Chapter 3073: The Real [Time Corridor]

As their voices fell, white mist surged from all directions, completely covering the circular space. The ancient god statue disappeared in front of them, and after a while, a small path appeared in the thick white mist, with many dilapidated wooden road signs scattered on the path at unequal intervals.

【Outlander, you have stepped into the "Space Labyrinth", and a brand new road sign has been recorded: Saint Byrons Comprehensive Academy Library.】

【Message from the ancient god "Original Crack":】

【Existing space road signs: 12.】

"Home, Cold Water Port, Sikar Mountain, White River Valley Vineyard, Lighthouse of the Great Swamp, Randall Valley-Forgotten Church, Night Spirit Temple, Green Lake Hotel, Lighthouse of Green Lake Island, Dragon Nest of Moon Bay, Tree Hole of Vesta Woodlands, and finally here."

The mist on the path more than sixty meters long was very thin, and these twelve road signs that seemed to have been ravaged by time for a hundred years were what Xia De could see. In the eyes of Emilia beside him, the number of road signs was not so many.

This time he just wanted to go home, so he didn't need to offer white stone crystals as a sacrifice.

"Let's go."

Xia De took the initiative to hold Emilia's hand, and the two found the road sign "pointing" to Saint-Dran Square on the path together.

【Original Crack will guide you.】

The mist around dissipated, and they returned to the familiar circular space again. Just looking at the cabinets and shelves piled against the wall, they knew this was back home.

"Meow~"

Little Mia was restored, and immediately looked at the direction of the rings on the wall with bright eyes, but unfortunately, Xia De didn't walk over there.

He took Emilia's hand and walked out of here to the basement of the house. The hidden passage on the wall behind him had just disappeared, and the blonde elf took the initiative to kiss him with a blushing face.

The basement was of course not lit, but Emilia's long golden hair really had a faint light. After the kiss, Xia De even felt that her emerald green eyes were glowing:

"Xia De, I will come to find you often... and play with Ajelina and Iluna."

Emilia's cheeks had a lovely blush, and the white fluff that was almost invisible to the naked eye on the corners of her mouth was conspicuous on her red face.

"Of course, you are welcome here at any time."

【She didn't grow bigger when she kissed you this time.】

"She" reminded with a smile, but the Outlander didn't care, after all, the elf had indeed grown up.

However, there were people at home, so the maids still had to clean the room daily and light the fireplace to pretend that someone was at home, so the two didn't stay in the basement for too long, and returned to the ground together.

After entering the foyer, Xia De took a deep breath to feel the breath of home. The long-lost return home also made Little Mia very excited. It abandoned Xia De's shoulder and rushed to the back of the sofa in the living room of the first room on the second floor, standing there and looking at the house while turning around.

The fireplace fire crackled but had a sense of warmth. Seeing Xia De walking up from downstairs, the maid ladies put down their work and asked Xia De for peace. Xia De also responded to them one by one, and then discussed the seeds with Emilia.

"Are there any requirements for the location? For example, it must be underground, above or below the horizon, or must be at a high altitude."

Xia De asked Emilia for advice.

Among the six doors in the house, 【Dark Dungeon】, 【Earth Furnace】, and 【Space Labyrinth】 are in the basement, 【Keeper Hall】 is in the living room of the second room on the second floor, 【Soul Cemetery】 is in the corridor on the third floor, and 【Holy White Hall】 is in the attic on the top floor.

Unless it is very necessary, Xia De does not intend to place doors in the first room on the second floor where he and the cat mainly live, and the first floor where guests visit, to prevent unexpected accidents.

The last 【Holy White Hall】 required being as high as possible. Fortunately, the conditions this time were still loose:

"There is no requirement for the location, but it cannot be too high from the ground. Xia De, choose a position below the third floor, and the third floor won't work either. And this door cannot be placed on the wall, it must be attached to a real door. However, if that door is damaged, as long as you replace it with a new door, the entrance can still be used."

The pointed-eared elf answered, still looking at the house she lived in during the summer. Xia De then had an idea:

"Since this is the case, let's put it on the second floor. The door to be installed, I might use it once a week, and the second floor is also convenient. As for the specific location... follow me."

Xia De and Emilia walked through the door connecting the first room and the second room next to the fireplace, and came to the second room on the second floor.

【Keeper Hall】 was placed in the living room. Xia De and Emilia explained the usage here. Because this door was formed by 【All-Encompassing Cards】, it could be opened without the artifact 【Sage's Glow Stone】:

"The location is here. If you come here when I am not at home, use it yourself. Any furniture, food, or supplies in the house can also be moved by you. Oh, the spell is—May the Mentor protect me in the sea of ignorance."

After finishing talking with Emilia and confirming that she remembered it, Xia De took her to the door of the bedroom in the second room:

"Let's choose this door. By the way, this summer, Miss Felianna visited me here with Fiona after the Moon Bay incident, and they lived in this room, and Fiona lived in the side bedroom next to it."

Emilia nodded to show she understood, and took the fossil seed the size of a fist that Xia De had just taken out of the basement:

"The seeds of the World Tree are grown by me, so I can also grow this tree seed."

She said, then cut her right index finger, and used her blood to paint the symbol of the tree and the holy emblem of the Tree Father on the surface of the seed. Then she summoned her life ring, turned it into a dark gold dial, let it float in front of her, and put the seed in the center of the dial:

"Accelerate!"

The three dark gold hands originally corresponded to the real time at this moment. After Emilia gave the order, they all rotated at high speed. At the same time, the stone shell on the surface of the fossil seed was also peeling off, and the seed was changing due to the change of time:

"Actually, if there is no me, this kind of seed can also sprout under specific methods."

Emilia explained to Xia De during the gap of casting the spell:

"But that requires an extremely complex large-scale ritual, and at least twenty years of ritual time. I cannot be sure whether the material world still has another door, but even if it exists, it should just be hidden in an unknown corner."

In just half a minute, the fossil seed the size of a fist transformed into a green light group the size of a fingernail in her dark gold dial. Emilia carefully took it out of her life ring and sent it to the door in front of her.

The green light easily merged into the wooden door. The wooden door glowed slightly, but all abnormalities disappeared in less than ten seconds:

"From now on, this door will become very strong like other walls where doors are installed, but it is not completely indestructible."

Emilia said, and explained the method of opening the door to Xia De.

According to the Outlander's own summary, opening a similar door requires "artifact", "spell", and corresponding spirit runes. The artifact to open the door this time is of course the time key, the spell is "May the World Tree protect me in infinite time", and the spirit rune requires being related to time.

That is to say, the process of opening the door of the 【Time Corridor】 is consistent with the normal use of the time key. And when Xia De took out the key and prepared to open the door, he asked Emilia with some worry:

"Once I use this key, I won't have to start a time adventure immediately, right?"

"No."

The little elf shook her head quickly, and Xia De inserted the key into the door lock, recited the spell, and pushed open the door. Behind it was the familiar white mist.

Holding Emilia's hand and wanting to walk in, he suddenly heard the sound of cat footsteps approaching quickly. Turning around, he really saw the cat running toward here. Xia De grabbed it, and then entered the fog door with the elf girl.

【Outlander, you have officially stepped into the "Time Corridor".】

【Note: Using the time key through the corridor door will significantly increase the probability of being assigned a time adventure task.】

【Note: Once you are assigned a time task after entering the time corridor through the door, you can know the content of the task in advance, but you must set off within half an hour of knowing the content.】

【Now, do you need to know the task of the key in your hand?】

"She" appeared in his ear with a gentle voice, and Xia De shook his head hurriedly. Although the normal key was not disabled, he planned to rest for a while:

"I don't want to know the task. I just came here to see it this time."

Emilia was standing beside him holding his hand at this moment, and when the two looked around, an arch appeared in the "Time Corridor" that usually only had white mist.

That was an arc-shaped arch composed of twisted slender tree trunks, vines, branches, and green leaves. The whole arch was emitting emerald green light, and behind the door was still thick white mist.

"Only by passing through this arch can you enter other time and space from the corridor."

Emilia introduced to Xia De in a low voice.

"Now you and I have both seen this door and used the same key to enter here. Then can we go to that time and space together?"

Xia De asked expectantly. It would be great if Emilia could accompany him in future time tasks, but the elf shook her head regretfully:

"No, whoever holds the key inserts it into the keyhole and opens the door, only then has the qualification to cross this arch. Even if I walk over now, I am just walking in the white mist normally.

Xia De, the function of time travel can be granted by the time key, and the greatest role of the door we opened is actually to give people more opportunities to complete tasks for the Tree Father. Sorry to disappoint you, the value of this door to you is not great." ===== CHAPTER 3074 =====
