Chapter 985

Although she almost fell into a coma the moment the god pushed the door and appeared, Miss Theresa still moved her lips to greet the god.

Xia De and Miss Violet certainly did not forget this point, and after paying their respects, Xia De took off the water bag he carried with him. Because of the particularity of the water of the Cherub Lake, this water could not be turned into a toy using 【Toy Making】. After Xia De dueled with the Wisdom Angel, he filled the water bag with water. To prevent the amount from being insufficient, he brought all the lake water this time:

"God, this is the sacrifice offered to you by the mortals Xia De Hamilton, Violet Marshall, and Schultz Theresa. May wisdom be like water, flowing endlessly."

Unplugging the water bag stopper, the spell "Manipulate Water Flow" guided the water to flow out from the water bag. Miss Violet and Miss Theresa, who were standing behind Xia De, immediately cast their eyes over. Although Xia De explained the source of this water when climbing the tower, it was still the first time they saw this sacrifice.

Clearly, when at the Cherub Lake, this lake water was exactly the same as normal water flow. But at this moment, guided by the spell to turn into a water snake and flow out, it shone brightly on the oppressive and gloomy lake island, and was gradually assimilated by the light on the god's body, revealing a holy luster.

Xia De only guided out the first stream of water, and then the water flow was no longer under his control. The god let all the water of the Cherub Lake flow out, flowing around Him like a holy ribbon.

After a while, the flowing water contracted inward, imprinting silver traces on the god's robe.

The robe was originally a blue that was close to white, and at this time, the silver imprint did not look abrupt at all:

"Very remarkable. I knew you would definitely be able to complete the second trial, but I didn't expect you to be even more excellent than I thought. The lake water there is not something that can be obtained casually."

The god said softly in front of the wooden house, and Xia De nodded slightly to express humility:

"This is nothing. God, there is a second sacrifice here."

The god took away all the lake water of the Cherub Lake. Although he had expected this point long ago, Xia De was still a bit heartbroken. Without the lake water of the Cherub Lake, he would have to get a special bow or crossbow himself to be qualified to shoot the 【Arrow of Knowledge of Akenola】 again. Although besides relics, powerful alchemical items also met the requirements, in this way, after one shot, the alchemical bow or crossbow would be immediately scrapped.

"No, I can't think about that arrow that wasn't shot again, otherwise I'll feel Little Mia crawling on me again."

【How many are there this time?】

"She" asked with a smile.

Next, Xia De offered the clear water soaked with the Water Cube that the witches had obtained, and the water flow still flowed out like a long snake. But this time the god did not imprint this water on His robe, but let the water flow turn into a round ball, eventually condensing into a pearl, decorating the hem of the robe:

"The spring water soaked by the Water Cube, although that relic appeared on the island, the fact that you were able to take water from it is enough to prove that you are qualified to pass my trial."

The god paused and looked at the mortals in front of Him:

"Since it is two sacrifices, then you are worthy of more grace. Last time I gave you a blessing, this time..."

He looked at Miss Theresa. The bespectacled witch was half-closing her eyes at this time, but she could still feel that the god's gaze was hotter than the sun at noon in summer. Her soul was trembling because of this brief gaze, but fortunately, the gaze moved away almost immediately.

At the same time, the 【Night Watcher】 flew out of the witch's hand and fell into the god's hand. Following the hand exuding a soft white light, gently stroking the sword suspended in the air, the sword body did not glow, only the rune 【My Heart is Clear, the Sword Slays Demons】 flickered with a calm light.

"I will bestow even greater power upon the weapon you possess."

Neither Xia De nor Miss Violet spoke. The blessing given by the god certainly would not give them any room for choice.

"This blessing is only effective for the three of you. Drop your blood onto the sword body and completely soak the sword body runes. This sword will specifically target you, adding the characteristic: 'Before fighting with the sword, if you drink clean water, your physical strength will be endless for a period of time'."

"Thank you for your generosity."

The three said together, and Miss Theresa was half a beat slower because her mental state was very bad.

That sword touched by the god flew from the god's side to the three, and then inserted itself into the soil in front of Xia De. Xia De did not have time to think about the coherence of time and space for the time being; his time was running out:

"God, the agreed three trials have reached the end. We crave your wisdom; please tell us the content of the final trial."

He bowed slightly again.

"What kind of trial do you crave?"

He did not give the content of the test directly, but instead asked with a smile, and the smile was very gentle.

Xia De pursed his lips:

"We come to seek wisdom; the test given by the wise should naturally end with wisdom."

He was trying his best to avoid a real fight, while the Witch Empress Miss Violet was looking at the back of the man who was negotiating with the god, and the thought of not wanting him to leave became more and more intense.

The god smiled and nodded. Behind the strangely shaped glasses, He completely understood what Xia De was thinking:

"Alright then, the final trial: answer a question that a mortal cannot answer."

Xia De seemed to have heard this kind of statement once:

"Please ask."

He took a step back and stood with the witches again. The three heard the god's voice; it was the Ancient One describing an even more ancient story:

"In the very beginning, when the world was created, there existed thirteen original gods, whom mortals call Old Gods. The ancient god in charge of wisdom and knowledge is the mentor of all wise living beings and the Secret Keeper in charge of those unspeakable secrets."

Xia De listened carefully, and Miss Violet lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Miss Theresa closed her eyes, her breath weak; her thinking was in the god's narration, coming into contact with the secrets of ancient myths. If it weren't for Miss Violet still protecting her, she might lose control at any time because of mental instability.

"Even a wise god needs powerful helpers. So the Old God plucked pure white clouds from the high heavens, gathered immortal roses from the abyss, obtained clean salt water from the seabed, and created His first angels."

The 【Indeterminate Wise One】 sighed softly, and then asked:

"The question is, how many Wisdom Angels did that ancient god create? Where are these angels now?"

Xia De was stunned, and then felt someone pull him from behind. He felt warm breath, and someone was speaking in his ear. This made Xia De a bit uneasy, because under normal circumstances, when someone was speaking in his ear, he could not feel the scent of perfume and the heat of the breath:

"Aren't there five Wisdom Angels? In rituals such as 'Wisdom of Twilight' and 'Fountain of Inspiration,' one needs to write the runes corresponding to the five Wisdom Angels into the ritual base array. But, would the answer to this question be so simple?"

Miss Violet's voice was very soft, and the airflow exhaled when speaking made Xia De's ears very itchy:

"And, where the Wisdom Angels are—can we really answer such a question?"

"Hmm..."

Xia De pursed his lips, ignoring Miss Violet's voice, because the image of Priest Augustus suddenly jumped out:

"The Old God 【Secret Keeper】, in the first era, created a total of nine Wisdom Angels."

"Hmm?"

The hand of the Witch Empress pulling Xia De's clothes tightened suddenly, almost tearing Xia De's clothes. But before Xia De's clothes were tragically destroyed, the weak Miss Theresa's hand rested on hers:

"Believe him."

The young witch whispered in a daze.

Xia De was still answering:

"As for where... when the 【Secret Keeper】 left, four Wisdom Angels also left with the Old God, and five angels stayed in the mortal world, thereby causing the mortal world to retain the bloodline power of the Wisdom Angels. I cannot say their more specific location, only knowing that the First Wisdom Angel, Cherub, is now in the middle of the Central Continent, near a human settlement with rumors of the 'Goddess of the Lake.' He is hidden in a special space, but many mortals have visited him."

The rumors of the "Goddess of the Lake" existed in the Fifth Era; Xia De knew this when he investigated. He immediately stated the requirements for meeting the "Goddess of the Lake," which were all summarized by Professor Drake.

The god nodded slightly:

"This is enough. It is very unexpected. I originally only needed you to say the number of angels who stayed and left; I didn't expect you to actually know the location of one of them. This is knowledge that no mortal can know, whether it is the number of nine or the whereabouts of the Wisdom Angels."

He did not ask about the source of Xia De's information, and Xia De would not say "No one understands angels better than Priest Augustus."

Seeing the god nod and acknowledge his answer, Xia De heaved a sigh of relief. This was the third time he had opened this key; if he had not been able to complete the trial and give the answer this time, he was afraid he would have to face the first failure of a time key.

"Thank you, Priest Augustus."

He said softly in his heart. Priest Augustus just mentioned it casually; he didn't expect it to play such a big role.

"Then, does this count as us completing your trial?"

He tried to ask.

"Yes, according to the initial discussion, you can make a wish and seek from me wisdom that does not belong to mortals."

The god smiled gently, and a smile also appeared on Xia De's face:

"That's right. Before we make a wish, may I ask if you know the reason why the five Wisdom Angels stayed in the mortal world?"

He had not forgotten the question of the final trial of the "Goddess of the Lake." Since the clues left by the "Trial of the Goddess of the Lake" allowed Xia De to know the answer to the "Trial of the God," perhaps the latter could also help the former in turn.

"I know, but I cannot tell you this answer."

The god wearing the robe was still gentle. Xia De pursed his lips, and although a bit disappointed, he could accept this result.

The god continued:

"However, I can tell you another answer. Your sealed power only needs to come into contact with a sufficiently high-level moon to lift the seal."

Xia De looked up at Him in surprise, but immediately lowered his head:

"I understand, thank you for your help."

Then he turned his head to look at Miss Violet who was pulling his clothes:

"Lady, it's your turn. The three trials are over; please make a wish."

The Witch Empress did not look very happy. Seeing Xia De turn his head, golden eyes met his. Xia De could clearly see the genuine loss in her eyes, which was a bit like the expression on Little Mia's face when she couldn't eat her midnight snack.
