Chapter 2133: Sword of Light

Miss Danister said while manipulating the files to fly around Xia De:

"The first confirmed 'light spontaneous combustion/light melting' phenomenon in this era occurred in 403 of the Common Era of the Sixth Era, and then it would appear once every hundred years or so. By modern times, that is, after the record in 1513, the frequency of such accidents with unknown causes suddenly increased, but it was only one or two people dying every few decades. Compared with other threats faced by the material world, the danger of this kind of thing is actually extremely low."

Although she said it very cruelly, this is also a fact. After all, even the sacrifices brought by the progress of ordinary people's scientific technology are not so low. This strange "light spontaneous combustion/light melting" phenomenon not only has damage limited to a certain unlucky individual, but this phenomenon will not spread or propagate. Even if this is an event-type relic, it would probably only be classified as poet-level or document-level.

"And after entering the nineteenth century of our current Sixth Era, the frequency of similar events has become higher. Especially in the last few decades, almost one or two confirmed 'light spontaneous combustion/light melting' events occur every month. The church therefore specially set up case files to record this series of situations in recent years, and according to your description, the means used by the 【Light-Worshipping Seminar】 are very similar to similar events."

The last few photos in the file bag were records of the residual limbs of the victims of "light spontaneous combustion/light melting," but because of the rapidity of "light melting," even if there were ring warlocks on the scene and pulling the limbs outside the light to pull the victims out of the "light," what was finally rescued was only broken limbs with flat cross-sections.

Xia De only looked at it for a few times, and had a guess:

"Actually, light spontaneous combustion/light melting is a disaster produced by the world itself, similar to 'earth filth'? And the 'Light-Worshipping Seminar' has mastered this strange light because of unknown reasons?"

"Very likely. And at present, even the church has not found measures to counter this kind of light. If you can't dodge it, no matter who it is, they will melt into this light."

Miss Danister looked at him with some worry:

"So you must be careful when acting in Moon Bay. Natural phenomena won't care who you are."

"Don't worry, actually I have a way to resist that kind of light, but it also needs reaction time."

This refers to 【Calamity Card · Shadow of the Deep Sea】.

"However, according to the previous laws, this kind of disaster that appears because of the distortion of the world's rules themselves will appear frequently in the area where the Chosen One is about to appear."

Xia De said again, and Miss Danister nodded:

"Yes, so it is almost certain that Moon Bay City will face trouble. Or rather, this kind of thing has already appeared in Moon Bay, but the local people didn't realize it. In the headless serial murder case you mentioned, the neck cross-sections of those corpses are quite smooth, which is very like the cross-section after melting. It seems that someone has already mastered the means of using this harm."

Xia De took a deep breath:

"In this way, the cooperating 【Dragon Feast Cult】 and 【Light-Worshipping Seminar】, one is exploring the secret of dragon-blood creatures, and the other is pursuing the answer of light, and dragon and light are the two most important authorities of that ancient god. For the sake of the Chosen One qualification, I am afraid that neither of these organizations minds destroying Moon Bay City. After all, last Sunday night, the projection of the evil thing had already been summoned."

Miss Danister knew what he meant:

"Even if I tell you not to intervene in the Moon Bay matter, I am afraid you won't agree. After the Academy and the church coordinate, they can send people to Moon Bay, but I think it's better for me to lead the team. Before that, you must pay attention to safety."

"I understand. Speaking of which, there is also Emilia's matter..."

He stopped halfway, and Miss Danister had also heard about this matter:

"That girl from the Moon Creek clan was targeted by cultists during her time in Tobesk, right? You want to plead for her, let her stay in Tobesk until the end of the summer off-campus practice? If you open your mouth to me, I can help you handle this matter."

Xia De originally wanted to say this, but he was also worried that Emilia would encounter other things if she stayed here, so after considering it again and again, he finally shook his head:

"Listen to the school's arrangement. If she is to go back, I will send her to the train station; if she can stay, I will let her report to me every day. I also really want to let Emilia play freely for a few days during the summer vacation, but safety is important after all. She is an elf and has a long life, and there will be opportunities to go to Tobesk City in the future."

The red-haired female warlock showed a smile:

"Very good, perfect answer.

Although the matter of her violating the rules and leaving school so many times is no longer pursued, it is also very necessary to let her know how dangerous this world is. This is also the significance of off-campus practice. I think Emilia will learn a lesson this time... Where is she staying now?"

"Staying in my house, she was still helping when setting up the projection ritual."

Miss Danister then warned:

"Although the Academy does not oppose free love, Emilia Siamonode, who is fifty-three years old, still belongs to an underage elf girl in the traditional concept of elves. Do you understand?"

"Understand... wait, are you implying... this is explicitly stating that I am a person who does bad things, right?"

Xia De widened his eyes, and the red-haired female warlock laughed very happily.

Because Emilia was also at home, after the projection ended, Xia De didn't inform Luweiya of the news he got from the cat in the evening and just now from Miss Danister for the first time.

Seeing that it was still early, after ending the meeting with Miss Danister, Xia De told Luweiya and Emilia in his study about the cat this afternoon. The girls were also very touched by this story. When Xia De talked about the cat finally leaving with its mother, the sentimental Emilia even sobbed.

Of course, Xia De still didn't mention that he was in Moon Bay in front of Emilia.

Nothing else happened this night. It seemed that Luweiya didn't intend to leave tonight, probably because she was worried about leaving Emilia alone at Xia De's place overnight. This era lacks evening entertainment, so for the rest of the night, Xia De and Luweiya went to the study to prepare for the summer exam week at the end of the month.

As for Emilia, although St. Byrons has no concept of "summer homework," Xia De still remembered that she had learned Ancient Elf language at his place. So while reviewing exam subjects, Xia De found a few books written in Ancient Elf language brought back from Green Island and asked Emilia to translate them:

"Let me see how much you have learned from the notebook I gave you. After translating, I will give you a score. If the grade is not qualified, I can give you tutoring a few times in the following nights. Oh, Emilia, although elf life is longer than humans, don't waste the night time on reading the novels written by Dorothy."

"Cough cough."

Luweiya coughed a few times.

"I mean, even if you are not at school during the summer vacation, you cannot give up learning. If you learn now, you can be more excellent than those classmates who didn't pick up a pen for the whole vacation after school starts. Then after school starts, you can take advantage of the time when everyone is asleep at night to extract more time to study. In this way, gradually, you can become the most excellent elf in the whole grade."

Xia De swore that when Emilia was holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other and listening to him say this, the expression on her face was really wonderful.

Of course, he didn't force Emilia to study, just wanted her to feel the atmosphere of the study at night. So while reading together, Xia De didn't forget to ask about Emilia's life today, and they even played a few games of checkers to pass the time during breaks—Luweiya refused to play Rod cards with Xia De.

By around ten o'clock, the three returned to their rooms to rest. Luweiya of course went to the master bedroom with Xia De, while Emilia hugged Little Mia and went to the guest bedroom again.

After the door closed, the purple-eyed girl in her nightgown pulled the curtains by the window in a good mood, and only then did Xia De talk about the information obtained today.

Luweiya waited until he finished speaking before opening her mouth:

"The abnormal light should be the disaster this time, but I didn't expect that someone could master the method of using this disaster... What is the difference between this and pushing the end of the world to arrive earlier?"

"Have you heard of the Sword of Light?"

Xia De asked again, and Luweiya shook her head:

"Never heard of it."

Saying this, she walked to the desk in the bedroom and looked at the three coins placed on the table:

"Why, are you in such a hurry to let me divine now? There are too few clues, even if these coins are used, the entire content of the Chosen One ritual cannot be divined."

"This time, although the matter has already happened, Moon Bay is still calm on the surface. I am really worried... Use one coin to divine the so-called 'Sword of Light.' I know it is related to ancient gods, it is impossible to know all the information, then at least give me some basic knowledge. I originally thought the Chosen One ritual was related to those dragon scales."

Luweiya naturally had no objections, so she picked up one of the remaining three special coins,

The relic turned into fly ash and disappeared during the descent. Opening her eyes, Luweiya let out a muffled groan, and leaning on the tabletop, she nearly fell. Xia De hurriedly reached out to support her:

"Don't speak yet, sit down first."

Helping Luweiya to sit on the edge of the bed, the young lady diviner shook her head gently:

"It's alright, it's just that this divination involved a god, so the mental pressure was a bit greater. Miss Dannister was right; that so-called 'Sword of Light' is indeed a creation left behind by an Ancient God. It is not a relic; it is even more mysterious than the god-made items you possess, such as the 【God's Gift Box】 and the 【Butterfly-Calling Flute】. I did not see the specific information about that sword, only that only someone who possesses a 'Heart of Justice' can pull it out."
