The man wearing glasses asked in surprise. Shade thought for a while:
"Well did you bring your wallet?"
"Of course I did. Who would go out without a wallet?"
"Give me half of the money in your wallet as a thank you for saving you."
The other party obviously never expected to encounter such a request, but if he could really leave with money, he certainly wouldn't question it.
So the man who called himself "Claude Binns" took out his wallet and said to Shade:
"You saved me, of course I just need some money, I'll give it to you.
We can hear that this cemetery has secrets, but it’s not because of careful investigation. You should know that big aristocrats like the Wright family actually have many descendants. A professor from the Yuewan City School of Literature has done research,
Among contemporary Yuewan residents, at least 5% of their ancestry is related to the seven major families."
He put the coins and banknotes in his wallet on the ground one by one:
"Only one of the many heirs can inherit property and titles. And the descendants who leave the family and drift away from the family have more or less things they brought from the family in their hands.
About two months ago, in Xiacheng District, sorry, I can't say the specific location. A poor pregnant woman fainted in an alley in Xiacheng District. We rescued her and helped contact the 'Snake Heart Hospital' to allow her to stay and it was successful.
A son was born.
She wanted to repay us, so she gave us the pendant that was said to be left by the child's gambler father before his death. We didn't want to accept it, but looking at the woman's look, she hated the man so much that she didn't want to accept it at all.
Let your son have any kind of involvement with that man again, even if the gambler has been beaten to death because of debts."
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the lower city. Shade has known the coroner Mr. Albert for nearly two months, and occasionally heard him tell stories about various corpses during the conversation.
Once you get involved in gambling, it's not just the gambler himself who will be ruined.
"Is there something wrong with the pendant?"
"Yes."
He took out the silver pendant from his pocket and placed it next to the coins on the ground:
"We just regarded it as a thank-you gift from the woman at first, and didn't pay much attention to it. Until recently, um, 'devotee', yes, our leader is called 'devotee', and he asked us to investigate the seven major
The ancient secrets of the family, and then we realized that the symbol behind the pendant was very similar to the contemporary crest of the Wright family, only distorted.
After repeated inspections and divination, I discovered that if the pendant is illuminated with light at a specific angle, the address here will appear in the shadow of the pendant. But the address only points to a range of this underground tomb area. I think the ancient ring
When the warlock left this pendant, he probably didn't expect that the tomb area would eventually become so big."
Shade waved, and the pendant on the ground flew towards him along with the banknotes and change. He checked it briefly and nodded, so the man bowed slightly to Shade and then trotted past him.
Miss Elisa hid in the dark to avoid him, and only came out again when he was far away.
Shade took out the medal that was painted red [Noble Blood Red]. After pressing the medal lightly, the medal transformed into a little bat and chased after the man who left.
After waiting for a moment, Xia De said:
"He left without looking back."
"So, the [Eternal Light], which helps the poor in the Lower City and encourages people to rebel against nobles and businessmen, is really not a simple organization of ordinary people?"
The blue-eyed girl asked, and Shade nodded while counting the bills:
"Yes, that's right. If it's just an organization for ordinary people, why would the 'Light Worshipers Training Society' go to all the trouble to annex them? Mind control, murder control, corpse control, and even disguise replacement are all very convenient. A total of 2 crowns 3
Orr 13 Finny, if you have time later, madam, would you like to honor me and let me treat you to a cup of afternoon tea?"
Shade asked with a smile, so the girl said "reservedly":
"Don't you have an appointment tonight?"
"But you can always make time. Since you came to me, I haven't found any time to spend with you."
"Seeing how pitiful you are, I will promise you."
As he spoke, he kissed the side of his face gently:
"Also, don't apologize to me. You don't owe me, it's me who owes you."
Unfortunately, it is really inappropriate to continue this topic in someone else's underground cemetery.
The location information contained in the silver pendant indeed coincides with the specific location given by Luvia after divination. If the man who belonged to [Eternal Light] was luckier just now, he might be able to beat Sha De two
The person took away the hidden letter in one step.
"But I'm still curious, what methods do they have to hide their fate?"
The blue-eyed girl asked while Shade was carefully kneeling in the corner of a certain tomb deep in the tomb area, digging soil. Shade answered while digging:
"There is no need to explore these now. It seems that [Eternal Light] just accidentally learned that there might be something here, so they sent people here. They did not regard collecting dragon scales as their primary goal. I know that [Eternal Light] has
There might be something really good.”
There was a pause at this point, but Miss Elisa didn't know that Shade had thought of the Silmaril he had been looking for:
"With this connection established, I will have many opportunities to negotiate with them in the future, and I am not in a hurry to use what I am looking for. Now I have found my primary goal!"
The rusty iron box was dug out by Shade, and the cover was cut open with a stroke of moonlight in his hand, revealing the parchment hidden inside that had been treated with a special potion, so not only was it not rotten, but the ink stains on it had not faded.
Shade briefly read the above content and smiled. The location of the white dragon's scales was written on it, and the location was quite close.
After handling the matters here, there was no need to return the horse to the farm when returning to the city. Instead, he rode directly to the dock.
It's just that during the return trip, it was no longer Shade sitting in front, with the blue-eyed girl holding his waist behind, but the girl sitting in front and leaning on Shade's chest, Shade's arm wrapped around her and holding the reins.
.
There were no accidents along the way, but when they were about to enter the city, they discovered that the city gate on the other side of the St. George Stone Bridge was actually under martial law. But it was not because they were not allowed to enter or exit, but because of the Kasenrik soldiers guarding the door.
, warned people entering the city to avoid drinking raw water.
"What's going on?"
Shade still remembered that he promised to treat the blue-eyed girl to a cup of afternoon tea, but she insisted that it would not be necessary for the time being:
"Now is not the time for afternoon tea. Let's go back and ask about the situation."
The two returned to the "Brilliant Messenger" in the heavy fog, and the horse was temporarily kept on the ship for his use. Miss Aurora, who stayed on the ship, also told them the current situation:
"About half an hour after you left, there were many poisoning incidents in the city. By many, I mean more than a hundred."
The great witch of "light" shook her head:
"This luminous thick fog has invaded rivers and wells, causing the water bodies to be infected with the power of the special light. Although the degree is very slight, even a first-level warlock like Agelina will not be affected, but it will affect ordinary people.
To humans, this is still extremely poisonous.
It has now been proven that heating boiled water or praying to the righteous gods before drinking water can avoid being affected. I don't know the specific disaster situation here. Bella has already hurried out to the city council. I hope she can come back before dinner.
"
Because of the environmental and groundwater pollution caused by the steam industry, "drinking boiled water" has gradually become a living habit of residents in big cities, but there are still many people who occasionally drink raw water directly, especially in Xiacheng District. After all, boiling tap water or
Well water also costs gas.
Weird people like nobles and foreigners, even if they don't make tea and just drink plain water, they will definitely heat the water. Therefore, the people affected this time are actually more ordinary citizens of the middle and lower classes.
Although bad news broke out in the city again, there was at least good news, that is, Shade and Miss Elise successfully brought back the white dragon scale.
The parchment in the Wright family's old tomb area directly records that the dragon scales are actually in the tomb area. However, without specific secret words and corresponding opening rituals, you can't get the dragon scales even if you dig the entire tomb area three feet.
.
"I was shocked at the time. The ring warlock of the Wright family was actually proficient in space power. The white dragon scales were almost sealed in subspace. It was hard for me to imagine that the Wright family had ever had such an outstanding ring warlock. Belin
Neither Miss Del's detection method nor Luvia's compass will work on this kind of scales."
When Shade, Miss Elise, Miss Aurora and Luvia sat down at the long table in the cabin banquet hall, Shade said this.
The parchment was placed on the table together with the small box containing the dragon scales. The size and shape of the shimmering white dragon scales were no different from the other four dragon scales.
The other four dragon scales had been stored on the safer "Brilliant Messenger" after the portal was established, and they had also been taken out by Miss Elisa at this time.
The five dragon scales, black, green, gold, silver, and white, even if they are not placed in a specific position, they have a tendency to attract and resonate with each other.
"With each additional dragon scale, the power inspired by these scales becomes stronger. It feels like an exponential increase."
Shade commented, Luvia nodded and was about to speak when she saw Tifa, an elf girl with pointed ears, walking over.
The little unicorn and Agelina also came to join in the fun, so Luvia explained to everyone:
"Although it is unlikely that Emilia will go to the battlefield in the end, she has drawn the sword after all, and she is also one of the candidates. It is necessary for her to understand these things, and after that, I also invited Ti
There is no way to give her special training for the battlefield."
