Chapter 2598: Enlightenment - Direction

The shared soul power carried a dim flame color. At this moment, everything around was extremely quiet. The Underworld Moon shone on the two people around the flames, and the colors of this fire, which did not belong to death, leaped in the eyes of the cat and the witch.

This was the most ancient ritual. Even though the Fire-Holding Sisters had died, they still wanted to fulfill their responsibilities.

Thus, "She" whispered softly in Xia De's ear:

【In a world without light in the darkness, fire points the way for wisdom and civilization. The fire that burns all things has been a beacon for the advancement of civilization since the ancient barbaric era. Now that the fire is weak, the swaying flame still points the final direction for you, the last one.】

【Outsider, you have felt "Enlightenment."】

In the steam fog, the whistle and bell did not appear, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility here. The life ring floated silently in front of the Underworld Moon, and the dim firelight gathered into the brass-colored enlightenment element, leaving a silent mark on the rapidly rotating life ring.

【Outsider, you have inscribed the Huang Tong Enlightenment Spirit Rune - Direction.】

【You have obtained the sorcery - Undying Fire Seal. Share your own flames with a soul that is willing to accept it; no matter where it is, you can always know its direction. This mark cannot be destroyed. Casting the sorcery requires the use of special flames. Corresponds to the "Direction" spirit rune.】

This was the second spirit rune of Xia De's Eighth Ring after Miracle - Night, and it was also the last missing spirit rune of the mid-ring sublimation language "The shadow of the silver moon points to the final direction."

He originally thought that this spirit rune would be obtained at the end of the Eighth Ring. Although he had realized "direction" when guiding the two ladies to save Vista City, he thought he would continue to guide time travelers afterward, but he didn't expect to obtain it so easily from the sister of the Fifth Era.

These souls standing in front of the Underworld Moon always seemed to have all kinds of strange powers. Of course, this sister obviously had power before she died. Xia De suspected that she had marked her sister with this incantation when she was alive.

"Thank you."

Xia De expressed his gratitude to Sister Brock. The sister slowly let go of Xia De's hand, but just shook her head. The eyes behind the black gauze looked at her sister again, but finally just said to Xia De:

"May the First Fire protect you."

Then she turned and set off again toward the Underworld Moon with thousands of other souls.

The witch stood at the bow, and it was not until she could no longer distinguish her sister's figure that she sat down again. Thus, the small boat turned silently in the slight shaking, and the small boat that turned its bow set off again in the direction it came from, which was the direction away from the Underworld Moon.

"Do you still want to leave from Black Sand Wharf now?"

Xia De, who was holding the cat, asked again after sitting down. The witch, who still looked lost, shook her head:

"I don't want to anymore. When I come here next time, I will see my sister on my own. Thank you, I already understand."

Xia De smiled, clipped the eye mask back on his right upper arm, and then a cluster of small red flames appeared on the tip of his right index finger:

"Sorcery - Undying Fire Seal."

But after thinking about it, the red flame turned into silver Moonfire, and this flame could actually be used to cast this sorcery.

"Meow~"

Seeing Xia De bring the flames closer, little Mia did not resist at all. Because the cat's face was really too small, the flames were pressed on its back by Xia De.

The pure Moonfire without temperature penetrated into the cat's body, and the complex silver patterns flashed across the white cat fur on the orange-white cat, and then disappeared.

"Meow~"

It rubbed against Xia De, and then lay on his lap again, looking like it didn't feel uncomfortable.

The casting was successful. Xia De not only felt the consumption of spirit caused by casting the spell, but also felt that his own spirit limit had been permanently reduced. But the reduction of the limit was not large. If expressed in numerical values, it was equivalent to a five-digit spirit limit, and now a change occurred in the tens digit.

The detection of "Sorcery - Undying Fire Seal" was not a passive effect; it required active perception to obtain the "direction of the fire seal carrier." And when Xia De tried to detect the cat's position while the small boat slid silently, he clearly perceived little Mia in front of him:

"I can perceive the general direction and distance, of which the direction is absolutely accurate, and the distance is not particularly accurate... If combined with 'Enhanced Spatial Perception' when holding a map... well, I can try it when I go back."

In short, with this sorcery, Xia De didn't have to worry about little Mia getting lost anymore. Even if it ran to the end of the world, Xia De would know where it went.

【You should note that you used a sorcery that cannot remove the mark on a cat whose ownership does not yet belong to you.】

"She" reminded softly, but Xia De didn't care much:

"That Miss Gao De is so strange. She didn't say she wanted to take Mia away when she visited my house last time. I think when she is willing to see me, she won't mind letting little Mia to me."

The Underworld Moon half-submerged in the water gradually moved away from the silent small boat. The Thirteenth-Ring witch was still feeling sad about the meeting with her sister just now, and when Xia De turned his head to look at the moon for the last time, he thought he would see one or two acquaintances standing there waving at him.

But there was none, only the silver, cold moon, quietly watching them leave. Xia De also knew very well that this was definitely not the last time he came to this place.

"Last time you asked me how to suppress the emptiness in the heart and soul of the great witch of death."

When the small boat suddenly sailed into the sudden thick fog, Ms. Brock spoke again:

"Did you try it when you went back?"

"But didn't you say 'two souls closely fit, heart to heart, and then kiss her with your greatest passion, and warm her with your flames and the temperature of your soul in the resonance of the soul'? And you have to do this for several years."

Xia De shook his head:

"My relationship with that lady hasn't reached that level yet, I can't use this method."

The witch looked at him:

"It seems that the girls of the future are a bit different from what I thought... You helped me, although my sister has already given you a gift, that was given by her, and it has nothing to do with me. I also want to give you a gift to thank you, otherwise the witches of the future will say that the witches of the past are very impolite."

She took out a notebook from her robe and stuffed it to Xia De:

"Since you refuse to use the most effective method, try using this potion. This is a potion that my sister and I created together. Before my sister completely solved my soul problem, I would use this occasionally.

Because this potion needs the First Fire to give a little temperature, so in order to prevent the future great witch of death from finding trouble with the future Fire-Holding Sister, I will not pass this potion formula to my students. I'll give it to you, as an expression of gratitude."

The notebook used nearly twenty pages to write the potion formula. This was not only because the formula was very complicated, but also because she wrote down the production process and precautions in detail.

The name of this potion was very simple, and it did not conform to the "standard potion naming rules"—Warmth.

Xia De turned directly to the last page to look at the introduction:

"Such a complicated potion, is its only effect to warm the soul?"

The Thirteenth-Ring great witch nodded gently:

"This is the temperature my sister gave me... I must remind you that a soul that has not felt temperature can still endure the cold; but once it has felt the temperature, the soul will crave heat even more.

I am because I know my sister will solve this problem sooner or later, so I don't care. But the witch you know, it's best not to let her use this potion often. Addiction is not the case, but... it's just a bit cruel, isn't it?"

Xia De nodded gently and solemnly put the notebook away. The small boat sailing in the fog was still moving in the direction it came from, but after the conversation between the two ended, the boatman who had been silent suddenly spoke:

"Since you have a direction, do you want to try rowing the boat?"

Ms. Brock knew that this was definitely not said to her, so she curled up and didn't even look at the stern.

Xia De looked at the tall figure in surprise:

"Me? I can certainly try, but... nothing, yes, I want to try."

As he spoke, he stood up, stuffed the cat into his coat and fastened the buttons before coming to the bow. When the cat tried hard to poke its little head out from the gap between the buttons, the tall figure in black robes had already sat down, and Xia De stood at the stern holding the oar with miracle elements.

As he shook it gently, he felt that he could completely control the direction and speed of the boat. This feeling was very interesting, and he didn't know whether this was the power of this boat, the power of this oar, or the power of God.

In short, under Xia De's control, the small boat soon passed through the thick fog and swayed again. At the same time, the monotonous sound of the tide appeared again.

In front of the thin white mist, the light of the bonfire by the pier was vaguely visible. Thus, a moment later, as the small boat was steadily stopped by Xia De at the old black pier, the journey of Xia De and Ms. Brock was considered successfully completed.

【Outsider, you have gained insights into "ferrying" and "boat."】

The witch got off the boat first. Xia De returned the oar to the "boatman" and thanked him softly before stepping onto the pier.

Although the journey just now took some time, because this time he could stay in the past for a full fifty minutes, there were actually more than ten minutes left at this time.

Xia De on the pier looked at the bonfire, confirming that only Mr. Nelson and Miss Peggy McConaughey, who broke the key, were by the bonfire at this time. By the way, her hair color was mainly golden, but there were black highlights at the tips, and he didn't know whether it was deliberately made like this or affected by her own power.

He signaled Ms. Brock not to leave the pier first, and then asked the "boatman" who was standing at the stern again:

"I want to take these people, oh, maybe one or two more people, back to the real world. How much is the boat fare? Oh, it's a round-trip ticket. We don't interfere with the past, nor do we cause any impact on the past, we just go and see." ===== CHAPTER 2599 =====
