Miss Danister nodded. She thought Shade's arrangement was reasonable.
"You must be careful when you move around Green Lake recently. The appearance of the evil god's followers shows that this matter involves a wider range of people. It is impossible for the Thirteen Rings Fortune Teller, who has been lurking for more than two hundred years, to say that he has no preparations."
Shade even knew that at least one evil spirit was helping the ancestor of Edwards, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to say it. Besides, he didn't want to say it, because that was the prey reserved by Dr. Schneider.
"When you go to Green Lake, you must bring the red-covered book I gave you. This way, even if the power of the book cannot keep you completely safe, at least I can know where you are in danger."
She was silent for a moment, looking at Shade's projection:
"I said the same thing. I've already lost my teacher, and I don't want to lose my students in the process of looking for my teacher. Safety first, Xia De. As long as you're still alive, I can find you no matter where you're in danger."
Miss Danister's words were a bit heavy, but her concerns were justified.
Xia De nodded to show that he understood, so the librarian continued:
"Also, you should have known from Luvia Annat that the last day of the month, next Wednesday, will be the night of the lunar eclipse. Be careful that night and stay at home. The lunar eclipse will have a greater impact on ring sorcerers who are good at the power of the moon, especially low-ring and mid-ring sorcerers. And your investigation doesn't hurt that night."
"I see. I was thinking about learning the Black Moon Symbol that night."
Xia De said with a smile, and then summoned his life ring:
"I recently got another spiritual rune, so I'm halfway to the sixth ring."
"I wouldn't be surprised even if you suddenly said you have reached the seventh ring."
Miss Danister said with a smile, looking at Shade's life ring, she always felt that it was a little different from the life rings of ordinary students. But this life ring was slightly larger, indicating that his soul strength was extremely high, and there was no other abnormality:
"The Church and the Prophet Association have already launched an operation in Green Lake. You must avoid them during the investigation. In addition to concealing your identity, you also want to avoid being regarded as the chosen one of the space. As for the three major colleges, it will take about ten days before someone will lead a team to the local area. Now everyone is guarding against us, and I don't know what they are guarding against."
She leaned back slightly on the sofa, showing a rare look of fatigue:
"Shad, what do you think the God Summoner is doing now? Is he looking for new clues about the Chosen One, or has he found a new enemy? On Monday, he was suspected of using the power of the evil god. If it weren't for the oracle given by the righteous gods - the God of the Sun and the God of the Earth after the battle of the Randall Valley, telling believers not to worry about the God Summoner, the church might have regarded him as a dangerous person this time."
This question is really hard to answer. Xia De thought about it:
"It's getting late. I think the God Summoner should be at home or in the hotel. Prepare to drink some hot milk and then rest."
Miss Danister smiled:
"Let's not talk about that. How are your studies going recently? Next month I plan to start a new elective course with the School of Astronomy to explore the relationship between astrology and lunar magic. Do you have time?"
Then there was a discussion about Xia De's study plan for the second half of the spring semester.
By the time Shade stood up from the chair at the projection ceremony, it was already half past nine that evening. He stretched, glanced at the cat dozing on the sofa, and then walked up the stairs to the third floor:
"Luvia, I want you to use the coin to predict something for me."
"Have you finished talking to Miss Danister? Is there a new clue? What do you want to divine? Now there are only two ghost iron coins left. I think it must be something very important, right?"
Luvia asked without turning her head as she leaned over the telescope to check the starry sky.
"I'm not sure if it's important, but it's definitely not a waste. I want to know how to find believers of the God of Love most conveniently."
"Eros?"
Luvia finally turned around and looked at Shade with curious purple eyes:
"If I remember correctly, this great one governs faithful love and protects those marriages that are worthy of blessing."
She asked Xiang Xiade jokingly:
"Aren't you afraid to go and look for the followers of this god?"
"Um... ... "
Seeing that Shade was speechless for a moment, Luvia's smile became even brighter:
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. But I need to take a break before I start fortune-telling. After a day's work, I still have to draw star maps. This kind of life is really hard."
She said she was taking a break, but in fact, she just went back to the second floor with Xia De to drink a cup of tea. Before taking out the ghost iron coins, she also asked Xia De if he had any specific requests. Xia De hugged the soft cat and thought for a while:
"Looking for the closest, friendliest believer of the God of Love who has a lot of religious knowledge and can answer my questions... It would be best if he is a ring sorcerer who knows a lot about ancient things and can answer all my questions at once, or even know what I want to ask just by looking at me."
"I need to remind you: I can only tell fortunes, I can't make wishes."
Luvia warned.
"Then it will be most convenient for me to find him. Once I find one person, it will be very convenient to find another one."
"Okay, that's easy."
Luvia closed her eyes and threw the coin. The spinning coin began to fall when it reached its highest point and turned into ashes in the air.
This means that the divination went smoothly.
She opened her eyes:
"I really didn't expect that, strictly speaking, the believers of the God of Love did not disappear. They just integrated into other ring wizard organizations."
Xia De expressed his understanding:
"This is common, isn't it? Didn't Sirius's Forsaken Order also merge into the followers of the Arch-Witch of the Golden Dawn Opera Company? So, what group of ring sorcerers are the followers of the God of Love in now?"
He asked curiously.
"You should have heard of the Rosicrucian Order."
Luvia answered, and Shade thought about it for a moment before nodding in understanding.
The Rosicrucian Order is a large group of ring sorcerers currently active in the Willendel region of the Kingdom of Carsenrick. Of course, this "large" is not actually particularly large, it is just relative to other small groups.
Shade's good friend, the vampire Mr. Bernhardt, is a member of the Rosicrucian Order, but he is just hanging out there. According to Mr. Bernhardt, there are many vampire members in the Rosicrucian Order, and that's why he joined.
Of course, the Rosicrucian Order is not just a group of vampires, nor is it a church group that gathers together because of their belief in the same old gods. Their predecessor is the Rosicrucian Knights of the old era. The old and new eras have very similar ideas, that is, through alchemy, breaking through the limitations of the whispering element and artificially creating items containing the whispering element.
This is of course very difficult, and even challenges the Four Elements Theory, one of the foundations of the Ringwitch system. Therefore, artificially creating items containing the whispering element is only the ultimate goal of the Rosicrucian Order. As a group of Ringwitches in the capital of Willendel, they are more interested in the research of alchemy, healing, astrology and other arts, and are happy to explore the impact of "emotion" on extraordinary abilities.
Therefore, the Rosicrucian Order also has a certain influence among the bigwigs in the upper echelons of Willendel who know about the existence of the supernatural. However, it is worth mentioning that although the Rosicrucian Order is keen on the research of "emotion" and "lust", it has strict requirements for its core members to "control their desires".
If you see leaflets promoting low desire and taking care of the body in certain public places in the Willendel area, most of them are distributed by the Rosicrucian Society.
"If I remember correctly, this organization also belongs to the scholar group. Although it is also an unrecognized ring magic organization, the church has never specifically hunted them down. They maintain a delicate balance with the church - maintained unilaterally by the church."
Shad recalled, and then added:
"Margaret and Miss Sylvia seem to have said that the Rosicrucian Order's ability to operate in the Willendel region is also related to the Angevin royal family. The royal family did not support them, but only provided some convenience."
"This is normal. Although the royal family knows that the Orthodox Church is very powerful, they will definitely have their own little tricks. As long as they don't go too far, the church will turn a blind eye. Speaking of which, the Cavendish royal family of our Draerion seems to be 'obedient', but in fact, doesn't it also have a great witch? In comparison, it is obvious that the Cavendish family has gone further than the Anjou family."
Luvia said with a smile.
Xia De nodded:
"Then I will try to go to Willendel. No, I will ask Margaret to help me get some information first. No, I don't know if she will participate in the negotiations in the Green Lake area. If she does, she might have already set off now."
In the last letter, Margaret said that her father had not yet made a decision. Because the Anjou royal family had few heirs, at least one member of the royal family would be sent to Green Lake.
Luvia stopped the active Shade:
"Wait a minute, you don't have to go to Willendel. There are members of the Rosicrucian Order in the Green Lake area, and they are relatively core members. You can find them easily, or you actually know them. Think about it carefully, Shade, who are the relatively strong ring sorcerers you know, but whose specific backgrounds you don't know?"
Xia De understood now, and he asked Luvia in surprise:
"Wait, you mean the Forlan brothers?"
The purple-eyed girl smiled and nodded:
"It's them. It seems that your adventures in the past are connected to the present time."
Then he looked at the last ghost iron coin in his hand:
"Xia De, while we still have time, do we need to do another divination? For example, how to enter another island, or the matter of human body transformation that you mentioned?"
Xia De shook his head:
"Wait a while, let's make plans after Megan and I land on the island for the third time. This time, the fortune teller with thirteen rings has been planning for more than two hundred years, so we must be cautious in everything we do. Leaving the last one will work at the critical moment."
Although he believed that even if the other party lived for more than two hundred years, he would definitely not be as powerful as Long-haired Luvia, but unfortunately Long-haired Luvia was unable to take the initiative now.
