Chapter 2449 Waiting all night
At midnight, since almost no one went out in the city, Shade could find the remote crossroads without going to the countryside. After listening to the twelve chimes of Big Ben in Belindel, he dropped the mirror given by the doctor in the middle of the intersection in the city.
Then, Shade turned left three times and right three times around the mirror. When he found that nothing happened, he finally shouted at the mirror:
"Bill Dimon Schneider."
He repeated the name three times in a low voice, and waited quietly for a few seconds before he saw a ball of black light emerging from the originally clean mirror.
A dark cube rose up in the black light and fell to the ground nearby. After it continued to expand and surge, it formed the image of Dr. Schneider, who was carrying a briefcase and wearing a black coat.
"This is a really fancy move."
Shade commented, and the doctor waved his hand to make the mirror fly up, then handed it to Shade:
"Take this, you can reuse it. Fancy? If a third person saw it, we would definitely be classified as bad guys."
After saying that, he smiled and looked at Xia De:
"Let me guess where you were. With the girls?"
"How did you know? There are lipstick marks on my face?"
Dr. Schneider joked:
"The clothes you are wearing are so neat, there is not even a dent in them. The gold buttons on the pockets, the shine of your shoes, and the neatness of your hair all show that someone took great care of you before letting you go out."
Xia De immediately recalled what happened before he left the ship. He only remembered that the girls were indeed very enthusiastic, and it seemed that even the witches did not care about the "bold" behavior of their apprentices. If he had not been going out, he might have been...
Fortunately, the doctor obviously had no intention of standing in this strange long night and chatting with Shade about his romantic life. Bill Schneider tightened his collar and looked at the fog around the intersection:
"The situation is really serious. It wasn't like this when I came to Moon Bay last month."
That was before all this exploded.
"After all, it's before the decisive battle. The clock has already struck twelve. Doctor, every second now, unexpected situations may occur. Let's go, let's not stand here. I have arranged a place for you to stay."
He waved to the doctor, but the doctor shook his head:
"This city is very interesting now. The invisible forces generated by people's fear, resentment, dissatisfaction and greed are much stronger than during the Green Lake negotiations. People there are just afraid of war, but people here are facing the predicted destruction, and the negative emotions they have are more complicated."
He took a deep breath:
"That's really interesting, Detective. I won't go with you for now. I want to take advantage of the night to walk around the city. If anything happens, I will definitely get there in time."
Xia De didn't object. Although the doctor had some bad luck, he was generally reliable:
"Well, be careful in the city. The situation here is very complicated."
As he spoke, he told the doctor his contact information and Father Augustus' current address, and also gave the doctor a detailed map of the city.
"Oh, doctor, one more thing."
Xia De suddenly said:
"You still remember the Stone Mirror Demon of the Randall Valley - Goethe and the demon Stone Oxenfurt, right?"
The doctor nodded:
"Of course I remember, and you had basically solved the problem when I went to Oxenfurt Manor. What happened? I'm pretty sure that thing won't appear again, and I'm not ready to try again with the demon summoning information that Oxenfurt left behind."
"It's not about Oxenfurt. I told you at the time that Stone Oxenfurt, who summoned the Stone Mirror Demon, actually summoned a second demon. This time, his wish was to 'summon a demon that can fight against demons.'"
The doctor nodded again:
"Remember, you said it was the butler and the maid, and they did give you a very important hint, allowing you to find its true form at the end of the maze during the devil's trial. Of course, the two low-level demons left before I went there."
"I suspect that the housekeeper and maid are now in Moon Bay, not as a maid and housekeeper, but as a cat and a dog. I know it sounds strange, but they didn't transform like this before they left, it's just that Dorothy wrote them as cats and dogs in her novel."
Shade said, but he was not sure:
"Anyway, just keep an eye out for them, especially if there's a man wearing a brown robe, with very short stubble on his head, and black eyes around them."
The doctor made a gesture that it was all right:
"I'll help you keep an eye out. But you also know that the glowing white mist will seriously hinder perception. I'll try my best. Detective, I'll see you soon."
"See you soon."
The doctor then walked into the white fog carrying his briefcase. Xia De watched his back disappear before he turned around and jumped, turning into a group of flying red butterflies and flew away.
Many people stayed awake that night. At least the lights in the five cathedrals in the city were on all night, and the ring warlocks disguised as police patrolled the streets all night. It seemed that even wild cats and dogs could sense the danger coming. The silence that night was really scary.
Shade also did not sleep, of course, not for exercise, but sitting at the long table in the banquet hall of the Radiant Messenger, with three angel-level relics, "Night Watchman", "Ocarina of Time" and "Angel's Right Arm", placed in front of him.
Of the other four holy swords currently in use, the last remaining one, "Pale Justice," was also brought here by Iluna.
When Shad came back from outside in the early morning, he saw Iluna, Emilia and Ajelina playing around in strange costumes. When he came back, Iluna, who seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, sat next to Shad with a red face and a sword in her hand.
Also sitting here waiting for news were Sister Devlin, Luvia and Dorothy.
Leicia in the manor went to rest for a while. Dorothy took over when she was halfway through her sleep, so it was really convenient for the two of them.
Since midnight, news from all sides has been continuously transmitted to the manor and the Shining Messenger through the intelligence network of the witches. It was a quiet and terrifying night. The moonlight made the fog floating in the city and the surrounding area look like a silver tide. The luminous concentration of the fog reached its peak tonight, and the first to bring the news was still the mermaid in charge of sea reconnaissance.
"A fierce battle has broken out between the church's fleet stationed outside Yuewan Harbor and the giant dragons. Currently, the church is completely suppressing the giant dragon army."
The brief message carried the damp smell of seawater, followed by intelligence from various parts of the city:
"Blood-sucking monsters with dragon bloodlines have invaded the city from the sewer system. The church's reconnaissance ceremony has been fully launched. In order to deal with this divine advent, the church has mobilized a large number of ring sorcerers to fight against those monsters in the streets."
At about two o'clock in the morning, as the first ray of fire appeared in the sky, hundreds of densely packed fireballs directly bombarded the city's defense ritual array composed of five cathedrals. The deformed dragon beasts that crawled out of the exploding fireballs continuously consumed and wore away the power of the ritual by self-destructing. At the same time, scattered dragons also flew in from the mountainous areas in the north and northeast of the city, and soon a battle broke out in the air with the high-level warlocks who took off.
Rumbling sounds continued to come from above the glowing fog, and Shade wondered if the newspapers would say it was thunder if Moon Bay survived this battle.
After the outbreak of this low-intensity contact war that was fully under the control of the church, at three o'clock in the morning, violent earthquakes occurred one after another. At the same time that Luvia and Miss Belindel predicted that a tsunami might be approaching Moon Bay, in the center of the city's civic square, a stream of light gushed out from the ground like a waterfall.
The beam of light seemed to be directly connected to the invisible night sky, and then illuminated the entire city. The light particles were scattered all over the city, and those who were lucky enough to witness this scene would probably never forget it.
But at the same time, if you are not in a room that is completely isolated from external light sources at this moment, the chance of being infected by the special light will increase to the highest level in history.
Even though the chance of infection is only one in a thousand, with an extremely large population base in Yuewan, the "City of Fortune", "Special Light Infected People" represented by the three monsters "Light Bulb Man", "Exploding Pus Man" and "Light Believer" still pour out from all over the city.
"The pent-up power of distortion has erupted."
Miss Aurora looked at the city sand table that Vanessa had created in the center of the banquet hall and said, a beam of light also appeared in the sand table, so the great witch of "light" asked Miss Sylvia:
"I'm not sure if this is the plan of the Light Worshipers' Seminar, but this kind of light spray phenomenon probably won't be the last. Emma, come with me and take a look at the center of the city."
"Ok."
They passed through the portal and went to the Belindel Manor in the city center, and the owner of the manor was also on the boat.
"Have your mother and sisters settled down?"
Seeing that she was a little uneasy, Shade asked softly, and the blonde countess nodded:
"I've fed them a sleeping potion. Now they are resting in the cabin of this ship. I'll wake them up after this is over."
The pillars of light that gushed out from the ground were just as the witch had said, and they continued to appear from all over the city. Every time a "light gushing out" phenomenon appeared, it would cause a strong earthquake in the Moon Bay area, and leave a beam of light in the city that went straight to the night sky.
The pillar of light rose to an unknown height above the city, passing over the constantly exploding fireballs. Below the pillar of light, the battles among the ring wizards, the impact of the earthquake, and the numerous rioters who took advantage of the fire had caused raging fires to burn all over the city.
The flames started to appear in the lower city, and soon swept across half of the city. Outside the Yuewan Port, the tsunami caused by the violent earthquake was controlled by the church as much as possible so as not to affect the fragile Yuewan Wharf area. It seemed that everything was still under control, but this was just the prelude to the Yuewan War.
The witches went out one after another, while Shade, Iluna, Luvia, and Dorothy, who had not left the table, chatted and waited for information while talking about their plans. They even played a few rounds of Rhodes cards and tried out the special effects of Shade's new [Origin·Light].
The night outside was noisy, but the night on the ship seemed particularly warm and satisfying to Iluna. So before dawn, Shad and she did not leave the "Glorious Messenger" for a single step.
When the first ray of sunlight at dawn shone on Yuewan City after a whole night of chaos, fire, gunshots and explosions were still heard everywhere in the city, and the light of dawn could not penetrate the thick fog that was like rain clouds.
The maids brought breakfast to the host and the guests who had not rested all night, but they had actually eaten a lot that night. Ajelina, who had woken up from a nap, enthusiastically helped to set the tableware. Shade touched Mia, who had slept on the cushion beside him all night. The cat smelled the breakfast and stood up lazily.
After making up his mind, Xia De stood up.
"Where are you going? Can I go with you? Or let Iluna go with you."
Luvia asked, and Shade shook his head:
"I'm going to the bathroom, so you don't have to accompany me. I drank too much tea tonight, so I'll be back soon."
Iluna blushed a little, Dorothy at the table smiled, and Luvia nodded slowly, watching as Shad patted Little Mia and told her not to follow him, and left alone.
He walked up the cabin stairs to the VIP cabin, locked the door after entering, and inserted the [Key of Yggdrasil] into the keyhole of the bathroom:
"May the World Tree protect me throughout the infinite time."
PS: The decisive battle in this volume will not be as dragged out as the landing on the island in the previous volume.
In fact, we can guess what will happen in this decisive battle. At present, Shad has three Philosopher's Stones in his hands. Miss Elither has not yet told Shad about Miss Violet's dragon language spell. What exactly does the "gift" of the three evil gods of Coldwater Port mean, and whether Shad can win the heart of Adele Isabella.
The final battle in this volume will be very interesting. As for the ending of the seventh chosen one, you can guess, it is still completely different from the first six chosen ones.
Current status of the selected person:
Balance: Normal
Darkness: Death
Death: Loss of the qualification to be chosen
Knowledge: Crazy
Earth: Soul Aggregate
Space: Four in One
