Chapter 2380 The Returning Nun
The residents of Yuewan City, who have been accustomed to the fact that major events must happen in the city every Sunday since two months ago, certainly do not doubt that the police are lying about the "optical smoke leak". Therefore, Yuewan was eerily quiet tonight in the foggy atmosphere.
The Countess went to investigate the situation tonight, and the people who stayed in the manor would certainly not be idle. When all the witches gathered, Shade explained the communication with the Light Guiding Order in the afternoon.
His original plan was to take out 20 dragon scale coins, then look for information about the "Light Worshipers' Training Association" to trade with Mr. Chekov. But after listening to Shade's explanation, Miss Aurora made a decision for him:
"Two Secret Keeper-level relics that can produce dark effects, right? They are just Secret Keeper-level relics. There must be two of them in the Parliament's collection. I will mention this to the Speaker when I report on the local situation in the Parliament tonight. No one else will have any objections."
This was not bad, and it would also allow Shade to save coins that might have other uses. While waiting for news from Miss Belindel, Shade also did another thing, which was to ask Tifa to bring the maids to help him sort out the file bag sent by MI6 in the afternoon.
"My vampire friend got the time records of the Dragon Feast Cult's local bulk commodity transactions. According to these records, I searched for account transaction information before and after the corresponding dates, and finally screened out thirteen suspicious accounts. This number is still too many, and MI6 doesn't know what I'm looking for. Now it is necessary to further screen based on the transaction information."
"No problem, the girls here are good at handling this kind of paperwork."
Megan smiled and took Shade's file bag and handed it to Tifa. Tifa then went to select maids to participate in this task. After Margaret and Ajelina, who volunteered to help, joined in, the work of sorting out the account information should be completed soon.
But while they were still reading the information provided by MI6, the Great Witch of Fate returned to the manor with a group of maids from the glowing fog in the long night.
He called Vanessa, who was sensing the earth in the manor courtyard, and then asked the maid to call Miss Sylvia, who was reinforcing the semi-permanent portal in the basement. Finally, he called Miss Luvia and Miss Aurora, who were on the boat at the dock, through the portal, and they all sat down in the manor restaurant together.
"The situation is not very good. This is the first Sunday that something big happened in Yuewan?"
The blonde countess covered her forehead and sat on the main seat:
"Let's talk about the weird 'light bulb man' first. This thing is very troublesome. Because of the infectiousness of the light, there is almost nothing that can contain it, so the Five Gods Church has not been able to obtain first-hand research data for the time being.
However, it has now been confirmed that the location of the cracks after the edge of life and death went out of control covers the range from Mungerton Street to St. Lune Pedestrian Street. Now that area is completely in the overlap of life and death. The citizens have been evacuated, but the tide of undead in the fog is fighting fiercely with the church's team, and the church has just entered it.
As for the thirteen rings of the church and the academy, most of them are still in their respective positions to prevent other situations from happening in the city tonight. It would be ridiculous if they were lured away again like last week's "Night of Long Fangs". However, the church and the academy are concentrating their efforts to stabilize the area where life and death overlap so that it will not expand.
The two who followed the team into the thirteenth ring on the brink of life and death, namely Mr. Bill Camora, the "Giant Hunter" of the Church of Nature, and Miss Maria Ingram, the "Nightmare Witch", reported that the internal problems were extremely complicated and they were fighting more than ten bone dragons. "
"Bone Dragon? Those people again?"
"It's unclear whether it was the cultists who summoned them again, or whether the local undead spirits in Yuewan were awakened. Didn't Shade say that there was a great war in this area in the ancient times? There must have been more than one dragon that died at that time. Moreover, my connections cannot help me get first-hand information about the church's combat forces."
The Countess shook her head and asked Xiang Xiade:
"What should we do this time? Find a chance to check out the situation, or stay put for now and wait for things to develop further?"
"Don't move for now."
Xia De said decisively:
"This incident has no direct connection with us for now, and the church is not incapable of dealing with this situation, so we don't need to do everything. We might as well take advantage of this change in the moonlight to collect data and conduct experiments, and try to analyze these strange lights and new monsters. There will definitely be more serious anomalies next, so it's better to make some preparations in advance."
The witches naturally had no objections, and Luvia and Miss Eliza had no objections either. But when they stood up and prepared to do their own things, Vanessa was startled, and the witch of the earth issued a reminder:
"There's an earthquake. Five, four, three, two, one."
Boom~
The ground was shaking, as if a giant was groaning from deep within the earth. During the Middlesbrough incident last year, every tremor in the "narrow space between life and death" would also trigger an earthquake, so the ladies who had read the information just stood firm but were not surprised.
Only Xia De frowned and looked at the badge he was wearing. At the moment of the earthquake, the badge also clearly shook:
"Wait a minute, there won't be any riots in Yuewan, huh?"
Suddenly, he felt the flames that had almost completely merged with him becoming more and more active. Xia De was startled, then said in surprise:
"Sister Develine is back!"
Downstairs in the manor, the door of the mansion was wide open, but not a single bit of the thick fog could flow into the room.
A blurry figure walked out of the white mist, and the white mist lingered on the side of the gray-white long hair. The silver eye mask with a crown pattern with dense patterns did not become dim even when the nun with an indifferent expression lowered her head.
The gray-blue robe shook as the legs hidden under the robe moved. She walked out of the mist, her hands clasped together and hanging naturally in front of her, and stopped in the middle of the hallway.
When the cold nun raised her head and looked towards the double spiral staircase above which hung the oil painting of Ancestor Belindel, it was really hard to judge whether the brilliant light of the crystal chandelier reflected by the silver eye mask was more brilliant, or the slightly cold face was more delicate.
"Sister Develin, long time no see."
Shade, who was walking in the front, smiled and greeted, and the witches followed behind him. As Sister Defulin was, she deserved to be welcomed by them.
Miss Belindel, who was walking side by side with Luvia, saw that the nun raised her face slightly and clearly showed a slight smile when Shade greeted her.
The Countess' eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't imagine that Sister Defulin would make such an expression. Luvia noticed her expression, but she kept her mouth still and looked forward. She just used her abdomen to push and whispered:
"What are you surprised about?"
"Sister Develin actually showed that expression. I thought she always had a cold expression. Wait, she and Shade won't..."
She turned to look at Luvia again, and the purple-eyed girl continued to speak in ventriloquy:
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
Sister Defulin not only brought the high-level nuns of the [Spiritual Order] to the local area, she even brought news from Iluna:
"We met her on the way here, she was limited in time and couldn't come in person."
The nun had no intention of going upstairs, so she started talking to everyone in the hallway:
"The fortune tellers of the Prophet Association believe that if the white fog tonight continues until tomorrow morning and has not dissipated, once the sun-moon-sun cycle is established, the light in the fog will make the edge of life and death even more terrifying."
There was almost no tone in Sister Defulin's voice, and because her eyes were covered by a blindfold, people could not see her expression:
"In addition, the Thirteenth Ring of the Church determined that there is a big guy in this restless life and death situation."
"big guy?"
Thinking of the vibration of the badge he just felt, Xia De hesitated for a moment before changing the plan he had just made upstairs:
"Sister, can you open a passage in this manor that directly connects to the core location of the Edge of Life and Death?"
"can."
She answered quickly, so Shade looked at the ladies around him again. The witches also realized what Shade wanted to do, and they all looked at him waiting for his decision.
"Ms. Belindel, Miss Sylvia, Miss Elither, you, Sister Devlin, and I will all enter the Edge of Life and Death together. Don't take anyone else with you. Luvia, you, Miss Aurora, Vanessa, and Megan will stay in the manor. Be careful. The abnormality at the Edge of Life and Death this time is definitely not just a coincidence."
The reason why the Countess was brought along was because of her outstanding divination ability, the reason why the Great Witch of "Space" was brought along was because of her long-distance teleportation ability, and the reason why Miss Elither was brought along was because she was the strongest here.
"no problem."
Luvia agreed with his choice, but asked:
"But Shade, which sword are you going to bring this time? The Night's Watcher that has special damage effects on the undead, the sacred weapon Angel's Right Arm, or the Ocarina of Time that enhances time control? Or both?"
"No, no, even I wouldn't dare to carry so many high-risk relics on me, and I'm not good at using dual swords, which will only weaken my spellcasting ability. How about this, Emilia, can you let me borrow the Ocarina of Time? I want to take this opportunity to get familiar with the power of this sword."
Shade said to the pointy-eared elf girl at the back of the crowd, who smiled and nodded immediately, then quickly went to get the weapon.
"Do you need the remaining two swords?"
Xia De asked the girls who set out with him again, and they all shook their heads. Although powerful relics can increase strength, in the face of an unknown environment, familiar means and strength are more reassuring.
