Chapter 2899: Nest and Rabbit
"Some people from the Priory do go to the woodlands. We have people in Willendel City. They are also engaged in black market business similar to mine. If you are interested, I can introduce you to them."
Seeing that Shade no longer mentioned the devil, Old John lowered his head and continued to deal with the pocket watch. Shade asked curiously:
"I was just about to ask, this pocket watch is a relic, right? Can relics be disassembled?"
"To be precise, the real relic is just the gem embedded in the mechanical core of the pocket watch - the clerical-level relic [Heart of Flowing Light]. Space storage relics are rare, right? This is a time storage item that can be used to store time, or to steal time.
Place the gem in the pocket watch, and then you can steal other people's time and store it in it, so that you can live longer. Unfortunately, once this relic is used, it must not be taken off, otherwise you will lose as much time as you use it. There are many relics with similar effects, and this one has fewer side effects. "
With a light click, the tweezers in Old John's right hand steadily picked up the white gemstone the size of two grains of rice. Shade pushed the small box beside him to him, and the gemstone was immersed in the rice paste in the box.
"You know, detective. In the past month, the number of out-of-control time relics found in various parts of the Old World is more than ten times higher than in a normal year. In Tobesk alone, the number of time accidents that have occurred in the past two weeks has exceeded that in the past half century.
Do you know what kind of stores are on either side of my store? "
He suddenly asked, and Xia De certainly knew:
"On the left are a grocery store and a used bookstore, and on the right are a used clothing store and a closed-down flower shop that has never been open since I met you."
"Yes, the flower shop closed down three years ago. The original owner was murdered while walking at night. The shop was later inherited by her nephew, but I don't know why it has never been dealt with. Just this Tuesday, it suddenly opened and turned into a spice shop selling low-quality spices.
Several of our neighbors went to visit and found a newspaper on the counter that was more than 1799 years old, and the owner thought it was .
Old John shook his head and sighed, but the matter should have been resolved. When Xia De left the pawn shop, he took a special look and saw that the bankrupt flower shop was still closed.
Centered on the most unstable region of time in the material world, Vesta Glades, the consequences of time instability are gradually affecting the entire world. This is exactly the same as before, the first manifestation of the disaster is the frequent appearance of related relics, followed by various abnormal phenomena symbolizing the disaster that spread throughout the world and became more and more serious.
If the seal of Vista Woods is not properly handled in the end, not only will the entire forest area be completely lost in the chaos of time, but perhaps it will be true as Long-haired Luvia once said, that monsters from different eras will come to the present time through that "time hole".
After saying goodbye to Old John and returning home, the princess who had heard that Shade had returned to Tobesk appeared again. However, this time, Leisia did not escape from the banquet or the meeting, so she had more time:
"Shad!"
Her Royal Highness opened her arms to Shade and gave her a passionate kiss.
When Shad returned to the Accordion Inn with the sword and the cat, Miss Danister, who had gone out in the morning, had already returned. When Shad saw her, she was watching the light and shadow of the story of "Dragon and Man" on the wooden board again in the hotel room with Flora.
"Flora, didn't you already see it this morning?"
Xia De asked curiously, but the latter still stared at the story projected in the room:
"But it's fun isn't it?"
It has been confirmed by Saint Byrons and the Church of Nature that the "Blade of the Sky" from the early Sixth Era came to the local area to deal with the black dragon in the summer of 226th year of the Common Calendar.
The dragon egg in the light and shadow first appeared in the winter at the end of 227. Although there was a difference of one and a half years, it was completely consistent.
During dinner, the red-haired girl shared the information provided by the church with everyone. Although the incident that happened sixteen centuries ago involved the Thirteen-Ring Warlock, the handling process was quite unremarkable.
The cause of the incident was that a black dragon was observed flying from overseas in the eastern part of the Old World. After tracking it, it was found that it finally landed in the Vesta Forest. Considering the size of the black dragon, the church at that time believed that it was an adult dragon, so in order to prevent any accidents, the thirteenth ring paladin was sent to deal with it.
It took him half a month to find the dragon in the forest, which seemed to be preparing for a growth period of sleep. The battle between the two ended with the victory of the thirteen-ring warlock, but he did not kill the dragon. Instead, he contacted the church and sent it back to the east coast of the old continent, letting it fly back to the direction it came from.
According to Mr. Astraea, the Blade of the Sky, that mission was just mediocre among all the missions he had ever performed. Although he had experienced the battle, the Black Dragon was obviously not strong enough.
After he defeated the dragon, he did check the nest that the black dragon had just built, but he did not find any other creatures in the nest.
"That's a male black dragon. Since it's an adult, it's definitely in its breeding period."
Miss Danister mentioned this:
"So it seems that the black dragon found a mate in the forest, but did not intend to let it live in its nest. After the black dragon was expelled from the Old World by the church, the unknown creature laid the egg and abandoned it for unknown reasons.
Judging from the size of the dragon egg seen in the light and shadow, its mother would not be an ordinary creature. The Vesta Forest in the early Sixth Era was much more desolate than it is today. The alien creatures active in this forest back then are hard for us to imagine today. "
Although the black dragon was sent away in 226, the Paladins did not destroy the dragon's nest, but sealed it up. Since there have been no rumors of "huge nests of unknown life forms" in the local area over the years, the dragon's nest should still exist.
While the church was sharing information, Miss Danister also revealed that the dragon beasts of today are likely the descendants of the black dragons of the past. The church has organized a team this afternoon to enter the woods in the evening to search for the dragon's nest, hoping to find clues from the dragon's nest that were not found that year.
"So now there are two valuable nests in the woods. One is the dragon's nest from 226, and the other is the nest from 1499 when the dragon beast made a deal with the devil. I don't know which one will be found first."
Ajelina said while counting on her fingers:
"But the lair from 1499 may provide us with the traces of that dragon beast, so what value does the dragon lair from 226 have?"
Luvia answered her question:
"If we know what its parent body is, we might be able to think of a way to deal with it. Even if it has been deformed, as long as that body is still its own, it will definitely still be affected by the bloodline."
After dinner, Shad went to talk to Karina who was lying in bed for a while, then left Mia with Tifa and went into the forest again alone.
Dr. Schneider did not lose control tonight. When Shad knocked on the door and walked into his wooden house in the dense forest, the doctor was carefully preparing a roasted rabbit, brushing sauce on the golden rabbit meat with a small brush in his hand.
"Why are you still eating so late?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the doctor sitting on the small stool in front of the fireplace laughed:
"As expected, even you didn't see it, Detective. Please take a closer look."
Xia De sat on another wooden bench in front of the fireplace, stretched his head to stare at the skewered rabbit meat, and then said in surprise:
“Isn’t this a rabbit?”
"Of course not. This is a sacrifice I made with my soul power. Tomorrow's ceremony requires a soul as a sacrifice, but I can't really make a soul to sacrifice, right?"
As he spoke, he brushed the "rabbit meat" a few times with a small brush, so the light brown stuff on the brush was definitely not the sauce:
"Why are you here to see me so late? If it's not urgent, you should tell me tomorrow."
Shade turned his eyes away from the fireplace:
"Doctor, if I still want to find [Reward for Greed], that is, the 'Devil of Wish-Zatanna', can you help me call it over?"
He briefly described the story of the pitch-black dragon beast. The doctor sighed after hearing the story:
“It seems that this business is generous and does not play tricks, but it makes a lot of money. Although it chooses wisdom instead of soul, for that soul, that wisdom is the most valuable thing.
No problem, I can find it again, and I knew at the time that I might need its power and knowledge in the future, but I couldn't snap my fingers and make it appear in front of us instantly."
The doctor asked Xia De for a piece of paper and pen, wrote half a page of text on it, and drew a not very complicated ritual array:
“Although it can no longer be considered an evil spirit or demon after it became a relic, we can still summon its projection and communicate with it using the method of summoning demons.
When the time comes, you can tell it that I am looking for it, and it will not dare to play tricks. Of course, the real demon summoning ritual is very evil and blasphemous, and I don’t think you will use it, so I modified it for you to ensure that there will be no problem when you summon its projection. "
"Can I do it myself?"
“Yes, you also know that I will be holding a ceremony tomorrow night, and you cannot be distracted before tomorrow night.
If the ritual is successful, I will go through a period of weakness to recuperate my strength, and you will not be able to wait that long. Don't worry, you have dealt with it before, and the ritual I give you is absolutely safe. "
