Chapter 2530 Crazy Moon
"Although there are only three copies of the text, this is definitely not because the church is stingy. Two of the contents of these texts are related to the moon, and one is related to time. The church believes that they are most suitable for the 'God Summoner'. Shade, you'd better choose to read them at night, and it is recommended not to be in the city."
Worried that Shad might have overlooked the instructions on the side of the metal plate, Iluna gave him specific instructions.
So on this Friday night, Xia De ran to the Temple of Night and opened the three documents under the moonlight.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the "Sun, Moon and Stars" ritual formation at the end of the shrine. Mia, who had been placed on the ground by him, was now walking around nearby as if inspecting her territory.
The dragon skin of the first dragon skin text is an ancient artifact from the Third Age, but the text on it was written in the early Fifth Age. This text belongs to the Church of the Dawn and records an important event at that time:
"On an unspecified night in the early Fifth Era, the Central Continent, the Western Continent, and the northern part of the Southern Continent all saw a blood moon dyeing the entire night sky red. The blood-red night lasted for 39 hours in those areas before it ended. During this period, countless living creatures experienced blood and flesh deformations, and even the witch could not avoid it.
The witch emperors formed a joint investigation team, but they were unable to find out the cause of the change. Later, through the tracing of ancient documents, they learned that every thousand years, the moon in the material world would always show abnormal phenomena in a certain area. The frequency of such accidents is not fixed, but they are all very dangerous. "
Shade looked at the words written on the dragon skin, then looked up at the three moons hanging high above the forest in the Randall River Valley:
"The moon's abnormal changes? It's just that before the Sixth Epoch, the collapse of the world was not that serious, so the frequency was very low."
It also says later that changes in the moon's colors will lead to different disasters, and that a changed moon is not necessarily a single-color change, it may also be a multi-color change.
In addition to silver, yellow and red, the most terrifying thing is the "black moon" mutation during the lunar eclipse, which will arbitrarily kill random lives within the mutation range.
But although these contents are terrible, they do not make the entire dragon skin dangerous.
The above text is written in very beautiful cursive letters. Because the area of the dragon skin after being cut is not small, the size of the letters is also suitable.
But the last line of text is pitifully small, and the font is crooked, as if the writer couldn't control his hand holding the pen -
[When the moonlight invades the night, don’t look at the moon]
"Who?!"
Xia De suddenly looked up at the night sky. He clearly felt that something was watching him.
But the night sky was quite normal at this time, and three moons were hanging quietly above our heads. It was very safe here.
"Meow~"
Mia shouted at the night sky, and then ran to Shade again, looking very happy. Shade touched the well-behaved cat, calmed his heart which had suddenly accelerated just now, and continued to look at the dragon skin after making sure that there was nothing around.
But those crooked letters are the final content. There is no period at the end of the sentence, and there are some ink marks at the end, as if the writer could not hold the pen after writing these words.
"What does that mean? Don't look at the moon. It's really scary."
Of course, Xia De also knew that the witch who left this record was definitely not talking nonsense, otherwise he would not have felt strange just now:
"Although I feel like I know a lot of things, it seems that I don't understand anything. The changes in the moon will at least have to wait until the moon's chosen one appears, but isn't the next one likely to be time?"
Thinking of this, he put the dragon skin away again and picked up the human skin text.
Using human skin to make alchemical tools or "human skin paper" is prohibited in this era. According to the church, the antique in Shade's hand may have originated from the Second Age.
However, the introduction on the metal plate containing this text said that the danger of this text was not great, it just involved some things related to ancient gods, so the content could not be made public.
The human skin text felt terrible, and Shade was glad that he had been wearing gloves. He read the contents of the manuscript carefully, then looked up at the moon and fell into deep thought.
Although the materials used to make this text are terrible, the content is not dangerous except for the fact that it involves the secrets of ancient gods and the moon, which are mentally polluting.
The ancient scholars who wrote this text called themselves the "Ancients of the Moon" and claimed that although the moon, like the sun, was a collection of vast amounts of spirits, divine forces, and elements, there was a strange space within the moon.
According to the content of this text, in the era when the ancient gods had not yet left, at the end of the highest standard of moon worship and sacrificial ceremony, a staircase connecting the earth and the moon would appear.
Climbing the stairs, you can go to the moon, where the incarnation of the Moon Sage will appear to bless the devout believers. It is even rumored that there is a door there, behind which is a library that records everything in the world.
Of course, only the highest level of sacrifice can open such a Moon Staircase, and those who can be invited to the moon are pure girls. The Moon Sage prefers such girls.
"So, there is a permanent door on the moon that leads to the [Silver Moon Library]?"
Xia De asked in his heart, and "she" continued to guess:
【Perhaps the text refers to the primordial moon.】
"Yes, now the moon is split into three. Even if the door really existed on the original moon, it may be impossible to find it now."
But this did not prevent Shad from imagining the flourishing Moon Worship Cult in ancient times, where people worshipped the moon together under the deep and charming night, and the moon responded to those devout people.
As he thought about it, he unconsciously raised his right hand, as if he wanted to touch the silver moon in the distant night sky, but of course he could not touch anything.
[Do you feel resentful that the moon did not give you strength during the battle of Moon Bay? ]
"She" suddenly asked, probably remembering that Xia De had come to the Night Temple specially before the war, but did not get any response.
"Of course I don't think so. The ancient gods have already left. Besides, even if they are still watching over this world, what reason do I have to ask the gods to help me?"
The moonlight sprinkled on his face. He raised his hand and "pinched" the moon. Neither "she" nor he spoke.
After a while, seeing that Xia De ignored it, the cat meowed, and Xia De gently stroked it twice:
"Ms. Gold will be here in a few days, Mia, please don't leave me."
The cat didn't understand these words, and it felt that these words were not spoken to it. So Shade held it in his arms and looked up at the moon again:
"I really want to go up there and take a look, to see if the door is still there, and to see if the sage left any traces there."
Most of the second text introduces this ancient moon worship, but the author who called himself "Ancestor of the Moon" himself had never participated in such a worship, as the ancient gods were long gone when he lived.
However, at the end of this roll of human skin, the ink left by the seemingly increasingly insane "Moon Ancestor" had changed from dark blue to blood red. He said:
[On the night when three moons overlap, sacrifice your blood relatives and peel off your ugly skin. When everything in your eyes becomes distorted and crazy, the hills of flesh and blood will be built into the stairs for you and me to climb to the moon.]
"It seems like he's crazy too. How come all these people who worship the moon end up going crazy?"
Xia De looked up at March in the night sky again, and then he was sure that at least he was not crazy, at least not yet.
However, reading this kind of text also caused some mental damage to him, so he did not rush to open the last text immediately, but took a break while holding the cat and looking at the moon. The first two texts were very interesting, and the church did select the knowledge that was most suitable for him.
Under the moonlight, his spirit, physical strength and mental energy always recovered quickly, but the faint melancholy in his heart made Xia De want to sigh. As for Mia, who was held in Xia De's arms, it was very excited at this time.
The warm cat has not changed since the battle of Moon Bay, and Shade has been trying to make it swallow another piece of the Philosopher's Stone, but it has not succeeded. Shade has decided to wait until he meets Miss Gold before making further plans to explore the secrets of the cat.
So after a rest, he picked up the last roll of parchment of the golden sheep.
"Golden Sheep" is a species of alien creature that is extremely rare in this era. They have unique talents related to "luck", and their fur is an extremely precious alchemical material.
The writing that could be written on this material is certainly extraordinary. The last text comes from the Fourth Age, before the time of the Witches.
[In the ancient times, the roots of the World Tree stretched across the entire crust of the material world. Even though the crown of the World Tree was intentionally controlled by the ancient elves, it still covered a quarter of the sky of the ancient central continent.
When the ancient era ended, the World Tree also began to decline, but to this day, some ancient trees from the ancient times still remain in the material world. They have witnessed the sunset and sunrise of the initial era together with the World Tree.
Occasionally, some tree holes appear on those ancient trees. These are passages formed by the residual power of the ancient god, the Infinite Tree Father. Passing through the tree holes, one can travel through time without using the "Time Key", but few people can return from the tree holes. The following are records left by some individuals who claim to have returned after passing through the tree holes. 】
The content written on this parchment made of golden sheepskin is more than the previous two pieces of content combined. It not only describes the characteristics and appearance of the special passage called "Time Tree Hole" by the writer, but also records three potentially valuable reports.
None of the three records are very long, and they describe in the first person what happened after passing through the "Time Tree Hole".
