Chapter 1063

"When I visited the Lake Goddess with Sister Daifulin, the sister said that the danger in the Pantanal area is greater than Mid-Hill Fort."

Xia De supported Luweiya and looked at Iluna:

"Although I know that wanting to stop their plan in advance in the Voodoo Society's base camp might be too late, you also have to inform the church about this matter. At least prepare in advance to deal with the unsealing of evil things, and know what our opponents are, what weaknesses they have, and how to seal them again. Leiqianya Pulixia chose the ritual location in the Pantanal area for a reason. His ritual will very likely cause the evil things to return to the material world."

Iluna nodded again:

"You also be careful, Epic, it has started again."

Iluna's departure was quite rapid. The steam airship dispatched by the church transported her to the south silently on Wednesday night. And it was not just Princess Margaret, Old John, and Iluna who left the local area. On Wednesday, Luweiya originally wanted to go to inquire about the movements of the Truth Society, but on Thursday she told Xia De that the Truth Society also seemed to be preparing to withdraw from the local area, and that Miss Pawo no longer appeared in the identity of "Miss Weite".

The city that became lively because of Princess Margaret's visit seemed to calm down immediately with the departure of the princess. Approaching the end of the year, everyone has things to deal with, and no one will realize the disaster that will happen further south.

Now probably everyone is still on the road. Xia De went to Mid-Hill Fort to inform Grandma Kashandela and Sister Daifulin of the news, and then spent the whole Thursday dealing with his own affairs in Tobesk, so that he could concentrate on completing the Chosen One's matter later.

First, naturally, he contacted Director Anluosi, and delivered the note with the bomb information to MI6.

The handwriting on this note could not be seen as Xia De's at all, and the paper was torn from a notebook Xia De never used, so it was impossible to find him. And Director Anluosi, who completely did not know the relationship between this note and Xia De, was overjoyed:

"Very good, Xia De, you have exceeded the task. I heard that you and Princess Margaret have also made good progress in your relationship. It's a pity, if you could be transferred to work in Willendale City, just like the missing Miss Brown, then..."

He probably thought of Miss Miss Jia Lin Na and did not say his thoughts. Xia De could not be transferred to Willendale City, the capital of Carsonrick. The Duchess who was "resting in bed" would be the first to disagree.

The second thing he continued to deal with was the 【Founding · Knowledge】 finally sent to Tobesk from the headquarters of the Divination Association.

The Divination Association sent a letter to Xia De on Wednesday evening, asking him to pick up the card on Thursday. So after seeing Director Anluosi in the morning, Xia De went to the Divination Association with a slightly excited mood.

President Stan of the local branch and Xia De's friend, Vice President Mark, received Xia De on the third floor together. In addition, there was a priest from the Dawn Church. After all, on the surface, it was the Dawn Church that facilitated this transaction.

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton."

After Xia De sat down on the sofa in President Stan's office, both sides did not waste too much time on pleasantries. Vice President Mark pushed the rosewood box that had been placed on the table to Xia De.

That rosewood box was particularly exquisite, and the lid was marked with the Ouroboros symbol. The four sides were carved with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars, which was itself a work of art.

Xia De opened the box with an excited mood and officially saw 【Founding · Knowledge】.

The front of the card still only had white, black, and cold colors near the two colors. Three light spheres of different sizes were located in the center of the card face. The largest of the three light spheres was three times the size of the smallest one, arranged in a triangular structure, with white light traces connected between them.

The white of the light spheres themselves was not uniform, the inside was the "brightest" and then gradually dimmed towards the surroundings, appearing particularly three-dimensional. And the strange shape composed of the three light spheres itself seemed to conform to strange rules, as if this was a pattern that should have existed since the birth of the world.

And the background of the card face was not simple darkness, but dotted with ambiguous white light spots in the black, just like that silent black starry sky. Just looking at it, one could feel the lonely atmosphere in the card face.

Observing carefully, one could see hidden patterns in the black of the card face. It was a figure that only revealed the upper body, outlined by the white light spots on the card face. It required extremely strong spatial sense and imagination to see this pattern. And the palm composed of light spots was holding the pattern of the three light spheres. But no matter what, it was impossible to know what the specific image of the hidden figure was.

The upper right corner of the front was marked with the number 1, and the upper left corner was the small logo of "Flower". Between the two, that is, in the center of the top of the card face, a black vertical line was drawn in a white circle, which was the logo of the "Founding" series.

At the very bottom of the card face, there was a little blank space, where dense words were written:

【If this card is the first card, it will invalidate any effect of a special card that the opponent has already produced; if this card is the second card, it can be adjusted between numbers 1, 2, and 3; if this card is the third card, it can choose whether to force the opponent's total points to be reduced by 3; if this card is the fourth card, in the case of busting, it can re-draw only one card to replace the first card, but special rules cannot be used; if this card is the fifth card or later, it will win directly regardless of any situation.】

This is the card with the longest special rule text Xia De has ever seen, but the rules of the card itself are not complicated at all. This is a brand new rule system of special rules he has seen, that is, triggering effects based on the number of cards drawn when drawing cards.

Although the first four effects cannot compare to the effects of other cards in the Founding series, and the fifth effect is difficult to achieve. But this card can trigger effects in almost any situation, and the influence of the effects is quite complete.

From this perspective, 【Founding · Knowledge】 has a quite strong role in the Rod card game, just like other cards in the 【Founding】 series.

"This card is very interesting. The more cards drawn, the greater the role of this card when it appears—knowledge accumulation can create wisdom and power."

Xia De gave an evaluation of the rules. He looked at the card in his hand with a smile:

"Flower 1, Founding · Knowledge. Yes, I am very satisfied."

President Stan also nodded with a smile:

"Yes, and you need to carefully control the position where 'Knowledge' appears. You cannot be greedy. This requires your wisdom... The appraisal certificate is at the bottom of the box, Mr. Hamilton. According to the contract signed before, this card belongs to you until you pass away, but you cannot give it away, trade it, or take it out to gamble with others."

He reminded again, not at ease. This card had been kept at the headquarters of the Divination Association since the Rod card game was created. If it weren't for the joint letter from the Five Gods Church requesting assistance this time, Xia De would not have been able to get it no matter what.

Xia De nodded:

"Of course, I understand... Speaking of which, that blue crystal, are you not sending someone to take it away now?"

He asked knowingly. President Stan looked sideways at the old priest of the Five Rings, who coughed, so President Stan gave an answer:

"Yes, take it away now. Do you have it with you?"

"Yes, it's right here. I knew that once I got the card, you would ask for this gem."

Xia De took out the jewelry box from his coat pocket. Inside lay one of the two 【Wisdom Glowstones】 in his hand.

"Then please take it away."

"It's not us taking it away. Please copy this, and then sign your name. It counts as a delivery record."

President Stan handed Xia De a letter paper. The content above was roughly that Xia De Suren Hamilton voluntarily donated the 【Wisdom Glowstone】 to Iluna Emilya Beiya.

Any glowstone can only be donated once. It seems that even if the church does not know who the Chosen One is now, it has already made its own plans. And letting Xia De hand it over to the Chosen One is because they are worried that the glowstone will be snatched by others.

"So this kind of stone has this name, it's really interesting... Speaking of which, Miss Beiya is my good friend. What is her relationship with the Divination Association?"

President Stan, the best fortune teller in Tobesk, said with an unchanging expression:

"The Divination Association commissioned the Black Stone Security Company to escort this crystal to the headquarters in the Principality of Lagson. You should know that Miss Beiya is going on a long trip recently."

"Yes, so she is going to such a far place. I hope she can come back before the Year-End Festival."

Today is Thursday, the 19th day of the Month of Slumber. There is only one and a half weeks left until the official end of the General Calendar year 1853. The Outsider is about to spend his first year in this world.

Getting 【Founding · Knowledge】 made Xia De feel very good. Corresponding to his mood, on Thursday night, the sunny weather he had waited for a full week finally appeared.

Xia De planned to use the resonance ritual of the core spirit rune to find the "yellow moon" that the "bard" encountered when defeating the demon of proliferating desire wanted to find. Of course, this is a quite dangerous behavior, because no one knows what dangerous things he will resonate with. So, Xia De specially found Luweiya to assist him in holding the ritual at home.

The ritual location was the attic at home, beside the long table where the "Sun Fire" and "Moon Water" rituals were arranged.

When the three-colored moonlight in the sunny night sky sprinkled on the ritual base array on the wooden floor, Xia De, who had drunk the potion "Inspiration Potion" and a small amount of "Moon Water" in advance, sat on the floor with his upper body bare.

------------------Author's Note------------------

PS: The two crystals in Xia De's hand come from catching the thief Jack and defeating the demon respectively. One crystal in Iluna's hand comes from the dice game. In addition, there is the bard's test that has not been completed, which is also one.

Here I can spoil that during the final battle of this volume, Xia De will also have five crystals (including the one donated to Iluna in this chapter), so how will the missing crystals come?
