Chapter 2839 The real opponent
Ajelina nodded with determination:
"In the next few days, I will actively participate in the things on the ship. Although I don't know how to completely overcome the fear of being ignored, I think if I can be needed by everyone and everyone says, 'Why didn't Ajelina come to help' when they are doing things, I can also find some sense of existence."
Xia De leaned forward slightly and looked at her:
"When I first met you last year, you were still an ordinary princess. Sometimes I wonder if these changes are too harsh for you."
Ajelina shook her head quickly:
"What's the point of being an ordinary princess? It's better to become a sister who has both strength and power."
She felt a little embarrassed again, but she also felt that the current changes were actually very good.
Shade then promised:
"I will never forget you, Ajelina. I will keep you firmly in my heart."
"Really? You actually said something like that. Can you kiss me?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess pointed to the side of her face, and Shade kissed it gently. Ajelina immediately blushed and tried to hold back her laughter. She said, "I'll take Mia to take a nap," and ran away.
"I was wondering why you haven't come to find me yet. It turns out you're lying to Ajelina here."
Luvia's voice came, and when I turned around, she was standing at the corner of the corridor, obviously she was not a newcomer.
"Just give her some encouragement. Leithia and Dorothy will agree with me."
As he spoke, Shade waved the letter in his hand towards Luvia:
"There's news from the city. Do you want to take a look together?"
The church's willingness to share such important information this time can be regarded as a reward for the Witch Council's contribution to several major events in recent times.
The letter describes the entire process of a candidate from the church opening his qualifications, disappearing, and reappearing with others, which provides a strong guarantee for Emilia's subsequent actions.
However, the church did not specify in the information provided what era their candidate went to and who he brought back. However, the church provided information such as the prepared rituals and symbols, so it is not difficult to infer that the era the candidate went to was the Sixth Era.
"But what kind of valuable power can the Sixth Era have? I thought the church would invest a lot of resources to send candidates to the oldest era. The upper limit of the Sixth Era is not the thirteenth ring so far, right?"
Xia De was very confused about this. When he sat down in Luvia's cabin, Luvia smiled and said:
"I do have a bold idea, but it's just a guess: Could it be that the era the other party went to was the era when the righteous gods descended?"
Xia De was slightly surprised. The purple-eyed fortune teller smiled and shook his head:
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The church is still our ally. When you want to open the key on Wednesday, Iluna will definitely come. You can just ask her and she will tell you. Take out the coin, and we will officially start divination."
Currently, the two of them have a total of five special coins in their hands, including the remaining [Language Expert] and [Pure Light], the two [Lute's Sorrow] given by Xivi just now, and the poet-level relic [Upright Coin] that Luvia got from the association. This relic was also obtained by Shad (593).
According to Luvia's request, the first thing to be divined is how to make Shad immune to the effect of "Time Exile".
This divination was actually very difficult, because the matter involved Shade, and even the special divination using coins would encounter obstacles. Luvia thought that relying on her current close relationship with Shade, she would be able to succeed even if she used more coins, but she threw three coins in a row and failed to get any results.
Seeing Luvia reaching out to take the fourth coin, Shade quickly stopped her:
"Why not change the question to divine: If I am exiled again, how can I return as quickly as possible and without any cost? Since we can't stop the exile, let's start with returning."
Luvia nodded and threw the [Language Expert] and [Upright Coin] into the air. This time it finally worked. The two coins collided with each other in the air, and after they bounced off, they gradually turned into ashes and disappeared completely before landing.
When Luvia opened her eyes, she had a look of joy on her face:
"The key lies in your magic [Return of Time]. This magic currently has two limitations. One is that it does not work on you, and the other is your timestamp problem.
Let's talk about the second question first. It's actually very easy to solve. Just leave a part of your body in the 'now'. Then you will have two timestamps, right? "
Xia De pointed at himself in surprise:
"Although my 'active mud' can reshape the organs of the body, it is not too much to leave a part of the body. Hair is definitely not an option. Do you want my heart? Or, can I apply for my appendix?"
“Why the appendix?”
Luvia asked curiously, and then comforted Shade:
"Don't worry. I don't really want you to cut off a part of your body. Even if you are willing to do so, I am not. I mean that if you leave a part of yourself on another person, it will be like binding a time anchor, so you will know the direction when you return."
Then she saw Xia De looking at her belly. The female fortune teller blushed and pushed the teacup to Xia De:
"What are you thinking? This is a serious ritual. The 'moon mark' you left on us can actually be considered a part of you. You can sense us because of it, which is already an anchor point.
Next, you just need your blood to strengthen this connection, with Mia, me, Karina, Vanessa, Dorothy and Leicia as the six anchor points for support. This way, even if you are really lost in infinite time, you will know the direction to go home. We will always be waiting for you. "
Xia De smiled and nodded:
"Yes, yes. You always point me in the direction of home. So what should I do if the magic doesn't work on me?"
"Then enhance the effect of the ritual. You know that the basic spell 'Move Objects' is ineffective on oneself, but there is an advanced spell called 'Dance in the Air'."
"How do I need to enhance it? I'm not in a position to tell you the source of this magic, but at least I don't have any means to enhance it at the moment."
"That's why I have to spend two coins."
Luvia said, taking the notebook and starting to write on it:
"You need to hold a complex ceremony to sublimate this unique magic, but don't worry, although this ceremony requires two sufficiently powerful World Tree materials as the core of the ceremony, don't we have your key and the elves' [Ocarina of Time]?
Take this list to Mother-in-law Cassandra and ask them to help prepare it. We will hold the ceremony in the woods tonight."
"So, this problem is solved?"
"What else do you want? If I can't even solve such a small matter, isn't my value too low? Oh, do I need to remind you that even if the magic is sublimated, returning from the past is not a simple matter.
If you don't want to spend too much, it's better to use the magic at the next moment of exile, before entering a time point that does not belong to the present, rather than casting the spell after reaching an unknown time. "
Luvia teased;
"But if this happens, you won't be able to visit Ms. Carter like you did last time."
"It's not like I can always find that time. Why do you say it like I'm secretly dating Miss Carter?"
Luvia smiled happily.
Shade didn't plan to keep the remaining three coins. There were too many things he needed to know. However, Shade didn't let Luvia divine what the seats he and the doctor saw in the woods corresponded to. He wanted to know another thing:
"I want to know what those chairs mean. Although the probability is very small, if those chairs correspond to a seal, the sealed things will come out after we kill four monsters. That would be a big joke."
"It doesn't look like a seal at all."
Luvia said as she picked up the [Sorrow of the Lute] again and threw it into the air, successfully completing the divination. This also indirectly shows how difficult it is to divine things related to Shade:
"I said this isn't a seal. But it is indeed part of the ritual, Shade. You are not a student of our astronomy department, so you probably haven't taken the course 'Self-concealment and Self-proof'."
She briefly described it, but didn't go into detail:
“Specifically, the owner of the largest chair under the tree hid his existence in the existence of the owners of the other four chairs.
Those four things are like four keys, and they work together. You need them to sit back on the chair at the same time, and then you can know what the hidden thing is. Otherwise, as long as the other party doesn't want to, you won't be able to recognize it even if it is in front of you."
"If you can't persuade them to sit back in their chairs, then you can kill them, right?"
Shade asked, and Luvia nodded:
“Of course, the identity of the keys they represent is related to the power they were given, and the same is true for returning the keys.
It seems that the branch with sparks on it that you got is really extraordinary. If we find a way, others can also absorb that branch and gain the power of the World Tree."
"But it's possible that this hidden ritual could be manipulated, and it sounds really amazing."
"Of course, hiding one's own existence is a conceptual operation. Xia De, what we are facing this time is not an evil creature with only power, but a true ancient.
More powerful than the evil creatures of the Pantanal, more powerful than the player of the Seven O's of Moon Bay, more intelligent than the ancestors of Audrey and Megan, but not yet a god."
As she spoke, she picked up the second coin, [Sorrow of the Lute], and tossed it up without asking Shade, but the coin fell as usual and had no effect at all:
"As expected, it is impossible to directly know who the opponent is by divination. Look, he is so powerful yet so cautious. This is the real opponent."
PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!
