Chapter 2392: Siege, Ring, and Threat

~10 min read 1,979 words

Of course, at this time, besides the denser dragon scale marks on the sword body, there was also a fiery red mark on the position where it was cut off last time.

【Your physical talent is no weaker than any exotic creature.】

"She" said gently when Xia De entered the door, and then added:

【Even a giant dragon.】

"Thanks for the compliment."

Xia De showed a smile, "Strong Spatial Perception" sensed the terrain inside the building, and then jumped upward fiercely, crashing through two floors with a bang, bypassing the lower level that was being "cleaned up" by Mr. Albert, and came directly to the third floor.

Probably the defending crowd gathered downstairs, so Xia De didn't see too many people on the third floor at first sight. He looked at Thomas Pidgeon left on the first floor, pulled him up with a chain, and then his perception touched the defensive ritual on the higher level.

【No danger, continue forward.】

"So, this world is really too dangerous for ordinary people."

In the two minutes and forty-eight seconds since Xia De and Mr. Albert entered the door, the two stepped onto the spiral staircase leading to the tower room together. Mr. Albert still maintained the appearance of a blood-sucking species at this time, but there was not a single bloodstain on his clothes.

Xia De kicked open the tightly closed door, and the gray clouds symbolizing death immediately drifted out.

It didn't even take Xia De to do it. Mr. Albert turned his left hand, and a bright golden light ball floated out, actually dispelling those terrible clouds.

And in the room decorated like a private bedroom of a great noble, although Mr. Bernhardt looked a bit embarrassed, he had already controlled Carmen Eddington, who also showed the appearance of a blood-sucking species. The latter was pressed firmly on the ground, with his left leg broken. He looked at the two people at the door, filled with thick hatred:

"You stupid people!"

"Our great musician, it turns out he really is a blood-sucking species."

Xia De said, and Mr. Bernhardt shook his head gently:

"That's why I said, Moon Bay has already had many incredible things happen, and a few more are not surprising."

Carmen Eddington, who was pressed by him, suddenly exerted force, and actually broke free from Mr. Bernhardt's distraction. He immediately turned into a large group of bats and fled towards the window and the door. Again, Mr. Albert waved his hand, and four light swords formed a square to surround those bats, and the bats in the center of the four light swords were forced to change back to Carmen Eddington's appearance.

Even Xia De couldn't see the mystery of this move. He could only see that it combined the "spatial closure" effect of 【Moon Thorn】 and the "block special ability" effect of 【Chain of Sin】.

"When did you learn this move?"

Mr. Bernhardt raised his eyebrows. The coroner was about to speak, but suddenly turned his head to look out the window.

The semi-transparent giant dragon now appeared out of thin air, aiming its scorching dragon breath at the window.

The spewing flames lasted for at least two minutes before ending, and the building materials on the top of the tower presented a kind of molten crystalline state after the flames disappeared.

But then a black chain shot straight out from the ruins of the tower top. The chain bound the dragon's neck, and then amidst the dragon's wailing, a thunder spear pierced straight through the dragon whose scales were almost transparent.

Xia De jumped out of the ruins of the tower top, relied on the pulling force of the chain to come to the dragon's head, and pierced its neck with one sword.

Blood mist gushed out, the dragon screamed and fell downward, and Mr. Albert, who also flew out of the ruins of the tower top as blood mist, neatly slashed off its head with a sword before the dragon landed.

Boom~ with a muffled sound, representing the clean and neat end of the battle.

"You are all so powerful, it will make me look useless."

Mr. Bernhardt muttered to himself when he looked down from the edge of the tower top, and then saw Xia De turn into a red butterfly and fly up again with the blood mist.

"This should be a special dragon beast prepared by the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 using alchemy. It looks like it has added the blood of 'Invisible Moth'."

Xia De said:

"The relic is still in effect. It should have been hidden in this castle from the beginning, and suddenly attacked just now when we relaxed. Fortunately, this thing's ability to hide is good, but its strength is too weak."

"【Dragon Feast Cult】 was willing to arrange a precious dragon beast for them, which is already very good."

Mr. Bernhardt said, looking at the two "fellow clansmen" lying under his feet:

"Although I said I wasn't surprised, the local fellow clansmen actually dared to invade the bloodline of the Seven Great Families, which is really unexpected... Mr. Watson, leave the rest to us. Don't you two have an appointment tomorrow to find some cards? Then let's meet at the old place tomorrow morning, and I will give you the interrogation results then."

The coroner also nodded:

"This matter is finally going to have a result."

Xia De didn't think about participating in the interrogation either. He listened to the sound:

"It's 7:24, it's too late, then I'll go back to attend the banquet. Someone is waiting for me to dance together at the banquet."

Both blood-sucking species laughed, and after Xia De finished speaking, he bent down and pulled a ring from Carmen Eddington's hand:

"This... if I see Earl Eddington in a while, I want to use this to see his reaction."

The blood-sucking Viscount nodded:

"See you tomorrow morning then, sorry to trouble you tonight."

"Don't be so polite, you two, see you tomorrow morning, be careful on the way back."

Xia De waved his hand and jumped straight down from the gap in the tower top melted by the dragon breath. During the fall, he threw the crystal shoes and returned to Tobesk immediately.

And Mr. Bernhardt, who was still standing on the tower top, after confirming that Xia De had left, his dehydrated face gradually became plump and restored to the appearance of a normal person. Only then did he ask his friend, who also restored to the appearance of a normal human, inquisitively:

"Speaking of which, when did you become so powerful?"

Ptolemy Albert was speechless. Fortunately, a blood light suddenly lit up in the distance, and both of them frowned:

"This signal is news sent by fellow clansmen outside. It seems to be an enemy attack. It seems that the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 still values them very much."

Mr. Bernhardt asked directly:

"Mr. Watson left temporarily. If there is a high-ring Shushi, are you still okay?"

The coroner stood in the gap of the high tower facing the wind, and the three moons above the thin fog illuminated his frowning brows. The human form that had just been restored was alienated into the body of a blood-sucking species again. His claws collided in front of him, sparks flying, and his eyes narrowed:

"Don't bother Mr. Watson with everything. After all, this is our own business. I think as long as the thirteenth ring doesn't appear, I'm fine."

"That's good, let's go, there are still many things to do tonight."

The two turned into blood mist and rolled up the two people who were unconscious on the tower top, and after the relic effect was withdrawn, they flew straight towards the red light in the distance.

(Little Mia is running...)

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

In the magnificent banquet hall of Belindell Manor, Xia De, wearing formal attire and holding a glass of champagne, hurried to the side of Miss Belindell, who was chatting with the Marchioness of Ankara.

The Countess, wearing a golden evening dress that matched her hair color, looked at Xia De's hurried appearance and couldn't help covering her mouth with her right hand wearing white lace gloves and laughing:

"Look at you, did you go to kill someone again?"

The surrounding noble ladies and noble young ladies all laughed, and Xia De was startled, then sniffed his sleeve:

"I clearly remember taking a bath."

So the laughter around was even more obvious, but many people blushed.

Although Xia De missed the opening part of the banquet, at least when he arrived, the banquet could be considered to have just started not long ago.

Seeing that Xia De returned safely, the Countess knew that the matter outside the city went very smoothly.

So she and her "cousin" continued to talk to local nobles and celebrities for a few words, and when Earl Eddington walked over and wanted to say a few words to her, the old Earl first politely nodded to Xia De, and then was stunned, looking at the ring on Xia De's hand in surprise:

"You... where did you get this?"

"Earl Eddington, please be polite to my cousin."

Bella Belindell said unhappily, turning sideways to block in front of Xia De, but Xia De took the initiative to take a step forward and took off the ring:

"This? I went for a walk outside the city this afternoon and picked it up in the farmland. It's really a coincidence, there is actually the family crest of the Eddington family on it. Earl, is this something from your family?"

The elderly Earl Eddington's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to take the ring, but immediately withdrew his hand.

The Countess, who wore a ruby forehead ornament to cover the cinnabar-red birthmark, smiled and lowered her voice:

"Earl Eddington, counting it up, you are still my elder. You should know that connecting those so-called Ringed Shushis is a small mistake, but letting your own offspring become... that kind of thing, is not a small problem."

The white-haired old Earl poured all the wine in his glass into his mouth, didn't look at Xia De, and looked directly at Miss Belindell, his expression quite complicated:

"Belindell, are you threatening me?"

"Earl Eddington, my father once said that whenever you ask a question in this sentence pattern, it often means you are trying to cover up your panic with your own strength."

Her smile was even brighter, so the corner of Earl Eddington's mouth twitched;

"I... there are things you don't know in here... no matter what Carmen's situation is now, he is no longer an Eddington."

He finally took one last look at the ring in Xia De's hand, without wanting to take it away:

"Countess Belindell, let's talk at the City Council tomorrow. Everyone's home has topics they don't want to talk about. I... I don't want things to go this far either."

"So heartless to abandon your son? That's right, your family's offspring are not few."

Although she said so, she still agreed to the condition of meeting tomorrow. Earl Eddington nodded stiffly to Xia De again, and then turned and left. The Countess was quite satisfied with this result and said to Xia De with a smile:

"Do you guess if I have a chance to ask for the whereabouts of the last dragon scale tomorrow?"

"I feel that you are more likely to hear a vulgar family story. Family affection, rebellion, resistance, adventure, that's probably it."

The blonde Countess was amused by Xia De and took Xia De's hand again:

"They didn't come tonight, only I and Princess Margaret are here. You have to dance a few dances with me in a while. I heard from them that you are very good at dancing." ===== CHAPTER 2393 =====
