Chapter 2194: The Doctor's Weapon
Luwia counted four requirements, and neither Xia De nor Iluna felt this was very easy. Xia De even said:
"History has recorded multiple events caused by dragons, just like the incident where Iluna encountered a dragon while riding a steam airship last year counts, but there has never been a very clear record of the Sword of Light.
This shows that the calamity caused by dragons is definitely not as simple as eating a few sheep, burning a forest, or destroying a few buildings. According to this inference, if the disaster is unrelated to dragons, I think the strictness of the conditions must rise to the level of seriously affecting the progress of civilization."
Luwia raised her eyebrows:
"A disaster on the level of the destruction of Moon Bay should be enough, right?"
Xia De felt as if his head had been knocked by someone:
"You mean to say, that prophecy was prepared specifically for the Chosen One ritual?"
Luwia nodded, and explained to Iluna, who didn't know what they were thinking:
"Xia De is talking about the prophecy that Moon Bay is bound to be destroyed.
The appearance of the prophecy is related to the local Seven Great Families, and the time when the Seven Great Families appeared was the mid-to-late Fifth Era. Although it is still uncertain what kind of dragon the Seven Great Families encountered, and it is uncertain whether that dragon knew about the 'Whispering Poem Chapter,' but currently it seems that even if nothing is done and one just waits for the destined destruction to arrive, there will likely be someone in the Moon Bay area who will draw the sword to meet the enemy."
"So, because of that prophecy, the Chosen One of Light is destined to appear in Moon Bay?"
Iluna realized, but Luwia corrected again:
"It is also possible that because the Chosen One of Light was chosen by the Poem Chapter to appear in Moon Bay, that prophecy was passed down."
She had always been cautious about the Poem Chapter and would not make very certain conclusions:
"In short, if we choose this very easy road, we don't have to investigate so nervously next. Just wait for Moon Bay to be destroyed, and the Chosen One of Light will definitely appear."
"But Xia De won't do this, right?"
The eighteen-year-old girl asked Xia De with a smile, and Xia De naturally wouldn't choose this "easy" road:
"The resident population of the Moon Bay area is on the order of millions, just like Tobesk. Letting Moon Bay be destroyed, even if citizens are evacuated in advance, the number of casualties will still be very alarming, not to mention the subsequent bad effects caused by property damage. We have always been seeking a better ending, and this time is no exception."
"Same as what I thought~"
Iluna clapped her hands:
"Then by the time I arrive in Moon Bay, the focus will be on investigating the source of the destruction of Moon Bay City, as well as the ritual to permanently draw the Sword of Light. The first sword-drawing method is hard to come by, while the second sword-drawing method only requires a ritual, which is not about facing disaster."
"We are not without investigation directions."
Luwia reminded:
"The previous few events have all proven that the content of the Chosen One ritual, even if we don't look for it, the Chosen One will understand it through wonderful channels. You can start from this direction first, determining the number of holy swords and the identity of the holders. Of course, I don't advocate you going to get all those swords into your own hands; this is completely unnecessary."
Xia De and Iluna both nodded. The qualification of the Chosen One is not something that can be obtained by forcing it.
"Speaking of which, Luwia, when are you going to Moon Bay?"
Iluna asked again, and the purple-eyed girl was quite troubled by this:
"Originally my application had been approved, but the association said that I have to participate in the summer exams of St. Byron's at the end of this month, so it was rejected during the final review. Today is Wednesday the 16th, and the exam time is next Sunday the 27th. There are still 11 days in between."
"Then what do you plan to do? Go to Moon Bay after the exam?"
Xia De asked, and Luwia pursed her lips and nodded:
"It's not that I must be there in Moon Bay now, and asking for long leave in the association would be very abrupt. Let's wait until after the exam; there are still eleven days. During this time, you must be careful when acting in Moon Bay, and communicate at any time if there is anything."
Xia De and Iluna both nodded. The night was already deep, and they looked at the street scene outside the window involuntarily. Iluna arriving in Moon Bay also meant that Xia De's preliminary investigation was over, and the story of the seventh Chosen One was about to turn to a brand-new chapter.
Luwia and Iluna left Xia De's home together that night, but soon the purple-eyed girl returned, and Xia De had already found her pajamas from the closet.
Nothing happened all night. When Luwia was making breakfast for Xia De and Little Mia in the kitchen on Thursday morning, Xia De unexpectedly received a letter from St. Byron's. It was Miss Danister's handwriting on the envelope. After opening it, he learned that Miss Danister had left the academy and gone to meet the followers of the Old God 【Harmonious Weaver】.
She told Xia De not to worry about her in the letter, and told Xia De to pay attention to his own safety during his time in Moon Bay. If Xia De really needed help, he could take the ring she gave him during the Month-End Festival and seek help from the team sent by St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy to Moon Bay this time.
"Miss Danister said that our school's principal, Mr. Pigman, is even more powerful than her... I always thought that Miss Danister and the principal were about the same level, after all, they are both thirteen rings."
When Luwia brought the tray and came over wearing an apron from the kitchen, Xia De said this.
The purple-eyed girl thought for a while:
"I have heard others discuss this topic before. It seems that Principal Mr. Pigman's sublimation language is more powerful. The principal is known as the 'Guardian of Silver,' and he himself is proficient in the power of space and sealing. When he was still teaching before, he was a professor in your History Academy. It is said that his high-ring sublimation language cannot be blocked by anyone in the entire material world."
Saying this, she took off her apron and sat beside Xia De. Xia De kissed her side face with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, then let's start eating. Oh, since it can't be blocked, can it be dodged?"
"I don't know about this. The principal only participated in the battle of Midhillburg once. During the Green Lake incident, I heard from colleagues who came from the association headquarters that one of the plans to deal with the final riot in the Life and Death Gap was actually to let the principal use the sublimation language. But things didn't develop to that point, so I don't know what the principal's sublimation language is."
Because St. Deran Square was very close to the Divination Association on Silver Cross Avenue, Luwia didn't have to rush to work after breakfast. She washed the dishes with Xia De in the kitchen, and discussed the recent weather and the news in the newspaper with Xia De, only then being sent downstairs by Xia De.
But what was a bit embarrassing was that when Luwia opened the door downstairs and intended to turn around to say goodbye to Xia De, she happened to see Dr. Schneider carrying a black briefcase, preparing to walk up the steps at the entrance of No. 6.
The doctor and Luwia looked at each other for a few seconds inside and outside the door, and then the two greeted each other tacitly as if this scene was very normal:
"Good morning, Anatt."
"Good morning, Doctor."
Afterwards, Luwia smiled and said goodbye to Xia De, but her footsteps were clearly faster than usual when she left. Although the people in the group knew about the relationship between Luwia and Xia De, being "blocked" at Xia De's door by the doctor still made her feel embarrassed.
After all, she and Xia De were not married. Even if she didn't care about other people's eyes, this kind of thing couldn't be brought to the table.
Dr. Schneider, who followed Xia De into the house, naturally wouldn't discuss this issue again. After closing the door, he pointed to the briefcase he was carrying:
"Very smooth, that weapon has been made."
Xia De was startled:
"So fast? That's great, when are we setting off?"
The sooner Emilia's affairs were resolved, the better. Although since moving into the Beilindier Manor, perhaps because the witch's protection was not bad, or perhaps because of the power of the little unicorn, Emilia had only encountered one lowest-level relic in total, but Xia De couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen later.
"Don't be so anxious, there are still some problems, let's go upstairs and talk."
The two went upstairs together. Little Mia, who thought Xia De was going out, saw that there was a new guest at home, so it got up from the sofa and jumped onto the windowsill to make room for them.
The doctor didn't say any useless words either, put the briefcase on the coffee table and opened it, and then showed Xia De the deadly "weapon" he had made.
Xia De looked over inquisitively, and then asked in confusion:
"Doctor, you used so many metals, bone products, and liquids, how did you end up with the final product just being glass beads?"
Two glass beads were firmly fixed in the lining of the box. The size of the glass beads was almost the same as the kind children played with on the street. Only inside the transparent glass beads, there were dim silver-gray runes solidified, which were consistent with the pattern on the ring face of the 【Demon Hunting Seal】.
"This is mental alchemy, a relatively niche alchemy craft."
The doctor shook his head, and didn't explain the principles involved:
"I don't know if I've had good luck recently. I thought those materials were only enough to make one, but in the end, I was very lucky and didn't waste any materials at all. Two beads were made as finished products. We each take one, and this is the weapon."
"Um... if the materials are enough to make the size of glass beads, why not polish them into bullet heads?"
Xia De picked up one of them, letting the cold glass bead roll in his palm. This bead undoubtedly possessed the power of a demon, and it was the power of an extremely strong demon. The doctor's thinking was clearly still using demons to deal with demons.
"Because it must be a round, spherical shape."
The doctor also picked up the other bead, bent his right index finger, put the glass bead into the finger bend, and his thumb made a flicking gesture:
"Although this cannot be called a common weapon, I know that your strength is no less than mine. In our hands, even if it is just a glass bead, its power is stronger than the best high-pressure steam sniper rifle. Find that crow, and then flick it out. Although we have two chances, in reality, as long as the first person takes action, no matter whether it is successful or not, the other person doesn't need to fire again." ===== CHAPTER 2195 =====
