Chapter 97 Baptism, Adeline's Entanglement

"Hehehe, are you willing to repair Adeline's favorite doll?"

In a daze, Adeline's aggrieved little face seemed to appear in front of Lucian.

She stood in front of Lucian, holding up the rag doll in her hand. "Lillia said she was in pain..."

"Get lost!" Lucian's mind roared, and then Adeline's figure seemed to disappear in an instant. He quickly opened his eyes.

It was quiet all around. Adeline didn't seem to plan to show up, but hid in some corner.

The statue of Tuso, the Moon Wolf, was still standing quietly, as if the strange space he had just fallen into and what he had encountered in the space were all just his imagination.

But the pain in his spiritual sea was so real that even when Lucian slowly stood up, he still felt his body swaying uncontrollably.

“Hmm.” Lucian covered his head with his hands. When he raised his head and looked around, he found that everyone else was also lying on the ground. In fact, he was the first one to wake up among them.

"Oh, right... rituals and badges." Lucian thought of something, and he quickly looked at his space ring, but found that all the badges inside had disappeared.

Lucian took a few unsteady steps forward, but he felt as if he was walking on cotton and his whole body was light and ethereal.

He had no choice but to sit down again. After a long while, Lucian slowly came back to his senses. Although his spiritual sea still felt a little shaken, he no longer felt the confused and dazed feeling just now.

It was only when Lucian came out of the chaotic state that he noticed that the surrounding environment had changed.

Except that the ground beneath their feet was still the same ground, they must have left the blooming flower of judgment and came to a sky island above the clouds.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to act as an "elevator". Just when their mental power was pulled into that mysterious space by the statue of Tuso, the Moon Wolf, it pushed them all the way up from the ground to the sky island where they are now.

"Being able to blend illusion and reality without even noticing the slightest flaw, I'm afraid that ancient fairy's research on witchcraft and illusion has reached an incredible level. I really want to see with my own eyes the ancient fairy who designed this relic."

Lucian looked down at the Flower of Judgment, which had become a tiny dot, with amazement in his eyes.

While Lucian was looking at the sky island below him, other wizard apprentices and half-elves also woke up one after another.

However, their mental strength was much weaker than Lucian's, so although they were conscious at this time, their bodies were still in a limp state. Their mental strength and will were under shock, and they couldn't even control themselves to get up.

The only one in relatively good condition was Carly.

However, she relied on the two purple leaf talismans integrated into the palms of her hands. Under the protection of the purple halo released by these two talismans, Carly's spiritual sea was affected much less than that of others.

Soon, she stood up shakily, and saw Lucian standing on the edge of the platform, looking down.

"Mentor Lucian." Carly called out softly.

Lucian turned his head and looked at Carly, but his attention was more focused on the faint purple halo surrounding Carly.

"Let's go and receive the greatest gift inside this relic." Lucian looked at Carly, patted her shoulder gently, and then pointed to the relatively intact ancient building on the sky island.

In front of this building, there is a giant dragon statue emitting the same material as the Moon Wolf statue.

If Lucian's guess was correct, the building behind the statue should be the so-called "Mira's Blessing", a fairy baptismal pool representing baptism and rebirth.

clack clack...

After using the silver token as a "key" to open the building that had been sealed for who knows how many years, Lucian's interior furnishings appeared before his eyes.

However, what surprised Lucian was that the interior of this building was more like an enlarged version of a study.

"There are many books, most of which are about the development and research of the bloodline of the elves." Lucian looked at these special books woven with special leaves or plant fibers and carefully flipped through a few of them. These books have decayed to varying degrees over a long period of time, and some books made of poor materials have completely turned to powder. A light poke will reveal a large cloud of dust.

On the table in the center of the study, there is a set of quaint and exquisite experimental instruments. It seems that the original owner of the room would also conduct experiments and research here. One can even see some traces of drafts similar to temporary writing and seal carving on the table.

However, these were not what Lucian was looking for and expecting. What he wanted to find was the core control center of the secret realm or the fairy reincarnation pool that Bennett and others had always been thinking about. However, these two things were not found inside this building, which made Lucian feel a little disappointed.

It was not until Lucian looked at Carly that he discovered that she was attracted by a decorative oil painting, staring at the moon spirit holding a graceful sword in the painting.

Lucian's heart moved, and he grabbed Carly's wrist directly, then gently placed her hand, which was emitting a purple halo, on the oil painting.

The halo on Carly's wrist became brighter, and the next moment, a gentle suction force pulled Carly and Lucian into another space.

This is a beautiful forest, and in the center of the forest, there is a clear spring with silver light.

Below the clear spring, the water gathered into a small pond, and on the edge of the pond, there were many patterns engraved in the style of ancient fairies. If you look closely, you can find that these patterns are interconnected and combined into a special witch formation. In the center of the pond, there is an ancient crystal coffin half floating above the water.

There are actually a few beauty clams living around the pond. They are now gathered at the edge of the pond, with their shells spread out to reveal the soft curves inside, as if they are bathing in the sunlight filtered through the forest.

When they saw the two strangers, Lucian and Carly, the little beauties did not run away. Instead, they looked at them with curiosity. It was not until Lucian and the others came very close that the little guys jumped into the pond one after another.

Buzz—the purple halo emanating from the palms of Carly's hands was connected to the magic circle arranged inside the pond, making this ancient magic circle gradually show signs of revival.

"It seems... this is the fairy baptism pool." Lucian looked at the small pond, then looked at Carly beside him and rubbed her head.

“Go ahead.” Lucian looked encouraging.

Carly felt the strong call from within and took two steps forward, but soon stopped, trotted back, and hugged Lucian tightly. Then, as if she was afraid that Lucian would be angry, she quickly turned back and jumped into the pool with a splash.

"Idiot, I asked you to lie in the crystal coffin, not swim in the pool." Lucian looked at Carly, who had a confused look on her face after waiting for a while. He picked up a small stone and threw it into the water with some amusement. The splashing water just happened to affect Carly.

Carly then entered the crystal coffin as if she had just woken up from a dream. Then the witch formation seemed to be completely activated, and the crystal coffin gradually closed and slowly sank to the bottom of the pond.

Carly, who was lying inside the crystal coffin, raised her head slightly and looked at Lucian at first, but soon under the influence of witchcraft, Carly's consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

“I guess that when I see Carly next time, she will have transformed into a real fairy. With the continuous transformation of her bloodline, she will naturally be promoted to a formal wizard-level moon spirit.” Lucian’s eyes were slightly dazed, and he thought of Carly’s cautious look when he first saw her.

However, when he looked down at the crystal coffin that had sunk to the bottom of the water, he found that his reflection in the water had disappeared, and in its place was Adeline holding a broken rag doll. The latter was holding the Lilia doll with a broken arm, as if asking for help from Lucian, or making a silent accusation to Lucian.

"Are you Adeline's friend? Can you help Adeline?" Adeline's voice was still so clear and pleasant on the water surface, even a little pitiful.

Lucian picked up a stone expressionlessly and threw it hard into the water.

The stone caused the water surface to vibrate, and the ripples directly destroyed the calmness of the water surface, causing damage to Adeline's medium. Soon, Adeline's figure on the water surface disappeared, and Lucian's own reflection was revealed.

"This is really troublesome. I guess I'll have to find a way to get rid of this little thing after returning to the academy." Lucian frowned. It was obvious that the nightmare creature named Adeline had now completely set its sights on him. Given the nightmare creature's inherent paranoia, it was likely that it would continue to entangle with him until it got rid of him.

Now this little guy is only bothering me through dreams, water surface, mirrors and other media, but as it grows, it is inevitable that it will do some more outrageous things, and I need to be prepared.

However, how to deal with Adeline's hidden danger is something I will deal with after returning to the academy, but now...

Lucian turned his attention to the beauty clams that were cautiously observing him through the water, and a harmless smile appeared on his face.

The time waiting for Kali to complete her baptism seemed to be a good time to prepare potions and improve her spiritual power. And now, these thoughtful raw materials seemed to remind Lucian that they were ready.
