Chapter 1269

~10 min read 1,914 words

Sister Daifulin didn't know what she had been busy with recently. Since entering 1854, every time Xia De visited Cassandra Auction House, he hadn't been able to meet her. After this meeting, Xia De learned that Sister Daifulin had left Midhillburg some time ago to assist Miss Aurora, who was in contact with the 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 cult.

That old lady Yilar was unwilling to easily hand over the God-Calling Ritual, but finally promised that as long as Miss Aurora helped her complete three things, the information of the ritual could be handed over to the Witch Council. And Sister Daifulin went to assist the witch to kill a giant worm living in the underground and burned it as firewood.

Now there was only one last task left for old lady Yilar. It is expected that by the end of this month, Miss Aurora would be able to get the information of the God-Calling Ritual.

Although Sister Daifulin spoke very lightly, Xia De could also feel the danger of this matter.

After waiting for the nun to finish speaking, Xia De first talked about the current situation in Randall Valley, even mentioning the unknown demon, and the nun wearing the silver eye mask just listened quietly.

The two were in the lowest level of the sacrificial ground. In the empty circular sacrificial ground, stairs spread upward around the central open space. Most of the sacrificial ground was in darkness and shadow, with only the brazier burning in the center providing a little light. The nun's sword, the Angel-level relic 【Ash】, was inserted obliquely in the center of the brazier, letting the strange flames burn and lick it.

After Xia De finished talking about recent events, Sister Daifulin did not discuss who was most likely to be the Chosen One of Earth, but said very indifferently:

"If it is one of the three ancient evil spirit demons you mentioned, it can indeed become good firewood."

Sister Daifulin's habitual indifferent tone was quite different from Hai La Osenfort's. Although both were almost unable to hear the tone, the former could still feel the thoughts of a living person, as well as the emotions occasionally revealed in the nun's heart. This was like a smoldering flame; even if you couldn't see the flame, you could perceive the temperature.

And the latter was completely lacking in emotion.

As for the nun also taking a fancy to that demon, there was no need to worry about her competing with the doctor. Doctor Shi Nai De devours demons, devouring the demon's power and the most important core essence, while Sister Daifulin wants a pure shell.

Although being taken away by the doctor would lower the quality of the firewood, it would not affect the burning. For example, the demon Fanni who increased desire last year, after defeating it, the doctor gave the demon remains to Xia De (Chapter 1047).

"Then are you going to Randall Valley recently? There is also a statue of the Ancient God of Space there. If you go there, you can come and go at any time."

The nun nodded:

"According to your plan, first determine the identity of the demon and its hiding place. If you need me, I can appear there at any time. Randall Valley also has Snake Heart Hospital."

Xia De finally mentioned the "Sands of Time soaked in the night color." This time the nun did not give the answer directly, but thought silently for a while:

"Although the Sands of Time possess indescribable power, they are not the most supreme power. Soak the Sands of Time in the water outside the beach where 'True Death' is materialized, and the power of death can contaminate these sands, allowing the time gravel to affect local time while bringing more inescapable death."

That is, letting ordinary Sands of Time increase the effect of probability of instant death.

"Sufficiently pure power can contaminate the Sands of Time? True death is the end of all things and the essence of death. The mystery and status are indeed stronger than simple Sands of Time. So, what I am looking for is the most essential night power... Isn't that the Old God 【Curtain of Eternal Night】?"

The City of Eternal Night where Fiona still stayed represents the most extreme night. But Xia De didn't think that if he brought the Sands of Time to that city, he could turn ordinary Sands of Time into the items required by the mission. That would be too simple.

"But thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible... Maybe it's really that simple..."

While thinking, the nun's cold voice sounded again:

"Pure night is related to the Ancient God 【Silver Moon Sage】. After the Ancient God left, the authority of the night belonged to the Old God 【Curtain of Eternal Night】. This God of the past has long since left in the current Sixth Era, but the God's creation 【Night Curtain】 still exists. During the era overlap, it transformed into a relic stained with whisper elements and was rated as Angel-level (Level 1). If you want to try, I can go to the Dawn Church to borrow it, which will take at least two months. This relic is strictly contained; once it gets out of control, the material world will fall into a long eternal night."

This time was too long:

"Are there any other similar relics or special items?"

"Sage-level relic 【Night Spring】, rumored to be the entrance to the ancient kingdom of the Third Era 'Kingdom of Ghosts', but it has long been lost. Sage-level relic 【Night Blade】, a longsword that cannot be seen at all in the night. When swung during the day, it can create a night in a small range. It is rumored that it was once used by the Old God 【Curtain of Eternal Night】 in the form of a Saint. This weapon last appeared in 908 of the Sixth Era, and there has been no trace of it since."

The nun only mentioned these two clues, but it seemed that they were not easier to get than the Angel-level relic 【Night Curtain】 contained by the Dawn Church.

"I'll think of other ways."

It's a pity that the 【All-Encompassing · Silver Moon】 in his hand is not like the other four Rhode cards. After he witnessed the Chosen One ritual, he obtained some peculiar power, otherwise, perhaps the power of the All-Encompassing card could directly contaminate the Sands of Time.

"There is also a very simple method, but it may not be useful."

The nun said suddenly, and Xia De looked at her.

"Although the Ancient God has long since left, the power of the Ancient God still affects the material world. You can try to visit the 'Night Temple', which is the ruin left by the creatures of the material world worshipping the night in the ancient era. Try praying to the God, perhaps it will work."

This is indeed possible, and the so-called "Night Temple" is not the ruin Xia De discovered in Randall Valley. That ruin is a Moon-Worship ruin. "Night Temple" is praying to the night. The Ancient Gods possess quite complex powers. Besides the cathedral dedicated to the God himself, there are also sacrificial grounds and temples dedicated to a certain power of the Ancient God.

"Then do you know where there is a Night Temple? It's best not to be too far. I have a lot of things to do in the Randall Valley area recently."

So Sister Daifulin ordered other nuns to search for information in the library and quickly gave the result:

"There is a ruin of a Night Temple in the Randall Valley area, but the ruin is in the mountains."

The map was displayed in front of Xia De. Calculating from the map, even if Xia De could find the way, it would take at least five or six hours to get from the city to the destination. Because the ruin of that 'Night Temple' is in the mountainous area in the east of Randall Valley, which is an area that only hunters occasionally go deep into.

"In the mountains... I got guidance yesterday that I need to go into the mountains to obtain the truth of the sublimation words. Maybe... I understand, thank you for your help, Sister Daifulin."

He took away the map and sincerely thanked Sister Daifulin. The nun shook her head and returned to Midhillburg with Xia De.

Because the "major event" mentioned by Stone Osenfort was going to happen tonight, visiting the ruin of that ancient Night Temple had to be postponed until Friday or even Saturday, and Xia De also needed an additional guide.

Originally, Xia De wanted to talk to Miss Bernice about this matter. If Miss Bernice had time and could fly, letting her take him there might be a little faster.

But just after arriving in Randall Valley this afternoon, Xia De was intercepted by a witch in the Forgotten Church:

"Oh, Xia De, where did you run off to this morning?"

She said and took Xia De's hand and walked out:

"What happened?"

"The church investigated the area around Eldron Lake you mentioned. Originally, I thought it wouldn't have a situation until tonight, but there are already results. At the bottom of Eldron Lake, a slight phenomenon of 'Crazy Earth' was discovered. Now the bottom of the lake is spewing black mud outward, and those black muds are flowing downstream, and will soon contaminate the entire river basin."

She said quickly:

"The church is urgently preparing for the ritual, planning to purify those pollutions in the evening. But since you said a major event would happen, those black muds might just be a precursor. Come with me to prepare; there might be a big battle tonight. I have also called Miss Luweiya Anat to the Wilde Opera House. Power of Earth · Summon Stone Statue, Abundance Domain, Healing Aura, we might have to use them together tonight."

The characteristics of the "Crazy Earth" that appeared this time were different from the previous few times. This time the characteristics were relatively simple, which is "contaminating water sources." It is not that the black mud produces toxins or adds curses, but directly corrects the concept of "clean lake water" to "unclean lake water," and anything can happen after drinking it.

Or more simply understood, this time it is spreading an epidemic that cannot be cracked by mortal means at all.

You must know that the Ailong River, where Eldron Lake is located, is one of the two largest rivers in the Randall Valley area, and it is also the most important water source for Randall Valley City and surrounding towns, and even other cities downstream rely on this river for water.

If it wasn't discovered in time, and the pollution had just appeared, the pollution itself would be enough to be called a big problem. And this reappearance of "Crazy Earth" also made the church determine that Randall Valley itself probably really had some kind of trouble that mortals could not perceive.

Even though the Sun Church had known about "Crazy Earth" since the last era and had mastered the way to eliminate it, in an era where the Whispering Poems of the Witch Emperors were constantly being performed and verified step by step, no one dared to relax their vigilance.
