Chapter 3531

"The prophet took the destined weapon to find the king, it sounds very story-like, it would be better if there could be a sword inserted in the stone... then did he succeed?"

"No, when he took the scepter to find the so-called 'Destined King,' the Fourth Era ended, and the era of witches began."

Mr. Edmund shook his head with a smile:

"So this scepter was passed down. However, that prophet still had some skills, and this scepter is indeed unique. Only those with the royal blood of the current era can best use it. Usually, spell-casting catalysts enhance Thaumaturgy and incantations in specific aspects. This scepter can amplify power related to order and chaos."

Then he pointed to the wand head where there should be something:

"The thing here was not hidden by me. The prophet at that time did not place any gems at all. This is also a feature of this scepter. Most minerals or artificial gems with elements can be placed here, making this magic wand have one more direction of enhanced Thaumaturgy and incantations when used as a spell-casting catalyst.

So you can find suitable gems for that princess to place on it yourself, which can also reflect your intentions. Although I don't know the relationship between you and that princess, this gift is definitely suitable."

This magic wand is indeed very suitable for Angelina, and even the size is very suitable. Besides Emilia who has a "Tree Wand," the only person around Xia De who often uses a magic wand is Xivi. The Great Witch of Light told Xia De about the classification methods of short wands, long wands, etc., and this magic wand is a typical long wand.

"Okay, I bought this too, let's calculate the account together in a while. Speaking of which, does it have a name?"

"Of course it has—King of Promise. The prophet claimed that this scepter was waiting for the human king arranged by fate."

Mr. Edmund does not have suitable gems here, and Xia De still needs to find them from other places. Of course, it is most convenient to condense a silver gem with moonlight and place it on the wand head, but Angelina is not good at the power of moonlight, and Xia De feels that there is no need to directly place "Moonstone" for convenience and laziness.

However, he can prepare one for Angelina to use as a backup. After all, the gem installation of this magic wand is very convenient, and it can be directly adsorbed when placed on it. Usually, magic wands also need the tuning of the wand body and gems, which requires alchemists to prepare for a long time, so the wand head cannot be changed at will, but this magic wand is unexpectedly "plug and play."

Therefore, although it is not a relic, the price is still shockingly high. If it were not limited to "royal family members" only, Mr. Edmund would probably have sold it long ago.

However, for Angelina's birthday gift, Xia De does not feel distressed about the price of more than two thousand pounds.

Considering that Claire is an expert in the field of artificial supernatural gems, and Angelina aspires to become a witch, Claire should be able to make gems suitable for her, so Xia De plans to ask Claire for help.

The 【Cinderella】 Misuo can now bring living things home, so when Xia De arrived home, the two haddocks in the bucket in his hand were still alive and kicking. Little Mia walked over with interest to check, and after finding that it was a fish in the bucket, she turned and left—this cat does not like to eat fish.

Xia De took one of the fish to Moon Bay. When buying materials from Mr. Albert, he gave the fish to him. At lunch, the coroner can take the fish to the nearby Spider Tavern and let the tavern chef help process it.

As for the other fish, it was taken to Kyle-Todd Town by Xia De. Claire was not interested in fish, and she even complained to Xia De:

"After coming to the island, I eat fish almost every meal. I know this is already a very good life, and the chef's craftsmanship is not bad. Stella and the others all like meals of various fish. But I have been eating fish here since I was a child, and I have long been tired of eating it, so I don't want to live in the town for a long time."

Her dislike of fish is very similar to Little Mia, who was forcibly brought out by Xia De. Xia De remembered that they were both related to the sun, and could not help but reveal a smile.

And while waiting for lunch, Claire also told Xia De a good news:

"I have negotiated with the moon. She said that as long as I get her this amount of 'Water of Moon Essence,' she can trade the magic item 【Moon Phase Whisper】 to me."

Claire gestured a number, Xia De calculated the amount of Water of Moon Essence stored at home, and nodded:

"No problem, after lunch in a while, I will go home to get it. But how are you going to trade? Is that witch coming to Fatumunster Island?"

"Of course not, Aurora still has some private matters to deal with. Sylvia said she can help deliver and pick up goods. She is really, everyone used to ask her for help with this kind of running errands, but she never agreed, but when it involved you, she performed so actively."

The content of lunch included the fish Xia De brought from Coldwater Port. Because there were many people eating lunch together, Xia De only got a few pieces of meat from that fish. And although Claire said she didn't like to eat fish, she still tasted a few bites.

The white-haired girl thought this was because the fish was brought by Xia De.

After lunch, Xia De went home to get enough "Water of Moon Essence" and placed it in Sylvia's high tower. Sylvia would come to pick it up when she had time.

And after returning to the town, Xia De went to discuss with Claire about ordering gems. He also brought the scepter called "King of Promise" over to facilitate Claire to determine the size of the gems.

However, Claire had only heard of the little princess from the North, and she had not seen Angelina:

"Galina did mention that her grandniece intends to become a witch follower. That girl has very good talent, right?"

Angelina already had a third-ring level after the Year-End Festival. Considering that she only officially became a ring sorcerer during the Green Lake incident last spring, this promotion speed is not slow, and it can even be said that except for comparing with Xia De, Angelina is definitely a genius.

Currently, besides receiving education from the Zalas Academy of Literature, she is also being cultivated by Leicia and Galina at the same time. In terms of talent, Angelina is indeed very good at Thaumaturgy and incantations related to "chaos."

She can easily integrate two conflicting attributes of power and maintain a wonderful balance. And according to her own statement, she seems to have a wonderful talent that her power inexplicably increases when emotions and moods cause chaos in consciousness... Although she did not explain it very clearly, this is undoubtedly the reason why Angelina promoted very quickly.

Therefore, Xia De wanted to ask Claire to order a "chaos" attribute gem for Angelina to be inlaid on the scepter and given to her. Claire listened to Xia De's request seriously, but frowned slightly and said:

"Chaos is not an attribute; it represents disorder, the unknown, and mystery. I understand your request, but the kind of gem you mentioned cannot be made in half a week. I need to prepare materials in advance, select gems of suitable quality, guide the power to be infused into them, and finally need to test them.

Isn't that princess having her birthday next Monday? If you had ordered from me last autumn, you might have been able to catch up. Making special gems can actually be considered a unique alchemical technique. Half a week is not enough to even complete the preliminary material preparation."

"Then does a natural gem with chaotic properties exist?"

Xia De asked again, Claire thought for a while:

"It exists, but it is very rare, and it is not something that can be found in half a week. Moreover, even if it can be found, I do not recommend you to give gifts like this. Such items are usually extremely unstable. Ring sorcerers below the high ring had better not touch them. No matter how talented that princess is, I do not recommend her to touch such items at the current stage."

However, she also had other ideas:

"Since she is good at reconciling conflicting attributes, why don't I help you make two gems that are symmetrical in shape and opposite in attributes. After the two gems are fitted together, they can be placed on the top of the magic wand, but they will not react when they are not in an activated state. When she uses the magic wand, she can guide the spirit to reconcile the attributes herself."

Xia De nodded immediately:

"Claire, you still have ideas. No problem, just do it like this."

"Then what attributes should I choose? Life and death, holy and evil, fire and ice, or... sun and moon?"

After the Great Witch of the Sun asked, she blinked at Xia De. Xia De would of course not consider other plans:

"Of course it is sun and moon."

"That's good, I need your help later. You are needed to make that half-moon gem, and I will be responsible for the sun."

Afterwards, Claire went to select materials and polish gems excitedly. She took this matter to heart. And Xia De went to find Elder Harald again, and asked about Snake Fang again:

"I need another Snake Fang, I don't know if the tribe... what kind of expression is this?

No, no, the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 has not made a comeback, and no second piece of flesh created by the Old God has appeared locally. This time it is for my own private affairs, it is something outside Fatumunster Island. Absolutely, absolutely has nothing to do with anything on this island."

After Xia De mentioned "Snake Fang" before the All-Souls Festival, the elders arranged for people to flip through the literature, trying to find if there were similar records in the past. Nowadays, the Fatum people only inherited the way of making special "Snake Fang weapons," and pushed through the old to bring forth the new to make "Snake Fang bullets," but this is very different from the Snake Fang Xia De wants.

The incident of the 【House of Pseudo-Humans】 proved the effect of this special Snake Fang, so the elders were also very attentive to searching for information, so they did have some gains:

"A record about a special Snake Fang appeared on a very ancient snake skin scroll. It did not say the specific use of Snake Fang, but only said that the tribe obtained the Snake Fang rewarded by the snow mountain through sacrifice and offering, used to defeat strong enemies."

Xia De frowned:

"Still have to go to the Shadow of Helm to offer sacrifices? But the All-Souls Festival has ended, and this method is no longer useful."
