Chapter 2451: Xia De's Miracle - Nightfall Seal

~10 min read 1,878 words

Of course, Xia De was not the only one awakened by the footsteps. Miss Xivi Aurora was still curled up in Xia De's chest, her eyelashes trembling, looking toward the door with sleepy eyes:

"Bella, good morning. How was last night? I was very happy, oh, you wouldn't be blaming us for not calling you, would you?"

"Xivi, you actually..."

That Twelfth Tier Great Witch hugged Xia De's neck with a lazy smile, sliding upward like a white, greasy snake, and then kissed Xia De's forehead:

"Bella, please let me teach you the rules of witches: when everyone is facing a plate of afternoon tea snacks, if you only care about being reserved instead of reaching out to take them in time, the only thing left for you is an empty plate."

"Meow~"

The cat poked its head out from the doorway and looked into the room; it wanted to go have breakfast with Xia De.

Xia De was very glad that at least at the breakfast table that day, the witches tacitly didn't discuss what happened last night, but congratulated Bella Belinder on her upcoming promotion to the Twelfth Tier.

This allowed Xia De to successfully preserve his image in the hearts of Miss Feilian and Fiona, but he only discovered while eating breakfast that the maids would occasionally look at him with strange eyes.

It was the blonde writer miss sitting beside him who reminded him;

"The maids are all talking about how you brought two witch apprentices into the room at once. This is the most popular topic in the manor and on the ship now."

After all, they didn't dare to discuss the Great Witches casually.

"Hmm?"

Xia De asked urgently in a low voice:

"Wait a minute, everyone knows?"

"Except for Emilia and Ajilina, everyone knows. But I think Emilia and the others will hear about it soon. The elf and the princess have good popularity, and the maids are also willing to share news with them."

Dorothy smiled very happily.

Fortunately, no one discussed this at the breakfast table. Xia De guessed that Miss Feilian and Fiona must have heard the news, but they had no reaction.

The only news during breakfast was that Iluna had sent someone to deliver a letter, and Miss Danister had time to meet and chat with him this afternoon:

"Miss Danister said she would come to see me alone, and the location is set on the terrace of the Belinder Big Ben that I mentioned."

Xia De had already borrowed the place from the countess in advance. Xia De had also mentioned in the letter to Miss Danister that Miss Feilian and Fiona would go together.

The specific meeting time was 2:00 PM this Tuesday. As for this morning, Xia De naturally didn't have any free time.

After breakfast, Dorothy let Xia De wait, and then found Xia De with Megan, holding a roll of parchment that looked very old:

"Look at this! I recorded the story about you, about the miracle of the God of Silver Moon!"

She was in such high spirits early in the morning because she had successfully completed this task last night. And the evidence that she succeeded lay in the fact that there were indeed miracle elements on that roll of parchment.

Although miracle elements were not completely impossible to be created artificially like whisper elements, if this roll of parchment was originally just ordinary paper and only possessed elements because of the story written on it, then she had indeed succeeded.

Miss Feilian was also beside Xia De at this time, while Fiona followed behind her teacher in a maid outfit, looking very skilled, no less than professional maids like Tifa and Matilda.

"If this is truly a miracle of the gods, theoretically it should be able to help believers of this god obtain divine arts by reading and knowing the story."

The demigod witch said with great interest, and Megan nodded immediately:

"I have discussed this issue with Dorothy, so Xia De should have the conditions to learn this 'miracle.' And given Xia De's relationship with that god, basically reading the story should be enough to learn it."

This was indeed worth trying, but reading the story only required Xia De to unfold the parchment and take a look, but Dorothy believed that such a serious and solemn matter absolutely could not be carried out in the corridor.

Therefore, out of respect for the hard work of Dorothy and Megan, the group went to the library on the ship.

This place was originally a library. For this luxury cruise ship, libraries, casinos, theaters, and indoor swimming pools were just basic configurations. The books placed in the quiet library were all collected by Miss Eilesser since she woke up in the Sixth Era, and only a small amount were "brought" by her from the Fifth Era.

Today Miss Eilesser was busy exchanging sea charts with Miss Aurora to determine the subsequent direction, so she didn't come here with the group.

Xia De, Megan, Dorothy, and Miss Feilian all sat at the long table in the library, while Fiona, dressed as a maid, stood behind Miss Feilian, looking very skilled in her movements, no less than professional maids like Tifa and Matilda.

"Then I'll start."

Unfolding the parchment, it was written in the common language of the North in the Sixth Era about the story of the God of Silver Moon transforming day and night to deal with powerful enemies.

A roll of parchment was not long, and the story on it was quite short. Religious stories and miracles of gods were often like this. Things that could be explained in two or three sentences didn't need to be written as long as a novel.

But the problem was that after Xia De finished reading, nothing happened.

"Is it because the time is wrong?"

Fiona asked:

"Since it's a miracle related to the night, perhaps it should be learned at night."

"No, the story is about transforming day into night, so it should be learned during the day."

The compiler of the miracle, Dorothy, denied it.

The wise Great Witch put forward other ideas:

"Most miracles need to be consistent with the description of the story. But in this miracle, the God of Silver Moon didn't seem to use any items... Could it be that it needs to be in the sunlight?"

Xia De thought this was also wrong:

"The point is not the sunlight, but the 'daytime'."

The demigod witch in the purple dress and blonde hair finally gave her opinion:

"Perhaps the location is wrong. Since it is a miracle of the Moon God, perhaps one needs to be in a temple to show piety. At least in the Fifth Era, witches had to go to churches and temples to learn divine arts."

"Temple?"

Dorothy laughed immediately:

"That's quite a coincidence. Before the Day of the Red Butterfly ended, as the Chosen Ones of Space, we were entrusted by someone on the ship to specifically create a special mirror, which is a space channel connecting this ship to the Randall Valley - Night Temple. This channel can only last until tomorrow noon, we can go over now."

"Wait a minute, who entrusted you to open the channel to that side?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and the blonde writer miss shook her head with a smile:

"This can't be said, but you should know very soon."

Dorothy then left with Fiona and soon moved back a floor mirror that looked very heavy. Xia De felt the shape of this mirror was very familiar. The base had a counterweight, and the mirror frame was a circle of randomly fabricated runes:

"Isn't this the mirror often used by the opera troupe when performing?"

Dorothy reached out and pressed a few times on the runes on the mirror frame, and then ripples appeared on the mirror surface until different scenery appeared.

The group traveled together from the library on the ship to the Night Temple in the Randall Valley, and the entrance manifested by the mirror on that side of the Night Temple was located to the left of the cave entrance leading from the mountain cave to the side wall where the temple was located.

Therefore, after walking out of the cabin, they directly arrived at the sunny side cliff of the valley in the morning.

Looking forward was the boundless valley forest sea, and looking sideways was the relatively narrow cliff side, as well as the ruins of the three giant arches.

"It's effective, the miracle elements on the parchment are strengthening."

Xia De said, leading the group through the stone arch and arriving at the open space where the symbols of the sun, moon, and stars were engraved on the ground at the end of the temple.

Miss Feilian looked down at the ritual pattern on the ground, and Fiona's big tail behind her swept lightly, blowing away all the floating dust.

Megan and Dorothy were also looking around, and the final conclusion was that this "Night Temple" had indeed been abandoned for too many years. If it weren't for the three incomplete arches still existing, this place would be no different from an ordinary cliff wall.

"This ritual base, wasn't it originally existing in the temple?"

Listening to the discussion between Dorothy and Megan, Fiona asked curiously, and Dorothy looked at Xia De:

"Xia De said this was left behind after he held a strange ritual related to time here."

However, the purpose of coming here this time was not to study this ritual base. The ladies chatted and all retreated to the cliff wall of the cliff, while Xia De stood alone in the center of the sun, moon, and stars ritual base, opening the parchment to read the story again.

And this time, as he softly finished telling his experience, the ritual base on the ground lit up with light, and a layer of silver, yellow, and red moonlight appeared on the three incomplete arches respectively.

Miracle elements gathered on Xia De's body from the parchment and the glowing ground as the story was finished. Just because this was not obtaining a Spirit Rune, the Life Ring in his soul did not automatically emerge.

Rich ink color appeared around Xia De's body, as if he had summoned the night again. The strong miracle elements affected the reality of the environment, and the rippling night gradually spread around Xia De like ripples, but before spreading outside the ritual base area on the ground, it disappeared again under the pressure of daylight.

Seeing this scene, the girls understood that Xia De had probably succeeded.

"She" in his ear reminded him softly:

【This is a story after the Ancient Ones, this is a story of the Dragon and the Moon. Light intended to devour everything, so the Moon summoned the guardian of the night. When the long night descends, all things should receive peace.】

【Outsider, you have obtained the miracle "Night Veil Seal". Use the corresponding gesture to cast the seal and summon the night veil. This shield resists light-type damage and mental-type damage; using the seal in lightless or dim-light areas at night can achieve an invisibility effect.】
