Chapter 1241: Miracle - [Demon Sight]

"What kind of demon is it? Is it powerful? Does it have any background story? Can we deal with it?"

Originally, it was just a guess that Stonewall Osenfurt was related to demons, but now it could be confirmed that Xia De's inspiration was as outstanding as ever.

"Detective, this potion is only used to detect demonic power; it doesn't have such complex discrimination functions. Moreover, the badge wasn't necessarily placed by a demon; it's also possible that some powerful demon just passed by nearby."

The doctor waved his hand, his face serious as he picked up the Third-Class Combat Hero Badge to examine it:

"Tell me in detail about your recent encounters, and if possible, describe all the details."

Xia De then described in detail his relationship with Stonewall Osenfurt, from discovering the ring at the bottom of the river, playing cards at Count Granger's banquet, visiting Osenfurt Manor alone and seeing the strange maid and the veiled Hai Shu Osenfurt, to the handshake in front of the burning warehouse, promising three items and the clue to 【Founding·Earth】. He almost said all the details he knew, even including Old John's evaluation of the "bonus" won in the horse race, which was an item from the Stonewall Kingdom, and Tifa's evaluation of the outdated maid dress.

The wrinkles on the doctor's forehead increased again:

"The judgment you made was very correct, and not letting Anate help you with divination was also correct. This is a very typical demonic act. Hai Shu Osenfurt said that her husband almost never lost? I probably understand. Osenfurt himself shouldn't be a Third Era evil spirit demon, but he most likely signed a contract with a demon."

One of the common senses of ring-sorcerers is to never sign any form of contract with a demon, otherwise even the decorative border of the contract paper might steal a mortal's soul. "Cherish your soul, stay away from demons" is a quote from Miss Feliana.

"What kind of demon could it be?"

Xia De asked again, and the doctor still shook his head:

"With only these clues, I can't guess who the target is. Moreover, judging from your description, the demon's plan and conspiracy against the Osenfurt family most likely started from the family's decline a hundred years ago, otherwise, the strangeness of that manor cannot be explained... This opponent is quite powerful."

Xia De added:

"Not only powerful, but also quite cautious. I have contacted Osenfurt so many times and haven't been able to detect his abnormality, let alone where the demon's true body is."

The two were silent for a moment, and Xia De asked again:

"Doctor, do you have any confidence in dealing with this kind of enemy?"

"Only by determining the identity of the other party can I rely on knowledge to make targeted judgments."

The doctor pointed to his head: "Besides, the advantage now is that the demon is cautious, and you are also cautious. The demon hiding in Randall Valley doesn't know you've discovered him, and even less likely to know of my existence. Speaking of which, Randall Valley is so far from here, I really don't have a good way to get there directly."

"It doesn't matter, I still have a Keeper-level relic 【Magician's Escape Box】."

This relic was originally found by Cassandra, allowing Helen and Grace to appear in St. Deran Square. The usage requirement for the box is preferably a high-tier ring-sorcerer, and it shouldn't be used more than once every half a year. Although the doctor is currently only a six-ring, considering his powerful body and soul, using this relic is no problem. However, after using it, the doctor would still need to take a carriage back from Randall Valley himself.

He described the characteristics of this relic in detail, and the doctor also agreed that this relic could be used:

"But I can't go there right now. The demon you encountered this time hasn't been sealed and is very likely in its prime state. Once I appear in Randall Valley, the possibility of being directly discovered by the other party is very high. So, we must determine the identity of the other party, formulate the best action plan, and then take action, ensuring a one-hit kill."

"So, I still need to collect more information. Yes, we must be very careful when dealing with this kind of enemy. Even if we can beat them, once the other party is alerted in advance and leaves Randall Valley, it will be very troublesome to track them."

Xia De nodded. As for the demon having nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't care, that was impossible. He must verify the truth of the news about 【Founding·Earth】, and the doctor also needs new demons to increase his power.

For Xia De, who knows the end of the world is coming, every bit of power is very much needed.

The doctor was still thinking about the next action:

"I have a hunch. Since you, who possess the Fourth Era demon-hunting equipment, appeared in Randall Valley and got involved in this matter, the demon's terrifying conspiracy will probably begin very soon. So, within half a month to a month, we must determine who that demon is, and during this period, we must ensure we don't expose ourselves. This is actually not difficult. I bet that Stonewall Osenfurt is also dissatisfied with the demon he signed the contract with. You said he sought help from the auction house, and the three items he agreed with you to find look very much like some kind of strange ritual..."

"Speaking of which, Stonewall Osenfurt has a good relationship with William Anjou, and his subordinates also helped the prince discover overseas silver mines."

When talking about this topic, the doctor laughed and waved his hand:

"Common trick of demons. I can guarantee that there is a 50% chance there is nothing, and a 50% chance it is demonic silver forged by demonic power."

So-called "demonic silver" is a type of "demonic metal", which is a precious metal forged through bloody means by sacrificing innocent souls. Using this metal will immediately be contaminated with sin, to the point where the soul falls into a demon. This is a method only extremely high-level demons can use, and "demonic metal" is a strictly prohibited trade item in the Sixth Era of today, belonging to the highest level of contraband.

"It seems that the unknown demon has already tried to reach out to the human royal family."

The doctor concluded, looking even more worried:

"Don't look at the demons in stories, as long as they plan a conspiracy, they can sweep the whole world. But in reality, in the Sixth Era of today, demons capable of infiltrating national units are already very rare. After all, most demons were either sealed or still sleeping after the end of the Third Era. Xia De, our action must be fast. Even if I can't devour the other party in the end, I must stop the other party's conspiracy."

In this way, Xia De's tasks in Randall Valley have increased by one, and unfortunately, any of the tasks in his hands, if not handled well, could lead to a great disaster.

"Doctor, what should I do? Although I hold 【Night Watcher】 and 【Demon Hunting Seal】, you look like the real demon hunter."

The doctor coughed embarrassedly:

"Don't call me that. Oh, you must be careful, absolutely do not hold these two items in front of Osenfurt, at least not before the final battle. You must complete two things: one, know the demon's hiding place or know how to make him appear; two, confirm the demon's identity so that we can easily prepare and plan."

He threw the Combat Hero Badge to Xia De:

"So, I still need you to contact Osenfurt again, preferably returning to that strange manor. You are not returning the badge, just use this opportunity. You can appropriately expose your power in front of Osenfurt. I think the possibility that the other party has guessed you are a ring-sorcerer is very high, after all, you beat him. Demons and mortals have different views on ring-sorcerers. Whether you possess supernatural power, in their view, only represents whether the hunt will become troublesome."

"Then do you have any useful detectors that allow me to collect information in one trip?"

Xia De asked with great expectation and held up the cat:

"The volume is best not to exceed this big, I can hide it in my hat."

"Meow~"

The cat meowed.

"If there really were such useful alchemical items, the problem of evil spirit demons wouldn't have lasted from the Third Era until now."

The doctor stretched out his finger to Xia De:

"It's best not to do anything extra. Without determining the other party's identity and power, any extra action could lead to our intentions being exposed. Xia De, don't underestimate these ancient ones left over from the Third Era; they are quite dangerous."

Subsequently, the doctor changed his tone again:

"Of course, I can't really let you go directly. That would only waste our time. How about this, I will teach you a special power that only demon hunters of the Third Era possessed, which was transformed into a miracle that can be learned by witches of the Fifth Era. This is also what I obtained from demonic knowledge, unfortunately, I cannot learn it myself. But I want to warn you, you have demon hunter weapons and seals, if you learn demon hunter power again, this will cause your connection with demons to become deeper and deeper, and the possibility of encountering demons will become greater."

He looked at Xia De seriously, not expecting Xia De to ask back:

"Is my connection with demons not deep now, and is the possibility of encountering demons not high? Besides, the other thing I am doing in Randall Valley is far more terrifying than ancient demons. Wanting to solve that demon is also to prevent it from interfering with what I am doing."

"It's hard to imagine what you are doing, remember to pay attention to safety."

The doctor muttered, then asked:

"【Hunter】, 【Hunt】, 【Eye】, 【Temple】, 【Guard】, 【Peep】, 【Wisdom】, 【Revenge】, which of these eight spiritual runes do you have? Any one of the four elements is fine."

"None, but I have the enlightenment spiritual rune 【Water of Wisdom】, yes, that is the ancient fairy tale."

This spiritual rune corresponds to Xia De's fourth fairy tale maze.

"It should work."

The doctor said, picked up the notebook on the table, wrote the information of the miracle on it, and handed it to Xia De:

"It's this, Miracle - 【Demon Sight】. This is a miracle about the eyes. When you actively activate the miracle, if you encounter demonic power, some runes and illusions related to it will appear in your field of vision. So you need to get as close to the other party's power as possible and keep the miracle activated to obtain more clues."
