"Look, in the end you still shed..."
Shade was kissed with tears.
Then, hugged by Luvia beside the bed, Shad whispered to her about the battle that took place two nights ago in the depths of the swamp far away from the civilized world. He talked about how he was inspired by the "cherubim" and understood the power of the chosen one who could record knowledge and wisdom. Luvia didn't think as much as Shad did, and just thought that the three stone tablets played a role in it.
"The qualification of the fourth chosen one is completely in our hands... We will discuss who will be the chosen one after Yin Luna comes back. Xia De, you really changed everything."
"Isn't the plan going smoothly? Moreover, I have even been promoted to the fifth ring. Now I am one ring higher than you."
Shade said with a smile, and Luvia let go of Shade:
"I'm also in the middle ring. After touching this arrow, the fourth ring spirit rune meets the requirements. I asked Dorothy to help hold the promotion ceremony on Friday."
"So tell me, what's going on in the Pantanal?"
Shade held Luvia's hand, and the purple-eyed girl also held his hand tightly:
"Before that, please promise me that no matter what else you need to deal with, you will not leave the manor until tomorrow morning. You need to rest well. I will ask for leave for the meeting with Dr. Schneider this afternoon. After all, it is just a notification of the exam time."
She spoke to Xia De almost in an order. Xia De knew that she was concerned about his health, so he nodded in agreement:
"But I must leave tomorrow. Someone is still waiting for news from me."
This refers to desire. He is sure that the other party is still waiting in the lake for the essential oil in the pink perfume bottle.
"in addition... ... "
Luvia sat down again and bit her lip:
"I'll come see you again tonight and check your body."
Seeing Xia De looking at her in surprise, the girl with purple eyes explained:
"This is a reward for you. When I hugged you just now, I didn't smell the perfume of the maid on you. I will pretend that the five demigod witches don't exist. After all, they are not of the same generation as us. But Miss Servet..."
She pouted slightly. After confirming Xia De's safety, she was in a good mood. This little gesture had never happened before:
“For me, it’s very dangerous.”
There was no smell of perfume because Tifa knew Luvia would show up soon and the maid never made any mistakes.
Sister Devilin informed Luvia of the situation after the Pantanal War. After consuming the split flames of the "Original Fire", the nun gained new power. She put a small cluster of flames in a bottle and gave it to Luvia. As long as Luvia put the cluster of flames in the brazier, she could talk to Sister Devilin in the flames.
The situation in the Great Swamp was not completely calmed down as Shade had thought. Even though the light points emitted by the witches when they left soothed the land, the fire started by Sister Develyn still burned for a full twenty hours in the lakeside area surrounding Lake Pantanal before it was extinguished. The First Fire turned the "Evil of the Pantanal" into firewood, but the power of the evil still seriously polluted the island in the center of Lake Pantanal and the nearby land, forcing the church to temporarily evacuate everyone from the island in the center of the lake.
Fortunately, only the area around Lake Pantanal is seriously polluted, while other areas of the Everglades have returned to normal.
Of course, what the Five Gods Church and the three major academies care about most now is not how to deal with the problem of non-proliferation of pollution in the deep swamps where no one has ever set foot, but what they care about is the chosen ones.
With Luvia's consent, Yin Luna and Sister Defulin both admitted to the church that the "God Caller" had become the "Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom" to prevent the church from thinking of other things. Under the joint investigation of the church and the three major colleges, the five witches who appeared at the end have been confirmed to not belong to this era. Although the specific identities of all of them have not been figured out, it is certain that they all came from the Fifth Era.
Whether it is the church or the academy, they are completely unable to imagine what kind of power can summon the strong men of the Fifth Epoch to the present. After all, Shade's sublimation words are completely different from the sublimation words of normal ring magicians.
"The nun said that the Witch Council recognized the five ladies, but they don't know who the God-Caller was. Miss Aurora, Miss Carina, and Miss Sylvia should all know what you did."
Luvia said to Shade, who shook his head indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. These three ladies are all trustworthy people. Moreover, I will give them a gift, a very precious gift."
"The gift you're talking about isn't yourself, is it?"
"Oh, Luvia, what makes you think that? It's some other gift."
He stopped talking because Luvia teased:
"In fact, if you can make more witches and let an ancient organization like the Witch Council assist you without hesitation, our cause will be more successful... You don't have to explain to me. I can see what those witches think of you."
Purple eyes looked at Xia De:
"You just have to ensure your own safety. No matter what, you have to return to me safely."
Xia De nodded:
"In fact, as long as you kidnap Mia, I will definitely crawl back even if I fall to my death."
Luvia smiled and picked up the reluctant cat:
"Sister Defulin said that the church believes that the 'Godcaller' may be the chosen one of time, and therefore can call upon power from the past."
“But I can’t be the chosen one.”
He took the arrow from the bedside table and stabbed it into his arm:
"You see, I have not become the chosen one of knowledge and wisdom."
With a little regret in his heart, he looked at Luvia with the arrow in his hand. Her purple eyes met his, but he shook his head slightly.
"No, right now, I'm not planning on being part of an epic."
In fact, Shad originally intended to give the qualification to Luvia. Although he felt a little regretful, he also roughly understood Luvia's thoughts. So, he just pierced Luvia's white arm with an arrow. After the bleeding point appeared, a slight enlightenment element was enriched, which brought a fatal crisis to the fortune teller.
This is a passive magic that can be activated or not. Once activated, any fatal crisis can be sensed a few seconds in advance. This is not a strong perception, but a passive divination effect. The disadvantage is that the touch time of inspiration is too sensitive, which is not a good thing for the ring magician.
Although the evil creatures in Pantanal were defeated, the abnormal snow covering the western part of the old continent did not stop. Although the blizzard and heavy snow have weakened to light snow, this abnormal snowfall will still make this winter more difficult to endure. The problems caused by the snowstorm have had a great impact on the lives of ordinary people. Whether it is Carsenrick or Delarion, the biggest trouble this winter is to deal with this snow.
If not handled properly, even this spring's sowing may be delayed by abnormal weather.
But Luvia thought this was the best possible situation.
For the Ringwitch Organization that participated in the Pantanal War, the Church and the Academy have more new questions. The attitude of the Witch Council can only be known after Miss Carina returns. The Truth Society withdrew in the middle of the battle, and the Pantanal Voodoo Society almost all fell into the hands of the Church.
The biggest culprit behind all this, the "Apna Library" that almost dominated all of this behind the scenes, successfully learned about the "library that records all knowledge" on the island. Sister Defulin informed Luvia of the relevant news, and Luvia smiled and said:
"The revelation they received was 'the missing third of the moon', but it is clear that this riddle is meaningless and no one knows what it represents. It will probably take several hundred years for the Apna Library to gain more."
But Shade probably guessed the meaning.
The most surprising information that Luvia told Shad was the whereabouts of Sir Laikins Prisha, the protagonist of the Pantanal War.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, he was not dead. The church found him in the fire while cleaning up the battlefield. Although the knight was seriously injured and severely weakened by the evil creature as a sacrifice, he was still alive. It was a pity that he was completely crazy. The close contact with the "evil of Pantanal" caused irreversible damage to his mind and soul. If it weren't for his angel blood, he would probably have turned directly into a monster with mushrooms and vines growing on his body.
Now the knight has been taken away by the Church of Nature and will be temporarily detained in the Church of Nature. Although it is impossible to obtain any information from him, he was once the Chosen One after all, and the Church does not mind wasting food by keeping him.
"That's good. He knows that I, the doctor, and Margaret are ring sorcerers. This way, the information won't be leaked."
Shade sighed slightly and did not comment on the fate of this crazy seeker of knowledge. He was just very curious about what Miss Pavo got from that enlightenment that made her take all the ring sorcerers of the Truth Society out in the middle of the battle.
Sister Defulin was still in the Great Swamp, leading the nuns of the spiritual order to cooperate with the Church of Nature to heal the wounds of the swamp, so Luvia only knew these things for the time being, but she would keep in touch with Sister Defulin. Shade was also happy to hand this matter over to Luvia, and it was just right for Luvia to be in charge of the contact with the nuns.
Because there was a meeting in the afternoon, after accompanying Shade to have lunch, Luvia left Miss Carina's manor and returned to the city in a carriage in the snow.
Still a little weak, Shad waved goodbye to the carriage at the gate of the manor and watched it pass through the courtyard. Tifa stood behind him and watched Shad waving, and suddenly smiled.
