Chapter 2116: The Story Unfolding

The two didn't chat much about the topic of "God-Caller." Although Xia De only admitted the "Night Watcher" long sword, this actually confirmed his identity. It's just that now is not the time to fully confess everything. He still chose to wait for the witches to gather in Moon Bay before informing them of the things involving his core secrets.

However, Xia De was also glad that he suddenly turned into a dragon last night. In this way, the countess's attention was all placed on the "dragon," and she didn't care about the fact that he drew down thunder with his sword before turning into a dragon. Originally, Xia De was worried that she would see something because of this. Now it seems that the "Adele's Principle of Reversibility" released through Xia De's hands is still very different from that Time Witch.

"The light contains thousands of colors, which is why dragons of different colors appear. Although the 'Moonlight Dragon' is just the effect of your transformation art, no one can deny that it is indeed a dragon."

The vermilion birthmark between her eyebrows continued to tremble with the frowning action:

"You said at the beginning that you had the power of a red dragon, and now you have turned into a 'Moonlight Dragon'. Are you really not the Chosen One of Light? That moonlight is really charming."

"Maybe you should suspect that I am the Chosen One of the Moon."

"She" in his ear also smiled at this time, and Xia De shook his head:

"The topic of whether I am a Chosen One doesn't need to be discussed; it's impossible for me to be. But after what happened last night, I think all parties will move."

"Yes, the abnormal dragon has appeared in Moon Bay, and the story of the brand-new Chosen One has unfolded. The shadow of the ancient race is hovering over the land of Moon Bay. Who knows where fate will throw the olive branch this time."

She spoke as if she were performing an opera:

"The church and those illegal organizations that intend to get involved in the quota of the Chosen One go without saying. The seven major families of Moon Bay will also take action. What they care about is not the supernatural world that is far from ordinary people; what they care about is whether they will be destroyed in the predicted disaster. Our ancestors bore the grace, and our ancestors enjoyed power and wealth generation after generation, but it is our generation's turn to pay the price."

This was not expressing her dissatisfaction; in fact, she was looking forward to the arrival of this day:

"The family's bloodline destined me to face this day, and I have been looking forward to the arrival of the fate in the prophecy. I am a diviner; peeking into the future and understanding fate is my mission. When that destined disaster descends on Moon Bay, I will represent the Beilian De family to make our choice at the moment of destruction."

Looking at her high-spirited appearance, Xia De asked again:

"You seem to be sure that the prophecy will definitely come true?"

The blonde witch nodded slightly, and at the same time placed her hand on her right shoulder:

"Especially after you put the relic here, the starry sky is further revealing its mysteries to me. Moon Bay City will inevitably be destroyed in a disaster, and the death star hanging above the whole city is like the sun in the night sky in my eyes. But the situation is good now. Those family books that they originally refused to open to me might be shown to me now that they are all facing trouble because of the giant dragon."

"Then who are the allies of the Beilian De family?"

The witch looked at the man in front of her and said softly:

"Where are there any real allies? But if you really have to say, the Wood family should be trustworthy."

The impact caused by the great battle last night was not something the witch could explain to Xia De in a few sentences. Whether it was three dragons attacking the port or the projection of a deep-sea evil object appearing in the near sea, these were things that had not happened in the material world for hundreds of years of peace. The appearance of that silver "Moonlight Dragon" had already made the church begin to suspect that the "God-Caller" was once again the first to know the secret of the Chosen One. And the high-ring cultists of the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 who appeared last night also made the church realize that this cult group, which was originally thought to have declined, actually still has powerful power in today's steam age.

Citizens are discussing dragons and prophecies, while the church is worried about what the brand-new disaster that affects the whole world will be when the seventh Chosen One appears.

The countess also warned Xia De not to make a big stir in the city for a period of time. The church's nerves are highly tense, and the Ringed Shushi in the city are waiting for them to catch the cultists of the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 to vent their anger. No one wants to be specially focused on by the church at this time.

Therefore, although she had found a sewer map near the "Crowley Steam Bath" for Xia De, she still didn't suggest Xia De explore it today:

"The church suspects that those cultists are hiding in the sewer pipes, and is now searching the sewers throughout the city. If you go today, you will probably bump into the church's team."

Xia De stayed by Miss Beilian De's side until eleven o'clock this morning. They were not in the manor all the time. After nine o'clock, they set off together to the City Council. Xia De acted as a scribe on the side and participated in the meeting of the Moon Bay City Council.

And during the meeting break, Count Martin Eddington and the elderly Count Leonard Hawthorne found Bella Beilian De and talked to her about what happened last night. The two elderly counts did not look down on Miss Beilian De because of her age and gender, and they recognized her ability:

"Should we find time to gather? If this city really faces disaster, the glorious seven families also have the responsibility to guard it."

The three counts looked at the temporarily resting council hall. Treating this city as their own territory, they all believed that the legend would definitely come true. Therefore, after just a few sentences of conversation, they set a banquet to be held on Thursday night under the pretext of the full moon of Count Hawthorne's little granddaughter. After the two counts left, the countess, who was wearing a black dress and a veil on her face, said to Xia De on the side:

"What they say, even the punctuation marks cannot be trusted. If it weren't for the possibility of endangering their power and property, even if half of the people in Moon Bay City died, they would only laugh on the podium and say things like 'I felt that the urbanization of Moon Bay City was too serious before'... Accompany me to the banquet on Thursday. If you want to dance, please act as my male partner."

Xia De heard that this was a formal banquet invitation:

"Of course, this is my honor, madam."

Xia De nodded and said, and the countess looked quite worried:

"There are more and more things recently. Fortunately, I still have Matilda and you by my side. If I hadn't asked you to come over to help from Vanessa at the beginning, I couldn't imagine how I would deal with the current situation. Look at that person over there."

She pointed to the man in black sitting in the first row on the far right of the council hall, who was talking to a man wearing a wig whom Xia De didn't know:

"That is..."

"A visitor from Willondale. Willondale has never given up on canceling the special independence right of Moon Bay City and bringing the power of the seven families under the Anjou royal family. Now the north and south regions are at daggers drawn, and Moon Bay has once again become the focus on the national border. Now the seven families not only have to face that prophecy, but also have to face the political pressure from Willondale... even rumored that the killer Gray Hawk, the ace of the Gray Gloves, has also come to the local area."

She sighed, and seeing Xia De's strange expression, she asked again:

"I remember you are a double agent, you wouldn't know Gray Hawk, right? More than ten years ago, he assassinated quite a few people in Moon Bay, which caused that referendum on Moon Bay City's independence, which was almost completed, to be canceled. The seven families were all involved at that time. My age was still small, but I also remember that everyone was panicked at every gathering. Fortunately, we survived in the end."

"Gray Hawk, um, indeed know, everyone is a colleague."

He was too embarrassed to say that the place where he sleeps every night is the place where Gray Hawk passed away last summer.

After saying goodbye to Miss Beilian De at the entrance of the City Council after eleven o'clock, Xia De hurried to Spider Alley. The meeting time originally agreed with Mr. Bernhardt was ten-thirty, and he was a full hour late, but fortunately, the vampire viscount also arrived late.

Armand Bernhardt arrived ten minutes later than Xia De. When he sat down opposite Xia De, he kept apologizing:

"I'm really sorry, I was blocked by other things this morning. You also know about what happened last night. A friend of mine was affected by the battle near the pier last night, and I went to visit him this morning."

"I just arrived too, what happened last night was indeed thrilling. Mr. Bernhardt, let's postpone our original plan to explore the sewer today to tomorrow; today is really not suitable for doing this."

"No problem."

This vampire viscount also knew that the church was searching the whole city today:

"Last night..."

He lowered his voice slightly, looked left and right before asking Xia De:

"You wouldn't happen to be there, right?"

"Why would you think so?"

Xia De, holding a wine glass with inferior black tea, asked. Mr. Bernhardt answered as a matter of course:

"Oh, you are in Moon Bay, and Moon Bay broke out in a major event, of course, I thought of you in the first place. Remember Mibao, Huntington's things? So, last night you..."

Seeing Xia De nod slightly, he gasped, and then tentatively asked:

"Then, the dragon that is rumored to be bigger than the mountains..."

"It did appear, but it shouldn't be that big. And, at that time, a phantom of an evil object also appeared."

Xia De briefly described what happened last night in the third person. Mr. Bernhardt covered his mouth and listened, naturally hearing that the young man across the table was definitely not just a bystander. After listening, he poured a drink and said things like "I knew it" and "It seems I can't stay in Moon Bay for too long."

Xia De comforted again:

"The Moonlight Dragon last night will not be the dragon in the ancient legend of Moon Bay that will inevitably destroy the city. Instead, that dragon protected this city."

"But since the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 can come up with three dragons, there should be more dragons. Why does it feel like since last autumn, wherever I go, something will happen?"

The vampire viscount complained melancholically, while "She" in Xia De's heart asked with a smile:

【How do you know that the one who finally destroys this city is not that Moonlight Dragon?】

"Because I am..."

He paused and then sighed as well, because he really couldn't deny this possibility. ===== CHAPTER 2117 =====
