Although Father Nobel seemed to be a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Dr. Schneider, it was only after he sat down that Xia De discovered that he had obvious gray hair on his temples.
Mr. Bernhardt sat on the same side as Shad, and after learning that Shad hadn't had lunch, he asked the waiter to order again. Father Nobel extended his hand to Xia De in a very friendly manner. After Xia De held those hands, he reconfirmed that the other party was an eight-ring magician.
"This is what I mentioned, the friend from other places."
Mr. Bernhardt introduced, and then winked at Shad:
"This Father Nobel and I have known each other for many years. He is a pious, loyal and trustworthy priest. I have already explained that you are also from our side, and you can trust him."
Shad nodded knowingly, and Father Nobel also accepted Mr. Bernhardt's compliment.
"Good afternoon, friends from other places. Are you looking for the information of 1842 in the universal calendar?"
He lowered his voice:
"I'm not going to ask what exactly you want to do, but you have to promise not to cause trouble in this city."
"Yes, I swear on my soul...if there is trouble, I will fix it. I am a man of peace, as Mr. Bernhardt can attest."
"Yes, this gentleman has helped me out of a lot of big troubles this autumn, and he really loves peace."
Mr. Bernhardt immediately echoed, and Father Nobel raised his glass:
"Respect for peace!"
He said in a solemn tone, and Shad and Mr. Bernhardt also toasted together:
"Respect for peace!"
Three wine glasses collided above the table, and after drinking this glass of wine, Xia De obviously felt that the attitude of the priest opposite was a little gentler. The middle-aged priest with gray temples took out his glasses case from his pocket, put on his small gold-rimmed glasses, and took out his notebook:
"Bernhardt asked me to look for the data in 1842 last week. In fact, after he described it, I almost knew what you were looking for. A lot of things happened in 1842 in the general calendar, sir, as you can imagine, in this There is never a shortage of weird things in this big city. As for the events that match your description, they also correspond to the time and specific events you mentioned..."
He turned the notebook backwards a few pages:
"There was an incident of a sage-level (level 2) relic going out of control in the city. At that time, with the help of the Higher Medical College of Serksex, it took us several months to calm down the incident."
The Church of the Five Gods and the three major thaumaturgy academies have an agreement to notify each other when the sage-level relics appear, so it is normal for the church to receive the help of the academies for storing relics.
"Sage-level relic? I have some impressions, but it's that thing?"
Mr. Bernhardt frowned slightly:
"At that time, I was only in my twenties, far less mature than I am now. Yes, I remember it as an arrow. I haven't encountered a few sage-level relics in my life, and this relic left the deepest impression on me. "
"What characteristic?"
Xia De asked curiously. Father Nobel kept his secrets. When he spoke, Xia De seemed to feel that even the lights in the club room were much dimmer. The fog outside the window swirls and unfolds as the carriage hurriedly passes by, and the atmosphere becomes more oppressive on a slightly gloomy winter noon. The words of the priest brought the three of them back to the time more than ten years ago:

"The sage-level relic [Aikenora's Arrow of Knowledge], the appearance of the relic is an arrow, more precisely, it is a golden arrowhead with a cipher text composed of bronze patterns on the arrowhead. Wooden The body of the arrow is added by a latecomer, and the body of the arrow is not important."
Father Nobel's voice was low and hoarse, and that memory was not pleasant for him:
"One of the characteristics of this arrow is a very rare characteristic. After stabbing the body of an ordinary person, the ordinary person who will become a gifted person in the future can be directly awakened to become a gifted person; for an ordinary person without talent, it will Let the other party gradually become mentally disturbed, photophobic, have auditory and visual hallucinations, increase athletic ability, and be infected with a terrible abscess disease, until the internal organs of the body fail and die."
"Awakening of Accelerated Ring Warlock?"
Xia De was very surprised:
"Is there such a relic?"
Mr. Nobel looked at the two of them:
"If you know the ancient Heman language of the fourth era, you should understand the meaning of 'Aikenora'..."
Because he got the pronunciation right, Shad gave the translation:
"The wisdom of the crown."
Mr. Bernhardt showed a disgusted expression:
"Back then, a lunatic from the [Pantanal Voodoo Society] mastered that arrow, and tried to mass-produce ring warlocks in the city by relying on the arrow. But you also know that there are not many talented people among normal people, even if they become talented Or, they may not be able to successfully take up the job as a ring warlock. If you look up the newspapers of the year, you will find in the corner that a small-scale epidemic broke out in Huntington in 1842 in the general calendar, and there were news of lunatics killing people. The dire consequences of an arrow."
Xia De took a deep breath. Although there are various disadvantages, [Aikenora's Arrow of Knowledge] does have quite extraordinary characteristics.
"But that's not the main feature. You already know the effect of being accidentally scratched by ordinary people. If a ring warlock is accidentally scratched, you can directly learn some... weird knowledge."
Mr. Nobel is reluctant to dwell on the subject:
"This is just a case of scratching, but if this arrow is used as an 'arrow', after the process of accumulating power, it is fired by a bow or crossbow..."
He drank the wine in his hand and his voice became even hoarse. The tulle curtains, which let in little daylight, are eerily rosy because of the color of the tulle:
"Depending on the user's knowledge reserves, the arrow can play different roles. Theoretically speaking, the more knowledgeable a person is, the stronger the arrow will be. This does not limit ordinary people or ring magicians. It's just that after ordinary people use this arrow, their own heads will explode."
Mr. Bernhardt nodded cautiously:
"I was young that year, and I didn't directly participate in that incident, but there were quite a few ring warlocks sacrificed by the Orthodox Church back then."
"More importantly..."
Father Nobel narrowed his eyes slightly:
"In 1842, we defeated and killed the voodoo members who were holding arrows, but the relic was not found. That incident has been over for more than ten years, and the church believes that it belongs to the [Pantanal voodoo society] The other members took the arrow and kept it in storage."
"Then there are other possibilities?"
Xia De asked, and the priest of the Peace Church nodded:
"Some people also believe that the arrow is still in this city, and the Ring Warlock had other followers, but we haven't discovered it. What's very interesting is that in the investigation after the event, we found that [Aikenao Ra's Arrow of Knowledge] is most likely a weapon forged by the lost order of the old gods in a very ancient era."
Xia De remained silent, just nodded slightly. At this time, the waiter came with a dining car, brought desserts for Mr. Bernhardt and Father Nobel, and prepared lunch appetizers for Shad.
"Sir, do you have any clues about this relic?"
After the waiter left, the priest holding a red wine glass asked.
"No, at least not yet. In fact, I'm not even sure if what I want to investigate is an accident caused by this sage-level relic."
Shad shook his head slightly, Father Nobel's expression remained unchanged, and Mr. Bernhardt took a deep breath.
Judging from Xia De's recent performance, the middle-aged vampire knew that he must be planning something big in this city. At this point, the sage-level relic was already involved, and it was hard for Mr. Bernhardt to imagine what would happen to Huntington next.
At noon, Xia De chatted with the vampire and the priest at the White King Club. Mr. Nobel is a very interesting person. He knows very well that Xia De's identity is definitely not a simple foreign ring magician, but he still revealed some local secrets to him. Speaking of [Pantanal Voodoo Society~www.mtlnovel.com~, I am also willing to share with Shad the recent arrests of them by the church. After all, before Princess Margaret left the country, this group of people really made big news.
When Shad left the White King Club in the afternoon, Mr. Bernhardt and the priest were still spending time in the club. Xia De was very curious about the reason why the other party trusted him, and only later realized that the priest was trusting Mr. Bernhardt.
The local vampire seed Jue and the eight-ring warlock of the Orthodox Church have been able to establish a friendship for more than ten years, and there must be many stories in it. If examined, it would certainly be as exciting as Mr. Bernhardt's encounter at Fort Midhill in the fall.
Sometimes Xia De also thinks that although what he pursues is the poetry of fate, in fact, the life of everyone he encounters is a wonderful and wonderful story. While no one would write a book about the people who passed by, those stories did happen.
If possible, he would like to witness those stories with his own eyes, and what he has to do on this increasingly cold Monday is to explore the stories of Professor Drake.
Shade now has reason to believe that [Aikenola's Arrow of Knowledge] is likely to be the cause of Professor Drake's search for the "Goddess of the Lake", which Professor Drake boasted of in his letter to Professor Manning The description of "physical condition" is roughly in line with the consequences of being injured by the [Arrow of Knowledge].
But to be on the safe side, Xia De still thinks that he needs to find more clues to confirm this conclusion. Moreover, the questions he needs to answer in his second test are not only what happened to Professor Drake, but also the price the professor paid and the wishes he made.
