Chapter 3472: Adele's Outing

The hoarse, low whisper finished the story amidst a strange laugh. When the pages began to ooze black water, Xia De closed the book that was constantly shaking with a hand glowing with moonlight, and then summarized:

"It sounds like a story of two evil cultists fighting. The former queen believes in an evil god related to the soul, and the current queen believes in an evil god related to flesh and blood. Their ultimate goal is to offer the kingdom to the gods, so they fight each other, and finally, they are all killed by the prince who is suspected to be an evil spirit demon."

Dorothy picked up the teacup and rubbed her temples:

"That's about it. Leixia and I have discussed it, and we strongly suspect that the version of the story today is actually a story that really happened in the Third Era or the Fourth Era. This is not to say that the story in this book is the true origin of the story, but that the thing that caused this book to mutate is actually trying to borrow the influence of these nine fairy tales to expand its popularity in civilization.

Maybe it's the prince's handiwork, or maybe it's the means of that king who looks useless but looks strange no matter how you look at it. In short, you just listen to this story, and you don't need to think too much. Leixia and I just think that since we are learning such complex fairy tales, we should dabble in all versions."

Although they spent a considerable amount of time on this story distorted by unknown existence, after putting away that relic, Dorothy didn't mention that story to Xia De again. It was getting late, and then she talked to Xia De about Xia De's feelings about this story, and the possibility of Xia De's "Fairy Tale Town" being compatible with the "Snow White" story:

"Most of the previous stories were a single scene. The match girl was on the town street, the sleeping princess was in the palace, the tree kiss was under the giant forest tree, and the last crystal light was also a crystal forest scene in the forest.

This time the fairy tale scene changes too much. Whether it is the house of the dwarves or the palace hanging the magic mirror, they are all important scenes. So if your composite maze can accept this fairy tale, I am afraid the scene will also have certain changes."

Dorothy originally said she was going to sleep in the side bedroom that night, but was pulled into the bedroom by Xia De:

"We are not just getting to know each other, you didn't say you were going to the side bedroom at such times before... Are you still thinking about Garlina?"

"Of course not."

The blonde writer lady just wanted to show her restraint slightly, so she obediently followed Xia De to the bedroom. The two didn't do anything that night, which allowed little Mia to have a "quiet" Saturday night for a long time.

And shortly after midnight, when the bell of the city clock tower rang, it meant that the first month of 1855 had officially ended. Too many things had happened in this month after the Year-End Festival, and the second month, the "Star-Sparse Moon," had officially begun.

However, Xia De didn't use that black time key at midnight. He suppressed his longing for Adele, and then opened his eyes at 5:30 on Sunday morning. At this time, it was still late at night outside the window, and the light of dawn had not yet broken the silence of the night.

"Xia De, sleep a little longer~"

Because the writer lady didn't have a job that required sitting in the office, staying up late and getting up late were very common things. Even if she didn't stay up late, getting up at 5:30 was still too early for her, but Xia De did have serious things to do:

"The ritual of All Souls' Day will end before dawn. I promised the elders to go to the summit to wait for the warriors to arrive. You keep sleeping. When the things on the snow mountain are over, I will bring you breakfast when I come back."

Xia De said softly. The blonde girl still closed her eyes, and Xia De was not sure if she was really awake. She mumbled something Xia De didn't understand, and then said "weakly":

"Come back early, or I will come to find you."

"Okay, okay. Little Mia, I'll be back in a while, you don't have to follow me."

At this time, it was not yet the cat's waking time, so the soft cat beside the pillow also just "Meow~" like Dorothy, moved the tail blocking its eyes to look at Xia De, and then went back to sleep.

Xia De took his clothes to the living room to change, and then walked out from under the witch's high tower on the snow mountain. Standing in the wind and snow under the starry sky with anxiety and excitement, he inserted the key into the keyhole of the high tower in the night.

The door of the high tower was opened with a click, and the endless white fog that dispersed from it made Xia De smile. The use of the black time key was not affected by the real 【Time Corridor】. After all, the tasks of this key were the same every time, and the duration depended entirely on how long Xia De could persist.

"She" whispered:

【Outsider, please note. Message from "Infinite Tree Father": You are allowed to carry two extra relics this time.】

Xia De had brought all his belongings out, and the ones that were not needed could be placed in Sylvia's high tower first. And since it was two, he didn't need to think at all:

"【Night Watchman】 and the perfume bottle."

He took his long sword and stepped in.

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

【Message from the ancient god "Infinite Tree Father":】

【Past · Sixth Era, Old Continent, City of End · Tobesk.】

【Event: Tobesk, the Last Era.】

【Duration: Any (7/∞).】

【You have obtained extra information.】

【You have stepped into a non-existent history.】

【The figure of the Infinite Tree Father watches you.】

【Note: During this exploration, you cannot leave the Saint-Dran Square area.】

【Note: You are allowed to carry any spellcasting materials into this period of time.】

【Note: Use the time key to defeat any formidable enemy, and you can return to the "present" time.】

"Hmm? Wasn't it the 7th time last time? Why is it still the 7th time this time?"

【Last time, you didn't defeat a formidable enemy.】

The white fog dispersed when "her" voice fell. As the dilapidated house gradually became clear, the dizziness of entering the doomsday environment made Xia De instinctively cover his head, but at least this time he didn't squat or sit down.

The location was still the familiar dilapidated house on the second floor, room one. It was just that Adele's true body had already come to Saint-Dran Square last time. Xia De originally thought that after he appeared this time, she would be sitting on that dilapidated sofa to welcome him. But now the fireplace in the house was pitch black, and the sofa was covered with yellowed white cloth. It seemed that Adele was not at home.

"Did she go out?"

The space order of the doomsday was completely chaotic, so Xia De could not judge how much time had passed since his last visit in the autumn. He didn't see any letters left by Adele in the living room, so he went to other rooms in the house, but he didn't see the blonde witch's figure either.

Finally, he even climbed onto the roof, but under the dim sky, there was only the black sun pouring red fire lines downward and the wreckage of the "floating island" entangled by the storm. Xia De then determined that Adele really didn't seem to be in Saint-Dran Square.

He was a little worried. After jumping down from the roof, he stood in front of his door and took out Adele's pocket watch, calling out in a low voice:

"Adele Isabella."

The wind blew away the yellow sand under his feet, revealing a string of glowing white runes. It was just that Adele, who stood up from the string of runes holding the edge of her skirt this time, did not condense into a solid body. Her body and the white glowing state under her feet were the same, but fortunately, she didn't have an accident:

"Xia De, welcome back."

The witch with a tear mole at the corner of her eye said with a smile, and then explained:

"I went to find some things nearby, I didn't expect you to come now. I'm rushing back now, can you wait for me to come back before leaving?"

Compared to meeting Xia De with a projection, she still wanted to have direct contact with Xia De, even if this projection was incomparably real.

"Of course I can. Then I'll deal with that curse-eroding big tree myself first. If you don't come back, I won't leave."

The glowing girl nodded with a smile, and then her figure disappeared in front of Xia De. However, the string of white light runes symbolizing her name on the ground did not disappear.

Although he didn't see Adele immediately, since she would be back soon, Xia De didn't mind waiting a little longer.

As for that curse-eroding big tree, Xia De had fought similar enemies during the Battle of Vista Forest. Although that big tree at the time was not transformed by Miss Helena Carter, it could be considered the same type of enemy.

Xia De had also seen that big tree in the doomsday when he came to "Past" to rescue Adele last time. That tree was of course very strong, but that was in the area outside the City of End. And in Saint-Dran Square, the power of all doomsday evil objects would be suppressed.

The long sword in his hand was inserted into the ground in front of Adele's name rune string by Xia De, and the Yggdrasil Key also temporarily maintained the form of a key without transforming.

He touched the perfume bottle in his pocket, and then Xia De raised his arm against the wind and sand and walked toward the center of the square.

And as he entered the square area, the rumbling sound appeared underground. Then, with a loud bang, branches breaking through the soil from underground directly destroyed the fountain sculpture that had been buried by yellow sand in the center of the square.

However, this fountain was destroyed every time, and Xia De was used to it.

Within a few seconds, the gray-green big tree with countless corpses hanging on its branches broke through the soil from underground. The canopy almost covered two-thirds of Saint-Dran Square, and the square ground also became uneven because of the undulating tree roots underground.

The cold wind rolled up the yellow sand, and the tree branches blocked the sky, making it incomparably dark under the tree. The power of the terrifying time curse permeated the space, and the corpses hanging on the tree wailed together. They were all former time curse victims. ===== CHAPTER 3473 =====

However, this fountain would be destroyed every time, and Xia De was used to it.

Within a few short seconds, the gray-green giant tree with countless corpses hanging from its branches broke through the soil from underground. The canopy almost covered two-thirds of Saint Deran Square, and the square ground also became uneven due to the undulating tree roots underground.

The cold wind rolled up yellow sand, and the tree branches obscured the sky, making it incomparably dark under the tree. The power of the terrifying time curse permeated the space, and the corpses hanging on the tree wailed together; they were all former victims of the time curse.
