Chapter 2671: Ancient God's Holy Emblem and a Date in the Forest (Additional Update at the beginning of the month, please vote)

Seeing that Shade was staring at her, Iluna felt a little embarrassed. She turned her face slightly to the side and said shyly:
"Do I look weird?"

"Not surprising at all, I feel like you've become more beautiful."

Shade took two steps forward and came to Iluna, then moved closer to her face to look at her golden left eye. Contrary to what Shade expected, the golden light in that eye did not fade away, and a closer look showed that the iris of her left eye had turned into a gorgeous golden color.

He told Iluna about his discovery, but Iluna was not bothered by it:
"It's just that the eyes have changed color. It's a small matter. Just cover it up a little."

Shade took out a small mirror and handed it to her so she could look at it herself. Then Iluna looked in the mirror and was even more satisfied:
"When we were in Moon Bay, Ajelina told me that girls in female knight novels all have colorful hair and heterochromatic eyes as a sign of beauty. Although I can't appreciate colorful hair, heterochromatic eyes are really beautiful. And gold and brown are very similar, so I just need to cover it up a little bit."

Seeing that she didn't care, Xia De stopped worrying:

"So what was the result? Besides changing the color of the eyes, there should be other effects, right?"

"Of course!"

Iluna then stared at Shade with her heterochromatic eyes:

"You are a person with a time gift. You should know that if you have the power of time, you will have time resistance. Although I didn't get the Time Spirit Rune, but - time stops!"

She suddenly pointed at Shade, who blinked. Iluna looked at the leaves falling from Shade's side with some embarrassment:
"Time stands still!"

The fallen leaf immediately froze in the air, but as Iluna raised her hand and slashed the leaf into two pieces smoothly, the leaf fell again:
"Everything this eye sees will be stilled. But this cannot be compared with your magic. First of all, it consumes a lot of spirit. Moreover, once the stilled object or creature is touched by something else, it will be immediately released from the stilled state."

However, Shad's "Adele's Time Standstill" must be uncast by him before things can return to normal.

"And this is not a thaumaturgical spell, but more like I have acquired some kind of instinctive talent, yes, just like walking and breathing. I can't use my eyes to stop time often, otherwise my eyesight will continue to deteriorate until I am completely blind."

She covered her left eye:
"So this can only be used as an auxiliary ability, and it is not very valuable in combat. Also, this eye can now see some afterimages left over from the past, especially those areas with strong traces of vital elements. I can see more, but I don't know how to use this ability yet. I need to practice. It's really beautiful, right?"

She asked happily, and Xia De smiled and nodded:

"Of course it's beautiful. But don't worry about losing your eyesight. Even if you really become blind, I can still make you another eye."

Iluna then slapped him, not knowing what she meant:
"Now let's test my time resistance, Shade, cast a spell on me with all your strength."

"Well, I'll summon the Life Ring first - Adele's time stops!"

As a click sound came from the void, Iluna's golden left eye suddenly lit up, and then the girl with long brown hair moved her neck in surprise:
"You didn't stop me! We succeeded! This method really works."

Then she opened her arms with joy and hugged Xia De. Seeing that Xia De also hugged her, she felt even better.

"What I'm more curious about is why did you drip my blood into your eyes just now? Is this also a step in the ritual you obtained?"

Shade asked a final question, but Iluna couldn't answer it either, but she felt that it would be useful to do so at the time.

At this time, the blood in the bottle had been completely used up, and not even a trace of it was left on the altar with mottled shadows of trees. The wind in the forest had completely stopped just now, but now it started to blow again.

The rustling sound of leaves and branches seemed to bring the two back to the ordinary world from the "myth" just now. When Xia De looked back at the altar, he was a little dazed for a moment, and he actually saw a flash of light on the altar.

【It’s not an illusion. 】

"She" reminded softly, and Shade let go of Iluna in her puzzled eyes and walked quickly to the altar. He reached out and brushed away the fallen leaves that fell on the altar after Iluna stood up, and then he was surprised to see a golden holy emblem under the leaves.

The golden scale pattern was engraved on it, and the ancient miracle element seemed to be more vicissitudes than the ruins of this temple. Iluna also came over and recognized what it was together with Shade:
"The holy emblem of the ancient god - [Hanging Judge]! But why is it here?"

This is the temple of the old god [God of Order], not the temple of the ancient god. And just now, both of them were very sure that there was absolutely no holy emblem on the altar, otherwise Iluna lying on it would definitely feel it.

Shade signaled Iluna to pick up the holy emblem, and after checking it, Iluna confirmed that it was indeed the holy emblem of the ancient gods with power. Although it was unclear why the holy emblem suddenly appeared here, since it appeared, Shade regarded it as a gift from the old gods to Iluna.

In fact, no one is more qualified than Iluna to hold this holy emblem, and sometimes it is better not to get too clear about the affairs of God.

"Shad, do you still remember the [Inquisitor's Court]? That special space requires three people to enter before it can be used. One person acts as the judge, and one person acts as the audience. The last person can judge himself and exchange anything he has for what he wants, including his body, soul, strength, lifespan, property, experience, memory, and achievements."

Iluna held the holy emblem and said:

"I don't need any conditions to enter, but others need a holy symbol as a key. I have been trying to find a holy symbol since last year, but I have never found one until now. This way, as long as we find another holy symbol, we can use the place!"

"But we're still missing the door."

Shade reminded, and Iluna smiled and shook her head:
"Although I am not like the Chosen One of the Earth or the Chosen One of Light, who can grant a door to your Impermanence Card, I have the power to open a door at will. I know the spell, and where I am is equivalent to the existence of a door. I also have the spirit rune, and we only lack the final key, and we can finally use that place!"

The Holy Emblem of the Ancients is temporarily placed in Illuna's hands. Carrying this holy emblem will passively enhance her spellcasting ability, which is almost equivalent to a permanent effect.

The purpose of this trip has now been perfectly achieved. Iluna has gained time resistance and obtained the holy emblem. As for this ancient temple of the God of Order, Shad and Iluna discussed and decided to hide it again.

They checked the illusion ritual in the temple and confirmed that it could be reactivated. When the two stood outside the temple and looked at the open space where the temple was located, which had turned into a gap between two large trees again, the 18-year-old girl sighed:
“I wonder how many years it will be before someone visits here again.”

It was only 1:10 in the afternoon and there was still early time. Shad followed the agreement made in the morning and spent the rest of the Thursday day with Iluna in this woodland far away from civilized society.

They went upstream along the stream beside the ruins to find the source of the stream;
They encountered a running wild boar in the forest, and it was kicked over by Iluna and almost became tonight's dinner;

They also observed the squirrels carrying food for the winter, and after the squirrels left the "storage room", they maliciously replaced all the acorns and pine nuts stored in the tree holes with twice the amount of chestnuts and melon seeds.

They even waited patiently for the squirrel to come back, and then laughed together when they saw the squirrel's surprised look after it opened the tree hole.

In this woodland far from the city, no one was so blind as to disturb their date. Iluna had been worried that her "bad luck" would attract unknown relics, but nothing happened for the whole afternoon.

Shad even transformed into a moonlight dragon, let Iluna sit on his head, and flew for a short while under the cover of illusion.

When Shade turned back into a human form in the air, the two held hands and floated down together using the Feather Fall Technique, and Shade kissed her in the air...

It can be seen that Iluna was quite excited. When the sun set, the two of them appeared hand in hand downstairs of the Accordion Hotel in the city center. Iluna felt that this date was not over yet:

"Sometimes it feels like time goes by very quickly, but sometimes it feels like time goes by very slowly. Shade, will we come out and play together again in the future?"

"Of course, and it's not over yet. There will be dancing at the wedding banquet tonight. Don't you want to dance with me?"

Miss Danister and Miss Winslet were waiting for them to come back at the hotel, and when they saw Iluna's heterochromatic eyes, the two ladies expressed different surprises, but no one asked them in detail what they had done.

"Now that you're back, Ms. Shad, go pack up quickly. We'll be leaving in half an hour."

The witch urged, she had basically changed her clothes and just needed to take care of her hair later.

"Ms. Beas, did you bring your dress?"

Because she had just decided to attend the party this morning, she was very considerate and asked the eighteen-year-old girl.

Iluna looked at Shade, who nodded:
"I'll bring it for her. We'll go change our clothes now. I hope we'll have a good night. We're going to observe York Bronte tonight."

After saying that, she and Iluna went to different rooms to change clothes. After the witch had finished packing, she approached the red-haired girl who stayed behind tonight and said:

"Look, Xia De actually brought her clothes with him. I said that their relationship must be special."

Danister looked at her friend:
"Have you been getting more and more curious recently? So what if the relationship is not ordinary?"
