Chapter 1467: Mithril and Blood Spirit School

~10 min read 1,890 words

"Can it be repaired?"

Xia De asked worriedly. Sister Daelin seemed to bite her lip, but because she was turning her face and the light in the Church of the Forsaken was very dim, Xia De didn't see it clearly.

【Yes, she bit her lip.】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear, which aroused Xia De's infinite imagination.

"It can be repaired. The sect retains its repair method, and the most important primal fire is still in the hands of the sect. But I need to collect materials."

"In that case, give you this."

Xia De nodded, then rummaged through his pockets and found a small piece of shiny metal.

This was found when he was looking for "Four Seasons Gems" in the underground secret room when he went to the old cemetery of the Granger family. Xia De thought at the time that this piece of metal was enough to pay for his tuition until graduation.

"Use this to repair it."

He insisted on stuffing the mithril into the nun's hand, which had slight burn marks. And the cat lying on Xia De's lap was not interested in metal that couldn't be eaten, so it didn't mind Xia De giving away things at home.

Seeing the nun hesitate, Xia De asked again: "Is this not enough?"

Although the broken part was not large, the entire "crown" had cracks. Moreover, repairing such a high-level divine art item was not just melting the metal and filling it in, so it was normal to use a lot of material.

Sister Daelin understood Xia De's meaning and wanted to refuse Xia De's kindness, but Xia De had already stuffed the entire mithril cube into her hand. To be honest, he was naturally a bit reluctant, but he also knew the significance of that eye patch to the nun:

"Don't be polite with me. This eye patch is so beautiful, it's a pity to leave scars. Moreover, nun, you don't want to wear a broken eye patch every day and be seen by others, right?"

Xia De said, and then felt that his wording was a bit strange, so he changed it to another way of saying it:

"You said you are a nun who holds fire, and I am the hero who carries the fire you chose. So I hope you care about your appearance and don't appear in front of me wearing an ugly eye patch. Can you accept this?"

Hearing Xia De say this, Sister Daelin turned her head even more obviously. She even turned sideways and lowered her head slightly, pulling up the collar of her robe, as if she wanted to cover the side of her face. This appearance didn't look like Xia De giving her a gift, but rather like Xia De bullying her.

【The second way of saying it is even more excessive.】 "She" said gently in Xia De's ear.

But regardless, Sister Daelin accepted this gift.

It was originally agreed to meet in this church at five o'clock sharp. The time had arrived, but Yi Yi Lu Na had not arrived yet. So seeing that there was still time, Xia De turned away from the increasingly bad topic and took out the small stone mirror again:

"And this, this mirror is the remains of the Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe. Oh, and that oil lamp, I put it in the basement. I will go get it in a while. The lamp contains the Sage-level relic - 【Undying Fire】. Nun, you know fire better than I do, I think you must know what this is."

He gave the mirror to the nun, and then stood up and went to the basement again, preparing to take out the cluster of flames in the oil lamp. Compared with the peculiar appearance of the primal fire, that is, the circular flame core and the slender flame tail dragged upward, the appearance of 【Undying Fire】 was very ordinary.

In front of Xia De, Sister Daelin sat there, holding the flame with both hands. Then, she lowered her head slightly, as if she wanted to "splash" the flame on her face, but in fact, the delicate face did not touch the flame, but the palms slowly closed, until the flame was completely wrapped in the palms.

Fire, the raging flame burst out from the nun's fingers, and soon the flame wrapped around the nun's hands. Xia De even saw the burn marks on the back of her hands become more serious.

But the nun did not let Xia De help, but silently held the flame. For a full five minutes, the violent flame gradually calmed down. When the nun opened her palms again, only the slender flame that was burning silently remained.

Thus, when Yi Yi Lu Na, who was late, stepped on the steps at the entrance of the church, she saw at a glance...

... in front of the pulpit of the ancient church, Sister Daelin held her hands together and held them forward and bowed slightly, while Xia De knelt on one knee in front of her, extending his right hand to touch the nun's palm.

The old church and the dim light made this scene look even more solemn and sacred. Yi Yi Lu Na subconsciously stopped her steps, but immediately she reacted, coughed to signal that she had arrived, and then walked into the church.

And at this time, Xia De had touched the raging primal fire again. New power appeared because the flame and firewood were thrown into the fire. Of course, because the quality of the firewood this time was far inferior to the "Evil Thing of Pantanal", the primal fire only gave Xia De abilities such as flame strengthening, which were minor details.

"Good afternoon, Yi Yi Lu Na."

Standing up and patting the dirt on his knees, Xia De greeted Yi Yi Lu Na, and then praised: "The move of earth power you used on Saturday was really amazing."

Yi Yi Lu Na controlled her smile and said very reservedly:

"Actually, it's nothing, just consuming a lot of spirit, relying on the power of the earth to throw the fire of the sun. However, the consumption of this thaumaturgy is really huge, and the range attack does not distinguish between friend and foe. There is almost no scene for use in an urban environment."

"That's also very amazing."

Xia De praised again. Yi Yi Lu Na nodded, a bit embarrassed: "How is your body?"

"Completely fine, otherwise Luvia wouldn't have let me out so easily." Xia De laughed, and then asked:

"Speaking of which, did the church investigate why the 'Blood-Weeping' Hermons came here this time? It's really confusing that he wasn't caught in the end and his 【Blood Spirit School】 appeared this time. I think it's impossible to just help the cultists. They don't have such a kind heart."

"Oh, this has been investigated, thanks to Sister Daelin." Yi Yi Lu Na said, and signaled the two to go to the basement together:

"According to the testimony of the 【Blood Spirit School】 ring sorcerers we caught, and the clues Sister Daelin found when fighting Hermons, the church judged that the 【Blood Spirit School】 came here this time to obtain the first-hand material of 'non-life transformed into life'."

"Refers to those stone men? Wait, does the 【Blood Spirit School】 not pursue 'Golden Bloodline', abandon flesh-first, and change to pursue stone turning into people?"

Xia De was very curious, but Yi Yi Lu Na didn't know very clearly:

"This still needs further investigation, but it is certain that this is related to the door they found leading to the 【Creation Delivery Room】. Perhaps, it is because they discovered the limit of flesh and blood, so they don't intend to be human anymore."

The seventeen-year-old girl made a small joke, and Sister Daelin added:

"When I fought Hermons, I felt that a small part of his body was not normal human." "Stone?"

Xia De asked curiously:

"He wouldn't also have a stone heart, would he?"

The nun shook her head immediately:

"Not stone, it's mechanical. I cut off one of his hands, and the bones in that arm were replaced by brass metal structures. Besides that, there should be other complex machines in his body."

Xia De frowned immediately, but the clues he had were not enough, so he couldn't guess what the 【Blood Spirit School】 was going to do. But this time, the 【Blood Spirit School】 should have already obtained the information they wanted. Maybe next time he sees that thirteen-ring sorcerer who is very good at running away, he will really "not be human".

The three of them entered the secret passage under the Butterfly Cemetery through the ancient god statue in the basement, and then entered the butterfly cemetery, walking toward the depths along the tomb passage.

The exchange along the way also let Xia De know the current communication situation between the "Chosen One of the Earth" and the True God Church.

Simply put, the Guardians and the church made an agreement that when the earth is destroyed and the world faces a survival crisis, he will definitely appear to help, but apart from that, don't think he will appear at any time.

This is not because the "Guardian" doesn't like the church, but because he knows his responsibilities very well. Moreover, compared to the church, the Guardians obviously value Xia...

... De more.

The Five God Churches wanted to communicate further with the Guardian, but unfortunately they couldn't contact the Guardian at all. The location of the "Heart of the Earth" cannot be reached by normal means, and Xia De had no intention of sharing the only known path with others.

He didn't want others to step into Mr. Lehman's tomb casually. That was his friend's resting place after all.

Now, although the "fragment of the Heart of the Earth" was given to the Guardian as an artifact symbolizing the power of the ancient god during the Chosen One ritual, now that the earth has been purified, entering the Heart of the Earth no longer requires oneself to be "heavy enough".

In the culvert at the end of the underground tomb, the ground was no longer a pitch-black mud pool, but a bottomless pit that seemed to connect to the abyss. The three jumped down one by one, and after a not-so-long fall, they arrived at the magma lake located in the center of the earth.

Compared with the last time they came here, except that the black mud no longer fell from the pitch-black giant rock located in the center above the magma lake, there was no change here.

It was just that when the three walked along the slender stone path from the edge of the magma lake to the center of the lake, they found that two oblique cracks had appeared on the pitch-black giant rock.

The Guardian knelt on one knee in front of the irregular slender stone pillar standing in the center of the lake island. After noticing the arrival of the three, he first gave Sister Daelin the power to step into the "Heart of the Earth" at will, and then stood up to greet them.

"What are these cracks?"

Xia De asked.

"Scars of the earth."

The Guardian's answer was very short. ===== CHAPTER 1468 =====
