Chapter 2291: Iluna's Warning

"It doesn't matter, the nun will come sooner or later, it's more important to handle her own affairs first."

Xia De said, while Miss Aurora turned her head with her hands behind her back and continued to look at Xia De:

"Actually, I don't know much about the important significance of the 'Original Fire', but the Speaker is very serious about the nun. This time I accompanied Daelin the nun to the New Continent, which was also ordered by her. The Speaker said at the time, 'Put down everything in your hands, the matter of the Original Fire is more important than anything else'."

Xia De frowned slightly. Regarding the "Original Fire", the things he knew were only that this flame came from the beginning of creation or even before. And Miss Isabella's attitude seemed to indicate that this flame had an unclear connection with the Witch Council and him.

Miss Aurora suddenly stopped, blinked at Xia De and said:

"My shoes are wet, it's really uncomfortable, can you help me take off my shoes?"

"Of course."

Xia De then knelt on the beach on one knee. Miss Aurora pursed her lips and raised her right foot slightly, looking down at Xia De taking off her purple low-heeled shoes, and then the left one.

Then Xia De did not turn the shoes into toys, but took a rope out of his pocket—he had everything in his pocket—tied the two shoes together with the rope and hung them on his shoulder, and then draped his coat over the same position to cover the shoes.

The brown-haired witch showed a smile, her feet were hidden under her skirt again, and she continued to move forward while stepping on the seawater with a little warmth. Only, she quietly reached out her hand to Xia De, and then hooked her hand with Xia De's.

"When we were in the New Continent, we also often contacted the Council and knew about John Flynn and the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Association】. Before leaving the New Continent, we investigated a little. The Council had no contact with the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Association】 before, and this time it was also investigated by the connections of the Aurora family."

"Is that John Flynn also very famous among the ring-warlocks in the New Continent?"

Xia De asked. The witch who was holding his hand nodded lightly:

"Yes, although his level is still middle-ring, because of the 【Wind King Sword】, his combat power is actually very strong. People have a high evaluation of him, thinking that he and his team are true righteous people. They have performed many missions together in the New Continent and helped many people. They are quite capable.

The only recent failure was earlier this year when he went to Tobesk alone to intercept an angel-level relic being transported from the New Continent and encountered a very dangerous team."

Saying this, she looked at Xia De. Xia De laughed:

"Yes, he encountered our team in Tobesk. That was during the Green Lake incident. I didn't expect to meet him again at the time. However, John Flynn's matter can be discussed later. Now continue to tell me about your experiences in the New Continent, I like to hear such stories."

Before the two left the beach this morning, they did not talk about serious things anymore. They held hands and looked at the sea view together. Miss Aurora cared about Xia De's recent life, and Xia De asked about her other stories in the New Continent.

So when the two held hands and returned to the Belindell Manor together at noon, the Countess who saw the figures of the two on the second-floor balcony said to Miss Ilese beside her:

"Look at them... their relationship is definitely not normal!"

Miss Matilda behind her blinked, thinking that the Countess's appearance was a bit unseemly, while the Blue Dragon girl asked curiously:

"But they were not ordinary friends in the first place."

"I mean, they went to the beach in the morning, they must have... done something."

Miss Ilese just covered her mouth and laughed softly, while the Countess stared at the two holding hands and continuing to walk toward here. She couldn't control it in other places, but this was her home and her house, and she couldn't let the witches do "shameless" things here.

Xia De had lunch with everyone at noon, and the lunch table also discussed the green dragon scale and other dragon scales. These dragon scales had similar properties and possessed extremely strong miracle elements, and each could grant others the power of a dragon. Even if they could not resonate with each other to produce dragon language runes, these dragon scales suspected to be related to the Ancient God 【Dragon of Radiance】 were also very precious treasures.

And during lunch, Xia De also announced another thing:

"Luvia will probably arrive in Moon Bay in these few days. Miss Belindell, she will also live here when the time comes, and I have to trouble you to order the maids to tidy up the room in advance."

Others had no reaction, even Emilia and the little unicorn knew Luvia, but only the Countess sat up straight:

"Luvia Annat? Yes, I have heard you mention this lady many times. She is also a diviner, we will have a common language."

The Countess, who had a strong desire to win, planned to prepare well. Because she didn't know Xia De's true identity at the beginning, she was completely unprepared when Miss Sylvia and Miss Bernice arrived. But this time, since she knew the other party's identity in advance, she wanted to prove that the one who came early was not necessarily the best.

So after lunch, Xia De returned to Tobesk according to the arrangement, and participated in this year's Saint Prayer Festival at the Dawn Church. He was arranged to make a speech and participated in the collective donation with a group of celebrities in Tobesk while visiting the church.

In the evening, Xia De also participated in the Holy Communion distribution activity with Father August, and only bid farewell to the group of people from the church when the lights were on in Dawn Square.

Father August sent Xia De to the carriage. After Xia De entered the carriage, he reached out and shook hands with the priest outside:

"Priest, I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Looking forward to our next meeting, Detective."

The Saint Prayer Festival in the Tobesk diocese could be carried out peacefully, but the Moon Bay diocese was not so lucky. Early Tuesday morning, when Xia De saw Iluna at the Belindell Manor, she brought new information:

"Now, apart from normal religious activities, other activities in the local Dawn Church have been stopped. The Dawn Church has sent a new team from the Holy See to isolate and examine all ring-warlocks in the area."

"Including that 'Hand of Radiance' Mr. Joshua Brooklyn? That's a thirteenth ring? He shouldn't betray, right?"

Miss Aurora asked curiously from the side. Iluna shook her head:

"I don't know, even I can't find out the situation of that gentleman now. Some people say he has returned to the Holy See, and the Dawn Church will send a new thirteenth ring to sit in Moon Bay. But now there are all kinds of statements. I heard Xia De mention the clergy in the City of Wealth before coming to Moon Bay, but I didn't expect it to become like this in the end."

She put the small cookie to her mouth and took a bite:

"Also, Xia De, you have to let your blood-sucking friends be careful. The attack on Sunday night, although the explanation to ordinary people was a large-scale fire in the city and a pirate attack, the church has placed blood-sucking species and cultists in the same dangerous position."

She shook a small cookie at the cat looking at her. The cat, whose tail fire had already gone out, turned around in disgust and changed to another posture to lie down. Iluna shook her head with a smile:

"Last year's God-descending event in Mibao, although that evil god didn't have any impact on Mibao and Mount Sikar after descending, the church still believed that the 【Blood-sucking Sect】 must have a conspiracy. Now that such a thing has happened in Moon Bay, the church is very suspicious that some blood-sucking species are going to tear up the secret agreement that has continued for nearly a thousand years."

Xia De fed half a cookie in his hand to Little Mia:

"I will let them be careful, but in fact, my friends are more inclined to believe that it was the group of blood-sucking species in the New Continent who did this. You know, there are quite a few blood-sucking species in the 【Blood Spirit School】."

"The church doesn't care about so much. Now as long as blood-sucking ring-warlocks dare to show up, they have to go to the church to stay for a month first. Oh, Miss Aurora, the church is also looking for you, wanting to talk to you about the information on blood-sucking species. Of course, they also want to find the God-caller, asking whether the ability to call the Moonlight Greatsword after turning into a dragon is related to this Chosen One ritual."

The eighteen-year-old girl said to the brown-haired witch again, and the latter pointed to Xia De:

"Can't you just ask him?"

Xia De shook his head:

"The dragon roar should not be talked about too much, and I don't know much about the blood-sucking species. I will go to see my friends later, hoping to have some gains... Iluna, what are you going to do next?"

"Participate in the investigation about the Holy Sword and the investigation of the Seven Great Families. The church is pushing for 'cooperation' with the local Seven Great Families, which is almost entering every manor to search. Although the nobles oppose it, you also know that if the church really wants to do something, the nobles cannot stop it."

"Then how much does the church know about the Chosen One ritual of the seventh Chosen One now?"

"The matter of pulling the sword is basically clear. The Orthodox Churches naturally also preserved a few 'Holy Swords', and are now coordinating to transport them to the local area as backups, but I feel that these swords that have not deeply participated in the 'story' of Moon Bay are probably useless.

Apart from this, the poem fragments preserved by the Zaras Academy of Literature mentioned the number seven. The church believes that the Chosen One candidate may also come from the local Seven Great Families. In short, they are the key investigation targets recently."

Iluna swallowed the last bite of the cookie, clapped her hands and stood up:

"Nothing else, I'll go back first. I'm going to lead a team to the countryside to investigate the local dragon legends. I also have to participate in the seminar on 'Special Light' in the evening. The church is trying to find a way to popularize the prevention of those dangerous lights. Now the phenomena of light melting and light self-ignition have appeared frequently in various parts of the material world, and we cannot let them go unchecked." ===== CHAPTER 2292 =====
