Chapter 2177

"Meow~"

After Iluna finished the story of the ancient god, the cat lying on Xia De's lap probably meowed because it was touched too comfortably by Xia De.

Luvia nodded, but she obviously didn't come for this topic this morning:

"Xia De, how is the situation in Moon Bay?"

"Still the same, but all major organizations are surfacing, and the calamity of light is gradually appearing. The haze of the giant dragon is still shrouding the city, but the seven major families have their own ghosts, and I find it hard to evaluate the behavior of those nobles."

He briefly described the chaotic battle last night, Luvia nodded, and said to Xia De and Iluna:

"Although it is impossible for you, Xia De, to be the Chosen One, and Iluna doesn't look like a candidate for the Chosen One of Light now, this does not mean that you are not qualified to pull out the 'Sword of Light'. I have a requirement for you. During your operations in Moon Bay, you must try to do more 'righteous things'. As for what righteousness is, whether it depends on thoughts, original intentions, or what is actually done, I will not discuss this with you, but your actions must be righteous."

Paused for a moment and added:

"Of course, this is not a 100% requirement, just a reminder for you to pay attention to this point. If one of you two is the first to pull out the Sword of Light, even if the Chosen One ceremony is not held, it can allow us to have the upper hand."

"Luvia, do you know the ceremony to obtain the 'Sword of Light'?"

Iluna asked in surprise, and Xia De also looked at her. The purple-eyed diviner lady smiled and shook her head:

"No, but I found some interesting information within the association. This is not easy, after all, I don't want others to know what I checked. Although the association doesn't have a complete record of the ceremony, at least there is information about that sword in the data. I won't repeat the part of the data that Xia De has already inquired about. The brand new news is that the Sword of Light will not cause harm to righteous people."

"Wait, do you mean that if I am a righteous person, even if I stand still, the weapon forged by the power of the ancient god will not hurt me if it cuts me?"

Xia De asked, and Luvia shook her head:

"If it really stabs you, as long as the sword itself is physically present, it will definitely cause damage. It's just that its special power will not have an effect on righteous people. If the opponent of that sword is a righteous person, then it is just an ordinary long sword."

"But how should righteousness be defined?"

The eighteen-year-old girl asked, and then saw Xia De and Luvia both looking at her, the latter even said with gratification:

"Very good, Iluna, you who master the power of balance should think about this question even more. But you shouldn't seek answers from us, instead, we should seek answers from you. After all, you are the one holding the scales."

Iluna was thoughtful, and Xia De continued the topic just now:

"Even if we can't pull out the Sword of Light, as long as we are also judged as righteous people, the greatest reliance of the Chosen One of Light will be useless to us. This is quite interesting, but I am worried that the judgment of the 'Sword of Light' on whether it is righteous is the same as the judgment of the 'Chain of Sin' on whether it is sinful."

He explained carefully:

"The Chain of Sin theoretically only takes effect on objects with sin. But in my actual use, except for some very special cases, basically all intelligent life has sin, yes, all. So is the Sword of Light also a similar effect? Except for very special cases, in fact, all intelligent life in this world has a 'non-righteous' side."

"This is not something we need to consider now, let's do the things in front of us first."

Luvia said, and then reminded Iluna again:

"In addition to the 【Dragon Feast Sect】, there is also the 【Light-Worshipper Training Society】 as an opponent this time. Perhaps your power can fight against giant dragons, but what will you do if you encounter that kind of light that melts everything that Xia De mentioned? Even Xia De said that he needs reaction time to resist that kind of strange light, so what about you, Iluna? Be careful after arriving in Moon Bay this time, don't be too impulsive."

The eighteen-year-old girl nodded heavily, and then asked:

"Luvia, are you going to Moon Bay?"

"If the church asks the association for help this time like in Green Lake, and the association draws diviners from the Old Continent to support Moon Bay, I will sign up. My performance last time was not bad, and as long as I sign up this time, I will definitely be selected. If the association does not organize similar activities, I haven't taken my annual leave this year, so I can ask for leave to leave the local area for a period of time."

This time Xia De didn't say not to let Luvia go to Moon Bay for safety. Now Luvia is already 7-ring, so he doesn't have to worry about her safety as much as before. The Chosen One stories are becoming more and more dangerous one after another, so before the danger actively affects them, it is indeed necessary for everyone around him to adapt to danger.

This is also the reason why Xia De didn't strongly oppose Galina and Princess Lei Qianya's request for Ajelina to accompany Difa to the Southern Kingdom.

In addition to discussing the Sword of Light with Iluna and Xia De, Luvia came here this morning to send Xia De a divination prop:

"Aren't you trying to find the seven dragon scales corresponding to the seven major families? Since the dragon scale you already found has the power of the ancient god, I tried to make this. I haven't spent a short time studying the power of ancient gods and the Chosen One, and I also gained something from reading Laplace Howard's data a while ago... He is indeed a genius. This can help you."

What Luvia handed to Xia De was a brass-colored pocket watch, but after opening it, he found that it was actually a compass. The compass is very simple to use, and the direction the pointer points to is the direction where the power of the "Ancient God - Shining Dragon" is suspected to exist.

Although Luvia is not sure how high the accuracy of this prop is, at least it can still provide some help.

Thus, an hour later, when Xia De met the witch at the Belinder Manor in Moon Bay, he mentioned that in addition to the metal divination card fused with gold dragon scales that she gave him, he had a new "dragon scale detector".

At first, the proud great witch of "Fate" was of course indifferent:

"The divination card I gave you is enough. Others don't understand Moon Bay, let alone the power of the ancient god."

"That was made for me by a diviner friend of mine from out of town, yes, it is the female warlock I mentioned."

Thus, the great witch of fate was aroused with a competitive spirit. While Miss Matilda, the maid, looked at Xia De with a strange expression, the Countess raised her slender neck:

"That's really interesting. Can you let me take a look at what that diviner made? I'm very curious about this."

Xia De then handed over the compass in the style of a pocket watch made by Luvia. The Countess threw open the watch cover with a click, put the compass in her palm, turned around twice, and then released two simple spells to test the alchemy item.

She frowned deeply, feeling that the situation was a bit different from what she thought. So she let Xia De take out the "Empress" divination card, and she compared the two "dragon scale detectors" with each other. Her lips pursed, and her brows seemed to wrinkle even deeper:

"You go visit your elf friend first, this compass is very interesting, I want to check it carefully, and I will return it to you in a while."

"Of course no problem, where is Emilia now? Bedroom?"

"She and that little unicorn are in the basement, she borrowed my alchemy laboratory... Speaking of which, will the female diviner who helped you make the compass come to Moon Bay to help you?"

She asked again suddenly, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes, but I'm not sure when she will come. When the time comes, we will introduce you to each other."

Thus, Xia De went to visit Emilia first. He was very happy that the elf girl didn't really just plan to use reading novels to kill time for a week.

And after Xia De's footsteps went away, Miss Matilda, who knew the Countess's character very well, asked softly:

"Miss, this compass..."

"Very powerful."

She was not stingy with her praise:

"The person who made the compass understands the power of the ancient god very well, even better than I do. I can't take this compass apart, but just by observing, I know that perhaps the effect of this compass is not worse than my divination card, but the divination card is fused with a dragon scale, and it is the detection effect exerted by using the resonance ability of the seven dragon scales..."

The witch took a deep breath, and the apprentice asked her teacher again:

"Miss, can you guess who made it? In the field of divination in the material world, compared to you... I mean, there shouldn't be many people who are about the same as you."

"Can't tell who it is, but this craftsmanship clearly has traces of the Diviner Association."

She was still looking at the compass:

"However, the diviners in the material world of this era, except for special existences like me, most of them have more or less connection with the Diviner Association. After all, the questions for the 'Registered Diviner' professional exam are set by them."

She thought carefully:

"It seems that I really underestimated others before. Also, the helpers around the man I fancy, how could they be ordinary."

The blond maid chief didn't point out that this sentence was actually her boasting.

"It seems I need to prepare well. When that female diviner arrives in Moon Bay, I must suppress her at the first time. The possibility of her level being higher than mine basically doesn't exist, and naturally, her appearance won't be as beautiful as mine."

This is not narcissism, witches indeed have the capital to boast about their appearance.

"Miss, do you want to try divining?"

Miss Matilda asked again, but the witch hesitated. Since Xia De came to Moon Bay, she had slightly changed the habit of divining everything, after all, most of the time the results of divination were no longer reliable:

"The diviner herself has powerful anti-divination characteristics... but it's good to try, I want to see the other party's methods in advance."

Thus, the maid took the divination cards, and just at the moment the witch drew a card, far away in the Diviner Association on Silver Cross Avenue in Tobesk, Luvia, who was helping a lady who came to visit divine her love fortune, suddenly froze.
