Chapter 2895
After breakfast, everyone went to be busy with their own things. Xia De asked Miss Bell to pass the news to the church first, and after confirming that everyone in the Dragon Feast Ritual Field above Moon Bay had been cleared for the time being, Miss Yi Lai Se temporarily drove the "Radiant Messenger" away from Lake Yulun and arrived at Moon Bay.
Thus, after visiting the owl who was still sleeping at 9:30 in the morning, the flying carpet carried Xia De and Bella, flew toward the sky above the City of Wealth against the sunlight, and finally landed on the edge of that "Dragon Feast Ritual Field."
Coming here again after two months, the Countess still had many feelings about this. Xia De came here this time for the heart of the dragon; last night in death, the dragon-beast heart that Kindle handed to Xia De was now being held in Xia De's hand in an ice box. In the Battle of Moon Bay, Xia De obtained the miracle—【Dragon Feast】 by devouring a drop of divinity of the evil god—【Dragon-Devouring Demon】, which was also the nameless eldest son of the ancient god.
This miracle could allow Xia De to obtain corresponding breath and dragon traits, and even the skills engraved in the soul, by devouring the dragon's heart. It's just that like 【Blood Wine Brewing】, Xia De would not use such an ability to "eat people." As long as it was a creature with high wisdom like a human, even if it looked very different from a human, Xia De would not regard it as food.
However, this time was clearly different; since Kindle gave that heart to Xia De, Xia De regarded it as a gift and gratitude. The only problem that needed to be considered now was what effect the heart of a dragon-beast with impure blood would have under the effect of the miracle 【Dragon Feast】.
Originally, Bella said she could carry Xia De and fly up directly, or Xia De could turn into a cat, but it was strongly opposed by Xia De.
"Didn't Flora say she was teaching you partial transformation? I thought that with your talent, you would learn it soon."
The two walked from the edge of the ritual field toward the inside, stepping on the gray-white ground. Bella said with a smile beside Xia De with her hands behind her back, and Xia De shook his head:
"Flora did give me a very thick notebook, and she occasionally talks to me about this topic. But later, Miss Danister told me that after I am promoted to the ninth ring, she will teach me the flying ability directly, without needing to learn any strange transformation of growing wings."
The blonde Countess smiled, guessing in her heart the "rivalry" between Flora and that Miss Librarian from Saint Byron:
"But at least Flora's partial transformation is still very useful to herself; recently, when I was divining with Luweiya, she often said that you like the cat ears Flora transforms."
"Meow?"
Little Mia on his shoulder shook her ears; the position here was extremely high, and even the sunlight in the morning of early winter was extremely dazzling; Little Mia liked the environment here very much.
Bella arrived at Vista Forest on Monday and asked Xia De to go out for a walk and chat, but Xia De helped the doctor on Monday night and fought a demon manipulated by "Paradox Worms," and it was already very late when he went back, so that night walk didn't happen.
This time there was a new opportunity, and they were not in a hurry to go back, so Xia De walked around the ritual field with Bella. The ritual field was very large, and it would take a long time to walk from the edge to the center.
Bella told Xia De about the changes in Moon Bay City in the two months since the end of summer, talked about the upcoming completion of the Moon Bay Bridge, and also talked about how after the Belindel family completely controlled the City Council, the small number of members in the family who originally opposed her all became her supporters.
"Is there still anyone in the Belindel family who opposes you?"
"Even if I am so beautiful, not everyone likes me."
The Countess said with a smile; there was no one else here except her, and she spoke very relaxedly:
"When the Moon Bay Bridge holds the completion ceremony, you accompany me to participate."
"Of course no problem, but won't the corruption problem during the bridge construction be investigated?"
Bella Belindel then winked at Xia De:
"Do you think that list should be made public?"
Xia De then also laughed.
The Countess still remembered that the legal principle of ruling Moon Bay actually belonged to Xia De, so she told Xia De about the things that happened in the city under her feet this autumn like reporting work. However, Xia De really didn't want to hear these topics, so he changed the topic in time, and the specific performance was talking about his own troubles:
"At the end of the Battle of Vista Forest, what choice will I face?"
"Divination is not omnipotent; Luweiya has also discussed this matter with me."
The beautiful Countess held Xia De's hand:
"Although we can't see the future of that small town in the forest clearly, at least we can determine one thing. Xia De, you can always solve those seemingly unsolvable problems. We all know that you can definitely do it."
After the Battle of Moon Bay, the 【Dragon Feast Ritual Field】 did not have a definite ownership, but all the forces that participated in that big battle at that time—except for the 【Dragon Feast Cult】 and the 【Light-Chaser Club】—obtained the right to use it.
The church was responsible for the maintenance and research here, so the traces of that big battle had now been cleaned up. After crossing the archway built by giant stone pillars and entering the core area of the ritual field, one could see gray giant dragon statues placed randomly and irregularly, and what Xia De needed was to find a statue at random to hold the "Dragon Feast Ritual."
"Are you going to light a fire to roast the heart?"
Bella joked, and Xia De shook his head immediately:
"It's not really letting me eat it; this is just symbolic."
He melted the thick ice wrapping the heart, looked left and right, and chose a dragon statue that was lying down with its neck stretched out. Although these stone carvings had no color, judging from the shape and body shape of the dragon head, this should be a bronze dragon.
The heart was placed in front of the statue, and then Xia De temporarily handed Little Mia to the Countess, which made that cat somewhat dissatisfied, but it just called a few times.
Then Xia De summoned his Fate Ring, and the blasphemy—【Dragon】 emitted a dazzling silver spiritual light. Although he had never actively used this kind of power, Xia De knew how he should do it.
He took a deep breath and raised his arms high; as the silver blasphemous spiritual light shone on the heart and the stone statue in front of him, blood-red light streams immediately rose from the surface of the black heart.
"Miracle-Dragon Feast!"
Those light streams floated toward him with the movement of Xia De swinging his arms, and the blasphemy 【Gluttony】 also flickered with micro-light at the same time, the silver phantom of the human-sized Moonlight Dragon appeared behind Xia De and opened its mouth to swallow those red light streams.
Bella noticed that during this process, the eyes of that bronze dragon stone statue seemed to light up, and after the heart completely turned into blood flow and was swallowed by the phantom behind Xia De, she held the cat with a stinky face and smiled again:
"Your movements just now were really funny."
"After all, this is the divine art of evil cultists; who among decent people would obtain power by devouring the heart of a wise creature?"
Xia De answered like this, controlling the Fate Ring to hide in the steam mist again, as for the harvest—
【Outsider, you devoured the heart of the mutated black dragon, Dragon Feast in progress, please wait...】
【Outsider, you mastered the miracle-Giant Dragon Breath. In any form, you can output energy through the way of breath. Corresponding to the 【Dragon】 spirit rune.】
【Miracle-Giant Dragon Breath, currently corresponding breath types:
Holy Moonlight (Source: Moonlight Dragon, Spell-Moon Fire);
Decay Mist (Source: Mutated Black Dragon);
Corrupt Blood Mist (Source: Miracle-Corrupt Blood Mist).
By devouring more powerful giant dragons or obtaining breath-type spell methods, Miracle-Giant Dragon Breath can obtain more enhancements.】
【Outsider, you obtained the spell-Flight Technique. You mastered the ability to fly; this spell originates from the power of wind mastered by the mutated black dragon.】
Thus, Xia De floated into the air in front of Bella; Bella raised her head and watched Xia De float in the air for a while, and only said after he landed again:
"The speed won't just be like this, right?"
"It can be a little faster, but it won't be faster than the peak flight speed of my incarnation Red Butterfly."
After all, with Xia De's mastery of the power of Red Butterfly, he could even turn into a red light stream and fly for a short time now. And the flying ability from that dragon-beast was really just ordinary flight.
This spell just gave Xia De the characteristic of being able to float in human form; if he really wanted to use the power of flight to hurry, it seemed better to turn into a Red Butterfly.
However, this power was obtained for nothing after all, so Xia De would not dislike it.
And considering that just one heart allowed him to obtain a brand-new spell and a brand-new miracle, obtaining power by "devouring" was so simple and easy, and even Xia De had thought about whether he should find some evil dragons to use this ability again in the future, but then he denied his own idea:
"Unless it's a gift, even if it's an evil dragon killed by my own hands, I won't eat the other party's heart."
After confirming this point, his mood became much better; the outsider regarded this as his own moral cleanliness, and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
The time agreed with Miss Yi Lai Se to pick them up was lunchtime, so after Xia De carried Bella and flew down from the arena, he went to meet Matilda who returned to the Belindel Manor in advance, and then dealt with the Countess's official business together.
The things that happened on the morning of this Thursday were unremarkable; perhaps fate was also compensating for this city that had actually been destroyed once in the summer. Now the disaster of time that spanned the entire material world did not cause much waves in this city.
When Xia De and Bella appeared beside the lunch table, Miss Jia Lin Na observed the two very carefully, and then made a disappointed action.
"What do you mean by this?"
Bella asked curiously, and Xi Wei, who was sitting beside her holding a fork, said:
"Just now we were still talking about whether Xia De would have lipstick marks on his face or neck when he came back."
Thus, everyone laughed.
