Chapter 2363

~10 min read 1,876 words

After a night of peaceful sleep, it was Tuesday. Early this morning, Xia De appeared at Margaret Manor.

Because he arrived really early, Margaret was still having breakfast with Miss Sylvia, so she called Xia De and Little Mia to have another meal.

Margaret seemed to be particularly fond of sweets, and the dessert after the meal was even more delicious than the main course. She heard Xia De talk about Carmen Eddington, so she nodded in agreement:

"The invitation is easy to handle, so, you will also come to the banquet on Friday, right?"

"Of course."

Xia De touched Little Mia:

"I have a premonition that this will probably be the last grand banquet we can attend before the Moon Bay incident ends. I hope we have a good time then."

"Judging from the current weather, it is clearly summer, but I am afraid the banquet cannot open the outdoor activity area."

Miss Sylvia looked out the window:

"Bella and Luweiya, have they ever said when this fog will dissipate?"

She was treating the two diviners as "weather forecasters", but in fact, predicting the weather was indeed the specialty of prophets.

"They said that this fog is not only drifting out from the 'edge of life and death', but also contains other components, and the results have not yet been analyzed."

Margaret sighed immediately:

"In the past few days, the Moon Bay City Third Psychiatric Hospital and the 'Moon Bay Flower Nursing Home' have been full of people; lunatics are almost all over the city. If there were no such fog, things would be even worse; I am afraid the whole city would have been in turmoil. Fortunately, after this light is filtered by the thick fog, it is significantly weakened, and the skin diseases caused can be slowly cured by using potions added with No. 4 holy water."

"Alright, alright, I didn't come here to bring you trouble early in the morning."

Xia De interrupted the Princess's worries:

"Today is Tuesday, and this week has just begun. Margaret, besides the banquet on Friday, what else are you going to do in the next few days? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Xia De, my knight, you are already busy enough.

Most of my time in Moon Bay is spent on socializing, countless meetings, conversations, and visits. I am already used to these; I really don't know how my father adapted to this kind of life."

She put down her knife and fork very elegantly and looked at Xia De:

"When I was at Green Lake this year, I heard Princess Princess Lei Qianya say that you like to watch operas with her?"

Xia De raised an eyebrow and almost asked "Which kind of opera do you mean":

"Yes."

"Then are you busy tonight? If not, would you like to go to the Eddington Opera House with me to watch an opera... If you are busy, forget it; there will be time later anyway."

Although she said so, even Miss Sylvia on the side laughed:

"Xia De, you should accompany her. You don't know how much pressure Margaret has been under during this period. If she weren't a ring warlock and a witch apprentice, and had a way to use secret arts to regulate her body, I think even her physiological cycle would be messed up."

The blonde Princess's face was already flushed at this time.

Although he had an appointment to watch an opera with Margaret tonight, Xia De did not waste his time during the day.

Now that the identity of the Chosen One was basically determined, the most important thing in his hands was to decide who to support to become the Chosen One.

"After 'helping' Lady Jude in the barn that night and talking to Mr. Albert, I inexplicably realized 'guidance' again. And Miss Rice said that the 【Blood Sorrow】 scars on the vampire who died ten years ago were all avoiding the fatal position with surgical precision... That sword is in the hands of Mr. Ptolemy Albert, right?"

After leaving from the back door of Margaret Manor, Xia De also looked towards the direction of Spider Alley:

"From the beginning, Mr. Bernhard suspected that the sword was in the hands of his good friend. It seems that Mr. Bernhard should have also noticed something."

He sighed, but did not go to Spider Alley immediately, but returned to Belindell Manor first.

Very coincidentally, when Xia De went back, he happened to run into Iluna also visiting the manor.

She still carried 【Pale Justice】 with her, and when she entered the manor with Xia De and ran into Emilia and Angelina, she handed the sword to the elf girl:

"You take it first and try to see if you can realize anything. Xia De said that your talent for cold weapon fighting is not very good, but you learned a set of elf sword dances in the elf ruins. Maybe the sword styles inherited by this sword can help you."

Iluna also knew that Emilia was kind-hearted, so she dared to hand this Angel-level relic to her.

The elf girl looked flattered. Compared to Iluna, the "Chosen One of Balance" who was "used to seeing the world", this was one of the few Angel-level relics she had come into contact with.

With the little unicorn by their side, Xia De was not worried that this relic would cause any influence, so he and Iluna went to the study of the manor, and Luweiya was already sitting there at this time.

No one else came to disturb the meeting of the three. After Xia De sat down, he lined up the six coins he brought from home on the desktop:

"【Pirate's Blood Money】, 【Thunder God's Wrath】, 【King's Egg】, two 【Coins of Wisdom】, 【Dragon Blood Treasure Money】. The quantity is sufficient, and the variety is quite large. Now that things have developed to this point, I don't think there is any need to save."

Luweiya nodded, but did not rush to divine, but asked Iluna:

"How do you feel during this time in Moon Bay? What have you been busy with recently?"

The eighteen-year-old girl held a teacup and sipped the black tea:

"Moon Bay has become the seventh 'Land of Destiny', and the relics inside and outside the city are increasing. And I also have to go to the islands outside the city or near the sea regularly to clear the dragon nests where the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 hatches dragon beasts with the church team. No one knows how they managed to get so many nests."

After a pause, she added:

"However, the subsidy for coming to Moon Bay on a business trip is really high... quite high."

Xia De and Luweiya both laughed, and Xia De continued to ask:

"Is there any new news from the church?"

"Yes, in the process of tracking down those cultists, the church has found clear evidence to prove that they want to summon gods. Well, everyone actually knows this."

She shook her head, put down the teacup, and looked at the snacks on the table, but did not take them because of her figure:

"Yesterday's operation had a big harvest. After killing a high-level priest of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 during the arrest, before his soul disappeared, the psychic troops of the church learned that the location of the god-summoning was that old 'Dragon Feast Ritual Site'."

"Xia De said that this time the five major righteous churches seem to be unable to summon gods."

Luweiya said again, and Iluna looked at Xia De unexpectedly:

"Yes, does Xia De even know this? So the pressure on the church this time is also very great, especially after the incident of the Dawn Church. I don't know if those witches have already told Xia De that the church wants to talk to you.

The fact that the righteous gods cannot come to the material world for the time being belongs to the top secret of top secrets. In our era, except for those five righteous gods, the remaining gods in the non-evil god camp are probably only the ancient moon god behind the 'God-Summoner'."

In fact, Iluna very much suspected that the so-called "ancient moon god" was Xia De himself. After all, she and Luweiya had never seen Xia De pray devoutly to any god, and there were no holy emblems, statues, or religious texts on Xia De. They sometimes even felt that Xia De was like a "non-believer". Of course, Xia De didn't say it himself, and they wouldn't mention it.

"Has the church thought about contacting other evil god believers? As far as I know, the enemy of that god who devours giant dragons is not small."

Xia De asked curiously, and Iluna shook her head immediately:

"Hostility towards cultists is one of the tenets of the Five Gods Church. If limited cooperation with cultists will only shake some people's faith, then calling on evil gods to help the Five Gods Church will probably cause the sect to collapse directly. Helping people get rid of the influence of cults and crushing the conspiracy of cult groups is one of the foundations of the existence of the Five Gods Church.

Moreover, as far as I know, other gods in this era don't have a very good relationship with us either. Even if we really take the risk to ask for help, we won't get any results."

"Then Xia De, do you plan to communicate with the church?"

The purple-eyed girl asked curiously, and Xia De refused without thinking:

"I am only at the seventh ring now, and I will not have any form of contact with the church. At most, I will let the witches or Iluna bring a message, saying that the 'God-Summoner' is ready at any time. Of course, the situation this time is indeed severe."

Seeing the worry on Xia De's face and thinking of the divination result with the witch last night, Luweiya's heart "thumped".

Just before she could speak, Iluna said easily again:

"That's fine too. I don't approve of Xia De contacting the church at the current stage either, at least after the twelfth ring. Well, almost next year."

Saying that, she laughed, and Xia De did not forget to tell Iluna the good news:

"The recent time key has ended, and I successfully obtained an Enlightenment spirit rune. Now only the sublimation language spirit rune and the miracle are missing. Even in the slowest case, almost by the time the Chosen One of Light appears, I can obtain Miracle-Guidance."

"We have never worried about your situation."

The eighteen-year-old girl was full of smiles, and then she looked at the coins on the table:

"Before divination, can I make a small request? Recently I am learning a strange art related to thunder, maybe it can enhance my 【Sunlight Gun】. Can this 'Thunder God's Wrath' be lent to me for a while?"

"Of course you can."

Feeling that she had missed the topic, so it was not good to mention things like "God War" again, Luweiya reached out and handed the coin to Iluna:

"There are five left, this quantity is enough. Xia De, you still decide what to divine."
