Chapter 772: Sun and Moon
The size of the 【Nameless Sacrificial Book】 stone slab was about the same as the 【Ye Ge Scroll】 describing the mysteries of death and the 【Thread Text】 describing the history of the First Era. Both sides were massive sun pattern emblems. But unlike ordinary sun patterns, the sun pattern here had a smiling face in the center. This was not funny, but instead made the stone slab look more ancient and primitive.
One side had text. The text was directly below the sun pattern, as if it had been casually carved by someone with a sharp object. The meaning was roughly—
【May the sun never set.】
Because the 【Nameless Sacrificial Book】 was also an item from the First Era, it naturally triggered Xia De's sorcery 【Ancient Sound】. This time, the information was related to the sun:
【People in the First Era believed that the sun was one of the incarnations of the god 【Supreme Sun-Binder】. On the day of the year in summer with the longest daylight hours, performing prayer activities to sacrifice to the sun had a probability of directly obtaining the god's gaze. The ancient sun god and the sage of the silver moon were twin sisters, and both were enemies of the Twilight Creator. Those who believe in the sublime sun can also borrow the great power of the silver moon.】
"Hmm? The ancient god representing the sun is a female image? And is a twin god with the silver moon sage?"
The Outsider, who was familiar with many mythological systems, was first confused, and then felt that this was also very reasonable. It was just that there were also contradictions among the original thirteen ancient gods. This was the first time Xia De had heard of it.
And if, according to what is currently known, the power of all Zhengshen, Old Gods, and Evil Gods all came from the thirteen ancient gods who had already left, then that twin god...
"No!"
Xia De reacted quickly:
"The twin god who helped Grace and Helen is essentially a dual-in-one entity. This doesn't look like the sun and the moon, but rather similar to the statue of the ancient god of space 【Primordial Rift】. The power of the Old God 【Twin God】 actually comes from the ancient god of space, and Grace and Helen should actually have gone to find the Old God who inherited the dual-body power of the sun and the moon... Yes, they did find the right god, but that was not the best choice!"
But greater doubts arose because of this:
"The Zhengshen 【God of Sun and Earth】, the Lantern Old Man, inherited the power of the sun. Yin Luna has told me about the doctrine of the Sun Church, but there is no description of twins in it. Could it be that the ancient god's authority regarding twins was not inherited by any god... Speaking of which, whose inheritance is the power of the moon ancient god..."
Holding Mia, Xia De thought that although the information given by "Ancient Sound" was very short, it was more useful than the information given by the previous two books. If he wanted to completely solve the problems of Lei Qianya and Duo Luo Qian, it seemed he still had to go and find the Old God who inherited the sun and moon. Of course, now that he couldn't find them, he could rely on the power of the Red Butterfly first.
Although he thought about a lot of content, it was actually only a few seconds of daze.
Xia De handed the stone slab in his hand to Miss Samuel for inspection. The latter flipped through it and handed it back to Xia De. This book was not opened, and the stone slab itself had no great significance. True knowledge was not allowed to be acquired by them who were far from the time of the First Era.
"Now there is a very critical question."
Xia De sat by the bonfire and did not immediately open the door of the shrine. He looked at the dark night with red snow outside across the bonfire. This scene was more terrifying than any celestial phenomenon he had ever seen:
"Miss Samuel, after exchanging this stone slab for the third wish, you have to make a wish to the god to help you leave. But now Miss Olandonode and Miss Fiona Delage are both in a state of deep coma. Do you have a way to take them both out by yourself?"
"Are you saying that the god will not send us directly outside?"
Miss Samuel asked anxiously.
"Judging from the performance of the first two wishes, the god does not encourage us to make wishes that deviate from knowledge and the library. Perhaps he can send you directly outside the Dead Silent Valley, but perhaps it is only to open a temporarily safe road."
Xia De said, and the witch shook her head slightly:
"I am not fully recovered yet. Without the 【Silent Moonlight】 you exchanged for Blainie, my state will get worse and worse. However, if I am allowed to rest for a period of time and my physical strength recovers, perhaps there is a way to take them through the road opened by the god to leave. Someone is meeting us outside; I only need to walk a very short distance."
"No time to rest. My task is to witness the destruction of the Gadis Library. I think once we hand over the third book to the great one, this library will collapse immediately. You probably need to leave immediately."
Miss Samuel thought for a while and gave a disappointing answer:
"In the red snow weather outside, even without carrying the two of them, I can't walk out myself."
The situation was a bit bad. Xia De gave up seeking the mysteries of time from the god, but the witches were still trapped in a predicament. But now, he could only temporarily meet the god. Perhaps their worries were unnecessary, and the old man holding the staff was willing to send the witch and her party directly out of the Dead Silent Valley.
"Of course this won't work. This is just an incarnation left in the shrine. I can fulfill most wishes related to books, but other things cannot be done."
The gray-robed sage sat on the pile of old books, holding a staff in his left hand and a pipe in his right:
"And you are right. Once you hand over the 【Nameless Sacrificial Book】 to me, this library will have no need to exist. It should have been destroyed here, but it was only able to remain because it sealed the knowledge of the First Era. Now that the mission is over, there is naturally no need for it to exist."
"Then, can your wisdom guide them to leave here?"
Xia De asked again, and the gray-robed sage nodded:
"One wish can only heal one person. I suggest healing the descendant of the long-leaf elf and letting her return to her best state. After your story ends, bestow the staff in my hand upon her to partially fulfill her second wish. With this staff, even if they don't make a wish to open the road to leave, they will still likely be able to leave alive."
This sounded like a good idea indeed, and the Old Sage's scepter coming into the hands of Miss Olandernode also aligned with the knowledge Xia De had learned in the Sixth Era:
"Two people leaving? What about Miss Fiona Delage?"
Xia De pointed to the ice coffin by the wall. The girl with red hair was still sleeping there with her big tail wrapped around her waist:
"We cannot leave her alone here."
The god took a puff of his pipe and suggested:
"They can try to take her with them, but this will reduce the survival probability of all three."
"Wait a minute, you must know what will happen. This kind of thing does not exist as a probability for you, only as a certainty."
The old sage smiled and shook his head:
"You can use the last wish to ask about the probability of the three surviving. But if you ask this question, there will be no extra wish to restore the health of the witch with long-leaf elf blood."
Standing from the perspective of the Sixth Era, before St. Byrons was established, Miss Olandonode and Miss Fiona Delage would certainly not die easily. But Xia De could only see the results of history; he couldn't see the process, so he absolutely didn't dare to let the witches take risks just because he knew they wouldn't die here.
Without considering the results of the future, just from the current status quo, the best thing to do at this time was to use the last wish to wake up Miss Olandonode and let the Thirteenth-Tier witch hold the artifact and take Miss Samuel away. Although this sacrificed the red dragon witch, it at least guaranteed the safety of the other two.
Xia De didn't know what Miss Samuel was thinking, but he certainly couldn't give up anyone here.
"Must find a way to wake up the red dragon bloodline witch outside of the wish. Only after she wakes up and follows Miss Olandonode, who holds the artifact, can there be a possibility of survival."
Thinking in his heart, Xia De looked at Miss Samuel again:
"What do you think?"
"As long as it is not the three of us leaving together, as the only conscious person now, I will definitely be blamed by Miss Feilian and the society. So in order not to take responsibility, I will not express any opinion now, and you choose."
Miss Samuel said very rationally.
Xia De nodded while holding the cat, feeling Little Mia wriggling on his chest.
With his current power and Miss Samuel's power, they certainly couldn't wake up the witch with red dragon blood. But the power that had not yet been obtained, the power from the fairy tale of his hometown, had this possibility.
【The Little Match Girl】, let Xia De truly possess a labyrinth that could fulfill four wishes. If 【Sleeping Beauty】 could let Xia De use a kiss to wake up the sleeping girl, then the current problem would be solved.
But the problem was that Xia De was not sure that he could obtain the labyrinth after finishing the story.
"【The Little Match Girl】 and 【Tree's Kiss】 only appeared under my strong emotions... The former was because of pity for the girl, and the latter was the courage to light up the light under the surrounding darkness..."
Xia De was not a person who was not good at summarizing experience, but the labyrinth high-level sorcery was not something he, a low-level Shushi, should be involved in.
"Probably understand, still have to try. However, I remember Miss Dannister mentioned that the school's second principal, Miss Delage, also had the 【Sleeping Princess】 spiritual rune. Since this is the case..."
Having thought of a countermeasure in his heart, Xia De said to the gray-robed old sage:
"Please restore Miss Blainie Olandonode to health. This is our third wish."
"No problem, this is very simple."
The gray-robed god laughed, reached into the air beside him, and took out a book with a green cover. Holding the book and waving it gently, he looked at Miss Olandonode again. Her eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her eyes.
Xia De and Miss Samuel breathed a sigh of relief. *** **CHAPTER 773: Enlightenment - Sleeping Princess**
