Chapter 1474: Rune Stone, Holy Grail, and Performance
"This is not sorcery or a spell, this is the divine art of an Ancient God. If so, I think I have a way."
The Guardian said, stopping with Xia De to look at the people holding another funeral in the distance. The sorrowful grief seemed to blend with this fog, but the mourning of the living could not spread to the world on the other side:
"Attach the effect of your spell to an item, so that the item can make all the soil it touches have activity in a relatively short time. I am now the Chosen, inheriting the power from the ancient earth deity, which can let me help you do this. But the item attached with the Ancient God's divine art must be an item related to the power of that Ancient God."
That is to say, the Guardian could "enchant" Xia De's "Active Soil" spell onto another item. In this way, Xia De indeed did not need to come forward, and the spirit would be paid by the user.
"This is simple."
Xia De said, taking out the Earth Rune Stone from his pocket. This was obtained from the relic 【Plague Merchant】 together with Iluna when in Tobesk. Now there was no need to consider purifying the earth, nor to consider sinking into the Heart of the Earth, it could be used for other purposes:
"This rune stone meets the conditions. After we attach the effect of my spell to it, give it to the believers of the God of Sun and Earth. Oh, after the rune stone is used up, tell them to give this to the Balanced Chosen as a gift later."
After all, Xia De was just helping others, not thinking of giving away his own things casually.
The difficulty of attaching the "Active Soil" spell to the rune stone far exceeded Xia De's expectations. This extremely high-level alchemical means was simply not something he could master now, and the enchantment location was the Heart of the Earth, so Xia De had to go underground again, fortunately, the journey was not far.
He endured the stuffy environment underground and worked with the Guardian until three in the afternoon before finally barely finishing the production of the alchemical item. And the originally smooth rune stone, in appearance, only had some small runes on the surface.
This rune stone could apply the "Active Soil" effect to any stone in the next two weeks, making the petrified parts of the body return to normal. As for after two weeks, if there were still a large number of patients needing treatment, then it could only be done once more.
But producing such an ultra-spec alchemical item was not without cost. Although no extra materials were needed, Xia De could see that the Guardian's consumption was quite large. If it weren't for the fact that he was not a human ring mage and had the Heart of the Earth to replenish his power, the Guardian would probably take a long time to recover.
And the produced rune stone still needed someone to send it to the church.
Xia De saw that the Guardian was in a bad state, so he could only send it himself. Of course, he couldn't walk directly into the church and claim that he could treat the petrification plague. Now that Miss Danister had returned to St. Byrons and the witches were unwilling to rashly contact the church again, he could only follow the contact method Luvia left for Iluna, go to the entrance of the Sun and Earth Church, and let the alchemical item "Resonance Stone" bought from Old John vibrate in a three-long-one-short way—this meant, meet at the entrance immediately.
Iluna soon found an excuse to come to the church entrance. Although Xia De was disguised, she saw Xia De at a glance.
Thus, the seventeen-year-old girl pretended to have an emergency and left along the street in a hurry. But a few minutes later, the two met in an empty alley 200 meters away from the church.
"Xia De!"
Iluna waved enthusiastically to greet Xia De, and after asking the reason for Xia De's contact, she took away the rune stone.
Of course, she also told Xia De other news. She would probably return to Tobesk by steam airship tomorrow, that is, Tuesday night. Because this time she was taking a new model jointly developed by the Creation Church and the Kassenrick United Kingdom Industrial Department, the speed was faster, and she should be back in Tobesk by the weekend. "Also, your Holy Grail, actually one is left."
Iluna said happily.
When Xia De parted with Iluna early Saturday morning, to help the Orthodox Church, he gave her two mud Holy Grails. He originally thought they were all used up: "There are very few injured people in the church?"
"No, many, so you
gave two Holy Grails, one of which was used up. After configuring the spirit medicine and diluting the medicinal effect, it was distributed to everyone to suppress the spread of petrification, and the remaining 'Conservation Holy Grail' was left behind, wanting to try to imitate it. After all, not only the ring mages injured in the Battle of Randall Valley needed treatment, but the patients with local petrification plague also needed those spirit medicines. But now with the rune stone, the Holy Grail can be saved. I knew it, you can always solve all problems."
Iluna looked very happy:
"That Holy Grail will be returned to you after I return to Tobesk, just say it was taken away by a witch who visited secretly."
"The remaining one is the Conservation Holy Grail? That's great, the potion produced by this cup can help pregnant women protect the fetus. I originally promised to give it to Sister Daelin." Xia De nodded with a smile, Iluna had other good news:
"The 'Sun Holy Micro of St. Perry' originally used in the church to enhance the church's divine art ritual and resist the crazy earth's invasion, the local diocese decided to give it to me and let me bring it back to Tobesk."
She winked at Xia De, and Xia De understood her meaning:
"That's really great, is it the Randall Valley diocese affirming the contribution you made? Iluna, your strike on Saturday was really beautiful." "Compared to you, it's nothing."
She said quite embarrassedly and waved at Xia De:
"Then see you in Tobesk. After I go back, I will go to your house, call Luvia again, and take stock of this harvest as before. I have many, many things to tell you."
Xia De also had the door of the "Earth Core Furnace" not handled. He planned to wait until Iluna returned to discuss with them where to try to install this door.
After saying goodbye to Iluna, it was already the evening of this Monday. Because the time Miss Bernice invited Xia De to the opera house was nine o'clock in the evening, Xia De, who had nothing to do, returned to Tobesk.
After holding Little Mia to Luvia's apartment, he indeed saw the purple-eyed girl waiting for his dinner invitation.
This was the first night Luvia returned to Tobesk after her business trip. Dorothy and Rhesia left the time to her. Although Luvia didn't say it tonight, Xia De knew she was going to spend the night at St. Derand Square.
"Although the food in the southern valley city is also very good, I still prefer the taste of my hometown."
Xia De booked a seat in advance, and the two sat down at the "Golden October Restaurant" on Silver Cross Avenue. This restaurant was not the most expensive restaurant on this street, but it was definitely the restaurant Xia De felt had the best taste.
Luvia talked about the taste of the long-lost Tobesk meal, while Xia De listened to her with a smile while feeding the cat. After the main course was served, Xia De talked about what he did today, talking about the meeting with Iluna in the evening.
But Luvia noticed another thing:
"Miss Bernice, is she going to perform for you alone at the opera house tonight?"
"Yes, nine o'clock, we can go home and rest for a while after eating, and then I will set off." "Then, are you coming back tonight?"
Xia De used a fork to stab broccoli and asked with some confusion:
"Why not come back? She just let me watch the performance, it shouldn't be too late, right?"
Saying this, he reached out the broccoli used for plating to Mia on the high stool beside him. And the reason Xia De used his own tableware to feed the cat was because he knew the cat didn't like this plant. Sure enough, the squatting cat immediately turned its head, and the angry look was very interesting.
Seeing Xia De's appearance, the purple-eyed girl also showed a smile:
"That's fine, then I will wait for you to come back at home. Although I am not a princess with crystal shoes, I think your bedroom should still be open to me." "Oh, Luvia~"
Xia De knew she was teasing about what happened this morning, while Luvia, while cutting the Ensis veal from the central part of Dralion, said again: "Just teasing, besides, I really miss your bedroom."
She winked at Xia De:
"Although the bed in the Abundant Earth Hotel is also comfortable, I still feel that the feeling by your side is better."
Xia De couldn't stand this kind of talk. He pursed his lips and nodded, lowering his head to cut his steak, thinking in his heart that he would go home as soon as he finished watching the performance.
The laughter of "Her" in his ears almost overlapped with Luvia's chuckle. The purple-eyed girl was never afraid of the prying eyes of other ladies. After all, she understood Xia De.
After having dinner with Luvia, the two walked back to St. Derand Square. Xia De originally thought about putting Mia on the ground and letting her walk by herself, but this cat, who had eaten her fill, preferred to stand on Xia De's shoulder, which was also what usually happened when Xia De "walked the cat."
After returning home and talking to Luvia about the fresh things in Tobesk recently, at eight-thirty, she asked him to set off early and not delay the "date" time. Of course, Mia was left at home. This was not only because the lazy cat didn't want to go out, but also because of Luvia's request.
Thus, when Xia De arrived at the entrance of the Wang Erde Opera House, it was only eight-forty-five. The opera house was open as usual tonight, and it seemed that the once-in-a-millennium big earthquake that had just happened did not affect the opera house's business at all.
The brightly lit building could be called the most eye-catching existence even in the center of Randall Valley. The carriages parked from the entrance of the opera house to the street corner showed the enthusiasm of the audience.
Although the previous opera had not ended, the girls of the Wang Erde Opera House all knew Xia De, so no one stopped him from entering the opera house.
Unfortunately, Xia De came a bit too early. Although he saw Hillis in the third-floor office, the blonde girl told Xia De that Miss Bernice was still putting on makeup and let him wait patiently in the audience seat of the performance hall downstairs first. ===== CHAPTER 1475 =====
