When Shade, holding two leaves, walked backwards out of the bedroom door, the cat lying beside the pillow just meowed lazily, as a greeting to Shade whom he hadn't seen for three seconds.
Judging from its appearance, it has no intention of getting up now. This cat has a very regular schedule and will never get up before 6:30. At 6:30, it will wake up Shade and ask him to make breakfast.
Stranger, you have returned to the present time.
Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":
Infinite time protects you.
Listening to the voice beside him, Xia De looked at the two leaves in his hand and the black and white hairband entangled with each other with some melancholy. The hairband was successfully brought to the present, proving that they were just ordinary items:
"Something feels wrong this time."
What's wrong
"There was no conspiracy, no surprise attack at the last minute, and even no task that I couldn't solve. Although it took a week to complete and three weeks to finish, this cocktail party actually ended peacefully..."
Do you want drama, or a final fight with a blood-sucking god
"No, it's just..."
Shade had an indescribable feeling. He always felt that this matter was not over yet, but the two leaves in his hand undoubtedly showed that the time key of the Fifth Epoch 3014 had been perfectly solved.
"Am I overthinking?"
He walked to the window and looked outside. It was still early, and there were not many people in Saint Teresa Square. He looked at the leaves in his hand again, picked one at random and put it in front of his right eye.
The veins of the leaves turned golden in an instant. The miraculous spiritual light flowed along the veins of the leaves until it became tiny dots of light and all poured into Shade's eyes.
"I see. Thaumaturgy - Silent Moonlight is really simple."
Silent Moonlight, active thaumaturgy.
When using magic, if it is during the day or at night without moonlight or indoors, an invisible moon-like light source will appear above your head; and under the moonlight at night, the effect will be more obvious.
The above are the light and shadow effects that come with the magic. The real effect is that within the range covered by the strange light and shadow, the spiritual and physical recovery speed of the ring warlock selected by the caster can be greatly enhanced, and all sounds in the area are automatically muted, and other unnatural light sources except moonlight will be weakened.
In other words, no matter who uses magic such as "light magic" or Filianna's witch light in the silent moonlight area, the range and effect will be severely weakened. When Shade uses this magic in the sun during the day, it is equivalent to him suddenly automatically entering a silent shadow area.
The silencing and extinction effects of the magic are ranged, and the recovery of physical strength and spirit can only be effective for other people. But in the "Divine Afterglow" state, it can also be effective for oneself. In other words, even if Shade enters the narrow space between life and death again, he can rely on this magic to offset the negative impact of the difficulty in recovering spirit and physical strength to a certain extent.
Because the casting cost of this magic is extremely low.
But Silent Moonlight is also the first magic that Xia De has mastered through the Leaf of Eternal Youth that requires materials for casting. The required material is a mineral called "Moonstone". Fortunately, this stone is not very rare and is often used in various rituals, spells, and magic related to the moon. It is also very cheap.
“This ability is really good.”
Xia De whispered, then looked at the second leaf and put it in front of his right eye.
After a moment, he cried out in pain and held onto the windowsill to steady himself, startling the cat that was squinting at him.
The second leaf was a piece of real information-elf, and the amount of information contained in it was at least three times more than the intelligence found in the last dark dungeon.
When Shad frowned and took the leaves away from his eyes, he learned about the alien creatures - elves. In the ancient era, more than 80% of the population believed in the Father of Infinite Trees. He knew many strange elven customs and elven art styles. He knew the racial talents of this creature. He even knew that now in the year 1853 of the Sixth Era, the elves lived with the three major thaumaturgy academies because the material world was no longer suitable for the survival of alien creatures.
The three major thaumaturgical academies, St. Byron's Comprehensive College is located north of the great ice cap in the far north, the Serkses Higher Medical School is in the abyss of the deep sea, and the Zaras School of Spells is on a floating island in the sky.
Although they are called academies, each place is a huge city with the academy as its center. The elves are protected by the three academies, so although only legends are left in the material world, in fact this race still exists safely.
Among them, the number of elves living with the Zaras Academy of Spells is the largest, accounting for about three-quarters of the total population of elves in the material world. Therefore, among the ring sorcerer students of Zaras, the elves are the most numerous.
"Why did the Infinite Tree Father tell me this? Did he want me to write a book called "A Study of Ancient Elves' Folklore" or did he want me to summarize the student source situation of the three major thaumaturgy academies?"
In addition to enriching Shad's understanding of the world and the three major schools of thaumaturgy, the knowledge of the elves contained in this information may be helpful to him when he is involved in rituals related to life, time, etc. in the future.
But given the current situation, this knowledge is of no use at the moment.
"If I ever become a teacher at St. Byron's, I could write a book."
Thinking in his heart, Xia De sat down on the bed and looked at the headbands given to the twin girls:
"Another souvenir. Feliana's notes from the Thousand Trees Forest, the card Future Man from the Dreadfort, the black and white headband from the Night Manor... It seems that except for Hope Town, I can always get some souvenirs after completing the Time Key mission."
Are you sure there are no souvenirs in Hope Town
She asked with a chuckle. Xia De thought about it and then laughed:
"Oh, it's God's gift box! Because I can't bring extraordinary items back from the past, so that gift box was given to me during my time in the Sixth Epoch."
He looked down at the headband in his hand. Because the twin girls Grace and Helen had carried it with them since they were young, even though the headband itself was made of special material, it had turned yellow and worn after being carried for more than ten years and brought from the past to the present by Shade.
"I hope they can successfully escape their fate, and the danger they were originally trying to seal away can be successfully resolved."
Xia De thought about it in his heart, but that was a thing in the distant past, and he had no way of being sure how the story of the twin girls would develop.
The story of the past has long ended, but for outsiders, the story of the present continues.
