Chapter 3475: Helena's Memory

Although Xia De didn't say anything, the witch knew what he wanted to express, and she smiled gently:

"I can't reveal too much about the Fatu Monster Island and the chosen one of fate. But your train of thought is correct, those seven stories are very important. The magic sword is broken, they have also finished the pilgrimage road, and you can handle the House of Pseudo-Humans yourself, so I will give you some reminders, pay attention to the concerts on the island, or similar activities."

Xia De nodded lightly, and Adele also knew that Xia De probably had to leave, so she sat up straight. After Xia De withdrew his hand, she caught Xia De's right hand with both hands:

"Then do you have anything you need to ask me for advice now? Speaking of which, I can also be considered your teacher."

Xia De thought for a while:

"I recently tried to use Moon Fire to fuse the magic - Moonlight Ray, making the power of this magic increase significantly. You know my Moonlight Slash, Moonlight Wheel have different forms of changes, I think Moonlight Ray should also be able to perform form transformation to enhance power or spellcasting speed."

"The form transformation of ray-type magic involves many aspects. Specifically to sunlight and moonlight, have you tried gathering energy first and then firing it, instead of casting and firing it directly?"

She asked with a smile, and didn't remind him further. She believed Xia De could understand it himself:

"The principle of reversibility and time stop are my most iconic powers. I want to share more power with you, but sometimes too many magic will affect the path you want to take in the future.

So this time, what I want to share with you is a peculiar ritual. This is the knowledge I obtained from the chosen one of the moon before the doomsday came. This ritual requires the power of time and the moon to activate, which is very suitable for you."

She closed her eyes, hugged Xia De's right hand, and leaned her forehead against Xia De's forehead. Then a series of information poured into Xia De's mind, and Xia De understood this ritual called "Moon Ash."

Similar to the ritual of collecting "Moonlight Water" and "Sun Fire" in the attic at home, this ritual is also used to create matter—Moon Ash. After the ritual is set up, it will run automatically, and then "Moon Ash" with different effects will be formed according to the different moon phases presented by the three moons.

The "Moon Ash" collected during the full moon period presents the bright color corresponding to the moon, such as bright silver, bright red, or bright yellow. It is similar to the relic "Time Sand" and can stop time for an extremely short time when thrown out, but its real effect is to assist time-stop-type abilities, as an auxiliary spellcasting material, making the time of time stop longer; the "Moon Ash" collected during the new moon and the moonless period presents the gray color corresponding to the moon. Sprinkling this kind of "Moon Ash" can accelerate the decay of items, but it can also assist Xia De's magic "Breath of Years," making the effect of the magic change from accelerating time by ten years to longer; the "Moon Ash" collected during the crescent moon and the waning moon state presents the ordinary color corresponding to the moon. Sprinkling this kind of "Moon Ash" can slightly reverse the time of items, and as an auxiliary spellcasting material, it can extend the power of Xia De's magic "Breath of Years" from three years to longer.

This unique strange object "Moon Ash" can assist a variety of powers to stop time, accelerate time, and reverse time, but just like Xia De cannot set up more rituals to collect "Moonlight Water" and "Sun Fire," the "Moon Ash" ritual can only be set up one.

This time it is not the restriction given by the Tree Father, but the core material required for the "Moon Ash" ritual is a magic item with uniqueness. It is a magic item of the ancient moon sect, known as "Moon Phase Whisper."

Its body is a silver pendant, and the material contains many materials including mithril. Under different moon phases of the silver moon, the pendant itself will present the moon shape corresponding to the moon phase. Of course, the main function of this magic item is to enhance the spellcasting effect of moon-type magic, and it also contains basic functions such as "Light Spell" and "Exorcism."

"Although I cannot reveal more about the 'future', the whereabouts of this magic item can be told to you, because it has always belonged to the Great Witch of the Moon."

Adele said with a smile, Xia De hesitated:

"So, I have to wait until I know the Great Witch of the Moon to obtain this item?"

"No, no, it's not that troublesome. Although other witches always say that Aurora (Note) is a fighting maniac, her relationship with everyone is actually quite good. She has the best relationship with Claire, the Great Witch of the Sun. You let Claire ask, Aurora shouldn't mind giving up this magic item."

Xia De still knew for the first time that the current Great Witch of the Moon was named "Aurora," and this name sounded very good:

"I understand, although I don't know the specific output of Moon Ash, this ritual is very useful to me."

Xia De kissed her again, and Adele also responded enthusiastically. However, she pushed Xia De away soon, her golden eyes with reluctance and fascination:

"Leave, staying in this era for too long is not a good thing for you. This separation is for the next reunion, Xia De, see you next time."

Xia De nodded, took out the supplies he had brought for her. After hugging Adele with some reluctance, he took out the "Disaster Paper Card" just now.

The back of the brand-new card in his hand had the exact same pattern as "Rod Cards" and "Phantasmagoria Cards." Flipping it to the front, it was written in gilded Delarion language at the top of the card:

【Curse-Eroding Big Tree】

On the card face, it was the big tree rooted in the center of Saint-Dran Square, and the canopy covered most of the square. The canopy was gray-green, with countless corpses of cursed people hanging under it, and from the gaps in the canopy, one could see the dim yellow sky.

This was an evil object formed by the disaster of time, and it was the eighth "Disaster Paper Card" Xia De obtained after Space - 【Twin Lovers】, Darkness - 【Deep Sea Shadow】, Death - 【Undead Ghost】, Earth - 【Gravel Worm】, Light - 【Light Prayer】, and Wisdom - 【Wisdom Skeleton Prophet】.

And at the bottom of the card face were three sentences, Xia De held Adele's hand and read them out softly:

【The soul that crosses time and is contaminated by the curse turns into a giant tree after death.】

【The disaster of time disorder originates from Vista Forest.】

【Time makes the tree turn into a forest, and under the roots of the forest are the corpses of the cursed. Cannot go against the current, cannot go with the current.】

After reading this sentence, two strange memories appeared in Xia De's head, which were the memories of Miss Helena Carter in the past.

The first memory occurred in a mountain forest that Xia De didn't know.

In the memory, she was walking through the mountain forest and finally reached a high tower that Xia De had seen in the newspaper when he first came to this world. She stood under the high tower looking at the tower, and then the picture of the memory became incoherent. After the picture stabilized, she was already standing on the highest floor of the high tower looking at the huge silver moon in the sky.

"Hmm? Why is there only one moon in the night sky?"

Xia De was a little surprised.

She stood there for a long time. Because it was the first perspective, Xia De couldn't see her face clearly, just judging from the sound of breathing, she seemed very weak.

Then, the body of the black-haired lady gradually dissolved in the moonlight, and the dissolved body finally turned into a seed. The seed fell from the edge of the high tower, fell into the soil in front of the tower, and quickly took root and sprouted. Then the small sapling appeared in front of the high tower.

The first memory ended here. Like the previous "Disaster Paper Cards," the first memory was about the information when the evil object itself died. Miss Helena Carter of the past also died at the ancient moon high tower of Karas Mountain, and there was only one silver moon in the sky when she died, which also partially proved the conclusion Xia De had obtained from the astrologer's book before—

The high tower in reality was just a reflection like the moon in the water, and the real high tower should be located in a special space where only the silver moon could be seen.

As for the cause of her death, she seemed to have been seriously injured, and it seemed that the moon was hurting her who was carrying the curse.

But in short, the curse-eroding big tree that was born was indeed in Karas Mountain.

The second picture was already after the doomsday.

The location was still Karas Mountain, but the sky had turned dim yellow. The sun was dim, although it was not the same as that black sun, it was definitely not a normal sun.

Behind the big tree was still that high tower, and the trees around had turned into dead trees. Fine sand rolled on the barren land, and in front of the big tree was a small forest path opened by humans. On the crosses erected on both sides of the path, countless dry corpses that were still twisting were bound.

And on that path, people with withered faces were walking toward the curse-eroding big tree. They surrounded a carriage, and a person covered in tree vines was wailing in the prison cage of the carriage.

"This is... this place has become a place of sacrifice, those people are escorting the cursed, hoping that the curse-eroding big tree can absorb the curses of the cursed?" 【3475-5

The second memory also ended abruptly here, and then white fog surged from Xia De's body. He looked at Adele, who was holding his hand, and after saying goodbye softly, he was taken away from this era by the white fog.

Only the blonde girl sitting on the sofa was left, looking forlornly at the spot where Xia De had disappeared. She whispered his name softly, then looked down at her messy dress. She was a bit melancholy that he couldn't stay, but also a bit expectant about what it would be like when they met next time.

【Outsider, you have returned to the present time.】

【Next opening time of the Key of Yggdrasil: Present World · Sixth Era, Common Calendar 1855, Month of Wind.】

【Current cumulative available mission count: 20 times.】

When walking out of the gate of Sylvia's high tower, the starry sky was still inverted in the snowy weather above his head. It was past five o'clock in the winter, and dawn had not yet arrived, but if Xia De didn't hurry, he might still miss his appointment with the elders.
