Chapter 676

After finishing the idle talk, they officially began to discuss the topic of the Chosen One, which was also the main purpose of Miss Aurora coming to the local area:

"Currently, no target has been locked. Except for the poem fragments Miss Jia Lin Na got from Tobesk, the Council only knows that the ritual of the Chosen One of Death is importantly related to the Boundary and those three passages. So finding or even mastering a passage is also very useful for us to find the Chosen One."

"I heard from Miss Miss Jia Lin Na that the Truth Society has already entered Midhillburg? This time, will it attract a large group of foreign Ringed Shushi like in Coldwater Port?"

Xia De asked Miss Aurora, who shook her head:

"This time the church blocked the news very well, coupled with the cover of the matter of the Boundary of Death, currently very few organizations know the news that the third Chosen One will appear in this city. However, they have relaxed their vigilance because of this. Those lunatics of the Truth Society, I don't know what they will do."

The characteristic of the "Truth Society" is to conduct illegal and taboo knowledge research, pursuing "truth" to obtain more powerful knowledge. Similar lunatics exist in every era, so the "Truth Society" is also a solid organization that has inherited at least two eras. Two months ago, the guy Xia De and Priest Augustus encountered in the Tobesk cemetery who attempted to use his body to fuse with relics was a member of the Truth Society, and people from the Truth Society also appeared in the Dark Domain, but they were defeated because they mistakenly provoked the Diviner Association before they had time to enter the Milwood Forest in the core area.

"Then the enemy this time is only the Truth Society? Does the other party have thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi? How many people are there?"

"This is not critical."

Grandma Cassandra shook her head:

"The three major Sorcerer Academies have also sent people to the local area on the grounds of 'helping the church hold the ritual to seal the Boundary.' And although the Truth Society has many lunatics, its power is not as great as the Blood Spirit School you once encountered. The contemporary leader of the Truth Society is a twelve-ring sorcerer. They are only notorious because they are good at using the power of relics."

"Does the academy know who the Chosen One is now?"

"Should not know yet, at least the Speaker thinks so."

Miss Aurora said, and glanced at the bonfire outside the window, suddenly inviting:

"Xia De, the atmosphere tonight is really nice. Shall we go dancing together later?"

"Um? What? Oh, okay."

Xia De was not very clear about how the topic jumped here.

"Also, the vampires in this city seem to be planning something."

Xia De took out the Blood Brew he bought just now, but the witches did not care about this matter as much as Xia De. Grandma Cassandra had lived in this city for many years, and it was not the first day that vampires sold contraband Blood Brew, so this matter was not important.

The witches still had business to talk about, so Xia De did not stay with them for too long. Leaving the lounge, calculating that it was almost time for the auction, because he was thinking about that special rule card, Xia De thought about going to join the fun.

But looking out at the courtyard from the corridor, intending to breathe some fresh air and wait for the auction to start, he actually saw Iluna.

Although she only arrived this afternoon, the steam airship trip was not tiring, so it was indeed possible for her to appear at this night banquet. But she did not stop, but walked toward the periphery of the bonfire light, toward the forest behind the academy.

"What is Iluna going to do?"

Confirming that he did not see wrong, Xia De quickly left the castle and returned to the courtyard, then followed.

No matter what Iluna wanted to do, Xia De had to go see it.

The castle of the Midhillburg Mechanical Academy was originally the headquarters of the Sikar Mountain garrison hundreds of years ago, so the castle was adjacent to the mountains and forests, and the forest behind the castle was the private property of the academy, and young students also liked to meet here at night.

When Xia De came to the edge of the forest where it was not illuminated by the bonfire light in the courtyard, Iluna's figure had already disappeared, but he only walked a few hundred steps into the forest before he saw the faint light in front. Moving forward, he saw two people confronting each other in the dark forest.

One was Iluna, and the other was a brown-skinned man wearing round-rimmed glasses whom he had never seen before, with a long snake-like tattoo on the back of his hand. The two sides were obviously hostile, and it looked like they were about to do it in the next second.

Taking out the mask and buckling it on his face, while the four-ring and five-ring life rings behind the confronting sides appeared, Xia De took out the prepared spellcasting materials.

"Sunlight Spear!"

Golden thunder appeared in Iluna's hand, and on the life ring behind the five-ring sorcerer, the Enlightenment spiritual rune 【Hound】 suddenly lit up. With the flashing of spiritual light, a ferocious hound with three heads actually jumped out of his life ring.

The hound was wrapped in black smoke, and its body was full of bone spurs and abscesses.

"Similar to Dorothy and Lei Qianya, this is a Ringed Shushi who is good at the power of stories and fairy tales!"

Xia De immediately made a judgment.

That huge hound blocked the Sunlight Spear thrown by Iluna in the air, and then was directly severely damaged by the Sunlight Spear, and half of its body was evaporated. The five-ring man was quite surprised, not expecting that the young girl on the opposite side was one ring lower than himself, but could perform such a powerful attack:

"What grudge do you have with me?"

While he was speaking, he summoned another hound, and at the same time reached his hand into his pocket, obviously looking for something.

"You are a member of the Truth Society, that's enough."

Iluna said in a deep voice, and Xia De remembered that Iluna once said that she not only had a grudge with 【Mercury Blood】, but also had a grudge with the 【Truth Society】.

"However, I have been in Midhillburg for so long and haven't encountered the Truth Society. Iluna actually encountered it on the first day she arrived. Could this be the fate of the Chosen One?"

The sound of thunder appeared in Iluna's hand again, and the golden spear took shape in her hand and was held by her. This was the first time Xia De saw that after the "Sunlight Spear" took shape, it was not thrown immediately, and therefore guessed whether the 【Sunlight Spear】 could be considered a spiritual weapon similar to the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 and the 【Death Reaper's Scythe】.

The three-headed dog summoned again opened its three mouths, spitting out poison mist, fire flow, and cold air toward Iluna respectively. But their speed of accumulating power and spitting was too slow. Iluna jumped high to avoid the fan-shaped attack range, and then threw the Sunlight Spear toward the summoner of the three-headed dog in the air.

In order not to attract too much attention, she obviously did not use her full strength. But even so, once this hit, without unique defensive skills, the other party would definitely be dead.

But the man's hand that was placed in his pocket reached toward the sky at this time. He had a handheld makeup mirror in his hand. From the appearance, it looked very similar to the 【Corpse-Hiding Mirror】 that Xia De once possessed, but the mirror frame was smaller and the handle was shorter.

The mirror slapped toward Iluna's Sunlight Spear like a racket. The two collided head-on, and then the golden thunder spear was directly sucked into the mirror.

Iluna, who jumped high, was not panicked at all. After landing steadily, she rolled to avoid the claw attack of the three-headed dog, and then collided with the dog claw that slapped again with a fist that lit up with hot golden light:

"Sun Fist!"

The man behind the three-headed dog rotated his bronze ring, held the mirror in one hand, and began to chant. The Enlightenment spiritual rune 【Ghoul】 behind the life ring began to flicker, but he only chanted half of the spell before suddenly turning around.

Clang!

The relic mirror in his hand blocked Xia De's Moonlight Greatsword, and the moonlight on the two-handed greatsword also illuminated the mask on Xia De's face:

"Who are you again? I'm just here to attend the auction. What do you people want to do? This is too much!"

The man complained loudly and suddenly raised his hand to block the greatsword in Xia De's hand. While Xia De was silent and slashed at him again, he suddenly opened his right eye wide.

The colors of the two eyes were originally the same brown, but at this time, blue light spread rapidly in the left eye. Xia De, who was waving the Moonlight Greatsword, only felt that the sword in his hand was suddenly as if it were solidified in space, actually motionless, and even the effect of the attached 【Distorted Time Sword】 was erased.

"Magic Eye!"

He became vigilant, so he retreated violently. And although he clearly let go of his hand, the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 solidified in space did not disappear. This did not follow the rules of this miracle.

The five-ring sorcerer still held the makeup mirror that absorbed the Sunlight Spear in his right hand, and then reached out his empty left hand, "plucking" the Moonlight Greatsword from space and holding it in his hand. Xia De was surprised and wanted to summon a sword again, but found that the miracle of 【Moonlight Greatsword】 did not work:

"What kind of magic eye is this."

The mirror waved like a racket again. With the golden light lit up on the surface, the absorbed Sunlight Spear was projected from the mirror surface.

"Lagley's Jump!"

Xia De's figure disappeared into the darkness of the dense forest. At the same time, Iluna had killed the three-headed dog again. She certainly saw the short fight between Xia De, who was wearing a mask, and the 【Truth Society】 Ringed Shushi, so she did not attack at close range, but condensed golden spears in both hands at the same time:

"Sunlight Spear!"

Two Sunlight Spears were projected at the same time. The five-ring sorcerer held the mirror in one hand and the sword in the other. The mirror held high absorbed one of the spears, while the greatsword in his right hand shattered the other spear.

"You fell for it!"

A black vortex appeared abruptly in front of him. Iluna's hand stretched out from it and directly grabbed the mirror.

And at the same time, the brilliant cross-shaped moonlight flew out from behind the man. Xia De in the dense forest kicked out the 【Moonlight Slash】 in its strongest form solidified in the air.

The greatsword in his right hand slashed toward Iluna's hand, forcing Iluna, who had not grabbed the mirror firmly, to retract her hand. And when Xia De's Moonlight Slash was about to hit his back, a terrible ghoul jumped out of the 【Ghoul】 spiritual rune on the life ring. While the ghoul was neatly divided into four, the man relied on lying on the ground to avoid the Moonlight Slash:

"Let me think, are you a survivor of the Singe Village Massacre? Or a collateral relative of the family that was turned into half-human half-dog in the Keystone Barking Incident?"

No one answered him. Iluna, who was not far from the man, saw the cross moonlight flying toward her and hurriedly dodged to one side. The cross moonlight hit the big tree behind her and stopped.

"Where are the others from the church?"

Xia De asked, suppressing his voice.

"I am attending this banquet in a private capacity. I don't know if other Ringed Shushi from the church have also come... What is the weakness of the Moonlight Greatsword?"

Xia De and Iluna surrounded the other party from front and back, and the man also stood up, looking at the two with an ugly expression.

Xia De answered confidently:

"Except that it cannot leave the hand, there are no shortcomings. But don't worry, although his magic eye robbed my miracle effect, the power of that sword in his hand has also become smaller."

It's a pity that the newly acquired 【Night Watcher Long Sword】 was not brought with him because it was inconvenient, otherwise Xia De would dare to continue close combat.

"However..."

Xia De looked up over the branches at the three moons in the sky, and a bold idea arose in his heart:

"May the moon be with me."
