【Outsider, Blasphemous Spiritual Rune - Red Moon, changed to a usable state.】

【Outsider, Magic - Moon Shadow Illusion, changed to a usable state.】

【Red Moon, Silver Moon, Yellow Moon spiritual runes resonate. All magic related to the moon receives a permanent boost.】

Xia De opened his eyes, looked up at the moon outside the window where it was snowing, and then looked at the three glowing stone slabs rotating around him.

He reached out and touched the last Red Moon stone slab without saying a word. After sighing slightly, the knowledge on how to further sublimate the magic 【Time Perception】 to learn the true mysteries of time appeared completely in his mind:

"The sublimation ritual for magic is really complicated, and it requires an artifact of at least angel level or above that is closely related to time as the core material for the ritual. It requires powerful ancient power as an auxiliary for the ritual, as well as countless other ritual materials."

There were too many ritual materials for sublimating the magic 【Time Perception】, and he definitely wouldn't be able to collect them all in a short time. Xia De planned to entrust someone to purchase them first, and then hold this ritual after the matter of the fourth Chosen One was over. He couldn't be distracted now, and since the ritual had been determined, it didn't matter when it was performed.

"Moonlight Greatsword."

While standing up from the ground, his right hand reached out from the air and took out a short sword with scarlet moonlight. It was a quite gorgeous short sword, as if made of pale red translucent glass, which belonged to the spiritual weapon summoned by the magic 【Moonlight Greatsword】, along with the silver Moonlight Greatsword and the yellow Moonlight Longsword. And it turned into the appearance of a short sword because the source of 【Red Moon】 was related to the God of Blood Kin.

"Evil special attack of silver moonlight, normal attack of yellow moonlight, flesh decay of red moonlight."

He whispered, dissipated the red short sword, held the 【Source of Chaos】 in one hand, and picked up Little Mia in the other.

Even though the spiritual rune was unsealed and even an extremely powerful artifact was obtained, there was still no smile on Xia De's face, but rather caution:

"Obtaining powerful props and power before the big war is not a good sign. But fortunately, 【Aikenola's Arrow of Knowledge】 and 【Source of Chaos】 are only Sage level."

But this still represented many things. The Outsider knew that this world had so-called destiny. More gains often meant stronger challenges.

He looked at the three stone slabs floating slowly around him again. All three stone slabs were glowing, and on the surface were a silver full moon surrounded by olive branch patterns, a yellow crescent moon wrapped in laurel branches, and a red new moon wrapped in blood-colored roses.

"What exactly are these three stone slabs used for?"

He thought that something would happen when the three stone slabs gathered, or at least they would have the effect of boosting power, but it didn't seem so.

Putting the stone slabs, which had no other functions besides glowing and flying, back into the basement, and putting the 【Source of Chaos】 into the 【God's Gift Box】, Xia De finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The secret compartment in Room No. 2 on the second floor didn't know what method was used to make it. Although the volume was not large, it could be considered to have provided a place to contain the 【Source of Chaos】 for a hundred years. This artifact was the most dangerous artifact in his hands and could not be taken out when others were present, otherwise, there would be another batch of madmen in this world.

According to the characteristics of the artifact, although it did not come into direct contact with moonlight during these hundred years, because that wall faced the window, the power of moonlight penetrated into the wall, which caused the powerful confusing effect of 【Source of Chaos】. Leaving it on the second floor would likely further enhance the "confusing" characteristics of the artifact. Temporarily put it in the 【God's Gift Box】, and after the matter of the Chosen One is over, Xia De can ask Miss Dannister for a better containment method.

He actually didn't like this artifact very much. Although it had the characteristic of enhancing moon magic, the danger was really too great.

Of course, although there were doubts and fears in his heart, obtaining a new artifact and unsealing the 【Red Moon】 spiritual rune still made Xia De very happy.

Holding the cat back to the bedroom, lying on the bed to check the letter found with the 【Source of Chaos】. Just as Xia De thought, this was left by the Ringed Ringed Shushi who hid the artifact at No. 6 St. Deran Square a hundred years ago, and it was written in Delarion common language:

【This house is very wrong. Even though I only lived here for three months, I can still feel that this house is quite wrong. I tried to move as little as possible in this house, but occasionally I could still hear the sighs of the dead, the rolling of dice, and the crackling sound of flames from nowhere.】

By the bedside gas lamp, Xia De saw this text clearly:

"The sighs of the dead, probably he noticed the edge of life and death in the third-floor corridor, but what do the rolling of dice and the crackling of flames refer to?"

Xia De looked around. So far, he had noticed three problems in this house. The space in the basement, the dangerous artifact buried inside the wall of Room No. 2 on the second floor, and the edge of life and death in the third-floor corridor. Looking at it this way, he seemed to still not fully understand the problems of this house.

"This can't scare me, this is my house!"

Amidst "her" laughter, Xia De said very firmly in his heart. He reached out and touched the cat lying beside him, then continued to read the letter:

【Latecomer, you can find this letter, which means you are also favored by that moon. I chased the moon and walked through countless storms, but finally discovered some terrible and strange facts. Please make sure your spirit can withstand it before continuing to read the content behind.】

Xia De frowned slightly. After that, it was not Delarion common language, but another ancient text whose origin he did not know, crawling on the paper like vines:

【The initial moon was only one, the silver moon.】

This was something Xia De already knew, so the truth passed down from the ancient era did not affect him.

【The splitting of the moon seems to be related to the instability of the world. I chased the traces of the ancient gods, but finally found nothing. The chaos and madness of the Yellow Moon must be related to the shift in the essence of the world. I plan to find the legendary high tower, the high tower that buries the moon. Latecomer, I leave the artifact of the Yellow Moon here, wishing that we can be protected by the moon together.】

The signature was "Astrologer Euclid".

"The instability of the world..."

Xia De was silent for a moment, and suddenly heard "her" prompt in his ear:

"There is hidden text."

Xia De turned slightly, took out the revealing powder he bought from Priest August from the bedside table, and after applying it, he really saw a line of new text. It was written in Delarion language, and the handwriting was the same as the letters in front:

【I don't know if I should leave this passage, nor do I know the era you are in, whether the Whispering Great Movement has already begun. The reason I chose to rest temporarily in this dangerous house is because the stars and the poem fragments told me that the Chosen One of the Moon will settle in this house. If you don't understand this sentence, please treat it as my gibberish. Good luck.】

Xia De was slightly startled:

"The matter of the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom hasn't ended yet, and you tell me about the Chosen One of the Moon? Settle in this house? In other words, the Chosen One will at least stay in my house for one night?"

He folded the ancient paper page, clipped it on the book by the bedside, extinguished the gas lamp with countless thoughts, shrank into the quilt, and prepared to rest.

Lying on his side with his eyes open looking at the window, he heard Little Mia's breathing gradually become even, and also noticed the heavy snow outside the window:

"Silver Moon..."

【Why sigh?】

"Just... a bit panicked... That blood-sucking Duke told me at the banquet that the gathering of the three moons is very important to me, but except for the enhancement of the power of magic, it seems nothing has happened... Am I too greedy? I thought something more magical would happen."

【But, have you really fully mastered the power of the three moons?】

Xia De smiled, closed his eyes, and fell into the dream in the endless wilderness where the huge silver moon disk was suspended.

(Little Mia is running...)

Early Saturday morning, Xia De was awakened by the whistling wind outside the window. He got out of bed with sleepy eyes and pulled open the curtains, then was surprised to see the heavy snow outside, and St. Deran Square which was almost submerged by the snow:

"The snow disaster predicted by Mr. Johnson the Blood Kin? No, this is just heavy snow, not yet to the extent of a snow disaster."

Although it was just heavy snow, even though he was indoors at this time, he could feel how exaggerated the strong wind and heavy snow outside were. This snow started falling when he went to Room No. 2 to find the 【Source of Chaos】 last night. He didn't expect it to become like this.

For the harvest last night, Xia De planned to find time to inform Luweiya before the meeting in the afternoon, so after washing and eating breakfast, he left Mia to watch the house, and then went to Huntington City alone. Today is the day the steam airship lands.

Just after walking out of the underground wine cellar of the White River Valley Vineyard, Xia De was forced back by the strong wind and heavy snow outside. In the wine capital where the climate of the four seasons was quite good in his impression, today also ushered in an unexpected heavy snow weather.

The old Blood Kin responsible for guarding the White River Valley Vineyard, because he heard Xia De mention that he would come today yesterday, so early this morning, he braved the wind and snow to prepare a carriage for him. It was definitely impossible to ride a horse in this weather.

Before leaving, the old man sighed to Xia De that he had lived in Huntington City for nearly forty years and it was the first time he had seen such heavy snow. Xia De inquired about the time when the snow started falling, and the time was about the same as when it started snowing in Tobesk last night.

"I don't know if the steam airship will encounter any danger in this heavy snow weather."

This was Xia De's thought in the carriage.

And when he met Sister Sister Daifulin at the Snake Heart Hospital, the bad premonition really came true. The Princess's group had already confirmed that they would not be able to reach Huntington City today.
