Chapter 2132: Sword and Light
After agreeing on the time to meet Miss Belindell tomorrow, Xia De, who was exhausted for a day, finally returned to his home in Tobesk.
Because Emilia was staying here temporarily, the house was of course lit. Luweiya's shoes were in the shoe cabinet in the foyer on the first floor. It seemed that the purple-eyed fortune teller lady took Emilia to visit the Fortune Teller Association in the afternoon and came back with her.
Little Mia, with sensitive ears, ran downstairs happily as usual to welcome Xia De. Luweiya, who was discussing St. Byrons Academy life with Emilia upstairs, also smiled and said to the elf girl:
"The intelligence of Xia De's cat can exceed our expectations every time. Because of its intelligence, Xia De has asked me to divine many times whether Little Mia is..."
"Meow-woo~ Meow-woo~"
She stopped her words and looked at the direction of the stairs with Emilia. They both heard the "threat" sound made by the cat, and then also heard Xia De's explanation with a hint of "panic":
"What are you doing? Don't you recognize me? Wait, I didn't hold any other cat. What are you angry about... but that's a ghost cat... No, souls can have a smell? How did you smell it? I helped it find its owner, it just rubbed against me to thank me, I really just held it for a while, and then let it crouch on my shoulder."
"Meow-woo!"
Luweiya stood up with a smile. When she came to the living room door, she happened to see Xia De still playing with the cat.
She didn't intend to help Xia De, but reminded him:
"Go change your clothes and prepare to project to see Miss Danister. About an hour ago, your poetry manuscript page received a letter from her asking to see you. I think it's probably because of Moon Bay."
"I know, I'll go now. Oh, Luweiya, help me control Little Mia. Mia, where did you get this competitive spirit? Emilia, Emilia, come and help me."
But Luweiya stopped the elf girl:
"Who told you to always be flirting outside, finally angered Little Mia, right?"
It's hard to say whether this sentence of hers had any other meaning.
Miss Danister asking to see Xia De on this Tuesday night was of course because of what happened on the dock in Moon Bay on the stormy night last weekend. The projection of the deep-sea evil thing appearing in the offshore of Moon Bay, and the news of the "Moonlight Dragon" that appeared afterward, could not possibly be hidden from the three major academies. And compared with them, the three dragons and those dragon knights found by the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 were not so conspicuous.
When Xia De appeared in the central open space of the St. Byrons library, the red-haired female warlock immediately let the photo on the glass coffee table fly in front of Xia De:
"Xia De, don't tell me this has nothing to do with you."
Because it was taken at night, and the photographer's hand was very shaky, the scene of the stormy night at the Moon Bay dock in that black-and-white photo was quite blurry, and the figure of the silver giant dragon was even more blurry. Compared with those photos Dorothy took for Xia De on Green Island, this photo had no beauty at all, and if Xia De wasn't a participant, he almost wouldn't have recognized that the blurry thing was a glowing silver giant dragon.
Seeing Xia De looking at the photo with an inquisitive expression, Miss Danister didn't wait for him to answer, but teased him:
"So, the high-ring strange technique you asked me about last week was actually Dragon Transformation?"
She assumed that Xia De was that silver giant dragon. Xia De put down the photo and immediately denied:
"The strange technique I asked about wasn't this, transformation was just an accident. And I can't easily turn into a dragon again. After all, I only have seven rings, I don't have such powerful power."
He didn't deny that he was that dragon.
The photo flew back into Miss Danister's hand. She glanced at the dragon and then at Xia De, as if trying to forcibly connect the two:
"So you still insist that anyone could be the Chosen One, but only you couldn't be?"
"Yes, although I turned into a dragon, the Chosen One of Light definitely has nothing to do with me."
Xia De said quite affirmatively, so Miss Danister shook her head with a smile:
"Every time I see you saying things with a serious expression, I feel it's very interesting. Then I believe you this time too. After all, it was the same the previous few times. Calling you here this time was just to confirm the dragon matter. You really surprised me. I didn't know you were so proficient in transformation before."
After saying this, she looked at the dragon again:
"During the background investigation, it wasn't discovered that you were a dragon descendant. Can a non-dragon descendant transformer turn into a dragon so purely... but I want to remind you, your own transformation must be gradual. It is the normal order to gradually transition from ordinary creatures to supernatural creatures. Turning into a dragon for people like us who don't have the slightest dragon bloodline can be considered the most difficult type of transformation."
She didn't explore Xia De's approach at the time, but asked:
"Do you need me to recommend a few professors who are good at transformation? The School of Political Economy and the School of Chemistry indeed have a few transformation masters."
"No need for now, my transformation is different from ordinary transformation."
Seeing Xia De decline, Miss Danister didn't insist, and turned to other topics:
"I don't care what you do in Moon Bay, but you must pay attention to safety. That unusual silver giant dragon appeared two days ago. Now this news has probably spread to every corner of the material world. The Academy is also discussing when to send people to Moon Bay, but the problem at present is that there is no very clear clue indicating that the Chosen One of Light must be in Moon Bay."
Although Moon Bay has indeed happened many things, just the appearance of the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 is enough to make people think of many things, but there is indeed no conclusive evidence.
"Does the Academy and the church have any information about this seventh Chosen One in the poetry manuscript fragments?"
Xia De then asked curiously, and Miss Danister nodded;
"After you brought me the news of Moon Bay last time, I did take time to investigate. In fact, there are quite a few fragments about the 'Chosen One of Light,' but most of them don't have directional content. 【Justice】 and 【Dragon】 and 【Light】 are the three most important keywords about this Chosen One. Besides that, from the news shared by the Zalas College of Arts, this Chosen One ritual involves very complex content, related to a sword."
"Oh?"
Xia De immediately raised his spirit. The message "Dragon is not important, what is important is justice, and the one who draws the sword will also be justice" given by the black cat in the evening contained "sword," but the situation he currently understood had never mentioned "sword."
Miss Danister said:
"The ancient god-Dragon of Radiance, before leaving at the beginning of the Second Era, once used his huge power and tail bone to forge a 'Sword of Light.' The fragments mastered by the Zalas College of Arts show that this Chosen One ritual is related to drawing that sword."
Seeing Xia De still puzzled, she understood very well:
"Not only you, even I heard about the so-called 'Sword of Light' for the first time. You have been busy in Moon Bay these days, and I haven't been idle either. You know, the Dawn Church actually has a great connection with the cult of the ancient god Dragon of Radiance. They seem to know something, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. But what can be confirmed is that the 'Light-Worshipping Seminar' that has already appeared in the Moon Bay area is also related to that ancient cult, and they are highly likely to know something too."
Since this matter was mentioned, Xia De also had news to share:
"The 【Dragon Feast Cult】 is actually related to that ancient god of light and dragon."
"What?"
Miss Danister didn't understand:
"Isn't the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 a group composed of believers of that evil god? What does it have to do with the ancient god?"
"During my investigation in Moon Bay, that is, last Sunday night, I discovered some ancient secrets: that great being 'Dragon-Eating Demon' is highly likely the nameless eldest son of the ancient god of dragon."
Although this is news involving gods, even if a thirteen-ring warlock heard it, there wouldn't be problems due to the pollution of the information itself. Miss Danister was shocked. It was indeed the first time she knew this. The birth of old gods and the departure of ancient gods have always been taboos that cannot be explored, even if she is thirteen rings.
But if what Xia De said is true, then she understood even less why the eldest son of the ancient god would go to devour dragons:
"There is such a thing... In short, when you investigate in Moon Bay, pay attention to the rumors about the sword. It cannot be determined whether that sword is a relic, or even whether that sword has a physical entity. But once the position of the sword is determined, or the ritual to summon the sword, basically the Chosen One ritual this time can be determined."
Xia De nodded and noted down these contents, thinking in his heart that since humans don't know, maybe dragons know about that sword. Although he doesn't know dragons in the Sixth Era today, if he could see Fiona again, Fiona might be able to provide some news.
"Also, the kind of light that can melt matter used by the 【Light-Worshipping Seminar】 you mentioned last time, I also found it."
While Xia De was thinking, Miss Danister said again:
"This matter really found a big problem."
The file bag on the table flew toward Xia De, the bag opened automatically, and displayed many files and photos in front of Xia De one by one:
"Where should I start... You should have heard that since hundreds of years ago, rumors of human spontaneous combustion in the sun have appeared one after another."
"Yes, I have heard of it. Even in the literature of those more ancient eras, one or two examples of similar things were mentioned, but there are many strange things in the material world. The truth of such things is unknown, and even if it is true, it is difficult to have a specific explanation."
Xia De said while reading the data, and the library manager lady reminded:
"These are not rumor stories, this is the mutation of light. Because of reasons still unknown, in a very low probability, the seemingly harmless light around us will assimilate any object that touches the light into light." ===== CHAPTER 2133 =====
