Time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that Xia De couldn't remember how long he had lived in this forest. He only knew that the moon was getting closer and closer to him.
He has obtained enough crystals, and only needs the last small piece. The crystals that contain the bright light can be gathered together to become the true remains of the original moon.
So on that unrecorded night, Shade took all her crystals and found the traveling merchant in the woods again. At this time, her location had turned into a crystallized forest made of crystals, and under the moon
The crystal forest reflected the cold moonlight beautifully, but Shade knew that the moon he wanted was not here.
The businessman stood in the forest waiting for him as usual. Shade asked hopefully:
"What do I have to pay this time for you to give me the last crystal?"
The businessman did not smile this time, but looked at him with a somewhat solemn expression:
"I originally thought that you were the first person to let go. You have your own great goals, and you can easily let go of everything else. But even I didn't expect that the moon."
"Don't change the subject, I just want the crystal, I want the moon."
Shade repeated seriously, and the expression on the businessman's face turned sad:
"Such a flawless soul, but unable to put it down because of its own light. The werewolf seemed paranoid but actually never picked it up. The elf longed for a lot but put it down because of friendship. The green dragon was persistent but knew his responsibilities. Even the man who was captured
The chosen one also always knows the balance in his heart.
And you, the foreign child, do you know what you are doing?"
"Give me the crystal, and I will piece together the sealed moonlight. As long as I come into contact with the remains of the original moon, I will definitely be able to see her!"
Shade insisted, and the god who turned into a businesswoman fell silent. Fortunately, Shade did not make a move to rob her, but just stared at her firmly. The crystal bush reflected the blurry shadows of the two people, and those shadows swayed, reflecting
But they are not who they are at this time.
The moonlight was gentle but cold. Under the moonlight, they waited in silence for the ending. After a while, the businesswoman asked:
"Why can't you let go? As long as you understand the principle of 'temperance', not only does it mean that you have completed my course, but you can also get the fairy tale runes and mythical locks that belong to you.
You are a wise man who has passed the test. You should understand that I do not want you to give up your persistence, but I just want you to understand that sometimes it is good to be more moderate. After all, the moon is not the only thing in your life."
"Why should I put it down? Some things can be put down, but some things I can't put down after I pick them up."
Shade continued to shake his head and looked up at the huge silver moon above the crystal jungle:
"I must see her, absolutely! The story isn't over yet, is it? Even if the story ends badly, at least I got what I wanted. Now, please give me the last piece of crystal."
The businesswoman then raised her head and looked at the moonlight:
"The moon has blessed you, but you also because of that moon. Although I shouldn't question your greatness, do you really think this is right for him?"
She did not continue talking, but reached out and took out the last flawless crystal from her bag. Its shining light, which represented the eternal moonlight, still fascinated Shade.
The businesswoman warned:
"This is our last transaction, and this is also the ending of this story. Whether you get it from me, or give up at the last moment, this story written by you on the World Tree will truly be
Engraved into your soul.
But different choices mean different futures. Are you really that stubborn about that silver moon, that moon that you clearly know is behind you?"
Shade looked at her, and finally reached out to take the crystal. But his hand paused at this moment, because the businesswoman standing in front of him now had a pair of purple eyes.
The businessman asked him:
"Looking at these eyes, do you still want to say, you must see the moon with your own eyes? I don't want you to give up your pursuit completely, you just should control your obsession and don't forget what you really want.
"
Luvia's eyes were looking at him at this moment. Although Shade's hand paused, he still stretched forward:
"Whether these eyes are looking at me or not has nothing to do with whether I want to see the moon with my own eyes!"
The speaking voice was mixed with the rustling crystal sound. Shade, holding the crystal, turned into an eternal crystal statue at the end of the story, just like the elf in the original story, and stood in this magnificent land.
In the crystal forest.
The power of freezing time triggered a resistance from his own power, and even the eight-ring life ring appeared. But it was of no use, because this was his own choice. As he completely turned into a crystal statue,
The life ring made of crystal also reflected the cold light under the moon.
His expression was fixed on the final joy and relief, but there was still some apology. The god in the night stared at him, and it took him a long time to return to his black-robed appearance. He looked up at the figure suspended above Shade's head.
That perfect silver moon:
"Do you really think this is good? I know your kindness and tenderness, but at this moment I still wonder whether this is your way to manipulate him?"
But the moon would not answer his question, but the god smiled and said:
"I actually don't regret the choice of this last student, because he hesitated after all. Between you and those purple eyes, he actually hesitated, between you and that mortal."
God looked at Shade, who was now transformed into an eternal crystal:
"There is no right or wrong in this course. Your choice is your own. But I still regret that you failed to understand the principle of moderation. It doesn't matter, foreign students, dear children, teachers will always teach young people
A second chance, and I will give you a second chance."
There was a click sound, and clear cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal statue that should have been eternal. As the click sounds continued, more cracks appeared on the face of the crystal due to the squirming words of the mouth.
He did not change back to his original state, but only relied on his own soul power to forcibly control the movement of the crystal that even time could not destroy:
"Even eternity can't change my mind. I want to see her, I must see her!"
The clicking sound also appeared on the life ring. The crystal life ring originally seemed to be solidified in the moonlight, but now it slowly rotated. While the life ring rotated, the crystal fragments attached to the life ring rustled.
Falling rustily, the crystallized Shade even turned his cracked body back at this moment and looked at the mountains of crystals he had brought.
The god flew silently into the night sky. Under the night sky, he watched him grab the last crystal and throw his body into the pile of crystals.
So the originally silent crystal forest burst out with unparalleled bright moonlight at this moment, as if the moon had fallen into the forest at this moment, and as if the moon was originally there.
The huge life ring covered with cracks rotated rapidly in the silver moonlight, and the crystal fragments splashed everywhere by the life ring caused the crystal forest that originally only occupied a small area in the forest to rapidly infect and expand outward.
Right in the center of this expanding forest, the blasphemous silver aura could no longer be distinguished from the original bright moonlight. The life ring, which had turned back into brass, absorbed the silvery white light as it rotated and rotated further and further.
The faster, and Shade in the crystal opened his arms as if to embrace the light at this moment.
Even the gods in the sky who were watching the changes in the forest didn't know what he was holding on to at the moment. After all, this was just a story, and those crystals would not really turn into the remains of the original moon.
But looking at the scene at his feet, God laughed again:
"You cannot judge whether a student is good or bad based on just one thing. Stubbornness and perseverance are inherently difficult to distinguish. Since your stubbornness can even transcend eternity, and since your belief can really make you desecrate the final course, then as a
In the second chance I give you, I will turn 'control' into strength. When you can let it go in your heart in the future, you will still be able to complete the last lesson.
The sage who created the world, the ancient moonlight older than the world, the supervisor who records all things, I hope you will allow me to do this."
The god pointed his finger at the rotating life ring, and a new power was truly born at this moment.
【Outlander, you feel "blasphemy".】
[The elves in fairy tales are attracted by desire, and they don’t know when to withdraw, and eventually let themselves fall into the trap. But you who fell into the fairy tale were attracted by the untouchable moon in the night sky, and finally chose to incarnate into eternity. The light of the crystal is in front of you.
Fascinating you who know no restraint, may your stubbornness remain with eternity. But when you see your true self in the crystal, you still have a chance, my dear stranger, you still have a chance to turn around and leave.】
"No!"
[Outlander, you listened to the blasphemy engraved on the bark of the World Tree, and you wrote your own blasphemy.]
The rotating life ring gathered all the silver light into one part of the life ring, and what was engraved was the fourth spiritual rune belonging to the eight rings.
[Outlander, you have engraved the silver blasphemous spiritual rune-Crystal Light.]
[You have obtained the thaumaturgy: Mystery Lock-Crystal Light. Open the Mystery Lock and summon an endless crystal jungle. Your stubbornness is enough to freeze time and space. Under normal circumstances, you can summon a crystal mirror. If the person looking at the mirror lets go of his heart,
Obsession will gain new power, and this effect also works on the caster himself.】
When Shade opened his eyes, he was still standing in front of the blackboard on the highest floor of the tower, and the tree bark with the complete story of "Crystal Light" was floating beside him.
