Demon Hunter: I have a red gourd

Chapter 60 Portal
Could it be that these gems represent the stars in "Starry Eyes Opening and Closing"?
Ivan tapped the gems one by one, and each gem flashed when touched, which further confirmed his idea.

"It seems that I need to touch these gems in a specific order to make them flash together and achieve the effect of 'star eyes opening and closing'."

"In what order?" In the elves' culture, there is only one galaxy related to the hexagram in Ivan's memory.

The color of the gem in front of us just happens to match the characteristics of this galaxy.

【Moon in Deer】

According to the records in the ancient elf book "Lunar Shadow Tour", the order of the main stars of Luna rising is:
The Deer Hoof Star—corresponding to Lapis Lazuli—symbolizes new growth breaking through the earth.

The exposed star - corresponding to the moonstone - symbolizes the condensation of morning dew.

The Leaf Vein Star - corresponding to the emerald - symbolizes the spreading of branches and leaves.

Shadow Bloom Star - corresponding to Fire Opal - symbolizes pupil dilation.

The horn star - corresponding to amber - symbolizes dripping resin.

The crown star - corresponding to the amethyst - symbolizes the return of the stars to their proper places.

The moment his fingertips touched the last gem, the amethyst, all six gems simultaneously emitted a soft light, then quickly disappeared.

Then, they woke up again, lit up at the same time, and then slowly dimmed, rising and falling with the breathing, flickering like eyes opening and closing.

It seems that the conditions for "Starry Eyes Opening and Closing" have been met. I didn't expect that the miscellaneous books that my predecessor read in his spare time in Kel Siren would come in handy at this moment.

So what about "Silver Tears" next?

The literal meaning is easy to understand. The hexagram rune on the stone slab is carved on it, forming grooves. The meaning of "Silver Tears Washing Pattern" is probably to pour the liquid "Silver Tears" into the grooves to wash these runes.

So the question was, what exactly were "Silver Tears"? Ivan searched his memory but couldn't find any record of them in any book.

Could it be the holy water of the elves, or the tears of young elves? But he couldn't get it now.

Having come this far, should we just give up?

Ivan tried pouring clean water into the groove. The water flowed quickly and spilled all over the ground, but the magic circle did not react at all.

Damn it, I still can’t do it?

The sky grew brighter, and soon the third condition, "The Ancient Gatekeeper Drinks the Moon and is Reborn," would no longer be met. Just as Ivan was about to give up and go back to look up information on what the Silver Tears were, he suddenly thought of something.

This silver tear is most likely a liquid containing magic. Although he does not have such a liquid, he has something far more advanced than it.

Try brewing it with lamb, how about that? This is the spiritual wine from the mythical world. In this world, no matter what strange holy water there is, it can't compare to it.

With this idea in mind, Ivan immediately took action. He uncorked the red gourd at his waist and poured a few drops of the lamb wine into the groove on the stone slab.

The rich aroma of wine filled the air, and a few drops of wine fell into the groove. To his surprise, the liquid did not flow down like clear water, but stayed there, emitting a faint luster.

Seeing this, Ivan's heart moved, and without hesitation, he poured more lamb wine. As the wine in the grooves increased, the entire magic circle gradually began to emit a faint silver light.

At the same time, the witcher emblem on Ivan's chest vibrated more and more violently, as if sensing some powerful magical fluctuation. Suddenly, the silence was broken by a deep, distant chant. From nowhere, countless voices intertwined, reciting the ancient incantation in unison:

"The starry eyes open and close, the silver tears wash away the lines, and the ancient gate will drink the moon and be reborn."

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, as if it was the roar when the world was first created. Everything around was shocked by the noise. Birds fled in panic, the mountains and forests trembled, and even time and space seemed to be frozen at this moment.

An orange-yellow portal suddenly tore through the void and appeared above the stone slab.

The edges of the portal twisted and shifted, like liquid metal constantly flowing. Orange-yellow light surged freely within the portal, surging like a tidal wave, layer upon layer, sometimes violent, sometimes gentle.

The violent roar was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ivan's head hard, shaking him dizzy. It seemed as if there were thousands of bees buzzing wildly in his head.

The world before my eyes was spinning, and all the scenes were distorted into chaos.

It took a long time for Ivan to recover. He shook his head subconsciously, trying to dispel the dizziness that was enveloping him like a dark cloud.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the portal floating above the stone slab.

Did you make it?

This portal should be the entrance to the elven ruins.

Ivan stood up and rubbed his temple. The loud noise had nearly knocked him unconscious, but as a young demon hunter, he quickly recovered and regained his ability to think.

The sun is about to come out, and by then, under the moonlight, this portal for drinking the moon and being reborn will most likely disappear.

Do you want to go in? This is a rare opportunity, of course! Otherwise, why would he go through so much trouble?
However, as a demon hunter, you still have to be prepared in advance.

He returned to Chi Yan's side - the chestnut horse was also stunned by the loud noise just now, and was now foaming at the mouth.

After calming the horse with the Axis sign, Ivan took out an unlit torch from the leather bag on the horse's back, and then took out his potion belt and wrapped it around his waist.

Then, he took out a bottle of cat's eye potion and drank it, and then took out many small brown bottles and inserted them into the potion belt one by one.

It's common sense to drink Cat's Eye first when exploring ruins. As for other potions, it's because you don't know what you'll encounter inside, so it's better to prepare some of them.

When he left the academy castle, the alchemical bomb that his mentor had made for him had been used up in the battle with the strange griffin. Apart from these potions and torches, Ivan had nothing else to prepare.

He took a deep breath, adjusted the two swords behind him, and walked to the front of the portal.

I've heard that portals don't feel good, but I won't vomit the first time I ride one, right?

Ivan tensed his muscles, exerted force with his legs, and leaped up like an arrow, diving straight into the orange-yellow portal!
At the moment when Ivan's figure was completely submerged, the portal on the stone slab seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, twisting and deforming.

With a muffled "bang", the portal disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the flickering light dissipated into the air.

The runes on the stone slab gradually dimmed and returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream.
