The next day was Thursday, when Xia De woke up early in the morning, he received a letter from Miss Galina. The witch asked him to go to her manor this afternoon to meet her absolutely, absolutely, and undeniably.
Xia De knew that she wanted to ask about Lengshuigang, so he yawned and put the letter aside, and enjoyed a quiet breakfast with his cat at home.
After eating, Xia De changed his clothes and prepared to go out. He took the towel and motioned for the cat standing on the window sill to look at the pigeons with great interest:
"Mia, do you want to see the sea and the lighthouse?"
"Meow?"
This cat probably still can't understand the words "sea" and "lighthouse" in Delarion's common language. But seeing Xia De calling it, he ran over joyfully.
So two hours later, Xia De stood in front of the lighthouse guarded by old Mr. Edmund with the cat in his arms, and looked at the sparkling and undulating sea far away from the sea cliff with Mia who stared wide-eyed. .
The appearance of the orange cat with its mouth open and eyes staring is really ridiculous.
Today is a good day. Under the blue sky, although the sea is not calm, the sparkling waves are much friendlier than the red ocean. Standing on the sea cliff, blowing the sea breeze at the end of summer, basking in the warm sun, and listening to the deafening sound of churning waves, this feeling makes Shade, who came to Lengshui Port this time, really feel like he is on vacation.
Mia, a pet cat born in Tobesk, probably saw the sea for the first time. When Shad transformed it from a puppet back to a real cat on the edge of the sea cliff behind the lighthouse, the cat curled up in Shad's arms with all its fur.
But after confirming that the sound of the waves would not harm it, Mia curled up in Xia De's arms and looked around, and even became interested in the seagulls flying in the sky. The sea breeze made its soft short fur stick to its body, and the bright sun shone on the orange cat's body, making the orange and white hair shine as if it were glowing.
Of course, Xia De sincerely hoped that the seagulls hovering above the lighthouse would not have the habit of defecating indiscriminately... Judging from the traces on the ground nearby, these seagulls were more rude than he thought.
In such fine weather today, Mr. Edmund hung a sign saying "Go Fishing" on the door under the lighthouse, and was not at home. Xia De was not in a hurry to look for him on the nearby coast, but hugged the cat to enjoy the sea view.
He had already heard about the end of the Coldwater Harbor incident from Miss Aurora. The local murloc sect forces were almost completely wiped out, and the few surviving murlocs were once again like their ancestors, lurking in the city in the form of humans, waiting for the next conspiracy after thousands of years.
The unexpected appearance of the "God Caller" made yesterday's dawn battle end faster than planned. In the eyes of the people in Lengshuigang, yesterday morning was only due to the abnormal movement of the monsoon and the discharge of urban pollutants. increase, resulting in changes in the color of the sky and the color of the ocean in a small area in a short period of time.
It didn't have much of an impact on the lives of ordinary people.
As for the victim who stepped into the sea under the influence of the mermaid's curse during the sea return ceremony. Although the official statistics are not over yet, according to the Witch's calculations, the total number will not exceed 600, including the fishing boats that capsized in the open sea because they did not return to the port in time.
Compared with the scale of this incident, this kind of sacrifice is completely within the acceptable range.
"This world is really dangerous for ordinary people."
While hugging the cat and looking at the cruise ship passing by in the distance, Xia De said with emotion in his heart.
If there were no mysterious events happening around us, ordinary people probably would never understand how dangerous the world really is in their lifetime. And once it is associated with relics, ring warlocks, or cults, the survival rate of ordinary people is actually very low.
This can be seen from the girl Sophie Days's family to the painter Mr. Freeman who collects oil paintings, from Tobesk's Summer Goddess, to the shadow of Coldwater Harbor.
The Orthodox Church is currently working with the Lengshuigang City Hall to carry out related aftermath work. And the ring warlocks who gathered in this seaport city in name because of the murlocs are also leaving in an orderly manner. The Witch seems to have released the news locally that the second candidate has left Lengshuigang, and now the traffic arteries around Lengshuigang should be paid attention to and investigated.
The red ocean receded, the murloc ruins in the abyss disappeared, and the giant mermaid corpse that had been split into four pieces melted into the sea. On the whole, at the end of the summer of 1853, the cult events at Coldwater Harbor came to a relatively perfect conclusion.
What people are most curious about now is actually the whereabouts of the thirteen-ring warlock "God Caller". The church believes that the ring warlock obtained the means to heal himself in the temple of the murlocs, and healed the damage he suffered when Tobesk called the gods.
Therefore, the Church was sure that he would not leave the Old World for the New. Although I don't know which side the "God Caller" belongs to, judging from his movement trajectory, this thirteen-ring warlock is also interested in the thirteen chosen ones prophesied in "Whispering Verses".
From this perspective, the church’s inference should be correct. However, if they want to find Xia De, they may have to wait for a while. It is not an easy task to connect the detective in Tobesque's Saint Teresa Square with the thirteen-ring warlock fishing in Coldwater Harbor.
Xia De hugged the cat and was thinking about something. He didn't see the sea view for long. Mr. Edmond was carrying a fishing rod, a bucket in one hand, and a metal toolbox that could be used as a stool in the other, and walked around the path under the sea cliff. come up.
His harvest today is quite good, without the influence of abnormal tides, this old gentleman living by the sea has shown quite amazing fishing skills.
When I approached the lighthouse, I realized that there were actually guests coming to visit. When Xia De turned around with the cat in his arms, the old man had a surprised expression on his face:
"Do you need a mask? Papa John met in Tobesk. I am afraid there are not many acquaintances who can introduce business, and it is even more unlikely that there are many people who know [Light Guiding Priory]. Combined with my height and body shape, You only need a few letters to easily figure out who I am."
Shad shrugged. He had thought of this when he ran to the lighthouse on a rainy night, but it was worth it for that drop of divinity.
"No, actually I didn't mean to ask John at all. It doesn't matter to me whether you are Reggie's Hamilton."
The old man continued to climb up with the bucket and the metal box with great difficulty. Shade greeted him, put the cat on his shoulder, and helped Mr. Edmund carry the bucket. Inside the tin bucket, there are now four bearded fish swimming. The clear water reflects the sunlight, allowing Xia De to see all the body details of these aquatic creatures.
Mia is very interested in these fish.
"The hermit will not be interested in the secrets of the transaction partner, as long as you don't hinder us. Don't worry, young man, I will not mention your matter to anyone, and I don't want to know what you and the **** caller have. relation."
After struggling to get to the lighthouse, the old man rummaged for the key in the brown vest full of pockets that he wore when fishing. As soon as he opened the door under the lighthouse, the cat that was locked in the lighthouse jumped out immediately.
"Meow~"
Mia, who was still obediently staying on Shad's shoulder, immediately "roared", and the cat, which was much larger than Mia, actually took a step back because of the "roar", and seemed to be frightened by Mia. arrive.
Shad touched Mia to let it be quiet for a while.
Entering the lighthouse with Mr. Edmond, the old man packed up his fishing gear before sitting down with Shad and talking:
"The Priory is an organization formed to deal with the end of the world. As long as you don't hinder us from collecting and preserving information about civilization, and you don't have any ideas about destroying the world, then we can be friends. As for secrets, oh, young man , and which ring magician has no secrets? Even if you say now that you are the Godcaller, I will not be surprised at all."
Xia De called out the ring of life behind him:
"Unfortunately, I'm not."
"It's a pity indeed."
Mr. Edmond sighed regretfully:
"Originally, I was expecting you to be. In this way, I can have one more trading partner with the thirteenth ring."
He pulled the gas valve on the wall and simmered hot water on the small stove.
"However, I do know the thirteen-ring warlock. If I have a chance, I can introduce him to buy things here."
Xia De said, seeing that the old man was noncommittal, he put his hand into his pocket~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then took out the big leather book "Mystery of the Ocean" that was absolutely impossible to stuff into his pocket without a trace:
"This is what I promised you, the secret book of the Scarlet Esoteric Cult. After I entered the city that night, I found a sea return ceremony node, attacked them with the help of my friends, and got this."
He handed the book to Mr. Edmond, who took it, got up from the desk, took the paper bag containing the banknotes and returned it to Shad, and then sat down and rubbed the cover with his hand.
"It's not made of human skin, is it?"
Xia De asked with some concern.
"Of course not, this is the skin of a male gold-plated seahorse. There is a very small amount of gold in the feces of this magical creature. Although the amount is very small, raising gold-plated seahorses is one of the few in the material world, and it can be almost free way of converting other substances into gold."
The old man explained that transforming gold reminded Xia De of the famous relic [Sage's Stone].
Mr. Edmund put the big book on his lap, opened it carefully, and checked the chapters in it at random, while Shad looked at the decoration inside the lighthouse for himself.
This book is written in murloc script, and it uses murloc script from more than one era. Shad could understand everything, but Mr. Edmond could only understand part of it.
