Dorothy went back to the Rue Quill to pack her clothes, which would not take long, for Rezia had already stocked up their daily clothes at the Place Saint Teresa. There are not many other advantages of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, but it is large in size and has a lot of space.
Xia De left Mia at home, but he did not return to the Three Cats Hotel, but took a carriage to the Roentgen Avenue in the eastern part of Tobesk. He met the last customer in the afternoon at the psychological clinic and was about to go to dinner Dr. Schneider.
"demon?"
In the study on the third floor of the psychological clinic, the doctor who heard Shade's story about "Victor's Box and the Devil" repeated in disbelief:
"Here? In Tobesk?"
He pointed to his feet:
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, demon."
Xia De nodded, so that the doctor does not need to find someone to prepare tea, he will not stay here for a long time:
"I'm pretty sure, it's indeed an evil spirit remaining from the third era, but the other party doesn't seem to be particularly powerful..."
Otherwise, they would not be directly forced away. Compared with the Balrog sealed in Mount Xikar, the demon this time is really weak:
"Of course, it may also be because the opponent is not good at fighting."
Dr. Schneider stroked his chin in thought, unable to believe such a good thing would happen. Shad took out the cloth toy of the bench from his pocket, restored it to its original shape, and placed it on the side of the sofa:
"Look~"
He took out the holy water bottle again and put it on the bench. Seeing that the holy water in the holy water bottle was boiling almost immediately, Dr. Schneider frowned deeply:
"What number of holy water is this?"
"Number four."
"Did you buy it from Priest Augustus? I also bought a batch recently. I don't know where the old priest got the purchase channel from."
The doctor muttered, asking Xia De to wait. He went out of the room and came back shortly with a pepper shaker and a salt shaker.
The pepper shakers are small, as pepper is a rather expensive spice. The doctor spun the cover, then tapped the bench twice lightly, pouring out some black powder from the pores on the surface of the cover.
The salt shaker was very large, and the doctor dug out a spoonful with a small steel spoon, and then spread it evenly on the surface of the bench with the bottom of the spoon.
Xia De and the doctor who was kneeling there looked at the salt together, and within a few tens of seconds, the fine white salt began to turn black. As a strange smell emanated, Xia De held his breath, but Dr. Schneider carefully stretched his head, waved his right palm in front of his nose, letting the smell float into his nasal cavity:
"It's indeed the smell of a demon. Although I can't be 100% sure, I can probably guess who it is."
He straightened up, and with Xia De's consent, he threw out the black Balrog flame from his hand, directly burning the entire chair. There was no smoke, but there were some pitted black crystals on the burned ground, which were collected by the doctor.
Any items that retain the power of evil spirits and demons are extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than relics, so they must be destroyed in time.
"The proliferating demon - Fanny. Relying on spreading desire to make oneself stronger, signing a contract with mortals that is not very binding, relying on the contract to ferment desire, and becoming stronger and stronger."
According to Dr. Schneider, the complexion is not easy:
"Although the fighting power of the arsonist Sophix we have encountered is incomparable, this kind of evil spirit that relies on human hearts and desires to survive is even more difficult to deal with. It is the same type of evil spirit as the human pus. Spirit, of course, is older and more powerful than human pus."
"Then are there any well-known stories about proliferating demons in previous eras?"
Xia De asked, Dr. Schneider shook his head:
"It's not keen on wreaking havoc, but disguised as a humanoid creature, active in cities and countryside. By spreading and proliferating desires, it corrupts those originally clean souls. The last time it appeared, that is, the fifth era In the mid-term, it even corrupted the entire human city-state and created tens of thousands of demon servants. Xia De, don't think it is weak, evil spirits that can spread desire and use it as the source of power are often the most powerful devil."
"Can you handle it?"
Xia De asked again, Dr. Schneider snorted and nodded confidently:
The doctor paced the room a few times with his hands behind his back:
"Since you came to see me at dinner time instead of at night, it means you have other things to do at night. I will go to Room 413 of the Three Cats Hotel to check the situation by myself later. Don't worry about me. If Fanny really It’s a good thing not to go.”
On the issue of fighting demons, the middle-aged psychiatrist is particularly confident:
"If the items left by the devil are not absolutely safe, I will not distribute them to you. I will destroy most of the items, and it is enough to leave a few for tracking. As long as the other party does not leave Tobesk, I will be able to Find it. If we are lucky, we will go hunting this weekend, and we must not let it get away."
"Doctor, besides me, there are two other girls who have been targeted by the demon. Do you have any means to protect against the demon? It will be effective in the short term, and Fanny has suffered some injuries, so the situation should be even worse now."
The safety of Dorothy and Rezia is guaranteed, mainly because of Princess Margaret.
"Is Penny hurt?"
Dr. Schneider asked curiously, wanting to ask how Xia De did it. So Xia De hooked out the badge hanging around his neck. The badge had just appeared halfway from the collar, and the doctor who had re-seated on the sofa got up and flipped neatly behind the sofa:
"Okay, okay, there's no need to take it out. Just seeing that badge, I have the feeling of being exposed to the sun at noon in midsummer."
The doctor said with lingering fear:
"Is this a magical item from the Church of the Five Gods?"
He was very surprised:
"I have only heard of this level of magical items. Even regional bishops may not have one. The magical items enshrined in the Holy See all the year round are not necessarily better than this. If Fanny is so stupid as to directly It is indeed possible to be seriously injured by this thing if it touches you. In fact, this itself can protect against demons."
The doctor reminded, but now the bone badge made by Priest Augustus has been integrated with the "Witch Detective" badge, if Xia De gives this to Princess Margaret, as soon as Miss Sylvia appears, the princess will be killed first. Burn it, and you'll immediately guess that there's something wrong with the dishonest detective.
"Is there any other way?"
Xia De asked, the doctor thought for a while:
"I can give you an alchemy item that I made myself. It is not very effective against powerful evil spirits like human pus and arsonists, but if it is the proliferating demon this time, it should have a certain effect."
The so-called "alchemy item" is a black cloth belt, and the material seems to be linen. Although it is pitch black, if you look closely, you can see some dark rune traces in the black. This is an alchemy item made by Dr. Schneider himself using printing and dyeing techniques. As a correspondence student of the School of Mechanical Engineering, he must master the knowledge of forging, chemistry, printing and dyeing, metal cutting, heraldry, etc.
In addition to the cloth belt that was packed in the box, the doctor also gave Shad a wooden key.
"Time key?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"A few days ago, when I was trading on the black market, someone else paid me for it, and I just gave this to you. Only you in our team can use this, and it is considered the intelligence fee for the news you brought about the demon. When we find the demon, the spoils of war Let’s discuss the matter.”
Xia De thought for a while, put the key in his pocket:
"I should be at home these days, doctor, tell me as soon as you find the devil, don't delay this matter."
"Don't worry, I'm more anxious than you."
The doctor smiled, and he and Xia De separated at the intersection of Roentgen Avenue, and took different carriages to their respective destinations. Although Dr. Schneider's luck is not particularly good, Shade believes in his ability to catch demons.
When Xia De rushed home from the east of the city, the blonde girl had already returned with her clothes. When Xia De came to the second floor, she was cooking in the kitchen humming a brisk tune~www.mtlnovel.com~ heard With the sound of Xia De's footsteps, the cat who was squatting on the dining table watching Dorothy cook ran to the door, but soon returned to the kitchen.
Rezia's carriage would pick up Shad soon, so the two had dinner at home together. At the dinner table, Xia De told Dorothy that the devil's problem should be solved soon, and he was very confident about it. The blonde girl didn't care much about it, but asked about the time key in Xia De's hand. What age does it correspond to.
"This must be the key of the Fifth Epoch. The person who sold the key said that this corresponds to the early Fifth Epoch, about 1,000 years ago. I'm not interested in knowing the exact time. After all, I know everything once I use it. gone."
He poked the key on the back of Mia, and after the key touched the cat, Xia De turned it a bit, causing the cat to bark twice, probably complaining that Xia De disturbed it while eating again.
Winter nights always come early, and the snow has stopped by the time the gas street lamps on Place Saint-Derains are lit. Dorothy arranged Shade's clothes herself, and then let him go out as soon as possible, so as not to keep Leizia waiting too long.
This kind of urging made the stranger very strange, but he still set off around 6:30, and waited for the carriage sent by Rezia at the corner of Hunter Street, and the carriage took him directly to the Queen Maria Opera House side door.
The servant who had been waiting for a long time led Shade directly into the box that only members of the royal family can use from the hidden stairs on the side. When Xia De arrived, although tea, snacks and fruits had been prepared in the box, Rezia hadn't arrived yet.
