Chapter 2274: Night of Chaos

~10 min read 1,965 words

It was just that this transformation was definitely not without gains. By continuously casting spells and fighting in the "Moonlight Dragon" form, Xia De's understanding of this transformation art was greatly accelerated. He felt that it would not be long before he could fully master this powerful secret art and be able to transform back from a giant dragon to a human form on his own.

Therefore, although there was only one bottle of potion left, it should be enough.

The four Great Witches and Miss Yi Laisa were discussing the situation tonight around the city sand table under the crystal chandelier. After the girls coming and going in the study delivered the latest news, Miss Bernice would manipulate the sand table city to deform.

The north of the lifelike city model was even burning with flames, just like the real city. This was not an ordinary sand table, but a real scene of the city copied after the witch secret art resonated with the earth.

"Phew~ Alright."

Emilia took her hands away and wiped the cold sweat on her head. Angelina, who was holding a tray aside, immediately handed the small bottle of holy water to Xia De, letting Xia De drink the No. 2 holy water in one gulp. As for the tray in the little princess's hand, it was the various materials used for treatment just now.

The witches had already treated this wound, and the elf amulet inherited from ancient times in Emilia's hand lifted the final curse.

Xia De let out a long breath. After taking off the bandage, only a shallow pink scar remained on his arm. Thus, the small unicorn poked Xia De's arm with its horn one last time, and the scar recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, in just a few seconds, it disappeared under the gaze of the elf girl and the little princess.

"Neigh~"

It neighed happily. Xia De thanked Emilia, Angelina, and little Liana softly. After getting dressed with the help of the blushing Angelina, he also walked to the sand table:

"Fire in the North City, main force tied up in the South City, and a large number of vampire bats and dragon-born vampire monsters. There are riots by gangsters and pirates in the city, and even churches are being besieged. I still don't understand, with such a big formation tonight, what is their purpose?"

The countess raised the note in her hand:

"Are you okay? If your arm still hurts, sit down quickly. We just received news, and it's top-secret news: the local Dawn Church has been robbed."

"I'm fine, but what did you say?"

Not only Xia De, but Emilia and Angelina were also full of astonishment. Whether it was the elf living in Saint Byron or the human princess living in the City of Steam, they all knew what a large diocese church meant.

"This isn't a joke, is it?"

Xia De looked at the other ladies. The Great Witch with big wavy brown hair shook her head. Although Miss Aurora and the others first fought a battle in the East City and then followed the two dragons to the pier, they only had some consumption. Although they were not completely uninjured, those minor injuries could be treated a little.

"I also thought it was a joke just now, but Bella said this news is absolutely true. The Belindel family has its own information channels even in the church. Judging from the current situation, everything tonight was probably really to divert the church's forces and then steal a relic from the Dawn Church."

She covered her forehead:

"I can't even remember when the last time such a large diocese church was robbed."

"Even in the Fifth Era, it is unimaginable for the church of a powerful god to be robbed."

Miss Yi Laisa also said.

Xia De glanced at the city still burning outside. In fact, at this time, the hazy drizzle had been summoned, but wanting to extinguish such a big fire was not a matter of one or two minutes. There were still many, many things in the city that needed to be dealt with, and Ringed Ringed Shushi could not rush to all the fire scenes immediately.

"May I ask specifically what was stolen?"

Emilia said in a low voice, but this question could not be answered for the time being. Miss Belindel being able to know that the Dawn Church was robbed for the first time was enough to be surprising. If even what was stolen was figured out, then the validity of the information would have to be re-judged.

"I still can't understand. Yi Yi Yi Lu Na told me how tight the defense of the True God Church is, not to mention that Moon Bay, such a large diocese, is almost on par with the Tobesk Diocese and the Willendale Diocese. Even if the main force is transferred away, it is impossible for the church to be broken through so easily, right?"

Xia De continued to ask. Several ladies exchanged glances, and finally Miss Yi Laisa said:

"If we exclude those impossible options, such as the cultists being too lucky, then the only possibility is that there is a mole inside the Dawn Church. Clearly, someone here is not as devout as they appear."

"Oh~"

Xia De sighed softly:

"So, after tonight, the Moon Bay Diocese is really going to have big moves. Wait, it will be Monday in a few hours, which is the 'Saint Prayer Day' of the Dawn Church this year... So that's it. After the Saint Prayer Day, the power of the church and divine arts will be greatly enhanced, so they chose to act today. This is not a coincidence."

"I don't quite understand."

The elf girl continued to ask:

"After such a thing happened tonight, how will the City Hall explain it to the citizens tomorrow? The fire can be explained as a fire in the North City, and the gangsters and pirates can also be explained in the way of ordinary people. But no matter how dark it is tonight, there must be quite a few people who saw those bats and monsters, right?"

Emilia had lived in Saint Byron since she was a child, so she really didn't know these things.

Miss Sylvia then explained to her:

"Since the Sixth Era, large-scale riots involving supernatural powers have occurred in the city, and there have been absolutely more than this one, and this one is not the most serious one, but ordinary people still don't know the existence of Ringed Ringed Shushi. The church naturally has its own means."

"I know that if it's a small-scale incident, it can be explained as a gas pipeline explosion~"

The pointed-eared girl gave an example, so Miss Bernice continued to explain:

"That's a small-scale incident. Such a large-scale incident requires other means.

The incident tonight is actually not serious. At least, only two blocks of citizens saw the light giant transformed by the 'Light-Chaser.' And the dragon roar on the pier side is not worth mentioning. This is already the fourth consecutive Sunday that a dragon roar has appeared in the city, right?"

Xia De nodded:

"Yes, I heard from Yi Yi Yi Lu Na and Luweiya that although the church will cautiously use relics of the cognitive rewriting type, in such a situation, combined with the ritual composed of five churches, the power of the relic can be used."

"Cognitive rewriting?"

The elf girl was frightened, and then for some reason glanced at the little princess, the latter blinked at her desperately, telling her not to look at herself.

The countess didn't notice their little movements, or rather, didn't care:

"It's not the kind of rewriting you think, it's just letting the citizens who saw those monsters tonight feel like they had a dream after dawn tomorrow. Most of the houses burned in the North City cannot be restored, but those monsters in their memories will become hallucinations generated by themselves in sleepiness and fright."

Emilia then nodded slightly to show understanding. Xia De continued to look down at the burning city on the sand table:

"According to the clues I have, that Dragon Feast sacrificial ground is related to the Ancient God 'Dragon of Radiance,' and the Evil God - Dragon-Eater Demon can use its power... Has the Council never recorded anything about that sacrificial ground?"

"Megan and Audrey are checking. They will come to Moon Bay next week, and there should be results by then."

When the group returned from the pier just now, Xia De was carried in by Miss Yi Laisa in the form of a cat. Because he was a bit exhausted and inconvenient to move, and his claws were injured, even drinking the elf's potion was fed to the cat by Miss Belindel.

Xia De also didn't know how she convinced the other ladies that this matter should be done by her.

The battle tonight, although the church repelled the main force exposed by the 【Dragon Feast Sect】, the cultists also got a relic that was temporarily unknown, so it was impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat. But Xia De's pink perfume small bottle was now completely empty. That bottle was placed on the coffee table, and looking closely, one could only see a shallow layer of liquid just generated at the bottom of the bottle.

"Moonlight Wheel" being able to develop the third form of power accumulation was indeed worth being happy about. Because the "Shadow of the Moon" secret art ensured that the moon was shining on Xia De at all times, expanding the light screen to absorb moonlight for power accumulation could also be done during the day.

And "Dragon Language Spell - Sword of Light" revealed greater value in this battle. As for the identity of the giant egg holding the 【Bone-Sacrifice Sword】, it also aroused the speculation of the witches and Xia De.

The dragon egg was undoubtedly the thing that best matched the description of "Newborn Dragon" in the poem fragments, and the fossil dragon eggs that Xia De and John Flynn, the holder of the "Sword of the Wind King," discovered on the smuggling ship might also be related to it.

Looking at it this way, it could not be ruled out that the thing gestating in that giant egg was a Chosen One.

"There are currently six known Holy Swords, and there are really too many candidates this time."

Miss Aurora frowned and said, probably thinking of the Cold Water Port incident she and Xia De experienced at that time, where the dark Chosen One was only "Ivan Darkness."

After the wound slashed by the 【Bone-Sacrifice Sword】 on his arm recovered, Xia De did not stay in Belindel Manor for long:

"I'm going out, not leaving Moon Bay. I want to go see my vampire friend.

With so many dragon-born vampires appearing tonight, the local vampires really can't wash themselves clean for a short time. I probably guessed where he is now, and I really hope he doesn't have any trouble."

Compared to himself, Xia De sympathized more with Mr. Bernhardt. With such a large number of dragon-born vampires appearing tonight, as well as those vampire monsters and mutated big bats, it could only show that the cooperation between the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 and the vampires was far earlier than before the Moon Bay incident.

And since Mr. Bernhardt, who only came to the local area to talk about business, had already been involved in it, he probably really couldn't get out.

"Does anyone need to go with you?"

The ladies didn't oppose Xia De going out; they didn't need to worry about his safety. ===== CHAPTER 2275 =====
