Chapter 3737 The Abnormal Ellie
"Ellie returned to normal after the battle."
Stella recounted Ellie's performance from the previous night to Shad, and stated with certainty:
"Ellie's combat ability in human form is even stronger than in unicorn form."
Shad looked at Ellie suspiciously. The little unicorn stared wide-eyed at Shad, who was sitting on a small stool. Shad understood what Ellie meant:
"You did a great job, you were a big help this time."
He reached out and patted Ellie's head again, and Ellie finally squinted her eyes in satisfaction. As Shad reached out, the cat leaped up his arm and landed on Ellie's head. Shad thought Mia was finally going to show off the sharpness of her claws, and he was about to stop her when he noticed Mia patting Ellie's head just like him, and the little unicorn didn't seem to mind.
"So, can Ellie transform into human form again?"
Shad then asked the three girls. Luvia was still pondering, Stella couldn't answer the question, so Flora said:
"That depends on the results of the subsequent examinations. She played a significant role in the final battle against the Lustful Ones. If she can transform again, she might be able to play a role in the final battle on the snowy mountain as well. We just spoke with Ellie, trying to get her to transform back into human form, but she ignored us."
Emilia said that Allie can perfectly understand everyone's languages, Shad, why don't you give it a try?
Shad then said to Ellie:
"Ellie, can you still transform into human form?"
The little unicorn, who had been lying down, suddenly stood up, happily rubbed against Shad's arm, and then pure white light enveloped her entire body.
Luvia, Flora, and Stella immediately perked up, while Shad keenly noticed that the cat above Ellie's head was not enveloped in the white light.
The white light in unicorn form gradually shrank into a human shape, and under the excited gaze of little Leona, the girl in the white robe who had entrusted Shad with the fate of "resurrection" the night before reappeared. Her waterfall-like white hair still had moonlight-colored highlights at the ends, and her irises were a rare light silver-gray. The cat perched on her head inexplicably reminded Shad of the time last autumn when the little princess was forced to wear a cat because of her disappearance.
The girl wasn't tall, or even shorter than Adelina. After she appeared, she touched her friend Leona beside her, then opened her arms and hugged Shad's arm.
Shad and the cat on Ellie's head exchanged a glance, then looked at the girl's light silver-gray eyes:
"Are you Ellie?"
"Yes."
She speaks a very clear Carsenrick Common.
How did you transform?
The somewhat bewildered girl blinked:
"Butterfly."
Shad didn't understand the answer. He wanted to ask more, but the white light enveloped the girl again, and then Ellie reappeared in her unicorn form. She let out a soft, weary cry, and then lay down next to little Leona.
Anyone could see that she was very tired, and Shad could guess that maintaining her human form was extremely taxing for Ellie.
"This transformation should be repeatable. Judging from her performance just now, Ellie has mastered the ability to transform autonomously. However, I don't recommend letting her try it again today. Let Ellie rest for a while."
Flora spoke from the side, while Luvia sat on the small stool Helen had just been sitting on, and also reached out her hand to the little unicorn:
“Flora is right, let’s not let Ellie try again today. But Shad, there’s something else I need to mention to you. Didn’t Ellie gain control of the power of moonlight a few days ago? But I don’t think she gained control of the moonlight because of contact with it. Rather, it was because she established a good relationship with you, which created a connection of fate, and then she gained power from that interconnected destiny.”
Ellie didn't particularly like Luvia's touch, but she didn't flinch.
"Simply put, Ellie has a talent for gaining power by building good relationships with others. I think I need to talk to Winnie about the little unicorn's performance in the Fifth Age. Ellie's ability to use ice and snow probably isn't just because she lives with the Ice Witch Empress."
"What a fairytale talent!"
Flora stood to the side and commented, then realized what the "butterfly" meant earlier:
"If what Luvia said is true, Ellie's ability to transform into a human in a controlled manner is not only due to the residual power of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans], but also related to its contact with the Red Butterfly Twins?"
"That's very likely the reason. This doesn't seem to be a common talent among unicorns. Although Emilia said 'the heart that believes is magic,' this ability is too much."
Luvia hesitated, but Shad believed she was thinking the same thing as him:
"Luvia, do you remember our discussion about the turtle? Is it possible that Ellie is actually a candidate as well?"
Shad had even suspected the [Void] turtle before, so of course he wouldn't forget Ellie's suspicions now. Luvia didn't give a direct answer:
"It's hard to say. In the story of fate, what my eyes see may not be accurate."
"How about giving her a snake molt?"
Stella then suggested:
"Wouldn't it be easier to determine Ellie's identity by simply looking at the specific characters she plays?"
Before leaving, Priest Augustus returned the unused snake skin to Shad, which was indeed a worthwhile option. However, Bella, who came from outside the unicorn's den, rejected the idea:
“Since Ellie hasn’t shed her snake skin yet, let’s not give her one. Let’s stick to the same approach as before. The story has progressed to a point where everything is very delicate. Ellie has only shown a unique talent, but she hasn’t resonated with any of the Rings of Fate yet, so let’s not try to interpret her fate with her snake skin.”
Countess Moon Bay stood at the door. She hadn't participated in the battle last night, and was in much better condition than the others.
Luvia also approves of this approach:
"Even if we give her the snake molt, it won't have any effect on Ellie, so let's not give it to her for now. As for whether Ellie is a candidate, we'll see later if she can find her own Ring of Destiny."
"Then let Ellie and Leona rest for now, but since we've brought up the Ring of Fate..."
Then the witches and Luvia saw Shad open the "Handbook of Fate," from which four rings of different colors floated out.
"Four? That many? Stella only mentioned death and resurrection."
"These are all the spoils of this battle. Let Ellie touch them. Little Leona, Mia, you all come too."
The four rings represent "Death," "Resurrection," "Reproduction," and "The Fool." The rings were touched by two unicorns and a cat's paw, but no unique phenomena occurred.
"Let everyone touch it in a bit."
Luvia smiled and said:
"But Shad, at least you've found your first destiny, Rebirth, isn't that right?"
The white ring, once held by a demon, flew to Shad's feet, then transformed into a brand on the back of his right hand within its own light. Stella and Iluna could also resonate with the ring, but they couldn't do this; Shad suspected it was half of the [Noble] that was at work.
"I'll tell everyone about [Su Sheng] when we have breakfast later, but this is for you."
The black [Fool], still showing signs of cracking, floated towards Luvia:
"It's still unclear whether Ellie is a candidate, but at least this one is definitely yours."
The girl with purple eyes reached out and grabbed it.
With a hum, the black ring instantly turned purple. At the same time, Luvia's life ring emerged from behind her, the purple light of destiny gathering behind her until it sculpted the whispered rune "The Fool".
"What abilities did you gain?"
Bella asked curiously, while Luvia looked at the ring in her hand and shook her head after a long while:
"The ring is cracked, this fate is flawed, so for now it can only help me resist the impact of fate. Its only active effect is the power left by its previous owner, Valentine Halonin—I can observe the rings of fate that others possess. This is similar to Shad's ability, but I can only observe the name of the fate, not its interpretation. Fool, this fate is very unique."
The witches who returned later all came to visit Ellie, who was said to be able to transform into human form. The photo of "Ellie in human form" drawn by Sirius from Stella's memories was the talk of the town at breakfast.
It was already nine o'clock when breakfast started on Friday. Things on the island were gradually calming down, and the ordinary people living here had no idea what had happened the night before.
The great witches, also exhausted from a long night's work, reunited on the ship, discussing the gains and losses of the previous night and sharing their thoughts on the fifth act.
"This girl is so beautiful, like a character from a fairy tale. I always thought that dyeing the hair in front of the forehead a different color was ugly, but now it seems acceptable. Why can she conjure clothes but not shoes?"
Galina commented on the photo and then handed it to Dorothy, who was standing next to her.
The writer also saw the photo of Ellie, softly praising the girl's pure eyes before handing it to Granny Cassandra beside her. The old witch, gazing at Ellie in the photo, confirmed with Shad:
"Was it Miss Beatrice or Ellie who delivered the final blow to the lustful?"
"It depends on how you define the final blow. Strictly speaking, the death of the Lustful One occurred before Mr. Snake appeared, and the final blow was delivered by Iluna's Sunlight Gun. We'll tally the points again later; Iluna's points should be second only to mine."
