Chapter 1669: Love God
Thus, this Thursday passed in quite a peaceful time. The only thing worth mentioning before evening came was that someone visited to entrust Xia De to find a lost pet cat. This was also Xia De's most skilled entrustment task, which was solved by the way when he took Mia out for dinner at noon.
Since the beginning of this year, the entrustment tasks he encountered were pitifully few. Now that he thought about it, it was probably related to Dorothy's excessive boasting about him in the book. After all, the fees of a famous detective were also very expensive.
After Luvia got off work at the Fortune Teller Association, she came to Xia De's place like the previous few days to continue her stargazing work. She saved time, so Xia De packed food from outside, brought it back to eat with Luvia, and naturally chatted about Xia De's time travel experience this morning during the meal:
"I found that the witches of the Fifth Era were very active, completely different from those we know."
Luvia expressed her opinion, and seeing Xia De, who was feeding the cat opposite the dining table, looking at herself with strange eyes, she said with a smile again:
"As long as you have the ability to let them cross time to come here, I absolutely won't mind if there are a few more demigod-level witches in the family, or rather, I would be very happy to see this kind of thing."
So Xia De thought that Luvia definitely had a psychological illness.
And the notification that Miss Dannister allowed to meet also came after dinner. Xia De tidied up, and at eight o'clock that night, he appeared again in the open space seat under the astrolabe of the St. Byrons Library.
Opposite him, across the coffee table, Miss Danister and Miss Aisberge were both sitting on soft sofas. After Xia De greeted the two thirteen-ringed female sorcerers, he went straight to the topic:
"Miss Eisberg, I think I have obtained the key to open that sealed object."
"Then take it out and let's see."
The card "Traveler under the Moon" was sent to St. Byrons through the pages of the poem manuscript. Although this card was a god-made object, in fact, except for being not easy to damage, it was also an ordinary item, otherwise it would be impossible to be brought to the current time.
Miss Dannister and Miss Eisberg checked the card, and both had guesses about the content of the card face, but neither asked Xia De about the origin of this card. Just like Xia De's guess, Miss Dannister again allowed her student to have his own secrets.
As for the treasure belonging to the 【Winter Carol Group】, it was a piece of ice in the style of a book. The ice block was not completely transparent, so just as he said in the morning, one could only vaguely see that a card was sealed inside.
"Since you said the key is this, let's try to open it and see."
Miss Dannister showed considerable interest. It could be seen that she had a good relationship with "Winter Singer" Elsa Eisberg, so the latter didn't mind her being here either.
Thus, the female sorcerer took Xia De's card and placed it on that huge block of ice. As the card touched the ice surface, everyone heard the clear sound of the ice block shattering. Thus, the sealed object that had circulated in the 【Winter Choir】 for a thousand years was easily opened just like that.
Miss Dannister moved her fingers a few times, and the shattered ancient ice flew to the side to reassemble into its original appearance; these ice blocks themselves had research value. And Miss Eisberg picked up Xia De's 【Traveler under the Moon】 and the card sealed in the ice respectively.
That was, of course, not 【Vientiane Impermanence · Space】. Before the adventure of the time key ended, the ancient witch Miss Andriana lost its ownership, so Xia De was very certain that even if she and Chloe went to look for it later, they would definitely not be able to find it.
Therefore, Xia De, who had psychological preparation, was not disappointed at all at this moment, but curious about what they left for him:
"Hmm? Not a card?"
What was sealed inside was indeed not a card; it was a shiny golden metal piece. One side was completely smooth with nothing, and the other side had a few lines of ancient text with very simple grammar.
Miss Dannister read them out:
"Love, the fusion of souls; Sex, the collision of bodies; Romance, the connection of spirits; Love, the promise of two people becoming one."
She looked at the content on it suspiciously, and after thinking carefully, she couldn't think of what this was:
"I thought what the ancient witches passed down to people now would be more important information, such as the secrets of the era... what is this? Is it the content of the Pink Book?"
"It shouldn't be the content of the Pink Book."
Xia De said very affirmatively. Seeing that both female sorcerers looked at him in surprise, he added:
"I borrowed it for reference when writing my course paper."
So Miss Dannister gave him an ambiguous smile.
Not only Miss Dannister, but Miss Eisberg and Xia De also couldn't figure out what this was. Xia De only guessed that Chloe would try to leave him something, but the recognizability of this information was far lower than the power left by Miss Feilian in his dreams, and the gift left by Fiona in the mural.
As for how he could confirm that this was left by Chloe, besides because of the special way of opening it, it was also because a cat was carved in the corner besides the text on the metal surface.
"Xia De, what is this? Do you have any clues about this?"
So Miss Dannister asked Xia De, but Xia De really didn't know.
Subsequently, the thirteen-ringed female sorcerers conducted a more careful inspection of it, and the conclusion reached was that although the metal had an elemental reaction, that was only to allow the card to remain undamaged for a long time. And the material of the metal itself was an adamantine alloy; because it was mixed with other metals of unknown composition, the value of the material itself was not very high.
Xia De thought there would be no clues from this, but fortunately, the librarian lady was indeed knowledgeable. After trying to look up a few books, she really found the clue:
"It's really interesting, Elsa, Xia De, guess what I found? This passage actually comes from a religious classic of an ancient god cult. However, the ancient god has gone far, and his believers have long since disappeared, so I didn't think of this at the first time."
"Which great
Miss Aisberge asked. Although she used the power of cold ice, like the Ice Witch Chloe, her personality was not cold. On the contrary, Sister Dafilun, who guarded the flame, was the cold type.
"The God of Love and Emotion was directly called the 'God of Love' or the 'Lock of Hearts' in the Fifth Era, and is the guardian of loyal and sincere love and marriage. This god left in the Fifth Era, and there is very little data on the sect formed by His believers. However, when people in the Sixth Era pray for love now, if they try to find some prayers and prayer rituals related to this, most of them are related to this Great One."
Miss Danister said, but still did not understand what the significance of this metal piece was.
Xia De tried to ask:
"Miss Danister, is it really impossible to find even a single believer of this Great One now?"
"Unfortunately, at least I have never heard of it. But I can try to look for them; after all, it is related to an ancient witch, maybe there will be valuable discoveries in the end?"
As for the metal piece itself, because it was Xia De who opened the seal with the key, Ms. Aisberge gifted it to Xia De according to the sect's records of this object. It was just that Xia De still believed that the metal piece itself was not important, just as 【St. Byrons' Dream】 and that passage connecting Randall Valley-St. Byrons were not important; what was important was the things or information contained within.
And fortunately, Xia De knew how to find the believers of the God of Love.
After dealing with the matter of the metal piece, Miss Aisberge left temporarily, leaving Xia De and Miss Danister to continue their conversation.
Xia De had not reported the progress of the investigation in the Green Lake area for more than a week, so he was not surprised at all by Miss Danister's first question.
"Xia De, have you heard the news about the suspected appearance of a God-Caller on Green Lake on Monday night?"
"Yes, of course, my information is very well-informed. I didn't expect that there would be another island on the back of the normal island. Next, I will find a way to find a way to land on the island."
Xia De nodded. The red-haired female sorcerer gave him a meaningful look, still not delving into it as usual:
"Then, have you found all the descendants of the Edwards family?"
"Yes, there are a total of eight surviving descendants of the fifth and sixth generations. Except for the one-eyed twin brothers of the Mirror Society, I have confirmed the others; none of them recognize that sun, moon, and star pattern. In fact, I think the one-eyed pair of brothers probably don't recognize it either. The four Edwards of the fourth generation who left the central island of Green Lake were all tight-lipped about the island and their own family, so the fifth and sixth generation Edwards basically know nothing."
"So, the investigation needs to extend to the earlier Edwards?"
"Yes, the four people of the fourth generation, I think they are probably all dead. As for the first three generations, let's not discuss the thirteen-ringed diviner of the first generation for now."
"How do you know Laplace Klein Howard is thirteen-ringed?"
Miss Danister asked suddenly. Last time, Xia De only said that he had discovered that the first-generation lord of the Edwards family was once a member of the Diviner Society.
Xia De blinked:
"Miss Luvia Anate of our group said so. This matter is about to spread like crazy. The Diviner Society has clearly made a decision to catch that traitor."
"Very reasonable, please continue."
"Among the six people of the first three generations, that Klein Edwards is definitely alive. As for the remaining five, I have confirmed that the eldest daughter of the second generation who died young, Last Edwards, is indeed dead."
He even saw the soul:
"You are not in Green Lake, I certainly cannot find Klein Edwards to ask about the pattern by myself. Therefore, my current investigation focus is on two things. First, how to land on the other island; second, determine who among the first three generations of Edwards is still alive."
