Chapter 3096: High-Ring Sublimation Language
After the chatting ended, everyone started their work for this Monday, but none of the four girls left.
Emilia took her backpack and went to the 【Hall of the Keeper of Secrets】 in Room 2 next door to read and review. Although the elf girl inherited the power of the Tree Father, she hoped that the Ancient God of Knowledge and Wisdom could protect her more;
Duo Luo Qian borrowed Xia De's study, intending to write her manuscript here today. She tried to adapt Xia De's series of adventures in the Vista Woodland into a new detective story after excluding mystical elements, so she needed to discuss the details of those adventures with Xia De from time to time.
As for Luweiya and Iluna, after Xia De brewed a pot of black tea, the three sat on the sofa in the living room and started the usual summary process after the Chosen's story ended.
"With Emilia as a candidate this time, we can be at ease. At least we don't have to consider whether the other party is controllable after supporting them."
Luweiya summarized, and couldn't help but sigh:
"If the remaining five Chosen could also be selected from the girls around Xia De, that would be even better."
"Witches always say that the probability of them becoming the Chosen is extremely low. Excluding witches and apprentices, there aren't many girls around me."
Xia De said while stroking Little Mia, who was very docile after being full, and Luweiya counted on her fingers for him:
"Excluding me and Lei Qianya, Duo Luo Qian, and Iluna who have already become the Chosen, there are still Siris, Dannister, Angelina, Margaret, and Helena Carter waiting to be reawakened by you. Iluna, help me calculate how many people this is?"
"Five!"
Iluna said with a smile.
"Meow~"
"Counting the magical cat Little Mia, that's six. And there are only five Chosen seats left!"
Luweiya then looked at Xia De with a smile, waiting for him to comment on this result. Xia De decided not to comment on this:
"Speaking of which, Iluna, you are about to be promoted to the tenth ring, right? Have you chosen your sublimation language?"
Iluna herself had three core spirit runes 【Hero】, 【Lucky One】, and 【Thunder】, plus the miracle 【Balance】 obtained after becoming the Chosen. She had no idea of obtaining extra spirit runes, so she had to choose the sublimation language before being promoted to the tenth ring.
The eighteen-year-old girl nodded:
"I've chosen it. I had an idea after the Battle of the Woodland.
My low ring used 【Hero】—the 【Hero】 of 【Chase】 and 【Light】, will eventually 【Break Free】 from the 【Shackles】 of fate;
The middle ring used 【Thunder】—the 【Fool】 of 【Dancing】 and 【Thunder】, will definitely 【Tear Apart】 the 【Poem】 of fate.
Now the high ring uses 【Lucky One】—the 【Lucky One】 of 【Holding】 and 【Hope】, will eventually 【Reverse】 the 【Direction】 of fate."
Iluna's fingers swiped in the air, and the golden sunlight wrote down the spirit runes one by one. Xia De and Luweiya looked carefully, while Little Mia stared at Iluna's fingers, and then turned to look at its tail.
Thus, as the cat's tail swayed in the air, it actually began to leave pieces of golden light in the air, but Xia De didn't see it:
"Similar to the first two sublimation languages, is it also a choice between 【Fate】 and 【Direction】?"
Iluna nodded:
"Yes, I feel that I really don't have the talent to touch fate, so choosing 【Direction】 is very good. And didn't your middle-ring sublimation language also include 【Direction】? Maybe you can help me then."
The eighteen-year-old girl smiled like a flower:
"Now the ninth ring already has the whisper—【Reverse】. This was obtained when I collected relics before leaving Tuobeisike for the woodland, so I will probably hold a ritual to be promoted to the tenth ring next week.
Do you know? The Orthodox Church has issued an announcement internally that it will significantly increase the treatment of church ring warlocks, and the cost of obtaining precious ritual materials or potions in the past has also been reduced a lot. This is really a good era."
"It's good not to choose 【Fate】."
Luweiya approved of Iluna's idea:
"We often say 【Fate is a double-edged sword】. The fate side symbolizes empowerment, allowing people to transcend their limitations and providing opportunities to create miracles; the other side represents bondage, forcing people to bear the price and face the consequences derived from choices.
It is right not to provoke fate, because people can never know what fate gives."
"Since the high-ring sublimation language is chosen, then Iluna, what is the situation of your life ring now?"
Xia De continued to ask. In the Battle of the Woodland, Iluna's life ring turned directly into a golden long spear, which was a "sunlight spear" that existed physically. This transformation was obviously extraordinary.
After the war, Xia De asked her in front of the "Doomsday Rift" in White Ape Canyon. At that time, Iluna only said that turning the life ring into a sunlight spear required consuming half of her spirit, and then using it for battle required paying more spirit, which was completely incomparable to her life ring-scale form.
"Luweiya also discussed this topic with me when we held the victory banquet. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened either."
She said, summoned her life ring, and then turned to grasp the shining golden long spear. At close range, Xia De even felt the rolling heat wave rushing toward his face, and looking closely at the long spear, the surface of the long spear was not completely smooth, but engraved with dense patterns.
Those pattern lines were straight. They didn't constitute any readable text, nor were they any kind of pattern; they seemed to be just pure decoration.
"Look, I have studied it myself, but I only know what kind of power this is, and I still can't say how it appeared. At that time, I only remember that I saw Emilia's eyes—I mean the larger Emilia—and then I seemed to see... in her eyes..."
Iluna showed a puzzled expression:
"I forgot, it seems like I saw a person different from me. Then I felt the soul resonating with something, and then the soul seemed to be melted by the scorching sun, and this sunlight spear appeared."
She suddenly felt the long spear in her hand sink, and then saw the naughty cat actually jump onto the spear shaft, stepping back and forth along the slender spear shaft very nimbly.
Xia De hurriedly hugged Mia away:
"Emilia told me that her time talent was also a bit out of control at the end of the Battle of the Woodland. Did you see some scenes of the future or the past?"
But Iluna didn't remember at all. However, Luweiya believed that no matter what, the refinement of power must be a good thing:
"Perhaps this is a manifestation of Iluna's talent as the 'Sun' Chosen beginning to reveal itself."
The eighteen-year-old girl shook her head hurriedly:
"Then are there too many Chosen qualifications that I meet? Balance, Death, Earth, Light, I actually meet four of the eight Chosen... If I have the talent of the Sun again, I will suspect myself, am I the protagonist in some novel?"
Luweiya smiled and picked up the teacup, while Xia De believed she was the protagonist. Since the first time he saw Iluna at the pet store door, Xia De had always felt as if all the light in the world was gathering toward her. She was the most shining lead actor under the spotlight on the stage. The Outsider was very sure of this point until now.
Of course, Iluna seemed to be able to obtain corresponding improvements from the stories of the Chosen every time. This time, although she didn't participate in the "Time War" or hatch the little tree in the Chosen of Time's story, she indeed traveled through time and space to learn knowledge—referring to the Ash Valley · Alien Tree Academy.
Plus, in order to obtain enough time resistance, she held a ritual in the temple of the God of Order, using the beacon acorn soaked in Xia De's blood to obtain different eyes, and her divinity-cast left eye together constituted different-colored pupils. So, at the end of Emilia's ritual, when the aftermath of the Ancient God's power swept across the entire woodland and temporarily suppressed the time collapse effect, Iluna actually also snatched power from it:
"My eyes have new traits: the brown left eye given to me by Xia De can see the limited past and restore what happened in a certain place; the golden right eye soaked in Xia De's blood with the power of the God of Order can lift some time abnormal states.
For example, if someone is time-stilled, I look at the other party with my right eye for a while, and the other party can get rid of this state in advance."
"This is already close to the 'Magic Eye' in the traditional sense."
Luweiya said, and Iluna nodded. Actually, compared to the so-called "Magic Eye," she wanted beautiful purple eyes like Luweiya's more.
The transformation of the life ring's form and the improvement of her eyes were just Iluna's most important gains. Other gains such as knowledge, combat experience, etc., although she didn't specifically mention them, each participation in such a great event was indeed a very big improvement for her.
Besides these things, Iluna also told Xia De and Luweiya that she planned to take a long leave next month to leave Tuobeisike, spend a week or two returning to her hometown to visit her relatives, and then rush back before the Year-End Festival.
Although Iluna was a Delarian, she was not a local of Tuobeisike. She entered the church for training after the Sun Church detected her talent when she was young, and was assigned to Tuobeisike to work after "graduation."
In fact, her parents and brothers and sisters were still living in her hometown, but Iluna's relationship with them was not good, so Xia De had never heard her take the initiative to mention anything about her hometown.
The reason for this was only known to Luweiya, who had deeply investigated Iluna's background. The diviner Miss had said that it was a very vulgar story of an ordinary small-town family. Iluna now just chose her own life, and her relationship with her relatives was limited to visiting once every year or two, which was actually good for everyone.
"Luweiya, you are also about to be promoted to the high ring, right?"
After finishing her own business, Iluna asked Luweiya while holding the teacup. The latter nodded slightly. Her four spirit runes of the eighth ring had also been gathered, and the promotion was only lacking the final ritual:
"However, I am not in a hurry for my sublimation language. I can apply for the qualification to view the Code of Sublimation of the academy and the society. But Xia De, Miss Dannister is urging you to decide your high-ring sublimation language as soon as possible. You must not forget."
