Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 543 - 316 Aina: Where is my Daughter? Text with Fengling (5.2k) _1
[Ding! Black Moon’s Light (Phase Two Completed)]
[Ding! Black Moon’s Light (Phase Three has automatically updated)]
[Mission Brief: ①You have found the pathway for a Skill Practitioner to ascend from ’Moon Priest’ to ’Dark Moon Skill Practitioner,’ yet a pathway that lacks both beginning and end is of little significance to you. You need to restore this pathway from Tier Zero to at least Tier Four to make use of it.
②Furthermore, it is almost an impossibility for these elves to undergo sublimation by utilizing the leftover pathways with the Black Moon tree already destroyed. There seems to be a special power contained within this scroll, which records both the formula and the omen, Traveler, please seek out the truth.]
[Reward: None at present]
[Description: The pitch-black moon will not bring eternal darkness; after the eclipse passes, the bright moonlight will shower the entire land.]
A scroll with the Dark Moon Skill Practitioner formula and omen?
Is this a direct sublimation pathway from the Eternal World Tree—Dark Moon?
[Do you wish to add it to your Dreamland Satchel?]
[Yes]
Luo Xi decisively stuffed the formula scroll into his Dreamland Satchel.
The mention of special power contained within it in the mission had caught his attention.
But now was clearly not the time for close scrutiny.
Three seconds passed.
Time began to flow again.
Lu Su still maintained the posture of reaching into his embrace, but when his hand touched the place where the item should have always been, it was empty.
Cold sweat immediately started to seep out from his back.
Where did it go?
He had clearly always kept it right here.
At this moment, the human standing beside him stood up. Lu Su, recalling what he had said before, became convinced that his possession had been taken away by this man by some means unknown to him.
Grinding his teeth, he said, "No matter who you are, even if Her Majesty herself comes personally, you cannot act against the Black Moon Chamber without reason. Dukes Luo E and Vyriam wouldn’t stand idly by!"
"And a governor? There was never such a position before, you’re nothing but a vicious dog released by Her Majesty to bite people!"
Lu Su had already pegged Luo Xi as a vanguard sent by Her Majesty Kureya to probe the Black Moon Chamber.
Ever since Her Majesty ascended to that position forty years ago, she had been trying to reclaim the powers that had been distributed by the former Elf Emperors, such as the right to issue currency, control over craftsmen and alchemical institutions, and the right to permit the establishment of major chambers of commerce...
But she would never succeed.
Among the five Dukes in the Royal Court, only one stood on Her Majesty’s side, the same ’Duke Mel’ mentioned by the mysterious girl earlier. The combined power of the remaining four Dukes was enough to confront Her Majesty in the Royal Court.
Unlike the nations founded by humans, here amongst the elves, who isn’t a child of the Mother Tree?
The Eternal World Tree—Emerald, which nurtured the elf race, considers all elves as part of her brood. Each Duke has received the recognition of the Mother Tree’s Origin. Merely with Her Majesty Kureya alone, even overturning the table would be an impossibility.
Facing Lu Su’s interrogation, Luo Xi simply asked, "Where are the other parts of the Black Moon pathway?"
The phantom of the Elf Emperor, which had appeared on the wooden plaque, had vanished. Sensing the disappearance of that pressure, Lu Su immediately stood up from the ground and stared fixedly at Luo Xi.
"You think I will tell you? Taking something you shouldn’t have, even with Her Majesty’s blessing won’t help. A lowly human like you is destined to die without a burial place!"
"Return that item to me, and we’ll pretend today’s incident never happened."
By right and by logic, he must inform the two Dukes behind the Black Moon Chamber as soon as possible, as well as Count Elven of the Elven Joy Field.
But if he were to speak out, how would those above regard him?
Moreover, the Black Moon scroll could definitely not be handed over to someone else—that was an iron law of the Chamber!
The Black Moon’s pathway for sublimation was passed only among the higher echelons of the Black Moon Chamber because the power it offered was far more direct and formidable compared to the pathways provided by the Emerald Divine Tree. It also obviated the need to consume a substantial number of resources to exchange for sublimation omens with the Royal Court, which is why most of the chamber’s upper ranks chose this path.
Lu Su had also only recently accumulated enough internal contribution points within the Chamber to exchange for this Second-tier to Third-tier sublimation omen, which came with a month’s retention rights.
For sublimated persons, merely seeing omens and formulas was not enough to replicate their own ascension; they also needed a ’quota’ permission. This scroll was his Second-tier to Third-tier permit.
He had already gathered the necessary materials for sublimation.
He was just waiting for a full moon night.
Yet this human had snatched away the Black Moon scroll from him, effectively severing his hope for ascension!
Luo Xi, listening to Lu Su’s words filled with threats, felt a surge of laughter.
What kind of daydream was this person having?
Did he think he could reclaim something that had entered his Dreamland Satchel?
Not a chance.
Seeing that Luo Xi offered no reply, Lu Su thought he had realized the gravity of the situation and understood to be afraid, his expression relaxed slightly as he smiled, "Think about it carefully. You, a human, have neither the grace nor the ability to control Her Majesty’s Black Knight army. If a conflict really happens, you’ll be the first pawn thrown out as cannon fodder. Right now, you still have the chance to gain the friendship of our Black Moon Chamber. Do you understand my meaning?"
No sooner had his words fallen than darkness unexpectedly descended before Lu Su’s eyes, and his whole body was sent flying towards the back of the stage, crashing hard into the wall with such a force that his body embedded into the structure.
