Chapter 3083

Xia De took the long-haired girl into his arms, and Luvia, looking at the black sun, said softly:

"The reinforcement is complete, this is already the seventh time..."

"Is it melancholy that too much time has passed since the beginning of the adventure?"

"Yes, but I am also sighing that this time I can finally share the secret of this staff with others."

She leaned against Xia De's chest and felt his heartbeat:

"Don't be surprised that I completed the reinforcement of it so quickly. The time flow in the dream world is different from the outside world, and I have done this many times. Listen to me, Xia De, the reinforced 【Yggdrasil Staff】 is still considered an angel-level relic, but now that the story of the Chosen One of Time has ended, you can fully use its power."

"Was it not fully used before?"

"Every time the staff passes through the Sixth Era, it will add a new function. Now that the World Tree remains as the core of the staff are dead, using those powers will not cause time paradoxes."

She picked up the black staff with her left hand, and a series of golden runes appeared on the surface of the staff. Those runes were not only telling the secrets of time and trees, but they were also telling the story of the whole world. In the past, this staff only glowed when used, but now it seems that all its power has indeed been liberated:

"The effect of enhancing spellcasting is further enhanced, and at the same time, it has the ability to turn into a tree. Stabbing it into the soil and letting it grow into a giant tree, in this form, except for you and me casting spells, all abnormal time effects around will be suppressed."

"It's a pity that this is an effect that can only be used after the story of Vista Woodland ends..."

Xia De said regretfully, and Luvia placed the long staff flat on her lap:

"Besides that, this staff can greatly enhance any of your time powers. Yes, it also includes 'Crystal Light'. And it can enhance the effects of the Lock and Sublimation Language, which is a special feature that no other relic can match."

"Because the Lock and Sublimation Language can be considered incomplete small worlds?"

But Luvia disagreed with this view:

"In my opinion, these two can only be considered as fake spatial prototypes. Xia De, don't interrupt me. Also, just like 【Time Flute】 gives the user extra spellcasting ability, this staff also attaches the following four spellcasting effects:

Range time stop; revive war treants; song of life, large-range healing ability; tree heart, catalyze plants."

"Hmm... is this much stronger than 【Night Watcher】, which is also angel-level?"

Xia De asked this, and the long-haired girl smiled:

"That sword of yours is a weapon specifically aimed at evil spirits and demons. Its main value is the combat experience of the past sword holders inherited by that sword. It belongs to a different type of weapon from this staff. And this long staff has been reinforced seven times, so it's normal for it to be stronger.

More importantly, it has no negative characteristics for you and me, which is its greatest value."

"Thank you for your hard work, Luvia."

"I said don't interrupt me."

Her tone of voice was actually a bit like acting like a spoiled child:

"I haven't finished yet. The above is the original use of this staff. As the main weapon I used before, every time I got the opportunity to reinforce it, I made it have new characteristics according to my own needs.

But this Sixth Era, it belongs to you. So although the reinforcement is complete, I didn't choose the new characteristic given for the seventh time. Xia De, before the year-end festival, please tell me how you plan to reinforce this staff next."

"Are there any restrictions on giving new characteristics? Or can I do whatever I want?"

"It must be related to the power of time or trees."

Luvia said gently, and reminded with a smile:

"Or if you want to change from using a sword to using a long stick or long spear, I can also give it a unique enchantment effect... for example, if it hits an enemy, let grass grow on the enemy's head to absorb life force, how about that?"

Xia De also laughed:

"I still prefer using a sword, using a sword is cooler."

The purple-eyed girl then turned from his arms and hugged him, or rather, hung on his neck like a koala:

"Xia De, it's great to have you in the Sixth Era."

(Little Mia is running...)

Since the end of the Battle of Vista Woodland, the weather in the woodland area had been very sunny, but by Thursday, snowflakes were drifting over the city again, as if to send off the people who were about to leave the woodland.

"Speaking of which, it hasn't snowed in Tobesk City this winter yet. Even though there was such a big blizzard in summer, this year's weather is indeed extremely abnormal."

At 8:00 PM on Thursday, Vista City University had completed a full evacuation. While the ring warlocks of the church were making their final withdrawal, Xia De and Dr. Schneider stood at the door of Professor York Wood's office with a seal on it.

Xia De's arms were placed on the top of the rusty metal railing that didn't look very secure, while the doctor held the railing with both hands and looked at the snow scene.

Because it was uncertain what the situation was in the office once used by the Ancient One, the church arranged the plan with the worst-case scenario, ensuring that even if another evil spirit demon suddenly appeared, it would not immediately affect the entire city.

And this office of Professor York Wood was the place Xia De and Ms. Carter visited together on a rainy day in the midsummer of 1821. At that time, Vista City University was still called "Creekwood Forestry College." After 33 years, Vista City had undergone great changes, but the only change in this small building was that it became more dilapidated.

Nowadays, only one-third of the offices in this building were in use, and other rooms were used as storage rooms for various departments. Coming here, Xia De could realize the change of time and the unchanging nature of Professor York Wood. Of course, the heavy snow in front of him also made him think of the scene when he visited with Ms. Helena Carter back then.

"Don't worry about the weather, our diviner said that the first snow in Tobesk will arrive at the end of this month or the beginning of next month, and once it starts to snow, it will quickly evolve into a blizzard that hasn't been seen in a hundred years. Doctor, you'd better stock up on living supplies in advance."

Xia De said listlessly, wrapped in a thin-looking black coat, but actually wearing two layers of cashmere sweaters inside, Bill Schneider noted this advice:

"Then what have you been busy with these past few days? You will all attend the meeting this week, right?"

"These past few days... a few days ago I dealt with the aftermath of this great war. Today during the day, I went to the forest to help solve two paradox bugs that didn't know where they came from."

In front of the small building was the courtyard behind Vista City University. At this time, the light gathered by the lens illuminated the entire courtyard without any shadow dead ends:

"After solving this matter, we will go back tomorrow. Time passes so fast, it feels like last year's year-end festival is right in front of my eyes."

The doctor laughed:

"People only have such sighs after they get older. Young man, you are just too busy and have no time to pay attention to the change of the date at the top of the newspaper. Let me, an 'elder', give you some advice: don't sigh that time is too fast, otherwise time will hear your complaints and make your life shorter."

Bill Schneider always seemed to be able to say such reasonable things. Xia De attributed this to the professional talent of a psychologist:

"Doctor, you don't count as an elder. The elder is our other friend."

He said with a smile, watching the snowflakes in the sky become denser and denser. The Outsider still liked snow very much, because it was said that he was born in a snowy season in his hometown. However, considering this year's food problem, the starving people should not be able to withstand such weather:

"Speaking of which, this year I met several real 'elders' in this city, and their stories are all very interesting."

"Then what have you learned from these stories?"

The doctor asked, but Xia De shook his head slightly:

"After walking through the city and walking through the paths in the forest, I finally found that the conclusion I reached was the same as before I came here: don't play with time casually, otherwise time will also play jokes on you."

But he immediately added:

"Of course, I haven't gained nothing this autumn... I have established some new relationships and made appointments with some people to hold hands and walk to the end of time."

He didn't say it in detail, but the doctor who knew Xia De's private life understood, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"When I first met you, you didn't look like this kind of person. I don't want to criticize you, I just sigh that time can really change people, and your change is a bit too big."

Xia De wanted to say something else, but at this time the remaining ring warlocks downstairs had completed the withdrawal. Above the street block where Vista City University was located, the shield formed by spirits and elements that only ring warlocks could see had taken shape, so the two knew they could act.

They took out identical rings from their respective pockets. After wiping the ring face of the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 with their fingertips, they put the rings on their fingers.

Xia De picked up the sword standing by the railing. The 【Edgeless Blade】 scabbard was hung on his waist, and the 【Night Watcher】 was held in his hand. The doctor took out the "Demon Hunter's Notes" from the backpack placed by his feet and held it in his left hand.

The smiles on their faces disappeared. After checking their respective states again, the doctor took the first step:

"Let's go."

He reached out and pushed the door open. After a creaking sound, the indoor scene that no one had entered since the old professor left last time was exposed to their eyes.

Nothing happened.

The doctor, who entered the room first, turned the gas lamp knob on the wall, letting the gradually brightening light illuminate this small office.

Seeing the mountain of various documents and materials piled up in the room, seeing the brown wooden desk surrounded by piles of books and the old armchair, if it weren't for the snow scene outside instead of the rain scene, Xia De almost thought he had returned to the midsummer rainy day in 1821.
