Chapter 2427 Countdown to God’s Descent
"Do we have to wait until next time? It doesn't matter, as long as this interesting story can continue."
"Then Mr. Watson, please turn over the last card."
Mr. Sean Asmon reminded.
"Okay, let's try our luck one last time."
Xia De casually flipped over the card in the center of the five-by-five deck, and then threw the "king" onto the table.
The demonologist was not disappointed at all. He smiled and handed [Song of Cats and Dogs: Eternal Guardian] to Shade:
"It seems that your luck is still good."
Xia De asked curiously:
"Another card. So Mr. Asmon, will you stay in this city?"
"It will probably stay for a while. Although the prophecy says that a great disaster will happen here soon, just like what I said, this kind of big city with accumulated wealth and restless people is the most suitable place for scholars like me to find business."
He stood up and nodded slightly to Xia De:
"The richer and more stable a place is, the more complex its desires are, and the more people are curious about the mysterious knowledge of demons or try to change their fate through demons. Goodbye, Mr. Watson, I hope we can meet again in a strange city by wonderful coincidence in the near future."
"See you later, and thanks again for the cards."
Xia De watched the demonologist leave, and when his footsteps gradually faded along the stairs, Megan walked out from the bookshelf:
"Look, you're still playing cards after all."
The witch teased, and Shade shook the [Cats and Dogs: The Eternal Guardian]:
"It's not really playing cards, but you've been here the whole time?"
"You came here at the end of your story."
"So do you feel that there is anything unusual about the person sitting opposite me just now?"
Megan raised her eyebrows in surprise:
"I don't know what you want to ask, but I don't feel any strange power from him. My evaluation of him is the same as my evaluation of men other than you - a disgusting guy with a weird appearance. What's wrong with that man?"
Shade shook his head:
"No problem, he's kind of my friend, and he's been telling me stories about demons."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the window on the second floor, put on the [Eye of Crow], leaned against the window, squinted his eyes and looked down.
At this time, Mr. Sean Asmon had already walked out of the front door of the club, holding the black notebook under his arm, and walked into the thick fog with a slight sway. In the fog, the figures of a black dog and a black cat flashed by and followed him.
Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly. The figures of the two animals looked like
"looking at what?"
Megan also came to Shad, but by then Mr. Asmon had already walked away in the fog.
"nothing."
Xia De stroked her hair naturally, and the witch patted him shyly:
"Don't tell me it's nothing, you must have discovered something."
"But it's not the time to resolve this matter yet. There are too many unknown things in this world. Maybe it's my illusion, maybe there is really a problem, or maybe it's just a coincidence. In short, we will meet again, and I am still looking forward to the next story."
Megan nodded and kissed Xia De lightly on the side of his face:
"Would it be alright if I could go back with you to 6 Saint Teresa's Place tonight?"
She had also touched the statue in the basement of her home. Of course, Shade understood what she meant and nodded with a smile:
"of course can."
"Cough cough~"
A cough came from behind the two of them. When they turned around, Nadia Foren, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared behind them.
This lady has a silver dragon badge on her chest. She is in her thirties and has vertical pupils. But her hair is the same brown as Megan and Audrey, which is the hair color inherited from the Edwards family:
"I don't believe that with your two strong perceptions, you would not have noticed me walking up the stairs."
She looked at the two of them carefully:
"Or are you deliberately showing off your love in front of me?"
Xia De coughed awkwardly, but Megan didn't care at all:
"The time now is 7:45. It's really punctual, cousin. Then you go and talk to him, and I'll be on guard nearby."
He waved to Xia De and walked into the bookshelf again.
Xia De made an inviting gesture and did not talk to the woman in front of him by the window. Instead, he returned to the table where he had just told the story.
The latter's attitude towards Shade was quite rude:
"They seem to be really fascinated by you. A man like you must have many tricks and schemes."
"I don't quite understand why you are so hostile to me."
Nadia Foran frowned at him:
"You charmed my older cousins who had never married, and took away all the family property. If the family story was a book, then your behavior would be the worst ending."
In a way, what she described was actually correct.
"I have a question: Do you dare to say that they are very old in front of them?"
Shade asked curiously.
"you!"
"Well, well, now, how are your sons, Mr. Forlan? Are they doing well after returning to Willendel?"
Nadia Foren's tone softened:
"Why, as an 'elder' you want to care about them? They are living well. What troubles can there be in life in Willendel? Besides, they have the support of the Rosicrucian Order and have many friends. The church knew their identities when they were in Green Lake, but later tacitly allowed them to do whatever they wanted, which is good enough."
She looked at Shade:
"Okay, stop saying these meaningless words. Do you really think of yourself as the head of the Edwards family? Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Before we begin the formal topic, please allow me to say one last thing: your father Edward, along with his brothers Hohenheim, Alphonse, and sister Maria, have been buried together in the flower garden behind the old family house according to their wishes."
After saying this, he ignored the expression of the woman in front of him:
"I want to know the plan of the Dragon Feast Cult, the God's Descent Plan."
He was very straightforward, and was met with a blunt refusal:
"You probably haven't noticed that I am still a member and believer of the cult. It is impossible for me to betray."
Of course, Xia De never thought that she would directly reveal such a secret:
"Then can you tell me about the Chosen One? And the giant egg and the Sacrificial Bone Sword?"
Nadia Foran raised her eyebrows:
"This question is actually the same as your first question, so I can't say it."
Now Shade understood that the egg was indeed related to the God’s Descent ritual;
"The sage-level relic [Scales of the Spacetime Dragon] and the clerical-level relic [Egg Incubator from the Shire Farm] that were stolen from the local Dawn Church half a month ago should be the same as the first question, so you can't say it, right?"
The middle-aged woman said nothing, and Xia De understood again:
"In fact, it doesn't matter if you leave the cult. Your aunt Maria's grandson and granddaughter, the Green siblings, are planning to revitalize and manage Paradise Island. Although they have the help of their ghoul father who has not yet left, they are still short of manpower. Even Megan and her company are not incapable of giving you a position."
"If you want to persuade me to abandon my faith, then there is no need. If you continue to talk about this topic, I will get up and leave now."
She didn't seem to be joking at all, so Xia De changed the subject:
"So what can you say?"
"The ceremony will begin on Sunday or Monday or Tuesday."
"What? But it's already Wednesday. If it's Sunday, there won't be much time left."
Xia De was really surprised this time:
"And the ceremony you're talking about is..."
"Yes, that's what you wanted to ask. In fact, even if I don't tell you, the church will soon discover the clues of this ceremony. It is impossible to completely cover up the traces of such a large-scale ceremony, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."
The middle-aged woman warned:
"I'm not bragging, but even if you are truly powerful, Godcaller, you are no match for my Lord."
Of course, Shade is very clear about this:
"We can't discuss matters related to the cult, but we can discuss matters related to the Light Worshipers' Seminar, right?"
"of course."
She raised her eyebrows again, leaning sideways to look at the densely packed bookshelves at the table:
"If I can cause trouble for those guys from the Light Worshipers' Institute, I would certainly be happy to do so."
"How did they offend you? Aren't you a cooperative partner?"
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? When we first infiltrated Moon Bay, we were indeed partners, and they also promised to work with us to seek the seventh chosen one. But almost all the major events that followed were led by us. Now, the church is pointing its spearhead at us, and those crazy people who want to be the light have gone into hiding."
Speaking of this, Ms. Foran was obviously very resentful:
"Especially that Light Chaser, who has even refused to come and see us recently."
"Is it possible that they hid their plan to transform into light from you, and you hid your plan to descend from God from them, so you are not good people."
Xia De reminded, and the middle-aged woman's mouth twitched:
"Do you always talk like this? No, you don't have to answer my question. Regarding the [Light Worshipers' Seminar], we don't have much more information than you do. Everyone can guess what they want to do. As for the specific plan."
She pointed in the direction of the window:
"Look at this fog. This is part of their plan. They caused the 'Brink of Life and Death' that opened last Sunday. However, they did not want an undead riot or death invasion. Instead, they wanted to cover the entire city with fog. You should have noticed that the light accumulated in this thick fog is gradually increasing over time."
"Yes."
Shade nodded:
"Are you trying to say that they are using this fog to continuously accumulate the power of the special light?"
"Yes. Otherwise, relying solely on sunlight and moonlight can cause serious casualties in a short period of time, but it is obviously not enough to achieve their 'great' goal."
