Chapter 4113: Triple Wisdom

~9 min read 1,756 words

The withering crystal was a trophy Xia De obtained after killing the "Shadow of Withering." Although Xia De found the 【Withering Fire Ring】 in the Sixth Era, in his view, this crystal was even purer. Even high-level witches could not easily touch it. It was still Miss Felianna who added a protection spell to it before this crystal could be carried by the highest-level Mrs. Gustav.

The old witch gave the crystal, and Xia De checked it slightly again. After deeply experiencing the power of "Withering" in the Sixth Era, he had a deeper understanding of this crystal.

While checking, he told the witches about what happened during the "week" he left. The Withering Fire Ring, the evil object 【Life】, the demon's trail, the fighting of relics—Xia De's experiences in just one week were even more exciting than the ones they were trapped here in Gina's view.

【Outlander, you have gained insight into "Withering."】

When Xia De played with the crystal with his bare hands, "She" also reminded him softly in Xia De's ear. If this crystal could stay in his hands for a long time, Xia De was almost certain that he would definitely obtain the 【Withering】 spiritual rune. However, it was better to use this crystal on the last furnace now.

"Then let's try it."

After confirming there was no problem, Xia De took a deep breath, and then used his most powerful ice power—

"Chloe's Echo of Ice!"

Amidst the crackling sound of jumping flames, a distant sigh seemed to come. Then the witches all felt the temperature in the tent dropping rapidly, and a stream of white frost even surged from Xia De's side.

The blessing power given by Winnie was completely integrated into this spellcasting process. Then the witches saw a semi-transparent ice-blue arm extending from behind Xia De, who was sitting cross-legged beside Gina, hugging his neck. Then the head of a witch with long silver hair rested gently on Xia De's left shoulder.

Miss Felianna, the doll, moved to the side to make room for Chloe. Looking at Chloe's phantom with button-sized eyes, the expression on her face was hard to explain clearly.

Afterward, Chloe, with her eyes closed, and Xia De made the action of blowing forward together.

The frost exhaled by the two together wrapped around the crystal in Xia De's palm. Even the bonfire containing life force between everyone was suppressed at this moment. The cat, which didn't like the cold, meowed uncomfortably, but fortunately, the spellcasting process this time was not long.

And after Chloe's figure behind Xia De dissipated, the crystal in his hand had turned into a crystal-clear ice crystal.

"There is no problem now. Even I can hardly feel the power of withering."

He handed the crystal to the other witches to check, and then took out the various materials he brought this time. Of course, the most important thing was the "doll materials" prepared for Miss Felianna. She wanted to use these materials to make substitute dolls for the three witches and Xia De.

So Miss Doll also got busy, and the witches also had their own things to do.

Miss Bredwe very enthusiastically wanted to cook for everyone. With flames containing life fire seeds, she could also show her culinary skills. Mrs. Gustav organized the spellcasting materials Xia De brought. In the case that Miss Felianna did not participate much in the battle, she was the highest-level witch.

As for Gina, she helped Miss Felianna do some preparatory work for making dolls. Even a demigod witch needed an assistant.

Amidst the aroma of food, Xia De, who had nothing to do, treated the meat tumors on everyone's bodies again, and then continued to share his recent encounters. The witches of this era could not understand what kind of power the "world's disaster" was, but they all knew about the 【Skin-Object Clubhouse】.

"You are in the clubhouse now?"

Gina asked in surprise, sitting on her big tail:

"Then is it very dangerous now?"

"I have a witch by my side, and a unicorn girl who has mastered human transformation. There are also many witches outside the clubhouse preparing to support me. The situation now is not dangerous. Just wait patiently for my companions to break into the clubhouse. The situation should be said to be complicated. I haven't figured out who acted in the clubhouse first."

He did not say that he encountered the echo left by Blaney. These things could wait until he successfully left here. And the witches of the Fifth Era had different understandings of that Sage-level relic. It was just that the information they provided was not more detailed than the information provided by the impostor and Desire. Even for the witches of the Fifth Era, the 【Skin-Object Clubhouse】 was a very mysterious relic.

However, for the other stories Xia De shared, the witches of the Fifth Era provided some effective suggestions and views.

When Xia De mentioned the current state of Viga's sister, Aurora Lemay, Mrs. Gustav actually said:

"Using alchemy to turn human flesh and soul into a mixed solution? I didn't expect that someone could actually reproduce such technology."

Xia De asked curiously:

"Has this kind of technology appeared in the past?"

The old witch then told Xia De a truth:

"You can use the most despicable, disgusting, and dirty eyes to look at the crazy researchers who lived in the Fourth Era. If a kind of alchemy that is blasphemous and twisted in your eyes appears, then it must have been studied during the Fourth Era.

The Fourth Era was the darkest and most chaotic era. The people of that era had almost touched the lowest limit of morality. There was nothing they couldn't think of. The technology you mentioned originally had two uses..."

She hesitated, but thinking that the people here were all determined, she said it:

"One use is direct consumption. Some people wanted to enhance themselves through cannibalism, but were disgusted by the taste of human flesh, so they developed this technology. They regarded this technology as a manifestation of elegance and despised the direct eating method, thinking that they were the ones with the most style.

There is another use, which is human trafficking. I once read some stories from the Fourth Era. In that era, mysterious merchants driving carriages to transport jars and cans were probably trafficking people."

"But I don't quite understand, why did the alchemist I mentioned divide her daughter into four? If it was just for preservation, there should be no need to separate her?"

Miss Felianna, who was busy with Gina, had her own guess:

"This might involve spiritual mathematics, and it might also involve the 'Emerald Tablet.' Although I haven't read the complete Emerald Tablet, I also know that the book believes that the ancient God of Creation is a mentor who masters the so-called 'Triple Greatness,' and the wisdom of the 'Emerald Tablet' can be divided into three parts—astrology, alchemy, and theurgy.

If the so-called Perfect Child is really created according to the 'Emerald Tablet,' then dividing into four means cutting life into three parts to practice the Triple Wisdom and realize the Triple Greatness. The fourth part is to ensure the existence of a main body to prevent the other three parts from being unable to fuse.

Of course, there is also this possibility: in the field of ring-mages, four usually means the four elements. That alchemist might be conducting a ritual to allow life to realize a complete four-element cycle. The one in the 【Skin-Object Clubhouse】 corresponds to whisper, symbolizing the wisdom of alchemy; the one found in the storybook corresponds to enlightenment, which might be the main body of that girl."

She stated her conjecture very clearly. Although she didn't know much information, she also guessed the most likely situation.

Xia De was very convinced of this:

"In this way, the remaining two parts are related to astrology and theurgy, and correspond to miracle elements and blasphemy elements."

Xia De felt that he had some guesses, but this still had to wait until he returned to the Sixth Era to verify.

As for the technology to restore this kind of life that had been transformed into a solution, although Mrs. Gustav herself had not mastered it, she knew that the church's literature must have it:

"This is very advanced human alchemy. Unless it is a witch who specializes in this, others rarely dabble in it. If there is a chance, I can take you to the church to find information."

But Xia De probably didn't have such time this time. However, since it was confirmed that there were such life form reversal means in ancient times, there was no need to wait for Viga's mother to appear before Aurora Lemay could be restored to human form.

Regarding what means Peggy Lemay used, the old witch and Miss Felianna had many views. As for whether the "Perfect Child" could really be manufactured, they did not express their views. After all, the era Xia De was in was different from their era.

As for "First Child," "Ancient God's Test," and "Twilight," the witches all had many views.

Xia De learned about these things from the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 and gradually determined that this was indeed related to the Chosen One ritual. And the witches living in the Fifth Era also knew some things related to it.

The halfling god that the halfling girl believed in was related to the 【Twilight Creator】. She had heard similar legends from her sister:

"When twilight approaches, before the final darkness descends, the first children created by the ancient god will appear again, and the mission given at the beginning of birth will come to its final end."

Miss Bredwe introduced:

"When I was a child, my sister told me about this prophecy circulating among the halfling race. She said the general meaning was that one day the first children created by the ancient god would appear again, and then it would be everyone's death—my sister liked to scare me with such stories, she always liked to do that."

The halfling girl's words confirmed the authenticity of the prophecy circulating to the Sixth Era. It was just that Miss Bredwe had been very focused on her own job as a baker and mechanic in her hometown town in the past, and did not participate much in church affairs, so she did not know much about the more detailed situation of the prophecy. ===== CHAPTER 4114 =====
