Chapter 2445: Contract with Light
The black-haired coroner's eyes moved to the card surface:
"This is the reward I promised you when I invited you to solve this matter. If you weren't here this time, I'm afraid things would be a little more troublesome. I don't want [Eternal Light] to easily provoke [Gray Gloves] or [MI6], let alone provoke them at the same time."
Standing under the bridge, he looked at the river flowing towards the southern ocean:
"Eternal Light is still very weak now. I cannot let it get involved with a large organization like the Light Worshipers' Study Society, nor can it cause worldly trouble."
"So do you see that there is something strange about this card?"
Chateau asked again, and M. Albert smiled:
"Of course I can see it. Everyone has their own light, and I can see it clearly at a close distance. For example, the moonlight on you is so pure and charming, and the chosen one, Iluna Beas, has the blazing sun light.
The light from objects is weaker than that from living things, but I can still see some of it. And when I put this card in front of me, I can even directly see the tides of spirits and elements that permeate the world.
For me, the goal that so many fortune-tellers and high-level sorcerers dream of is just a matter of picking up this card."
A few chosen people can get special abilities from the "Vanguard Card", such as Joey Barton. What he and Mr. Albert have in common seems to be that they both had wonderful experiences in the New World.
"Then why don't you keep it?"
Shade asked again, and Ptolemy Albert shook his head:
"If I say I want to use this card in exchange for you, 'Godcaller', becoming my friend, do you agree?"
"We are already friends."
"No, you regard me as a friend only because of Armand's existence. You and him are the so-called true friends. Our relationship is indeed friendly enough, but it is still not enough. Mr. Watson, you want to talk to me about the Chosen One, right?"
Shade glanced at him, and then looked at the Taton River flowing in the fog. There was a shallow beach under the bridge, and on the wide river there were still ships preparing to go out to sea. At a glance, the lights on the large ships in the distance looked like the eyes of sea monsters.
"Yes."
Shade nodded:
"The Dragon Feast Cult's God-Descent Ceremony is imminent. Even if I am the so-called 'God-Caller' this time, I have no confidence in defeating that god. Mr. Albert, I won't beat around the bush - when the Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site appears again, are you ready to face your fate? That evil god tried to gain the power of the ancient gods, but the power of the ancient gods should be able to defeat him."
After a sigh, the coroner asked Shade:
"You know what strange things I've encountered in the New World?"
He didn't seem to be deliberately changing the subject, so Shade nodded:
"I have investigated your past through other channels, and I apologize to you here. Yes, I know that you encountered a dragon in the dense forest of the valley during your service in the New World."
"That's not a dragon."
The middle-aged vampire's voice suddenly became very soft. Even if Shade was right next to him, he would have to listen carefully to hear it:
"It was a beam of light, and to this day I can't describe the experience I had at that time.
A beam of light that had been traveling through the material world since the distant past hit us that day. Many of my colleagues melted in the light on the spot. I was also in the attack range, but strangely I was not assimilated by the light. "
This should be the so-called "adventure". When a stranger first arrives in this world, he looks forward to it, but later he no longer looks forward to it, because his adventure is behind him.
【Thanks. 】
she said softly.
"That ancient light merged into my body. It existed in the material world for too long, and the information recorded in it turned into pure spirit and became a part of me. As a result, I gained power, discovered my talents, and learned about the chosen ones."
He smiled:
"When I first met Armand in my youth, I was not yet a fortune teller. It was that incident that made me see the thread of history and destiny, and that made me become a fortune teller. So, I lied to you, but Armand did not lie to you. He did not know that I was a fortune teller."
"The Unknown Level Relic [Hope Diamond] is in your hands?"
Mr. Charles asked again, and M. Albert nodded:
"I understand the Rite of the Chosen and the Whispering Verses, Mr. Watson, you don't have to explain them to me. But before I agree, can you answer a question for me?"
"Of course, please."
"Will you sacrifice yourself if necessary?"
Shade was startled. Not long ago, under the tree of the Forgotten Church in the Randall River Valley, the Guardian had asked the same question.
This time, Shad's answer was still the same:
"No, I don't live alone. There are people who need me. I can't just die like this."
He knew this was not the correct answer, but outsiders never liked to lie about such questions.
Ptolemy Albert gazed at the Taton River in the mist:
"But what if justice requires your sacrifice?"
Shade shook his head:
"I never think I am righteous, Mr. Albert. I only do what I want to do. I don't believe in the nonsense that 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility."
"But it seems to me that you just don't want to bear the weight of the word 'justice'."
He finally looked at Xia De again. The vampire's special eyes looked directly into Xia De's eyes. The middle-aged man was very serious at the moment:
"【Eternal Light】 also needs me. Do you know what your invitation means to me?"
"Of course I know. You have to complete the trial at the site of the God's Descent ceremony, perform the rituals of the ancient gods, and then face an evil god. Yes, this is dangerous."
The coroner nodded slightly:
"So do you think I should agree to it?"
This time, Xia De finally did not answer immediately. He was unwilling to sacrifice himself, and naturally could not force others to sacrifice themselves:
"I do not know."
"Well, let's make a contract. No, not the kind of contract you made with Marquis Mossen, but my contract."
The six life rings behind him slowly emerged. This close contact allowed Shad to see clearly the four core spirit runes of Ptolemy Albert: Enlightenment [Blood], Enlightenment [Thorns], Enlightenment [First Light], and Enlightenment [Monster].
As the core spiritual rune - [Newborn Light] lit up, his hands also glowed faintly.
It was not the special light diffused in the fog, nor was it the four-color spiritual light. It was the purest and most primitive light. Just by looking at it, Xia De almost felt that his skin was tending to transform into the form of light.
He held her hand, and "she" beside his ear gently reminded him:
[Outsider, you have come into contact with the light of the First Age left by the ancient god "Dragon of Shining Light", and you have felt a miracle.]
[Outsider, your magic "Ancient Voice" is triggered:]
[In the first era, the ancient dragon god used his own scales, the first light, the courage of mortals, the violence of the first fire, and the hope for a new world to create the world's first dragon. He hoped that his eldest son would help him sort out the light of the world and manage the dragon clan, but the eldest son eventually went astray because of his greed for power, and was deprived of his "light" and name by the dragon god. This is the "nameless eldest son." ]
"So, this beam of light from Mr. Albert is"
【It is just one of the thousands of rays of light. 】
[Outsider, you have come into contact with the power of the ancient gods. Are you willing to make a promise with the chosen one in the name of the light of the God of Light? ]
Mr. Ptolemy Albert, who was shaking hands with Shad, asked seriously:
"What is your real name in the name of light?"
Most contract abilities require real names, so Shade was not surprised:
"Shad Suellen Hamilton."
The coroner was startled. He obviously knew the name. Even though this was a very serious occasion, he still asked:
"What? Hamilton? You're the one from Tobesk. Sorry, this is really... ahem. In the name of light, Shad Hamilton, are you willing to make an appointment with me?
If I, Ptolemy Justus Albert, become the chosen one and die in the Battle of Moon Bay, you will give up part of your power and merge into the [Eternal Light];
If you, Shad Sullen Hamilton, died in the Battle of Moon Bay while protecting me, I will give a portion of my light to those closest to you;
If we both survive the ensuing war, we will exchange the strengths we need most."
Xia De raised his eyebrows and easily understood his intention:
"You're interested in my moonlight? You want to exchange your participation in the war for my moonlight?"
"I just want a ray of light. This is not a disadvantage for you, after all, what I took out is the light of the ancient god."
The coroner answered. While Shade was hesitating, "she" in his ear said:
【Promise him.】
"Okay, I agree to this agreement."
Then the ancient light in Mr. Albert's hand wrapped around Shad's hand, and the ancient light only partially merged into Shad's body, making him feel that his strength was slightly enhanced.
When this simple but unbreakable agreement came to an end, Xia De asked curiously:
"What is Eternal Light? I thought it was just the name of an organization."
"I gave the light I hold a new name after I met the Eternal Light organization in Moon Bay. If I die, the light I met in the New World will leave again. Although the ancient God of Justice has left, His light is still running in the world, and I will not be the last person chosen by the light. Just like justice is eternal, we just can't notice it."
The coroner devoutly drew the holy emblem of the ancient god on his chest, and Shade did not dwell on it:
"So how much do you know about the Ceremony of the Chosen One? I mean the content of the ceremony?"
"The location is the Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site. The ceremony involves drawing a sword, or rather, forging a sword. This requires five ancient relics and the seven dragon scales that have been passed down by the seven major local families. No, this is not the reason why I chose to stay in Moon Bay after retiring and returning to the Old Continent. When I came here, the light had not yet given me this knowledge."
