Chapter 2436 [Moon in the Water]
The restaurant on the ship had not been renovated and was still used as a restaurant. After everyone sat down, Iluna handed the small suitcase in her hand to Shade:
"For you."
"what?"
After opening it and seeing the bright red stone embedded inside, Shade raised his eyebrows:
"The Philosopher's Stone again?"
Including the piece left by Edwards that was fused with the gift from the church, and the piece that was one of the three gifts obtained from Coldwater Harbor, this is the third Philosopher's Stone in Shad's hands.
"Such a generous gift? What does the church want Shade to do?"
Vanessa reacted quickly. The beautiful blonde opera singer has now taken some time off and will stay here from now on.
"It's just a small gift for the Godcaller. I hope he can take action at the right time."
Iluna shook her head slightly:
"The church can't contact Shade directly, so they can only let me, who has had contact with the 'God Summoner', give it a try. The situation this time is very special. When the righteous gods are unable to descend, the only non-evil god in the material world who can descend is Shade. The church hopes that I can bring back a direct reply from the 'God Summoner'."
"I guess I'm fine."
Shade nodded.
"There will be other rewards after the Moon Bay Battle. This is just a deposit. I can get you some good things then."
The 18-year-old girl said with a smile, while Luvia asked:
“Is the Church Ready for God’s Coming?”
"Yes, the gods have given an oracle that more than one 'Unknowable-level relic' can be used this time."
These highest-level dangerous relics are the only way for mortals to restrict gods. But even unknowable relics can only slightly restrict gods in certain aspects. This restriction is not strong, but in Shade's opinion, it is better to have it than not.
"I won't go into detail about the information of those unknown-level relics. I can't bear to hear that information. But Shade, you should still remember the Level 0 relic [Sword of Diesel], right?"
Iluna asked again, but Megan asked first:
"Are you talking about the relic that can temporarily confine the God-descended Saint to a certain area and prevent him from leaving?"
Xia De also recalled:
"Of course I remember. Last summer, on the night of the God's Descent in Tobesk, it was because of this relic that the Lord of the Blood Feast stayed briefly in the house where the God's Descent took place, giving me time to get there."
"The broken sword has also been delivered and is in the holy ark. The fortune tellers of the Prophet's Association believe that the location of the God's Descent ceremony is most likely the [Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site], which is consistent with Luvia's divination. So once the God's Descent begins, the relic will be used to restrict the gods from leaving the sacrificial site in a short period of time, making it easier to move the city."
"Can't we evacuate Moon Bay ahead of time?"
Xia De asked, and then he knew it was a stupid question:
"Yuewan is really too big, and the population here is in the millions or tens of millions."
"Yes, and there is not enough time. During the evacuation, the cultists will definitely take the opportunity to create chaos, and the situation will be even more complicated."
Iluna agreed, but Vanessa still had questions:
"But the question is, can the church be sure that the god who devoured the dragon will appear in the form of a saint this time?"
"I don't know."
Iluna shook her head:
"Of course, there is another more important thing. You all know about the Unknown-level Relic [Moon in the Water], right? The flawless moonstone that Shade got some time ago is a derivative of this relic. In the area where [Moon in the Water] appears, the moon will appear in all water bodies at night, and this relic can actually directly transform day into night."
This was something none of the witches knew, and it was the first time Shade had heard of it:
"Didn't they say that this relic has long been missing?"
"It was actually secretly kept by the [Zaras Academy of Literature]. Everyone has their own secrets, which is understandable. The relic itself is actually a basin of water, and the reflection of the moon is always in the water. But in order to activate the day and night conversion feature of this relic, a high-level warlock with the power of the 'moon' is needed to call on the moonlight."
Iluna said to Shade:
"Who else can you think of besides you?"
"Miss Danister, oh, I don't know if her business is done yet."
"Saint Byron's information is that 'Red Moon Witch' Danister will definitely be able to arrive before the final battle. But the last time this relic was activated to switch between day and night was in the early Sixth Era, and no one knows what will happen. So for insurance purposes, the church hopes that you can help.
The light at night is weaker than that during the day, and the church hopes that the war of gods will not be fought under the sun."
"After the properties of this relic are activated, can it be contained again?"
Megan asked again:
"Once an Unknowable-level relic gets out of control, it's no different from a god descending from the sky in my opinion."
Iluna shrugged.
"Let's just deal with the matter of God's descent first."
"That's no problem for me. I also want to see the relic."
Xia De suspected that the relic was also one of the fragments of the "original moon". The huge moon floating in the [Silver Moon Library] was just one of the debris, and probably the largest one. Xia De had been looking forward to entering the library again, and by touching the debris, he had a "chance" of meeting the ancient god of Silver Moon.
There is no chance to enter the library right now, but it is still necessary to see that unknowable relic.
"Well, I'll take the message back. The best place to use [Moon in the Water] is high up. It will probably be on the Big Ben of Belindel. Wait for my message then."
Iluna came and left quickly, but she said that tomorrow was Saturday, and in order to prevent any problems early on Sunday morning, she planned to spend the night on the boat tomorrow night.
As for the reason why she left the church, it was easy to find. She said she went out to investigate with Sister Defulin. The church obviously would not doubt the request made by the two chosen ones.
After Iluna left, Shade stayed on the boat for a while, then left the crystal slipper and went home, taking Dorothy and Lesia to Belindel Manor one by one. Dorothy, who arrived first, went on the boat, wearing a summer dress and a big beige hat, while Lesia, who seemed to be traveling, stayed at Belindel Manor.
Knowing that her sister was coming, Ajelina waited in the hallway in advance. When she saw Leicia and Shade appear, she immediately ran over and hugged Leicia. When Leicia asked her with a smile, "Ajelina, how are you doing recently?", the little princess was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at her.
After all, she had recently spent a lot of time reading novels with Emilia, brushing the little unicorn's fur, and exploring on the "Glory Messenger", and had little time to do real work.
Leisia knew her sister very well and saw what she was thinking. She glanced at Shade who was carrying her suitcase, motioned him not to speak, and then said to Ajelina:
"When you're done with your work here, tell me what you did this summer in Moon Bay."
She took off her hat and handed it to the maid beside her. Her long, smooth red hair looked even brighter under the light in the manor's lobby. However, the smile on the princess's face was not "bright" at all. She stared at her sister:
"I suddenly had an inspiration recently, and I have already thought of a way to punish you."
Ajelina lowered her head and tried to look at Shade for help, but was immediately discovered by Leicia:
"Remember those books I confiscated from you?"
Of course Ajelina would never forget.
"Before you left Tobesk, I asked you some questions. When we get home, if your answers don't satisfy me. Ajelina, I will host a book club."
She smiled, still staring at her sister:
"How about at Shad's house? Room 2 on the second floor. Close the door, draw the curtains, put a few comfortable chairs in the living room, and place wooden candlesticks between the chairs for lighting. You stand in front in your underwear and read your 'extracurricular books', while Dorothy, Shad, and Carina drink tea and eat snacks while you 'recite' those articles. Oh, and maybe invite Luvia, Helen, and Grace to come, too."
Ajelina's face flushed just by imagining the scene. Although she and Shade knew that Leicia was definitely joking, the little princess also understood that her sister might be really angry this time.
"Lecia!"
Xia De said immediately, but the princess shook her hair:
"Knight, you don't have to be a good person. I know my limits."
As he spoke, he strode towards the stairs, but stopped after he reached the first step:
"Of course, if you can answer my questions well, Ajelina, I will not be stingy in giving you some of the rewards you have always wanted."
As she spoke, she continued to walk upstairs. The little princess bit her lip and looked up at Shad, who also looked at her. After a brief two-second eye contact, Shad quickly caught up with Leicia who was walking up the stairs. She lived in the same room as Dorothy last time.
Only Ajelina turned to look at them, then looked down at her hands.
(Little Mia is running.)
At night, six fifty.
The thick fog in the urban area of Yuewan City has gradually spread to the Black Forest area far away from the city, and the woods at the foot of Crow Mountain are also hazy.
The sound of bells rang out, followed by the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves pounding on the forest path from afar. The convoy carrying fresh vegetables, fruits and meat slowly moved forward in the forest. There were lanterns hanging on each carriage, and the guards following the convoy were also carrying guns. After all, the forest at night was not a safe place.
The path stretched upwards, and at the end was the overly armed Helmington Castle on the mountain. Before they got close to the castle, people came out of the forest one after another to check the convoy, focusing on whether there were people in the large baskets and whether there were any hidden objects under the vehicles.
After making sure that everything was clear in front of the ravine outside the castle, the patrolling guard blew the whistle hanging around his neck. The sharp sound startled a large number of crows, and with a creaking sound, the wooden bridge blocking the castle gate was slowly lowered as the hook was released.
