Chapter 2414 White Dragon Scale
"You're willing to let me go?"
The man with glasses asked in surprise. Xia De thought for a moment.
"Well, do you have your wallet?"
"Of course I did. Who would go out without a wallet?"
"Take out half of the money in your wallet and give it to me as a thank you for saving you."
The other party obviously had not expected to encounter such a request, but if he could really leave by paying money, he certainly would not question it.
So the man who called himself "Claude Binns" took out his wallet and said to Shade:
"You saved me, so of course it's no problem to just pay some money, I'll give it all to you.
We heard that this cemetery has secrets, but it was not after a very careful investigation. You should know that aristocrats like the Wright family actually have many descendants. A professor at the College of Arts in Yuewan City has studied that at least 5% of the bloodlines of contemporary Yuewan residents are related to the seven major families. "
He put all the coins and banknotes in his wallet on the ground:
"Only one of the many descendants can inherit the property and title. And the descendants who leave the family and drift away from the family more or less have some things they brought from the family.
About two months ago, in the lower city, sorry, I can't tell you the exact location. A poor pregnant woman fainted in an alley in the lower city. We rescued her and helped contact the Snake Heart Hospital for her to be admitted and successfully gave birth to a son.
She wanted to repay us, so she gave us the pendant that was said to be left by the child's gambling father before he died. We didn't want to accept it, but from the look on the woman's face, she hated the man so much that she didn't want her son to have any involvement with him, even though the gambler had been beaten to death because of his debts.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the downtown area. Shad has known the coroner, Mr. Albert, for nearly two months, and he would occasionally hear him tell stories about various corpses during their conversations.
Once you get addicted to 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 initially just regarded it as a thank-you gift from that woman and didn't pay much attention to it. Until recently... Well, the 'Pious', yes, our leader is called the 'Pious', he asked us to investigate the ancient secrets of the seven major families, and then we realized that the symbol behind this pendant is very similar to the contemporary family emblem of the Wright family, but it is deformed.
After repeated inspections and divination, it was discovered that if the pendant is illuminated with light at a specific angle, the address of this place will appear in the shadow of the pendant. But the address only points to a range of this underground cemetery. I think when the ancient ring wizard left this pendant, he probably didn't expect the cemetery to become so large in the end. "
Xia De waved his hand, and the pendant, banknotes, and coins on the ground flew towards him. He checked them briefly and nodded, so the man bowed slightly to Xia De and then trotted past him.
Miss Elizabeth hid in the shadows to avoid him and did not come out again until he was far away.
Xia De took out the medal painted red [Noble Blood Red], and after pressing the medal lightly, the medal transformed into a small bat and chased after the man who was leaving.
After a while, Xia De said:
"He left without looking back."
"So, the Eternal Light, which provides relief to the poor in the Lower City and encourages people to rebel against the nobles and merchants, is not simply an organization of ordinary people?"
The blue-eyed girl asked, and Shad nodded while counting the bills:
"Yes, that's right. If it's just an ordinary organization, why would the Light Worshipers Institute go through so much trouble to annex them? Mind control, killing, controlling corpses, and even changing appearances are all very convenient. A total of 2 crowns, 3 ols, and 13 pfennigs. If you have time later, ma'am, would you be willing to honor me by letting me treat you to a cup of afternoon tea?"
Xia De asked with a smile, and the girl said "reservedly":
"Don't you have an appointment tonight?"
"But I can always make time. After you came to me, I never made time to be with you."
"Since you look so pitiful, I will agree to it."
Then she gave him a light kiss on the side of his face:
"Also, don't apologize to me. You don't owe me an apology. I owe you one."
It's a pity that it's not appropriate to continue this topic in someone else's crypt.
The location information contained in the silver pendant did coincide with the specific location given by Luvia after divination. If the man from [Eternal Light] had been luckier, he might have been able to take the hidden letter away before Shade and the others.
"But I'm still curious, what methods do they have to conceal their fate?"
The blue-eyed girl asked as Shade knelt carefully in the corner of a tomb deep in the cemetery to dig the soil. Shade answered as he dug the soil:
"There's no need to explore this now. It seems that [Eternal Light] just accidentally learned that there might be something here, so they sent people here. They didn't consider collecting dragon scales as their primary goal. I know that [Eternal Light] probably really has something good in its hands."
There was a pause here, but Miss Elither didn't know that Shade was thinking of the gem he had been looking for:
"With this connection, there will be plenty of opportunities to negotiate with them in the future. There's no rush to use the things I'm looking for. Now I've found my primary goal!"
The rusty iron box was dug out by Xia De. With a stroke of the moonlight in his hand, the lid was directly cut open, revealing the parchment hidden inside that had been treated with special potions. Therefore, it not only did not rot, but even the ink on it did not fade.
Xia De simply read the content and smiled. The location of the white dragon's scales was written there, and it was quite close.
After finishing things here, he didn't need to return the horse to the farm when returning to the city, but rode directly to the dock.
But on the return journey, it was no longer Shad sitting in the front with the blue-eyed girl hugging his waist from behind, but instead it was the girl sitting in the front leaning against Shad's chest, with Shad's arm around her holding the reins.
There were no accidents along the way, but when they were about to enter the city, they found that the city gate on the other side of the St. George Stone Bridge was under martial law. However, it was not that people were not allowed to enter or leave, but the Carsenrick soldiers guarding the gate warned people entering the city to avoid drinking raw water as much as possible.
"What's going on?"
Shade still remembered that he had promised to treat the blue-eyed girl to a cup of afternoon tea, but she insisted that it was not 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 "Glory Messenger" in the fog, and the horse was temporarily kept on the ship for future use. Miss Aurora, who stayed on the ship, also told them the current situation:
"About half an hour after you left, there were multiple poisoning cases in the city. By multiple, I mean more than a hundred."
The Great Witch of Light shook her head:
"This glowing fog has invaded rivers and wells, causing the water to be contaminated with the power of the special light. Although the degree is very mild, even a first-level warlock like Ajelina will not be affected, but it is still highly toxic to ordinary people.
It has been proven that heating raw water or praying to the gods before drinking water can prevent being affected. I don't know the specific disaster situation here. Bella has hurried out to the city council. I hope she can be back before dinner."
Due to the environmental and groundwater pollution caused by the steam industry, "drinking boiled water" has gradually become a living habit for residents in large cities, but there are still many people who occasionally drink raw water directly, especially in downtown areas. After all, boiling tap water or well water also costs gas fees.
Nobles and foreigners are strange people. Even if they don't make tea and only drink plain water, they will definitely heat the water. Therefore, the people affected this time are actually more ordinary citizens from 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 Elither successfully brought back the white dragon scale.
The parchment in the old tomb of the Wright family directly recorded that the dragon scale was actually in the tomb. However, if there was no specific secret language and the corresponding opening ceremony, the dragon scale could not be obtained even if the entire tomb was dug three feet deep.
"I was shocked myself at the time. The ring mage from the Light family was actually proficient in spatial power. The white dragon scales were almost sealed in the subspace. It was hard for me to imagine that the Light family had ever had such an outstanding ring mage. Miss Belindel's detection method and Luvia's compass were useless against this kind of scales."
Shad said this as he, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Aurora, and Luvia sat down at the long table in the cabin banquet hall.
The parchment and the small box containing the dragon scale were placed on the table. The size and shape of the glowing white dragon scale was no different from the other four dragon scales.
After the portal was built, the other four dragon scales had been stored on the safer "Glorious Messenger" and had now been taken out by Miss Elither.
The five dragon scales, black, green, gold, silver and white, even though they have not been placed in specific positions, they already have a tendency to attract and resonate with each other.
"With each additional dragon scale, the power stimulated by these scales becomes stronger. It feels like an exponential increase."
Shade commented, Luvia nodded and was about to speak when she saw Tifa and the pointy-eared elf girl approaching.
The little unicorn and Ajelina also came over to join in the fun, and Luvia explained to everyone:
"Although it's unlikely that Emilia will go to the battlefield in the end, she has drawn the sword after all, and is one of the candidates. It's necessary for her to understand these things, and later, I asked Tifa to give her special training for going to the battlefield."
