Chapter 3311 Sister Defulin's Confession
The use of the second key of "Tombstone Wasteland" was probably the most rewarding one in Shad's entire adventure.
The magics [Food of Fullness], [Seal of Eternal Fire], and [Body of Courage] have all been enhanced, and new magics [Kiss of Thirst], [Photosynthesis], and the spell [Pledge of Burning] have been added.
Even the overall gains after the adventure of some keys may not be as much as this time:
"In this way, even if I don't get the Miracle-Jealousy, the Time Key this time, I'd better not say such things."
Luvia, who was waiting for Shade to come back at home, waited for Shade and the cat to return in the living room of Room 2. She welcomed Shade with a hug. Of course, before Shade left, the Witch Queen had cast a spell to clean up all the kiss marks and perfume smells, so Luvia didn't know what Shade was doing a minute ago.
However, she found that Xia De seemed to have grown a little taller, but before she asked, she noticed that Xia De seemed to be in a daze:
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, sorry, nothing. I was trying to use my newfound skills to sense the locations of the remaining three split flames. But now I can't sense anything. Does this mean there are no flames near Tobesk?"
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked down, or more precisely, at the house itself. The girl with purple eyes did not notice this, she just breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm glad you're alright. It looks like we've gained quite a lot this time. So, was the adventure going smoothly?"
"Ah."
Xia De hugged his beloved girl again and took a deep breath, just like the witches often did to him:
"It went well. I met Miss Violet and learned the secret of the ancient giant kingdom. But that place is really smelly. I'd rather be at home."
"But I noticed that you don't have any smell. Did you clean it beforehand?"
The fortune teller said this with a smile, and Shade was embarrassed for a moment. Luvia obviously guessed that the ancient witches were not "honest".
Although it was almost time for the Prophet Association to go to work, Luvia still listened to Shade's story before leaving.
Luvia usually does not comment on Shade's time adventures until the past adventures have a big connection with the present story. Therefore, this time she just sighed about the story of "Human Pus" in the Second Age, and speculated with Shade about the connection between the ancient gods, the old gods, angels and artifacts, and finally teased the relationship between Shade and the ancient witch emperor.
"So how do you plan to prepare the three items needed to return to the world of the living?"
"As for the artifacts related to the ancient gods, I plan to ask Priest Augustus to find a solution. If the old priest can't produce them for the time being, I will go to Father John. He seems to be able to find anything. The heart of the living dead is more troublesome. Luvia, please write a letter to Iluna for me and ask Iluna to ask the Church of the Five Gods for it.
Whether it's in her name or mine, that's fine."
Luvia nodded slightly:
"Where's the beacon of return to the world of the living?"
"Mia will definitely follow me next time, so I need a living object - just give me one of your handkerchiefs."
The cat stood on the dining table and glanced at him, while the fortune teller smiled with satisfaction:
"Just go to the closet on the third floor and look for it yourself. I'll give you handkerchiefs, belts, hats, and even stockings. Whatever you want."
"No, a handkerchief will do."
Xia De gently rubbed the cat who was concentrating on licking the goat's milk:
"So when are you planning on going to Fatumonster Island this week? Now that the demon has just appeared, how about going after I have dealt with the demon?"
The demon appeared on Sunday, and Shade told Luvia about it last night. Luvia did not comment on the entanglement between Shade, the doctor and the demon, but she did not want Shade to look down on her:
"You are not afraid of demons, so why should I be? But I did not plan to go there right away these days. With Emilia's snake skin, I have made great progress in my research on the blank snake skin.
I plan to wait until the research is fruitful before taking the snake slough to Fatumonster Island. I will then find someone to experiment on the snake slough, but I haven’t decided who it will be.”
Hearing that Luvia was not going to leave immediately, Shade felt relieved. He had a feeling that something strange might happen on the island in the near future. After all, the prelude of fate had already begun, and the story was bound to happen.
Luvia went to work, and after seeing her off, Shad ran to the sacrificial site on the top of the mountains.
Stepping out of the huge underground oil painting of the Snake Heart Hospital in Middleburg, as soon as he saw the sacrificial site hidden by huge rocks, Shad felt that he had sensed the first fire.
There was a light snowfall on the mountain top today, and it looked like it had been snowing for a while. Except for the steps cleared by the nuns leading to the "Nun's Cemetery" below, the area around the sacrificial site was covered in silver again.
As for Sister Defulin, she was still in the underground sacrificial field, basically the same as when Shad left more than forty minutes ago, except that she was standing next to the brazier instead of kneeling this time, and she kept her head down and didn't turn around when she heard Shad's footsteps.
Xia De stood beside her and described his experience in the Tombstone Wasteland. The focus was of course what he had learned from Sister Beren. The enhancement of the [Eternal Fire Seal] and the acquisition of the [Burning Vow] were of course the main points. He even mentioned that Sister Beren blessed him with the power of fire so that he could fight the Giant King.
Sister Defulin didn't say a word the whole time, and only asked after Shade finished speaking:
"Haven't you learned the magic called 'Return of Embers'?"
This was a magic trick created by Sister Belen herself, used to guide the way home. Anyone with the [Guide] [Direction] spirit rune could learn it. Of course, Shad had not forgotten this, but since he did not need to use this magic trick this time, he did not take the initiative to mention it to Sister Belen.
"There is an upper limit to the soul capacity of a ring sorcerer, and there is also an upper limit to learning thaumaturgy spells and mastering knowledge. I don't need to learn everything."
He explained this, and then Shad felt that Sister Defulin seemed to raise her head slightly and "look" at him.
The nun's voice was still cold and emotionless:
"Most of the knowledge and power I taught you were passed down by previous generations of nuns. It doesn't matter."
Xia De did not respond to this question. There was no need to discuss this issue. If he thought he really needed the power of the past era, he would take the initiative to learn it:
"I don't know if you have received the news from the Witch Council. The devil appeared in the snowy mountains last Sunday. No, no, Sister, I don't need you to go and help for the time being. I just want to say that according to the unicorn I picked up, the devil has been on Fatumonster Island at least ten years ago.
It must have stayed on that remote island for some reason, so is it possible that it was also for the First Fire?"
But the nun disagreed:
"Except for a few demons related to fire, most of the ancient evil spirits cannot directly touch the flame of the primordial fire. The weapon demon appeared on the island, probably for the weapons."
"But it's definitely not the magic sword that appeared last month. It hasn't left the island since it found the magic sword. Could it be that it wants a weapon more powerful than the angel-level magic sword?"
All of this is just speculation. Now we have to wait until the unicorn recovers a little before we can try to find the devil.
However, regarding the possible existence of the first fire on the island, since Xia De now has an enhanced version of the [Eternal Fire Seal], he can naturally try to sense it.
He even hesitated whether to teach this lost secret method of ancient nuns to Sister Defulin, whose perception of the First Fire was even stronger than his. But before he hesitated and made a decision, he continued to talk about things like snake shedding, the chosen one, and the characters in the story.
After Shad finished telling the recent story on the island, Sister Develyn finally asked:
"Were you worried before that accepting the power of the nuns from the past would make me unhappy?"
Xia De secretly looked at her beautiful profile which seemed quite broken:
"No."
【lie.】
"She" said gently, and of course Shad knew it was a lie.
"lie."
The nun said softly, turning to face Shade with her side facing the brazier:
"This is not your fault, Hero of Fire."
His head was still slightly lowered, and his hands were placed together in front of him:
"Before you left, I told you that I have something to tell you after you come back. I have thought about many things around the end of the year. It was my behavior that made you hesitate to obtain more fire power.
This is my mistake. ”
Xia De blinked. He really didn't expect this sentence:
"No, this"
"I already know what you mean."
The nun paused for a moment:
"After you obtained the power of the Fire Seal from the Black Sand Pier, I developed the wrong emotions due to jealousy that shouldn't have existed, and that's why it affected you."
Xia De couldn't believe that she actually admitted it:
"That's okay. I mean, I shouldn't have."
"The hero who inherits the flame is not chosen by the nun who holds the flame, but by the primordial flame itself. You are the hero chosen by the flame, and I am only the nun who assists you in obtaining the power of the flame and helping you fulfill your heroic destiny. The fact that you can take over the flame is a favor given to me.
I shouldn't have been jealous or upset about you gaining fire powers. I'm sorry."
"Don't say that. I'm serious. Don't say that."
He stretched out his hands to grab the nun's arm, but immediately withdrew his hands. The nun said these words, which made the outsider feel quite uncomfortable:
"You are not a tool like that. We are moving forward together."
"Though many traditions have been lost, I know my responsibility. I am the shadow behind you, the sister who helps you to draw strength from the fire and ashes. I should not have such emotions."
