Before heading to Moonlight Garden, you still need to make some preparations.
Farosha deduces the future in the secret room, trying to predict misfortunes and blessings. Witches lack the ability to predict, but now that Farosha has become a new god, she can also capture fate from the void. If used properly, she can also lay out plots and arrangements.
General trend.
Because it was performed with the Supreme Magic Power instead of the Queen's Magic Power, the transformation was relatively superficial, but Falosa still made great progress, from physical strength to intelligence, almost to the point of transcendent existence.
The witch itself is an inhuman thing and has already passed the threshold of transcendence, but now she is adapting smoothly.
While Falosa was counting the days, Xu Yang also issued reports and plans before leaving, made personnel appointments and dismissals, and maintained the good operation of the company's systems to ensure a smooth New Year.
He observed the topographic maps of the seven islands in the north. Currently, except for the two southernmost islands that were captured by the Blackfire Revolution, the other five islands are connected to each other by cross-sea bridges. They are not far apart.
Xu Yang's eyes left Anjiu City and turned to the other islands. Major cities such as Chiquan, Yinbei, Ooka, Ogata, etc. all have populations of tens of millions. In addition, there is Shangjing, which was the capital of the archipelago in ancient times and has gathered today.
With a population of 50 million, endless wealth, and advanced technology, it is one of the world's leading megalopolises. The situation is extremely complicated, and we need to intervene slowly.
Kyoto is infinitely weakened, Xi Sheng is divided, the global economy is in decline, Black Fire Innovation and Xia are launching a strategic decisive battle. A series of events have caused the entire archipelago to be turbulent, the situation is turbulent, and undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.
Xisheng Defense Company and Xisheng Industrial Group have reached a cooperation and have become a new force rising in the northern archipelago. They have inherited the financial power void left by Noriko Honma after his exile, replaced the lost Kyoto Infinite, and have vaguely become a "new giant enterprise"
The trend is growing wildly in the current blank area.
Xu Yang naturally wanted to stop it with all his strength.
He intends to accumulate strength, and then act at the right time to clean up the world and rebuild the sun and the moon. As Nisto Company has reached today, its power has begun to take shape, and it cannot be said that there is no chance.
However, you still have to be cautious. Extraordinary power lurks in every corner of the world, and giant corporations on other continents also control reality manipulators with extremely terrifying power.
This is why Xu Yang is particularly interested in the "Transcendent Alliance" proposed by Mondstadt. In addition to "Moonfire" Mondstadt, the Lord of the Forest and the Flame of the Sun are also potentially powerful allies.
"It's time to set off." Falosa's calculation was not very accurate, but it was generally a good omen.
Xu Yang investigated the communication ritual recorded in the magic book. The ritual generally required some offerings. Xu Yang took out a gold bar he had accumulated before and consumed it according to the ritual.
"Moonfire" Mond was called by the established ritual and also responded to the small call of the mortal world, so the gold disappeared in front of them, replaced by a faint moon-marked secret text.
"This is it." Farossa said, "Teleportation Talisman."
"There is additional content in the spell book, mentioning that it is elegant and ancient." Xu Yang browsed the pages of the book, "The ancient exorcists used all the beautiful words to describe this god, trying to describe it as a supreme existence that is at the same time as the heaven and earth.
."
"It is not dead, but it will decay." Farosha whispered, "It is much older than a thousand years ago. Ha... The fate of almost all dragons is to be hunted. Death is inconsistent with the law, and its mentality is also certain.
Very contradictory."
"Then... let's go." Xu Yang said.
"We don't need to hide our intentions," Falosa said. "Mond has gone through time, but it's even more difficult to beat around the bush."
There are no eternal allies. Xu Yang thought of what Mond had said before. Unknown murderous intentions had emerged in Farosha and Mond. They never trusted each other. This meeting was purely an exchange of interests.
They held hands and then touched the secret talisman together. In an instant, the world changed and they were already in a beautiful illusion.
This is a foreign space similar to Nanggong Island. It is in a state of eternal night. The high moon is in the sky, and the clear light shines on the ground. Long-lived trees stand on the earth like giants, with lush branches and leaves.
Looking around, the grass on the ground is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the breeze is dancing under the moonlight, the scenery is ancient and exquisite, Xu Yang feels unprecedented tranquility and peace, this is an extremely peaceful occasion, as if time has slowed down. It makes people want to travel quietly here, it is indeed an excellent place to relax.
"Welcome to my little world, Moonlight Garden." An elegant voice sounded.
Mond appeared, and it changed its appearance again this time.
Xu Yang saw a phantom dragon-man appearing at the edge of the woods. It had the head of a dragon and the body of a human. It was covered with frost-white scales. In its dark blue eyes were a pair of pale, upright children. It was wearing a carefully tailored coat and even clothes. They all seem to be sewn with magical power, exuding a little bit of starlight and having an extraordinary temperament.
"You seem to be in a hurry to see me, why?" Falosa responded elegantly. She stood there, not in a hurry to move, neatly dressed, with a neon cape on the outside of her dress, making it even more dazzling.
"You are ten times more arrogant than before." Mond shook his head.
"Let's go." Xu Yang moved forward, and Mond also walked towards Xu Yang, stretched out his paw and shook his hand, his scales as cold as ice.
"In short, Xu Yang, Falosa," it nodded, "you are my distinguished guests today, and I must entertain you well. Please come with me."
It led Xu Yang and the others to the open space in the center of the forest, where a silver pavilion had already been built, with a set of tables and chairs for banquets placed in the center. Mond had already made full preparations for entertaining guests.
Mond temporarily left the clearing and went to prepare. He slapped the grass with his long tail, and then disappeared into the twinkling stars.
"What a weird experience." Xu Yang tried to sit down on one of the stone chairs, "Moonlight Garden."
"This is opened up in the vast void space with the sand of stars." Falosa observed the empty barrier at the end of the garden, "Every ancient mystic has such a private domain, and Nanggong Island is our private domain. If new star sand can be found, it can continue to expand."
Xu Yang looked at the forest outside the clearing. The ring-shaped forest trees stood tall in the sky. At the end of his field of vision was the boundless fog. Nothing could be seen clearly. Everything was isolated behind the curtain constructed by the mysterious person.
He discovered that there were countless crystals in the forest, and hundreds of different creatures were imprisoned for viewing like specimens, which aroused Xu Yang's great interest.
What is... locked in the crystal?
Mond didn't know where to go to make preparations, so Xu Yang simply left the pavilion temporarily and went to look at the crystals.
Through the mist, Xu Yang saw a translucent demon spirit imprisoned in the crystal cage. It looked weird and ferocious, staring fiercely at Xu Yang and Falosa outside the crystal, constantly trying to hit the crystal prison, trying to get out of it. Escape.
"Magical life." Falosa observed carefully, "This monster is completely composed of magic power."
She unfolded the brilliance of her colorful cloak, and the demon spirit suddenly became very docile, even a little awed, and quietly sank to the bottom of the crystal, worshiping Falosa's divine power.
"This is the volume created by a queen five thousand years ago." Mond suddenly appeared from the moon-white light. "Her magic power is to cast the demon spirit army. One person can create tens of millions of monsters."
The demonic creatures ruled that era."
"Five thousand years?" Xu Yang looked at the crystal, and the years were compressed into a square inch.
"It freezes time." Mond is proud of his power to control time and space. "This is a handicraft designed by me, and there are many more in the forest."
Witherworm tricks. Farosha's secret passage.
"You are not the queen yet." Mond seemed to be able to tell. It observed Falosa, "You are still at the level of the Supreme Witch."
"It's a matter of time." Falosa said with contempt.
Xu Yang turned his head and saw a tall humanoid being imprisoned in another crystal. It looked very much like a human, but was extremely majestic. It was at least 2.5 meters tall, with pale skin and no hair, deep eyes, obvious muscle distribution, graceful lines, and complete fitness.
It is...a more advanced human being. Now he is also trapped in the crystal created by Mondstadt, unable to move, almost as if he is dying.
"This is..." Xu Yang observed.
"An old man." Mond liked this artwork. "I captured a surviving old man and hid it here. They have not spoken a word for three thousand years. They are a proud race."
He was so proud that he fled into the giant tower and resisted the appearance of a witch in the tribe. Xu Yang secretly thought.
When the old man saw Xu Yang and Falosa, he frowned slightly in the crystal, but said nothing.
"Come on, I have prepared food for you." Mond led them back and strode towards the pavilion.
Falosa and Xu Yang followed Mond.
"This dragon was once our slave."
A faint whisper suddenly sounded in her heart. Falosa frowned and turned to Xu Yang. He nodded slightly and heard the same voice. When they turned back, they saw the "old man" winking at them.
They also saw the demon spirit kneeling at the bottom of the crystal, devoutly watching Falosa go away, as if they saw the glory of the former queen in Falosa.
In the pavilion, Mond was ready this time, preparing a table full of food for them. The moon silver tableware was as exquisite as a work of art. The strange beasts raised by the Lunar Dragon Clan were cut and cooked, turning into juicy steaks and mellow red wine.
Packed in a cup, the color is like blood. The magic herbs are cultivated and grown through secret techniques, and turned into a meal salad, exuding a wonderful fragrance.
"Now, I welcome you to the Moonlight Garden again." Mond invited Farosha and Xu Yang to take a seat, "Farosha, you must be proud to be the God of Witches, but the real god is far more than that."
"How can I become a true witch god?" Xu Yang asked.
"You also roughly understand," Mond said, "Most gods confirm their power by swallowing a certain concept. Yanduo is the person of the sun, I am the person of the moon, and Mika is deception."
Diernai has captured good and evil, and Orsian has captured the sea. Falosa secretly said.
"...So." Xu Yang speculated, "The current Falosa is far from being able to completely swallow the concept of 'witch' itself."
"Yes..." Mond nodded, "Then, the answer is ready to come out - if you want to truly become the god of 'witches', you must complete earth-shattering events and prove that she has influence and control over witches around the world.
.Otherwise, she will not be able to prove that she has such power."
