Seeing Shade say this, the Countess of Yuewan reminded her again:
"But there are still some unresolved questions. Who is the counterpart of water among earth, wind, water, and fire? There are also two candidates among the seven who are still missing. Didn't you say that Emilia is only the second candidate?"
"If there are doubts, there are actually many. For example, I have always suspected that maybe Flora's missing uncle will jump out and become the most powerful enemy in the end."
Shade said with a smile, and a question mark immediately appeared on Miss Owl's head. But after making a joke, Shade also talked about his real thoughts:
"The Bennet family will definitely have a candidate, but I'm just not sure if it's the most critical first candidate. As for other questions, don't worry, the answer will come to me before I find the answer."
"So who are you going to deal with first? The dragon beast? The guardian of the paradox bug? Or the mysterious Bennet?"
Xiwei also asked Shade, and Shade took away the hand touching the cat:
"There is no rush about Bennet. There are some things I still need to confirm. Luvia, you and Bella must confirm the origin of the four Bennet children as soon as possible."
If all the Bennets are eliminated at once, and then it is discovered that the person who should be "debt collected" is dead, then the job of Desire will not be completed, and Shade does not want to run into death to collect debts.
"As for the Paradox Worm Watcher, although we are now certain that we can defeat it, I am worried that once we do, hundreds of insects will rush out. The hermits of the [Forest Hermits Group] have said that they sleep here.
There are tens of thousands of bugs. Miss Danister, go communicate with the three major colleges and the church and prepare for a big battle. Iluna, the final battle with the Watchers will require your balancing power to suppress them.
Now, let’s deal with the dragon beast first.”
"Are we going to destroy Jindel's grave in the dragon beast's lair? If we want to do this, we need to prepare in advance to prevent the curse in Flora from appearing again."
Bella reminded, but Shade shook his head:
"I'm going to the forest to see the tomb with my own eyes. If there's nothing I can do, I'll destroy the tomb."
In other words, if there is a way, Shade still doesn't want to do such an immoral thing, and the girls all think that this is indeed what Shade would choose.
What followed was a series of battles, and everyone on the ship became busy. As for the task of taking Shade to the dragon beast's lair, it was Sylvia and Flora who completed it, because they were the only ones who had the most leisure time at the moment.
However, before setting off, Sylvia had to explain to Dorothy about the semi-permanent teleportation array. Flora wanted to arrange for Miss Bell to continue transferring information with the church, so they asked Shade to wait for a while.
After all, it was early in the morning, and there was no rush for time. So after everyone dispersed, Shade went to confirm the harvest of the time key.
The first and most important thing is the [Eternal Youth Leaf] that Shade is holding in his hand at this moment. Before that, for the "Proof of Time" ceremony, he gave both leaves in his hand to the Witch Council, leaving only
The piece he obtained after destroying the tree hole. With this piece, the reserve of leaves in his hand returned to two pieces.
Of course, although the leaves themselves are valuable, what is more important is the knowledge contained in them.
Under the gaze of little Mia on the table, Shade placed the leaf in front of his right eye. Then the golden light flowed into Shade's eyes along the fine veins of the leaf, "A piece of real information - an extra core
"Spirit Rune" was known to Shade.
This is information, not power, so it is not for Shade to directly obtain the third core spirit rune. After taking away the leaf, he closed his eyes and digested it for a moment before fully understanding the content. Just like Shade's initial guess,
This is indeed a method of obtaining core spiritual runes that is only for himself. After all, the direction of this method is too clear:
【Completely understand one's own origin, re-perform the "rebirth ceremony" at the place of birth, and obtain the following components:
The blood of the admired person is like silver but not red;
The mark of the guardian, the supreme power;
The roots of those who teach, the curse corrodes the remains;
The phalanges of people who read astrologers guide their destiny;
The hair of the man who chases the moon, his devout faith;
The existence of the sacrificed person is proved by substitution.
After completing the ritual, any acquired spiritual runes can be converted into core spiritual runes. The type of spiritual rune elements is determined by the type of the original spiritual runes.】
Although the final "result" was very clear, in general, Shade didn't understand a word about the middle process.
The general meaning should be to know "something", and then go to "a certain place" to perform a "certain ceremony", which requires six items. In other words, there are nine puzzles in this "riddle" waiting for Shade to solve, which means
Some are too exaggerated.
"She" chuckled in his ear, and Shade touched the cat lying on the table. In fact, although he didn't know the answers to some of the "puzzles", he instinctively guessed them:
"The blood of the admired person is like silver but not red - this is the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
【Why?】
"I feel like it's the Philosopher's Stone, but it shouldn't be an ordinary Philosopher's Stone. The roots of the person who taught, the cursed remains - this refers to the cursed tree that turned into after the death of Ms. Helena Carter.
Roots?"
【Why?】
"After all, roots and curses, I can only think of this, and she did teach me. The finger bones of the astrologer, the finger bones of the astrologer Euclid, guide destiny?"
【Why?】
"This figure from a hundred years ago is really too mysterious, and when I think of him and of Ms. Helena Carter, there is a common reason: they were both suspected to have died at the 'Moon Tower' on Mount Karas.
Didn’t I already understand a long time ago that this place has a very important relationship with me?”
The "she" in my ear continued to smile softly and asked in a light tone:
[So, the location of the ceremony is the collapsed tower on Mount Karas? 】
Although Shade's eyes were looking at the void in front of him, he actually didn't pay attention to anything in his vision. The maids were cleaning the banquet hall and did not disturb him. He put his right hand on the table and clicked on it:
"It's probably there, but why are these people who died on Karas Mountain related to my extra core spirit runes? What's left is the hair of the moon chaser. I suddenly thought of Miss Bister, but this
What does it have to do with her? I probably only thought of her because I just broke up with her.
Miss Bister lives in the fifth era, and she is not a special existence like Miss Elisa. The existence of the sacrificed person is the most difficult to understand. There is also the mark of the guardian, the Supreme, um, I don't understand."
"Meow~"
Little Mia put her paw prints on the back of Shad's hand on the table, but the force was very light, as if she was stepping on his hand.
"The last step is to 'completely understand one's own origin'. Isn't this what you once mentioned, my path to being a demigod?"
【So do you know your origin?】
"I know I'm here because of Luvia, but that's my soul."
He took out the hand that was stepped on by little Mia and pressed it on his chest:
"I definitely did not bring this body from my hometown, and I am now certain that the results of the background check conducted by the college on me are also incorrect. Therefore, the answer to where this body came from is probably also there.
At a collapsed tower."
This time "she" didn't speak anymore, just smiled softly, so Shade summed it up:
"Of the nine puzzles, five of them, 'Origin', 'Place', 'Blood of Admiration', 'Root of Teaching' and 'Bone of Astrology', all need to go to that high tower to understand. And the 'Rebirth Ceremony' protects the seal.
I still need to understand the existence of "Moon Chasing Mao" and "Sacrifice."
He thought for a while and shook his head:
"But I always feel that these are also related to the collapsed moon tower."
[This does not seem to be something that can be solved in a short time.]
"Yes, if it is really solved, I feel like I might become a demigod all of a sudden."
Schade said this, and this was not a joke. The tower must be closely related to his appearance, although he only left No. 6 Saint Teresa Square in Tobesk on the "Silver Moon Shining Day" in the summer of 1853.
This journey began in the bedroom on the second floor, but the time and place when he arrived in this world were definitely not that time and place.
There are various indications that the answer is most likely the spring of 1853, and it is also related to the fall of the tower.
But from this point of view, he doesn't have to worry about it at all. Even if he hasn't obtained the third core spirit rune yet, after he reaches the ninth level, he can still prepare the words of sublimation for the high level immediately.
He only needs to determine what core spiritual rune he wants, then obtain that spiritual rune before being promoted to the thirteenth ring, and finally convert it into a core.
Therefore, Shade had a strong hunch that the acquisition of the third core spirit rune would probably not be a recent thing, or even this year. It would be a long time later. He just hoped that this matter could
Get answers before "it's over".
Thinking in his mind, he put his hand into his pocket and took out the souvenir of this time adventure, which was the silver crescent-shaped pendant that Miss Bister threw to him at the end. He looked at the pendant with his eyes and pointed at the belly of his fingers.
Gently rubbing:
"My soul came because of the impossible miracle caused by Luvia, so who did my body come from?"
【Maybe it's little Mia.】
"She" said with a smile.
"Meow~"
The cat squatted obediently on the table and looked up at Shade, hoping that Shade would reach out his hand as soon as possible.
"Yes, maybe. 'Re' hold the rebirth ceremony. Is it a ceremony to celebrate new life, or a ceremony to give new life?"
