After the coin was tossed and turned into ashes as it fell, a pale purple halo that could attract the soul of an outsider shone in her eyes:

"This letter must be sent when you return to the Time Wheel City hotel tonight, otherwise your inspiration just now will be invalid. The location cannot be changed; it must be the Drowned Ghost Tavern, and the time must be between 7:30 and 11:30 on Friday night.

At that time, five card players will come to the tavern for various reasons and then, by coincidence, sit at the same table. Ms. White will appear at that time and ask if you are willing to play cards."

Luweiya paused slightly:

"Yes, in a public place, in that kind of noisy tavern, you will play a game of cards that is crucial to this island, but Ms. White's power will make others in the tavern unable to notice you. The Drowned Ghost Tavern is open all night, and you can play cards for a long time."

Xia De picked up the pen and continued writing the letter, but left the time blank:

"Then can the rules of the card game be divined?"

"No, the rules are obscured by the power of the Ancient God of Destiny. Unless you are willing to consume all the other two coins, I cannot know."

Xia De was quite surprised; he originally thought it was completely impossible to divine, and Luweiya's power always exceeded his imagination.

And the prophet lady then said:

"The last piece of information I obtained is that if you bring a flower with you at that time, it will make the card game more favorable."

Xia De laughed:

"I'm meeting Major Lades; why would I bring a flower? And I'm using Mr. Charatu's character card; I actually don't want him to win."

"Still, bring the flower, just in case. You don't have to take it out."

"Okay, look at what this is."

Xia De reached into his pocket, and when Luweiya looked over curiously, he pulled out a red rose and handed it to her. Luweiya squinted and smiled as she took it, sniffed it, and planned to put it in the vase at the head of the bed, while Xia De looked at the red rose and suddenly had another flash of inspiration.

The meeting time written on the letter sent to the pier was finally set for 8:00 on Friday night. And this meant that there were only fifty hours left until the final battle of destiny. But Xia De did not inform other forces of this news; Luweiya believed that if too many people knew about this, the result guided by Xia De's inspiration would deviate.

However, everyone was already preparing, so not knowing the specific time didn't actually have a huge impact.

As for the witches, before Xia De returned to the Time Wheel City hotel with Little Mia and Luweiya, they already knew this specific time point. Claire, with a worried expression, planned to go and "train" her mother again; although her mother would definitely not be in trouble with Xia De present at that time, it would be a lie to say she wasn't worried at all.

"Fifty hours left; after the final battle of destiny, we're going to have a party here!"

Megan announced with great momentum, which was very effective in stirring up the atmosphere.

And Luweiya's responsibility had now changed to "accompanying Xia De Hamilton to tour Fatumonster Island," so she and Xia De ate dinner in the city that day and slept in the hotel room next to Xia De's at night.

Of course, Luweiya later ran into Xia De's room and, while Little Mia was squinting and pretending to sleep, hugged Xia De and talked about the future:

"After Friday daytime ends, while keeping the three curved arcs in reserve, the number of artificial Rings of Destiny we hold will probably reach five, or six if we're lucky. Plus Vanessa and Xivi receiving the chaos blessing in the council, the number of Great Witches who can participate in the final battle can reach seven or eight."

This was not some post-event intimacy, just Luweiya leaning on Xia De's shoulder, leaning against the head of the bed and talking under the moonlight. Of course, the two were holding hands with their fingers intertwined.

"I'm still considering whether to leave four rings for Mr. Albert, the Guardian of the Earth, Emilia, and Princess Lei Qianya. Or, should the Church contribute these rings?"

Xia De asked. Emilia had already tried it in "Before the End." Although the little elf could also step in there, her power would be affected. If she wanted the best fighting state, it was better to hold a ring.

Luweiya hesitated for a moment:

"I feel that the Chosen ones will definitely find their destiny, but it's also good to contact the Church to reserve some rings."

The two chatted like this under the moonlight, and only after the time passed ten o'clock did they start the big move tonight.

"Mia, we're going home."

Xia De, who had been thrown out of the crystal shoes along with the cat and Luweiya, brought them back home. During the time Xia De was "not" in Tobesk, Galina's maid ladies were responsible for taking care of the house, so there were still people in the house tonight.

After greeting the maid on the second floor, Xia De first went to Green Lake Island with Luweiya. Megan had already arrived here in advance and had arranged the huge learning ceremony on the east side of Green Lake Island.

Learning the dragon secret technique 【Dragon Scale Amulet】 required Xia De to appear in the form of a dragon, so the ceremony could only be carried out on the hidden Green Lake Island.

The ceremony went very smoothly. Before returning to human form from the dragon, the Moonlight Dragon took the initiative to peel off two glowing silver dragon scales and handed them to Luweiya and Megan respectively:

"You yourselves know the miracle 【Night Curtain Seal】; this scale contains the power of the 【Heaton Seal】. I can make 14 amulets; you won't refuse this, right?"

Thus, a beautiful amulet appeared around Luweiya's and Megan's necks. The Moonlight Dragon's scales were as noble as works of art, and Xia De hoped that these scales would never have to be used.

Holding the ceremony at Green Lake only took half an hour. Afterward, Megan smiled ambiguously at Luweiya and returned to Fatumonster Island alone. Xia De returned home with Luweiya and then entered the 【Earth Core Furnace】.

The ink made with the "Philosopher's Stone" as raw material was already prepared, and Xia De also took out the ring of 【Breeding】.

The technology to make the ring into a tattoo imprint that could release a shield was, of course, much more complicated than simply integrating the ring into a specific object, but Luweiya had already discussed the specific production process with Grandma Cassandra.

Although Luweiya's "inspiration" was obtained from the Moon Seal, the actual alchemy craft came from Grandma Cassandra and referred to the one and a half ring imprints on the back of Xia De's hand.

Xia De's alchemy craft was actually not very good, so he didn't quite understand the specific methods of Luweiya and Grandma Cassandra. But in short, after returning home tonight, all the materials were ready. Luweiya first dissolved the ring in the prepared ink. Then she processed the ink and finally branded it onto a piece of leather.

To prevent Xia De from misunderstanding, she explained to Xia De and Little Mia, who were looking at her curiously:

"This is artificial leather, made by Grandma Cassandra. Grandma said that the secret techniques inherited by the Dark Great Witch require some very... illegal materials, so she found substitutes for all these materials."

As for what the "artificial leather" replaced, Xia De didn't really want to know.

Black ink was branded onto the palm-sized leather. Luweiya originally wanted to refer to the Moon Seal for the specific pattern, but she was afraid that Xia De would see through her little thoughts, so she finally chose a shield shape that looked like a single wing.

After the branding was completed, the black ink emitted a pink light. Then, following the previous steps, it was put into the furnace for forging. After the forging was completed, what emerged from the top of the furnace was no longer the piece of leather, but a small, translucent pink shield.

"It seems it was a success."

Luweiya breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the small shield vibrate with a hum, and then turn into a stream of light and fly toward Xia De's chest. She knew this was destiny unwilling to be forged and was making a final struggle, so she casually caught the pink stream of light.

The purple ring on the back of Luweiya's hand hadn't even appeared yet, and the shield calmed down very honestly.

"Look!"

She slapped the small shield onto the back of her left hand, and the pink shield tattoo appeared there. As Luweiya injected her spirit into it, a pink metal shield floated in front of her.

The shield was a quadrilateral shape resembling a rhombus, except that the two sides below the rhombus were elongated, making the bottom corner sharper. There was a mermaid pattern with open arms on the surface of the shield, and a glowing ring was embedded in the mermaid's chest.

It is worth mentioning that the mermaid on the shield was in a state of undress. After Xia De glanced at the details, he covered Little Mia's eyes.

Luweiya, who was very satisfied with her alchemy craft, asked with a smile:

"Little Mia is a female cat, and the mermaid on the shield is also female. Why are you covering Little Mia's eyes?"

"This kind of thing is ultimately not good... I am very glad that this shield is not prepared for me."

After all, Xia De himself could withstand the doomsday power of Mr. Snake, and he didn't really want to imagine himself unfolding such a shield in front of a group of 13th-Ring Mages:

"But why is this shield so small? Is it because the amount of Philosopher's Stone was not enough?"

Xia De then asked curiously. This shield could cover Luweiya's head and upper body, but it was clearly far from the "door-sized shield" Xia De had imagined.

Luweiya herself was very satisfied:

"I knew you would ask like that, look."

She held the ribbon behind the floating shield with one hand, turned slightly, and continued to output her own spirit. The shield then lit up and enlarged, and finally, it really turned into the appearance of a door-sized shield, completely blocking Luweiya, who was standing sideways, behind it.

Of course, in this situation, the various details of the naked mermaid on the shield also became clearer.

"The disadvantage of this shield is similar to that war ring; it cannot be used frequently, otherwise one's own destiny will also be shifted because of it. After all, this is not a weapon like 【Night Watchman】 that perfectly integrates destiny.

Also, in the large shield mode, it requires a considerable amount of spirit to maintain the enlargement of the shield. You can try it yourself in a while."

Luweiya said and slapped the imprint on the back of her hand again, and the small pink shield peeled off from her skin.

"I feel the biggest disadvantage is still the pattern on this shield."

"This is also something that can't be helped. I think it is highly likely that the power of that mermaid is affecting the power of the shield."

The quality of the shield was quite good, and as for what effect it could play in resisting Mr. Snake's power, that would have to wait until the final battle to find out.
