Chapter 2181

"What? Blood Sorrow?"

When Xia De returned to the Belinder Manor this evening, he happened to meet the witch returning from the City Hall. Because he wasn't sure, Xia De didn't mention John Flynn claiming to be the Chosen One, but mentioned the holy sword of the vampire species, but this still shocked the Countess:

"First you want to find the 【Hope Diamond】, then there is the 【Unique Existence】 that I have already obtained, and the 【Dice Story Collection】 when we met, and now there is another Sage-level long sword. How many high-level relics have appeared in Moon Bay?"

"I can't answer this question, but since it has been determined that this Chosen One might pull out the weapon left by the ancient god through these holy swords, we can't not investigate. I will still do this, but I hope you can help divine."

"Of course I can, but please don't hold too much hope. Even for me, don't think about easily divining a Sage-level relic, this is basically impossible."

Thus, before dinner, Miss Belinder conducted a divination with a formal divination ritual in the basement, and then, as she expected, it had no effect. This was already considered very powerful for her, after all, she didn't suffer backlash because of divining the relic.

Of course, although divining the relic had no harvest, at least she had determined the location where the vampire monster had been hiding recently based on the remains of the vampire monster provided by Xia De.

Because the divination was very accurate, Xia De, thinking that long nights bring many dreams, returned to Moon Bay after going home to feed the cat and inviting Luvia to meet at his home at night, and conducted an adventure in the sewers that was not very interesting with the witch and the maids.

In short, they went deep into the underground of Moon Bay from the city sewage pipes of the seaside city, and followed the ancient sewers that had been abandoned for a long time to find the nest where the vampire monster had once been.

There was nothing of much value in that nest, only three female corpses that had died after their blood was sucked. In this way, the number of victims counted by the church was actually a bit less.

Afterwards, Xia De discovered the secret room buried deeper under the vampire monster's nest very smoothly through that metal divination card and Luvia's compass.

Similar to the secret room in the hollow tree of the ancient tree in the Low-Whispering Hills, this secret room was also protected by some kind of peculiar power. When the maid ladies used spells to dig open the secret room passage, the cockroaches, maggots, ants, mosquitoes, and unknown insects that surged out from the underground made Xia De retreat two steps quickly. This scene made him recall his experience when he was in the 【Worm Cave】 for the time key adventure.

The shells of those insects were quite hard, and the hardness of most of them exceeded steel. And after surging out from the ground, they did not scatter and flee. Those with flight and jumping abilities immediately pounced on people's faces, while those without flight and jumping abilities quickly climbed up people's shoes and tried to climb up.

"Really disgusting!"

The witch complained while holding Xia De's arm, first stepped on the ground to bounce away the small insects with repulsive force, and then greeted everyone to work together to call for flames, burning for a full 20 minutes in the sewer pipe with poor ventilation before burning all these insects clean. And after confirming that the secret room no longer sprayed insects outward, the smell of the air at the scene... Xia De didn't really want to recall this.

He only remembered that it wasn't just himself, Miss Belinder and those maid ladies also had black faces. Even if everyone could hold their breath, just skin contact with the air at that time would make people feel uncomfortable all over.

Of course, paying such a big "price" naturally had a harvest. After Miss Belinder summoned a bubble to cover everyone's heads with the basic spell "Bubble Head Spell", everyone started the secret room exploration work.

The area of the secret room located deeper than the nest was not large. After cleaning up the insect nest and the mother insect that hadn't climbed out of the cave just now, they found more than ten pieces of ancient literature related to the Black family with varying degrees of fragmentation. Judging from the content of the literature, ring warlocks also appeared in the Black family at the beginning of the Sixth Era. Of course, these were not the key, the key was that in the center of the secret room floor, a black dragon scale that seemed to be able to emit a deep glow in the dark was embedded.

The rotation of the compass pointer and the vibration of the divination cards all originated from this black dragon scale. Miss Matilda wanted to take it out, but was caught off guard and almost blown away by the power of the counter-shock. Even the great witch of fate reached out, but felt a strange repulsive force that made her unable to touch the scale.

Frowning, making the fat-red birthmark on her brow tremble slightly:

"The last gold dragon scale didn't have this situation... Could it be that only the descendants of the Black family can touch it?"

"Please let me."

Xia De said, wearing Fiona's gloves to grab the scale, and then very smoothly pinched it out from the depression in the ground. And after leaving the groove on the ground, the scale lost the strange repulsive force that repelled others.

The dragon scale trembled in Xia De's palm, and the strange and deep black light gradually converged. The thick miracle elements were almost exactly the same as that gold dragon scale, so Xia De and the witch knew what this was.

(Little Mia is running...)

"Luvia, you can't imagine how fast Miss Belinder and those maid ladies drove the carriage to return to the manor as soon as possible after coming out of the sewer."

At 8:30 in the evening, Xia De walked out of the washroom wiping his hair with a towel. Luvia's voice came from the kitchen:

"Actually, the fact that little Mia is unwilling to approach you after you come back is enough to show how terrible that smell is."

Saying this, she also came to the living room with a fruit bowl containing apples. She looked Xia De up and down after he had just taken a shower, and then nodded with satisfaction:

"Does the black dragon scale belong to the Black family?"

"Yes, from those stone slabs, the ring warlocks who once appeared in the Black family believed that placing this scale in the family would do no good to the descendants of ordinary people. He studied that scale, and the power radiated by the scale itself was enough to cause alienation in the flesh and soul of ordinary people, but it would also subtly strengthen those creatures that already possessed power. The ancient tree in the Low-Whispering Hills, the soul in the tree, the female werewolf, the black cat in the sewer, and that vampire monster were all radiated by the power of the scale.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Black family sealed the scale and left a message in the family that only ring warlocks could understand. But I don't know if the message was lost, or if the Black family had not had ring warlocks for more than a thousand years, in short, the scale had been in the sewer."

Xia De bent down and picked up little Mia. The cat, which liked the smell of Xia De after he took a shower, immediately rubbed its head towards Xia De's shoulder. And noticing that Xia De's body temperature became higher after taking a shower, the furry cat seemed even happier.

"Also, the reminder the black cat gave me when it left was correct. The location of that secret room is exactly 200 meters diagonally below the location of the black cat's remains."

"That cat..."

Luvia recalled the little story Xia De told again, sighed gently. She originally wanted to say that she seemed to have been divined by someone today, but thought about it and felt that this was just a trivial matter:

"It's still unclear what the use of the dragon scales of the seven major families is. If we can collect them, we will try our best to collect them. 【Blood Sorrow】 is relatively important. I suspect that the current holder of that sword is one of the candidates for the Chosen One of Light."

"Then what about John Flynn?"

Xia De bent down and took an apple:

"I can't be sure whether what he said is the truth, but at least the 【Sword of the Wind King】 is real."

"It is highly likely that he is indeed one of the candidates, but I still need to see it for myself. However, according to your description now, this person's character and way of doing things are much more normal than the previous few Chosen Ones."

The purple-eyed girl said, and asked about another person:

"What is going on with that Miss Eliser, she hasn't appeared yet today, right?"

"I don't know why this is either. Just wait patiently, she will appear sooner or later."

He took another bite of the apple, tilted his head to look at the gas lamp on his own wall, and then asked suddenly:

"Tomorrow is the King's birthday, the whole country of Delarion is on holiday, is the Diviner Association on holiday?"

"Of course on holiday, the association is opposite the Yodel Palace. Even if we want to work, out of respect for the King's face, the president cannot let the association open."

Luvia asked with a smile:

"Why, do you want to ask me out on a date tomorrow? This won't work, you have to concentrate on preparing for the banquet at night. After all, that is another 'big day' for Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya."

"Oh, Luvia~"

Xia De held her hand and looked at those smiling purple eyes:

"I mean, I'll let Princess Lei Qianya prepare an invitation for you, how about you also go to the banquet at Yodel Palace tomorrow night? Princess Lei Qianya, Galina, and Dorothy are all there. If only you are not there, I will feel this is very strange. And we can find time to talk to everyone about the Moon Bay matter. It is necessary to let them know the news of the appearance of 【Sword of the Wind King】 and 【Blood Sorrow】."

"Do Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya know that you plan to talk about these tomorrow night?"

She asked with a smile, and then nodded gently:

"Then I will prepare a dress during the day tomorrow, and then go to take care of my hair. But tomorrow night is your time with Dorothy, so I won't accompany you as your female companion. Just let Princess Ajelina give me the invitation. She used to go to the Diviner Association to play divination games often, so she is considered familiar with me."

The beautiful purple eyes looked at Xia De, she knew what Xia De meant:

"Don't invite me just because they are all there and I am not. I won't care about such trivial matters. Xia De, you can always feel my feelings for you, so you don't have to do this kind of balancing."

Xia De originally wanted to explain, but thought about it and kissed her directly. Luvia closed her eyes with a smile and welcomed this kiss from him, and then... at least Xia De remembered to turn off the lights in the living room and draw the curtains.
