Chapter 1846 The Secret of the Ceremony
"In the worst case, at least we can keep the witch, which is not bad. I'm in good shape today, so what shall we continue divination?"
Luvia asked the two of them, and Iluna thought about it:
"The thirteen keys are still five short, and all of Laplace Howard's plans are more important. The secondary thing is where is the soul of Maria Edwards floating in the Green Lake area."
"There is also the 'Edwards Den Magic'. I doubt it. This is actually the name given by the fortune-teller for the ceremony of the chosen one. Finally, it is the method to enter another island."
Xia De added, the three discussed it, and finally decided to divination the whereabouts of the remaining five keys.The news from Maria Edwards is not necessarily important. Shad felt that many clues could be investigated by the method of entering the island, and the Prophet Association is also working hard for this.As for the ascension to the gods and the fortune-teller's plan, it may cost too many coins because it involves the chosen one.
So one of the brand-new coins that Iluna brought was thrown into the air, and fell into fly ash before falling back in front of Luvia.The purple-eyed girl opened her eyes with a pensive look on her face:
"It's very interesting. Three of the remaining five keys have been fully formed. One is in the hands of the [Tyranny Club] and the other is in the hands of the [Dragon Meal Cult]. If there is no accident, this should refer to the two Edwards cultists. The last one that has been formed is in the hands of the [Truth Society]. According to divination, it was traded from the soul of the last cemetery keeper on the island after they landed on the island."
This method is consistent with Megan and Shad exchanging keys from the blacksmith and mineralogist.
"What about the two that haven't yet formed?"
"One clue is on the island, and the other is outside the island. The one on the island is not specifically inside the island, but under the waters on the edge of the island covered by white mist, hidden in the soul of the former boatman of Green Lake Town. The clue outside the island is in the hands of the descendants of the last mayor of Green Lake Town."
"Wait a moment."
Iluna asked Xia De puzzledly:
"Isn't the mayor of Green Lake Town a member of the Edwards family?"
"No, the mayor and the lord are not the same concept. However, more than 100 years have passed since the town of Green Lake was abandoned. I am afraid that the fifth and sixth generation Edwards who were the mayor back then do not know."
"It's okay, I got it. I got it, including the location of the underwater boatman's body."
Luvia smiled and said:
"This kind of divination for finding things, especially if you know the detailed information and can delineate the area, is the simplest. For the underwater clues, Xia De needs to go there himself. As for the descendants of the mayor, they are now living in the glass city on the other side of the lake. I will write down the specific address now, but the divination can only reveal that the clues are in his hands. We have to find out the specifics by ourselves."
The first [Mechanical Blessing] solved all the troubles of the keys, and Luvia picked up the second one:
"Need to continue divination, is there any relationship between that bloody door and Edward's magic?"
Iluna signaled Shad to make up his mind, Shad thought about it:
"Well, let's see if we can get an answer."
A coin is thrown into the air, but has no effect.The three discussed again, and Luvia threw a [Mechanical Blessing] and a [Shadow Iron Coin] into the sky at the same time.
The two coins scattered into fly ash in the air, and Luvia also opened her eyes, meeting the probing gazes of Xia De and Iluna;
"The result is not very clear, but what is certain is that the Space Chosen Ceremony is only a part of Edwardsden's magical art. This is not only related to family integration, but also related to the creation of space required by the ceremony. In addition to the chosen one's ritual, Edwards Den's magical art has other secrets. He collected the flesh and blood of the descendants of Green Lake Town and made thirteen keys. It is related to it. Becoming the Chosen One is only part of his plan. He is seeking other things."
After performing three special divinations in a row, her face turned pale, Xia De asked her to take a rest, and Iluna poured her a cup of hot tea.Luvia didn't force herself, she held her teacup and sorted out her thoughts:
"If you want to see Laplace Klein Howard, you have to go through the bloody door. Although the door appeared in the dreams of the Edwards, the body of the door is on another island. Through the symbolic act of 'passing through the door', the Edwards will copy the awakened power in the blood, just like the nutrition absorbed by the root system, and then pass it to the fortune-teller at the top of the root system, and after the so-called 'banquet', the fusion of soul and flesh will be truly realized. And the thirteen keys, as Shade guessed , symbolizes the degraded version of the ceremony of the thirteen chosen ones in "Whispering Verses". The process of searching for the keys is the process of finding the chosen ones. The key itself represents the history and inheritance of the Edwards family. The accumulation of the two phases, the door opened by the thirteen keys is equivalent to the last door opened by the chosen ones: the Edwards pushed open the final door."
This passage is a bit complicated, and the ritual knowledge involved is quite abstract.This is only what Luvia can see, and the fortune tellers on the island should have more preparations:
"I don't know what the final purpose of Edward's magic is. I have never seen this kind of ritual."
"In other words, the stronger the Edwards are, the stronger the ultimate fortune-teller will be. And our collection of these keys is actually equivalent to helping his ritual?"
Iluna frowned and concluded, and Luvia shook her head:
"The ceremony is a ceremony of uniting many into one. It's not that if we don't collect the keys, the ceremony cannot be carried out. Laplace Howard has a way to get those keys back and open the door himself. And once we can collect enough thirteen keys in advance, we can land on the island before the opponent's ceremony starts, and see him through the door before he can perform the ceremony."
Xia De finally understood the most important and final task in front of him:
"Collect all thirteen keys as soon as possible, then lead people to the island, defeat or contain Laplace Klein Howard."
Luvia nodded slightly:
"The final message of this divination: Once the ceremony is launched, all the Edwards will instantly appear on another island covered in mist, and they will arrive at the bloody gate under the guidance. This is the space power hidden in their blood, which is passed down from generation to generation, and cannot be erased just like the prophecy of the blood."
There are two last coins left on the table, and Iluna left the [Homeland Coin] that can be exchanged for a house, and picked up the last [Mechanical Blessing]:
"Now that the goal has been clarified, we can ignore other details about Edward's magic spell for the time being. It's the same as when we fought against the 'Silver Eyed One' and [Mercury's Blood]. For the last divination, please do your best to predict the side and hands of that fortune-teller. We have to face any dangers."
This is the danger that may be encountered in divination in the future. Although the demon has been removed, the methods around the "ancestor" are not just demons.
Luvia also understood what Iluna meant, but she had already performed three consecutive divinations, so Shade and Iluna both asked her to take a rest.The three of them started chatting with teacups. On this rainy Monday morning, under the light of the gas lamp in the hotel room, they talked to each other about their thoughts and plans.
Iluna likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Chatting in the warm room on a rainy day is already a joy, not to mention that there are Xia De and Luvia beside her.She complained to Luvia that the environment in Green Lake City was not as good as Tobesk, and talked with Shad about whether Green Lake would turn green as rumored. Finally, she recommended Luvia to try the special wild berry jam in Green Lake City. The blueberry and cranberry jam produced by Green Lake is only sold locally, but the taste is quite good.
Luvia smiled and listened to her words, and the topic she brought up was Shad's several visits to the island, the scenery he saw on that island, and the topography of the island.
As for Shad, in addition to mentioning that the [Witch Council] is preparing supplies for the chosen ceremony for Ruster Edwards and Durut Gilles, he also mentioned that after the Green Lake area is over, he will go to the town where Miss Mia Gold's family is located:
"I'm really curious about that lady."
He holds the lively cat to prevent it from digging its paws into his teacup:
"In the spring, because of my serious illness, and because Miss Gold was too busy to entertain me, the original spring trip was cancelled. This time I will go no matter what. It won't take too long to start from Fort Midhill to the small town on the east coast of the Old Continent."
The chat went on for an hour, during which Luvia repeatedly claimed that she had rested, but Shad and Iluna still did not allow her to toss a coin.It was not until 10:30 in the morning that the fourth coin finally flew into the sky.
But at the same time that the coin fell and quickly scattered into fly ash, the girl with purple eyes suddenly groaned in pain, and then the corner of her mouth overflowed with blood:
"It's okay, I'm okay. I've seen too much."
Xia De hurriedly supported her, and Iluna handed her her handkerchief, and stuck her back with a hand with warm sun rays, which is a healing thaumaturgy.
However, Luvia's condition is not as bad as they imagined. It's not that there is something wrong with the divination itself, but that she saw something very dangerous:
"This decisive battle is definitely more dangerous and troublesome than in the Randall Valley. No matter how powerful the polluted guardian was in the Randall Valley, even if he could be divided into thousands, he was essentially just one individual. But now, beside Laplace Klein Howard, there are at least five things that surpass the thirteenth ring."
