Chapter 2096 Invitation to the Long Sword and Action at Night
After leaving the church, the group did not return to the manor, but went to Belindell Big Ben in the city center. Just like what Shade heard from the man who sold him the “Eternal Light” when he first came to this place, this place is not open to the public. Only important members of the Belindel family and the city council can come.
As evening approaches, the Parliament Square is packed with people. Seeing that it was getting late, Shade originally wanted to say goodbye and leave to go find Mr. Bernhardt to explain the [Dragon Eater Order], but the witch insisted on letting Shade stay:
“You helped me today, I want to show you my favorite thing in this city.”
The door of the bell tower was opened, and the tower guard watched respectfully as the group entered the bell tower. The elevator controlled by a high-power underground steam engine is at the innermost side, so even if seven people stand on it together, it won’t seem crowded.
Miss Matilda pulled the gate switch on the side pillar. Amidst the roar from the underground, the elevator smoothly took a group of people from the bottom to the top.
On the viewing terrace, Shade and the Witch stood by the railing together and looked at the city at sunset. On the nearby Tatton River, sailors and trackers have finished work, and flocks of seagulls can even be seen flying above the dock area in the distance. The Parliament Square was crowded with people, vendors, speakers standing on high platforms speaking, and tourists from out of town, all watching this novel scene.
“The scenery here is indeed very good.”
Shad commented, but this is not what Miss Belinder was thinking about at this time:
“You know, my aunt just rejected me again.”
Xia De looked at her unexpectedly, and he didn’t expect that she would take the initiative to talk to him about her family’s private affairs.
“This is not a private matter. Since you are walking in Yuewan City, you also need to know some secrets among the nobles.”
Looking at the city scenery below, Bella Belindel briefly described the story of the past:
“When Aunt Phyllis Belindel was young, her appearance was only slightly worse than mine. This is a very cliché love story from an aristocratic family. The aunt fell in love with a poor boy, but her grandfather opposed her choice. . This matter continued at home for several years, and finally Aunt Phyllis became a nun and never returned home.”
“Where is that man?”
“In the winter of the second year after my aunt became a nun, she was beaten to death by the wealthy local businessman for seducing her lover.”
She said lightly:
“The ancient legend involves everyone in the Seven Glorious Yuewan Family. I hope my aunt can temporarily move back to live with us, help me find some information, or contact those distant relatives. But she seems to be a little bit I don’t want to have anything to do with Belindel.”
After sighing softly, he finally asked Shade why he was looking for her this afternoon. Only then did Shade have the opportunity to talk about the four different targets he learned from the bathhouse and what happened last night, especially about the [Dragon Feast Order]:
“Miss Benenice told me that the [Dragon Eater Order] has a fragment of a poem related to the chosen ones of ‘Light’. This time they appeared locally, and they sent out modified ones. Seventh Ring Warlock, this is not a small operation.”
“[Dragon Cult], [Light Worshipers Training Society]. Light and dragon, the ancient **** of light, ‘Dragon of Glory’. I understand.”
Seemingly being affected by the dusk scenery, she nodded half-heartedly, not even thinking of divination:
“Good progress. Does this matter involve the Black family, the Wood family and the Hawthorne family?”
She thought for a moment:
“Although I trust your ability, you are a big local noble after all. After dinner, I will give you some blank stationery with my personal seal on it. This should be able to help you.”
Being able to give this kind of item to Shade shows that she trusts him very much:
“Is there anything else to do later?”
Xia De nodded:
“I’m going to find my friend. He is also helping to investigate this matter. I’m worried that he doesn’t know about the [Dragon Food Order] yet.”
Then the witch swallowed the invitation “Would you like to have dinner together later?”:
“What about tonight?”
“It should be fine.”
“Well, bring the relics and spellcasting materials tonight. I have deciphered some interesting information from the family’s old books. We may have an adventure outside the city tonight.”
“Go visit ancient ruins or something else?”
Shad asked curiously, Miss Belindel thought for a moment:
“If my interpretation and divination are correct, it should be an ancient ruin or a hidden cave, but I don’t know what the specific situation is. We will go deep into the northern part of the Moon Bay area, in the Black Forest, Whispering Hills and Toxic Searching for clues in the swamp.”
Xia De laughed:
“These three place names seem to be taken from fairy tales.”
Facing the setting sun at the top of the bell tower, the smile on his face seemed so charming to the witch. Miss Belindel tried hard to control her expression, and also showed a faint smile:
“The naming of the forests, mountains and swamps in the Yuewan area all comes from an older era. Such names were popular in that era. Do you know the ‘St. George Stone Bridge’ at the exit on the northeast side of the city? We are here tonight Meet there.”
After bidding farewell to the witch, Shade went to the autopsy room in Spider Alley and informed Mr. Ptolemy Albert of the information about the [Dragon Eater Order] and asked him to pass it on to Mr. Bernhardt.
Then I threw my glass slipper back home, took the cat to have dinner, then changed into another piece of clothing and started getting ready for the evening.
The exit of the Dragon’s Nest is not far from the St. George Stone Bridge, so Shade is not in a hurry. After dinner, I took the “Dragon Scale Coins” I had obtained from the “Dragon Altar” in the Dragon Lair in the past few days to the basement, and then took one and practiced with Sister Devlin in the mountaintop altar. The straight sword obtained during the swordsmanship went into the [Earth Core Furnace] in the basement, and the experience of “traversing the earth” was used to smelt the already strong straight sword with those “dragon scale coins”.
Just like Miss Carina said, the straight sword that was re-smelted from the “Dragon Scale Coin” has a shallow trace of dragon scales on the metal surface. And because it was smelted by the [Earth Core Furnace] and contaminated with the power of the earth, it was originally just a strong and sharp straight sword, but now it can be regarded as a very good alchemical weapon.
I waved it casually in the basement a few times. The weight of the straight sword did not change, but it became inexplicably smoother. Although it is not as exaggerated as the roar of a dragon when it is swung, if you don’t compare it with the relic-type long swords, this should be regarded as the best long sword that Shade can find.
Because he does not want to reveal his identity, [Night Watcher] must not be brought with him, so Shade plans to bring this weapon to participate in tonight’s operation. Although Miss Belindel said it wouldn’t take long and she would return to the city in the middle of the night if she couldn’t find the specific location, Shade decided to be more cautious.
I planned to set off from home at seven o’clock, but when night fell and the street lights around the square came on, a private carriage without a sign stopped at the door of Shade’s house. Then Lesia took Agelina and The maids entered No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.
Seeing Shade looking like he was about to go out, Lesia, who put on light makeup, asked curiously:
“What are you going to do? To meet that young elf girl?”
Agelina’s little ears on the side moved and she listened calmly.
“Of course not, go to Moon Bay.”
Shad put the cat on the back of the sofa, walked up and hugged Lesia, looking at his beautiful princess:
“Good evening, do you want to stay here for the night? I’ll leave in a moment and be back before ten o’clock. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the goods you had in Yuewan are no longer a problem.”
Lecia nodded, finally able to leave Yodel Palace for the night. Even if Shade came back in the middle of the night, she would never leave because of this:
“I’ll give you a reward tonight… What’s going on over at Yuewan that requires you to work so late at night?”
“The witch over there wants me to help. The great witch of fate, she is investigating something.”
Agelina’s little ears moved again, and Lesia shook her head;
“I heard Carina say that you met the witch in the Moon Bay area, but is she going too far and asking you to help so late? Really, be safe, I’ll wait at home You.”
Although she complained, she did not stop Shade. Shade talked to the two princesses for a while before heading to the basement.
Agelina asked her sister curiously:
“Did you just talk about elves?”
Lecia glanced at her sister and knew what she was thinking:
“Yes, this race should be mentioned in the book you are reading. There are a large number of students of different races in the three major colleges, but most of them are current students. Isn’t it time for summer off-campus practice? Shade used to The young elf I met came to the local area. She has blond hair and looks pretty good. After all, she is an elf, so she is different from a human. She is definitely older than Aunt Carina, but she looks as young as you.”
“Then what is the relationship between her and Shade?”
Agelina asked again, and Lesia smiled and asked:
“Why, do you have a sense of crisis? Oh, my Agelina, my dear sister, human beings have limits. Time will make girls grow old ruthlessly, but the elf will probably still look good after decades. It won’t change. However, if the level of the ring magician is high enough, you can learn many thaumaturgy and secret techniques to stop the appearance. For example, Shade has a book called “The Secret of Agelessness”, which was handed down by the demigod witch in the fifth era. But if you want to learn it, just one link is not enough.”
She wanted to inspire her sister, and Agelina was indeed inspired, nodding quickly:
“Yes, yes, humans have limits.”
I encouraged myself in my heart, and then became more and more curious about the rumored elf.
“Meow~”
Mia hopes that the women who broke into the house can be quiet for a while and not disturb it while it waits for Shade to come home.
