"The ceremony is almost like this, now you have it in your hands"
"I grabbed the semi-elemental life, the poet-level relic [Ointment Slug]. Other than that, I have nothing in my hand."
Mr. Albert said frankly:
"Actually, I have not made up my mind to become the chosen one. For me, [Eternal Light] is more important."
"Okay, I have five dragon scales here, one from the [Dragon Eater Order], and one unknown. Among the five relics, the poet-level one is in your hands, the clerical-level [Mirror of Mafara] and
The Keeper-level [Star Sword Stone] is in my hand, the Sage-level [Unknown Swordsmith's Apron] is in the hands of the church, and the angel-level [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone] is half with me and half in the [Dragon Feast Order]
】Hand."
Mr. Albert nodded slightly:
"The relics in the hands of the church need you to communicate. As for the scales and relics in the hands of the [Dragon Eater Order], I don't think you need to worry. The purpose of the gods coming to Moon Bay this time is to devour the seventh chosen one and rob the ancient gods.
With the power, those cultists will facilitate the ceremony of the chosen ones.”
"But there is still one last dragon scale missing. The dragon scale originally belonged to the Eddington family."
Shade briefly told the origin story of the "Seven Families" that Luvia divined, but the coroner didn't know this:
"Although [Eternal Light] is only developed in the Lower City, we are not ignorant about the seven major families. After all, some of the servants of the nobles are also from the Lower City. I am very sure that the Eddington family themselves do not know about the dragon scales.
After I go back, I will do some divination with the help of light and the Diamond of Hope."
The effect of the unknowable relic [Diamond of Hope] is actually that when people facing desperate situations look at it, it will show them hope. This is not a directional divination relic like the [Destiny Base], but I think the chosen one has
How to use it for divination.
"We don't have time. The divine descending ceremony may start tomorrow, or next Tuesday at the latest."
Shade reminded, Mr. Albert nodded silently:
"We also need to know the order of the trials. There is a order for defeating the five ancient relics. This can only be known after getting the seven dragon scales."
"I understand that the ceremony can only begin if the dragon scales are collected."
"Actually, as long as you pull out the sword, you are eligible to perform the ceremony, but it is very difficult, very difficult for anyone."
Shade agreed with this point. Whether it was Emilia a month ago or Miss Knight in the sand sea of the fifth era, their actions could not be copied.
"Then after this matter is over, can you lend me the Diamond of Hope?"
Shade asked again, but he did not directly ask for the precious relic, and Mr. Albert would naturally not refuse:
"Of course, but are you really the famous detective from Tobesk?"
"Detective doesn't count."
Shade replied, and then raised his head together with the coroner, watching the huge fireball fall from the foggy sky. However, after falling to a certain height, there was a buzzing sound above the city, and a light blue that was almost completely transparent appeared.
's shield.
Bang~
The fireball exploded in the air with a loud noise, and the dragon beast that flew out opened its mouth and spit out a mouthful of flames at the shield. Then the body of the dragon beast with deformed flesh and blood swelled up, and rushed towards the shield guarding the city in the bursting energy.
The shield exploded, but it only caused a ripple.
"[Dragon Feast Order] has begun to test."
After bidding farewell to Mr. Albert, Shade returned to Belindel Manor without stopping with the box of information.
Now, except for Carina and the mistress of the manor, the other witches who should be here are already in the manor or on the boat. It was almost lunch, Shade finally transformed little Mia first, and then told Luvia
What just happened.
Luvia had already known that the chosen person this time was Shade's friend. Now that Shade had discussed everything with him, Luvia didn't have much opinion on Ptolemy Albert:
"Since the coroner cares so much about [Eternal Light], it means that he has weaknesses and weaknesses, which is a good thing. You know, the more things he cares about, the easier it is to be manipulated."
The purple eyes were smiling, Shade blinked, feeling that sometimes Luvia's thoughts were really strange:
"During the Divine Descendance Ceremony, he will venture into the [Dragon Feast Sacrifice], and we will definitely go there then. Contact Iluna. The church must also cooperate to buy time for the Chosen One Ceremony, and the church has
Relics also need to be in the right place at the right time."
Luvia went to do it immediately, which caused her to almost miss lunch time.
Because it was uncertain when the divine descending ceremony would begin, Shade considered the lunch at noon that day to be the last lunch before the decisive battle.
Shortly after the lunch, the mermaid girls patrolling the offshore brought new information to Miss Aurora:
"An abnormal storm group appeared in the outer sea."
"The appearance of the evil thing in the deep sea - [The Player of the Seven Tails] is almost certain. If the battlefield is divided into two parts, Shade, where will you be?"
At this time, Shade was standing on the deck of the "Brilliant Messenger", wearing the [Crow's Eye] on his hand and looking at the sea level covered by thick fog in the distance. Iluna, who had just arrived, raised this question, but Shade
I have already thought about it:
"It must be the [Dragon Feast Sacrifice]. Although the evil thing in the deep sea is terrifying, it is not absolutely impossible to contain or even defeat it with the power of the church. The divine descending ceremony and the chosen one ceremony are the focus of this time. Iluna
, you should also be at the sacrificial site, right?"
The eighteen-year-old girl nodded, took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sha De, her brows slightly raised:
"Somehow, I always have a bad feeling this time."
"This is already the seventh war, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
Shade asked:
"And when the Battle of Moon Bay is over, you can stay for two days, and we can travel to the open sea with this ship to bask in the sun and go fishing, or let Miss Belindel open her private beach for us to play for a few days. I think.
I think it will be a lot of fun during our next vacation.”
Iluna turned to look at Shade and asked softly:
"What if Moon Bay is really destroyed as predicted? I know that prophecies cannot all come true, but what if Moon Bay is destroyed?"
"Then at least Luvia and I are still with you."
Iluna immediately smiled and nodded, looked around to make sure no one was around, then stood on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face again.
In the captain's cabin, Miss Eleser, who was patiently explaining the navigation regulations of Fifth Age ships to the blonde writer lady, suddenly paused. When Dorothy asked her why, the ship girl just smiled and said:
"It's nothing, I just think the girls from the Sixth Age are really interesting."
Although Iluna left soon, she would come back tonight. She said she wanted to spend the night on the boat.
Everyone seemed to be busy, so Shade also wanted to find something else to do for himself. The things at hand had basically been dealt with, so while he had time in the afternoon, he went to the orphanage in the city to take a look.
Augustus, the priest, and reminded him of tomorrow's events.
Because of the heavy fog, the orphanage did not organize any outdoor activities for the children. Priest Augustus was in the orphanage. He needed to suppress the shoulder blade that was infected by the special light, so when he met with Shade, Priest Augustus's
The breath is a little weak, but at least it does not affect health.
They were still talking in the stable, and the priest just sighed after hearing what Shade had said:
"I can also feel that the breath of death is gradually covering Yuewan. Yes, something big will definitely happen in the past two days. In fact, because of this heavy fog, the dean has considered temporarily moving the children to the countryside. The fog in the countryside
It's a bit thinner and the situation is much better than here. But there are a lot of children here, so it's hard to find a suitable place."
Shade just thought about it and came up with the answer:
"Do you know that there is a 'Red Heart Orphanage' in the north of the city? I visited there. Although there are not enough beds inside, it should be no problem to make beds on the floor. If the chefs, helpers and women taking care of the children at Yuewan Orphanage are willing to go there,
, there can barely accommodate everyone.
There is no need to worry about the food issue, the Red Heart Orphanage has its own farm output, so we can just provide the money when the time comes."
There are many orphanages in big cities like Yuewan. Although Priest Augustus had never heard of them, he thought it was OK after hearing Shade's description:
"Then detective, please help me contact you. I'm just worried that I don't have enough time. After all, the children can't just leave. The dean needs to consider various things and procedures. You know, this is an official place.
Orphanage."
"Then try to act as quickly as possible. I will go to the owner of the Red Heart Orphanage to discuss this matter soon."
After that, he said to the priest:
"Priest, you should follow us out of the city when the time comes. Don't stay in the city."
He came here this time to confirm the priest's status, and if it was good, he would lend him the [Angel's Right Arm]. After all, the priest was also one of the candidates this time, but under the current situation, the priest definitely could not participate in the war.
Rat August thought of the letter from Luvia he received a few days ago, and looked at Shade again:
"Okay, but I will wait until the last child leaves here before leaving. Although I am only a second-level detective now, I am still a better detective than ordinary people. You should be careful yourself."
After the affairs of Priest Augustus are settled, they only need to wait for the arrival of Joy Barton and Ms. Marilyn Handel. They were originally in the east of the Old World and will take some time to arrive at Moon Bay. As for Dr. Schneider, Shade plans to
Find a crossroad to "summon" him at night.
In this way, the preparations for this war are basically complete. All that is left is to wait.
