Chapter 3708: The Ritual Ring

Xia De still suspected that this figure located beneath the Seers Association was the shadow of some Angel of Fate, but since the other party was unwilling to admit it, he naturally would not continue to dwell on a question that was temporarily meaningless.

But Xia De at least understood that the other party held goodwill toward him.

After leaving this room, on the way back to Fatumonster Island, Xia De explained the content of the conversation just now to President Lenorman. The method for forging a fake Ring of Fate had been obtained; what needed to be done next was to gather the conditions.

"【Moon in the Water】 is in the hands of the Zalas Academy of Literature, 【Sun Shadow Twin Wheels】 is in the hands of the Church of the Sun; these two relics can be brought over at any time. As for the power of the sun and moon, I think there should also be a way to find it. The venue... after all, the method to enter the ruins on the summit of Fatumonster Island has not yet been found."

President Lenorman was lost in thought on the train, while Xia De reminded him:

"I thought of it just now; why not use the 【Dragon Feast Ritual Site】 above Moon Bay? Its location is no lower than the summit of the snowy mountain. Although it is not a ritual site of the Ancient Gods, that Eldest Son of the Dragon should also be considered ancient enough."

"Yes, this location is good. In this way, using two curved arcs combined with the power of the sun or moon to forge the ring, only the ritual is missing."

Among the five ways to obtain the ritual, because one involved the Goddess of the Lake, Xia De only mentioned four:

"We can go and ask the mad Omniscient again, or perhaps I can go to the ruins on the summit of the snowy mountain to conduct an investigation; we talked about the topic of the Fate Casino in the castle ruins on the mountainside of the snowy mountain. I don't know if the association is willing to consume an opportunity to enter the casino to try. As for the 【Book of All Laws】..."

This was an Unknowable-level relic that Xia De had never heard of, but President Lenorman knew of it:

"In legend, this is a book written by the Ancient God 【Secret Keeper Mentor】 that records all the secret arts of the First Era. It is the original text of all extraordinary powers that continued to circulate after the end of the Mythological Era. But this book has long been lost. A hundred years ago, the Sexes Higher Medical Academy did release news that they had found clues to this book, but until now, there has been no news that this book has truly been found.

It is probably like the 【Pedestal of Fate】; even though there are clues, it just cannot be found."

Xia De's eyelids twitched; he did not want to talk about the topic of the 【Pedestal of Fate】:

"Then we can only try other methods, but the deadline given by the snake is only one week away after all. I don't know how long it will take to find this ritual. Moreover, even if it is found, this method of using Unknowable-level relics to forge rings probably has limitations; it is impossible for us to mass-produce fake Rings of Fate."

President Lenorman also understood this truth, and he sighed. At this time, both of them were standing in the locomotive, and there were actually no chairs in this locomotive:

"Let's go and discuss it with the Orthodox Churches in a while; they might have other ways."

"That is the only way. The original words of that shadow of the prophet were like this—the ritual to convert the non-circle into a ring. This sounds quite powerful; I don't know where this ritual specifically comes from."

The train was about to arrive at the station, and the lights of the underground station in the City of Time Wheels were already faintly visible ahead. President Lenorman continued to chat with Xia De:

"I actually roughly know what this ritual specifically refers to. During the Fifth Era, the demigod witches of the Saint Byron Comprehensive Academy studied this. At that time, it was still the era when the legendary Miss Mana Feilian was the principal. That lady was simply the synonym for that era... However, since the 'prophet' did not mention the Saint Byron Comprehensive Academy, I think Saint Byron should have lost that information."

Xia De then thought about whether he should open the "Time Transit Station" to go on a date with Blannie again... to go and ask Blannie about this matter again. He then asked:

"Do you know the name of that ritual, President Lenorman?"

The middle-aged man wearing crystal monocles nodded:

"Yes, but I only know the name—Ritual Ring. The true use of this knowledge is actually to transform the shape of ritual arrays that are not standard circles. I am very sure that the 'prophet' was talking about this."

Woo~

The whistle sounded above their heads; this was another safe trip. President Lenorman looked toward the platform direction, where Old Mr. Zaratu was waiting for the two of them to return. Because of this, President Lenorman did not see the wonderful expression on Xia De's face.

"We've arrived, let's get off."

President Lenorman said, and then he heard Xia De's voice:

"Are you sure the name of that ritual is 'Ritual Ring'?"

"It is highly probable. Diviners never believe that there will be a 100% probability of anything... what's wrong?"

"If the method of forging the ring is really 'Ritual Ring', I think we don't need to look for it; I know this."

Time returned to before the Year-End Festival. When a certain girl who entrusted Xia De to raise a cat visited his home, she presented an old manuscript found in the ruins of a fallen town in her hometown, and the content on that manuscript was "Ritual Ring" (Chapter 3181).

Even in the inn at Whispering Hills, Xia De had used that knowledge to convert a non-circular ritual into a circular ritual (3482).

President Lenorman looked at him with great surprise:

"Really... I mean, you actually know this? This saves a lot of time, but is this a favor given to us by fate? This kind of knowledge that is not commonly used and has been lost actually appeared directly."

He said with a smile, while Xia De felt as if he saw that girl with bright golden hair who looked like a cat walking down from his stairs again. The smile on her face was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Trying to forge an "artificial Ring of Fate" was the most important thing now, so after confirming the content of the "Ritual Ring" from Xia De, President Lenorman went to contact the church.

This time, everyone's actions were quite efficient. Xia De and President Lenorman visiting the "prophet" was on Sunday morning, and by this evening, when Xia De and Flora were chatting on the deck of the Glorious Messenger about local transformation techniques, Luvia boarded the big ship with a letter:

"Xia De, a letter from President Lenorman. The Zalas Academy of Literature has prepared the 'Moon in the Water', and that relic will arrive at Moon Bay at eight o'clock tonight. President Lenorman asks if you have time to go to Moon Bay in person, or send a representative there?"

Xia De had already discussed this matter with the witches at lunch:

"Just let Vanessa accompany me. Bella returned to Moon Bay in the morning. After we meet up with her, we will go to the Dragon Feast Ritual Site."

When an Unknowable-level relic enters a certain area, the church has the responsibility to notify the local manager that dangerous goods are entering, and the current manager of the Moon Bay area is of course Bella.

So after Xia De brought back the news in the morning, the Great Witch of Fate immediately returned to Moon Bay with Matilda. Calculating the time, she should be watching the City of Wealth under the sunset on the Big Ben of Belindell right now.

"But is it so fast? The mobilization of Unknowable-level relics should take at least half a week, right?"

Flora asked curiously, and Luvia replied:

"During the Moon Bay incident last year, that relic was transported to Moon Bay, so some procedures can be accelerated. Relatively speaking, the relic of solar power will be more troublesome. After all, this is an urgent matter, and the transportation of the relic can be considered to have violated some regulations, but fortunately, we are not the ones who have to write the post-incident report."

Luvia then said to Xia De again:

"You work hard tonight. Regardless of whether the experiment is successful, you must come back and talk to me about the results. Of course, I think the probability of the experiment being successful is very high, but I don't know what the effect of that artificial Ring of Fate will be."

"That's hard to say, but what exactly is under the Seers Association? I am very curious about that place."

"Xia De, even Miss Danister doesn't think she fully understands the situation under the library, right? In the contemporary association, no one can fully explain what is under the association."

Xia De currently has six curved arcs left: 【Corruption】, 【Luck】, 【Fool】, 【Ice and Snow】, 【Poverty】, and 【Beast】. Plus the one 【Death】 brought back by Megan and Sylvia when they led a team to deal with problems in the east of the island this afternoon, based on the standard of making one ring with two curved arcs, they can now forge 3.5 rings.

Luvia decided to let Xia De take 【Death】 and 【Corruption】; these two curved arcs were very compatible in her opinion. Of course, tonight's attempt would still use the curved arcs provided by the Orthodox Church; the church had also obtained many good things from the Falling Star Bay area recently.

After dinner, Xia De set off with Vanessa. After coming out of the Dragon Nest outside Moon Bay City, Xia De still had some feelings about his adventure in Moon Bay last summer, and Bella and Matilda were already waiting for the two of them at the city gate.

After moving slightly away from the city area, Bella took out the flying carpet used last year, and then the flying carpet carried the group of four into the night sky.

Because no one knows how to control it, the current Dragon Feast Ritual Site has been floating in the sky. The church, the academy, the Witch Council, and the Seers Association occasionally send people to do some research. This place is basically equivalent to a public area.

Xia De also held the 【Dragon Feast Ritual】 here last year and obtained the ability of Dragon Breath and flight, so he was no stranger to this place.

It was just because no one cleared the snow, so the ritual site also turned silver-white in the current season.

When Xia De and the witches boarded the ritual site, President Lenorman was already there. It seems he also used some cross-space means to come from afar.

The Zalas Academy of Literature sent the 13th-tier sorcerer "Rune Master" Professor Keller Cynthia to transport this relic. In addition to him, Mr. Joshua Brooklyn, the "Hand of Radiance" of the Dawn Church stationed in Moon Bay, and Miss Camille Eden, the "Sun Emblem" who was also on Fatumonster Island, also came.

Plus Vanessa, with five 13th-tier sorcerers present, even if some accident occurred halfway, it should not be a big deal. Of course, others thought the same, but the "insurance" they thought of was Xia De. ===== CHAPTER 3709 =====
