Chapter 2179

Xia De had already agreed on a meeting time with the three from the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】 last night. As for the location, he and Mr. Bernhardt chose the Spider Inn. Although it was very close to the workplace of the coroner, Mr. Albert, Mr. Bernhardt believed that this would not cause trouble, and the most dangerous place is often the safest place.

The agreed meeting time was 10:30 in the morning. Xia De said goodbye to Emilia and arrived at Spider Alley just in time. Mr. Bernhardt was already waiting for Xia De by the wooden fence outside the inn, watching the chickens in the yard.

The two of them entered and sat down first. Less than two minutes later, the group from the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】 also arrived.

However, what appeared this Tuesday morning was the young man John Flynn who possessed the 【Sword of the Wind King】 and a middle-aged man who did not appear last night. The young woman who appeared last night and the other man who used a nail hammer did not show up. The middle-aged man who came with John Flynn looked to be around forty years old, wearing glasses elegantly, and wearing a brown robe. For some reason, Xia De actually felt the temperament of a clergyman similar to Priest Augustus on the other party.

After both sides sat down, they exchanged pleasantries like ordinary people meeting, and then each ordered drinks. There were not many people in this remote and simple Lower City hotel on Monday morning, and even the two guards in the morgue were working seriously instead of coming here to play cards to kill time.

"Hello, my name is John Flynn."

The young man from the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】 spoke first. Although his age was far younger than his companions, it was obvious that he was the leader. He sized up Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt, and soon recognized Xia De's attire at this time, which was the powerful vampire species from last night:

"Thank you very much for being willing to meet us here today. To be honest, we have seen too many ring warlocks in this kind of city, but the people here are mostly wary of each other, and not many people are willing to talk openly and honestly."

"Because most people think they can't beat you, who holds a Sage-level relic long sword."

Xia De said, but the meaning was actually that he was confident he could beat the other party:

"We shouldn't waste time either. Coming here today is just to exchange intelligence, right?"

He took out a notebook, tore off two pages, and placed one page in front of himself and the other party respectively:

"Did you bring a pen with you? Oh, it's good that you brought it. We write down what we want to know, and after exchanging, if we agree, we can speak."

John Flynn, who had blond hair, discussed with his companion and picked up a pen to start writing. Xia De looked at Mr. Bernhardt, who nodded gently, and Xia De also picked up a pen to write. Of course, he used his left hand.

After writing, he tore off that strip of paper and exchanged it. The content Xia De wrote was "What is your purpose for coming to Moon Bay". Meeting the other party on the ship transporting dragon egg fossils in Hawthorne some time ago, the other party's answer was "searching for dragon eggs smuggled from the New Continent". Now it seems this was only part of the truth, otherwise they shouldn't have stayed here.

As for the note handed over by the other party, it wrote "What is the purpose of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 cultivating creatures containing dragon veins locally".

Mr. Bernhardt raised his eyebrows. This question he really didn't know, but Xia De had some guesses about this.

He looked at the two people across the table:

"I can answer this question, but the problem is, you might not be able to afford the price."

The blond man across the table also shook the note in Xia De's hand:

"I can also answer this question, but you might not be able to afford the price either."

The two looked at each other for a while, and the former said softly:

"It's related to the Chosen One."

Xia De also said:

"It's related to the Chosen One."

Both sides were silent for a while again. Ultimately, John Flynn, who took the initiative to initiate this meeting invitation, said:

"This intelligence is currently top secret, but according to the patterns of the previous few times, people should know it before long. The Mutual Aid Society sent us to Moon Bay for this reason, and they didn't ask us to keep it secret for this. If your intelligence is worth exchanging, I think it's not bad to reveal it to you now."

"This paragraph of yours is basically equal to saying nothing."

Xia De pointed out:

"My intelligence is related to a fragment of a poem."

The blond young man took a sharp breath:

"The value of the reason why we stayed in Moon Bay is not worse than yours. That's good, I need to discuss it with my companion."

"Please."

Thus, the two sitting opposite Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt temporarily got up and left the hotel. After about two minutes, Mr. Bernhardt said:

"They are in Mouse Alley to the east, meeting with two other companions. Yes, it's the two people from last night. That John Flynn's perception is very strong, my bats couldn't get too close, so I couldn't hear what was said... Their discussion is over."

Half a minute later, the two who left the hotel returned. After the two sat down, the blond man shook hands with Xia De:

"Wish us a successful cooperation. Our purpose for coming here is just to wait for things to ferment further. The Mutual Aid Society has discovered quite a few poem fragments in the New Continent over the years. They seem to think that I am... the seventh Chosen One, or at least a candidate."

Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt were both expressionless, because saying anything at this time was inappropriate. Xia De couldn't verify whether this was the truth or a lie, but the existence of the 【Sword of the Wind King】 made him have such thoughts from the beginning:

"That's good, my answer is: The 【Dragon Feast Sect】 cultivating dragon-blood monsters is also for the Chosen One qualification. We found a fragment of a poem, which has a description of a 'hatching dragon'. This refers to a newborn dragon race, or a non-long-lived species possessing giant dragon power."

After saying this, Xia De paused for a moment:

"Just like you, I don't know what dragon the giant dragon power on you comes from, but it must be related to wind."

The drop of divinity swallowed just now gave Xia De the ability to perceive giant dragon power. Sitting so close and talking, it was impossible for him to feel nothing. It's just a pity that Xia De didn't have Luvia's peculiar ability and couldn't tell whether the other party was a Chosen One just by "looking".

But both sides were satisfied with this first round of trading. If John Flynn's description of himself was correct, Xia De even thought he had taken advantage. Thus, they each picked up paper and pen and started writing the second question. This time the question was discussed by Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt when they were "taking a walk" on the beach after things ended last night:

【Who is the local vampire species cooperating with the Dragon Feast Sect?】

He didn't think the other party could know the answer to this question, this was just a further test.

And this time the question given by the other party was:

【Which island near the coast are the giant dragons of the Dragon Feast Sect hiding on?】

This was also a question Xia De couldn't answer, so both sides shook their heads, and then came to the third question.

The third question was still discussed by Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt—

【Why did you want to find that vampire monster last night?】

And the question Xia De saw was:

【Do you know that the God-Awakener has appeared locally.】

Involving his own question, Xia De naturally knew it.

This time he answered the question first:

"Some time ago, the God-Awakener appeared and contacted a relic related to fate with the local church. The location was the Belinder Big Ben. Eight days ago on Sunday, the God-Awakener who appeared in the Battle of the Wharf naturally doesn't need me to say more. We don't have much intersection with this elusive 13-ring warlock, but at least we are sure that he is definitely still here."

John Flynn and his companion exchanged glances:

"Even the church is not sure that the one who appeared in the great battle eight days ago was..."

"Come on, Mr. Flynn, everyone knows the anti-divination resistance of the God-Awakener now, which is higher than the church's statues and holy emblems. He is a living saint's shell, of course the church can't be sure it's him. But according to past experience, and seeing that kind of brilliant silver moonlight, besides that one, who else could it be?"

Xia De said, and Mr. Bernhardt also added, enduring the laughter in his heart:

"The church wants to find him, everyone wants to know what he really wants to do. We can only be sure that the gentleman or lady is indeed still here. Any intelligence about that one is almost as important as the Chosen One."

Xia De continued to add:

"After all, anything he or she does could potentially point directly to the Chosen One."

It has to be said that the outsider's actions over the past year have been quite effective. Even if the intelligence he provided was basically useless, the two people sitting across the table drinking cheap, watered-down bulk beer still thought this news was very important.

Thus, they also took out their own answers:

"We wanted that vampire monster, at first we didn't expect it to be related to the 【Dragon Feast Sect】... This was only known after going back yesterday."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man who looked like a clergyman also felt a bit embarrassed:

"We originally thought it was related to the local vampire species, that is, you guys. Your race is very unwelcoming to outsiders, and we wanted to find a relic through it."

He didn't sell out, but honestly admitted:

"What we are looking for is a Sage-level relic. You are vampire species, you must know it. 【Blood Sorrow】, this is..."

"A legendary treasure recognized by the vampire species as a 'Holy Sword'. Legend has it that a legendary-level vampire species demon hunter in the Third Era used that sword to..."

Mr. Bernhardt no longer hid his surprise:

"Used that holy sword to expel and almost kill an ancient evil spirit demon. The story of that vampire species demon hunter can even still be found in today's 'Dawn Church' and our scriptures, and that holy sword is also regarded as the most important treasure of our clan."
