"In the next few days, I will actively participate in things on the ship. Although I don't know how to completely overcome the fear of being ignored, I think if I can be needed by everyone, everyone will say 'Ajili' when doing things.
Why didn't Na come to help? I can also find some sense of presence."
Shade leaned over slightly and looked at her:
"When I first met you last year, you still looked like an ordinary princess. Sometimes I also wonder if these changes are a little too harsh for you."
Agelina shook her head quickly:
"What's the point of being an ordinary princess? Become a sister who has both strength and power."
She was a little embarrassed again, but she did feel that the changes now were actually very good.
Shade then promised:
"I will never forget you, Agelina. I will definitely keep you in my heart."
"Really, you actually said such things. Can you kiss me?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess pointed to the side of her face, and Shade kissed her gently. Agelina immediately blushed and suppressed her laughter, said, "I'm sending little Mia to take a nap," and ran away.
"I said, why haven't you gone to find me yet? It turns out you are here to lie to Agelina."
Luvia's voice came, and when she turned around, she was standing at the corner of the corridor. It was obvious that she had not just arrived.
"Just give her some encouragement, Lecia and Dorothy will agree with me."
As he spoke, Shade waved the letter in his hand to Luvia:
"There's news from the city, do you want to take a look together?"
The church's willingness to share such important information this time can be regarded as a reward for the Witch Council's contribution in recent major events.
The letter describes the entire process of candidates belonging to the church opening their qualifications, disappearing, and reappearing with others, which provides a strong guarantee for Emilia's next actions.
It’s just that the church did not explain in the information provided which era their candidates went to and who they brought back. However, the church gave information about the prepared rituals, symbols, etc., so it is not difficult to infer where the candidates went
The era is the Sixth Age.
"But what valuable power can the Sixth Age have? I thought that the church would invest a lot of resources to allow candidates to reach the upper limit of the Sixth Age in the oldest era. Isn't it just the Thirteen Rings so far?"
Shade was very confused about this. When he sat down in Luvia's cabin, Luvia smiled and said:
"I do have a bold idea, but this is also a guess: Is it possible that the era the other party went to was the era when the righteous gods descended?"
Shade was slightly surprised. The purple-eyed fortune teller smiled and shook his head:
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The church is still our ally. Iluna will definitely come when you want to open the key on Wednesday. Don't you know if you ask her then? Take out the coins and we will
Divination officially begins."
There are currently a total of five special coins in the hands of the two of them, including the remaining [Language Expert], [Pure Light], the two [Sorrow of the Lute] given by Si Wei just now, and the ones Luvia got from the association.
The poet-level relic [upright coin], this kind of relic Shade has also obtained (593).
According to Luvia's request, the first thing to do is to make Shade immune to the effect of "time banishment".
This divination is actually very difficult, because the matter involves Shade, and even special divination using coins will encounter obstacles. Luvia thought that relying on her current close relationship with Shade, she could succeed even if she used more coins.
But she tossed three coins in succession, but failed to get any results.
Seeing Luvia reaching out to get the fourth coin, Shade quickly stopped her:
"How about changing the question to divination: If I am exiled again, how can I come back as soon as possible without any cost. Since we can't prevent the exile, let's start by returning."
Luvia nodded and threw the [Language Expert] and the [Upright Coin] into the air. This time it finally had an effect. The two coins collided with each other in the air, and after they bounced off each other, they gradually turned into
The fly ash completely disappeared before hitting the ground.
Luvia opened her eyes with joy on her face:
"The key lies in your thaumaturgy [Return of Time]. This thaumaturgy currently has two limitations. One is that it does not work on you, and the other is your timestamp.
Let’s talk about the second question first. This is actually easy to solve. As long as you leave a part of your body in ‘now’, don’t you have two timestamps?”
Shade pointed at himself in surprise:
"Although my 'active clay' can reshape the body's organs, it would be too much to leave a part of the body behind. Hair is definitely not an option. Do you want my heart? Or, can I apply for an appendix?"
“Why the appendix?”
Luvia asked curiously, and then comforted Shade:
"Don't worry, I don't really want you to cut off a part of your body. I won't let you part with it. What I mean is that you leave a part of yourself in another person, which is equivalent to binding you to a period of time.
Anchor, you will know the direction when you return."
Then she saw Shade looking at her belly. The female diviner's face turned red and she pushed the tea cup to Shade:
"What are you thinking? This is a very serious ceremony. The 'moon mark' you left on us can actually be regarded as a part of you. You can sense us because of it. This is already an anchor point.
Next, you only need your blood to strengthen this connection, and the six anchor points of Xiao Mia, me, Carina, Vanessa, Dorothy and Lecia to support you, so that you can really get lost in infinity.
In this time, you can also know the direction home. We are always waiting for you."
Shade smiled and nodded:
"Yes, yes, you always guide me in the direction of home. So what can I do if the thaumaturgic effect doesn't work on me?"
"Then enhance the effect of the ritual. You also know that although the basic spell 'Moving Object' does not work on itself, there is a 'Dance in the Sky' among the advanced spells of this basic spell."
"How do I need to enhance it? It's not convenient for me to say the source of this thaumaturgy, but at least I don't have the means to enhance it at the moment."
"That's why it costs me two coins."
Luvia said, took the notebook and started writing on it:
"You need to perform a complex ritual to sublimate this unique thaumaturgy, but don't worry. Although this ritual requires two powerful enough World Tree materials as the core of the ritual, we don't have your keys and elves' [Time]
Flute]?
You can take this list to Granny Cassandra later and ask them to help prepare it. We will go to the woods to hold the ceremony tonight."
"So, this problem is solved?"
"What else do you want? If I can't even solve such a trivial matter, isn't my value too low? Oh, I also need to remind you that even if thaumaturgy sublimates, returning from the past time is not simple.
matter.
If you don’t want to consume too much, it’s better to use thaumaturgy at the next moment of being exiled, before entering a time point that does not belong to the present, rather than casting magic after reaching an unknown time.”
Luvia teased;
"But then you won't be able to visit Ms. Carter like last time."
"It's not like I always meet that time. Why do you say it's like I'm secretly dating Miss Carter?"
Luvia smiled happily.
Shade didn't intend to stay with the remaining three coins. There were too many things he needed to know now. However, Shade didn't let Luvia divine what the seats he and the doctor saw in the forest corresponded to.
Want to know another thing:
"I want to know what those chairs mean. Although the probability is very small, if those chairs correspond to seals, and the sealed things will come out after we kill the four monsters, then the joke will be big."
"No matter how you look at it, it's not a seal."
As she spoke, Luvia picked up the [Sorrow of the Lute] again, threw it into the sky and successfully completed the divination. This also showed how difficult it is to divination things related to Shade:
"I said this is not a seal. But it is indeed part of the ceremony. Shade, you are not a student of our Astronomy College. You probably have never taken the course "Self-Concealment and Self-Proof."
She described it a little bit, but didn’t go into great detail:
"Specifically, the owner of the largest chair under the tree hid his existence in the existence of the owners of the other four chairs.
Those four things are equivalent to four keys, and they are keys that take effect together. They need to sit back on the chair at the same time before you can know what the hidden things are. Otherwise, as long as the other party is unwilling, even if it reaches you
You wouldn’t even recognize it in front of me.”
"If you can't persuade them to sit back on the chair, then you can kill them, right?"
Shade asked, Luvia nodded:
"Of course, the identity of the keys they represent is related to the power they were given, and the same goes for sending the keys back.
It seems like the branch with Mars you got is really amazing. If you find a way, others can reabsorb that branch and gain the power of the World Tree."
"But it can also be manipulated. This hidden ritual sounds really powerful."
"It goes without saying that hiding one's own existence is a conceptual operation. Shade, what we are facing this time is not an evil thing with only power. What we are facing is a real ancient being.
.
It’s stronger than the evil thing in Pantanal, stronger than the Seven-Tails Player in Moon Bay, and smarter than Audrey and Megan’s ancestors, but it’s just not a god yet.”
As she spoke, she picked up the second [Lute's Sorrow] and threw it directly without asking Shade, but the coin fell as usual and had no effect at all:
"Sure enough, it is impossible to directly know who the opponent is by relying on divination. Look, he is so powerful yet so cautious. This is the real opponent."
