The black-haired coroner's eyes moved towards the card surface:
"This is the reward I promised when I invited you to solve this matter. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid things would be more troublesome. I don't want [Eternal Light] to easily provoke [Gray Gloves] or [MI6]
】, let alone provoke them at the same time."
Standing under the bridge, he looked at the river flowing towards the southern ocean:
"[Eternal Light] is still very weak now. I can neither let it get involved with a large organization like the [Light Worshipers Training Society] nor cause trouble in the world."
"Then do you see that there is something weird about this card?"
Shade asked again, and Mr. Albert smiled:
"Of course I can. Everyone has their own light. I can clearly see it at close range. For example, the moonlight on you is so pure and charming. The chosen one Iluna...
Bayas's body was covered with the blazing sun's rays.
The light of objects is weaker than that of living creatures, but I can also see some. With this card placed in front of me, my sight can even directly see the spirits and elements scattered in the world.
of tide.
A coveted target for soothsayers and high-level sorcerers, all it takes for me is to pick up this card."
A few chosen ones can get special abilities from the "All Things Impermanent Card", such as Joey Barton. What he and Mr. Albert have in common seems to be that they both had wonderful experiences in the New World.
"Then why don't you keep it?"
Shade asked again, and Ptolemy Albert shook his head:
"If I say that I want to use this card to exchange for you, the 'God Caller' becomes my friend, do you agree?"
"we are already friends."
"No, you regard me as a friend only because of Armand's existence. You and him are the so-called true friends. Our relationship is indeed friendly enough, but it is still not enough. Mr. Watson, do you want to talk to me about the Chosen One?
Is it right?"
Shade glanced at him, and then looked at the Taton River flowing in the fog. There was a shoal under the bridge, and there were still ships preparing to enter the sea on the wide river. At a glance, the lights on the large ships in the distance were simply
Like the eyes of a sea beast.
"Yes."
Shade nodded:
"The divine descending ceremony of the [Dragon Feast Order] is coming soon. Even if I am the so-called 'God Summoner' this time, I am not confident that I can defeat that god. Mr. Albert, I won't beat around the bush - I will be the Dragon Feast priest."
The field appears again, are you ready to face your fate? The evil god tried to obtain the power of the ancient god, but the power of the ancient god should be able to defeat him."
After sighing, the coroner asked Shade:
"Did you know that I encountered strange things in the New World?"
It didn't seem like he was deliberately changing the subject, so Shade nodded:
"I have investigated your past through other channels, and I would like to apologize to you here. Yes, I know that during your service in the New World, you encountered a giant dragon in the dense forest of the valley."
"That's not a dragon."
The middle-aged vampire's voice suddenly became very soft. Even if Shade was right next to him, he had to pay close attention to hear:
"It was a beam of light, and to this day I can't describe the experience.
A beam of light that has been traveling in the material world since a long time ago hit us that day. Many of my colleagues melted into the light on the spot. I was also within the attack range, but I was strangely not affected.
That beam of light assimilates.”
This should be the so-called "adventure". The outsider was looking forward to this when he first came to this world, but later he stopped looking forward to it, because his adventure was behind him.
【Thanks.】
"She" said softly.
"That ancient light was integrated into my body. It existed in the material world for too long, and the information recorded in it turned into a pure spirit and became a part of me. As a result, I gained strength, discovered my talents, and knew
It’s about the chosen ones.”
He smiled:
"When I first met Armand when I was young, I was not a fortune teller. It was that incident that allowed me to see the context of history and destiny, and that made me become a fortune teller. So, I lied to you, Armand did not.
You, he doesn’t know that I am a fortune teller.”
"Is the unknowable relic [The Diamond of Hope] in your hands?"
Shade asked again, and Mr. Albert nodded:
"I understand the Chosen One Ceremony and "", Mr. Watson, you don't need to explain these to me. Just before I agree, can you answer me a question?"
"Of course, please ask."
"Would you sacrifice yourself if necessary?"
Shade was startled. Not long ago, under the tree of the Forgotten Church in Randall Valley, the guardian also asked this question.
This time Shade's answer was still the same:
"No, I don't live alone. There are people who need me. I can't die like this."
He knew this was not the correct answer, but outsiders never liked to lie to such questions.
Ptolemy Albert looked at the Taton River in the fog and was lost in thought:
"But what if justice requires your sacrifice?"
Shade shook his head:
"I never think that I am righteous, Mr. Albert. I only do what I want to do. I don't believe in the nonsense that with great power comes great responsibility."
"But it seems to me that you are just unwilling to bear the pressure of the word 'justice.'"
He finally looked at Sha De again. The vampire's somewhat special eyes looked directly into Sha De's eyes. The middle-aged man was very serious at the moment:
"[Eternal Light] also needs me. Do you know what the invitation you sent means to me?"
"Of course I know. You have to complete the trial at the site of the divine descending ceremony, perform the rituals of the ancient gods, and then face an evil god directly. Yes, this is very dangerous."
The coroner nodded slightly:
"So do you think I should say yes to you?"
This time, Xia De finally did not answer immediately. He was unwilling to sacrifice himself, and naturally he could not force others to sacrifice themselves:
"I have no idea."
"Well, let's make a contract. No, not with the contract between you and Marquis Morson, but with my contract."
The six-ring life ring behind him slowly emerged. This close contact allowed Shade to clearly see the four core spiritual runes of Ptolemy Albert: Enlightenment [Blood], Enlightenment [Thorns], Enlightenment [Newborn]
Light], enlightenment [Monster].
As the core spirit rune - [Primary Light] lit up, his hand also shimmered.
That was not a special light that diffused in the fog, nor was it a four-color spiritual light. It was the purest and most primitive light. Just by looking at this light, Shade almost felt that his skin had a tendency to transform into the form of light.
He held his hand up, and "she" in his ear gently reminded:
[Outlander, you have come into contact with the light of the First Age left by the ancient god "Dragon of Glory", and you have experienced a miracle. 】
[Outlander, your thaumaturgy "Ancient Voice" triggers: ]
[In the first era, the ancient dragon god used his own scales, nascent light, mortal courage, the violence of the first fire and the hope for a new world to create the world's first dragon. He hoped that his eldest son would help him
Sorting out the light of the world and managing the dragon clan, but the eldest son eventually went on the wrong path because of greed for power, and was deprived of "light" and name by the Dragon God. This is the "unknown eldest son".]
"So, Mr. Albert's light is"
[Just one of the thousands of rays of light.]
[Outlander, you have come into contact with the power of the ancient gods. Are you willing to make an agreement with the chosen one in the name of the light of the God of Light? 】
Mr. Ptolemy Albert, who was holding hands with Shade, asked seriously:
"What is your real name in the name of light?"
Most contract-type abilities require a real name, so Shade is not surprised:
"Shad Suellen Hamilton."
The coroner was startled. He obviously knew the name. Even though it was a very serious occasion, he still asked:
"What? Hamilton? You are the one from Tobesk, sorry, this is really... Ahem, in the name of light, Shade Hamilton, are you willing to make an agreement with me:
If I, Ptolemy Justice Albert, become the chosen one and die in the Battle of Moon Bay, you will give up part of your power and merge into the [Eternal Light];
If you, Shad Suellen Hamilton, died in the Battle of Moon Bay because of your protection, I will give part of my light to the people closest to you;
If we all survive the coming war, we will exchange the strengths that each other needs most."
Shade raised his eyebrows and easily understood his intention:
"You fancy my moonlight? Do you want to use your own participation in the war in exchange for my moonlight?"
"I just want one ray of light. This is not a disadvantage to you. After all, what I brought out is the light of the ancient god."
The coroner replied, while Shade was hesitating, "she" in his ear said:
【Promise him.】
"Okay, I agree to this agreement."
So the ancient light in Mr. Albert's hand wrapped around Shade's hand. The ancient light was only partially integrated into Shade's body, making him feel that his strength had been slightly improved.
And when this simple but non-violable agreement ended, Xia Decai curiously asked:
"What is Eternal Light? I thought it was just the name of the organization."
"After I met the [Eternal Light] organization in Moon Bay, I gave a new name to the light I held. If I die, the light I met in the New World will leave again. Although the ancient God of Justice
He has left, but His light is still running in the world, and I will not be the last person chosen by the light. Just like justice will always exist, it’s just that we can’t notice it.”
The coroner drew the Holy Emblem of the Ancient God on his chest quite piously, and Shade did not dwell on this:
"So how much do you know about the ceremony of the chosen one now? I mean the content of the ceremony?"
"The location is the [Dragon Feast Sacrificial Site]. The content of the ceremony is to draw a sword, or in other words, forge a sword. This requires five ancient relics and the seven dragon scales passed down by the seven major local families. No, I will return from the army.
This is not why I chose to stay in Yuewan after arriving in the Old Continent. When I came here, the light had not yet given me this knowledge."
