Chapter 1074
"I also heard a prophecy locally, about disasters and evil things."
Xia De continued to introduce the prophecy he heard from Mr. Johnson, the Blood Kin diviner. Miss Miss Jia Lin Na then said to Miss Xierweiya with a smile:
"You see, I knew he would get involved in this matter for inexplicable reasons. During these days of our journey, Xia De has already found enough new information."
"So, I'm afraid we really have to go deep into the Great Swamp."
"Judging from the current snow disaster, the Pantanal Voodoo Society has already started the preliminary preparation work for the ritual."
Sister Sister Daifulin said softly, and the three looked at her. The sister maintained the posture of hands folded on her lap:
"The only question now is, why exactly does the Chosen One want to cooperate with the Pantanal Voodoo Society? According to Xia De's description, although Leijinsi Miss Pulin is madly seeking knowledge, he doesn't look like a madman who likes doomsday and disasters."
This was indeed a very important question, and the answer to this question was obtained on Sunday evening.
Although Yi Yi Yi Lu Na's group planned to enter the Pantanal area from within Delarion, causing Xia De to lose the most important intelligence source in the Church, Sister Sister Daifulin and the Church could be considered semi-cooperative. In the current situation where the fourth Chosen One was about to appear, the Church also hoped that she could enter the Great Swamp, so they shared some important intelligence.
Simply put, although the specific location of the Chosen One ritual had little impact on the ritual itself. As long as the ritual requirements were met, it didn't matter if it was the lake island in Tobesk, or even the lake island near Cold Water Port City.
But the situation of the Chosen One of 【Knowledge and Wisdom】 was somewhat special. According to the poem fragments of the Apuna Library, the important role of the 【Wise Man's Glow Stone】 was confirmed. But the Wise Man's Glow Stone did not appear because of the Chosen One ritual. This special item had existed since ancient times and was mostly used for rituals to enlighten wisdom.
"The intelligence Sister Sister Daifulin got from the Church is that on the lake island in the central lake of the Pantanal Great Swamp, there exists a very ancient ritual venue like a stone array. The ritual is broken, but it is definitely a trace left before the Fourth Era, which is basically impossible to replicate in modern times. Filling the ritual with 【Wise Man's Glow Stone】 can reactivate it and let it exert its effect again."
On this night at No. 6 St. Deran Square, Xia De was introducing the situation to Luweiya. The purple-eyed girl thought for a while:
"In other words, five Wise Man's Glow Stones can activate two rituals at the same time?"
"Yes."
"What is the function of that incomplete ancient ritual base array?"
She asked.
"The Pantanal Voodoo Society has studied in the Great Swamp area for many years. They thought it was a ritual to seal evil things, but later discovered it wasn't. The Truth Society played a role in it. That is the 【Ancient Ritual - Sublimation Secret Ritual】. It can activate those sleeping powers passed down from ancestors and draw power from the time of the past. For Leijinsi Miss Pulin, this can probably stimulate his wisdom angel bloodline."
Xia De held the cat and looked at the bonfire in the fireplace, with the map of the Pantanal area spread out on the coffee table:
"In addition, the Blood Spirit School seems to have also been involved. The wounds of the Blood-Weeping Hermon at the end of summer have not yet healed, but they have cooperation with the Truth Society and provided some information. 【Blood Spirit School】 has not been chasing 'Golden Humans'? The Ancient Ritual - Sublimation Secret Ritual is considered to have the power to purify human bloodlines."
"I knew things would become very troublesome... How did the Church suddenly know so many things? Before this, we didn't hear any wind at all."
Luweiya asked again, sitting on the sofa holding a teacup. Xia De looked down at Little Mia. They had started this conversation before the sun set, so the gas lamp in the living room was not turned on.
The firelight of the fireplace cast the shadows of the two together on the wall, and the shadows dancing crazily were so strange.
"The Apuna Library said so."
"How many things have they hidden?"
Luweiya sighed softly, and Xia De shook his head:
"To be precise, they surrendered themselves. The Apuna Library admitted to the Church that they sought help from the 【Truth Society】, thereby knowing the 【Pantanal Voodoo Society】, and then let the Voodoo Society provide information about the lake island in the central lake of the Great Swamp, confirming the traces of the Ancient Ritual - 【Sublimation Secret Ritual】..."
He looked at Luweiya:
"And, the Apuna Library admitted that they knew long ago that the fourth Chosen One was Leijinsi Miss Pulin, just as the Church knew before everything started that Yi Yi Yi Lu Na was the Chosen One of Balance. Everything the Apuna Library did was for the wisdom enlightenment during the Chosen One ritual, and if two rituals could be held at the same time, the effect of the enlightenment spiritual light at that time could reach the extreme."
"Knew long ago..."
Luweiya seemed to have figured out some things:
"Then did they cultivate Leijinsi Miss Pulin, or even actively help him become a Ringed Ringed Shushi of the Cerkes Higher Medical College, or just guide his behavior?"
"Don't know."
Xia De shook his head slightly:
"The Cerkes Higher Medical College side has already launched an emergency investigation. Things like academic spies are huge scandals... In short, it's a bit different from what we thought. The Truth Society didn't play a big role in it. They just watched all this silently, and then pushed the right person at the right time."
"This is very consistent with Miss Miss Pawo's personality."
Luweiya said, and Xia De looked at her very strangely. He didn't even know that Luweiya was so familiar with that Vice President of the Truth Society.
"Xia De, did you just say that the Apuna Library surrendered themselves?"
"Yes, they deliberately brought Leijinsi Miss Pulin and the people of the Pantanal Voodoo Society to meet, which was the time we bumped into each other at the Three Cats Hotel. Later, Leijinsi Miss Pulin got the complete information about the Chosen One from the demon. They just pushed the waves - this is what the library itself claimed, but even if they wanted to borrow the opportunity of enlightenment to find the legendary library containing all knowledge and records, they still didn't want to be wiped out by the Church. Therefore, after helping Leijinsi Miss Pulin and the Pantanal Voodoo Society and confirming that their plan had started, they immediately cut off contact with them and then found the Church to surrender all the things."
Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly, his palm stayed on Little Mia, this cat was very soft:
"In this way, even if the Church wants to liquidate the Apuna Library, they have to take them into the Great Swamp to solve this matter first. After all, the Apuna Library is the organization that knows everything best."
"Another mad seeker of knowledge."
Luweiya said softly:
"Both an informant and a keeper of secrets? After the Pantanal matter is over, the Church will not let them go."
"But at least, they do have a possibility of finding the so-called 'library containing all knowledge and records of the past'."
Xia De's fingers scratched the cat's chin, and the latter made a purring sound from its throat. This cat was unusually well-behaved today:
"Wisdom is the enemy of the wise... Leijinsi Miss Pulin held a ritual on the lake island in the depths of the Great Swamp with the help of the Pantanal Voodoo Society. And the Voodoo Society helping him was not for enlightenment, but the holding of that bloodline ritual would seriously damage the seal, and Miss Pulin promised to help them further break the seal. In other words, both sides took what they needed. Once the Chosen One ritual was successfully held, the Voodoo Society would immediately destroy the seal, letting the numerous evil things sealed in the Great Swamp area return to the material world from the slumber of the subspace."
"Even if the Pantanal Great Swamp is sparsely populated, this is not a good thing."
"Yes. This battlefield is no longer a big city like Cold Water Port or Tobesk, nor is it an area near the city like the Xikar Mountains. This time it is in the depths of the Great Swamp where no one goes. But precisely because of this, it is unfavorable for the Church to take action. Although the Church has not been able to directly participate in the Chosen One ritual in the past few times, if they hadn't held back most of the enemies, my actions wouldn't have been so smooth."
"After the stars reach the correct position, will Leijinsi Miss Pulin hold the ritual on the lake island in the central lake of the Great Swamp?"
Luweiya asked, and Xia De nodded gently:
"But the specific time point, the Apuna Library doesn't know either, that is the secret of the Voodoo Society. The Diviner Society should have received the task, I think there will be results soon. Today is Sunday, the holding of the ritual should be within two or three days."
"Your time key hasn't been used yet?"
Luweiya suddenly asked, and Xia De nodded again:
"The help this key gives me, although not necessarily greater than in the past, this time is a true legend. I will witness a true legendary story, a legendary path..."
Shadows shrouded Xia De's face. In the firelight of the fireplace at this moment, he seemed to see Miss Chloe and the other two on the ridge of the snow mountain again, being blown by the violent wind and climbing towards the top:
"What I am going to witness is the path to semi-godhood of a thirteenth-ring witch."
"Semi-god?"
The purple-eyed girl also looked at the bonfire, but what she saw in the fire must be different from what Xia De saw.
"Meow~"
The cat was urging them to go out to eat. The two chatted for an afternoon, and this cat had long lost patience.
The witches who arrived in Huntington City were preparing to use spatial jumping to go directly into the depths of the Great Swamp. Because after leading Miss Xierweiya to touch the ancient god statue in the underground wine cellar of the White River Valley Vineyard, this lady had the ability to go to Xia De's house from Huntington City at any time. In this way, Xia De didn't have to wait for news in Huntington City all the time, and the witches could inform him of the latest situation at any time.
So on the following Monday, taking the gift of the week from the 【God's Gift Box】 in the morning, a red wool scarf, and accepting the task of giving this scarf as a gift to a friend, Xia De first sent Luweiya to the Diviner Society in the heavy snow, and then was forced to accept a carriage price 30% higher than usual, took a carriage to the east of the city, and met Doctor Schneider.
In this terrible weather, many patients at the doctor's place also canceled their original appointments, so even on Monday morning, he seemed very leisurely.
After explaining the patient's situation to the receptionist at the clinic in the afternoon, the doctor went to the second floor to talk to Xia De, and Xia De's first sentence surprised him:
"Doctor, do you have any powerful demon artifacts in your hand? Weapons, alchemy items, potions, these are all fine."
