Chapter 1655: The Soul That Will Eventually Return
The doctor left alone, and Xia De returned to the front door of the Three Cats Hotel and sat down opposite Drout Gilles.
He didn't mean to eat with the other party here, and said very directly:
"The expert on curses has already seen your situation. The potion to lift the curse will be sent to this place on the weekend. You should rent a room here as a communication address in a while, otherwise the landlady here, Mrs. Sangmei, may not be willing to help you receive mail."
"Only one bottle of antidote is enough?"
The man whose face was still pale said in astonishment:
"If it's so simple, I..."
"That's because you didn't find an expert. Remember to be a good person in the future, don't go to rob other people's tombs again. The contract you want to sign with me will be sent together with the antidote. After you sign it, send it to Professor Manning. He knows where I am staying in the city."
Xia De said again, and the man showed an excited expression on his face:
"Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I..."
"Don't be happy too early."
Xia De interrupted him, looked left and right to make sure no one was at the table nearby:
"Do you know that the father of this 'little lady' beside you is Thirteen-Ring, and he is a Thirteen-Ring diviner who defected from the Diviner Association. He left a prophecy in the bloodline of all descendants that the family will reunite one day. I don't know if this includes souls."
The girl's soul floated beside the man and clapped her hands. After Xia De's words fell, she actually took the initiative to sing the prophecy:
"When the day of reconciliation comes~ the scattered bloodline returns to the origin of the family~ we will drink the wine of longevity together~ and escape the cage of the world~"
"Okay, it seems it really includes her."
Xia De shook his head:
"And her father couldn't have been unaware that you escaped from that island back then. Letting her leave so easily, I'm afraid he thinks she will definitely come back."
"What?"
Gilles stared in astonishment:
"She still has to go back to that ghost place?"
"I thought you would be more surprised that it was the Thirteen-Ring... I don't know exactly what happened, and I'm not a diviner. But this possibility is very high. Since you are willing to let her follow you, maybe you will also be involved. I want to warn you in advance, this matter involves a wide range, you'd better be careful."
The man didn't know what to say:
"Then what should I do?"
"Are you willing to let her leave? I can let her continue to walk. After all, that is also the place she should go to."
Gilles looked at the girl's soul who was grabbing his arm and swinging, and shook his head at Xia De:
"I must let her fully recover her humanity and sanity before sending her away. I don't have the idea of keeping her forever, but that's not now. Moreover, I have a hunch that her father will not let her go so easily."
Xia De shook his head and didn't say much:
"If there is anything in the future, don't find me through Professor Manning, that will implicate the professor. If there is something, hold a red rose and go to the fountain statue in St. Deran Square in the core area of the city at 6:30 in the morning or 6:30 in the evening. If my people see you, they will notify me."
"Okay, sir, please allow me to express my gratitude again."
Xia De got up, but warned him while holding the back of the chair before leaving:
"Also, Delarion has a very sound legal system. Although she is already dead, her age is still outside the scope allowed by law."
Drout Gilles' face flushed red, and he wanted to explain to Xia De, but Xia De had already turned and left.
Although it is very easy to find a carriage near Anthem Square, because of the distance between the North City and the Central City, when Xia De got off the carriage at St. Deran Square, the gas lamps surrounding the square had already flickered with reassuring warm yellow light.
When preparing to take out the key, Xia De also saw the workers hired by the City Hall setting up ladders under the gas street lamp on the left side of his window, and then climbing up the ladder to wipe the glass lampshade of the gas lamp.
Gas lamps are not electric lamps, so wiping during operation is no problem. But this is still very dangerous. Xia De stood there and watched for a while, not knowing what reason to use to remind him.
When he returned home, Luweiya had indeed arrived and was still busy on the third floor. As the night of the lunar eclipse on the 30th of the Sowing Moon next week approached, Luweiya's work enthusiasm became more and more high.
"Don't call me for dinner, just bring me a portion when you and Mia go to eat!"
The voice of the purple-eyed girl came from a higher floor when Xia De was holding Mia, who welcomed him, upstairs.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine, keep it simple."
Xia De could imagine Luweiya speaking hurriedly while lowering her head to make records at the table.
Xia De now has to go to the Green Lake Hotel to take the four blood samples, so eating can be postponed. But Little Mia obviously misunderstood Xia De, thinking that he went out again at this time because he wanted to go out to eat without taking it, so it meowed meow meow~ and followed him to the basement, and Xia De had to turn it into a toy and take it to Green Lake.
When coming out of the back door of the hotel, the sky outside was completely dark. Although there was water everywhere in the trash alley, at least it was no longer raining.
The boy living in the trash can had also returned to his residence. When Xia De knocked open the trash can lid and the boy appeared with his thin little dog, Little Mia, who had been turned back, meowed ignorantly, and was suppressed by Xia De's hand.
"Sir, good evening."
Even though he had seen Xia De appear here many times, the boy was still a bit timid. Xia De smiled at him and took out bread and handed it to him:
"I haven't seen you these days. When it rains, where do you hide?"
"There are many bridges on the Duin River, and you can hide from the rain under the bridge. Some old homeless people will burn fire, give them some things, and I can go over to roast fire."
This answer was not unexpected, Xia De nodded:
"Be careful recently... Have the homeless people you know disappeared recently?"
He thought of the corpses that were made into water ghosts that he saw at the various strongholds of "Rotten-Eye Barry".
"Yes, but homeless people will disappear one day, just like the sun will always rise, this is normal."
The boy said, then waved to Xia De carefully, and shrank back into the trash can with the little dog.
Speaking of which, although Xia De rented a room in the Green Lake Hotel as his temporary communication address, in fact, he never stayed here, and didn't even open the room many times.
If it weren't for the room number on the key, he would even have to ask "She" for the specific location of the room. And after opening the room on the third floor, Xia De unexpectedly found that the gas lamp in the room was actually on.
"Did the maid who cleaned the room come? But didn't I say that there is no need to clean the room?"
He thought in surprise, and vigilance had already risen in his heart. Moonlight appeared faintly in his hand, and he continued to enter the room, only to see the familiar witch with brown shawl hair sitting in the chair by the desk reading a book. The witch detection badge did not react for the time being, proving that it was Megan, not Audrey:
"Megan, good evening."
"Good evening, I was just thinking, what time will you come over."
The witch with exquisite makeup stood up, and Xia De also saw four slender test tubes containing blood on the test tube rack on the desk. Each test tube had a label to help Xia De analyze and judge the source of the blood.
"Did you bring your cat again?"
She asked with a smile, and then explained:
"I asked the landlady, Ms. Helena Green, for the key. There are many people downstairs at dinner time, and I don't want to wait for you there... Do I need to apologize to you for breaking into the place where you live without authorization?"
She asked tentatively, and Xia De shook his head:
"No need to apologize, and you know I don't live here."
This room is the best type of room in the Green Lake Hotel. In addition to the living room at the entrance, there are bedrooms and bathrooms. Even compared to hotels in the entire Green Lake City, it is difficult to find a better room than this. In addition to the desk, there is a sofa set in the living room. Megan probably asked someone to send tea and fresh fruit, so the coffee table is not empty.
Seeing that the cat was "coveting" the fruit plate on the coffee table, Xia De sat on the sofa and cut the apple into small pieces by hand. Seeing that Xia De didn't intend to leave immediately, Megan sat opposite him:
"It probably still won't be possible to go to the island tomorrow. The church briefly blocked the Green Lake waters, and even the cargo ships coming and going were affected. Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it will really be next week."
"Then I will come again on Sunday. If Sunday doesn't work, then next week, there will always be a chance."
Xia De said while touching his pocket:
"Speaking of that island, do you know what this is?"
Saying this, he took out the white crystal key he got from Drout Gilles this afternoon. After the witch took the key, she immediately showed a surprised expression:
"The third key! Where did you get this?"
"Drout Gilles, the owner of the fountain pen, a low-ring sorcerer who led grave robbers to land on the island two years ago."
He didn't say that Drout Gilles is now in Tobesk City, but he told all the other experiences this afternoon, which naturally included the soul of the second generation eldest daughter, Last Edwards, who died young.
Megan and Audrey are descendants of the fifth generation, so the eldest daughter of the second generation who died young is their... grandfather's aunt, the outlander couldn't think of a good title for a while. In short, Megan's relationship with Last Edwards is even further than Leixia and Miss Galina's relationship.
The witch listened very seriously. After Xia De finished speaking, what she cared about most was not to retaliate against the other party for digging her ancestor's grave, but another thing:
"You said, there is an evil demon left by the Third Era on the island?!" ===== CHAPTER 1656 =====
