Chapter 3635 Winnie and the Moon Beast's Eyes
Ultimately, however, Miss Novare and the others didn't delve too deeply into the reasons behind Shad's trust in this non-human girl, because they discovered that this girl of extraordinary origins wasn't very powerful. Although she could be considered a high-ranking witch according to the hierarchy, she was clearly much weaker than they had imagined.
To reach the 50th floor, one must pass through the 40th floor. Therefore, when facing the unknown adventures on the 40th floor, this girl, who was just awakened by Shad and has some strength but is not yet very strong, can obviously also serve as a fighting force.
In times like these, having another person help is always a good thing.
"By the way, what's your name? How should we address you from now on?"
Ms. Gerd suddenly asked another question, and the girl who was looking at Shad glanced at her, then shook her head:
"I don't remember my own name, so please give me any name you like."
Ms. Gerd then looked at Shad, gesturing for him to suggest a name. Shad was actually quite curious to see what would happen if he suggested something like, "Why don't you name her Claire?", but fortunately, he wasn't the type to be overly curious.
"I'll call you Winnie for now."
It was an ordinary name, as ordinary as "Mia," who was currently eating cat food from Shad's palm, so Winnie nodded slightly:
What needs to be done next?
Xia De then finally retrieved the hard-won snake fang, explaining its purpose and his plans:
"Since I was able to bring it, it's highly likely that I can break the rune lock on the entrance to the 40th floor. However, the entire 40th floor is in an unknown state, and we may not be able to find a rest area up there. So we need to be fully prepared before we set off this time, I mean, prepared that we won't be coming back."
Apart from Winnie, who remained calm, the other three had varying expressions.
"Aren't you leaving anyone to guard this place?"
Ms. Gerd asked, and Shad shook his head:
“Once we complete the final task, the gods will most likely be able to send us away directly. Winnie and I can handle going to the 50th floor together; you guys can just leave here then.”
Besides, even if everyone went to the 50th floor with him, there was no need for them to come back.
Miss Cohens had no objection; the demon had been sealed away, her wish fulfilled, and she had no other ties to this place. Miss Novare glanced at her right arm but offered no further comment.
However, Ms. Gerd, who had always been very considerate of everyone, shook her head, which was quite unusual.
"I'll stay here. Please don't take any of the supplies. I still need to find my mother. I won't be of much help if I go with you. Besides, if you encounter any other problems upstairs, you can come back and rest."
"Everyone else has left. Can you survive here all by yourself?"
Shad asked why Ms. Gerd hadn't asked anyone else to stay with her:
"This is my last chance. Once I leave, I'm afraid I'll never be able to come back."
Her expression was resolute:
"I will not go back until I find my mother."
Shad certainly wanted to go with his companions:
“We still have two keys. In that case, let’s use one key to exchange for the guest list with God. If we’re sure your mother is on the 40th floor, can you come upstairs with us without any worries?”
"Okay. But didn't you want to exchange the Moon Beast's eyes for the power to fight against the falling star?"
She knew that Shad had already helped a lot:
"Although I want to find my mother, I can't let it kill the people who helped me. I am different from my mother."
She shook her head, wanting to refuse Shad's help, but Winnie suddenly said:
"How do we obtain the key you mentioned?"
"You can obtain it by locking the guest who has escaped from your room back in."
"So if they find out on the 50th floor that I am actually the resident of room 5012, you can lock me back in."
Shad was even less likely to do this, and in the end, Miss Noire made the decision:
"First, go to the first floor to get the guest directory. After we solve the problem on the 40th floor, we'll work together to go to the lower floors to help Mr. Hamilton get the third key. Finally, we'll all leave together."
While we may not be as strong as the monsters imprisoned in this hotel, we're certainly not the weakest, right?
"This is the best way, and I will stay to help."
Miss Cohens agreed with Miss Novare's idea, and Shad also felt it was a good idea, only that he needed to be mindful of his time.
“Ms. Gerd, it’s settled then. I’ll go find the gods to exchange the resident directory. You should prepare to leave together. Does anyone want to come with me to the first floor?”
But everyone, including Winnie, shook their heads:
"We'll see the gods on the 40th floor soon, there's no need to go now."
The candles that Shad used in his previous two visits were completely used up during his absence. Currently, the only lighting tools available are torches, golden candlesticks, and a new glass-cased portable kerosene lamp that the witches acquired during his absence.
Shad took the new lantern out, and Mia, of course, didn't want to stay. So Shad stuffed it into the inside pocket of his coat, so that if they encountered any danger, he could just pat it and it would become a toy.
The elevator was to the left of the safe room. With a rumbling and vibrating sound, it carried Shad to the first floor. Fortunately, this time the counter was not empty.
The bald, robed deity awaited Shad's arrival with a smile. Shad greeted him respectfully and then placed both keys on the counter.
“I want to do some transactions on the first floor. First, I want to check the resident directory to find out where Ms. Gerd’s mother is located.”
"no problem."
He didn't even take anything out to examine it before giving the answer directly:
"On the 40th floor, the woman is actually the one who caused the current chaos. What you need to do is solve the problem she caused."
"Since you knew so much, why didn't you say so when you asked us to deal with the trouble on the 40th floor?"
God was not angry at Shad's question, but He also did not answer it:
"So what are you going to do with the second key?"
“A friend of mine once visited here and said she entrusted you with the safekeeping of her cleaned moon beast eyes. This key is for the safekeeping fee.”
Last time, Shad mentioned Miss Bicester to God, but God didn't say what he had at the time.
But since it was Shad who suggested it this time, he reached under the counter and took out a silver gem, placing it on the countertop. The gem was shaped like an eye, and it looked very much like the yellow snake-eye gems on the island of Fatumunst.
Even untouched, the gem naturally radiates pure moonlight. The werewolf girl had indeed treated the eye; Shad could no longer detect any trace of contamination. The "Moon Beast" was an evil creature, but at this moment, the eye only contained obvious elements of miracles. Miss Bister's treatment was quite appropriate.
He reached out and picked up the gem to examine it, feeling his own moonlight resonating with the power of that eye.
God reminded him again:
"You can replace it with your own eyes, or you can hold it while meditating to feel the power. Of course, if you treat it as a disposable item, you can not only obtain a large amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time, but also 'see' what this eye has seen."
This was exactly what Shad wanted. The werewolf girl said that this moon beast had personally witnessed the primordial moon during the mythical era. As for the extra spirits, this was an unexpected bonus. If the total amount of spirits was enough for Shad to fully unlock the maze once, then even without seeking a third key, he could directly return to his own time.
"So how do I use this eyeball in one go? Does that also require a key?"
God smiled and shook his head:
"No need. Just point it at the silvery moon in the night sky, and then you can look at it. Note that it must be a real and natural moon."
The stars will fall at the time of their return, and there is no moon there; as for Whispering Hills, it is even less likely that there is a moon there, so Shad must first leave this place with the witches and return to the real world of the Fifth Age.
Whether it's day or night in the real world, and whether the moon can be seen if it's night, are all uncertain. But Shad didn't dwell on these questions too much. He could clearly feel that the "Moon Beast Eye" in his hand contained power that could allow him to advance further, and he planned to deal with it after finishing the matter on the 40th floor.
"I have found a way to break through the 40-layer entrance barrier, God, will you now accompany me?"
The middle-aged man behind the counter shook his head:
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you on the 40th floor. Don't be too surprised when you get there; you'll understand everything."
So Shad took the elevator back to the safe room on the 10th floor. It didn't take him too long to go back and forth, so the witches were still packing their luggage.
Most of the spellcasting materials, potions, and alchemical items that everyone still had were found in this inn. The "gold dust that can turn matter into gold" and the "golden apple that can heal all injuries" left behind by the werewolf girl were also still there.
The news brought back by Shad solidified Lady Gerd's resolve to treat this trip as her final adventure. While packing her bags to depart, Miss Noire raised her own question:
"Just how powerful is your mother? Based on your current description of her, I wouldn't be surprised if she were a demigod."
"The last time I saw my mother, she was at the twelfth rank, just like you. Although I haven't seen her since, she certainly won't advance to demigod. I know my mother; she's not that kind of pure person."
She sounds powerful, but that's only because she possesses a vast amount of knowledge. Her mother served as the Keeper of the Secrets at the Zalas Institute. She has extensive knowledge of the darker aspects of the Fourth Age, and is particularly skilled in the power of the soul.
Although she is my mother, I still want to remind everyone to be careful of her. Avoid direct confrontation with her unless absolutely necessary; she possesses various methods that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and she is extremely dangerous.
