Chapter 3080

It is very simple to distinguish them in the camp. First, their clothing is not the unified style of the hermits, and second, of course, they did not hide their physical characteristics in the depths of this dense forest.

Half-elves, dwarves, werewolves, cat-people, winged people, minotaurs, dragon-born, halflings, Xia De even saw a snake-person girl. However, the other party was not in the human form of the upper body and the giant snake form of the lower body, but only had vertical pupils in her eyes, and one-third of her face had snake scales.

This reminded Xia De that when he saw Chloe before taking the ship at the end of the "Black Sand Pier" story, there were also many alien witches in the little ice witch's camp. But at that time, the alien races could still walk in the civilized world, and now most of the ancient races were hiding on the edge of the civilized world, so the alien ring warlocks who lived in the human world for various reasons could only huddle together for warmth.

Mr. Steve Davis, the great elder of the 【Forest Hermit Group】, greeted the Witch Council's team outside the camp. He once again expressed his gratitude for the witches' rescue during the Battle of Vista Woodland and expressed his admiration for the "God Caller's" achievement of saving this forest.

The 【Forest Hermit Group】 would continue to be active in the Vista Woodland afterwards. This story that happened in the autumn and winter of 1854 in the Sixth Era would be recorded and passed down by them. Although they would not directly participate in the maintenance work of the seal afterwards, this forest still could not lack their care.

On the way here, Flora had already introduced the current personnel composition of the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】 to Xia De in detail, so when Mr. Davis introduced the president of the Secret Cult to the "God Caller," Xia De was not surprised by the lady with wings on her back.

"Joanna Laval. It is an honor to meet you, God Caller, may the Silver Moon shine on the road ahead for us."

Miss Laval reached out to Xia De, but because she was just a sorceress and not a witch, she didn't grab Xia De's wrist but just shook hands.

This lady had beautiful long black curly hair, and her level was twelve rings, the highest level in the entire 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】. However, Flora said she only advanced last year, so she was actually not very powerful among the twelve rings.

Her appearance looked to be about thirty years old, but thanks to the long and long life of the winged race, her actual age was definitely older than Emilia's.

Xia De wanted to see them to learn about the news of his friends in the Fifth Era, so after a few polite words and sitting by the campfire in the center of the camp, Xia De went straight to the point amidst the crackling sound of firewood burning:

"I have already learned about your gains in the underground palace from the witches. It is really generous of you to be willing to give up that piece of tree bark in the stone box."

"Please don't say that, that secret treasure was not left for us in the first place."

Miss Laval said while holding a teacup, and the wings on her back were not very obstructive. Flora sat beside Xia De, and beside her was a girl with mermaid bloodline.

"The gains in the underground palace are a matter between you and the Witch Council, and have nothing to do with me. I just want to know, how much do you know about the leader of the Fifth Era who left you the woodland treasure information?"

Miss Laval nodded to show she understood:

"We know very clearly that it was a werewolf lady. In the Fifth Era, the living environment of werewolves was much worse than in the contemporary era, but that lady who chased the moon ascended to the thirteenth-ring level by relying on her pious faith in the moon.

I have also investigated the life information of that lady, but that era is too far away from now. The only thing that can be determined is that her surname is 'Bist'."

"Has she left any heritage in the Secret Cult?"

Xia De pursued, and Miss Laval nodded lightly:

"One of the heritages we possess is a strange art called 【Bist's Moon-Gazing Art】. This is a low-level strange art, and it only has passive effects. Once learned successfully, it can enhance the efficiency of meditation under the moon. But I can only determine that this strange art comes from the middle of the Fifth Era, and cannot determine that this is the legacy of Miss Bist.

After all, although this surname is relatively rare, it is not unique in terms of a thousand years."

When the witches contacted them, they had already told them in advance what the "God Caller" wanted to know, so Miss Laval had already prepared the information about that strange art and gave it to Xia De.

Although this was a heritage unique to them, whether it was out of gratitude to the Witch Council for helping to unearth the treasure, or out of the purpose of winning over the relationship with the "God Caller," this kind of gift was very necessary.

Xia De thanked her for her generosity:

"Then when you were sorting out the gains of that 'treasure' these days, did you find any other information related to Miss Bist?"

Miss Laval shook her head regretfully:

"Not yet. Although the translation of those unearthed stone slabs is still in progress, it is basically determined that what is recorded on them are only secret arts related to the moon and rumors of the Fifth Era. It's just that we are completely unable to translate the text on one of the stone slabs. Even if you didn't contact us, we would have mentioned that stone slab when we shared the gains with the Witch Council later."

She took out a photo again and handed it to Xia De, and since that stone slab could be photographed by a camera, it meant that the content on it did not possess supernatural power.

The stone tablet was photographed very clearly, and Xia De's "Text Comprehension" talent also immediately played a role:

【I run on the snowfield, chasing the moon in the night sky. But when I touched the path of the demigod, I gradually knew what I should really pursue.

I pursue the Primordial Moon in the long river of time. I am the person who chases the moon. As long as time has not reached the end, I will keep running forward. Not for faith, not for power, just because I am a werewolf who chases the moon. This is my freedom, this is my destiny.】

Very strangely, the last sentence below this text was not in the same language as the text above. Although Xia De could not say the origin of these two languages, the last paragraph was clearly more ancient:

【Xia De, have you found your Primordial Moon?】

There was also a small paw print next to this sentence, which looked like it was left by Miss Bist.

"Miss Bist is not dead, she is absolutely still alive!"

Xia De showed a knowing smile, this was his first thought after reading these contents. Looking left and right, expecting the gray wolf girl to jump out of the snow, but unfortunately he didn't see her.

After learning the story of Sibel Bist and the wolf girl's determination to chase the moon at the Alien Tree Academy in "Ash Valley," Xia De was very sure that she would definitely be able to go further than most witches in the future.

Seeing this stone slab specially left for him at this time, Xia De was more and more sure that the wolf girl had indeed walked out of her own path.

"Is she also like me, wanting to find the remains of the Primordial Moon?"

【But her purpose is different from yours.】

"She" said with a smile, and Xia De did not deny this:

"Yes, yes, Miss Bist has noble ideals and goals, and I just want to see that sage."

He continued to stare at the photo in his hand and the text on it:

"She said she is a person who chases the moon... The method the Tree Father gave me to obtain the third core spiritual rune is 'fully know one's own origin, and hold a rebirth ceremony at the place of birth'. One of the components of the rebirth ceremony is 'hair of the moon-chaser, pious faith'."

【Suspect it refers to her?】

"Yes."

Xia De looked up at the twelve-ring Miss Laval:

"I hope to get this stone slab."

He didn't say the reason, but the winged sorceress nodded directly:

"No problem, we have already brought that stone slab, you can just take it away in a while. I don't know what else I can do for you?"

Xia De also put the photo into his pocket:

"Regarding Miss Bist, I may contact you in the future. As for now, I am actually very interested in the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】. I and you are both ring warlocks who use moon spells, perhaps our exchanges will be helpful to both sides."

Xia De was quite confident only in matters related to the "moon." Even if he was not the thirteenth-ring person people imagined, he was confident that he would not reveal any flaws in communication.

Miss Laval showed a smile:

"We dare not compare with you, but we are very happy to exchange knowledge and experiences with you. The Secret Cult is not a very large organization, and the sisters gather together just because of their common faith in the moon."

Xia De nodded:

"We can communicate by letter through the Witch Council later, hoping everyone can gain something. But can you answer me a question? Why is your organization name 'Missing Moon', what does this mean?"

Miss Laval replied:

"One theory is that the three moons in the material world today have been split. The Primordial Moon only had that silver moon, so the moon we chase is the 'Missing Moon'.

But I personally prefer this theory—Missing Moon represents the regret of not being perfect.

We chase the moon, but know that it is impossible to catch up with the moon forever. This is regret. But we will not give up chasing the moon because of this regret. The meaning of 'Missing Moon' is to remind us, these moon-chasers, of our original purpose. We run for an impossible goal. This is our life, this is our destiny."

"I have actually always been pursuing a perfect story ending."

Xia De said, and Miss Laval smiled:

"Regret is also an important component of life, and I think even if it is you, there must be imperfect places in your life."

"The imperfect places in my life..."

He now has a three-story apartment in the capital of the kingdom, keeps a cute pet cat at home, and is respected by people regardless of his public identity or secret identity. The beautiful girls around him are all willing to follow him forward, and they don't have to worry about their livelihood even if they don't work.

The only regret... even if he had long since given up his original idea, even if he already knew that this was home. But the Outsider always knew that he had a hometown he could never return to.
