Chapter 3210
The characteristics of Angel-level relics are often incredibly complex; a single document's worth of data can potentially exceed the characteristics of ten Keeper-level relics. The characteristics of the 【Sword-Inheritor Brood Nest】 are just like this; it took Xia De five minutes just to speed-read through the dense text. And the content in the appendix is even more extensive than the data itself.
When the vampire clan, the Gormola clan, held this sword for nearly a thousand years, their research into it was quite profound. In general, its "Brood Nest characteristic" is the core power of this extremely dangerous relic, and all other characteristics can be viewed as extensions of this one.
And the weakness of this relic, which Xia De is most concerned about, is also in this containment record. Since it was Mr. Albert who requested this data, the vampire clan naturally would not hide any details.
"I really didn't expect it; the biggest weakness of this relic is actually mental and soul-based attacks. Who would have thought to use this type of attack on a sword?"
After reading the data, Xia De couldn't help but exclaim:
"Although the intensity requirements for mental and soul attacks are very high, the difficulty is still less than defeating that magic sword head-on."
Mr. Albert, who was to the side, had also already read this data:
"But mental and soul attacks can only allow you to defeat a single magic sword. If the opponent knows you have discovered their weakness, I'm afraid those swords will actively hide themselves. So, it is best for you to let all the magic swords appear together, and then solve them all at once."
As an Angel-level relic, the 【Sword-Inheritor Brood Nest】 also possesses the "indestructible" characteristic, but in a situation where there is more than one of this relic, its "indestructible" characteristic will be dispersed. Therefore, destroying it until only one remains before containing it is feasible.
It's just that the difficulty of destroying a single magic sword is also not small; to be precise, only a few specific types of relics can do it.
The vampires listed in the appendix a list of relics they knew of that possessed the ability to destroy "magic swords." The list grandly listed a full 23 relics, most of which were Sage-level or above. Xia De even saw a familiar name among them:
"【Night Watcher】?"
"Although the characteristics of 【Night Watcher】 are mainly aimed at those ancient evil spirits, its characteristics for countering evil are equally outstanding. In the hands of a sufficiently strong sword-wielder, 【Night Watcher】 is enough to sever the magic sword. This should be no problem for you."
Mr. Albert said, then saw Xia De reveal a somewhat troubled expression.
"What, is it inconvenient to use that sword?"
"Yes, because there seems to be a demon on that island. I will try to see if I can find other relics. Mr. Albert, you have really been a huge help this time; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to deal with that sword."
A smile appeared on the coroner's face:
"It is good to be able to help. If you have any needs, you can come to me at any time. Please remember, justice is everywhere, just like flowing light."
Although this relic containment record did not contain a method to actively find the location of the magic sword, the treatment methods, the way to sense the quantity, and the means to sever the magic sword given in the record were already very valuable.
Xia De asked Mr. Albert for some "Holy Blood" to suppress the magic sword's injuries, and only then did he throw the crystal shoe to go home for breakfast. At the breakfast table, he told the good news to the young ladies of the Cavendish family, as well as Luweiya and Silvia.
Silvia, of course, had long prepared to send Xia De to Fatumunster Island, and while Xia De announced the good news, Luweiya also told Silvia about that small regret:
"We must find the entrance to the 【Space Labyrinth】 located on the island as soon as possible. The appearance of the cultists already explains the problem."
Luweiya, Princess Lei Qianya, and Ajielina had all originally thought that the great witch of space would show a regretful expression, but they did not expect the young black-haired girl to show a somewhat ashamed expression.
"Silvia, what have you hidden?"
So Miss Jia Lin Na tilted her head and asked her colleague. Silvia first glanced at Xia De, then said embarrassedly:
"About that entrance... well, actually, there is no need to specifically look for it."
"What do you mean?"
Silvia lowered her head and looked at the bacon on the plate, her voice becoming softer:
"The entrance to the space labyrinth does indeed exist on the island, and I found it yesterday."
"What? Where? Why didn't I sense it?"
Seeing that Xia De was not blaming her but was curious, Silvia breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally thought about "enjoying" it for another week or two before saying anything; she didn't expect things to develop so quickly:
"Because that entrance was shielded. You couldn't feel the entrance at Saint Byrons because the Academy's power blocked the space; the entrance on the snow mountain is for the same reason."
"So, the entrance wouldn't be in your tower, would it?"
Miss Jia Lin Na asked again, and Silvia hurriedly shook her head:
"It's not in the tower. Xia De asked me the day before yesterday why that tower was built on the snow mountain, but the great witches of past generations had never been affected by the snow mountain. My answer at the time was that the original tower master had already arranged everything.
However, after Xia De left, I went to check the data again and found records in the library in the tower about the site selection of this tower by previous great witches. One of the predecessors wrote in her notes that the site was chosen here not only because the scenery at the top of the snow mountain is very good and the location is hidden, but also because there is something there that is very worthy of research."
She sighed:
"Then I followed the clues and read more notes left by previous witches, confirming that the 'valuable thing' refers to the fact that there was originally a small piece of ruins on both sides of the stairs on the snow mountain. The stairs that Xia De and I appear on every time we open a portal are part of the ruins.
The predecessor who originally chose the site on Fatumunster Snow Mountain discovered a strange existence near those stairs. So I explored a little yesterday; I didn't expect that as soon as I summoned the life ring and activated the space spirit rune, the entrance to the 【Space Labyrinth】 would appear. The tower's power shielded Xia De's sensing; that's about it, otherwise I should have discovered it long ago."
"So, in fact, many great witches have known about that entrance to the 【Space Labyrinth】?"
Luweiya asked again, and Silvia nodded:
"After I entered that hidden space, I saw notes left by the space great witch three generations ago. The previous witches tacitly agreed not to pass this secret down, but hoped that the juniors could perceive the existence of that strange space out of curiosity; this is a test for the juniors. And as long as the tower's location does not change, this secret will eventually be discovered again one day.
And as a reward, they left their respective research data on the 【Space Labyrinth】 in that circular hidden space. Xia De, if you want to see it, that data has already been transferred to the tower by me."
"So, among the space great witches of past generations, every few generations there would appear someone who knew the secret of the 【Space Labyrinth】, but you never thought about sharing this secret with the Council?"
Miss Jia Lin Na finally asked suspiciously, with an expression of "the great witches of the space lineage are disloyal generation after generation," and Silvia blinked at her:
"Look, didn't I just share this secret with you? I did what the predecessors of past generations did not do; this already explains the problem."
Then she said to Xia De with some grievance:
"I will take you there to see it in a while. From now on, every morning, you can set off for Fatumunster Island by yourself... remember not to miss me too much, let me stay in Wilundale and look at the gloomy sky outside the window, missing the sunny morning in Tobesk and the smell of the delicious breakfast in your home."
"Actually, Tobesk is also often gloomy."
Miss Jia Lin Na commented on her hometown in boredom, and under the table, it was unknown whether it was Luweiya or Princess Lei Qianya who kicked Xia De, but they had no need to remind Xia De:
"Silvia, don't be so discouraged. In this way, I won't have to trouble you every morning in the future. You can choose to come over at any time every day after this. First open a portal from Wilundale to the snow mountain, then walk through the 【Space Labyrinth】 from the snow mountain to here; the whole process should take less than ten minutes. This is definitely faster than going to the forest."
"Then, after I don't need to send you every day, you still welcome me to come to you to play at any time, right?"
Silvia asked expectantly. Xia De noticed that Miss Jia Lin Na seemed to roll her eyes; that action was exactly the same as when Princess Lei Qianya used to show a disdainful expression.
He nodded with a smile:
"Of course you are welcome; you don't need to doubt this point."
Today the cat still wanted to follow Xia De, and Xia De was also very happy to be able to take it out for a walk. So after breakfast, Xia De sent away the young ladies of the Cavendish family and Luweiya, and then went to the snow mountain with Silvia.
After walking out of the portal and arriving at the stairs under the tower, this time Silvia did not take Xia De up, but walked down with him against the strong wind at the top of the mountain.
Before, she was too lazy to clear the snow here, but this time, in order to let Xia De see clearly the ruins located under the tower, Silvia moved away all the surrounding snowflakes with space power while walking.
Therefore, after they walked down more than twenty steps, Xia De saw clearly the broken walls and ruins distributed on the left and right sides of the stairs. Calling them broken walls and ruins is not accurate, because all that remained here were some foundations and low stone fences; not even a wall higher than his chest position remained.
"The area hidden around the tower is really large."
He sighed softly, and the young girl with black hair pointed out:
"The notes of the predecessors say that this place used to be the temple of some Old God. It is a pity that in an unknown era of the Fifth Era, this place fell into decline, so now I can't say clearly who this place originally belonged to. The predecessors searched this place carefully and did not find any holy emblems, statues, or marks indicating any god."
