After Professor Garcia left, Xia De continued to slump on the chair with his eyes closed. After a few minutes, he quietly squinted his eyes and looked around the silent living room to confirm that the other party had really left, and then sat up straight.
Touching the sweat on his forehead, under the light of the gas lamp, his face showed an expression of just waking up from a dream. The appearance just now was of course a fake, it seems that the deliberate performance was right. According to the professors of St. Byrence, even just seeing the abode of God should not be easy.
Looking down at the basin again, under the light of the brass gas lamp on the wall of the living room, there is not a drop of water left in it. Only the dry elective parchment scroll lay quietly inside, without any writing on the back.
"What happened just now?"
He asked his head, and at the same time took out the key in his pocket. Sure enough, it was still the time key, but the surface of the key was covered with cracks.
"Why can the key be reused? Why did I encounter the task of [Father of the Infinite Tree] when I traveled through time and space for the first time? Why is that **** called the ancient god? The thirteen original gods mentioned by the old god... ..."
[Outlander, I am you, you don't know, and I don't know. 】
The woman chuckled.
[All the differences I have shown so far from the normal situation all come from your particularity. The knowledge of the Delarion language is that I have absorbed the broken memory of the last soul in my body; being able to perceive the relic at close range is a special feature of the soul of an outsider. I am you, this is your special. You don't know, and neither do I. 】
The explanation she gave was completely consistent with Xia De's thoughts during the day.
Xia De listened to the words in his ear, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the ceiling:
"In this world, I finally saw a **** with my own eyes."
He sighed, and after he fully recovered, he thought of more things:
"Thirteen ancient gods, why have you never heard of such a statement? The father of the infinite tree... the thirteen founding series of Rhodes cards, the last thirteen witch emperors of the fifth era, what is this? What kind of coincidence? The number thirteen must have some special meaning. Everything originated from the ancient gods?"
[Maybe you can guess for yourself, I think you should already have an idea. 】
"Yes, but there is no evidence for this idea..."
To sum up tonight's "adventure" with a sigh:
"This time, at least I didn't lose anything."
[You also obtained the spell [False Immortality]. 】
"But I didn't complete the task and get paid for thaumaturgy and spirit runes."
[You still have two more chances. 】
"I don't understand the power of the 'God's afterglow' that the old **** said."
[But at least you are still alive, and you still have unlimited possibilities. 】
"Actually, I am very grateful that you can speak in my ear. Although I am still not sure what you are, it feels good that someone can always be by my side. Don't comfort me, I am not such a fragile person. Since Seeing the opportunity to gain power, I will not let it go...the afterglow of the gods...maybe Priest Augustus will have an opinion."
Looking at the bedroom door which was slightly opened with a gap, Mia, the orange cat who was tired from playing, squeezed out of the door sleepily, but the cat was obviously not that narrow.
Amber's big eyes looked at Xia De, and his short legs took a run-up, and rushed to Xia De's knee. After lying down, he didn't feel Xia De touching it for a long time, so he slapped Xia De's leg with his paw very dissatisfied.
Xia De then reached out to stroke the soft fur on Mia's back. The orange hair was extremely soft and warm, as if holding a small stove.
"Meow~"
It turned over on Xia De's lap, kicked its four legs wildly, exposed its white belly to Xia De, tilted its head and looked at Xia De from below with its big eyes. Only then did the outsider feel that he had completely got rid of the piece of clothing just now. Mental impact of the event:
"Thank you too, Mia. Thank you for liking me so much."
He played with the orange cat with his hands, looked up at the window covered by heavy fabric curtains:
"god."
The stranger muttered to himself.
(Mia is running...)
The next day was Thursday of the fourth week of Sunshine Moon. When he was picking up the newspaper, milk and goat milk in the morning, Xia De really received a letter from the "Taylor and Wanda United Mining Company" in the southern part of the kingdom. It was the page of the poem manuscript that allowed Xia De to directly contact the academy, exactly the same as the one of Dr. Schneider.
When having breakfast with Little Mia, Xia De still hesitated for a while. Although Professor Garcia said that he could write the report on behalf of him, Xia De finally wrote another one himself, and then described his physical condition, and passed it to the college through the pages of the poem manuscript.
The college's reply was also very fast, and it seemed to be the reply written by Professor Garcia. The handwritten cursive letters looked like continuous vines. He asked Xia De to pay attention to rest. The credit rewards and other rewards for this investigator mission will be decided after the college meeting of the History College.
This kind of investigation event ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that almost saw the gods raised the [Time Key] level of the Fifth Epoch-1068 to the angel level. Therefore, Xia De guessed that if he really saw a god, he should be classified as an unknowable level 0.
After dealing with these matters, I whispered good morning to the woman in my head for the first time, and then clipped the page of the poem manuscript in the novel "The Silver Knight". Now the broken key is locked in the drawer of the bedroom desk by him. The spell [False Reality] obtained yesterday can only be used in a seriously injured state. Xia De is not willing to hurt himself or the cat until he is seriously injured and dying, so he can't use it for the time being.
But at least he got a new spell, and the effect was extraordinary.
He still didn't understand what happened last night, and planned to try to open a new [Time Key] after the School of History summarized the matter to confirm whether last night was a special case.
Although I really want to get the fifth era-1068 task reward, thaumaturgy-blade of chaotic time and spiritual rune [Echo], but the old **** [Creator of Innocence] said that he must at least have the power of "God's Afterglow" to complete it Task.
So before he understands what the "afterglow of the gods" is, Xia De will not waste the remaining two chances of the key in his hand.
"Could this be caused by the particularity of my soul again? Don't think about it too much for now. Today's goal is the Prophet Association."
He said as he straightened his clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, while Mia rolled and played on the bed behind him.
[Outlander, your soul is very special, this is still a problem caused by your characteristics. I am you, there is no doubt about it. 】
Said the whispering voice, the voice was pleasant. It was the first time Xia De heard the other party speak like this. She seemed to be in a good mood, probably because Xia De said good morning to her.
