Asked questions related to his own origin, Shade thought that the possible situation was "exploding the crystal ball and getting double coins" or "the divination yielded results, and he knew that the Karas Mountains collapsed in the spring of 1853."
Partial condition of the ancient Moon Tower".
But this time, Shade was completely wrong. After waiting for less than a second, an indistinguishable male-female voice that hissed like a snake whispered in his ear:
"The fog is lifted, and the past appears: you appear because of an absolutely impossible accident, you appear because of the chaos of the collapse of time and space, you appear because of someone's desperate prayer, you appear because of a series of mistakes. Stage
The audience below welcomes you."
Momentary surprise:
"What?"
Shade was completely unprepared to actually hear the content. The first second the voice fell, he couldn't believe what he heard. Then as his thoughts turned rapidly, he didn't even think about what he heard, and immediately
To place the last two coins in your hand on the scale again:
"I want to continue occupying"
But this time, the black figure sitting behind the table was faster. It raised its hand and picked up the crystal ball and the base, then stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
Shade held the coin and watched this scene in shock. Miss Higgins behind him did not dare to ask more questions, for fear of hearing something she shouldn't hear:
"Looks like the divination is over, let's go."
She reminded her carefully, and Xia De didn't even realize that he nodded subconsciously, with those words still echoing in his heart:
"What is an impossible accident? The chaos of the collapse of time and space? Someone's desperate prayer? A series of mistakes? I came to this world as a foreigner for a reason!"
In fact, I originally knew that the "time travel" was most likely an accident that was absolutely impossible, but after listening to the divination, I realized that besides accidents, there should be some reason for this accident.
But the good news is that if this divination is correct, his arrival is definitely not a plan by an existence like the "Ancient God", nor is it intended to be used as a pawn in the chaotic Sixth Age, nor is this still his hometown of Earth.
, only tens of millions of years have passed.
But Shade was quite puzzled. The four sentences of the divination results seemed to have nothing to do with the tower last spring.
But no matter what, this is also the first time so far that he knows so much about the reason why he came here. With these four sentences alone, this adventure in "Black Mist Camp" is better than most of the times he has gone on.
Key adventures have value.
What the devil's face said was indeed true. He could indeed get a lot of news in this camp that he would never hear elsewhere.
"Wait a minute, isn't this a trap deliberately arranged by the devil to induce me to consume? No, even the devil cannot arrange an unknowable relic arbitrarily."
While thinking, he and Granny Miles, who had taken off her earplugs, followed Miss Higgins out of the tent.
The witch did not disturb his contemplation, but "she" in his ear suddenly said:
[Outlander, why "I" was born, why "I" is "I", is the ultimate answer that all life is seeking. 】
"I know, so."
[You are exploring your own starting point, and you are embarking on your own path to being a demigod.]
Shade paused for a moment. Although it was an accident again, the information this time was not as surprising as what he heard just now:
"Wait a minute, what does this have to do with demigods? Besides, I'm only at the sixth ring, and I'm still more than half away from the thirteenth ring."
What's more, Shade doesn't care much about demigods. What he wants is to become a god.
The experience of Silver Snow Mountain and Chloe's path to demigods made Shade vaguely understand that all witches' paths to demigods are different. Although demigods are still mortals, the meaning they represent is definitely not comparable to that of mortals.
of.
He wasn't sure whether he wanted to become a demigod after the thirteenth ring. After all, in the "Twelve Paths to Divine Ascension", one could become a god directly after reaching the thirteenth ring. But since there was an additional possibility, he was still very happy.
of.
"Her" hint only ends here, and does not explain the so-called "path to demigods" in detail. It is as if Shade can become a demigod as long as he understands his origin. But regardless of whether he wants to achieve it or not
Demigods and Shade will definitely continue to explore the question of why they are here.
He originally thought that if he didn't become a god, he wouldn't want to know the answer to the question, but he didn't expect that the Black Mist Camp would have such a surprise. This also meant that even if he didn't become a god, there would be more opportunities to answer his questions. And said
Perhaps, there are other similar opportunities in the Black Mist Camp.
After experiencing the accident in the fortune-telling house, the next journey was particularly easy. The absent-minded Shade even felt that it was just a few steps, and Miss Higgins led the three of them to the final destination.
This is the location of the merchant who was guided by the devil to Granny Miles.
Although Shade was still wondering whether what just happened was a "consumption trap" set by the devil for him, he still looked at the products in front of the merchant this time.
There are a total of five products on the stall, two of which are exposed, namely a fist-sized heart soaked in liquid and a constantly rotating golden magic eye.
The other three items were covered by black mist, and they were revealed after Granny Miles proposed to trade them. This time, there was no need to choose one from three or one from two, because among the three items,
, Shade and Miss Higgins each know one thing:
"Demon hunting seal?"
Sure enough, in places related to demons, there is a high probability of encountering such relics.
"Oh! Baby fruit!"
The thing that Miss Higgins recognized was a pink fruit placed on the tray. The thing looked like a curled-up child, except that there was a green fruit base on the top of its bare head.
Shade had never heard of this thing. Miss Higgins explained excitedly:
"Although it is a relic derivative, it is a good thing. The baby fruit is named because of its appearance. Only the relic tree species named 'Eternal Life Tree' can be produced in small quantities after successfully crossing the epoch.
After eating it completely, there is a 2% chance of pregnancy, regardless of male or female, and it is not effective against witches;
12% chance that the body and soul will return to 18 years old, and the soul memory and muscle memory will not be erased, and the state will remain 18 years old forever before death. If you are under 18 years old when you eat it, you will grow to 18 years old.
takes effect later;
There is a 19% chance of gaining the ability to control plants, and the ability to convert sunlight into spirit, similar to the witch's secret technique [Photosynthesis] and the ancient druid's secret technique. There is nothing to explain;
There is a 33% probability of extending the life span by 300 years, and the spiritual recovery speed is increased to an almost infinite level, which is a temptation for everyone;
There is a 33% probability that one's body will have the following characteristics: After intercourse with the opposite sex, the strength of both parties will be slightly increased, but this improvement has an upper limit and cannot exceed race restrictions. And if the offspring is female, they will definitely be able to awaken as witches, and
Must be amazingly talented;
The last 1% possibility is death immediately. Regardless of the characteristics of the baby fruit, after the eater dies, the body will turn into a sapling of the 'Immortal Tree'. This is probably the reproduction method of this relic tree species."
She explained in one breath and looked at the fruit in confusion. Even though she knew she shouldn't consume it anymore, she still couldn't help but think about whether she should buy the fruit.
Although Shade brought news and dangers about coins to his companions, there are many ways in this camp to make these visiting guests voluntarily hand over all their "existence". This kind of "consumption trap", Shade just said
Also encountered.
Miss Higgins' initial coins totaled 23. After spending 17 coins last time and 2 coins this time, there were only the last 4 coins left. It was really uncertain whether she could buy the fruit in front of her.
.
As for Granny Miles, she was looking at the third thing that neither Shad nor the Witch could recognize, which was obviously her goal this time.
It was a tattered notebook. Shade somehow thought of the angel-level relic [Puppet Operator's Notebook], but it was obviously not that thing. The notebook had a blue cover, with the corners rolled up, and the blue color
There are mottled marks everywhere, like fading.
Because it is a notebook, there must be no name on the cover, which means there is no way to know what it is.
Before Shade and Miss Higgins made any move, Old Mrs. Miles took the initiative to put the scales on the table:
"I want this."
She actually put all three of her coins up in one breath, and the scale immediately tilted toward her. The witch hurriedly helped her get a coin, and the scale regained its balance.
The old woman reached for the notebook on the table, and then followed Shade and Miss Higgins in a daze, who was determined not to be tempted, back to the camp beside the bonfire.
There was no one in the camp, and the boy who had just returned early still didn't show up. As for the giant devil's face made of coins, there was no trace, and it was probably hidden in the fire again. Because of the quick action this time, everyone's torches were all gone.
There is still light, so there is no need to rush back like last time.
After the three of them sat down by the fire, Mrs. Miles warmed herself up and took a rest, while Shade and the Witch each checked the notebook she bought back. After flipping through it quickly, they found that it was indeed full of blank pages, except on the last page, with
The curly letters that only Shade could recognize read——
【If my memory cannot remember her, then I ask you to record her story.】
"Memories will always fade. But if you record them with a pen on paper, if you are lucky, maybe the memories of the past will last longer."
After hearing Shade's translation, Miss Higgins sighed, and then told Shade what it was.
