Chapter 4014: Positive and Negative
Princess Lei Qianya answered Xia De's question while holding Ajia's hand, following Xia De up the stairs:
"If everything goes well, I plan to let Ajia set off next Tuesday. Aunt said that the 【Witch Council】 will be responsible for Ajia's travel, and she can probably arrive in one go, without needing her to take a steam train."
The maid ladies followed behind with luggage; the princess staying outside the palace also needs to bring a lot of luggage.
"Is Ajia going alone? Or are there capable people arranged to follow her?"
Xia De asked again, and Ajia answered herself:
"I will bring two personal maids, but they will set off by steam train in advance, and Aunt will send two people to escort them all the way. I will meet them four in Arcadia, and sister said that these four people will be my team in the future."
Although Princess Lei Qianya is sometimes very harsh on Ajia, now that Ajia is really going to leave her temporarily, she is a bit worried again. After all, this is not a large-scale operation, even if Xia De goes to Arcadia every day, she is still worried about Ajia:
"Xia De, this time I will let Ajia carry the two relics you gave her, which are the Sage-level relic 【Soul Gem】 and the Document-level relic 【Enemy of the Arrow】, with her.
You are busy with your own affairs in Arcadia first, but if you have time, remember to take care of Ajia."
"No problem."
Xia De agreed, but when the group reached the second floor, he hesitated for a moment, but still told Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy the bad news:
"This afternoon I heard that there might be an evil spirit demon hiding in Arcadia."
The writer lady and the princess could guess where Xia De got the news. Dorothy looked at Princess Lei Qianya worriedly, Princess Lei Qianya took a deep breath, but did not say not to let Ajia go to that city:
"In short, please pay attention to safety, whether it is Xia De or Ajia... pay attention to safety."
In fact, Ajia herself had a very complicated mood about leaving her hometown and going to a strange city that her sister and parents had never been to.
On one hand, she worried about the future, thinking about whether she could compare with other girls of the same generation if she really became a witch apprentice; but on the other hand, she was full of ambition. Ajia has always had great ambitions, whether it is for politics, her own power, or Xia De, she has her own ideas.
This time, being able to temporarily get rid of her past identity and go to study under a Great Witch as a pure ring sorcerer, she was very looking forward to the harvest she could get.
And the chaos in the Arcadia region near the Eastern Front, in Ajia's view, is also an opportunity. Although she is mainly a ring sorcerer, she also has her own small ambitions in politics.
And her future teacher happens to fully control the "Gray Rock Pass," the most critical position to enter the Eastern Front. Ajia believes that she will definitely be able to assist her teacher to achieve great things.
But in fact, Vigo doesn't care much about politics.
Today Princess Lei Qianya brought Ajia here, also meaning to let Xia De tell Ajia about the current situation in Arcadia in person. Her and Galina's retelling is ultimately not as good as Xia De telling it in person.
This of course took up the "dating time" of Saturday, but neither Princess Lei Qianya nor Dorothy cared. So this night, Xia De spent two hours telling Ajia about his actions in Arcadia in the past half month, and described in detail the enemies that might appear recently.
"【Blood Spirit School】, 【Truth Society】, 【Holy Child Alliance】, traitors of the 【Creation Church】, 【Magic Eye Club】 related to the traitors, 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 that has conflicts with the Chaos Great Witch, possible demons, lurking 'Mermaid' followers, and a bunch of active machinery, corpses, and life distortions that appeared due to the Fire Seed Source riot."
Ajia summarized the dangers she might encounter locally, and Princess Lei Qianya reminded:
"Most of the enemies in this are not what you can deal with."
She said to Xia De again:
"Xia De, those amulets the priest gave you..."
Xia De doesn't need amulets himself, so he has two extra amulets in his hand, but Dorothy said:
"One of Xia De's two amulets is to be given to the Chaos Great Witch, and the other might be taken out by the 【Witch Council】 as a bargaining chip. Let's use mine; it's useless to keep it with me."
Princess Lei Qianya held Dorothy's hand:
"Don't be anxious, Ajia is not setting off until next week, and the priest can make new amulets next week."
She sat on the short sofa looking at her sister, and wanted to urge some things, but finally did not speak.
Although the time was a bit late, Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy, who occupied a night every week, still felt that if they didn't have class, it would seem that they had wasted time in vain, so before resting that night, the girls still studied with Xia De in the study.
The story of "Blood Deception" takes place under the blood moon, which sounds a bit like "Crazy Moon," but in fact, the red moon itself has the ability to induce reproduction and flesh-and-blood variation.
"When ancient druids learned transformation, they liked to choose the night of the full red moon as the ritual time. Families praying for children would also pray under the moon phase of the full red moon. This can be seen in many ancient stories.
But from the negative meaning, on the night of the full red moon, the activity of dangerous alien species related to flesh and blood, such as blood-sucking species, will increase significantly. If the yellow moon corresponds to the chaos at the spiritual level, then the red moon is the chaos of flesh and blood."
Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy sat on the inside of the desk, and Xia De sat alone on the outside of the desk. Princess Lei Qianya took out a ruby while saying:
"This time we don't discuss the story of "Blood Deception" itself, Dorothy and I discussed it and wanted to discuss those 'Red Moon-like miracles' with you. This is not the power of the real moon, but spellcasting by imitating the moon.
Ring sorcerers of the orthodox moon system like you and Dannister probably look down on this, but since there are similarities, maybe it's useful to you."
Princess Lei Qianya threw the ruby the size of a quail egg into the high sky:
"Spell·Disease Curse."
The ruby stayed at a high place and emitted an eerie blood-colored light, illuminating a small area on the desk into red.
Dorothy explained to Xia De:
"The curse of the red moon can directly cause flesh-and-blood distortion and flesh-and-blood corruption in the human body, and this spell that imitates the power of the red moon only causes malignant tumors in the body of individuals who are irradiated by this red light for a long time, and eventually leads to their death.
This kind of ruby cursed with a spell is usually hidden in lamps, and its visible light is hidden, which is often used in the courts of ordinary people in ancient times."
As soon as Xia De heard it, he immediately stopped Little Mia who wanted to go under the red light to see, and forcibly transferred her to his leg:
"Although this spell is simple, it indeed has similar attributes to the power of the red moon, looking like a weakened version of the red moon curse."
Xia De then told the girls about the flesh-and-blood distortion miracle prepared for him by Dannister:
"【Corrupt Blood Mist】 and 【Blood Moon Arc】 are just external manifestations of the red moon in terms of 'flesh-and-blood distortion,' Dannister said 【Flower of the Corrupt Moon】 is the essence that points directly to the negative symbolism of the red moon.
However, in the story of "Blood Deception," those robbers mimicked animals, which doesn't look like complete flesh-and-blood distortion either."
"Positive and negative are two extremes, and real power rarely directly shows such extreme characteristics. When the blood-colored moonlight covers the earth, the stable form becomes unstable because of the distortion of flesh and blood. Perhaps what affects the final form of the robbers in the story is not the moonlight itself, but their own hearts."
Dorothy said with a smile:
"Although this sounds a bit fairy-tale, I am willing to believe that this is the truth."
Xia De thought of the reminder given to everyone by the tailor skeleton in the 【Polluted Blood Factory】, which is that the body and soul influence each other.
"Xia De, you have been contacting power related to the negative imagery of the 'Red Moon' recently, why don't you contact some positive power?"
Princess Lei Qianya then suggested, Xia De thought she was talking about power related to reproduction, but this time Xia De guessed wrong.
"Your 【Flesh】 spiritual rune is associated with so many transformation techniques, and even 【Corrupt Blood Mist】 is associated with 【Flesh】. Have you ever thought that these miracles can actually be associated with 【Red Moon】. If you are interested, you can try it completely.
The miracles corresponding to these three spiritual runes of 【Red Moon】, 【Flesh】, and 【Life】 actually have many things in common."
Xia De nodded:
"I have already made similar attempts when fighting the 'Shadow of Wither' in the 【Polluted Blood Factory】, and Miss Feilian also guided me to try to give 'Light' more meanings. Look—Miracle·Life Fire Seed."
After taking out the fire seed from his body, Xia De held the fire seed in his right hand and called out the red moonlight again.
Then that slender blood-red flame gradually transformed into a glazed fire-red. That brilliant color itself was reflecting the most brilliant life force. Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya were both exclaiming:
"You can already stably combine the red moon with life energy, right? Then what is the difference between this moon-glazed fire seed and a normal fire seed?"
"Because there is an energy carrier, it can exist for a longer time, but that is only a few minutes more. Besides that, when countering 'Wither,' life force will not be immediately worn away by the power of Wither. The red moon protects life, and life also enhances the moonlight, that's about it." ===== CHAPTER 4015 =====
