Chapter 1468: Shattering and Visiting
"Even if the distortion has disappeared, the scars still exist. What is lost cannot be made up for. The clean earth will one day have distortion again. Since that feast, the earth has officially entered a turbulent period. In the future, earthquakes will occur more frequently than ever before. Moreover, in all parts of the world, there is a probability of 'Mad Earth' and resurrected fossil creatures appearing, but the intensity is not as strong as in Randall Valley, and they can all be eliminated by ordinary means."
This counts as a "sequela", but it also means that the earth's distortion has only been healed once, and there is still the possibility of "recurrence". This is not because Xia De did not handle this matter well; the earth's distortion is related to the changes in the world itself. Unless he can directly change the world and end the "final doomsday" that is not yet known when it will come, no matter how much planning he does, it is useless.
The magma was gurgling in his ears. The non-human Guardian might be very used to this environment, but Xia De was already a bit hot. The firelight reflected his slightly frowning face:
"Since there is a possibility of Mad Earth and fossil creatures appearing in other regions, should such creatures appear more frequently in the Randall Valley area?"
Xia De asked, and the Guardian nodded:
"The local church can handle these problems, and I will also help, but it is no longer the same as in the past." Xia De was not surprised at all by this point. After all, it was like this every time.
Coldwater Port has been invaded by mermen to this day, evil spirits wander in the Sikall Mountains, and the power remaining from the Pantanal evil things causes strange plant-like monsters to appear in the Great Swamp from time to time. Now, the fossil creatures and fallen giant spirits in the Randall Valley area are nothing compared to this, and can even give Xia De more opportunities to practice spellcasting ability and swordsmanship.
Moreover, an increase in monsters also means an increase in the probability of special materials and precious herbs, and things always have two sides.
"Such a result is better than the earth being polluted as a whole. This can already be considered the best result we can get."
Xia De was quite satisfied with this. He reached out to the Guardian:
"Although this topic has been mentioned formally before, are you willing to form an alliance with us?" "Who are the allies?"
The Guardian asked.
"Me, Miss Luvia Anate, the Chosen One of Balance - Yi Yi Lu Na Miss Beiyasi, and the Chosen One of Death - Sister Daelin. By the way, the Chosen One of Darkness and the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom were both solved by me."
He thought there was no need to tell the spirit in front of him what was sealed in 【Ekonora - Arrow of the Chosen One】.
Yi Yi Lu Na and the nun who didn't speak on the side both nodded slightly toward this Chosen One of the Earth, which also showed that Xia De could speak on their behalf.
"Becoming your ally, what exactly do I need to do?" The spirit asked calmly.
"Sometimes your help may be needed, but most importantly, when the thirteen pages of the Chosen One's story come to an end and the legendary 'door' appears, I hope that no matter what happens after pushing the door, you can listen to my arrangement, or Luvia's arrangement. Of course, we guarantee not to harm the earth, you know me."
Xia De said, and the Destiny Rings behind Yi Yi Lu Na and Sister Daelin appeared at the same time. Then the two Destiny Rings turned into dark golden scales and a scythe respectively.
The Guardian's thirteen rings also appeared behind him, and then in the light, the Destiny Ring turned into a dark golden Holy Grail. The style of the Holy Grail was exactly the same as the earthen Holy Grail of the past.
He did not hesitate:
"All my understanding of the Whispering Poem comes from you and the church. But the Spirit of the Earth gave me inspiration, helping you will definitely not be wrong."
He reached out and shook hands with Xia De:
"I think there is no problem. I am happy to help you, just as you once helped me."
Although the Guardian was a spiritual body, Xia De could perceive the touch. And after shaking hands, although there was no clear contract, Xia De knew that the cooperative relationship between the two sides had been established, so he showed a smile. Both sides were people who valued promises very much:
"I heard from Yi Yi Lu Na that you cannot leave the Randall Valley area?"
"Yes, although it is not completely impossible to leave, but unless necessary, I must...
... guard here, and I cannot even easily let my main body appear on the ground."
The Guardian did not hide this point. The damage to the Heart of the Earth was more serious than Xia De thought:
"Although everything seems to be over, in fact, everything has just begun. Although the prelude to the doomsday was avoided, a series of other things will follow. I am both the Guardian of the Earth and the Chosen One of the Earth. When I need to take action, I will definitely appear."
"I understand. Then come with us to see Miss Luvia Anate. In fact, among us, she is the core figure all along. Although it is inappropriate to say so, I am more like the person who executes the task. Regarding our cooperation, Luvia can talk to you in detail."
Xia De issued an invitation, and the Guardian asked his question calmly:
"I learned of your power on the night of the feast, so please allow me to ask you: why do you obey her arrangements?"
"This probably is like... a formal game, there should always be a host, right?"
Xia De didn't know what the hundreds of thoughts of the other party thought of at this moment, but the Guardian didn't continue to dwell on this topic:
"In addition, I have talked with Miss Miss Beiyasi, and heard that you care very much about those spaces left by the ancient gods?" "Yes."
Xia De raised his eyebrows, so the Guardian handed him a square, polished stone. Except for not carving points, this was almost a pitch-black die.
"I used the power of the Chosen One to make a door. Throwing this stone at the location where the 'Geothermal Furnace' door is placed can permanently solidify this door."
"This is really great, even the ritual is saved."
And the so-called "meeting the conditions" means that the location of the solidified door is below the horizon, has enough geothermal heat, is itself a gathering point of spirits in the earth, and the location where the door is set has never been polluted by any power.
The above are the basic conditions. In addition, it needs to meet the requirements of mysticism in terms of orientation, space, and other conditions. And even if these conditions are met, there is a certain possibility that the door cannot be placed, which belongs to the problem of luck.
Xia De didn't know if his basement met the conditions, but he planned to wait for Yi Yi Lu Na to return to Tobesk and try it together. After all, throwing a stone was not a very laborious thing.
Thus, under the arrangement of the Guardian, the three touched the stone pillar standing in the center of the Heart of the Earth together.
As a piece of white light flashed before his eyes, the dark red magma light in his field of vision disappeared. When they could see the scene around them clearly, they had already arrived at the snow-covered courtyard of Benanis Manor. And this kind of movement using the power of the earth also belongs to the convenience brought by the dual identity of "Guardian" and "Chosen One".
Because Xia De had said in advance that he might invite the Guardian to be a guest at the manor, the girls in the manor were not surprised by the appearance of the Guardian.
The spiritual body does not need to eat, so there is no need to invite the Guardian to stay for dinner in the evening. Xia De took the three Chosen Ones to find Luvia in the study on the third floor, and then let them talk to Luvia. Regarding the Whispering Poem, Luvia knew far more than Xia De, and she would handle the relationship between the Chosen Ones well.
As for Xia De, he went to inform Tifa, who was left in the manor, about the Guardian. Although Xia De didn't say it clearly, the witches obviously wouldn't give up this opportunity to contact the "Chosen One of the Earth". In this way, the harvest obtained by the council's action this time was not just to make the Five God Churches look at them with admiration.
Even in the eyes of the witches, the soul aggregate composed of hundreds of noble souls was still regarded as male, which would trigger the witch's curse, so the relationship between the council and the Guardian could not be like that with Sister Daelin. But at least contacting him could also establish a basic friendship.
Xia De did not participate in the conversation between the Chosen Ones and Luvia, not because he wanted to hide and be lazy, but because there was another "date" waiting for him to attend tonight.
Miss Dannister must have been very busy these two days, but even so, she definitely wouldn't forget the matter of meeting Xia De.
And although Xia De was at...
... the dining table at noon, and expressed it very easily in front of the witches, as if he could explain it, but in fact, when he was about to set off, he was still a bit uneasy in his heart. So he specially brought Mia, hoping that this cat could ease the atmosphere.
The meeting place was the manor where the professors of St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy lived locally. Because the journey was not close, Xia De took a carriage. Just when he left Benanis Manor, Tifa chased after him from behind and handed Xia De a red slender gift box with exquisite packaging and a butterfly knot:
"Visiting your teacher, you didn't even bring a gift?"
The black-haired maid asked with a smile in the snow, and added when Xia De wanted to thank her:
"This was prepared by the lady in advance. She guessed that you wouldn't think of this point. Also, the lady doesn't need your thanks."
While Xia De showed a bewildered expression, she urged Xia De not to be late, and then sent Xia De to the manor gate, watching Xia De take the carriage away.
Xia De deliberately avoided dinner time and arrived at the professors' residence after dinner.
When he met Miss Dannister with the gift, the red-haired female sorcerer was talking to the elf girl in the study. The fire in the fireplace in the study was jumping, making people feel happy. The pure white little beast was lying steadily on the carpet in front of the fireplace. The firelight illuminated the white hair, and the posture was exactly the same as Little Mia in winter.
But the unicorn's comfortable mood was soon interrupted by the cat's meow. ===== CHAPTER 1469 =====
