Chapter 1970
The silver piece in Iluna's hand was the material from the damaged part of the eye mask that could not be used when Sister Daifulin borrowed Xia De's piece of mithril to repair the damaged eye mask after the Battle of Randall Valley. She specifically asked the nun for it, and Sister Daifulin did not ask her the reason.
【Your call echoed in 6 St. Deran Square, and special scenes pull special forces.】
【What are you going to do to use this fragment?】
【1. Bury it in the soil of the basement; perhaps a Fire Protector will grow out.】
【2. Take it into the third-floor corridor, which is filled with the ominous aura of death; perhaps it can call back the dead.】
【3. Throw it into the fireplace of Room 1 on the second floor; perhaps the rekindled flame can call the nun close to the flame.】
【4. Take it to the first floor; perhaps try your luck and win a chance to call a miracle from the casino.】
【5. I have other ideas.】
Iluna frowned deeply. She didn't think it was useful to choose other ways this time, and the first four ways, in her view, were feasible.
"Basement, first floor, second floor, third floor..."
When she was thinking about betting on her luck according to her inspiration, Sparrow Hamilton, who was standing in front of the stairs with a cane, suddenly spoke:
"Fire, ignited from the fire."
Iluna turned and glanced at him, but the latter looked as if he hadn't spoken.
So the eighteen-year-old girl made a choice:
"I want to light the fireplace on the second floor and throw this fragment into it."
【You threw the ancient mithril fragment into the fire. In the explosive flame, the nun figure with her head down walked out of the fire.】
【You don't know her, but it doesn't matter, because the fire has been ignited because of you, and the Fire Protector nun has given you the qualification.】
The crackling sound of the fire reached Iluna's ears, followed by a loud bang in the foyer. In the surging flames, a nun wearing a grey robe, with grey-white hair and a mithril eye mask on her face, walked over.
Her appearance was not Sister Daifulin, nor anyone Iluna knew, just as calm and silent as Sister Daifulin. Iluna didn't even think the other party was human, because every time the nun walked, rustling ashes would fall to the floor.
"Meow~"
Little Mia, who was watching this scene from above, became more and more unhappy, and while Iluna was worried that she would have to clean up later, she suddenly thought of how to address the other party:
"Unkindled Ember."
"After the Fire Protector nun passes away, the body is ignited by the First Fire as firewood, and the soul returns to where the soul belongs."
The nun said, and Iluna understood completely:
"So, you came from the fire, a collection of the ashes of the bodies of all the dead Fire Protector nuns in the past?"
The grey-haired nun nodded gently, and Iluna looked at the four "people" around her, and finally took out the 【Ye Zi of Eternal Youth】 that Xia De gave her.
The Battle of Green Lake this time was so dangerous, but she didn't use this leaf to recover herself.
After getting inspiration from Xia De's purification of the time curse on Envy Edwards, she already knew how to satisfy the final condition:
"Archangel of Wisdom, you said last time that besides enlightenment of wisdom and guidance of fate, I also need to choose at least two from three options to help me. So, is it actually better if all three are satisfied?"
She asked the lady in white robes, barefoot and holding a cane, who smiled and nodded.
"Guardian of the End, Fire Protector, I have already found them. Now, only the 'Guardian of Time and Space' is left."
She certainly knew that relying on herself alone, it was impossible to attract the attention of the 【Father of the Infinite Tree】 through a leaf, and she was not Xia De Hamilton. But fortunately, she was playing a game, and this was not something that happened in reality:
"Next, I want to pray to the Tree Father through the 【Ye Zi of Eternal Youth】 and praise the Tree Father, asking the Tree Father to give me guidance on how to save the hero in my heart."
After saying this, she glanced at "Hypothetical":
"If such a call doesn't work, then I will go to the local Dawn Church, dig out the thing under the statue, and then let that Unknown-level relic completely lose control. Anyway, it's playing a game, so let's play bigger. Even if time really collapses because of this, it won't affect reality."
The blonde man in the white robe nodded gently.
【You prayed to the ancient god of time with the Ye Zi of Eternal Youth;】
【Your prayer was not answered;】
【Your prayer was not answered;】
After ninety-nine repetitions of the words—
【Your prayer was answered. Source-less white fog dispersed around you, and the existence at the other end of the long river of time cast a gaze at you.】
This time, only a little white fog filled the foyer, which now seemed a bit narrow, and no person with a specific image or anything else appeared.
But Iluna really felt a gaze like a materialized look cast at her, and at the same time noticed that the leaf in her hand turned into emerald green light spots and disappeared.
She didn't dare to complain about why a game would consume items in reality, but honestly said:
"Praise the Father of the Infinite Tree!"
Then, she stated her ultimate goal:
"Angel of Wisdom, Guide of Fate, Guardian of Time and Space, Fire Protector, please tell me the answer, tell me how to help and save Xia De Suren Hamilton."
【You asked the guardians you summoned a question, and the guardians told you that this is not without cost.】
"I am willing to pay the price."
Iluna said without hesitation to the man standing outside the threshold:
"If there is no price for this, it would feel wrong."
"Meow~"
A weak cat meow came from the stairs above, and then the cat actually jumped down from upstairs, squatting on the last step watching this scene.
【The foreign guest sits under the stage enjoying the opera of the world, but delusionally tries to change the ending of the story with her own power.】
【Arrogant outsider, greedily wanting to see the best story, but not knowing that climbing onto the stage, although it gives him a chance to change other people's fate, is destined to make him the biggest tragedy.】
【Chosen One of Balance, chosen savior, you were originally the most shining person under the spotlight. The price paid is just to answer one question for us.】
This was no longer describing Iluna's behavior. "Hypothetical," who was looking at the parchment roll, raised his head from behind the parchment:
"Do you really like Xia De Suren Hamilton that much?"
"Yes, you have already asked this question once."
The girl with brown long hair had eyes that seemed to be glowing:
"Yes, so I want to save him, and only I can do this. To him, I am unique."
"Then protagonist, as you wish."
"Hypothetical" took a step forward. This time he stepped into the foyer of 6 St. Deran Square. The nun, the Grey-Headed Eagle, and the Archangel of Wisdom also took a step closer to her, and the fog dispersing in the foyer seemed thicker.
【The guardians allow you to know the method to influence the ending, but what you can get are only obscure hints and secret words.】
Golden light marks slowly outlined letters in front of Iluna's eyes. She didn't dare to blink, preparing to record all the information.
【The Fire Protector nun responded to your fiery soul, and she spoke the first secret word—】
"First, something incomplete: something from before the beginning of the world needs to be completed."
Iluna frowned slightly; she felt she knew what the other party was talking about.
【The Gatekeeper of the End, quite satisfied with the heir's respect for him, spoke the second secret word—】
"Second, powerful strength: if you want to change other people's fate, chosen hero, you must be strong enough yourself. The thirteenth ring is not the end; you must continue to move forward."
Iluna understood that this was asking her to at least become a demigod, but she felt that the "heir" definitely didn't refer to herself, but to Xia De. But in this way, the Grey-Headed Eagle in front of her...
【The Guardian of Time and Space left a gift for the outsider who connected the broken time and space. He spoke the third secret word—】
"Third, resurrection: resurrect something that has already died. Don't cast your eyes into the distance; it is right beside you."
Iluna was the only one who didn't know what this referred to, but fortunately she still had time to look for it.
【The Archangel of Wisdom is willing to leave a test of wisdom for you again. In the white feathers, you read the fourth secret word—】
"Fourth, the thing of origin: thirteenth tier, thirteenth ring, thirteen is the foundation of everything, thirteen is the long ladder for the outsider to ascend to godhood. In the flipping impermanent fate, there is the original story and origin of the world. Find them, collect them."
Iluna was a little surprised, not because she couldn't understand it again, but because she understood it all at once this time.
【And the guide of fate, the bard who opened the game for you, he gave you the simplest riddle, but this will also be the most difficult test. Thus, you obtained the fifth riddle—】
Iluna held her breath, and the blonde man in the white robe said to Iluna with a smile:
"Fifth, love: make the outsider fall in love with you. Need the most fiery feelings, the most sincere emotions, the most unforgettable connection between heart and heart."
Iluna's face turned red. This was indeed the most difficult task, but she believed she could do it.
"First, find something from before the beginning of the world to complete it. Nun, you are talking about the First Fire, right? Second, I need to become stronger. Yes, I know, becoming stronger can allow me to do more things, instead of uselessly saying 'I can't do anything'; Third, resurrect dead things... temporarily unclear, this is the difficult point; Fourth, thirteen Tarot cards of Impermanence. Although this task is very simple and Xia De can complete it himself, I still don't understand what the Tarot cards of Impermanence are until now; Fifth, let Xia De love..."
She pursed her lips, embarrassed to continue, so she summarized:
"Fire, strength, resurrection, cards, love. If I didn't misunderstand, these are the secret words you gave me."
