Chapter 2253: The Fourth Holy Sword

Miss Ilayse said something extraordinary and pinched Xia De's hand lightly:

"I don't even know what I am. A dragon? Definitely not. A ship? Doesn't seem entirely right either. Perhaps, I am just a fairy born from the sea.

However, the ladies of the Fifth Era are no longer by your side now. It seems that the witches of the Sixth Era are not very good at taking care of you. I don't think I can leave your side anymore. In a while, introduce Bella Belindell to me. I can live in Belindell Manor recently."

Xia De nodded immediately:

"Can I tell them who you are?"

"Of course you can. The Witch Council should welcome an existence like me. Speaking of which, the audit qualification for the council that Miss Violet gave me back then should still be valid now."

She sighed lightly and then looked up at the moon. Xia De also looked up at the three moons:

"I am actually very curious now, and I really want to get the answer from you, how are Miss Violet and Miss Theresa doing now. But I know that if I ask you, you will only say that you don't know what happened after you fell into slumber, so I won't ask."

She said instead:

"If you ask, I will tell you the truth."

"No, I won't ask."

Xia De shook his head. After looking forward again, he saw that the end of the path was a grape trellis:

"Don't talk too much about the Fifth Era. I want to find the answer myself. However, you should know about the 'Whispering Poem'. After all, Miss Violet was also one of the witch emperors who left the poem."

"Yes."

The blue-eyed girl nodded:

"Do you know about the Sword of Light?"

"Of course, there are at least three holy swords appearing in the area now: Night Watcher, Sword of the Wind King, and Blood Sorrow."

Of course, only Xia De's 【Night Watcher】 is Angel-level, and the other two are a bit worse.

"According to my understanding, there is at least one more holy sword in the area that meets the conditions for drawing the sword."

She stroked Xia De's right arm lightly:

"Do you remember what the measure of Angel-level relics is in this era?"

Each level's measure represents the most dangerous relic of that level, just like the measure of Sage-level is the Sage's Stone.

"Heart of the Evil Angel. But I remember this is not a sword? It's a deformed black heart-shaped piece of meat that is squirming."

Xia De asked, and Miss Ilayse nodded, walking through the grape trellis with Xia De:

"The relic I want to talk about is related to this. 【Heart of the Evil Angel】 is said to be the heart of an angel, and the Angel-level relic 【Angel's Right Arm】 is said to be the right arm of an angel."

"【Angel's Right Arm】?"

Information about high-danger level relics is a source of pollution itself, so it will not be opened to the outside world at will. Xia De had never heard of this relic:

"Judging from the name, it doesn't look like a sword."

"Angel-level relic 【Angel's Right Arm】, its most well-known characteristic is that this sword seems to be a living thing. Even if it is found and owned by someone, it will suddenly disappear one day. When it is discovered by people, it will always appear in the form of the right arm of an angel statue/plaster statue, etc. But before removing the right arm of the statue, this relic will not be detected by any means."

"Is this also a containment method?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Ilayse nodded:

"Once an attempt is made to remove the right arm, the entire statue will be activated because of the right arm. At that time, the petrified angel is equivalent to a complete Sage-level relic, or a remnant Angel-level relic, and its power will not be weaker than 【Crying Angel】, which is also related to angels."

She gestured in the air with her empty left hand:

"About this long, and the shape is very like a cross. I don't know the specific effect of this sword, but its power should not be as good as 【Night Watcher】, which is also Angel-level."

Xia De nodded:

"What angel does this sword come from?"

Miss Ilayse thought for a while:

"I don't know, there are too many related legends."

"Then where is this sword now?"

The girl then blinked at Xia De with a smile:

"Can I dance with you in a while? No, this is not an exchange. Whether you invite me or not, I will tell you."

"Whether you tell me about the sword or not, I will invite you."

The blue eyes stared at him, and then she took Xia De's hand and walked toward the entrance of the manor mansion with him.

Dancing is often the most important part of a banquet. As the protagonist of this banquet, Margaret naturally has to participate in the opening dance, at least she has to dance one dance.

According to the established rules, if she doesn't bring a dance partner, then the young people of the Seven Great Families in Moon Bay will try to invite her.

It's just that Xia De doesn't know what means Margaret used. When he and Miss Ilayse returned to the banquet hall where the dance was about to start, before Xia De introduced the identity of Miss Ilayse, whose clothes automatically turned into a blue dance dress while passing through the garden, Miss Belindell took the initiative to say to Xia De:

"Just now Princess Margaret asked me to dance with her, but I think it's better for Princess Margaret to dance the opening dance with young gentlemen."

Saying this, she pushed Xia De toward Margaret, and neither Earl Addington nor Earl Hawthorne opposed Miss Belindell's proposal.

So when the violin music sounded, Xia De, a stranger with a clearly Northern look, entered the dance floor first with Margaret. Others quickly followed. Only then did Xia De ask softly while holding Margaret's waist and swaying with the soothing dance music:

"I am very curious, how could Miss Belindell agree..."

"She is thanking me for sharing the business of Teacher Sylvia with her."

The blonde princess said with a smile, looking up slightly at the man dancing with her:

"Don't talk about this now. I can only dance one dance with you this time. Please focus, otherwise I will be angry."

"Yes, yes, my princess, as you wish."

The great witch of destiny was sitting on the sofa by the wall watching them at this time, then turned to look at Miss Ilayse sitting on the side. The black hair and blue eyes only made the countess with a beautiful lipid-red birthmark between her eyebrows pay a little attention. Her eyes only contracted in surprise when scanning her front, and then she asked as if she didn't care:

"Good evening, I heard him call you Miss Ilayse just now... What is your relationship with him?"

The black-haired girl answered with a smile:

"Friend relationship."

"Is that so."

She nodded slowly. The diviner's intuition told her that the girl in front of her was quite wrong. The countess decided to tactfully probe the other party's identity to show respect for Xia De's friend:

"Then when did you and him meet?"

Miss Ilayse recalled:

"About two thousand years ago... 5180 of the Fifth Era."

The witch blinked and sat up straight:

"I'm not joking."

"Yes, I'm not joking either."

The black-haired girl looked at her, feeling more and more that the witches of the Sixth Era were so interesting:

"I still retain the audit qualification for the council given to me by the witch emperor of my era. I remember this qualification is still there. Should we go to the council to verify it now?"

The smile on her face became more and more obvious, but she said again before Miss Belindell could speak:

"No, not now."

Turning her head, she looked far away at Xia De who was dancing with the blonde princess in the crowd:

"I will only show up when he masters half of the witches in the council. After all, I don't want to listen to others. But no matter what you want to do, Countess Belindell, please do it after this banquet ends. He promised to invite me to dance, please don't disturb this matter.

I have waited for five hundred years, you should have no problem waiting for one night, right?"

The witch was indeed surprised just now, but she had already calmed down at this time. She had seen old women before:

"I have a lot of patience... He is my dance partner, and he also promised to dance with me."

*Clap*—she closed the fan in her hand and handed it to Miss Matilda, who hadn't said much all night, behind her:

"Matilda, go call Vanessa and Emma. What are they doing? Must they wait until the second half of the dance to come out?"

While instructing her maid, she glanced at the girl with a graceful figure:

"Tell them to come down now, yes, now. Tell them, if they don't come down now, and the person is snatched away in a while, I won't help them chase him back."

Thus, when Xia De and the very happy Margaret came to the sofa surrounded by royal maids, Miss Sylvia, Miss Bernice, and Siris also appeared.

They sat with the countess of Moon Bay and Miss Ilayse. Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, Xia De thought it was still within an acceptable range.

He still sat beside the countess, while Margaret sat beside Miss Bernice.

Miss Ilayse said to Xia De with a smile:

"I told them about my affairs. According to the witches' understanding, I seem to be regarded as a very old blue dragon now."

This kind of statement is not wrong, and compared to "ship girl," "dragon girl" or "dragon-born girl" is obviously easier to understand.

"Strange people always appear around Xia De, this is not worth being surprised."

Miss Sylvia accepted this very quickly. After all, compared to Grace and Helen, this pair of genuine "relics," at least Miss Ilayse was still a normal dragon or dragon-born.

"Relics" cannot be regarded as intelligent life, but Xia De can still take action against them, so Miss Ilayse looks really too normal.

Miss Bernice and Siris had similar views, so only the countess was still unable to accept it:

"I always feel that compared to me, you have very unique ways of looking at this world." ===== CHAPTER 2254 =====

"I always feel that compared to me, you have a very strange way of looking at this world."
