Chapter 1466: Damaged Eye Patch
【Another story has ended, do you have any thoughts?】
After tidying up those harvests, when Xia De was about to touch the statue and go to Randall Valley, "she" asked softly in Xia De's ear.
So Xia De looked at the shelf where the souvenirs were stored, shook his head slightly, and entered the white thick fog: "What thoughts can I have? The old story ends, and a new story will always have to begin."
The Church of the Forsaken was still as cold and clear as when Xia De first came in January.
Walking out of the church, one could still feel the pain of the city after the earthquake. Although the streetscape of Cherry Leaf Street was not too damaged by the earthquake, the people walking in a hurry and the gloomy sky that was no longer snowing still seemed to cover the city with a gloomy filter called "pain".
The sadness, depression, and anxiety permeating the city also infected Xia De a little. Although he thought he had found the best ending, there would never be an absolutely perfect thing, and he could only find a relatively good result.
He did not go to the Wilde Opera House or Benanis Manor. After disguising himself, Xia De took a carriage in a low-key manner and headed to the Abundant Earth Hotel in the city center.
When he arrived at the hotel, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Just after pushing the door in, Xia De saw Doctor Schneider, who was sitting by the wall dressed in Randall Valley-style robes, talking to Miss Marilyn Handel, while Joy Barton's soul stood aside, frowning and listening.
Xia De went to the counter to ask for a cup of hot tea first, and then sat down at the table. Miss Handel still didn't speak much:
"The Randall Valley incident is over, and Joy and I will continue our journey." "Then I wish you a smooth journey, please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude again."
Xia De said. Luvia said this morning that although this lady did not show up during the Great War on Saturday, she cleared away the undead attracted by the filthy earth, so that the Randall Valley after the great disaster did not have too many haunting incidents.
Miss Handel shook her head slightly:
"With so many casualties locally, we should have appeared here to guide those lost souls to the end. Now that the investigation forces of the church and the academy are about to arrive, it is time for us to leave."
She did not get up immediately, but Joy Barton, who was in a special soul state, spoke. Although he was a soul, his special bond with Miss Handel meant that even a ring sorcerer absolutely could not see him if he didn't want to be seen, so even Doctor Schneider could only vaguely feel that there was a strange soul here.
"Xia De, the death aura of the material world has become thicker. Although you saved everything again and seem to have obtained a perfect ending, and gained the trust of the Chosen One of the Earth, this has not fundamentally reversed the fact that the final death is coming."
Xia De frowned slightly, and then nodded:
"I understand."
The two did not talk more. Xia De took out a bulging wallet from his pocket and placed it on the table. Miss Handel did not refuse. After nodding slightly, she took the wallet and walked toward the door with Joy Barton, who was saying goodbye to Xia De.
"Is it convenient to reveal how much money is in that wallet?"
The doctor held his teacup and asked with his head tilted curiously.
Xia De looked left and right, and gestured a few times on the table soaked in wine stains, which surprised the wealthy single middle-aged psychologist:
"Really generous."
"I am active in Randall Valley, it's not like I don't have a reward."
Xia De covered his smile, took a sip of the teacup, and put the dishonest cat on his lap.
Just counting the treasure found behind the sewer wall with Yi Yi Lu Na, it was enough to catch up with his savings. Just as Xia De had always believed, it was not difficult for a ring sorcerer to make money if he wanted to.
Because there were some sensitive topics to talk about, the two returned to the room Xia De rented here. Of course, Xia De had never lived here. Renting the room was just to let "John Watson" have a legal address for sending and receiving letters. Even if he stayed overnight locally...
... most of the time he lived at Luvia's place.
The doctor liked the room Xia De rented very much. It happened that Xia De didn't know how long he would stay, so he rented the room for a month, so the doctor could live here for these days.
After the two sat down, Xia De took out the "Book of Malphas Demon" and wanted the doctor to check it. However, the content inside was really too much, so this book was temporarily left with the doctor and returned to Xia De after he finished checking it.
Of course, the doctor would also understand all the knowledge recorded in it during this period, but Xia De didn't care. After all, the doctor already knew enough demonic knowledge, and one more book didn't matter.
"I heard from Luvia that you plan to stay locally for a few days?"
After talking about the book, Xia De asked. The doctor nodded with a smile:
"Yes, I have never been to Randall Valley. Since I finally came, how can I leave immediately? As for the investigation of the correspondence student status... isn't it not our turn yet?"
"But Luvia may not be able to go back with you. The professors of the academy will give her a ride."
"That's fine, I can arrange my itinerary as I like. Today is Sunday, I will stay here until Wednesday next week at the latest before setting off. Even if the scenery here is good, it can't compare to my own home."
"I agree with this point very much."
Xia De nodded and expressed his gratitude to the doctor for coming to help again.
"I didn't actually help much. The demons were all defeated by you. Although I met Anate later and helped her and the other young lady defeat the enemy, that's what I should do. I am the team leader."
Doctor Schneider said, but he and Xia De tacitly did not talk about what happened between dawn and morning on Saturday.
Although the doctor did not see Xia De participate in the final battle with his own eyes, he could guess that Xia De and Luvia must have a major relationship with this matter. It's just that since everyone in the group has their own secrets, there is no need to explore too deeply.
Moreover, the "Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe" that Xia De gave him this time was really a big gift.
"Speaking of which, Doctor, since you are going to stay in Randall Valley for a few days, are you interested in visiting Father Murphy of the Church of Dawn with me?"
Xia De asked again. "Who?"
The doctor asked subconsciously, then reacted and patted his leg with a smile:
"The old gentleman who bet with Father August and won 10 pence from Father August?"
"Yes, Luvia and I visited him last month. That Father Murphy is now Bishop Murphy. We didn't see him last time. Luvia probably has to go back soon and doesn't have time to go with me again. Are you interested in going together?"
Xia De issued an invitation, and the doctor agreed immediately:
"Of course, this matter absolutely cannot leave me behind. Do you know? I always thought that Father August's rigid and old-fashioned style was something he was born with... This can't be considered speaking ill of him behind his back. Last time the old priest mentioned that he owed money after betting with others, I have been curious about what happened. Now I can finally find the answer."
"Then when do you have time? Oh, Doctor, tomorrow morning is not okay, I am going to attend a funeral."
"Let me think... sightseeing plan, curator cursed by demons, Captain Woody who summoned demons... Wednesday morning, I can buy a train ticket for Wednesday afternoon."
After agreeing with Doctor Schneider on the time for the next meeting, Xia De bid farewell and left. As for the Osenfort Manor incident, Xia De hadn't heard the news since he woke up. But even if he and the doctor covered up the traces, the traces of the demonic domain covering that area could not disappear completely, so the church would know sooner or later that Stone Osenfort was the mortal who signed a contract with the demon.
But fortunately, it was all over.
Leaving the Abundant Earth Hotel, Xia De returned to the Church of the Forsaken again. After sitting for a while in the position where the stone statue of Mr. Lathers, which had been moved away at some point, originally sat, very light footsteps...
... sounded from the open door.
Xia De had made an appointment with Sister Daelin and Yi Yi Lu Na to visit the Guardian in the "Heart of the Earth" again. Judging from the footsteps, it was clearly the blind nun who came, because she made almost no sound when she walked.
The nun walked to Xia De's side, put her hands behind her knees to gather her robes, and then sat down.
Xia De originally wanted to say hello, but when he turned his head, he saw that the exquisite silver eye patch like a crown worn by the nun had peeled off a small piece on the side, near the ear. That area was about the size of two fingernails. Although Sister Daelin deliberately covered it with her gray hair, it was still quite obvious.
Looking carefully, not only that small gap, but the entire eye patch actually had cracks. "Oh, what happened to this?"
Xia De asked in surprise. The nun put her hands together on her knees, as if she was a bit uncomfortable. She turned slightly, not wanting Xia De to see the "scars" on her eye patch clearly. However, the turning action made the missing piece even more conspicuous.
"Before dawn on Saturday, I, along with Professor Dannister of St. Byron's, and the 'Winter Singer', a thirteen-ring sorcerer of the 【Winter Carol Group】, encountered some accidents when fighting the 'Blood-Weeping' Hermons and the statues made by cultists."
She gave Xia De a task:
"But this eye patch is a legacy relic left by the Church of the Ancient God of Death, right? It will also be damaged?" "This is not the first time in history. And Xia De, everything will have an end."
The nun who held the fire said softly, but it seemed that she didn't want to talk to Xia De about her eye patch damage. ===== CHAPTER 1467 =====
