Chapter 1355: Eve of the Storm

Miss Danister, standing in front of Xia De, observed the Holy Grail with great interest:

"You didn't explain clearly in the letter where this Holy Grail came from."

"The professors from Zalas and Sexes also asked similar questions yesterday. Well, it was given by the Witch Council. We suspect that at least one Great Witch has come to the local area, and has even lived in the local area for a long time. Since the beginning of this year, the Witch Council has been providing us with help on matters in Randel Valley."

The one speaking was the old gentleman responsible for guarding the Holy Grail here. He wore an ordinary sacrificial robe and was not only an eleven-ring warlock but also a pharmacist.

"Witch Council?"

Miss Danister raised an eyebrow. She knew the speaker of the council (Chapter 1129), and her view of the Witch Council was not as bad as the church's:

"I remember that they also came to help during the Battle of Pantanal. I don't know who came this time."

With the consent of Mr. Pierre Granger, the Holy Grail that was slowly releasing liquid was taken down, allowing the three professors of Saint Byron to inspect and identify it.

This was undoubtedly an extremely special divine ritual item. After the Sun Church obtained this cup, they judged that this divine ritual item pointed to the ancient Earth Mother God. As for the small rune on the Holy Grail, because the text was too ancient, it hadn't been deciphered for the time being.

Miss Danister used her miracle to identify it, and then suddenly asked Xia De, who was somewhat distracted because he felt too bored:

"What is the meaning of this rune?"

Xia De had revealed that he knew many ancient languages, and deciphering this rune wouldn't cause any bad effects, so he answered:

"Sweet."

"So, the elixir produced by this Holy Grail all has a sweet taste. Even after dilution, the sweet taste is still very obvious."

The pharmacist on the side suddenly realized, and Miss Danister asked Professor Mason, who came from the Ancient Literature Academy and specialized in the interpretation and analysis of spirit runes and ancient language inheritance:

"According to your view, is this rune related to the effect of producing the elixir?" Professor Mason shook her head slightly:

"I have studied the ancient Holy Grail of the Earth God. The function of the Holy Grail itself manifests the authority of the most ancient Earth God. 'Sweet' has nothing to do with the healing effect. It should be some kind of special potion that relies on the power of the Old God represented by the Holy Grail itself to exert the effect of curbing the madness of the earth."

"We also judged it this way."

Mr. Pierre said:

"The formula of the potion is very likely from the Witch Council. They master a lot of ancient knowledge that even the church doesn't know. But obviously, the formula is not the key; the Holy Grail is the key. If we could know the source of the Holy Grail, we could actually configure similar potions, but the effect would be worse."

Miss Danister put down the Holy Grail and watched it float back above the altar:

"I still have some friendship with the Witch Council and can inquire about the potion formula. But you are right, the Holy Grail is the key. I have read information about the Earth Holy Grail in the literature. After all, the holy emblem of that Old God is the appearance of the Holy Grail. It's just that the Earth Holy Grail passed down from the ancient era to the present, even if it still exists, is treasured by those secret organizations and cannot be taken out. As for this one..."

"This is not an ancient creation. Although it cannot be analyzed specifically how it was produced, it is very likely related to the power of the earth. When the guardian used the Earth Power·Healing Aura, a similar Holy Grail appeared."

Mr. Pierre Granger said.

"But that should only be a phantom. It is the resonance of healing power and the origin of the earth, and it shouldn't appear as a physical entity."

Danister frowned and thought:

"But the appearance of this Holy Grail is absolutely inseparable from the power of the earth. Perhaps it is a branch of other earth powers that you haven't recorded. There are many branches of earth power, not only combat ability and healing ability, but it is also normal to have manufacturing ability."

"There is indeed this possibility, but this also means that the Witch Council has found holders of earth power that we don't understand. According to the description of the poem, one of the characteristics of the Chosen One is possessing earth power."

Mr. Pierre said somewhat annoyedly, but Miss Danister didn't care much about this:

"The focus now is to save the earth of the material world. The matter of the Chosen One will be pushed by fate itself. I remember you mentioned that Miss Beiyasi received revelation in a dream? Tell me about the progress of the ritual to save the earth."

Miss Danister's intention was probably to let Xia De see the world and know the crisis Randel Valley was facing. But in fact, Xia De felt quite bored all morning because they were always talking about things he had known for a long time.

But Xia De was not without harvest. At least he knew that the church had already begun to prepare for the "Feast of the Earth Mother." They also didn't know the specific content of this ancient ritual, but they investigated that the most important ritual supplies were the flowers of the four seasons.

At the same time, the church also received news that a major event similar to Eldron Lake would happen tonight, so they also invited Miss Danister to go see it together tonight, but were refused by Miss Danister.

In short, Xia De followed Miss Danister in the Sun Church all morning. It wasn't until noon that the party said goodbye and left. The two professors went to dine alone, while the female warlock followed Xia De to the Abundant Earth Inn.

Xia De ordered lunch and watched the waiter leave before sitting down opposite Miss Danister:

"This lunch is on me, please don't be polite with me."

"It's hard to imagine that this is said by the person who discussed the topic of relief food with me a few hours ago."

Miss Danister joked, and then asked:

"Then I won't be polite. Tell me, what is the urgent matter that you specifically met me in Randel Valley?"

"It's still related to the establishment of the academy."

Xia De's expression became serious:

"Last time we talked in the library, the book recorded that the land where Saint Byron is now located is very likely obtained by the initial founder, Miss Mana Feilian, from the Old God—【Curtain of Eternal Night】. I want to know what kind of bargaining chip Miss Feilian paid to trade with the god."

The female warlock tilted her head and looked at him:

"I said last time, there is no clear record, and what is passed down now are uncertain rumors. I can only tell you that if you want to obtain gifts from the gods, sometimes what you need to pay may be more than what you get. If you came just for this matter, sorry, I can't give you an answer."

"Then is there anyone else who can give me an answer?"

"Of course there is."

Miss Danister said, and Xia De was stunned:

"Is there really?"

"You may have forgotten that our school still has a principal. In fact, the academy library doesn't contain all the books of the academy. Some books belong to the principal's private library. You can think of it as a collection of secret books passed down by past principals, somewhat similar to the private collections left by past library managers. Even I dare not be sure what is in the principal's library."

Xia De thought for a while:

"So..."

"Yes, if the things you want to know can really find an answer in our era, the answer is likely to be with Principal Pigman. I can write to the principal, and he won't be stingy about helping me find the answer. It's only Tuesday today, and you will have the result within this week. You are my student, so I will find some information for you, and you don't have to do anything."

Miss Danister said, and seeing Xia De wanting to thank her, she shook her head again:

"I don't know why you appeared here, but if you encounter trouble, remember to come to me where I live. Since you came earlier than me, you probably also know the local situation. Don't run around recently, I don't want to see you suddenly jump out of the bushes in a duel with high-ring warlocks."

"Actually, there aren't many bushes in this season... I understand."

"After I get the reply sent back by the principal, I will also send the letter here."

She looked toward the upstairs direction:

"If I'm not mistaken, you are living with that Luvia Annat, right?"

Xia De showed an awkward expression. Now Luvia hadn't finished work yet, but she would probably be back soon.

"Speaking of which, there is a Moon-Worshiping Ruin locally. If you are interested, you can go see it. The miracle spirit rune I newly acquired was obtained from here."

So he took the initiative to change the subject, but Miss Danister just nodded, looking not very interested:

"I will go see it after the matter is over. Just be clear about what I showed you this morning. Besides the petrification plague and intermittent earthquakes, the church found traces of Third Era evil spirits and demons appearing locally. In short, Randel Valley is definitely not peaceful. The storm is coming, and it is now the eve of the rainy night. You and that Miss Annat, both be careful."

"It is precisely because I know it is dangerous here, and Luvia is still staying here, so I probably won't go back to Tobesk to wait for her to come back."

The female warlock sitting opposite him shook her head with a smile, and it was unknown what she wanted to express. But in short, before Luvia, who had finished work, was surprised to see Xia De and Miss Danister sitting together, they didn't discuss any sensitive topics again.

Miss Danister left after having lunch with the two, and Luvia still sighed that Xia De actually went directly to find the librarian lady of the academy:

"That Miss Fiona Delage should be very important to you, right?"

When returning to the room to prepare to pack up and go to the Wilde Opera House, Luvia also said to Xia De. Xia De gave the answer:

"Because... I am her fairy godmother."

The purple-eyed girl then asked with a smile:

"What? You finally admit that you are a woman?" ===== CHAPTER 1356 =====
