Chapter 2433 Deterioration
When Shad and the blonde girl came out of the bedroom, Carina was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea. The maids who had not slept in the middle of the night had already prepared snacks and hot water. The sleepy Mia also slowly climbed onto the back of the sofa and waited for Shad to sit down.
"You should thank me."
Leicia said unhappily:
"If I hadn't let you into the bedroom today, you might have been called into the council when you were being intimate with Shade. Even if you covered it up well, I don't believe those witches wouldn't be able to see it."
Karina didn't care about her attitude at this moment. After all, if she was interrupted in the middle of speaking, she would definitely get even angrier.
The golden eyes took a look at Leicia's outfit, and then said to Shade:
"Shad, sit down and talk about this. Bella informed the Speaker at short notice, so the Speaker called us all over for a meeting. Up to the time of our meeting, 98 cases of spontaneous combustion occurred in the Yuewan area within just three hours. 70 of them occurred in the urban area, and the rest were scattered in the countryside outside the urban area."
"Close to a hundred?"
Xia De, who had just picked up the soft cat, asked in surprise:
"Although this phenomenon continues to occur in Yuewan, according to the previous frequency, it is no more than ten times a night at most. Besides, citizens now consciously draw the curtains tightly to avoid excessive exposure to the light. What's going on?"
"Xiwei is the Great Witch of Light, and she senses it most clearly. According to her, if the original abnormal light was 1, it suddenly became 5 tonight, and there is a trend of accelerating the change."
"Wait a moment."
Shade, who had just sat down, stood up again, holding the cat and walking quickly to the window to draw the curtains. The summer nights in Tobesk were shrouded in night fog, a phenomenon that the "Steam City" demonstrated its industrial strength. Looking through the night fog at the three frighteningly bright moons, Shade put his hand on the glass and felt:
"The moonlight intensity is also increasing on our side."
"There are crazy people running around in the fog in Yuewan now. The whole city is under martial law except for the dock area."
Carina was worried:
"In addition, a large group of dragon beasts flew in from the open sea after eleven o'clock, and the mermaids also tracked the controlled fishmen mixed with dragon blood and other sea monsters approaching Yuewan Port. No, don't worry, it's over. The church organized a powerful counterattack. Megan and Audrey went out to help fight, and Bella, Luvia and Miss Eliza were on standby on the ship.
Now the battle is over, Vanessa has also rushed to the ship from the Goethe Hotel, and nothing happened there. They felt that there was no need to bother you about this matter, so they asked me to tell you after it was over. "
Leicia asked with concern:
"So, the situation has deteriorated further?"
The red-haired witch nodded:
"In addition to what I just said, an earthquake also occurred in the Yuewan area. Fortunately, the epicenter was not in the city. Also, the 'Crazy Land' appeared outside the city again, this time on a larger scale. The fallen earth elemental giant that was born from it was the cause of this earthquake.
A few days ago, the sealed 'Brink of Life and Death' in Yuewan City also showed signs of instability. Fortunately, the church's sealing method is very good. The current impact is just a little bit of death fog blending into the glowing white fog, which may cause more vengeful spirits in the fog tonight."
"It's more serious than I thought."
Leicia pursed her lips and said, but Karina continued to add:
"Bella said that they had just received news before entering the parliament that an entire street in the dock area had disappeared briefly and was replaced by rice fields, but fortunately it had been replaced by the church's space stabilization device. Finally, some strange things rushed out of the Moon Flower Library, the largest library in Yuewan City, like characters from a book."
"Everyone is here except Balance and Darkness."
Xia De said, but then changed his words:
"No, everything except darkness has arrived. The balance was the first to be broken, or rather, the balance has always been distorted."
"Lecia, look, I'm not interrupting your 'good thing' for no reason. Although we can discuss these things at the dinner table tomorrow morning, I think it's better to let Shade know as soon as possible."
The blonde nodded. She never cared about such issues.
"Dorothy and I have just discussed it, and we have changed our minds. We will take care of our own affairs during the day tomorrow, and then go to Moon Bay in the evening. We won't have to wait until the day after tomorrow, Saturday."
Karina tilted her head slightly and said:
"That's fine, but I'll be the last one to arrive. Sometimes I really feel that being a duke isn't convenient."
Leixia ignored her nonsense and picked up Mia from Shade's arms and put her aside, then hugged Shade's neck enthusiastically:
"If there's nothing else, can we take a break? Shade, let's continue."
As she spoke, she kissed Shade, and the Duchess waved her hand to let the maids around her go to rest first, then coughed:
"This is the living room, and I'm still here. It seems that there is something wrong with the education of the girls in the Cavendish family."
"This is home, and you are not an outsider."
Xia De was very impressed that even in this state, Leicia could still find time to talk, so Jialina, as the "elder", covered her forehead and shook her head:
"You're so anxious. Let's go to the bedroom."
"Oh, it was agreed that it would be me tonight!"
"We're leaving tomorrow. This is our last chance to be together at home before the final battle. Leicia, don't you want to have some fun tonight? I don't think Dorothy's body is stronger than yours."
Her Royal Highness thought for a moment:
"Okay, let's go."
Then he sat in Xia De's arms and said happily:
"Shadow, come and hug me!"
"Why doesn't anyone come to ask for my opinion?"
"Oh, my dear knight."
The red-haired lady stood up and said with a smile:
"Two Cavendish girls invited you to spend the evening together, and you actually wanted to refuse?"
They walked into the bedroom together, and Mia jumped off the sofa and slipped into the crack of the door before it closed.
Xia De's hand caught the cat accurately and sent it to the temporary cat bed in the closet. When he closed the door of the closet and turned around, in the overly bright moonlight shining through the gap in the curtains, the red-haired and blonde girls had already stretched out their hands to invite him.
In short, due to various reasons, when Xia De got up on Friday morning, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, which was an hour and a half later than his normal time.
But at the breakfast table, at least Dorothy and Carina were in good spirits. The Duchess did not blame the maids who looked at Shade with strange eyes this morning, and even asked Shade if he wanted to renovate No. 6 St. Teresa's Square after the matter of Moon Bay was over.
“Why do you want to renovate?”
Shade asked while eating a pie, stroking the unhappy cat beside him.
"Somehow, I just wanted to spend some money on you."
The Duchess said bluntly, and Dorothy beside her immediately started coughing, as if she had choked:
"I won't tell this to Leicia."
Leicia and Dorothy agreed with Shade that they would appear in the Dragon's Nest in the north of Moon Bay at around 4:30 to 5:00 this afternoon. Although Shade had to attend the banquet at Margaret Manor tonight, he would pick them up anyway, or at least let the witch pick them up.
When they sent Ajielina to Yuewan, they actually knew the way. But the situation in Yuewan is so complicated now, Xia De is not confident that they can act alone.
So after breakfast, Xia De took Mia to the rich port city again. Just as Jialina said last night, after leaving the dragon's nest, even though he was still in the cave, he had already noticed the thin mist.
When they left the cave and came to the grove outside, the thick glowing white fog was almost the same as the thick fog in the city that Shad remembered.
A rustling sound suddenly came from not far away, so Xia De gave up the plan to turn Mia back into a cat. He frowned and watched a crazy figure with a glowing body rushing towards him from the thick fog.
It was a humanoid creature, still wearing the clothes of country folk, but his body was covered with pustules of various sizes, and those pustules were brighter than the light on his skin, as if the pustules contained liquid light instead of pus.
The pustules made his body swell up a circle, and its movement speed was also quite fast. After appearing in the fog, the light in the pustules even made it draw several bright afterimages behind it. In just a breath of time, the monster had already approached Shade.
When the silver moonlight from the Night Watchman in Shade's hand passed through its body, it left a bloody mark on its skin and only made the pustules on its body swell even bigger:
"So I hate these kinds of monsters that can absorb light energy."
Xia De took a few steps back:
"Corrupted Blood Mist!"
The monster that rushed towards Shade was immediately submerged in the blood mist. However, Shade was still retreating quickly, because after the flesh and blood in his body were dissolved, the abnormal light contained in the monster's body immediately exploded like a steam bomb.
Shade did not simply dodge and watch the light disperse, but swung his sword and changed the way he held it, throwing out [Night Watcher] straight like a javelin:
"Black Moon Symbol!"
The silver sword pierced into the center of the light. As the huge symbol appeared in the light, the light was instantly annihilated, leaving only a small handful of glowing fine crystals on the ground:
"Sure enough, just as Miss Belindel concluded in 'The Edge of Life and Death', the power of 'End' can also completely annihilate the special light."
But the problem is that this kind of power is difficult to master even for high-level warlocks, and it still cannot be used as a conventional means to deal with the problems of Moon Bay.
