Seeing that Shade wanted to get up, Miss Olanold asked him to sit down and said in a gentle tone:
"The library is very dangerous, so don't go there."
Then his tone became more serious:
"Fiona, go ahead and bring that shrine back."
She said to her students, and the girl with red hair immediately stood up and nodded slightly:
"Good teacher."
Her crimson hair looked more textured under the firelight, and after standing up, a huge shadow with a tail was immediately reflected on the wall behind her. The murals on the wall were already mottled, depicting the old scene of the library.
And on some of the murals on the map, there are huge shadows with tails, which look a bit like the scenery in a puppet show.
Miss Olanode then explained to Shade:
"Fiona is only at level seven. We chose to bring her here because her red dragon bloodline can slightly resist the loss of power during the Blizzard period."
"That's right."
Shade learned new knowledge, and then watched the young witch dig out the made torch from the debris behind her, lit it with a bonfire, and walked towards the corridor on the left.
Miss Olanold signaled the witches of Zalas Academy to prepare a list of daily necessities, and Shade thought of another thing:
"Miss Oranold, I have one more thing to ask. After 3014, has anyone who attended the Vampire God's reception come to see you?"
He further explained:
"In 3014, I attended the drinking party of the vampire god with a witch, a pair of twins and an old gentleman."
"I don't know about the old gentleman, but the teacher seems to have mentioned the twins and another witch. However, when the twins came to visit, I happened to not be with the teacher..."
Miss Olanold shook her head:
"But I heard that with the help of their teacher, the twin girls officially became witches and regained some of the memories related to that cocktail party. Unfortunately, they didn't mention you. But they thought of another person at the cocktail party.
Regarding the witch, the teacher helped find another witch, and then the twins began to study with that witch."
"And after that?"
Lesia's information stated that the Twins and the Sikal Mountain area called upon the gods and defeated the evil being sealed by the family, but he did not know the process in between.
"I know very little about what happened after that. It seems that we called the gods together in a certain area of the Central Continent and fought with a subspace evil thing."
"I know this!"
Miss Becky Samuel, who was writing, said:
"The appearance of gods and sealed ancient evils was a major event with far-reaching consequences. The academy once sent people to observe the scene after the battle, but they only found a seriously injured witch who seemed to have received the favor of the vampire god.
.She is currently recuperating at the club headquarters, but her condition is still not good. We hope to know from her what happened at that time, so we are continuing to treat her. As for the twin girls, sorry, there is no second in that area.
A living thing."
"This happened three years ago. After the witch and the twins disappeared, the teacher felt sorry for them for a long time."
Miss Ole Nord also added.
"That's it"
Shade also sighed.
In other words, among the other four people at the reception, the armored old man holding the demon hunting seal died in the Sikal Mountain area, the middle-aged witch has not yet awakened after helping her two students, and the whereabouts of the twins are unknown.
.
For a moment, he didn't know how he should feel when he accepted the ending of the story. Miss O'Lanold didn't speak either. There was only the sound of the wind and snow whistling outside the door, the crackling of the bonfire in front of him and the sound of Becky S.
Miss Muir's writing voice was unusually clear.
Fortunately, in Fort Midhill in the sixth era, a whole era after the end of the story, this lost story related to blood, twins, contracts and witches still exists in the post-end chapter. And Foreign Country
Travelers still have the opportunity to continue to know stories that have not happened yet.
【Perhaps, that is also your story.】
She is chuckling.
"Okay, this is all we need for now."
The witch let the parchment roll in her hand float past the campfire and came to Shad's side.
Shade moved forward, and with an extremely worried mood, he took a look by the light of the bonfire and found that they were just ordinary daily necessities, and he also specifically noted that the material did not need to be considered. It seemed that these were very knowledgeable.
The witches could tell Shade's financial resources just by his clothes, so they didn't ask for too much.
Although there are many items on the list, the total price will never exceed 100 pounds. Only six sets of ladies' robes with marked sizes are the most expensive. Although 100 pounds is among the most expensive items for skilled workers, train drivers or senior tailors,
They are of a similar class and earn a lot of money after working hard for a whole year in Tobesk, but for a detective who recently made a fortune from an exotic princess, this money is not much.
Just when Shade wanted to continue asking about Miss Feliana's current situation, such as her health and other topics, the witch of Zalas asked curiously:
"Sir, while you have time, can you explain this power? What is this spell?"
Miss Becky Samuel said again, curiously pointing to the shadow of the silver moon above the bonfire.
"This is not a spell, it's just a thaumaturgy of the Ring Warlock system."
As he spoke, he summoned the life ring behind him, and the brass ring slowly rotated in the steam:
"You should have heard of the ring wizard system, right?"
"Yes, that's what it is."
Miss Becky Samuel nodded, and asked Miss Olanold:
"I know that Miss Feliana has been studying this somewhat weak extraordinary system, and you should have mastered some basic theoretical knowledge. Britney, since you are also good at the power of the moon, can you learn this interesting spell?
Woolen cloth?"
This is a good idea. With [Silent Moonlight], at least the three witches can leave the Deadly Valley safely.
"I don't mind sharing my power, but this thaumaturgy is a gift given to me by a great man. I don't know how to learn it."
He explained again, and then the sound of footsteps came again. The young witch with red hair actually came back, and she rolled up the sleeves of the thin white shirt with great effort, and came back holding a heavy stone shrine with both hands.
Already.
Her physical strength is absolutely terrifying and astonishing.
The three of them temporarily ended their discussion on thaumaturgy and helped Fiona, a witch with red dragon bloodline, place the heavy shrine on Miss Becky Samuel's stack of books - the shrine cannot be placed directly on the ground.
, this is a very traditional rule.
The stone shrine looks unusually simple, with no decorative patterns on the surface. There are only some peeling color marks on the two small doors. The two small doors are closed at this time, and there are symbols representing books on the doors. The surface of the shrine is
There was a thick layer of dust attached to it, and it looked like it hadn't been touched for a long time.
After Shade quietly apologized for the impolite behavior of the four people, he reached out and opened the two doors of the shrine. There was no special holy light effect. They only saw an empty shrine with a dead animal that didn't know when.
The corpse of the spider must have starved to death. Looking carefully, I saw an inconspicuous stone slab placed at the bottom of the shrine. The stone slab was made of ordinary material, but the four corners were decorated with reflective metal materials.
The corners are the patterns of new moon, first quarter moon, full moon and last quarter moon respectively.
【Outlander, you have experienced a miracle.】
"The library and the moon. Wait, why are there no holy symbols and statues?"
Shade asked with some surprise, the other three didn't know either.
No one dared to put their hands in directly, but with the help of the light of the bonfire, they could barely see clearly the contents on the stone slab.
The decorative pattern on the edge of the stone slab makes it look like the cover of a hard-cover book. On the surface are ancient characters that only Shade can understand.
"Is this a Second Age text?"
The witch of Zarath Academy was extremely surprised:
"So ancient?"
"It doesn't matter, I can understand it. It seems to be a little poem."
He translated in a low voice:
"The power of knowledge inheritance,
Books carry civilization.
When the fire of civilization is destroyed,
The libraries of old will also fall into silence.
one day,
When the book of past, present and future appears,
The old sage with the staff will come from the sky,
Reclaim the knowledge that does not belong to mortals.
This is,
The End of Caddis."
"Then what?"
Miss Olanold asked.
"There is no more, unless there is text on the back."
Shade replied:
"It seems like a ritual that requires us to sacrifice the book of the past, the book of the present and the book of the future."
"Is it that simple?"
The red-haired young witch asked quietly behind her teacher, as if she was afraid of disturbing the shrine:
"Although the Book of the Future is difficult to understand, will the God Summoning Ceremony be so simple? There is no need to even prepare a ritual matrix."
"Perhaps, that god has been waiting for us for a long time."
The witch of Zalas reminded, Olanode frowned and was still thinking, but Shade already understood what she meant:
"Then try this ritual."
"Okay, give this ritual a try."
Miss Becky Samuel nodded, adjusted her glasses, and picked up an old book from beside her:
"Most of these are found in this library. They can be called books of the past."
"Then let this be the current book. This is a new book written by the teacher. The teacher asked me to read it during this adventure."
Miss Olanold asked her student to take out another book from the backpack. The title of the book is "The Adventures of Mana Volume 3". Twenty-two years ago at the current time, Shade time
Two months ago, he had seen the first volume in the Forest of Thousand Trees.
"Then, let's use this for the book of the future. I often take the book with me on adventures outside, and I can read it when I have nothing to do."
Shade said, unbuttoning his bloated coat, layer by layer, until he reached the black coat. After unbuttoning, he opened one side of the clothes, and then took out a handful of small items from the inner pocket.
Toy.
"Sir, are you a toy merchant by profession?"
The witch of Zalas asked with a smile, and then saw Shade covering the book toy with a handkerchief, and then the toy turned into a real book:
"Such an interesting power."
The book that Shade took out was his first-grade textbook "Introduction to Astronomy". Although he had passed the first-grade exam, the content in this book was still very useful.
"But, this book of the future? I probably understand."
Miss Becky Samuel raised her eyebrows and handed the old book in her hand to Shade. Then Miss Olanold also handed the book in her hand to Shade, even though he was the weakest of the three.
That one.
The witches took a few steps back in tacit agreement and stood on the other side of the bonfire looking at Shade. Shade turned to look at them, so Miss Olanold gave him a smile, seeming to encourage Shade to be bolder:
"Xia De, it's up to you this time."
"Is this simple ritual really possible? The ritual of the Evil God [Lord of the Blood Feast] is so complicated, and the ritual of the Old God [Year Transformation Door] almost made Ms. Feliana make a mistake. Is it similar to the God of Gambling?
, just a simple projection?”
Thinking in his mind, Shade put the three books inside the shrine. He jumped back suddenly to prevent an accident, but nothing happened. So he thought about it, closed the door of the shrine again, and waited for a while, but nothing happened.
None of it happened.
"It doesn't seem to work."
He turned around hesitantly and spoke to the witches, only to find that they had retreated even further at some point. The three of them stood together in fear, almost standing at the edge of the bonfire's light.
"You, you, back, back"
The witch of Zalas pointed behind Shad in panic, and the red-haired girl lowered her head, while Miss Olanode covered her mouth and used her other hand to signal Shad to look at him.
