Chapter 1656: Ice and Snow Visitor

Megan stood up:

"How is it possible? There is actually... on the island"

Xia De signaled her not to be so nervous:

"Oh, please relax. I just said it's highly likely, and it should be on the 'other island', otherwise my eyes would have discovered it long ago. And I have to correct a common-sense mistake of yours. Evil demons have actually existed since the oldest era, but they only formed disasters in the Third Era. Of course, the one we are facing shouldn't be that ancient."

"Of course I know. But this is troublesome. Do you understand what demons mean? Even if I recover to the Eleventh Ring, I may not be able to handle this matter."

"Please listen to me."

Xia De comforted her, and at the same time did not forget to feed the very well-behaved cat on his lap with the cut apple:

"Of course I know what those ancient evil demons mean. In fact, I have encountered them frequently in the past six months. Look at this."

He threw the ring he brought from the basement to Megan. After the latter took it, she found that the ring was iron-black, and the ring face was a more deep and simple iron-black material. The ring face was rectangular, with slightly convex edges and concave inside, but the pattern inside the rectangle was convex.

The witch frowned and looked at the pattern, and soon found the meaning of the pattern from her memory:

"Keeper-level relic - 【Demon Hunting Seal】?"

Xia De has a total of two such seals. The first one came from exploring the case left by Detective Sparrow - finding a doctor to treat eye diseases, and the second one came from the harvest at the bottom of the lake two months ago when looking for the "Stone Mirror Demon - Goth" in Randall Valley. The latter one is now in Yin Luna's hands, and Xia De's one is still the first one he got.

"Yes, this seal has been in my hands for almost a year. In this year, I have encountered all kinds of demons. Speaking of which, I am actually looking for demons on purpose. I am not an ancient demon hunter, but there is a professional demon hunting expert beside me."

Xia De was quite relieved about this:

"You don't have to worry about the demon. I'll handle it. I just need to find clues to determine who the demon suspected of cooperating with your ancestors on the island is, and my friend can come to the local area to solve the trouble."

"You, you are becoming more and more mysterious."

She said, and handed the ring back to Xia De:

"You found this key, do I need to give you any reward?"

She mentioned the key again. Xia De thought for a while. He was going to Midhillburg to solve the blood test in a while, so he had to eat quickly:

"How about treating me to dinner? Look at this cat, if you don't eat again, it will bite me."

"Meow~"

"And I have to pack a portion. A friend is doing stargazing on my side. Next Wednesday is the night of the lunar eclipse. She wants to record the recent star map. My room is quite big, and it is convenient to install stargazing equipment."

Megan nodded, and showed a teasing expression again:

"Is it the female diviner in the Diviner Association you mentioned who provided you with information?"

"Yes."

The witch didn't say anything more, but thought that after the Green Lake area incident was over, maybe she could meet other girls around this man. She was very confident in her own means.

This meal was still on that cruise ship, but the rain stopped and the night sky was clear, so this time they could eat while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Duin River on the deck.

After dinner, Megan did not forget to prepare packed meals for Xia De with a food box. I don't know what kind of mentality she had. Although Xia De said it was just for one person to eat, she finally added those foods to Xia De, which was enough for Xia De's consumption for a whole day.

Besides, before the two parted, the witch's follower sent new news, which was related to the 【Ring of Moods】. So Megan did not forget to remind Xia De to come again on Saturday morning. That ring had been confirmed to be available.

Nothing interesting happened that night. After returning home and reminding Luweiya to eat dinner, Xia De went to Midhillburg to identify the blood.

The result was about the same as Xia De thought. Although the proportions of the dominant bloodlines of the four people were different, the components of the four blood samples were basically the same as the bloodlines of Megan and Audrey's bodies, and everyone possessed a part of "unknown" bloodline components.

In other words, Alphonse Edwards, the fourth generation suspected of being an adopted child, was also a pure Edwards bloodline. The traces of human body alchemy had long been deeply imprinted in the family's bloodline.

Xia De did not rush to tell Megan about this on Thursday. When he woke up early on Thursday morning, he was actually thinking about using that Time Key to finish the last part of the "Seven-Day Journey". Compared to the short rest opportunity attached to the Time Key, getting "Enhanced Spatial Perception" in advance might be more useful.

When waking up the purple-eyed girl who didn't want to get up on the bed for breakfast, the Time Key covered with fine cracks was placed on the dining table. Xia De planned to move after eating. But before he set off, unexpected guests visited here.

It was 7:30 in the morning. When the bell downstairs rang, Xia De was very surprised who would visit at this time. It is possible that the girls who come at this time have keys here.

Went downstairs and opened the door, seeing a man and a woman standing outside the door. The man looked old, in his fifties; the woman was slightly younger, but at least thirty-five or older.

The two were dressed like people from the north of Delarion, and they were all dusty, and it was impossible to see what kind of identity they had. However, both were ring-sorcerers, and both were around the Sixth Ring.

Xia De looked at the visitors hesitantly:

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

"Are you Mr. Xia De Su Lun Hamilton?"

The old gentleman asked, and Xia De nodded:

"Yes, welcome to Hamilton Detective Agency. Hmm... are you clients?"

He knew it was impossible.

"No, we are not clients."

The woman explained, lowering her voice:

"Ms. Elsa Eisberg asked us to come. She said you have something to find us."

Xia De understood this,

"Elsa Eisberg" is the name of the Thirteen-Ring sorcerer "Winter Singer" of the 【Winter Anthem Troupe】. After the group activity ended last Friday morning, she asked Xia De what he was looking for. At that time, Xia De did not say anything about 【Genesis · Space】, and Ms. Eisberg was also in a hurry to take away the black metal coffin, so she said she would arrange for someone to find Xia De later.

After an interval of nearly a week, they finally came.

"Welcome, please come in. I didn't expect you to come in the morning. Please go upstairs, we can sit down and talk."

Luweiya upstairs had heard the conversation in the hall below, so she went to the kitchen to prepare hot tea when the three went upstairs. The two strangers who came to visit didn't understand Xia De's living situation, so they didn't feel surprised that there were other people in his house early in the morning.

After sitting down separately, the two introduced themselves. The old gentleman was named Will Hammer, and the woman was named Sonia Feller. Both were priests of the troupe, that is, loyal believers who still believed in 【Winter Maiden】 in the era when the Old Gods had gone far away.

"Actually, I didn't have any major things to find you through Ms. Dannister."

Xia De held a teacup and touched the cat on his lap, while Luweiya sat beside him:

"Some time ago, I had a strange dream. The lady beside me is a diviner in the same group as me. After interpreting the dream for me, she believed that the dream was a precognitive dream. The dream was telling me that there is something related to cards in the extreme north that should belong to me, and that thing is in the winter snowflakes."

Although this statement is very absurd, Xia De cannot say that the witch of the Fifth Era might have left him a gift:

"I don't know if my understanding is correct—that item is in the hands of the believers of the Winter God. After all, it is just a vague precognitive dream, and whether the interpretation method is correct or not is also unknown, so I want to ask you if there are any items related to cards in the troupe that are waiting for someone to come and find them?"

Xia De asked tentatively, and Mr. Hammer and Ms. Feller looked at each other:

"Can you give us a water basin? We need to contact the troupe."

Before they came to see Xia De, they must have planned to contact the troupe at any time, so it was very smooth to freeze the water in the water basin and use alchemical items to communicate.

The conclusion was reached quickly, so smooth that Xia De couldn't believe it:

"Yes, there is indeed an item in the troupe that meets the conditions. The item comes from the Fifth Era and is quite valuable."

Xia De suppressed his inner joy:

"Although it may be too much to say so, how can I transfer that item to me? I can take out a large sum of money, or what do you want me to do for you?"

He had already started to calculate his property, but to buy a 【Genesis】 series Rhode card, his money was not enough.

"Ms. Eisberg said she wants to communicate with you personally."

Old Mr. Hammer said:

"That lady came by the method of ice and snow avatar, is it convenient to make large ice cubes in your house?"

"Ice and snow avatar? I'll do it."

Similar power appeared in 【Witch Echo · Chloe】, so Xia De also knew it very well. He snapped his fingers, and a huge snowball fell from the sky and landed on the side of the sofa.

Luweiya knew Xia De had this move, so she was not surprised, and Mia knew this was snow, not sugar, so she was not interested at all. On the contrary, the two believers of the Winter God were quite surprised, because this looked like their divine art.

After a simple arrangement, the Thirteen-Ring sorcerer who met the five members of the group last Friday morning walked out of that huge snowball. Her body looked completely real, not made of white snow. ===== CHAPTER 1657 =====
