Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4401 Ravenburg

Chapter 4401 Ravenburg

Uriel and Guleimo were both born into nobility and had learned a lesson from a young age: there are no free gifts in this world, and any request or assistance must come at a price.

Especially Mr. Sun and Ms. Moon, who are highly respected even by the powerful wizard Camillo, must hold a very important position in the extraordinary world.

The price to pay for seeking help from such a being is something they can hardly imagine.

The reason they had never brought up the "cost" before was not because they were deliberately avoiding it, but because they knew they were just ordinary people with no power to even kill a chicken. They had neither the capital to negotiate on equal terms with the extraordinary, nor the bargaining chips to repay their debt of gratitude.

Since they are powerless to resist and have no other choice, they can only silently pray that these unfathomable extraordinary beings will show them mercy.

Judging from the conversation between the Sun and Moon Wizards, they seem willing to help, and even offered several options.

In this situation, they actually need to be more cautious.

You can't take others' help for granted, nor can you rashly make greedy choices... But the problem is, they don't even know which option is more greedy, or which option might be troublesome for the other party.

So, after a brief discussion in hushed tones, the two decided to hand over the choice to the other party.

In any case, for them, whichever option they ultimately choose is better than the current situation.

Lady Moon gave Uriel a deep look. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood Uriel's underlying meaning.

She chuckled lightly: "You guys are so good at throwing the problem back at me."

"However, you are very clever, and you did guess correctly. I am indeed quite interested in Sean. The reason I proposed returning Sean's remnant soul to its original body is because I think it is a good research topic."

Based on their understanding of Uriel and Gulemo over this period of time, and the friendship they had formed while temporarily staying at Gulemo's house, they offered their choice because they genuinely didn't mind helping them out.

Therefore, the choice is true.

After Uriel and Guleimo made their choices, they would indeed offer some assistance as appropriate.

But if there's one of these three options that both helped them and made them happy, it's the last one.

That is, the choice proposed by Lady Moon.

The reason is not hard to guess: wizards spend their lives pursuing the truth, and when they encounter an interesting subject, they are willing to pay a higher price for it.

And the issue facing Sean is precisely this interesting one.

Even if they weren't soul-based wizards, they were still very interested in this topic, since it involved: the separation of soul and consciousness, the repair of remnant souls, and the fusion of new souls and consciousness across worlds.

These may seem like just the surface, but there's so much to study inside.

Involving space, the soul, resurrection, and even the deep dream civilization... perhaps one of these research branches can point to the ultimate truth.

The Moon Lady expended the power of the laws to collect the remnants of Sean's soul for this very reason.

However, they wouldn't mind if Uriel chose other options.

At worst, Lady Moon will take some of Sean's flesh and blood, and then expend some effort to recreate a body for Sean.

For her, it was just a matter of putting in more effort and getting less result.

But now that the choice has been returned to her, she can save herself the trouble of creating a body for Sean later.

"If I had to choose, I would choose for Sean's remnant soul to return to his body. What do you all think?" Lady Moon paused for a moment. "Of course, if you have any objections, you can raise them now."

Uriel and Guleimo exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously: "No, we have no objection. Let's do as you say, sir."

Lady Moon smiled and nodded: "Alright, but..."

She paused for a moment, and it was Uriel and Guleimo who felt their hearts skip a beat. But what?

"However, I personally don't like being called 'sir'; it makes me feel old. Next time, it would be better to call me 'madam'."

Uriel and Guleimo breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, madam."

At this moment, Mr. Sun stepped forward, put his arm around Ms. Moon's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "In my eyes, you will always be the youngest."

Lady Moon gave a reproachful snort, her voice low and coquettish: "Do you think I'm stupid? The subtext of your words is that I'm very old, isn't it?"

No, you are still young and beautiful.

"Don't use 'still,' that's a word that makes me sound old!"

"Good good!"

……

When the Sun and Moon Wizards were showing off their love, everyone silently looked away, not daring to look any longer.

They didn't resume their previous conversation until after their performance was over.

“Now that you have made your choice, let’s begin.” Lady Moon looked at the glass sphere: “I will first extract Rigota’s soul.”

Guleimo was taken aback: "Now? Right here?"

Lady Moon nodded: "Yes, right here. And I also have a sincere suggestion for you. I will give you the Soul Tree later. If you want Rigota to be in a more perfect state, it would be best to plant the Soul Tree here as well."

"Should we leave my sister in the Misty Swamp Forest?"

“That’s right, the reasons are complicated and involve fate attribution. But I won’t go into details. You can think of it as her being here for many years, and her aura has become very compatible with this land vein.”

"Staying here will make me more inclined to make choices in many future situations."

At this point, Lady Moon continued, "Including Sean, it's better for him to stay here alive than to be taken away."

Guleimo didn't understand the implication, but he roughly understood what the Moon Lady meant: "So, the lady will also stay here?"

After all, Ms. Moon had previously stated that she would treat Sean as a research topic.

Since Sean is also staying here, and she wants to study Sean, does that mean they will stay in the Misty Forest?

Lady Moon nodded: "That's right."

She paused, then looked at Camillo: "So, I'd appreciate it if you could stay here for a while."

Camillo naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, for wizards, as long as they are in the same world, any distance is just a matter of being on the same plane.

"What about you? Do you want to place Rigota here? Of course, even if the Soul Tree is placed elsewhere, it won't be a big problem. It's all up to you."

"We'll follow your orders, Madam!" Gulemo and Uriel no longer resisted. As long as the Sun and Moon Wizard remained in the Misty Swamp Forest, Rigota would be absolutely safe here, without any worries about anything going wrong.

“Since you’re following my plan, let’s settle you near the tree hole…” Lady Moon glanced back at Mr. Sun: “Shall we settle here?”

Mr. Sun looked around the tree hole: "Although I can live in the Shadow Realm, the narrow exit makes me uncomfortable."

"I don't want to live in the Shadow Realm, there's no human presence there," Lady Moon said coquettishly.

Mr. Sun embraced Ms. Moon: "Alright, alright, then we'll stay outside. Since we're going to stay here for a while, let's just pull our residence directly out of the Shadow Realm."

Lady Moon smiled and said, "Okay."

Then she glanced at Guleimo and Uriel: "Let's plant the Soul Tree together when the time comes."

"Okay." Joy flashed in their eyes, and they nodded restrainedly, barely containing their excitement.

Then, the Sun and Moon Wizard emerged from the tree hollow, and the others followed.

After circling around the withered tree outside, Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, and then, in front of a large open space, said, "This will do."

Lady Moon nodded. "Watch me."

She took a few graceful steps forward, her slender fingers forming a bird's shape, and her fishtail skirt swayed as she passed through the shadow cast by a tall tree.

Just as she passed through the shadows, a glimmer of light appeared at her fingertips, and following her movement, the light drew a line in mid-air.

The line splits into two ends, with twisted colors appearing inside.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of distorted shadows floated out from the line, and in an instant they turned into shadowy mountains tens of meters high, or like waves formed from shadows.

Lady Moon continued her steps forward, each one graceful and swaying with elegance. But with each step, she drew out a glimmer of light, then stirred up towering, distorted waves of shadow.

After a few steps, Ms. Moon came to Mr. Sun's side and nestled into his arms like a newlywed bride.

But the faint line of light she had drawn did not stop because she stopped; it continued to spread forward out of thin air.

In the blink of an eye, the faint light had spread over a hundred meters away.

The distorted shadows created waves that reached a height of a hundred meters, as massive as a small mountain.

At this point, the faint light finally came to a sudden stop.

The surging shadows seemed to sense their boundaries and suddenly contracted, no longer spreading wildly, but instead gathering and shaping themselves layer by layer.

In the shadows, spires rise from the ground, high walls stretch out, dark patterns flow on the screen wall, and domes and eaves slowly take shape in mid-air.

The ground has changed from muddy black soil to gravel road paved with bricks. Every now and then, streetlights stand in the grid, their dim light attracting fireflies and moths.

In an instant, a magnificent and enormous black stone castle stood silently, its highest point reaching tens of meters, so tall that it almost blocked out the sunlight.

The castle was as majestic as a mountain, but the figures of the Sun and Moon Wizards embracing each other in front of it appeared exceptionally small and insignificant.

The stark contrast left both Uriel and Gulemo speechless with shock.

They had never seen such a magnificent sight before.

How did a castle large enough to hold thousands of people just appear like that?

Moreover, not a single blade of grass or tree was damaged. Even if the edge grazed a tree, the tree itself moved back, as if all of nature was cheering and making way for the appearance of the castle!

Is this the power of a wizard?!

Uriel and Gulemo were fortunate to only sigh inwardly; if they had spoken it aloud, Camillo next to them would probably have been speechless.

This is no ordinary wizarding power, but a spectacle created by a legendary wizard!

If he wanted, he could build such a massive castle in a very short time, but he would need to prepare a large amount of consumables, and the castle he built would only be an ordinary castle.

But this castle in front of you is no ordinary castle. The dark clouds at the top of the tower are not a natural sight, but some kind of shadow creation. If you stare at it, it will even wink at you.

Furthermore, the energy emanating from the castle is even more terrifying than the creations of many high-level alchemists, and it is so well contained that only wizards can perceive it.

Ordinary people like Uriel and Guleimo were completely unaware of it.

Even the fireflies around the streetlights, if viewed up close, can be seen to be some kind of magical crystal creation, with spatial power pulsating within them; if investigated further, they can extend into the endless void.

In the words of the Church of Light, this is truly... a work of God!

Of course, Camillo was still clear that the castle in front of him was not newly built, but most likely placed in the "Shadow Realm" that the Sun and Moon Wizards had mentioned before, and was now just being pulled out of the Shadow Realm.

Even so, it is still very impressive.

The ability to conjure up an extraordinary castle comparable to Sky City from another world at any time is something probably only a legendary wizard could do.

But speaking of which... what is the Shadow Realm?

It seems like he's never heard of this world before?

Camillo didn't think about it too much. He knew very well that sometimes knowing more wasn't necessarily a good thing. Some knowledge would naturally come to you when you reached a certain level, and there was no need to dwell on it now.

There are two sides to the story.

The Sun and Moon Wizards embraced for a long time, until the Moon Lady felt she had replenished her "energy" enough, then she nuzzled against the Sun Mr.'s muscular chest and reluctantly walked away.

She looked at the crowd in the distance.

Uriel and the others immediately understood and quickly stepped onto the castle grounds.

When they stepped onto the brick and stone ground, whether it was psychological or something else, everyone clearly felt that the surroundings seemed to darken a bit, but there was no sense of gloom. Instead, they felt a sense of the bright moonlight shining on them.

Tranquil, lively, bright, and secluded.

This is how they felt after stepping into the castle grounds.

Following the streetlights, they finally arrived at the Sun and Moon Wizard.

Lady Moon smiled and said, "Welcome to... Ravenburg."

As she finished speaking, the castle seemed to respond, with a large number of black crows flying past.

"Ravenburg? This is Ravenburg?!" Camillo exclaimed in shock.

He knew about Ravenburg, a large organization in the wizarding world of the Western Continent, and the Sun and Moon Wizards did indeed originate from Ravenburg.

But unexpectedly, the Raven Castle was carried by the Sun and Moon Wizard!

Lady Moon seemed to have guessed his thoughts and shook her head with a smile: "No, this is not the Raven Castle you understand. This is the Raven Castle of the Shadow Realm, the residence of my husband and me."

"The Raven Castle you're thinking of still stands on Raven King Mountain, where millions of people live. I wouldn't dare summon it here so easily."

Camillo nodded in understanding, but even so, it was still remarkable.

"You'll be staying here with us for the time being." With that, Lady Moon casually raised her hand, and a dark shadow emerged from the ground, transforming into a ghostly raven.

“Take Camillo to his residence.”

The raven flapped its wings and flew towards the castle.

Seeing this, Camillo quickly followed.

After Camillo left, Lady Moon looked at Uriel and Guleimo: "You two come with me, I need to find a good place to plant the Soul Tree."
