Chapter 2485

"Although there are only three texts, this is definitely not the church being stingy. Two of the contents of these texts are related to the moon, and one is related to time. They are the ones the church thinks are most suitable for the 'God-Caller.' Xia De, you had better choose to read them at night, and it is recommended not to be in the city area."

Worried that Xia De ignored the usage instructions on the side of the metal plates, Yiluna also specifically explained.

So on this Friday night, Xia De ran to the Temple of Night and opened the three texts under the moon respectively.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the "Sun, Moon, and Stars" ritual array at the end of the temple. Little Mia was placed on the ground by him, and was walking around nearby as if inspecting her territory.

The dragon skin of the first dragon skin text was an ancient object from the Third Era, but the text on it was written in the early Fifth Era. This text belonged to the Church of Dawn and was used to record a major event at that time:

"On a night in the early Fifth Era without a specified date, the Central Continent, the Western Continent, and the northern part of the Southern Continent all saw the blood moon dye the entire night sky red. The blood-red night lasted for 39 hours in those areas before ending. During this period, countless living creatures experienced flesh and blood distortion, and even witches could not avoid it.

The Witch Emperors formed a joint investigation team for this, but failed to investigate the reason for this mutation. Later, through tracing ancient documents, it was learned that every thousand years, the moon of the material world would always have abnormal phenomena in some areas. The frequency of such accidents is not fixed, but they are all very dangerous."

Xia De looked at the content written on the dragon skin and looked up at the three moons hanging high above the forest sea of the Randall River Valley at this moment:

"Moon mutation? It's just because before the arrival of the Sixth Era, the collapse of the world was not so serious, so the frequency was very low."

It was also written later that different colored moon mutations would lead to different disasters, and the mutated moon was not necessarily just a single-color mutation; it could also be a multi-color mutation.

Besides silver, yellow, and red, the most terrible was the mutation of the "black moon" during the lunar eclipse, which would randomly curse life within the mutation range.

But although these contents were terrible, they would not make the entire scroll of dragon skin dangerous because of this.

The above words were all written in beautiful flowery letters, and because the area of the dragon skin after being cut was not small, the size of those letters was also very suitable.

But the last line of text was pitifully small, and the font was crooked, as if the writer couldn't control the hand holding the pen—

【When the moonlight invades the night, do not look at the moon】

"Who?!"

Xia De suddenly looked up at the night sky. Just now, he clearly felt that something was watching him.

But at this time, the night sky was quite normal, and the three moons were also quietly hanging above his head. It was very safe here.

"Meow~"

Little Mia meowed at the night sky, and then ran to Xia De's front again, looking very happy. Xia De touched this well-behaved cat, pressed his heart that suddenly beat faster at that moment, and after confirming that there was nothing around, he continued to look at the scroll of dragon skin.

But those crooked letters were the final content. The sentence did not have a period, and there were some ink stains behind it, as if the writer couldn't hold the pen after writing these words.

"What does this mean again? Do not look at the moon, this is indeed very bluffing."

Of course, Xia De also knew that the witch who left this record was definitely not talking nonsense, otherwise he wouldn't have had a strange feeling at that moment:

"Although I feel like I know a lot of things all of a sudden, it seems like I haven't figured anything out. Moon mutation, at least wait until the Chosen One of the Moon appears, but isn't the next one probably time?"

Thinking in his heart, he put away the scroll of dragon skin again, and then picked up the human skin text.

Making alchemy props or "human skin paper" with human skin is something prohibited in this era, and this antique in Xia De's hand, according to the church's statement, might originate from the Second Era.

However, the introduction on the metal plate that stored this text said that the danger of this text was not great, it just involved some things related to the Ancient Gods, so the content could not be made public.

The touch of the human skin text was very bad. Xia De was very glad that he had been wearing gloves. He read the content of the manuscript carefully, and then looked up at the moon and fell into deep thought.

Although the production material of this scroll of text was terrible, the content had no other dangers besides having spiritual pollution because it involved the secrets of the Ancient Gods and the moon.

The ancient scholar who wrote this text called himself "Moon's Ancestor" and claimed that although the moon, like the sun, was a gathering body of massive spirits, divine power, and elements, there existed a strange space in the moon.

According to the content of this text, in the era when the Ancient Gods had not yet left, at the end of the highest-standard moon-worship ritual, a staircase connecting the earth and the moon would appear.

Climbing the staircase, one could go to the moon, and the incarnation of the Moon Sage would appear there to give blessings to pious believers. It was even rumored that a door stood there, and behind the door was a library recording everything in the world.

Of course, only the highest-standard ritual could open such a moon staircase, and those who could be invited to go to the moon were all pure girls. The Moon Sage favored such girls.

"So, there exists a constant door on the moon leading to the 【Silver Moon Library】?"

Xia De asked in his heart, and "She" continued to guess:

【Maybe the text refers to the original moon.】

"Yes, now the moon has split into three rounds. Even if that door really existed on the original moon, I'm afraid it can't be found now."

But this did not prevent Xia De from imagining the prosperous 【Moon Worship Cult】 in the ancient era, worshipping the moon together under the deep and charming night, and the moon also responded to those pious people.

Thinking and thinking, he unconsciously raised his right hand, as if wanting to touch the silver moon in the distant night sky, but of course, he couldn't touch anything.

【Will you resent that the moon did not give you power during this Battle of Moon Bay?】

"She" suddenly asked, probably thinking that Xia De had specifically come to the Temple of Night before that great battle, but did not get any response.

"Of course I wouldn't think so. The Ancient Gods have already left. Besides, even if they were still watching this world, what reason do I have to demand that the gods must come to help me?"

The moonlight fell on his face, he raised his hand to "pinch" the moon, and neither "She" nor he spoke.

A moment later, seeing that Xia De ignored it, the cat meowed "meow meow~." Xia De touched it gently twice:

"Miss Gao De will arrive in a few days, Mia, you must not leave me."

The cat couldn't understand these words, and felt that these words were not said to itself either. Xia De then hugged it into his arms and looked up at the moon again:

"I really want to go up and take a look, see if that door is still there, see if that Sage left any traces there."

Most of the second text introduced this ancient moon-worship ritual, but the writer who called himself "Moon's Ancestor" had never participated in this ritual himself; the Ancient Gods had already gone far away in the era he lived in.

However, at the end of this scroll of human skin, the ink stains left by the gradually insane "Moon's Ancestor" had changed from dark blue to blood red, and he said this:

【On the night when the three moons overlap, sacrifice your blood relatives and peel off your ugly skin. When everything in your eyes becomes distorted and frantic, the hill piled up with flesh and blood will be cast into the staircase for you and me to ascend the moon.】

"It seems he also went crazy... No, why do these people who worship the moon all go crazy in the end."

Xia De looked up at the three moons in the night sky again, and then was very sure that at least he hadn't gone crazy, at least not yet.

However, reading this kind of text also had some spiritual damage to him, so he didn't rush to open the last text, but held the cat and looked at the moon to rest for a while. The first two texts were very interesting, and the church indeed chose the knowledge most suitable for him.

Under the moonlit night, his spirit, physical strength, and spirit recovered very quickly, but the faint melancholy in his heart made Xia De very want to sigh. As for Little Mia, who was being held by Xia De, it was very excited at this time.

The warm cat hadn't changed at all since the Battle of Moon Bay, and Xia De's attempt to make it swallow a Philosopher's Stone again hadn't succeeded. Xia De had already decided to wait until he saw Miss Gao De before making further plans to explore the cat's secrets.

So after resting for a while, he picked up the last scroll of golden sheep parchment.

"Golden Sheep" is a strange creature that is extremely rare in the current era. They themselves have unique talents related to "luck," and their fur is an extremely precious alchemy material.

The words that can be written on this material are naturally extraordinary. This last text came from the Fourth Era, which was before the era of witches.

【In the ancient era, the roots of the World Tree stretched across the crust of the entire material world. Even if the canopy of the World Tree was intentionally controlled by the ancient elves, it covered a quarter of the sky of the ancient Central Continent.

When the ancient era ended, the World Tree also headed toward decay, but to this day, the material world still retains some ancient trees from the ancient era. They once witnessed the sunset and sunrise of the initial era together with the World Tree.

Occasionally, some tree holes appear on those ancient trees. This is a channel formed by the residual power of the Ancient God - Father of Infinite Trees. Crossing the tree hole, one can travel through time without using the 'Time Key,' but few people can return from the tree hole. The following are some records left by individuals who claimed to have returned after crossing the tree hole.】

The content written on the parchment made of golden sheep parchment was more than the sum of the first two. It not only described the characteristics and appearance of the special channel called "Time Tree Hole" by the writer but also recorded three reports that might be of value.

The three records were not very long, describing what happened after crossing the "Time Tree Hole" in the first person.
