I don’t know what Sister Devlin has been busy with recently. Since 1854, Shade has not been able to meet her every time he visited Cassandra Auction House. After this meeting, Shade learned that Sister Devlin had been there some time ago.
Leave Fort Midhill and assist Miss Aurora who is in contact with the [Earth-Shaking Worm] Order.
The old lady of Ilar was unwilling to hand over the god-summoning ritual easily, but finally agreed that as long as Miss Aurora helped her complete three things, the ritual information could be handed over to the Witch Council. And Sister Devlin was there to
Assist the witch to kill a giant worm hiding underground and burn it as firewood.
Now there is only one last task left for Old Mrs. Ilar. It is expected that by the end of this month, Miss Aurora will be able to get the information on the God Summoning Ceremony.
Although Sister Devlin said it very lightly, Shade could also understand the danger of this matter.
After waiting for the nun to finish speaking, Shade first talked about the current situation of the Randall Valley, and even mentioned the unknown demon, while the nun wearing a silver eyepatch just listened quietly.
The two of them were on the lowest level of the sacrificial site. In the empty circular sacrificial site, the stairs spread upward around the central open space. Most of the sacrificial site was in darkness and shadow, with only the burning brazier in the center providing some light. The nun's
The sword and the angelic relic [Ashes] were inserted diagonally in the center of the brazier, letting the strange flames burn and lick it.
After Shade finished talking about the recent events, Sister Devlin did not talk about who was most likely to be the chosen one of the earth, but said very indifferently:
"If it is one of the three ancient evil spirits and demons you mentioned, it can indeed become a good source of firewood."
Sister Devlin's usual indifferent tone is very different from that of Helena Oxenfurt. Although the tone is almost inaudible, the former can still feel the thoughts of living people, and the nun's innermost feelings occasionally revealed
The emotion is like a smoldering flame, you can feel the temperature even if you can't see the flame.
The latter is a complete lack of emotion.
As for the nun who has also taken a liking to the demon, there is no need to worry about her competing with the doctor. Dr. Schneider devours the demon, devouring the demon's power and the most important core essence, while Sister Devlin wants the pure body.
.
Although the essence of the firewood will be taken away by the doctor, the quality of the firewood will be reduced, but it will not affect the burning. For example, last year's demon Panni with the desire to proliferate, after defeating it, the doctor gave the demon's remains to Shade (Chapter 1047
).
"So are you going to Randall Valley soon? There is also a statue of the ancient space god there. If you go there, you can come back at any time."
The nun nodded:
"According to your plan, first determine the identity of the devil and its hiding place. If you need me, I can appear there at any time. There is also a Snake Heart Hospital in the Randall Valley."
Shade finally mentioned the "sands of time soaked in darkness". This time the nun did not give a direct answer, but thought silently for a while:
"Although the Sands of Time possess indescribable power, they are not the highest power. If the Sands of Time are immersed in the water outside the tidal flat where 'Real Death' is embodied, the power of death can infect these sands.
Let the sand of time affect the local time, and at the same time bring death that is more difficult to save."
In other words, the ordinary Sands of Time have the effect of increasing the probability of instant death.
"Can a pure enough power infect the Sands of Time? Real death is the end of all things and the essence of death. Its mystery and personality are indeed stronger than the simple Sands of Time. Therefore, what I am looking for is the most
The essential power of night. Isn’t that the old god [Curtain of Eternal Night]?”
The City of Eternal Night where Fiona is still staying represents the most extreme night. But Shade does not think that if the Sands of Time are brought to that city, the ordinary Sands of Time can be turned into
The items required by the mission are a bit too simple.
"But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. Maybe it's really that simple."
While thinking, the nun's cold voice sounded again:
"The pure night is related to the ancient god [Sage of the Silver Moon]. After the ancient god left, the authority of the night belonged to the old god [Curtain of Eternal Night]. This old god has long since disappeared in today's Sixth Epoch.
Gone, but the divine creation [Night] still exists. When the eras overlapped, it transformed into a relic contaminated with whisper elements, and was rated as angel level (level 1). If you want to try, I can go to the Church of Dawn to convert it
It will take at least two months to lend it out. This relic is strictly contained. Once it gets out of control, the material world will fall into a long and eternal night."
This time is a little too long:
"Are there any other similar relics or special items?"
"The Sage-level relic [Night Spring] is rumored to be the entrance to the ancient kingdom of the Third Age, the 'Kingdom of Ghosts', but it has long been lost. The Sage-level relic [Night Blade] is completely invisible in the dark night
The long sword, wielded during the day, can create darkness in a small area. It is rumored that it was once used by the old god in the form of a saint [Curtain of Eternal Night]. The last time this weapon appeared was in the year 908 of the Sixth Era.
There is no trace either."
The nun only mentioned these two clues, but they seemed to be not as easy to obtain as the angelic relic [Night] that was contained by the Church of Dawn.
"I'll think of other ways."
It's a pity that the [Impermanence of Everything and Silver Moon] in his hand is not like the other four Rhodes cards. After he witnessed the ceremony of the chosen one, he gained some strange power. Otherwise, the power of the Impermanence of Everything and the Silver Moon card may be able to directly invade
Stained by the sands of time.
"There are also very simple methods, but they may not be effective."
The nun suddenly said, and Shade looked at her.
"Although the ancient gods have long gone away, the power of the ancient gods still affects the material world. You can try to visit the 'Night Temple', which is the relics left by the night in the ancient era. The creatures in the material world worshiped the relics left by the night. Try to pray to the gods.
, maybe it will work.”
This is indeed possible, and the so-called "Night Temple" is not the ruins that Shade discovered in the Randall River Valley. That ruins are the ruins of worshiping the moon. The "Dark Night Temple" is a prayer to the night. The ancient gods have quite complex powers.
, in addition to cathedrals dedicated to the gods themselves, there are also sacrificial sites and temples that worship certain powers of the ancient gods alone.
"So do you know where the Temple of the Night is? It's best not to be too far away. I have a lot to do in the Randall Valley area recently."
So Sister Devlin ordered other nuns to go to the library to search for information, and quickly gave the results:
"There are ruins of the Night Temple in the Randall Valley area, but the ruins are in the mountains."
The map was displayed in front of Shade. Judging from the map, even if Shade could find the road, it would take at least five or six hours to reach the destination from the city. Because the ruins of the 'Night Temple' are in Rand
In the mountainous area to the east of the Er River Valley, it is an area that only hunters occasionally go deep into.
"It's in the mountains. I got guidance yesterday. If I want to get the truth about the Word of Ascension, I have to go into the mountains. Maybe I understand. Thank you for your help, Sister Devlin."
He took away the map and sincerely thanked Sister Devlin. The sister shook her head and returned to Fort Midhill with Shade.
Because there is something "big" that Stone Oxenfurt said is going to happen tonight, visiting the ruins of the ancient Night Temple will have to be postponed to Friday or even Saturday, and Shade still needs a day.
additional guides.
Originally, Shade wanted to talk to Miss Benanis about this matter. If Miss Benanis had time and could fly, it might be faster to ask her to take him there.
But as soon as he arrived at Randall Valley that afternoon, Shade was intercepted by the witch in the Church of the Forgotten:
"Oh, Shade, where did you go this morning?"
As he said that, he took Shade's hand and walked out:
"what happened?"
"The church has investigated the area around Lake Eldron you mentioned. Originally, I thought there would be no situation until tonight, but now the results have been obtained. At the bottom of Lake Eldron, a slight '
The phenomenon of "Crazy Earth". Now the bottom of the lake is spitting out black mud. That black mud flows down the river and will soon pollute the entire watershed."
She spoke quickly:
"The church is preparing for the ceremony urgently, planning to purify the pollution in the evening. But since you said something big will happen, the black mud may be just a precursor. Come with me to prepare, there may be a war tonight. I have already
Call that Miss Luvia Annat to the Wilde Opera House, and use the Power of the Earth, Summoning Stone Statue, Fertility Field, and Healing Aura, maybe we can use them together tonight."
The characteristics of the "Crazy Land" that appeared this time are different from the previous ones. This time, the characteristics are relatively simple, that is, "polluted water sources." It is not that the black mud produces toxins, or adds a curse, but directly "cleanses the water."
The concept of "dirty lake water" has been revised to "dirty lake water". After drinking it, there are all kinds of possibilities.
Or to put it more simply, this time we are spreading an epidemic that cannot be solved by ordinary people.
You must know that the Elron River, where Lake Eldron is located, is one of the two largest rivers in the Randall Valley area. It is also the most important source of water for Randall Valley City and surrounding villages and towns. Even other cities downstream rely on it.
Get water from this river.
If it hadn't been discovered in time and the pollution had just appeared, the pollution itself would have been a big problem. And this time the "Crazy Land" reappeared, the church also confirmed that the Randall Valley itself
There may have been some kind of trouble that mortals couldn't detect.
Even though the Church of the Sun has understood the "Crazy Earth" since the last era and mastered the method of eliminating it, in an era when the Witch Emperors are constantly performing and verifying their accuracy step by step, no one dares to
