Chapter 2387: Deterioration

When Xia De and the blonde girl walked out of the bedroom, Galina was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea. The maids who hadn't slept in the middle of the night had already prepared snacks and hot water, and Little Mia, who was sleepy, slowly crawled onto the back of the sofa waiting for Xia De to sit down.

"You should thank me."

Leisia said in a very bad mood:

"If I hadn't let you into the bedroom today, you would likely be intimate with Xia De, and suddenly you would have been called into the parliament. Even if you covered it up well, I don't believe those witches wouldn't see it."

Galina didn't care about her attitude at this time. After all, if it were her... and it was suddenly interrupted halfway, she would definitely have a bigger temper.

The golden eyes examined Leisia's attire and said to Xia De:

"Xia De, sit down and talk about things. It was Bella who notified the Speaker temporarily, and the Speaker called us all over for a meeting. By the time we had the meeting, 98 cases of 'spontaneous combustion by light' had occurred in the Moon Bay area in just three hours. Among them, 70 were in the urban area, and the rest were scattered in the countryside outside the city."

"Nearly a hundred cases?"

Xia De, who had just picked up the soft cat, asked suspiciously:

"Although this phenomenon has been appearing in Moon Bay, according to the previous frequency, there were at most a dozen times a night. Besides, citizens are now very conscious of pulling the curtains tight and not exposing themselves too much to the light. What's wrong?"

"Xivi is a Great Witch of light, and she perceives it most clearly. According to her, if the original abnormal light was 1, it suddenly became 5 tonight, and there is a trend of accelerating changes."

"Wait a minute."

Xia De, who had just sat down, stood up again, walked quickly to the window holding the cat, and pulled open the curtains. The summer night in Tobesk was shrouded in night fog, which was the phenomenon of the "City of Steam" proving its industrial power. Looking at the three moons that were shining frighteningly through the night fog, Xia De put his hand on the glass and felt it:

"The intensity of the moonlight on our side is also increasing."

"Now there are madmen running around everywhere in the fog of Moon Bay, and the whole city has been under martial law except for the dock area."

Galina was worried:

"In addition, a large group of dragon beasts flew in from the outer sea after 11 o'clock, and mermaids also tracked controlled fishmen mixed with dragon blood and other marine monsters approaching Moon Bay Port. No, don't worry, it's over. The Church organized an effective counterattack. Megan and Audrey went out to help fight, and Bella, Luvia, and Miss Eleise were on standby on the ship.

Now the battle is over, and Vanessa has also rushed from the Gothe Hotel to the ship. Nothing happened there. They felt there was no need to disturb you, so they told me after the matter was over."

Leisia asked with concern:

"So, the situation has further deteriorated?"

The red-haired witch nodded:

"In addition to the situation I just mentioned, there was an earthquake in the Moon Bay area, fortunately, the epicenter was not in the urban area. Also, 'Crazy Earth' appeared outside the city again. This time the scope is larger, and the fallen earth elemental giant spirit born from it is the cause of this earthquake.

The 'Edge of Life and Death' sealed in Moon Bay urban area a few days ago also showed signs of instability. Fortunately, the Church's sealing methods are quite good. The current influence is just a little bit of death white mist merging into the glowing white mist, making the fog tonight possibly have more vengeful spirits."

"It's even more serious than I thought."

Leisia said with pursed lips, but Galina was still adding:

"Bella said that just before they entered the parliament, they received news that a whole street in the dock area had briefly disappeared and been replaced by rice fields, but fortunately, it had been changed back by the Church's spatial stabilization device. Finally, some strange things rushed out of the 'Moon Flower Library,' the largest library in Moon Bay City, like story characters running out of books."

"Except for balance and darkness, everyone has arrived."

Xia De said, but changed his words:

"No, it's everyone except darkness. Balance was the first to be broken, or rather, balance has always been distorted."

"Leisia, you see, I didn't interrupt your 'good things' without reason. Although these things can be talked about at the breakfast table tomorrow morning, I feel it's better to let Xia De know as soon as possible."

The blonde girl nodded. She never cared about such issues:

"Dorothy and I just discussed it, and we changed our minds. We will handle our respective things tomorrow during the day, and we will go to Moon Bay tomorrow night, not waiting until the day after tomorrow, Saturday."

Galina tilted her head slightly and said:

"That's fine, but I became the last one to arrive. Sometimes I really feel that the status of a Duke is not convenient."

Leisia ignored her nonsense, picked up Little Mia in Xia De's arms and put her aside, and then enthusiastically hugged Xia De's neck:

"If there is nothing else, can we rest? Xia De, let's continue."

As she said that, she kissed Xia De, so the Duchess waved her hand to let the surrounding maids go to rest first, and then coughed:

"This is the living room, and I'm still here... The education of the Cavendish family for girls seems to be really wrong."

"This is home, and you are not an outsider."

Xia De admired that even in this state, Leisia could still find time to speak, so Galina, as an "elder," shook her head covering her forehead:

"Really impatient, let's go, go to the bedroom."

"Oh, it was agreed that tonight is me!"

"We are leaving tomorrow. This is our last chance to be at home together before the decisive battle. Leisia, don't you want to have fun tonight? I don't think Dorothy's body will be stronger than yours."

The Princess thought for a while:

"That's fine, let's go."

As she said that, she sat in Xia De's arms and said happily:

"Xia De, you come and hold me!"

"Why didn't anyone come to ask for my opinion?"

"Oh, my dear knight."

The red-haired lady who stood up said with a smile:

"Two girls from the Cavendish family invite you to spend the night together, do you actually want to refuse?"

They walked towards the bedroom together, and Little Mia jumped off the sofa and darted into the door crack before the door closed.

Xia De's hand accurately captured the cat and sent it to the temporary cat nest in the wardrobe. And when he closed the cupboard door and turned around again, in the beam of moonlight shining through the curtain crack that was too bright, red hair and blonde hair had already reached out to invite him.

In short, because of various reasons, when Xia De got up on Friday morning, it was already eight o'clock, a full hour and a half later than his usual normal wake-up time.

But at the breakfast table, at least Dorothy and Galina were in quite good spirits. The Duchess did not blame the maids who kept looking at Xia De strangely this morning, and even asked Xia De if he wanted to renovate No. 6 St. Deran Square after the Moon Bay matter was over.

"Why renovate?"

Xia De, who was eating a pie, asked, and touched the unhappy cat by his side.

"I don't know why, I just want to spend some money on you."

The Duchess said very directly, and Dorothy on the side coughed immediately, as if she was choked:

"I won't tell Leisia about this sentence."

Leisia and Dorothy agreed with Xia De that they would appear at the Dragon Nest in the north of Moon Bay one after another between 4:30 and 5:00 tomorrow afternoon. Although Xia De was going to attend the banquet at Margaret Manor tonight, he would go to pick them up no matter what, or at least let the witch go to pick them up.

When they sent Angelina to Moon Bay, they actually already knew the way. But now that the situation in Moon Bay is so complicated, Xia De is not at ease with them acting alone.

So after breakfast, Xia De took Little Mia to that rich port city again. Just as Galina said last night, even though he was still in the cave after leaving the Dragon Nest, he had already noticed the thin mist.

And when he left the cave and came to the small forest outside, the thick glowing white mist was already about the same as the thick fog of the city in Xia De's memory.

Rustling sounds suddenly came from not far away, so Xia De gave up the plan to turn Little Mia back into a cat, frowning and watching a glowing, crazy figure rushing towards him from the thick fog.

That was a humanoid creature, still wearing the clothes of villagers in the countryside. It's just that its whole body was covered with abscesses of various sizes, and those abscesses were brighter than the light on its skin, as if what was in the abscesses was not pus, but liquid light.

The abscesses made its body swell by a circle, and its movement speed was quite fast. After appearing from the fog, the light in the abscesses even made it pull out several bright light line afterimages behind it. Almost in the time of a breath, the monster had already approached Xia De.

And when the silver moonlight slashed by the "Night Watchman" in Xia De's hand crossed its body, besides leaving a bloodstain on the surface of its skin, it only made the abscesses on its body swell larger:

"So I hate this kind of monster that can absorb light energy."

Xia De took a few steps back:

"Corrupt Blood Mist!"

Opening his mouth to spit out scarlet blood mist, the monster rushing straight towards Xia De was immediately submerged by the blood mist. But Xia De was still retreating rapidly, because after the flesh and blood of the body were dissolved, the abnormal light contained in the monster immediately exploded like a steam bomb.

Xia De did not simply dodge and watch the light disperse, but swung his long sword to change his holding method, and threw the 【Night Watchman】 straight like throwing a javelin:

"Black Moon Mark!"

The silver long sword pierced into the center of the light group. As the huge mark was displayed in the light, the light was instantly annihilated, leaving only a small pile of glowing fine crystals on the ground:

"Sure enough, as Miss Belindell summarized in the 'Edge of Life and Death', 'End' type power can also completely annihilate strange light."

But the problem is that even high-ring Shushis find it difficult to master this kind of power, and it still cannot be used as a conventional means to deal with the problems in Moon Bay. ===== CHAPTER 2388 =====
