Chapter 2319

"Are you always like this?"

Miss Yilaise, who went out to find that silver dragon scale today and successfully brought it back, asked Miss Aurora. The latter was twisting a cherry as an appetizer, as if considering whether to add it to champagne or wine in a while;

"What is always like this? Are you referring to the atmosphere?"

Miss Aurora asked curiously, and then scanned this scene of harmonious atmosphere at the table:

"If you want to ask about the atmosphere, then are you referring to the atmosphere of this dining table as a family dinner for the Hamilton family, or as a dinner for the Witch Council?"

The Blue Dragon girl blinked:

"Witch Council. In my impression, every meeting and dinner of the council members in the Fifth Era was like... um, can you imagine? In an ice and snow castle on a mountain peak covered in blizzards, there are floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the table instead of walls. Outside the window, dense snowflakes are falling, and then at the long table inside the window, an ice-carved chair is placed every five or six meters. The noble ladies sit upright on the chairs, holding goblets made of ice in their hands, and the wine in the cups also has ice cubes added."

"Just hearing you say it, I can tell how cold it is."

Luweiya, who heard this conversation, evaluated, while Miss Aurora covered her mouth and laughed:

"Miss Yilaise, are you surprised that the relationship between the witches of the Sixth Era is so good?"

She glanced at Xia De, who was discussing the "seating" problem of Little Mia with Miss Matilda, who clearly had an abnormal mood:

"Before Xia De appeared, our relationship was limited to ordinary friends. Galina was very aloof, and I was busy with family business and wouldn't have too much contact with others outside the council. Megan and Audrey were mysterious and, except for the Speaker, no one knew clearly. Bella stayed in her Moon Bay all year round, and Grandma Cassandra was old and rarely left Midehillburg. It was just that the relationship between Emma and Vanessa had always been quite good."

Miss Aurora explained, and smiled at Xia De who looked over:

"But since Xia De appeared, this cunning man has allowed everyone to sit down and eat like a family. Otherwise, even if everyone was arranged to Moon Bay to fight the enemy, we probably wouldn't sit down together like this. Luweiya, is it the same when you eat dinner together at Xia De's house?"

The diviner lady with purple eyes recalled:

"It's also like this, but Xia De's dining table at home can't seat so many people... However, there is also a long table in the house, and the area inside the house is very large."

Everyone didn't discuss serious matters while eating, only the owner of the manor took the initiative to raise her glass, signaling everyone to have a drink together to celebrate the reunion at this moment:

"Except for Sister Daifulin, everyone participating in this operation has arrived in Moon Bay. I wish this operation success."

Including Amelia, everyone raised their glasses and touched them lightly on the table, and then officially started the sumptuous dinner.

Although Xia De didn't do any serious business today, he was also tired for a day, so during the dinner, Megan, who was specially sitting beside Xia De, kept asking him if he wanted to add food as if she was afraid Xia De wouldn't be full.

Everyone was in a good mood, talking and laughing with the people around them about topics they were interested in. And halfway through the dinner, Xia De, who was listening to Megan tell about the trouble of Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals and the work of rearranging the revival of "Green Lake Island" that she and Audrey had handled for these two months, suddenly froze, and then looked up at the window.

Almost the next moment, the great witches, Luweiya, and the little unicorn also stopped talking and laughing and looked out the window. And Ajelina and Amelia were the slowest to react. Noticing that everyone stopped talking, they looked out with everyone else:

"Hmm, isn't it almost eight o'clock? Isn't it a bit too bright outside now?"

The red-haired little princess asked softly.

Outside the window was the night of Moon Bay, and looking out at this moment, although the night sky could not be considered "bright as day," it was completely not the darkness that the night should have.

"I remember before dinner, it was still very normal outside."

Amelia also said, but everyone didn't rush to gather by the window; this is the stupidest behavior when facing unknown events.

Xia De stood up, and then Miss Aurora, Vanessa, and Megan also followed. They were all 12th-level great witches.

Looking out the window, the whole earth, although tranquil, was completely illuminated by the abnormally shining stars and moon. The mysterious veil of the night seemed to be rudely lifted, exposing all secrets to people's eyes.

The surprisingly bright moon and stars even allowed Xia De to see the details on the distant streets. And staring at the moon and stars for a long time would produce a wonderful sense of panic, as if familiar scenery no longer existed in the past way.

"It seems Moon Bay City Hall can save a sum of money on gas street lamps."

Megan was still joking on the side, while Vanessa asked Xia De and Miss Aurora:

"What did you feel?"

"The light has become abnormal. I don't mean moonlight and starlight; it's all the light outside here."

Miss Aurora said seriously, and turned to the countess:

"Bella, go and order your maids to pull all the curtains tight."

Miss Matilda and Difa stood up and left the dining room immediately. Xia De didn't go to be curious about how Miss Matilda accepted Difa and the others participating in the management of this manor again:

"All the light outside is harmful... I felt malice from the light, somewhat like the situation in the Gravel Desert. Ring warlocks are okay to say, but if ordinary people stay outside for a long time, I'm afraid their skin will suffer permanent and irreversible damage."

"Not only that."

The great witch of "Light" pressed her hand on the glass:

"There is also mental harm, but I don't know if this phenomenon only happens around Moon Bay, or if the whole material world is like this tonight."

Clatter~

A few dice were thrown out lightly by Luweiya:

"High probability it's the whole world, but Moon Bay is indeed the most strongly affected. Xia De, what feeling does the moon give you now."

Xia De looked at the moon through the window in a daze:

"The moon is still that moon, but it has become somewhat strange."

He tried to reach out to touch the three moons that were even somewhat dazzlingly bright, but sure enough, he only touched the glass. The moon itself didn't undergo any changes; it was the light emitted by the moon that became abnormal.

Xia De could perceive the wrongness outside earlier than anyone else, precisely because of his special perception of the moon. He was somewhat angry in his heart now, but didn't know why he was angry.

And Miss Beilinder at the table asked at this time:

"Still can't form sentences, but some identifiable fragments have appeared. There are many phrases related to the word 'sword', it seems that even if the information here is not the content of the Chosen One ritual, it has a major connection with this."

He looked carefully for a while before sitting down again, and the fluffy cat took the opportunity to jump onto his lap:

"Many fragments are too isolated, I will write them down in a while, and everyone will try to interpret them together. However, I read a complete proper noun 'Star Sword Stone' in it."

He tried to pronounce it in different ways, and Luweiya and Miss Yilaise soon heard the clues:

"Guardian-level relic 【Star Sword Stone】, this relic is very ancient, and it is considered quite famous in some groups. On a clear night, use thunder to strike that stone, then a sword-shaped meteorite will fall from the starry sky. The meteorite itself has activity and will attack the person using this relic, and after defeating that meteorite and letting it lose activity, the meteorite itself is an extremely precious meteorite alloy material.

That kind of meteorite alloy is called 'Starlight Iron', which is even more precious than the astral meteorite brought by the appearance of 'Color Out of Space' during the Battle of Green Lake. In the cold weapon era, weapons cast from this material were something many people dreamed of because of their excellent metal properties and natural faint Whispering Elements."

"Although I don't know what this has to do with the Chosen One ritual, it's better to get it first. Where is this relic now?"

Xia De inquired, and Luweiya shook her head:

"Since the Sixth Era, I have never heard of this relic appearing again, it seems to have been lost during the era change. If it weren't because it is famous, I wouldn't even think of this thing."

Miss Yilaise recalled:

"In the era I lived in the Fifth Era, 【Star Sword Stone】 was in the hands of a very famous 12th-level witch in the Western Continent at that time. The other party specialized in weapon manufacturing and even wrote to Miss Violet, trying to borrow 【Night Watchman】 to study it, but was rejected by Miss Violet..."

"A lost relic..."

"What is lost?"

A voice came from the door, and with the rapid heating of the badge, the ladies who returned from the council returned to the study one after another, which was faster than Xia De thought.

Thus, Xia De repeated the matter of interpreting the relic 【Star Sword Stone】 from the dragon language runes again. Miss Beilinder, Miss Aurora, Vanessa, and Miss Sylvia didn't know its whereabouts, but also thought it was necessary to get it first.

Megan thought for a while:

"When the Speaker chatted with me once, she mentioned this kind of 'Starlight Iron'... I remembered, she said that the pocket watch she always carried with her had 'Starlight Iron' components, so the quality of that pocket watch was quite good. She was quite troubled at first about how to cover up the faint Whispering Elements in it, and later it was the 'Creation' great witch of the council who helped, only then did that pocket watch completely turn into an ordinary item."

The other girls were interested in this anecdote, only Xia De moved his body inconspicuously, because the toy that the pocket watch turned into was currently on him.

"Then where did the Speaker's Starlight Iron come from?"

Luweiya asked, and Megan shook her head:

"I didn't ask this. It doesn't matter, when I opened the meeting just now, we just talked simply about the celestial phenomena in various places tonight. The starry sky and the moon in other places where others are also too bright. The Speaker said to hold another meeting tomorrow morning, Galina complained about this... I will ask tomorrow morning, if it is really related to the Chosen One ritual, even if it has been lost since the first year of the First Era, it will definitely appear in Moon Bay."

Thus, only Xia De and the elf girl were left in the dining room. Little Mia, who was full, lay on Xia De's lap wagging her tail, while the little unicorn was still enjoying the fruit after the meal.
