Chapter 2167: A Peaceful Saturday

"But if such things really happen one after another, I'm afraid that not lighting the lights at night will really become the norm... but what about during the day?"

Xia De asked again, although both incidents happened at night, there is currently no evidence to prove that the light melting phenomenon only happens at night.

"That's something the Church has to worry about. Oh, do you want to go to the scene of last night with me to take a look? The traces left last night are much more obvious than on Thursday night, I think you will be interested."

The crime scene was at the exit of an alley connecting the street, and the street lamp at the corner of the alley happened to illuminate a part of the alley, which was the light that caused last night's tragedy.

Now that place has of course been blocked by the Church, and ordinary people are not allowed to observe or enter, but for Miss Belindell, who is not good at fighting but is very good at other means, these are not problems.

Confirming that the thirteenth-ring warlock "Hand of Radiance" Joshua Brooklyn was not here, the witch took Xia De directly across the blockade and walked in.

The earth wall shaped by the ring-warlock's direct spellcasting was firmly blocked at the entrance of the alley, and behind the earth wall, Xia De saw an area with extremely strong white light even during the day, as well as a black shadow branded on the side wall of the alley.

It is not that the space itself is glowing, but that the soil, the walls of the alley, the wanted posters on the walls, the garbage on the ground, etc., are glowing. And that black shadow is the last trace left by the unlucky guy who "melted into light" last night.

When Xia De and the witch approached, the ring-warlocks from the 【Church of Dawn】 were doing experiments, which was to throw a white mouse into that glowing area.

After the mouse walked in, it was nervous at first because of the abnormality of the light, but its appearance didn't look different. But soon, people watching this scene observed that the white mouse's fur appeared to have a trend of becoming transparent extremely slightly. But this phenomenon proceeded very slowly, and when that white mouse was pulled out of the area, this extremely mild "light-fication" phenomenon, although irreversible, did not spread anymore.

Xia De and the Countess didn't stay in place to discuss, but returned to the manor and walked side by side on the garden path before opening their mouths.

"The situation is indeed more serious than the one on Thursday night. I didn't expect the residual light to penetrate directly into space and matter. It's just that the time is too short, and it's unclear whether this pollution can be eliminated."

Xia De said, and then thought of his "Light-Brightening Spell." After he cast the light-brightening spell, moonlight would also remain on the entities nearby, but those lights would remain for at most ten minutes before the naked eye could not capture them.

"I have studied the disaster situation in the areas where the chosen ones appeared before. From the rules, the situation that appeared at the beginning should not be so serious. This is more like the state of the middle and late stages of the incident."

The Countess said while flipping through the divination cards handed over by the maid behind her:

"And now it has reached the time when the chosen one is about to appear, but the disaster of light out of control has just manifested. This is also wrong, the disaster should happen earlier than the appearance of the chosen one. It looks like someone has suppressed the disaster that should have erupted in the early stage, and it was not until now that it could not be suppressed that the disaster manifested."

"It's the 【Light-Worshipper Training Association】, right? The light they once used, isn't it the light out of control?"

Xia De mentioned this, and the witch subconsciously pressed her right shoulder again, with an indignant expression on her face:

"If this is really the case, from a good point of view, they successfully avoided unnecessary casualties in the local area; but from a bad point of view, they used this light to kill many innocent people in the local area, and the Church could not make targeted arrangements based on the abnormalities that appeared early."

She put down her hand and continued to wash the cards in her hand:

"What's more terrible is that the ultimate goal that the 【Light-Worshipper Training Association】 has always claimed is to transform all human beings into light, which they regard as a way of evolution. Now that they have mastered such terrible means, they only need to find a way to expand the range of abnormal light, and it is easy to destroy a city completely."

Xia De thought of the memory of Mr. Bernhardt before he died in the past life. He died in such a range attack. The scene before the vampire viscount died was a city with an arch, and now it seems that it is likely the Moon Bay under his feet.

Xia De didn't know this when he first arrived, but now he guessed that the appearance of the "Moon Bay Bridge" in the arch style after it was built should be the arch in that memory.

It's just that the things in the memory clearly happened in a more distant "future." After all, that bridge is still under construction. The timeline of the past life is different from the present life, and many things have already proven this point.

Xia De didn't meet Miss Elether this Saturday morning. He naturally had no way to take the initiative to meet that girl. And the Countess, who didn't know what Xia De was doing in Moon Bay this morning, took the initiative to invite Xia De to stay for lunch at noon.

It's just that Xia De refused this time. There was a group meeting at Dr. Schneider's place in the afternoon, so he went to the doctor's place after eating a few bites with Little Mia at home. As expected, he was pulled by the doctor to introduce the current situation:

"The progress is quite good. Thanks to the metals you provided, most of the tricky materials have been collected. If the weather and stars match these days, I am confident that I can complete that weapon before next Thursday."

Although it is midsummer, the daily temperature is actually autumn. However, inside the clinic, the middle-aged psychological doctor with blue eyes was only wearing a white shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, looking very capable.

When he was talking, Xia De also smelled a quite obvious pomegranate juice smell on the doctor, which he thought was also stained when making that alchemy weapon.

"Can you reveal what form that weapon is specifically? Sword? Dagger? Bow and arrow? Bullet?"

"No, no, this is a weapon specifically used to target that demon, not a common weapon form. I'm not sure what it will be shaped into in the end, you'll know when the time comes."

Everyone was present at the meeting this afternoon, and the doctor emphasized the summer exam at the end of the month again. The exam time has been determined, which is the last Sunday of July, the Thunder Month, which is the 27th day of this month, and today is the 12th day of July.

"I know you all have things to be busy with, such as Father Augustus preparing for the Dawn Festival of the Church of Dawn, but please also attach importance to exam review, and take advantage of the time to submit the required course reports to the academy, don't put everything into the exam week at the end of the year."

Although the doctor mentioned the old priest when giving examples, Xia De always felt that he was looking at himself.

Because everyone had a lot of things to do as the exam week approached, this meeting lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Father Augustus and Dorothy both submitted a large number of course papers, and Luwia was considering the elective courses for the second half of this year, so she consulted the Academy of Astronomy about related issues in advance. Dr. Schneider applied for brand-new strange arts from the library, and therefore purchased some special materials.

But Xia De, who knew the inside story, knew that the doctor's actual purpose was those special materials that were not easy to get, namely "Millennium Living Golden Scarab" and "Eyes of Sinful People (with activity)." Under normal circumstances, the academy does not sell these two materials separately.

Xia De himself had nothing else to do this afternoon except submitting a report on time exploration. However, when the group meeting was about to end, Miss Danister sent a letter to Xia De through the poetry manuscript page on the doctor's side, asking him to project to the academy library at seven o'clock tonight to meet.

Others only thought that Miss Danister wanted to talk to Xia De about his recent study situation. Even Luwia only thought that Miss Danister wanted to talk about the situation in Moon Bay. But Xia De probably guessed that tonight's conversation should be about the elf girl arriving in Moon Bay tomorrow.

The "night class" on this Saturday night was taught by Dorothy. However, because Xia De had to meet Miss Danister at seven o'clock, she didn't rush to start the class after dinner, but walked the cat with Xia De in St. Deran Square, and didn't return home until the sky was completely dark.

When Xia De met Miss Danister in the academy library at seven o'clock, the things she mentioned were indeed related to Emilia:

"The matter of the demon is only known to me and the principal now. After all, to dispatch unicorns, I cannot bypass the principal."

She first said this to Xia De, and Xia De nodded to show understanding:

"How do you plan to send the unicorns to Moon Bay? Sea transport? Land transport?"

"No, for safety, use the 【World Travel Manual】 to send them directly. This relic cannot be used many times in a short period of time. Fortunately, it hasn't been used much this year. When do you have time tomorrow? After sending the photos over, we will open the door directly here."

The library management lady asked, and Xia De thought for a while:

"Tomorrow... nine o'clock in the morning. But where should Emilia and the unicorns be placed? I'll go over in advance to familiarize myself with the environment."

Hearing this question, Miss Danister blinked in confusion:

"Wait a minute, isn't placing Miss Synode and the unicorns something you do yourself? The academy is only responsible for issuing tasks and letting them separate. You also know that this matter cannot be known by too many people, so no one in Moon Bay knows about the demon except you." ===== CHAPTER 2168 =====

"Wait a moment, isn't settling Miss Sienuo and the unicorn something you should do yourself? The Academy is only responsible for issuing the mission and having the three of them separate. You also know this matter cannot be known by too many people, so in Moon Bay, apart from you, no one knows about that devil."
