Age of Adepts

Chapter 1194 - Omen of Danger

Fountain of the Moon.

Elven sacred item.

Possesses magical powers beyond the Fountain of Life, the Fountain of Youth and the Fountain of Magic.

The Fountain of Life can massively restore the life force lost by the living organism itself, without any side effects.

Drinking the Fountain of Youth could keep one's youth forever, and keep the entire living organism at the pinnacle of life, not changing with the passing of the years, until the moment of death.

The Spring of Magic, on the other hand, allows supernatural creatures to quickly recover their magical power, in a gentle and calm process that does not cause magical reversal.

The Fountain of the Moon, on the other hand, combines the advantages of these Elven treasures, being able to bathe in moonlight and give birth to a magical spring every so often. From then on, the holder of the Moon Spring would be forever protected from the loss of life, the passing of youth, and the lack of magical power.

Even the seeds of the Elves' famous Moonwell, when first planted, needed to be immersed in the Moonlight Spring beforehand in order to successfully take root and twine into a Moonwell of great significance to the Elves.

If the Fountain of Life was an elven treasure that restored life force at once, then the Moonwell that had been blessed by the Moonlight Goddess Mimi was able to continuously replenish life force. Such an auxiliary item was worthy of being a top-notch artifact for those professionals who relied on their life force.

With the Moon Spring, Alice didn't have to be as cautious and calculating as she was now when performing her divination. She was afraid that a careless mistake would trigger a reversal of fate and devour her own little remaining life force.

Precisely because the Spring of the Moon was so important to the position of the Destiny Witches, the day after obtaining the Spring of the Moon, Alice led all the Destiny Witches to hold a grand destiny prayer ceremony inside the Astrology Hall on the top floor of the tower.

From the outside, the Spring of the Moon was actually a crystal-clear spring.

It was only two or three square meters in size and was contained in a crude wooden basin.

Whenever the moonlight shone through the transparent dome onto the spring, it would radiate silver stars, filling the entire hall with the fragrant freshness of the woods and grass after the rain.

Alice had almost consumed nearly 80% of her own life force at 3rd level in order to cast a fate blessing on Grim who had infiltrated into the Morian Plane. If she hadn't relied on the power of fate stolen from the 'Son of the Position', she would have been close to the brink of death by now.

Even though she was now promoted to the 4th rank and had lengthened her own life dimension, the life source she had lost before could not be replenished by advancing to the next rank. This undoubtedly also affected her life magnitude after advancing to the next level.

Now, with the replenishment of the Moon Spring, her life source made up for it, then the stretching of her life dimension after advancing to 4th rank would allow her to also have the length that a normal 4th rank should have.

Therefore this Destiny Prayer Ceremony meant so much to her that it was simply unbearable in her life!

Under the devout prayers of the many Fate Witches and Apprentices, the image of the Long River of Fate slowly emerged above the hall. It came from the void and flowed into the distant void, vast and magnificent, causing one's spirit to freeze and one's origin to tremble at the slightest touch.

No one could see the source of the Long River, no one could know where it was going, and the breath of the eternal vicissitudes settled in the Long River, making one perceive one's own smallness and lowliness at a glance.

Although many of the Fate Witches present had witnessed the existence of the Long River of Fate many times, every time they were immersed in the thick and solid atmosphere, they were still able to generate countless strange and bizarre insights.

As for the Sorceress apprentices, due to their souls not being tough enough, they were already muddled and confused the moment the Long River of Destiny's virtual shadow appeared, not knowing where they were. Among the many apprentices, only one woman, whose pupils were still bright and her thoughts still clear, looked up at the torrent of destiny that was slowly rushing past not far above her head, and couldn't help but reach out and poke her hand into the strange band of light.

When her youthful and tender fingertips just touched the band of light formed by the virtual shadow of the Long River of Destiny, her body shook, and her entire soul's life source trembled violently, with the intention of detaching from her body and being swept away by the great divine power of the Long River of Destiny's rushing forward.

At this moment, a beautiful slender hand that emitted hazy starlight around its body landed on her forehead, also infecting her entire body with the power of starlight.

With the isolation of the power of starlight, the young apprentice woman's fingers were finally free from the coils of the long river of fate. It was as if they were beautiful bands of light on two levels, overlapping each other but not involved in the slightest, no longer having the terrifying feeling that they would be crushed to pieces by the merciless force of fate earlier.

"Lucia, don't rely on fate's favor on you to be a hundred percent forbidden." Alice stroked the other's long hair and slowly shook her head, "Fate is a great power! It is also cold and unforgiving... If you want to swim in the river of destiny, you have to know it, understand it, and obey it... And destiny is also the most just, it will make fair deal after fair deal with you. You know everything you need to know, so what are you prepared to trade with fate?"

"My life, my soul, my knowledge...I would trade everything I have for it!" Lucia stubbornly lifted her head and looked directly into Alice's pupils that radiated a beautiful, peaceful glow, still holding on.

"Little one, what you just said is worthless to fate! To trade with destiny, you have to make yourself worthy. So, it's not time for you to get in touch and trade with your destiny yet, so you'd better keep learning and realizing! When the time is right, you'll be able to stand where I am now and go bargain with fate righteously and squarely, making all kinds of deals!"

"Sister Alice, can the Fate of the Wizarding World change the fate of the Occultists?"

"Not this one! After all, the Morian Plane where the Arcane Empire was located was also a Master Plane, just a small step away from being able to compete with the Wizard World. Alice looked down at Lucia who looked disappointed, and then continued: "But you don't have to be disappointed, your existence is the continuation of the Arcane Empire, and you are the one who holds the Morian in your heart...". The bit one branch of fate that has yet to fade. As long as you don't give up, the Arcane Empire has a chance to rise again..."

"And what do the Fates of the Wizarding World want from me?" If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been moved by such a tear-jerking scene and would have been overwhelmed with gratitude. But the Lucia in front of her, although her soul breath was low, the everlasting light of wisdom illuminated her soul.

"I don't know!" Alice smiled lightly, not hiding anything: "Perhaps waiting for the remnants of the Arcane Empire who escaped from the Morian Plane to re-grow this branch of destiny and merge it in again; perhaps wanting to introduce a new branch of destiny in the Wizarding World and make it part of the Wizarding World's power system.... ..."

"There are too many possible scenarios, and I can't give you a clear standard answer. It's not even polite to say that every word you say now, every decision you make now, is also silently influencing the direction of this branch of fate..."

"Fate is misty and unpredictable! But fate is the future stacked up one present after another, and it is somehow predictable and controllable... As for how to do this, you will need to continue to learn and practice, otherwise, you will just be like now, powerless to watch fate run but helpless!"

Lucia opened her eyes wide and stared dumbly at the virtual shadow of Alice who was standing in front of her as if she was a beautiful goddess. After a long time, a bitter smile finally appeared on her face.

"Thank you, sister Alice. I can feel your sincerity from the depths of my soul, and thank you for not coaxing and deceiving me. However, I also want to warn you that you seem to be having a disaster today. You must be careful!"

Disaster?

Alice's heart was slightly moved, casually condensed a magic water mirror, reflecting her own face.

The picturesque face that a touch of exquisite and delicate serenity is enough to make any man rise a pleasing and pleasant feeling, the bun pulled high on top of the head is like a daisy, to Alice's youthful and delicate and add a couple of gorgeous mature style.

Look at the color, look at the radiance, look at the style, it does not look like it's going to be unlucky!

However, as a witch of fate, she did not dare to ignore any signs and warnings. In particular, today's fate prayer ceremony was crucial to Alice's ability to fill the gap in her life source. If something goes wrong, the loss of a 4th class treasure is the next best thing, but the key will affect Alice's future life length.

Where did it go wrong? Or is someone secretly plotting against them?

Alice closed her eyes tightly and began to silently sense and estimate the cause, process and outcome of the whole thing. But rather oddly, the force of fate did not send any warning to her. And the results of her deduced divination were neither good nor bad, and she really couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Trusting Lucia's senses and abandoning this Fate prayer ritual? Or is it going to continue?

For a moment, Alice had some difficulty deciding!

"Alice, it's time!" That elf Helen flew out of the witching formation with her wings flapping, flying up and down around Alice, "If you don't hurry up, you're going to miss the best time for the Starlight Witching Formation to operate... What are you waiting for?"

Alice took a deep breath and grabbed Helen to lean into its ear and whispered, "I'll just go into the formation by myself later, you have to stay outside. If...I mean if...anything happens to me, you'll immediately go to Grim. Maybe he'll be the only one who can save me then!"

Little Helen's eyes immediately opened wide, really somewhat puzzled by what she was hearing.

But as Alice's magical deed, it did as it was told.
