Chapter 2402 [Crystal of Truth] and [Saint White Hall]
But Xia De didn't want to do so. The past story had ended. He didn't need to explore whether their marriage was happy, whether they were urged to have children soon, whether there would be marital conflicts, etc. after the ending of the fairy tale "The princess and the prince lived happily together from then on".
"But now that this is mentioned, I remember something."
Audrey, who also appeared in the restaurant while Shade was telling the story, said that Shade couldn't tell whether it was Megan or Audrey just by looking at it. Theoretically, the twin witches were the same person:
"Do you know, Shade, that Lady of Mist is also the God of Mist? In fact, there is a saying that she has a significant connection with the ancient god Silver Moon Sage. The scale of this lady's cult is not large. Since the ancient times, whenever she appears in the material world, she must appear in the thick fog on a moonlit night."
"So, it is unreasonable for this god to appear in such a hot desert."
Luvia concluded, looking at Shade with a smile:
"He can't be waiting for you specifically, right?"
"Oh, Luvia, have reverence for the gods."
The stranger said this to the local girl, and the purple-eyed girl nodded with a smile on her face, but she still looked like she wanted to tease Xia De.
"In short, Shade's time travel was really rewarding. It's a pity that he can't open his new puzzle lock now, otherwise everyone can go back to the age of 18."
Miss Aurora said with a smile, and all the ladies laughed.
Shad continued to eat breakfast, Luvia and Miss Belindel went to check the glowing box and armor, and Miss Aurora and Audrey sat at the table to study Miss Knight's knight's sword.
If this long sword that changed due to the "birth" of the witch was not a souvenir of Shade, they would have kept it in the [Witch Council] no matter what:
"This is the second hero that Shade has witnessed drawing a sword. Yes, Miss Knight is worthy of being called a hero. It's a pity that she is not in modern times, otherwise I would really like to meet her."
Xia De was not idle while eating. Of course, this did not mean that he was feeding the cat or reading the newspaper, but that he was absorbing the knowledge and power from the two [Leaves of Eternal Youth].
One piece represented the information of the Holy White Chapel, and the other piece represented the magic "Crystal of Truth" corresponding to "Prejudice". Shade swallowed the bread in his mouth, picked up a piece at random and put it in front of his right eye.
Then the golden light flowed along the veins on the surface of the emerald green leaves, until Xia De's entire right eye was dyed golden.
After a moment, Shade put the leaf down. The first leaf was magic:
"I have acquired a new magical power. Who wants to try it out?"
He asked the girls, and as they looked over here curiously, he stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up. Some imperceptible streams of light gathered above his palm until they condensed into a translucent white crystal.
Although the Edge of Life and Death had been closed, the glowing fog that had appeared had not disappeared. The gas lamps were on in the room, and even in this environment, the witches and Luvia could still observe that the crystal itself was glowing slightly.
"What effect?"
Luvia asked curiously.
"Thaumatology - Crystal of Truth. It has only one effect: revealing the hidden truth. Of course, this does not allow me to directly know the truth of a certain issue, but after activating the crystal, it can break the illusion, invisibility and some deformation spells within a certain range around it and return it to its original appearance.
I don't know yet whether it will work for the 'hidden passage' in the basement. Oh, the effect of this magic is extremely powerful. If I want, I can even wash away all the makeup on your faces with the effect of the crystal, or make all the clothes in a certain range transparent. Of course, these two effects can be activated selectively."
Luvia, who was about to walk over here, immediately stopped:
"You'd better never use these two effects. Making clothes transparent is not a big problem, but if you wash the makeup off the girls' faces without permission, you will definitely be punished."
"Luvia, did you say it the other way around?"
The purple-eyed girl smiled but said nothing, and the witches continued to do their own things. No one wanted to try the white transparent crystal floating in Shade's hand.
Shade shook his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the crystal in his hand. As the spirit was infused into it, the crystal began to slowly rotate and emit a brighter light.
The initial state of the "Crystal of Truth" covers a range of about 1m around itself, and the range can be expanded by continuously injecting spiritual power. As for the current limit, because this is the Belindel Manor, Shade does not know how many illusions are running here. Whether out of caution or courtesy, he cannot use this range ability casually.
However, the spinning crystal in his hand did attract Xiaomia, who was having another breakfast nearby.
This cat will always have plenty of curiosity when it is in a safe situation.
To it, Shade was an absolutely safe existence, so even though it didn't know what the glowing thing was, it still approached quickly. After Shade put his hand on the table, it stepped on Shade's palm with its front paws quite rudely, and stuck its head out to sniff the thing. After finding no smell, it returned to its second breakfast and continued eating.
"The [Crystal of Truth] didn't react to Mia. It seems it has no disguise."
What are you looking forward to?
"nothing!"
"She" smiled gently, and Xia De stopped thinking about this topic and threw the crystal on the table.
The [Crystal of Truth] is actually very similar to "spiritual weapons" such as the Moonlight Greatsword and the Chains of Sin, except that its effect is neither lethal nor binding. Therefore, the crystal produced by the spell is not an illusion, but a real semi-entity, and can even exist independently from Shad.
As long as Shade wanted to and had enough spirit in his body, there was almost no limit to the number of crystals he could create. However, as the time the crystals were separated from him became longer and the crystals continued to exert their effects, the truth crystals could not exist independently for a long time.
In other words, if Shade leaves the crystal on the table and leaves it alone, although it will disappear in about an hour or two, the illusions, invisibility and some transformation spells of all people passing by here during this period will be broken.
"Try your ability to break illusions. Ladies, who will cast an illusion?"
He asked again, and Miss Aurora, who was sitting at the other end of the table and checking the knight's sword with Megan, raised her hand and a ray of light appeared.
In the light, an almost completely transparent cat ran quickly and gracefully along the long dining table towards Shade and Mia. As it ran, its body continued to solidify until it turned into a real orange cat.
"Meow~"
Mia immediately looked up and "roared", but saw the cat melt into the air while running. It looked around suspiciously, and after making sure there were no other cats, it didn't even eat the food, but walked directly to Xia De and lay down.
Shade smiled and stroked its back, then came to the conclusion:
"Not only does the Crystal of Truth consume spirit to expand its effective range, but after sensing the existence of illusion, invisibility, or transfiguration, if you want to interfere with or even break these effects, you will also need to consume a lot of spirit, but it is still a very good magic."
Xia De even felt that this new magic was among the most useful of his auxiliary magics.
Seeing that Luvia and the Countess were still enthusiastically using the divination cards to divine the box, Shade picked up another leaf. After placing the leaf in front of his right eye, he frowned:
"The effect of [Holy White Chapel] is actually like this?"
Luvia had reminded Shad not to reveal the information about the space left behind by the ancient gods unless it was absolutely necessary, so he did not call Luvia to discuss this topic right away.
"A True Message - Holy White Chapel" includes how to use a ritual to summon a one-time door, and also how to use the power of the chosen one to permanently obtain a door.
But more important is the effect of the [Holy White Hall]. Although it is called a hall, its interior is actually more like a church. Those who enter will see the holy emblems of all the gods they have come into contact with, and by touching these holy emblems, they can obtain different short-term blessing effects.
The so-called "contacted gods" must at least have been watched by that god, and it doesn't matter whether they are departed gods or existing gods. The specific effect obtained through the holy emblem in the hall depends on the power of the god corresponding to the holy emblem, as well as the relationship between the ringmaster entering the hall and that god.
The deeper the relationship - whether good or bad - the stronger the special effect obtained, that is, the favorability can be either "friendly" or "hateful", but it cannot be simply "indifferent".
"This is very interesting. After all, there shouldn't be many people in this era who have come into contact with more gods than I have. I just don't know if the ancient gods count, but I don't think I've come into contact with the ancient gods much. On the night of the lunar eclipse at Green Lake, I came into contact with the remains of the original moon in the [Silver Moon Library]. Does that count as coming into contact with the [Silver Moon Sage]?"
Xia De thought silently in his heart, but now he couldn't find a door leading to the "Holy White Hall" immediately, so he would have to wait and see what effect it would have.
But he thought of another question:
"I remember that the effect of the Dark Dungeon corresponding to 'Darkness' is to record the other side of everyone's heart. By contacting it, the instability of the mind and soul can be effectively soothed. Darkness records mortal things, and light records gods. They are just the opposite of each other. Speaking of which, the Silver Moon records knowledge. I wonder what the Sun will record."
