Chapter 2356: [Truth Crystal] and [Holy White Hall]

But Xia De didn't want to do this. The story of the past had already ended, and he didn't need to explore whether the two were happy in their marriage, whether they were urged to have children early, or whether there would be marital conflicts after the fairy tale "The Prince and Princess Lived Happily Ever After" ended.

"But since this was mentioned, I did remember one thing."

Audrey, who also appeared in the restaurant during Xia De's story, said. As for whether it was Megan or Audrey, Xia De couldn't distinguish them at all just by his eyes; the twin witches were theoretically one person:

"Do you know, Xia De, there is a saying that the 【Lady of Mist】, that is, the God of Mist, has a significant connection with the Old God 【Silver Moon Sage】. The scale of this lady's sect is not large, and once she appears in the material world since the ancient era, she must appear in the thick fog under the moonlit night."

"So, it is unreasonable for this deity to appear in such a hot desert."

Luvia summarized, looking at Xia De with a smile:

"She couldn't be waiting for you specifically, could she?"

"Oh, Luvia, have awe for the deities."

The outsider said to the local girl, and the girl with purple eyes nodded with a smile on her face, just looking like she still wanted to tease Xia De.

"In short, this trip of Xia De's time travel really gained a lot. It's just a pity that he can't unfold his brand-new mystery lock now, otherwise everyone could return to eighteen."

Miss Aurora said with a smile, and all the ladies laughed.

Xia De continued to eat breakfast, Luvia and Miss Belindell went to check the glowing box and armor, and Miss Aurora and Audrey sat at the table and studied Miss Knight's knight sword.

This longsword, which changed due to the "birth" of a witch, if it weren't Xia De's souvenir, they would have wanted to collect it into the 【Witch Council】 no matter what:

"This is the second hero Xia De has witnessed drawing a sword. Yes, Miss Knight is enough to be called a hero; it's a pity she is not in the modern era, otherwise I really want to see her."

Xia De was not idle while eating. This of course did not mean he was feeding the cat or reading the newspaper, but accepting the knowledge and power in the two 【Youthful Ye Zi】.

One leaf represented the information of 【Holy White Hall】, and one represented the miracle "Truth Crystal" corresponding to 【Prejudice】. Xia De swallowed the bread in his mouth, picked up a leaf at random, and placed it in front of his right eye.

Thus, the golden flowing light flowed along the leaf veins on the surface of the emerald green leaf until it dyed Xia De's entire right eye gold.

After a while, Xia De put down the leaf. The first leaf was the miracle:

"I have obtained a new miracle; who wants to try the effect?"

He asked the girls, and while they looked over curiously, he extended his right hand with his palm upward. Some imperceptible flowing light gathered above his palm until it condensed into a translucent white crystal.

Although "Edge of Life and Death" had been closed, the glowing fog that appeared because of it had not disappeared. The room was lit with gas lamps, and even in this environment, the witches and Luvia could observe that the crystal itself was glowing slightly.

"What effect?"

Luvia asked curiously.

"Miracle - Truth Crystal. The effect is only one: reveal the hidden truth. Of course, this doesn't let me know the truth of a certain question directly, but after activating the crystal, it cracks the illusions, invisibility spells, and partial transformation spells within a certain range around it, making them return to their original appearance.

It is not yet known whether it is effective for the kind of 'hidden passage' in the basement of the house... oh, the effect of this miracle is extremely powerful. If I want, I can even let all the makeup on your faces be washed away by the effect of the crystal, or let all the clothing states within a certain range become transparent. Of course, these two effects can be activated selectively."

Luvia, who originally wanted to walk to this side, stopped immediately:

"You'd better never use these two effects... making clothes transparent is not a big problem, but if you wash away the makeup on the girls' faces without permission, you will definitely be taught a lesson."

"Luvia, did you say it backward?"

The girl with purple eyes smiled without saying a word, and the witches also continued to do their own things; no one wanted to try the white transparent crystal floating in Xia De's hand.

Xia De shook his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the crystal in his hand. With the injection of spirit, this crystal began to rotate slowly and emitted brighter light.

The initial state of the "Truth Crystal" covered a range of about 1m around itself, and continuous injection of spirit could expand the range. As for the current limit, because this was Belindell Manor, Xia De didn't know how many illusions were running here; whether out of caution or politeness, he couldn't use this kind of range-based ability casually.

However, the white crystal rotating in his hand attracted Little Mia, who had rubbed another breakfast on the side.

This cat always had considerable curiosity in safe occasions.

Xia De was an absolutely safe existence for it, so even though it didn't know what the glowing thing was, it still approached quickly. After Xia De placed his hand on the table, it quite unceremoniously stepped on Xia De's palm with its front paws, poked its head out to sniff the thing, and after discovering there was no smell, it turned back to its second breakfast and continued to eat.

"【Truth Crystal】 has no reaction to Little Mia; it seems there is no disguise on it."

【What are you expecting?】

"Nothing!"

"She" smiled gently, and Xia De stopped thinking about this topic, throwing the crystal onto the table.

【Truth Crystal】 was actually very similar to "spiritual weapons" like the Moonlight Greatsword and the Chain of Sin, but its effect was neither lethal nor binding. Therefore, the crystal produced by spellcasting was not an illusion, but a real semi-solid, and could even exist independently away from Xia De.

As long as Xia De wanted and had enough spirit in his body, the number of crystals he could create was almost unlimited. But as the time the crystal left him became longer and the crystal itself continued to exert its effect, the Truth Crystal actually could not exist independently for a long time.

In other words, if Xia De left this crystal on the table and ignored it, although it would probably disappear in an hour or two, all the illusions, invisibility spells, and partial transformation spells on everyone passing by here during this period would be cracked.

"Try the illusion-breaking ability... ladies, who wants to release an illusion?"

He asked again, and Miss Aurora, who was checking the knight sword with Megan at the other end of the table, raised her hand, and a ray of light appeared.

In the light, a cat that was almost completely transparent ran quickly and elegantly along the long dining table toward Xia De and Little Mia. As it ran, its body constantly solidified until it turned into the appearance of a real orange cat.

"Meow~"

Little Mia immediately raised its head and "roared," but seeing that cat melt into the air as it ran, it looked left and right suspiciously, and after confirming there were no other cats, it didn't even eat the food, but paced to Xia De's side and lay down.

Xia De smiled and stroked its back, then reached a conclusion:

"Truth Crystal not only consumes spirit to expand the effective range, but also consumes spirit if it senses the existence of illusions, invisibility spells, or transformation spells and wants to interfere with or even crack these effects... the consumption is not small, but it is still a very good miracle."

Xia De even felt that this brand-new miracle could be ranked among the best in terms of usefulness among his auxiliary miracles.

Seeing Luvia and the countess still excitedly using divination cards to divine the box, Xia De picked up the other leaf again. After placing the leaf in front of his right eye, he frowned:

"【Holy White Hall】's effect is actually like this?"

Luvia reminded Xia De not to tell the information about those spaces left by the Old Gods if it wasn't absolutely necessary, so he didn't call Luvia to discuss this topic now.

"A piece of real information - Holy White Hall" contained how to use a ritual to summon a one-time door, and also contained how to use the power of the Chosen One to permanently obtain a door.

But more importantly, the effect of 【Holy White Hall】 was that although it was called a hall, its interior was more like a church. Those who entered would see the holy emblems of all the deities they had come into contact with, and by touching these holy emblems, they could obtain various short-term blessing effects.

The so-called "deities contacted" must at least have been watched by that deity, and whether it was a departed deity or an existing deity, it was fine. The specific effects obtained through the holy emblems in the hall depended on the power of the deity corresponding to the holy emblem, as well as the relationship between the ring warlock entering the hall and that deity.

The deeper the relationship—regardless of good or bad—the stronger the special effect obtained, which meant that the favorability could be "friendly" or "hateful," but it could not be simply "indifferent."

"This is quite interesting; after all, there shouldn't be many people in this era who have contacted more deities than I have. It's just that I don't know if the Old Gods count, but I don't seem to have contacted the Old Gods much... On the night of the Green Lake Moon Eclipse, I contacted the remains of the Primordial Moon in the 【Silver Moon Library】; does that count as contacting the 【Silver Moon Sage】?"

Xia De thought silently in his heart, but now he couldn't immediately find a door leading to the "Holy White Hall," so what kind of effect it could have would have to wait until later.

But he thought of another question:

"I remember the effect of the Dark Dungeon corresponding to 'Darkness' was to record the other side of everyone's heart; by contacting it, one could effectively smooth out the instability of the spirit and soul. Darkness records mortal things, Light records deities; it is exactly two by two. Thinking about it this way, Silver Moon records knowledge; I don't know what the Sun will record." ===== CHAPTER 2357 =====
