Chapter 1609: Desert, Graveyard, and Maid Dress

"Doctor, can you tell where this is?"

"There is only sand here, and I don't have the ability to know the origin just by tasting the sand."

The middle-aged man with blue eyes shook his head on the roof, squinting at the distance of the desert:

"In order to track demons, I have been to many places, but I have never been to the desert area. Demons tend to appear in places where humans live. This kind of desolate area only has sealed demons, and this kind of sealed existence is the hardest to find."

"I have been in the Green Lake area for this period of time, and I haven't encountered demons there... actually, I have."

He briefly described the glass bottle containing seven-colored smoke and the blue giant spirit that appeared from the river in the past "seven-day travel story", and the doctor showed a surprised expression:

"This is quite famous, Sage-level relic 【Greed's Reward】. Wish, realize, then you are unlucky, the characteristic is just that simple. The demon sealed in the bottle and became part of the relic is called 'Wish Demon - Zatanar'. Just as humans can become relics, demons can of course. And it was only after being sealed that it became an unlucky relic."

"Can you swallow this?"

The wind and sand were strong, and there was no need to worry about Luweiya, who was sprinkling salt, hearing this conversation.

"Of course not, I can absorb the original power of demons, not the power of relics. Whisper elements are not so easy to deal with. The other party became a relic, so it cannot be considered a pure ancient evil spirit demon. To give a simple example, you can eat tomatoes, but you certainly cannot eat tomatoes that have become relics."

While speaking, the sand rolling with the strong wind on the roof surface vibrated.

Luweiya under the roof reminded the two loudly:

"Something is coming from underground."

Actually, there was no need for her to remind, because with the violent shaking of the ground, a multi-legged sand worm taller than this warehouse had already drilled out of the sand.

Multi-legged, arthropod, the opened mouthparts were dense sharp barbs. After having a face-to-face with this thing, Xia De was very worried that he would not sleep well afterward.

"You come or I come?"

He asked while watching the sand worm's movements, and the doctor signaled Xia De not to do it:

"I'll come. When I was in Randall Valley, I was originally going to help you, but except for helping Annette defeat a strange thing, I almost did nothing. After returning to Tobesk, I couldn't fight with full strength in the city. This opportunity is good, let you see the battle of a seven-ring warlock."

The doctor said, but did not summon his life ring. He glared at the sand worm that was about to attack, and the momentum for a moment actually made the giant worm stop its movement stiffly.

Afterward, the doctor neatly cut his palm with a dagger and threw his blood forward. As the blood fell on the sand, wriggling shadows formed in large swaths under the starry night of the desert, and then a towering "giant" burning with flames appeared completely in front of the warehouse, grabbing the giant worm and dragging it out of the sand ground alive.

"Fire Demon?"

"Not a complete Fire Demon. I got inspiration after reading your book "Book of Malphas Demons". In the past, I borrowed the power of demons myself. In fact, I can completely summon the power of those swallowed demons sleeping in my body."

His hands pulled fiercely to the left and right, and the Fire Demon also made a similar movement, so the giant sand worm was torn into two sections by the Fire Demon. The worm with extremely strong vitality had not died even like this, but immediately the black mud of "human pus" sprayed from the Fire Demon's mouth, symbolizing the power of the deepest darkness, completely corroding the worm.

Unlike in the forest, this time there was only this one sand worm. Luweiya's movements were fast, and before the second enemy appeared, she completed the containment reinforcement of the coffin.

The dim yellow night sky of the desert disappeared, and the night scene of Tobesk with fog reappeared. Dorothy and Priest August jumped from the courtyard of the warehouse to the roof, asking about the situation just now. Dr. Schneider immediately closed his eyes and turned around to let Xia De answer, for fear of being seen by them the terrible scene remaining in his eyes.

Luweiya looked out from the gate of the warehouse, and for a while didn't understand the big movement just now, whether it was Xia De's or Dr. Schneider's.

In her view, both had such ability:

"Why would I think so?"

The purple-eyed girl asked herself in confusion.

This night seemed longer than any other night. The appearance of the "desert" was when it was close to ten o'clock in the evening. Afterward, when midnight arrived, the relic had problems again, and this time the scene that appeared after the spatial disorder was an island that was not large, and the location of the warehouse was the edge of the island.

As for the enemies that appeared, they were a group of water ghosts that Xia De was very familiar with. This time there were no powerful individuals among the enemies, but the scene of dense water ghosts landing from the water and charging toward the warehouse was still scalp-numbing.

Although there were many, it was quite simple to solve this time. Priest August snapped his fingers, and the chain corpse explosion technique detonated the first water ghost, followed by a series of explosions. This occult art that can detonate another corpse in the adjacent area after a corpse explodes is very convenient when dealing with this kind of scene.

After the time reached the second half of the night, the police patrolling the warehouse area became more for some reason. The "martial law tonight" mentioned by the patrol police encountered when the carriage went to here became a reality. Dr. Schneider even specifically went to ask the police passing by the gate of the warehouse courtyard, but didn't ask for any valuable clues.

It was around 1:30 in the morning that a man with a gunshot wound in his body stumbled past this area. It was just that he didn't look like he would die for a while, and the group was still performing the mission, so they didn't pay attention.

It wasn't until two o'clock that Xia De heard Dorothy talk about it in the courtyard. The man who passed by just now seemed to be the person the Military Intelligence Section 6 was looking for. Of course, it was not the Darian nobleman with unknown identity, but the waiter responsible for receiving the nobleman.

Because of the gunshot wound, he eventually did not escape the pursuit of the Military Intelligence Section 6. It was just that Lei Qianya regretfully informed Xia De through Dorothy that the other party bit the poison sac in his teeth and committed suicide.

The fourth mutation of that coffin appeared at 3:17 AM. At that time, Xia De and the doctor continued to chat on the roof of the warehouse, and Dorothy was guarding the coffin in the camp in the warehouse. When the night scene of Tobesk disappeared and the endless graveyard scene appeared, Priest August and Luweiya in the courtyard did not follow.

"Whose graveyard is this, how is it so big?"

The doctor looked around suspiciously. Xia De was about to speak, but heard the girl in the warehouse say a bit flustered:

"Someone help me, this time it's not right, the coffin is shaking, the things inside are knocking!"

"Xia De, you go. Remember, under no circumstances can you open it."

The doctor frowned. This situation was not mentioned in the information given by the Academy:

"It might be that the environment here affected it, this graveyard is very strange. You and Luoyisha go to deal with it, leave the rest to me."

When Xia De jumped off the roof and returned to the warehouse, he immediately saw the Match Girl holding a small basket and the Sleeping Princess dressed in a sky-blue long dress, who were jointly suppressing the violent shaking of the coffin.

Dorothy nervously sprinkled the refined salt in her hand by the bonfire, but after those salts contacted the coffin, only one-third could remain, and the rest almost melted immediately. The whisper elements originally suppressed by the coffin were rapidly spreading to the surroundings. As the knocking sound in the metal coffin became louder and louder, the Angel-level relic had begun to directly affect the surrounding environment.

Dang-lang~

The Night Watchman was placed flat on the surface of the coffin by Xia De. Although the relic contained in this coffin was suspected to be stronger than Xia De's sword, fortunately 【Night Watchman】 could exert its complete power, while the relic in the coffin could not.

The golden-yellow rune of "My heart is clear, the sword slays demons" grew brighter and brighter within the radiance of the silver sword body, and the tremors of the coffin were gradually suppressed.

"Xia De, hurry!"

So Xia De, Dorothy, and the two girls summoned together sprinkled salt, while the winged humanoid corpses that appeared outside the warehouse flew into the air and fought with Dr. Schneider.

Fire, lava, black mirror, silt, the doctor showed combat power far exceeding that of a normal middle-ring warlock. After the last corpse was split and fell into the earth, Xia De and Dorothy also successfully suppressed the relic. It was just that after the spatial disorder ended, Xia De did not take back 【Night Watchman】.

The whisper elements did not completely curl back into the coffin, which meant that the power of the contained relic did not subside, but because of the existence of 【Night Watchman】, it could not cause other anomalies.

Xia De let Priest August and Luweiya enter the warehouse together and guard the coffin with Dorothy, while he returned to the roof to inform the doctor of the current situation:

"This won't work. Once this relic breaks through containment, even if we are powerful, we can't deal with it."

"I'll ask the Academy."

The doctor said, sending a letter to the Academy through the poetry manuscript pages. Because the group was performing a special mission, even in the middle of the night, the reply from the Academy came very quickly. The doctor unfolded the letter sealed with the school emblem and looked at it twice, then handed it to Xia De:

"The Academy believes through our description that the power of the graveyard just now stimulated the remains in the coffin. The sudden riot of the relic power caused problems with the coffin itself as a containment measure. However, there is a solution. Next time there is a problem, put a cat or a black crow on the coffin lid, which can effectively solve the trouble. As for the trouble of the coffin itself, the next batch of ring warlocks who take over the mission at dawn will handle it."

"Crow? This is temporarily unavailable, but a cat?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows:

"How about I go catch one now? There are quite a few stray cats in the city, and I haven't heard less cat calls nearby tonight."

After all, spring has already arrived.

"The Academy said, it is best to be a cat or crow with certain special abilities, this is the safest..."

The doctor looked at Xia De with difficulty, and Xia De nodded:

"That's good, I'll find Little Mia. This is a bit dangerous for it, so after I come back, I will watch the coffin."

Now Little Mia is with Lei Qianya, so Xia De used the excuse of checking whether the reconnaissance ritual in the courtyard was damaged in the battle just now, called Dorothy out alone, and explained Mia's matter.

"No problem, I'll tell Lei Qianya. Although she has already fallen asleep, our communication will not stop because of sleep. I'll let her send Mia to the door to meet you now."

"Already asleep? No, no, don't let Lei Qianya go out."

Xia De shook his head:

"I'll go home by throwing the crystal shoe, and then go to the gate of Yodel Palace. Let Lei Qianya send someone to send Little Mia to the gate, that cat won't miss me."

The blonde girl looked at him with pursed lips:

"You really are... well, let Lei Qianya arrange a carriage to send you back later, pay attention to safety on the road, after all, there is martial law tonight."

Throwing crystal shoes in Tobesk city, the spirit consumed doesn't even need to be replenished with a pink bottle. And when Xia De arrived at Yodel Palace, because he came too fast, the carriage and the cat had not arrived yet.

However, he didn't wait long before he welcomed the maid holding the cat and the carriage preparing to send him to the West City. It was just that when he walked closer to see, the red-haired maid holding the cat and walking down the carriage, wearing a black and white maid dress, was clearly Lei Qianya:

"How could I not come to see you?"

The Princess said reproachfully. The cat, which was originally drowsy, saw Xia De and immediately became energetic:

"Meow~"

Xia De hugged Mia, and then gave Lei Qianya a hug:

"Go back to rest quickly, I'll handle the warehouse matter."

She probably climbed out of bed in a hurry, and even her hair was just simply circled with a headband decorated with lace ruffles from the maids. The smell of perfume was very light, but this smell was just right for Xia De.

"You've worked hard too."

The Princess stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De on the side of the face, then signaled Xia De to look at her attire:

"How about this maid dress? Maybe I can keep a set at your house."

"Of course good... I mean, we can discuss this topic next time we meet."

Under the gas street lamp on the side of Silver Cross Avenue, the red-haired girl's smile was very bright. ===== CHAPTER 1610 =====
