Chapter 3709: Ritual Site and Lady Sanmei-Colored Ring
Everyone was no stranger to each other. Xia De familiarly greeted President Lenorman and Miss Eden, and then asked:
"What means do you intend to use to replace the power of the moon? Relics, special materials, ancient divine ritual items, or rituals?"
"In the afternoon, I went to consult the opinion of Professor Danister, the 'Red Moon Witch' of Saint Byron. She said to prepare some Moon Essence Water and then hand it to you."
The blonde Miss Eden said. Because of her angelic bloodline, she was also the top combat power among the 13th-tier sorcerers. Of course, she still couldn't compare with Adele, who had a witch profession.
The group walked toward the center of the ritual site together. Snowflakes also fell on the stone pillars surrounding the central area of the ritual site, and those giant dragon stone statues standing in different postures in the center of the ritual site were mostly covered by snow. It seems that Moon Bay also had a lot of snow this winter.
"Moon Essence Water" was provided by the Church of Nature, and Miss Eden handed it to Xia De on her behalf. The silver liquid sealed in a large glass test tube rippled with Xia De's walking movements. Xia De would need a month or two to collect so much moon essence in his own attic:
"Since Professor Danister said so..."
He opened the stopper and took out part of the liquid, then let those silver liquids absorb the radiance from the moon above his head while walking forward. Everyone around watched the moonlight gather toward Xia De, and when those "Moon Essence Waters" became like flowing liquid light, Xia De shaped them into the shape of a curved arc, and finally exhaled gently to freeze the Moon Essence Water into solid ice.
"This is the last third of the curved arc. I think that professor should mean this."
He did not avoid others when casting the spell, but he was not worried about this power being imitated by others. After all, attracting moonlight relied on his own talent and the blessing of the fourth son of the dragon.
"I think there should be no problem."
President Lenorman breathed a sigh of relief. The 13th-tier diviner trusted his intuition very much:
"If this still doesn't work, I think we might really only be able to seek help from the power of the gods."
After the group arrived at the central area of the Dragon Feast Ritual Site, they casually found a stone platform in front of a lying giant dragon stone statue. Then, Professor Keller Cynthia of the Zalas Academy of Literature took out the stone basin containing 【Moon in the Water】 from the mithril and placed it on it.
The silver runes on the edge of the stone basin 【Moon in the water, flowers in the mirror, you in the fog, me in the dream】 lit up in turn. Because Xia De had seen this relic last year, he was not surprised at all. Then Professor Keller Cynthia poured the second portion of "Moon Essence Water" into the stone basin. This was the necessary material to safely activate this Unknowable-level relic.
Xia De had already shared the content of the "Ritual Ring". Although that manuscript mainly talked about converting non-circular rituals into circles, based on these contents, the old secret keepers had already deduced a more specific conversion ritual.
While the Moon Essence Water rippled in the stone basin and the silver moon reflected in the water, several diviners following President Lenorman took out the thin gauze imprinted with the ritual array. Then Miss Eden took the suitcase from the nun behind her. Inside the box were two curved arcs, one black and one red, whose meanings were 【Wither】 and 【Thrive】 respectively.
These two curved arcs were obtained by the church after hunting those strange evil things on the island during the War of the Lovers. Now, after the second impact of fate, after those nameless evil things on Fatumonster Island were killed, it was possible for this thing to appear.
Although the meanings of 【Wither】 and 【Thrive】 seemed contradictory, they both involved plants after all. The church took them out this time just to try the combination scheme of "artificial ring".
Iluna revealed that although the church did not have rings, the number of curved arcs was not small. Even if they were all shattered into point dice during the final battle, those curved arcs were also very valuable.
In short, the two curved arcs were pieced together with the "moonlight curved arc" Xia De just made. Although the edges could not be perfectly aligned, at least it could barely be considered to have the shape of a ring.
The thin gauze engraved with the ritual wrapped the "ring", and the 13th-tier sorcerers cast spells together, letting the package sink into the stone basin of "Moon in the Water".
The silver moon reflected in the water was penetrated by the gauze. The outermost characteristic of this Unknowable-level relic would cause the moon to appear in all water bodies in the nearby area. If the relic's characteristic continued to play, Moon Bay would definitely have big trouble, so this ritual could not last too long.
"How long do we need to wait?"
Seeing that nothing happened after the gauze wrapping the curved arc was immersed in the water, Bella couldn't help but ask Xia De.
Xia De was also not very sure, so he looked at President Lenorman, who shook his head:
"I don't know either."
The obstruction of the powerful whispering elements of the Unknowable-level relic, plus the silver moon appearing in the water blocking the situation at the bottom of the water, everyone present could not see whether the three curved arcs in the gauze were connected into one.
Professor Keller Cynthia of the Zalas Academy of Literature then suggested:
"【Moon in the Water】 seems stable for now, and there will definitely be no problem within five minutes. Why don't we wait five minutes and then take out the package?"
This suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone, but there was nothing to do standing here, so Xia De asked Miss Eden:
"Speaking of which, didn't the 【Doom Cult】 and the 【Ten Thousand Numbers Return to One Society】 say they wanted to exchange information with the church? It's the information related to the 【Tyranny Club】. Did you trade?"
From the memories of the Lovers, Xia De also learned that sorcerers of the 【Tyranny Club】 had appeared in the temple, but he didn't know more.
Miss Eden nodded:
"They wanted information about the ring, and it was decided to trade after the meeting this morning. The trading time was set for tomorrow night. By then, the Great Movement of Fate will end, and only the last act of the Seven-Act Story will remain. Even if they know more information about the ring, it won't matter."
This reminded Xia De that tomorrow is Monday, and he still has to meet Larus III tomorrow night. Although Galina said to let him deal with it casually, as long as he admits that he will definitely get married in the future, in Xia De's view, this matter still needs to be taken seriously.
"The Six-Act Story is ending~"
Xia De sighed softly, and President Lenorman suggested to Xia De:
"God-Caller, our cooperation this time is very smooth. Even if we have our own supported candidates, we can still get along very harmoniously. No matter how the story of fate ends, are you still interested in cooperating later? Why don't we make an appointment to talk again after the story of fate ends?"
Miss Eden and Mr. Joshua Brooklyn, the "Hand of Radiance" of the Dawn Church, both glanced at President Lenorman, thinking that he was engaging in some kind of collusion, while Professor Cynthia of the Zalas Academy of Literature just stared nervously at the water basin for fear of accidents.
When the moonlight cast the shadows of those giant dragon statues on the snow, they looked even more ferocious than the stone statues themselves. Xia De shook his head:
"Let's talk about that later, but as long as it is beneficial to protecting this world, I don't mind contacting more people in the future."
He answered very vaguely, still thinking about what clothes to wear tomorrow night. Although Galina said to dress casually, he couldn't really do that.
In the chat, five minutes passed quickly. The silk package in the water was fished out again, the liquid in the stone basin was drained, and the stone basin was re-sealed in the mithril container.
And after unfolding the gauze that had been stained with silver-white light, what was wrapped inside was a three-colored ring. The silver, black, and red curved arcs were harmoniously pieced together, and the boundaries of each color were quite clear.
"Is this the artificial Ring of Fate?"
Miss Eden sighed softly, then looked at Xia De and President Lenorman:
"【Moon in the Water】 can still be used safely twice tonight, but the interval between each time must be greater than one hour. Although it can still be used tomorrow night, it is hard to say how many times it can be used safely by then. Use it once each tonight. Who wants to go first?"
So when Xia De, Vanessa, Bella, and Matilda returned to the Glorious Messenger, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Luvia was indeed waiting for them to return. Seeing the multi-colored ring in Xia De's hand, she also understood that the "artificial ring" plan was successful.
Bella and Vanessa both had smiles on their faces. The smoothness of this matter exceeded everyone's imagination. While waiting for the ring to be forged, the seers had already tested this kind of artificial Ring of Fate:
"It has the ability to resist the impact of fate close to that of a real ring, and it does not need resonance. Holding it can slightly offset part of the power of other Rings of Fate. Before coming back, Xia De took us to the twilight scenery 'Before the End', and holding this can also allow us to fight briefly in that space.
But apart from these resistances, this kind of artificial Ring of Fate cannot grant the sorcerer any powerful abilities after resonance, nor can it open the posture of fate.
And you see, one-third of the ring is moonlight. Using it multiple times to resist the impact of fate or power, or staying active in the twilight for too long, will make the moonlight dim. As expected, the ring will definitely disintegrate into curved arcs again."
But Luvia thought this was already very good:
"At least it can allow sorcerers without fate resonance to have the qualification to join the final battle. Then what is the production efficiency of this artificial Ring of Fate?"
Vanessa said:
"【Moon in the Water】 can only produce two to three rings a night. Professor Cynthia of the Zalas Academy of Literature cannot give a specific number, but Xia De has already made enough 'moonlight curved arcs' and left them at the ritual site. The Zalas Academy of Literature is responsible for guarding the place to make curved arcs.
As for the 【Sun Shadow Twin Wheels】 that will only be used tomorrow morning, its efficiency is unclear, and Xia De and the seers both think that using this solar relic to make curved arcs cannot use Moon Essence Water, but the Church of the Sun should find a way. If the efficiency of the two relics is the same, four to six fake Rings of Fate can be produced in one day.
It's just that the church is still worried that the place below the ritual site is the densely populated Moon Bay City. It must be very cautious to use two different Unknowable-level relics in turn above Moon Bay, so the actual efficiency will be a bit lower." ===== CHAPTER 3710 =====
