Chapter 3316 The Witch Holding the Wine Glass
Chapter 3313 The Witch Holding the Wine Glass
The high-hot metal began to smoke when it encountered the cold fog. Xia De leaned over and watched the priest deal with the metal that gradually changed from black to silver. He felt that he understood:
"So, although the Tombstone Wasteland is the kingdom of the old god, in fact, he controls the kingdom by the power of the ancient god, not as much as possible as the "Eternal Night City" I have been to. By the way, priests, since the old god has left in the fifth era, does the 'Tombstone Wasteland' still exist now? Or has it disappeared with the old god?"
Except for the academy, all other parts of "Eternal Night City" have disappeared in today's era.
"I can't give an answer to this question, but it's likely to disappear. That wasteland no longer has meaning, and can only be regarded as part of the path to the dead in the first era. You know what death is in this era, and the departure of the soul no longer requires passing through the tombstone wasteland."
After the cold mist dissipated, the priest took out the piece of metal with a metal clip. After testing the temperature with the back of his fingers, he threw it to Xia De:
"Help me try its strength and try to pinch it and deform it."
This is an alloy, and Xia De didn't know its specific composition, but the bright silver metal was quite light. So he tried to exert force slowly and found that its strength was indeed very high. Then he increased his strength, so Xia De easily pinched a fingerprint on the metal surface.
Priest Augustus was quite surprised:
"Your power has been improved again? This Angel I alloy is very resistant to pure physical forces. I originally wanted you to use that special flame to help shape it."
Xia De smiled and bent his right arm:
"When time adventures, I came into contact with the descendants of the ancient Titans, so I gained some results."
The priest was amazed by this and then left Xiade as a useful laborer to deal with this batch of metals. The "angel alloy" is similar to the "sacred metal" currently produced by the Five Gods Church, and can have a powerful killing effect on specific types of enemies.
However, the priest's alloys have stronger effects and have special effects against undead creatures. After entering the Central Ring, the old priest began to involve the field of alchemy in addition to potions. According to the current trend, Xia De suspected that he could cast the legendary "angel holy sword" after entering the High Ring.
As a reward for Shade's help, the priest promised to prepare symbols related to the ancient god, which was not difficult for him:
"Since I talk about the angel, let me tell you about the fourth angel of the god of death, the requiem angel. The first angel is the angel who proclaims death, declares death; the second angel is the angel who leads the way, and guides the way back; the third angel is the angel who judges the angel, but it does not judge good or evil, but only records, and occasionally sends people to the wall of the unbeliever; the fourth angel is the angel who we are going to talk about, and its main job is to bring peace to the dead souls on the last road, rather than guarding the tombstone wasteland.
These are the four most important angels under the seat of [Ancient God of Death]. If you can find the temple of the ancient god one day, then the four largest angel statues among the murals or stone sculptures must be them."
Xia De swung the sledgehammer as the priests told him to hit the metal, while the priests arranged the etching solution aside:
"I don't have many ancient memories, but what is certain is that after the ancient gods left, these four angels gradually disappeared. I don't know the whereabouts of the angels, just as I can't understand what the ancient gods' "departure" refers to, and whether they will return. But I'm sure they do not reside in the material world like the wise angels you know.
But the Requiem Angel left behind a holy book, "The Holy Book of Eternal Sleeping", which was written in the Second Era and recorded a series of ancient secrets and magical secrets, but unfortunately I was lost."
"I would be even more surprised if I wasn't lost."
Xia De, who was swinging the sledgehammer, said, and the priest laughed:
"What I want to tell you is that I know some contents of "The Holy Book of Eternal Sleeping". When you return to the cottage in the [Tombstone Wasteland] next time, you can try to say such content in it."
The old man cleared his throat and said in a strange language that was enough to shake the spirit and elements:
"What the dead need is not only the rest of precision like clocks and gears, but they also desire mercy - this is the sentence on the title page of the "Sleeping Book". Try it. Although I don't know the whereabouts of the angel, I guess this sentence will have effect."
The morning courses for students at St. Byrence College generally lasted until 11:45, so Xia De left until 11:20 and arrived at the library at around 11:30.
Denist had already prepared lunch in his office. When the two of them had almost the same lunch, the pointed-eared girl who rushed from the school cafeteria appeared:
"Good afternoon, Miss Denister, can I go to Shade and I?"
She also told Xia De that Emilia had to come back before 8 o'clock tonight, and the administrator watched the two of them leave holding hands. So she thought to herself whether she should also do something related to the island, in addition to preparing to reopen the gate of the Moon Library recently.
When Shade and Emilia appeared on Victoria Street, they unexpectedly found that there were fewer people in the city today than usual. Then they bought the morning newspaper that was not sold cheaply from the newspaper boy. Only then did they know that the ship of Carsonrick's delegation docked at the dock of Shilun City this afternoon, and the people in the city went to watch the fun.
"Will Princess Margaret come to this island?"
Emilia then asked Xia De curiously, she still remembered the princess of the South.
The members of the Anjou royal family are much less than those of the Cavendish royal family. Although this talk is likely to have no result, it is the last formal talk before the war, so both countries will send very important representatives. Currently, Lessia is assigned to the military logistics department, so De La Reion's representative is not Lessia. As for the United Kingdom of Carsonrick-
"Silvia said that this time it was Samuel Anjou, the kingdom's eldest prince."
Xia De held Emilia's hand, but the two of them didn't want to join in the fun at the dock:
"Some time ago, although Margaret performed well and found his illegitimate children, people always think that sending a prince is more tough than sending a prince to the outside world."
"So neither of the parties to this negotiation have our acquaintances, right?"
The elf girl asked again, and Xia De nodded with a smile:
"Isn't it better to have no acquaintances? After all, everyone knows that this meeting will not have any results."
The main location of the negotiations between the two countries is Shilun City, so for the Fatus people who are preparing for the festival "next door", the arrival of representatives Carsonrick and De La Reion is not very important.
Miss Reinhardt planned to visit her classmate, the Marquis de Marquis, tonight, but she was still in the town during the day.
After arriving at the Snow Mountain Hall, the unicorn Ellie immediately met when they saw the two of them appear. It looked much more energetic than yesterday. When Shade and Emilia saw it, it left its nest and basked in the sun at the door.
Xiaomia didn't come with her today, so Xia De could get closer to touch its soft hair. The pure white holy beast certainly remembered the apples provided by Xia De, so she was happy to get close to him. However, I don't know if it was because Xia De gave the apples when he was very hungry. The girls in charge of taking care of the unicorn said that it had to have apples for five meals a day to be happy.
"It's really strange. The books I have read have always said that unicorns don't like to get close to men, especially adult men."
The witch beside him was still muttering there, but he also felt that Xia De and the unicorn were quite pleasing to the eye.
Emilia continued to treat the unicorn's injuries, and the witch standing aside mentioned something else to Xia De:
"Don't forget that you're going to the banquet with me tomorrow night. The last time we played, it was the price I lost to you."
This refers to the fact that Miss Owl helped Shade cheat and won the victory.
"Also, the ceremony of the Crown of Glory has been almost ready. My grandfather said that the ceremony will be held on weekends. If I pass the ceremony successfully and climb to the top of the mountain, I will officially obtain the qualification to host the All Spirit Day. The Crown of Glory cannot be helped by anyone else, so you won't use it at that time."
After saying that, he grabbed his left arm with his right hand and looked at Xia De with a slanted eye. Xia De immediately said:
"I will definitely come then, but should I say goodbye to you at the beginning or wait for you at the end?"
The witch smiled slightly:
"Can you say goodbye to me at the starting point and wait for me at the end?"
"certainly."
Now the magic sword, which was sealed by the priest and doctor, was left on Victoria Street by Shade. This Tuesday afternoon, the island was calm, with demons, magic swords, ancient evil things, relics, cultists, nothing. For the town, there was only the sound of unicorns who had slightly recovered their spirits and Miss Larson fighting.
While Emilia and other girls were taking care of the unicorn Ellie, Miss Reinhardt even invited Shade to have two glasses of wine together in the banquet hall in the Snow Mountain Hall. She held the wine glass and took Shade to walk by the wall, telling him the origin and history of every decorative oil painting and tapestries in the banquet hall:
"When I was young, I often played here with my grandfather, and sometimes I really sigh that time flies."
The warm winter sun shone through the stained glass on her platinum hair. The sunlight shone on her face from the side, making the high nose bridge and slightly trembling eyelashes become more hazy and real in Xia De's eyes.
