Chapter 904: Vinals' Trial

~14 min read 2,771 words

Boom!

The deafening thunder echoed continuously in the air. Dr. Schneider, who was chatting in the banquet hall on the first floor of the manor with Mr. Alan Madison and "Guide Moon" Mr. Pulia while holding a wine glass, looked at the window suspiciously:

"Is it going to rain? Why did it thunder twice in a row?"

The correspondence ring-sorcerers of Sexes also looked at the window suspiciously:

"Is there a high-ring sorcerer fighting nearby? I was really scared just now."

The light of the thunder did not spread to the garden, and the garden of the Lakeside Manor under the moonlight was still so quiet and beautiful. Princesses Princess Lei Qianya, Duo Luoqian, and Margaret, who were standing together, also turned to look at the direction of Schluch Lake after hearing the thunder:

"When I was a child, I was actually afraid of thunder."

Princess Lei Qianya said softly to Princess Margaret. The princess naturally perceived the wrongness of the two thunderclaps before and after, but she could not show it in front of ordinary people, so she pretended not to care:

"Miss Lu Yisha, do you know Mr. Hamilton very well? Can you continue to tell me about him?"

The blonde writer lady nodded, and the red-haired princess revealed a strange smile.

"What is that?"

On the lake-center island of Schluch Lake, Miss Galina asked Miss Sylvia in the fog. The two were together on the edge of the lake-center island, like everyone here, looking at the silver-white giant spear like a pillar of heaven, appearing in the thick fog. The crackling thunder light made the two witches feel fear.

In the fearful eyes of the two, and in the terrifying thunder sound, the silver spear was thrown out, but fortunately, the target was not them. The explosion ended, and the Duchess then whispered in the ear ringing:

"Sunlight Spear?! Isn't Iluna containing... in the city tonight?"

She immediately shook her head:

"No, it's not sunlight, it's thunder. That's not a Sunlight Spear, it's a Lei Sheng Spear. Strange Art - Lei Sheng Spear."

Thinking through this point, Miss Galina's expression gradually returned to normal:

"Witch above, which unlucky ghost is facing this strike? And the first thunder, Sylvia, is that the one you once mentioned."

"I don't know either..."

Miss Sylvia gasped heavily. She also watched with her own eyes as that surprisingly large thunder spear was thrown into the lake. The thunder sound of the explosion was almost comparable to the thunder that had just sounded from the clouds.

The perception of the two high-ring witches was so sharp that they could naturally realize the amazing power contained in that thunder spear under the night sky:

"This power is... is there a third thirteen-ring sorcerer in Tobesk?"

The thirteen-ring sorcerers of the Orthodox Church in this diocese were only the "Iron Right Hand" of the Creation Church and the "Sunlight Greatsword" of the Sun Church. The former specialized in machinery, and the latter was a master of close combat. Although the Sun Church had quite a few ring-sorcerers who were good at thunder strange arts, the "Sunlight Greatsword" was not good at it.

"No, it seems to be more than thirteen-ring. This power, is this beyond thirteen-ring? Demigod?"

The black-haired witch's breathing was a bit rapid, narrowing her eyes and looking at the shore opposite the lake:

"But how could this be, what happened by the lake?"

The thunder spear thrown with full force even evaporated the corpse itself. The jumping silver-white electric light lingered on the water surface for a long time. Xia De, who fell from the air, closed his eyes and sensed it, then took a step out and appeared beside Difa in the fog not far away.

Clearly, the position where Xia De and the cultist fought just now was not far from the position where the two ladies fought, but before this, the two sides could not perceive each other at all.

"It's me."

Xia De, who suddenly appeared carrying a cat, scared Difa, but she felt relieved after seeing little Mia.

The attack that was almost close at hand just now also scared Difa and Miss Pawo. But Miss Pawo recovered faster than Difa. She first noticed Xia De's appearance. At the moment the first thunderbolt condensed in Xia De's hand, almost without any hesitation, the six-ring sorceress of the Truth Society disappeared directly into the fog on the lake, leaving only a broken straw man falling toward the lake surface, and then sank to the bottom of the lake.

Difa reached out and waved, and the straw man in the water flew into her hand:

"Keeper of Secrets-level Relic 【Pavlov's Substitute Straw Man】."

The maid chief said softly, and Xia De, holding the thunder spear, nodded. The effect of this Relic was not even space movement, but an effect similar to "exchange." But he knew that the two sides would meet again sooner or later. He was quite curious about this lady. The other party's personality and methods of doing things appeared so normal in the Truth Society, and the other party's escape speed was really surprising. Xia De almost saw her, and she disappeared immediately.

The thunder spear in his hand did not dissipate. Relying on the state of divine overflow to sense the Sage-level Relic 【Island of Trials of the Lost Vinals】 that had descended here. The perception enhanced by divinity allowed "She" to obtain the information of the Relic immediately and pass this information to Xia De:

【After landing on the island, you need to find the stone tablet in the center of the island in the fog. Only after a powerful attack on the stone tablet will the content of the trial appear.】

This was imitating the process of ancient heroes passing trials, but at present, it seemed that the ring-sorcerers who had already landed on the island had clearly not been able to find the stone tablet in the center of the island:

"I'll help them!"

His eyes looked at the center of Schluch Lake filled with white fog. The silver-white thunder spear jumping with electric arcs left a bright light trace in the air in Difa's eyes.

The crackling electric light drilled into the white fog. While Difa was confused about what Xia De was doing, a muffled sound came from the depths of the fog, and it seemed that something heavy had fallen.

The next second, whether it was the ring-sorcerers on the island at this moment, or the ring-sorcerers in the lake, or the ring-sorcerers in the Lakeside Manor. With Schluch Lake as the center, all ring-sorcerers within a radius of 3 miles had their "other self" transmit the same information:

【Vinals' Trial: Find the "person" who cannot be seen in the Tobesk area.】

The fog gradually dissipated, and the lake-center island was slowly disappearing. Miss Galina in the fog looked at Miss Sylvia:

"You got the information too, right?"

"Yes, it seems that the thirteen-ring sorcerer opened the trial."

"Thirteen-ring... leave here first."

The Duchess held Miss Sylvia's hand.

"Where to?"

"Find Xia De, I roughly know what happened."

Miss Sylvia calmed her mood:

"Okay."

She also held Miss Galina's right hand tightly, and then took a step forward. The surrounding scenery became blurred, and then became clear again. The two witches took a deep breath. Miss Galina stood on the shore, looked back at the lake-center island that was gradually disappearing, and then entered the woods with Miss Sylvia.

The thunder left traces by the lake, but those traces were disappearing rapidly, and the Church's high-ring sorcerers were approaching, so they did not stay on the shore for too long.

Relying on the sensing of her apprentice, the Great Witches moved forward in the dim garden, and soon found Xia De and Difa sitting on a bench under the moonlight, laughing and talking, in the depths of the hedge maze.

Two pairs of high heels stepped on the gravel path, bypassing the tall hedges. The sound of walking quickly did not know how many young people who were whispering in the shadows were disturbed.

Finally, they found Xia De and Difa sitting on the carved stone bench under the moonlight in the depths of the hedge maze, laughing and talking.

Schluch Lake, a few hundred meters away, had happened many things in just ten minutes, but the hedge maze was exceptionally quiet, making people want to sit down and whisper something while holding hands with their beloved girl.

Xia De was holding the cat, and his smile was full. Difa was sitting with her hands folded together, placed on her maid dress, her face slightly red, and there was a hint of shyness in her brown eyes.

The gas lamp here was on the other side, so only the moonlight illuminated them on the carved stone bench. Even knowing that other things were more important, the two witches had to admit that this scene was indeed worth appreciating.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to perform in front of me."

Miss Galina walked over with big strides, not understanding the atmosphere, and opened her mouth to break the ambiguous atmosphere in the quiet long night. She teased somewhat sullenly:

"Xia De, don't tell me that while Sylvia and I went to Schluch Lake, you two have been flirting here."

She did not give Xia De a chance to speak:

"If you two really stayed here for half an hour, Knight, I don't believe you would be so gentlemanly as to do nothing... Well, I believe it, but I don't believe Difa would do nothing. My personal maid is wearing lipstick, but there are no traces on your face and mouth. What are you performing in front of me?"

She sneered, reached out and pulled Xia De up:

"The 【Lei Sheng Spear】 just now, you threw it, right?"

The dark golden eyes close at hand stared at Xia De. Xia De blinked. He also just brought Difa here, not expecting the two witches to catch up so quickly. Because he had long expected that Miss Galina would guess it, he was not panicked at this moment:

"Yes."

Miss Galina revealed an expression of "as expected":

"Just like last time?"

This referred to the Lakeside Manor at the end of summer. This was the reason why she guessed that the strike just now was thrown by Xia De.

"Yes, I can sometimes use this power."

The witch snorted, naturally knowing that Xia De was lying. But she had promised not to pursue this matter, so she did not pursue it further. She rushed over in a hurry just now to confirm that there was no new thirteen-ring sorcerer in Tobesk. If a thirteen-ring sorcerer of unknown identity really existed, that would be the thing that needed a headache:

"Is your use of power limited to the Lakeside Manor? At that time in the dark domain, it was so critical, you didn't show this power, how could you use it as soon as you arrived here?"

Miss Sylvia, who was standing on the side, did not know what had happened to Xia De. She looked suspiciously at Xia De with a cat standing on his shoulder, and then widened her eyes suddenly:

"Lakeside Manor at the end of summer... Xia De is a God-Caller?"

"Of course not."

The red-haired Duchess and Xia De denied at the same time. The former gave a warning look to the man in front of her, telling him not to speak:

"He has his own special power, but he cannot use it at will. If he were a thirteen-ring sorcerer God-Caller, how could he be discovered by you in Huntington?"

Miss Sylvia thought about it and felt that Miss Galina's words made a lot of sense. She naturally still had questions, but now was not the time for questions. Moreover, she would stay in Tobesk for several weeks, and there was plenty of time to know about Xia De.

Difa also stood up at this time, greeted Miss Galina softly, and then consciously stood behind her.

The witch, who was slightly relieved, finally had the mood to tease her maid:

"Difa, I let you accompany Xia De to play cards, it seems you are not satisfied with just playing cards."

"Mr. Hamilton's card game is really very spectacular."

Difa said softly, and the four turned around to prepare to return to the Lakeside Manor manor. The Church's people would come over soon.

The maid chief described what happened just now to the two Great Witches softly. She also did not see the process of Xia De taking "Fury's Divine Punishment," so she only described in detail the "Sage's Glowstone" and "Keeper of Secrets" mentioned by "Miss Pawo," and then jumped directly to Xia De throwing the thunder spear and opening the trial of the Sage-level Relic 【Island of Trials of the Lost Vinals】.

"First trial, find the person who cannot be seen."

Miss Galina nodded, the four walked out of the hedge maze, Miss Sylvia shook her right hand gently, and no one could see their figures and hear their voices:

"It was not just one ring-sorcerer who heard the sound. I suspect that all ring-sorcerers in this area can hear it. This matter, the Apuna Library and the Truth Society, cannot hide it from anyone. Of course, the two thunders just now are actually more surprising than what happened afterward."

Since she mentioned this matter, Xia De asked softly:

"Hmm... was the commotion I made just now very big?"

"Of course."

The Duchess seemed to be laughed at by anger, slowed down and turned to look at Xia De:

"Strange Art 【Lei Sheng Spear】, right? I have never seen such an exaggerated thunder spear. How much hatred does that cultist have with you for you to use this power to deal with them?"

"They wanted to move against my cat."

Xia De stroked the cat he was holding, looking like it was a matter of course. Miss Galina's mouth twitched, looking at the handsome face of the young knight illuminated by the gas lamp on the path:

"Sometimes I am really curious, if you were allowed to choose between sleeping with your cat and sleeping with a girl with a great figure, which one would you choose?"

"Actually... Princess Lei Qianya actually let me choose."

Xia De said immediately, wanting to avoid further slander.

"You chose the cat?"

"How is that possible?"

Seeing that Miss Galina still wanted to speak, Xia De took the lead to change the subject:

"Are there many ring-sorcerers who saw the two 【Lei Sheng Spears】 just now?"

"Of course, I think even a blind ring-sorcerer can 'see'."

Miss Sylvia on the side also nodded:

"Yes, that was really too exaggerated."

"Hmm..."

The group of four approached the manor, and the light suddenly became bright. At this moment, returning to the bright place, Schluch Lake became very far away, and there was a feeling of returning to the civilized world from the jungle.

They walked back to the Lakeside Manor manor along the garden path:

"Then am I... very strong?"

Xia De hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, while "She" in his heart let out a laugh.

Miss Galina turned to look at him. Under the light of the gas lamp, the witch close at hand was so beautiful, and even the reproachful look was so charming:

"Of course very strong, that is power almost beyond thirteen-ring, what kind of strange question is this?"

She casually pulled out the pink gauze scarf from Xia De's jacket pocket and threw it to him:

"If you want me to admit that you are very powerful, Knight, according to etiquette, I will give the gauze scarf to you."

She said with a smile, stuffing the gauze scarf that Xia De had obtained from the "Lucky Red Box" at the opening of the banquet into his hand. And as Miss Galina's voice fell, the long-awaited reply finally appeared in Xia De's ears:

【Outsider, at the banquet, you successfully proved your power.】

"Absorbing divinity to prove power, this is too difficult."

Xia De let out a long breath, and then noticed Miss Sylvia on the side looking at him secretly.

Xia De looked at her curiously, thinking that this witch had something to do, but did not expect the other party to look away again, which made Xia De feel somewhat inexplicable.

But no matter what, divinity was shining in Xia De's soul again. Everything tonight was worth it.
