Chapter 2390: [Moon in the Water]

The restaurant on the ship was not modified and was still used as a restaurant. After everyone sat down, Iruna gave the small leather suitcase in her hand to Xia De:

"For you."

"What?"

After opening it and seeing the bright red stone embedded in it, Xia De raised his eyebrows:

"Another Philosopher's Stone?"

Counting the one left by Edwards and fused with the Church's gift, and the one obtained from one of the three gifts from Coldwater Port, this was already the third Philosopher's Stone in Xia De's hands.

"So generous? What does the Church want Xia De to do?"

Vanessa reacted quickly. This beautiful blonde opera singer now had time and would stay here from now on.

"Just a small gift for the 'God Summoner', hoping he can take action at the right time."

Iruna shook her head slightly:

"The Church has no way to contact Xia De directly, so they can only let me, who has had contact with the 'God Summoner', try. This situation is very special. In the case where the True Gods cannot descend, the only possibility of a non-Evil God descending in the material world is Xia De. The Church hopes that I can bring back the direct reply of the 'God Summoner'."

"I think I have no problem."

Xia De nodded.

"There are other rewards after the Battle of Moon Bay. This is just a deposit. I can ask for some good things for you then."

The eighteen-year-old girl said with a smile, and Luvia asked:

"Is the Church ready to deal with the god's descent?"

"Yes, the True Gods have given an oracle, and this time more than one 'Unknowable Level Relic' can be used."

These highest-level dangerous relics are the only way for mortals to possibly restrict gods. But even Unknowable Level relics can only slightly restrict gods in some aspects. This restriction is not strong, but in Xia De's view, having it is better than not having it.

"I won't go into detail about those Unknowable Level relics. I couldn't stand it even after hearing that information. But Xia De, you should still remember the 0-level relic 【Diesel's Sword】, right?"

Iruna asked again, and Megan asked first:

"Are you talking about the one that can briefly restrict the god-descended saint to a certain area and not let them leave?"

Xia De also recalled:

"Of course I remember. On the night of the god's descent in Tobesk last summer, it was because of this relic that the 【Lord of Blood Feast】 stayed in the house of the god's descent for a short time, allowing me to rush over."

"That broken sword has also been sent, packed in the Holy Ark. The diviners of the Association of Diviners believe that the location of the god's descent ritual is likely the 【Dragon Feast Altar】, which coincides with Luvia's divination. So once the god's descent begins, that relic will be used to restrict the god from leaving the altar for a short time, facilitating the transfer of the city."

"Can't Moon Bay be evacuated in advance?"

Xia De asked, and then he knew it was a stupid question:

"Moon Bay is really too big, the population here is in the millions, tens of millions."

"Yes, and there is not enough time. Evil cultists will definitely take the opportunity to create chaos during the evacuation, and the situation will be more complicated then."

Iruna agreed, but Vanessa had questions:

"But the problem is, can the Church be sure that the god who devours giant dragons will appear in the form of a saint this time?"

"That I don't know."

Iruna shook her head:

"Of course, more importantly, there is another thing. You all know the Unknowable Level relic 【Moon in the Water】, right? The flawless moonstone Xia De got some time ago is a derivative of this relic. In areas where 【Moon in the Water】 appears, the moon will appear in all water bodies at night, and this relic can actually directly turn day into night."

This is something the witches didn't know, and it was the first time Xia De heard it:

"Isn't it said that this relic has long been missing?"

"Actually, it was secretly collected by the 【Zaras Academy of Arts】. Everyone has their own secrets, which is understandable. The relic itself is actually a basin of water, and there is a reflection of the moon in the water at any time. But to activate the day-night conversion characteristic of this relic, a high-ring Shushi with the power of the 'moon' is needed to call the moonlight."

Iruna said to Xia De:

"Besides you, who else can you think of?"

"Miss Danister, oh, I don't know if her matter has been handled yet."

"The news given by St. Byrons is that the 'Red Moon Witch' Danister will definitely be able to arrive before the final decisive battle. But the last time the day-night conversion characteristic of this relic was activated was in the early Sixth Era, and no one knows what will happen, so for the sake of insurance, the Church hopes you can also help.

The light at night is weaker than during the day, and the Church hopes not to have a divine war under the sun."

"Can this relic be collected again after its characteristics are activated?"

Megan asked again:

"Once an Unknowable Level relic gets out of control, in my opinion, it's no different from a god's descent."

Iruna shrugged:

"Let's deal with the god's descent first."

"I have no problem, and I really want to see that relic."

Xia De suspected that the relic was also one of the fragments of the "Original Moon." The huge moon suspended in the 【Silver Moon Library】 was just one of the remains, and it was probably the largest one. And Xia De had been looking forward to entering the library again to see the Ancient God of the Silver Moon by touching that piece of remains "with a probability."

Now there is no chance to enter the library for the time being, but it is still necessary to see that Unknowable Level relic.

"That's good, I'll take the news back. The best location for 【Moon in the Water】 is at a high place, and it is finally set on the Belindell Big Ben. Wait for my news then."

Iruna came and left quickly, but she said tomorrow is Saturday, and to prevent problems early Sunday morning, she planned to stay overnight on the ship tomorrow night.

As for the reason for leaving the church, it was easy to find. She just said she went out to investigate with Sister Devlin. The request made by two Chosen Ones together, the Church obviously wouldn't doubt it.

After Iruna left, Xia De stayed on the ship for a while, then threw the crystal shoes to go home, and picked up Dorothy and Leisia to Belindell Manor one after another. Dorothy, who arrived first, went to the ship, wearing a summer dress and a beige hat, looking like a traveling Leisia stayed at Belindell Manor.

Angelina, who knew her sister was coming, waited at the entrance hall in advance. Seeing Leisia and Xia De appear, she immediately trotted over and hugged Leisia, and when she was asked by Leisia with a smile "Angelina, how have you been lately," the little Princess felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

After all, she had spent a lot of time recently reading novels with Emilia, brushing the little unicorn, and exploring on the "Radiant Messenger," and the time she actually did serious things was not much.

Leisia knew her sister very well and saw her thoughts at once. She glanced at Xia De who was carrying her suitcase, signaled him not to speak, and then said to Angelina:

"When the matter here is busy, tell me properly what you have done in Moon Bay this summer."

She took off her hat and handed it to the maid on the side, and her soft red hair looked even brighter under the light of the manor's entrance hall. It's just that the smile on the Princess's face was not "bright" at all, she stared at her sister:

"I suddenly had inspiration recently, and I have already thought of a way to punish you."

Angelina tried to cast a look of help towards Xia De with her head down, but was immediately discovered by Leisia:

"Do you still remember the books you confiscated?"

Angelina certainly wouldn't forget.

"Before you left Tobesk, I asked you some questions. When we return home, if your answer cannot satisfy me. Angelina, I will hold a reading club."

She smiled, her eyes still staring at her sister:

"How about at Xia De's house? In the second room on the second floor. Close the door, pull the curtains tight, put a few comfortable chairs in the living room, and put wooden candle holders between the chairs for lighting. You wear underwear, stand in front and read your 'extracurricular books.' I, Dorothy, Xia De, Galina drink tea and eat snacks, listening to you 'recite' those articles. Oh, maybe invite Luvia, Helen and Grace too."

Angelina just imagined the scene, and her face was already flushed red. Although she and Xia De both knew that Leisia was definitely joking, the little Princess also roughly understood that her sister might really be a little angry this time.

"Leisia!"

Xia De said immediately, but the Princess shook her hair:

"Knight, you don't have to be a good person, I have a sense of proportion."

As she said that, she strode towards the stairs, but stopped after taking the first step:

"Of course, if you can answer my questions well, Angelina, I won't be stingy about giving you some rewards you have always wanted."

As she said that, she continued to walk upstairs, leaving the little Princess turning to look at them, and then looking down at her hands.

(Little Mia is running...)

Night, 6:50.

The thick fog in Moon Bay City had gradually spread to the Black Forest area far away from the city, and the forest at the foot of Raven Mountain was also hazy.

The bell rang, followed by the sound of rhythmic horse hoofs stepping on the small forest path coming from afar. The convoy carrying fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat slowly moved forward on the small path in the forest. Each carriage was hung with carriage lamps, and the guards following the convoy also carried firearms. After all, the forest at night is not a safe place.

The small road extended upwards, and at the end was the Helmington Castle on the mountain with an excessively high level of armament. Before reaching the castle, people walked out of the forest one after another to inspect the convoy, focusing on whether there were people in those large baskets and whether there were things hidden under the carriages.

After confirming that there was no problem in front of the trench outside the castle, the patrolling guards blew the whistle hanging around their necks. After the sharp sound startled a large group of crows, with the sound of creaking~, the wooden bridge blocking the castle gate was slowly lowered as the hook locks were released. ===== CHAPTER 2391 =====

Only after confirming there were no issues before the trench outside the castle perimeter did the patrolling guard blow the whistle hanging around his neck. After the shrill sound startled a large flock of crows into flight, the wooden bridge blocking the castle gate was slowly lowered as the hooks were released, accompanied by a creaking sound.
