"Butterfly? The old god, the Thousand-Eyed Illusion Butterfly, is related to the power of the earth and nature, not space. But the holy emblem of the old god, the Twin Gods, is also a butterfly. Are you saying that the church suspects that the Chosen One may be related to that old god?"
Xia De asked, and Yin Luna nodded:
"We all know that sisters Grace and Helen must be involved this time."
"I understand... I'll be ready."
Yin Luna suddenly asked again:
"By the way, did Sister Devlin come with Granny Cassandra? I want to talk to her about something personal."
"Come with Granny, but Sister Devlin still has an official status. In order to contact the church, the spiritual group she leads will probably not appear with Granny Cassandra, but you will be able to see her this weekend."
The two walked down the stairs together. Yin Luna looked around and confirmed that there was no one there, so she asked again:
"I have another question, Shade. Do you know what can represent 'time and space'?"
Shad thought this was a strange question:
"You mean the power that symbolizes time and space? Are you looking for a god?"
"Probably not."
Yin Luna shook her head:
"It could be an unknowable-level relic, or it could be something else."
Xia De thought about it carefully:
"I don't know much about Unknown-level relics, but if it's not a relic, I can think of one - the World Tree."
He explained as he and Yin Luna went downstairs:
"You see, the World Tree itself has the meaning of supporting the world, which represents space; and the World Tree is said to be the Father Tree, which is time."
"The World Tree seems to have died at the end of the First Era and the beginning of the Second Era. The elves who believe in the ancient god are now planting saplings made from branches that fell off the World Tree before it died. They don't have the power of a real tree at all."
Yin Luna shook her head, and Xia De proposed another idea:
"Then we can only go to see the shadow of the Tree Father. This ancient god of time is the most special of all the ancient gods. Although she has left, she has connected all time and space with her torso, so there is the Time Key. Therefore, unlike other ancient gods who have left, the power of the Tree Father affects our world more clearly. After completing the task of the Time Key or illegally traveling through time, it is possible to see the shadow connecting heaven and earth... ... What do you want to ask? I'll help you ask it. It happens that the key in my hand is about to be completed."
But Yin Luna refused, she already had an idea. Just like she wanted to meet the "Lady of the Lake" in the "What If Game", she only needed to know the method but didn't need to actually do it. Now that she had found the method, she only needed to verify the rationality of the method.
"However, there are other ways. Since you are the guardian of time and space, you can probably find the people who come to arrest you by violating the rules of time and space."
Xia De laughed again. This was a joke, but Yin Luna thought it made sense. After all, it was a matter of the game, and the 17-year-old girl was quite good at using the rules:
"The time key is easy to find... But whether it is a legal or illegal time travel, I need the time spirit rune... As for violating the rules of time and space, the time of returning to the past mentioned by Shad, in the Dawn Church... Even if there is no Shad in that Sixth Era, since Tobesk in the game still exists, it means that this relic that Shad revealed and was not allowed to mention to Luvia, which once reset the Tobesk area, has been contained..."
She pondered in her mind, and then asked one last question:
"Shad, there is one more thing I want to ask you. If, I mean if, I encounter a relic related to storytelling, and every time I tell a story, I conduct adventures based on reality, but the world in the story is completely different from the present, and there are dangers everywhere. Even if I open a familiar door, I may die. Do you have any good suggestions?"
This kind of sentence that starts with "if" usually means it is true. Xia De was a little worried, but seeing Yin Luna's expression, she looked very relaxed:
"According to what you said, isn't it possible to encounter danger right from the beginning of the story?"
"No, no, when the story started, the scene was exactly the same as my situation in reality, but after I started to act, ... "
The girl with long brown hair was startled, and then suddenly realized that the first time was when she was carrying out the task of searching the warehouse, and the second time was when she just got off the train, but the game was exactly the same as reality. This was definitely not a coincidence. The beginning of the "what if" game was part of reality, not the time and space that had disappeared in the past:
"I see!"
She was so excited that she couldn't even control her voice:
"That's a perfect idea! Detective, it turned out to be a good idea to ask you for help!"
She kissed Xia De on the side of his face, who was standing on the steps below her. After the kiss, she realized what she had done. Her face turned red, and she stammered as she thanked Xia De and agreed on a code word for the next time they met. Then she left, smiling and covering her face.
Xia De felt that Yin Luna was strange today.
A girl's feelings are always like this.
"Hmm... That's not something you normally say."
When I turned around and wanted to go upstairs to meet the witches, I saw that the person behind the counter was Ms. Helena Green. The latter had just seen Yin Luna's reaction after kissing Xia De at the stairs, and now she had an expression of "It's great to be young" on her face.
Xia De thought for a moment, then walked to the counter and asked in a low voice:
"Ms. Green, did you see the girl who came downstairs with me just now? According to your idea, if you want to give a birthday gift to a girl like this, what would be a good gift?"
Yin Luna's birthday is getting closer, and he plans to ask others for their opinions. Although he gave Ajielina a gift like the Broken Arm Stone Statue on her birthday, he can't make another copy of the statue.
The female shop owner behind the counter laughed, thinking that the man her aunt had found was really interesting:
"What a strange question. I think she would be happy with anything you give her."
She could see what Yin Luna was thinking. Helena Green had been helping her father run the inn since she was in her teens. She had seen too many stories and too many people... In fact, everyone could see what she was thinking except Yin Luna herself.
"Everything?"
"But if you can use the gift to highlight her uniqueness, she will probably be happier. Be thoughtful and show your good impression of her. Although some girls care more about the price of the gift, I think the brown-haired girl should pay more attention to the meaning of the gift."
Although she felt sorry for her aunts, the female owner still thought she should help the shy girl, which reminded her of her youth.
Xia De suddenly realized again:
"Unique? Good impression... What do you think of a golden apple? The kind from the story."
"Not bad, not bad. The apple itself has a good symbolic meaning... I didn't tell you anything."
The female owner raised her eyebrows, hoping very much that Megan and Audrey would never know that this was her idea.
When Shade returned upstairs, the witches had already come up with a preliminary plan for the "Green Lake Hotel Reconstruction Plan." According to the rituals arranged by Megan and Audrey in the early stage, they had to reinforce the entire building, and then deal with the doors, windows and walls separately. In the basement, which was where Shade appeared every time, they used witch secrets to arrange the core of the ritual, so that when the last resort came, the high-level sorcerers could rely on this building to stalemate with thirteen-level or even stronger enemies.
The plan is mainly carried out by Miss Carina and Megan Audrey, who are active on the north shore of Green Lake, but Miss Sylvia and Miss Benanis will also send people to help.
"So, can't you create a stable space gate between the Glass City and Green Lake City?"
When Shade came back downstairs, the witches had already discussed this topic, and Miss Carina even asked Miss Sylvia:
"Otherwise, every visit would be very troublesome."
"Galina, do you think we are still in the Fifth Era? Moreover, with the chaotic space state in the Green Lake area, which madman would dare to create a space gate? This is almost equivalent to flying by detonating a weapons warehouse."
Miss Sylvia, who was preparing to hold a ceremony to advance to the eleventh level, pointed at herself:
"If I didn't have some talent, I wouldn't even be able to teleport between the two cities. And even if I could, I can't teleport at any time."
"Why do I feel like you're bragging about yourself?"
Audrey asked, holding a porcelain teacup. Miss Sylvia seemed very pleased with herself:
"What's wrong with bragging about myself? Besides, I'm pretty good."
Seeing Xia De coming back, she said again:
"Shad, Margaret is watching a play at the Glass Bottle Opera House in the City of Glass tonight. It's a performance by the Golden Dawn Opera Company, and she invites you to go with her. Ostensibly, Audrey is invited to the play, and Margaret wants to create the impression that she is related to Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals."
"I have just accepted the invitation."
Audrey said, and Shade nodded:
"Okay. I don't have anything to do today anyway."
It was not a lie that Shad said that he had nothing to do today. He had no clue as to how to get the half skull, so he decided to wait until Father Augustus arrived tomorrow.
He had been in Green Lake City during the day, and after lunch he walked around the city, chatted with the people who were left behind in the parade, looked at the newly released playing cards in the local Prophet's Association, bought some local souvenirs in the local store, and in the afternoon he even met Miss Carina's maids who were working on a task on parchment in the porcelain shop.
But overall, not a whole lot of interesting things happened that day.
But in the evening, after Tobesk and Dorothy had finished their dinner, Shad, who had asked the blonde to look after Mia, happened to meet the doctor who was returning from an outing when he arrived at the front door of the hotel.
“This city is really dangerous.”
The doctor shook his head and said:
"I was supposed to be back at noon, but as I was walking, I found myself trapped in an alley that looped forever."
"This is really dangerous. How did you get out?"
Without the power of space, even a high-level warlock would find it difficult to deal with this kind of spatial disorder.
"I opened the maze to reshape the space, and then I encountered the relic that was about to fall and cover the alley. Fortunately, I took the bottle with me when I went out, otherwise I would be in real trouble."
This made Shade wonder if keeping the doctor in Green Lake was the right choice.
