Chapter 1465: Harvest
After the familiar prompt, the surroundings were still thick white fog, and dense tombstones stood in the fog. There were square tombstones inserted obliquely into the ground, cross tombstones standing upright, and wooden board tombstones that were almost rotting.
These tombstones were of different sizes and shapes, and the only common point was that there was no text on them.
"Really interesting."
Xia De squatted down and touched the rough square tombstone in front of him with his hand. "She" felt the information and informed Xia De of the result.
Xia De said to Luvia:
"Engraving the names of the dead on these blank tombstones can summon their souls. It doesn't matter what the cause of death is, even if the soul is shattered, but shattered souls can only find residue. Here, it connects to the calm waters behind the Gate of Death, and can summon spirits regardless of any conditions."
"Do you only need to engrave the name?"
Luvia asked curiously.
"Besides the name, recognized title, nickname, alias, you also need the year of birth and death as well as a relatively specific cause of death. Oh, and there must have been contact. A simple contact is fine, even just a glance counts. But it cannot be a character seen in the newspaper..."
Xia De paused for a moment:
"And it cannot summon souls outside the Sixth Era."
"What can you do after summoning spirits?"
"You can do anything. Shatter the soul, ask questions, or even bring it back to the real world, but bringing it back to the real world requires a price. This is very fair. This is the cemetery of souls, the place where souls rest in peace. The living who come here are the temporary masters of the souls. Compared to the Corridor of Time and the Labyrinth of Space, the role of this place is not small. If Joy Barton could enter here, he wouldn't have been defeated by me in the end..."
Xia De's fingers touched the tombstone, frowning slightly, as if thinking of something important (Note):
"Besides that, you can bring shattered souls here, and the cemetery will repair those souls. If you bring materialized undead into here, you can make them produce some... wonderful changes."
Luvia looked around, very interested in this place:
"Ring sorcerers who manipulate the undead would probably be excited to madness about this place, but unfortunately I only specialize in divination."
Xia De asked softly in his heart:
"What is the extra information?"
Although Xia De possessed the thaumaturgy "Gate of Death", the extra functions were still very useful, or rather, especially useful. Even though Xia De didn't know what this could be used for at the moment.
"However, what is the Heart of the Living Dead?"
Searching for information in the two witch remnants in his head, and then seeking help from the racial knowledge of elves and blood species, but there was no answer.
Asking Luvia softly, the female diviner thought for a while:
"I seem to have heard it in the elective course "Time and Fate: Impermanent Death" at the academy. I will go back and flip through the book and tell you."
But whether he knew what this was didn't matter at all. Xia De never wanted to set foot on that shoal and water again in his life. He was completely fed up with this death journey to Midhillburg in the autumn.... Taking the cat, he had a leisurely lunch with the purple-eyed girl. Luvia originally wanted to stay at 6 St. Deran Square tonight to seriously check Xia De's physical condition after the Great War in Midhillburg and test his physical fitness. But Tifa said this morning that Xia De had to stay overnight at Miss Galina's manor tonight to inform the witches about Wednesday's events and wait for new news from Midhillburg, so Xia De could only regretfully refuse Luvia.
Seeing his regretful look, Luvia kissed his side face in the carriage:
"There will be plenty of time in the future, my knight. Saturday is the time for Dorothy to teach you, how about Sunday night?"
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Diviner Association, and she said goodbye to Xia De with a smile.
"Wait a moment, a gift for you."
But Xia De called the purple-eyed girl again:
"Soul Tear."
He handed the spoils obtained at the House of the Blind to Luvia:
"Your special divination puts a heavy burden on your soul. Wait for Father August to return, and please ask him to make this into a potion that can repair the soul."
Luvia looked at Xia De with some surprise, but did not refuse.
"Also, you guessed how to open the door at once on Wednesday night. It was really amazing. Tifa told me that you seemed to have prepared everything in advance."
Xia De praised again.
"I am an excellent diviner."
Luvia pointed to herself and kissed Xia De's cheek before getting off the carriage.
Xia De waved to her with a smile in the carriage window and watched her enter the Diviner Association.
"Her other self is severely damaged, and it was you who told me the news."
Xia De responded softly in his heart, thinking of the illusion of kissing two people at the same time when he kissed Luvia:
"Everyone has their own secrets, but Luvia, you are really worrying."
Miss Galina's carriage probably came to pick up Xia De after three o'clock in the afternoon. Before that, Xia De returned home and took stock of the harvest of this adventure.
Promoting from the third ring to the fourth ring was the biggest harvest. Although this meant that the state of divine radiance was gradually receding, it was fine as long as he found the next drop of divinity.
Besides that, the task of the key of the Fifth Era 3024 was completely completed, obtaining more uses for the Moonlight Greatsword, temporarily losing it, and exchanging it for something else. And before saying goodbye to the gray-robed sage, the story of the god provided thaumaturgy. Absorbing the divinity of the God of Blood obtained the blasphemy - temporarily sealed, but exchanged for extremely useful thaumaturgy and...
"Of course, the most important thing is this."
Xia De carefully restored Miss Olanod's black cloak from a toy to a real object. Even though it was brought back to the modern era through the toy state, this cloak, which was originally brand new, had now become an old object.
This is a new souvenir, just like the "Felianna Notes" in the Thousand Tree Forest, the "Future Person Card" in the Horror Castle, and the "Black and White Hair Ribbon" in the Night Manor. It is a souvenir after the end of a journey. Xia De pushed the extra hanger at home into the basement, carefully hung the cloak on the hanger, and collected it in the hidden space of the basement.... The hair ribbons of Grace and Helen were on the hanger, the Felianna notes and cards were placed under the hanger, and beside them was... In the future, there will probably be more collectibles here, allowing Xia De to miss the journey of those past times in his spare time:
"We will meet again."
This cloak is Miss Olanod's personal item. The dense needlework embroidered with imperceptible elven runes on it gives the cloak itself the characteristics of maintaining body temperature and not being easily soiled. Although its value is not as good as Felianna's notes, it is equally important to Xia De.
When Xia De thanked her softly, "she" teased with a smile.
"How could I do such a thing?"
For the sake of his reputation, Xia De immediately retorted, but thought about it and asked:
"However, traveling through thousands of years of time, the cloak itself has experienced the washing of time, will there still be a smell on it?"
"She" just chuckled and didn't answer.
Of course, besides the cloak with great commemorative value, this adventure also had other important harvests. Needless to say, although the Keeper-level relic can only cause damage to enemies with "dragon" and "huge" attributes, this relic is really useful in suitable application scenarios.
Burying it in salt can contain it, so Xia De put it in the bowl containing salt and also put it into the basement.
That silly cat was very interested in white things, dipped it with its paw, and then before Xia De noticed, stuck out its tongue to lick its paw... Cats can't eat too much salt, Xia De was very worried about Little Mia's health, so he grabbed this cat and forced it to drink several drops of treated clean water.
Of course, it can also be considered a relic, and it is a very powerful relic. This is a key item prepared for Lei Qianya and Dorothy to deal with their problems. Xia De plans to mention it to Dorothy when he meets the doctor tomorrow afternoon, and by the way, talk to her about Joy Barton's story.
"Blood species ring... where did this come from?"
Forcibly snatched the blood-colored metal ring from Mia's tail. This ring can be used by someone other than the wearer to chant a spell to transform any other race into a blood species, but the wearer will therefore be infected with a terrible thirst for blood. Even if the cat couldn't speak and couldn't become a "blood cat", Xia De still thought this thing was particularly dangerous for Mia.
Especially, the characteristics of... and... seem to be able to form a chain with clear conditions.
But the most difficult harvest to deal with is actually the blood brew brewed from a quarter of Joy Barton's soul. Xia De originally hoped to use this to exchange for the Red Butterfly Twins from that God of Blood, but he didn't expect that the god didn't look down on this bottle of wine at all and evaluated it as "garbage".
So, this bottle of blood brew was forced to stay in Xia De's hands. It undoubtedly has power, but Xia De hates improving power by "eating people", so he will not drink it himself, nor does he intend to sell it to others.... Barton's quarter of soul will stay in his basement forever. Many, many years later, when Xia De's life comes to an end, or he successfully ascends to the throne of God, he will look for Marilyn Handel and Joy Barton, comment on what they did after returning to the world, and consider whether to return the soul to the other party.
"I am indeed a good person."
Xia De was very satisfied with this.
The lost... is now in Luna's hands, and I believe I will find a way to get it back soon. Although it unfortunately "sacrificed", its sacrifice is valuable. Xia De will miss it forever and seize the time to find the next relic that may usurp divinity.
Xia De did not forget the help of... He hoped that he could witness the awakening of the departed Old God in his lifetime and thank the other party for their kindness in person.
"Although pursuing the Chosen One is dangerous, the harvest is really great."
The high-purity No. 2 holy water obtained from the Narrow Church was locked in the drawer of the study as strategic material, and the relics taken away before leaving home were also re-classified and contained.
And at the end of organizing the items on his body, Xia De found a roll of somewhat unfamiliar parchment. After thinking about it, he remembered that this was the reward given to him by Mr. Lacon Mathis, a thirteen-ring sorcerer in the Midhillburg parish of the Church of the Sun, for helping to guard the church before he split the Gate of Death with his sword (Chapter 782).
"I remember this is thaumaturgy -."
Opened the parchment on the sofa. Little Mia, who was still a bit angry because she was forced to drink "medicine" by Xia De, immediately wandered over and stretched her head, and then was taken off the... by Xia De again, which made the cat even more angry. But soon, it got..., so it forgot its anger at Xia De and meowed and lay on his lap.
"Don't always wear the same relic ring. You will be affected by the relic, but you can change it. I really don't know why you like such tail decorations instead of the little bell on your neck... Remember to remind me when I see Sister Daelin next week to ask where this ring came from."
Xia De talked to himself at the air.

PS: He thought of the resurrection point with a price here, but because this book does not involve the resurrection of important characters after death, this function is not mentioned in the text.
