The latest website: When Shard and Miss Benanis returned to the Wilde Opera House, Luvia had also arrived and was discussing tonight's affairs with Miss Lathers. And Luvia also brought them new news:

"Professors from the Zarath School of Literature will also participate in the operation on the shore of Lake Eldron tonight. Among the three colleges, only the professors from the Zarath School of Literature have arrived ahead of schedule."

"It doesn't matter, we are waiting on the periphery tonight, and we may not really be needed."

Xia De said that he did not carry the [Night Watchman] this time, and he would try to avoid carrying this relic before determining the whereabouts and identity of the demon.

"In addition, the statue of Edward Marcus, one of the three auction items that may point to the heart of the earth, I already got it yesterday afternoon."

The statue was transformed by Xia De and placed on the coffee table in the study. The three women examined it in turn, but found nothing unusual.

"Isn't it this?"

Miss Benanis said suspiciously:

"These stones come from the Randall Valley, in the southwest, so this is not a petrified body."

At this time, Miss Lathers was using her thaumaturgy to investigate, and when Miss Lathers finished her inspection, Shad said:

"I also checked at home last night and found nothing suspicious, so now there is only one last way left."

Pulling out a bright silver arc of light in his hand, he cut the complete ancient statue into a pile of rubble in an instant.

Everyone picks up those little rocks and checks and reconfirms that it's really just plain old antiques. Of course, the process of obtaining this antique is not a waste of time, at least it gave Xia De access to Stone. Oxenfurt's grounds.

"The breath of time."

Xia De took a deep breath, and as the gray smoke flew from the stones to his nasal cavity, the stone statue turned back in time and returned to its original appearance. Since casting a spell takes one-fifth of the time, the casting of this spell probably took less than 20 seconds of Shade's lifespan.

"Really, I've said it many times, don't use this thaumaturgy casually, isn't your lifespan infinite?"

Seeing this, Luvia immediately blamed her.

"Maybe it's just that we don't see the value of this statue, so keep it intact first, maybe it will be useful."

Xia De said, and Miss Benaniss and Miss Lathers, only then knew that Xia De's thaumaturgy that directly affects time and is almost miraculous is at the cost of lifespan, and they also thought that Xia De had better not use it casually.

After all, just like Xia De once said, the only gamble that mortals can be sure of is that mortals are mortal.

The statue of one of the three items was obtained, and the remaining two, namely the ceramic vase and the antique key, were in the hands of the local stone art exhibition hall and Earl Granger respectively. The curator of the former is the folklorist mentioned by Haishu Oxenfurt who can ask for help, while the latter involves whether he is a descendant of Mr. Lehman.

Of course, although it is urgent to find these two items, at least this Thursday must not be done. The time is approaching dusk, and what will happen in Lake Eldron on the upper reaches of the Elrond River will soon be revealed.

Because I don't know what will happen, so besides Xia De, Luvia, and Miss Lassus, there are only three witch followers with nine rings who are also the chief accountants of the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe. and styling and costume designers.

The church did not blockade the area around Lake Eldron, but set up a large camp by the lake, relying on the camp to prepare for the ceremony of dispersing the crazy land.

The church's rituals are much more complicated than Shade's "Power of the Earth Healing Reiki", and ordinary rituals take a long time to completely purify the land that is heading towards madness. In the past, when the "Crazy Land" appeared, it would take a long time. After all, as long as the black mud and the crazy land were restrained from spreading, it would take a month or two to solve it. But this time relying on the body of water, the madness of the earth spread very

fast. Therefore, in order to speed up the originally long purification ceremony, the Church of the Sun, which presided over the ceremony, joined forces with the Church of Nature in the diocese.

The plan is that in the evening, the church ring warlocks will jointly cast spells to completely freeze the polluted area below the water surface to ensure that the spread of pollution is temporarily controlled. Afterwards, the complicated divine rituals will cooperate with the sage-level relic [Oak Staff of the Great Elf Sage] transported from the outskirts of York City, Carson Rico de Colum County, and strive to complete the purification before dawn.

Because there is no such hasty purification experience in the past, the church has no conclusion on whether this is feasible, so it can only dispatch more ring warlock teams to prepare for possible situations.

But in Xia De's view, this time it's not that the more people, the better. After all, the pollution from the source of the madness of the earth is determined. As long as the effect of the madness of the earth cannot be exempted, it is useless to find all the ring warlocks in the entire Carson Rik.

In short, in the evening of that day, a group of six people wearing robes and riding horses arrived at the top of the hill on the east side of Lake Eldron. Riding on the horses, they saw the western setting sun sprinkled over the frozen lake, and the brilliant sun was covered by it. The ice reflected, as if the Great Lakes were glowing in the sun.

The large lake, which is close to a standard circle, is surrounded by the surrounding white forest in winter, and in the distance, you can see a few wisps of green smoke wafting from the rural villages. There are several large boats frozen in the lake, near the west side of the lake, small fishing boats are parked next to the pier, and around the pier, the camp of the church is also bathed in the setting sun.

The group of priests in white robes was praying to the last ray of the sun, praying for the power of the sun to protect them at night. This is the basic divine ritual [Sun Blessing] of the Church of the Sun. If it is used by a large number of priests, the effect will be quite powerful.

Seen from the top of the hill area, the camp around the pier is quite large. According to a rough estimate, there are at least three digits of people in the camp. Of course, it is impossible for all of them to be ring warlocks, but this scale is enough to be called a big operation.

Shade pulled the rein and asked Miss Benanis who was riding beside her on the maroon horse:

"I remember Randall Valley, there are no thirteen-ring warlocks stationed all year round."

After all, the Church of the Five Gods has a limited number of thirteen-ring warlocks, and it is necessary to take into account the development of distant seas and the exploration of new continents.

"Yes, but last week, in order to round up the cultists, the Church of the Sun dispatched the famous "Earth Shaker" Mr. Pierre Granger. This thirteen-ring warlock is as good at the power of the earth as I am, He is especially good at creating thaumaturgy such as earthquakes, but unfortunately, such moves cannot be used indiscriminately in urban areas.”

"Granger?"

Luvia asked curiously, while Miss Lathers took off her hood to reveal her beautiful long hair:

"Yes, this gentleman was originally from the Randall Valley. It is said that he has a distant relationship with the Earl Granger family, but you also know that Granger itself is not a very rare surname, so is it a relative of the Earl family? , no one can explain.”

"Will he show up tonight?"

Xia De looked at the camp by the lake expectantly, but Miss Benanis shook her head slightly:

"Even if the news passed through the black market is believed by the church, the only thirteenth ring cannot be transferred outside the city. After all, the cultists are still lurking in the city, and it is the correct way to keep a thirteenth ring in the city. ... But I heard that the Church of the Five Gods intends to send one of the thirteen rings to arrive in this city next week or later, in order to deal with the matter of the chosen ones from the earth.

"The Epic of the Chosen One is really becoming more and more influential... Let's go camp, let's take a rest first."

Xia De suggested, so the group turned their horses around. And Xia De fell at the end, turned to look at the almost flaming ice surface:

"What will happen tonight?"

In order to prevent being noticed by the church, Xia De and others chose to camp in a forest far away from the lake. After simply setting up the bonfire and erecting the fence, Xia De even used the newly acquired thaumaturgy [Moon Thorn] at the entrance of the camp.

When his finger pointed to the gate of the fence, bright silver thorns immediately emerged from the soil, intertwined and tightly blocked the entrance of the camp. And not just blocking the entrance,

Then the thorns clung to the fence until they merged with the fence completely, like a camp surrounded by silvery thorn bushes.

Miss Benanis tried it. Although the thorns can be destroyed from the inside, it still takes some means. And to destroy the thorns from the outside, even an eleventh-level witch would find it tricky. Of course, this also has something to do with her not being good at fighting, and it's impossible to use mystic lock here with all her strength.

And if you want to fly from above the thorns to the camp, those thorns will grow upwards to block it, but as long as you fly high enough, Shade's bright silver thorns will not react. Therefore, the most suitable scene for this thaumaturgy is a relatively closed room.

"This is a bit like the thaumaturgy [Light of Thorns] mastered by Iluna (Chapter 975 ~lightnovelpub.net~ Luvia said to Shad:

"However, her moves require spell-casting materials, and they are thaumaturgy unique to the Church of the Sun."

After the evil in the Pantanal was burned, Sister Devlin used the first fire to endow Shad with many interesting powers. One of them is that the bonfire he ignited by himself is warmer, and it is easier to stay around. Can quickly restore physical strength and spirit.

At this time, the bonfire warmed everyone, and the smoke from the fire had been eliminated, because they had eaten before coming, so there was no need to cook.

Six people sat around the bonfire and chatted. After the sun completely set, Xia De went to the lake with Luvia and Miss Benanis. Because the three of them had the "power of the earth", Miss Lasers led The two high-ring sorceresses are here to meet them, ensuring that there is at least a way out.

It can be seen that Miss Lathers is not very willing to watch the three of them take risks, but because of Miss Benanis' insistence, she can only reluctantly agree. Mobile phone users please browse and read, palm reading is more convenient.
