Chapter 3609 Heroes Choose Their Fate
The scroll then mentions several weapons belonging to famous witchers of the Third Age, and the witch who wrote the scroll suspects that these weapons all possess "destiny".
Only then did she write down the part of the knowledge that Xia De was most concerned about:
Forging destiny into a weapon requires three basic requirements. First, you must ensure that you have a suitable vessel; destiny must be carried on something in order to be effective.
Secondly, the power required to forge destiny into a weapon is beyond the capabilities of mortals. Even the primordial fire can only burn destiny, not forge it. This requires the power of the [Foundation], the authority of that ancient earth god, though its details are unclear from previous accounts. Perhaps it requires some kind of divine hammerhead that carries the power of the ancient god.
Finally, besides the vessel itself and destiny, some flux is needed to truly make destiny a part of the weapon. This requires tiny fragments of destiny, but just as I don't know how to obtain destiny as raw material, I also don't understand what those tiny fragments of destiny are.
Then came the witch's rambling complaints about her predecessors. They had left behind valuable techniques, but too many details remained unclear. However, she later provided more detailed explanations of the three points mentioned above, based on her knowledge and past research. For example, the object carrying destiny must be in harmony with destiny itself; the power of the foundation might not be a hammer, but fire or something else.
The ancient witch concluded by writing:
In this way, the blade of fate can be forged, which will permanently consume fate, and the process is irreversible.
Future witches, though I have left this information, remember that fate can only guide us forward; only we ourselves can truly choose our direction. I wish you success in finding the true techniques. If you succeed, remember to write down the details, lest future witches complain about you.
It's clear that she harbors a great deal of resentment.
"So the way to pass on the power of the 'Ring of Fate' is really to forge weapons. In that case, there's no need to embed it in the body."
Sylvie, who had been reading the document with Shad, remarked with a sigh, while Vanessa already knew the contents:
"I didn't understand what the so-called 'raw materials' were before, but now it seems that they must be the ring of fate, or the arc of fate? As for the flux, I think its tiny fate must be the dice of fate."
Hivi also had similar ideas:
"The power of the [Foundation] shouldn't refer to any divine artifact. Doesn't the Shad family's basement have an entrance to the [Earth Core Furnace]? That furnace is actually the power of the ancient earth god, isn't it?"
Vanessa then laughed and said:
"So if we find the right Ring of Destiny and a blacksmith, can't we forge a 'weapon of destiny'?"
Xia De looked at the ancient witch's journal a second time, quite hesitant:
"I actually know how to forge. Remember? After severing the Demon Sword: Sword Heir's Nest, I gained knowledge of the 'Golmora Alchemy Rune Array' used to forge the Demon Sword. Strictly speaking, that's also a forging technique, only it doesn't require a hammer."
I originally intended to use the fragments of the Demon Sword to enhance the Night Watch, but Luvia needed to use the Philosopher's Stone to make ink, so I planned to wait until she succeeded and then use the remaining Philosopher's Stone as a catalyst.
Sevi laughed too:
"In this way, it seems that you have met all the requirements for forging weapons, and even the Ring of Fate is lying at the bottom of the sea waiting for you to take it. Will the [Night Watch] be upgraded to an unknowable-level relic? The names [Sword of Fate] or [Sword of War] sound better."
"Sword of Destiny sounds better."
Vanessa said, but Shad was not so optimistic:
"But is it really necessary to forge so-called weapons of destiny?"
He put down the parchment:
"The ancient witches did not pass down the specific details of forging destiny, perhaps because of an accident, but it may also be because they did not want this method to be passed down. Moreover, Luvia and Bella both said that destiny is a double-edged sword, and once a weapon is forged, it is hard to say who the blade will hurt."
"But aren't the Night's Watch just as good?"
"Possessing the Night's Watch will attract demons; this may be a characteristic of the relic, or it may be a feature inherent to the sword itself."
Shad even thought of more things:
"The information from Galina says that numerous 'Heroic Arcs' were forged into a unified weapon. While the weapon examples cited in this parchment are all renowned, they are all single weapons. Moreover, historically, Witchers haven't had any particularly famous standard weapons. What exactly were most of the fragments of the Heroic Ring used for?"
He thought about it carefully, then looked at the two witches:
“I remember now, Witchers do have a well-known possession. That item will cause the holder to encounter demons by fate, and although it is not a sword, it is still an excellent weapon.”
Vanessa's eyes widened slightly:
"You mean the [Demon Hunter's Seal]?!"
Although Shad did not bring the Night's Watch with him when he entered the council, the ring was in his pocket. Now, after taking it out and holding it in his palm, as he gazed at it closely, he could indeed see tiny specks of light emerging from the black facet of the ring.
He had never seen such marks on the Demon Hunter's Seal before, and his guess was correct:
“I saw the traces of fate. Yes, the witches of the Third Age really did forge the fate of heroes into rings.”
"A hero?"
At this moment, Sylvie suddenly had an indescribable feeling. The fate of heroes has been passed down to this day, and they are still fighting against demons, but the deeds of most ring holders are not widely known. They died silently in the shadows.
Even so, this era still has people like Shad, Iluna, nameless witchers wandering the world, and the church's witch-hunting squads who possess the [Witcher's Seal] and continue to fight against ancient evil spirits.
The destiny passed down from the Third Age is still in effect, but rather than destiny leading these people to fight against demons, it is these people who actively chose the "destiny of heroes" and wore the ring.
"Those that shine are not necessarily the most dazzling."
The “other me” whispered in her ear, and the Great Witch of Light, Sylvie Aurora, felt for the first time in a long time that she seemed to have touched the edge of a higher level of power.
The witch of the earth, however, did not share this feeling; she was merely surprised that everyone had learned the true origin of a certain relic:
"So, the appearance of the [Demon Hunter's Seal] is actually related to our council? After all, it was the Great Witch of Fate who found the arc, and perhaps we also discovered the method of forging weapons using the arc. Witches are indeed very important in any era."
Perhaps forging fate into a weapon can minimize the cost of using its power. But the "two-sidedness" of fate is something that cannot be avoided in any way; it is the very nature of fate itself.
Therefore, Shad believed that forging the "Blade of Destiny" wasn't without its advantages, but the idea of forging weapons couldn't be ignored, because perhaps this was what was needed to actually harm "Mr. Snake." However, Shad also believed that the "Destiny of War" wasn't suitable for being forged into a weapon; such a weapon would probably only interest the [Tyranny Club].
As for forging that "wrong arc of fate" into a weapon, Shad would never do it, even if he were insane. He would rather summon the "Twilight Blade" again with the "Dragon Language Spell - Sword of Light" in the twilight sky than touch that arc, after all, he had used the former before and nothing bad had happened.
No, it's best not to do either of these things.
She spoke at that moment.
"Of course I wouldn't do that; it's just a comparison."
Shad thought to himself, he was about to tell Vanessa and Sylvie that he would go and fetch the Night's Watch, when suddenly all three of them shut their mouths and turned to look at the steps they had come from:
"Someone's gotten into parliament. Could things really be that bad?"
Sylvie caught the parchment scroll that fell from Shad's hand, while Vanessa lifted her skirt and let Shad the cat plunge into it.
Then, after a series of crisp high heels clicking on the stone steps, the Great Witch of Death, with her dark gray hair, looked down curiously from above:
"Oh, it's you guys. What are you doing here? I remember Vanessa hasn't opened this area in a long time, has she?"
Flora Winslet asked this question, and Sylvie kept a straight face:
"Are you the only one who came?"
"Yes. Are you waiting for someone?"
"No, I mean the Speaker isn't here, is that right?"
"only me."
Then the silver cat emerged from under Vanessa's skirt and transformed back into Shad. The artist immediately understood what had happened and covered her mouth to laugh.
"Is it exciting for you to do this kind of thing in parliament? I can draw it for you."
Then the parchment in Sylvie's hand was thrown at her.
Flora came to leave a letter informing everyone of her itinerary. Vanessa and Sirius's group came by boat along the coastline, while Flora and Miss Bell took the train directly from Velendale to Lomari City. Afterwards, the Radiant Messenger would go to the coast to pick them up and take them to the island.
Vanessa and Hillis have already arrived, while Flora and Miss Bell's group won't arrive until tomorrow morning. Although Willendale is closer to the island in a straight line, trains don't travel in a straight line, while ships follow the coastline with almost no detours.
Now that she had met Shad, Flora no longer needed to leave a letter. She was curious about what the three of them were doing there, and after hearing their descriptions of the "Ring of Fate" and related matters, Flora found it quite interesting:
"Are the forging methods passed down in the Council applicable to both curved arcs and complete rings? If a weapon as powerful as the Night Watchman can be forged from mere fragments of fate, I find it hard to imagine what a complete set of fate could create."
