By the time Shad returned home from Randall Valley with two red butterfly playing cards, it was almost lunch time. He saw Luvia and Iluna's shoes in the hall and knew that they had returned.
Sure enough, when they arrived on the second floor and entered the door, they saw Luvia and Iluna sitting on the sofa chatting, while little Mia was lying on the window sill, basking in the sun as usual.
"Welcome home!"
Shade opened his arms and hugged the two girls respectively. The three of them reunited in Saint Teresa Square after a long absence, and Shade was also very happy.
Iluna and Luvia have already taken leave from the church and the Prophet's Association respectively, and have just returned to Tobesk City. They have to deal with some personal matters, so they don't have to go to work all day today.
Shade then went to a restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue to order lunch and asked the restaurant to deliver the lunch directly to his home.
Because it was a family dinner, it could be more casual, and they talked about a lot of things during the lunch. Iluna showed off her eight-ring life ring, and told them about the new power she had gained:
"When I was promoted, I was promoted to the eighth ring because of the 'two-in-one' fusion with Sha De. Sha De's soul is very warm."
She was still a little embarrassed when she said this, but seeing that Luvia had no reaction, she continued to introduce:
"Later, Shade merged with me and the chosen one from space to repair the space-time vortex in the sky. During this period, I came into contact with the essence of the composite soul that had just become the chosen one, so I gained an additional spiritual rune [
Distorted space].”
As she spoke, she also demonstrated her newly acquired ability to the two of them. She did not suddenly learn the power of space movement such as "Raglai's Jump", but another strange ability:
"Look."
Her left and right hands stretched out her thumb and index finger respectively, and the four fingers were brought together into a rectangular shape. Then her eyes looked at the fork on Shade's plate through the frame formed by her fingers. The fork disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in Iluna's body.
In hand:
"As long as I can see objects in this way, I can get them. At present, they can only be objects without souls, but I can feel that as I advance, I will be able to capture living people in this way in the future.
Is this not a thaumaturgy, but a talent? Oh, just like before, I don’t understand it either.”
"The Mirror Association also has similar abilities, but their power is different from yours. You can learn spells such as 'Eagle Eye Technique', so that you can get things that are inconvenient to get directly from thousands of meters away."
Shade thinks this ability is quite useful.
Luvia thought for a while:
"I remember that after the story of the Dark Chosen One, the ability you gained was"
"Dark Vortex."
The vortex appeared in front of Iluna. She stretched out her hand through the vortex, and her right arm appeared on Shade's side, putting his fork back:
"The dark vortex is the power of darkness. Although it behaves like space, its essence is completely different. But with the new spiritual runes, maybe I can try to learn other space powers. I don't know if I have such a talent. I heard
It's difficult."
Shade and Luvia both laughed, and Shade even said:
"Laplace Howard left me a lot of books, which contain a lot of information about space thaumaturgy. Iluna, you have also touched the statue of the ancient god under the Green Lake Hotel. If you have time, you can go to the old Edwards house and read the books.
"
"Reading a book"
Iluna shook her head in distress, put away her life ring, and then concentrated on the stew on the dinner plate. Shade said to Luvia:
"Speaking of those books, Luvia, I asked Meghan to help organize them and move the books about astrology and divination to No. 6, Saint Teresa Square. These books are for you. I am very familiar with astrology and divination.
My understanding is only superficial. Oh, there is an extra room on the third floor, where you can put those books, just opposite your astrology room."
They didn't know about the extra room on the third floor, so they listened to Shade's brief introduction. Later, Luvia also showed her life ring. She now has seven rings:
"I was promoted on the way back. No, I didn't prepare for the promotion ceremony. I had a weird dream. I don't remember what I dreamed about. It seemed like I was wearing different clothes and commenting on my life or something.
But when I woke up, it was already the seventh ring, oh, how do I explain this to the association?"
Although there is an expression of trouble on her face, it is definitely a happy trouble. Luvia guides the chosen ones and witnesses the chosen ones, and they will all benefit from it. Shade guesses that this is because she guided or broke the established destiny, so
Got the reverse force of fate.
But now she has reached the seventh ring like Shade. This level can be regarded as a decent combat power in the material world.
"I am also at the seventh level now, so I don't need to introduce you. You were all there that day. Since Iluna is already at the eighth level, the middle level sublimation language only needs the last spiritual rune, right?"
Shade asked again.
Iluna put down her knife and fork and nodded lightly. She was particularly elegant when eating. This seemed to be something she learned during her training at the Holy See:
"My words of sublimation in the middle circle, the [Fool] who [dances] [Thunder], will definitely [Tear] the [Poetry] of fate. The core spiritual rune is [Thunder], and now only the [Fool] is missing. In fact, [Destiny]
It only requires any one of the [Poems]. Different combination methods will lead to different sublimation rituals and different final forms of sublimation words. This is similar to my low-level sublimation words."
Iluna's low-level sublimation words are "The [hero] who [chases] [light] will eventually [break free] from the [shackles] of fate." Among them, choose one of "destiny" and "shackles", and Iluna chooses
Off the shackles.
In other words, Iluna had the opportunity to choose "destiny" twice but failed to choose it. In the middle of the ring, she once again gave up "destiny" and chose "verse".
"[The Fool], maybe I can help, but this spiritual rune is indeed not simple."
Luvia said at the side, and Shade thought again that her words of sublimation were "writing in whispers, writing poems of destiny."
"One is 'writing the poem of destiny', and the other is 'tearing the poem of destiny into pieces'."
Shade thought silently in his heart, not sure whether this meant anything.
After lunch, the servants from the Golden October Restaurant came to clear the table and collect the tableware. Before they left, Shade did not forget to remind them about the meal delivery time in the evening.
"I spent the money myself this time, not on Lesia or Carina's account. There is a large amount of property in the old Edwards house, which Megan and Audrey and I jointly hold. As for the Fulen brothers,
The Edwards brothers and the others have Megan and Audrey as elders, so naturally they don't have a share. Laplace Howard personally said it was given to me, and I'm not that generous. And that property is huge.
Part of it is not easy to sell, so Meghan said that if I need money, I can ask her to withdraw it. Why does it feel a little wrong?”
Shade asked doubtfully, and of course the purple-eyed girl laughed. As for the dinner in the evening, it was to make up for Iluna's birthday party. When he went out at noon, he even ordered a cake.
And since those properties were mentioned, Shade did not forget to tell them how many books, laboratories, and materials the fortune tellers left behind. Just that small piece of "Philosopher's Stone" was enough to satisfy Shade, not to mention
Other gains.
"I have inherited his fire and continue to move forward in his place."
"Go forward, where are you going?"
Iluna asked in confusion. The afternoon sunlight shone through the window into the living room on the second floor. Shade looked at them while holding the cat taking a nap:
"The end of the world, yes, the end of the world is coming."
He told what he knew about it and Laplace Howard's description of it.
Luvia is not surprised at all:
"There will definitely be a big event in the end, the end of the world? This answer is a bit cliché, but what does the chosen one have to do with this?"
She doesn’t seem to be worried about the end of the world at all:
"We are already on the right path, and the pursuit of the Thirteen Chosen Ones has become even more valuable. Witness their stories, let as many Chosen Ones as possible stand by our side, and then push open the final door. Balance
, death, knowledge, earth, space. We will win them all."
Although Shade was worried, even Iluna was not worried about this:
"Luvia is right!"
The eighteen-year-old girl believed that Shade would definitely save the world, so she didn't have to worry about the end of the world. She could just wait for Shade to deal with it or Shade to ask her for help. But she was thinking about it, after Shade saved the world, it would be up to her.
Come and save Shade. She is still thinking about the secret language composed of five words, and still thinking about how to find the "dead" thing and then resurrect it.
She even couldn't decide whether to ask Shade and Luvia. Although the five "guardians" didn't say anything, she still felt that it was best for only she to know the secret message:
"But I want Shade to have the strongest feelings for me. Do you want to ask Luvia for help?"
Her thoughts became more and more divergent, but she just didn't focus on the news of the end of the world.
Seeing that they were not very worried, Xia De felt a little relieved:
"No matter what the future holds, let's go on together. I will investigate all of this, and there are more people, and prepare for the final end. Luvia, Iluna, just as agreed at the beginning
, we will move forward together until the end."
Luvia asked with a smile:
"Do you want to do this?"
She stretched out her right hand, so Shade put it on it. Iluna immediately put her hand on Shade's hand, and clamped it with Luvia:
"Yes, until the end!"
The three of them said together that even if they knew the end of the world, they would still support each other and move forward together. Just like Shade said, this was an agreement from the beginning.
