Chapter 678: candidates

Remember【】for a second!

"It's really interesting."

Xia De made a dry comment and did not continue on this topic. But Priest Augustus thought of another thing and asked Shad with a pipe:

"Tomorrow, that is, on Tuesday night, there will be a large banquet in the city. The venue is part of the courtyard and castle of the Mechanic College in Fort Midhill. The nobles and merchants in the city, and even the church have been invited. I I also got the invitation letter, detective, are you interested in going together, I can get another invitation letter."

"Banquet, who hosted it? What theme?"

Shad asked.

"It's hosted by the local chamber of commerce. This week is the local traditional festival, the Fire Worship Festival. The Fort Midhill chamber of commerce will hold an autumn charity dinner as usual. At that time, some goods will be auctioned, and then donated equally to the charity of the Church of the Five Gods. Auction items In the middle, there may be relics, which will be very interesting. . ”

Priest Augustus said with a smile.

"Charity dinner? In the summer, I participated in a Tobesk charity auction, and I seemed to meet Dr. Schneider."

Xia De thought in his heart:

"Then......"

【...Then you leave the dinner party to face the silver-eyed one, and the banquet is actually a ceremony for the coming of the Lord of the Blood Banquet. 】

"She" added to that incident a few months earlier.

Xia De couldn't help showing a worried expression on his face:

"Priest, I don't want to go. I don't want to be in front of too many people at Midhill Castle."

"Also."

The old priest nodded without forcing it, and then talked about another matter:

"Also, I heard rumors in the church that there seems to be a lot of vampires in the city recently."

"Priest, are you too idle in the church, why do you know everything?"

Xia De joked, and then affirmed the news of Priest Augustus:

"I also know this. The nuns of the spiritual practice group mentioned that the local vampires already have three sage-level relics in their hands. They seem to be planning something big."

"At this time, don't add to the mess with those blood-sucking dirty things."

The priest muttered, vampires are not a kind race in the eyes of the Orthodox Church.

After lunch, the priest gave Xia De a file bag, which contained the new materials he had sorted out in the past half month about the death bay. Although the priest did not enter the narrow room again, he also learned more things during the arrangement of the ceremony following the Church of Nature, and then understood more things that the Church did not know.

And when the two shook hands and said goodbye, another unexpected thing happened.

Shad's hand touched the palm of Priest Augustus, and then the thaumaturgy [Voice of the Ancients] activated on its own, bringing Shad a message about the original era:

[Angels are the first gods created by God in the first era, and the first angels are also the first creations. It knows those ancient secrets, but it is also forced to reduce its own strength due to the departure of the ancient gods. 】

"What's the situation? Could it be that the 0-level relic that Priest Augustus encountered when he was young is really related to the original angel, and that relic is actually in the body of Priest Augustus... said Get up, more than a month ago, the priest and I were in the cemetery outside the city of Tobesk, and met members of the [Society of Truth] who were trying to fuse the relics..."

First, he briefly explained what he had heard about Iluna and the steam airship, and then he told what he had seen and heard from the boy, Sister Divelin and Priest Augustus this morning.

Gu finally took out the blood money and the upright coin, and pushed them together to the purple-eyed girl across the table:

"Just like the last divination of Darkness, please divination whether I have met the Chosen One today."

Luvia's "Cost Divination" cannot directly predict the identity of the chosen ones, or they simply cannot afford the price that needs to be paid. But divination from the side is still possible, for example, this time it is divination of "Xiade's knowledge" instead of directly tracing the source to the chosen person himself.

"Don't consume blood money easily. This is the only relic in our hands that can detect special coins of the same kind. Look at this, before Iluna leaves, take that [Silver Coin of the Fortune Teller] and the clerical-level relic that is said to be able to find the dragon treasure. 【Dragon's Blood Money】Leave it to me."

Luvia produced a silver coin with a smiling face and a sad face, and a blood-red coin as big as three shillings in diameter.

Twist the [upright coin], and throw it into the sky together with the silver coin and the blood-colored coin. But they didn't turn into ashes in the air, but fell back intact.

"The 'currency' attribute of these three coins is not very strong."

Xia De said without any surprise:

"Luvia, spend your blood money, now is not the time to save."

Luvia thought for a while, and bit her lower lip unwillingly, but still threw all four coins into the sky. But the situation is still the same as last time, and the four coins cannot be used for divination.

"It's really strange. I remember that when we were divining Darkness, we only used one [Kolmore Empire Gold Coin] and one [Death God's Atonement Coin]. Why can't we use four this time? Could it be because, death The chosen one is stronger... Sister Daveline from the eleventh ring?"

"No, it could be something else."

Luvia pinched the coins and narrowed her eyes slightly:

"For example, the selected person is actually someone other than the three people you know, but you accidentally met them. Or, Xia De, have you ever thought that there may be more than one candidate among the three positions? .”

Before the ceremony is held, the elect can only be called the candidates of the elect, and the candidates are ranked, there is more than one. Only when the top ranks die before the ceremony is held, the latter candidates are eligible to hold the ceremony. If the earlier candidates still exist, or if someone has successfully performed the ceremony and then died, then the latter candidates will not be able to succeed anyway.

If the candidates for a certain qualification know each other's identities, then a high-intensity hunting operation may be difficult to avoid.

The characteristics of the selected candidates described in "Whispering Poetry" all point to the first candidate, but other candidates with higher rankings will also have similar characteristics to the first-ranked candidate.

However, when the chosen ones of balance and darkness appeared, Shad and Luvia immediately locked on the first candidates, that is, Iluna and Darkness, so there was no need to consider other candidates at that time . But thinking about it now, Xia De even suspects that Dr. Schneider is one of the candidates for the "dark" elect, but it's a pity that Darkness died after holding a ceremony.

"Is there more than one of the nun, the priest, and the boy?"

"Yes, so divination has become more difficult~www.mtlnovel.com~ Luvia nodded and added:

"Of course, there is only such a possibility. But at least I can be sure that among the ring magicians you have encountered so far today, there is definitely at least one candidate, and it is basically among Priest Augustus and Sister Devlin. with that boy."

"I really hope it's a priest, but... Forget it, I'll find a way to tell her the news when Iluna arrives at Midhill Castle on Tuesday."

Xia De sighed:

"There's a lot of trouble in that city."

Saying goodbye to Luvia, Xia De didn't even have time to send the cat home, so he immediately rushed to Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic in a carriage.

He really has a lot of things to do today, and he has to deal with the sealed Balrog with the doctor tonight. Xia De is now going to get the key to the clerical-level relic [Traveler's Travel Gate].
