Looking at the incomplete moon in the sky, Dorothy made a series of inferences in her mind. For now, the idea of the corresponding door of this moon is the most consistent with the description of this prayer. If all these inferences are correct, this riddle prayer is almost deciphered. In a burst of excitement, she couldn't help but stand up from her chair and looked at the shadow of the incomplete moon on the lake. After staring at it for a while, her eyes couldn't help but freeze again.
'No, if the reflection of the moon on the lake is the door to the temple, then I still have to climb on the lake to have a chance to enter the door? Now at night, the entire lake is completely blocked by the eight peaks. I dare not even send a mosquito corpse into it, so how can I find the position of the reflection on the lake? '
Although Dorothy seemed to be cheered up by the interpretation of the Mirror Moon Order's prayer, her face darkened again when she realized that she would have to find a way to get on the surface of the lake in the end, and her expression became very serious. This conclusion was undoubtedly very bad news for her. She originally thought that after interpreting the prayer, she could find a way to bypass the lake and enter the temple, but in the end she still had to get on the surface of the lake.
If Dorothy's interpretation is correct, then the door to the temple will exist in the perfect position at each moon phase when viewed from the top of Guanhu Mountain in Star Lake. The moon will only come out after dark, which means that I can only have a chance to find the door if I am in the correct position above the lake after dark, but this is too dangerous.
Just as she had an idea to break the deadlock, she soon encountered obstacles again. For a moment, Dorothy felt unusually troubled. Facing the waning moon in the sky and its reflection in the lake, she began to meditate deeply.
"Moon phases... night... reflections... lake surface... sky... oh yeah..."
As Dorothy thought about it, some thoughts arose in her heart. As she thought about this thought, her eyes widened slightly.
…
A few days later, southwest of Tivian, Gramorn.
During the day, on the outskirts of Gramorne, on the west side of Star Lake, on the top of Lakeview Mountain, there were still many citizens gathered on the observation deck on the top of the mountain for a picnic and to enjoy the view. Dorothy's corpse was once again mixed in with them.
On the grass in a grove somewhere by the Star Lake, Dorothy, wearing a light-colored dress and a sun hat, sat with a corpse of herself, slowly enjoying the toast in the picnic basket in front of her, just like an ordinary family girl taken out for an outing by her father.
At this moment, Dorothy was eating a picnic while looking at the calm surface of Star Lake through the puppet vision on the top of the lake viewing mountain, the rowing boats on it and the reflections of the mountains and the sun, as if she was looking for something.
"Then... let me see where it is. The invisible shadow on the lake..."
After taking another bite of the toast in her hand, Dorothy murmured softly that now she was looking for the reflection of the moon on the lake, trying to find the door leading to the temple from the moon shadow in the lake.
Although it is daytime now, looking around, the entire lake is illuminated by the sunlight shining directly from the sky. The lake surface reflects the surrounding mountains and the clear sky. There is no trace of the moon at all. There is only the shining sun in the sky, emitting dazzling light, and there is no trace of the moon at all.
It was not yet nightfall at this hour. Logically, even if Dorothy wanted to look for the moon's shadow on the lake, she should not look for it at this time. If she wanted to see the moon and the moon's shadow in the lake, she should wait until nightfall.
Of course, this is what most people would think. From Dorothy's current perspective, there is a shadow of the moon on the lake, but this reflection is almost invisible. This is exactly what is mentioned in the prayer, the invisible moon shadow leading to the invisible door.
'If, for example... each gate in the prayer corresponds to a phase of the moon, then what does the first invisible gate correspond to? The full moon is the moon gate, the waxing moon is the full moon gate, the crescent moon is the longbow gate, the arc moon is the sickle gate... then the last one left is the new moon, so the so-called invisible gate can only correspond to the new moon.
'During the new moon, or the moment of conjunction, there is no moon phase in the sky opposite to the full moon in the lunar phase. In the night sky on the new moon day, no trace of the moon can be seen. This is because the moon has changed its position between the sun and the earth in this world, and has turned its back to the sun among the planets. People in the dark area can no longer see it.
'However, the fact that the moon cannot be seen does not mean that it does not exist. On the new moon day, the moon is between the sun and the earth, on the daytime side of the earth. People on the back of the earth cannot see it, but people on the front of the earth cannot see the moon in the daytime because the sun's light is too strong and dazzling, and the sun covers the moon's existence. Only when the sun, the earth and the moon are at the right angles, and the sun and the moon are near the intersection of the ecliptic at the same time, when a solar eclipse occurs, can the moon be perceived by people during the day.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart. At this moment, she slightly pulled down the sun hat on her head, slightly blocking the strong light in the sky and looking at the daytime sky, as if she was looking at the moon that was already there but could not be detected. The Queen's domain of the night sky was now submerged in the glow of the Supreme Lamp.
"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because it has no shadow or form doesn't mean it's completely empty. At the moment of conjunction, if you can't see the moon phase in the night sky, it doesn't mean there is no moon phase. It's just that this moon phase doesn't exist at night, but only during the day. Because the sun's light is too dazzling during the day, it can't be seen directly.
"Similarly, the lunar phases of the conjunction are not without reflections on the Lake of Stars, but because the sunlight shining on the lake is too strong, it cannot be seen. The invisible shadows of the lunar phases guide the location of the invisible door... Through here, I can also pass through the mirror."
Dorothy lowered her head, looked at the scene on the lake and whispered that now she would begin to look for the invisible door in the most dazzling glow reflected by the lake.
