Xia De asked Yin Luna who was sitting outside the desk very seriously:
"What happened on the island in the middle of Green Lake was a little unexpected. Not only did the thirteenth ring warlock appear, but the fog also hindered the use of most long-range magic. As you know, the magic I use most often is the long-range attack Silver Moon Slash. But if it can be used for large-scale attacks like your magic, then even if it can't be seen in the fog, it can still form an effective deterrent, and you don't even need to aim. My promotion speed was too fast, and I really lacked the ability to attack in a large area and the means to deal with giant enemies."
As he spoke, he gestured as well.
Yin Luna sat across from the desk and listened to Xia De's request. She was very happy that Xia De came to her for help:
"It's actually very simple for you. The entire casting process I summarized contains three key points:
First, you must be able to accurately control the release of spirit and energy. Otherwise, if the huge energy is not restrained, it will lead to serious consequences. In the first few months of this year, I used the empty bottle fruit to practice controlling the power of the sun in my hands, which improved my skills in precise control. You should have no problem either. Since you can develop so many forms of the basic "Moonlight Slash", it means that your control over moonlight energy is stronger than most people. "
Xia De nodded:
"So what are the other two points?"
"Second, you must have a large enough spirit to support the casting of spells. This needs no further explanation. A huge energy attack means more consumption. But you and I are both people who are born with a higher limit of spirit than ordinary ring sorcerers, so there is no need to consider this."
Xia De nodded. Now that he had been promoted to the sixth ring, although his spiritual capacity was not as exaggerated as his physical strength, it was not necessarily less than that of Yin Luna who was at the seventh ring.
"The last point is that no matter it is a fireball, wind blade, light beam or energy ball, ring sorcerers all know some means of releasing energy. But if you want to make it bigger, you have to use different methods. My method is to sense the majestic power of the earth. When I stood upside down on the ground, as if I was holding up the earth, I understood how to use my hands to bear a stronger force."
She stretched out her hand, and Xia De naturally held it. Yin Luna blushed, and then controlled her hand to glow. In fact, this was useless. She just wanted Xia De to think that he could feel something by holding her hand:
"You have also felt those greater powers, and your understanding of the earth is no less than mine. What you lack is just trying and a moment of understanding, just like how you have developed new forms of Moonlight Slash several times."
Of course, she also reminded:
"If you want to practice, don't do it at home. If you fail, it's ok, but if you succeed, the roof over your house will be gone."
"I understand that."
Xia De smiled and nodded:
"Feel the mighty power of the earth... Stand upside down and hold up the earth... Maybe you can ask the guardian for help."
“This is just my approach and may not be suitable for everyone.”
Yin Luna reminded, and then gave her own advice:
"Why don't you look at the moon more often at night and feel the heaviness of the moon in the night sky. The power of the sun and the earth is opposite to each other but can transform into each other, so it suits me. Xia De, you should look at the moon more often."
This is indeed useful advice, but it also means that it takes a long time to learn and understand.
Seeing Xia De looking thoughtful, Yin Luna did not immediately let go of Xia De's hand, but continued to ask:
"Today is Wednesday, how are you going to spend it?"
"I originally wanted to go to the Green Lake area to investigate the progress of the meeting and track down the whereabouts of a group of tomb robbers. But I met the Mirror Man yesterday, and I got new information from the pharmacist. I want to talk to Miss Carina."
"Let's go together."
Yin Luna smiled and said:
"It just so happens that I've taken the whole morning off, and I also have to give Miss Carina the book report she asked me to write. Do you know where she is now? At the Jodel Palace? Or at her manor?"
"I don't know, but I can go ask."
After tidying up at home and leaving Mia, who was full and unwilling to move, to look after the house, Shade went to the flower shop on Silver Cross Avenue with Yin Luna. He asked Ajelina's maid in the flower shop to help see if Miss Carina was at Yodel Palace this morning. Then, at around ten o'clock, Shade and Yin Luna boarded an unmarked carriage at the door of the flower shop and met Miss Carina and Tifa in the carriage.
"It's rare to see you two together."
The red-haired Duchess said jokingly as the carriage slowly moved forward. Yin Luna handed in her reading report first. Miss Carina flipped through a few pages and then handed it to Tifa to put away first.
"It just happens that I have something important to say about the Green Lake area. Yesterday, I went to the Central Island with the pharmacist lady again, and then I encountered some accidents."
Shade recounted all of his experiences on the island yesterday. When the witch heard the news about the two thirteenth ring sorcerers, her expression became serious. After Shade finished speaking, she asked with concern:
"Are you okay? I didn't expect you would run into the Mirror Man. If I had known, I would..."
"No, you should still go to the Green Lake area as planned. There is no need to go early. I will take care of these things."
Xia De shook his head to stop her from speaking:
"The key point now is that we have only just uncovered a little bit of the Edwards family's affairs, and we have already involved two Thirteenth Rings, one of whom is even a Thirteenth Ring Fortuneteller. I bet that there is a high probability that the other party still exists in some way. This means that the degree of danger this time will not be weaker than any previous time."
"The more you say that, the more worried I am. How about letting Tifa take people to Green Lake first? She will be able to hold a ceremony to advance to the eighth level this week. With the blessing from Miss Feliana, she can be promoted to the next level at any time. Her power is much stronger than that of your pharmacist."
Even when talking about serious matters, she never forgets to step on her colleagues in parliament.
"In that case, why don't I apply to go to Green Lake now."
Yin Luna also said that although Xia De downplayed it, they all knew how dangerous it was when Xia De faced the Mirror Man.
"Tifa is going to level eight? Oh, congratulations."
Shad said to Tifa with a smile, and the black-haired maid nodded reservedly and smiled at him as well.
"But there's no need, Yin Luna, Jialina, you don't have to worry about me. If it's really dangerous, I can actually use the maze to come back directly. Although the island hinders the power of space, it can't hinder me. Jialina, I hope you can inform the parliament of the danger in the Green Lake area, just as Yin Luna will inform the church. Since the hidden guy wants to act secretly, let everyone know his existence."
The witch nodded:
"Although this will draw people's attention to Green Lake in advance, it will be more dangerous for the guys in hiding. No problem, the thirteen-ring fortune teller from two hundred years ago is indeed worthy of our vigilance."
"Also I have another question. The pharmacist lady told me her name is Megan, not Audrey."
Shade said again, and this time it was Tifa who answered:
"The great witch of knowledge and wisdom often uses the alias Megan. The few letters and packages she sent to the young lady also used Megan Edwards as her name."
"But judging from the situation at the time, it didn't seem like she was using a pseudonym... I have some guesses about this witch, but they still need to be verified."
"Let's put the matter of the witch aside for now. We are more worried about you. The Thirteen Rings are no joke. Unless you use the strength you have in every final battle, you can't beat any Thirteen Rings now."
Yin Luna was still worried, and the witch took Xia De's hand and placed it on his knee:
"Yin Luna, Xia De knows what he is going to do. Since he told us to rest assured, we can rest assured."
"We can't just leave the matter of the Hidden Mirror Man alone. Let the local church deal with him first. If the church can drive him away or even capture him, that's even better. If not... with half of the Witch Council members, plus me, Yin Luna, and Sister Daveline, I don't believe that even if he is a thirteenth-ringed warrior, he can still gain the upper hand without using the Word of Ascension. We can't leave him until the final decisive battle. Although I don't even know what I'm going to be against this time, I can't let a thirteenth-ringed warlock get too involved."
The witch and the seventeen-year-old girl both nodded:
"Well, let's wait until we converge at Green Lake. Before that, you have to be careful."
In fact, Shade was still thinking about whether to call Dr. Schneider, but then he felt that it was unnecessary. However, he could call Miss Danister, and the "Red Moon Witch" would not be reluctant to participate in this matter. Shade just had to consider how to explain his relationship with so many female sorcerers.
In the past, he was not strong enough, so he had to act in secret every time he handled a major event. But now that he has reached the sixth ring, there are more and more trustworthy people around him, so he can consider being a little more high-profile.
"Also, where is the Unpredictable Space of this era... The Travelers' Association? Or the Winter Choir?"
After all, the impermanence of everything is still a bit far away, and Xia De still has a lot of things to do.
Yin Luna was kept by Miss Carina to talk to her about her studies, while Xia De was sent back to St. Teresa's Square by carriage, and then he went to Randall River Valley.
Since seeing off Dr. Schneider in the Randall River Valley and returning home due to illness, Shade has not set foot on this land again. It has been more than a month since I last came, and now I still miss it a little.
When he walked out of the basement of the Forgotten Church, he found that the building at the rear of the collapsed church had been almost repaired, and most of the rooms showed signs of having been used.
When we arrived at the main hall of the church, we saw paintings on the walls, bouquets of flowers on the pulpit, and even the rows of long chairs were decorated with ribbons. The holy emblem of the Forgotten Old Man shone on the wall, and the rust on the church door had been cleaned away. The windows that were originally nailed shut were all opened to let in the warm spring breeze. Red carpets were laid between the benches, and even the ceiling, which was originally covered with stains, was repainted with religious paintings.
Of course, the hole in the roof still exists, but it has been perfectly integrated with the atmosphere of the church:
“It looks good.”
He originally thought that there would be no one in the church, but when he walked out of the church gate, he saw two girls cleaning the church yard. Shade recognized that they were the two girls in charge of the Golden Dawn Opera Company, so he smiled and greeted them.
Of course, the sorceresses also knew Shad, and then told Shad that the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe had left the area and went to perform elsewhere.
Miss Bernardine and Hillis, the director and deputy director of the opera company, also left the area with the company. The opera company also left a small number of people to run the Wilde Opera House and maintain the church.
When Shad asked where the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe was now, the two young girls smiled and said to him:
"Originally, Miss Lathers was going to Tobesk, and we haven't performed at the Northern Pearl in Delarion for many years. But then Willendel sent us an invitation, so the opera troupe accepted the payment and went to the Green Lake area, ready to show the northerners our cultural and artistic level."
In this way, Shad will soon be able to reunite with the Witch of Earth and Sirius.
In the courtyard of the Forgotten Church, under the oak tree that had grown green leaves, Shad called out the name of the guardian. After a moment, the soil in front of him began to wriggle and rise, and then the soil took the shape of a human, and the chosen one of the earth came before him.
After not seeing him for a month, the Guardian naturally did not change much. This time he appeared in the form of Mr. Lathers. After Shade finished talking about Green Lake, the Mirror Association, and the Thirteen Rings Fortune Teller, he nodded:
"No problem. I will tell the Orthodox Church about this tomorrow morning. The earth has given me a revelation. The crisis in Green Lake must be stopped."
"One more thing. Do you remember Yin Luna Bei Yasi? She is the girl who used the power of the earth and the earth energy cannon. I am interested in learning and mastering the ability to release giant energy, but I don't have many ideas at the moment."
Regarding the second help that Shade sought, the guardian under the tree thought silently:
"You are different from the Chosen Ones of Balance. You can certainly listen to and feel the earth, but the best way is still to feel the moon. Especially... the lunar eclipse around the end of this month."
The Guardian controls the power of the earth and can predict all natural phenomena on the ground in advance. As for the starry sky, although he cannot be very sensitive to all changes, he certainly cannot be unaware of such an important thing as the lunar eclipse. After all, even without the identity of the Guardian and the Chosen One, he is still a thirteen-ring warlock close to demigod:
"Shad Hamilton, this lunar eclipse is very important to you."
