Chapter 1339
Xia De stood up, but did not walk toward Mr. Lasers, but walked toward the restored pulpit. He came under the holy emblem, supported the table on both sides with both hands, and looked at the soul under the moonlight like a trial:
"Stone Osenfort is the second candidate, and your daughter, Miss Hilis Lasers, is the third candidate."
He paused, and then asked:
"I have already informed you of the rules for the Chosen One and the candidates. So may I ask, is there a situation where your daughter must be killed, and must die before Stone Osenfort, to prevent that guy who signed a contract with the demon from becoming the Chosen One?"
"Yes, such a situation exists, and this is also related to its plan."
Mr. Lasers said, and Xia De narrowed his eyes:
"So that's it, so that's it, I understand, so you are actually..."
He didn't say it, but stared at the soul. The questions when he saw the Guardians several times could all be answered:
"You are even more amazing than I thought."
"Judging from your deeds, the truly amazing one is actually you."
Mr. Lasers said calmly, looking at Xia De under the holy emblem:
"Ordinary souls cannot guard this land; we just did what we should do. Compared to the Chosen One you described, you are the one who is like..."
"No, I am not."
Xia De took out the crimson gem and the key from his pocket:
"You recognize them, right?"
Mr. Lasers nodded slightly:
"Originally thought that Hilis would eventually find that place... That's fine. Four gems can open that cemetery, and that key can open the door deep in the cemetery. That door... leads to the center of the earth in Randall Valley, the legendary Heart of the Earth is there."
【Recommendation: The source-switching app is really easy to use; download it here at. huanyuanapp, everyone can try it quickly.】
Xia De didn't show a smile; he had already guessed it:
"What conditions are needed to enter that door?"
"Enough 'weight', enough understanding of the earth."
Therefore, Xia De still needs to continue to strengthen his "Healing Aura", but he doesn't have to wait until the source of black mud appears to try. As long as he gets the remaining three gems, he can try at any time.
"Before you defeat the demon, do not enter that door, otherwise it will cause disaster."
Mr. Lasers warned again.
"I understand, if I didn't guess wrong, you should usually be next to the Heart of the Earth, right?"
Xia De asked, Mr. Lasers did not answer:
"The Guardians appeared in the early part of this era. It is meaningless to explore the appearance of the first Guardian. We are all willing to guard this land; we are the same. And that cemetery was built in the Fifth Era. People at that time discovered that door, so they built the cemetery as the second guard in front of the door. If possible, please do not destroy that cemetery; the owner of the tomb is also a person worthy of respect. The first Guardian is also the ancestor of the Granger family; it was because he knew the deeds of the owner of the tomb that he entered the depths of the earth."
"Mr. Fred Lehman, the owner of the tomb, is my friend, just like Sister St. Perry in the Fifth Era."
Mr. Lasers closed his eyes:
"I understand."
Xia De narrowed his eyes and looked at him, Mr. Lasers bowed his head slightly and prayed again. Xia De actually had many questions he wanted to ask, but when he wanted to speak, he found that he had already guessed the answers to most of those questions:
"Where should I go on Tuesday to prepare? Can I notify the Orthodox Church?"
So under the moonlight, transparent light marks gathered into a map, and the map indicated the location, which was quite close to the old cemetery of the Granger family:
"The church can be allowed to participate; they can reduce our burden. If the pollution source this time is not handled well, the earthquake and petrification plague will accelerate."
"Okay, you should also be careful. On Tuesday, perhaps that demon... I haven't known the full content of the Chosen One ritual, but you can prepare first. Spring leaves, flowers, fruits, autumn flowers, stones, souls."
"Okay."
So the two fell into silence again. Xia De didn't know if the other party was as full of thoughts as he was. He only knew that perhaps on Tuesday, he would be able to fully confirm the truth about those Guardians.
Suddenly, both of them heard the sound coming from the church courtyard, boots stepping on the snow in the courtyard, and gradually approaching the steps of the church.
"Then see you on Tuesday."
Mr. Lasers said, but Xia De stopped him:
"Don't you really want to see her? Even if she blames you for throwing all the responsibilities on her, you should see her. At least, praise her for doing well over the years."
Mr. Lasers didn't speak.
"Or, to thank me for also purifying this land, meet her."
Mr. Lasers nodded slowly:
"Okay."
So, the young blonde girl who came to the Church of the Forgotten on this night, after opening the door of the church, saw the familiar face standing under that beam of light, and saw Xia De leaning forward and looking at her under the holy emblem in the distance.
Hilis Grand Lasers was stunned there for a moment, and didn't care that the small bag in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
A moment later, she hurried into the church, because her steps were too hurried, she accidentally fell under that beam of moonlight.
She didn't get up, but sat there, covering her face and sobbing softly. Mr. Lasers looked down at her expressionlessly, and only spoke after waiting for a moment:
"Over the years, you have done very well."
The sound of crying suddenly became louder, the soul turned to nod to Xia De in the high place, and then slowly sank into the ground.
In the empty church, only the man behind the pulpit and the crying girl remained. It was very cold here, and it was also very quiet here. The edge of the moonlight illuminated the hem of Miss Lasers's skirt, but could not illuminate the sad soul in the body wrapped in the skirt.
(Little Mia is running...)
"So, this is why you hugged Miss Lasers last night and stayed in the Church of the Forgotten until one o'clock in the morning before going home, and then were almost scratched by the cat at home?"
Saturday morning, on the first floor of the Abundant Earth Hotel, Luweiya held a soup spoon and said with a smile to Xia De who was holding Mia opposite.
"Miss Lasers was really crying very hard at that time."
Xia De explained, and took a bite of bread dipped in butter:
"For the first half hour, she sobbed while hugging me, and then began to tell about the hardships over the years. Starting from eleven o'clock, she began to curse her father for being irresponsible and throwing the sect to her... Actually, it wasn't cursing, just some slang in the words..."
Xia De said, and after being scratched by Little Mia, he tore off some bread to feed it. Dorothy didn't go to Xia De's house last night, so the cat was left at home alone and didn't see Xia De until one o'clock. When Xia De walked out of the hidden wall, he happened to see Mia lying on the steps of the basement with a stinky face looking at him:
"Fortunately, Miss Bernice noticed that Miss Lasers hadn't returned so late. She knew that Miss Lasers went to the church to get things, so she went directly to the church to find Miss Lasers, and that's how she 'saved' me. Otherwise, Miss Lasers might have stayed in the church all night. At that time, my shoulders were all soaked with tears."
"Was Miss Lasers just crying while being hugged by you?"
Luweiya asked suspiciously.
Xia De was a little embarrassed:
"Okay, actually she was lying in my arms... and I don't know why, I was comforting her, and she suddenly kissed me. You don't know, Miss Bernice entered the church and saw us kissing in the dark, her face was very bad. She was probably very angry with me..."
"It shouldn't be angry with you."
The purple-eyed girl muttered.
Xia De said with emotion:
"In my opinion, Mr. Lasers is really irresponsible. When he disappeared, Miss Lasers was still an underage girl. If she hadn't met Miss Bernice later, she would probably be even harder than now."
"Mr. Lasers doing this must have his reasons. I think it should be because he encountered more important things."
Luweiya said while holding her face:
"And according to your description, his attitude toward Miss Lasers last night was obviously abnormal. What kind of father treats his daughter like that?"
"On Tuesday, there might be an answer. I'll go to Miss Bernice's place in a while. It's better to let her notify the church so that the church knows where the big trouble will happen on Tuesday."
Xia De said, and Luweiya exhorted again:
"You have to go there too, so let the witch warn the church not to get too close."
"I understand."
Xia De ate the last piece of bread and looked around again:
"What does the Society say about the earthquake last night?"
"The essence of the earth is rotting."
Luweiya said a very terrible sentence in a relaxed tone:
"The Society had already judged this point before, but last night's earthquake became the final proof. The Society headquarters has sent two Twelve-Ring diviners to assist the Sun and Earth Church in surveying. Currently, it is believed that the frequent appearance of the 'Mad Earth' phenomenon is the first stage, and the appearance of the petrification plague and small-scale earthquakes is the second stage. Next, there should be an unpredictable third stage and fourth stage, with each stage using a large-scale earthquake as a node. In the fifth stage, the Mad Earth spreads to the entire material world, the material world moves toward turmoil, and years of plague, crop failure, and unpredictable earthquakes will destroy the foundation of our civilization. Although this will not directly destroy the world, it can already be considered a low-intensity doomsday."
Xia De sighed:
"The previous few times were just regional events, but this time it has directly escalated into a global one... I understand. There is a meeting this afternoon, so I won't stay in Randall Valley for long. On Sunday, I will visit the captain mentioned by Stone Osenfort, on Monday I will go to the old cemetery of the Granger family, and on Tuesday I will solve the things mentioned by the Guardians."
He put down the fork in his hand and looked around again:
"When Yin Luna comes next week, the pressure should be a little less. However, it won't last too long. The Star-Sparse Moon has reached the second half, and early spring is already very close."
"Spring..."
The purple-eyed girl tilted her head and looked at her lover across the table:
"It feels like many years have passed since the spring of 1853. This winter is really long. When I return to Tobesk, I can take off my cotton clothes. Can I raise a few pots of flowers at No. 6 St. Deran Square? Except for you and your cat, there are not even spiders and mice in that house, it's too dull. Oh, you don't have to take care of the flowers, I will go to water them."
She looked at Xia De with a smile, and Xia De felt that she had other meanings:
"I will go to water them often."
