Chapter 3843: Leisia's Sublimation Words

~11 min read 2,147 words

"Sounds pretty good."

Dorothy nodded in agreement:

"We have the Red Butterfly cards, which were obtained after Laplace Howard's research results were soaked in the power of Grace and Helen's Red Butterfly. They fully meet the conditions."

"Yes, plus your souls can be regarded as double, your research on Enlightenment Elements is very deep, and your spatial talent is also quite high. As long as you learn this sorcery, you can flick your cards and seal any inanimate object without a soul at will."

Xia De opened his mouth again to eat the food Dorothy sent to his mouth:

"You two eat your own food too, don't... okay, don't look at me like that, this is my honor. There is another sorcery very suitable for you—【Card Rune Art】. This sorcery is quite powerful. That President Luo De is indeed a genius even more powerful than Laplace Howard.

Write strengthening or cursing commands on blank cards using ancient runes, such as strengthening one's own power, strengthening defense, acceleration, or enemy physical strength draining, weakening, etc., and then convert them into casting media, and then use cards to strengthen and weaken one's own side and the enemy side.

In the materials the Society gave me, President Luo De has already researched 8 combinations of ancient runes for 'Card Rune Art.' If you are interested later, you can continue to research them yourself. This is the research result of President Luo De in his later years and the culmination of his life's work. This sorcery can almost be considered to have created a new style of casting."

Xia De couldn't help but click his tongue, and Leisia asked curiously:

"What is the reason why this sorcery was not promoted? Is it also because of the problem of casting materials?"

"No, this time it's because the learning conditions are very harsh. This is a sorcery that integrates Enlightenment Elements, the Prophecy School, and Ancient Rune Studies. The prerequisite for learning is a fairly high level of academic knowledge."

"The Society gave me a book list. I will help you borrow them from the Academy library later, and you can study them slowly. Fortunately, you are two people, and there is the learning bonus of the 【Secret Keeper's Hall】. I think mastering this sorcery is not difficult, but whether you want to improve it depends on your own wishes."

Leisia and Dorothy did not refuse. The sorcery Xia De chose was indeed very suitable for them. As for learning, the girls were never afraid of it; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to walk to this step.

"However, sealing an object and using cards to cast spells, why does this sound more and more like the 【Calamity Cards】 of the 'Calamity Beast' series? The 【Calamity Cards】 of the 'Strong Legacy' series seal the imprints and echoes of dead strong people... It seems that the past Luvia really got the true transmission of the Prophecy Society."

"Then what about you? Xia De, what did you gain from those materials?"

Dorothy didn't know what Xia De was thinking, so she continued to ask. Xia De had read the materials for two full hours before Leisia arrived and had basically read all the materials the Society gave him:

"I can also try to learn the sorcery 【Sealing Contract】. After all, carrying cards is definitely more convenient than carrying toys, but whether it will be successful is not certain."

"In addition, there are some interesting incantations related to Luo De Cards in the materials. I will try to learn them during the holiday. After all, after I wrote my name on the playing cards, my control over the playing cards is already very strong. Although I have no intention of the card system's ability, trying some interesting powers is also very good."

"Then what about the origin of the so-called 【Myriad Manifestations Cards】? Is there any content about this part in the materials?"

Leisia asked again. She didn't feed Xia De food anymore but picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Dorothy across Xia De.

Xia De replied:

"Yes, but very little. In fact, regarding the origin of the Myriad Manifestations Cards, there have been researchers in the Prophecy Society in every generation after President Luo De. It's just that the Myriad Manifestations Cards themselves have special properties, and it's difficult for people to notice their special features, even professional fortune tellers are no exception."

Dorothy sipped the wine and kissed Xia De, followed by Leisia. Little Mia saw this scene and thought Xia De was not as good as itself. After all, the cat only needed Xia De to deliver the food to its front.

"You eat your own, really don't have to be like this... In fact, except for Luvia and those Chosen Ones who noticed the special properties of the playing cards, no mortal has yet appeared who has noticed the special nature of the 【Myriad Manifestations Cards】. There is nothing I need in these materials. I think the next step is probably to start from the Ancient Ones to further know the secrets of the playing cards."

Xia De said, and remembered the Myriad Manifestations Cards mentioned by the "What If" under the tower being older than the "First People."

"Do you know what the First People mean?"

Xia De asked the girls, but they didn't know what the word meant. Xia De thought about trying to ask the "Mermaid" next time they met. As for whether the other party would appear in front of him again, this question didn't need to be thought about at all.

The three discussed the topic of playing cards for a few more sentences, and then Xia De asked:

"Speaking of which, Leisia, you are also preparing to advance to the Tenth Ring, right? Our High-Ring Sublimation Words have already been determined, and Dorothy chose "Snow White" early on. So what is your choice?"

Dorothy's three Sublimation Words correspond to "The Little Match Girl," "Cinderella," and "Snow White," while Leisia's first two Sublimation Words correspond to "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Little Mermaid."

If following the rule Xia De summarized of Dorothy's "Ordinary Girl -> Intermediate State (about to marry the Prince) -> True Princess" and Leisia's "True Princess -> Intermediate State (abandoning the Princess status) -> Ordinary Girl," the fairy tale Leisia chose probably had nothing to do with a princess.

Leisia also confirmed Xia De's guess:

"It was decided some time ago. Dorothy and I discussed it, and the tutors at the Zalas Literature Academy also said it was no problem. The final choice is the story of the classic fairy tale "The Gray Wolf and the Girl." The Sublimation Words are—【Evil plays the role of kindness, the sharp blade gives birth to new life】."

"The core Spirit Rune is 【Role-play】, and it requires four Spirit Runes: 【Evil】, 【Kindness】, 【Sharp Blade/Weapon】, and 【New Life】. It just so happens that Dorothy's High-Ring Sublimation Words also need 【New Life】. We plan to take 【New Life】 as the last Spirit Rune that needs to be acquired, which can be considered as confirming our dual-in-one fate."

"Dorothy's High-Ring Sublimation Words 【Snow White plays the role of a sufferer, gaining new life in the upheaval of fate】 can provide a chance to welcome a turning point, while my Sublimation Words are typical high-aggression Sublimation Words."

"The Gray Wolf and the Girl? What story is this?"

Xia De continued to ask curiously. Dorothy explained:

"It's the story of the Little Red Riding Hood girl going into the forest to visit her grandmother, but both the grandmother and she are eaten by the Big Bad Wolf, but in the end, everyone is saved by the hunter. Xia De, you don't even know this?"

The Outlander suddenly realized:

"Of course I know. There is also a bridge where the Big Bad Wolf disguises himself as Little Red Riding Hood to deceive the grandmother, and then disguises himself as the grandmother to try to deceive the hunter. It's just that the name of the story I know is not this. I thought the story was called "Little Red Riding Hood"."

"This is very normal, because of language differences and version differences, these classic fairy tales passed down from ancient times have many names. I even know that some versions of the story are called "The Wolf of Wei-walking." But the new fairy tale we are going to choose for you next is not this one. I haven't studied the story of "The Gray Wolf and the Girl" thoroughly yet."

Leisia used a napkin to help Xia De wipe the corner of his mouth:

"It just so happens that it's a holiday now. Dorothy and I will discuss the matter of the new fairy tale again, and then tell you when we have an idea."

"This is not urgent, but speaking of which, I might not be in Tobesk this Saturday. Danister hasn't determined the specific departure time yet. I'll ask her again when I go to the Academy tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, Xia De, we are not the kind of girls who are petty."

Dorothy asked again:

"But how long will you be out?"

"It's impossible to end in one day, but it won't exceed a week. Danister also understands the basic situation of Mount Karas. That mountain is not big, and there are very few traces left after the tower collapsed."

"That's good. We can't stand not seeing you for a whole week, Xia De. You are really like a succubus in the story~ Come, open your mouth, I'll blow the soup in the spoon cool~"

During dinner, everyone talked about business, so after dinner, they could talk about some improper things. Dorothy and Leisia appeared together, not to chat with Xia De about their studies; otherwise, one person would be enough.

This was still the first time they had spent time alone with Xia De outside the 21-day cycle—the celebration party that night was not just the two of them—so the girls were a little impatient.

However, there were not many creative ideas today. The play "The Wife's Sister," which corresponded to the two of them that night at the celebration party, was exciting enough, so tonight there was only the most normal way and the most normal game.

And when the city clock tower in the distance struck eleven o'clock at night, the writer and the princess lying on Xia De's left and right didn't want to move anymore.

"Xia De, don't continue to look for ways to 'treat' us, okay? Just keep it like this. This situation is already the most perfect."

"You don't want to see each other every day?"

"Even as ordinary sisters, how many opportunities are there to see each other every day? It's better to maintain the status quo, maintain the status quo where there can occasionally be some surprises."

The red hair and blonde hair were a bit messy, and their voices were also a bit tired:

"After experiencing the War of Fate, we also understand that our own special nature is two sides of one body. The repulsion and mutual attraction of souls are dual-in-one. If our problems are really solved, my fate and Dorothy's fate will be separated."

"We don't want to be two real people, but we don't want to be one real person either. So, Xia De, just keep it as it is now. I hope you don't think we are a bit greedy."

"Of course I won't think so. Well then, let's keep the current state first. But I will continue to help you collect Red Butterfly cards. After all, without the restriction of cards, your souls will continue to merge."

The girls gave a light "um," and soon fell into a deep sleep on both sides of Xia De.

Among the five members of the group, the problems of the priest, the doctor, Xia De, and Luvia were far from being solved, while Dorothy's problem seemed to have found a final solution. It was just that Xia De was still a bit worried, but he couldn't find what his inspiration had foreseen.

"Then do you know?"

He asked in his heart, and the gentle moonlight outside the window responded to him:
