself in her eyes, but also saw some kind of surging emotion.

After a moment of hesitation, the bold witch bit her lip, and then suggested softly:

"Since this is your dream, and we are about to part, then do you want to..."

"*Cough cough*!"

Although Xia De almost wanted to agree to this suggestion, fortunately, he still maintained the most basic rationality:

"Over there, over there."

After taking two steps back, he pointed behind Blaney. The witch, who was disappointed and sad because of Xia De's refusal, turned around and looked back. Upon seeing that giant tree that seemed to support heaven and earth, she was so surprised that she almost fell backward into Xia De's arms:

"Tree..."

"No, no, the Ancient God has long since departed, this is the shadow of the Tree Father, the power used to maintain time balance."

Xia De corrected:

"I did well this time, so the Tree Father wanted to give me a reward. I originally wanted to let you stay, but it wasn't allowed, so I wanted to say goodbye to you one last time before you left."

"Oh, Xia De~ hearing you say that, I am even more reluctant to leave."

Blaney turned around and hugged Xia De's neck, this time using the most intense way to kiss Xia De. After kissing, she didn't give Xia De a chance to react, and hugged his neck and said:

"Let the Tree Father witness, Xia De Hamilton, you are my prey, I will find you again, and then eat you! Definitely will!"

After finishing, she cut off a lock of her own hair and stuffed it to Xia De, then kissed Xia De on the side of his face again, only then did she run into the fog with a flushed face without looking back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

【She went back.】

Even for a girl from the Fifth Era, saying such words was quite bold. Xia De guessed that the next time they met, she would definitely not take the initiative to mention the words she just said, but he would remember those words in his heart:

"Blaney went back... why am I still here?"

【You can continue to speak your wish.】

"I hope..."

"She" said gently. Xia De then looked up at the tree in the fog again:

"Is it possible to accurately locate the mission of the next time key, so that Blaney definitely appears?"

After a moment of waiting:

【Not allowed.】

"So that's how it is... I want the knowledge of the 'Cursed Great Tree,' especially the knowledge that can help me save Miss Helena Carter."

Another moment of waiting, the canopy rustled again, and a green leaf drifted down from that high place. Xia De reached out and caught it. It was indeed a Youth-Preserving Ye Zi; the knowledge should be within it:

"Really generous, directly gave a leaf. Adding that 'Newborn Ritual' leaf that has the third core spiritual rune, now I have three 【Youth-Preserving Ye Zi】 in my hands... Should have made this wish first just now, and then let Blaney take a leaf away."

【Time travel does not allow carrying relics.】

"Got it, got it."

He had already started missing Blaney. Even if the girls in the present world were not in the same city as him, he knew that as long as he wanted to see them, he could see them at any time. But the girls of the Fifth Era—like Blaney and Chloe, really, no one knew the time of the next meeting.

Waiting a little longer, seeing that he still hadn't woken up from this dream, he knew that he could actually continue to make wishes. It seemed he really handled the matter this time very well.

"Give me some suggestions, what else can I request."

After putting away the brand-new leaf and Blaney's hair, the Outsider asked "Her" for help again. "She," who understood Xia De's thoughts very well, really gave suggestions:

【The ones you worry about most are the sorceresses or witches who are not in the same space-time as you. Since the first two wishes are related to Blaney Olanode and Helena Carter, how about the third wish being related to Adele Isabella?】

Xia De immediately showed a smile:

"Yes, this is a very good idea—I want to know, what must be done to let Adele come from the past to the present. Not staying temporarily like the summoning of the Sublimation Language, but coming to the present world—the Sixth Era—where I live permanently."

Another moment of waiting, but he didn't wait for the rustling sound of the canopy.

【The Tree Father refuses to answer this question; it cannot be determined whether your authority is insufficient, or this question has no answer.】

Xia De guessed it would be like this, so he took a step back:

"Then I want to know, is there any way that can let Adele appear in the era where I live occasionally. Since there is no way to let her leave the end of the world permanently for the time being, at least give her a chance to get a night of peaceful sleep in the present world."

The canopy rustled, and Xia De knew that this question of his could get an answer. It was just that no new green leaf fell from the canopy, only "She" said softly:

【The possibility is hidden in the seed, that seed you obtained from the secret room beneath the Golden Music Hall.】

The Golden Music Hall, as the "Temple of Time," itself hid the treasures of the Tree Father's believers in ancient times. Back then, Xia De obtained "Elf Kingship," "Time Key to the First Era (now in the hands of long-haired Luweiya)," "Time Proof Ritual," "Greed Brand," and "Fossil Seed" there.

That seed could grow a true "Time Tree Hole." Xia De guessed that was the true door leading to the "Time Corridor." He originally planned to wait until the Chosen One of Time appeared before asking the other party for advice, so he hadn't studied it before. He didn't expect to get the answer related to it from the Tree Father here:

"The function of the Time Corridor is to act as a transit station, connecting to the space-time of the past... Is it possible that the method of letting Adele appear occasionally is related to special effects obtained after offering divinity or other special items?"

He couldn't wait to try it out. However, he didn't understand the knowledge of the brand-new door. He thought Emilia could definitely give the answer.

Seeing that he still hadn't woken up from the dream, he knew that after three wishes, there was actually a fourth one. It seemed this was the last time.

"The black time key has been sealed for two months, can the restriction be lifted? Or can the restriction on the black time key be transferred to the normal time key?"

After all, that special key was related to the frequency of Xia De seeing Adele.

The canopy rustled, and everything before his eyes was becoming blurred. Xia De knew he was about to wake up from the dream, but he didn't get the answer he wanted:

【Although you can make wishes because of your achievements, this cannot offset the punishment. The dream is about to end, Outsider, speak your final wish.】

"I hope..."

The barrier between reality and dream had been touched; it was indeed time to wake up. This adventure that happened in the Vesta Woodland was not particularly bizarre or stimulating compared to past experiences, but the Outsider believed he would remember these stories about time. Fate and time were not things that could be toyed with.

As for the final reward for this autumn adventure, Xia De decided to give Emilia a gift. The hardworking elf girl also deserved a gift—

"I hope to know the location of the entrance to the 【Space Labyrinth】 nearest to the Saint-Byron Comprehensive Academy!"

【As you wish.】

"That will do."

"Xia De!"

Even just trembling his eyelids, Miss Jia Lin Na, who noticed Xia De waking up, stood up from the chair by the bed. The Outsider, feeling his head a bit dizzy, looked blankly at the cabin ceiling, and was stunned for several seconds before looking at the porthole of the room.

Only to see that cat, as if surrounded by a circle of glowing golden edges, looked very majestic:

"Mia, move aside a bit, I want to look outside the window."

"Meow~"
