Chapter 2413: Light
"Has the deep-sea evil thing—the Player of Seven Tails appeared?"
"Not yet, but storms and tsunamis have always been the precursors to that thing's appearance."
Listening to Luweiya's explanation, Xia De took out the "copper whistle," one of the three gifts he obtained in Coldwater Port, from his pocket. The function of this alchemical item was to contact distant companions, so it should be used to call the believers of the three evil gods of Coldwater Port for support.
He put the whistle in his mouth and blew it, so the sharp whistle sounded from the deck, but Xia De waited for a while, and nothing happened.
"Maybe the support you called has joined the battlefield directly."
Luweiya reminded him from the side. Xia De looked at the whistle and suddenly felt that he might have guessed its purpose wrong:
"Let's not worry about this for now, I brought back the dragon scales, two dragon scales."
Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia went to the sea battlefield, the Twelfth-Tier Megan and the Audrey sisters were watching the situation in the city, and the Twelfth-Tier Vanessa was guarding Belindell Manor. Therefore, when Xia De took out the dragon scales on the ship, besides Luweiya, only Galina, Miss Belindell, and Miss Ilith were by his side.
Of course, the elf girl who looked a bit nervous was also there, and the little unicorn was carrying the flowerpot with the 【Flute of Time】 stuck in it.
Xia De briefly introduced the origins of the last two dragon scales. When they heard the name "Miss Pawo," the expressions of the ladies other than the elf girl were different.
But now was not the time to discuss the 【Truth Society】. The seven dragon scales were placed on the table together. Even before they were arranged in the most suitable position, the seven-colored light had already resonated.
That humming sound was like a dragon roar, and the powerful miraculous elements completely exceeded the concentration of the highest-concentration holy water Xia De had ever come into contact with.
If one really had to describe it, the power resonated by these seven dragon scales at this moment was already purer and more powerful than the 【Dragon Altar】.
Xia De looked at the Countess, and the latter raised her hand. Seven colors—white, green, black, gold, silver, copper-red, and brass—floated above the table. The huge light curtain formed by the seven colors had just taken shape when a strong wind actually blew in the closed room.
*Ooom—*
The little unicorn immediately called out, blocking in front of Emilia, looking a bit panicked, while the elf girl stared wide-eyed at this scene, watching the ancient dragon language completely manifest on that light curtain.
"Is this... the words left by the initial god?"
Thinking this in her heart, the voice in her ear reminded her softly:
【Emilia, you have felt "Miracle," you have gained insight into "Time."】
"Oh... what?"
Xia De stood up at once, looking at the light curtain with a serious face:
"It is indeed a trial! A trial of forging a sword! The correct order is:
Defeat the Keeper-level 【Star Sword Stone】 to obtain the rough embryo of the long sword; use the rough embryo to defeat yourself in the Document-level 【Mirror of Mafala】; use the rough embryo to defeat the dragon-man fused by the Angel-level relic 【Ancient Dragon-Transforming Stone】; use the rough embryo to defeat the Document-level 【Ointment Slug】; defeat the Sage-level 【Apron of the Nameless Sword-Smith】 summoned by the sword-smith, and finally forge the long sword."
He didn't stop:
"Afterward, fuse the seven dragon scales into yourself with light to grant yourself dragon-born blood. But at this time, the long sword is not yet the Sword of Light. The final step: face the strong, aim to protect others, and pull out the long sword with a heart of justice. Thus, the 【Sword of Light】 is permanently obtained."
"But the last step, isn't that what Emilia has done before?"
The red-haired Duchess asked.
"So no matter what, if you want to pull out the artifact left by the Ancient God, the most critical step is this one."
Luweiya said, and also glanced at Emilia. The elf girl with pointed ears looked very honored.
"There is more information, mainly introducing the characteristics of that sword. Similar to 【Night Watcher】 and other extremely sturdy and extremely sharp effects, I won't mention them; you can imagine them yourselves. The greatest use of this sword for us is its special attack effect against dragons, evil, huge-sized creatures, and flying creatures."
Xia De said again, and finally added:
"This is an artifact of the Ancient God, and it should also be effective against gods. And although the Ancient Gods have left, they always made full preparations before leaving. I highly suspect that this sword will have an even more special attack effect against the 【Dragon-Devouring Demon】. The Ancient God 【Radiant Dragon】 could not have failed to leave a method to restrain its own 'Nameless Eldest Son'."
Miss Ilith then asked:
"The seven dragon scales are in our hands. Those relics, now we are still missing the apron in the church's hands and the half piece of stone in the cultists' hands. The apron in the church's hands is easy to talk about, what about the 【Hafana Dragon-Body Stone】?"
"I'm afraid the 【Dragon-Feast Sect】 will find a way to send it to the Chosen One."
The blonde Countess frowned:
"They gave the dragon scales, so they might have known what would be inside themselves.
Because of the special function of that sword, the appearance of the Chosen One of Light will become an important factor affecting the outcome of the God War. They are luring the Chosen One to the Dragon-Feast Ritual Site, and the 【Hafana Dragon-Body Stone】 is probably waiting for the Chosen One in the ritual site."
"It's impossible for the Chosen One not to go. Emilia~"
Xia De said suddenly, and the elf girl with pointed ears raised her hand immediately:
"I'm here!"
"You stay with Angelina today and be responsible for taking care of Little Mia. Unless I come to find you myself, don't leave the manor or this ship."
Determining that Mr. Ptolemy Albert was the first candidate, and being satisfied with this gentleman, there was no need for Emilia, who was lower in the ranking, to take risks.
"Oh~"
There was still some disappointment in her tone, but she would not truly go and take risks; after all, Xia De had said that "becoming a hero requires opportunity" and "one must not play the hero":
"Little Liana and I will take good care of Angelina and Little Mia!"
She put the First-Tier little princess on the same level as that cat.
"Luweiya, what are Dorothy and Leixia doing now?"
Xia De asked again, and the purple-eyed girl said:
"Miss Sylvia is out for the time being, so they are responsible for maintaining the portals and the anti-portal devices inside and outside the manor and the ship."
"Let them be prepared... Haven't the nun and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na returned?"
"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na hasn't returned after going to the church. The nun came back once and let us tell you that Yin Yi Yi Lu Na said 【Moon in Water】 is ready, and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na went directly to the ritual site to wait for you.
As for the nun, she said the souls of the dead in the mist have not left, and she suspects this is related to that edge of life and death, so she took a few nuns to investigate, but will be back soon."
Xia De nodded and listened to the sound again to confirm the time:
"【Star Sword Stone】 needs to be struck by thunder under the night sky to take effect. It's daytime now and there is mist, so this relic definitely won't work. Since 【Moon in Water】 is ready, I'll go to the Belindell Big Ben now.
I won't take the dragon scales, I'll only take the 【Star Sword Stone】 among the relics used for the ritual. Once you observe the arrival of night, I think..."
The violent shaking of the ship interrupted Xia De's words. Miss Ilith bent down and placed her hands on the cabin floor to stabilize the ship again.
The curtains opened automatically, allowing Xia De and the ladies to see the thick mist and the storm outside. It wasn't just a rainstorm, but a mixture of snow, rain, and ice particles.
"I have a very bad feeling, that thing is coming."
The blue-eyed ship girl reminded him; one of the reasons for her birth was that the evil thing tried to swallow the Radiant Messenger of that year.
"If you..."
"No, I will participate in the battle. Once the evil thing descends, I will join the battle immediately. I had no power back then and couldn't do anything. But it's different now, Xia De, I'm no longer the girl who didn't even know who she was."
She said, pursing her lips, and Xia De nodded without saying much:
"I'll go to Belindell Big Ben now, it's very close from the manor."
He stood up, and the others also stood up to see him off. The Countess, who was walking at the end, looked at Luweiya with great worry. The purple-eyed girl was also very worried; she hadn't forgotten about "Death":
"It's okay."
She said with her mouth to Bella Belindell, who was also a diviner, but she herself quietly took out a very ordinary coin and flipped it casually.
They walked at the end, so only the two of them looked at the coin. After the coin landed, it spun a few times and then stood upright on the cabin floor, which was still shaking slightly.
The diviners looked at each other, and Miss Belindell suddenly pressed her right shoulder:
"I know I shouldn't say this, but I feel like Xia De is really going to take a walk in death this time."
"If Xia De really dares to do such an irresponsible thing, when they pull him back, I will definitely slap Xia De."
Luweiya walked forward without looking back, but even the Countess who had only known her for a short time could hear the strong unease in her words.
Both of them were diviners, and they both had answers in their hearts.
After leaving Belindell Manor with 【Night Watcher】, Xia De went directly to Belindell Big Ben.
The city was already in chaos, but under the cover of the thick mist, all people heard were the strange explosions and roars that kept coming. Since learning the specific time of the God-Descending ritual, the church had begun to evacuate local citizens. But as Xia De and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had discussed, it was impossible to completely evacuate the entire population of a city of this scale in half a week.
People were either hiding at home or trying to leave the city in the chaos. But the war between supernatural beings and supernatural beings had already begun; what they needed was not choice, but luck.
On the way to the clock tower, Xia De also encountered monsters blocking the way, but under the scarlet poisonous mist, those monsters all dissolved into light.
And when Xia De arrived at the top of the clock tower, he unexpectedly found that when he and the church agreed that if he needed to use 【Moon in Water】, there could be no one else near the relic.
But the church didn't fully comply with the rules, because when the red butterflies flew to the terrace on the top of the highest building in Moon Bay, besides Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, the Thirteenth-Tier Shushi "Red Moon Witch" Miss Dannister was also there. **CHAPTER 2414**
