Mordred gently handed the milky white finger bone to Lin Ze.
"That's right, fighting and killing hurt feelings." Sirius put away the wand, walked over and patted Mordred on the shoulder.
Mordred was obviously not used to this familiar style, so he shrank to the side.
When the three people emerged from the tree hole, the fog outside gradually receded to the edge of the forest.
Tree of Life Those translucent golden leaves were gently swirling in the wind, and the sound of the blades colliding was like glass beads rolling on the stone slabs.
Lin Ze looked back at the crack on the back of the tree trunk. The text on the edge of the crack lit up for a moment, and then darkened.
"The elf barrier on Tree of Life will repair itself." Mordred said softly, as if talking to himself or to the two of them. His familiarity with this forest was beyond their expectations.
Sirius followed him and couldn't help but ask, "How many years have you been here?"
"I've lived here on and off for almost two hundred years."
"Living in a tree hole for two hundred years?"
"The tree hole is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is better than the drafty stone houses in the capital." Mordred pushed aside a clump of hazel branches blocking the road, and turned sideways to let the people behind him pass.
The way out of the woods was much faster than the way in.
Mordred took them on another path, bypassing those cannibalistic vines and psychedelic mushroom bushes. When they arrived at the barren slopes at the border of the North, the sun had not turned west yet.
When Lin Ze used "Boundary Break" to mark the space, Mordred's eyes lit up.
He took half a step closer to look at the blue and white arc of electricity, and whispered something in his mouth.
At the door of Crow Valley's stone house, Morgana was sitting on the stone bench.
When the crack opened and Mordred walked out of it, Lin Ze noticed very accurately that Morgana's fingers trembled slightly.
Mordred stood in front of the stone house.
His two hands hung by his sides, his fingers slightly curled, completely different from the calm look before.
"Teacher..."
"Hmm."
"Are you... okay?"
Morgana sat on the stone bench and did not move.
Mordred stood three steps in front of her, looking like he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Lin Ze leaned against the door frame of the stone house, and Sirius pulled Lin Ze to the side very wisely, leaving the master and apprentice empty.
There was silence for about a cup of tea.
"Sit down." Morgana finally said, pointing to the stone bench opposite.
Mordred Sit down.
"When you took away the phalange, I thought you would destroy it directly." Morgana's voice was very calm, and there was no trace of anger.
"I've thought about it." Mordred told the truth.
"Can't you do it?"
"... Yes."
Morgana laughed, but quickly regained his composure.
"After all these years, your indecisive character has never changed. Okay, don't talk nonsense. I know what you are worried about."
"I thought about it for a long time after you left. Believe me, I have a way to prevent that so-called god from devouring me."
Mordred opened his mouth, but eventually it turned into a long sigh. He knew that he could never stop what the teacher decided.
"Give me the finger bone." Morgana said softly, and Lin Ze casually threw the "life" finger bone to her.
Morgana Hold the "life" phalanges and close your eyes.
A dark green light spread out from her palm. The light was not dazzling, but it had a thick texture, as if spring was compressed into a ball and held in her hand.
The milky white halo on the surface of the finger bone was wrapped in the green light, becoming more transparent inch by inch, and finally almost looked like a piece of jade that had been washed with water.
Lin Ze put the "wisdom" and "space" he had obtained on the stone platform.
When the blue-white electric arc on the surface of the "space" finger bone collided with the green light of the "life" finger bone, the two lights lit up at the same time, like two old friends reunited after a long separation.
Morgana took out the "death" phalanx.
The dark gray light wrapped around that finger bone, intertwined with the light from the other two, the three colors flowed, and the air around the stone platform became heavy.
All four phalanges are aligned.
"How are you going to get it?"
"Constantine died, Arthur ascended the throne, and Britain's ruling structure was completely changed." Morgana placed four finger bones in a circle on the stone platform, "This cause and effect shock is big enough, at least enough for me to dig in and look for it."
"And there is resonance between the phalanges. If all four phalanges are there, it will be easier to find the fifth one."
Morgana drew a circle of runes around the stone platform with his fingertips. After those runes lit up, the air directly above the stone platform began to distort. The degree of distortion was not large, but things were a bit shaky when viewed, like the heat wave caused by the sun on the road in summer.
"Stand away." Morgana said to the three of them.
Lin Ze led Sirius and Mordred back to the base of the stone house wall. Morgana stood in front of the stone platform, covering his four finger bones with his hands, and read something that Lin Ze could not understand. The sound was low and long, and the tail sound rippled in the forest, and bounced back when it hit the cliff.
The twisted air above the stone platform began to rotate.
The speed became faster and faster, and a black spot was pulled out in the center. The black spot expanded into a slit, and the light coming out of the slit was gray, like diluted ink.
Morgana recited the last word and pressed down with both hands.
The gap was forcibly opened, and the gray mist surging inside surged out and was pulled back by a suction force.
Morgana's figure had been half swallowed by the gray seam. Lin Ze only saw her turning her face sideways and nodding very lightly in the direction of Mordred, and then her whole body was sucked in by the gray mist.
Morgana As soon as the front foot went in, the gap shrank into a line and disappeared.
Sirius moved closer to Lin Ze and lowered his voice. "Do you think she can be found?"
"I don't know," Lin Ze said, "I'll just have to wait and see."
This wait lasted for most of the afternoon. The sun moved from overhead to the ridge to the west, the light changed from white to orange, and the wind in Crow Valley began to cool down.
Mordred has been standing next to the stone platform without moving. Sirius leaned against the wall and took a nap for two times. Every time he woke up, he would first look at the top of the stone platform, and then go back to sleep.
When it was getting dark, the calm air above the stone platform suddenly shook.
A thin crack appeared in the trembling air, and gray light shone through the crack.
The gap was torn open.
Morgana fell out of it and fell onto the stone platform, his knees hitting the table with a muffled sound.
Her robe was torn into pieces, and she was holding something in her right hand. Her knuckles were so white that no blood could be seen.
Mordred rushed to help her but was pushed away by her.
Morgana Spread your right hand.
There is a gray-white finger bone lying in the palm, which is thinner than the other four. The surface has no luster and no halo.
