The unexpectedly mentioned cat looked up at her on the coffee table. The elf girl was still sobbing:
"It's really great here. If I live here for a summer, I will be happy for many years. I obviously didn't do anything wrong, why would this happen? Is this retribution for me sneaking out of school before?"
Agelina handed the letter to Shade, and Shade scanned it briefly. The letter did not say that Emilia and her group should return to school immediately. Now it just asked them to leave "the danger of cultists entrenched".
city" and then make other arrangements.
But no matter what, Emilia's "Journey to Tobesk City in 1854" came to an end today. The elf's long lifespan means that she will still spend a long time, but in this week and a half,
It will probably be engraved in her mind forever. Thinking of this, Shade also felt sad for her.
Naturally, she couldn't refuse the school's arrangement, and even Emilia herself knew that such an arrangement was for her safety. Therefore, although she was reluctant to part with it, she could only accept it.
The luggage in the side bedroom on the second floor had to be repacked. Although Lecia had other things to do in the morning, Agelina volunteered to stay and help. Shade went to
Went to Coldwater Port to meet Mr. Edmund. He planned to come back within an hour and then fulfill his promise to take Amelia around the city.
It was raining lightly in Coldwater Harbor on this Thursday morning, so the carriages that were willing to take Shade out of the city asked for an extra 10% fare. When Shade came to the old lighthouse on the sea cliff with an umbrella, he found that the old man guarding the tower was not there.
I drank tea in the tower to take shelter from the rain, but stood on the edge of the sea cliff, looking at the depths of the ocean with a monocular telescope.
"Good morning, Mr. Edmond."
Xia De took the initiative to say hello. The old man recognized Xia De's voice and said without looking back:
"Good morning, wait for me."
Shade then came to him and looked at the sea. I don't know if it was because of the hazy drizzle. A layer of mist seemed to have arisen in the depths of the ocean. The slowly rolling mist was hazy and strange, not at all.
A foreigner who had lived in a coastal city was very curious about this, but he did not notice anything unusual about the rain and fog on the sea.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Mr. Edmond put down the telescope, hesitated, and actually handed it to Shade:
"Come and see."
That brass-colored retractable telescope is an alchemical product, and the traces of the elements are very strong:
"Which direction are you looking at?"
"Deep in the ocean, look at the fog."
After closing his left eye, he put the telescope in front of his right eye, and the distant scenery suddenly came into view. Shade could almost see every detail of the rolling fog very clearly. But he knew that of course Mr. Edmund
He was not allowed to look at the scenery, so he looked at the details of the fog more carefully, and his brows gradually wrinkled:
"Wait a minute, is there an island deep in the fog? I remember there shouldn't be such a big island offshore of Coldwater Port, right?"
He put down the telescope, and the old folklorist nodded happily:
"Very good, you can indeed see it. Yes, of course there is no island off the coast of Coldwater Harbor. That island is actually just an phantom now. You have experienced so many things in the Green Lake area, I think you should know what this means.
"
Shade responded hesitantly:
"The space on the other side of the normal space of the physical world?"
"Yes, after the Green Lake incident, although with the efforts of the Chosen Ones of Balance, the Chosen Ones of Space, and the 'God Caller', the spreading spatial instability disaster was temporarily stopped, but the space direction of the entire world is not the same.
The stable trend has not been completely reversed. Something that was originally unobservable is now accelerating its return to our world, and that island is Dragon Island."
"What?"
Shade looked at Mr. Edmund in surprise, and the old man motioned for him to go back to the lighthouse to talk.
Compared with the rainy and cold outside, the inside of the lighthouse separated by an iron door is warm and comfortable, and there is a faint fragrance of tea. After Shade sat down, Mr. Edmond continued to prepare hot tea:
"The ancient legend believes that the giant dragons did not disappear, but received the blessing of the ocean gods, went to the deep sea and settled down. Originally, when the New World was discovered, the Orthodox Church once believed that it was the disappeared giant.
The island where dragons last settled, but now that it has been so many years since the discovery of the New World, no one has found a giant dragon there."
The teacup was filled with hot water and white smoke came out. Shade thanked him and picked up the teacup:
"So, the dragons that began to disappear in the fifth era were actually hiding in a strange space like Green Island? Moreover, they are now preparing to return because of a series of events in Green Lake?"
"I can't say for sure whether it will return, but the barrier between that island and reality is definitely getting weaker."
Mr. Edmond also held the tea cup and took a sip:
"This tea is really good. Let the church worry about Dragon Island. They are probably more anxious than us. But now that the chosen one of light is about to appear, Dragon Island returns just because of the Green Lake incident. Is this fate?
Is it a coincidence, or an arrangement of fate?"
Shade was also startled. Because of his existence, the matter in Green Lake could be resolved relatively satisfactorily, so the Dragon Island would appear at the right time. But he didn't know the past time without his existence.
When is Dragon Island again?
"Yes, so the order in which the chosen ones appear is different."
He understood in his heart and raised his eyebrows again and asked:
"Did you just say the Chosen One of Light?"
Mr. Edmond smiled and said:
"I bet you are in Moon Bay now, right?"
"Yes, and we encountered some little trouble."
Xia De told the truth, and the old man nodded:
"[Guiding Light Hermitage] also has some fragments of poems. Although it cannot be compared with the Five Gods Church and the three major colleges, the part of the information we have this time points directly to Yuewan. This news is probably both the church and the college.
Unclear: The chosen one of light has the power to directly control the giant dragons. In other words, once the chosen one of light appears, the dragons are willing to obey his or her or its orders. Although it is impossible to directly become the so-called 'giant'.
King of Dragons', but those dragons won't mind helping when the time comes."
Shade pursed his lips:
"This news is really amazing. It means that the chosen one this time not only has great power himself, but also has an entire powerful race."
"It's not certain whether those dragons are powerful now. They are indeed stronger than ordinary humans. Ancient dragons can also compete with thirteen-ring warlocks, but don't forget that this is the sixth era. Human beings have become weaker because of the change of eras. From the sixth era to the present
Except for the 'God Caller' who is rumored to have touched the realm of demigods, there is no demigod, so why can the dragon be as powerful as in ancient times?"
Mr. Edmond asked, and Shard expressed his understanding:
"That's the truth, but if all the dragons return, even if their power becomes relatively weak, they will still be a big force after all. So, in addition to seeking the power of the chosen ones this time, the Dragon Feast Order also wants to do this because of this? Oh,
I came here this time to inquire about an ancient legend from you, do you know the 'Sword of Light'?"
Mr. Edmund frowned at first, and then put down the tea cup in disbelief:
"Is this ceremony of the chosen one about pulling out the sword?"
Instead of being surprised, Shade was pleasantly surprised:
"You do know."
"This makes sense why the dragons are willing to help the chosen ones of 'Light'. With that sword, of course they can't resist."
The old folklorist laughed:
"The answer is simpler than I thought. I thought the dragons respected the mortals who inherited the power of the ancient gods. It turned out that they were threatened. Don't worry, I won't tell this news."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell them. Judging from the situation of the six selected people in the past, it seems that the ritual of knowing the chosen ones has no effect at all. It may even help others."
Shade waved his hand indifferently, and Mr. Edmond agreed:
"That's right. Then let's get back to business. I do know about the 'Sword of Light', but I don't know much about it. After all, it is a story circulated in the early days of the Second Era. Even I am not sure whether that sword is
It really exists. How much do you know now?"
"The origin of the sword and its ability to restrain giant dragons are suspected to be the legendary 'Dragon Sword'."
"Then what you don't know is probably the existence form of that sword. Specifically, the 'Sword of Light' is not a definite sword."
Mr. Edmond said with certainty. When Shade frowned, he knew that he did not understand this sentence:
"The 'Sword of Light' is a powerful weapon forged by the ancient gods. Because of its particularity, theoretically speaking, since the birth of that sword, any sword related to justice and light that has been forged in the material world is a 'Sword of Light'.
The extension of the sword's power, I call those swords holy swords. This sounds incredible, but it is just a connection in mysticism. Therefore, no one knows the identity of the sword of light, but those powerful holy swords
You can become a 'Sword of Light' through some special methods."
"In other words, if you can't find the real 'Sword of Light', you can use other swords to summon it. Which swords meet the requirements?"
The old gentleman immediately shook his head:
"All I know is the story, and I don't know the specific details. But I am almost certain that the Demon Buster [Night Watch] in the hands of the 'Godcaller' must meet the requirements. I can't even think of anything else that meets the requirements more than it." . ”
"So, if the specific rituals or requirements are known, the Godcaller can draw the Sword of Light through the [Night Watch]?"
Shade asked again. Mr. Edmond thought for a moment before nodding:
"That's the theory, but it's easy for us to say it, but it's very difficult to do it specifically. I also want to see the legendary weapons left by the ancient gods. The Dragon Sword must be stronger than the [Night Watch]. Then Even if the sword is not a relic, its power must be easily comparable to that of an unknown sword relic, right?"
