As for the neighbor on the other side of Shade, that is, the neighbor of No. 7 Saint Teresa Square, it was very unfortunate that Shade was not at home when Shade was about to visit.
Xia De has seen from the information left by No. 5's neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Detective Sparrow that the resident of No. 7 is a researcher at the Steam Machinery Equipment Research Institute of the Royal Army, and the house was inherited from relatives.
However, due to his business trips all year round, the old gentleman would only come back for a short stay in winter every year. And since he wasn't home, Shad didn't have to ask for advice.
"The neighbors on both sides are retired senior civil servants of the kingdom, and researchers who study steam mechanical weapons... Detective Sparrow really knows how to find a place to live."
Although Sparrow Hamilton has been buried in a foreign land, the story of this man still affects Shad.
On Tuesday, the overhaul and maintenance work of No. 6 Place Saint-Andrés officially started. Because the first and third floors were going to be renovated, it was difficult for Xia De to read books at home for the people who came and went in and out of the house.
So he went out early in the morning, and the cat was naturally with him, and Xia De was worried about leaving it at home.
There are many things to do today. The first stop is to visit Luvia at the Prophet Association.
Luvia was investigating the out-of-control darkness outside the city recently, and she was probably very busy, so when she saw her, the purple-eyed girl looked sleepy.
"Good morning, Xia De, I heard that your house is being renovated? The news that the furniture convoy almost blocked the east exit of the Saint-Andrés Square yesterday spread throughout the association. The receptionists on the first floor are all guessing. Yes... Forget it, it’s not a big deal. Is there anything going on today? If you want to ask about Darkness’s news, you haven’t heard of it yet. I only found out the specific name of the out-of-control angel-level relic outside the city It’s [Dark Realm], but we already have ideas for further investigation.”
"No, no, I want to ask you about a male prophet who lived in the Fifth Epoch."
Shad explained.
"Fifth Era? Is it your time key?"
Luvia asked, shaking the spoon in the teacup.
"Yes, although I'm not sure whether the other party is a member of the Prophet Association, but I can only try my luck. Male, probably lived around 1784 in the Fifth Era."
Luvia smiled:
"Look, your time adventure is in trouble again. Shade, go on, this information is not enough."
"His hometown is in the Eastern Continent of the material world of the Fifth Epoch. His name is Sledge Riddle, and the **** he believes in [Mr. Huan] seems to be an ancient god."
"oh?"
The smile on Luvia's face disappeared, and turned into a surprised expression. Seeing her like this, Xia De knew that Luvia knew the name.
Caressing Little Mia who was getting sleepy after eating a full breakfast on the table, Xia De asked with a smile:
"You know? That would be great. I thought I'd be looking for it for a long time. Is this a former member of the Prophet Association?"
"Yes, of course a member of the Prophet's Guild, isn't that obvious? Look, Shad, what's this?"
She pointed to her chest, and Xia De looked at it seriously. No one spoke for a while, until Luvia suddenly blushed and asked:
"What are you looking at?"
"Hmm... where you pointed."
"I want you to watch this!"
She patted the Ouroboros brooch on her chest, which was only qualified to be worn by the staff of the Prophet Association.
"Xia De, what is the oil painting pattern on the first floor? What is the pattern on this brooch? What is Mr. Huan?"
Xia De suddenly realized:
"The pattern of [Genesis Destiny] is ouroboros, the logo of the prophet association is ouroboros, and Mr. Huan is ouroboros! The fortune teller of the prophet association is the ancient **** of fate, a follower of ouroboros?"
"No, only a small number of ring warlocks in the association believe in that ancient god, and the association is not a church...Although we require that every president must be a believer of that gentleman."
Luvia corrected, but didn't expand on the subject:
"Continue to talk about the Mr. Riddle you met. This person is not only a member of the association, but also has some connection with you."
Luvia said cautiously.
"And me?"
"Xia De, I mentioned him to you, but I didn't name him at the time. The secret of this Fifth Epoch Seer is strictly kept by the Association. He has experienced many things and directly affected The development of the Sixth Epoch Prophet Association."
"You mentioned him? Affected the development of the Sixth Epoch Association? Sorry, who is it?"
Xia De was a little curious. He didn't remember that Luvia mentioned the male fortune teller of the Fifth Epoch to him.
"That conversation took place at your house, and I told you about [Vientiane Impermanence Card]."
Luvia reminded, seeing Xia De frowning and thinking, she gave the answer:
"Sledge Riddle, an ancient prophet who lived in the early Fifth Epoch. The Association occasionally obtained a card of Impermanence of Everything hundreds of years ago. When searching for related records, in the deepest part of the document library, Mr. Riddle left In the materials, another card was found, as well as the description and playing rules of [Vientiane Impermanence Card]. The association thus knew the secret of Vientiane Impermanence. Mr. Rhodes, the president of the association at the time, transformed and developed the current card based on these materials. Rhodes card system."
Xia De took a breath:
"It can be said like this."
Luvia nodded while holding a teacup. She is used to drinking an extra cup of morning tea after breakfast:
"Although Mr. Riddle is just an ordinary person, the manuscripts and materials he left before [Vientiane Impermanence] have already played a big role in the association. This gentleman has experienced countless things in his life, but he escaped successfully As an ordinary person, he has studied demons, angels, evil spirits and relics. Although this inevitably made him insane in his later years and ended his life with suicide, his research results in philosophy and occultism have influenced Countless people from the association."
Luvia said to Xia De with emotion:
"Although the association's many changes have caused some data to be lost, if it is Mr. Riddle who lived around 1784 in the Fifth Era, then it can only be him. After all, there are not many outstanding men in the Fifth Era. I really envy you Ah, Xia De, such an outstanding prophet, if I can meet him, it will definitely be a great harvest for me."
"So, I can only know his information from the Prophet Association?"
"Of course, outside of the association, this gentleman is just a nameless man of his time."
Luvia said for sure.
"Then Luvia, can you help me obtain information? I need at least eight paragraphs of information about the dangers this gentleman has experienced or the great achievements he has achieved."
Luvia showed a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"Xia De, that gentleman's information belongs to the top-secret confidentiality level. With my authority... I will try to apply to the headquarters, but I am afraid it will be difficult to give you an answer immediately. It may take a week, or even half a month." possible."
"It's okay, I can wait, as long as there is a direction."
Xia De didn't care about this, at least this time the investigation was smoother than the previous two.
He did not forget to add:
"If it's really helpless, I'll think of other ways. In short, you don't have to be too embarrassed."
"If it can help you, it's not a problem at all."
She said softly, and was satisfied to see the expression on Xia De's face:
"It is a very precious opportunity to get in touch with scholars of the Fifth Epoch. Before you travel through time next time, you can think about asking that knowledgeable gentleman some questions. Perhaps, some of the answers you have been looking for can be obtained by relying on Simple inquiry to get."
"I see."
Before the two parted, probably due to the influence of desire for flesh and blood, Xia De once again thought of the passionate kiss under the moonlight last night. But neither Xia De nor Luvia took the initiative to talk about what happened under the moonlight.
This is a kind of tacit understanding, a tacit understanding of hazy feelings. Xia De understands his thoughts very well, especially after seeing [Desire] in the underground of Aurora Manor, he knows what he wants more clearly; and Luvia, who left like running away last night, also understands herself very well What exactly do you want.
They will go on and on and that won't change, so that's enough, no more questions and no more certainties.
"Luvia, I'm going to Coldwater Harbor to buy some materials and try to enhance the ritual of time perception. If there is any news about Mr. Riddle's materials, remember to let me know as soon as possible. Oh, you look exhausted, Don't forget to rest."
Standing up, Xia De was about to leave.
"Compared to what you did in Coldwater Harbor for two weeks, I'm not tired."
She stood up to see Shade off.
"Oh, by the way, Luvia, what's your middle name?"
Xia De, who was about to leave, suddenly asked.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
The purple-eyed girl flicked her hair hanging by her ears, her short shawl swaying slightly as she stood up.
"It just occurred to me that during exam week, I found out that your middle name is the letter F, but what exactly is it?"
Full names are only mentioned on very serious occasions and in very serious conversations, and asking for a middle name is a relatively private behavior in this day and age. Luvia blushed slightly and blinked:
"Fiocchi."
She spoke in a very standard common language of Delarion, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com in an operatic accent:
"Luvia Fiocchi Anita (Luvia Future Anita)."
Xia De nodded:
"I remember, the name is very good."
"Thanks."
Standing on tiptoe and kissing Xia De's side face, the purple-eyed girl put her hands behind her back, smiled and stepped back a few steps and stood in the morning light in front of the window:
"Go about your business, oh, and don't forget your cat. If you leave it behind, I'll abduct it."
"It's not my cat yet."
Xia De emphasized again, beckoning to Mia, the orange cat nimbly jumped from the table to his palm, and then along the arm to the shoulder.
"Good luck today, Luvia."
"Good luck today, Shad."
