Chapter 2050: Invitation, Long Sword, and Night Action

After leaving the church, the group did not return to the manor, but went to the Belindell Big Ben in the city center. Just like when Xia De first came to the local area, the man who sold him "Eternal Light" said, it is not open to the public, and only important members of the Belindell family and the City Council can come here.

Near dusk, the crowd in the Council Square was like weaving. Xia De saw that the time was not early, and originally wanted to say goodbye and leave, to find Mr. Bernhardt to explain the matter of 【Dragon-Feast Cult】, but the witch insisted on letting Xia De stay:

"You helped me today, I want to show you the thing I like most in this city."

The door of the clock tower was opened, and the tower keeper looked at the group of people respectfully as they entered the clock tower. The elevator controlled by the high-power steam engine in the basement was on the innermost side, and even if seven people stood on it, it didn't look crowded.

Miss Matilda pulled the switch on the side pillar, and in the roar from the basement, the elevator carried everyone steadily from the bottom floor to the top floor.

On the viewing terrace, Xia De and the witch stood by the railing together looking at the city night view in the sunset. On the Taton River nearby, sailors and trackers had already finished work, and above the dock area in the distance, you could even see flocks of seagulls flying. The crowd in the Council Square was moving, and vendors, speakers standing on high platforms, and travelers from other places were all watching this novel scene.

"The scenery here is indeed quite good."

Xia De commented, but Miss Belindell was not considering this at this time:

"Do you know, Aunt refused me again just now."

Xia De looked at her unexpectedly, not expecting her to take the initiative to tell him about her family's private affairs.

"This is not a private matter. Since you are walking in Moon Bay, you also have to understand some secrets between nobles."

Looking at the city scenery below, Belindell described the story of the past simply:

"When Aunt Phyllis Belindell was young, her appearance was only a little worse than mine. This is a very vulgar love story in a noble family. Aunt liked a poor boy, but Grandfather opposed her choice. This matter made a fuss in the family for several years, and finally Aunt Phyllis became a nun who would never marry, and never returned home since then."

"What about that man?"

"In the winter of the second year after Aunt became a nun, because he seduced the lover of a local rich businessman, he was beaten to death by the rich businessman's men."

She said lightly:

"The ancient legend involved everyone in the seven families of Moon Bay, and I hope Aunt can move back to live with us for a while, help me find some information, or contact those distant relatives. But it looks like she doesn't want to have anything to do with Belindell at all."

After sighing lightly, she finally asked about Xia De's business this afternoon. Xia De had the opportunity to talk about the four different targets learned from the bathhouse and what happened last night, especially the matter of 【Dragon-Feast Cult】:

"Miss Benanise told me that 【Dragon-Feast Cult】 has a poem fragment related to the selected person of 'Light.' They appeared locally this time, and the one sent was also a seventh-ring sorcerer who had been transformed, which doesn't look like a small action."

"【Dragon-Feast Cult】, 【Light-Seeker Training Association】... Light and Dragon, the ancient god of light 'Dragon of Radiance'... I see."

Seemingly affected by the sunset scenery, she nodded listlessly, not even wanting to divine:

"The progress is good. Does this matter involve the Black family, the Wood family, and the Hawthorne family?"

She thought for a moment:

"Although I trust your ability, they are local big nobles after all. In a while, after dinner, I will give you a few blank letter papers stamped with my private seal, which should be able to help you."

Being able to give this kind of item to Xia De shows that she trusts Xia De very much:

"Is there anything else in a while?"

Xia De nodded:

"I want to find my friend, he is also helping to investigate this matter, I am worried that he doesn't know about 【Dragon-Feast Cult】."

So the witch swallowed the invitation of "Do you want to have dinner together in a while":

"What about tonight?"

"It should be fine."

"That's good, bring relics and spellcasting materials tonight. I interpreted some interesting information from the family's old books. We may have to go on an adventure outside the city tonight."

"Go to visit ancient ruins or something else?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Miss Belindell thought for a moment:

"If my interpretation and divination are not wrong, it should be ancient ruins or hidden caves, but I don't know what the specific situation is. We will go deep into the north of the Moon Bay area, looking for clues in the Black Forest, Whispering Hills, and Poisonous Swamp."

Xia De laughed:

"These three place names look like they were found from fairy tales."

At the top of the clock tower facing the sunset, the smile on his face was so charming in the witch's eyes. Miss Belindell tried hard to control her expression and also showed a faint smile:

"The naming method of forests, mountains, and swamps in the Moon Bay area comes from a more ancient era, and that era was popular with this kind of name... Do you know the exit 'St. George's Stone Bridge' on the northeast side of the city? We will meet there tonight."

After saying goodbye to the witch, Xia De went to the morgue in Spider Lane and told the information about 【Dragon-Feast Cult】 to Mr. Ptolemy Albert, asking him to tell Mr. Bernhardt.

Subsequently, he threw the crystal shoes home, took the cat to have dinner, and then changed into a piece of clothing to prepare for the things at night.

The exit of the Dragon Nest is not far from St. George's Stone Bridge, so Xia De is not in a hurry. After dinner, he brought those "Dragon Scale Coins" obtained from the "Dragon Altar" of the Dragon Nest in the past few days to the basement, and then entered the 【Earth Core Furnace】 in the basement, consumed the experience of "Traveling the Earth," and melted that straight sword that was already sturdy when practicing sword skills with Sister Daifulin at the top of the mountain with those "Dragon Scale Coins."

Just like Miss Miss Jia Lin Na said, the straight sword re-melted through "Dragon

After dancing a few times in the basement, the weight of the straight sword had not changed, but it was inexplicably more handy. Although it was not as exaggerated as making a dragon roar when swung, if one did not compare it with relic-class longswords, this should be considered the best longsword Xia De could find.

Because he didn't want to expose his identity, he definitely couldn't carry the 【Night Watchman】, so Xia De decided to carry this weapon to participate in tonight's operation. Although Miss Belindell said it wouldn't take a long time and if they couldn't find the specific location they would return to the city in the first half of the night, Xia De still decided it was better to be cautious.

He had planned to leave home at seven o'clock, but after night fell and the street lamps around the square lit up, a private carriage without any markings stopped at Xia De's door, and then Princess Lei Qianya, along with Ajielina and the maids, entered No. 6 St. Deran Square.

Seeing that Xia De looked like he was about to go out, Princess Lei Qianya, who was wearing light makeup, asked curiously:

"What are you going to do? Going to see that young elf young lady?"

Ajielina's little ears on the side moved, listening calmly.

"Of course not, going to Moon Bay."

Xia De put the cat on the back of the sofa, walked up and hugged Princess Lei Qianya, looking at his beautiful princess:

"Good evening, are you staying here for the night? I'm leaving in a while and will be back before ten. Oh, almost forgot to say, those goods of yours in Moon Bay are already fine."

Princess Lei Qianya nodded. It was hard to leave Yode Palace to stay overnight, so even if Xia De came back in the second half of the night, she would absolutely not leave because of it:

"I'll give you a reward tonight... What happened in Moon Bay that requires you to be busy so late?"

"The witch there wants me to help with some things. The Great Witch of Fate, she is investigating some things."

Ajielina's little ears moved again, and Princess Lei Qianya shook her head;

"I have heard Miss Jia Lin Na mention that you met a witch in the Moon Bay area, but isn't she going too far, making you help so late? Really, be careful, I'll wait for you at home."

Although she complained, she didn't stop Xia De. Xia De talked to the two princesses for a while longer before walking toward the basement.

Ajielina asked her sister curiously:

"Did you mention elves just now?"

Princess Lei Qianya glanced at her sister, knowing what she was thinking:

"Yes, the books you read should have mentioned this race. The three major academies all have a large number of alien students, but most of them are currently enrolled. Isn't it time for summer off-campus practice now? The young elf Xia De knew before has come to the local area, with golden hair and good looks. After all, she is an elf, and there is still a difference from humans. Her age is definitely older than Aunt Miss Jia Lin Na, but she looks as young as you."

"Then... what is her relationship with Xia De?"

Ajielina asked again, and Princess Lei Qianya smiled and asked:

"Why, do you have a sense of crisis? Oh, my Ajielina, my dear sister, humans have limits, time will make young ladies ruthlessly old, and that elf's appearance will probably not change for decades. However, if the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level is high enough, one can learn many strange arts and secret methods to stop aging. For example, Xia De has a book called "Secret of Eternal Youth," which is a secret magic book passed down by a demigod witch of the Fifth Era. But if you want to learn it, one ring is far from enough."

She wanted to motivate her sister, and Ajielina was indeed motivated, nodding quickly:

"Yes, yes, humans have limits."

She encouraged herself in her heart, and then became more and more curious about the legendary elf.

"Meow~"

Mia hoped that the women who broke into the house could be quiet for a while and not disturb it while it waited for Xia De to come home.
