"The others, including the two thirteenth-ring members of the academy, are in the other three directions of the island, dealing with the tentacles of the 'Evil of the Pantanal' that have already emerged from the ground."
The nun continued to explain the current situation. As she was speaking, a violent thunderbolt struck the west side of the island. Sister Defulin, who rarely spoke so much at once, added softly:
"This should be Mr. Sander, the thirteenth ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, 'Wrath of Thunder'."
"Can the evil in the Pantanal still be sealed?"
Xia De asked in a low voice. The nun's silver eye mask covered her eyes, and the lower half of her fair face did not show any obvious expression:
"It's difficult. The Church has done its best this time, but the weather, the sky, and even this land seem to be trying to release the evil of the warp. The Church may be able to buy some time, but even if we stop the Chosen One, it will still be difficult. However, as long as I am still on this lighthouse, even if the evil of Pantanal breaks free from the seal, it will still not be able to leave the Great Swamp."
He looked up at Shade, who also turned to look at Sister Develyn's eye mask. There was no frost on the silver eye mask, and the dense patterns and fine lines shone under the light of the lighthouse:
"If the most dangerous moment comes, I can sacrifice myself..."
"Sister, I'm still here and I don't need you."
Shade interrupted her, staring at the eyepatch:
"Just, no matter what happens later, please don't tell anyone else... There is an entrance to the space maze under this tower. When the time is right, you will know what to do."
The nun whispered:
"Hero of the Fire, go do what you want to do."
In the open space in the distance, the pillars of Stonehenge emitted a golden light. In the snowstorm, Iluna did not try to stop him, but watched Lakins Prisha rise high into the sky.
"here we go."
Shade said softly, standing in front of the fence at the top of the lighthouse far away from Stonehenge, staring at the snow and the pure white beam of light covering it:
"Knowledge and wisdom..."
The beam of light directly broke through the snow-covered clouds. The wind and snow swirled around the beam of light, and the figure of Lakins Prisha was inside the beam of light:
"I, Leggins Angeles Prisca, hereby declare..."
The grand voice could be clearly heard throughout the entire island. Light golden spots emanated from his body, and the sound of prayers, which overlapped with thousands of voices, came from nowhere.
Originally, the wind on the island was extremely violent, but at this moment, a gentle breeze blew, and the treetops of the dead trees rustled in the wind. The miracle element instantly spread to the surroundings, and even suppressed the whispering element brought by the "Evil Creature of the Pantanal".
It was as if transparent feathers were falling in the snow. At this moment, everyone in the Pantanal Lake and the surrounding areas subconsciously looked up at the sky. Thirteen golden light spots, with the pure white light column as the center, were clearly reflected on the dark clouds in the night sky. And Shade, who had a better vision, could see five fist-sized blue light balls floating above the head of Lakins Prisha, forming a circle that looked like an angel's halo.
The blue balls of light are exactly the five Wise Pyroxenes.
There was a noise coming from the dead woods, and Miss Sylvia and Miss Carina walked out together. Also appearing was Miss Pavlo who had been waiting for a long time, Old John, the owner of Tobesk's pawn shop who came from nowhere, and at least five ring wizards that Shad did not know.
There were quite a few people hiding in this dead forest, and none of them intended to stop the scene before their eyes:
“It’s finally started!”
No one took action, and everyone looked up at the sky. The light of enlightenment, representing knowledge and wisdom, had begun to radiate outwards, and even Sister Shade and Sister Defulin, who were outside, felt the gift of wisdom from the ancient god.
"Sister, what knowledge do you desire to gain through this enlightenment?"
Xia De asked the nun behind him.
"More clues to the split First Flame."
The nun replied softly.
The dazzling golden color burst out from the body of Legins Prisha in the air. The huge stone circle on the ground happened to be located in the center of the pure white light column. Under the baptism of the light, the golden light burst out from the thirteen stone pillars and surged upward, making the sky more surging.
He opened his arms in the air, and an ancient clay tablet flew from under his feet. It was an artifact representing the ancient god's secret-keeping mentor, and was a must-have item for the ceremony.
Under the cleansing of the power of time and space, the transparent wings summoned by the magic behind him are gradually turning into entities. At the same time, the five pyroxenes forming a circle above his head are spinning rapidly, and the azure light finally forms a complete blue halo.
The five-ring brass wheel on the back was spinning and expanding rapidly in the sky, and the bright aura echoed with the white light beams and golden streams.
The strange pattern formed by the thirteen light spots reflected on the dark clouds continued to descend along with the skylight. As the pure white light column gradually turned into a golden color, the thirteen light spot ritual array merged with the life ring behind him.
The brass wheel became blurred in the high-speed rotation, leaving only thirteen stable light spots. Then, in the almost chaotic brilliance, the thirteen light spots distributed in a circle gathered inward, and a new pattern was being formed.
It was a huge open book, with three dark golden light balls of different sizes distributed in a triangle on the surface of the book.
At this moment, it was as if a force from the ancient times came through, from a more ancient era, sweeping across the entire island in the middle of the lake with Stonehenge as the center. The strong aura of enlightenment brought the knowledge they needed to all those who successfully reached the depths of the Pantanal Swamp to "watch the ceremony".
Iluna, who was also standing in the stone circle and even enveloped by the golden light column that had not yet dissipated, frowned slightly:
"I see. This is the power of the chosen ones of knowledge and wisdom."
The five Wise Pyroxenes that belonged to her flew out of her pocket and also turned into five blue balls of light that stopped above her head. However, they were not in the shape of a horizontal halo, but in an upward convex arc from left to right.
The life ring behind her was recording new power. She was the closest person to Lakins Prisha. The skeleton horse that could only be called three times also became taller in the light, and the bone whistle was further repaired.
Carina Cavendish's dazzling red hair fluttered behind her. As her life ring spun, the last spiritual rune of her eleventh ring, Miracle Myth, appeared:
"I have finally reached the twelfth ring. I can finally move on to the next step."
She once worried that her limit was only the eleventh level and the eleventh ring.
Miss Sylvia, who had black shawl hair, did not gain any new strength. She suddenly widened her eyes and figured out something that had troubled her for a long time:
"I see. The chemical fiber that Shade mentioned can actually be made in this way! Shade called it... nylon?"
What she desired was not power, but knowledge that belonged to her alone.
In the shadows at the edge of the dead woods, Miss Pavo, with a huge silver book floating beside her, showed a rare expression of restless joy on her face:
"I finally understand. It turns out that the core power components of the differential machine can be made in this way."
She waved to the two professors Gao Huan beside her who were also bathed in the aura. One was a man and the other was a woman, both of whom had gray hair.
"Leave now."
"But, Ms. Pavo, the cooperation with the Pantanal Voodoo Society and the whereabouts of the fourth chosen one..."
The old man in the black hat asked hesitantly. Miss Pavlo didn't care at all. She closed the big silver book with a snap:
"These lunatics will cause big trouble next. My goal has always been to provide this special enlightenment. According to probability calculations, the possibility of an accident next is almost 100%. Our goal has been achieved, so why should we stay? Don't be too greedy."
She led the ring wizards of the Truth Society and retreated directly, not caring at all that she was the second candidate.
And in the spreading light, only Old John noticed their departure.
In fact, it was Old John who arrived here first. He was wearing a brown wool vest and an ugly brown-red scarf. He stood on the treetops of the dead forest. He didn't pay attention to Miss Pavlo who he saw out of the corner of his eye. Instead, he looked up at the Chosen One in the air with a dazed look on his face:
"That's terrible, it looks like our predictions were correct..."
He did not leave. The old man, who drew inspiration from civilization, knew that he would be needed here in the future.
The ring magicians on the entire island have more or less gained some knowledge or inspiration from this spreading light mark. Sister Develyn, who was firmly sealed on the lighthouse, did not say what she had gained, but carefully felt the light mark on Shade's unusual life ring:
"Shad, what did you think of?"
The aura of the Chosen One's Ritual lingered as it passed by him, as if solidified, and was then captured by the spinning Life Ring. The brass-colored aura was spinning rapidly, and had almost turned into a chaotic light mark.
An extraordinary power was brewing at the top of this bright lighthouse. Shade looked at the fairy tale copied by the writer in his hand and said softly:
"The trial of the angel allowed me to touch the secret of the cherubim, so that I could complete the trial of the old gods; the trial of the old gods gave me the opportunity to touch the secret of eternal beauty, so that I could complete the trial of the keeper of secrets; the trial of the keeper of secrets made me know the secret of the angel's residence, and let me complete the trial of the angel."
After the light column dissipated, he looked at the figure of Lakins Prisha, who had two pure white wings behind him and was holding a clay tablet in his right hand. To be more precise, Shade was looking at the triangular pattern formed by the three dark golden light balls behind him:
"The twelve tests I went through were tests from three parties: God, the angels, and the Keeper of Secrets. They helped each other and complemented each other, just like... the water of wisdom, which is everlasting. The knowledge and wisdom that mortals crave must ultimately be obtained by themselves. So that's how it is. So this is the power of wisdom."
The parchment scroll written by the writer flew towards the rotating life ring in her hand. Dorothy's elegant letters jumped out from the pages one by one and entered the light trace of the life ring in the flowing light.
The enlightenment belonging to the Fourth Ring finally appeared.
