Chapter 1298: Clues to the Poem

~10 min read 1,899 words

Yiluna looked very happy. After all, among the three, only she hadn't been able to make a contribution in this first major event of 1854:

"Except for the 'The Chosen One possesses the power of the earth' that our Sun Church already mastered, after removing the scattered content that did not constitute valid information, I obtained three other pieces of content that can be confirmed—the Chosen One is not entirely human, this probably refers to possessing a hybrid bloodline."

Unfortunately, according to the doctor's statement, Shi Shi Misi, who had become a demon, definitely couldn't be considered entirely human; and Miss La Sesi's family also had a long history locally. Due to the unknown number of "Butterfly Girls" taken away by Mr. Laiman in the Fifth Era, which "polluted" the bloodline of the entire Randel Valley in the Sixth Era, Xia De believed that Miss La Sesi also highly likely had a low-level hybrid bloodline.

"The Chosen One was born in spring, in the broad sense of spring."

Yiluna said again.

According to Xia De's investigation, Shi Shi Misi and Miss La Sesi still met the conditions. The former was the second candidate Xia De guessed, and the latter was the "third candidate" certified by both the long-haired Luweiya and the short-haired Luweiya. Of course, neither of them seemed to have mastered any power of the earth at present.

"Finally, the most indicative point. The Earth's Chosen One contains soil in their body, and... he or she possesses a heart of stone."

Yiluna said.

In this way, Shi Shi Misi and Miss La Sesi didn't seem to meet the conditions, and even the guardian Mr. Fleming didn't meet them, because he was a pure spirit.

"If we don't consider the last condition, actually Little Mia also meets the conditions."

The news provided by Yiluna was quite useful, and Xia De was in a good mood, even joking:

"This cat is not a simple human, it was born in the spring of 1853—this was one of the cat's information recorded by Detective Sparrow when recording the commission."

But what Yiluna thought of was other things:

"In the past, when we looked for the Chosen One, their characteristics were always consistent with you, Xia De. Will there be an exception this time?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"I am a pure human. The relic at Grandma Cassandra's in Mid-Hill Castle identified my bloodline. I don't know my birth date, the academy didn't investigate it, and I personally think it's summer... However, Joe Barton did divine that I died at the high tower early last spring. As for having soil in my body and a heart of stone..."

He said to Yiluna very confidently:

"Look at me, do I look like I'm made of stone?"

The seventeen-year-old girl's gaze lingered on Xia De's neck and chest, and then she really reached out and pressed on Xia De's chest, feeling a very strong heartbeat.

She shook her head slightly:

"In short, be careful. What you did at Eldron Lake has already reached the Tobesk diocese. I think I will receive the business trip notice soon. Be careful..."

Yiluna left after saying these messages, but she happened to meet Father Augustus, who was trying to take a large box off the carriage, at the door of Xia De's house.

Although Yiluna and Father Augustus belonged to different churches, Yiluna naturally knew this old priest who was very famous in this diocese, and even knew that he and Xia De belonged to the same group.

So, Yiluna enthusiastically helped the priest move the box into Xia De's house, and then waved goodbye to Xia De.

"What a passionate girl."

Father Augustus didn't ask what the relationship between Xia De and Yiluna was. He signaled Xia De to move the box to the basement in the foyer. After opening the box, he revealed the alchemical tools and potions densely placed inside:

"The things you listed on the list, I have all made. Besides that, there are two bottles of this, you store them separately, remember not to let the storage temperature be too high."

The priest said, taking out two glass bottles filled with golden potion from the box. The color of the potion made people feel very happy:

"This is a potion I only recently learned to make. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be exposed, I could go to apply for the academy's advanced pharmacist assessment with these potions."

The old priest said quite proudly.

Xia De took the bottle, feeling the warm miracle elements:

"This is..."

He still remembered that when he confronted the human pus that possessed Darknis, Father Augustus gave him a bottle of "Weak Angel Potion."

"Is this a medium-effect or strong-effect Angel Potion?"

"No, no, it's not an Angel Potion. According to your description, the ancient demon and human pus you are facing this time are different, so you have to change your strategy. This is Golden Potion."

Father Augustus introduced:

"This kind of potion is not specifically aimed at demons, but specifically aimed at any evil power. You said, don't prepare too targeted potions, otherwise the other party will find out that you already know its true identity."

Xia De pulled out the stopper of one of the bottles and sniffed it, but there was no smell:

"Do I need to take this, or throw it at the other party?"

"You take it. It is recommended to do more exercise after taking it to enhance blood circulation and let the medicine take effect faster. After drinking the potion, it takes effect in about five seconds, the efficacy reaches the extreme in about one and a half minutes, and then the effect gradually declines until the efficacy completely disappears in about three minutes. Depending on the individual, there may be an error within ten seconds, you grasp it yourself."

The old priest tapped the bottle, making it emit a crisp sound. Little Mia squatted on the basement stairs watching the two talk. It was not very interested in this kind of potion because it had no taste.

"After drinking it, any of your energy-releasing techniques and curses will have an additional strong 'evil-breaking' effect."

The range of "energy-re

The range of "energy release" type curios and spells is quite broad. For example, Xia De's "Silver Moon Slash," "Moonlight Wheel," "Moonlight Greatsword," "Sunlight Ray," and even "Psychic Blast" and "Healing Aura" all count, while special contract-type abilities, summoning-type abilities, and curse-type abilities do not.

"How strong is the effect specifically?"

Priest Augustus thought for a moment:

"This is really hard to say, after all, I don't know how strong your opponent is, or what kind of power you yourself can exert. But I can guarantee that as long as you drink this, even if you can't completely defeat the opponent, at least while the medicine is in effect, that demon will definitely not be able to defeat you."

Xia De was relieved by this:

"Then will this dose of magic potion be recognized as related to that original angel? This wouldn't be a First Era formula, would it?"

"No, no, you can rest assured about this. This is a magic potion formula researched during the Fourth Era of darkness and chaos. At that time, angels descended into the material world much more frequently than now. However, don't use these magic potions unless absolutely necessary; it's not because there are any side effects, but because the materials for configuring the magic potion are hard to buy. At least until spring arrives, I cannot provide you with more."

The priest sighed slightly:

"In short, just be careful yourself. Carry your cross-shaped relic, keep these alchemy tools well, and there are some amulets to protect against evil at the bottom of the box, which you can give to Annette, as well as your friends in Randall Valley. Oh, if you need anything, come find me anytime. You've helped me so much; me helping you make these is actually just a small matter."

He walked away with his hands behind his back, looking very sentimental.

Not long after the priest left, Xia De also went out with little Mia, who looked unwilling to move, and headed to Quill Street in the University District. Come to think of it, although Xia De had already done quite a lot of things this morning, in reality, it had only been half an hour since Dorothy left his house after breakfast.

Dorothy was going to see Miss Galina today, but she hadn't returned to her apartment all night, so she definitely had to go back to change clothes first, so Xia De successfully found her.

"Paint that can be used to draw in the night? Your key needs this this time?"

Sunlight passed through the window, shining on the side of the female writer's face as she sat by the desk, while Xia De sat on Dorothy's bed, recounting his needs:

"I remember you have deep research into pen-type relics, so maybe you have also researched ink. Isn't paint for drawing very similar to ink?"

Only

The pen-type relics in Dorothy's hands that Xia De knew about included the 【Pen of Joyful Dreams】 from when he first met Professor Manning, and the 【Pen of Iteraine】 he gave Dorothy at the end of last year.

"Is there any connection between ink and paint?"

The blonde girl asked suspiciously, but then smiled and said:

"But you're lucky; I do know of a type of paint that can be used to draw in the night. It's a special material made from a unique alchemy formula from the Zalas Academy of Literature, where Luvia studied, and it was only invented about 500 years ago."

"Does Luvia know the specific formula? Or does the Zalas Academy of Literature keep this formula strictly confidential?"

"Luvia knows the formula. When she previously took the elective course 'Fairy Tales and Art: A Brief Analysis of Ancient Fairy Tales of the Fifth Era,' the professor teaching the course used this and shared the formula with the students—I know this course is very simple for her, after all, her major is Fairy Tales and Enlightenment Elements. Taking this course was actually to obtain enough elective credits; the elective course system at the Zalas Academy of Literature is a bit different from ours."

Dorothy explained, casually taking a notebook from the desk and starting to write down the formula:

"I can give you the formula. For the production of this alchemy paint, you can ask Old John or Doctor Schneider to help you. The problem still lies in the materials involved in the formula; the others are very easy to buy, and Luvia has them in her own warehouse. I'll have her give them to you; you don't have to be polite with us. Only these two materials, you need to find them yourself."

After hurriedly writing down the formula and production process, Dorothy tore the page from the notebook and handed it to Xia De.

"Twilight Dust, and Elf's Purified Water?"

Recalling slightly, 【Witch Echo · Luvia】 contained information about the latter. "Elf's Purified Water" had 'elf' in its name, and indeed it could only be made by elves. This liquid material, after initial production, needed to be stored for decades before it could be used, belonging to the unique craftsmanship of the elves.
