Chapter 2265

Xia De asked curiously, and Miss Ilithyia shook her head slightly:

"It has a very dangerous smell; I'd better not know. Don't discuss this problem; I originally thought we would experience a dangerous battle this time, but I didn't expect you to really have a way."

She didn't mean to check the cross sword, just as Emilia didn't dare to touch the sword. Every Angel-level relic needs to be treated with caution; since Xia De held it and nothing happened, then it should be held by Xia De.

However, although this was a powerful weapon, even if it really reached his own hands now, Xia De never thought about using it himself.

He already had enough relics around him; the 【Night Watcher】 was more suitable for him. Excessive greed will attract disaster; Xia De understood this truth very well.

In order to prevent the "Light Chaser" from returning again, the three did not linger here. After Xia De touched the "Ring of Longevity" to reverse time and restore the angel statue, Miss Ilithyia "locked" this ruin again, letting the three statues and the stone platform hide again.

The little unicorn even used its own horn to touch the rune chains at the end, which seemed to make this seal more solid.

And on the way back to the city, the three also discussed the reason for the "Light Chaser's" abrupt appearance.

He was definitely here for the thing in the metal box, and what was in the box was not clear for the time being, because the box itself was also a mechanism lock.

The "Light Chaser" probably sensed the location of this box in some way, but couldn't break through the rune lock set by the Elves of the Fifth Era, so he had been waiting for a chance to crack it, which reminded Xia De of the clue provided by John Flynn when he met the captain at the tavern a few days ago.

And the "Light Chaser," who investigated Elf legends, although he didn't break the seal himself in the end, the arrival of Xia De's group today unlocked the Mystery Lock, which made him sense the situation here.

"That Light Chaser can actually move through space."

The Elf Miss riding the unicorn sighed, and the blue-eyed girl answered her with a smile:

"In the distant Fifth Era, witches above the high rank more or less mastered some space movement techniques. And in this era now, Emilia, although space movement is rare, it is definitely not extinct. For the 13th-ring, although they are only mortals, they are also the top mortals."

In order to prevent the tracking of the 13th-ring warlock, the three circled outside the city and didn't return to the farm but went directly to the seaside. Subsequently, under the surprised gaze of Emilia and the little unicorn, the "Radiant Messenger," which Xia De had seen in his last adventure in the "Sea of No Light," rose from the seabed.

It was just that compared to the ship that flew away from the Sea of No Light with him, this cruise ship was obviously larger, and the dragon scale patterns on the surface of the ship were also denser.

"Such a big ship."

The three and the unicorn boarded the deck together. Of course, the two horses were also led up. Thus, the cruise ship sailed slowly toward the deep sea, and the pure white little beast also ran around on the deck happily, and Emilia also looked at the surroundings in surprise:

"The biggest ship I've taken before was the double-decker icebreaker I took when participating in the academy's Jibei expedition... Can we go inside the cabin to take a look?"

She looked at the blue-eyed girl expectantly, and the latter nodded with a smile, so the Elf and the little unicorn entered the cabin together.

After sighing slightly, Miss Ilithyia looked at Xia De who was standing on the deck looking at the scenery of the land that was gradually moving away:

"The last time you boarded my ship was in the previous era."

"Hmm... wasn't it half a month ago, when I first turned into a dragon and fell into a coma?"

Xia De corrected, and the blue-eyed girl said reproachfully:

"That doesn't count. In short, seeing this ship again after a thousand years, how do you feel?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"I still like the ship's wheel just as much; the turning is really fast."

Miss Ilithyia was stunned for a moment before reacting, her feet under her skirt shrank back a little, and then she patted Xia De lightly again:

"Really... so you really remember our meeting completely."

"Of course."

The "Radiant Messenger" didn't carry Xia De and Emilia away just like that, but transformed on the sea surface, turning into a small cargo ship named "Golden Storm," and then appeared in Moon Bay Port openly.

According to Miss Ilithyia, "Golden Storm" is a ship she registered officially, to facilitate her appearance at various ports around the world.

And besides the cargo ship "Golden Storm," she also had the identities of the small cruise ship "Phoenix Butterfly," the Carsonrick armored cruiser "July Flower," the pirate ship "Weeping Reaper," the large deep-sea fishing boat "Tuna," the Delarion Jibei exploration ship "Fire Wine," etc.

Looking at it this way, Miss Ilithyia had indeed done many things in the few hundred years since she woke up.

The three and the little unicorn soon led the horses back to Belindell Manor; it was already three-thirty in the afternoon. However, Xia De didn't stay long at Belindell Manor, but left immediately with the 【Angel's Right Arm】.

That silver cross sword was wrapped in a piece of linen stained with human blood; this was the containment method for this sword.

Carrying the cat who had slept enough in the afternoon, he went home, greeted the Cavendish ladies at home, and then quickly went downstairs, heading to Huntington City from the basement.

Racia and Miss Galina in the study upstairs looked at each other:

"He is always so busy."

After coming out of the wine cellar of the White River Valley Vineyard, Xia De didn't stop and rode his horse toward the eastern part of Huntington City. Under the "guidance" of Little Mia, he finally arrived at the Lake of Cherub before sunset that day, entering it again.

Sunset dusk also made the water surface of the Lake of Cherub turn dim yellow. Leading the horse onto the grass of the island in the center of the lake, Xia De let the horse eat grass at will, then patted the little head of the cat on his shoulder, and then holding the 【Angel's Right Arm】 wrapped in linen, stepped lightly onto the lake in the center of the island.

The lady holding the staff was still waiting for him under the giant rock in the center of the lake. Xia De nodded slightly to show respect, and then held the linen forward:

"Lady, I have come to seek guidance again."

The angel holding the staff nodded with a smile:

"I know why you came, and I also know what kind of doubts you have in your heart."

The hand not holding the staff was placed on the linen, so the cross sword wrapped inside radiated light again until it floated, suspended between Xia De and this Wisdom Angel.

The cat looked at this scene curiously, and Xia De asked:

"So, is this sword really the right arm of an angel?"

"Yes."

She gave an affirmative answer:

"But not the one you are thinking of."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief; he was thinking of the "Death Angel," which was the source of Priest Augustus's power. Sure enough, it wasn't such a coincidence; he had just obtained a relic related to angels, and it immediately had something to do with the Death Angel.

And when he was in Mibourg, the arm implanted into Joey Barton by the 【Truth Society】 was an angel's arm bone, so even if angels and humans have different structures, finding a new arm bone wouldn't be so easy.

Thinking again, although the number of angels of the Ancient Gods is not large, it is not only three or four, so it is normal that this thing has nothing to do with the "Death Angel":

"Then if I send this sword to Priest Lat Augustus, will it aggravate his current psychological problems? Do you know Lat Augustus?"

The lady holding the staff nodded again:

"It will aggravate his problems."

"Then I'd better not give it to him for the time being. Then if I want to help..."

"This is a test I give you."

The angel smiled and interrupted Xia De's words:

"As a wise man, guiding Lat Augustus to see his own heart clearly is the test I give you this time."

"Guidance?"

This is also the power Xia De lacks; he nodded:

"I understand; actually, this is also what I want to do. If Priest Augustus loses control, even I will find it difficult to stop him. Thank you for your help again."

He lowered his head slightly, thanking the angel for her help. Although she only answered two questions, besides here, Xia De couldn't think of where else to find the answer.

"No need to thank me; I am also happy that you can seek guidance from me."

The lady holding the staff used the top of the long staff in her hand to touch the cross sword floating between the two. In an instant, the Miracle elements overwhelmed the Whisper elements, and Xia De also clearly saw dense golden runes appearing around the relic, but it only flashed by:

"That severed arm comes from the angel of the Ancient God - Inverted Judge who manages 【Balance】; we also call Them 'Judges'."

"That was in the middle of the Second Era. Although the Ancient Gods left, some angels still stayed in the mortal world. The owner of that severed arm fought against a powerful existence in the mortal world; although he defeated the enemy, the aftermath of the battle also destroyed a kingdom with a population of millions."

Xia De nodded:

"Can't angels save this disaster?"

"Even angels cannot reverse time on a large scale in the material world after the World Tree withers. And resurrecting the dead from death is also a strictly prohibited thing after the end of the First Era. So the Judge cut off his own right arm to punish himself, turning it into this cross sword to protect civilization."

The lady holding the staff said, and the sword was entangled with light and shadow under her long staff, but in the end, it returned to Xia De's front without changing anything:

"Your justice is recognized by it, and this relic is also willing to accept you as its master. It's just that although you can use it, you also have the risk of being influenced by the extreme ideas within it, gradually losing yourself in order to pursue justice and kill evil. Please use it with caution; it is not more suitable for you than the 【Night Watcher】."

"I understand."
