"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Of course, unlike the silver moon power with a slight warmth, in the process of spraying the corrupting blood mist, Xia De felt that his entire lungs and throat were being burned. Therefore, after confirming that the monster really died this time, he coughed several times. But the people around who were nervously watching this scene were afraid that he would open his mouth to "dragon roar" again, and only thought he was deliberately showing weakness.

Xia De didn't care about other people's thoughts either. He greeted Mr. Bernhardt in the distance, first recovered the last body remains of the monster on the sea, and then disappeared on the sea with the vampire Viscount in blood light.

The three from the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 were unconscious, and after the high-ring vampire species from the 【Blood Spirit School】 looked at the three from the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】, they also left separately.

Almost the second after they disappeared, the Dawn Church ring warlock team that had been blocked by Mr. Bernhardt's blood mist for a while finally arrived at the beach. They did not immediately start recording the traces at the scene, but threw out various investigation miracles together to confirm that this inexplicable chaotic battle on the beach had really ended.

After confirming safety, the full 11-person team ended the investigation and approached the three unconscious people. But soon, not-so-good news came. The two whose right arms exploded were already dead, and the cause of death was heart shattering, while the man with a small layer of black dragon scales on his face actually disappeared directly while the sea waves surged up to submerge his "corpse".

"Don't worry about that guy who escaped, his blood is still on the beach, there will be ways to divine later. Those two dead... It seems that in order to keep their secrets, the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 cast a curse on each of them."

The bearded captain of the team guessed, and then looked at the blood water with a foul smell remaining on the pitted sandy ground:

"Scarlet corruption? You guys be careful, don't step on that blood water... What is the background of the ring warlock who used blood mist just now? Does our local area have such a person?"

The tall deputy beside him thought for a while:

"There shouldn't be. In a large diocese like our Moon Bay, high-ring warlocks who master this kind of land-corrupting ability are not allowed to stay for a long time. That vampire species should also have come from outside because of the Chosen One matter. The miracle he used cannot be distinguished, but it doesn't look like a normal miracle."

They didn't suspect the "God-Awakener", after all, the God-Awakener had never shown similar abilities:

"The dragon roar is real, the alchemy items prepared by the church react to that sound, so... a candidate for the Chosen One?"

But this was just a guess.

When the witch and Emilia saw Xia De in the manor, it was already eleven o'clock that night.

Xia De returned from the night with a heavy heart, and the witch took him directly to the restaurant. Emilia didn't really want to eat, but she wanted to hear stories, so she followed, and then saw Xia De handing a few blood-stained bones to the Countess at the dining table:

"This is the skeleton of that vampire monster, please help divine where it has been hiding these days. I think if we can find its hiding place, there will likely be an unexpected surprise."

"Really, don't take this thing out at the dining table."

The witch said with a reproachful tone, but after applying the sealing spell, she let the maid put them away. Miss Matilda arranged for someone to bring a basin of water to wash hands, while little Mia jumped happily from Emilia's arms towards Xia De.

Holding that cat, Xia De's mood became much better.

The maid ladies pushed the dining cart and sent the midnight snack. Considering that the night was already very deep, the midnight snack prepared by the kitchen was not very greasy. Fish rolls, raspberries, fruit tarts, and sliced fluffy cheese filled the table, and the drink was red wine. Xia De was indeed a bit hungry, so after thanking softly, he reached out to eat, and then talked about his experience tonight.

Miss Belinder and Emilia listened very seriously. When Xia De talked about him and Mr. Bernhardt leaving the beach together, Miss Belinder asked from the side:

"Since tonight went very smoothly, why do you still look so worried."

Xia De took a look at Emilia, and seeing that she was very interested, he didn't hide it from her:

"Although not many people appeared tonight, it was already very chaotic. The Dragon Feast Sect, the Blood Spirit School, the New Continent Mutual Aid Society, the church... The current situation is very subtle, everyone is investigating, but no one knows how much intelligence the other party has mastered.

After leaving the beach just now, the people from the New Continent Mutual Aid Society followed me and my friend from a distance, and left contact information. They thought we were a local vampire species force, so they wanted to meet us to talk about some things. I think this should be related to cooperation. But this also means that this organization, which rarely intervenes in the affairs of the Old Continent, probably has its own plans this time."

He touched the cat that was obediently waiting to be fed:

"It feels like the light rain before a storm now."

"【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】? At least their reputation is still quite good."

The witch said, and Emilia also asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Watson, what is the relationship between the local vampire species and those foreign vampire species? My vampire species classmates in the academy always say that the vampire species in the New Continent are all traitors to the clan."

"Yes, my friend also said so. It is hard not to suspect that the intervention of the 【Blood Spirit School】 means they have a new plan. I don't know if the 'Blood Weeper' will appear this time. Although he is considered the weakest 13-ring, he is after all a real 13-ring. Last time I saw him, his right hand was replaced with a mechanical arm. I suspect they have a deeper connection with the 【Truth Society】."

Xia De sighed again, so the Countess with a fat-red birthmark on her brow grabbed his hand:

"Don't worry so much, our helpers will arrive soon. I know what you are worried about, but at least you are doing quite well so far."

As she said this, regardless of Emilia being there, she tilted her head and kissed Xia De on the side of his face. Xia De nodded gently and looked at Emilia again. The elf girl blushed for no reason, and Xia De asked:

"Emilia, are you used to living here today?"

"It's very good here, and the Countess is very good to me too."

She didn't want to add any more trouble to Xia De, and she was indeed living very well here.

Emilia originally thought Xia De would also live here, and even move into Countess Belinder's bedroom, but in fact, after Xia De finished his midnight snack, he returned to his home with the satisfied little Mia.

Worries before going to bed always bring dreams, so he also had a series of strange dreams that night. It was just that when he was woken up on time by the "Little Mia Alarm Clock" early Monday morning, he only remembered that at the end of the dream, the giant red dragon Fiona turned into was entangling its neck with the silver "Moonlight Dragon" he turned into.

"Oh, does this count as a wet dream?"

He thought while stretching, feeling that the dream was very abnormal.

A brand new week didn't bring any changes to the life of the outsider. At the breakfast table, he was still thinking about the things to complete and various plans for this week.

After breakfast, when he was moving the 【God's Gift Box】 from the basement to the upstairs, the sound of knocking on the door actually rang out. Xia De, who was standing on the stairs, turned around to look back. After the sound of the key opening the door disappeared, Luvia and Iluna were standing outside the door, smiling and waving at Xia De:

"Good morning, Xia De, we knew you wouldn't leave home so early on Monday."

A brand new week naturally needs to try to get new gifts. Last week, Emilia, who was staying here, got a yellow scarf with a cat pattern, and this week Xia De took out a pack of white candles.

Those candles were wrapped in paper, and after counting carefully, there were 8 in total. These are not ordinary candles. According to the text instructions on the paper package, these are candles processed through alchemy, and each one can burn for about 24 hours.

Of course, this is still useless to Xia De, but he didn't have much hope in the first place, so he was not disappointed at all. As for this week's task, it is to try not to turn on the lights when going to the bathroom at night, but just light candles for lighting.

Xia De originally thought this was to train the children's ability to use candles, but later realized that this was to train the children's courage.

As for the reason why Luvia brought Iluna to visit so early, it was naturally because of the Moon Bay matter.

"The church gave me a business trip notice, leaving before this Friday, and the specific time has not been booked yet."

Iluna held a teacup, looking eager to try:

"When I was at a low level before, I killed that green dragon by relying on the help of church companions on the same ship. Now I am already 8-ring, I must try to complete the great cause of slaying the dragon alone before reaching the high ring!"

The purple-eyed girl smiled and explained to Xia De from the side:

"This has been Iluna's dream since she was a child. Stories like heroes, dragon slaying, etc., you boys understand better."

"But Xia De, do you know? The unique miracle 【Sunlight Gun】 has a special attack effect on dragon creatures."

Iluna said and made a throwing action of the "Sunlight Gun". Xia De didn't know much about this, after all, the 【Thunder Spear】 he mastered didn't have such an effect:

"Why?"

"According to the church's classics, this is related to the ancient times when the ancient god - the Supreme Sun-Binder hunted ancient dragons."

Although Iluna's daily performance was not too pious, at least she remembered those interesting religious stories very clearly:

"The ancient sun god once walked in the world in the form of a saint. When encountering an evil dragon, he cut off a beam of sunlight as a gun, led mortals to hunt ancient dragons, and taught mortals the skills of hunting giant dragons - this is one of the legends about that ancient god, and it is a miracle of that ancient god that has been passed down to this day. It is precisely because such a miracle once appeared that we mortals who learned about the ancient god's miracles in the Sixth Era can produce special damage effects on giant dragons through the 【Sunlight Gun】."
