Latest URL: Dr. Schneider was very busy on Monday afternoon. When Xia De arrived in a carriage, he was providing psychological counseling for a patient with severe insomnia recently, but he still found time to meet with Xia De.
Dr. Schneider's psychological consultation is charged according to the length of time, so he is very good at hypnotherapy. It is even more handy to treat insomnia caused by mental illness.
Xia De didn't hide what he was going to do, but he didn't accept the entrustment of the witches.
After listening to the doctor, he frowned tightly and shook his head gently:
"If you don't have to, I don't recommend you do such a dangerous thing.
But since you have already decided, I will not interfere with your choice, it is better to be careful. I don't have any advice to give you, after all, I have never been to the narrow room where you live. It's true that you can't carry relics into your dreams, but I have a way to save you from being so embarrassed. Wait a minute. "
He asked Xia De to wait in the reception room for a while, and he walked out of the room...
It took a long time for the doctor to come back, holding a black crystal pendant in his hand. Delicately woven black string is attached to a golden hook at the top of the crystal in a sailor's knot. The crystal presents a hexagonal shape, and the flat ones are unremarkable. On the crystal plane, there are incantations written in the devil language, and the distorted symbols can be felt with just a glance:
"The alchemy item 'Devil Amulet' I made myself. When you dream, hold it in your hand, and you can use part of the power of the devil in the dream."
The doctor handed the pendant to Xia De, and then added:
"Relax, using this power will not pollute your soul. But the soul injured by this power may be corrupted by demon power, so don't be seen by others as you use it or be seen by others as you."
If Xia De and the doctor didn't have such a deep friendship, the doctor would never have come up with this kind of thing. Because this is evidence, evidence that clearly shows that the doctor is involved with the devil.
Shad also understands the risks of doctors doing this:
"I will be cautious. Doctor, how much gold do I have to pay you?"
"No need, last time you took me to devour the Balrog, I haven't officially thanked you yet. If you really want to thank me, meet the devil next time."
He paused, then shook his head immediately:
"You must never encounter demons again. Those things are not something humans should touch. In short, be careful in your dreams. I hope that the friend entrusted to you can really guarantee your safety."
Since the doctor can bring Shad the power of the demon in his dream, then Priest Augustus should also be able to bring Shad the power of the angel of death in his dream. But the priest had followed the church team into Mount Xikar, and Shad couldn't find him at all, so he had no chance to use the power of demons and angels at the same time.
Seeing that it was still early, and after dealing with Tobesk, Shad went to Midhill Castle to meet Iluna. Iluna did not go into the mountain, she will stay in the natural church in the city, responsible for the core part of the ceremony.
It is not easy to meet Iluna in the Church of the Sun as the ceremony approaches. After a hasty meeting with Xia De, Iluna also knew what Xia De was going to do. Although she was as worried as Luvia, but because she had full confidence in Xia De, she only reminded him to be safe.
"The ceremony will be held tomorrow evening or the evening of the day after tomorrow. After the ceremony, I will return to Tobesk in the steam airship. I will see you in Tobesk on the weekend."
Seventeen-year-old girl looks happy:
"Xia De, after I go back, let's go to dinner with Luvia and watch an opera. Although the scenery of Midhill Fort is good, I spend all day preparing for the ceremony in the church, or go to the city with the team to clean up Evil spirits are really boring. I have seen more evil spirits recently than I have seen since I left the Holy See after my training period."
"Don't talk like that until the dangerous thing is over."
Shad warned, Iluna nodded:
"Then pay attention to safety. However, the local forces of the Truth Society will be wiped out, and vampires who don't know what they are doing have confirmed that they will not enter the urban area. Now that the academy and the church are working together, I can't think of an accident other than Joey Barton. Besides, what else could have gone wrong this time.”
It is precisely because I can't think of possible accidents that the next thing is full of risks.
Saying goodbye to Iruna, Shad went to the post office in Fort Midhill again. Due to the dense fog throughout the city and the nightly martial law at City Hall, there were very few people in the post office. Although the people living here did not know what would happen next, they also understood the unusualness of this event from the thick fog that lasted for a whole week.
Everyone seemed worried, and the local newspapers sold at the post office also reminded citizens not to enter the mountains for the next two days, and to close doors and windows after nightfall. Even when inquiring about the news, Xia De also heard rumors that the post office was haunted last night.
The church has sent people to deal with it this morning, and people are forbidden to talk about the details of this matter. Even those who don't believe in ghosts have to admit at this point that Fort Midhill has been getting weirder lately.
Before the post office closed this evening, it was the last chance to send a letter to the Red Water Camp on the mountain. Shad sent the amulet of expelling evil spirits that he carried with him, as well as the letter reminding him of safety, to Captain Lades. The captain will definitely participate in the church's action to block the forest. Xia De hopes that his few ordinary friends in this world will be safe in this matter.
Walking out of the post office and looking at the sky full of fog, Xia De knew very well that no matter how well prepared the church was, there would never be no victims. What the church can do is to make the loss smaller, but what is the final outcome of Fort Midhill, even the most brilliant fortune-teller can't be clear now:
"I was unprepared before the night of Tobesk's descent, and I was just uneasy before Darkness entered the dark realm. This time, the situation seems to be even worse. Will the stories of the chosen ones always end in disaster?"
The coachman who sent Xia De to the manor was also very worried. He planned to rest for two days after sending Xia De to the manor. Even if the family has no income, it is impossible to work in this weather. From his mouth, Xia De learned about the evil spirit that appeared in the city every evening and randomly boarded a carriage. Since last Wednesday, four coachmen have gone missing and their bodies were later found in the Sikar Mountains.
And this kind of thing is no longer uncommon in the foggy Fort Midhill City.
There was nothing to do in the evening, and Miss Aurora fought Shade a few moves in the vast basement of the manor. Xia De is not the witch's opponent, even if the opponent deliberately suppresses the power of thaumaturgy and spells, he still can't take advantage of it.
Miss Aurora wanted to try Xia De's current fighting style, and provided him with a lot of suggestions afterwards.
From midnight to two in the morning, the two spent time in the study. For a small part of the time, Miss Aurora told Shad about the scenery of the southern country Carson Rik, and most of the time they analyzed the situation in Fort Midhill together.
The witch believes that even if the sealing ceremony of the "Scar of the Sacred Tree" is successful, the accidents caused by the violent shock and resistance in the narrow space will at least cause three or even four figures of victims in the city. She is not alarmist, and the saddest thing is that this is the best result that can be imagined.
At two o'clock in the morning, Miss Aurora and Shad took a carriage and went to the Cassandra Auction House in the center of Mibao in the late night fog.
The night in late autumn is already full of coolness, coupled with the thick fog that diffused from the narrow space, the whole city seemed to have completely fallen into a peaceful sleep. In addition to Xia De, the witch and the female coachman, there are Miss Aurora's maid and an accompanying female sorceress with 6 rings on the carriage.
Xia De chatted with Miss Aurora about cat raising experience, while looking at the night in the dense fog.
When they turned left on Elm Street and entered Constantine Commercial Street, the carriage stopped suddenly.
The witch frowned, and the coachman's voice came at this time:
"Miss, there is a little girl standing on the road ahead."
"There is a probability of more than 90% that it is an evil spirit."
Miss Aurora said, and got out of the carriage with Xia De.
Horse lanterns were hung on the front and back of the carriage, but like the gas lamps on the side of the road, the lights could only slightly illuminate the white mist. In the thick fog ahead, the figure of a short girl loomed. She stood motionless in the middle of the road, even if the coachman shook his lantern, he couldn't drive her aside.
"Recently there have been frequent reports of hauntings in the local area. Citizens are avoiding going out at night because they are worried about encountering such a situation."
Miss Aurora introduced to Xia De, and then told Xia De not to move around, she will solve this matter herself:
"It's not very strong. We are in a hurry, so you don't want to come here."
The figure of the witch in a long skirt walked into the fog and disappeared quickly, while the figure of the girl was still standing in the middle of the road.
Xia De raised his eyebrows and looked at the coachman, who shrugged his shoulders to signal Xia De not to worry.
Sure enough, tens of seconds later, the dense fog ahead was illuminated by golden light. With a dull roar, everything returned to calm.
The girl's figure disappeared, and Miss Aurora walked over again, showing no trace of the battle at all:
"Let's go, I hope I don't encounter any evil spirits blocking the way again."
"What does that evil spirit want to do?"
Back on the carriage, Xia De asked curiously.
"She asked me ~www.mtlnovel.com~ where is her mother."
The witch sat opposite Shad, leaning against the wall of the carriage, where there were soft cushions:
"Souls always have all kinds of unwillingness and obsession, but if you sympathize with them, you will only make yourself a fool. What should go can't stay. Many people just don't understand this truth."
"So do you think I can successfully persuade Joey Barton to give up resurrecting the dead?"
Xia De asked, and Miss Aurora smiled:
"Some people can't put it down after picking it up. This requires them to figure it out on their own, rather than relying on others to convince them. Xia De, don't you know the answer yourself?"
The rattling hooves of the horses couldn't travel very far, and the carriage that was driving again quickly disappeared into the thick fog. In the middle of the night, evil spirits roam the city, and the church team runs around in the shadows. March hangs in the air as usual, so peaceful and beautiful. It's just that the moon, in a short period of time, can't shine on the mountain city under the white mist.
