Chapter 2530 Crazy Moon

"Although there are only three texts, this is definitely not stinginess of the church. Two of these texts are related to the moon and one is related to time. They are the ones the church thinks are most suitable for the 'God Caller'. Shade, you'd better choose Read them at night and not in urban areas.”

Worried that Shade had ignored the instructions on the side of the metal plate, Iluna specifically explained it.

So on this Friday night, Shade went to the Black Night Temple and opened three texts under the moonlight.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the "Sun, Moon and Stars" ceremony array at the end of the temple. Little Mia was placed on the ground by him and was walking around nearby as if inspecting her territory.

The dragon skin of the first Dragon Skin Text is an artifact from the Third Age, but the text on it was written in the early Fifth Age. This text belongs to the Church of Dawn and is used to record a major event at that time:

"On an unspecified night in the early fifth era, the Central Continent, the Western Continent, and the northern part of the Southern Continent all saw the blood moon dyeing the entire night sky red. The blood-red night lasted for 39 hours in those areas before it ended. During this period, countless living creatures suffered from flesh and blood distortion, and even witches were unable to avoid it.

The Witch Emperors formed a joint investigation team for this purpose, but failed to investigate the cause of this mutation. Later, through tracing the origins of ancient documents, we learned that every thousand years, the moon in the physical world always exhibits abnormal phenomena in a certain area. The frequency of such accidents is not fixed, but they are very dangerous. "

Shade looked at the content written on the dragon skin, and then looked up at the three moons hanging high above the forest sea in Randall Valley:

"Is the moon mutating? It's just because before the Sixth Age, the collapse of the world was not that serious, so the frequency was very low."

It is also written at the back that the moon mutation of different colors will lead to different disasters, and the moon mutation is not necessarily a single-color mutation, but may also be a multi-color mutation.

In addition to silver, yellow and red, the most terrifying thing is the mutation of the "black moon" during the lunar eclipse, which will randomly kill random lives within the scope of the mutation.

But although these contents are terrifying, they do not make the entire dragon skin dangerous.

The above words are all written in beautiful cursive letters. Because the area of ​​​​the dragon skin is not small after being cut, the size of the letters is also very suitable.

But the last line of text is pitifully small, and the font is also crooked, as if the writer couldn't control his hand holding the pen——

[When the moonlight invades the night, don’t look at the moon]

"who?!"

Shade suddenly looked up at the night sky. Just now he clearly felt that something was watching him.

But at this time, the night sky is quite normal, and the three-wheeled moon hangs quietly overhead. It is safe here.

"Meow~"

Little Mia shouted to the night sky, and then ran to Shade again looking very happy. Shade touched the well-behaved cat, held down the heart that suddenly beat faster at that moment, and made sure that nothing happened around him before continuing to look at the dragon skin.

But those crooked letters are the final content. There are no periods in the sentence, and there are some ink marks after it, as if the writer couldn't hold the pen after writing these words.

"What does this mean? Don't look at the moon. It's really bluffing."

Of course, Shade also knew that the witch who left this record was definitely not talking nonsense, otherwise he would not have had a strange feeling at that moment:

"Although I feel like I know a lot of things, I don't seem to have figured out anything. The change in the moon will at least wait until the chosen one of the moon appears, but isn't the next one likely to be time?"

Thinking in his mind, he put away the dragon skin again, and then picked up the human skin text.

Using human skin to make alchemy tools or "human skin paper" was prohibited in this era, and the antique in Shade's hands may have originated from the Second Age according to the church.

However, the introduction on the metal plate containing the text said that the text was not very dangerous. It only involved some things related to the ancient gods, so the content could not be made public.

The human skin text felt very bad to the touch, and Shade was glad that he had been wearing gloves. He read the contents of the manuscript carefully, then looked up at the moon and fell into deep thought.

Although the materials used to create this volume of text are terrible, there is no other danger in the content except that it is spiritually polluting because it involves the secrets of the ancient gods and the moon.

The ancient scholars who wrote this text called themselves the "Moon Ancestors" and claimed that although the moon, like the sun, was an aggregation of vast amounts of spiritual and divine power and elements, there was a strange space within the moon.

According to the content of this text, in the era when the ancient gods had not yet left, at the end of the highest-level moon worship ritual process, a staircase would appear connecting the earth and the moon.

Climb the stairs to the moon, where the incarnation of the Moon Sage will appear and bless devout believers. There are even rumors that there is a door standing there, and behind the door is a library that records everything in the world.

Of course, the highest level of sacrifice is required to open such a ladder to the moon. Those who can be invited to the moon are pure girls, and the sage of the moon prefers such girls.

"So, there is a constant door to the [Silver Moon Library] on the moon?"

Shade asked in his mind, while "she" continued to guess:

[Perhaps the text refers to the original moon. 】

"Yes, now that the moon has split into three wheels, even if the door really existed on the original moon, I'm afraid it can't be found now."

But this did not prevent Shade from imagining the prosperous [Moon Worshiping Order] in ancient times, worshiping the moon together under the deep and charming night, and the moon also responded to those devout people.

Thinking about it, he unconsciously raised his right hand, as if he wanted to touch the silver moon in the distant night sky, but of course he couldn't touch anything.

[Are you resentful that the moon did not give you strength during the Battle of Moon Bay? 】

"She" asked suddenly, probably thinking that Shade had made a special trip to the Night Temple before the battle, but did not get any response.

"Of course I don't think so. The ancient gods have left. Besides, even if they are still watching this world, what reason do I have to ask the gods to help me?"

The moonlight shone on his face, and he raised his hand to "hold" the moon. Neither "she" nor he spoke.

After a while, the cat meowed "meow~" after seeing that Shade ignored it. Shade gently stroked it twice:

"Miss Gothe will be arriving in a few days, Mia, please don't leave me."

The cat did not understand these words, and it felt that these words were not meant for him. Shade then held it in his arms and looked up at the moon:

"I really want to go up there and take a look, to see if the door is still there, and to see if the sage left any traces there."

Most of the second text introduces this ancient moon worship ritual, but the author who calls himself the "Moon Ancestor" himself has not participated in this kind of sacrifice. The ancient gods in his life have already gone away.

However, at the end of this roll of human skin, the ink stains left by the "Moon Ancestors" who seemed to be gradually going crazy had changed from dark blue to blood red. He said this:

[On the night when the three moons coincide, sacrifice your blood relatives and peel off your ugly skin. When everything in your eyes becomes distorted and crazy, the hills made of flesh and blood will become the stairs for you and me to reach the moon. 】

"It seems like he's crazy too, isn't it? Why do these people who worship the moon become crazy in the end?"

Shade looked up at March in the night sky again, and then he was very sure that at least he was not crazy, at least not yet.

However, reading this kind of text also caused some mental damage to him, so he did not rush to open the last text immediately, but took a short rest while holding the cat and looking at the moon. The first two texts are interesting, and the Church certainly picked out the knowledge that best suited him.

Under the moonlit night, his spirit, physical strength and spirit always recovered quickly, but the slight melancholy in his heart made Shade want to sigh. As for little Mia, who was held by Shade, she was very excited at this time.

The warm cat has not changed much since the Battle of Moon Bay, and Shade has been trying to make it swallow a Philosopher's Stone again without success. Shade has decided to wait until he meets Miss Gold before making further plans to explore the secret of the cat.

So he took a rest and picked up the last roll of golden sheep's parchment.

"Golden Sheep" are a kind of alien creature that is extremely rare in today's era. They have unique talents related to "luck", and their fur is an extremely precious alchemical material.

The writing that can be written on such a material is certainly extraordinary. The last text comes from the Fourth Age, before the era of witches.

[In the ancient era, the roots of the World Tree stretched across the crust of the entire material world. Even if the World Tree's crown was deliberately controlled by the ancient elves, it blocked a quarter of the sky in the ancient Central Continent.

When the ancient era ended, the World Tree also began to decline. However, in the material world to this day, there are still some ancient trees from the ancient era. They once witnessed the sunset and sunrise of the first era together with the World Tree.

Occasionally, there will be some tree holes in those ancient trees, which are channels formed by the remaining power of the ancient god - the father of the Infinite Tree. Through the tree hole, one can travel through time without using the 'Time Key', but few people can come back from the tree hole. The following are records left by individuals who claimed to have returned after passing through tree holes. 】

The content written on this parchment made of golden sheepskin is more than the contents of the previous two documents combined. It not only describes the characteristics and appearance of the special passage called the "Time Tree Cave" by the writer, but also records three potentially valuable reports.

The three records are not very long and describe in the first person what happened after traveling through the "Tree Cave of Time".
