When Shade returned to Belindle Manor that evening, he happened to meet the witch who had returned from the city hall. Because he was not sure yet, Shade did not mention that John Flynn claimed to be the Chosen One, but only mentioned the vampire's weapon.
Holy Sword, but this still shocked the Countess:
"First, you are looking for the [Hope Diamond], then the [Unique Existence] that I have already obtained, and the [Collection of Dice Stories] when we met, and now there is another sage-level sword, Moon Bay.
When did so many high-level relics appear?"
"I can't answer this question, but since it is determined that the chosen one this time may use these holy swords to pull out the weapons left by the ancient gods, we have to investigate. I will still do this, but
I hope you can help with divination."
"Of course it's possible, but please don't have too much hope. Even I can't easily divine a sage-level relic. It's basically impossible."
So before dinner, Miss Belindel used a formal divination ritual in the basement to perform a divination, and it turned out to be ineffective as she expected. This was already considered a great feat on her part, after all, she did not suffer backlash from the divination relics.
Of course, although the divination relics were not harvested, at least she had determined the location of the vampire monster's recent hiding place based on the remains of the vampire monster provided by Shade.
Because the divination was very accurate, Shade had the idea of long nights and long dreams, so he went home, fed the cat, and went to the Seer Association to invite Luvia to meet at home in the evening.
It's a very interesting sewer adventure.
In short, they went from the urban sewage pipes on the seaside to the underground of Yuewan, and followed the long-abandoned ancient sewers to find the former lair of the vampire monster.
There weren't many valuable things in the lair, only three female corpses that had died after their blood was sucked. It seemed that the number of victims counted by the church was actually a little smaller.
After that, Shade used the metal divination card and Luvia's compass to successfully discover the secret room buried further down the vampire monster's lair.
Similar to the darkroom in the cave of the ancient tree in Whispering Hills, this darkroom was also protected by some strange power. When the maids cast spells to dig out the darkroom passage, cockroaches, maggots, and ants spewed out from the ground.
, mosquitoes and unknown bugs, made Shade quickly take two steps back. This scene reminded him of his experience when he was adventuring with the time key in the [Worm Cave].
The shells of those bugs are quite hard, and most of them are harder than steel. And after emerging from the ground, they did not flee in all directions. Those with the ability to fly and bounce immediately pounced on people's faces, while those without the ability to fly or bounce quickly
Climbing into people's shoes and trying to climb up.
"How disgusting!"
The witch took Shade's arm and complained. First she raised her feet and stepped on the ground, using repulsive force to fly away the small bugs. Then she called on everyone to work together to call for flames. It took 20 minutes to burn these bugs in the sewer pipe with poor ventilation.
All the bugs were burned away. After making sure that bugs were no longer sprayed out of the darkroom, Shade didn't really want to recall the smell of the air at the scene.
He only remembered that not only himself, but Miss Belindel and the maids also had dark faces. Even though everyone could hold their breath, just contacting the air at that time would make people feel uncomfortable all over.
Of course, after spending such a big "price", there will naturally be gains. After Miss Belindel used the basic spell "Bubble Charm" to summon bubbles to cover everyone's heads, everyone began to explore the darkroom.
The area of the darkroom located further down the nest was not large. After cleaning out the insect nest and the female insect that had not climbed out of the hole just now, they found more than a dozen pieces of ancient documents related to the Black family that were in varying degrees of fragmentation.
Judging from the content of the literature, at the beginning of the Sixth Era, there were ring warlocks in the Black family. Of course, these are not the key. The key is that in the middle of the darkroom floor, there is a magic weapon that seems to be able to emit a deep light in the dark.
Black dragon scales.
The rotation of the compass pointer and the vibration of the divination card all originated from this black dragon scale. Miss Matilda wanted to take it out, but was caught off guard and was almost knocked away by the force of the counterattack. Even with the fate of
The witch stretched out her hand and felt a strange repulsive force preventing her from touching the scales.
The frown on his eyebrows made the fat-red birthmark tremble slightly:
"This didn't happen with the golden dragon scales last time. Does it mean that only descendants of the Black family can come into contact with it?"
"Please let me come."
Shade said, using Fiona's gloves to grab the scales, and then smoothly pinched it out of the depression in the ground. After leaving the groove in the ground, the scales lost their strange repulsion to repel other people.
The dragon scales trembled in Shade's hand, and the strange and deep black light gradually converged. The strong miraculous element was almost identical to the golden dragon scales, so Shade and the witch knew what it was.
(Little Mia is running.)
"Louvia, you can't imagine how fast Miss Belindel and the maids drove the carriage after we came out of the sewer in order to return to the manor to take a bath as soon as possible."
At 8:30 in the evening, Shade wiped the water from his hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Luvia's voice, who was washing fruits, came from the kitchen:
"Actually, little Mia doesn't want to get close to you after you come back, which is enough to show how terrible the smell is."
As she said that, she came to the living room carrying a fruit bowl filled with apples. She looked up and down at Shade who had just taken a shower, and then nodded with satisfaction:
"The black dragon scales belong to the Black family?"
"Yes, judging from those stone tablets, the Ring Warlock who once appeared in the Black family believed that placing this scale in the family would not be beneficial to the descendants of ordinary people. He had studied the scale and found that the power of the scale itself was enough to make ordinary people
The human body and soul undergo mutations, but they also subtly strengthen those creatures that already have power. The ancient trees in Whispering Hills, the souls in the trees, the female werewolf, the black cat in the small waterway, and the vampire monster are all affected by
The radiation of scale power.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Black family sealed the scales and left a message in the family that only ring magicians could understand. But I don’t know whether the message was lost or whether the ring has never appeared in the Black family for more than a thousand years.
Warlock, anyway, the scales are always in the sewer."
Shade bent down and picked up little Mia. The cat, which liked the smell of Shade's bath, immediately rubbed its head against Shade's shoulder. After noticing that Shade's body temperature had become higher after taking a bath, the fluffy cat seemed
Even more happy.
"Also, the reminder the black cat gave me before leaving was correct. The location of the darkroom is 200 meters diagonally below where the black cat's body is."
"That cat."
Luvia recalled the little story told by Shade and sighed softly. She originally wanted to say that she seemed to be divined by someone today, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was just a trivial matter:
"It's still unclear what the use of the dragon scales of the seven major families is. If you can collect them, try your best to collect them. [Blood Sorrow] is more important. I very much doubt that the holder of the sword now is the chosen one.
One of the candidate candidates.”
"What about John Flynn?"
Shade bent down and took an apple:
"I can't be sure whether what he said is true, but at least the [Wind King's Sword] is true."
"There is a high probability that he is indeed one of the candidates, but I still need to go and see it in person. But according to your current description, this person's personality and method of doing things are much more normal than the previous candidates."
The girl with purple eyes said, and asked another person:
"What's going on with Miss Elisa? She hasn't shown up today, has she?"
"I don't know why. Just wait patiently, she will appear sooner or later."
He took another bite of the apple, tilted his head and looked at the gas lamp on the wall of his house, and then suddenly asked:
"Tomorrow is the King's birthday. It's a national holiday in Delarion. Is the Prophet's Association a holiday?"
"Of course it's a holiday. The association is opposite Yodel Palace. Even if we want to go to work, the president can't let the association open for fear of the king's face."
Luvia asked with a smile:
"What, do you want to ask me out on a date tomorrow? That's not possible. You have to concentrate on preparing for the banquet in the evening. After all, it is Dorothy and Lesia's 'big day' again."
"Oh, Luvia~"
Shade held her hand and looked into those smiling purple eyes:
"What I want to say is, I asked Lesia to prepare an invitation letter for you. How about you attending the banquet at Yodel Palace tomorrow night? Lesia, Carina and Dorothy are all there. If it's just you,
If I don't, I will feel this is very strange. And we can find time to talk with everyone about the current situation in Moon Bay. It is necessary to let them know the news about the appearance of [Wind King's Sword] and [Blood Sorrow]."
"Do Dorothy and Lesia know what you plan to talk about tomorrow night?"
She asked with a smile, then nodded slightly:
"Then I will prepare the dress during the day tomorrow and then go do my hair. But tomorrow night is your and Dorothy's time, so I will not accompany you as your female companion, let Princess Agelina
Give me an invitation letter. She used to go to the Oracle Association to play divination games, and she became familiar with me."
Her beautiful purple eyes looked at Shade, and she knew what Shade meant:
"Don't invite me just because they are here and I am not. I won't care about such a small thing. Shade, I can always feel your feelings for me, so you don't have to make this balance."
Shade originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he kissed her directly. Luvia smiled and closed her eyes to welcome his kiss. Then at least Shade remembered to turn off the lights in the living room and turn on the lights.
