Chapter 900: Chosen One Ritual - Sage's Glowstone

"Our goal?"

Xia De smiled:

"Lady, are you the Chosen One of Wisdom and Knowledge?"

Difa looked at Xia De with some surprise, and Miss Pawo was also slightly surprised, then shook her head slightly:

"What a strange question, but at present, we have not mastered the remaining fragments of the poem corresponding to the identity of the Chosen One. So, I might be, she might be, you might be, and even this dog might be."

"Woof!"

The "dog" called out again, looking at Miss Pawo aggressively. This little Mia, who looked like a dog at the moment but was actually a cat, dared to "roar" at any target because Xia De was by its side.

Xia De was just about to speak, but suddenly paused, his gaze looking at Schluch Lake, which had already been shrouded in white fog. Miss Pawo also turned to look at the center of the lake with a feeling in her heart. Although the light of the third month could not penetrate the strange fog on the lake, the three people on the shore clearly saw a small black dot appear in the center of the lake. Calling it a black dot was because the distance from the shore to the center of the lake was too far; in reality, it was a lake-center island that had appeared at some unknown time.

Silently, several figures entered the fog from the lake shore, either flying or stepping on the water surface, heading toward that lake-center island.

Xia De only took one look and then looked at Miss Pawo again. He was not in a hurry at all; as for what was on the island, he would just ask the witches directly later.

"The Sage-level Relic 【Island of Trials of the Lost Vinals】 has already appeared. Are you sure you want to stay here and find trouble for me?"

Miss Pawo asked Xia De:

"Why don't we land on the island together first? From the perspective of interests, only by knowing the trials on the island can both sides maximize their interests. We don't need to waste time here."

But Xia De shook his head:

"Lady, your analysis makes sense, but the problem is—"

He smiled:

"We are not here for the Chosen One."

The sorceress manipulating the large silver book revealed a confused expression for the first time tonight, but she quickly spoke again:

"Do you know?"

Miss Pawo said softly:

"The remaining fragments of the poem we hold show that the Chosen One ritual held by the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom requires an important ritual material - 【Sage's Glowstone】. This is a material that even if we searched through ancient books, we could not find the source."

"Sage's Glowstone?"

Xia De knew that the other party was stalling for time, waiting for companions to arrive, but very coincidentally, Xia De was also waiting for the other party's companions to appear.

Difa, holding little Mia, said softly:

"A stone related to that Ancient God?"

"Yes, later we obtained information from the Apuna Library. They shared the information about the material with us, and we showed them the remaining fragments of the poem."

Miss Pawo stated the source of the information without hesitation, but this did not exclude the possibility that this was to confuse the issue:

"Although the Ancient Gods have long since departed, the power of the Ancient Gods is still influencing the material world of the Sixth Era in all aspects. It is as if the sleeping giants still have threads on their fingertips pulling at fate."

This kind of statement was very interesting.

"【Sage's Glowstone】, an extremely rare alchemical material, its rarity is comparable to the calibration object of Sage-level Relics, the 【Philosopher's Stone】. There is only one method to obtain 【Sage's Glowstone】: those existences who have inherited the power of the Ancient God of Wisdom, the 【Keeper of Secrets】, can propose trials to mortals. If mortals accept the trials and complete them, and do not ask for other rewards, then they can obtain a 【Sage's Glowstone】. Those ancient existences are the Keepers of Secrets. With the awakening of the Chosen One, the Keeper of Secrets will frequently appear around him or her to conduct trials.

So, this scene tonight means that the Chosen One is at the Lakeside Manor, yes, right here."

She said with a smile, satisfied to see the two highly dangerous enemies in front of her listening intently to her words:

"【Sage's Glowstone】 itself, because it is produced from a Relic, is also a special Relic derivative, or can be regarded as a Relic itself. In the Apuna Library, there are very obscure containment reports from the Fifth Era. According to the reports, this Relic can permanently enhance the wearer's intelligence, permanently enhance comprehension, logical thinking, and all aspects of the brain's abilities. Yes, permanently. And the negative characteristics are nothing more than an enhancement of the desire for knowledge."

"The Chosen One ritual requires this material, but in the past eras, has this Relic not been passed down?"

Xia De asked in a deep voice, and Miss Pawo explained:

"【Sage's Glowstone】 is a symbol of the wise. It can only be gifted once by the person who accepted the trial, and it will disappear with the death of the wise person who accepted the trial. Therefore, 【Sage's Glowstone】 cannot be passed down for a long time."

"So that's how it is."

Xia De nodded slightly, then looked at the lake-center island:

"So, the island that appeared in the center of Schluch Lake tonight is..."

"Yes. The stone tablet newly discovered by the 【Blood Spirit School】 in the New Continent predicted that the Chosen One of Wisdom and Knowledge would appear at this banquet, so it attracted this island, the Sage-level Relic 【Island of Trials of the Lost Vinals】. The Lost Vinals was the country of the wise in the legends of the Third Era. There must be a Keeper of Secrets on this island. But unfortunately, we only know that the ritual requires 【Sage's Glowstone】, but we don't know the specific details of the ritual, and exactly how many Glowstones are needed."

Xia De actually knew the answer. The remaining fragments of the poem in the "Ageless Secret Arts" stated very clearly that the Keeper of Secrets would propose five trials. That is to say, this Chosen One ritual required five 【Sage's Glowstones】. As for the specific method of the ritual, this point could be known by letting Luweiya consume special coins for divination.

Combining all the information, assuming that the sorceress from the 【Truth Society】 in front of him was not lying, then this Chosen One ritual, compared to the Death Chosen One having to die once, was not difficult, but somewhat complicated.

At this time, looking at the lake-center island in the center of Schluch Lake where Whisper elements were permeating, no signs of fighting were seen under the moonlight. The area of that island was far less than the lake-center island of Lost Lake in 5177 of the Fifth Era, and slightly smaller than the lake-center island of Cherub Lake in the west of Huntington. Xia De was very curious, besides the two witches, how many people had boarded the island at this time.

"I have already finished saying what I know, so can I leave now?"

Miss Pawo said with a smile. Xia De looked at the large book floating in front of her and said deliberately and frivolously:

"If you are willing to share the information about your book and leave it behind, you can leave now."

"Oh, sir, you are not a gentleman at all. And, do you think everyone can hold this book?"

The lady under the moon appeared particularly intellectual:

"If we quantify the average intelligence of humans in this era, with an average value of 10 and a normal level maximum value of 20, then at least 18 points of intelligence are needed to hold this book."

"Do you think I don't have enough wisdom?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Pawo smiled without saying a word.

Xia De's eyes continued to look at the pages that were constantly turning. He could see the content on the pages from this position. Probably because he was not the owner of the book, those pages appeared completely blank to him.

"Your people are already landing on the island? I am curious, what are you doing here?"

Xia De asked again, Miss Pawo still smiled without saying a word, while Difa suddenly said:

"Judging from this lady's performance, she is very proficient in numbers and probability. I once heard of a special kind of number divination... If I am not mistaken, she is using this book to calculate who the Chosen One attending the banquet is."

The sorceress of the Truth Society narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Difa:

"Number divination is a mixed discipline combining mathematics, numerology divination, and ancient counting knowledge. In our era, not many people should have mastered it. Lady, may I ask who you heard about this discipline from?"

Xia De knew the answer to this question. Great Witch Miss Sylvia was an expert in number divination.
