Chapter 1335

In short, the miracle 【Praise the Sun】 was successfully learned this way. And Xia De used a potion to remove the scars remaining on the surface of his body.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na still had to return to her apartment to pack her luggage and inform Miss Galina that she was going on a long trip, so she said goodbye to Xia De downstairs. Although she was leaving on Sunday, she knew that Xia De was also very busy, so she didn't want him to go out of his way to see her off, but Xia De did not agree:

"After all, it's a long trip. Although you have colleagues from the Church accompanying you, if I really don't see you off, Luweiya will blame me when she finds out. Leaving on Sunday afternoon, right? Then do you have time on Sunday at noon?"

He extended the invitation:

"Just like today, let's go have lunch together again; I'll book the restaurant in advance. Oh, please don't be polite with me; this time we'll have a good meal."

After paying back the material costs to Priest Augustus, he only had a little over two thousand pounds of cash left on hand, but treating Yin Yi Yi Lu Na to a meal was still no problem:

"Then it's settled, see you Sunday at noon."

"Alright then."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's face was flushed. She stood on the steps outside the door, holding her small bag with both hands, pressing down on her skirt, with her back to the bustling St. Deran Square, and nodded her head wearing a small red lady's hat with flowers:

"See you Sunday then, Xia De."

"See you Sunday."

After seeing Yin Yi Yi Lu Na off, Xia De called Mia a few times. Seeing it lazily lying on the living room window on the second floor sunbathing and unwilling to move, he went to Old John's place alone.

With the elf's purified water and twilight dust, the special pigment formula provided by Princess Lixia could also be produced. Old John carefully looked at the formula and indicated that he could help make it, but it would take time:

"Half a week; there are some troublesome steps in this."

"I can pay extra."

"Then two days; you can come pick it up on Sunday evening."

The old man said, and listed in detail to Xia De the reasons why paying extra could make it faster, as if he were afraid Xia De would misunderstand.

Of course, besides preparing the pigments, Xia De was also concerned about the special coins. In fact, ever since he first entered the Randall Valley in mid-January, he had not seen any other special coins, except for the eye coins purchased locally in the Randall Valley that had already been used to divine the "Feast of the Earth Mother."

"Yes, a special coin was indeed found from out of town, but there is only one."

Old John said, bending down to lift a box from under the counter. After the box was opened, a copper coin that looked very thin lay on the red velvet lining. The side of the copper coin facing up had a pattern of a basket full of vegetables, fruits, and bread.

Xia De frowned slightly and touched it with his hand:

"Poet-level?"

"Detective, do you think specific types of relics are that easy to find?"

The old man said, and then introduced its specific use:

"Poet-level relic 【Copper Coin of the Emperor's Feast】. The origin of this relic is quite clear. A certain unnamed Witch Emperor around the year 3900 of the Fifth Era loved to hold feasts for enjoyment. She minted this batch of copper coins to reward those who won in feast games. And collecting one hundred of them could allow that Witch Emperor to help fulfill a wish—this was the use of these copper coins during the Fifth Era when they were still ordinary items."

"That's quite rare; that Emperor actually used copper coins instead of gold coins."

Xia De muttered, while Old John thought Xia De didn't know quality:

"That's where you don't understand. This isn't ordinary copper; this is 'Koynor Dwarf Copper,' the formula for which has been lost. The price of this copper alloy is much higher than the price of gold; it is an important raw material for making golem cores."

Old John picked up the copper coin and handed it to Xia De:

"After turning into a relic, its function became very strange. Throw the copper coin, and as long as it falls onto an empty table, it can summon a sumptuous feast. Yes, that's the only positive characteristic. As for the negative characteristic, there is a small probability that some strange things will appear at the feast. As for the containment conditions, it's also very simple: just don't let it come into long-term contact with alcohol."

After all, it is only a Poet-level relic. Such relics might even be used by ordinary people for a long time without knowing it, so both the positive and negative characteristics are not very strong.

Although the copper coin is very thin, its radius is very large, larger than any coin of the mainstream currency popular today. One side has a pattern of a basket full of various foods, and the other side has the number "1" surrounded by wheat ears.

At the bottom of the number, a sentence is written in very fine engraving:

【The right of interpretation of the feast belongs to Emperor Kelly Washington.】

"There is a saying that if you can collect 100 of these relics, something incredible will happen. But unfortunately, although that Witch Emperor liked to hold feasts, many copper coins flowed into the market. But wanting to collect 100 in our era is better than hoping to find an Angel-level relic."

Old John said, pulling a slip of paper from the bottom of the box:

"This isn't my stock; I'm selling it for someone else. This is the price; the other party does not allow bargaining."

Xia De glanced at the price:

"27 pounds, 4 shillings, 7 pence? The price is so precise?"

"The owner of the goods owes someone else a debt, and now they are just short of this money to pay it off."

The old man explained.

"But as a Poet-level relic, especially this kind of disposable Poet-level relic that isn't very useful, isn't this price a bit too high?"

According to Xia De's thinking, any price within 10 pounds for this coin would be acceptable.

Old John shrugged:

"The relic itself isn't very valuable, but the feast summoned by the relic is valuable."

"What?"

"According to previous usage records and the containment records of the Church of Peace, as long as you prepare a large enough table, it is very simple for the total value of the summoned feast to exceed 50 pounds. Looking at it this way, this asking price is actually cheap."

"Can you calculate it like that?"

Xia De was also amused, but since he encountered a special coin, he had to buy it even if the price was increased. After all, for Xia De and Luweiya, the value of the coin is far from being measured by its own characteristics.

He promised to attend the banquet held by Margaret tonight. Taking advantage of the fact that he was free in the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Old John, Xia De came to Coldwater Port after a long time.

Come to think of it, he has rarely come to Coldwater Port this year, so when he saw Mr. Edmond at the old lighthouse, the latter complained to Xia De that he felt he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"I feel that the temperature in Coldwater Port is higher than in Tobesk."

Xia De said while helping the old man carry the iron bucket full of live fish into the lighthouse. Mr. Edmond, who was following behind with a fishing rod, nodded:

"The sea surface near Coldwater Port does not freeze all year round. This is due to both the warm ocean currents and the weather in Coldwater Port. Except for the Randall Valley region in the southwest of the Old Continent and the bay region in the central-eastern part of the Old Continent, Coldwater Port is probably the city that welcomes spring earliest in the year."

"It's not warm at all in the Randall Valley this year."

Xia De complained, putting the fish by the wall, regretting not bringing Mia with him:

"And I heard that this year is the coldest year in the Old Continent in five hundred years."

Mr. Edmond glanced at Xia De. Because Xia De often inquired about folklore from various places here, he knew that Xia De possessed the ability to go to distant places:

"You've been in the Randall Valley recently? You really go wherever there is danger."

He invited Xia De to sit down first, while he went to pour tea. The interior of the lighthouse in winter was not cold at all, but unusually warm:

"Something big is going to happen in the Randall Valley recently."

"Yes, the Church and the three major academies are all sending people there, and I have to be careful not to be seen by acquaintances."

Xia De said, and then asked:

"Is the Order of Light not sending anyone this time? During the Pantanal incident, didn't Old John go to the island in the middle of the lake?"

"You really know everything."

Mr. Edmond sat down opposite Xia De, opened his glasses case, and put on his glasses:

"We have our own people in the Randall Valley; it's not the depths of a swamp inaccessible to humans."

What he said made sense, so Xia De raised his own question:

"I came here this time actually to ask if the Order of Light has any research and records on the Randall Valley region?"

"What kind of records do you want to know about?"

"The local families. I heard from locals that the lineage represented by the local Earl Granger can almost be associated with one-third of the local surnames. This kind of ancient family that can almost cover more than half of the city shouldn't be an ordinary family, right?"

"About this matter."

Mr. Edmond nodded:

"I have seen records in the Order, although they are not very clear, the source of this surname in the Fifth Era should be some kind of extremely powerful alien bloodline. Don't look at the direct descendants now as completely ordinary people, but in the collateral descendants, the power of the alien bloodline may still manifest. That 13th-Ring Mage of the Sun Church, the Earth Shaker - Pierre Granger, is said to be of the same lineage as the Grangers of the Randall Valley."

"Then does the Order have any records about the guardians of the Randall Valley?"

"I received news from the Order that those guardians seem to be related to the Chosen One."

The old man said very cautiously:

"Besides that, in the local legends, there are also deeds about the guardians. The Order doesn't know much about them, or rather, doesn't know more than the Orthodox Churches. But everyone must have a reason for doing anything, unless he is a madman. The guardians don't look like madmen, so they must have a reason for voluntarily guarding the Randall Valley."

It seems that no more information can be obtained from Mr. Edmond for the time being. So Xia De asked about the special coins again. Probably because Xia De hadn't been here for more than half a month, Mr. Edmond actually had a new special coin here too.

【Truth be told, I have been using the source-changing app to catch up on books recently. The source-switching is fast, and there are many reading tones.. huanyuanapp is available for both Android and Apple.】

There was also only one, but Xia De had obtained this coin once before.
