Chapter 3275: Three Holy Seals, Another Coincidence
Arriving at the Kingdom of Radiance once again, Xia Duo felt as if many years had passed, even though he had only just been here a short while ago.
It was also during that time that he had reached the Golden Dragon City District, which did not originally exist, through his interaction with the Holy City, where he had made a group of golden dragon friends and participated in a flight competition.
However, this time he was in a hurry to find a Divine Envoy to help track the Moonshadow Family, so he did not head to the Golden Dragon City District to visit his old friends, but instead attempted to contact Divine Envoy Taide outside the Holy City.
Xia Duo had dealt with this Holy Sword Divine Envoy many times and had even obtained a token from him, so he was the first person Xia Duo contacted upon arriving this time.
If Taide could not help him, he would then try to seek help from other Divine Envoys; the highest-ranking Divine Envoy he currently knew was a Wisdom Divine Envoy, two ranks higher than Taide.
Of course, precisely because that rank was so high, Xia Duo still hoped not to disturb them if possible.
……
Outside the Holy City.
Xia Duo took out Taide's Light Feather, transforming it into a Holy Seal, and then sent out a call to Taide. He had not been able to see Taide during his last visit to the Kingdom of Radiance; it was Taide's friend, the Law Book Divine Envoy Richi, who had responded to his call on his behalf.
Later, that Divine Envoy Richi had even taken Xia Duo to tour the Holy City, leaving a very deep impression on him. If it were Richi who responded to the call this time, it would also be a good choice for Xia Duo.
After all, even if he found Taide and Taide were willing to help, because it involved a Sacred Contract, Taide would likely still find a Law Book Divine Envoy to assist.
Of course, if Taide were there, that would certainly be even better.
While waiting, Xia Duo checked the other two Holy Seals he currently possessed. One of them was a Radiant Seal, representing his status as an official resident of the Kingdom of Radiance; he could stay here as long as he wished.
The other was somewhat special, gifted by the Elf main deity avatar Kelanni. It was a New Moon Holy Seal, mainly used for guidance or navigation in the Outer Planes, capable of leading Xia Duo to the Arvandor Shenguo.
These two Holy Seals, like Taide's Blessing Holy Seal, could be stored separately. For instance, the New Moon Holy Seal gifted by Kelanni could transform into a small white flower, which was very common in Keman.
This was similar to how Taide's Blessing Holy Seal transformed into a Light Feather, and the Radiant Seal could also be stored within a Holy Light Crystal.
Xia Duo had been to the Kingdom of Radiance many times, but he had never once been to the Arvandor Shenguo; it would be impossible not to be curious.
However, compared to the Lord of Radiance, who displayed more of a Divine Nature, the Elf main deity displayed far too much humanity, and Xia Duo was still quite wary of this.
This wariness directly resulted in him not daring to travel to the Arvandor Shenguo alone, even with the New Moon Holy Seal for navigation in hand.
In reality, this New Moon Holy Seal was not something he had wanted himself, but something Kelanni had proactively gifted him, requesting that he go to Arvandor to meet, and he had not refused—mainly because he dared not refuse.
So now, this thing had become a hot potato; giving it to someone else or throwing it away might invite punishment from the Elf main deity, so it could only end up as a collection item at the bottom of his Personal Space.
Even the Radiant Seal showed no divine anomalies while in his Personal Space, and only in this way did he dare to carry the New Moon Holy Seal with him; otherwise, wouldn't he be carrying the Elf main deity's surveillance camera on his person?
And this current check was merely to inspect the state of the Holy Seals within his Personal Space, not to take them out; otherwise, if the Elf main deity discovered he had come to the Outer Planes but did not go to Arvandor, that would be another inexplicable trouble.
……
About a quarter of an hour later, just as Xia Duo thought Divine Envoy Taide might not be around this time either, a beam of strange Holy Light suddenly descended from the sky, and the light then converged to form the tall figure of Divine Envoy Taide.
"Mage Xia Duo, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Divine Envoy Taide. I thought you had gone out to perform official duties again this time!"
"Holy Sword Divine Envoys do indeed have many tasks, but this is all what I should do. If I hadn't suddenly perceived Mage Xia Duo's call this time, I might have had to leave the Holy City for a period again."
"Then would I be disturbing your mission?"
"That depends on the situation. I can probably squeeze out two hours of spare time. I don't know what matter Mage Xia Duo has for me; if the time required exceeds two hours, then it will have to be next time."
Divine Envoys all have a strong sense of time, and Divine Envoy Taide was, of course, no exception. Although he did not refuse Xia Duo, he also stated in advance the time he could spare.
Xia Duo did not understand the time required to find the other party of a Sacred Contract, nor was he sure if two hours would be enough, but since Taide had already come, he would not be so coy as to say nothing.
"It is like this: I signed a Sacred Contract with a family in the Mortal Plane, and now I want to modify some of the terms, but I cannot find them, so I have come to the Kingdom of Radiance to seek a solution."
"Tracking the other party of a Sacred Contract?"
Hearing that it was this kind of matter, Taide could not help but frown. "As far as I know, there is no precedent for this in the Kingdom of Radiance, and I am a Holy Sword Divine Envoy; Sacred Contracts are not within my scope of authority."
Thus, Xia Duo hurriedly added, "That family is related to the Dream Abyss. The Shenyuan Zhidi I previously asked a Divine Envoy to help purify is inseparable from that family!"
Sacred Contracts were indeed not within the scope of authority of the Holy Sword Divine Envoy, but fighting the Abyss was the essential work of a Holy Sword Divine Envoy, so using a Sacred Contract to track the Moonshadow Family could actually be completely regarded as an action to strike at the Abyss.
Of course, since the scope of authority of a Holy Sword Divine Envoy did not include Sacred Contracts, this matter might still require the help of a Law Book Divine Envoy.
Regarding the point Xia Duo added, Taide's interest was clearly greater, and he was more proactive. "Are you certain that the family you want to track is related to the Dream Abyss?"
"One hundred percent certain! I swear in the name of the Lord of Radiance that I am not lying!"
As he spoke, Xia Duo took out the Radiant Seal that represented his Identity Card as a resident of the Kingdom of Radiance. Taide knew the origin of this Holy Seal all too well; it was a reward Xia Duo had obtained for providing a Soul-Binding Spell with a lower Spellcasting threshold for the Abyss Battlefield.
With Xia Duo holding the Holy Seal and swearing to the Lord of Radiance, to Taide, this meant that what Xia Duo said was almost one hundred percent credible.
And even more coincidentally, his mission for going out this time was related to the Dream Abyss; it was a continuation of his previous mission, and that previous mission, as it happened, was also related to Xia Duo.
It was Xia Duo who had discovered traces of the Dream Abyss in the Boundless Wilderness, and then Taide had led his squad to track them all the way, fighting into the Dream Abyss.
He had originally thought this matter had ended there, but who would have thought that traces of the Dream Abyss would also be discovered on the Eternal Night Battlefield, so Taide, who had previously executed relevant missions, was assigned the task again.
This time, and the last time Xia Duo came over, Taide's missions were all related to the Dream Abyss; he had even privately wondered if the Kingdom of Radiance was going to open another Dream Battlefield.
