Chapter 2455 The Last Dragon Scale
After breakfast, they continued to wait. However, Iluna, who had attended the banquet last night and spent the night on the boat with Shad and Luvia, had to return to the church in the city first.
The chaos in the city did not subside even after the day came. There were already as many as eleven pillars of light gushing out from the ground into the sky, but there was still no sign of any god descending.
The battle in the open sea was even more intense than in the city. According to the information transmitted by the mermaids every twenty minutes, the sea surface in the storm zone outside Yuewan Port had even been dyed reddish brown. The storm zone was rapidly approaching Yuewan, and even the "Glorious Messenger" could clearly feel the ups and downs of the sea surface.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Carina at the Belindel Manor passed through the portal and sent a note to Shade:
"A bat just dropped this at the gate of the manor. I think it's for you."
The note was rolled into a cigarette shape, and when it was unfolded, the content inside was very simple:
[The divination has come to fruition. The final clue is in the fourth child's former lair - to the "despicable stranger."]
"The Despicable Stranger" was the nickname that the Marquis of Mossen gave him with a sense of humor when Shad, Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Albert were racing horses with him. So this note came from Mr. Albert. It seems that the "Silver Diamond of Hope" assisted in divination and did give him the result.
"The lair of the four?"
Luvia was right next to Shade, her purple eyes narrowed slightly:
"The four sons died at the end of the Fifth Epoch. Where can we find them now?"
She and Xia De, who also raised his eyebrows, looked at each other, and both knew that they were thinking of the same thing.
"Just to confirm it one last time."
Shade gave the last special coin [King's Egg] to Luvia. With the help of clues, even the content that was originally impossible to divine can now be divined.
Luvia did not flip the coin in front of everyone, but left the place temporarily. When she came back not long after, she couldn't suppress her smile:
"It turns out the answer is at the starting point. Xia De, we were right. The lair of the four sons is the ancient dragon's lair that you have to pass by every time!"
Her voice was trembling slightly. Apparently, divination was not as easy as she thought.
"Combining this divination, Bella's interpretation of the ancient books of the Eddington family, and our research in the past week, the ancestor witch of the Eddington family was the only one who did not take the dragon scale! After the battle at the end of the Fifth Era that established the current situation of Moon Bay, she left her share of the dragon scale in the lair of the strange dragon, so I couldn't predict it at first."
"I searched the place carefully, but there's nothing there."
Shade asked, Luvia's face turned pale, but she still smiled and held his hand:
"There is one most obvious place that you didn't search carefully, which is the most conspicuous place. The dragon altar! The last dragon scale is right under the altar!"
Xia De stood up immediately:
"I'll go now, throw the crystal slippers home, and come back immediately after getting the dragon scale."
When the others saw Shade standing up, they all looked over. Luvia briefly explained the situation, and the Countess handed him the Night Watch:
"The situation in the city is very complicated right now, so be careful along the way."
"rest assured."
As he said this, he looked at the cat on the table. Little Mia seemed to realize that Xia De was leaving, and she meowed and wanted to go with him.
"Ajelina."
Xia De suddenly said, and the little princess came over immediately:
"I'm here, I'm here!"
"Please help me take care of this cat."
"Ok."
After saying that, Shade was seen throwing out the crystal slippers and disappearing directly on the ship.
"Good morning~"
At No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, after greeting the maids who were looking at him in surprise, Shade quickly ran down the stairs. A few seconds later, he appeared in the Dragon's Nest in the northern suburbs of Yuewan.
“If I had known there was a problem earlier.”
After arriving in front of the altar, the altar felt the power of Shad. Even without Shad touching it with Fiona's gloves, with a clear cracking sound, the small mud dragon lying on the earth-colored dragon egg began to move.
The circular platform base radiated light upwards, and the egg slowly rose into the air and floated. The brown mud peeled off inch by inch on the surface of the eggshell, and the mud layer on the mud dragon's body was also peeling off.
Until the end, a golden dragon egg sparkling with golden light floated in the air on the golden platform, and a small golden dragon statue lay on the dragon egg, with its eyes closed but still looking alive.
Xia De ignored the activated altar, but bent down slightly, hugged the altar with both arms, and then held his breath -
"Hmm~ah!"
The altar remained motionless. Shade let go of his hand, stood up, stretched his body a few times, took off his coat, and activated [Power of the Red Dragon]:
"Come again!"
He bent down and hugged the altar. As his face gradually turned red, the altar actually rose up little by little. The strong miracle element of the altar itself prevented Shade from sensing what was under the altar, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time. He hadn't encountered such a heavy thing for a long time.
Compared with this, Dorothy and Carina stacked together weighed as little as a leaf.
【What a strange metaphor.】
"She" said with a smile in Shad's ear, and at this time Shad finally picked up the altar completely, then moved it aside and put it down again.
Boom~ With a loud noise, Xia De felt the ground beneath his feet shaking. The reason why he didn't push it to the side directly was that he was worried that the process would damage the things hidden underneath.
Holding his knees and breathing heavily for several times, Shade finally looked at the place where the altar was. After placing such a heavy object for many years, there was not much trace left on the ground. In that almost unnoticeable depression, a silver box was tilted and its corners were exposed.
He bent down and took out the palm-sized box, and then unexpectedly discovered that the box was made of mithril alloy:
"Although it's not pure mithril, and there won't be much mithril left after purification, it seems that the seven witches did make a fortune in the Dragon's Nest. The other spaces in the Dragon's Nest were destroyed before they left, right?"
The addition of mithril allowed the box to last for thousands of years without decaying. After the lock was opened with a click, a folded piece of letter paper and a small copper-colored dragon scale lay inside the box.
Xia De closed his eyes and took a deep breath:
"It's in hand."
He touched the dragon scale to confirm that it was genuine. Then he looked at the folded letter paper. After opening it, he saw the common language of the late Fifth Era written in beautiful handwriting. Because he had learned it in Saint Byron's course, Shade could understand the content even without the "Language Mastery" skill.
[Gaining means losing. The starry sky shows me the future. Those who come here to obtain the dragon scales, please protect Moon Bay and its people. We once pulled out the sword together. Please remember that rituals and power may not be important. What is important is your heart.]
"Fortune tellers always like to say things like this that seem to make sense, but are actually meaningless."
Shad dared to say this because Miss Luvia and Miss Belindel were not there, but there was really not much content on the note. At most, it explained that the ancestor of the Eddington family was the lady who served as the fortune teller in the "Seven Witch Team".
I turned the note over and surprisingly found two lines of small words:
[I named it Moon Bay. We originally wanted to name it "Sword Bay" to commemorate the sword we drew together.]
[However, the power of the ancient gods allowed me to glimpse my destiny in an instant. The name of the area comes not only from the shape of the coastline, but also from the bright moonlight that I saw rising from the dark waters.]
"Um"
Xia De still didn't feel that she had said anything valuable, so he just put the note away. After all, it was an antique. But the ancestor witch of the Eddington family was definitely not the thirteenth level, let alone a demigod, so she was definitely not the Witch Emperor. Xia De didn't know whether the [Witch Council] would be interested in the relics of ordinary ancient witches.
For safety reasons, Shade did not bring all the dragon scales off the "Glory Messenger". He did not want to have the dragon scales scattered all over the ground while fighting with others. Therefore, after finding the last dragon scale, if he wanted to know the information contained in the six dragon scales, he had to return to the ship.
"Can this be the venue for the Chosen One's Ceremony?"
Without leaving in a hurry, Xia De turned around and looked at the dragon's nest that he had become very familiar with in the past two months.
【Outsider, there is no power or symbolism here. 】
Her voice was still gentle. Xia De sighed:
"It seems that it can only be the Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from underground, and then the ground began to rise and fall like waves, and even Xia De almost fell down.
The stone wall above his head dropped dust and debris with a rustling sound. The ups and downs of the ground lasted for at least twenty seconds before it ended. Shade realized that it was an earthquake:
"Such a strong earthquake? What happened? Could it be that the God's Descent Ceremony has begun?"
Without wasting any more time, he leaped forward and transformed into a group of red butterflies, flying towards the higher exit of the dragon's nest.
Behind Shade, the surface of the golden dragon egg that was quietly floating above the altar suddenly cracked.
But nothing more.
Boom!
The strongest earthquake that Yuewan City had experienced in a thousand years occurred at 9:30 am on this Sunday, along with the twelfth column of light gushing into the sky like white mist.
In the Yuewan City Orphanage, the shaking building was shaking violently like the castle made of building blocks built by the children. Father Augustus, who was on the first floor packing clothes with the last few children who had not yet been evacuated, stared at the huge cracks on the wall with wide eyes, and then pounced on the three children in front of him amid the loud noise of the house collapsing.
The priest's eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness due to the severe pain in the back of his head.
