Chapter 1035: Nun, Fire, and Twin Butterflies

Xia De, holding a box in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, led by Sister Sister Daifulin, passed through the elevator inside the sacrificial site and came to the "Primordial Fire Sacrificial Site" in the true sense located on the bottom floor.

The Primordial Fire flame was burning in the center of the circular sacrificial site that layered upward. The nun's weapon, the 【Ashes】 longsword, was inserted diagonally into the center of the bonfire, and the flames licked the strange longsword.

"Offer firewood."

The blind nun wearing a gray nun's robe stood by the fire basin, her silver blindfold reflecting the jumping, unstable firelight.

Xia De handed the narrow-necked bottle containing the "demon remains" to the nun. The nun reached her right hand into the flames. The Primordial Fire ignited her right hand almost immediately. As burn marks appeared, the chapping that appeared on the skin surface crawled all over the nun's body from the flames, until sparks appeared on the tips of her decaying gray long hair.

Sister Sister Daifulin, ignited by the Primordial Fire, also reached her left hand into the bonfire's flames. As the "demon remains" held in her hands were completely swallowed, the not-so-vigorous flames suddenly jumped upward, as if celebrating the ignition of new firewood.

At the same time, traces of "Primordial Fire Embers" also appeared on Xia De's body, and the strength of the Primordial Fire also made the fire within his body more powerful.

"Offer fire."

The nun said softly again, her voice as stable and peaceful as the flowing water of a glacier.

Xia De opened the lamp cover of the lantern, and Sister Sister Daifulin still reached out her hands directly. This time it was both hands, hands with magma-colored luster flowing in the chapping on the surface, covering the faint flame that had been produced after collecting "Sun Fire" for 8 days at Xia De's home.

Compared to the Primordial Fire she guarded, the Sun's fire burned the nun's porcelain-like skin even more mercilessly. The nun only trembled slightly, but Xia De still noticed a flush appearing on the fair cheeks under her blindfold.

The flames were held out of the lantern by the nun and sent into the fire basin. Two strange flames merged together and naturally became the same flame. The Primordial Fire fused with the "Sun Fire" appeared with a faint golden color, but soon returned to its original color.

Sister Sister Daifulin, regardless of the burn marks on her hands, gathered inward in the fire basin with both hands. All the flames then gathered toward her hands, until the flames in her palms became the shape Xia De was familiar with, a circular flame dragging a tail of flame upward.

She did not directly take the "Primordial Fire" back into her body, but turned her trembling body toward Xia De:

"Hero who carries the Primordial Fire, at this moment, please touch the darkness within me."

Quite ancient grammar, saying words Xia De didn't quite understand in a trembling voice.

【She is going to give you power.】

"She" said with a smile in Xia De's ear.

Sure enough, the nun whose whole body was flowing with flames held the faint Primordial Fire flame toward Xia De, so Xia De knelt on one knee and reached out his right hand toward the nun's hands.

At this very moment, like a hero being endowed with power in an old oil painting. When his hand rested between the nun's burned hands, the flames followed Xia De's right arm and swallowed him as well.

In that firelight, the Primordial Fire endowed Xia De with brand new power:

【Outsider, your cold resistance is significantly enhanced, and your fire resistance is significantly enhanced.】

"Sorry, even with new firewood, the fire is still weak, and I cannot provide you with more power."

The nun said softly, her emotions not as agitated as Xia De thought.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia De stood up and looked at the flame between Sister Sister Daifulin's hands:

"Although it is not 100% certain, the Chosen One ritual for the fourth Chosen One will likely be held in the Pan Ta Na Er Great Swamp area. At that time, we will not only have the opportunity to go to the center of the swamp to recover the split flames, but we might even have to face the evil things of Pan Ta Na Er directly."

A faint smile appeared on Sister Sister Daifulin's face:

"I will act together with the witches, and then you can go to the ritual site with us."

Xia De nodded and looked at the 【Ashes】 longsword still burning in the fire basin:

"Nun, I have some things I want to ask you. I know that the 【Spirit Cultivation Sect】 also has the tradition of worshiping the moon. Do you have any methods that can enhance the perception of the moon's power? I don't know if you have heard of the To Bei Si Ke matter, I am looking for an item that represents the yellow moon."

The nun nodded:

"Come with me to the library to get books. You can borrow any knowledge here as long as you are interested. However, you need additional ritual materials to enhance the perception of the moon."

"Is Moon-Flower Water okay?"

"Pure moonlight?"

The nun "looked" at Xia De:

"That is enough."

"Then, do you have any way to let me temporarily merge with the Sun Fire, and then take the fire out when the time is right?"

This was for Miss Chloe, the witch trapped in the "Bai Yin Mountains." Xia De couldn't carry supernatural items into the past at will, especially if the item was not a "task item." But if he could temporarily assimilate the "Sun Fire," then this fire could appear in the past with Xia De, just like the Primordial Fire.

"The Primordial Fire can contain any fire it has ever swallowed. This requires the technique of manipulating fire. I will teach you."

Her hand held Xia De's hand. Xia De was startled and looked up to see a flush on Sister Sister Daifulin's face, only he wasn't sure if it was an illusion in the dim light.

After bidding farewell to Sister Sister Daifulin that afternoon, Xia De went to Ka Shan De La Auction House to visit Grace and Helen. Mi De Xi Er Bao was also snowing today, and the Red Butterfly twins were checking the contained Relics in the basement with the witch apprentice Miss Swift.

It happened that there was nothing to do today. Before leaving Mi De Xi Er Bao, Xia De finally fulfilled his promise, took the Grace and Helen sisters, and borrowed the power of the 【Magician's Escape Box】 to go from Mi De Xi Er Bao to Saint De Lan Square No. 6.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, wearing black and white dresses respectively, seemed particularly excited about this short trip. And Little Mia felt particularly unhappy that two more strangers had come.

"Sir, is this where you live now?"

Even though Helen, as "Miss Black," had once spied on where Detective Sparrow lived, appearing here with her sister and Xia De still felt extremely interesting.

The twin girls didn't ask for more, just had dinner with him at Xia De's house, listened to him tell his stories in front of the fireplace, and set off to return to Mi De Xi Er Bao at 9:30 in the evening.

And according to the experiment, just as Xia De guessed, the Red Butterfly twins could use the 【Space Maze】 to move by touching the ancient god statue.

After all, the twins' power came from the Old God 【Twin Gods】, and the Old God 【Twin Gods】 carried the power of the Ancient God 【Primordial Crack】 whose statue image was "two-headed." Although Grace and Helen didn't inherit the power of space, as Relics, the source of their power was indeed that ancient god.

After establishing the landmark of Saint De Lan Square No. 6, they wouldn't need to use the 【Magician's Escape Box】 to travel between Mi Bao and Xia De's home in the future. But unfortunately, although following Xia De or being at Saint De Lan Square No. 6 allowed the twins to leave Mi De Xi Er Bao for a short time, this short "trip" also told them that they couldn't do this frequently.

Therefore, Helen and Grace made an appointment with Xia De to visit Xia De once a month in the future. After Xia De agreed, the two girls kissed Xia De on the cheek on the left and right, and after smiling and bidding farewell to Xia De, they held hands and touched the statue in the basement, leaving here.

"Speaking of which, seeing them this time, they seem to have matured a bit more than last time."

Xia De thought when he walked out of the basement, reached into his pocket, but touched a handkerchief he hadn't seen before. Only then did he realize that this was probably secretly stuffed into his pocket by Helen when they parted. The handkerchief had black lace edges and even the residual warmth of body temperature. Among the twins, Helen preferred this color scheme.

【As their injuries heal, their appearance will turn toward their true posture, which is twenty-something.】

"She" said softly. Xia De nodded, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and stuffed it back into his pocket:

"Although this time, they couldn't participate in the final battle of the Chosen One ritual with me, maybe they can help me with some things in the future."

【Is that really all you thought of?】

"She" asked with a smile.

Time came to Wednesday, which was the Day of the Red Butterfly. Xia De originally planned to find Duo Luo Qian early in the morning, and then wait until noon for the official start of the Day of the Red Butterfly. But when having breakfast, the news sent by Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te through the poem manuscript page made Xia De put down the half-eaten bread and project to the Saint Bai Lun Si Library.

It was still the open space in the center of the library, and it was still sitting on a chair facing the coffee table and sofa. After Xia De came back to his senses, he saw the very familiar stone slab on the coffee table at a glance.

Palm-sized, with the ancient rune number "three" on the surface. Three corners, clearly large yellow gemstone corners.

The stone slab obtained from Mr. Ai De Meng De was the number "two" and silver corners; the stone slab obtained from the A Pu Na Library was the number "one" and ruby corners.

He even forgot to say hello and asked in disbelief:

"This is..."

The library administrator lady put down her teacup:

"Yes, the thing you are looking for. It is indeed in the library. I brought more than ten students to help flip through and look for it, and it took half a week to find it. There are too many books and treasures in the Academy Library. This kind of item without discovered danger and unclear value is often placed in a very suitable place by a certain generation of library administrators and then no one pays attention to it anymore."

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te said, and then told Xia De a piece of bad news. ===== CHAPTER 1036 =====
