Miss Danister nodded; she felt Xia De's arrangement was very reasonable:

"You must be careful when acting in Green Lake recently; the appearance of the evil god's believers shows that this matter involves a wider scope. It is impossible for a thirteen-ringed diviner who has been lurking for more than two hundred years to have no preparations."

Xia De even knew that at least one evil spirit demon was helping that ancestor of the Edwards, but he could not find a suitable opportunity to say it for the time being. Moreover, he didn't want to say it; that was the prey reserved by Doctor Shi Nai De.

"When you go to Green Lake, you must bring the red-covered book I gave you. In this way, even if the power of that book cannot make you completely safe, at least I can know where you encountered danger."

She was silent for a moment, looking at Xia De's projection:

"Still the same sentence, I have already lost my teacher, and I don't want to lose my student because of looking for my teacher. Safety first, Xia De, as long as you are still alive, no matter where you encounter danger, I can find you."

Miss Danister's words were somewhat heavy, but her worry was also reasonable.

Xia De nodded to show he understood, so the librarian lady said again:

"In addition, you should have learned from Luvia Anate that next Wednesday, the last day of the month, is the night of the lunar eclipse. You must be careful that night; it is best to stay at home and not go out. The impact of the lunar eclipse on Ringed Shushi who are good at moon power, especially low-ring and mid-ring sorcerers, is relatively large, and your investigation is not in a hurry for that night."

"I understand, I was still thinking of going to learn 【Black Moon Rune】 that night."

Xia De said with a smile, and then summoned his life ring:

"I recently got another spirit rune, so the progress of the sixth ring can be considered more than half."

"I wouldn't be surprised even if you suddenly said you were already seventh-ringed."

Miss Danister said with a smile, looking at Xia De's life ring, always feeling that it was somewhat different from the life rings of ordinary students. But apart from this life ring being slightly larger, representing his extremely high soul strength, there were no other abnormalities:

"The church and the Diviner Society have already launched actions in Green Lake, and you must also avoid them during the investigation. Besides hiding your identity, it is also to avoid being treated as a Chosen of Space. As for the three major academies, it will probably take another ten days before someone leads a team to the local area. Now everyone else is guarding against us, and I don't know what they are guarding against."

She leaned back slightly on the sofa, rarely showing a look of fatigue:

"Xia De, what do you think the God-Caller is doing now? Will he explore new clues about the Chosen, or has he found new enemies? On Monday, he suspectedly used the power of an evil god. If it weren't for the oracle given by the True God-Sun and Earth God after the Battle of Randall Valley, telling believers not to care about the God-Caller, the church might have treated him as a dangerous person this time."

This question was really not easy to answer. Xia De thought for a while:

"It's getting late, I think the God-Caller should be at home or in the hotel, preparing to rest after drinking hot milk."

Miss Danister smiled:

"Let's not talk about this. How are your studies recently? Next month, I plan to combine with the Astronomy Academy to open a new elective course to explore the connection between astrology and moon strange arts. Do you have time?"

Subsequently, there was a discussion about Xia De's study plan for the second half of the spring semester.

By the time Xia De stood up from the chair of the projection ritual, it was already 9:30 that night. He stretched, glanced at the cat lying on the sofa pretending to doze, and then walked toward the stairs to the third floor:

"Luvia, I want you to use a coin to divine something for me."

"You finished talking with Miss Danister? Is it a new clue? What do you want to divine? Now there are only two Yin Soul Iron Coins left, I think it must be a very important matter, right?"

Luvia, who was leaning over to look at the starry sky in front of the telescope, asked without looking back.

"I'm not sure if it's important, but it's definitely not a waste. I want to know how to find the believers of the God of Love most conveniently."

"God of Love?"

This time Luvia finally turned around, her purple eyes looking at Xia De curiously:

"If I remember correctly, this Great One governs loyal love and protects those marriages worthy of blessing."

She asked Xia De teasingly:

"Going to explore the believers of this god, aren't you afraid?"

"Um..."

Seeing Xia De speechless for a moment, the smile on Luvia's face became even brighter:

"Alright, alright, I'm joking with you. But I need to rest for a while before divining. Working for a day and still having to draw star charts, this kind of life is really hard."

Saying it was a rest, it was actually just returning to the second floor with Xia De to have a cup of tea. Before taking out the 【Yin Soul Iron Coin】, she also asked Xia De if he had any specific requirements. Xia De thought for a while while holding the soft cat:

"Find the believer of the God of Love who is closest to me, most friendly to me, and has a lot of religious knowledge, who happens to be able to answer my questions... It's best if they are a Ringed Shushi, and know a lot about ancient things, and it's best if they can answer all my questions at once, and even know what I want to ask as soon as they see me."

"I need to remind you: I can only divine, not grant wishes."

Luvia warned.

"Then just make it most convenient for me to find them. Finding one person, and then going to find another person will be very convenient."

"Okay, this is very simple."

Luvia closed her eyes and threw the coin. The rotating coin began to fall when it rose to the highest position and scattered into fly ash in the air.

This meant the divination went smoothly.

She opened her eyes:

"I really didn't expect that, strictly speaking, the believers of that God of Love did not perish; they just integrated into other Ringed Shushi organizations."

Xia De expressed understanding:

"This is very common, right? Hillis's 【Order of the Forgotten】, didn't it also integrate into the followers of the Great Witch of the 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】? So, which Ringed Shushi group are the believers of the God of Love in now?"

He asked curiously.

"You should have heard of it—the Rose Cross Society."

Luvia answered. Xia De thought for a while, and then nodded knowingly.

The 【Rose Cross Society】 is a large Ringed Shushi group currently active in the Willendale area of the Carsonrick Kingdom. Of course, this "large" is actually not particularly large, just relative to other small groups.

Xia De's friend, the vampire Mr. Bernhard, is a member of the 【Rose Cross Society】, but he is only affiliated there. According to Mr. Bernhard, there are many vampire members in the 【Rose Cross Society】, which is why he joined.

Of course, the 【Rose Cross Society】 is not a pure vampire group, let alone a church group gathered because of faith in a common old god. Their predecessor was the 【Rose Cross Knights】 of the old era. The old era and the new era hold very similar concepts, that is, through alchemy, to break through the limitations of whispering elements and artificially manufacture items containing whispering elements.

This is of course very difficult, and even challenging the four-element theory, which is one of the foundations of the Ringed Shushi system. Therefore, artificially manufacturing items containing whispering elements is only the ultimate goal of the 【Rose Cross Society】. As a Ringed Shushi group in the royal capital of Willendale, they show more enthusiasm for the research of alchemy, healing, astrology, and other arts, and are happy to explore the influence of "emotion" on supernatural abilities.

Therefore, among the big figures in Willendale who know about the existence of the supernatural, the 【Rose Cross Society】 also has a certain influence. However, it is worth mentioning that although the 【Rose Cross Society】 is keen on the research of "emotion" and "desire," it has strict requirements for core members to "restrain desire."

If you see flyers promoting low desire and taking care of the body in some public places in the Willendale area, most of them are distributed by the 【Rose Cross Society】.

"If I remember correctly, this organization also belongs to a scholarly group. Although it is also an unrecognized Ringed Shushi organization, the church has never specifically hunted them down. They maintain a subtle balance with the church—a balance unilaterally maintained by the church."

Xia De recalled, and then added:

"Margaret and Miss Sylvia seem to have said that the 【Rose Cross Society】 being able to operate in the Willendale area is also related to the Anjou royal family. The royal family did not support them, just provided some convenience."

"This is normal. Although the royal family knows that the True God Church is powerful, they must also have their own little tricks. As long as they don't go too far, the church will turn a blind eye. Speaking of which, our Delarion Cavendish royal family looks very 'obedient,' but in fact, isn't there a Great Witch? Compared to this, the Cavendish family is clearly doing more excessive things than the Anjou family."

Luvia said with a smile.

Xia De nodded:

"Then I will find a way to go to Willendale. No, let Margaret help me inquire about the news first. No, that won't work either; I don't know if she will participate in the negotiations in the Green Lake area. If she also participates, she might have already set off now."

In the last letter, Margaret said her father had not yet made a decision. Because the Anjou royal family has few descendants, they will send at least one royal family member to Green Lake no matter what.

Luvia stopped the very proactive Xia De:

"Wait a minute, you don't need to go to Willendale. There are members of the 【Rose Cross Society】 in the Green Lake area, and they are relatively core members. You can find them very easily, or rather, you actually know them. Think carefully, Xia De, who are the Ringed Shushi you know who are relatively strong but whose specific background you don't know?"

Xia De understood now, and he asked Luvia in surprise:

"Wait, you mean the Folen brothers?"

The purple-eyed girl smiled and nodded:

"It's them. Looking at it this way, your past adventures have once again connected with the present time."

As she spoke, she looked at the last 【Yin Soul Iron Coin】 in her hand:

"Xia De, while there is still time, do you need to perform the next divination? For example, how to enter the other island, or the matter of human body alchemy you mentioned?"

Xia De shook his head:

"Wait a while, wait until Megan and I land on the island for the third time before making plans. This time, that thirteen-ringed diviner has been laying out for more than two hundred years, so we must be cautious in everything we do. Keeping the last one can also play a role at a critical moment."

Although he believed that even if the other party had lived for more than two hundred years, they would definitely not be as powerful as long-haired Luvia, it was a pity that long-haired Luvia could not take the initiative to act now.
