Chapter 4029

Luweiya was very interested in Winnie's ability to freeze life, and she asked again:

"Then Winnie, can your power affect the activity of 'Twisted Life Fire Seed'? Besides the two powers of death and withering, extreme cold should also be the nemesis of life."

Winnie thought for a while:

"The cold of Her Majesty Chloe can even freeze time. If Her Majesty were here, her cold could freeze any form of life fire seed. I don't have the power of a demigod witch. With my current Twelfth-Ring level and the characteristics of my own race, if I take action personally, I can indeed suppress the activity of the life fire seed to a certain extent, but the effect will not be better than 'Wither'."

Luweiya was very satisfied with this result:

"Then let's try it."

She signaled Xia De to activate the fire source and let it hover in the air, and then Winnie gently spat a frost at the flame eye. The white frost touched the "flame" and made a hissing sound, but no water vapor was produced. The fire source was still hovering in the air, but the firelight around the eye was clearly suppressed.

Iluna reached out and touched it:

"I can feel the chill, so Winnie's power can indeed suppress the life fire seed. In this way, Winnie, you also have to be prepared to go to the Arcadia region to help Xia De at any time."

The loyal maid nodded with a smile:

"Yes, I am waiting for the summons at any time."

Afterwards, Xia De took out the eyeball he obtained from the Ringed Shushi of the 【Blood Spirit School】. It could store life force because it was a living organ. The eyeball had undergone some modifications, making the life force stored in it dissipate more slowly.

Xia De's original intention was to bring it back and let everyone study it, but the young ladies didn't want to touch this thing.

"Xia De, this is just an eyeball, you should turn it into a toy card and put it away. When it is inconvenient to use the fire source or the mark, use this to collect life force. Or give this to the witch's followers, at least they have a way to retain life force when you are not there."

Iluna had just returned from another place and could take a day off tomorrow, so she was not in a hurry to go back, so she stayed with Winnie and discussed the things that happened tonight with everyone.

At nine o'clock in the evening, footsteps appeared from the basement, and then Danister arrived at home. She was not surprised that there were so many people at home. Seeing that Xia De had changed into home clothes, Danister asked:

"Xia De, do you have time now? I have already prepared the learning ritual for 【Corrupt Moon Flower】. The moon phases of today and tomorrow are both suitable for learning this miracle."

This miracle was learned according to Miss Feilian's request, so Xia De stood up:

"Since it's ready, I'll go learn it tonight, and I can tell you about what happened in Arcadia just now."

Luweiya didn't say that Xia De hadn't been free all night this time. She, Iluna, and Winnie sent Xia De and Danister to the basement. Little Mia was probably in a good mood because it had eaten a delicious midnight snack and got a new ring, so it followed Xia De.

After the two and one cat left, Luweiya asked Iluna:

"You don't have anything else to do tomorrow, do you want to stay here tonight?"

The eighteen-year-old girl asked embarrassedly:

"Xia De is not coming back, right? Staying at St. Byrons?"

Luweiya raised her eyebrows:

"Whether Xia De comes back or not, what does it have to do with whether you stay?"

Iluna looked at Luweiya again, carrying her hands behind her back and being even more embarrassed:

"If Xia De comes back, aren't you going to live with him?"

Winnie laughed on the side, and Luweiya also laughed:

"What are you talking about? Although I often stay here, I don't go to Xia De every night. Regardless of whether Xia De comes back or not, you should stay here tonight and live together. We can also whisper some late-night whispers.

Winnie, don't go either. Anyway, you need to make breakfast tomorrow morning. Neither Iluna nor I have better craftsmanship than you. Stay and spend the night with us. You haven't lived in this house yet, right... right?"

The three young ladies left the basement together, while Xia De and Danister had already arrived at the school library. The ritual was not held here. Danister took Xia De from the teleportation array in the library hall, first arrived at the edge of the "Unicorn Forest," and then Danister summoned two unicorns that were walking here, carrying the two all the way to the northern grassland.

The unicorn that Danister was riding was clearly not enthusiastic about Danister at all.

After five minutes of flight, the unicorns landed beside a small stream in the grassland. The two unicorns rubbed Xia De's back of the hand together, and then returned to their habitat together. Danister looked at their backs moving away in the dark night with great emotion:

"In the past, the unicorns of the academy also liked me very much."

Xia De had already let Little Mia out at this time. The cat looked at the surroundings curiously. The night breeze in spring was very comfortable, and both Little Mia and Xia De felt very comfortable.

"Then will you blame me for this?"

"What are you talking about, Xia De? What is there to blame?"

The small stream wound and flowed under the moonlight. When standing on the grassland and looking up at the sea of stars and the three moons overhead, Xia De even had the feeling that he had returned to the Silver Moon Dream.

The stream was very shallow, paved with pebbles at the bottom, like a silver ribbon in the night. Animals living in this grassland would drink water by the stream. Xia De saw two fawns with blue starlight on their antlers drinking water from a distance, but he didn't recognize what kind of animal this was.

And in front of the two, a sea of flowers composed of silver-blue small flowers was swaying gently in the night breeze. Starry light was jumping between the flowers. Danister stood in the sea of flowers with a smile and looked up at the starry sky:

"Very beautiful, right?"

Xia De recognized this flower:

"Indeed very beautiful. This is a Star Flower, right? I remember when Emilia lived in the treehouse in the Vistalin Forest, besides raising those chocobos, she also made a large field of Star Flowers."

"Yes, it was because of that field of flowers that she barely passed the herbal medicine exam last year."

Danister nodded, signaling Xia De to lie down in the sea of flowers:

"Don't move around no matter what happens in a while, and don't get up until the ritual is completely over."

"No problem."

Xia De then walked into the flower field carefully and lay down in the center of the flower field. Little Mia jumped onto Xia De's chest. Xia De wanted it to leave, but Danister told him it was okay:

"After you lie down, your hands can move. Just control Little Mia not to touch those flowers."

"Okay."

Xia De then wanted to hold the cat in his chest with his hands, but Little Mia had already lain down, clearly having no intention of running around.

The ritual array that had already been arranged on the ground of the flower field gradually lit up with the sound of Danister chanting. Runes shone on the earth under the night sky, and the suddenly blowing wind made Little Mia's beautiful gold-and-white intertwined hair sway even more violently.

Xia De didn't need to do anything at all. This ritual didn't even require him to close his eyes. He stared at the moon overhead at first, thinking about how to invite Danister home in a while, and then noticed that the silver-blue small flowers around him gradually turned into crimson like the red moon.

Danister seemed to be reciting poetry. Xia De distinguished it carefully and found that the poem was praising a city that had fallen into flesh deformity under the curse of the red moon.

The people in that city blasphemed the moon on the first night, partied all night on the second night, grew sores on their hands and feet on the third night, flesh rotted on the fourth night, the whole body deformed on the fifth night, cried and repented on the sixth night, and left the city on the seventh night, starting the road of pilgrimage and repentance under the red moon.

That ancient poem described the scene of the city falling into the red moon curse with very rich details, and tried its best to praise the red moon that cast the curse.

When Danister recited halfway, all the Star Flowers turned into crimson; and when she recited to the end of the poem, besides the ritual array on the ground of the flower sea being fully activated, those crimson small flowers also began to change towards the color of blood.

And Xia De was very sure that he smelled the smell of blood.

At the end of the poem was the confession of the sinners cursed under the red moon. While reciting this ending, dense small bubbles appeared on the surface of those beautiful blood-colored flowers in the flower field, and then the bubbles on the flowers and stems burst one by one, letting the sticky and rotten blood flow to the ground.

There was the singing of a sad girl in the wind. The voice sounded like it was repenting, and it sounded like it was simply wailing in the face of the red moon.

The flower field that looked beautiful just now was now full of foul-smelling blood plasma everywhere. And those foul-smelling red liquids gathered towards Xia De in the center again. After Danister finished reciting the poem, when she looked up again, she saw a huge closed crimson flower bud wrapping Xia De and Little Mia in the center.

The flower bud radiated ominous red light, but it was exceptionally strange and charming under the night sky.

"Really smooth. Xia De learning moon-series miracles, wouldn't there be no possibility of failure at all?"

The witch thought in her heart, watching the colors on the flower bud gradually fade, injecting all the power into the center. Afterwards, the rotten red emerged on the flower bud again. While that "Corrupt Moon Flower" slowly bloomed towards the surroundings, Danister also slowly retreated.

Petals with scarlet rotten colors fell to the ground, and then turned into red light spots and disappeared. And in the center of the flower bud, Xia De had already stood up holding Little Mia. At this moment, in his hand, he was twisting a Corrupt Moon Flower that symbolized "flesh deformity/corruption."

【Outsider, you have obtained the miracle - Corrupt Moon Flower: Call moonlight under the red moon, condense the Corrupt Moon Flower. After casting the spell, a certain area falls into the 'Red Moon Curse' state. Flesh creatures will enter the process of corruption and deformity, and non-flesh creatures will also be affected to varying degrees. Corresponds to 【Red Moon】 spirit rune.】
