Chapter 668: The Seal on the Mountainside

"Doctor, 17 seconds left."

Xia De reminded again, but he had already set his heart at ease. Holding the sword, he watched the Flame Demon's body disappear little by little on the platform in the distance, while the flames on the doctor's body became stronger and stronger.

Finally, with 10 seconds left before the doctor had to step over that door again, the Flame Demon on the platform in the center of the mountain belly's large hollow completely disappeared.

The doctor shook his right hand, which had returned to normal, and the flames on his body gradually extinguished. He turned to look at Xia De with a smile, but saw Xia De looking behind him with a surprised face.

Dr. Schneider only felt something flying past his face at high speed, and then saw a black stone with red cracks on the surface rushing toward Xia De's heart.

Xia De instinctively swung the long sword in his hand to slash. At this moment, he felt as if the sword was leading his hand, accurately piercing the black stone.

The stone was pierced by the sword, and the red cracks on the surface like flames flickered a few times before becoming completely motionless.

"This is the Flame Demon's heart. Yes, it's the Flame Demon itself, not an evil spirit demon. I didn't expect the mimicked Flame Demon to have this organ. Wait a minute..."

The doctor reached out to touch the stone that was still radiating residual heat:

"Pure Flame Demon heart, no other power. Use that bottle in the suitcase to pack it, the one I labeled. Oh, not enough time."

The doctor patted Xia De on the shoulder, and then ran into the half-opened door.

Clang! With the disappearance of the wooden door with a metal base, the metal key fell onto the stone platform. At the same time, with the doctor's departure, the two fireballs he summoned for lighting also disappeared.

The entire mountain belly hollow returned to darkness, leaving only the light yellow runes 【Clear Heart, Sword Slays Demon】 on the long sword in Xia De's hand, emitting a faint light in the darkness:

"Silver Moon!"

Holding the sword in his left hand, the silver moon lit up on Xia De's right fingertip. He squinted his eyes to look at the long sword in his hand, then bent down to pick up the key, and after packing the demon's heart pierced by the sword into the bottle prepared by the doctor in advance, he slowly walked toward the edge of the stone platform.

Standing on the wooden board in front of the broken bridge, he crossed the central stone platform and looked at the stone platform hidden in the deep darkness on the other side of the mountain belly. When the Flame Demon's flames illuminated the entire mountain belly just now, Xia De vaguely saw a stone tablet standing on the stone platform on the other side of the mountain belly.

He hesitated for a moment, raised his right hand high, and raised his right index finger:

"Silver Moon!"

Standing on the edge of the stone platform, with the abyss under his feet, the brilliant moonlight erupted from his fingertips. In an instant, the light made the mountain belly look like broad daylight, and even the long sword in his hand was dyed with moonlight. This dazzling moonlight didn't have much impact on the caster himself, so Xia De saw the full picture of the stone tablet.

The distance was too far, and he couldn't see a single letter clearly, but at least he saw the base of the stone tablet and the shape of the stone tablet itself.

The knowledge in 【Witch Echo - Miss Feilian】 immediately matched it. The style of the stone tablet opposite was clearly the style of the end of the Fifth Era. And judging from the system, this was a spellcasting method that only high-ring witches could use.

"It seems that the hallucination I saw when I raised the sword just now was true. The Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era - Violet Marshall, left a stone tablet here. And hundreds of years ago, Alfred's ancestor, that high-ring mage, didn't explore after coming here, but just left it sealed with the Flame Demon. Yes, it seems very likely that the position corresponding to here in the narrow space is that seal on the mountainside!"

Xia De extinguished the silver light on his fingertips, packed up the suitcase, wiped away the traces of the ritual, and then left here with the suitcase in one hand and the long sword in the other.

(Xiao Xiao Miya is running)

"Come, detective, let's clink glasses for friendship and today's victory!"

In the East District of Tobesk, the first and second floors of Schneider's psychological clinic had long been extinguished, but the lights in the bedroom on the third floor were still on. In the bright gas lamp light that made people feel happy, Xia De and Dr. Schneider each held a glass goblet and clinked glasses to celebrate.

The time was nine-thirty that night. The key on the wooden door by the wall had returned to its original position, the suitcase was opened and placed on the desk in the bedroom, and the bottles and jars were shining in the gas lamp light. And the long sword was wrapped in a bed sheet by Xia De, leaning against the wall at the door.

"Doctor, congratulations."

The two clinked glasses, and the middle-aged doctor could almost not suppress the smile on his face:

"It went smoother than I thought, it's really not bad. This is already the seventh demon I have devoured."

In his right eye, a terrifying scarlet light flashed, but this was just the doctor showing this extraordinary power to Xia De:

"Besides that, I also learned two new miracles related to the Flame Demon and obtained a brand new spirit rune."

Xia De raised his glass to celebrate again:

"It's a pity that you haven't held the ritual to advance to the Sixth Ring yet. The current spirit rune can only be considered Fifth Ring."

"No, no, I deliberately controlled the process of digesting the Flame Demon's power. I think if it goes well, after the Yellow Moon is full at the end of this month and the ritual is held, I can get one or two more spirit runes."

Both of them were in a good mood, so they chose to stand in front of the window that was open, blowing the night breeze and talking.

Xia De sipped the red wine that was said to be unusually expensive provided by the doctor, and looked at the night view of Tobesk with narrowed eyes:

"Doctor, are you sure that devouring such weird things won't make you lose control?" 【668-39

"My emotions might have changed in the last few days, but at least I won't lose control for now."

"They really did it. They really relied on the token of the Blood God to find the Twin Gods' sect to seek help, and they really severed the fate that plagued countless pairs of twins... It's really good. They broke their own fate; it's really not bad."

Lei Lei Qianya tilted her head and looked at him:

"In the past, why do you always encounter such strange things? I mean, the past and the present are always connected by you in this era, such as the matter of Miss Miss Feilian, and that Sage-level relic in your basement."

"Don't think of me as that kind of strange person."

Although he knew Lei Lei Qianya was joking, Xia De still refuted it.

"It's getting late. The break is over. Next, let's proceed to the final step of tonight's lesson."

As Lei Lei Qianya spoke, the princess who looked very much like her and held a spindle walked toward Xia De:

"The best way for you to experience 【Slumber】 is to let you have a sleep. I remember you need to wake up before dawn tomorrow morning to use the next key? No problem, I can precisely control the sleep time."

"Oh, Lei Lei Qianya, isn't it too early now? It's only nine-thirty in the evening; I usually sleep at twelve."

"That's why your life is too irregular. Go and rest quickly; don't you have to get up early tomorrow morning? I'll go upstairs to chat with Luweiya for a while and then leave."

As she spoke, she actually took the spindle from the Sleeping Princess, while the princess wearing a fluffy long dress smiled at Xia De.

"This thing can actually be touched by others?"

Xia De was very surprised.

"The nature of this spindle is very similar to your Moonlight Greatsword. Similarly, the match girl's basket can also be touched... I can prick you myself in a while."

Luweiya chuckled and gestured:

"Do you want to give your cat a go too?"

"Meow~"

The cat, which was sometimes very smart but sometimes very silly, had already become interested in the golden spindle.

(Xiao Xiao Miya is sleeping zZ...)

If one digs carefully, the power of a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi actually has many inconspicuous auxiliary effects. For example, Xia De's terrifying curse 【Blood Brewing】 can be used to brew wine very well.

And Lei Lei Qianya's "Sleeping Princess" could actually let Xia De have a good night's sleep without dreams, and even after waking up, he felt refreshed and had a sense of pleasure he had never felt before.

"It's really not bad."

The time was before the first ray of sunlight rose on Sunday morning. Because it was not yet six-thirty, Xiao Miya felt Xia De get up and did not follow him out of bed.

The key to be used next was from the year 3024 of the Fifth Era. It had been 22 years since the divine descent event in the Thousand Tree Forest, and exactly ten years since the Divine Banquet in the Night Manor.

This key was provided by Madame Cassandra, and Xia De had already told Miss Miss Jia Lin Na about the key. The witch was looking forward to Xia De encountering Miss Miss Feilian again, but Xia De still pessimistically believed the probability was high.

This was the first time using this key, so Xia De didn't need to make any special preparations.

After getting up and washing up a little, he greeted Xiao Miya and inserted the key into the bedroom door:

"May the World Tree protect me in time."

White mist spilled out from the door crack, like silk floss.

【Outlander, you have stepped into the "Corridor of Time."】

【Message from the Old God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Winter, 3024, Fifth Era, Central Continent, Silent Valley.】

【Event: The destruction of the Gadis Library.】

【Duration: Thirty minutes (1/3).】

"Ha, after East, West, South, and North, it's finally the Central Continent. So, how many large landmasses are there in the material world of the Fifth Era?"

【You have obtained additional information.】

【The figure of the Father of the Infinite Tree continues to watch you.】
