Chapter 3078
"The long polar night may bring problems. Although the nun left the phoenix, that bird has only been reborn for a year, and she really can't handle it if something happens."
Grace said this when saying goodbye to Xia De. Xia De originally wanted to find a time to invite the Red Butterfly sisters to soak in the hot spring together, but he didn't have to regret it. For the two sisters who had crossed life and death, the obstacle of space was never a problem.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the figures of Xia De and Vanessa appeared in the forest on the outskirts of the "Wang Zuo Land." The crystals did not just exist around the throne. In the woodland near that huge open space, one could also observe a few crystals attached under the snow, or a certain area of tree trunks and branches changed material.
And when truly arriving near the "Wang Zuo Land," one could already see crystal pillars protruding from the ground in the forest. These crystal pillars also existed widely in the open space known as the "Wang Zuo Land." They did not possess any research value. Their composition was the eternal crystal created by the strange art 【Crystal Touch】 that ring warlocks could learn.
After crossing the bushes and entering the "Wang Zuo Land," one could clearly feel that with the edge of this open space as the boundary, the elemental fluctuations and spiritual tides inside and outside were completely like being in two different worlds. The light reflected by the crystals made this place look brighter than in the forest. In the eyes of Vanessa, who was thirteenth-tier, this place was almost about to be stripped from the material world itself and become a space of special existence.
The Five Gods Church had decided to unite the three major academies and the Prophet Association to select their respective representatives to form a "Vista Woodland Seal Processing Team" specifically responsible for regularly offering sacrifices to the four thrones in the long years to come to maintain the stability of the crystal seal.
Therefore, after Xia De and Vanessa arrived here, they saw that there were actually quite a few people busy here.
The Nature Church sent Miss Maria Ingram, the "Nightmare Witch," to assist in dealing with the tree hole seal this time. She greeted the two at the edge of the Wang Zuo Land and then came to the throne at the end of the Wang Zuo Land with them.
The "God Caller" sat on the throne, holding a sapling and a long staff; the girl lay on the "God Caller's" lap with a peaceful smile on her face. This was the first time Xia De had returned here after the end of the Battle of Vista Woodland. Looking up and seeing that all five thrones had been wrapped in crystals, and the scene on the largest throne under the tree in the center would probably become a topic of discussion for many years to come, the Outsider was still very emotional.
"After confirming the time for the next sacrifice of the four-element items, the ring warlocks will all withdraw from this area. In the future, if it is not necessary, we will only set up outposts in the surrounding woodland and will not enter the Wang Zuo Land during non-sacrificial periods."
Miss Ingram explained to Xia De, then looked at Vanessa:
"The church hopes that the Witch Council can also participate in the regular maintenance of this seal in the future. After all, you are also eyewitnesses to this incident."
"This matter requires the Speaker to hold a meeting to discuss with us together. I cannot give you an answer directly now."
Vanessa responded, thinking in her heart whether she could take this opportunity to let the church tacitly allow the Witch Council to set up secret strongholds in the woodland.
In order not to affect the sealing effect of the Wang Zuo Land, people tried their best not to make any changes to this area. Therefore, those tree holes collected by the church from various places were all piled on the lowest step of the three-step staircase in front of the throne.
However, considering that the steps themselves were very high, this was almost equivalent to placing them on a high platform.
"How do you plan to deal with these sealed twisted tree holes later?"
Xia De asked Miss Ingram before starting, and the latter replied:
"The current view is to keep all erroneous powers related to time in the Vista Woodland. After you seal these tree holes, they will be scattered and contained in various parts of the Vista Woodland. We plan to build permanent research and containment bases nearby."
This was a good choice. Even if something went wrong, it would just continue to be borne by the Vista Woodland. As for those tree holes in his own hands, he had completed all the seals yesterday, and the handling result discussed with the witches was also to place them all in the "Moon Sanctuary" of the Vista Woodland for containment.
Of course, only the wooden door connected to 1821 was taken away by Miss Danister and sealed in the basement of the St. Byrons Library. That was the channel for her to have final contact with her teacher, Ms. Helena Carter. Even if it was impossible for Xia De to let her use it indiscriminately, she had to keep that door by her side.
The church found 21 "Twisted Tree Holes" this time, 15 of which came from the Vista Woodland, and 6 were collected from other areas of the material world. However, everyone believed that there should be more tree holes locally, so it might be troublesome for the "God Caller" to come again later.
As for the appearance of these tree holes, they were also different. Except for being "wooden items" and having "door structures or door symbols," there was almost no commonality.
The church made a list to explain what time the doors that had been used and left data were connected to. However, Xia De didn't care much about this. With the help of the two ladies, he touched all the tree holes in turn and successfully cast spells to crystallize them.
He originally thought this would be quite spirit-consuming, so he specially brought out the sparkling pink essence vial—last night's events made the essence even richer. But when he really cast the spell, he felt as if the entire "Wang Zuo Land" was reducing the spell consumption for him, so Xia De understood that the sealing consumption of his strange art 【Crystal Light】 could be reduced in this area.
After the sealing was completed, Miss Ingram and Vanessa left first. They did not participate in the conversation between Xia De and the elves later. Xia De originally thought there would be several elves meeting him, but in the end, he only saw Emilia's elder, Granny Qishara, walking towards here.
She also looked up at the statue on the Crystal Wang Zuo, and it took a long time for her to take a deep breath and come back to her senses:
"Originally some people were going to come, but considering that you might not like talking too much with strangers, only I came in the end. God Caller, please allow me to thank you for everything you have done for the world and for Emilia. She has already told me that you used this miraculous seal to prevent her from sitting here and becoming a new tree. As her elder, please accept my gratitude."
The old elf seemed very polite. After all, the "God Caller" was a person of great status. Xia De nodded, but was very straightforward:
"There is no need to say thanks, let's get straight to the point.
Professor Danister and the witches have already told me about your thoughts. Sorry, I have never thought about becoming the Elf King. Miss Emilia Sinod is very good. Compared to someone like me with questionable bloodline, a pure-blooded elf is clearly more suitable to lead the elves in this dangerous era."
The old elf smiled, not surprised at all by such a reply:
"You also wore the crown, no elf would refuse to admit this."
Xia De looked up at his crystal statue:
"Wearing the crown is only for this world, not because of wanting to bear responsibility."
"It is not just responsibility, the Elf King also has unparalleled power. Although the elves have declined like other ancient races, we have walked from the oldest era to the present with humans after all. If you are willing to be king, what you get will definitely be more than what you want."
【For example, an elven girl like Emilia Sinod.】
"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, as gentle as the wind in the forest. Xia De smiled and shook his head again. Seeing that he was really determined, Granny Qishara stopped insisting:
"You are the strongest ring warlock in the material world, we have no ability to ask you to do anything. Before I came, other clans actually prepared many conditions for you, such as powerful relics, ancient knowledge, etc., but I think I don't need to bring them up anymore."
"Yes, no need to tell me."
Xia De nodded, and the old elf said again:
"You are unwilling to be king, but there is one thing I must ask you at this time. Your relationship with Emilia is a private matter between you, and I, as Emilia's elder, will not ask too much. But for the entire elven race, how do you view it?"
Xia De understood that Granny Qishara's question was not really wanting to know his view on elves, but wanting to know whether the "God Caller" was just taking care of Emilia, or could become an ally of the elven race.
"If Emilia really becomes the Elf Queen, then as long as she asks me for help, I will definitely help if I can. Of course, I have no intention of changing the current situation between humans and elves. Now is a troubled era, the elves probably wouldn't want to suddenly revive the ancient empire, right?"
"Of course not."
Granny Qishara shook her head:
"If you are willing to provide us with protection, then I can represent the nine great elven clans and guarantee to you that when you need us, we can also become the long sword in your hand.
The departure of the Tree Father and the Moon Sage is already a thing of ten thousand years ago, but the elves have never forgotten their faith. If you are unwilling to be king, then please allow us to follow your footsteps, that is following the footsteps of the Tree and the Moon."
Xia De was noncommittal, but it seemed that in future major events, the allies who could help included the elves:
"I am also willing to form an alliance with the elves. We don't need to sign complex covenants. Now I stand in front of this Crystal Wang Zuo, in front of the remains of the former World Tree, and guarantee my friendship with the elves—may the 【Silver Moon Sage】 and the 【Infinite Tree Father】 witness all this."
"Swearing by the Tree and the Moon, the elves will not live up to your trust."
The old elf performed a fairly ancient elven etiquette to Xia De, which was usually the etiquette performed to the Elf King or priests.
