After Luvia went to the Prophet's Association for confirmation, it was finally confirmed that Shade's guess was indeed correct. However, the "Book of Ascension" is the most secret knowledge of the Ring Warlock Organization, and the Prophet's Association has not yet cooperated with the Forgotten Cult.
The group] negotiated good terms, and they often forgot about it.
But with Shade's channel, Luvia did not need to wait for the Prophet Association's negotiations. In order to stay in Randall Valley City for a longer period of time, she did not inform the association that she had established a relationship with the cult.
But that morning, I went to the Wilde Opera House with Shade and met Miss Bernice and Miss Lassers.
Compared to last night, when she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, Miss Lassus was obviously normal this morning. She even apologized and thanked Shade rather embarrassedly. Of course Shade knew what she was thanking for, but the apology was
She didn't say the reason, but Shade thought that she was the one who should apologize.
The four of them sat down in the renovated office on the top floor of the Opera House. Because the Opera House requires strict sound insulation, the sound insulation effect of Miss Bernanise's exclusive "Golden Dawn Head Office" is quite good.
The maids brought black tea, fruits and snacks and left temporarily, leaving only the four of them talking.
"Yes, it is indeed us who are contacting the Prophet Association. Oh, it turns out it is for Miss Anat's words of sublimation."
Shade just mentioned this matter, and Miss Lassus understood:
"No problem, just read "The Book of Ascension" casually. Do you want to read it directly, or go through the channels of the Prophet Association?"
"Looking directly, negotiations with the association continue, and Luvia needs a reason to stay locally for a while."
Shade said, but "The Book of Ascension" is not currently in the opera house. This kind of information needs to be stored in a safer place, so Miss Lassers asked people to get it, and they can see it at noon. Shade said about gold
Li Ming's "Book of Sublimation" is also very interesting, after all, his words of sublimation in Central have not been found yet.
"How was it last night?"
"What else can we do? The erosion of the Crazy Earth was solved by you and Siris' father together. Although the guests at the banquet were frightened, fortunately the problem was dealt with in time, so no one was injured. It was just the result of the subsequent mental stability assessment.
, I’m afraid the church will have a headache for a while.”
The witch said lazily and nodded to Shade:
"I know what you want to ask. It has been confirmed that last night was indeed a cultist of the [Blood Spirit School] and the evil god [Stone Heart Demon]. In fact, the latter has been active locally for nearly a year."
"The association has similar reports."
Luvia added.
"So that gray stone man last night."
"There is news from the church. The thaumaturgy [Power of the Earth·Stone Incarnation], similar to the thaumaturgy you introduced to transform yourself into a group of butterflies, causes an essential change in your body, but does not affect your soul.
The black mud flowing out of the Crazy Earth Source itself has the least impact on the stone, so this thaumaturgy can indeed allow the user to resist the black mud, but the soul will still be affected in the end."
Miss Benenice looked at Shade:
"You said that the chosen one from the earth must have the [power of the earth]?"
"Yes, there are currently five targets: me, Luvia, Mr. Thomas Granger, Mr. Lassers, and the cultist. Luvia and I are not, there are two souls that still need to be found, so
The cultist must be investigated clearly. If possible, capture him and let me talk to him. I can identify the chosen one to a certain extent."
This is actually Luvia's ability, but Shade doesn't want to expose Luvia's specialness.
"Do you have a little too many special abilities?"
The blonde witch smiled, but she agreed with Shade's plan:
"Leave it to me. As the local great witch, I should let you see my influence in the local area."
Shade had no objection to this, but he did not think that the cultist was the chosen one this time. There was no evidence for this, it was just his intuition.
"So, Miss Lassers' father"
Finally talking about this topic, the witch looked at her best friend worriedly, and Miss Lassus said softly:
"Don't worry. In fact, a few years ago, I have wondered whether my father is dead. But it is still a bit unbearable to confirm this. I have accepted the reality and learned that he is still active in the material world after leaving.
, I really want to talk to him."
She let out a long sigh:
"About that church, Shade, although it is inappropriate to say this at this time, I would like to take it back."
After all, it was the church to which the religious order belonged, and Shade was prepared for this:
"I need to have access and passage rights there at all times."
"no problem."
Miss Lassers nodded:
"Now, there are only six ring magicians left in the Order who believe in our Lord [The Forgotten Old Man], including me. We are just cleaning the building and re-hanging the Holy Emblem, and will not disturb your use."
The declining religious order did not even have enough manpower to be permanently stationed in the church.
"As for my father, I plan to sort out his belongings."
She said this word with difficulty, and the "relics" here refer to the relics of real people after their death:
"I didn't believe he left like this before, so I still kept all my father's things and didn't sort them out carefully. To find the whereabouts of my father's soul, we need those documents and clues. Maybe there will be clues in diaries or letters. Or even
Even for divination, I still need my father’s personal belongings.”
Although she claimed to have "accepted this fact," the expression on her face was still so sad.
Both Shade and Luvia understood this feeling quite well. Unexpectedly, the young girl asked again:
"So Shade, how should I thank you? You brought news about my father, told me the location of the church, and last night because I wasted a clay chalice, I can't regard these as what you should do."
"Don't say thank you. Just let Luvia and I read the Book of Ascension. That's enough."
The strong young girl shook her head:
"Even if the sect declines, as the high priest of this generation of the sect, I cannot accept the kindness of others casually on behalf of the sect. We also treasure some 'good things' left over from ancient times. When I checked the Book of Ascension at noon
, please choose one at will.”
"Shad, don't refuse, Sirius has always been like this."
The witch interjected, but Shade still shook his head:
"Just like Bernice, you owe me a favor, and I will ask for it later. But, is there a time key among the good things you treasure?"
Luvia herself was by his side, and Shade didn't say that it was Deadwood's black time key.
"No, there is no holder of the [Time] spirit rune in the cult. All the time keys obtained before have been traded away."
It seems that Shade still needs to find it.
Shade and Luvia had been at the Wilde Opera House all morning. At noon, the Witch and Miss Lassers had lunch with them. After lunch, everyone went to the Church of the Forgotten.
There are also followers of the [Forgotten Old Man] in the Golden Dawn.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, but the floor of the church nave with a hole in the roof is still mostly covered with white snow. The skylight stops on the edge of the snow, and the statues in the front row are facing away from the sun, in the shadows
Still looking at the wall where the Holy Emblem should have been hung.
[The Order of the Forgotten]'s "Tome of Ascension" is not a fancy alchemical item, but a simple book. But compared to the one in St. Byrons, this "Tome of Ascension" is much thinner.
Already.
There was a very faint element of miracle attached to that book. Before handing it to Shade and Luvia, Miss Lassers added:
"The ring magicians of the Order are good at manipulating memories, not only people's memories, but also the memories of the earth and all things. Some of the words of sublimation in the "Book of Ascension" were obtained by extracting the memories of the earth, so we cannot be sure.
Effect."
"It doesn't matter. The word of sublimation I want is not that special type. The association said that someone in your sect has it."
Luvia opened the book and read it with great interest, while Miss Lassus and Miss Benanis took people to the collapse area behind the church to check the situation.
The purple-eyed girl's core spiritual runes are four, namely [Nobility], [Destiny], [Destroyer] and [Doom].
Among them, her words of sublimation when she was in the low ring were "May the stars bless you, the future noble king", which consisted of enlightenment "stars", miracles "blessing", whispers "future", blasphemy "king" and her own core
The spirit rune enlightens [noble] composition. Shade has never seen Luvia use the word of sublimation, and the function of this word of sublimation is to transform into a "noble king" under the starry sky. The specific effect is actually that Luvia
The explanation is unclear. In short, even the Prophets Association thinks this sublimation word is quite remarkable.
The Tome of Ascension of the Prophet's Association is a special relic. The word of sublimation is chosen by the Ring Warlock instead of the Ring Warlock who chooses the Word of Sublimation.
The Prophet Association believes that Luvia's words of sublimation in the middle ring, which take over the low ring and pave the way for the high ring, should be centered on [destiny] and should be close to the application aspect of "fate manipulation". The association itself has not found a suitable word for sublimation.
Therefore, the great diviners of Gaohuan made an exception and held a large-scale ceremony for the members of the association to peek into their destiny. In the end, the fortune-telling guided Luvia to the local area. According to the effects described by the association, Luvia quickly found the target and was excited.
pointed out to Shade:
"Look, it's this - [Writing in murmur, writing the poem of destiny]. [Murtering], [Pen], [Writing], [Destiny], [Poetry]. Oh, it looks like I'm going to ask Dorothy
She asked for help, she even had the [Writing] and [Poetry] spirit runes when she was at a low level!"
PS: Luvia’s low-level sublimation words are given here for the first time. In fact, what I originally wanted to say was [May the world/all things bless you, the future noble king], but the "world" or "all things" talisman
The text was a bit too exaggerated, so I changed it to "Starlight".
