Chapter 2959 Big Trouble
"What happened to Carina? Didn't she go to meet the sorceresses of the Abbey of the Virgin, the Daughters of the Harvest, and the Secret Order of the Crescent Moon?"
Xia De opened the letter and raised his eyebrows after reading it. After handing the letter to Vanessa, Vanessa was also surprised:
"So the Crescent Moon Secret Society came to this place for another purpose?"
The Crescent Moon Order is composed of female ring magicians who worship the moon, and most of the members are alien creatures. Its origin history is unclear. It is said that this group was originally composed of alien ring magicians who worship the moon, but the organization is very loose. It is just people with similar interests living together. It is not clearly a unified group until the middle of the Fifth Era. Therefore, although it is not a modern branch of the Ancient God Cult, it unexpectedly knows a lot of ancient secret texts.
"They provided Carina with a fragment of a poem and asked for the Council's help. They said that the ancient leader of the Secret Order in the Fifth Era had left something in the Vestal Forest, and they hoped that we could help find it."
Vanessa looked up at Shade:
"I'm not familiar with them. The relationship between the Crescent Moon Convent and the Parliament mainly focused on the previous generation, when even the Speaker was still an apprentice. Should we help them?"
"Shouldn't this question be asked to Miss Isabella?"
"But isn't it you who makes the decision now?"
"Let's ask her, but this sounds strange. Since they knew there was something in the local area, why did they choose to ask you for help now? They have been very busy for more than a thousand years in the Sixth Era, right?"
Xia De was puzzled, and then he muttered:
"The moon-worshipping alien, the ancient leader of the Fifth Epoch, just happened to come here to look for something."
Vanessa then entered the parliament with Carina's letter, and the fragment of the poem that the Crescent Moon Convent gave to the Witch Council was also delivered shortly afterwards.
It was a gorgeous ancient black and white dress. Because it was an alchemical item and was carefully preserved, it still looked brand new. The many gemstone decorations still allowed modern witches to glimpse the luxurious life of the witch emperors at the end of the Fifth Era, and the fragments of the poem were embroidered on the inside of the right sleeve of the dress.
【The seed falls into the soil, and time makes it germinate. 】
"That's what I told you this morning."
The elf girl who was still on the boat said this, but Shade always felt that she suddenly interrupted because she didn't want him to think about it carefully. As for the clothing of the Witch Emperor at the end of the Fifth Era, it was collected by the Witch Council. They liked this kind of thing.
Vanessa, who entered the parliament, also returned soon and brought good news and bad news:
"The Speaker said that we can help the Crescent Moon Secret Order, but if they find any commemorative items left by ancient witches, our council has the priority to purchase them. In addition, the good news is that Sister Defulyn will arrive tomorrow, and the bad news is that the Speaker will also arrive tomorrow."
"Then I'll stay at the hotel tonight. Sylvia, please temporarily close the portal at night."
"So you're moving to the Accordion Inn all by yourself?"
"Dorothy, Luvia, Ajelina, and Miss Danister will also live there. I'll ask Flora to pack her things and move back to the ship. Miss Isabella would feel strange if she couldn't see her."
That is to say, all witches will live on the ship. Although they will not stop seeing each other, they will obviously not be able to eat together every day. In the past Sixth Era, Adele Isabella has never participated in the story of the Chosen Ones of Time, but this time is obviously different.
[Guess why she couldn't come to Vista Forest every time in the past? ]
"She" suddenly asked with a smile, so Xia De thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit too coincidental:
"Could it be that during the story of Vista Forest, something happened that Adele had to deal with outside? But this time, because I handled Megan and Audrey's soul issues perfectly, they were able to assist Adele in dealing with [The Redeemer's Lament] with their powerful souls at the twelfth level. Could there be something else?"
Shade frowned and thought, but Vanessa and Sylvia didn't know that he was thinking about things related to fate and time:
"Shad is inseparable from us now. Obviously, no one wants him to leave."
Vanessa said, and the young space witch actually had the same idea:
"You mean to say that Shade is a must, and Mr. Speaker is an optional?"
"Yes, we have to find something else for Mr. Speaker to do."
However, Shad was not aware of Vanessa's plan. Even if Shad was unwilling to be "close" to her now, she absolutely could not bear the fact that Shad was in this city but could not meet her every day.
But before thinking about Adele Isabella, Shad had other things to do. When he carried Mia to the hotel and prepared to tell Flora about the "relocation plan", Megan, who went to help the church, also sent someone to deliver a letter:
"Meghan said the situation is very difficult, Shade, I'm afraid you have to go and see it yourself."
Shad was very curious about what had caused such a big commotion, so he left the cat to Tifa's care and prepared to go and help with his owl.
"I will go with you."
Because the ship was closer, Vanessa, who stayed on the ship, also knew about it.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to go when Megan left just now?”
Sylvia asked from the side.
"But now it's Shad who might be in danger. I can't ignore him even if I don't care about others. Now is the time to show strength. Even if Megan and Audrey are two-in-one, they can't compare to my current thirteenth level."
In addition to Vanessa and Owl, there were more than a dozen high-ring girls accompanying them. The place where the accident happened was not in the city, but on the east side of Vista Forest, which was an area that Shade had hardly set foot in. It was also far from Lake Yuren where the Radiant Messenger was docked, so everyone set off on chocobos.
The sun was setting, but the snow was still falling. From a distance, not much could be seen, but as the Chocobos gradually approached the area where the accident occurred, they keenly discovered that the dead trees in the forest seemed to have completely lost their vitality, and had gone from being leafless in winter to being truly dead.
"No, this is a force more terrifying than death."
The owl flew to the tree to check the situation and landed back on Shad's shoulder and said, Shad found that carrying an owl with him was much more convenient than carrying Mia, but he quickly reminded himself that Flora was not a real owl.
Not only the trees, but even the ground was turning black as they continued to move forward. Vanessa jumped off the Chocobo, bent down and brushed off the snow on the ground, placed her hands directly on the ground, and then gave a horrifying conclusion:
"This land is going to die, and no plants will be able to survive here in the future. Even animals will die early if they move on this land for too long."
"Is it the 'Crazy Earth' you mentioned? The disaster that comes from the earth. I remember that Shade's magic can cure it, right?"
The owl, who had not experienced the incident in Randall Valley, asked, but the little witch shook her head:
"This is not the Crazy Land, this is the real death of the land. I have never encountered such a thing. Even if the guardian of the land came here, it would be impossible to save this place."
"But what does this have to do with time? What else is going on here?"
There is almost no life on this land now, and the animals that live here in winter have migrated to other places because of their instinct. Except for the pure white snowflakes that are not affected, there is no normal thing here.
This phenomenon became more and more obvious as the group continued to move forward, and even the Chocobos felt uncomfortable. If it weren't for the sorceresses casting spells to protect them, they would not even be willing to carry the group forward.
The destination of this trip is called "White Ape Canyon" on the hermits' map. It is a canyon formed by two low hills. It got its name because all-white monkeys were once found there. However, this should be just an ordinary place in the woods.
Soon after they continued forward, they met Megan who came to greet them. Seeing that Vanessa had come along, the twin witches said mercilessly:
"You're going to make me very sad if you do this."
But Vanessa didn't care.
Currently, this area has been blocked by the church, but then Xia De discovered that not only the Church of the Five Gods had sent people here, but even the academy and the forest hermit group had sent people here.
"I remember that in order to prevent too many forces from being drawn from the city and to have a unified commander in chief, operations outside the city were usually carried out by one or two churches together. Why did the Five Gods Church mobilize together?"
The church set up camps at the entrances and exits on both sides of the canyon to block the canyon itself. Shade and his party approached the outpost in the southwest of the canyon. When they entered the camp, the people who were resting in the camp stood up. It was obvious that the "God Caller" had a lot of face.
Although Iluna was not sent in this operation, the Five Gods Churches all sent their own thirteenth-ring warlocks.
"Please come this way."
The group, including the owl, hid their true identities. The Creation Church's master of construction, Mr. Gerard Delong, who came to greet them, also saw that the "God Summoner" was unwilling to communicate too much. After a few pleasantries, he led the group directly inside:
"The outpost here is not very useful. The camp is set up here only because ordinary ring sorcerers cannot stay for long ahead. The problem is in the canyon, but this time it should not be a man-made trouble. Please follow me. This is the most serious problem that has occurred in the Vista Forest area so far.
We just discussed that even if there is a problem with the qualifications of the selected person this time, the trouble here must be resolved."
