Although she almost fell into a coma the moment God opened the door and appeared, Miss Theresa still moved her lips to greet God.
Of course, Shade and Miss Violet did not forget this, and after greeting, Shade took off the water bag he brought with him. Because of the special nature of the water in the Lake of Cherubim, this water cannot be used to make toys. After the duel with the Cherubim, Shade filled the water bag with water. In order to prevent the amount from being insufficient, he brought all the lake water at this time:
"God, this is a sacrifice from the mortals Shad Hamilton, Violet Marshall and Therese Schultz. May wisdom flow like water."
The water bag was plugged, and the spell "Control Water Flow" drew the water out of the bag. Miss Violet and Miss Theresa, who were standing behind Shade, immediately looked over. Although Shade had explained the source of the water when they were climbing the tower, it was still the first time they had seen this offering.
Clearly, when in the Lake of Cherubim, the water was exactly the same as normal water flow. But now, it was pulled by the spell and turned into water snakes flowing out, shining brightly on the depressing and dark island in the middle of the lake, and gradually assimilated by the light of the god, showing a holy luster.
Shad only drew out the first stream of water, and then he no longer controlled the water. The gods let all the water from the Lake of Cherubim flow out and flow around her like a holy ribbon.
After a while, the flowing water contracted inward, leaving silver marks on the god's robe.
The robe was originally blue, almost white, and now with the addition of the silver mark it didn't seem out of place at all:
"It's amazing. I knew you could complete the second trial, but I didn't expect you to be even better than I thought. The water from the lake there is not something you can get easily."
The god spoke softly in front of the wooden house, and Xia De nodded slightly to show humility:
"It's nothing. God, there is a second offering here."
God took away all the water from the Lake of Cherubim. Although Shad had expected this, he was still a little sad. Without the water from the Lake of Cherubim, he would have to get a special bow or crossbow to be qualified to shoot the Arrow of Knowledge of Aikenora. Although in addition to relics, powerful alchemical items also meet the requirements, in this way, after one arrow, the alchemical bow or crossbow will be scrapped immediately.
"No, I can't think about the unshot arrow anymore, or I'm going to feel Little Mia crawling on me again."
How many this time
she asked with a smile.
Next, Shade offered the clean water that the witches had obtained to soak the Water Cube, and the water flowed out like a long snake. But this time, the god did not imprint the water on his robe, but let the water flow into a ball, and finally condensed into a pearl, which was dotted on the hem of the robe:
"The spring water that soaks the Water Cube, even though that relic appeared on the island, the fact that you were able to draw water from it is enough to prove that you are qualified to pass my test."
The god paused and looked at the mortals in front of him:
"Since there are two sacrifices, you deserve more gifts. Last time I gave you blessings, this time..."
She looked at Miss Theresa. The witch with glasses had her eyes half closed at this time, but she could still feel that God's gaze was hotter than the sun at noon in summer. Her soul trembled because of this brief gaze, but fortunately her eyes moved away almost immediately.
At the same time, the Night Watchman flew out of the witch's hand and fell into the hands of the god. As the hand emitting soft white light gently stroked the sword hanging in the air, the sword body did not glow, but my heart was clear, and the runes of the sword that slashed the devil flashed a quiet light.
"I will grant your weapons greater power."
Neither Shade nor Miss Violet said anything. The blessing bestowed by the gods certainly did not leave them with any choice.
"This blessing is only effective for the three of you. Drop your blood on the sword and soak the runes completely. This sword will be specifically targeted at you and add the characteristic of 'If you drink clean water before fighting with the sword, your physical strength will be constantly restored for a period of time'."
"Thank you for your generosity."
The three of them spoke together, Miss Theresa was a little slow because of her bad mental state.
The sword that was touched by the god flew from the god to the three people, and then stabbed into the soil in front of Shade. Shade did not have time to think about the continuity of time and space. He did not have much time left:
"God, the three trials we promised have come to an end. We long for your wisdom. Please tell us the content of the final trial."
He bowed slightly again.
"What kind of trial do you desire?"
She did not directly give the content of the test, but asked with a smile, which was very gentle.
Xia De pursed his lips:
"We come here to seek wisdom. The test given by the wise must naturally end with wisdom."
He was trying his best to avoid a real fight, while the Witch Queen Miss Violet was looking at the back of the man who was negotiating with the gods, and her desire to not let him leave became stronger and stronger.
Shen chuckled and nodded. Behind her oddly shaped glasses, she completely understood what Shade was thinking:
"Well, the final test is to answer a question that no mortal can answer."
Shade seemed to have heard this statement once:
"Please ask."
He took a step back and stood with the witches again. The three heard the voice of God, the ancient one describing an even older story:
"In the beginning, when the world was created, there were thirteen original gods. Mortals called them the Ancient Gods. The ancient gods who were in charge of wisdom and knowledge were the mentors of all intelligent creatures and the keepers of unspeakable secrets."
Shade listened carefully. Miss Violet lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Miss Theresa closed her eyes and breathed weakly. Her mind was in the narration of the gods, touching the secrets of ancient myths. If Miss Violet was not protecting her, she might lose control at any time due to mental instability.
"Even a wise god needs a strong helper. So the ancient god plucked pure white clouds from the sky, plucked immortal roses from the abyss, and obtained clean salt water from the bottom of the sea to create his first angels."
The uncertain wise man sighed softly, then asked:
"The question is, how many cherubim did the ancient god create? Where are these angels now?"
Xia De was startled, and then he felt someone pulling him from behind. He felt a warm breath, and someone was talking in his ear. This made Xia De a little uneasy, because normally when someone was talking in his ear, he couldn't feel the perfume and the heat of the breath:
"Aren't there five Cherubim? In rituals such as 'Wisdom of Dusk' and 'Fountain of Inspiration', the runes corresponding to the five Cherubim need to be written in the ritual array. But is the answer to this question so simple?"
Violet’s voice was very soft, and the air she exhaled made Shade’s ears itch:
"Besides, where are the Cherubim? Can we really answer this question?"
"Um... ... "
Shade pursed his lips and ignored Miss Violet's words, because the image of Father Augustus suddenly jumped out:
"The Ancient God Secret Keeper created a total of nine cherubim in the earliest era."
"Um?"
The witch queen's hand that was holding Shade's clothes suddenly tightened, almost tearing Shade's clothes to pieces. But before Shade's clothes were destroyed, the weak Miss Theresa placed her hand on hers:
"Trust him."
The young witch whispered vaguely.
Shade is still answering:
"As for where... When the Secret Keeper left, four cherubim also left with the Ancient God, and five angels stayed in the mortal world, which resulted in the preservation of the cherubim's bloodline power. I cannot tell you their more specific location, but I only know that the first cherubim, Cherubim, is now in the middle of the Central Continent, near the human settlement where the 'Lady of the Lake' is rumored to be. She is hidden in a special space, but many mortals have visited her before."
The rumor of the "Lady of the Lake" existed in the Fifth Epoch, which Shade knew when he investigated. He then stated the requirements for meeting the "Lady of the Lake", which were all summarized by Professor Drake.
God nodded slightly:
"That's enough. It's quite unexpected. I only needed you to tell me the number of angels who stayed and left, but I didn't expect you to know the location of one of them. This is not knowledge that any mortal can know, whether it's the number of nine or the whereabouts of the cherubim."
She did not ask Shad for the source of his information, and Shad would not say, "No one knows more about angels than Father Augustus."
Seeing the god nod in acknowledgement of his answer, Shade was relieved. This was the third time he had opened this key. If he failed to complete the trial and give an answer this time, he would probably have to face the failure of the first time key.
"Thank you, Father Augustus."
He whispered in his heart that Priest Augustus had only mentioned it casually, but he had not expected it to have such a big effect.
"So, we have completed your trial?"
He asked tentatively.
"Yes, according to the original agreement, you can make a wish and seek wisdom from me that is not mortal."
God smiled gently, and Shade also smiled:
"It is like this. Before we make a wish, do you know why the five cherubim stay in the mortal world?"
He has not forgotten the question of the final trial of the "Lady of the Lake". Since the clues left by the "Trial of the Lady of the Lake" allowed Shade to learn the answer to the "Trial of God", perhaps the latter could help the former in turn.
"I know, but I can't tell you the answer."
The robed god was still gentle. Shade pursed his lips. Although he was a little disappointed, he could accept this result.
The god continued:
"However, I can tell you another answer. Your sealed power can be unsealed if it comes into contact with a moon of a high enough level."
Xia De looked up at her in surprise, but immediately lowered his head:
"I see, thanks for your help."
Then he turned to look at Miss Violet who was pulling at his shirt.
"Ma'am, it's your turn. The three trials are over. Please make a wish."
The Witch Queen didn't look very happy. When Xia De turned around, her golden eyes met his. Xia De could clearly see the deep disappointment in her eyes, which was a bit like the expression of Mia when she didn't have a midnight snack.
