Chapter 2409 Opera Invitation
After a good night's sleep, Tuesday came, and Shad showed up at Margaret Manor early in the morning.
Because he arrived quite early, Margaret was even having breakfast with Miss Sylvia, so she called Shad and Mia to have another meal together.
Margaret seemed to have a particular fondness for sweets, and the dessert after dinner tasted even better than the main meal. After hearing what Shade said about Carmen Eddington, she nodded in agreement:
"The invitation is easy to deal with. So, you will also come to the party on Friday, right?"
"of course."
Xia De touched Mia:
"I have a feeling that this will probably be the last grand banquet we can attend before the Moon Bay incident ends. I hope we can have a good time then."
"Judging from the current weather, even though it's summer, I'm afraid we won't be able to open the outdoor area for the banquet."
Miss Sylvia looked out the window:
"Bella and Luvia, did you say when this fog will clear?"
She regarded the two female fortune tellers as "weather forecasters", but in fact predicting the weather is indeed the forte of prophets.
"They said that this fog did not just come from the 'edge of life and death', but also contained other components, and the results have not yet been analyzed."
Margaret sighed immediately:
"In the past few days, the Third Mental Hospital of Yuewan City and the 'Flower of Yuewan Sanatorium' have been filled with people. It seems that the whole city is full of lunatics. If it weren't for the fog, things would be much worse. I'm afraid the whole city would have been in turmoil. Fortunately, the light was significantly weakened after being filtered by the thick fog. The skin disease caused by it can be slowly healed by applying a potion with Holy Water No. 4."
"Okay, okay, I'm not here to cause you trouble so early in the morning."
Xia De interrupted the princess's worries:
"Today is Tuesday, and the week has just begun. Margaret, besides the party on Friday, what else are you going to do these days? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Shad, my knight, you have been busy enough.
Most of my time in Yuewan was spent on socializing, countless meetings, conversations, and visits. I was used to it, and I don’t know how my father adapted to this kind of life.”
She put down her knife and fork gracefully and looked at Xia De:
"When we were at Green Lake this year, I heard Princess Leisia say that you really enjoyed watching the opera with her?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows and almost asked, "What kind of opera do you mean?"
"Yes."
"So do you have anything to do tonight? If you don't, why don't you come with me to the Eddington Opera House to watch the opera? If you have something to do, forget it, there will be time later anyway."
Although she said this, even Miss Sylvia beside her laughed:
"Shad, just go with her. You don't know how much pressure Margaret is under during this period. If she wasn't a ring wizard and a witch apprentice, and had the ability to use secret techniques to recuperate her body, I think even her menstrual cycle would be messed up."
The blonde princess's face was already flushed.
Although he had an appointment with Margaret to watch the opera tonight, Shad did not waste the daytime.
Now that the identity of the chosen one has been basically determined, the most important thing on his hands is to decide who to support to become the chosen one.
"That night in the barn, after 'helping' Mrs. Jude and talking to Mr. Albert, I inexplicably felt the 'guidance' again. And Miss Rice said that the [Blood Sorrow] scars on the dead vampire ten years ago were all accurate to the level of a scalpel and avoided the fatal position. That sword is in the hands of Mr. Ptolemy Albert."
After leaving from the back door of Margaret Manor, Shade looked towards the direction of Spider Alley:
"From the beginning, Mr. Bernhardt suspected that the sword was in the hands of his good friend. It seems that Mr. Bernhardt must have noticed something."
He sighed, but did not go to Spider Alley immediately. He returned to Belindel Manor first.
Coincidentally, when Shad returned, he happened to run into Iluna visiting the manor.
She still carried the [Pale Justice] with her. When she and Shade entered the manor and ran into Emilia and Ajelina, she handed the sword to the elf girl:
"Take it first and see if you can gain any insights from it. Shade said that your talent for cold weapon combat is not very good, but you learned a set of elven sword dances in the elven ruins. Maybe the sword styles inherited from this sword can help you."
Iluna knew that Emilia was kind-hearted, so she dared to hand this angel-level relic to her.
The elf girl looked flattered. Compared to Iluna, the "chosen one of balance" who had "seen the world", this was one of the few angel-level relics she had ever come into contact with.
With the little unicorn by their side, Shad was not worried about the impact of the relic, so he and Iluna went to the study in the manor, where Luvia was already sitting.
No one else came to disturb the meeting of the three. After Xia De sat down, he placed the six coins he brought from home on the table:
"[Pirate's Blood Money], [Thundergod's Wrath], [King's Egg], two [Coins of Wisdom], [Dragon's Blood Money]. There are enough of them, and there are quite a lot of varieties. With the way things have developed to this point, I don't think there's any need to save them."
Luvia nodded, but did not rush to divine. Instead, she asked Iluna:
"How do you feel about your time in Moon Bay? What are you busy with recently?"
The eighteen-year-old girl held the teacup and sipped the black tea:
"Moon Bay has become the seventh 'Land of Destiny', and the relics inside and outside the city are increasing. And I have to go outside the city or offshore islands regularly with the church's team to clear out the dragon nests set up by the Dragon Feast Cult to hatch dragon beasts. No one knows how they created so many nests."
After a pause, he added:
"But the allowance for business trips to Yuewan is really, really high."
Both Shade and Luvia laughed, and Shade continued to ask:
"Any news from the church?"
"Yes, in the process of tracking down those cultists, the church has found clear evidence to prove that they want to summon God. Well, everyone actually knows this."
She shook her head, put down her teacup and looked at the snacks on the table, but did not take them because of her figure:
"Yesterday's operation yielded great results. During the arrest, a high priest of the Dragon Feast Cult was killed. Before his soul disappeared, the church's psychic forces learned that the place where the gods were summoned was the ancient Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site."
"Xia De said that it seems that none of the five major orthodox churches can call on the gods this time."
Luvia continued, and Iluna looked at Shade in surprise:
"Yes, does Xia De even know this? So the church is under a lot of pressure this time, especially after the incident with the Dawn Church. I wonder if those witches have told Xia De that the church wants to talk to you.
The fact that the righteous gods cannot come to the material world for the time being is currently a top secret. In our era, apart from the five righteous gods, the only remaining god who is not in the evil camp is probably the ancient moon god behind the 'God Summoner'."
In fact, Iluna doubted that the so-called "ancient moon god" was Shad himself. After all, she and Luvia had never seen Shad praying devoutly to a god, and Shad did not have a holy emblem, idol or religious text on him. Sometimes they even felt that Shad was a "non-believer". Of course, if Shad did not say it himself, they would not mention it.
"Has the church not thought about contacting other followers of the evil god? From what I know, the god who devoured the dragon has many enemies."
Xia De asked curiously again, and Iluna immediately shook her head:
"Hosting cultists is one of the tenets of the Five Gods Church. If limited cooperation with cultists will only shake the faith of some people, then calling on the evil gods to help the Five Gods Church will probably directly cause the cult to collapse. Helping people get rid of the influence of cults and defeating the cult's conspiracy is one of the foundations of the Five Gods Church's existence.
Moreover, as far as I know, the other gods of this era also have a bad relationship with us. Even if we really take the risk to ask for help, we will get no results. "
"So Shade, are you going to communicate with the church?"
The purple-eyed girl asked curiously, and Shade refused without a second thought:
"I am only at the seventh ring now. I will not have any contact with the church. At most, I will ask the witches or Iluna to bring a message saying that the 'God Summoner' is ready at any time. Of course, the situation this time is indeed serious."
Seeing the sadness on Shad's face and thinking of the result of divination with the witch last night, Luvia's heart skipped a beat.
But before she opened her mouth, Iluna said easily:
"That's fine. I don't agree with Xia De contacting the church directly at this stage. At least he should wait until he reaches the twelfth ring. Well, around next year."
As he said this, he started laughing, and Shade did not forget to tell Iluna the good news:
"The most recent time key has ended, and I successfully obtained an Enlightenment Rune. Now all I need is the Sublime Word Rune and a miracle. Even if we follow the slowest scenario, which is almost when the Chosen One of Light appears, I can still get the miracle - Guidance."
"We never worry about your situation."
The eighteen-year-old girl smiled, then looked at the coins on the table:
"Before the divination, can I make a small request? I've been learning a magic technique related to thunder lately, which may help strengthen my [Sunshine Gun]. Can you lend me this 'Wrath of Thundergod' temporarily?"
"of course can."
Feeling that she had missed the topic, Luvia didn't want to bring up the "War of Gods" anymore, so she handed the coin to Iluna.
"There are five left, which is enough. Xia De, you decide what to divine."
