Chapter 2365
"Luweiya, that dragon couldn't have known about my appearance in advance. After all, I... am the gravitational force of destiny. But this also means that the Seven Great Families are not the direct descendants of those seven witches? After all, witches cannot give birth."
Xia De summarized, and Luweiya glanced at the door to confirm that the door was closed before nodding:
"Yes, the Seven Great Families were formed by the descendants of their brothers and sisters. As for that strange dragon and the dragon scales and responsibilities it inherited..."
Luweiya pursed her lips and said in a weak tone:
"I was injured when I tried to divine this point. The god who is about to descend on Moon Bay to devour giant dragons is, according to Xia De, the 'Nameless Firstborn' of the Ancient God. Then you guess, since the first dragon created by the Ancient God 'Dragon of Radiance' with his own flesh and power is called the 'Nameless Firstborn' and possesses a special status, does the second one also have something special?"
Iluna almost stood up in surprise:
"You mean, the giant dragon killed by the seven witches at the end of the Fifth Era is actually the 'Second Son'?"
"No, it's the Fourth Son, or the descendant of the Fourth Son. The 'Second Son' is the Old God 'God of Giant Dragons - 【Dragon Wing Emperor】', and the 'Third Son' is the Old God 'God of Volcanoes - 【Lord of Lava】'. The Old Gods all obtained their father's... in the Second Era when the Ancient God left."
Luweiya suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Xia De and Iluna one hurriedly supported her, and one went to fetch the holy water that had not been used up just now. They both stopped her and told her not to say any more.
The purple-eyed girl's face was already frighteningly pale at this time. This kind of ancient secret directly involved the true origin of some "Old Gods". Even if her soul strength far exceeded that of a normal ring warlock, this was not a topic that mortals could easily discuss.
The two comforted Luweiya to lie on the sofa. Luweiya still wanted to continue telling the story, but Xia De and Iluna both disagreed.
Iluna worriedly held the water cup containing "holy water", and Xia De knelt on one side, his eyes also very worried:
"Alright, alright, don't say it. Let me guess, the Fourth Son of the Ancient God failed to share the power like his three brothers, so he lived on as a mortal until his life came to an end. But because of this, he had his own direct descendants through biological reproduction. The ancestors of Belindell, Eddington, and the others killed the descendants of the 'Fourth Son' in the Fifth Era."
Luweiya nodded lightly:
"It is like this. The Fourth Son failed to obtain the power of the 'Father', but obtained a special responsibility. So his descendants generation after generation, while inheriting the power of the giant dragon bloodline far stronger than ordinary giant dragons, also shouldered the responsibility of the 'Fourth Son'."
She looked at Xia De on the side in a lying position, her purple eyes becoming more and more charming.
Although Iluna was worried, she also guessed:
"This duty was passed down to the end of the Fifth Era. According to Xia De, at that time, extraordinary power was greatly weakened compared to the initial era, and even compared to the Second, Third, and Fourth Eras. That dragon, which possessed the noble ancestor, went mad because it could no longer bear that great power and secret, until it was defeated by the seven witches together. Only when it was dying did it wake up, dispersing the power into seven parts, dispersing the secret into seven parts, and passing them on to relatively weak humans."
Luweiya first shook her head and then nodded:
"The result is correct, and the beginning is also correct. The descendants of the Fourth Son did indeed pass down secrets and power from generation to generation. But the reason for going mad was only half right, and also because..."
Her mouth was covered by Xia De's hand, so she had to obediently stop talking.
"So, it was not the Seven Great Families that chose Moon Bay, but the 'Fourth Son' that chose Moon Bay?"
Xia De said, but no one can explain the past clearly. Although the 【Whispering Poem】 and the Chosen One can only be traced back to the witch emperors at the end of the Fifth Era at the earliest, no one now thinks that this is a matter that only started planning at the end of the Fifth Era.
Although the Ancient Gods have left, each of them has made various arrangements in the material world. The God of Wisdom left behind angels, the God of Light has many "descendants", the shadow of the ancient tree god watches everything in the river of time from the other end of the corridor of time, and even the mad "Angel of Death" might be related to that ancient god of death.
The sun and the moon still hang high in the sky, and ancient echoes reverberate in ancient ruins. The Mythical Era and the Initial Era have long ended, but those threads of destiny and stories are still affecting the civilization before the end of the world.
It's just that thinking so much is useless. With Luweiya's state at this time, continuing divination is impossible, and there is only 【Dragon Blood Treasure Money】 left in the coins.
The acquisition of the news of the white dragon scale is a surprise, and the tracing of the ancient story of Moon Bay City can obtain the current information, which has already satisfied Xia De.
The quota for the Chosen One of Light will be contested at the place where the descendants of the Fourth Son of the Ancient God fell. The final scene of the story of the seventh Chosen One has already begun to be staged.
"Speaking of which, the 'Third Son' Old God - God of Volcanoes, isn't that the god worshipped by the 【Volcano Alliance】 who originally possessed the 'Star Sword Stone'?"
Iluna asked suddenly, and Xia De nodded:
"That's why I said, everything has traces to follow."
Luweiya's physical condition was okay, but her spirit was severely damaged, so it was naturally impossible to follow Xia De to visit the old family cemetery of the Wright family.
Iluna had to return to the Sun Church before lunch. She now has a great responsibility and cannot run around.
But Luweiya was worried about the divination result last night and was not at ease letting Xia De go out alone, so she insisted that Xia De go out in the afternoon. And when lunch started, she determined who had time in the afternoon at the dining table before choosing a companion for Xia De to go out:
"Miss Eleise, please accompany Xia De for a trip this afternoon... Xia De has an appointment with Margaret to go to the opera house in the evening, so you must come back before dinner."
Except for the Countess who came back for lunch and knew her worries, the other girls at the table laughed.
Xia De looked at Luweiya curiously. Generally speaking, Luweiya would not say such things at the dining table.
After lunch, Xia De left Little Mia in the manor to take a nap, and then set off with Miss Eleise.
The old family cemetery of the Wright family is far away outside the city, so the manor's carriage sent the two to a farm outside the city, and then they rode horses together.
Originally, they wanted one horse per person, but the ship girl with sea-blue eyes claimed when choosing a horse:
"They are all afraid of me, so I will ride the same one as you."
Saying that, she looked at the horses in the stable, and her normal human eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils. So those horses were all frightened and shrank into the depths of the stable. Miss Eleise looked at Xia De with a "see" expression. Although Xia De nodded, he clearly remembered that when the two of them and Emilia went to visit the elf ruins outside the city last time, Miss Eleise was clearly riding a horse.
Finally, the one chosen was a sturdy date-red horse. Xia De was in front, and the black-haired, blue-eyed girl was hugging Xia De's waist behind.
Relying on the map and the positioning of "Enhanced Space Perception", Xia De was not afraid of getting lost, so he set off directly like this.
At first, neither of them spoke, and the horse ran on the country road, which gradually had thin, glowing white fog. Until Miss Eleise, who was hugging Xia De's waist, lay on his back, making Xia De feel two... warm feelings, she spoke in the wind:
"Do you know? Miss Violet, Miss Teresa, and I have also talked about your possible life in the Sixth Era."
Xia De, holding the reins, listened carefully:
"It seems very different from what you imagined now?"
"No, it's exactly the same."
The girl from the sea smiled:
"The witch emperors believe that with your charm, the witches of the Sixth Era will definitely not let you go. Now it seems that is indeed the case. We just didn't expect that the witches of this era would be so... reserved."
"Reserved" itself is a commendatory term, but Xia De was sure that the girl behind him did not use it as a commendatory term.
"This kind of girl in the Fifth Era cannot become a Great Witch. The witch emperors all know that if they don't take the initiative to snatch, they will get nothing. Xia De, don't look at the witches of the era I was born in as girls with bad personalities; they had to do this in that era."
"The current era is quite good, right?"
"Yes, at least much better than that era. After all, in that era, I couldn't hug you like this."
Her teasing voice clearly entered Xia De's ears in the wind:
"When we sat around the fireplace and had afternoon tea, we also guessed what kind of life you would have in the distant future. Well, it's even more shabby than we expected. Your quality of life does not match your strength."
Xia De didn't dare to admit it when he was at the fifth or sixth ring, but now that he is about to be promoted to the eighth ring, he knows that the girl behind him is right:
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about those; I know I am doing greater things."
"Men will always talk big."
Her face leaned against Xia De's back, wriggling and rubbing a few times:
"And the witches of this era really didn't take good care of you. I heard Luweiya say that you don't even have a resident maid at home? Sometimes you even have to prepare breakfast for yourself? Oh, I really can't understand what the witches of this era are thinking."
There are some things she can't say in front of the witches, but now there is no need to worry about these:
"You are a traveler through time and space, you are a man blessed by the Tree Father and the Sage of the Moon, you are the only opposite sex that witches have been able to contact for millions, tens of millions of years since the First Era. The witches of this era didn't even take good care of the lovers they chose. What else can they do well? The era is too good, and even the witches have no enterprising spirit."
