Chapter 2955: Moon and Tree

"Please speak."

The nun's voice was still as cold as ever.

"What exactly is your relationship with that God-Caller?"

The "Nightmare Witch" was quite curious;

"So far, all the Chosen Ones, except for the dead 'Darkness' Chosen One Ivan Darkness, and the 'Knowledge and Wisdom' Chosen One Leikins Pulisia who has gone completely mad, all other Chosen Ones have close ties with the God-Caller.

The 'Earth' Chosen One basically only meets with the God-Caller; we don't even know the identities of the 'Light' Chosen One and the 'Space' Chosen One. As for that 'Balance' Chosen One, Miss Iluna Beias, we all know that girl has been entangled with the God-Caller since last summer.

So, you, this 'Death' Chosen One, cannot have no connection with the God-Caller. Daelin, what is your relationship with her?"

The nun was clearly wearing an eye patch, yet every person familiar with her could feel the "scrutiny" from behind the eye patch from time to time.

"Friendship."

"So you have met the God-Caller up close and know her true identity, right?"

Maria Ingram laughed. Her apparent age looked a bit older than Sister Daelin, but the two were actually the same age. Long ago, before the nun was a Fire-Holding Nun and the female Shushi was a 13th-tier Ringed Shushi, they had already known each other.

"Is the God-Caller really, as the legends say, a highly educated woman with mild paranoid mental problems and a chaotic private life? Oh, seeing her so familiar with the witches, her chaotic private life should only be directed at women, right?"

In this description, except for the wrong pronoun, the other details were actually correct. However, the good friend in front of her was only asking about details, not asking about gender, so Sister Daelin nodded:

"Basically correct. It's just that it shouldn't be considered a mental problem, just a small problem in terms of personality."

The female Shushi who got the answer was very satisfied. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with her good friend and inviting her to go out for a walk together after the Battle of Vesta Woodland, she turned and left, telling her companions that there was no problem with this room.

The information provided by the "Nightmare Witch" was quickly transmitted by the nun to the Radiant Messenger. Given that the Accordion Hotel had become unreliable, Vanessa and Xivi finally decided to abandon the base on the third floor of the hotel and organize manpower to wipe out all traces there as soon as possible.

Although Flora was currently at the church, Xia De naturally knew she would not agree. This was not because the rent she paid had not been used up, but because that place carried most of her memories after coming to the woodland. So Xia De still wanted to fight for it, but felt that he seemed to have no reason to let everyone stay in a dangerous place.

Fortunately, someone acted faster than him:

"No need to withdraw from the third floor. I'll go talk to the Academy and let the Academy acknowledge that it is a secret base of St. Byron's."

The red-haired girl said to the witches, and then she and Xia De looked at each other, both feeling that they had the same idea.

"Since you are going to the Academy's camp, take Emilia with you."

Xia De then proposed again. At this time, everyone was sitting in the banquet hall on the ship for a meeting, and Sister Daelin had just finished introducing the situation in the city. Hearing her name mentioned, the little elf hurriedly put down the teacup she had just picked up:

"What am I going to the camp for?"

"Of course, to explain that you have returned, making the Church and the Academy realize that the final battle is about to begin."

"Then is Miss Olanode going with me? Grandma Qishala knows about Miss Olanode, but others don't."

Emilia asked again. Xia De looked at Miss Dannister, and the red-haired girl nodded knowingly:

"I will explain to the Academy that this is Emilia's trump card. If they really ask, I will only reveal this secret to a few people who must know. For now, I won't arrange for Miss Olanode to meet with the Academy's professors; it's not the time to say hello yet."

Miss Bell, of course, also went to the church with Flora, so the information collection and summary work in the city was temporarily handed over to Miss Haley Aphrodite and Miss Swift.

Just like the news brought back by Sister Daelin, this afternoon the Five-God Sect simultaneously raided the three major families of Bennett, Fisher, and Koch, and dispatched 13th-tier Ringed Shushi to inspect suspicious locations. Under normal circumstances, such time-consuming and laborious work would not be done by 13th-tier Shushi.

Although the Church's Ringed Shushi were disguised as police on the surface, this still caused rumors to fly in the city. By Wednesday dinner time, there were even rumors in the city that local traditional nobles, including Director Kant from some time ago, had long been colluding with the Northerners, intending to bury secret troops in Vesta Woodland to raid Vilon Dai Er, and then overthrow the entire United Kingdom in one fell swoop. At that time, Vesta City would replace Vilon Dai Er as the new political center of the southern region, and the locals could become the new "Capital People."

This outrageous rumor was, of course, not true, but it was true that Mr. Bennett, Baron Fisher, and Mr. Koch were taken away.

However, at least Flora and the others returned before dinner. As a well-known public figure, the Church would not let her stay too long without evidence and without suspecting her itself.

"They spent the whole afternoon asking us questions, such as the reason for coming to this city, the reason for staying at the hotel, our impression of the Bennett family, and whether we encountered any suspicious events while staying at the hotel."

The returning Miss Owl was warmly welcomed by everyone. Everyone wanted to know what methods the Church used to "interrogate" the people who were taken away. But Flora thought it wasn't an interrogation, just an invitation for afternoon tea:

"The tea leaves the Church used were really not bad. I don't know if it was a special supply for the church. But the afternoon tea snacks they provided were very bad. Not to mention compared to Servit and Ellington, even the chef at the Accordion Hotel couldn't compare."

"I suspect those were snacks made by the choir children, otherwise I can't explain why the shapes of those snacks were so... cartoonish."

The maids prepared a sumptuous feast tonight to welcome their return, and when Flora heard that Dannister had managed to retain the Accordion Hotel base, the smile on her face let everyone know she was quite happy about it:

"Why don't I see Xia De and Dannister? Why didn't they come to welcome me?"

That was because Xia De also accompanied Emilia to the Academy's camp in the forest, and of course, little Liana accompanied them. The Academy camp was the treehouse camp of the Night-Singing Elves in the previous era. Although it was different from the normal forest area and remained evergreen even in winter, it had now turned into a silver-clad appearance after two heavy snowfalls.

Because the 13th-tier Shushi were all suffering from the "Age Curse," Miss Dannister didn't need to use illusion magic to disguise her appearance when entering and leaving the camp recently. Before coming, she had sent a letter to the camp in advance, and the group entered the camp smoothly.

The elves of the nine tribes had already received the news and were waiting in the treehouse at the highest point of the camp. When Emilia appeared and showed her life ring, and briefly revealed her 13th-tier life ring while wearing the "Elven Kingship," the group of elderly elves were very satisfied:

"That leaves only the Chosen One ritual. According to the agreement, after the Chosen One ritual, we will jointly support you as the Elven Queen."

At the same time, the old elves also brought new news for Emilia:

"Our ancient race has many antiques from the previous era. When we re-checked our belongings recently, we found new fragments of poetry. The news only arrived this morning, and the fragments correspond to this event."

"What is it about? The Chosen One ritual? I already know something about this."

Emilia asked curiously, so Grandma Tirinas of the Long-Leaf Elves brought out a piece of bark and handed it to Emilia:

"See for yourself."

That piece of bark was a specially treated birch bark document, which recorded a part of the 13th-tier miracle "Maze: Void Tree Space." The content on the document should be the very beginning information about this maze. Xia De stood next to Emilia and glanced at it, and roughly knew that the specialty of this maze was that its existence time was not limited.

There were other special effects in the space, but it wasn't written on the bark. However, it was written that as long as the maze was successfully opened once, it would be equivalent to carrying a huge space-type equipment with you from then on, and you could store items in the "Void Tree Space" anytime, anywhere.

Of course, this miracle was not the most critical; the key was that there was a line of inconspicuous small characters at the bottom of the bark. This looked like an annotation written by an ancient witch for this miracle. If translated, the general meaning was—

【When the full moon shines on the earth, the tree of rebirth will undergo transformation.】

Emilia read the sentence softly. In addition to making the old elves praise her ancient Elven language for being very standard, it also let the little elf herself know the important significance of this sentence:

"Does this refer to time? Will this Chosen One battle take place during the full moon?"

Grandma Qishala said from the side:

"Although the ancient elves had estrangement because of their belief in the Tree and the Moon, the elves were originally one race. As long as you talk about elves, the Tree and the Moon are topics that cannot be avoided. So completing the ritual under the moon is also one of the possible situations we discussed before."

"But the moon phase of the full moon..."

Emilia remembered the topic that the witches and Xia De had discussed a few days ago:

"This Saturday, Sunday, and next Monday, the three moons will be full in succession for three consecutive days."

"Yes, a very strange moon phase that only appears once every few hundred years. If nothing unexpected happens, your Chosen One ritual will be held at that time. The diviners in the clan have already confirmed this." ===== CHAPTER 2956 =====
