Chapter 1572: Group Mission and Cursed Mirror

Xia De didn't stay long at Mr. Ai De Meng De's place and left before dinner. When he returned home, he was still guessing whether the water ghost pheromones on him would be smelled by Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya. The fact was, until Xia De took another bath, little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya kept avoiding him as if she were avoiding a stinking salted fish.

The following Saturday, Xia De still hadn't received a letter from the apothecary lady at the Green Lake Hotel. If it weren't for the fact that she still entrusted someone to bring a message asking Xia De to wait a little longer, Xia De had even thought about whether he should try to find her himself.

Saturday was the time for the group meeting, so apart from going to the Green Lake Hotel to scout for information in the morning, Xia De had no other travel plans. After returning from Green Lake, he spent the whole morning at home writing his reading report, and after having lunch with Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, he went to the doctor's clinic.

When he saw Priest Ao Gu Si, he thought again about the fact that the "Angel's Finger Bone" in the Green Lake region hadn't been dealt with. The grave robber who sold those Angel's Finger Bones to Hai La Ao Sen Fu Te's father came from Mi Kai La Blast Furnace City, but Xia De had no clues about this yet; after all, he really knew nothing about that group of grave robbers.

Now that it was the 12th day of the Month of Sowing, spring had truly arrived. Every week when he saw the others in the group, everyone's clothing would change. And on this afternoon, the doctor, wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt, talked to the other four in the group about his recent plan to organize a group activity:

"Yes, the five of us will act together. Since Xia De joined our group, apart from the time at the Lake View Manor, we have rarely carried out collective activities."

The doctor distributed the document papers in his hand to the four:

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, and it's not asking you to go to the Lake View Manor to attend a banquet again. Compared to last year when Xia De wasn't here, our group's strength has been greatly improved; we can even be said to be the strongest correspondence Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi group in the To Bei Si Ke region. I accepted a bounty from the Academy this time related to our region, and you will definitely be satisfied with the reward."

Xia De took the document from the doctor and placed it on the cat sleeping on his lap:

"Next Thursday, there is a steam train transporting a coffin from the south, and we are asked to go to the train station to pick up the goods at night and protect it until dawn?" He scanned the document in surprise:

"It says here that the information about the coffin involves the Academy's top-secret data, and we won't know the situation until Thursday evening. This is truly fresh; we accepted the mission without even knowing what the situation is."

"This kind of mission to help the Academy pick up and deliver goods is rare, but once it appears, it means a generous reward. Of course, the risk cannot be underestimated. The mission description says that besides the danger of the coffin itself, one must also be careful of the Ring Mages tracking the coffin."

The doctor introduced simply:

"The coffin seems to be transported from overseas. My acquaintance at Saint Byron said this thing is very important. If it weren't for the special period, high-level Ring Mages from the Academy couldn't enter a big city like To Bei Si Ke at will, and the Academy doesn't want the church to know that they have brought such a dangerous thing into To Bei Si Ke, so this mission wouldn't have fallen to correspondence students."

"Sounds like it's not a small matter. How will the coffin be handled afterward?" Priest Ao Gu Si asked curiously.

"We protect it until dawn, and then someone else will take over and transport it out of To Bei Si Ke. After that, it has nothing to do with us." The doctor clearly had inquired very thoroughly:

"The people coming to pick up the goods are not from the Academy, but high-level Ring Mages from other Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi groups cooperating with the Academy. As long as we wait for the other party to arrive, anything that happens afterward has nothing to do with us."

"This mission sounds pretty good. It reminds me of the mission we accepted in the winter of 1852 to protect a Sage-level artifact. I remember I hid that Relic in the opinion mailbox outside the president's office on the third floor of the Divination Society, so we could free up our hands to deal with the greedy guys who were lured here. This time, the coffin probably can't be hidden."

Lu Lu Weiya evaluated, flipping a coin for a simple divination:

"Fate tells me that it doesn't look very dangerous. The reward for this mission is... cash, credits, and a Relic of the Keeper level? What Relic?"

The blonde writer lady asked while looking at the document in her hand, then flipped to the last page:

"Oh, it turns out it was written on the last page. Keeper-level Relic 【Mind-Peering Mirror】? Doctor, this sounds very suitable for you."

"Yes, this is very important to me. After the mission is over, this Relic will belong to me, and I will compensate you. How about it, are you going to participate?" The doctor asked the crowd eagerly. Xia De thought for a moment:

"I shouldn't have anything on Thursday night, I can participate." "Can you estimate how strong the strongest enemy is?"

The old priest didn't give an answer immediately but asked a prudent question.

"At most, it's mid-level. The probability of high-level appearing is very small, and the Academy will give us a batch of supplies to help us complete the mission... Supplies that aren't used up don't need to be returned."

The doctor said, and Priest Ao Gu Si nodded with a smile:

"I originally had to attend a banquet, but I can cancel it. No problem, I'll participate, and I will prepare a batch of useful potions in advance."

"I have no problem either. Participating in collective activities occasionally is not bad; it helps to enhance cohesion. Since I promoted to mid-level, I haven't really dealt with Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi combat, so this opportunity is quite good."

Duo Luo Qian also said. As for Lu Lu Weiya, she naturally indicated that she had no problem.

"That's good. More specific news will be given to you later. Everyone gather at my place on Thursday afternoon, and then go to To Bei Si Ke train station together. Yes, it's the street where Xia De took a bullet last summer."

"Doctor, you can actually use other landmarks to explain the location." Xia De, who was stroking Xiao Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya, said helplessly.

At the group meeting this afternoon, apart from this matter, the doctor mentioned the summer exam week as usual.

Although it seemed that not much time had passed since the winter exam week, in fact, it was already the middle of April. According to the tradition of summer exams in July and August every year, more than half of the first semester had passed.

"Has so much time passed?" Lu Lu Weiya asked in surprise:

"I thought it was just the beginning of the school year."

"Don't always wait until June to rush your review." The blue-eyed psychologist shook his head:

"Handle those elective courses well, and prepare for the final papers that need to be finished. Our group's grades were quite good last winter, and I don't want anyone to say they might fail after the summer exams. However, that is a matter for two or three months later. There hasn't been anything big at the Academy recently, just the notice for assisting in investigating foreign Ring Mages visiting the area during the Ring City Equestrian Competition was just sent, and I don't know what the Academy wants to check."

"Probably the Mirror Association."

Priest Ao Gu Si said while wiping his pipe, so the doctor asked another question:

"Priest, after the people from the Mirror Association were caught, was 【Faceless Man】 contained?"

"No, this humanoid Relic took the initiative to leave the area and is now wandering in the wild. It should complete self-containment soon, which has nothing to do with us anymore."

It was Lu Lu Weiya who gave the answer:

"But another suspected Unknown-level (0-level) Relic, 【If】, has had no news until now. 【If】 came to this city by itself and has nothing to do with the Mirror Association. I don't know where it is now."

"Unknown-level Relics are too far away from us. Let's talk about the Mirror Association. Speaking of which, I have had a past with them."

The doctor said something very surprising in a casual tone. Priest Ao Gu Si stopped wiping his pipe, Lu Lu Weiya put down the coin in her hand, Duo Luo Qian, who was leaning on the sofa, sat up straight, and Xia De also took his hand off Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya.

The doctor didn't expect everyone to have such a big reaction. He asked suspiciously: "I haven't mentioned it before?"

"No."

The blonde female writer, who had the second-highest seniority in the group, shook her head:

"That must have been before I joined the group, right? I haven't heard you mention it either." "Doctor, tell us what that was about."

Xia De urged:

"Perhaps we will encounter people from the Mirror Association, tell us your story with them." "Yes, Bill, let us hear your story too."

Priest Ao Gu Si also urged.

So Bill Schneider nodded and said with quite a bit of emotion:

"That was probably more than ten years ago; I've forgotten the specific time. At that time, I went to... deal with a very dangerous ancient creature." He winked at Xia De, clearly one of the demons he had hunted and devoured in the past.

"It wasn't in the local area, but in a small town in the northeast of De La Rui Ang. At that time, the Mirror Association also took a fancy to that dangerous ancient evil creature, but unlike me who wanted to kill it, the Mirror Association wanted to use a mirror to seal it."

The doctor also explained to everyone about the Mirror Association:

"They possess an Angel-level (1-level) Relic, 【Ancient Mirror of Fa Sha's Curse】. That mirror can seal non-humanoid creatures and use the mirror to release their mirror images to fight. It is a Relic with quite strong practicality. The Mirror Association relies on the thirteen-ring Mirror Hider and this mirror to be able to operate as an illegal Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi organization in the Old Continent for a long time in such a peaceful era. Otherwise, they would have ended up like the 【Blood Spirit School】, forced to flee to the New Continent."

The ability of this mirror made Xia De think of the 【Past Life·?】 he had obtained from...

Duo Luo Qian asked with great interest, and the doctor nodded:

"Needless to say, back then in that small town, I encountered a high-level, two mid-level Ring Mages, and a pair of twin brothers with strange abilities." Hearing "twins," Xia De instinctively paid attention. ===== CHAPTER 1573 =====

Dorothy asked with great interest, and the doctor nodded:

"Needless to say, back then in the small town, I encountered one high-ring and two mid-ring mages, as well as a pair of twin brothers with strange abilities." Hearing "twins," Xia De instinctively paid attention.
