Chapter 3781 Freedom and Redemption
Emilia introduced this to the witches and Dorothy:
"Recently, many elven clans that lived in the hidden corners of the material world have suddenly emerged, some of which have not appeared since the Sixth Age. This ring is a rare ceremonial gift given to me by the 'Windleaf Clan,' who worship the Tree Father but are skilled in using the power of the wind element. They said that this ring has been kept in their hands for two ages."
Emilia then explained:
"The Windleaf Clan is a distant relative of the Wind Chaser Clan, from which Professor Danist's great-grandmother came. Aunt Kisara also searched through a lot of documents before finding the name of this clan."
[Freedom] is not only a brand new cycle of destiny, but this destiny has already resonated with Emilia. The free sprite naturally also has a free destiny; even though she is about to become the Elf Queen, she still believes herself to be free, a destiny perfectly suited to her.
"Ang~"
Little Leona could sense her best friend's good mood and nuzzled against Emilia's arm. The pointy-eared elf girl, who was also in a very good mood, saw Azelina and greeted her with a smile, not forgetting to ask her why she had come here.
"Emilia has an IUD too."
The little princess felt both happy for her and a little disappointed. However, she didn't show her disappointment and walked over with Ellie.
When Emilia reached out to touch Ellie, abnormal reactions occurred in Ellie.
A vibrant green light appeared on Ellie's horn, a power symbolizing "life and nature," which Emilia recognized, of course.
"Only a very few unicorns can master the power of nature by living in the forest."
She happily hugged Ellie's neck, and from then on, Ellie gained a fourth power in addition to ice, moon, and red butterflies.
Upon returning to town with Luvia, Shad, while disappointed that Ellie hadn't gained the power of time, also realized he'd been too optimistic. Even if Ellie had indeed obtained the power of time from Emilia, the little unicorn probably wouldn't be able to fully utilize it.
She gained power only through the connection of fate, but this power is ultimately no match for that of their true owners.
Time was of the essence, and Shad, back in town, still had a mountain of things to deal with. The search for the right eye of the Ouroboros was progressing poorly; Bella believed it would likely take until the seventh act officially began, when fate became even more chaotic, to find that powerful artifact.
Meanwhile, the golden serpentine runes that Shad glimpsed in the murals through his snake-like eyes were being examined by Daniste as the group returned to the ship from the Snow Mountain Hall. However, even the caretaker could not identify the origin of those runes.
“That’s probably a rune from the First Era. We haven’t studied it at all. But in the Fatu people’s information that Claire provided some time ago, there were symbols that looked similar to this rune. I guess this rune is used for sealing.”
Daniste will stay on the ship until the afternoon to discuss Friday night's arrangements with the witches. While the professors of St. Byron's Academy cannot be considered part of Shad's faction, the 13th-ringed Red Moon Witch has become one of them, and she will lead the academy's ring sorcerers to assist the Council in the final battle of destiny.
"So, Adelina, do you know what's wrong with your forehead?"
In Shad's room on the Radiant Messenger, Shad, Dorothy, Luvia, and Bella were all present. Agelina held the teacup Matilda handed her, trying hard to recall the past, but the memory of a certain dream had long since vanished, just like the black tea she had drunk last week.
"I don't remember anyone touching my forehead."
The little princess answered honestly, and Bella then asked Shad:
"Shad, what can you see?"
At this moment, Shad stared intently at Adelina's forehead, which made the little princess a little embarrassed, and she was desperately trying to recall how well she had styled her bangs that morning.
"If you stare at it intently for a long time, you can indeed see a very complex color. This should be what Luvia divined, but I can't figure out the origin of this color."
He reached out and touched Adelina's forehead. Adelina sat there obediently, her face expressionless, without moving.
"I can't feel it with my hands; only my eyes can see it right now. This should be considered a destiny that's already formed, right? But why isn't it in the form of a ring?"
Luvia had thought about this issue this morning while waiting for Shad to attend the association's training session:
"The color on Adelina's forehead is somewhat like dissolving fate in ink. Although it's only similar, I think fate can be extracted again through a similar process. This process isn't difficult; after all, I've been studying ink for almost two months."
The problem now is that this destiny doesn't seem to have materialized on its own by Adelina; therefore, some being must have bestowed it upon her. But who would do such a thing?
Adelina has truly forgotten that dream completely:
"do not know."
Dorothy raised another crucial question:
"This fate has befallen Adelina. Does this mean that the fate of [Redemption] resonates with Adelina? If so, theoretically speaking, wouldn't Adelina be the most suitable person to hold the sword that Shad is about to forge?"
Everyone present then imagined the scene of the third-ring princess challenging Mr. Snake with a sword, and Xia De immediately shook his head:
“Even if Adelina could resonate with this fate, I would never send her to the battlefield. Adelina can stay on the island on the night of the final battle, but she will still have to stay on the ship, just like before.”
Luvia wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Dorothy, however, understood what Luvia was thinking, so the writer spoke with Lacey and then voiced what Luvia hadn't been able to say:
"Scepter - [King of Promises] - The Fate of Kingship, Ring - [Ring of War] - The Fate of War, Longsword - [Mark of Redemption] - The Fate of Redemption. Theoretically speaking, Adelina has now collected all three rings."
Furthermore, Shad stated that compared to the Night's Watch, the War Ring and the Promised Lord contain a purer destiny, and Azelina is actually closer to the state of 'three destinies' than Iluna.
Adelina's eyes lit up, but she knew she shouldn't speak at that moment. Shad had certainly considered this as well, but he really didn't want the low-ring's little princess to go to the battlefield.
"Luvia, let's try to extract the fate from Adelina's forehead first. This fate may not necessarily resonate with Adelina."
Although the little princess had forgotten the dream, she was convinced in her heart that this was her destiny.
While Luvia and Bella were busy, Shad went to find Emilia. Obtaining the Ring of Destiny through the Elven race was something Shad hadn't expected, since previously only the Prophet's Association possessed the Ring of Destiny left over from the ancient era.
You have witnessed the "Ring of Fate - Freedom," a destiny that breaks free from shackles and fearlessly defies constraints.
[Destiny Interpretation: Intelligent life is bound by shackles from the moment of its birth. These shackles originate from everything in life, but there are always some who yearn to break free of these shackles and attain true freedom.]
[Effect: Those who possess this destiny are immune to abilities that control the mind and body.]
Although this ring, like Shad's [Resurrection], only grants the holder non-combat abilities, its effects are just as powerful.
"Although it's not a combat-type skill, this way I can successfully participate in the final battle of destiny!"
Emilia spoke happily, holding the blue ring in her hands. Ellie, who had come to play on the ship, and Mia on Ellie's head both came over to sniff it, then pulled their heads back together. Shad noticed that Ellie seemed to have learned a lot from Mia lately; the little unicorn sometimes really did behave like a large cat.
Unfortunately, cat ears didn't appear after transforming into human form.
She whispered with a smile in Shad's ear, but Shad absolutely refused to admit that it was his own idea.
Emilia was still dreaming:
“Now that I have the first ring, doesn’t Izumi still have another chance? If I can obtain the second destiny there, I can share a lot of the pressure with you and Iluna, right?”
"That's right, so you need to keep an eye on Stella's movements on Friday night. The candidates will most likely run into Izumi, so you need to seize the opportunity."
"Since you won't let Adelina go to the battlefield, have you decided who will wield the Sword of Redemption? Iluna or Stella? Or it wouldn't be bad if it stayed in your hands."
Emilia inquired, "Shad hasn't decided yet. Iluna has the strongest fighting power, but theoretically, Stella, as a candidate, is more likely to strike with that sword."
"The witches and I are still discussing our plans for Friday. We'll see. I'm actually thinking about where Ellie should be on Friday night."
The elf girl didn't think much of it:
"Let Ellie and Mia stay together in a relatively safe place. You're going to the tavern at the docks to play cards that night, so you definitely can't take them with you."
"hold head high?"
Hearing Shad and Emilia talking about her, the little unicorn with bright blue eyes tilted its head curiously at them. Emilia smiled and patted Ellie's head, then asked Shad:
"How did Mia fall in love with Ellie? You see, I remember it didn't like anyone except you. It spent so much time with Leona, but it never managed to become friends with her."
The cat was perched on Ellie's head, and Ellie was happy to have Mia on her lap. In contrast, little Leona didn't seem so happy; the immature creature lay in another direction, seemingly hoping Emilia would protect her.
"I have a hard time understanding what this cat is thinking, but since Mia likes Ellie, it's definitely the best thing to let it stay with Ellie on Friday night."
He stood up from the small stool:
"It's about time. Let's go check if Luvia and the others have succeeded."
Things went smoothly. When Shad and Emilia returned to the room, Luvia was already examining the [Ring of Fate - Redemption]. This ring wasn't a solid color; its hues were extremely complex, like an overturned palette. Even though it was now confirmed that the ring's colors were only related to its state before it condensed and didn't reflect the power of fate, the strange, chaotic colors of [Redemption] were still unique.
