Chapter 3709 Moon's Prayer (Seeking Votes)

Chapter 3709 Moon's Prayer (Seeking Votes)

Some of the elves who came to participate in the Queen's coronation ceremony still lived on the ship, while others were stationed on the island. The camp was about the same distance from Timewheel City and Kael-Todd Town, which strengthened the connection between the two human settlements and ensured their safety.

Shortly after the welcoming banquet, Shad saw Emilia again in the magnificent tent in the center of the elven camp, a tent whose interior was much larger than its exterior. This tent reminded him of the tent where he last saw Chloe by the frozen lake.

Megan and Sylvia marveled at the ancient alchemical creation, while Emilia, now back in her elf form, had changed out of her simple elven dress and clung to Shad, refusing to let go.

"What a hassle, but at least we've arrived on this island! I'm going to check on Ellie and Leona later. Have they gained any weight recently? We have over twenty unicorn friends with us this time, so maybe Ellie and Leona can live with them at the camp."

The pointy-eared elf girl said cheerfully, "I'm so happy to be able to leave the academy with a legitimate reason after all this time."

Shad then asked Daniste, who was also present:

"What will happen to Emilia's classes if she leaves the academy?"

“I can catch up on the classes when I get back to the academy. Besides, it’s only a matter of half a month at most. If Emilia works hard after we get back, catching up on the classes before the summer exam week shouldn’t be a problem.”

Even after Emilia's successful coronation, Grandma Kisara and the others had no intention of stopping her studies. But Emilia didn't care about that now; she was free.

"My mother-in-law and the others said that after I meet with the representatives of Dragon Island and other alien forces in the next few days, I will be fine before the official coronation ceremony."

She clung to Shad's arm:

"Shad, wasn't that dress I wore pretty? I spent ages picking it out, but it only looks good on me when I'm all grown up."

Xia De then replied with a smile:

"Of course it's beautiful. It has a kind of feeling, like it stepped out of a myth."

Emilia's coronation ceremony was ultimately scheduled after the story of the chosen ones had ended. The elves' early arrival was partly to help, and partly to allow Emilia to demonstrate her power in the "eye of the storm" of the current material world.

Emilia initially wanted to move to the ship and live with everyone, but the old elves absolutely refused. However, the camp wasn't far from the town of Kyle-Todd, so Emilia, though disappointed, had no choice but to accept it.

“Iluna doesn’t live with everyone either. Adelina is still in Tobesk. I’m not the only one who has fallen behind.”

She thought about it with great optimism.

Afterwards, Sylvie and Vanessa, representing the Witch Council, met with the old elves and finalized the details of their cooperation in the story of the chosen ones. Meanwhile, Emilia and Shad went to the Snow Mountain Hall, intending to take the little unicorns away, as their unicorn lairs in the Snow Mountain Hall were still too small.

Little Leona had no objection to leaving with Emilia, but Ellie refused to go. She bit Shad's hem with her mouth, trying to hide behind him, but of course, her pony-like figure couldn't be completely concealed by Shad.

"You don't want to leave, do you? You want to stay by Shad's side? But even if you move, you won't be far from Shad. Wait a minute, this is..."

After touching Ellie, Emilia asked Shad and Stella, who often came to take care of the unicorns, with some surprise:

"Has Ellie shown any unusual behavior in the past few days?"

"No, I'm eating and sleeping very well."

Shad answered, and Emilia immediately shook her head:

"It's not about eating and sleeping, I feel like Ellie seems a bit..."

She thought for a long time but couldn't find a very suitable adjective:

"Ellie and Leona are a little different now, but I can't quite put my finger on why. It shouldn't be a bad thing."

As she spoke, she reached out and touched Ellie again:

"Keep a close eye on her lately; I have a feeling something might happen to her."

This child was tormented by a demon and couldn't go home before; we can't let her live alone now. Since Ellie doesn't want to leave, then let little Leanna stay too. I'll visit them every day.

Then, as if by magic, she produced a bright red apple:

"Look what gift I brought! It's apples! Many people have given me gifts for my coronation, and these are delicious apples."

Luvia, who was unable to attend the elven welcoming ceremony due to her identity, walked in with Claire from outside the unicorn's den:

"Emilia, it's been a long time. Shad, is there destiny in [Elven Throne]?"

She asked the question, and Emilia removed the crown from her arm and handed it to Shad. After gazing at the crown, Shad returned it to Emilia.

"No, this is not what I expected. This ancient crown, which has been passed down through generations, is actually without a destiny."

Luvia, however, thought this was quite reasonable:

"All known items with destiny have been given destiny by humans. We have never encountered an item that has given birth to destiny itself. The ancient elven kings who forged these crowns may have known about the existence of the Ring of Destiny, but the more powerful a mortal is, the more they know that destiny is not something that can be used casually."

Luvia reminded her:

"Think about it carefully, whether in modern times or ancient times, aren't those who touch the ring or curve of fate all fortune tellers, prophets or prophetes? This actually explains a lot."

Shad nodded:

“Now that Emilia has arrived on the island, the elves are willing to provide all their assistance. Although the island’s area has doubled due to the first shock of fate, we also have more manpower. Emilia, go back and prepare. The witches have already compiled the information on the ‘Lustful One.’ Take a look at it carefully, and we will deal with her tomorrow or the day after.”

“Well, Shad, I’ve recently learned a lot of elven mysticism from other clans, you’ll be very surprised.”

Only then did she think of something else:

"I almost forgot about this. During the mythical era, some elves worshipped the Tree Father and others worshipped the Sage of the Moon. When the elven clans were unified this time, many ancient secret techniques were sent to me."

I've learned some of the moon's power, like Moonlight Slash, but it doesn't really suit me. However, I've found an ability that's perfect for you, Shad. Here, take this.

She handed Shad a vibrant green leaf. Although it wasn't the "Leaf of Immortality," it was still a leaf that allowed him to store and retrieve information through a "leaf-obscuring" method. Of course, this leaf could only store information; it couldn't directly grant Shad power.

Shad held the leaf to his eyes, and after a moment he understood what power Emilia had chosen for him:

"【Moon Prayer - Sanctuary Aura】. Kneel on one knee, place your palm on the ground and bow your head in prayer. Spread moonlight outward from your palm, purifying the earth and continuously dealing moonlight damage to creatures within the area. For a period of time after the spell ends, the power of moonlight, stars, and night is amplified in the area affected by the power."

This extraordinary technique deals continuous damage. Furthermore, the caster can control the area of ​​effect; theoretically, given sufficient spiritual energy and a powerful enough soul, it's not impossible to spread the aura's power throughout the entire world.

Luvia understood as soon as she heard the name of the magic:

"Like [Earth Power], [Moon Prayer] is also an ancient god's divine art, right? The ancient earth god's divine art is power, while the moon sage's is prayer. Even though both are gods who mostly appear in female form, their styles are indeed different."

She asked Emilia, and the pointy-eared elf who had just fed Ellie the apple immediately nodded:

"Yes, this is divine magic. And like Shad's [Spatial Stability Aura], it's an aura-type ability. This divine magic was contributed by the elves of the Nightsong Clan; they said that the requirements for learning divine magic are extremely demanding."

Emilia counted on her fingers, clearly having memorized it on purpose:

"Your faith must be strong enough, your affinity with the moon must be strong enough, your level must be high enough, and you must pray before each use. You also cannot be dirty when casting the spell. Oh, although casting the spell does not require casting materials, you need to possess a secret book or scripture related to that moon goddess."

At that moment, "she" whispered in Xia De's ear:

[Because of divine existence, no prayer or scriptures are needed. Possessing any one of the following: Moonlight Greatsword/Moon Tear/Secret Flame is sufficient.]

"Does that require faith?"

When asked, "she" seemed to smile slightly.

Simply keep the moon in your heart.

"These ancient god spells with extremely high requirements usually have excellent effects. I have tried the ancient sun god spells recorded in the council library, and each one is extraordinary."

Claire then teased Shad:

"But Shad should have no problem learning it, right? I think he should be able to learn any power related to the moon without any problems."

Like most "Moonlight" series powers, this divine spell can only be learned at night. Moreover, because it is a high-level divine spell, the material requirements are quite high.

"Moonlight Water" is of course indispensable, and Shad has heard of most of the other materials as they were used in the ritual of "calling the Silver Moon Gate".

Shad thought for a moment:

“I can ask Danist for help with the materials; she prepared backup materials when she held the last ceremony. The venue requirement is an altar or temple of the moon goddess, which is no problem. As for the ceremony arrangements, I'll have Danist come with me to the Temple of the Night tonight. If everything goes well, I should be able to master this divine spell tonight.”

"Amelia, this is a lovely gift, but could Danesther also try learning it?"
