Chapter 2298: Flawless Moonstone

Although opening that door in the "Gravel Sand Sea" nominally required four keys, in reality, this quantity was not much at all, because similar divine items or symbols were easy to find.

"Earth" was taken care of by the cat-shaped clay figurine Vanessa gave him, and "Sun" could completely use Little Mia, who had the bloodline of the "Child of the Sun"; Xia De had done this when he was at the "Gadis Library." Although he didn't have specific ideas for "Moon" and "Light," fortunately, this was the time when the Chosen of "Light" was about to appear, and there was no shortage of items related to that Ancient God here.

"Those three dragon scales would work, but the problem is, we aren't sure if you can still bring the dragon scales back; they are very important and absolutely cannot have any mishaps."

In the garden behind the manor, Luvia, sitting at a table under the grape trellis, was saying to Xia De while propping her chin and watching Amelia, Ajelina, and the two maids grooming the little unicorn not far away:

"But this isn't a big problem; we ourselves have to prepare artifacts related to the power of the Ancient Gods for the Chosen."

She looked at Xia De:

"I asked Old John to help purchase a damaged Holy Emblem of the 'Dragon of Radiance.' He said it would arrive by the weekend; you can go get it yourself then. Don't worry about the Chosen; as long as you want to find them, similar items can be found quickly."

Luvia usually worried about these things. Xia De nodded and asked her again:

"Do you have any good ideas about the Moon?"

"Hmm... Little Mia represents the Sun, you represent the Moon."

She joked.

"But I don't have any 'Child of the Moon' bloodline. Those three moon stone slabs would definitely work, but I don't want to send them to the past. Although Moon Water is a very precious material, it's still a bit too far-fetched to get involved with that Sage of the Silver Moon."

Xia De also looked at Amelia and Ajelina, saying very troubled:

"Come to think of it, if I go to the Temple of Night in Randall Valley to dig up some dirt, or dig a small piece of stone from the remaining arches and pillars, this definitely wouldn't count as a symbol, right?"

"Of course it wouldn't; be careful that the Moon no longer protects you, Xia De."

Luvia said with a smile, and "She" also chuckled in Xia De's ear.

"I feel that as long as you want to find it, you can still find it. Your fate is intertwined with the Moon, and the Moon's care for you is something I would definitely see as long as I'm not a blind diviner... A blind diviner could probably see it too."

The purple-eyed girl pushed Xia De gently:

"Go for a stroll in the city; the threads of fate will weave your future. Of course, if you really can't find it by then, you absolutely must not go dig dirt at the Temple of Night... Going to pray is fine; maybe some stones will fall from the Moon and hit you."

Xia De nodded slowly and asked curiously in a low voice:

"I have another thing I'm curious about. Isn't Miss Belindell out? Have you met before? Why do I feel she is a bit... afraid of you?"

Luvia glanced at him:

"I'll tell you about this later; I'm also exploring this matter. Maybe her dreams gave her some fragments about the future, but what will I do in the future?"

Maybe what she did in the past.

"Also."

The woman diviner reached out to tidy Xia De's collar and said again:

"I'm also curious about another thing. Did Miss Bernice encounter any good things just now? When she left, she was bouncing like a little girl like Ajelina."

"Probably... related to me."

"No need to explain, I understand."

She shook her head with a smile and looked at the cat lying on Xia De's lap:

"The future that will eventually arrive is not far away, Xia De. The story of Moon Bay can be considered to have entered its final chapter. And the person who receives the honor this time might be beyond our expectations."

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and aimlessly strolling in the city wasn't actually particularly interesting. Although Xia De eventually went out, he took Luvia with him:

"Little Mia stays behind; you accompany me for a walk in the city. You just arrived in Moon Bay and haven't been anywhere; we might not have time to stroll in the city later. We can go see the Big Ben of Belindell first, then go for a walk by the sea. If you are interested, we can also go to the shops and black market in the Lower City, and by the way, see the Moon Bay Bridge crossing the Taton River that is about to be completed."

So the purple-eyed girl, who said "You go yourself" but was actually very happy in her heart, finally went out with Xia De. And Tifa, who was seeing them off at the door while holding Little Mia, welcomed the two back at almost the same spot that evening.

Nothing special happened on the ordinary Wednesday afternoon, and the two who went out really just strolled around the city. However, when the black-haired maid handed the restless cat to Xia De, the cat immediately discovered that Xia De was clutching something in his hand.

It maintained its curious nature, standing on Xia De's shoulder sniffing around. Only when it discovered that what Xia De was holding was a glowing silver "pebble" did it lose interest, turning instead to look at the bread bag Luvia was holding:

"Meow~"

There must be good things in there; it had already smelled the scent.

Luvia came to Moon Bay today, so Miss Aurora, Vanessa, and Miss Sylvia all came to the manor for dinner. Not only the four great witches, but also Siris, Tifa, Miss Matilda, Miss Swift, and even the busy Margaret appeared at the dinner table.

Although Miss Matilda and Tifa refused to sit down, with the addition of the elf girl, the little princess, and Miss Eilesser who rushed back from the seaside before dinner, there were actually quite a few people sitting at the table.

"Angie Eilesser, very happy to meet you. Xia De often mentions you; your eyes are even more beautiful than we imagined."

The blue dragon girl took the initiative to shake hands with Luvia, and those purple eyes glanced at her chest without a trace:

"Hello, Luvia Anat."

Luvia said softly, then glanced at Xia De again, and then at Tifa, feeling that Xia De was indeed still a very naive big boy.

"Luck was really good this afternoon."

Dinner began. Xia De, sitting on the Countess's left hand, pointed happily to the glowing stone placed on a towel on the table beside him:

"Luvia and I went to the local black market for a stroll. I originally wanted to try and see if there were any special coin-type relics, but we ended up buying this."

Miss Aurora was on Xia De's left and recognized it immediately:

"This is a 'Flawless Moonstone'?"

She raised an eyebrow:

"Wait, I remember this is a derivative relic of the Unknown-level relic 【Moon in the Water】. The local black market actually has this kind of thing?"

She asked the Countess at the head of the table in great surprise, while the blonde maid served Xia De fruit salad as an appetizer between Xia De and her.

"Bella, is the Unknown-level relic 【Moon in the Water】 also local?"

"No, no, of course not, otherwise all clear liquids within the city range would see the reflection of the moon in them at night. The ring warlock who sold this item said it was an heirloom from his family. He urgently needed a 【Universal Key】, and I happened to have one in my hand, so I exchanged it with him."

Xia De seemed exceptionally happy:

"Vanessa provided me with important clues this afternoon. Now I have the symbols for Earth, Moon, and Sun; I only lack the symbol for Light. Luvia is right, the Moon has a special bond with me; luck was really good today, we just strolled around and bought this kind of thing."

As a derivative of an Unknown-level relic, the "Flawless Moonstone" could only be obtained by fishing it out from the reflection of the "Moon in the Water." Its function was to serve as a ritual item symbolizing the Moon, as a potion material, and of course, more specially, throwing this stone into a river or lake at night in an area where the "Moon in the Water" was not present could reveal the reflection of the moon in those waters and immediately disperse clouds or other obstructions, allowing the moon to appear in the night sky.

Although its value was slightly worse than the "Universal Key," it wasn't much worse.

As Xia De spoke, he patted his pocket and Little Mia's butt, and the cat looked at him suspiciously. Miss Sylvia, beside Miss Bernice, also said suspiciously:

"Vanessa?"

She, or rather they, keenly noticed that Xia De directly addressed the Witch of Earth by her name. The latter smiled reservedly and didn't explain, but even Ajelina and Amelia could feel her pride.

Although Luvia was in Moon Bay, Xia De didn't stay in Moon Bay that day. After dinner, he took Little Mia back home, preparing to rest well and strive to solve the threat letter received by Mrs. Jude with Mr. Bernhardt tomorrow.

And after seeing off Xia De, who threw away the crystal shoe, Luvia turned to look at the other witches who were also seeing Xia De off:

"Shall we talk?"

Everyone else had an indifferent expression; only the Countess was slightly nervous. So the ladies went to the study together. Amelia stood where she was, not knowing if the invitation included her, but soon she was pulled along by the somewhat excited Ajelina:

"Let's go see the fun; my sister isn't here, so I am her... representative."

"Amelia, let's talk alone in a while."

Luvia turned to the elf girl with pointed ears, who pointed at herself in surprise, then nodded blankly.

Luvia wanted to talk to her about the Chosen. Even if the order was far behind, the purple-eyed girl wanted to ensure everything was foolproof. But the simple elf thought Luvia had seen through her little thoughts, so she was restless until she talked to Luvia on the second-floor terrace that night. ===== CHAPTER 2299 =====
