Chapter 3755: Fate Holy Ring
Walking randomly forward would only return here again. If there were witches or Xia De by her side at this time, maybe they could help think of a way. Ellie admitted that she was not the kind of unicorn who was very good at thinking.
Seeing Little Liana shivering, Ellie wanted to transfer the cat on her head to her head. But compared to the cold, Little Liana was obviously more afraid of that cat, so she refused Ellie's kindness:
"Ang~" (Let's circle around again.)
After continuing to set off, Ellie tried very hard to find the correct road in the curtain of wind and snow. She had already discovered that her inspiration was not very useful in this area. Even if she summoned the semi-solidified pure white apple again, she couldn't let her inspiration play the correct role.
So Ellie went in the opposite direction according to her inspiration, but not long after, she saw the huge broken ice with unicorn marks again.
At this time, Little Liana was already leaning on Ellie to keep warm. With the unicorn race's physical talent, such a performance was enough to explain the severity of the current environment.
Ellie was quite guilty:
"Ang~" (Rest for a while, think of a way later)
"Ang~" (No need, isn't time very tight now)
"Ang~" (Take good care of you and the cat, rest for a while first)
"Ang~" (Don't, Emilia and your master are still waiting for us)
Little Liana insisted on not resting, which made Ellie feel even more guilty. She rubbed against her young fellow clan member again, and Little Liana also rubbed against her as a response.
"Ang~" (Then let's continue walking, but you must protect yourself)
"Ang~" (You also must protect yourself, even if we really can't get out, I will always follow you)
"Ang~" (Liana~)
"Ang~" (Ellie~)
"Only by stabilizing the wind and snow can we find the way."
"Ang?" (Is that so?)
Ellie asked in surprise, looking at Little Liana, and Little Liana's azure blue big eyes also looked at her:
"Ang~" (That wasn't what I said, I can't speak)
Ellie then shook her head:
"Ang~" (Neither did I, I haven't said that sentence either)
So the nervous little unicorns immediately gathered together and looked around, but no terrible witch appeared. Finally, Little Liana glanced at the top of Ellie's head. The cat was lying there quite boredly shaking its tail with fire at the tip. Seeing Little Liana look over, it even meowed~.
Although no one could understand Little Mia's cat language, Little Liana thought it might mean "Is something the matter?". 【3755
Little Liana, who had always been afraid of this cat, dared not look at it, and Aili, who still hadn't found out who was speaking just now, saw little Liana shivering again—this time perhaps not because of the cold—and prepared to cast a spell according to the suggestion given by that voice just now.
The fourth-ring destiny ring appeared, the ice and snow spiritual rune bloomed with spiritual light, and in coordination with the unique talents of the unicorns, she used the flow of pure spirit to calm the surrounding weather. The blizzard did not stop completely, so Aili activated the 【Time】 spiritual rune she had just obtained.
The little unicorn who had come across time possessed some time talents; although not many, they were enough to face the current situation.
She could not freeze time and space like Chloe or Xia De, but after a series of spells were completed, although the surrounding blizzard was still continuing, at least around the two little unicorns, a circular area of time anomaly appeared where no snowflakes fell and there was no wind.
And after the wind and snow no longer blew on her, Aili clearly perceived the power that was affecting her inspiration. This power was like a worm hidden in a delicious fruit, like ground spikes hidden beneath soft grass, and even more like a piranha in clear, sweet creek water.
This power originated from higher up the mountain peak. Although that power was very strong, once Aili detected it, she knew how to avoid its influence.
Thus, the little unicorns continued on their way. After setting off this time, they finally saw scenery different from before. Little Liana was still secretly observing the cat on Aili's head from time to time, while Aili had already put the strange speaking voice from just now aside; after all, the voice sounded very warm, and Aili believed that it shouldn't be a bad person.
After leaving that strange area, although they were still within the storm zone, the road ahead was much easier to travel. The sounds of battle around them seemed to come from very far away, and Aili and little Liana only cared about moving forward.
After defeating the beasts blocking the road and ignoring the humanoid relic that possessed elements of whispers and tried to sell them some terrible flesh creations, the unicorns finally arrived at the location of the new seal.
This was the fourth seal Aili had encountered. Because the twelfth seal had already been destroyed by Katrin Schwarz of the 【Bad Luck Sect】 while they were lost just now, this was actually the last seal.
At this time, the little unicorns did not yet know about the terrible scenes on Lu Lu Anda Island and in the Star Fall Bay, because they had encountered a new problem. Before the final seal, there were no strange enemies or scenes blocking the way, but the rock wall inscribed with the giant golden snake-shaped rune was blocked by a layer of translucent purple barrier.
The two horns tried to poke the barrier, and then the unyielding little Liana ran wildly in the snow for a few steps and rammed into the barrier, but apart from being bounced away and rolling in the snow like a cotton ball with teary eyes, she did not get any positive feedback.
Aili then rubbed against little Liana again, and then the little beasts searched all around. This seal was located in a mountain depression. In the stone crevices of the surrounding rock walls, they found three ancient shrines embedded in the mountain body.
Each of the three shrines enshrined a golden holy ring. All three holy rings were in the shape of an Ouroboros, but the engravings on the inside of the different rings were not the same. Aili did not have Xia De's "Language Comprehension" ability, so naturally, she could not identify that the engravings on the three holy rings were 【All Things are Impermanent】, 【Destiny has Lady Sanmei】, and 【All Have a Price】.
It seemed that these three holy rings were providing energy to the barrier, so Aili thought that the barrier would be lifted if she took them away, but when she actually took the holy rings in her human form, the barrier still existed.
The cat on her head shook its tail and watched the shrine in front of her with boredom. Aili tapped her chin with her right index finger and thought for a long while before finding a similar situation in her memories from when she followed Chloe:
"A price must be paid, right?"
Taking away an item meant leaving behind an item; this was a situation that often occurred in gifts related to the God of Destiny. Just as the gifts of the Ancient God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the 【Secret Keeper】, would have tests of wisdom, the gifts of the God of Death would involve the value of life and soul.
But the clothes on Aili's body didn't even have pockets, and it was even more impossible for little Liana to carry any treasures with her. As for the cat, Little Mia's size determined that it wouldn't have any items suitable for taking out now either.
In the end, Aili had no choice but to shake her body and shake the apple of 【Pain】 that Adele had given her just now out of her fur—this was the unique storage method of unicorns. Afterward, she touched the silver dragon scale hanging on her chest with great reluctance, but even so, there were only two items. Her 【Star Dewdrops】 had been consumed when she advanced a few hours ago.
Little Liana still had dewdrops and dragon scales on her neck, but Aili would never ask little Liana for anything no matter what. This time, Little Mia did not slap her head with its tail again, so Aili remembered that she still had beautiful hair.
When she reached out to pull her own hair, she felt something warm rubbing against her from behind. Turning around, she saw that little Liana had already walked behind her and was signaling her to take her own dewdrop.
"Ang~"
This was a gift between friends; in the traditional culture of unicorns, such gifts could not be refused. Aili then stood on tiptoe and hugged little Liana, then exchanged a holy ring each with the dragon scale, the apple, and the dewdrop.
The three items disappeared as if they had been absorbed by the shrine, and then the shrine closed until it turned into ordinary stone and completely lost its effect. The barrier used to protect the final seal flickered twice and then disappeared, and the final seal was officially opened to the little unicorns.
But the three holy rings were still in Aili's hands. She handed one of the holy rings to little Liana, but the little unicorn did not like this kind of metal product, and it had no place to wear it. Thus, the holy ring was handed to the cat on her head by Aili, but her hand was immediately swatted away by the cat's tail; the rings the cat liked were not these.
Aili had no choice but to wear the ring on her own hand for the time being, and when she returned to the appearance of a unicorn in the pure white light, three dark golden patterns appeared on her horn:
"This is the fourth one."
She charged forward, leaped into the air, transformed into a silver light shadow, jumped lightly in the air a few times, and then rammed her head into the stone wall.
Crack!
As Aili completed the low-ring sublimation language and officially entered the middle ring, all the Ringed Ringed Shushi with divination talents in the Star Fall Bay area heard a clear sound of chains breaking.
"It's over? No, it's just beginning!"
The rumbling earthquake made the people in the Drowned Man Tavern stop their clamor, and the people in the only stable building in the night finally realized the danger that had long since appeared in the night.
And at that card table, the thirteenth gold coin had already fallen onto the table. Amidst the clanging sound of the coin, Xia De put down the teacup he had just picked up, Lady Reinhardt took back the hand she was about to discard, Prince Samuel Anru rubbed his face, Ms. Erfurt sighed with regret, and Baron Gerald Rogers placed his hand face down on the table.
Although nearly four hours had passed in real time, for the people sitting here, the card game had only been going on for a little over half an hour.
?? PS: Aili's middle-ring sublimation language will be obtained later; it wasn't mentioned here because it wasn't forgotten.
? The low-ring is: The beginning of the adventure, the unicorn dances under the silver moon.
