Chapter 2790: The Way of the Savage
After hearing the words of the god, Shade roughly understood that what happened this time was similar to the story he first witnessed in Hope Town. They were both witnessing the final story of an old god:
"May I ask what you need us to do for the last lesson? I already have four girls with student status. Will you come and teach them?"
The language used here was the language of the Fifth Age, which the girls used. Apparently the wolf girl lying behind Shade understood it, because she trembled even more violently.
The gentle black-haired lady shook her head, her shiny black hair floating in the water. The dim underwater environment could not conceal her intelligence and elegance at all. Her divine gentleness was really very approachable:
"The last lesson I'm going to tell you requires advance preparation just like any mortal lesson. Do you mind helping me complete this ritual?"
"Of course I don't mind. What exactly do you want to do?"
That's what Shad came here for.
"You have already obtained the four books of this academy. Now each of you needs to teach others a course based on the contents of the books in your hands. Including you, if anyone learns something new in this way, it means that one quarter of the ceremony is completed. When all four people have completed the ceremony, I will take the initiative to show up."
This didn't sound difficult. After all, although Shade's time here was limited, the girls by the fire could always communicate with each other. In addition, the gods only said that you should learn new things, and did not stipulate the difficulty level. Shade even thought of some not-so-polite cheating methods.
Of course, he would never play tricks in the rituals required by the gods, as this would only bring bad luck to himself.
"See, that's all we need to do?"
Shade asked again, and the black-haired lady wearing decorative glasses smiled and shook her head:
"Every time after you decide on the teaching candidates, those books will guide you to see me, just like this time. I will give meaning to your courses, otherwise simple teaching is not enough to mobilize my power.
Dear foreign guests, this ancient academy is about to disappear into ashes. I will walk around the academy and connect its last remaining power. In this way, when the last course is held, you will not only help me complete the ceremony, but everyone will also receive a gift. And this ancient academy that has existed since the First Age will not be completely gone.
In the distant First Age, I taught students here. Now in the Fifth Age, it will end here. I need your help, foreign guest. "
"I understand. Thank you for your generosity. I will bring them to see you before each of their classes."
"In fact, this academy still has many precious books and treasures. If you have time, you can take a walk here."
The god stretched out his hand toward Shad, and the glowing book floated out of his hand.
The stone slab was suspended in the water. With the slight movement of the god's fingers, the holy emblem of the "Lord of the Black Robe" was engraved on the back of the stone slab, which originally had no pattern. Then the book floated back into Shade's hands.
Since the conversation between Xia De and the god just now, the wolf girl behind him dared not move anymore. She lowered her head and waited for a while. Seeing that the light at the edge of her vision gradually dimmed and Xia De was no longer moving, she asked in a low voice:
"Can I talk now? What happened again?"
"Nothing, the gods have left here."
Shade said while holding the slate, the black-haired lady had turned into light and disappeared.
In this way, the process of this time adventure mission is very clear. First, take a girl to find the god, and then let the girl give an effective lesson to complete the ceremony.
Finally, let the black-robed inheritor god conduct the "last lesson", so that not only can Shade's mission be completed, the girls can leave here, and everyone can even get power or gifts from this ceremony.
"I like this kind of concise and clear task. It's much simpler than waiting for someone at the dock. It seems that waiting for someone at the dock is easier."
I decided to return after thinking about this. Most of the time for this mission has passed. Now I have time to discuss with the girls how to complete the ritual of God:
"Miss Bister, let's go back."
He spoke to the gray wolf behind him, and after several seconds the girl whispered a response, with bubbles flying upwards one by one:
"We really can't stay here for too long. It's not safe here. They are still waiting for us to go back. Can you carry me on your back for a while? My legs are a little weak."
"She" beside his ear laughed softly, and Xia De tried to make his tone more normal:
"No problem. Hold on to me. Iluna and Miss Wilder are obviously worried about us."
So the gray wolf lay on Xia De's back and let him swim forward on his back. The underwater situation was extremely complicated, and Xia De had encountered enemies when he just came, so he did not dare to relax.
However, in order to avoid making the atmosphere awkward, he took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"Did you see what was that thing that made the sound of stirring the water when we came here just now?"
"It looked like a water snake with a human face, and it was smiling at me."
She described it in a low voice, her wolf eyes glowing faintly in the water:
"Well, Mr. Hamilton, can you let me take another look at your moonlight?"
The wolf girl said embarrassedly again, and Shade stretched out his finger, and a little light appeared on his fingertips. In the underwater environment, too strong light cannot be used, but this is enough.
Miss Bister praised:
“I once went to the ‘Roof of the World’ in the Eastern Continent alone and saw the light of the Moonlight Giant Wolf running in the wilderness under the full moon;
As a guest, I once visited a hidden blood-sucking family in an ancient town in the western continent and witnessed their blood-red moon;
I once lived for a while in the vast snowy plains of the northern continent with those ascetic moon worshippers, and learned from them the moonlight that guided their way;
I was also rescued by a beautiful elf witch in the deep forest of the southern continent. In the tree house of the elf clan, I discussed the secrets of the Silver Moon with those old elves under the moonlight.
But I have never seen moonlight like yours. In fact, I wanted to say it when you proved to us that you are a normal person just now. This moonlight is really charming. Miss Wilder and Miss Metz may still be wary of you, but I believe you are definitely not a bad person. "
Shade felt her breathing become a little faster, and then Shade was very worried that his moonlight would make her fall into the madness of the werewolf full moon. But thinking carefully, a high-level witch could completely suppress such instinctive impulses, and Miss Bister sounded like a strong person, and she should not suddenly bite Shade's neck.
"Many people have praised my moonlight in this way. Some even call me 'Son of the Moon'."
As Shade continued to swim forward, he said:
"Though I don't know what the Moon Child is."
"I know this!"
The Gray Wolf girl on his back immediately said:
"This is a lost title, referring to those mortals who are most favored by the Moon God. They are handsome and elegant, and have a devout belief in the moon. They are even qualified to climb the moon during the ceremony and have the Moon God touch their heads.
The Moon God gave them the Moonfire, and they walked under the moonlight at night holding the silver flame, protecting the peace of the earth and our world. Under the watchful eyes of the Moon God, some of the most powerful Moon Children were even able to participate in the war between gods. Even in the era when the ancient gods had left, there were still legends that the Moon Children manipulated the secret fire to suppress the evil creatures when the ancient evil creatures rioted.
Her tone was excited:
"When I was traveling alone, I often wondered if I could be born in the era when the Moon Goddess was still alive. Would I be able to become that kind of person with my piety? Maybe there is no hope. In that most ancient era, there were far more people who were stronger than me than there are now. But we werewolves were not discriminated against at that time."
“Have you always traveled alone?”
Xia De asked curiously, swimming sideways through the cracks in the boulder. The Gray Wolf Girl behind him nodded immediately. She was quite proud of this:
"Yes, we werewolves are all like this. After graduating from the Little Witch Preparatory School, I originally planned to enter the official Witch Academy, but before going to school, I planned to travel around the world and see the world, and then I accidentally came to this point.
I am a werewolf who pursues wildness, destined to run alone under the moon in the wilderness. My current level proves that I have chosen the right path. "
Of course, she did not forget to defend herself:
"It's not that I'm not good at getting along with others. You see, I get along very well with Miss Beas, Miss Wilder, and Miss Metz. I always meet all kinds of people on the road, which is one of the pleasures of traveling alone."
She was young and optimistic, and in the pursuit of wildness and the moon, Shade clearly felt that she had gone further than anyone he knew. This was not to say that Miss Sibel Bist's talent in the moon was stronger than Miss Orlan Nord or Miss Danister, but that only she recognized the wildness symbolized by the moon at night.
That is one of the manifestations of the moon and one of the connections between the moon and nature. Shade didn't know what the werewolf girl would experience after leaving here, but as long as she was not stopped by death, it should not be impossible for her to become a demigod.
After all, Miss Bist didn't feel comfortable letting Shade carry it to the gap. After chatting with Shade for a while, she felt that she was in much better condition, so she took the initiative to let him go, and then continued to swim back with Shade in the form of a petite gray wolf.
They didn't encounter any danger on the way back, but after the silver cat and the gray wolf passed through the gap in the second floor, they did not see Iluna and the green dragon girl who were supposed to be waiting there.
