Taking advantage of the free time today, after Xia De and Rezia went out together, the first stop was Old John's **** shop. Not only did he spend more than 100 pounds to order a sufficiently strong alchemy crossbow from the old man, he also purchased the materials needed for "Moonlight Water" and "Sunfire".
Gem Shad has his own, and Huntington has gained a lot. As for those special materials, although it may be cheaper to buy them at Lengshui Port, Xia De is not in the mood to wait at this time.
He decided to arrange the ceremony in his attic. The windows of the attic can let the sun at noon and the moonlight at midnight shine directly on the ceremony matrix. Because the positions of the moonlight and sunlight are different in different seasons, in order to prevent himself from getting the wrong position, Xia De also went to find Luvia together with Rezia.
The purple-eyed girl is proficient in astrology. After learning that Xia De needed help, she asked for leave and followed him back to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.
Shad and Rezia built the main body of the ceremony, and Luvia relied on the astrology equipment on the third floor to calculate the best location in the attic.
In the end, Xia De moved a wooden round table, and Luvia used a file to outline a star map on the dark brown tabletop, then filled the depression with silver powder, and finally poured mercury. After being treated with a special technique, the entire tabletop presents a strange silver aesthetic, and at the two symmetrical positions of the round table, there are respectively reserved circular areas outlined by mercury, where ceremonies related to the sun and the moon are to be arranged.
This makes the entire table look more like the back of the Rhodes card, but in fact the "sun, moon, and stars" pattern on the back of the Rhodes card itself is some kind of brilliant astrological ritual.
After the ceremony was arranged, it was half past eleven in the morning. Luvia adjusted the position of the table again to ensure that the sun and moonlight could shine on the table from the window this season. Next, Xia De only needs to customize a special rotating wooden table, and then connect the table top for the ceremony to the surface of the rotating wooden table.
In this way, in different seasons, he only needs to rotate the angle of the desktop to adapt to the positions of the sun and the moon at noon and midnight.
As the time approached noon on Sunday, the three people who were looking forward to it were waiting in the attic for the effect of the ceremony.
As Xia De's "time perception" accurately captured the moment when noon approached, a faint spark actually appeared in the transparent crystal bead in the center of the ritual matrix representing the "Sunfire" ceremony.
"Water of Moonlight" is stored in crystal containers, while "Fire of the Sun" is stored in crystal beads. Both can store up to a week's supply, Shad just remembers to charge it once a week.
"Water of Moonlight" is a liquid, and a larger-capacity crystal container can be used for long-term storage. The "fire of the sun" itself is a flame and cannot be used in an ordinary container, so Shade stored it in the old lantern that Sister Devlin had given him to store fire (Chapter 831).
The nuns not only need the firewood for the first fire, but also need the "different fire" for the first fire to swallow.
The sky was shrouded in gray mist, and the clouds also cut down on the sun's rays. The "sun fire" produced at noon was only a faint spark. This weak spark caused the "primordial fire" in Xia De's body to react. Obviously, like the "flame fire", this is also a flame that can be swallowed by the primary fire, but because there is only a little spark at present, so Xia De It was not given to Sister Diveline.
"Apocalypse"
"Swallowing flames, as long as you are not burned to death, you can sublimate your own abilities related to flames; igniting a bonfire, you can disperse undead and evil ghosts within a certain range; attaching to weapons, you can make weapons possess within a certain period of time" Holy, Fire, Evil Buster, etc.”
Xia De held the old-fashioned lantern and explained the function of the spark to the two girls with a smile. Of course, the prerequisite for these functions is that there must be enough flames.
Therefore, although these two brand new ceremonies are very important to Xia De, they will not play a big role for the time being.
Fortunately, foreigners quite understand the meaning of "accumulating less makes more", and they are happy to wait for the harvest. Although this gave him the illusion that he was "planting vegetables" in the attic and "collecting vegetables" every now and then, this kind of waiting was very satisfying.
In order to thank the two girls for their help, the three had lunch together at Silver Cross Avenue at noon. Although the relationship between the three of them was actually quite delicate due to the great crime committed by foreigners, both Rezia and Luvia behaved normally during lunch.
After lunch, Luvia continued to go to work, and the blonde girl accompanied Xia De to do errands in the city, leisurely enjoying the winter time in the "City of Steam" and "Pearl of the Northland" without worrying about livelihood and work.
In the evening, the two of them and the cat had dinner outside again, and then went for a walk in the university district with a better view. At about seven o'clock, Xia De sent Rezia back to Quill Avenue.
This beautiful day made Her Royal Highness quite satisfied:
"It's nice to take time out once in a while to relax like this."
She hugged Shad downstairs in Dorothy's rented apartment, and Shad noticed that the landlady was looking at the two dissatisfiedly from the window on the second floor.
"Tomorrow night, Opera House, never forget."
The princess emphasized in a low voice in Xia De's ear, and then pushed him with a smile, making him stumble back down the steps:
She seemed to want to end this perfect day with a kiss. But Rezia also noticed the landlady who was watching them on the second floor. For Dorothy's reputation, she finally just pressed her gloved right index finger on the red lips, and then blew a kiss to Shad.
The apartment Dorothy rented was only rented out to single women, and Shad was questioned by the landlady every time he entered the door. Dorothy once said that the landlady was warm but rigid, and cared a lot about the personal morals of the rented girls, so even Rezia was a little "afraid" of that enthusiastic lady.
Returning home with a good mood, after washing, the hard-working foreigner did not go to bed early to welcome the arrival of Monday, but read in front of the fireplace until midnight.
Sleeping late was not because he wanted to review better, but because Xia De was also thinking about what the "Water of Moonlight" was.
At midnight, Xia De, who was in pajamas, climbed up to the attic with the cat who was very energetic at night. The attic was not turned on, and the bright moonlight illuminated the tabletop of the round table from the window, and the starlight made the astrology ceremony arranged by Luvia shimmer slightly. Equally radiant was the faint fire in the old-fashioned lantern, as well as the silver-white aura produced by the lunar ritual.
That scene was so quiet and powerful that Xia De froze for a moment before walking towards the table.
At the bottom of the transparent crystal bottle in the center of the ceremony, a shallow layer of very small amount of silver liquid has appeared at this time. In the dark night, the "Moonlight" glows slightly. Its texture is very similar to mercury, but it is undeniably very beautiful.
"About half a dozen orchids (0.5dr≈1.8ml). Among today's moon phases, March tends to be full, so the amount is a little more."
Xia De calculated in his mind, but he only considered the amount, and did not directly calculate the gold pounds. He didn't intend to sell the "Water of Moonlight" and "Fire of the Sun" to anyone. Even if he didn't use these two precious substances, he would be very happy to store them.
"Meow~"
Miya nimbly jumped onto the tabletop with luminous star patterns, shrunk her head timidly, looked at the Mars in the old-fashioned lantern for a while, and looked at the liquid at the bottom of the bottle in Xia De's hand for a while, her eyes were full of desire Craving to try it out.
"How should this precious liquid be used?"
Xia De thought in his heart, glanced at the liquid at the moon outside the window, and thought of his sealed spirit rune. So, he carefully pulled out the crystal plug, and poured the liquid directly into his mouth.
"Oh~"
Even if the amount is very small, the refreshing feeling still sweeps the whole body immediately. The comfort at this moment made him groan, which made the cat squatting on the table widen its eyes, and let out a few anxious but obedient meows.
The taste of that liquid is hard to describe, if you really want to give adjectives, Xia De can only describe it with two non-taste words "soft" and "cool". The moment I drank it, I felt great, as if I was really bathing in the moonlight and absorbing the power of the moon.
He raised his left hand, letting the silver moonlight radiate slightly from his left hand, and vaguely felt that his understanding of the power of [Silver Moon] seemed to be deeper.
"Drinking it for a long time will definitely greatly enhance all my moon-related powers."
Xia De sighed in his heart, and the "she" beside his ear also gave a hint:
[The power of Red Moon is still sealed, but if you can drink about 90 to 120 times the amount at one time, the spirit rune has a chance to unseal it. 】
"About three to four months?"
Although it has been a little longer, at least there is hope ~www.mtlnovel.com~ This makes Xia De feel even better. And the amount is more than 100 times the amount just now, which is only close to 200ml. Xia De felt that if he really did that, he might experience the feeling of truly "melting" in the moon.
"I don't have much right now. I'll let you taste it when I save some. As for the fire, Sister Devlin and Yin Luna probably need it, so I can't give it to you. Besides, good cats can't play with fire. "
Putting the expensive crystal bottle back in the center of the ritual array, Xia De picked up Miya and said with a smile. Since this cat has absorbed a trace of divine power, it should be fine to drink this special liquid.
The cat probably understood Xia De's words, and it meowed obediently again, then leaned its little furry head against the chest of Xia De's pajamas.
Compared with the rewards given by the previous time key mission, although there is no thaumaturgy this time, the two rituals are quite useful. Looking at the moon outside the window, Xia De couldn't help thinking about what kind of rewards [Father of the Infinite Tree] would give in the future.
The various strange powers given by this ancient **** are not limited to "tree" and "time", and the power given to Shad is always what Shad needs most.
"What kind of story will you encounter with the next key?"
He was ready to rest with the cat in his arms. The first day of the last month of 1853 in the general calendar officially ended. This Sunday was also a perfect day for Shad.
