Chapter 518: Promise
Soraka lay on the ground, coughing desperately, wishing she could cough out her stomach and wash it.
She didn't know what these people gave her to drink, but she had a hunch that it was not a good thing.
Several guards looked at her quietly, their hands on the hilts of their swords.
If she shows any slight change, we will go to war.
Soon, Soraka stopped coughing and felt warmth rising in her abdomen.
The original feeling of exhaustion due to hunger was gone, and instead there was a slight feeling of fullness.
She was stunned, but when her eyes glanced at the blackened body that was burned not far away, tears fell silently.
"What happened to my grandma?"
Soraka knew that her grandmother might have passed away a few days ago, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.
After losing her grandmother, she no longer had any blood relatives of her own in this world.
Soran looked at the little girl who quickly calmed down with interest, and said calmly, "Your grandmother mutated a few days ago. If I'm not mistaken, she was no longer herself when the mutation began."
His gaze towards the little girl became deep.
An ordinary person who can experience the Red Moon Night without being contaminated either has a mutated bloodline or has regressed to activate the advanced bloodline of his ancestors from who knows how many generations ago.
No matter which one it is, this originally ordinary little girl is destined to become extraordinary in the future.
Soran pointed at the corpse on the ground and tried to slow down his tone and make it gentle:
"She is no longer your grandmother. Keep your sorrow to yourself. The living should be more positive and optimistic."
"Thank you," Soraka wiped away her tears, stood up and bent her knees slightly.
Seeing that the other party adapted so quickly, Soran's admiration increased a little: "What's your name?"
"Soraka, Soraka Nelson."
Soran stared into the girl's eyes, which were as pure as the sky, and whispered softly:
"Soraka means Star Child in Hermetic."
He turned to one of his guards and said, "Karl, take Soraka to the church and find a nun to bathe her. I will have a good chat with her when I return from patrol."
"As you wish, Archbishop.
Miss Soraka, please follow me."
Soran watched the little girl stagger away, waved to the guards beside him and said:
"Come on, let's continue."
An hour later, Soren returned to the church and found the girl holding a Bible and reading.
Soraka noticed him coming back and quickly stood up and saluted.
Soran sat opposite the girl, motioned her to sit down as well, and said gently:
“Can you understand the Bible?”
This is the holy book of the Ming Cult, which he studies often.
“Not really.”
"Haha, you are very honest." Soran laughed.
After laughing, he straightened his face and said solemnly: "Soraka, I found that you have a special talent. Do you want to become a transcendent? After becoming a transcendent, you will become as powerful as me, and you can protect the people you care about."
"Archbishop, everyone I care about is gone."
Soran was embarrassed.
"But I am willing to be a transcendent. I don't want to be without the power to fight back when I suffer."
Soraka raised her head and continued:
"Archbishop, will we defeat the darkness?"
Her eyes were filled with anticipation. She had experienced too much pain when the gray fog descended, and she didn't want to go through it again.
She wanted to become strong. Being strong could not isolate her from pain, but it could help her fight back when pain came.
However, she didn't know if she could become a powerful transcendent. Even gods could fall, so what was she?
Now, she desperately needs a belief in her heart, something that tells her that although the world is dark, there will be light in the end.
Soran nodded firmly:
"I will send you to the Holy City of Shattrath, where you will find the answer."
The holy light of the Holy See can dispel the confusion in the hearts of all those who have lost their way.
Cathedral of Light, Shattrath City.
Geralt looked at the clear dividing line in the sky and said, "I never knew that the pollution of the red moon could be directly isolated from the outside."
Above the sky, the scarlet light tried to penetrate the magic circle above the city and descend, but was blocked by the silver light.
It is like two rivers of distinctly different colors coming together, staging a fierce confrontation.
He wondered why the audience was scheduled for tonight - the night of the red moon.
Everyone knew that this was a night of unprecedented spiritual activity, but also an ominous night.
"In Shattrath, you will see too many miracles."
The bishop who led the way smiled and said to the others:
"Everyone, please follow me.
His Majesty the Glorious God's time is very precious. If you cannot get a promise before tomorrow morning, you will have to wait a long time before you can see the God again."
Yennefer pushed the witcher and said, "Let's go. Don't stay here and sigh."
The group walked through the corridor of the church and came to the Pope's study.
"Geralt, Yennefer, and Lannister, welcome to Shattrath, my friends."
Crown said enthusiastically that he initially wanted to receive them at the manor, but thinking that the two sides now had different positions and the other party represented the Warlock Brotherhood, he changed the venue to the Cathedral of Holy Light - the Holy See of the Ming Cult.
No one dared to be negligent in front of the gods, and the three of them stepped forward to pay their respects.
After the routine official greetings, Crown sat on a high-backed red velvet chair inlaid with gold and silver threads:
“What is the current situation on Shandeni Island?
I heard that you have withdrawn most of the wizards to this isolated wizard city overseas. I am very curious, how did the wizards' holy city resist the gray fog? "
His current impression of the Island of Sandani is entirely based on the information provided by the church.
Lannister said:
"Your Majesty, let me answer your question.
On the island of Shanderni, we use the power of wizards to purify the environment.
After the gray fog was filtered by the three magic arrays, the harm has been reduced to a minimum, and it doesn’t even have the ability to mutate a chicken. "
After that, he began to briefly introduce the functions of the magic circle one by one, and then introduced the current situation on the island.
Clown nodded slightly and said kindly, "When danger comes, we can always find a way to deal with it. This is cause for celebration.
These wonderful magic arrays have aroused my interest even more.
When we drive away the evil god, I will definitely go to the island of Xandani to see the holy city of wizards."
His words could be said to be very polite, without any of the condescending airs of a god.
He paused, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and continued: "Now, let's get to the point.
Eliza has already told me the purpose of your visit, and I am willing to lend a helping hand to your request.
But what Eliza told you is also true, we don't have enough raw materials to make the magic circle.
Even if I wanted to help you, I am powerless, but I can provide you with a batch of Golden Light Potion and Pure Heart Potion."
"Your Majesty," Yennefer nodded slightly:
“On the way to Shattrath City, we passed through the Kingdom of Budamia.
We saw that there was also the Moon Soul Aura Array created by our church.
What I want to ask is, if we can provide the materials to make the magic circle, can we get the magic circle?"
The result of obtaining a batch of potions was not something they were willing to accept. They had to obtain the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array to alleviate the difficulties faced by the Brotherhood.
“Of course, the Moon God Church and the Sun God Church have both obtained our Moon Soul Aura Array.
The reason for this is that they all provided the basic materials for the magic circle."
Klauen took out two pieces of ore from his space ring and handed them over: "These are samples of warm jade and cold jade. See if you can get such ore."
He did not hate wizards, so as long as the other party could afford enough raw materials, it would not be difficult to create a set of Moon Soul Aura Array.
The evil god's arrival was getting closer and closer, and he estimated that the spiritual world was now rapidly approaching the material world.
Only by uniting together can mankind overcome the difficulties.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In addition, there is another very important point, the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array is not a real perpetual motion machine.
As the world's spiritual concentration continues to decline, the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array will gradually close.
If you want to open it, you have to reactivate it.
The method of activation will always be in the hands of the Ming Cult.
The two kinds of ores were passed around among the Brotherhood members and finally returned to Crown.
He put the ore back into the space ring and said, "We can purchase both types of ores indefinitely, and the demand for the cold jade ore is greater.
As long as you can provide the raw materials in large quantities, you will definitely get the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array.
The number of magic circles you obtain depends on how much raw materials you provide to the Ming Cult."
Yennefer frowned. She had never been in charge of the Brotherhood's mines and had no idea that there were these two types of ores.
Geralt is at ease, he is here as a mascot.
Lannister fell into deep thought. He seemed to have seen these two minerals somewhere before.
Crown did not urge him, but waited quietly.
"I remember now!"
Lannister stood up excitedly and said, "I have spent a long time in the Kingdom of Ribia. The Brotherhood and the Church of the God of Knowledge have cooperated to mine many mines, and I was in charge of tracking them all.
About twenty years ago, we discovered a jade mine.
Because it was not a metal mine, the mine was filled in.”
Clown became interested and asked:
“Are the reserves large?”
"It was very big. I remember it clearly. It was under a giant iron mine, and it was full of this kind of stone."
"What kind of stone?"
Lannister still looked excited: "Both!"
Clown raised his eyebrows. Is there such a good thing?
Under normal circumstances, the two types of ores will not exist at the same time. This situation will only occur when the yin and yang forces are balanced when the vein is formed.
Because of the harmonious coexistence of yin and yang, better quality jade can be produced.
With better jade, the quality of the Sun Thunder Seal and the Moon Thunder Seal can be improved.
He immediately took out a map of the Kingdom of Ribia and asked:
"Where is the mine located? Please point it out."
"You can't tell your Majesty about this. We still need to use the ore we mine to exchange for the magic circle."
Crown closed the map and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll be happier if you're willing to mine."
Lannister said happily: "In that case, let's discuss how to exchange the ore for the magic circle."
This mission was a success and he was the main contributor. He will receive more rewards after returning.
He also wanted to go one step further in his lifetime and experience what it felt like to be a sixth-level transcendent.
"You and Eliza should discuss the replacement of the magic circle tomorrow."
Next came the negotiation phase, but Crown was not interested in it as it was a waste of time.
He chatted with Geralt for half an hour before leaving, and when he returned to the manor, he immediately headed for the warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with various metals. He used the Fire Cube to extract the essence of the metals, and then began to create Holy Light Naaru and golems.
He was the only one who knew how to create the Holy Light Naaru and the sixth-order golem, and he had no intention of putting this knowledge into the church's collection of books.
He planned to turn this knowledge into the foundation of the Moya family.
Guest room.
Lannister danced and said, "After the negotiations are over tomorrow, we can return home.
The problem of finding the mineral vein has been solved, but if you want to mine the mineral vein, you will have to spend more energy and money.
Today is different from the past. Mining ore in the gray fog is not an easy task. We must make the best preparations."
Yennefer nodded: "I have no objection."
Geralt pursed his lips and said, "I want to stay here for a while before returning to Xandani Island."
During the days he stayed in Shattrath City, he could clearly feel that the impure blood that was induced to mutate by the demon hunter potion was slowly being purified and the impurities were being removed.
This was something he never dared to dream of. The profession of demon hunter was a tool created by the Warlock Brotherhood to hunt monsters and maintain basic order in the world.
The purity of his bloodline meant that he had the possibility to go further.
Since Demon Hunters are a new sequence of extraordinary beings, every progress must be made slowly and by trial and error.
After advancing to Silver, he gradually discovered that his mutated bloodline was no longer a help on his path to becoming a transcendent, but had become a hindrance.
After careful study, he came to a desperate conclusion that his journey to become a transcendent would end here.
"Why?"
Yennefer was puzzled. She didn't know what the witcher was thinking. Did he want to leave me?
Geralt looked into his lover's pure eyes and said softly:
“In recent years, wizards, knights, and even spirit masters have all made great strides toward becoming extraordinary.
In the Brotherhood, there are sixth-level wizards, fifth-level knights and spirit masters, and only the demon hunter stands still.
I would like to take this opportunity to seek more advice from His Excellency the God of Light, and see if there will ever be a day when I can break free from the shackles."
"I understand. You can stay, but please remember that there are people waiting for your return on the Island of Xandani."
Yennefer agreed immediately. No extraordinary person would refuse the opportunity to go further.
If White Wolf is stopped, the only result will be that the two of them will be alienated.
She also hopes that her lover will be a brilliant person, but if the White Wolf cannot advance to the fifth level, he will slowly become mediocre.
My lover, who has always been so proud and arrogant, has he had a hard time these years?
She is doing her own review.
Geralt's eyes showed tenderness: "Someone is waiting for me, which is the greatest happiness."
