Chapter 2357: The Power of Armor

Xia De finished his second breakfast quietly. After the maids cleared the bowls and plates from the dining table, Miss Knight's sword returned to Xia De's hand.

Audrey and Miss Aurora believed that although this sword was only an ordinary item, it still had research value:

"Although the council has treasured quite a few personal items of witches from the Fifth Era, there is really not a single item like this related to the birth of a witch."

Saying this, the two looked at Xia De together. Seeing their reluctance, Xia De smiled and lent the sword out:

"Anyway, it's just a souvenir in my hands. Here, return it to me after the Moon Bay incident; as long as you don't destroy this sword, you can study it at will."

"I knew you would never be stingy with us."

Miss Aurora kissed Xia De's side face reservedly. As for Audrey, the twin witch just pursed her lips and looked at him with a smile, which made Xia De think of the expression she had when she was holding that glass goblet when they reunited last week.

As for Luvia and Miss Belindell, who were divining the glowing armor, Xia De had finished a meal, and they couldn't get too many effective conclusions even if they were more powerful.

"But you guessed very correctly; wearing this armor can indeed avoid the damage of special light to a certain extent."

Luvia said, and then asked Xia De to put on the armor:

"The light of that light sword you brought back last time wasn't collected by the 'Empty Bottle Fruit'? Let's try it. Although this armor is sized as if it were custom-made for you, if it can really resist that kind of light, it can protect others even if it's loose when worn."

Others were also curious about this experiment, but before they could take action to help Xia De put on the armor, Miss Matilda hurriedly sent a letter to Megan and Audrey.

The wise great witch opened the letter and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, saying to Xia De:

"There is news."

"What news?"

"My cousin Nadia Follon, she finally agreed to reply to my letter. She agreed to meet you and me in Moon Bay; she will set the time and place, and it will be this week. How about it, are you ready to see her?"

Nadia Follon and the Megan Audrey sisters belonged to the fifth generation of the 【Edwards Family】 and shared the same grandfather. The former was a heretic of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 and the bridge between the "ancestor" Laplace Howard and the 【Dragon Feast Sect】.

Although she was the mother of the Follon brothers of Willendale, in fact, Megan and Audrey were older than her. Of course, the Edwards family had a complex and "magical" bloodline, so the appearance of this Ms. Nadia Follon was also not very old, only in her thirties.

Before the Battle of Green Lake, she had provided important information for Xia De. And the last time he saw her was after the Battle of Green Lake ended, when everyone in the Edwards family reunited at the old house.

"Finally contacted? I thought she didn't want to bother with us. Yes, of course, I want to see her."

The meeting between Nadia Follon and Xia De and her witch cousin of course also had risks for herself, because the meeting time was arranged at night. Specifically, she indicated in the letter that she would meet on Wednesday, which was the night after tomorrow at eight o'clock, and the location was the "Merris Book Club" in the Lower City District of the South City.

"Where is this?"

Xia De asked the countess, who recalled:

"Seems to have some impression; three years ago, when trading relics with local ring warlocks, I arranged for my followers to go there once.

That is an ordinary library on the edge of the Lower City District. You can go there to read books at any time by paying a sum of money every year. Of course, copying is also possible, but you have to pay an extra sum of money, so it is appropriate to call it a club or a library. The library is near the Taton River, south of Herring Street, which you are familiar with. To the east is the riverbank, to the west is the crisscrossing alleys of the Lower City District, and to the south is the dock area; the safety is very guaranteed."

"That's good, Audrey, reply to her that we can meet."

Xia De said, and the witch nodded gently:

"I will go with you then. I will only meet her once and then go to the vicinity to keep watch. You can talk to her about anything; after all, you make the decision here. Although we are relatives, we cannot trust her completely; we still have this vigilance."

Next was to test the resistance of the "Lion Armor of Light" to special light. The location was the basement of the manor, and even Emilia and Ajelina came to join the fun.

The witches helped Xia De put on that cumbersome golden armor together. Xia De didn't actually install the chain accessories for the armor when he participated in the "Tobesk Spring Ring City Equestrian Competition," but this time, under Luvia's instigation, the girls installed all the components of the armor for Xia De together.

"Truly gorgeous."

Although the lights were on in the basement, when Xia De "appeared" wearing that glowing armor, he was still the brightest person present. The solemnity and sacredness made the elf girl with pointed ears couldn't help but sigh, and then she saw the "Empty Bottle Fruit" that she had been asked to try "light shaping" many times being brought over.

"Light," the great witch Shivi Aurora personally wore special gloves and pulled out the bottle stopper. After confirming that Xia De had put on his helmet, she "splashed" the light that had been weakened toward him as if pouring water from a bottle.

Everyone retreated immediately, and the ritual symbols on the ground surrounding Xia De's location lit up at the same time, shielding those already weakened lights almost completely, which was also the research result of the witches recently.

And when those lights touched the glowing armor on Xia De's body, the armor did not suddenly become brighter or darker, but the light "splashed" out weakened slightly, and then dispersed quite evenly in the space around Xia De, making the basement brighter.

"Xia De, how does it feel?"

Audrey asked, and then a slightly muffled voice came from the helmet:

"Except for feeling that this armor suddenly became warm, there is no other feeling. Oh, the temperature is gradually dropping... okay, the temperature has returned to its original state."

"Absorbing part of the special light and converting it into temperature?"

Thus Miss Aurora guessed, and she thought for a while and asked again:

"Do you feel the intensity of these lights compared to the sunlight intensity you encountered in that desert?"

"Far weaker than the sunlight of the Gravel Sand Sea."

"Since this armor can absorb stronger special light, it is normal to absorb the light here."

Luvia evaluated and issued an "order" to Xia De again:

"I remember you have a miracle that emits sunlight; try it now while wearing this armor."

"Xia De, wait a moment!"

The countess said immediately, turning to order Miss Matilda. Before long, the maids moved over a large urn, and after the witch chanted a spell lightly, a skeleton stood up from the urn.

She controlled the revived undead to gradually approach Xia De, while the others consciously stayed away from the skeleton.

Thus Xia De pointed:

"Sunlight Ray!"

The light that appeared first was not at the fingertip, but the warm sunlight on the armor quickly surged along the arm armor and hand armor toward the fingertips of the hand armor, and then the golden ray as thick as a bowl sprayed out, directly evaporating most of the skeleton's body and continuing to shoot toward the back of the skeleton without weakening at all.

Miss Ilese, who also came to "watch the fun," was prepared and raised her hand to block the beam of light. With just a light pinch, the beam of light was crushed.

But she still frowned and looked at her palm; a small area like a burnt black area appeared in the center of her delicate and rosy palm. But thanks to her unusually powerful physical fitness, the injury was recovering:

"Truly violent sunlight. This secret technique is really familiar; did you learn it from Miss Violet? I remember that the original sunlight ray basically only has damage effects on undead, demons, and similar creatures, as long as the power is not deliberately amplified."

Miss Aurora then asked:

"So, can this armor enhance power related to the sun? Xia De, do you feel that the armor itself has been consumed?"

"At least I don't feel it yet."

The subsequent continued experiments proved that only power related to "sunlight" could be enhanced, and miracles related to "light" but not involving the "sun," such as "Felianna's Witch Light" and "Moonlight Greatsword," were still their original power.

And in the continuous experiments, Xia De also discovered that this enhancement of "sun" power did not consume the light already absorbed by the armor itself.

This meant an astonishing fact: before reaching the absorption and enhancement limit of this armor, the armor's continuous contact with sunlight and those special lights was actually equivalent to continuously enhancing the armor's effect. 【2357-6

"So why is it that Little Mia's owner is able to produce something like this?"

The red-haired little princess asked in confusion, even turning her head to glance at the cat currently being held by Tifa, before immediately turning her head back to prevent herself from developing an unnecessary sense of rivalry.

"Xia De said that this armor can only absorb sunlight after being enhanced by the altar of an Ancient God's temple in an abnormal zone like the Sea of Sand. Perhaps there really is something wrong with the armor itself, or perhaps this is just a coincidence that cannot be replicated. But in any case, with this set of armor, many things will be saved later on."

Luvia said with a smile, then signaled for Xia De to take off the armor:

"Angelina, Amelia, you two go and try it."

"Us?"

The little princess and the pointed-eared elf girl both pointed at themselves, but Miss Aphra understood Luvia's intention:

"Angelina is a first-tier of the Lower Ring, and Amelia is a first-tier of the Middle Ring; Xia De's level is basically that of the High Ring. You should both try the enhancement effect of this armor, as it will also help in evaluating its function. Of course, I will be the one to try it last."
