Chapter 2406 Candidate Ranking

"Speaking of which, I wonder if you have noticed."

Shade asked:

"Poet-level [Ointment Slug] ointment, Keeper-level [Star Sword Stone] special alloy, Sage-level [Unknown Swordsmith's Apron] swordsmith, Angel-level [Ancient Dragon Stone] "Long assumes that these are all materials for the Chosen One's Ceremony. Do you think this is like forging a sword?"

The purple-eyed fortune teller nodded immediately:

"The ointment is sword oil, the special alloy of the Star Sword Stone is the main material, and the swordsmith is the swordsmith. The dragon in the dragon stone may be used to test swords, or it may be that the bones from this special dragon are needed or Blood is used as an auxiliary material. Yes, it is indeed like making a sword."

“But are these four really all you need?”

Tifa asked again, Shade shook his head:

"Maybe a fifth piece is needed. If [Ointment Slug] corresponds to light, [Ancient Dragon Transformation Stone] corresponds to dragon, and the other two pieces correspond to what is needed for making swords, then there should be at least one corresponding to [Justice]. That ancient god is the best The three important functions are light, dragon and justice. They are all very ancient relics, and the purpose of the "Light Chaser" leaving this notebook is not clear. Anyway, we need to look for the apron and the slug first, and then we still need to look at the dragon scales. What information can be displayed?”

"The four dragon scales of black, green, gold, and silver correspond to the Black, Wood, Belindel, and Silver families. Bella and I will divine the locations of the remaining three as soon as possible. We have been busy with this recently. thing.”

Luvia promised, Shade nodded and didn't ask much about their progress. He was still very relieved about Luvia.

There is nothing much to say about the investigation records of [Eternal Light]. Shade just asked the maids to help summarize the key points, and then he would read it himself.

At noon, everyone had lunch together in the manor, but because the witches have been busy recently, they dispersed after lunch.

Of course, Shade had something to do that afternoon. After lunch, he and Luvia went out to Spider Alley.

Last night, the meeting time arranged with John Flynn on the Moon Bay Bridge in "The Edge of Life and Death" was at two o'clock in the afternoon. Shade originally wanted Luvia to ambush around the street and take a look at him to confirm his identity, but Luvia Ya went into the tavern with him:

"I'll sit next to you and meet him. I'll just disguise my face."

Compared with Shade, John Flynn came alone. He showed up on time at 1:58. When he saw Shade at the table by the wall, he waved his hand and walked over.

Of course he noticed that there was a stranger sitting next to Shad this time, but considering that Shad was surrounded by different people almost every time he appeared, he was not surprised:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Watson."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Flynn, let's keep the story short. Everyone is busy."

John Flynn sat down opposite Shade and Luvia, folded his hands and put them on the table:

"That's what I mean too."

"This time we came for the [Light Worshipers Training Conference], and they behaved very strangely. The initial rumor was that they were cooperating with the [Dragon Feast Order] to help the [Dragon Feast Order] station, which had little influence in the local area. Keep a firm foothold. But the [Longfeast Order] has done so much in Yuewan in the past month, but the [Light Worshipers Training Association] has not done anything.”

He stared at the person across the table:

“I initially thought that the [Light Worshipers Training Society] was manipulating the local organization [Eternal Light] to do things secretly, but later it was confirmed that the two were just a cooperative relationship, and the former even wanted to annex the latter but failed.

Therefore, when we met the Light Chasers in the fog last night, it was one of the few things they did proactively. The loss of control on the verge of life and death was definitely caused by his use of a strange object (note). Although you have a small number of people, the investigation progress is definitely not slow. I would like to know if you have any news about the [Light Worshipers Seminar]? "

John Flynn nodded, but did not pick up Shade's pen and paper:

"Our team of four is a standard adventurer team. Even if we are not in a dangerous wilderness, but in a bustling city, we still have a place to perform our best. Speaking of which, Moon Bay is really prosperous. In the past month or so, Exploring so many things in taverns, underground black markets, gang stations, noble manors, and underground ruins is almost more exciting than life in the New World.”

Of course he didn't change the subject:

"Yes, I do have some information here. You saved us last Sunday, and I should be grateful, but my information is also very vague. I think you should know that the ultimate purpose of those madmen has always been to guide mankind Become light."

"Yes."

"Their purpose in Moon Bay is also this. Let the [Dragon Eater Order] rush ahead and pretend that they care about the chosen ones just like those cultists. This is actually true, [Light Worshiper Training Society] It is true that there is no such thing as giving up on the chosen one.

But their real purpose is to divert the attention of the cultists, while they hide and operate secretly, only occasionally taking action to show their presence. Judging from the information we have so far, they plan to take advantage of the chaos when the city is destroyed on the day when the prophecy of Yuewan comes true, and launch a large-scale ceremony to turn the entire city into light. "

Luvia sat next to Shade and said nothing, while Shade raised his eyebrows, guessing that the notebook last night was simply the "Light Chaser" trying to divert their attention and help them find something to do. But if this is the case, the plan of the [Light Worshipers Training Association] should be almost completed:

"Your statement can explain a lot of things. The [Light Worshipers Training Group] has mastered the method of using that special light and has the ability to do so. But, what is your source of information?"

John Flynn shook his head slightly:

"Sorry, in order to protect the safety of the person who gave me the information, please allow me to keep the source confidential."

Shade recalled the scene he had seen in the memory of the past Mr. Bernhardt. In the sixth era when the Yuewan Bridge was suspected to have been built, Mr. Bernhardt died in that scene that was about to take place. The whole city was transformed into a disaster of light.

"Do you know what method they are going to use?"

He asked again, and the young man across the table thought for a moment before shaking his head:

"It's not clear at the moment. In fact, the church has also been on guard against the [Light Worshipers Seminar]. Even without me reminding them, the church can guess what those crazy people want to do. Without finding them, they can only Can study what is needed to safely defend against that strange light.

Although some high-level relics have a weakening effect on that light, it is obvious that the church wants a method that can be popularized. "

John Flynn talked with Shade for a while, and before leaving, at Shade's request, he read the note written by Shade.

And when he really left the Spider Hotel, Luvia looked at Shade:

"Second candidate."

"Are you sure you are the second candidate?"

"Of course. According to the current ranking, the first one is unknown, the second one is John Flynn, I haven't seen the egg yet, but it should be that thing and Emilia in third or fourth place, and the last one is Ogu Priest Si. The Sword of the Wind King, the Bone Sacrifice Sword, the Ocarina of Time, and the Angel’s Right Arm are ranked first. If a stranger who no one knows suddenly appears, he is probably the holder of [Blood Sorrow].”

Shade sighed and looked in the direction of the autopsy room not far away:

"I think I have the answer."

The purple-eyed girl raised her eyebrows:

"I see you're hesitating."

"Yes, actually there are advantages to making him the chosen one of the light. [Blood Sorrow] is held by vampires. In this way, the red wine-loving Duke can help me seriously, but I still have a crush on him. There are some concerns that his mental state is not as stable as the John Flynn we just met."

Shade frowned:

"We really encountered a problem this time. Except for the egg that absolutely cannot be the chosen one, none of the candidates this time are bad guys in the traditional sense."

"After all, it is light and justice. It is normal that there are more good people who meet the requirements."

Luvia said with a smile. She was not worried at all and did not urge Shade to make a decision:

"Anyway, the final battle hasn't come yet. You still have time to think. Shade, do you remember? Our original purpose is to witness the stories of the chosen ones. It doesn't matter whether it is the best choice."

After all, the long-haired Luvia in the past life had chosen the "best choice" many times, but obviously it was not the right answer.

"I understand, Luvia, I understand everything."

With John Flynn's ranking determined, the identities of the "Light" chosen candidates are almost all clear. As long as a stranger doesn't suddenly pop up claiming that he is also a candidate, it is basically certain that the seventh candidate will be selected from these five people.

Luvia is very satisfied with the result. According to her, although the number of candidates this time is a bit larger, the quality of the candidates to choose from is quite good. Emilia, Priest Augustus, and even John Flynn are all ideal candidates.

Of course, she would not interfere with Shade's final choice.

Luvia then left south and returned to Belindel Manor on the "Brilliant Messenger" at the dock. Shade sat in the tavern for a while, then stood up and walked to the autopsy room at the end of Spider Alley.

It was a pity that Shade neither met Mr. Bernhardt nor Mr. Ptolemy Albert in the autopsy room that afternoon. The latter went out to deal with his own personal matters, and he was not what Shade imagined. He had been active in the autopsy room except for resting at home.

Of course, there are other coroners working here. After hearing that Shade was a friend of Mr. Albert, the other party warmly invited him to wait in a clean and smell-free office:

"Ptolemy said he would be back before dinner, and he kept his word. Once he promised to give me a vase that was not in use at home, but he forgot to bring it the next day. Later, he ran home to get it. He This man is the most honest guy I have ever met. He will definitely be back before five-thirty."

PS: This is not a relic, it is a magical item! So it was written as a wonder! Please don't remind me over and over again that I changed it, it's not a mistake! ! !
