Chapter 2725 Moonfire Torch and Stone Tablet at the Bottom of the Lake
Shad is not just thinking about Carina’s current affairs:
“I don’t know the situation here at the moment. Let Carina, Lesia and Siris wait for news in Tobesk City first. This is also for safety. Everyone can’t come here. Let’s take a look at the current situation. If that still doesn’t work, I’ll go to the guardians and Mr. Albert for help.”
The small camp welcomed so many people at once. After the camp was expanded again, tents and bonfires soon spread all over the edge of the forest.
The four great witches of Space, Earth, Darkness, and Destiny were present, and Miss Danister also greeted them respectively.
“Long time no see, Daniste, you look so young now.”
Grandma Cassandra smiled and said that she and Miss Daniste are distant relatives (Chapter 1913), and in many major events in the past year, Miss Daniste has been with many witches. The members of the Council have met before each other, so they are not strangers.
Under other circumstances, the witches except Granny Cassandra would probably say hello to Shade’s “teacher” very reservedly, but now that the situation is urgent, they and Iluna are here again Listening to Miss Danister recount today’s events by the campfire.
Grace and Helen cast spells with Dorothy to add space loop properties to the camp to ensure that no one can leave this loop space without their permission. The elf girl went to take care of her chocobos, and The three witch apprentices, Tifa, Matilda, and Miss Swift, are responsible for preparing the girls in the camp to prepare for battle.
If it weren’t for this emergency situation, Shade would not have allowed Dorothy or Lesia to merge with the Red Butterfly girls to cast spells so frequently. He was worried that this would have some adverse effects. He had not forgotten many times. The fusion between Rosie and Lesia was greatly delayed rather than eliminated, but this time it had to be that way.
As for when Shad returned to Tobesk just now, his original intention was to ask Luvia to divine how to rescue Miss Winslet, but Luvia spent a [Pure Light]. Although she did get the rescue method, she had to Use a lot of people:
“The information provided by the hermits is correct. The Lake of Love is most attractive to a man and a woman when they come alone. Especially if the two people already have a good relationship, this is almost certain to trigger the characteristic. And with On the contrary, the greater the number of people present at the lake, the less attractive and transcendent it is.
I don’t know if there will be a fight, but at least twenty people must be present to ensure basic safety, and the ratio of men to women must be large. ”
This condition is now met.
The temperature in the forest dropped sharply after nightfall, and the whistling wind blew through the forest, but surprisingly there were no clouds in the night sky. The transparent lake reflected an increasingly strange and magnificent picture of the starry sky. Iluna looked at the lake again with her heterochromatic eyes, then withdrew her gaze and said to Shade and Luvia:
“I thought that after I reached the High Ring, nothing would be able to directly interfere with my mind.”
“Iluna, don’t underestimate this world.”
The fortune teller reminded the newly arrived ladies. After the newly arrived ladies learned about the situation, she clapped her hands and walked to the largest bonfire. Shade and Iluna followed behind her, so everyone Everyone looked at her, and the purple-eyed girl showed no stage fright:
“The Lake of Love is not a relic, but has its current characteristics due to the influence of some powerful existence.
This characteristic is stronger during the night phase than during the day phase, but we cannot wait until daytime, otherwise the probability of Flora Winslet waking up will become even smaller. Getting started now requires everyone’s help. ”
“Are you going to rescue Flora directly?”
The blonde countess asked. Among the witches present, she actually had the best relationship with Luvia. This was a friendship cultivated during the Moon Bay, but Luvia shook her head:
“Bella, if you want to rescue the people at the bottom of the lake, you must let them actively wake up like Shade just now. Otherwise, even if we can sneak into the lake safely like little Mia, we will never be able to pull them out.
Now, we need to determine what this lake is. There is a stone tablet at the bottom of the lake, which records the secrets of this lake. Witches, each choose three helpers, and then leave the camp with me.
The helper you choose does not need to be your own follower, but it must have the power of a witch. If an apprentice is available, be sure to select an apprentice. ”
No one asked her how she knew these things. Everyone surrounded her and watched her standing by the campfire arranging actions.
Purple eyes have a serious expression. It is obvious that Luvia Anat is neither the strongest girl here nor the one who has established deep feelings with the witches present. But when she spoke next to the fire, when Those purple eyes were illuminated by the firelight, and people spontaneously felt awe and belief in her.
“Perhaps in the past Sixth Era, Luvia also obtained the command power of the Parliament through certain means.”
Before choosing their helpers, the girls first helped Shade perform a ceremony to add the power of [Cowardice] to the Chain of Sin. He has collected enough materials, but has not yet performed the ritual.
In the subsequent process of selecting helpers, Vanessa, the four great witches present, was the strongest, so even if the apprentice Margaret was not around, she just randomly selected three high-level girls;
Grandma Cassandra is only at level 10 and is nominally the weakest, so not only did Miss Swift follow her, but Tifa also stood behind her;
The twelfth-level countess has her own maid Matilda, so she doesn’t have to worry about other things;
Although young Miss Sylvia is already at the eleventh level, she has not recruited apprentices, so in addition to her followers, Miss Bell has also followed her.
The girls who were not selected hurriedly made a batch of torches, and then Shade was asked to use “moon fire” to ignite them one after another. The three people beside the four witches who went out each held a torch. Then the four groups were divided into four directions: east, west, north and south, and came to the shore of the heart-shaped love lake.
Under the illumination of the moonfire, the urge to enter the lake reflecting the magnificent stars has weakened a lot.
Luvia then selected twenty-eight people from everyone present, including Grace, Helen, Dorothy, the elf girl, herself, Miss Danister, and Iluna. . They were divided into seven groups, and one group went out at a time to insert the remaining torches into the soil on the shore of the lake.
The seven groups left the camp for a total of three rounds and successfully outlined the outline of the Love Lake with silver firelight. As a result, the spiritual pollution of the large lake immediately weakened.
Immediately following Luvia’s instructions, the four witches by the lake each took out their own witch jewelry.
Vanessa’s gold ring, first from left, Countess’s right hand bracelet, Granny Cassandra’s button, Miss Sylvia’s gold ring, second from left, the four pieces of witch jewelry resonated with each other after being activated, in the lake The silver firelight on the edge adds a golden brilliance.
The power of the witch seems to be particularly restrained by the power of the Love Lake. The spiritual pollution of the star-like lake is once again weakened, and even the color of the stars in the water becomes dim.
“Shad!”
Luvia reminded softly, so Shade in the camp suddenly threw a chain with eight mortal sin runes in the direction of the lake. The chain successfully crossed the gap between the two torches and plopped into the water. At this time, Shade subconsciously took a step forward, and Iluna, who was holding the sword, immediately held his shoulders.
“The stone tablet is underwater and should not be buried very deep. Look for it yourself, but be careful not to touch anyone’s body.”
Luvia reminded.
Although Shade cannot regard the “Sin Chain” as an extension of his senses, he can really feel whether the chain touches something. The power of Moonfire and the four great witches compressed the power of the Lake of Love to the limit, and the power of sin seemed to be able to effectively filter this spiritual pollution.
“The end of the chain seems to have become transparent.”
Dorothy whispered to Luvia. Every rune on the chain of sin lit up under the moonlight, but at the end of the chain illuminated by the moonfire, there was a violent vibration. The rune chain is indeed turning a transparent color.
“It doesn’t matter for now.”
Luvia replied softly, staring closely at Shade’s back.
The calm lake surface became rippled after the chains entered. Half a minute later, the swaying water of the large lake was even about to splash onto the big witches. Fortunately, Luvia warned of this possibility in advance, so they They were all careful to avoid the lake water.
Shad has closed his eyes to let his senses better perceive the situation at the bottom of the lake. Finally, when he did find the stone slab half buried in the mud and wrapped it with chains, a loud hula broke the tranquility of the night.
Except for Shade who closed his eyes and the chocobos huddled together, all the ladies and girls in the camp or by the lake saw a huge tail-like black shadow glowing with starlight. The transparent lake flashed by below.
Even the ladies by the lake could not see the full picture of the thing clearly, but this did not affect the cat on Shade’s shoulder meowing~ and two-thirds of all the moonfire torches were extinguished. The four great witches by the lake fell back one after another, but were immediately supported by their respective helpers.
“Found it!”
Shad grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled it sharply in the direction of the camp, and then Iluna’s hand also grabbed the chain. The two of them exerted their strength together, and with a muffled sound, the ancient stone tablet flew directly out of the water and fell into the camp.
With a bang, the bottom of the stone slab was deeply embedded in the soil beside the campfire. Shade and Iluna breathed a sigh of relief, but Luvia did not relax. Instead, she directed the witches by the lake to retreat one by one, and asked the groups in the camp to go out again to replace the extinguished torches. .
