Chapter 3589: Wen Ni and the Moon Beast's Eye

~11 min read 2,128 words

But in the end, Miss Luo Wa Lei and the others did not delve too deeply into the reason for Xia De's trust in this non-human girl, because they discovered that the power of this girl with an extraordinary background was not strong. Although she could be counted as a high-level witch according to the level conversion, it was obviously much weaker than they had imagined.

To go to the 50th floor, one must pass through the 40th floor. Therefore, when facing the unknown adventure on the 40th floor, this girl who had just been rescued by Xia De and had some power but not too much, could obviously also serve as combat power.

At a time like this, having one more person to help was also good.

"Speaking of which, what is your name? How should we address you later?"

Miss Ge Er De suddenly asked again. The girl who was looking at Xia De turned to look at her, and then shook her head:

"I don't remember my name. You can choose a name for me as you please."

Miss Ge Er De then looked at Xia De, signaling him to choose a name. Xia De actually really wanted to try what kind of consequences a suggestion like "How about you be called Claire" would cause, but fortunately, he was not the type of person with a very heavy curiosity:

"Let's call you Wen Ni for now."

This was a very ordinary name, just as ordinary as "Mia" who was currently eating cat food in Xia De's palm, so Wen Ni nodded gently:

"What needs to be done next?"

Xia De finally took out that hard-won snake tooth and explained the function of the snake tooth and his own plan:

"Since I was able to bring it here, using this will most likely break the rune lock at the entrance of the 40th floor. However, the entire 40th floor is in an unknown state. We might not be able to find a rest area at all when we go up, so we must be fully prepared before setting off this time. I mean, prepared not to come back."

Except for the calm-faced Wen Ni, the expressions of the other three were different.

"Are we not leaving anyone behind to guard this place?"

Miss Ge Er De asked. Xia De shook his head:

"Once we complete the final task, the god will most likely be able to send us away directly. As for going to the 50th floor, Wen Ni and I can go together. You can just leave here directly when the time comes."

Besides, even if everyone followed him to the 50th floor, there was no need to come back.

Miss Ke En Si had no opinion on this. The demon had already been sealed, her wish had been fulfilled, and she had no other attachments here. Miss Luo Wa Lei looked at her right arm and also did not raise any objections.

And Miss Ge Er De, who had always taken good care of everyone, rarely shook her head:

"I will stay here. Please don't take away all the living supplies; I still need to find my mother. Following everyone to go up actually won't help much, and if you encounter other situations upstairs, you can retreat back here to rest."

"The others have all left; can you really survive here all by yourself?"

Xia De asked. Miss Ge Er De did not ask anyone else to stay with her:

"This is the last chance. Once I leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."

Her expression was very firm:

"If I don't find my mother, I won't go back."

Xia De certainly wanted to leave with his companions:

"We still have two keys in our hands. Since that's the case, let's use one key to exchange with the god for the guest list. If it's confirmed that your mother is on the 40th floor, can you go upstairs with us without any worries?"

"I can... but aren't you going to exchange for the Moon Beast's eye, and also exchange for the power to resist the falling stars?"

She knew Xia De had already helped a lot:

"Although I want to find my mother, I can't cause the death of the people who have helped me because of this. I am different from my mother."

She shook her head and wanted to refuse Xia De's help, but Wen Ni suddenly said:

"How can the keys you mentioned be obtained?"

"Locking back the guests who escaped from their rooms will earn them."

"Then if it is discovered on the 50th floor that I am actually a guest of Room 5012, you can lock me back."

Xia De would definitely not do this. In the end, Miss Luo Wa Lei made the decision:

"Let's go to the first floor to exchange for the guest directory first. After we solve the problem on the 40th floor, we will join forces to go to the lower floors to help Mr. Han Mi Er Dun get the third key, and finally everyone will leave together.

Although we are indeed not strong compared to the monsters locked in this hotel, at least we are not the weakest, right?"

"This is the best way, and I will also stay to help."

Miss Ke En Si also agreed with Miss Luo Wa Lei's idea. Xia De also felt that doing so was very good, but he needed to pay attention to his time:

"Miss Ge Er De, then let's settle it like this for now. I will go find the god to exchange for the guest directory, you get ready to leave together... Does anyone want to go to the first floor with me?"

But including Wen Ni, everyone shook their heads:

"We will be able to see the god on the 40th floor in a while, there is no need to go now."

The candles Xia De used the first two times had been completely consumed during his departure this time. Currently, the lighting tools in everyone's hands were only torches, a golden candlestick, and a new portable kerosene lamp with a glass casing that the witches had newly acquired during his absence.

Xia De went out with that new lantern. Little Mia was of course unwilling to stay behind, so Xia De stuffed it into the inner pocket of his coat. In this way, once he encountered danger, a light pat would turn it into a toy.

The elevator was just to the left of the safe room. Amidst the rumbling vibration, it carried Xia De to the first floor. Fortunately, this time the space behind the counter was not empty.

The god, wearing a robe but bald, smiled and waited for Xia De's arrival. After Xia De greeted him respectfully, he placed both keys on the counter:

"I want to make some trades on the first floor. First, I want to check the guest directory to determine the location of Miss Ge Er De's mother."

"No problem."

He didn't even take out anything to check, and gave the answer directly:

"On the 40th floor. Actually, the one who caused the current chaotic situation on the 40th floor is that female. What you are going to solve is the trouble she caused."

"Hmm... Since you know so clearly, why didn't you say so when you let us go to solve the trouble on the 40th floor?"

The god did not get angry because of Xia De's questioning, but he did not answer his question either:

"Then what do you want to use the second key for?"

"I once had a friend who visited here. She said she handed the Moon Beast's eye she had cleaned to you for temporary safekeeping. This key is the safekeeping fee."

Last time Xia De mentioned Miss Bi Si Te to the god, but the god did not say what he had in his hands at that time.

But since Xia De brought it up himself this time, he reached out and took a silver gemstone from under the counter and placed it on the counter table. This gemstone was in the shape of an eye, and it was very similar to those yellow snake-eye gemstones on Fa Tu Meng Si Te Island.

Even without anyone touching it, the gemstone was naturally emitting pure moonlight. The werewolf girl had indeed processed this eye, and Xia De could not feel any traces of pollution on it now. The "Moon Beast" was an evil object, but at this moment, there were only obvious miracle elements in the eye. Miss Bi Si Te's processing was quite appropriate.

He reached out and picked up the gemstone to check it, feeling his own moonlight resonating with the power of this eye.

The god reminded him again:

"You can replace your own eyes with it, or you can hold it to meditate to feel the power. Of course, if you treat it as a one-time consumable, you can not only obtain a large amount of Spirit in a short time, but also 'see' what this eye has seen."

This was what Xia De wanted. The werewolf girl said that this Moon Beast had seen the Primordial Moon with its own eyes in the Mythical Era. As for the extra Spirit, this was an unexpected joy. If the total amount of Spirit was enough for Xia De to fully activate a Wonder, then even if he didn't seek the third key, he could return directly to his own time.

"Then how to use this eyeball at once... Does this also need to consume a key?"

The god smiled and shook his head:

"No need. Aim it at the silver moon in the night, and then you look at it. Note, it must be the real and natural moon."

The stars were about to fall at the time point of return, and there was no moon there at all; as for this Whispering Hill, it was even more impossible for a moon to exist. So Xia De still had to leave here with the witches first and return to the real world of the Fifth Era together.

It was just that whether the real world was day or night, and if it was night, whether he could see the moon, these were all things that could not be determined. But Xia De did not dwell too much on these problems. He could clearly feel that the "Moon Beast's eye" in his hand contained the power to let him go further. He planned to wait until he finished the matter on the 40th floor before dealing with this.

"I have already found a way to break the barrier at the entrance of the 40th floor. God, do you want to go with me now?"

The "middle-aged man" behind the counter shook his head:

"Go ahead, I will wait for you on the 40th floor. Don't be too surprised when the time comes, you will understand everything."

So Xia De took the elevator back to the safe room on the 10th floor. He didn't spend much time going back and forth, so the witches were still packing their luggage.

Most of the remaining spellcasting materials, potions, and alchemical items in everyone's hands were found in this hotel. The "gold powder that can turn matter into gold" and the "golden apple that heals all wounds after eating" in the supplies left by the werewolf girl were also still there.

The news Xia De brought back also made Miss Ge Er De make up her mind to treat this outing as the final adventure. And while packing her luggage and preparing to set off, Miss Luo Wa Lei raised her own question:

"How strong is your mother exactly? According to your description of her so far, I wouldn't be surprised even if she were a demigod."

"When I last saw my mother, she was a twelfth-tier like you. Although I haven't seen her since then, she definitely won't advance to a demigod. I know my mother, she is not such a pure person.

She sounds very strong only because she has mastered a lot of knowledge. When she was at the Za La Si Academy, my mother once served as the Keeper of the Academy. She knows a lot about the dark knowledge of the Fourth Era, especially being good at the power of the soul.

Although she is my mother, I still have to remind everyone to be careful of her. Do not fight her directly if it is not necessary. She has various means that ordinary people cannot imagine. She... is very dangerous."
