Chapter 3389 Death Mark
"Use snake slough? No, I don't want to end it so early."
Luvia shook her head:
"Besides, with Stella Larson at the forefront, we have no shortage of candidates."
“But completing important story points on the island or killing infinite snakes will increase your importance on the stage. If you don’t perform on stage for a long time, your role will be taken away by others.”
Carina said, Luvia smiled and glanced at Shade:
"Some people, no matter how hard they perform, will only be overshadowed when the real protagonist appears. Besides, I have never wanted to be the chosen one. Let's talk about the snake shedding later. At least now is not the most critical time.
Although you [Witch Council] prepared a relic for the white-haired girl to resist the interference of fate, I think it is not enough. Angel-level or even unknowable-level relics are not available for the time being, so ink is the only possible effective means in our hands. "
"I've already found the Philosopher's Stone, and the Snow Mountain Water is no problem. Although the Lacrimal Fern is rare, I think I can find it on the island. Now the only thing missing to prepare the ink is human blood and the specific synthesis steps."
Xia De said, and Jialina nodded:
"Mother-in-law Cassandra and Bella have also helped prepare the other common materials that Shade mentioned."
"I have figured out the human blood issue. What is needed is the writer's blood, and the blood is added directly to the ink before writing. The remaining problem now is the preparation process. Fortunately, Dorothy found a batch of valuable ancient books in the college library, which greatly reduced the difficulty of my divination.
I will try to make mineral pigment ink on Wednesday. I hope I can succeed at once and not waste too much [Philosopher's Stone]. "
As for the date when Xiwei will arrive on the island, it will be tomorrow evening. A small fleet of the Aurora family will rush to Fatumonster Island to help the fleets of the two countries maintain their ships. In winter, the coastal areas are covered with floating sea ice. Although each fleet has its own means of ship maintenance, the Aurora family is professional.
They ate dinner while talking. At the end of the dinner, there was about two-fifths of the ancient red wine left. After all, none of the three of them were alcoholics. The red wine tasted good, but Jialina and Luvia still thought it was not as good as Shade's "blood-brewed red wine".
Xia De gave the remaining half bottle of wine to the maids here tonight. Although it was ancient wine, it was just an ordinary item and there was no need to cherish it too much.
However, Carina asked them to taste it before going to bed at night, because after dinner she took her maids to the Yodel Palace and did not return until ten o'clock in the evening:
"Before I met Shad, I would have stayed at Yodel Palace so late at night. But it is my nephew's house, not mine. Number 6 Saint Teresa's Square is more comfortable."
However, although Carina and Luvia both stayed at home, they all knew that when Shad used the key for the last time tomorrow morning, he might have to face an evil god, so they told Shad to have a good rest that night.
Luvia went to her astrology room in room one on the third floor, while Karina stayed in the side bedroom of room one.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Carina went to the parliament to tell Sylvia about the "portal". After she came back, everyone washed up and returned to their rooms.
Luvia turned on the bedside lamp and read for a while. After turning off the light, she wanted to go to bed early so that she could send Shade to the temple tomorrow morning. But she was probably thinking about various things, such as the seven stories of fate, the way to resist fate, the ink to rewrite fate, and the seemingly random but definitely planned arrangements of the demigod witch Chloe, so she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
"Why don't you go talk to Shade? He's probably not asleep either."
Purple eyes opened, she threw back the covers and put on her slippers in the dark, but after thinking for a moment she took off her shoes, bent down to pick them up, then left the room barefoot and walked towards the stairs.
The fireplace in Room 1 downstairs was lit, and there were maids in the kitchen preparing breakfast for tomorrow morning. However, they did not notice Luvia, who quietly opened the door and entered the room, wondering if there might be someone in the room, such as Carina or Tifa.
But this time she guessed wrong. Only Shad was in the room, looking at an old parchment.
That was the ancient record about the Snow Mountain Spring Water that he asked Elder Harald for before leaving the Snow Mountain Hall today.
The water from the "Upper Spring", "Middle Spring" and "Lower Spring" are the three necessary basic materials for the magic potion "Snow Mountain Water" that can restore spirits. But this does not refer to three specific springs. There are many "Lower Springs" at the foot of the mountain. The one Shade went to last time with Claire was just one of them.
The "Middle Spring" located on the mountainside actually has three springs, but only one can make animals more intelligent; as for the "Upper Spring", there is indeed only one, but the "Upper Spring" today is not the spring in ancient times.
The Fatu people also know that the real "Shangquan" in ancient times has been lost, and the "Shangquan" today is just a lake on the top of the mountain with strange powers. Although it can still produce "snow mountain water", the effect is far inferior to that in ancient times.
And Shade felt that since the "Lower Spring" and "Middle Spring" allowed him to hear Luvia's voice, then the "Upper Spring" might also be able to do so, so he needed to understand this part of knowledge.
Seeing that Shade put down the parchment and was about to speak, Luvia made a gesture to keep quiet, then smiled, put down her slippers and got into the quilt:
"I can't sleep~"
She said in a coquettish tone, glanced at the parchment that Shade was rolling up, and then whispered:
"When Xiwei and Miss Eliza arrive on Wednesday, there will be more people on the island, and you won't have to do everything by yourself. You're still looking at materials so late at night. You're working much harder than us."
"It doesn't matter. Since I want more, I will naturally have to work harder."
Shade then hugged Luvia, wondering if he would have a chance to meet Rapunzel in his dream tonight and talk about the matter of Nakaizumi. However, Rapunzel said that the next time they would meet would be after Shade used the black key next month, and Shade currently did not have the ability to actively meet her in his dream:
"Will you rest here tonight?"
He asked again, and Luvia blinked:
"I just can't sleep and want to talk to you, but Mia will be angry if you invite me."
The cat moved its tail away from its face and looked at the two people hugging each other. However, since the ring on its tail was still there, it did not protest.
About twenty minutes later, the door of the master bedroom was gently pushed open again, and Karina tiptoed in with her slippers in hand, almost like Luvia just now:
"Shad, are you asleep? I want to talk to you."
Then she saw two pairs of slippers beside the bed. Luvia raised her head from Shade's side and waved at her with a smile. She was really just chatting with Shade. Carina breathed a sigh of relief and spoke loudly:
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I was planning to leave early tomorrow morning around five o'clock, otherwise you would laugh at me. What were you talking about?"
She also put down her slippers and crawled into the quilt. Just like the bottom of Shade's bed could magically hide many people, this quilt could also magically cover three people.
On Tuesday morning, Shad got up early at six o'clock. He let the girls and the cat in the closet sleep for a while, and went to the sacrificial site on the top of the mountain alone.
Although there was no appointment in advance, Sister Defulin knew that Shad would leave for the [Tombstone Wasteland] this morning, so she was waiting for him at the sacrificial site early. Or rather, the nun had been here all the time.
After coming down from the rumbling elevator and walking through the spacious corridor to the upper edge of the underground sacrificial site, Shad saw from above the white candles lit on the ground of the sacrificial site below.
These candles were inserted into the gaps between the uneven bricks and stones on the ground. Although the light from the candles was not very bright, it at least made sure that there was no completely dark area in the sacrificial site.
This was the advice given by Shad when he left last time, and it seems that Sister Devlin accepted it.
The corridor connected to the exit of the elevator, located above the sacrificial site. On the platform at the exit of the corridor, you can actually jump directly down, but Shade was still polite and walked down the stone steps on the side.
The last time he came, Shade explained the power he had learned from Sister Belen, and Sister Develyn admitted that she had made a mistake. In any case, the small conflict had been resolved long ago, and Shade's visit this time was not for this matter:
"Good morning, Sister."
He said to Sister Defulin who was kneeling in front of the brazier, and stood beside the nun, watching the flames licking the [Ashes] sword:
"This is the last time we go to the Tombstone Wasteland, and this will probably be the last time we meet Sister Belen. So Sister Develyn, do you have anything to say to Sister Belen?"
After all, this was a rare conversation between nuns across time, and Shade felt it was still very meaningful.
The nun did not stand up. She said softly:
"Please tell her that we have inherited the fire, sword and eyepatch well."
Xia De remembered this sentence carefully:
"Okay, then I'll go out."
"Please wait."
The nun called out to Shade:
"Do you remember the fire I gave you before you set out last time?"
"Remember, a very warm flame."
"Remember, that warm flame will help you when you need it. This time, please bring this with you as well."
At this time, she was kneeling at the bottom, while Shad was standing at the top. She stretched out her hand to Shad with the back of her hand facing up, which was completely different from the previous situation. The fire did not ignite between them. When Sister Defulin placed her hand on the palm of Shad's right hand, the black light symbolizing death was transmitted to his hand.
The light eventually formed the holy emblem of the ancient god of death on the back of his hand before slowly disappearing.
She said softly:
[Outlander, the chosen one of death has shared the "Mark of Death" with you, which is valid for 24 hours. Guide your own spirit to the back of your hand, and you can use a blow derived from the essence of death, which can be used three times.]
