Chapter 1621

Xia De reminded from the side:

"Priest, didn't you say that your potion and alchemy skills have improved a lot recently? If you have very precious potion formulas, you can make some for us."

He was referring to those potions and alchemical items related to ancient knowledge of angels that couldn't be easily brought out. The old priest nodded in sudden realization:

"Please let me express my gratitude to you. Next, I will go and prepare some unique potions; you will like them."

Besides this most precious Sage-level relic, the remaining two spoils were Keeper-level (Level 3) and Document-level (Level 4) respectively.

The Keeper-level relic was a fingernail, which was similar to the Magic Eye; both were relics that required replacing human body parts to exert effects:

"Keeper-level relic - 【Abomination of the Evil Soul】. Can only be replaced with the fingernails of the right hand's middle finger or index finger. Its characteristics are very extensive: enhancing power related to abomination and undead, and enhancing any miracle that requires gestures and seals to cast. Additionally, the hand wearing this fingernail can directly touch spiritual bodies and is regarded as the same kind by most spiritual bodies without actively attacking. As for the negative characteristics..."

The doctor shrugged:

"Body temperature will be lower than normal people, and one's own hateful emotions will be amplified. In cases of frequent use, there is a possibility of the body being usurped by an ancient evil spirit that cannot be named. I don't suggest that the four of you choose this relic; this thing is very evil."

There were fine engravings on the fingernail. Xia De had to rub with his finger pad to let "She" feel the existence of those letters. Their meaning was probably:

【Hate all, hate yourself.】

"None of us have any intention of replacing a part of ourselves with a relic."

Dorothy expressed on behalf of everyone:

"Doctor, do you think it's more appropriate to donate this relic to the Academy or sell it to Mr. Corps, who does business in corpse materials?"

Old John didn't accept any relics related to human body materials; everyone knew this.

"Donate it to the Academy. Although it's a bit of a loss, it's more appropriate to leave this kind of relic with strong danger for the Academy to handle."

As for the last Document-level relic, it was a wooden blowpipe. Although it was a rare weapon type, because its characteristics were only "infinite" and "coma," it was only rated as "Document-level."

Dorothy and Dr. Schneider were both interested in this relic. Dorothy wanted to use it for the "hunter" in her story. And Dr. Schneider, considering that he had already taken the 【Mind Peering Mirror】, gave up this relic, so the ownership of the relic belonged to Dorothy.

Of course, besides the relics, the Ring Mages defeated by the group of five also left behind other miscellaneous things, which the doctor also distributed to everyone during this group meeting.

As for the piece of refined gold ore that Xia De seized alone, it also belonged to the common distribution, but in the end, Xia De took it away.

In short, although Xia De didn't get anything valuable and just held the cat while watching the banknotes in front of him increase, this kind of group mission was indeed a rare opportunity that was bound to have major gains.

The doctor only arranged missions once or twice a year, considering that everyone had their own lives and worries. Actually, if Xia De's group was willing to take them, there were plenty of missions in civilized hinterlands like Tobesk City where the Academy's hands couldn't reach. Especially since their group was indeed the strongest correspondence student group in the local area.

Because everyone had gains, everyone was in a very good mood during the study session that afternoon. The doctor had the clinic's servant prepare baked cookies in advance, so even Mia was in a very good mood.

Besides "booty-sharing," the doctor also mentioned the summer exam week again. At the same time, Luvia also applied for a new miracle from the Academy:

"I'm about to reach the 6th ring... Why are you so surprised? Isn't Xia De's upgrade speed faster than mine? And after the doctor promoted from the 5th ring to the 6th ring, didn't he also reach the current 7th ring very quickly?"

The female diviner asked her companions. Others, considering what she said, indeed felt that her promotion speed wasn't that exaggerated.

Xia De didn't have anything important this week. Besides submitting two course papers, he also just asked the Academy about the relevant matters of him skipping from the current fourth grade to the sixth grade during the summer exams. This was also Miss Danister's requirement for him, so even though theoretically one couldn't skip grades consecutively, and one couldn't take upgrade exams during the summer exam week, the Academy had already made relevant arrangements.

When the meeting ended that afternoon, Xia De let Dorothy, who was preparing to borrow Luvia's coins at night, leave with Luvia first, while he intended to talk to Priest Augustus about other things.

They didn't leave by carriage but walked to Regent Park, which was very close to Röntgen Avenue where Dr. Schneider's clinic was located, for a stroll.

The arrival of spring made this famous park in Tobesk full of vitality. On Saturday afternoon, there were many people here: male and female students from the university district coming for dates, middle-class citizens bringing their children to play, and of course, art academy students sketching by the lake, and young people from who knows where sitting on the grass playing Rhode cards.

Xia De and Priest Augustus stood under a tree far from the crowd where they could overlook the artificial lake. Xia De took out the box from his body and gave the bone fragment he had obtained from the grave robber's tomb in the Green Lake City public cemetery to the priest, and explained the current situation:

"The clues about that group of grave robbers are very few. I am still investigating the news of the fountain pen's owner, a low-ring mage. But to be honest, I don't think the grave robbers have any more clues about the remains. The real clues should still be on Green Lake Central Island. The first lord, Klein Edwards, might have more remains."

The old priest frowned slightly:

"You just said that the other party is a 13th-ring diviner?"

He looked at the white bone fragment in his hand but didn't dissuade Xia De from going there again:

"This is truly dangerous. Since that's the case... when do you plan to land on the island next time?"

Megan said that she needed about a week to collect other materials for the keys related to "orichalcum":

"Earliest next Tuesday, but it could also be Wednesday or Thursday."

"That's good. Come find me before you set off; I'll give you some good things. Although it won't make you possess the power to defeat the 【Mirror Keeper】 all at once, at least you won't be in such a sorry state."

The priest smiled:

"The more remains there are, the more powerful I become. This has nothing to do with the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level itself; after all, Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi is just a form of power that appeared in this era. Of course, the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level is also very important. You see, Annette is also about to upgrade, so I'll consider whether to promote to the 4th ring recently; this is truly interesting."

Listening to the priest's tone, it seemed he wanted to promote whenever he wanted. And sayings like "power is not only related to Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi level" were mentioned by "She" when Xia De digested the twisted filth of the earth and wondered why he couldn't obtain the "Earth" spiritual rune.

The Outsider nodded silently:

"The matter in Green Lake is very complicated; maybe I will need your help later."

"This is actually you helping me; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go to such a far place to find things."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard noise coming from the lake. Looking down toward the low slope, the police were in conflict with two young students. Judging from the sound coming from the wind, the police suspected that the two were related to Karsinrik spies.

"Recently, there have been more and more such things in the city."

Priest Augustus on the side said. Xia De didn't answer but watched one of the two young men suddenly jump into the lake to escape, and then a gunshot rang out, breaking the peace of the spring afternoon in the park.

Blood bloomed on the lake surface; this was a rich color unique to the spring of 1854.

After bidding farewell to the priest, Xia De took Mia home by carriage. Although it was Saturday, it was Xia De and Dorothy's class time, but tonight's dinner was eaten by Xia De, Dorothy, and Luvia together.

When they returned home after eating dinner outside, the elegantly shaped gas street lamps around St. Theresa Square had already lit up. The ambiguous warm yellow light emanated from the glass lampshades. In the somewhat blurry halo, the three of them came to the door of No. 6 together, and then the shadows entered the door one by one.

"Are you sure you really want to do this?"

In the master bedroom of Room 1 on the second floor, Dorothy was already lying flat on Xia De's bed, while Xia De and Luvia stood by the bed, the latter holding the two 【Ghost Iron Coins】.

Neither of them approved of Dorothy experiencing the death-like feeling of soul departure in this way, but the blonde girl insisted on doing so.

She was already very familiar with this bed of Xia De's, so she didn't feel uncomfortable lying on it. Those beautiful emerald-green eyes looked at Xia De's face:

"If you act quickly, you can finish this in a few minutes. Tonight, we might even be able to do more interesting things. Besides, hasn't Xia De already set up a ritual to protect the soul under the bed?"

The gas lamp on the bedroom wall illuminated the three, as well as Little Mia huddled on Xia De's pillow; this cat was very interested in this scene.

"Then we have to agree, only thirty seconds for you. After thirty seconds, you must return to your body."

Xia De warned, and the blonde girl smiled and nodded on the bed:

"No problem, actually twenty seconds is enough. Luvia, you keep time. Let's start now. Oh, Xia De, please turn off the lights; the relic's effect will be better in a dark environment."

So the room lights went out, and Little Mia was also picked up by Xia De to prevent this cat from touching Dorothy halfway.

Two white candles were lit and placed on the bedside table. After Dorothy closed her eyes, Luvia leaned over and placed the two coins on her left and right eyelids respectively.
