Chapter 2489: The Aftermath of Spread
In addition to the sophisticated spatial manipulation, long-distance teleportation is naturally no problem for the current princess and writer. Shade's "Raglai Leap" is still limited to a range of 20m, but Leicia and Dorothy can bring people directly from the cabin to the deck.
This is not how the girls described themselves, but they really did it.
Because the ship did not need a lookout, there was no one on the deck late at night. The girls holding the railings had their backs illuminated by the moon, their butterfly-wing "tattoos" became more vivid, and their milky white skin seemed to be glowing. Xia De did not really want to describe in detail what they did that night.
In short, Dorothy and Lesia were unable to get up in time for breakfast on Monday morning. At the breakfast table, Shad noticed that Miss Elizabeth looked at him with strange eyes from time to time.
Xia De didn't take it too seriously at first, but while eating, he suddenly looked up and asked:
"By the way, Miss Elither, do you know immediately what is happening in every corner of this ship?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girls who were talking at the table suddenly became quiet. Only Miss Feliana and Fiona had normal expressions. Shade knew without thinking that the quiet girls were recalling what they had done recently on the ship.
The blue-eyed boat girl was still eating her breakfast:
"Of course not all the time. Otherwise, I would know the movements of the entire ship at any time. How can I concentrate on doing other things?"
Then the atmosphere at the table became lively again, but the boat girl said again:
"But at night, to ensure safety, my perception range will cover the deck and noisy places. Well, that's about it, so don't worry about my invasion of privacy when living on the ship. I don't have that hobby."
Luvia saw Shad's embarrassed expression and was quite curious about what he did with Leicia and Dorothy last night:
"Maybe I can ask Miss Elither about it later."
The end of the Moon Bay War also meant that Xia De's days of leaving home and living in Moon Bay officially ended. Although there were still many things to deal with in this city, most of them had nothing to do with Xia De. This time he was indeed a little tired.
But at least he couldn't rest today, as the meeting with Mr. Albert was a very important matter.
However, Miss Feliana and Fiona were still here, and Shade felt that it would be a bit rude to leave them alone. But the witches told Shade not to worry about it:
"We will entertain both ladies."
Miss Aurora assured.
Miss Carina couldn't stay in Moon Bay for too long, so she had to return to Tobesk today. At the breakfast table, she asked who else wanted to go back with her, and while the "Red Butterfly Day" was not over, and when Leicia and Dorothy got up, Grace and Helen could open the ultra-long-distance portal with them.
She thought that Ajelina, who had been away from home for a long time, would want to go back with her, but the little princess hid behind Emilia without making a sound.
The Duchess shook her head slightly and did not insist on taking her away:
"I'll ask Resia and Dorothy if they want to go together. They should be going back. Tifa, you don't have to go back with me. Stay and go back to Tobesk with Ajelina. But remember, don't stay in Moon Bay for too long. Go home as soon as possible."
"Yes, ma'am."
But everyone knew that these words were actually spoken to Ajelina.
The Belindel Manor that collapsed yesterday has also been restored to its original state due to the time reversal of Shade's maze. The Belindel Manor was not seriously damaged in yesterday's disaster, the house was intact, and the ordinary people and maids in the manor also avoided the abnormal light burst due to early arrangements.
Miss Belindel was gone early this morning. The post-disaster reconstruction of Yuewan City and the liquidation of the Hawthorne and Black families all depended on her. Hawthorne and Black's transaction with the Dragon Feast Cult had now been proven in the process of the church's crackdown on cultists.
As for whether the seven major families in Yuewan will become five major families, or whether two major families will never recover but still retain some dignity, this is not something Xia De should care about.
"The legal authority over Moon Bay is left to Miss Belindel. She can do whatever she wants with it."
[Aren't you worried that once the two countries go to war, your princess and duke will blame you for delaying the Northern Kingdom's war opportunity?]
Xia De walked out of the manor house, stood at the door, and stretched lazily facing the rising sun:
"In my opinion, it is better to turn this place into a buffer zone between the two countries and a black market for trade between the two countries by default than to let it belong directly to any country."
Shade did not enter the city from the dock, but from the Belindel Manor. The day after the earthquake and tsunami, the city immersed in sorrow and pain was still functioning normally.
Now that the white fog has dissipated, the prosperous Moon Bay is returning to its former trajectory. Standing at the gate of the Belindel Manor and looking forward, the vitality and vigor are rejuvenating. Looking up, the huge sacrificial field above the clouds is still high in the sky.
Of course, it takes extremely strong perception to see it amidst the numerous illusions.
This sacrificial site is now ownerless. After all, its original owner, the Dragon Feast Cult, will not claim its sovereignty over any church. Since it is ownerless and quite valuable, naturally all forces want to get it.
The Five Gods Church, the three major colleges, and even the [Prophet Association] have shown interest in it. When Shade chose to walk to Spider Alley in the lower city, he also recalled that at the banquet last night, Vanessa said that the [Witch Council] was also interested in the sacrificial site.
The [Witch Council] also made great efforts in this war of gods, because the "Glory Messenger" and Adele, who was unknown to others, were counted as members of the council. They explained to the speaker of this era that Adele was a helper found by the "God Summoner", so the [Witch Council] should also get corresponding benefits after the war.
Shade felt that it was unlikely that the Council would be able to obtain full ownership of the Dragon Feast Shrine, but if they really wanted it, he wouldn't mind using his identity as a "Godcaller" to help them get it.
After all, the sacrificial site was theoretically the spoils of the "God-Caller", and he was the one who contributed the most.
This time, Shade brought Mia with him. He did not rush to Spider Alley, but watched the situation of Moon Bay after the disaster. Therefore, when he arrived at the destination, it was already 9:30 on Monday morning.
Mr. Albert was working in the autopsy room just as he left his message. Because the workload was heavy, there were other coroners in the autopsy room. Mr. Albert asked Shade to wait for a moment, then washed his hands and sprayed perfume to cover up the strange smell, and then went to the Spider Hotel with Shade.
The Lower Town was the most severely damaged in this "earthquake", but because Shad took care of Spider Alley when he went back in time, the inn still exists.
Seeing Mr. Chad and Mr. Albert come in, the aproned innkeeper, who was familiar with them, breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm so glad you two are okay too."
For this purpose, he specially gave a glass of rye beer to Shade and Mr. Albert. After the innkeeper left with the tray, Shade asked the other side of the table:
"Is he from your Eternal Light?"
M. Albert shook his head slightly.
"I rarely recruit people I know to join Eternal Light. This is totally unnecessary. Besides, Mr. Drax has a good life, so there is no need for him to join us."
"Mr. Drax" is the name of the Spider Inn's owner. He has never complained that the existence of the autopsy room affects his business. After all, most of the guests who can choose such a remote hotel will not care about this.
"Is Mr. Bernhardt okay? I haven't visited him yet."
Shade asked about their mutual friend, and the coroner nodded:
"In yesterday's battle, our people also suffered heavy losses. I met Armand last night. Although he was injured, he seemed fine. The wanted warrants and rewards for us have disappeared on the black market. We all think it's all worth it.
He is probably meeting with Marquis Mossen, Captain Rudolph, Lady Jude and Miss Rice. There are still many things to deal with in Yuewan. Although this matter has come to an end, the way of life of the people in the local area must change a little. After all, from last autumn to this summer, this has happened twice in less than a year. "
Xia De knew what he wanted to say, so he pointed in the direction of the ceiling:
"How do other people react to this?"
Mr. Albert naturally understood what Chad meant:
"No reaction, this is not something a mortal should care about."
But after a pause he said:
"If Armand succeeds in the second ritual, his status in the church will be greatly improved. I think as long as he survives, there is no doubt that he will join the Elders Council in the future. As for..."
He also pointed upward:
"Mr. Watson, this news has spread throughout the material world. After all, although there were not many ring sorcerers in the sacrificial field yesterday, there were definitely quite a few in the Moon Bay area. They took the news away. Now no matter which city you go to, this is definitely the hottest topic in the black market."
The subsequent impact of the Moon Bay War should last for many, many years. The four evil gods descended together, which was something that had never happened in the Sixth Era. Most people did not know why the righteous gods did not descend this time. They only knew that none of the righteous gods appeared in the "Moon Bay War".
This is a huge challenge to the dignity and ruling power of the Church of the Five Gods, so the church will definitely show an extremely tough attitude in recent months to respond to this matter.
In short, although the incident was over, the waves had just begun to spread from Yuewan. The war between gods had always been a major event that could affect the entire world, and there were too many "actors" appearing this time.
