Chapter 3403
Xia De, carrying Mia, crossed the "starry sky" that emerged in the air with Danist and arrived in front of the holy silver door. The two of them recited the incantation written on the wordless black book together:
"May the original silver moon protect me under the starry sky of the long night."
Along the door crack from top to bottom, three rectangular grooves appeared in sequence, and so three stone slabs floated toward the two solemn and majestic doors in sequence, and snapped into the grooves perfectly.
Among them, the "Silver Moon Slab" was located in the very center, and the brilliant silver moonlight extended up and down toward the door crack with that slab as the center. When the moonlight completely soaked every inch of the door crack, silently, the door panel on the left depicting stars and the moon opened a crack. Of course, it was only a crack.
And behind that crack was the dense fog that Xia De was familiar with, writhing like white silk.
Danist grabbed Xia De's hand, and after nodding to him gently, the two walked in together.
The white fog wrapped around their bodies, and the warm feeling was as if they had returned home. The soul became sluggish because of the beauty of this moment, just as if throwing oneself into a soft bed after a day of exhaustion.
When dots of starlight slowly appeared in that white fog, "She" also welcomed them in their ears:
【Outlander, you have entered the "Silver Moon Library."】
Dots of silver light extended from under their feet toward the invisible distance, and so on both sides of that starlit path, the background of the boundless sea of stars appeared all around. Bookshelves outlined by starlight appeared as neatly as when Xia De cast spells, continuously expanding and extending toward the surroundings with the two as the center.
Under their feet, above their heads, front, back, left, and right, they seemed to be floating in the endless sea of stars at this moment, and all around them were those translucent starlit bookshelves.
Of course, Xia De's eyes were not looking at the bookshelves. Looking far into the distance, a huge silver moon floated above the sea of stars. And no matter where the field of vision moved, that silver moon always followed the line of sight, becoming a part of the library in the sea of stars.
"Her" voice was gentler than at any other time:
【Attention, because you entered the library using the ritual method, the library only opens the lowest level of permission to you:】
【Enter the library, clear some negative states.】
【Gain the "Dark Vision" state, lasting until the next sunrise.】
【Each entrant chooses one of the following options to execute:】
【(i) Limited to one time, query the library for history and stories recorded here;】
【(ii) Limited to one time, query the starry sky for things that will happen in the near future;】
【(iii) Limited to one time, seek a blessing from the moon;】
【(iv) Limited to one time, seek a limited request for help from the Sage.】
"Hmm? What is the situation with the fourth one? It wasn't there last time, and when I was in the lunar eclipse, I used special permission to enter the library, and there wasn't this one either."
Xia De asked with some surprise, and "She" replied softly:
【This is an option that can only be obtained by using all three keys to enter here. Last time, you only used the Yellow Moon slab.】
"Seek the Sage..."
【The power left by that Ancient God is just like the shadow of the "Father of the Infinite Tree."】
"Meow~"
The cat suddenly meowed for some reason, but the kitten's voice was still soft and pleasant.
The two hands held together did not let go. Danist's eyes were also looking at the silver moon in the "background" of the library at this moment. After a moment of trance, she asked Xia De:
"Entered again... You go first or I go first?"
This time she did not want to act separately from Xia De, so Xia De also gently squeezed her hand:
"We originally opened the library again for Ms. Carter's matter, this is naturally the first task."
A faint smile appeared on the red-haired female sorceress's face:
"That's good."
She stretched out her hand forward:
"I want to query the historical records: I want to know the location and related information when my teacher, the 'Moon Ringed Ringed Shushi' Ms. Helena Carter, died."
Although she had thought in advance that it was possible not to get a result, at least this time Danist was not disappointed. The silver translucent giant book flew in front of her eyes after three seconds.
She hugged the book, as if gently hugging a child. After taking a deep breath, she let go of it, letting it hover in front of the two:
"Xia De, let's look at it together."
The last time she opened the library, she found out that her teacher's place of death was Mount Caras, and she really found something before she died. At that time, Danist almost fainted in the library because she wanted to explore what her teacher had found.
But this time she learned her lesson and only looked for the location of her teacher's body, caring about nothing else.
And so the book opened the first page according to her wishes, and then the two saw that there was nothing on the translucent paper pages.
After looking at each other in surprise, the giant book in front of them flipped pages backward rapidly. Blank, blank, all blank. But just when the administrator lady's heart had completely cooled down and her head had lowered, Xia De shook her hand in surprise:
"There is writing on the last page of the book! It's flowery letters... This is Ms. Helena Carter's handwriting, it says here... Danist, she left you a letter! She also came here just like us!"
"What?"
The red-haired female sorceress immediately raised her head, and then looked at the letter that appeared in front of her as shocked as Xia De:
【Danist:
I am very gratified that you can find this place. This means that you, like me, have learned the greatest secret of the Moon God, and like me, have fully understood that the true meaning of the moon is not just moonlight.
I found that true library door, and after entering here, I have higher permission than you, so I erased the records about my death. It is not that I do not know your hope at this moment, nor is it that I do not hope that you and he will find me.
It is just that I want to tell you some things. These secrets cannot be recorded in words or text. Even in this library, they can only be carried on another blank carrier. So I erased the records of my death that you would inevitably come to look for, and wrote the secret in it.
This is the secret I discovered at the end of my journey. This is a secret that very few mortals knew even in the Mythological Era. When I wrote these contents, Danist, you did not have the ability to finish reading them, but I believe that you, standing with Xia De at this time, have already possessed the qualifications. My students, although the moon is no longer the original moon, some things have not changed to this day. Now, I hand it to you—
This is the shallowest secret of the Ancient Gods, but it is still a manifestation of the rules of the world.】
Danist read up to here and suddenly saw Xia De stretch out his hand to press on the content below. However, because this book was not requested by him, Xia De could not touch the book:
"She erased the information, which means she gave up a chance for us to find her and resurrect her. Ms. Carter must have wanted to tell us something very, very important. I have a premonition that the content below will be very, very important.
Last time I opened the library, I learned the important significance of Mount Caras and understood a series of things: your teacher, the astrologer Euclid, the fall of spring... We must be prepared."
He warned like this, and Danist's rose-red eyes met his, and after a moment she nodded gently:
"This is highly likely the information left by the teacher in the last period before she went missing. I understand that the teacher would not do meaningless things."
She and Xia De looked at the short paragraph behind together. That paragraph was also written in Delarion, but when the two understood the meaning connected by the letters and strings of letters, they both felt that what they saw was not text, but a part stripped from a mythological long scroll.
Regarding the deepest secret of this world, the secret that no one has known since the end of the Mythological Era, it was revealed to them in the Moon Library tonight. This is the knowledge passed down from the moon to the moon:
【The thirteen Ancient Gods symbolize the origin of the world. They are independent of each other and do not rely on each other, but there are also relationships between the Ancient Gods.
The twin goddesses of the sun and the moon are the supreme twin gods. They are the most powerful/important existences among the Ancient Gods. The alliance between the sun and the moon is the most unbreakable alliance;
The Keeper of Secrets, the Lurking Darkness, and the Serpent of Fate are the helpers of the Moon God; the Dragon of Radiance, the Hanging Judge, and the Mother of Earth are the allies of the Sun God;
The twin gods of time and space seem neutral, but the Tree of Time and the original cracks still respond to the power of the sun and moon;
The Ancient Death God is dangerous and mysterious, and He is as cold as the Moon God; the Chaos Witch is mysterious and dangerous, and a wisp of light from the Witch Council comes from the sun;
Finally, although the Creator is hostile to the twin gods of the sun and moon, He will not be an enemy of the world.
Danist, Xia De, I hope you can know all this and be able to learn more. The end is coming. Although the Ancient Gods have departed, the operation of the world still relies on the power They offered. Knowing this, you can have a deeper understanding of the stories of the Chosen Ones.
I am waiting for you at Mount Caras.】
Danist spat out a mouthful of blood, and the blood scattered in the vast starry sky, and she fell softly into Xia De's arms. When she woke up from the chaos of unconsciousness, she found Xia De's hand pressing on her forehead, looking at her with worried eyes, and Xia De was fine except for bleeding from his eyes.
"How long have I been in a coma?"
"Don't talk yet, it's only been two minutes. Can you feel it? The starry sky of the library is continuously replenishing moonlight for us, and the moon in the distance is restoring our spirits."
The red-haired female sorceress gave a soft "Hmm," and rested in Xia De's arms for a while before speaking:
"If it were me last year, I'm afraid I would have exited the library directly, but after knowing you, I found that I also had greater resistance to these ancient knowledge. The teacher was right, even if she left this knowledge to me back then, I would not be able to learn and watch. But teacher, teacher, what did she finally discover? Teacher, how much do you know?"
She felt that the more she pursued the footsteps of the "Moon Ringed Ringed Shushi," the more she felt that she was far away from her teacher. She thought she was standing with her teacher from the past, and even surpassed her, but now it seems that what she sees is still her back.
Both of their spirits and wounded souls were recovering because of the silver moon in the background of the library. The steam fog did not appear in the library for some reason, but their life rings all appeared silently at this moment. The large and small life rings collided with each other because of their proximity, and sparks splashed to decorate the starry sky, and the starry sky was also providing power for them.
That is the power of the golden miracle light. The lady of the past left behind the stories of the thirteen Ancient Gods. That is the miracle of the Ancient Gods, the first and most mysterious miracle.
? PS: Knowledge-Sage, Darkness-Night, Fate-Starry Sky, belong to the Moon; Light, Judgment and Order, Earth and Seasons, belong to the Sun.
? The next chapter will explain in detail.
? Regarding the twin gods of the sun and moon being the most powerful among the thirteen Ancient Gods, it seems to have been said before. Of course, the status of the thirteen Ancient Gods is equal, and there is absolutely no subordinate relationship. This chapter only explains the vague connections between the Ancient Gods.
