Chapter 270 Fifth Era 3002

At the house in Saint Teresa Square, Shade disappeared and the door fell on on the floor, but Shade didn't feel himself moving.

After sticking his fingers into the white fog hanging on the door, he thought that he was standing still, the door in his hand disappeared, and the white fog that emerged around him instantly completely engulfed the second floor of Sainte-de-Land Square. living room.

looked towards the small cat-shaped puppet in his hand, it was brought in, and the voice of "her" came from his ear.

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". ]

[Message from Ancient God "Father of Infinite Trees":]

[In the autumn of 3002 of the Fifth Age, Western Continent, the Forest of Thousand Trees. ]

[Event: Calling God ceremony - Contact the old god "The Gate of Glory". ]

[Duration thirty minutes (1/3). ]

"Sure enough, this key can be used multiple times, not only the number of times of use is stated for the first time, but also the single time is longer!"

Shade stared wide-eyed, because the following information is the key:

"Does the Ancient God of Time have a mission for me?"

[You have additional information. ]

[The silhouette of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. ]

[The Ancient God of time will test you. ]

[Assist mortals to complete the ceremony - contact the old god "The Gate of Glory". ]

[Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: A piece of historical truth (Demoness War at the end of the Fifth Age), Mystic Art - Space Stabilization Aura. ]

The voice stopped, and Shade stood in the white fog and frowned:
"Rewarding the truth of history? Well, there is such a good thing?"

Although not this time spirit rune, but the truth of history given by the Ancient God, no matter how you think about it, is definitely of great value. even more how, about the War of Demonness at the end of the Fifth Age, is itself related to the "Whispering Poems" and the Secrets of the End of the Age. Even if it's really useless to Shade, presumably Miss Galina won't care about spending money to get some hidden history from Shade.

He looked towards the white mist around him, his face still so serious:

"But this time the mission is to help mortals get in touch with the gods, that is, when the mission is completed. , I can only see the old gods, which would be troublesome."

He thought that this time, he also saw the gods directly. If he encounters a good deity like the [Innocent Creator] like last time, he will get enough knowledge to use divinity.

This time it is to help mortals call gods, and a time travel is highly unlikely to be completed. But on the bright side, this kind of task is better than dealing with the old Evil God, and he also gets an extra 30 minutes to think about what to do when he gets back.

"However, I've never heard of the old god 'Yaobianmen', is it that kind of unknown old god?"

I thought to myself, no more waste time, but moving forward.

The surrounding white mist dissipated, and the cicadas chirped louder and louder in the silence, followed by the more imperceptible sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. Stepping into the night forest, everything was quiet, as if everything had fallen into a deep sleep.

Without changing Mia back from the puppet state, Shade stood in the forest and looked towards all around. No matter what life it was, this was the first time he came to the real primitive forest.

The rays of light of the three moons, from the overlapping of the dense canopy overhead, cast mottledly to the ground. Those shadows swayed slightly because the wind blew the branches of the trees. It was really dark around, as if in the darkness between the trees and the weeds, something was watching him.

Once thinking of this, panic involuntarily rises inside. This emotion is completely abnormal, compared to being watched by Evil God a few minutes ago, the strange environment at this moment It shouldn't be scaring him.

"The Forest of Thousand Trees has the same problems as Hope Town."

The wind is blowing gently, and the rustling sound in my ears is like the overlapping of countless Whisper . Nausea gradually emerged, causing Shade subconsciously to raise his hand to cover his head, while double visions and hallucinations appeared before his eyes, but maybe not hallucinations at all. He saw that all the trees around him had their eyes open.

Those eyes were watching him, and the headache was getting stronger.

"The first time I went to Hope Town, I was surrounded by strange scenes. Why is it like this every time?"

There was a little light in the trees in front of him, so he endured the headache Running forward, after ripping off the grass in front of him, the warm light immediately shone on his face.

He stumbled out of the grass, and the smell of dampness and corruption in the forest was swept away. The air is fresh and dry, and there is even a faint scent of high-grade spices.

Shade had only smelled something like that on Miss Galina.

After running out of the bushes, there is a towering giant tree in front of you. Compared to the tree in front of me now, the 【corpse tree】 I saw not long ago was as short as a weed.

This is a real giant tree, there are no other trees under the tall canopy, and Shade is standing in the clearing under the canopy at this time.

A bonfire is lit near the base of the tree trunk, the color of the flame is scarlet gold dazzling. It was this fire that dispelled the strange sounds and atmosphere around, making this open space not as dangerous as the forest behind it, but rather warm.

There are two simple cloth tents next to the campfire, with kettles, Small Mirrors, wooden bowls, wooden boxes, water basins for soaking clothes and other clutter.

Three hooded women sit by the campfire like still statues. The women took off their hoods and lifted the head when they heard the sound of Shade walking out of the grass.

【Have you forgotten something? ]

The whispering voice in my ear asked softly.

Shade stood on the edge of the clearing, which was also on the edge of the bonfire, and his shadow swayed and projected onto the tall grass behind him because of the flickering firelight.

Listening to the sound of firewood crackling in the fire, Shade had an ugly look on his face:
"Oops!"

Last encounter in the Fifth Age When I arrived at the gods, and this time, I met mortals in the fifth era. The fifth era is characterized by the fact that only women can use supernatural powers, and the Demoness has a special dislike for men. Since the ceremony can be performed, the three women in front of him must be Demoness.

"How do I explain the reason for my appearance now?"

He was a little embarrassed.

The three demoness by the bonfire have stood up, and the young lady on the far left said:
"teacher, someone is coming, oh, it seems to be a man. Something is wrong, I don't feel strange about him Is it an Illusion Technique?"

It's a language I haven't heard before, but Shade can understand it.

The young lady on the far right said:

“teacher, he actually dares to enter the depths of the Forest of Thousand Trees at night, even we dare not do so. Teacher, I understand Now, this is a monster made by the malicious forest, this is not a human being."

The woman holding a book in the middle looked towards Shade, she looked twenty three-four years old, with fair skin like milk , Golden's long hair is extremely dazzling, and golden's pupils are really glowing. There is a bonfire nearby, and the shadows of the Demones are cast on the giant tree behind them.

Somehow, Shade thought that the face of the woman in the middle called "teacher" seemed familiar.

The lady seemed unusually calm:
"I have said many times, don't look at the appearance, look at the essence. I saw the aura of life in him, the normal aura, which means that he He is a normal human being. I also saw the ether flowing in his body, although it is weak, but extremely dazzling, which shows that he is a mortal who can use extraordinary power. There is no trace of Illusion Technique, and Demonness does not allow gender transformation, so, This is a normal man who can use supernatural powers."

Shade didn't speak, he looked at the woman standing in the middle, trying to hear what she was trying to say.

Since the Ancient God asked him to help mortals complete the ceremony, the difficulty must not be to gain the trust of the other party, otherwise three and a half hours of travel would definitely not be enough. But even if the other party is a stranger with good intentions, it does not mean that he can let his guard down.

"teacher, is this normal?"

The young Demoness on the far left asked inquiringly, and the woman called "teacher" asked her students:
"What else did you see in him?"

"The light of the silver moon."

Demoness replied on the right.

"The breath of the tree."

Demoness replied on the left.

"teacher" shook his head:

"His ether, not in our form, but in a strange form I've seen at Southern Continent. Ring warlock, this man is not Demoness, he is a quite mature transcender of the warlock system, he—"

Demoness' golden eyes met Shade, and Shade understood what the other party wanted to say. Demons who can hold a god-calling ceremony, and even let Ancient God - the father of the infinite tree to send a helper, are really extraordinary:

"From the future."

It is so easy to be caught Seeing through the identity, but this is more convenient for Shade, he doesn't have to explain his identity.

In addition, the other party's extensive knowledge and powerful strength also shows that their ceremony is very likely to be successful, and it is not for Shade to build it from scratch.

"Yes, I do come from the future."

He didn't quibble, but soon after seeing the Demoness look suspicious. Only then did he think that the common language of the sixth era he used was completely incomprehensible to the other party.

I wanted to gesture to express my meaning, but I saw Demoness, called "teacher", whispering to the young lady beside her. The latter got into the tent behind him and took out a small box.

"If you trust us and don't mean anything, just get closer."

Demoness said, Shade nodding, approaching the campfire vigilantly. He noticed circles of golden dust scattered across the clearing around the campfire. Every time Shade crossed a line, the dust would make a high-pitched whistle or glow, which should be some kind of warning.

He came to the campfire and the Demones, known as "teacher", handed him the box with a brooch in it. The shape of silver itself is the meaning of the ancient rune "language". After touching the brooch and confirming that it was a relic, Shade pinned it to his chest:
"What's the use of this?"

"We understand what you said."

Demoness on the right said, and then introduced:
"This is a relic [translation brooch], didn't expect to be useful for future languages. There should be a relic system in the future, right? You should know what I'm talking about What."

They motioned Shade to sit down and talk, and they seemed to accept the man in front of him as a future man.

The three Demoness wanted to come and see more amazing things, so Shade nodded and sat down with them.

It's a good start, even without direct contact with the good gods this time.

PS: Guess who "teacher" is.
