Because of the whole day on Wednesday, Xia De spent almost half of his time in bed. This "lazy" life made Xia De think that he was influenced by the [Lazy] spirit rune. But in the laughter of "her", Xia De thought it was influenced by Seyu.
"No, I haven't opened the "Pink Book" yet."
In short, after ruling out the suspicion of Sister Devlin's first candidate, the possibility came to Priest Augustus and Joy Barton, a first-ring warlock.
So early on Thursday morning, Shad set off for Fort Midhill. Of course, he took Mia cat with him, after all, he dare not leave this cat alone at home now.
After finding a way to contact Priest Augustus in the Church of the Dawn, the two asked for a room in the Sikar Hotel.
Afterwards, Shad used the key of the [Traveler's Travel Gate] to connect his home with Mibao again, and let Luvia come to the hotel to observe Priest Augustus carefully.
"What the **** are you doing?"
The old priest was wearing a gray cloth robe and just sat on a chair the whole time. After Luvia left, he asked Xia De curiously.
"Luvia's divination ability has improved a lot recently, and she wants to do it for all her friends."
Xia De explained, Priest Augustus suddenly realized, and didn't think too much:
"I've finished analyzing the blood brew you gave me at the Fire Worship Festival dinner. As you said, there are only some illegal hallucinogenic drug ingredients."
"The local blood-sucking species are actually just a group of drug dealers, so what do they want to get so many relics?"
"Oh, Xia De, there is no time to deal with blood-sucking species, the problem of narrow space is the key."
The priest stood up from the chair and patted Shad on the shoulder:
"If there is nothing else, I won't have dinner with you at noon. The church needs my help. The big ceremony will probably start next week, or the next week. After the ceremony, I can return to Tobesk , I will probably be able to meet you before winter comes."
After speaking, the priest took his leave and left, while Xia De stayed in the room. After waiting an hour, the key was turned on again, allowing Luvia to return here.
"The first candidate for the dead elect is not a priest."
The purple-eyed girl sat on the chair by the door and gave a brief answer:
"But what's strange is that the priest, like Sister Devlin, has the same probability of being a candidate for the Elect."
"It's not surprising at all."
Xia De shook his head:
"I'll go to the witches first and ask them what they gained from exploring the big hollow in the mountain belly. In the afternoon, I will take Iluna to visit Joey Barton. We will do divination again in the evening. This time, we must take the third chosen person's Things figured out."
"Then be careful."
When Xia De came to Cassandra Auction House, Granny Cassandra and Miss Aurora were there. It happened to be lunch time, and the witches invited Xia De to have lunch.
During the meal, they also explained yesterday's harvest. Just as Xia De thought, behind the platform on the other side of the big hollow in the mountain belly is the relic left by the Witch Emperor.
"Violet Marshall, the ruler of Widun, the Witch Emperor at the end of the Fifth Era. But she was not a participant in the final war. Strictly speaking, she is the second-to-last generation of the Great Witch of the Fifth Era."
The knowledgeable mother-in-law Cassandra introduced the situation, and Miss Aurora added while holding a teacup:
"The emperor left many illusion organs and ritual traps in the ruins on the mountainside. It is hard to imagine that those defensive measures can still work after two thousand years. Grandma Cassandra and I found some magic tricks in the last room. Something of value. It’s the great witch’s notebook, which records some of the witch’s knowledge, as well as the formulas of some interesting alchemy items. In addition, there is a stone tablet, which explains in detail about the passage on the narrow mountainside.”
"So, the mountainside passage is really at the corresponding position in the narrow space?"
Xia De asked expectantly.
"Yes."
The old witch nodded very cautiously:
"The problem of the narrow space cannot be delayed any longer. The church's seals on the foot and top of the mountain are already being prepared, and the seal on the mountainside must also be strengthened as soon as possible. Xia De, if you decide to go with us, come here at eight o'clock next Wednesday morning .”
A week is used for preparation, and it is impossible for the witches to seal the passage leading to the concept of death empty-handed. And after the two earthquakes, the evil spirits in the narrow room are definitely not as weak as when Xia De entered a month ago.
"I'll go with you. Don't worry, if it's really dangerous, I don't have to go close to the passage."
Xia De promised that it was obvious that Miss Aurora didn't want Xia De to go with her, but she couldn't think of a reason to persuade him.
"Also, do you know about the four dead who returned to the world of the living?"
Xia De asked again.
"You know, when the speaker informed the Church of the Five Gods that we would assist in sealing the mountainside passage, the church passed on information to us. In the current method of stabilizing the narrow space, it is equally important to pull out the four nails and strengthen the three seals, but both It is impossible to completely solve the problem of the gap.”
But for Fort Midhill, postponing the disaster as far back as possible is the current consideration.
After lunch, Xia De went to the local Church of the Sun, found Iluna who had sneaked out, and went to the Crow Club in Pigtail Lane with Iluna.
In order to prevent Iluna, the chosen one, from being recognized by others, Xia De borrowed the Keeper-level relic [identity card of unknown name] from Granny Cassandra again. And this time, Iluna's identity is Agatha Holmes, the fiancée of writer John Watson. Because Mr. Watson saw the magical ability of Joey Button last time, he dragged his fiancée to try it too.
"Speaking of which, why do you look... handsome again?"
This was a question suddenly asked by a seventeen-year-old girl when getting off the carriage. It seemed that the flames of the phoenix were really useful.
In short, the two managed to meet Joey Barton, the "Man Against Life" in the darkest room in the deepest part of the club. This gentleman, who is about 5 feet tall (about 1.52m), has unusually thick limbs but looks very thin, is still dressed like last week. It's just that the turban on his head has changed from brown to black, but Shad can still tell that he has no hair.
Joey Barton was also very impressed with "John Watson", the guest who should have died at the beginning of the year. After exchanging courtesies, Shade introduced his fiancée to him.
Based on the principle of saying less and making less mistakes, Iluna played the role of a quiet and shy girl, so she just nodded and sat beside Xia De.
Mia is still following Xia De at this time, but Xia De is not worried that Mia will reveal her identity. After all, Little Miya is very unrecognizable. Although she is very cute, she is indeed an urban orange cat with mixed blood. However, Mia was a little uncomfortable with the smell of spices in the room, and she was also full of hostility towards the crow in the cage at the door.
As for the crow, it seemed to be very afraid of Mia. After the two of them entered the door, they huddled in the cage without making a sound.
"Mr. Button, good afternoon. You don't need to do divination for me this time. Please do divination for Agatha and my dear pet cat Sherlock this time."
Xia De patted the cat's head, and the cat immediately let out a gentle meow. Even the dark room couldn't hide the luster of its fur. The cat's nutritional intake was very sufficient.
"No problem, animals can also divination, but the accuracy is not as good as humans."
Joey Barton obviously didn't want to divination Shade anymore, so he was relieved, and the smile on his face became much more real.
Just like last time, before the official death divination, first use divination cards for divination. After Iluna explained the cards she wanted to draw, Xia De turned them over for her, and the cards read "Heroes".
"good sign."
Everyone was happy that the situation did not happen last time.
Then the orange cat came to draw cards, and Xia De was worried that it would make trouble, but when he held the cat close to the coffee table, the cat just stretched out its small paw and slapped it on the cards in the second row. After turning over, the face of the card is "the sun".
The divination cards did not start with the current 108 cards. It is said that there were only 13 divination cards at the beginning, and the "sun" was one of the original divination cards.
"Mr. Watson, this is also a good sign~www.mtlnovel.com~ It means that your pet cat is very vigorous and healthy."
Mr. Barton said the polite words of not wanting gold pounds, and motioned to the people across the coffee table to sit down, and he was about to start divination officially.
He still took out the invisible Rhodes card to cover his right eye, and then looked at Iluna with his left eye. The girl with short brown hair was a little nervous, pulling on Xia De's sleeve with her right hand.
After waiting for a few seconds, Mr. Button put down the cards and shook his head regretfully:
"Sorry, can't see it."
Although his tone was a little confused, he wasn't as surprised as he was when he was divining for Shad last week.
"can not see?"
"Yes, it's a rare situation, but I haven't encountered it. Just like the fortune tellers of the Prophet Association, it is impossible to make accurate words for everything. Even I, it is impossible to see Everyone's death, it's normal... at least more normal than yours."
Mr. Button said, without giving Shad a chance to ask questions, he covered his eyes with cards again, and then looked at the cat held by Shad.
"Meow?"
Mia squatted on Xia De's lap, and looked at the "child" across the coffee table with her big confused eyes.
There was a moment of silence in the room after the meowing of the cat. The inexplicable inspiration made Xia De understand that something was about to happen—
"oh!"
Mr. Barton lowered his head with a scream, and the cards in his hand were casually thrown onto the table. This middle-aged man, who looked like a child but was actually in his forties, covered his face with his hands. And Xia De clearly saw blood flowing from his fingers, and his left eye was bleeding.
