Chapter 3406

The star chart floats on the giant translucent page, as if this book contains the entire starry sky of the 【Silver Moon Library】. Of course, now there is nothing on it except the starry sky.

"I can control who can see this book; by default, only I can see it."

Xia De explains softly, looks at Daniste, and then moves his gaze to the top of her head.

Ms. Administrator asks uncomprehendingly:

"Then what is the function of this sorcery... Is there something on top of my head?"

She notices Xia De's gaze, so she also looks up, but of course, she sees nothing.

Xia De explains:

"In my eyes, there is now a glowing white mark floating above your head, and that mark is human-shaped."

Then he turns his head to look at the cat that is yawning. Noticing Xia De looking over, Little Mia immediately closes its mouth:

"Little Mia's head now has a cat pattern... So Little Mia really is a cat."

"If it's not a cat, what could it be? Since that's the case, go to the window and take a look."

Although the night is deep, there are still very few pedestrians on St. Deran Square outside the window at eight o'clock. Xia De stands by the window for a while and then tells the result:

"All pedestrians have human marks like yours on their heads. Someone was walking a dog just now, and I saw a dog mark on the dog's head, and a bird-shaped mark appeared next to the flying bird."

Xia De summarizes the first function of the sorcery - Fate Handbook:

"I can freely control whether to check the approximate species of the creatures my eyes see. For example, although you have elf blood, you are more inclined toward humans, so what I see is a human mark. Because of some things in the past, I could use similar means to distinguish vampires, and now this ability has expanded to all species."

Of course, this kind of "small mark" can be controlled by Xia De as to whether it appears or not, and it will not get in the way of his vision all the time:

"【Fate Handbook】 can help me record and interpret fate; this is a simple application of this function. After I deeply develop this sorcery, when I look at something, what I see should be more than just species; gender, age, and even true names might all be glimpsed at a glance."

The knowledgeable Ms. Administrator immediately discovers the use of this characteristic:

"It can allow you to distinguish impostors."

Xia De nods affirmatively:

"Yes, although it hasn't been tested yet, this sorcery associated with 【World】 can definitely easily distinguish impostors."

【Fate Handbook】 is a sorcery that has never appeared before, and its association with the 【World】 spiritual rune is even more unheard of:

"However, this is only the simplest application of this sorcery; it has other functions. Since it is interpreting fate, it means it needs to face 'fate' to interpret it. Is this perhaps a divination-type ability? Or, does it only show effects when facing attacks of fate?"

Xia De says while shifting his gaze from the 【Fate Handbook】 to the messy living room. When he obtained this sorcery, he rarely failed to immediately understand all the characteristics of the sorcery; after all, this sorcery was not learned by him, but given by an artifact:

"Let's tidy up the living room first... So, is this library trip a success or a failure?"

From the initial purpose, it is definitely a failure, but looking at the gains of the two, it is undoubtedly a success.

Most of the ritual materials have become unusable garbage, so tidying up is much simpler than setting up the ritual. They did not spend too much time in the library, so when they returned to Room 1, where the fireplace was still burning, it was not yet nine o'clock.

Xia De continues to test the abilities of 【Fate Handbook】. Besides helping Xia De see other people's species, he finds that this book also inherits part of the abilities of the 【Book of Ages】. When he asks Daniste to press her hand on the page, Daniste's information also appears, and it is still the case that the longer she presses, the more information is revealed.

It is just a pity that when her age is about to appear, she immediately takes her hand away and declares:

"The age-revealing function of both the 【Book of Ages】 and your 【Fate Handbook】 is wrong. I don't admit it, yes, I don't admit it!"

In this way, the abilities of 【Fate Handbook】 that have been explored so far are only "peeking at species" and "revealing information." Xia De does not conduct further experiments; he plans to ask Luvia for advice later:

"However, having been in this world for so long, I can finally click on the character card."

"She" smiles gently; she seems to be in a good mood tonight, just like Xia De.

Xia De prepares hot tea, and the two sit down in front of the fireplace to continue discussing the gains in the library, so Daniste thinks of the teacher's matter again:

"From the first time the library was opened until now, it has been exactly one year. This year, we investigated the Sun, Moon, and Star ritual in the Randall Valley, learned that the teacher had met Laplace Howard of Green Lake, I went to contact the believers of the God of Music, and also saw the teacher in the forest looking for the whereabouts of the astrologer Euclid.

Now that a year has passed, I have walked a circle, and everything has returned to the starting point. Except for the ancient moon tower on Mount Kalas, we still know nothing."

She says softly, her tone very low while holding the teacup, but Xia De thinks they actually already know many things:

"We know the places Ms. Helena Carter had been before she went missing, investigated that her cause of death was a time curse, learned that she was exploring the secrets of the ancient Moon God, saw the letters she left in the library, and we even received help from that lady directly in the forest and fought side by side with her during the Battle of the Forest.

Daniste, don't be discouraged. Although we seem to have circled back to the starting point after walking the whole way, we have gained a lot along the way."

And what Xia De cannot say at the moment is that next Saturday is the last day of the Month of Birth, and then Xia De can finally go to see Adele of the past life again. And the next black key challenge has been anchored to that 【Curse-Eaten Great Tree】 since last year, which is the evil object that Ms. Helena Carter's body turned into in the past life.

The red-haired Ms. Administrator gives a soft "Hmm," and after putting down the teacup, she shifts from leaning on his shoulder to lying in his arms:

"The teacher followed the footsteps of the astrologer Euclid from a hundred years ago to Mount Kalas, so the clues of the astrologer have been cut off for the time being. The library needs another year to open, but I don't think we can gain any useful clues from it anymore. So next, we can only go to Mount Kalas ourselves. If we still can't find it there..."

Actually, there are other ways. Luvia's special divination can definitely provide some more clues. But based on Xia De's understanding of Luvia, although she is quite indulgent toward most of Xia De's behaviors, the purple-eyed girl would likely not agree to wasting coins on "unimportant" matters.

The starting point of everything seems to be the end point—Mount Kalas, which has become a place that must be visited immediately. But just at this moment when Xia De is silent and thinking, Daniste suddenly says:

"Just now the teacher told us about the secrets of the Ancient Gods. Put this way, the teacher had discussed similar topics with me before she went missing. But not all the Ancient Gods, but the relationship between the God of Fate and the Sage. She mentioned at that time that the trajectory of the starry sky indicates fate, so we Ring-Warlocks of the Moon lineage, even without training as diviners, can know the future through astrology.

Just now when we were setting up the ritual, you said Laplace Howard had been to that snowy mountain, and you also found the notebook he left behind. So, could the teacher have also been to the Fatumonster Snowy Mountain?"

This question jumps too much:

"I cannot answer this question. Perhaps you can look up Ms. Helena Carter's travel records when she left the academy again."

She purses her lips and says nothing more. She has checked the teacher's travel records many times, and of course, Fatumonster Island is not among them. Feeling a bit annoyed in her heart, she slides down from leaning in Xia De's arms to lying on Xia De's lap, forcing Little Mia to migrate to the back of the sofa.

Rose-red eyes look at Xia De from below:

"If the teacher were as worry-free as you, that would be great. I heard them say that every time you go out, you tell at least one girl where you are going, or at least leave a letter at home so that everyone doesn't worry, and take care of the cat for you by the way."

The topic turns to Xia De, so Xia De reaches out and touches her long red hair:

"When we see that lady and use the ritual I obtained to let her be reborn from the seeds produced by the tree, you can complain to her face to face."

So Ms. Administrator finally reveals a calm smile. Although the desire to find the teacher is still urgent, at least she knows that there is someone she can rely on:

"I definitely will. This habit of going on adventures without leaving a message is absolutely not worth advocating."

Rose-red eyes meet the eyes of Xia De, who is looking down, and Xia De suddenly understands what she is thinking at this moment.

She says exactly that:

"Xia De, although we still didn't find clues in the end, this time opening the Sage of the Moon's library is still considered a quite successful action... Actually, a celebration activity is not impossible."

Then before Xia De answers, she smiles again:

"It seems you think so too, my neck can already feel it."

The Outlander is a bit embarrassed, but after thinking carefully, there is actually nothing worth being embarrassed about:

"Although this sounds a bit like sweet talk, this is proving that your charm is very great."

She smiles with a blush on her face;

"I like such sweet talk. You have worked hard for the teacher's matter all along. Although there is still no result, it is worth celebrating for the path we have walked this year. Let's have some appetizers first, the night is still long, may the silver moon and the starry sky of all things... shine upon us."

She does not sit up, but turns around directly. After the rustling sound, Xia De takes a deep breath.

"Definitely not two years old, definitely not two years old."

Someone at this moment is still constantly comforting himself in his heart; that is definitely not Xia De, and of course, not the cat.

The "Red Moon" among the three moons symbolizes flesh and reproduction in occultism, so the Moon Goddess and the Great Mother Earth, who has the power of "harvest," actually both have the symbolic meaning of protecting women in breeding offspring.

The witch of the Red Moon shows Xia De tonight that she actually understands the meaning of the Red Moon in this regard very well. The activities during the Year-End Festival when she was with everyone taught her many things, so she showed these to Xia De alone in the bedroom at No. 6 St. Deran Square that night.

Red hair is draped down. Although Galina and Lei Lei Qianya also have red hair, when the Cavendish women shake their long hair under the moonlight outside the window, they are not as much like a "goddess" as this Ms. Administrator.

Even without the "tending toward perfection" characteristic of the witches, the Thirteenth-Ring female warlock is still perfect in Xia De's eyes—the eighteen-year-old state is youthful and energetic, while the true form is gentle and intellectual.

But even though the Red Moon has two different forms, it is still no match for that silver moon. The silver moonlight dyes the Red Moon into a silvery white from inside and out. Even though the Primitive Moon has split, the Silver Moon still displays its most primitive desire at night.

However, Xia De also has to admit that when Daniste whispered and called him "teacher," he really couldn't control himself.
