After taking a long breath, Xia De thought of another thing from the words of sublimation:
"Now that I have been promoted to the eighth ring, the words of sublimation in the middle ring, "The shadow of the silver moon guides the final direction," have to be completed. Now there is still a [direction]. I wonder what the effect of the words of sublimation in the middle ring will be?
If the shadow of the silver moon refers to myself, then what does the 'final' direction mean? Could it be that this sublimated word is actually a large-scale divination ritual that can let me know the cause of the end."
[Perhaps the guess can be more exaggerated.]
Really confused, Shade saw the [God's Gift Box] placed on the floor again. Since the Sunday that just passed was so long, Shade even felt that it had been a month since he last opened this box.
What happened before.
【Last time you got a bottle of perfume, you gave it to Dorothy Louisa, and spent a pleasant morning in the study.】
"She" helped Shade remember. Shade held the cat's butt on his shoulder to prevent it from falling, then bent down to open the lid of the box and put his hand in:
"Although I don't expect to get anything useful, I am always very happy every time I face an unknown gift, right?"
What I started with was a cool, round crystal about the size of an goose egg, white and translucent. The inside was not uniform but filled with floc. Its surface was not completely smooth, but was composed of white pentagonal facets.
Of course Shade knew what it was:
"White stone crystal?"
"Meow~"
The cat didn't care when he saw it wasn't food. Shade turned his head and looked at the statue of the ancient god behind him in surprise:
"Isn't this a revelation for me to start a new adventure now?"
He shook his head quickly:
"No, no, I still want to rest for a while first."
He put the crystal that could be sacrificed to the [Space Maze] in exchange for a random new road sign on the shelf where the "souvenirs" were placed. At this time, Miss Knight's knife was already placed on the shelf.
Knight's sword in scabbard.
At the end of the Battle of Moon Bay, the appearance of the "Third Form of the Sword of Light" did not damage this ordinary long sword. Shade guessed that this may be related to the real "Sword of Light", or perhaps to Miss Knight's
Related to "Blessing of the Dead".
But in short, Shade will remember her.
After looking at her collection again and preparing to return to Yuewan, "she" reminded her softly:
【Is the Holy White Auditorium uneasy to let go?】
Shade did not forget this:
"Let's wait until Luvia and Iluna return to Tobesk. I want to explore this new secret with them."
There is no use for Shade to keep the unknowable relic "Hope Diamond" for himself, but since Mr. Albert agreed to let Shade borrow it for a month, he will not return it immediately.
Therefore, after safely placing the other relics back at home, and making sure that Carina and Lesia would not spend the night at home tonight but in the Yodel Palace, he returned to Moon Bay with this unknown-level relic.
, handed it to Luvia on the ship docked at the dock:
"Although I can't find you the [Destiny Base], this should be able to help you. I borrowed it for a month, but this is an unknowable relic after all, so be careful when using it."
The purple-eyed girl smiled like a little girl who got a new princess doll, and even kissed Shade:
"You can actually get such a relic? Although I really want to know how you borrowed it, I won't ask any more questions.
My only question is, Shade, where are you going to sleep tonight?"
Purple eyes looked at Shade with some inexplicable meaning. Of course Shade knew what she meant:
"Let's go on the boat. I'll go back after you all go back in a few days, so little Mia will have to endure spending the night outside for a few more days."
Belindel Manor will be very busy recently. Since the space gate still exists due to Miss Sylvia's maintenance, sleeping on the boat is equivalent to living in the manor.
"Keep the door open for me tonight, and I'll go and check your health. Don't believe all the conclusions of Dorothy and Lesia. After all, I'm a fortune teller, and I'm a professional."
It was already approaching evening when I saw Mr. Bernhardt.
At that time, Xia De had just met with Priest August and Dr. Schneider, and they also wanted to stay in Yuewan for a while to see the scenery of this strange city.
And the meeting with Mr. Bernhardt on the beach in the dock area was not a chance encounter, but the gentleman took the initiative to send an invitation to meet.
When Shade came to the beach, the setting sun had already filled the place. Both the waves and the beach were covered with brilliant sunset. Mr. Bernhardt was wearing a black hat and stood on the beach with his hands behind his back, watching.
Looking at the endless sparkling sea and the ships that come and go.
Seagulls were circling in the sky, and the tide kept coming up one after another. There was no one else on the beach except Mr. Bernhardt and Shade. After experiencing such a heavy disaster, people had become accustomed to not going out at night.
Instead, I spend more time with my family.
"The scenery is so beautiful, it doesn't look like the disaster has just ended."
Mr. Bernhard didn't need to look back to know that it was Shade who was coming. Shade nodded amidst the sound of the tide:
"It really can't be seen. This at least shows that this disaster did not completely destroy Yuewan. Time will erase the damage that Yuewan has suffered, just like time can erase everything else."
He stood next to Mr. Bernhardt and looked at the ocean:
"Thanks to you for what happened this time. If you hadn't organized the priest group, I definitely wouldn't have been able to win on my own."
The vampire seed Lord shook his head facing the western sun:
"I actually didn't do anything. After all, even if I were gone, there would be others, but without you and Albert, there really would be no replacement."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention that the blood-sucking god clearly waited until Shade changed day and night again before appearing, instead of coming to help immediately.
"Your slate."
He returned to Shade the stone slab that Shade had used to construct the Goddess' body using the Philosopher's Stone. Of course, the body had collapsed.
"What are the local vampires' next plans?"
"I don't have any plans. Let's continue living as before. Whether we are humans or vampires, all we pursue in this era is to live peacefully. Humans regard this place as home, and so do my fellow humans."
He sighed softly:
"I originally came here just to discuss business. I didn't expect it to come to this point. But at least the matter in Yuewan is over, and those of the same race in the New World will naturally have churches to deal with it."
Shade heard the meaning of his words, and he looked at his somewhat lonely friend:
"So, you're leaving Yuewan too?"
"Yes, the business has been negotiated a long time ago. Now that the Battle of Moon Bay is over, I will return to Wellendale with the relics aided by the Order to return to the Presbyterian Church. And Moon Bay is not my home after all, Mr. Watson, not only
It’s you, but I am also a foreigner to Yuewan City.”
His eyes were shining against the brilliant sunset:
"It's finally over. I really miss my house in Willendale and my house in Huntingdon."
"I thought you would stay. With your current prestige in Moon Bay, the local vampires should be willing to listen to you in the future."
Shade was joking, and Mr. Bernhardt also thought it was a joke. He smiled and shook his head:
"I'm not interested in this, and you remember, right? I'm nominally a member of the Rosicrucian Order. I had no choice but to get involved in the Moon Bay Incident. Now that the matter is over, I can't wait to fly back to Willendale immediately.
Marquis Morson, Captain Rudolf, Mrs. Jude and Miss Rice all tried to persuade me to stay, but I refused. I have no ambition to lead the revival of the ethnic group, nor am I willing to sacrifice myself to save others like you and Albert.
hero."
"Mr. Bernhardt, you can just praise Mr. Albert, but you don't need to praise me like this."
Shade said immediately, and then mentioned the coroner:
"I went to see him this morning and talked with him. He is currently in a sealed state and will probably still stay in Yuewan for activities in the future. If I have time, I will visit him often."
"Before I leave, I will also talk to Albert again, walk around the city together, or have a meal together. I still retain my original opinion. Although Albert also has his own thoughts, he
Still one of the most honest people I know, almost as good as you."
Lord Vampire Seed said with a smile, and both of them turned around. The setting sun illuminated the surging waves. Amidst the sound of the waves, they stood on the beach and shook hands with each other:
"It's time to leave, Mr. Bernhardt. I'm glad to see you again in Moon Bay. I hope we won't say such things next time."
The Vampire Seed Lord naturally knew what Sha De meant, and he shook his head indifferently:
“After experiencing what happened last fall and this summer, I have almost understood that when fate comes knocking on your doorstep, you can only face it bravely.
I look forward to our next meeting, Mr. Watson. When I return to Willondale, I will send you some bottles of good wine. The summer is coming to an end. I will miss the summer of 1854, miss you, and be with you. Adventures in Moon Bay with Ptolemy."
He let go of Shade's hand and looked at the waves again:
"When I get old, I may talk to my children about the road we walked in this city and the story of this summer. Although it is wrong to say this about the two heroes and their friends, I I'm even a little reluctant to let this summer end like this.
A person doesn't have many opportunities to do great things in his life. What happened last fall was not great, but what happened this summer is really amazing. How about calling this story "The Legend of Moon Bay"?"
Shade didn't speak any more and looked at the sea. The sea was really beautiful.
