"Our purpose?"
Shade smiled:
"Madam, are you the chosen one of wisdom and knowledge?"
Tifa looked at Shadow in surprise. Ms. Pavo was also a little surprised, then shook her head slightly:
"What a strange question, but we don't have any fragments of poetry that correspond to the identity of the chosen one. So, I could be, she could be, you could be, and even this dog could be."
"Woof!"
The "dog" barked again and looked at Miss Pavo angrily. This little Mia, who looked like a dog but was actually a cat, dared to "bark" at anyone because Shade was by her side.
Xia De was about to speak, but suddenly he was startled and looked towards the Schluchsee Lake which was already covered by white fog. Miss Pav also turned around and looked towards the center of the lake. Although the light of March could not penetrate the strange fog on the lake, the three people on the shore clearly saw a small black dot appear in the center of the lake. It was called a black dot, but it was just because the shore was too far away from the center of the lake. In fact, it was an island in the center of the lake that appeared at some unknown time.
Silently, several figures entered the fog from the lakeside, either flying or walking on the water, heading towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Shade just took a glance and then looked back at Miss Pavlo. He was not in a hurry at all. He could just ask the witch directly if there was anything on the island.
"The Trial Island where the Sage-level relic Lost Venus has appeared. Are you sure you want to stay here and cause trouble for me?"
Miss Pavo asked Xiang Xiade:
"Why don't we go to the island together first? From the perspective of interests, knowing the test on the island first can maximize the interests of both parties. There is no need for us to waste time here."
But Shade shook his head:
"Ma'am, your analysis makes sense, but the problem is-"
He smiled:
"We are not here for the chosen ones."
The sorceress who manipulated the silver book showed a confused expression for the first time tonight, but she quickly spoke again:
"Do you know?"
Miss Pavo said softly:
"The fragments of poems we have show that the Chosen Ceremony held by the Chosen One of Knowledge and Wisdom requires an important ritual material - Wise Pyroxene. This is a material that we could not find the source of even if we searched through all the ancient books."
"Wise Pyroxene?"
Xia De knew that the other party was delaying time, waiting for his companions to arrive, but coincidentally, Xia De was also waiting for the other party's companions to appear.
Tifa, who was holding Mia, said softly:
"A stone related to that ancient god?"
“Yes, we later got information from the Apna Library. They shared information about the material with us and we showed them the fragments of the poem.”
Ms. Pavo revealed the source of the information without hesitation, but did not rule out the possibility that it was intended to confuse the public:
"Although the ancient gods have long gone, their power still affects the material world of the Sixth Epoch in all aspects. It's like the threads of the sleeping giants still pulling at fate."
This statement is interesting.
"Wise Pyroxene is an extremely rare alchemical material, and its rarity is comparable to the Sage Stone, the marker of Sage-level relics. There is only one way to obtain Wise Pyroxene. Those who have inherited the power of the ancient god of wisdom can test mortals. After the mortal accepts the test and completes it, if he does not ask for other rewards, he will be able to get a piece of Wise Pyroxene. Those ancient beings are the keepers. As the chosen one awakens, the keepers will frequently appear beside him or her to test him or her.
So, this scene tonight means that the chosen one is in Lakeview Manor, yes, right here."
She said with a smile, and was satisfied to see the two extremely dangerous enemies in front of her, listening to her words attentively:
"Since Wise Pyroxene itself is produced from relics, it is also a special derivative of relics, or it can be regarded as a relic itself. There is a very obscure containment report from the Fifth Era in the Apna Library. According to the report, this relic can permanently enhance the wearer's intelligence, understanding, logical thinking, and all aspects of the mind. Yes, permanently. The negative characteristic is nothing more than an enhanced desire for knowledge."
"The Chosen One's Ritual requires this material, but isn't there any such relic handed down from past times?"
Shade asked in a deep voice, and Miss Pavo explained:
"The Wise Man's Pyroxene is a symbol of the wise man. It can only be given once by someone who has accepted the test, and will disappear with the death of the wise man who has accepted the test. Therefore, the Wise Man's Pyroxene cannot be passed down for a long time."
"I see."
Xia De nodded slightly, then looked towards the island in the middle of the lake:
"So, the island that appeared tonight in the center of Lake Schluchsee is..."
"Yes. The latest stone tablet discovered by the Blood Spirit School in the New World predicted that a chosen one with wisdom and knowledge would appear at the banquet, which led to this island, the trial island of the sage-level relic Lost Venus. Lost Venus is the country of wise men in the legend of the Third Age. There must be a keeper of secrets on this island. But unfortunately, we only know that the ceremony requires the wise man's pyroxene, but we don't know the specific details of the ceremony, nor how many pyroxenes are needed."
Xia De knew the answer. The fragments of the poem in "The Secret of Immortality" clearly stated that the keeper would propose five tests. In other words, the chosen one ceremony this time required five Wise Pyroxenes. As for the specific steps of the ceremony, Luvia could use special coins to perform divination to find out.
Combining all the information together, assuming that the sorceress from the Society of Truth in front of him did not lie, then this ritual of the chosen one is not that difficult compared to the death of the chosen one, but it is a bit complicated.
At this time, looking at the island in the middle of Lake Schluch filled with whispering elements, there was no sign of fighting under the moonlight. The area of the island was far smaller than the island in the middle of Lake Lost in 5177 of the Fifth Era, and slightly smaller than the island in the middle of Lake Cherubim in the west of Huntington City. Shade was very curious about how many people had landed on the island besides the two witches.
"I have told you everything I know, so can I go now?"
Miss Pav said with a smile. Shade looked at her floating book and said deliberately in a frivolous way:
"If you're willing to share your book material and leave it behind, you can leave now."
"Oh, sir, you are not a gentleman at all. Besides, do you think that anyone can hold this book?"
The lady under the moon seems particularly intellectual:
"If we quantify the average intelligence of humans in this era, the average is 10, and the normal maximum is 20, then at least 18 points of intelligence are needed to hold this book."
"You think I'm not smart enough?"
Shad asked, and Miss Pavo smiled but said nothing.
Shade's eyes continued to look at the pages that were constantly turning. From this position, he could see the contents of the pages. Perhaps because he was not the owner of the book, the pages looked completely blank to him.
"Your people have already landed on the island? I'm curious, what are you doing here?"
Shade asked again, Miss Pavo still smiled and said nothing, and Tifa suddenly said:
"From what this lady has shown, she is very proficient in numbers and probability. I have heard of a special kind of divination using numbers... If I am not mistaken, she is using this book to figure out who will be the chosen one to attend the banquet."
The sorceress of the Truth Society narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Tifa:
"Numerology is a hybrid subject that combines mathematics, numerology, and ancient knowledge of numbers. In our time, not many people have mastered it. Madam, may I ask who told you about this subject?"
Xia De knew the answer to this question. The great witch Miss Sylvia was an expert in digital divination.
