~10 min read 1,838 words

Seeing Xia De's suspicious look, Miss Doll smiled and said:

"Rest assured, I will not lie to you."

"Alright, but let's try to avoid such things... After I leave this time, I also learned a very impressive flesh corruption miracle in the outside world. Relying on this miracle, I even defeated a thirteenth-ring mage who also possessed a Source of Fire."

"Flower of Corroded Moon" was the power Miss Felianna let Xia De master to "deal with" gods. Of course, the witch did not specify this miracle, only saying to let Xia De learn the power related to the red moon, pointing directly to the essence of "flesh distortion."

Xia De revealed at this moment that he had completed the study, which could be considered as informing Miss Felianna that he had not forgotten this matter.

And Miss Doll really did not ask for more details about the miracle, only letting Xia De prepare to attack with all his might. They both knew that the new life forged by the "Life Furnace" was definitely not the last enemy of this trip.

The miracle secret methods created by Miss Felianna based on the "Source of Fire" also had learning value for Xia De. The vision of a demigod witch was far from what an Outlander could compare to. During the time everyone was making final preparations, he flipped through the notebook and conducted simple learning.

And the dolls Miss Felianna prepared for everyone were ready in ten minutes. Xia De, Gina, Miss Bredwe, and Mrs. Gustav each had one. The size of those dolls was the same as the petite Felianna, and they were all in a cute style.

Miss Felianna used alchemy to make them. The old witch on the side clearly felt that this headmaster of Saint Byron's used the handiwork of forbidden human alchemy, but she didn't dare to voice her suspicion.

The four dolls had not been fully activated, so they looked like beautiful toys after being manufactured. Miss Felianna personally guided a small amount of fire seeds from the Source of Fire and stored them inside the dolls, ensuring that they could exert their effects when necessary.

The doll of Mrs. Gustav captured the characteristic that she was still elegant despite being old. Miss Bredwe's doll was even smaller and cuter than she was. Gina's doll's big tail made her doll a size larger than the others, and only Xia De's doll's face was blank.

"This doll is indeed me in terms of clothing and figure, but why isn't the facial features depicted?"

Xia De asked curiously while holding the doll with his left hand. And Little Mia, who was curious about everything, only took a look at the doll this time and looked away, not even having the interest to lean over to Xia De's hand to sniff it.

Miss Felianna, who was sitting back on Xia De's shoulder, answered:

"Your face cannot be easily depicted, so such a faceless image is enough. As for why... you can treat this question as a small homework. When you figure it out, come and tell me your answer."

Everyone was required to carry their own dolls. When appropriate, they would throw them out, and the dolls would replace everyone as the "main body" to confuse the vision of certain existences.

Although knowing that trying to deceive a god with this method was fundamentally impossible, Xia De still tied the doll to his waist with silk thread like the witches, ensuring that he could touch it when needed. Miss Felianna currently did not count as a normal life, so she did not need to prepare for herself. As for Little Mia, the cat could be turned into a toy at any time, so it didn't need to either.

The fragrant food prepared by the halfling girl was soon distributed to everyone's hands. Even Miss Doll was eating a piece of biscuit. No one spoke while eating, because everyone knew that they would set off after this, and if they were unlucky, this meal might be the last supper.

"It's my turn to listen to the crying this time."

After drinking the black tea in the teacup, the halfling girl said, and experienced a dream even more grotesque than before in a short sleep. After waking up from the dream, the crying sound appeared in her ears smoothly, and the sound in Gina's ears also needed three more rooms to disappear, so there were two guides in the group at this time.

Packing up the camp did not take too much time, and there was nothing everyone needed on the shelves in the room. Little Mia was stuffed back into Xia De's pocket by Xia De when everyone was ready to set off.

"Then let's set off."

Mrs. Gustav said. The four people looked at each other and nodded together, while the guides pointed in the same direction:

"The door is this way."

After bypassing the rusty shelves, the old witch opened the door, confirmed safety, and walked in with everyone.

"This is..."

No unbearable environment and terrifying monsters were waiting for everyone behind the door. The new room was about the same size as the tool room just now, but except for four one-meter-high stone pillars placed in the center of the room, there was nothing.

The blood mist in the room was not dense, and inexplicable red light beams shone down from the ceiling, illuminating the four stone basins placed on the four stone pillars.

"Another safe room?"

Xia De and the witches were equally puzzled, and after approaching the four stone basins, they discovered that different items were placed at the bottom of each stone basin.

"This is 【Ten Thousand Things Blood Essence】. Oh, there is actually such a big piece!"

"The liquid in this stone basin seems to be high-concentration life water that only ancient elves would make."

"This is... relic 【Distant Pupil】? I have only read about this magic eye in my sister's book. It can fix the life form of the holder at a certain moment. This life solidification effect can almost not be broken by any means."

Xia De looked at the silver liquid in the last stone basin. The whisper elements were really too obvious:

"This is 【Active Metal】?"

Miss Felianna on his shoulder also looked at the liquid, just wanted to nod, but suddenly hugged Xia De's neck and leaned out to look at the liquid in the basin more carefully, and finally shook her head seriously:

"No, it is not 【Active Metal】. This is probably that thing in the rumors. Its nature is very similar to 【Active Metal】, but it is more powerful than 【Active Metal】. Ancient researchers believed that this thing is purer 【Active Metal】, it is 【Active Metal】 after qualitative change.

But I obtained information about the mythological era from you, so I am afraid that the relic we are seeing now is the one that truly originates from the 'First Child'."

She said the name of the relic that Xia De could never think of:

"【Mercury Blood】!"

The Outlander's thoughts were brought back to two years ago. The summer of 1853 was exactly when the organization pursuing 【Mercury Blood】 finally promoted the meeting of Xia De, Luvia, and Iluna in order to obtain the 【God's Gift Box】, and finally let Iluna complete the Chosen One ritual.

The Angel-level relic 【Mercury Blood】 had long been lost, and for the Sixth Era, it was not even certain whether it really existed. The ring-mages led by "Silver-Eyed One" hoped to synthesize this relic through the 【God's Gift Box】, but they failed in the end.

And in the now long before the story back then, Xia De saw 【Mercury Blood】.

He was a bit lost and a bit emotional, but he didn't know how to express his thoughts. Finally, he just said:

"【Mercury Blood】 wouldn't be the blood of the 'First Children', right? 【Active Metal】 is the degraded 【Mercury Blood】?"

"No one can answer this question. I am also seeing the real object of this relic for the first time, and I cannot even judge whether my identification is accurate."

Miss Felianna said softly. Gina then asked:

"So, can we take these things away? Will we encounter the Shadow of Withering from last time after taking them away?"

The witches had not encountered such a room before, and the information they collected did not record it. But the four items in the four stone basins were very useful to everyone, so they indeed wanted to obtain these items.

"There seem to be letters on the side of the stone basin."

The shortest halfling girl reminded, so everyone conducted a more detailed inspection of the four stone basins. The runes on the stone basins were all different. This ancient language could only be translated by Xia De and Miss Felianna. The four runes corresponded to four different nouns—

"Blood, Milk, Stem/Leaf (phonetic loan), Amniotic Fluid."

Mrs. Gustav then had a guess:

"We need to offer the corresponding materials to the stone basin to get the items in the basin?"

Xia De took the risk to try to touch the items in the basin directly with his hand. Sure enough, he couldn't touch them no matter what. Miss Felianna agreed with the old witch's view:

"This is similar to a sacrifice, and the four materials for the sacrifice are all related to the origin of life. This room is quite interesting. However, it is not certain how much liquid needs to be offered, so do you want to do this?

Blood is the simplest. Everyone here probably can't get amniotic fluid. As for the remaining two..."

The witches looked at Xia De together. The old witch's expression was normal, the simple halfling girl's face flushed, and the dragon girl's big tail began to sweep behind her again.

"Xia De, there is a material that only you can find a way to obtain."

Gina said in a low voice. Xia De looked at her, feeling that the pink dragon girl said this on purpose, so he nodded:

"Yes, only I can. I can find a way to obtain milk."

"Ah?"

"I have read a relatively primitive version of the 'Book of Pink,' which records some spells that can make... girls produce this liquid unconditionally. Although I haven't used that kind of power, the ritual materials required are very basic, and I have them on me. If you are willing, I can perform a spellcasting attempt."

"I am already old, I am afraid I can only let the young girls come."

Mrs. Gustav said. Gina and Miss Bredwe did not expect Xia De to say this, and both of their faces were redder than just now. The halfling girl swept over Gina's figure, then looked down at her own plain-looking self, and opened her mouth before Gina:

"Let Gina do it. The milk production of halfling women cannot compare to dragons. Our race does not have that advantage." ===== CHAPTER 4116 =====
