After breakfast, everyone went about their own business. Shade asked Miss Bell to deliver the news to the church first. After confirming that everyone in the Dragon Feast Sacrifice above Moon Bay had been temporarily cleared, Miss Elisa temporarily
Driving the "Brilliant Messenger" left Lake Ulen and arrived at Moon Bay.
So after visiting the sleeping owl at 9:30 in the morning, the flying carpet carried Shade and Bella, flying to the sky above the City of Fortune in the sunshine, and finally landed at the "Dragon Feast Sacrifice"
the edge of.
Coming here again after two months, the countess was still very touched by this. Shade came here this time for the heart of the dragon. In death last night, Jindel gave Shade the dragon heart.
The heart of the beast was currently in an ice box and was held in Shade's hand. During the Battle of Moon Bay, Shade obtained the beast's heart by devouring a drop of divinity from the evil god - [Dragon Devourer], the nameless eldest son of the ancient god.
Thaumaturgy-[Dragon Feast].
This magical technique allows Shade to obtain the corresponding breath and characteristics of the dragon by devouring the dragon's heart, and even the skills engraved in the soul. It's just the same as [Blood Wine Brewing], such a "human-eating" ability Shade
It will not be used. As long as it is a creature with the same intelligence as humans, even if it looks different from humans, Shade will not regard it as food.
But this time is obviously different. Since Jindel gave the heart to Shade, Shade regarded it as a gift and thanks. The only issue that needs to be considered now is whether the heart of a dragon beast with impure blood will be used in thaumaturgy [
What effect will there be under the action of Dragon Feast?
Originally, Bella said that she could fly up directly with Shade in her arms, or that Shade could turn into a cat, but she was strongly opposed by Shade.
"Didn't Flora say that she was teaching you partial transformation? I thought that with your talent, you would be able to learn it quickly."
The two walked from the edge of the sacrificial field, stepping on the gray-white ground towards the interior. Bella put her hands behind her back and said with a smile beside Shade, while Shade shook his head:
"Flora did give me a very thick notebook, and she would occasionally talk about this topic with me. But later Miss Denister told me that after I was promoted to the ninth ring, she would teach me directly
To be able to fly, you don’t need to learn some weird deformation of growing wings.”
The blonde countess smiled, guessing about the "infighting" between Flora and the librarian of St. Byrons:
"But at least Flora's partial transformation is still very useful to herself. Recently when Luvia and I were doing divination together, she often said that you really like the cat ears that Flora transformed."
"Meow?"
Little Mia on the shoulder then shook her ears. The location here is extremely high, and even the morning sun in early winter is extremely dazzling. Little Mia likes the environment here very much.
When Bella arrived at Vista Grove on Monday, she asked Shad out for a walk and chat. However, on Monday night, Shad finished helping the doctor and fought a demon controlled by the "Paradox Bug", so it was already very late when she went back.
, so that night walk didn’t happen.
This time there was a new opportunity, and they were not in a hurry to go back, so Shade and Bella walked around the sacrificial site together. The sacrificial site was very large, and it would take a long time to walk from the edge to the center.
Bella told Shade about the changes in Moon Bay City in the past two months after the end of summer. She talked about the Moon Bay Bridge that was about to be completed. She also talked about how after the Belindel family completely took control of the city council, a small number of the original family members
Members who opposed her became her supporters.
"Is there anyone in the Belindel family who opposes you?"
"Even if I am so beautiful, not everyone likes me."
The countess said with a smile, there was no one else here except her, she spoke very relaxedly:
"When the completion ceremony of Yuewan Bridge is held, you can attend it with me."
"Of course there is no problem, but will the corruption issues during the construction of the bridge not be investigated?"
Bella Belindel then winked at Shade:
"Do you think that list should be made public?"
Shade also laughed.
The countess still remembered that the legal principles governing Moon Bay actually belonged to Shade, so she told Shade what happened in the city below her this autumn as if reporting work. However, Shade really didn't want to hear these topics, so
He changed the topic in time, and the specific manifestation was that he talked about his own troubles:
"At the end of the Battle of Vesta Grove, what choices will I face?"
"Divination is not omnipotent. Luvia also discussed this matter with me."
The beautiful countess held Shade's hand:
"Although we can't see clearly the future of that small town in the forest, at least we can be sure of one thing. Shade, you can always solve those seemingly unsolvable problems. We all know that you can definitely do it.
.”
After the Battle of Moon Bay, [Dragon Feast Sacrifice Site] did not have an exact ownership, but all the forces that participated in that war - except [Dragon Feast Order] and [Light Chaser Club], all received
Rights of use here.
The church is responsible for the maintenance and research here, so the traces of the war have now been almost cleaned up. After crossing the arch made of giant stone pillars and entering the core area of the sacrificial site, you can see the gray dragon statues that are completely different.
They were placed randomly and regularly, but what Xia De needed was to find a random statue to perform the "Dragon Feast Ceremony".
"Do you want to light a fire and roast the heart?"
Bella was joking, and Shade immediately shook his head:
"It's not really asking me to eat it, it's just symbolic."
He melted the ice surrounding his heart, looked around, and chose a statue of a lying dragon with its neck stretched out. Although these stone sculptures were colorless, judging from the shape and body of the dragon's head, this should be a dragon.
Bronze dragon.
The heart was placed in front of the statue, and then Shade temporarily handed over little Mia to the countess. This made the cat a little dissatisfied, but it only barked a few times.
Then Shade summoned his life ring, and the profane-[Dragon] emitted a dazzling silver aura. Although he had never actively used this power, Shade knew what he should do.
He took a deep breath and raised his arms. As the silver blasphemous spiritual light illuminated the heart and stone statue in front of him, a blood-red stream of light immediately rose from the surface of the black heart.
"Thumbs-Dragon Feast!"
Those streams of light drifted towards him as Shade swung his arms. Profanity [Gluttony] also flickered at the same time, and the silver phantom of the human-sized moonlight dragon appeared behind Shade, and opened its mouth to swallow those red
of optical flow.
Bella noticed that the eyes of the bronze dragon statue seemed to light up during this process, and when the heart completely turned into blood flow and was swallowed by the phantom behind Shade, she hugged the cat with a stinking face and said with a smile:
"What you did just now was really funny."
"After all, this is the magic of cultists. Who of the serious people would gain power by devouring the heart of intelligent life?"
Shade replied like this, controlling the life ring and hiding in the steam mist again. As for the harvest——
[Outlander, you have swallowed the heart of the mutated black dragon. The dragon feast is in progress, please wait a moment]
[Outlander, you have mastered the thaumaturgy of dragon breath. In any form, you can output energy through breath. Corresponds to the [dragon] spirit rune. 】
[Thumbology-dragon breath, currently corresponding breath types:
By devouring more powerful dragons or acquiring breath spells, Thaumaturgy - Dragon Breath can gain more enhancements.】
[Outlander, you have obtained the spell - flying. You have mastered the ability to fly. This spell comes from the power of wind controlled by the mutated black dragon. 】
So Shade floated into the air in front of Bella. Bella raised her head and watched Shade floating in the air for a while, and then said after he landed on the ground again:
"Isn't that just the speed?"
"It can be faster, but it won't be faster than the peak flight speed of my red butterfly incarnation."
After all, with Shade's mastery of the power of the red butterfly, he can now even turn into a stream of red light and fly in a short period of time. The flying ability from that dragon beast is really just ordinary flying.
This spell only gave Shade the ability to float in the human form. If he really wanted to use the power of flight to travel, it seemed better to turn into a red butterfly.
But this power is free after all, so Shade won't dislike it.
And considering that just one heart gave him a new spell and a new thaumaturgy, it was so simple and easy to gain power through "swallowing", even Shade thought about whether he should find some in the future.
The evil dragon tried to use this ability again, but then he denied his idea:
"Unless it's a gift, I won't eat the heart of the dragon even if I kill it with my own hands."
After confirming this, his mood suddenly became better. Outsiders regarded this as their own moral obsessiveness and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
The time agreed upon with Miss Elise to pick them up was during lunch, so after Shade flew down from the arena with Bella in his arms, he went to meet Matilda who had returned to Belindel Manor in advance, and then
We handled the countess' official business together.
What happened on this Thursday morning was lackluster. Perhaps fate was also trying to compensate this city, which had actually been destroyed once in the summer, but now the disaster that spanned the entire material world did not cause many ripples in the city.
When Shade and Bella appeared at the lunch table, Carina observed the two of them carefully, and then made a disappointed gesture.
"What do you mean?"
Bella asked curiously, and Xivi, who was sitting next to her and holding a fork, said:
"Just now we were talking about whether there would be lipstick marks on Shade's face or neck when he comes back."
