Miss Louisa was dissatisfied with Shade's question, so she asked back:
"Shadow, why should the children be afraid? This fairy tale praises friendship and tells children that friendship will last even in the face of difficulties and setbacks. The faint sadness contained in it is even more wonderful. This is my favorite fairy tale. Although it has a sad ending like the match girl, the story of the match girl makes people feel sorry, while the story of the tree kiss makes people feel sad, and at the same time, it feels like such an ending is perfect."
A long string of words came out of his mouth, and his slightly red face showed his excitement.
Holding the cat, Shade thought about it and tried to express his own opinion:
"Miss Louisa, you see, if you understand this story in another way, the ancient tree is actually a relic or some kind of evil thing that can attract beautiful girls, cultivate them and then eat them, digesting their bodies to nourish itself..."
"That's enough, Shad, stop ruining my childhood memories."
Miss Louisa stopped Shade's "reading comprehension" with some dissatisfaction. Shade had no choice but to stop, but still asked:
“Isn’t this a horror story when you think about it this way?”
The blonde female writer looked at him with even more dissatisfaction.
"Xia De, it seems that it is really necessary for me to be your teacher and guide you to understand the enlightenment of literature. Believe me, you are still far from it now."
So the topic finally got back on track, which was the usage of the two leaves in Xia De's hand.
"What I just said is only the outline of the story. The details show that the princess put the fallen leaves of the giant tree in front of her eyes, and she was able to see the story that the giant tree wanted her to know. This fairy tale has spread far and wide, and its origin can be traced back to the Quaternary Period or even earlier. Therefore, in our culture, the action of putting leaves in front of the eyes usually represents understanding the knowledge given by the tree.
This also has a corresponding meaning in mysticism. I think all the ring masters, except you, should know it when they get the leaf."
Miss Louisa said, and Shade suddenly realized that this was why sticking the leaves on his forehead yesterday and pressing them under his pillow before going to bed had no effect:
"Then I'll try it now."
"You can do it right here. I'm actually curious about what gift the Ancient God will give you. Before this, I had never even heard of the name Ancient God."
Miss Louisa picked up her teacup, while Shade first summoned the life ring and then randomly selected one of the two leaves. After all, there was no indication on the leaf what kind of knowledge it corresponded to.
I closed my left eye tightly, and then placed the leaf in front of my right eye. A stream of cold air immediately penetrated my brain from my eyes. But it felt good, and I even felt a little bit of enjoyment.
The cold breath lasted for dozens of seconds before disappearing, and knowledge representing thaumaturgy automatically appeared in Shad's mind.
He took the leaf away from his eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the extra knowledge. Miss Louisa took the used leaf from Shade, put it in front of her eyes, tried it, found it was useless, and then put it in front of her nose and sniffed it:
"Interesting, I thought this leaf would be destroyed after use. It's really interesting that this leaf can still be used. I feel the majestic vitality. This is... Interesting, this leaf comes from the ancient god and floats out from the corridor of time you mentioned. So theoretically speaking, this leaf does not belong to this era, but from the fifth era."
The blonde writer lowered her head to observe the patterns on the leaves. She probably had some important discoveries.
"Yes."
Schade agrees.
"So, it's a relic now. When I thought about what it was, the reminder of the Whispering Element naturally came to my ears."
She handed the leaf to Shade, and the voice in Shade's ear reminded him of the whisper. As for why there was no reminder before handing it over, it was probably because the remaining power of the ancient god in the leaf was still suppressing the elements of the leaf itself.
"The Poet-level relic, the Eternal Youth Leaf, can be carried for a long time to slow down the aging of the holder's body. If it is obtained in the twenties, then the appearance will not change much when the holder is fifty. But it is just the appearance, and the age is actually still increasing.
If you hold it in your mouth, even a seriously injured person can survive for a long time, but it is still not as good as your fake immortality.
If you chew it up and eat it, as long as you have a breath left, you can fully recover. Of course, this is a waste. "
"Is this a relic? Isn't the Father of the Infinite Tree too generous?"
Xia De held the leaf in surprise, while the cat watched him eagerly.
"The Eternal Youth Leaf is a very famous relic, with obvious effects and very few side effects. The only negative feature is that if it is held in the mouth for a long time, there is a chance that it will cause the user to take root and sprout. Literally take root and sprout. The containment method is also very simple, just let it come into contact with water at least once a month to ensure the activity of the leaves."
Miss Louisa introduced that although Shade was still surprised, he was not very surprised after thinking about it carefully. Professor Garcia said that the father of the ancient god infinite tree was the world tree, and the leaves given by the world tree, even if they were not the leaves of the world tree itself, would definitely not be ordinary things.
"The Eternal Youth Leaf, like the Time Key, is a relic that is not unique in number. Although it has no combat power and its danger level is low and its effect is not very great, the price of this relic is even comparable to that of a Sage-level relic. I remember hearing from the professor that the thirteenth-ring warlock of Saint Byron, the librarian 'Red Moon Witch', had one. I have never heard of the origin of this leaf, and I didn't expect it to be related to the ancient god."
Miss Louisa said, glancing at the leaf in Shad's hand.
Shade nodded and introduced his new magic to Miss Louisa. He didn't need to learn it, because he had already mastered it.
Thaumaturgy - Blade of Disordered Time, corresponding to the Space-Time Spirit Rune. From the name of the thaumaturgy, we know that its effect is extraordinary, and in fact it is indeed so.
Using thaumaturgy requires a medium, which is any blade with supernatural properties, including alchemical items, relics, and even swords made by thaumaturgy and spells. Its effect can only work on intelligent life that can perceive time. When using it to attack, at any time within three seconds after the attack, Shade can make the same attack as three seconds ago, in the relative position of the attacked, and attack again in the same way.
Time is disrupted, and what is disrupted is the weapon's own time.
That is to say, if Shad took a ritually processed table knife and stabbed the apple, then within three seconds, at a time selected by Shad, the same table knife would stab the apple again at the same location.
What's even better is that this magic does not require actual damage to take effect. In other words, even if Shade's attack is blocked, this magic can still be triggered. The magic only requires the attack action to be performed.
