Chapter 3402: Danister's Apprehension

In addition to the discussion about "House of Rebirth," the doctor also talked about everyone's course arrangements for the next semester at the group meeting this afternoon. Because the group members all applied for skipping courses after the winter exams, the academy's approval was officially issued after half a month of review.

So it's not just practical credits, everyone's learning pressure in other aspects this semester is also much heavier than in the past, but the benefit is that they can come into contact with knowledge and power suitable for them faster. In this way, when the summer exam week comes, it won't be just Xia De who has to face a lot of courses.

The doctor even said with some distress:

"Although I am nominally still at the middle-ring level, by the end of the summer exam week, I might have to apply to skip to the high-ring. If I remember correctly, the academy requires high-ring students to publish a formal paper every year, which is not easy to solve."

Xia De closed his mouth and didn't say that he no longer had this trouble.

The action against "House of Rebirth," which is "House of Pseudo-Humans," will be arranged by Luweiya next. Once the action time is determined, she will notify everyone immediately.

Everyone shared some of their own little things afterward, and the group meeting ended after four o'clock. When everyone was about to leave, Xia De stayed alone and asked the doctor to hand over the alchemy props in the shape of black metal dolls he had made to himself.

There are thirteen dolls in total, and Xia De can randomly scatter them all over Fatu Monster Island. These dolls can monitor the appearance of evil spirits and demons on the one hand, and can also forge the power traces of demon hunters to deter the demon on the other hand.

"Doctor, what I am more concerned about now is whether I will encounter things like Balrogs on the island again."

Xia De asked when saying goodbye to the doctor, and the doctor laughed:

"Arranging a Balrog on a snowy mountain? With an enemy with this kind of IQ, what are you still afraid of?"

He said it made a lot of sense, but the doctor also promised that even if he couldn't solve that big trouble immediately, he would use other ways to reduce Xia De's pressure:

"Then see you on Monday, this time we must destroy 【House of Rebirth】."

Dorothy and Raxia already knew that Xia De had important things to deal with tonight, so the writer lady separated from Xia De at the door of the doctor's clinic:

"Raxia said, just help her pick up goods from Mr. Copus and Old John tonight, so see you tomorrow, Xia De."

Priest Ao Gu Si also separated from everyone at the door of the doctor's clinic. Since he came to the East District of Tobesk, the priest planned to visit two believers who hadn't been to the church much recently to see the situation.

Only Luweiya and Xia De left by carriage. She still had to return to the Seer Society to work overtime:

"Are you sure you want to consume this opportunity tonight to enter the 【Silver Moon Library】 and contact the 【History of the Ages】?"

She fully understood what Xia De was going to do tonight. Xia De nodded when the carriage started slowly:

"My original plan was to explore the secrets of the moon, but now... the premise is that with low-level permission, I can contact that book. If I can't contact it, I will still follow my original idea and look up some records related to the original moon."

But Luweiya had different suggestions. She was seriously mentally traumatized after divination last night, so she didn't think about this matter carefully. But after sleeping with Xia De for one night, she was full of energy, and her ideas came up again:

"I don't understand, why don't you take this opportunity to find the high-ring sublimation words most suitable for you in the 【Silver Moon Library】? Unless the Chosen One of the moon appears, the opportunity to open the library can only be once a year. If you waste this opportunity, by 1856, you might already be at the 12th or 13th Ring."

Xia De also had his own reasons:

"When I came into contact with the treasure of the Fatu people—【Ice Jade】, I hoped to know my sublimation words, but what I saw was myself falling from a cliff at the end of some ruins on the top of the snowy mountain. So I think, maybe when I find that ruin and really fall from there, I will be able to know my high-ring sublimation words."

Now that I think about it, that ruin is highly likely to be some ancient god's temple hidden on the top of the snowy mountain.

Luweiya was quite surprised by this:

"Do you trust fate more than the moon?"

"She" in his ear smiled gently, and Xia De was also stunned:

"Of course not, I just... shouldn't I trust fate?"

"Of course you can trust it, but things like high-ring sublimation words cannot be careless. According to my idea, since you can turn any spirit rune into a core spirit rune after completing the so-called 'newborn ritual', the matter of sublimation words is actually not urgent.

So it's better to check it on the moon first, and then find an opportunity to listen to the voice of fate."

She gave her own suggestion:

"Try to contact the 【History of the Ages】 tonight. If it doesn't work, go check the high-ring sublimation words most suitable for you. If this can't be checked either, then go satisfy your curiosity and find some information related to the original moon."

Xia De thought about it. Although he regretted that he might not be able to understand the secrets of the moon this time, Luweiya was right:

"No problem, I will do this."

Saying that, he touched Little Mia's back gently. The feel of the soft cat was very good:

"But speaking of which, the group of five, except for Priest Ao Gu Si who is currently at the 6th Ring, we are all already high-ring. Dorothy's sublimation words will use "Snow White," and the doctor also had his own arrangements when he lived in the forest last year. My sublimation words should be obtained from the library or the snowy mountain. Then what about you, Luweiya, how do you arrange your high-ring sublimation words?"

The purple-eyed girl shook her head:

"Still looking, a voice in my dream gave me an opinion, but I feel it doesn't suit me. Wait a little longer, anyway, there is no rush. Besides, if I really need to go to Fatu Monster Island to find the traces of the pilgrims, maybe that road can bring me inspiration."

The Seer Society was quite busy this week because of the pseudo-human matter. Luweiya and Xia De had dinner together and went to work overtime again. She had heard that Danister was coming to the house tonight, so she asked with a smile:

"Then after I get off work, I will return to the apartment directly. Do you need me to help take care of Little Mia?"

Xia De turned to look at the cat standing on the stairs, seeing that it was staring at him with innocent amber big eyes, so he shook his head:

"It's okay, let Little Mia stay at home."

The sun had set. Xia De set off for St. Byrons after preparing three moon stone slabs and 【Source of Chaos】. When he saw the librarian in the library, she was already standing by the box containing ritual materials waiting for Xia De.

So the boxes were moved back home by Xia De one by one, and then the red-haired witch hugged Xia De's arm, watching Xia De throw out the crystal shoes.

"Welcome."

Xia De stood in the kitchen on the first floor and smiled. Danister nodded gently, looking both nervous and apprehensive. When Xia De took her upstairs, she asked on the stairs:

"If..."

Xia De turned around and looked down at her:

"If we can't find it, we will go to the Karas Mountains to look for it ourselves. After the stories of Green Lake Island and the snowy mountain, I have also gained some experience in finding hidden spaces."

The ritual of "opening the silver moon gate" has venue requirements, and must be held in the "moon sanctuary" of the "library or study scene." This time, the same location as last year was chosen, which is the living room of Room 2, Floor 2, No. 6 St. Deran Square.

The ritual time has no specific requirements. It is fine at any time of the night without thunder, and the sky in the Tobesk area is clear tonight. So after Danister followed Xia De upstairs, she and Xia De immediately began to arrange the ritual in Room 2, Floor 2.

Mercury runes were densely painted on the floor of the living room, and ritual items symbolizing the "moon" such as silver mirrors and jade were filled between the ritual runes strictly according to the stars tonight.

The ink mixed with precious materials "Stardust," "Moonlight Water," and "Night Curtain Fragments" was written with ancient prayer spells under the hands of Miss Danister, and the brush she used was made of the most powerful hair on a unicorn's tail.

"Mercury is poisonous, you can't run around."

After Xia De warned Little Mia, he also helped arrange the ritual. The candles were lit by him using moon fire, and the blessed holy silver was re-melted and shaped after careful wiping.

Laurel and olive branches had been entrusted to pure elf girls for preliminary processing in advance. At this time, they were decorated on the gradually forming high platform by Xia De; the moon sanctuary emblem carved from moonstone and white crystal matched with holy silver was embedded on the side of the high platform in turn.

As for the core item of the ritual, which is the symbol of the "gate," a silver mirror with 1300 years of history was used last year, but the mirror shattered after the ritual. Last year, the outsider didn't have enough knowledge, but now he knows Emilia, so he knew the current situation of the modern elf race.

For modern elves, a mirror with 1300 years of history is not precious at all. They have many similar things. So this year, a silver floor mirror with elf craftsmanship with a thousand years of history was used. Dense elf runes were wrapped around the frame on both sides of the mirror. These runes wrote praise for the moon. The aesthetics of the elves are really high-end.

Although the ritual is expensive, it is very worth it for both Xia De and Danister. Xia De also asked the librarian if he needed to bear half of the ritual cost when preparing the ritual, and then he was given a white look by Danister:

"Although I am not any school director, I am also very rich after inheriting the teacher's legacy. And, I will not be the first girl to take money from your pocket."

The arrangement process of the ritual didn't have any accidents. Out of caution, Danister didn't use the extra materials she prepared. And when Xia De looked out from the window, the night in Tobesk was very calm. There was smog floating in the city as usual, but there was still no sign of thunder or rain.

After everything was arranged, Danister Gustav compared the wordless black book that recorded the secret of the "Silver Moon Gate" for the last time to ensure that the ritual was correct, and then checked the time:

"It's eight-ten... Let's start directly."

Her expression was still a bit apprehensive, after all, this was the last attempt she could think of.

Xia De held her hand:

"Of course, there is no need to wait any longer."

He waved to the wall with his other hand, so the three moon stone slabs flew over, and the cat squatted on one of them and came to Xia De's side.

The two looked up at the high platform standing in the center of the mercury ritual base array. Three thin rune lines extended from under the high platform, drawing three circles distributed in a triangle inside the ritual base array.

As if gaining power from Xia De's palm, Danister took a deep breath and separated from him, coming to the circle on the far left. Xia De came to the circle on the far right, and then threw the "Source of Chaos" toward the last circle.

So the round treasure bead fell toward the circle like an iron block attracted by a magnet, and then floated above the floor.

In the sound of whistles and bells, the fate rings of the two sorcerers appeared behind them. With the spiritual light of the 【Red Moon】 and 【Silver Moon】 spirit runes, the light of the yellow moon represented by 【Source of Chaos】 also shone toward the silver mirror in the center of the ritual.

The silver mirror became somewhat illusory in the three rays of light that overlapped, and the scenery of Room 2, Floor 2 in the mirror's reflection also gradually changed into the scene of the three moons floating in the starry sky.

Danister tried her best to control her mood and threw the wordless black book that recorded the secret of the "Silver Moon Gate" toward the silver mirror on the high platform. As the book entered the mirror, the mirror shattered in a harsh sound.

In an instant, white thick fog gushed out from every shattered mirror fragment,

"Success."

A moment later, the familiar white fog gradually dissipated, and the high platform originally located in the center of the room had disappeared. The silver metal double-door, shimmering with the radiance of stars and the moon, stood just like that on the floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, surrounded by the fragments of that shattered antique silver mirror.

The top of the door touched the ceiling directly, and a faint silver moonlight radiated naturally. It was so sacred, so beautiful, and so charming.

On the holy silver metal door, one side depicted the trajectory of tonight's starry sky and the moon, and the other depicted a white-robed sage sitting on a high stool. Consistent with the card face of 【All-Encompassing Impermanence · Silver Moon】, that was a lady who was turning her head, whose appearance could not be seen clearly. She held the moon in one hand, and the background was bookshelves scattered at different heights.

Xia De, Danist, and Little Mia all watched this door quietly. Although they had seen it once before, Xia De still felt that he had subconsciously held his breath.

It was not until Little Mia let out a "Meow~" that Xia De and Danist came back to their senses. At this time, silver light dust had filled the entire room. Xia De realized that the situation at this time was a bit different from the first time, because as the light in the room weakened rapidly, those light dusts actually formed a brilliant galaxy in the room.

The magnificent scenery also made Xia De stunned:

"Could it be because I used Moon Fire this time?"

Not only that, the door of the "Keeper of Secrets Hall" on the living room wall and the door of the "Corridor of Time" of the master bedroom door actually all manifested themselves actively in those light dusts flying all over the room.

Among them, the door manifested by the "Keeper of Secrets Hall" was a wooden door built of countless books, while the door of the corridor had a clock pattern carved on it.

Danist also discovered this point, but after looking left and right, she did not comment:

"Let's go."
