Chapter 3461: The Footprints of the Astrologer

"If it's just borrowing to watch, and it won't hurt Ellie, I have no opinion. Of course, this matter still needs Ellie's own consent."

Xia De answered Miss Jia Lin Na, and Luvia said with a smile:

"Actually, most girls have dreams related to unicorns. They are indeed dreamlike creatures."

"I know one of Princess Lei Qianya's dreams is to have one on the back of a unicorn with Xia De."

Miss Jia Lin Na pointed out, and Xia De was almost choked by the vegetable soup, but neither he nor Luvia doubted the authenticity of what Miss Jia Lin Na said.

After breakfast, everyone started their busy day. Xia De first went to Saint-Byron. Emilia was arranged for a full day of "Unicorn Feeding Practice Class" today and would not go to Fatumont Island until the evening, so Xia De came to see Danister.

"Environmental impact of the House of Pseudo-Humans?"

After hearing Xia De's plan, the manager lady arranged for the unicorns to go to the island to help, which was not difficult, as they were willing to go themselves. As for resisting the internal environmental impact of the architectural Sage-level relic, this belonged to the research category of their Library Management Academy:

"Architectural relics like 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 and 【Sin Mansion】 have special internal influences, which belong to the basic characteristics of such relics. And in order to try to contain such relics, this influence has to be studied.

The academy has summarized some simple rules for this. Generally speaking, if the time spent deep in such relics is not long, then asking the Orthodox Church for some sacred artifacts and amulets to carry on your body will do. If you go deep into the core area of the relic, then it needs to be discussed by category."

She didn't continue to tell Xia De about those academic research results, but gave the conclusion directly:

"Since you mentioned the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, I mentioned this topic at the professors' lunch. Although the academy currently does not have a team specifically studying the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, past research results do exist. Combined with those materials from the 【Church of Creation】, the simplest method is actually to transform the life form. Since the flesh body is limited, then become an elemental form."

"Oh?"

Xia De really forgot that there was such a method, but among the witches he knew, only the transformation master Flora could easily complete such a transformation:

"I remember that some potions can also make the flesh body temporarily elementalized, but such potions are not easy to make, and the duration of the transformation effect is not long."

Danister continued:

"In addition, some unique relics can also suppress the flesh erosion effect inside the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】. Using relics to restrain relics is a very common means. The academy contains a Keeper-level relic called 【Stubborn Stone Hat】. The effect of this relic is to make the wearer gradually turn into stone.

But later, through research, the speed of the wearer's body transformation can be limited by certain means. Wearing this hat under such conditions can greatly enhance one's own skin defense effect, especially the defense effect against wonders, and resist almost all flesh toxins and curses. Therefore, although the hat is a Keeper-level relic, it can very well restrain the internal influence of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】.

After you decide on the action time, I will wear this hat to help you."

Ellie is protected by the council, witches can all act with Xia De, plus the unicorns and Danister, that should be enough.

"No problem, the preliminary action time is set for Sunday after the All Souls' Festival. If it is Sunday, it would be best, and it won't delay your affairs at the academy."

Xia De said. Danister actually wanted to suggest that Xia De still act on Tuesday, so that if he encountered danger, he could go to the old god of the past for help. But since Xia De was anxious to solve the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】, she didn't say anything more.

Xia De gently pushed away the red-haired manager lady who was hugging him, and said very formally in the latter's puzzled eyes:

"Say something important—last night, because of inexplicable reasons, Luvia walked the pilgrim's path, and she found that Unknowable-level relic 【Pedestal of Fate】."

"Congratulations to her... then what do you mean by pushing me away?"

"Not only did she find something valuable at the end of the pilgrim's path, but I also found a book left by Mr. Astrologer Euclid there at that time. Yes, although Ms. Helena Carter might not have been there, that astrologer from a hundred years ago did indeed go there."

Danister froze for a moment, took a deep breath, and asked:

"Well, this is really a pleasant surprise. Then what is written in the book left by that astrologer?"

"That book is called 'Relics of the Moon'. I flipped through it a little before coming here this morning. Judging from the description on the title page, this book was unearthed from an ancient tomb of the Fourth Era by a witch empress visiting the academy at the end of the Fifth Era. It records information about various moon-related relics of all sizes in the material world.

Although the age is long, and the geographical map of the material world has changed too much from the Fourth Era to the present, most of the information on it has expired, but it still records things about the 'Karas Mountain - Moon Tower', and Mr. Euclid also made notes on it."

Xia De took that book from the bookshelf beside him and handed it to Danister:

"This book has 78 pages in total, and the description of that moon tower is on pages 50 to 53."

She almost turned to the corresponding page at once, pursed her lips, and browsed quickly. Five minutes later, she put down the book.

The book "Relics of the Moon" did not classify the moon relics around the world. The book just described those relics in the order of the author's travels, so this book could also be seen as a travelogue of that Fourth Era scholar.

The era when the author of the book reached that tower, the tower was of course not yet collapsed, so the other party described the situation inside the tower in more detail. And the only supernatural nature of the tower in the author's pen was that the moon observed in this tower was more real and clear.

The author investigated the origin of the tower and believed that the style of this tower was different from other moon relics he had seen. From the specifications of ancient moon sect temple-type relics, this tower was unremarkable, but the traces of patterns remaining inside and its high-grade moonstone building materials all showed that this tower was very special.

The author even found some murals and sacrificial terms for the worship of the "sun" inside the tower. Although the two ancient gods were sisters, the ancient scholar had never heard of such clear and readable traces of sun worship appearing in other moon relics.

In short, this tower looked full of doubts. Although the ancient scholar did not solve the mystery until the end, he recorded what he saw and his thoughts.

And so, Mr. Euclid, who got this book a hundred years ago, also wrote down what he knew and his thoughts. In the blank space on the edge of the page, he supplementarily wrote:

【Regarding the observation advantage of the moon, it is suspected that there are remains of the original moon inside the tower, to be verified.】

【Joint worship of sun and moon, perhaps indicating that the construction of this tower is also related to the Sun Cult.】

【The ancient scholar's investigation date was at the turn of autumn and winter. The moon phase calculation result shows that this is not the best time for moon watching.】

【Perhaps carrying the Philosopher's Stone will help me find the secret of that tower.】

【The description here is consistent with the description of "Moon Chasing Record" of the 【Missing Moon Secret Cult】.】

【No spatial anomaly characteristics mentioned, inconsistent with the estimate.】

And at the end of the description of this tower, Mr. Euclid left three sentences that were clearly written at different times. First was the first sentence:

【The relic tower itself does not possess special characteristics. Its exploration priority is temporarily marked as: Low.】

Then there was a sentence written in ink of a different color. This sentence should have been written a long time after the previous one:

【Got help from a friend, saw the "Moon in the Water" contained by the Zalas Literature Academy. The secret of the Karas Mountain tower might be in the water or underground. The relic part on the ground is just a moon in the water, meaningful but not real. Exploration priority marked as: Medium.】

The last sentence used dark blue ink, and I don't know how long it had been since the previous sentence:

【The Fate Temple of Fatumont Snow Mountain gave me guidance. Perhaps the answer I want is Karas Mountain, but I need more evidence. Expected to visit the Tobesk Haunted House next year, hope the guidance of the poem fragments will be helpful. Sage, are you really ■■■■■?】

The last half sentence was deliberately blackened. Because the original copy of this book remained in the snow mountain, Xia De could not figure out what was written here. However, even if he got the original copy, it would probably be useless. Since the astrologer didn't want people to see the last half sentence, he would definitely find ways to prevent all means of prying into secrets.

"Xia De, what has this astrologer been looking for all along?"

After a moment of silence, Danister asked. Xia De actually knew the answer to this question:

"It seems to be looking for traces related to the Sage of the Moon, and it's not ordinary traces. He said in the letter left at my house that he was looking for the tower where the moon was buried (Chapter 1088). Perhaps, he was looking for the remains of the original moon? I know the largest remains are in the library we went to last week, but there are many other small remains in the material world... or what he was looking for was the traces left by the Sage when he left, just like there are many diviners on a pilgrimage to the last place where the God of Fate descended."

After a pause, Xia De said again:

"The records left by the astrologer on this book roughly explain that he determined step by step that his final destination was Karas Mountain. The fact that this book was left at the end of the pilgrimage on Fatumont Island can also explain his importance to this book. As for when he left this book, he should have been to Vesta Forest, but he definitely hadn't been to my house in Tobesk. The trip to the Fatumont Island snow mountain finally made him determine his destination." ===== CHAPTER 3462 =====
