Chapter 2471: [Holy White Hall]
"No need to feel sorry for Miss Ou Lan Nuo De; we will meet again someday."
Having set up the venue, Xia De put the cat on his lap onto the picnic cloth, then raised his hand, letting the six candlesticks on the cloth rise to a height of one meter and hover there:
"Please forgive my poor hospitality, ladies. May I invite you to enjoy a candlelight dinner together tonight?"
He asked. Fiona nodded immediately, while Miss Miss Feilian An Na looked at the glowing stream behind Xia De, raised her head, and thought for a moment before saying:
"I think that is acceptable."
The wind brought the coolness of late summer, the sun sank into the west, and the three moons hung in the starry sea. Although the dinner by the stream was held in the open air, it was exceptionally romantic. Only in such a season could such a date be held; after all, summer was really coming to an end.
The dinner by the stream lasted for a full two hours. During this time, the three of them talked about many things under the starry sea. Some things were important, but most were just warm daily trifles.
And considering Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Fiona's stay, Jia Lin Na and Princess Lei Qianya did not visit No. 6 St. Deran Square that night, just sending maids to replenish enough food in the kitchen before the three returned home.
Therefore, when Xia De was woken up by Little Mia on time at 6:30 early Sunday morning, Fiona was actually already humming a tune in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Fiona, are you up so early?"
"Up at six. I have red dragon blood; our sleep is quite different from humans and elves."
The girl wearing an apron turned around and smiled in front of the stove, holding a pot in her right hand and a spatula in her left, with her tail curling around the spoon to stir the egg whites:
"When I went out with Teacher Miss Feilian An Na and Teacher Ou Lan Nuo De before, I was the one who prepared breakfast. I usually get up at six, and the teachers get up at seven. Xia De, what do you like to eat? Is the same as yesterday okay? Good morning, Little Mia, I've prepared breakfast for you too."
She didn't forget to greet the lazy cat, and the cat also let out a "Meow~". Somehow, it had an exceptionally good attitude toward Fiona... probably because they both had beautiful tails.
After touring the city and the outskirts yesterday, Xia De planned to take them to other interesting places in the city today, such as the city library, the Five Gods Church, or even the grave of Mr. Sparrow Hamilton. But after breakfast, Miss Miss Feilian An Na pulled Xia De aside, wanting him to tell her in detail about the special "doors" in his home.
These "doors" had existed since the ancient gods left, so this information could be told to them.
So after Fiona finished washing the dishes and tidying up the dining room, Xia De started from the basement and led them to visit the "doors" in his home. Located in the basement were the "Space Labyrinth," "Dark Dungeon," and "Earth Core Furnace." Located in Room 2 on the second floor was the "Hall of the Secret Keeper," and the "Soul Cemetery" was in the corridor on the third floor.
Xia De and Lu Weiya had now witnessed the stories of seven Chosen Ones. Except for the initial "Inquisitor's Court" of Yi Lu Na and the newly acquired "Holy White Hall," the "doors" corresponding to the other five Chosen Ones were all here.
Entering these doors required not only keys and incantations but also corresponding spiritual runes. Fortunately, for the two ancient witches, they possessed the spiritual runes related to 【Space】, 【Darkness】, 【Earth】, 【Death】, and 【Knowledge】.
So Xia De took them into these doors separately and explained in detail what he had used these special spaces for:
"The dungeon is what I use the least, and the space labyrinth is what I use the most. The Hall of the Secret Keeper speeds up learning and reading efficiency, which is very useful. The special forging and casting system opened by the Earth Core Furnace has given my alchemy skills new possibilities.
【Soul Cemetery】 is the most special; after all, this is one of the few ways that can directly allow me to safely enter 'Death,' but it requires the Heart of the Undead to activate this function."
The three appeared together in the third-floor corridor, and the black iron fence door behind them closed silently and disappeared automatically.
Fiona, who was helping to hold Little Mia, shivered, very uncomfortable with the lonely cold in the cemetery that made the soul freeze. Miss Miss Feilian An Na was perfectly normal:
"You said you could enter the Council, so in this way, you have actually come into contact with ten ancient god legacy spaces?"
"No, it's ten. Five here, plus 【Corridor of Time】, 【Witch Council】, 【Inquisitor's Court】, 【Silver Moon Library】, and 【Holy White Hall】, totaling ten. It's just that the conditions for entering 【Silver Moon Library】 are too harsh, and 【Inquisitor's Court】 is still missing the ancient god's holy emblem, and I don't have the spiritual runes related to 【Balance】."
Xia De said, hesitated for a moment, and then suggested:
"As for 【Holy White Hall】, it can actually be entered now. I originally planned to wait until Lu Weiya returned to place it. But since we happened to talk about this topic today, why don't we go and see it now?"
Fiona was eager to try, but she looked at her teacher first. Miss Miss Feilian An Na didn't refuse:
"Then give Lu Weiya a gift afterward. Not only because of this but also because she has been taking care of you. I am your teacher, Xia De; I should thank her."
The placement of the "Holy White Hall" had no specific location requirements, but since "Darkness" was in the basement, Xia De thought about putting "Light" at the highest point of the house.
Miss Miss Feilian An Na agreed with Xia De's view:
"Don't let these doors gather too much, so it's best to have at least two doors on each floor."
She seemed to feel that one day there would be thirteen doors here.
The highest point of the house was naturally the attic. After pulling open the trapdoor, Xia De turned into a butterfly and flew up. Miss Miss Feilian An Na floated up, and Fiona flapped her wings and followed at the end.
When visiting the house on Friday, Xia De had brought them here, and Fiona had also evaluated Xia De's ancient ritual of absorbing "Sun Fire" and "Moon Water."
The area of the attic was about two-thirds of the floor below. Xia De's use of this place was limited to two rituals and stacking Duo Luo Qian's reader letters, so it looked very empty.
There were positions everywhere on the walls. Xia De finally chose the wall facing west, where the sun was just shining.
Although he took the cards to the Prophecy Association yesterday, Xia De would only hand them over temporarily after the appraisers arrived locally. Therefore, at this time, 【Founding·Light】 was still in his hands. Xia De, who already had experience, threw the cards forward, controlling them to rotate along the central axis in front of him.
Suddenly, he extended the index finger of his right hand and pointed at the center of the cards, and said softly:
"Light."
Strange halos radiated from the surface of the cards as his fingertips touched them. The cards stuck to the wall, and then thin white mist drifted out from the gap between the back of the cards and the wall, slowly climbing along the wall.
The white mist became denser and denser until it formed a white mist door with 【Founding·Light】 as the center, through which the wall behind could not be seen. And when Xia De took the cards back, the white mist disappeared, and the wall returned to normal.
"It's done. Now this is the entrance to the 【Holy White Hall】, the legacy space left by the ancient god 【Dragon of Radiant Light】."
Xia De said very satisfactorily and demonstrated the steps to open the door to them.
First, summon the destiny ring, and the brass-colored spiritual light of Enlightenment-【Witch's Light】 shone on the wall, so the mist door slowly emerged;
Then, take out the small drawstring bag, pour out three of the six dragon scales, and let the three of them hold one each;
Finally, say the incantation to the mist door:
"May the eternal light protect me as I walk with the light."
Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Fiona followed Xia De forward and stepped through the mist door, so the three of them and one cat disappeared into the house together.
【Outlander, you have entered the Holy White Hall.】
【Please note that you can only possess one blessing from this place at the same time.】
Stepping through the mist door, the surroundings turned into a vast expanse of white mist. The black dragon scale, brass dragon scale, and green dragon scale in the hands of the three shone slightly. Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Fiona followed closely behind Xia De.
"Keep walking forward."
He said, and as the group of three continued forward, something in the mist quickly stirred the mist.
The ground didn't shake, but as they moved forward, a magnificent white holy hall rose from the ground all around. It wasn't that the building appeared out of thin air in front of them, but that the building that appeared out of thin air directly enveloped them.
Huge white pillars with exquisite carvings stretched toward the high places of the mist, and glowing white walls inlaid with colored glass spread upward silently.
It was only a dozen steps forward, and the hall that seemed to be radiating holy light everywhere was perfectly presented around them. The building as a whole was white, and even the huge square grid floors under their feet were made of the same thick white material as the walls.
Looking up, one could only see thick mist and no ceiling, so even if a giant from a story came here, they wouldn't feel it was low. And the area of this 【Holy White Hall】 was extremely large. The position where the three appeared was the center of the hall. The area of the regular hexagonal hall was about the same size as the entire St. Deran Square.
There were neatly arranged white back chairs everywhere in the hall. The material looked like some kind of wood with glowing properties, and the hollows of the chair backs were all the holy emblem of the "Dragon of Radiant Light." The pure white seats all had uniform red cushions, which was also one of the few different colors in this hall.
These chairs were divided into eight areas, facing eight different directions, with aisles left between chairs of different orientations. And under the walls at the ends of the hall where the chairs faced were glowing white pedestals, with the holy emblems of different gods floating above the pedestals.
At a glance, one couldn't count how many pedestals were here at all. Even if one deliberately counted patiently, one would find that the number of pedestals was immeasurable. The larger the number counted, the larger the area of the hall would become. Of course, not all white stone regular octagonal pedestals had holy emblems floating above them, and the regular octagonal pedestals with holy emblems floating above them were not all displayed together.
Or rather, the holy emblems that Xia De could see were scattered in different positions under the walls. ===== CHAPTER 2472 =====
