Chapter 2491 The Answer to the Diamond
That morning, Chad and Mr. Albert talked about many things. At eleven o'clock in the morning, they parted at the door of the Spider Hotel.
Xia De put his hands in his pockets, leaning sideways in the bright sunshine, watching the coroner in a smock walk towards the dark sewer entrance of the autopsy room. Maybe it was because of the warm sunlight, or maybe it was because the war of gods had ended and he felt relieved, he was in a really good mood at the moment:
"Luvia probably won't leave Moon Bay right away. Next time I come to visit Mr. Albert, Luvia will probably come with me."
The purple-eyed girl must want to talk to the seventh chosen one in person before returning home.
What are you going to do next?
The gentle wind blew on the side of her face, and "she" asked softly.
Shade turned his head to look at the other end of Spider Alley, then raised his hand and touched Mia on his shoulder:
"The mermaid is willing to help me, but the price is that after everything is over, I have to go find her and she will give me a task. If I remember correctly, she also asked me to bring a full bottle of pink perfume as a gift."
【Wasn’t it almost full last night? 】
There seemed to be something else in her smile. Xia De shook his head:
"I think she meant the concentrated perfume that glows, and I don't want to do anything that requires much thought today. The battle of Moon Bay is over, and the summer of 1854 is also over. I want to rest for a while, yes, rest."
When they returned to Belindel Manor, Carina had already returned to Tobesk with a few maids. The only one who left was Lesia, as the Red Butterfly Day was over and she had nothing else to do.
As for Dorothy, she stayed behind. She wanted to go back to Moon Bay with Luvia, Ajelina and the others. According to the writer, after finally arriving at the summer resort on the west coast, she wanted to experience the exotic customs and enjoy the last moments of summer to make up for the recent busyness.
So although it seems that Lecia is gone, she is actually always there.
Of course, Helen and Grace have returned to Midhill Castle, and while it remains a mystery how long the sisters can stay away, they are not false in saying that they are still bound to Mount Sikar.
"Shad."
Before lunch that day, Hillis found Shad, who had just returned to the ship and was about to go to the "Princess Trading Partner" to see if Ms. Anne Bonny and the others had safely survived the disaster, and handed him a ticket.
The young blonde girl had a cheerful smile on her face, as if she had encountered something great:
"This is for you. The Golden Dawn Opera Troupe probably won't leave Moon Bay until autumn, but I don't think you'll be active in Moon Bay very often soon. So tomorrow night, the troupe will prepare a performance just for you. Yes, Vanessa will be there herself."
She put the ticket directly into Xia De's pocket and even patted his pocket to show that it was safe.
"Remember to come."
"Was Vanessa's performance the same dance she did alone when we were in Randall Valley?"
Xia De asked softly, his mind unconsciously reappearing the sweaty solo dance.
Hillis found Shade's expression very funny:
"What are you thinking about? The opera troupe wants to perform for you to reward you, their great contribution. Not only Vanessa and the girls in the troupe, but I will also be on stage. But don't go to the wrong place. The venue is not the Eddington Opera House, but the indoor theater on this 'Glorious Messenger'. Miss Elither agreed to lend us the place."
"But are you really not going to invite anyone else? If we're on a boat, we can invite them too."
"Vanessa said this is a thank you gift for the person who made the greatest contribution. There's no need to think too much about it."
She said with a smile, looked around, and made sure that no one else on the deck was looking at her, then she tiptoed slightly and kissed Shade on the side of his face:
"Remember to come tomorrow night. We have prepared a surprise for you then."
Tomorrow's performance was not a dance, but an opera written and performed by the opera troupe. But Hillis was mysterious and refused to reveal the name of the opera, only saying that Shade would definitely like it.
Now that Karina and Lecia have returned to Tobesk, Shad also returned home that afternoon after not returning all day, and stored the relics on his body that he would not need in the future in a hidden space in the basement.
He will still spend the night in Moon Bay tonight. After all, Miss Feliana and Fiona, who came from afar, are still on the "Glorious Messenger", and Shade feels that he cannot neglect them.
While placing the relics that afternoon, he thought of the cultists' [Sacrificial Bone Sword] and wondered who had it now:
"After all, it's a sage-level relic. If the church takes it, they should compensate us, right?"
He thought to himself as he stood beside the statue of the ancient god - the Original Rift, and poured out a sparkling diamond that was half the size of his palm from the drawstring cloth bag and let it lie on the palm of his right hand.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed, then lay on Shad's shoulder and looked at the beautiful diamond curiously.
The unknowable-level relic [Hope Diamond] has a total of 58 facets and is crystal clear. Even in a completely dark environment, it will continue to reflect light from an unknown source.
Its appearance is not much different from a normal diamond except that it is a bit larger. Compared with the simple [Moon in the Water] and [Time of Rewind], this Unknown-level relic does not look particularly magical.
Xia De kept looking at the diamond towards the light emitted by the statue, and finally saw a line of tiny words from the crystal interior of the diamond:
【Hope lies ahead.】
This ancient language is called "Mieser", which is also the language Adele asked Shad to use when asking about diamonds. Shad didn't know "Mieser" originally, but fortunately Professor Evans of the "Lightless Sea" taught him a simple Mieser translation word comparison table.
The only known property of this relic is that it gives hope to people who are facing despair. This property does not involve the "Miseric language", so the relic actually has more than one function.
Shade recalled his knowledge, and then asked the diamond in the not very fluent Miseric language:
"How to stop Luvia Anat's conspiracy?"
He thought there would be no result, or just an ordinary scene like him and Luvia hugging each other, or living together. But when one of the 58 facets stopped radiating brilliant light and showed a picture, Shad squinted his eyes and looked at it for less than a second, then he hugged the diamond with both hands in surprise.
The picture was blocked, and Shade immediately turned to look at the cat on his shoulder. Mia should have seen the picture shown in the diamond just now, but fortunately it was licking its paws out of boredom at this time.
"Maybe I saw it wrong, look again."
After releasing my hand, I looked at the dimmed surface again. Sure enough, the image inside the transparent diamond continued. It was not an image, but a moving scene.
The scene takes place in the bedroom of the house, probably at night, with no clothes on. Shad is holding Luvia in his arms, and the picture shown in the cut is very complete, revealing only Shad's upper body and Luvia's two hands held by Shad and stretched behind her back.
But Xia De could tell at a glance what the two were doing, it was so easy to guess.
He took a deep breath and threw the diamond directly into the small bag provided by Mr. Albert. The bag was full of sand and dust, and Shade made sure that the diamond was completely buried in the sand and dust before he tied the bag.
The only practical way to contain the Hope Diamond is to bury it in the Sands of Time. Only time can erase hope, Mr. Albert told him.
"Is this really not an illusion? Or have I triggered the negative properties of this relic?"
"She" smiled in Shade's ear:
[It's not an illusion. Although the whispering element of the relic is powerful, it has no signs of losing control next to the ancient god statue.]
"Well, I'm not doubting the result of the Hope Diamond. It probably means that I can continue to help Long-haired Luvia repair her soul, or that I can use my emotions to keep her company so that she won't have any weird thoughts, but..."
Xia De touched the cat again and asked in embarrassment:
"How am I going to tell Adele this?"
[Just say what you see. You can't lie to her, right? ]
"She" answered with a smile, and Xia De knew that this must be a joke on him.
Fortunately, the "Key of Y'k'trathil" has been disabled for a month. This does not mean that the key cannot be opened from the Sunday of the tenth day of the Flower Moon to the tenth day of the Harvest Moon, but that the key cannot be opened during the entire "Harvest Moon".
Therefore, the next time Shad saw Adele in his past life and told her the result would be nearly two months later. By then, he should have thought of a way to answer this question:
"You have to trust the wisdom of my future self. But speaking of which, Adele left before I could even say thank you to her. She didn't even see Miss Felena and Fiona."
I felt a little melancholy when I thought about this, but then I asked myself:
"The Dragon Feast Shrine above Moon Bay is now intact, so can I use the Word of Ascension again there to bring Adele back? Or use the Word of Ascension to call the other witches over?"
[Not possible for now. The continuous summoning rituals, the chosen rituals, and your sublimation words have seriously consumed the power of the sacrificial site.]
“How long will it take to recover?”
【Maybe next month, maybe 100 years from now. 】
"She" did not give a definite answer, but at least the sacrificial site had not been destroyed. In other words, as long as the end of the world had not yet come, sooner or later, Shade would still be able to use his low-level sublimation language there to bring Adele back to the world before the end of the world.
