Chapter 3768 The Dragon's Kindness
"The goddess of the lake?"
To Shad's surprise, Miss Eden had actually heard this story, which was only circulated in the countryside around Huntington:
"Summoner, are you saying that the 'Goddess of the Lake' is the heavens?"
“If the ‘Goddess of the Lake’ is willing to see you, you will surely find the lake. I am telling you this because of your lineage; I do not want to cause trouble for that lady.”
Miss Eden nodded immediately, then said to Shad:
"Summoner of the Gods, how can I help you?"
Shad laughed and looked in the direction of Claire, whose figure was still visible even though she had walked away.
"There are also witches in the Witch Council who use the power of the sun, but her level is not as high as yours. That witch needs some help recently."
[Sun Emblem] Miss Eden nodded knowingly:
“We can meet on the snow-capped mountain and chat casually. This is my private matter, and I don’t think it’s necessary for others to know. This is my contact address, and I will go when the time is right.”
The telepathic message left a mark on Xia De's mind. Xia De reached out and shook her hand; he liked this kind of cooperation.
Before lunch, Shad told Claire that he had arranged to meet with Miss Eden so she could speak with her. The two were in the banquet hall of the Snow Mountain Hall. After hearing the news, Claire pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. When she finally spoke, she asked:
"Shad, the Fatu people owe you, and I owe you too. How should we repay you?"
Outsiders have never liked cheesy and disgusting phrases like "pay back with the rest of your life," so he replied:
"When I go to see your parents, I mean when I formally meet your parents, you must remember to protect me and not let them hit me."
Hearing that Shad was afraid of being beaten by ordinary people, Claire looked like she wanted to laugh, but her eyes welled up with tears as she tried to suppress it.
"The Witch Council has been devoured by you to this extent. I think Speaker Isabella's defeat was not unjustified."
With red eyes, she hugged Xia De, then turned her head to look around, making sure that her white-haired apprentice wasn't there this time, before kissing Xia De.
After lunch, Shad took the black bullet to Grandma Cassandra to discuss alchemy. At 1:30 p.m., Ms. White contacted Winnie for the first time since their last meeting to discuss the "Mark of the Great Sin".
Ms. White says that this afternoon, on the Old Continent coastline north of Falling Star Bay, in Carbong, Devon, Carsonrick, a 'pre-apocalyptic' twilight landscape will cover a third of the city. The erosion is centered in the eastern part of the city, and Ms. White reminds us to address the issue as soon as possible.
Furthermore, tonight at dusk, it will inform all current candidates about the seventh act.
"Is Kabang City populated?"
Luvia asked, and Sylvie and Miss Elizabeth were also beside Shad. Sylvie nodded with great concern:
"Although it can't compare to large cities like Velendale or Moon Bay, the population of Cabon City is definitely much larger than that of Time Wheel City. The United Kingdom of Carsenrick has three important port cities on the coastline of Falling Star Bay, one of which is Cabon City."
The news was immediately sent to the church, and the Orthodox Church, upon learning of it, was greatly alarmed—truly alarmed. Since the beginning of the story of "Whispering Verses" in 1853, only the Battle of Moon Bay had suffered the greatest casualties, but those casualties were ultimately averted by Shad's Maze Lock.
If mortals were to actually enter that twilight landscape, even if Shad possessed the Fate of Resurrection, he could not avert the death of any one of them.
With only two hours remaining until the "end of the world" announced by Ms. White, the church immediately organized a manpower to evacuate the city's population. Two hours was a long time to spread the message throughout the city, so the church had to resort to unconventional methods.
Moreover, this matter is definitely not just about evacuating people. The subsequent resettlement of refugees, the explanation to the outside world, and how to isolate the sunset scenery covering a third of the city are all very important issues.
Moreover, as a port city on the southern coast of Carsenrick, the chain reaction caused by the failure of the city's functions is no less damaging than the loss of population.
However, these are things to consider later. Right now, the most crucial thing is to figure out how to handle such a large area of "pre-apocalyptic" twilight scenery.
Iluna, as the chosen one of "Balance," has already proven her ability to stop the expansion of the Twilight Landscape, so this time the Church invited Emilia, the chosen one of Time. The elves, hearing that they were going to save a human city, were naturally happy to let Emilia prove herself, and Emilia, hearing that she would be working with Iluna, readily agreed.
Besides them, the Church also asked Shad to contact other chosen ones for help. However, Mr. Albert was still sealed and could not use his power much; the opportunity of the Red Butterfly Day could not be used today; Sister Daphne was still in the midst of death preparing to advance to the thirteenth ring, so the only people Shad could invite were the guardians of the earth.
Since delivering the gifts at the end of the year, Xia De has not seen them. In addition to being chosen ones, they also bear the responsibility of guarding the "Heart of the Earth" to maintain the stability of the earth, and cannot easily leave the Heart of the Earth.
That afternoon, after Shad entered the Heart of the Earth through the entrance beneath the Temple of the Night, the Guardians quickly understood why he had come. One by one, the souls dispersed and stood atop the black rocks or lava. This time, it was a woman who communicated with Shad:
"We do not have the same ability as the Chosen Ones, who can withstand the apocalypse by strength alone."
Although Iluna may not seem the strongest among the chosen ones, her power is almost enough to stabilize all calamities.
"There's no need to resist. We just need to slow down the speed at which that yellow sand blows toward the normal world, giving the church time to complete the spatial division. Moreover, Kabang City needs an earthquake of suitable strength with continuous aftershocks to give the city hall a reason to issue an emergency evacuation order."
So the Guardians temporarily left the Heart of the Earth. They could traverse long distances without spatial power, relying on reducing the distance between landmasses. In short, although the Guardians of the Earth arrived a little later than Emilia and Iluna, they still met up with them at the docks in Caban City.
Then an earthquake struck the coastal city. The city hall and the Carsonrick Army, which was urgently dispatched to the area, assisted in the evacuation of the entire city. The three chosen ones, relying on the location of the core area of "before the apocalypse" that the Association of Prophets had located, directly cast spells to control the unfolding of that dim, yellowish light.
Apart from them, no one else had the ability to intervene. Even the usually "omnipotent" Shad could only move within the sunset scenery, but could not stop its expansion.
It seemed impossible to evacuate the entire city in just two hours. Even with the earthquake, the "chemical plant leak," the wide-ranging illusions performed by "Master of Illusions" Chris Evans, and the church's rarely used but actually very convenient wide-ranging mental suggestion, the pressure to evacuate was still immense.
Although Shad couldn't offer much help, he still accompanied them to this coastal city located in the northern part of Fatummister Island. The core area where the "pre-apocalyptic" scenery appeared had already been evacuated immediately, and as the wind whipped up yellow sand and the dim yellow light appeared in a completely abnormal color, the three chosen ones retreated while casting spells.
The scales representing balance, the Holy Grail representing the earth, and the World Tree and clock face representing time—these three symbols surround that large area in a triangle, and these symbols of the power of the ancient gods indeed prevented the twilight landscape from expanding rapidly.
Shad came with Sylvie this time. The two stood on a rooftop not far away, looking ahead. Ellie, on the other hand, curiously hid behind Shad, observing the surrounding city scenery. This was the first time the little unicorn had left Fatummont Island and seen the world of this era.
The Church's Ring Warlocks are rapidly setting up a spatial division ritual. The Church of the Five Gods has also dispatched thirteen Ring Warlocks, but they can't do much either, currently watching the three Chosen Ones cast their spells from different directions.
Suddenly, the sky above them darkened, and a huge silver dragon flew over. Then, a middle-aged man dressed in a scholar's white robe and wearing glasses appeared on the roof where Shad and Sylvie were.
The appearance of the 13th-ringed dragon "Scroll Wings" from Dragon Island must have been pre-arranged with the church. Although Shad didn't know the reason for its appearance, he still greeted this ancient dragon, who, according to Mr. Albert, worked as a librarian on Dragon Island.
"good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Summoner of Gods, good afternoon, Great Witch from the Witch Council."
"Ang~"
Ellie called out to remind the other party of her presence, and the silver dragon laughed:
"Good afternoon, pure white sacred beasts. It is a pleasure to see your beautiful forms even in the Sixth Era."
Aside from his unusual hair color, the silver dragon in human form showed absolutely no resemblance to a dragon. He also glanced at the area where the three chosen ones were casting spells in the distance, then said to Shad:
"We have been wanting to meet you ever since the Battle of Moon Bay last year, but we haven't been able to find the opportunity. Later, we contacted the successor of the 'Dragon King of Light,' but that gentleman was unwilling to reveal your information."
"Dragon King of Light" is another name for the ancient god "Radiant Dragon," just as "Silver Moon Sage" is also known as the moon god or the moon sage.
"What can I do for you?"
Shad asked curiously. He had seen another thirteen-ringed dragon from Dragon Island on the battlefield of Vistalin, but he hadn't had much contact with this "Scroll Wings".
The silver dragon, who looked like a refined middle-aged man, then said:
"You have the blessing of the fourth son of the Dragon King and helped the Dragon King of Light choose his successor. We are all very curious about you. In the mouths of human ring mages, you are a very powerful being, and you proved this in the Battle of Vesta Grove last year."
This time, we came to the southern island because of the future Elf Queen. Our chance encounter with you in this city has no ulterior motive; we simply wanted to express goodwill from Dragon Island—what the elves can do, the dragons can do too.
