Chapter 1052 Nun Fire and Double Butterflies (seeking tickets)
Holding the box in one hand and the oil lamp in the other, Xia De, led by Sister Devlin, passed the elevator inside the sacrificial ground to the real "first fire sacrificial ground" on the ground floor.

The flames of the primordial fire were burning in the center of the upward circular sacrificial field. The nun's weapon [Ash] long sword was inserted obliquely in the center of the bonfire, and the flame licked the strange long sword.

"Offer firewood."

A blind nun in a gray nun's robe stood beside the brazier, her silver blindfold reflecting the dancing, unstable flame.

Shard handed the nun the ampoule containing the "devil's wreckage," and the nun stuck her right hand into the flames.The first fire ignited her right hand almost immediately. At the same time as the burn marks appeared, the cracks on the skin surface covered the nun's whole body from the flames, and sparks appeared on the tips of the decayed long gray hair.

Sister Divelin, who was ignited by the first fire, also put her left hand into the flames of the bonfire.As the "devil's wreckage" held in both hands was completely swallowed, the weak flame rushed upwards, as if celebrating the new firewood being ignited.

At the same time, traces of "embers of the first fire" also appeared on Xia De's body surface, and the strength of the original fire also made the flames in his body stronger.

"Offer the fire."

The nun spoke softly again, her voice was as steady and peaceful as the flowing water of a glacier.

Shade opened the lampshade of the lantern, and Sister Devlin still stretched out her hand directly.This time it was the hands, the hands with the color of magma flowing in the cracked surface, covering the weak flames produced by the "fire of the sun" that had been collected for 8 days in Xia De's house.

Compared with the first fire she guarded, the sun's flame burned the nun's porcelain-like skin more mercilessly.The nun only shivered slightly, but Shad still noticed a flush on her fair cheeks under the blindfold.

The flame was lifted out of the lantern by the nun and sent into the brazier.The two strange flames merged together, and very naturally became the same flame.The first fire fused with the "sun fire" appeared a faint golden color, but soon returned to its original color.

Sister Devlin ignored the burns on her hands and folded her hands inward in the brazier.All the flames then gathered towards her hands, until the flame in her palm became the shape that Shade was familiar with, the circular flame dragging upwards and pulling out the tail of the flame.

She didn't take the "primordial fire" directly into her body, but turned her trembling body towards Xia De:

"The hero who took over the first fire, at this moment, please touch the darkness inside me."

Quite ancient grammar, words that Shad didn't quite understand spoke in a trembling voice.

【She wants to give you strength. 】

"She" said in Xia De's ear with a smile.

Sure enough, the nun with flames flowing all over her body was holding the weak first flame towards Xia De, so Xia De knelt down on one knee and stretched out his right hand between the nun's hands.

At this moment, it is like a hero endowed with strength in an old oil painting.When his hand was between the nun's burned hands, the flames engulfed Shad's right arm as well.

In that flame, the primordial fire endowed Shad with new power:

[Outlander, your cold resistance has been greatly enhanced, and your fire resistance has been greatly enhanced. 】

"Sorry, even with new firewood, the flame is still weak, and I can't provide you with more power."

The nun said softly, she was not as excited as Xia De thought.

"It's ok."

Xia De stood up and looked at the flames between Sister Devlin's hands:

"Although it is not [-]% sure, the ceremony of the fourth chosen person will most likely be held in the Pantanal swamp area. At that time, we will not only have the opportunity to go to the center of the swamp to recover the split Flame, maybe even face the evil thing of the Pantanal."

Sister Devlin showed a faint smile on her face:
"I will act together with the witches, and then you can go to the ceremony site with us."

Xia De nodded, and looked at the [Ash] sword that was still burning in the brazier:
"Sister, I have something to ask you. I know that the [Spiritual Religion] also has a tradition of worshiping the moon. May I ask if you have a way to enhance the perception of the power of the moon? I don't know if you have heard about Tobesk. I'm looking for an item that represents the yellow moon."

The nun nodded:

"Follow me to the library to pick up books. As long as you are interested in the knowledge here, you can borrow it. However, you need additional ritual materials to enhance the perception of the moon."

"Water of Moonlight?"

"Pure moonlight?"

The nun "looked" at Shad:

"That's enough."

"So, do you have a way to temporarily integrate me with the fire of the sun, and then take out the flame when the time is right?"

This is for Miss Chloe, the witch who is trapped in the "Silver Mountains". Shade can't take supernatural items to the past at will, especially if the items are not "quest items".But if he can temporarily assimilate the "Fire of the Sun", then this flame can appear in the past with Xia De just like the first fire.

"The primordial fire can accommodate any flames it has swallowed. This requires the skill of manipulating flames. I will teach you."

Her hand took Xia De's hand, Xia De was startled, and looked up to see that Sister Devlin's face was flushed, but he was not sure if it was an illusion under the dim light.

After bidding farewell to Sister Devlin this afternoon, Xia De went to the Cassandra Auction House to visit Grace and Helen.It is also snowing in Fort Midhill today, and the Red Butterfly Twins are checking the contained relics in the basement with Miss Swift, the Witch Apprentice.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, and before leaving Midhill Castle, Shade finally fulfilled his promise, took Grace and Helen sisters, and borrowed the power of the [Magician's Escape Box] to leave Midhill Castle. Go to No. [-] Place Saint Teresa.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls in black dresses and white dresses were particularly excited about this short trip.And Mia was particularly unhappy that two more strangers had come.

"Sir, is this where you live now?"

Even though Helen, as "Miss Black", once peeked into the place where Detective Sparrow lived, but this time she appeared here with her sister and Shad, and it was still very interesting.

The twin girls didn't ask for more, but dined with Shard at his home, sat in front of the fireplace and listened to his stories, and set off for Midhill Castle at 09:30 in the evening.

And according to the experiment, just as Xia De guessed, the Red Butterfly Twins can use the [Space Maze] to move by touching the statue of the ancient god.

After all, the power of the twins comes from the old god [Twin Gods], and the old god [Twin Gods] carries the power of the ancient god [Original Rift] whose image is "two-headed".Although Grace and Helen did not inherit the power of space, as relics, the source of their power was indeed that ancient god.

After establishing the road sign of No. [-] Saint Teresa Square this time, they will not need to go to Mibao and Xia De's house through the [Magician's Escape Box] in the future.But it is a pity that although the twins can leave Midhill Castle for a short time by following Shad or staying at No. [-] Saint Teresa Square, this short "trip" also told them that they cannot do this frequently .

Therefore, Helen, Grace and Xia De made an agreement to visit Xia De once a month in the future.After Xia De agreed, the two girls kissed Xia De's cheeks from left to right. After saying goodbye to Xia De with a smile, they held hands and touched the statue in the basement, and left here.

"Speaking of which, seeing them this time, they seem to be more mature than last time."

When Xia De walked out of the basement, he thought that when he reached into his pocket, he found a handkerchief he had never seen before.Only then did he realize that this was probably what Helen secretly stuffed into his pocket when they parted.The handkerchief has a black lace edge, and even has the residual heat of body temperature. Among the twins, Helen prefers this color scheme.

[As their injuries heal, their appearance will change towards their true posture, which is in their 20s. 】

"She" said softly, Xia De nodded, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and put it back into his pocket:
"Although this time, they couldn't join me in the final battle of the Chosen Ceremony, but they might be able to help me with something in the future."

[Is this really the only thing you thought of? 】

"She" asked with a smile.

The time came to Wednesday, which is the day of the red butterfly.Xia Deben planned to go to Dorothy early in the morning, and then wait until noon when the day of the red butterfly officially started.But during breakfast, the message sent by Miss Dennister through the pages of the poem manuscript made Shade put down the half-eaten bread and head to the St. Byrence Library through the projection.

It is still the open space in the center of the library, and it is still sitting on a chair facing the coffee table and sofa.After Xia De came back to his senses, he saw the very familiar stone slab on the coffee table at a glance.

Palm-sized, with the ancient rune number "three" on its surface.The four corners are clearly the corners of a large topaz.

The tablet from Mr. Edmund, the number Two and silver corners; the tablet from the Abner Library, the number One and ruby ​​corners.

He even forgot to say hello, and asked in disbelief:
"This is."

The librarian lady put down the teacup:
"Yes, what you are looking for. It is indeed in the library. I found a dozen or so students to help me search for it. It took half a week to find it. There are too many books and treasures in the library of the college. This kind of Items that have not been found to be dangerous and whose value is not clear are often placed in a suitable place by a certain generation of librarians, and no one pays attention to it anymore.”

Miss Denist said, and then told Shad the bad news.

　PS: Helen and Grace also have an exclusive plot, which is probably in the [Space] chapter. Here is a brief visit, on the one hand, for the sake of detail, and on the other hand, because this volume is too long, and I will write something similar It is estimated that there will be more than three hundred chapters.
