Chapter 2999 "Moon Sanctuary"
After a night's rest, Shad had completely returned to normal, or rather, just like his previous long periods of discomfort, he felt stronger once he returned to normal.
This is certainly not an illusion—
[Outsider, you have absorbed part of the essence of the "Moon of Madness", and your control over the power of the "Red Moon" has been further enhanced.]
[Outlander, your Enlightenment - [Flesh and Blood] Spirit Rune has been enhanced, and all magic effects related to it have been enhanced. The cost of all Transfiguration spells has been reduced, and the penalty for casting during Transfiguration has been reduced. ]
[Outsider, your magic "Body of Courage" has been enhanced, the body deformation effect is further strengthened, and the consumption is reduced. ]
The most important thing is not the enhancement of the effect of magic, but the improvement of control over the power of the red moon.
This certainly did not immediately turn Xia De's "Red Moon" spirit rune into a core spirit rune, but when he woke up in the hot spring this morning, he clearly felt that his control over the "Red Moon" had surpassed any non-core spirit rune.
This is a feeling that is hard to describe. He has now taken an important step. The Red Moon is breaking away from the Ring Warlock system and becoming a part of his instinct just like the Silver Moon.
The water splashed, and a hand stretched out from the gauze curtain grabbed the clothes on the snow. It was Shade's hand. The purple-eyed girl and the blonde writer probably wouldn't attend today's breakfast.
But it was not because they were too tired. The recovery function of the hot spring was still very effective. It was just that the girls from Tobesk did not want to face the teasing eyes of others, so they temporarily avoided them during breakfast.
No one at the table mentioned what happened after they left last night. When Shade returned to the boat and sat down, he discovered something else:
"Where's Lady Helena Carter?"
He didn't lose his memory last night. Of course he still remembered that after the two of them fell from the sky and created the hot spring, he seemed to have done something indecent to her.
"Don't look for her anymore. The teacher left at midnight yesterday. She said that although interfering with the events caused by the time rift would not have much impact, after all, the impact of the blood moon was much greater than hers, it would be better for a thirteen-ring warlock like her not to stay at different times for a long time."
The sullen red-haired girl said, not mentioning what Shade did last night.
"So you and her"
"Yes. But it was just a simple greeting. The teacher was probably busier than you last night. I mean, she spent most of the time talking to Miss Olanord."
The ancient witch with yellow hair and pointed ears smiled at Xia De:
"Both generations of librarians are equally outstanding. If the Sixth Era hadn't limited their abilities, they would have been able to go even further."
As for the appearance of the blood moon last night, it was just another random event that happened in the Vestal Forest in the unstable time. Looking at it in the best possible way, this was the worst event before the battle of Vestal Forest, and nothing more horrible would happen afterwards. Shade hoped so.
Because of Shad and the three ladies, the disaster last night that almost destroyed the city of Vesta seemed like just a special astronomical phenomenon. The only impact it left was to give people in the tavern more things to talk about.
Apart from the Witch Council, other organizations did not contribute at all, so if they wanted to know what happened last night, they could only seek answers from the witches. Before Shade returned to the Radiant Emissary this morning, inquiries from all over the place came in like snowflakes. But at least the red-haired girl was happy that no one had linked what happened last night to Saint Byron's thirteen-ring magic. People now just wanted to know what the "God Summoner" did last night.
Of course, Shade refused to answer this question. In his opinion, the most significant impact of last night's events was the silver hot spring created by the "fall of the blood moon". At the breakfast table, Shade also introduced the hot spring to the witches, saying that it now had the effects of "infinity", "removing curses", "curing diseases", "self-purification", etc.
The hot spring itself has a faint miraculous element, so ordinary people certainly cannot stay there for a long time, but for high-level witches, it is no problem to soak in it all day long.
"Before I left last night, I took some spring water and tested it with Grandma Cassandra."
Megan smiled and said to Shade:
"Once the spring water leaves the area, it will lose its effectiveness within half an hour, and its effect will gradually decrease over time. But if you soak in it frequently, it will definitely be able to maintain your skin and maintain your youthfulness. And soaking in it should speed up the recovery of the spirit."
"It's a pity that the hot spring cannot be moved. The fragments of the blood moon that formed the hot spring have merged with the land."
Bella held up the silver fork and said:
"But it's a good thing we can't move, otherwise it wouldn't be good no matter where we move to."
"You can move to Shade's house."
The red-haired Duchess suggested.
"Wouldn't that be like giving it to you?"
Xiwei asked back, and everyone laughed. In fact, Ajelina agreed with her aunt's idea. If the hot spring was in Shade's house, she would have a reason to visit often.
The witches have decided to build a permanent base around the hot spring, which is an important asset for the parliament. Xiwei proposed to name the area where the hot spring is located "Moon Sanctuary", and then asked Shade whether to build a small moon worship site around the hot spring.
"It's up to you to decide."
Xia De always felt that they were making fun of him.
Granny Cassandra reminded Shade only after the young girls and Shade finished their discussion:
"That hot spring was formed by the falling fragments of the purified blood moon. Although Megan, Audrey, and I have only just begun our research on this, I suspect that the spring water should be able to promote reproduction."
As soon as the words fell, the banquet hall in the cabin, which had been bustling just now, suddenly became dead silent. Everyone looked up at the gray-haired old witch, who met the gazes of the young witches:
"It has nothing to do with us. Once we choose this path, there is no turning back. I just want to remind Xia De to pay attention to this issue. Young people always ignore such things and only start to reflect on themselves when something really happens."
Only Grandma Cassandra had the right to say such things. Shad stroked the cat and smiled awkwardly, while Tifa keenly noticed that the Duchess's expression changed several times in a row.
So the head maid began to speculate about the story of Princess Leicia's arrival soon, and then she thought of herself and secretly glanced at Shade. Somehow, the loyal maid thought of the stories in the novels that the maids circulated privately, in which the maids had an affair with the male master and became pregnant.
The "Moon of Madness" that appeared across time and space was destined to be only a footnote before the Battle of Vesta Forest. Last night, when Shad, Luvia, and Dorothy were staying overnight in the hot springs, a small incident actually happened on the boat:
"It's a good thing you weren't on the ship last night. The Speaker came last night."
"what?"
Xia De raised his head and looked at Xi Wei, who was elegantly using a knife to cut the bacon on the plate in front of him:
"Miss Orlanod said that she might need the help of the Great Witch of the Moon. When the Speaker heard about this, he came with her."
He became more and more suspicious:
"You mean to say that the Great Witch of Time and Moon appeared on the ship last night when I was not here?"
"Yes, but they didn't see Miss Orlanod. Seeing that the matter was over, they asked about the process, then had a midnight snack, listened to our report and left. We said that no one knew what method the God Summoner used, but the 'Moon' seemed eager to meet you. I don't know if others have told you that the second-ranked Moon is a very aggressive witch."
Megan said with a smile, looking very much looking forward to Xia De really fighting with the twelfth-level witch.
Vanessa then added:
"The Speaker said that the thing sealed in the black mausoleum storage building found at the southern end of the Old Continent has been confirmed not to be the Doomsday Crack, but it seems to be an Unknown-level relic. They can't stay away from that place for the time being."
The little witch said and then laughed and teased:
"Why, are you sorry you didn't see them last night?"
"No, no, luckily I dodged it."
"Actually, even if you're on the boat, I can help you hide."
The blue-eyed boat girl pointed out:
"And I heard from the witches that you were almost seen by Adele Isabella after the Battle of Green Lake, but luckily you hid under their skirts."
"Cough cough!"
Xia De interrupted her hurriedly, and cheerful laughter rang out again in the banquet hall.
After a brief discussion about the hot springs, Shade told the breakfast table what he had learned from his investigation in 1821 last night.
He omitted the details about Professor Youke Wood and part of his conversation with the black-haired sorceress—the former was too dangerous and the latter was private—and focused on the tree where thousands of people were fishing.
Of course, he did not forget to mention the connection between the Bennet family and the "Cursed Tree". Flora also commented:
"What benefit did this family get from the tree? They were exploited so thoroughly."
She didn't really care that her uncle Anthony Winslet was still missing, but was thinking about the fact that the masked man with the Eight Rings was actually the owner of the hotel:
"We've been staying at the Accordion Inn for two months, and although I'm sure I was very careful, did he never notice that we were suspicious?"
"Flora, it's too late to say this now."
Miss Danister said seriously, and then asked Shade:
"We must get rid of the Bennet family before the final battle, Shad. Judging from the current situation, it's time to take action. Are you going to take action on Bennet first, or deal with the paradox bug first?"
