Whispering Verse

However, this transformation was definitely not fruitless. Continuously casting spells and fighting in the "Moonlight Dragon" form greatly accelerated Shade's understanding of this transformation technique. He felt that it wouldn't take long before he could fully master this powerful thaumaturgy and transform from a dragon back into a human form on his own.

Therefore, although there is only the last bottle of potion left, it should be enough.

The four great witches and Miss Elise are discussing tonight's situation around the city's sand table under the crystal chandelier. After the girls in the study pass the latest news, Miss Benanis will control the sand table. The city is transformed.

The northern part of the lifelike city model is even burning with flames just like the real city. This is no ordinary sand table, but a real picture of the city replicated after the witch's secret technique resonates with the earth.

"Huh~ Alright."

Emilia took her hand away and wiped the sweat from her head. Agelina, who was holding a plate at the side, immediately handed the vial of holy water to Shade, and asked Shade to drink the No. 2 holy water in one gulp. As for the plate in the little princess's hand, there are various materials used for the treatment just now.

The witches have already dealt with the wound, and the ancient elf amulet in Emilia's hand lifted the final curse.

Shade let out a sigh of relief, and after taking off the bandage, only a shallow pink scar remained on his arm. So the little unicorn finally poked Shade's arm with its horn, and the scar healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. But in just a few seconds, he disappeared under the gaze of the elf girl and the little princess.

"Ang~"

It screamed happily, and Shade softly thanked Emilia, Agelina and Little Lianna. After getting dressed with the help of the blushing Agelina, he also walked to the sand table:

"There is a fire in the north of the city, and the main force in the south is restraining it. There are also a large number of vampire bats and dragon-born vampire monsters. There are gangs and pirates in the city, and the church is even besieged. I still don't understand what their purpose is with such a huge formation tonight. What?"

The countess raised the note in her hand:

"Are you okay? If your arm still hurts, sit down quickly. We just received news, and it's top secret news. The local Dawn Church has been stolen."

"I'm fine, but what did you say?"

Not only Shade, but also Emilia and Agelina looked surprised. Whether it is an elf living in St. Byrons or a human princess living in the Steam City, they all know what the church of the archdiocese means.

"Isn't this a joke?"

Shade looked at the other ladies. The big witch with wavy brown hair shook her head. Although Miss Aurora and the others first had a fight in the east of the city and then followed the two dragons to the dock, they were only exhausted. Although not completely injury-free, those minor injuries could have healed with a little treatment.

"I thought it was a joke just now, but Bella said this news is absolutely true. The Belindel family has its own news channels even in the church. Judging from the current situation, everything tonight is probably really for Divert the power of the church and steal a relic from the Church of Dawn.”

She covered her forehead:

"I can't even remember the last time an archdiocesan church was robbed like this."

"Even in the Fifth Age, the theft of the church of a powerful god would have been unthinkable."

Miss Elisa also said.

Shade glanced at the city that was still burning outside. In fact, Hazy Xiaoyu had been summoned at this time, but it would not take a minute or two to put out such a fire. There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the city, and the ring warlocks cannot rush to all the fire scenes at once.

"Excuse me, what exactly was stolen?"

Emilia said softly, but this question could not be answered yet. It was surprising enough that Miss Belindel could know about the theft of Dawn Church for the first time. If it is even clear what was stolen, then the validity of the intelligence must be re-judged.

"I still can't understand. Iluna told me how tight the defense of the Orthodox Church's churches is, not to mention that a large diocese like Yuewan is almost on the same level as Tobesk Diocese and Willondale Diocese. Even if the main force is transferred Come on, the church can’t be breached so easily, right?”

Shade continued to ask, several ladies exchanged looks with each other, and finally Miss Elisa said:

"If you rule out those impossible options, such as the cultists being too lucky, then the only possibility is that there is a mole in the Dawn Church. Obviously, there are people here who are not as religious as they appear."

"Oh~"

Shade sighed softly:

"So, after tonight, Yuewan Diocese is really going to make big moves. Wait a minute, there are only a few hours until Monday, which is Dawn Church's 'Holy Prayer Day' this year. It turns out, the days after Holy Prayer Day , the power of the church and divine magic will be greatly enhanced, so it is not a coincidence that we choose to take action today."

"I don't understand something."

The elf girl continued to ask:

"This happened tonight, how will the city hall explain to the citizens tomorrow? The fire can be explained as a fire in the north of the city, and the gangs and pirates can also explain it in an ordinary way. But no matter how dark it is tonight, seeing those There are definitely a lot of people with bats and monsters, right?”

Emilia had lived in St. Byrons since she was a child, so she really didn't know this.

Miss Sylvia then explained to her:

"Since the Sixth Era, there have been large-scale riots involving extraordinary powers in the city, but this is definitely not the only one, and this is not the most serious one. But so far, ordinary people are not aware of the existence of ring warlocks. Of course, the church has own means."

"I know that if it is a small-scale incident, it can be explained as a gas pipeline explosion~"

The girl with pointed ears gave an example, and Miss Benenice continued to explain:

"That was a small-scale incident. Such a large-scale incident requires other means.

Tonight's matter is actually not serious. At least there are only two blocks of citizens who saw the light giant transformed by the 'Light Chaser'. And the dragon roar over the pier is not worth mentioning. This is the fourth consecutive Sunday that dragon roars have appeared in the city, right? "

Shade nodded:

"Yes, I heard Iluna and Luvia say that although the church will use cognitive rewriting relics with caution, in this case, in conjunction with the ceremony composed of five churches, the power of the relics can be used."

"Cognitive rewriting?"

The elf girl was frightened, and then glanced at the little princess for some reason, who blinked at her desperately to tell her not to look at her.

The countess didn't notice their little movements, or she didn't care:

"It's not the kind of rewriting you think. It just makes the citizens who saw those monsters tonight feel like they were in a dream tonight after dawn tomorrow. Most of the burned houses in the north of the city cannot be restored, but those monsters In their memory, it will become a hallucination produced by themselves when they are sleepy and frightened.”

Emilia nodded slightly to express her understanding. Shade continued to lower his head and look at the burning city on the sand table:

"According to the clues I have, the Dragon Feast Sacrifice is related to the ancient god 'Dragon of Glory', and the evil god - the Dragon-Eating Demon can use its power. Hasn't the Council recorded anything about that sacrificial site?"

"Megan and Audrey are checking. They will come to Moon Bay next week, and there should be results by then."

When the group of people returned from the dock just now, Shade was carried in by Miss Elisa in the shape of a cat. Due to some loss of strength and difficulty in moving, coupled with the injury to her claws, even the magic potion that drank the elf was fed to the cat by Miss Belindle.

Shade didn't know how she convinced the other ladies that she should do this.

Although the church in tonight's battle repelled the exposed main force of the [Dragon Eater Order], the cultists also obtained a temporarily unknown relic, so it was impossible to distinguish the winner from the loser. But Shade's pink perfume vial is now completely empty. The bottle is currently placed on the coffee table. If you look carefully, you can only see a shallow layer of newly formed liquid at the bottom of the bottle.

It's indeed gratifying that "Moonlight Wheel" can develop a third form of energy storage. Since the "Shadow of the Moon" magic ensures that the moon shines on Shade all the time, it can also be done during the day by unfolding the light curtain to absorb the moonlight energy accumulation.

The "Dragon Spell Sword of Light" showed greater value in this battle. As for the identity of the huge dragon egg holding the "Bone Sacrifice Sword", it also aroused speculation among the witches and Shade. .

Dragon eggs are undoubtedly the thing that best fits the description of the "nascent dragon" in the fragment of the poem, and the fossilized dragon eggs that Shade and John Flynn, the holder of the "Wind King's Sword" found in the smuggling cargo ship, may also be similar to them. related.

From this point of view, it cannot be ruled out that the thing bred in the giant egg is the chosen one.

"There are currently six known holy swords. There are too many candidates this time."

Miss Aurora frowned and said, probably thinking that in the Cold Water Port incident that she and Shade experienced at that time, the only dark chosen one was "Ivan Darkness".

After recovering from the injury on his arm caused by the [Bone Sacrifice Sword], Shade did not stay at Belindle Manor for long:

"I want to go out, not to leave Moon Bay, but to meet my vampire friends.

So many dragonborn vampires appeared tonight, and the local vampires really couldn't clean themselves up in a short time. I roughly guessed where he is now, and I really hope nothing happens to him. "

Shade sympathized more with Mr. Bernhardt than himself. The appearance of such a large number of dragon-born vampires tonight, as well as those vampire monsters and mutated giant bats, only shows that the cooperation between the [Dragon Feast Order] and the vampires dates back to long before the Moon Bay Incident.

And since Mr. Bernhardt, who was just here to discuss business, has been involved, he probably really has no way out.

"Do you need someone to go with you?"

The ladies did not object to Shade going out, and they did not need to worry about his safety.
