"Two tents, you mean..."
Miss Feliana looked at her two students. Her expression became more vivid at this moment, no longer showing that terrible numbness.
Xia De looked at Miss Feliana's face. Even though her lips were pale and her complexion was ugly, she had a unique charm that ordinary people could never possess.
"In my time, I paid for a bottle of elixir of life from the fishmen, found the Guiding Light Hermitage, and obtained incomplete ritual information. This is an extremely dangerous ritual of summoning gods. You have forgotten one thing. In fact, the ritual has already begun."
The firelight illuminated the faces of the four "people", and Shade's slow and low voice was still asking questions. The crackling bonfire made everyone's shadows sway. The four people were in four directions, and three dark shadows stretched into the distance. Only the shadow of the giant tree witch under the tree was projected on the trunk of the tall ancient tree:
"Ms. Feliana, you said that you lost a large amount of ritual materials. Can you confirm that the materials were lost, not consumed?"
The witch couldn't answer, and her memory began to become confused here.
"Ms. Feliana, you said that the ritual requires the participation of a witch who possesses the power of nature, time, and space. You prepared a powerful relic to replace the witch, but the power of the relic was absorbed by the forest. Excuse me, are you sure that the power of the relic was absorbed, not that the ritual has already begun?"
They still couldn't answer.
"Who is it?"
Miss Feliana's lips moved.
"It's definitely not you. You are a real person, there is no doubt about that. I once doubted this lady."
Shade pointed at the Moon Witch, who looked at him with a little confusion.
It seemed as if Shad's arrival had brought new strength to the witches, and as he spoke, their numb souls were regaining their vitality.
"I doubt you because the ritual requires a witch with natural power, so the existence of the giant tree witch is reasonable. But then I asked... ... about something, and she told me that the original librarian position was the moon, just like us... ... From your time to our time, most librarians are the moon."
Shade looked at the Giant Tree Witch, who was sitting under the tree trunk, looking at Shade with a peaceful smile.
Xia De bowed his head slightly to show respect:
"The ceremony is divided into two parts. The first part accounts for 80 percent and is used to summon the gods. If you just want to meet the gods and have no other purpose, you can just carry out the ceremony here and then send the gods away."
Miss Felina and the Moon Witch looked at the "witch" under the tree. She gently took off her hood. Her long green hair fluttered slightly in the night wind in the forest. There were some golden scars on her hair, and the scars were unusually shiny.
"The ritual of contacting the Gate of Radiance is to call upon the gods directly, without the need to prepare a human body as a vessel for the saint. This means that if you forget to send the gods away, end the first step, and do not continue with the second step of the ritual, then something terrible will happen."
It's not that the gods can't leave on their own, but the special nature of this ritual. When a mortal calls upon a great being, he must send the great being away. This is the most basic contract of this ritual. Only by carrying out the second stage of the ritual can the entire ritual be completed, allowing the gods to stay and leave at will.
He nodded to the Giant Tree Witch again:
"Good evening, Giant Tree Witch, or Princess Taviel, or... the old god - Brilliant Gate."
His current form of existence is very special. The reason why he does not harm mortals because of his appearance is because the real God is not the witch image in front of him, but the giant tree behind her, or in that tree.
This can be seen from "Tree Kiss".
Miss Feliana and her group actually consisted of only her and the Moon Witch. They broke into the Thousand Trees Forest and performed a ceremony, but after summoning the gods, they forgot what they had done because of the forest.
God accompanied them under this tree, beside this campfire, using his body to hold up this clearing in the forest. He did not remind them of what had happened, but quietly helped them survive in a dangerous place. Maybe this is because God is supposed to be like this, or... ... Knowledge wanted to have some fun.
If it weren't for the beautiful human image of the incarnation of God, this would actually be considered a horror story.
But this also explains Shade's other questions, such as the fact that the giant tree witch hardly spoke and rarely participated in conversations. Also, before he left last time, the three witches sang poems to tell him the story of the gods, which directly allowed him to obtain the key to the spell gate.
This is totally unreasonable. No matter how powerful the witches are, they are still witches. Even if they hold the relic, there is no reason for them to directly give Shade power. Shade originally thought that he was lucky and was very sensitive to the power of the Yaobian Gate. Now that he thinks about it, the real reason is that the god himself told his story.
It was just like the innocent creator at the beginning, who, by telling his own story, allowed Shad to gain false immortality through the spell.
"Good evening, man from the future."
The god responded softly, and as golden traces of light appeared on his greenish hair, Shad could no longer look directly at Him.
However, he was glad that he was not called "the child from the future" this time.
"So everything is clear, Miss Felina. You have completed the first part of the ritual. Now you are still missing the second part."
Shade shook the "Derraion Ancient Fairy Tales" in his hand:
"'Kiss of the Tree', the second step of the ritual is this."
The Moon Witch was terrified that there was a god sitting opposite her, and she stood there at a loss. Miss Felena, like Shade, greeted the god respectfully, and then quietly moved closer to her student.
Xia De opened the book and turned to the chapter "Kiss of the Tree":
"My version of the story is very interesting. Princess Tavier coexists with the ancient tree and eventually enters the door on the trunk and gains the power of the ancient tree. The ritual is very clear. We need to let the princess enter the tree and complete the final ritual of summoning the gods."
"Yes, that's right."
Miss Feliana said hesitantly, she seemed to recall something.
"But I'm curious. Sorry, old god, if the story of "Kiss of the Tree" is a ritual, is it also the story you experienced? Is the ancient tree that gave Princess Tavier power in the story... the Father of the Infinite Tree?"
Shade kept a puzzled expression, and the god smiled at him. The wind blew through the open space, and the treetops rustled overhead. It was so quiet here that when the "witch" under the tree spoke, the quiet voice almost blended into the quiet night:
"Your real question should be whether I am a mortal who has become a god."
He looked at him, he looked at her, she looked at her, she looked at him.
The Moon Witch looked at Shade in shock. Miss Feliana shook her head and closed her eyes. Shade did not get an answer from the expression of the founder of the academy. The gods were watching all this.
The witch's song seems to still echo here.
Please call our names softly and ask your questions~
It was she who sang softly in his ear.
