"The relic is stored in the Rhine General Assembly in Kaserik, so don't even think about touching it, Shad. The association has reached an agreement with the Church of the Five Gods. This relic, which can usurp the power of the Ring Warlock, is not allowed to leave the general assembly, and every Every use must be supervised by at least one High Ring Warlock of the Church."
In fact, even if he could contact him at will, it would be impossible for Xia De to leave Tobesk and go to a foreign country. Although Lengshui Port is far away, there is a statue of the ancient **** in the basement for teleportation, and Xia De in the Principality of the Rhine is really unfamiliar.
"I understand, but the god-calling characteristics of the 0-level relics have disappeared, right? Could it be because the old **** has also gone away?"
Xia De asked again, he didn't know the title of the old god, he only knew that the other party was a **** related to "gambling", and his image was a mysterious person shrouded in a black robe. These vague conditions make it impossible to find information.
Luvia shook her head regretfully:
"I can't answer this question for you. That table was in its current state when the association took it in. Compared with the Prophet Association, you are the one who knows its original state best."
Xia De nodded:
"Last time I was in the Dreadfort, I spent too much time asking Mr. Riddle about the situation, and I didn't have time to investigate other things. It seems that this time, I will find a way to get more information about that god. Even if If you can’t win at the gaming table, you have to find a way to win outside the gaming table.”
Xia De came up with his own idea, and the purple-eyed girl smiled and said:
"That's cheating."
"No no, Luvia, I don't have the guts to cheat in front of a god. Everything I do is within the rules. It's a pity that I don't play the Rhodes card, otherwise I don't have to worry so much. The Vientiane Impermanence card is The only special items that can be taken to the past, with them, my luck in playing cards will increase."
"But in that era, where was the Rhodes card?"
The purple-eyed girl had a pretty smile, and then she asked:
"Anyway, be careful with everything tonight. Get up, is No. 6, Place Saint-Terrain completely repaired?"
"It's fixed, the final payment was made this morning, but they asked me to open the windows for a while, otherwise the smell will be bad. The third floor can now go, and I asked them to repaint the walls of the first floor and the basement .The decoration, the furniture, the plumbing, the gas lamps and the steam pipes, it's all in place, and now Six Place Saint Teresa feels like a home."
"So you still live on the second floor?"
she asked curiously again.
"Of course, I'm used to living there. I always feel unsafe in Room 2 on the second floor where there was a mass suicide case, so like the third floor, there is still no furniture. However, because Mia and I live together The wall between Room No. 2 and Room 2 is not a load-bearing wall, so I asked someone to open a door on the wall of the living room for easy access. As for how to use the space in Room No. 2, I will discuss it later.”
"What about the first and third floors?"
"The first floor is used as a guest room. There are three large bedrooms, and the master bedroom has an additional bathroom. The third floor is currently unfurnished, and it is left unused as a whole. It is convenient for me to hold ceremonies, practice thaumaturgy, and do dangerous alchemy experiments."
Shard arranged the room very well:
"I heard from the Church of Dawn that there was also a strange accident on the third floor. It was a disappearance case. A certain owner of No. 6 once disappeared after going to the third floor, and his body was never found. So for safety, three The building is still unoccupied.”
"Your house is really queer."
Luvia carefully reminded:
"If the two ring warlocks who died on the first floor were driven into frenzy by the power of the idol because they competed for the secrets of the basement, then it would be a bit far-fetched to explain the suicide on the second floor and the disappearance on the third floor by using the basement. You'd better look through the previous records of the house, and pay attention to the way of death of each owner, and there may be some rules."
She thought for a moment, then laughed again to let Xia De relax:
"But you and Mia lived there for two months, and nothing happened. I think maybe there is nothing wrong with the house, maybe the danger of the house is not effective for you at all. After all, compared with the real danger you experienced, What is that house?"
Hers made a lot of sense, Sparrow Hamilton's death might have been an accident, and Shad was more than willing to believe that his house was all right.
On the way home from the Prophet Association, Xia De used the cat food he secretly brought out from home to feed the wild cats nearby.
After returning home, she was still a little worried about being discovered by Mia, but the completion of the maintenance of No. 6 Place Saint-Derains made Mia, who was used to living in this house, very happy. It didn't realize that its food reserves were running low. That night when Xia De was reading Mr. Riddle's biography, Mia ran around the house very energetically.
Xia De's hearing is very good, and the house is very quiet, he can even hear the orange cat jumping upstairs.
As expected, it was very interested in Room No. 2 on the second floor as Dorothy once "reported".
De didn't close the doors of rooms 1 and 2, so the cat rushed in with great interest.
But it has no purpose, just sniffing around, as if looking for something.
The usable area of the house is larger, but because of this, No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa is a bit deserted. Even if Shade doesn't walk around at night, he will turn on all the gas lamps in the stairwells and corridors on each floor, so the gas bill will probably be higher in the future.
"Do you want to invite others to live here with you?"
But the problem is that the invitation itself is suggestive. Although the social atmosphere is open, and the nobles of the upper class have chaotic relationships between men and women, girls from decent families will not live with men before marriage.
"It is still necessary to confirm whether this house is dangerous."
Xia De, who was sitting on the sofa holding a document with the headline of the "Prophet Association" printed on it, was thinking, and then he waved to Mia who came in from the door again. The cat ran over immediately, and jumped onto the sofa. Consciously lying on Xia De's lap:
"But all in all, life is really getting better."
(Mia is running)
"May the world tree bless me in time."
Turn the key, and there is endless white mist behind the opened door.
Xia De stepped into the white mist door, and the whisper sounded just right at this moment:
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Fifth Era Winter 1784, Northern Continent, Dreadfort. 】
[Event: Gambling - Game of Life. 】
[The duration is twenty minutes (2/3). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】
[The ancient **** of time gives you a test. 】
[Help mortals win the "gamble of life". 】
[The father of the infinite tree will give you rewards: thaumaturgy - breath of time, a piece of real information - dark dungeon. 】
At present, Xia De has not encountered a situation where the information given by [Father of the Infinite Tree] has changed, so after hearing this string of information here, he did not stay in the white mist and continued to move forward.
The fog dissipated, and the icy air surged up together with the smell of decay. The bright white mist was replaced by dim yellow flames, and the ancient corridor appeared in front of him, while the feeling of being peeped appeared behind him:
"So, why can't you just send me to my destination?"
This time, there was no time for Xia De to look back and forth, and the candle flames in the squares on the wall had already begun to shake violently. The piercing wind was blowing from behind, and the completely unreasonable sense of fear forced Xia De to run away.
With the experience from last time, Xia De knew that this was a straight road, so he ran without any worries. But two minutes later, he saw the metal door with the flip coin symbol appearing in front of him. Xia De rushed forward, knocked open the door and fell directly into the room.
The door closed automatically as if a spring had been installed, shutting out the unknown creatures that existed in this strange place.
Panting for breath, he got up and looked up at the room. This room with a rectangular stone tile floor is still the same. The kerosene lamp on one side of the central square table illuminates a small half of the room, and the candle on the table goes out again, leaving the other half of the room in complete darkness.
On the desktop, colorful phantoms representing witches, evil spirits, and giant dragons are eagerly floating above their respective grooves~www.mtlnovel.com~ and they are wearing brown robes, barefoot, and wrapping their heads with scarves Mr. Dell, at this moment, was trying to get up from the wall.
He widened his eyes, looked at Xia De's haggard face, showing a look like he was on a pilgrimage, and then he opened his arms to Xia De:
"Oh, you're back!"
Xia De thought that this poor man who was trapped here alone wanted to hug him, so he didn't care that the other party might not have showered for several months, and opened his arms to hug him too.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Riddle just opened his arms and didn't mean to hug at all, which made Shad feel a little embarrassed.
"After I left, do you think of any more memories?"
Shad asked cautiously, Mr. Riddle shook his head in a trance, his mental state was really worrying:
"After you left, I can barely feel the passage of time. My spirit jumps back and forth between sober and coma. If I didn't feel the mighty power of my lord [Mr. embraced."
He seemed to have weak legs and feet, and after standing up suddenly, he had to hold on to the wall to stand firm. Xia De took a few steps forward and supported the poor man. Given Mr. Riddle's distressed condition
, Xia De prepared the food in advance.
After the gentleman recovered, he handed the food, which had been transformed from a toy to a real object, to Mr. Riddle.
Mr. Riddle didn't care about Shad's extraordinary ability at all. After getting the stir-fried vegetables, fish soup, vegetable salad and fruit, he sat on the ground and gorged himself without even taking the tableware.
