Chapter 3787: First Fire and Wax Stone

~11 min read 2,008 words

After learning the unique secret technique of perceiving the First Fire from Sister Belen in the "Tombstone Wasteland", Xia De had always been able to feel that the flame of the First Fire was in the snow mountain, but he couldn't determine the precise location.

And when he walked out of the passage behind him, that hazy perception suddenly became clear. He clearly felt that the flame he was looking for was right here.

"Is it because of the bell sound just now?"

The cave in front of him was in the shape of a sinkhole, high on the outside and low in the middle, and it descended step by step in the style of stairs. This was clearly a sacrificial site inside the mountain body, and besides a circle of dozens of stone pillars standing in the middle of the descending stairs, it was clearly very similar in shape to the "First Fire Sacrificial Site".

Xia De then walked quickly along the stairs, wanting to enter the sacrificial site. But when he arrived at the location of those stone pillars, he stopped his steps. Some kind of ancient power was guarding this place, and approaching rashly......

He then rummaged through his pocket and found the snake scale given by Miss White. This was the key given to Xia De to open the seal to obtain the First Fire, and it could open almost all the "treasures" in the snow mountain.

Sure enough, the snake scale emitted light immediately after it appeared, so that vague but real power disappeared.

Xia De then crossed the stone pillars and continued to descend. As if sensing the power of the First Fire in his body, as he stepped into the sacrificial site, the surroundings of the stone pillars cracked, and then firelight seeped out.

These firelights were not dazzling, but after spreading over the stone pillars, they manifested crimson chains in the air.

At the same time, a square stone platform rose in the center of the sacrificial site, and an old stone basin was placed on the stone platform. A small flame was burning in the stone basin at this moment. Crimson chains connected this small flame to those stone pillars located at a high place. This was the complete seal of this place.

And the moment Xia De saw the flame on the stone platform, he clearly knew that this was what he was looking for:

"First Fire."

But he didn't take the flame immediately, but looked at another item on the stone platform.

The flame provided light, and a walnut wooden box embedded with silver silk patterns, about the size of two palms, was placed in the southeast corner of the stone platform, with a piece of velvet soft cloth underneath. The box was not locked, the brass buckle was polished to a warm luster by the years, and the surface of the box was as bright as new, as if it had been placed here the second before Xia De looked over.

This box was completely out of tune with the ancient style of this place, and one could tell at a glance that it was not part of the seal here:

"Violet, Teresa, and Sister Belen left things for me, they are really here."

Xia De came to the side of the stone platform. When he pushed open the buckle of the box, the hinge made a light sound, and then Xia De saw the dark purple velvet laid in the box.

What was placed at the bottom of the box couldn't be seen clearly for the time being, because a folded letter was lying quietly on the top layer. The letter paper was folded into an exquisite rhombus, the corners were pressed straight, and the exposed corner could glimpse a shallow embossed pattern, which was a white rose entwined with thorns, with a small emblem held in the flower stem, which was the personal emblem of the Witch Emperor Violet.

The luxury of the paper itself already explained the source of this letter, and the perfume smell that rushed to his face when he opened the box also made Xia De remember the golden-haired Witch Emperor who was talking and laughing.

Opening the letter, he saw a circle of extremely thin gold foil rolled on the edge of the paper, and on the letter paper were quite gorgeous floral letters—

【Dear Xia De,

I know you will definitely be able to find this letter. Sister Belen and I found this place in the third month after the "Tombstone Wasteland" incident ended. The sister said that the flame here needs to continue to maintain the seal, so the flame cannot be recovered for the time being, and can be left to be recovered in your era.

I have already found out about the rumors of the ancient snake belief and fate pilgrimage circulating on the island. Sister Belen also found the notes left by the sisters in ancient times and learned that the ancient gods once sealed fate here.

I expect that this place will become an extremely important battlefield in your era, so I left some items in the box, hoping to be of help to you.

Hope to see you soon.

Love you,

Violet Marshall】

There was no date written on this letter, but this was not an important matter. Xia De carefully put away the letter, and then looked into the box.

The small 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 was lying inside, exactly the same as when it was in Teresa's hands back then. Xia De took out this angel-level relic and found that the muzzle was stuffed with rolled rune paper, so he understood that this was a containment method.

And besides this relic that Xia De had long known about, the bright red liquid in the slender wax-sealed glass test tube was clearly the 【Philosopher's Stone】. Violet knew that this relic was very useful to Xia De, and for a demigod Witch Emperor, these 【Philosopher's Stones】 were actually not worth much.

After Xia De took out the test tube, he found a small paper bag in the box. Inside the paper bag was a piece of white wax stone the length of a thumb, and there was text on the paper bag wrapping the wax stone.

This time the text was a bit more, also written by Violet.

Sister Belen had heard Xia De talk about the 【Fire Seal】 he learned from other sisters in the middle of the Fifth Era. Violet then, according to the principle of the fire seal, combined with the situation when she was summoned by Xia De's low-ring sublimation language, made this special wax stone with the help of several "good friends".

Because of some reason, this wax stone could only be made in the Fifth Era, and it was a consumable. But the effect of the wax stone was quite powerful—

Using the wax stone to write the name of the demigod witch Xia De wanted to summon on the ground, the spirit required for Xia De to use the sublimation language to summon, and the spirit required to maintain their existence, would be reduced. The spirit required for the summoned witches to cast spells could also be partially provided by their own true forms.

Besides this, using this unique wax stone to summon also reduced the requirements for the venue required for summoning a lot. Although it still required a sufficiently ancient venue related to time, the range of choices was finally much wider than before.

"Significantly reducing the cost of my use of low-ring sublimation language? Violet really researched something extraordinary."

And this time, the wax stone Violet put in this walnut wooden box could only be used once to summon one person according to the statement on the paper bag.

Originally, Xia De's state at this time was not enough to use the sublimation language. Even if he wanted to use it forcibly, he would have to consume that portion of the Philosopher's Stone. But since he had this wax stone, and the sacrificial site venue at the moment also met the minimum requirements, Xia De bent down and wrote Violet's name on the ancient bricks under his feet.

After writing it, he realized that this way of using the sublimation language had a great similarity to the method of summoning Adele in the past.

After the name was written, the wax stone shattered immediately. Even though Xia De hadn't done anything yet, the white wax marks on the ground actively overflowed with golden light.

Xia De then summoned his fate ring. The core spirit rune 【Space-Time】, miracle - 【Echo】, blasphemy 【Vibration】, enlightenment - 【Sleeping Princess】, whisper 【Power】, five spirit runes resonated on the fate ring until the spirit light connected into a line—

"Echo of space-time, vibrate the sleeping power!"

The bell sound from the void resonated with the witch's residual echo possessed by Xia De. The great soul located the witch on the other side of time through the witch's residual echo.

Thus, in the experience where Xia De felt as if he had simply released a sorcery, the wax marks on the ground projected golden light upward like a light curtain. In that golden light, Violet, who was lifting her skirt, stood up slowly.

On her feet were black long boots covered with broken gems. The black long dress, which looked simple but was particularly slim, swayed in the source-less wind that appeared in the cave when the sublimation language was used. The wide belt at her waist was clearly the craftsmanship of elves.

Wearing three gem alchemy rings on her left and right hands, her golden wavy long hair hung behind her to her waist. On the beautiful face of the Witch Emperor, there were starlit broken light in her beautiful eyes. After she stood up straight, she looked at Xia De in front of her with a smile.

This time it was not a projection or a mark transformed from a residual echo. Violet came to this era again.

She didn't look at the situation around her at all, but said to Xia De with a smile:

"I thought that the first one you summoned would be that Miss Feilian."

This was the first sentence.

"Long time no see, Xia De. I knew that even if I didn't leave clear clues, you would still be able to find this place."

This was the second sentence, and then she took the initiative to hug Xia De's neck and kissed him.

After a kiss, the demigod witch didn't say much, just shook her hair lightly and touched his face with some reluctance.

Xia De kissed her cheek lightly again:

"In the letter in the box, you already said you were looking forward to seeing me soon, so how could I use the wax stone you left to summon someone else?"

The demigod Great Witch didn't hide the smile on her face at all:

"Then now, what do you need me to do?"

She knew that she couldn't delay time at this moment. Even though she was inside the mountain body at this time, she could still feel the movement of fate and the terrifying power of doomsday.

Xia De explained:

"The enemy this time is the fate of the doomsday of the Sixth Era. It has already completed its skin-shedding. Go to the mountaintop to help, and also, the ring of fate......"

"You don't have to worry about this."

Violet said with a smile, reaching out and grabbing into the air. A pink ring appeared out of thin air—the fate of 【Eternal Youth】, the meaning was quite clear:

"For us who have walked the path of demigods, in an environment where fate is so turbulent, wanting to condense fate for ourselves is really too simple." ===== CHAPTER 3788 =====

"For those of us who have walked the path of the demigod, in an environment where fate is so turbulent, wanting to condense fate for oneself is truly the simplest of matters."
