Chapter 2368

"You are willing to let me go?"

The man wearing glasses asked in surprise, Xia De thought for a while:

"Well... did you bring your wallet?"

"Of course I brought it, who would go out without a wallet?"

"Take half of the money in your wallet and give it to me, as a thank you for saving you."

The other party obviously didn't expect to encounter such a request, but if he could really leave by spending money, he would of course not question it.

So the man who called himself "Claude Bins" said to Xia De while taking out his wallet:

"You saved me, of course some money is no problem, I'll give it all to you.

We were able to hear that this cemetery has secrets, not because of very careful investigation. You should know that for big nobles like the Wright family, there are actually many descendants. A professor at the Moon Bay City College of Arts has studied that among the current Moon Bay residents, at least five percent of the bloodline is related to the Seven Great Families."

He put all the coins and banknotes in his wallet on the ground:

"Only one of the many children can inherit property and titles. And the descendants who left the family and drifted away from the family also have more or less things brought from the family before.

It was about two months ago, in the lower city, sorry, I can't say the specific location. A poor pregnant woman fainted in an alley in the lower city. We saved her and helped contact 'Snake Heart Hospital' to let her check in and successfully gave birth to a son.

She wanted to repay us, so she gave us the pendant that was said to be left by the gambler father of the child before he died... We didn't want to accept it at first, but looking at the woman's appearance, she hated that man to the bone and didn't want her son to have any form of connection with that man again, even though the gambler had already been beaten to death because of debt."

This kind of thing is not rare in the lower city. Xia De and coroner Mr. Albert have known each other for nearly two months, and occasionally they would hear him talk about various stories of corpses in their conversations.

Once involved in gambling, it will destroy more than just the gambler himself.

"Is there a problem with that pendant?"

"Yes."

He took out the silver pendant from his pocket and put it on the ground together with the coins:

"We didn't care about this at first, just treating it as a thank-you gift from the woman. Until recently... well, 'Devout Practitioner', yes, our leader is called 'Devout Practitioner', he asked us to investigate the ancient secrets of the Seven Great Families, and then we realized that the symbol behind this pendant is very similar to the family crest of the Wright family at that time, just deformed.

After repeated inspections and divination, it was discovered that irradiating this pendant with light at a specific angle would show the address here in the shadow of the pendant. But the address only pointed to a range of this underground tomb area. I think when the ancient ring warlock left this pendant, he probably didn't expect that the tomb area would become so big in the end."

Xia De waved his hand, and the pendant on the ground flew towards him together with the banknotes and change. He checked it slightly and nodded, so the man bowed slightly to Xia De, and then ran past him.

Miss Eleise avoided him in the dark and walked out again after he went far away.

Xia De took out the medal 【Noble Blood Red】 painted red, pressed the medal lightly, and the medal transformed into a small bat and chased the man who left.

After waiting for a while, Xia De said:

"He left without looking back."

"So speaking of which, 【Eternal Light】, which saves the poor in the lower city and incites people to resist nobles and merchants, is really not a simple ordinary organization?"

The blue-eyed girl asked, and Xia De nodded while counting the banknotes:

"Yes, that's right. If it were just an ordinary organization, where would the 【Light-Worshipper Training Society】 need to be so troublesome to annex them? Mental control, killing and controlling corpses, and even disguise replacement are all very convenient... A total of 2 crowns, 3 oer, 13 fenny. If there is time in a while, lady, would you like to do me the honor of having afternoon tea?"

Xia De asked with a smile, so the girl said "reservedly":

"Don't you have an appointment tonight?"

"But I can always make time. Since you came to my side, I haven't found time to accompany you."

"Seeing that you are so pitiful, I will promise you."

Saying that, she kissed him lightly on the cheek:

"Also, don't apologize to me. It's not you who owe me, it's me who owe you."

It's a pity that in someone else's underground tomb area, it's really not suitable to continue this topic.

The location information contained in that silver pendant indeed overlaps with the specific location given after Luweiya's divination. If the man belonging to 【Eternal Light】 just now were luckier, he might have had a chance to take away the hidden letter one step ahead of Xia De and the two.

"But I am still curious, what method do they have to cover up destiny?"

The blue-eyed girl asked while Xia De was carefully kneeling in the corner of a tomb chamber deep in the tomb area to dig soil, and Xia De answered while digging soil:

"There is no need to explore this now. It seems that 【Eternal Light】 just happened to learn that there might be something here, so they sent people to come. They are not treating collecting dragon scales as the primary goal. I know that 【Eternal Light】 probably really has good things in their hands..."

He paused when he said this, but Miss Eleise didn't know that Xia De thought of the diamond he had been looking for:

"With this contact established, there will be opportunities to negotiate with them in the future. The things I want to find are not in a hurry to use. Now the primary goal is... found it!"

The rusty iron box was dug out by Xia De. A stroke of moonlight in his hand cut the lid directly, revealing the parchment that had been treated with special potions, so it not only didn't rot, but even the ink on it didn't fade.

Xia De read the content on it simply and showed a smile. The location of the white dragon scale was written on it, and the location was quite close.

After dealing with the things here, there was no need to return the horse to the farm on the way back, but rode directly to the pier.

It's just that during the return trip, it was no longer Xia De sitting in front and the blue-eyed girl hugging his waist behind, but the girl sitting in front leaning against Xia De's chest, and Xia De's arms wrapped around her holding the reins.

There were no accidents along the way, but just as they were about to enter the city, they found that the city gate on the other side of St. George Stone Bridge was actually in a state of martial law. But it was not that they were not allowed to enter or leave, but the Karsenrik soldiers guarding the gate warned people entering the city to avoid drinking raw water as much as possible.

"What's wrong this time?"

Xia De still remembered that he promised to treat the blue-eyed girl to a cup of afternoon tea, but she insisted that it was not necessary for the time being:

"Now is not the time for afternoon tea, let's go back and ask about the situation first."

The two returned to the "Radiant Messenger" in the thick fog. The horse was temporarily kept on the ship for his use, and Miss Aphra, who stayed on the ship, also told them the current situation:

"It was about half an hour after you left that multiple poisoning incidents occurred in the city. This 'multiple' refers to more than a hundred."

The Great Witch of "Light" shook her head:

"This kind of glowing thick fog invaded the rivers and wells, making the water body also contaminated with the power of peculiar light. Although the degree is very slight, even a first-ring warlock like Angelina will not be affected, but for ordinary people, this is still a deadly poison.

It has now been proven that heating raw water or praying to the righteous gods before drinking water can avoid being affected. I don't know the specific disaster situation here. Bella has already hurried out to the City Council, and I hope she can come back before dinner."

Because of the environmental and groundwater pollution caused by steam industry, "drinking boiled water" has gradually become the living habit of residents in big cities, but there are still many people who occasionally drink raw water directly, especially in the lower city. After all, boiling tap water or well water also requires gas costs.

Weird guys like nobles and foreigners, even if they don't make tea and only drink white water, will definitely heat the water. Therefore, the people affected this time are actually more ordinary citizens in the middle and lower classes.

Although there was bad news in the city again, at least there was good news, that is, Xia De and Miss Eleise successfully brought back the white dragon scale.

The parchment in the old cemetery of the Wright family directly recorded that the dragon scale was also in the cemetery. But without specific secret words and corresponding opening rituals, even if the entire cemetery were dug three feet deep, the dragon scale could not be obtained.

"I was shocked myself at the time. That ring warlock of the Wright family was actually proficient in space power. The white dragon scale was almost sealed in the sub-space. I can hardly imagine that the Wright family once had such an outstanding ring warlock. Miss Belindell's detection method and Luweiya's compass are useless for this kind of scale."

When Xia De, Miss Eleise, Miss Aphra, and Luweiya sat down at the long table in the cruise ship banquet hall, Xia De said so.

The parchment and the small box containing the dragon scale were placed on the table. The size and shape of the white dragon scale emitting a faint light were no different from the other four dragon scales.

After the portal was established, the other four dragon scales had been stored on the safer "Radiant Messenger", and at this time, they had been taken out by Miss Eleise.

The five dragon scales of black, green, gold, silver, and white, even if they were not placed in specific positions, already had a trend of mutual attraction and resonance.

"For every additional dragon scale, the power stimulated in these scales becomes more powerful, feeling like an exponential increase."

Xia De commented, and Luweiya nodded and was about to speak, but saw Tifa walking over with the elf girl with pointed ears.

The little unicorn and Angelina also followed to join in the fun, so Luweiya explained to everyone:

"Although it is unlikely that Emilia will go to the battlefield in the end, she has pulled out that sword after all, and she is also one of the candidates. It is necessary for her to understand these things, and afterwards, I also asked Tifa to give her special training for the battlefield."
