"Where?"
Luvia pointed upwards:
"Of course we're going to the rooftop of your house. If anyone sees us, we can just say we were just looking at the stars and chatting."
She waved at Xia De, signaling Xia De to take action:
"Come to think of it, I haven't gone to the roof with you to look at the stars yet, Shade, is your roof comfortable to sit on?"
Shade could answer this question, and he could even tell which area of the roof was the most comfortable and windproof to lie down on. Of course, that was something that could only be done in dreams, and in the real world, Shade still preferred to sit on the roof with Luvia and look at the stars, provided that the air wasn't too bad tonight.
So early Tuesday morning, when Shad showed up at the Accordion Inn with a sword in hand, he had good news for the two ladies:
"There has been some progress regarding the demons, and it's a big one. Luvia performed a very successful divination last night."
His mind briefly recalled the grand scene of last night, as if the entire starry sky was moved, but except for the two people on the roof at that time, it seemed as if the whole world did not notice:
"She helped locate the remaining two fragments of the demon. My friend who is very good at dealing with demons also said that he would come over on Wednesday night, which is tomorrow night. In this way, the demon matter will be over tomorrow, and then it will be Emilia's matter."
The two ladies who were about to say hello to Xia De looked at each other, both of them a little bit unbelieving:
"Tell me more carefully, where is the devil?"
Xia De drew his sword and waved it around, making sure it was all right before speaking:
"Speaking of which, our analysis last night actually made sense. I mean the demon trying to set the entire continent on fire. It has done a lot of things in the three hundred years it has been lurking in the Vista Forest.
Do you remember the reasons why Prince William of Anjou came to this place? The illegitimate son of the royal family was only the most important reason. In fact, he was also responsible for investigating the restorationists of Derinor. "
The "Derrin'ol Restorationists" refer to the descendants of the "Derrin'ol Kingdom" that was finally annexed when the Carsenrick United Kingdom unified the entire southern region:
"We didn't care about this before and just treated it as a fun fact, but actually... well, one of the demon's splinters is hiding among the Derin'or Restorationists, and is now in Vista Forest.
Luvia's divination did not directly indicate the identity of the other party. She just said that a little investigation would reveal who it was. The other party tried to set the entire continent on fire, so she must not be just a tea lady. "
Flora's expression became slightly more serious;
"And what about the other one? Has he disguised himself as a noble and sneaked into Willendel?"
"No, no, no. The church won't allow such a thing to happen. In fact, I think the demon chose the forest as its base because it is closest to the capital, but it won't attract the church's attention immediately."
He thanked Miss Bell for the cup of tea:
"The last demon clone is deep in the forest. Luvia's explanation is rather obscure:
It combined a quarter of its core with the power of this violent and disordered forest, turning it into a forest disaster that was almost a natural phenomenon. The burning trees that the hermits found in the forest were the embodiment of its power. The power of the devil was reviving, and the fire was completely out of control and wanted to show its power.
Shade concluded:
"My use of the power of sin in this area is only a trigger for the long-lurking fire demon to appear. In fact, the demon itself is about to take many actions at this time.
The whole old world was now like a powder keg, and it placed a part of itself in the house of Condé, and with the help of the so-called treasure of the House of Hoy, it was influencing Willendel;
It placed a part of itself among the Delingor Restorationists, trying to create more disasters by instigating conflicts;
It places a part of itself deep in the forest, trying to use the power of the woodland to recover and grow itself;
Finally, there is the one trapped in the deserted village. A hunter sealed it a hundred years ago. I think this has greatly delayed its recovery. Otherwise, the situation we will face may be more complicated than it is now. "
"Political forces are involved, so we have to be more careful in handling it."
Flora reminded him, and Shade nodded:
"But I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about the one deep in the forest that Luvia mentioned. Luvia told me that it was the craziest, but also the most powerful split of the demon.
And she saw some very difficult to explain images when she was fortune-telling. The general meaning was that the devil's forest fire incarnation received some kind of power from the forest, and thus had a very special identity and power in this forest. "
In his mind, the scene of standing on the roof with Luvia last night, watching her stretch out her hand as if she could touch the starry sky directly, appeared again.
The red-haired girl questioned:
"Isn't that right? Although those ancient evil spirits are terrifying, from what I have learned, they will not easily come into contact with other forces. In other words, any force other than evil spirits and demons is quite resistant to them. They are enemies of almost all life."
Xia De couldn't explain it clearly:
"Luvia said that the thing that gave the demons their power was very, very strong, and very, very old. After she used the stars to divine, she finally tried divination with the divining cards, and the results pointed to this."
He pulled out a book from his pocket. It was "Riverwood Town and the World Tree" that he bought at a charity auction:
"This book contains a lot of seemingly plausible content, which is the same as what Professor Yuk Wood said. The third section of the book records an ancient legend of Ximu Town. I won't read it out, but the meaning is roughly:
The giant trees in the forest are guarded by many symbols of natural forces, including the earth, water, fire and wind. The anonymous scholar who wrote this book believes that this represents the enlightenment of the most primitive nature worship and also symbolizes the establishment of a nature worship system with the worship of giant trees as the core.
But Luvia thought that this might also mean that the remains of the World Tree scattered around the area might have shared some of its power with other monsters entrenched in the forest. Although there might not be only four, and they might not even correspond to the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, the demon's clone should be one of them."
This judgment contained too much speculation and subjective assumptions. Even if Luvia was a fortune teller, the two ladies still couldn't believe it. But at least this provided a new direction for investigation. If they could use evidence to prove Luvia's fortune-telling, the rest would be very simple.
The investigation of the Derin'or Restorationists was relatively simple. There weren't many of them in the local area to begin with. By contacting Margaret and reading the Gray Gloves' investigation materials, it was entirely possible to identify every suspect and eliminate their identities.
As for the so-called demon that had almost become a natural phenomenon in the woods, Shad did not want to come into contact with it personally, for fear of being noticed by the other party.
"But if you don't make contact, how can you be sure of the other person's existence?"
Flora asked in confusion, and Shade turned to look out the window:
"Wait a moment, okay? I'm coming. Miss Bell, could you please pick someone up downstairs?"
So the young witch apprentice pushed the door open and walked out. Soon, she came back with the beautiful blonde opera singer. Vanessa Benanis looked at the three people in the room curiously, then waved to them:
"Good morning, Flora; good morning, Miss Danister."
The Witch of the Earth smiled and greeted, while Shade asked:
"Emilia has already taken you through that 'Proof of Time' ritual, right?"
"Of course, and she doesn't admit that she is Emilia. Look at this."
She fiddled with the hourglass pendant on her robe. In addition to the name engraved on the tree, this time-related artifact was also one of the "proofs" that would prevent her from being affected by the twisted tree hole:
"Okay, Shad, when do we start sensing the earth? Although it is convenient to come here from the space maze, I promised Dorothy to go and read the script she wrote in the afternoon, so it would be best if we can finish it before noon."
She smiled and said to the Great Witch of Death who had already stood up:
"I really hope to have lunch here with Flora. Apart from the last time I came to rescue, I haven't been to Vista Woodland for a long time, but I still remember that the mushrooms here in autumn are very delicious."
"Vanessa, why are you here? The Speaker said that I will be in charge of everything here for the time being."
The witch with gray-black hair said this, but everyone knew what she meant.
"Of course the Speaker said so, but when there was a conflict between Shade's ideas and the Speaker's ideas, I chose Shade's ideas, so I was invited by Shade to survey the land."
Miss Vanessa waved her hand:
"But don't worry, I'll leave soon after I finish this matter, and you'll still be the only witch here. But do you need me to remind you? With the 'Proof of Time' ceremony, everyone will be here by this weekend at the latest, so Flora, cherish this last moment."
The powers of the ancient gods overlapped, which Shade had learned many times before. In theory, both the "Father of Infinite Trees" and the "Mother Earth Goddess" had the power of "nature", but their emphases were different.
In addition, the "Father of Infinite Trees" is well-known as the God of Time, so the ancient gods of nature that are usually mentioned generally refer to the "Mother Goddess of the Earth."
Therefore, for the 13th-level Earth Witch, the forest is also her home ground. After Luvia's divination last night, she suggested that Shade ask Vanessa for help, so that this 13th-level witch could sense the earth and nature to determine whether there are powerful abnormal individuals related to fire in the forest.
