Chapter 2511: Soul and Time in a Foreign Land

Joey Barton didn't finish his sentence, so Shad asked another question:

"Luvia has already told me that she brought you two to Moon Bay specifically so that you can pull me out of death when I really die. I'm curious, can you really do this?"

"Yes."

Joey Barton clasped his hands together on the table and nodded obediently;

"With the help of the nun and the old priest, it will not be difficult to bring you back from the depths of death."

"But I don't understand."

Shade asked the question. The three ring sorcerers cast an illusion to cover up the sound, and he was not worried about being heard by the innkeeper or other guests:

"The dead in Moon Bay can be resurrected because they have not yet reached their final death. Their souls are still wandering in the Moon Bay area because of the fog. As for truly calling back souls from death and the end, or even bringing souls back to the world of the living, I currently only know of two examples:

One is you, who exchanged your life and soul for Ms. Handel, which is love; the other is Sloss Edwards, who exchanged his alienated soul for his sister Rusty Edwards, which is family affection. The resurrection of the dead requires a balance between life and death, so it is correct to exchange one for the other.

Mr. Barton, if you had the confidence to cooperate with the nuns and priests to bring me back from death, what would you want in exchange for me?"

After saying this, he stopped the purple-eyed girl who was about to speak:

"Luvia, don't say anything. I won't let you change mine."

The fortune teller smiled and raised her wine glass, while Joey Barton's almost completely black eyes looked at Shade:

"Bringing you back won't require any souls to be exchanged, and it can also ensure the balance between life and death."

"why?"

Shade asked. This time the man with pure black eyes did not speak immediately. Seeing that her husband was in a dilemma, Ms. Handel shook hands with him.

Then the shadow behind Joey Barton shrank and disappeared, and a shadow gradually spread out behind Ms. Handel:

"Because you have triumphed over Joey in death, death has recognized you, and that is your privilege."

She lowered her head and spoke softly. Luvia beside her nodded slightly, thinking that this answer was very reasonable. Shade also had no doubts. But when he picked up the glass again, the voice of Joey Barton sounded in his mind:

[Souls that do not belong here, whether alive or dead, will not affect the balance of the world. 】

Xia De glanced at him and raised his glass to toast him.

Ms. Handel and Joey Barton left soon, but they did not leave Moon Bay immediately. They had to stay here for a while to deal with the vengeful spirits caused by fear and resentment.

Shad and Luvia did not get up and leave the Spider Inn. Instead, they talked about the Battle of Moon Bay. After confirming that Shad was just unconscious and not in danger of his life, they immediately returned to Sister Defulyn at the mountaintop sacrificial site of the Spiritual Order.

After she and Miss Aurora returned from the New World, she had some important matters to deal with at the sacrificial site. She came to this city again because the battle of Moon Bay was imminent, and now that the matter of Moon Bay was over, she naturally went back.

"Sister Defulin left before I woke up from my sleep on Sunday. In the letter she left for me, she said that after I transformed into a sword and cut off the last possibility of the evil god's descent, she glimpsed the violence of the First Fire during the disintegration of the ritual, and thus gained a better understanding of the fire.

But doesn't she want to talk to Miss Feliana?"

Shad looked at Luvia in the firelight, and the purple-eyed girl sitting next to him was also looking at him:

"Perhaps the nun will come to Tobesk to visit you soon. The ladies of the Fifth Epoch may know more clues about the First Flame."

Not long after, Mr. Ptolemy Albert, wearing a brown robe, arrived as promised.

He sat opposite Shade and Luvia, nodded politely to Luvia, and then looked at Shade:

"Good evening, Mr. Watson."

"Good evening, Mr. Albert. We want to talk to you about the Chosen Ones and the Whispering Poems, which will become the basis for our cooperation for a long time to come. The person next to me is..."

Candles flickered in the pub on the first floor of the hotel, and guests at other tables were either talking to their companions or reading the nearest newspaper in the dim light of the fire.

The fumes from the kitchen drifted down the ventilation ducts to the street, and Spider Alley was shrouded in the silence of the night, with only the occasional barking of dogs. In the clear night sky, the stars were shining, and March was hanging high here, illuminating the ancient Moon Bay.

The past was like this, and the present is like this.

In short, the discussion of "Whispering Poems" with Luvia and the seventh chosen person went smoothly. Perhaps Shade's reputation with Mr. Albert was too high, so he accepted everything Luvia said and said that he was willing to provide any necessary support for Shade's actions at any time.

Although most of the power of this vampire coroner is sealed, he still has the sword in his hand. In addition, his incarnation still has all the knowledge he gained after becoming the chosen one:

"I have a list here."

He pushed the pages of the notebook he had prepared to the two people across the table. On the two pages were written in scribbled handwriting a list of potions and alchemical items divided into two columns:

"I am a fairly good fortune teller, but Mr. Watson, since you have this lady by your side, I will not mention how helpful my fortune telling is to you. Here is a list of rare potions and alchemical items that I can currently make. The prices at the end are the cost prices, and I will not charge you for the labor.

Except for a few items, I can deliver the rest in kind within a week.”

In addition to the "special light bombs" made by Megan and Miss Swift using the crystals left behind by dead monsters, Mr. Albert's list also includes many strange items related to "light", and these items are unique to him.

Of course, the list also includes a few special potions and alchemical weapons related to "dragons" and "blood-sucking species", such as the "Dragonborn Purification Potion" used to directly purify the dragon blood content of the body, and the "Blood-sucking Instinct Type III Belt" that allows non-blood-sucking species to temporarily transform into a group of bats.

Shade was very interested in these things, so after getting permission, he planned to take the two pages back and study them slowly. However, he was sure to buy the "Dragonborn Pureblood Potion", which would be very useful to the local countess.

The busy day officially ended with the transaction with the chosen one of "Light". Before returning to the ship, Shad held Luvia's hand and took a walk on the dock for a while.

Yuewan City's public security management is very strict nowadays, so this is not a dangerous behavior. When the two stood at the end of the pier and looked out at the sea, the purple-eyed girl suddenly asked:

"Xia De, have you ever blamed me in your heart for dragging you into these troubles?"

"Of course I won't blame you, why do you think so?"

She pursed her lips and looked at Xia De without saying anything. Her brown hair, which was originally shoulder-length, had now gone past her shoulders.

Xia De reached out and touched her hair:

"Because I 'died' once in the Battle of Moon Bay? No, no, I explained it. I just passed out at that time."

"Shad, I'm not as strong as you, but I can still tell whether a person is dead or alive."

She said stubbornly, and Xia De reached out and hugged her:

"Luvia, I swear in the name of the moon and Little Mia, I have never regretted holding your hand. We have come so far, and we will go further.

Luvia, my Luvia, I promise you that I will be by your side until the end."

"Hmm~"

The girl in his arms nodded slightly, hugging Xia De but unwilling to let go:

"I always feel like I owe you. Even if you find more witches to be with you, I still feel like I owe you. I know what you've done for me, Shade, and I won't let go of your hand."

Not far away on the deck of the "Glorious Messenger", the girls watching this scene by the railing were very excited.

"Ms. Louisa, how long do you think Luvia and Shade will hug each other for?"

The pointy-eared elf girl asked in a low voice, but Miss Writer just smiled and watched the scene without saying anything.

The little red-haired princess, who was not very tall and had to squeeze to the front to see clearly, did not blink at all, for fear of missing out on something she could "learn".

In her heart, Luvia is more powerful than her sister Leicia:

"Emilia, I think it depends on when they start kissing. Shad's kiss but oh, Shad is looking this way! He's seen us! Hurry and lower your head!"

On this Wednesday night, Luvia finally felt the passion of her knighthood again. She hugged Shade in the dim cabin, telling him about her fear of his "death", her love, and everything she was willing to give for him.

Even when midnight came and Luvia had fallen asleep in Shad's arms, she was still mumbling to herself:

"Xia De, you can't leave me."

And when Shad closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep, after an unusual feeling of falling, he once again came to the dilapidated No. 6 St. Teresa's Square.

Coming from the attic to the rooftop, the long-haired girl was still sitting on the rooftop looking at the black sun. When Shade hugged her, she sobbed like the girl in reality:

"Xia De, you can't leave me."

The two didn't discuss much during this meeting in the dream, nor did they do much. Shad just held Luvia in his arms and looked at the sun with her.

Xia De knew that his "death" probably frightened her, so he didn't explain much. But before he woke up from the dream, he heard the long-haired girl whisper a word:

"time."
