Chapter 1599
Xia De asked Yiluna, who was sitting outside the desk, very seriously:
"The matter on Green Lake's central island was a bit unexpected; not only did a thirteen-ring warlock appear, but that fog hindered the use of most long-range miracles. You also know that my most commonly used miracle is the long-range attack-type Silver Moon Slash. But if, like your miracle, it could achieve large-scale attacks, then even if I can't see in the fog, it can form an effective deterrent, and I wouldn't even need to aim. My promotion speed is too fast, and I have indeed lacked large-scale attack abilities and means to deal with giant enemies."
While speaking, he also gestured.
Yiluna sat opposite the desk and listened to Xia De's request; she was very happy that Xia De came to her for help:
"For you, that's actually very simple. The entire spellcasting process I summarized contains three key points:
First, you must be able to achieve precise control over the release of spirit and energy, otherwise, once the huge energy is unconstrained, it will lead to very serious consequences. In the first few months of this year, I used empty bottle fruits to constantly practice controlling the power of the sun in my hands, which improved my precise control skills. You should also have no problem; since you can develop the basic 'Moonlight Slash' into so many forms, it shows that your control over moonlight energy is stronger than most people."
Xia De nodded:
"Then what are the other two points?"
"Second, you must have enough massive spirit to support spellcasting. There is no need to explain this point; giant energy attacks mean more consumption. But you and I both belong to the kind of people whose upper limit of spirit is naturally higher than ordinary ring warlocks, so there is no need to consider this point."
Xia De nodded; now that he had been promoted to the sixth ring, although his capacity for spirit was not as exaggerated as his stamina, it was not necessarily less than Yiluna's, who was in the seventh ring.
"The last point, whether it is fireballs, wind blades, light beams, or energy balls, ring warlocks all have some means of energy release to a greater or lesser extent. But if you want to make them giant, you have to go through various different methods. My way is to perceive the majestic power of the earth; when I was standing upside down on the ground, as if I were lifting the earth, I understood how to use my hands to bear more powerful forces."
She stretched out her hand, and Xia De held it very naturally. Yiluna's face flushed, and then she controlled her hand to glow; actually, this was useless, she just wanted Xia De to think that holding her hand could perceive something:
"You have also felt those greater powers, and your understanding of the earth is no weaker than mine. What you lack is just trial and a moment of insight, just like you have developed 'Moonlight Slash' into new forms several times."
Of course, she did not forget to remind him:
"If you want to practice, don't do it at home. It's fine if you fail, but once you succeed, your roof will be gone."
"I understand this."
Xia De nodded with a smile:
"Perceiving the majestic power of the earth... standing upside down and lifting the earth... maybe I can ask the Guardian for help."
"This is just my method, it may not be suitable for everyone."
Yiluna reminded him, and then gave her own suggestion:
"You might as well look at the moon at night more and feel the weight of the moon in the night sky. The power of the sun and the earth are opposite but can transform into each other, so it is suitable for me. Xia De, you should look at the moon more."
This was indeed a very useful suggestion, but it also meant that it required a long time to learn and perceive.
Seeing Xia De in a thoughtful mood, Yiluna did not immediately let go of the hand she was holding with Xia De, but asked:
"Today is Wednesday, how do you plan to spend it?"
"Originally I wanted to go to the Green Lake area to investigate the progress of the meeting, and by the way, track down the whereabouts of a group of grave robbers. But yesterday I met the 【Mirror-Hiding Man】 and got new information from the pharmacist lady, so I want to talk to Miss Galina."
"Let's go together."
Yiluna said with a smile:
"It just so happens that I asked for a morning off, and I also have to give Miss Galina the reading report she asked me to write. Do you know where she is now? Yodel Palace? Or in her manor?"
"I don't know, but I can go ask."
After tidying up at home and leaving Little Mia, who was full and didn't want to move, to look after the house, Xia De and Yiluna went to the flower shop on Silver Cross Avenue together. He entrusted the maid of Princess Ajelina in the flower shop to help see if Miss Galina was in Yodel Palace this morning, and then at ten o'clock, Xia De and Yiluna boarded an unmarked carriage at the entrance of the flower shop together, and met Miss Galina and Tifa in the carriage.
"It's rare to see you two appear together."
The red-haired duchess joked, the carriage drove forward slowly, Yiluna first handed over her reading report, Miss Galina flipped through a few pages, and then handed it to Tifa to put away first.
"It's just that there happens to be an important matter to discuss, regarding the Green Lake area. Yesterday, I boarded the central island with the pharmacist lady again, and then encountered some accidents."
Xia De recounted the entire experience on the island yesterday, and when hearing the news of the two thirteen-ring warlocks, the witch's expression also became serious. After Xia De finished speaking, she asked with concern:
"Are you okay? I didn't expect that you would directly encounter the Mirror-Hiding Man; if I had known earlier, I would have..."
"No, you still follow the original plan to go to the Green Lake area, there is no need to go early. I will handle these things."
Xia De shook his head to stop her words:
"The key now is that the matter of the Edwards family has only just uncovered a corner, and it has already involved two thirteen-ring warlocks, one of whom is even a thirteen-ring diviner. I bet that the other party is likely still existing in some way. This shows that the danger level this time will not be weaker than any previous time."
"The more you say that, the more worried I am. Why not let Tifa take people to Green Lake first? She will hold a ceremony to be promoted to the eighth rank this week, and with the blessing given by Miss Feilianna, she can be promoted to the next rank at any time; her power is much stronger than your pharmacist lady."
Even when talking about serious matters, she did not forget to step on her colleagues in the council.
"In that case, why don't I apply to go to Green Lake now."
Yiluna also said; although Xia De spoke lightly, they both knew how dangerous it was for Xia De to face the 【Mirror-Hiding Man】.
"Tifa is going to be eighth rank? Oh, congratulations."
Xia De said to Tifa with a smile, and the black-haired maid nodded reservedly, also showing a smile at him.
"But no need, Yiluna, Galina, you don't have to worry about me. If it's really dangerous, I can actually use the lock to come back directly. Although that island hinders spatial power, it cannot hinder me. Galina, I hope you can inform the council that the danger in the Green Lake area is just like Yiluna will inform the church. Since the guy hiding in the dark wants to act secretly, let everyone know of his existence."
The witch nodded:
"Although this will make people focus their attention on Green Lake in advance, it is more dangerous for the guys hiding in the dark. No problem, that thirteen-ring diviner from two hundred years ago is indeed worth our vigilance."
"I also have another question. The pharmacist lady told me that her name is Megan, not Audrey."
Xia De said again, and this time it was Tifa who gave the answer:
"The great witch of knowledge and wisdom often uses the alias Megan. The few letters and some packages she sent to Miss were also signed with the name Megan Edwards."
"But judging from the situation at the time, what she said didn't sound like a fake name... I have some guesses about this witch, but I still need to verify them."
"The witch's affairs can be put aside for now, we are more worried about you. Thirteen rings is not a joke; unless you take out the power you had in every final battle, you can't beat any thirteen-ring warlock now."
Yiluna was still worried, and the witch held Xia De's hand and placed it on his knee:
"Yiluna, Xia De knows what he is doing. Since he let us rest assured, we will rest assured."
"The matter of the Mirror-Hiding Man cannot be left alone, let the local church entangle with him first. It would be better if the church could drive him away or even catch him; if not... half of the members of the Witch Council, plus me, Yiluna, and Sister Daifulin, I don't believe that even if he is thirteen rings, he can still have the upper hand without opening the sublimation language. We cannot leave him to the final battle; although I don't even know what we are going to be enemies with this time, we cannot let a thirteen-ring warlock participate too much."
The witch and the seventeen-year-old girl both nodded:
"That's good, let's gather in Green Lake, be careful yourself before then."
Xia De was actually thinking about whether to call Dr. Doctor Doctor Shi Nai De, but then felt it was unnecessary. However, he could call Miss Danister; the "Red Moon Witch" would not be stingy about participating in this matter. Xia De just had to consider how to explain his relationship with so many female warlocks.
In the past, his own strength was not enough, and every major event could only be carried out secretly. But now he has also reached the sixth ring, and there are more and more trustworthy people around him, so he can consider being a little more high-profile.
"Also, where will the 【Wandering Universal · Space】 of this era be... the Traveler Association? Or, the Winter Choir?"
Wandering Universal was still a bit far away after all, but Xia De had many things in his hands.
Yiluna was left behind by Miss Galina to talk to her about her studies, and Xia De was sent back to St. Deran Square by carriage, and then he went to the Randall River Valley.
Since seeing off Dr. Doctor Doctor Shi Nai De in the Randall River Valley and then going home sick, Xia De had not set foot on this land again. It had been more than a month, and now that he thought about it, he missed it a little.
When he walked out of the basement of the Forgotten Church, he found that the building behind the collapsed church had been repaired, and most of the rooms already had traces of being used.
When he arrived at the main hall of the church, he saw oil paintings hanging on the walls, the pulpit was full of bouquets, and even the rows of long seats were decorated with ribbons. The holy emblem of the 【Old Man of Oblivion】 was shining on the wall, and the rust on the church door had been cleaned up. The windows that were originally nailed with wooden boards were all opened, allowing the warm spring breeze to blow in. A red carpet was laid between the benches, and even the ceiling, which was originally covered with stains, was repainted with religious oil paintings.
Of course, the hole in the roof still existed, but it had perfectly integrated with the atmosphere of the church:
"Looks not bad."
He originally thought there would be no one in the church, but when he walked out of the church door, he saw two girls cleaning in the church courtyard. Xia De recognized that they were the two girls in charge of stage management for the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】, so he greeted them with a smile.
The female warlocks naturally knew Xia De, and then told Xia De that the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】 had left the local area and gone to other places to perform.
Miss Bernice and Siris, who were the head and deputy head of the opera troupe, naturally left the local area with the troupe. And the opera troupe also left a small number of people to operate the Wilde Opera House and maintain this church.
And when Xia De asked where the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe was now, the two young girls said to him with a smile:
"Originally Miss Lathers planned to go to Tobesk, and we haven't performed in the northern pearl of Delarion for many years. But later Willendale sent an invitation, so the opera troupe accepted the reward and went to the Green Lake area, preparing to show the northerners our cultural and artistic level."
In this way, Xia De would soon be able to reunite with the witch of the earth and Siris.
In the courtyard of the Forgotten Church, under the oak tree that had already grown green leaves, Xia De called the name of the Guardian. After waiting for a moment, the soil in front of him squirmed and rose, and then the soil was molded into the shape of a human, and the Chosen One of the Earth came before him.
A month later, the Guardian naturally had no changes. He appeared in the image of Mr. Lathers this time, and after silently listening to Xia De finish talking about Green Lake, the Mirror Association, and the thirteen-ring diviner, he nodded:
"No problem, I will tell the Orthodox Church about this tomorrow morning. The earth has given me revelation, the crisis in Green Lake must be stopped."
"There is one more thing, do you remember Yiluna Beias? That is the girl who uses Earth Power · Earth Energy Cannon. I intend to learn and master the ability to release giant energy, but I don't have many ideas yet."
Regarding the second help Xia De sought, the Guardian under the tree thought silently for a while:
"Unlike the Chosen One of Balance, listening to and perceiving the earth is of course possible for you, but the best way is still to perceive the moon. Especially... the lunar eclipse around the end of this month."
The Guardian masters the power of the earth and can predict all natural phenomena on the ground in advance. As for the starry sky, although he cannot keenly know all changes, he certainly cannot be unaware of such an important thing as a lunar eclipse. After all, even without the identity of a Guardian and a Chosen One, he is still a thirteen-ring warlock close to a demigod:
"Xia De Hamilton, this lunar eclipse is very important to you."
