Chapter 1737

~11 min read 2,024 words

Nicholas Edwards looked at this beautiful lady quite unexpectedly:

"Yes, you are right. The ancestor indeed wants to diversify family members, living people, dead people, souls, evil objects, and even demons, etc., etc. He is planning some kind of large-scale ritual. He thinks he is saving this world. I don't know his true intention, but he once mentioned a very powerful ritual name—"

He gnawed another bite of the food he was holding before saying the name:

"Edwards Ascension Technique."

"He wants to become a god?"

Xia De was even more surprised, because in the Sixth Era now, this is absolutely impossible to achieve. He has come into contact with divinity and knows what kind of power that is. Except for him, a special outsider, it is impossible for a second person to become a god in the Sixth Era. This is not arrogance, he is very sure of this point.

"Not to become a god, but to save the world."

The corpse ghost shook his head:

"I don't know too much content, I just know these from the ancestor's words. You may think the ancestor is a lunatic, but in my opinion, he is a gentle and knowledgeable person, like a university professor."

"Are you scared by him?"

"No, at least to us family members, he is really good. However, I didn't accept the invitation to go to the island, so I don't know what other family members are around him... Oh, I also know one thing. Through the books the ancestor left for me to study, I think the ancestor seems to want to imitate some kind of ritual. He wants to complete that large-scale ritual in an alternative way and achieve his goal by borrowing the false to cultivate the true. I don't know much, but there is one more important clue."

"What condition?"

Xia De asked.

"Can you tell me about the current situation of Soren and Helena?"

The corpse ghost asked while holding the roast chicken, with sadness in his words. Xia De and Miss Sylvia looked at each other and understood that this was also a poor man.

Nicholas Green was just an ordinary person before he died, and only came into contact with the supernatural world after he died. Relying on the research materials provided by the Edwards ancestor, the outstanding talent given by the bloodline, and the advantages of the undead race, he has become an outstanding occult scholar through self-study for more than twenty years. In addition to the talent of space movement, he even has the ring warlock level of the fifth ring, and is a genuine and sophisticated undead ring warlock.

Of course, Mr. Green's high achievements are inseparable from the help of his thirteen-ring ancestor.

Xia De invited him to sit at the table together, and then told about the current situation of the Green Lake Hotel and the Green siblings. Old Mr. Green listened silently, gnawing a few more bites of roast chicken from time to time. By the time Xia De finished speaking, he had almost finished eating.

"They are living well, and they are all married, this is good. Ugh~"

After a soft sigh, he made a vomiting action. Just when Xia De thought that the corpse ghost could also have a bad stomach, a small key, wrapped in the corrosive viscous gastric juice of the corpse ghost, appeared in his hand.

Nicholas Green put the key on the metal experimental table. The key was the same size and shape as the four keys obtained by Megan and Audrey so far, except that the decorative gemstone on the handle of this key was a green cat's eye stone.

"This is the ultimate answer to the puzzle in the book left by the ancestor. I spent more than ten years collecting all the materials and synthesized this key."

He did not give the key to Xia De:

"This represents some kind of qualification, I will keep it in my own hands. But if I am not mistaken, this key should have a major relationship with the ancestor's 【Edwards Ascension Technique】. That ritual can benefit more than one person, and only those who master the key are qualified to transform with the help of the ancestor. I am sure that there is definitely more than one such key, and I am also sure that you must have seen similar things."

Xia De nodded, he almost had the answer at this time:

"Thank you for your help. So, do you really intend to do nothing before the Edwards family reunites? Do you really think your ancestor is very good to you, instead of wanting to use you to climb his own ladder?"

The corpse ghost nodded silently, and then suddenly said:

"Don't tell Soren and Helena about my situation, just say my bones have disappeared... I have become like this, and I have no way to see them. Let them live for more than twenty years without knowing anything and without worries, which can be considered the only thing I, the father, can do after death."

"If your ancestor wants to be unfavorable to your two children, will you do nothing?"

Miss Sylvia asked suddenly. She stood behind Xia De who was sitting, a little further away from the corpse ghost.

Mr. Nicholas Green remained silent, just swallowed the key again, and then sighed with his head down:

"If you need my help, come to me at any time, but please also help my children at the right time. I will not betray the ancestor, but I am willing to help both of you at the same time."

This is already a very good result.

Afterwards, Miss Sylvia arranged for someone to send the corpse ghost away. But to prevent him from knowing where this was, and to prevent him from being seen, the witch got a wooden box, put the corpse ghost in the box and transported it to the outskirts of the city. And the corpse ghost, who is very familiar with this area, will be able to return to the cemetery on the north bank by himself.

Xia De did not go to the door to see him off, after all, he could not be seen.

He waited in the laboratory. After the black-haired witch came back, the smiling lady opened her arms and gave him a big hug:

"Long time no see, Xia De."

"Long time no see, Miss Sylvia."

Xia De also said with a smile, gently sniffing the perfume on the witch's long black hair, and waited until she let go before saying:

"There are some things you probably don't know. Mr. Green just provided very important information. Megan once said that a blood-red door appeared in her dream, and there were thirteen keyholes on the door. Similar things also appeared in the memory of the eldest daughter of the Edwards family who died young."

Although the youngest Great Witch was greedy for the hug, she also realized what Xia De was saying:

"Thirteen? Diversity? Door... You mean..."

"Yes, I highly suspect that Laplace Klein Howard is imitating the "Whispering Poem" and the Chosen One ritual, forging thirteen keys with thirteen Chosen Ones to achieve miracles that cannot be achieved by ordinary means. Edwards Ascension Technique, what a powerful name. If he hadn't gone crazy and wanted to become a god, what did he want to do?"

Luweiya introduced the past of this diviner. While Laplace Klein Howard was still in the Prophet Association, he stole the tomb of the former president and stole the Vientiane Impermanence cards because he believed that the invention of "Rod cards" was related to the end of the world. And now his behavior has a connection with the Whispering Poem and the final "door".

Either he is completely crazy, or he really knows the truth of the world. Even Xia De, at this time, it is difficult to say clearly what is going on.

"There is no such professional diviner in the council. This matter still has to wait for the reaction of the Prophet Association."

Miss Sylvia said softly, her golden eyes looking at Xia De's face with a smile. She doesn't care about Edwards at all now, she cares more about the person in front of her:

"Haven't seen you for a few months, you haven't changed at all. I was worried that Miss Jia Lin Na didn't take good care of you. I was really worried about your serious illness some time ago."

"Hmm..."

Since parting in Randall Valley, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na has taken very good care of Xia De. Of course, Xia De also knows that he can't say this now.

"Will the diviners of the Prophet Association be the opponents of Laplace Klein Howard? Although the current president is also thirteen rings, Laplace Klein Howard has transformed himself, and he is likely no longer a human."

The witch smiled and shook her head, giving Xia De another hug:

"Don't worry about this. Do you know the reason for the initial establishment of the Prophet Association and the three major colleges?"

Xia De, like-minded companions gathered together on the road of progress, supporting each other and helping each other, which is the reason for the establishment of ring warlock groups that are not based on faith. Some people firmly believe that education and knowledge can change children's lives, and some people firmly believe that in the uncertain future, there must be the truth about the world.

We have never been alone in this world. The diviners who support each other have walked through the long and long years of many eras. And when these diviners cooperate with each other, except for God, they can almost know everything."

She gently left a kiss on Xia De's side face:

"Don't worry about the strength of the Prophet Association, you don't really think they are just card sellers who sell Rod cards, right?"

Xia De also laughed:

"That's true, the Prophet Association itself is the remnant of the Old God cult, almost passed down from the First Era, why would I worry about them?"

"Counting the time, there is still an hour, it's almost time for lunch."

The young witch's golden eyes blinked at Xia De:

"Do you want to stay for dinner? Since you are going to attend the banquet here tonight, don't leave. It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for so long, and I can chat with you about what happened recently, and the factory we invested in together."

Xia De invested 5000 pounds at the time. This looks like a lot, but it is actually a drop in the bucket for Miss Sylvia's business. It's just that the witch has always insisted that he provided the initial idea, so he is also one of the inventors of the product.

"The cat at home hasn't arranged lunch yet. I thought I could go home at noon today, so even the clothes for the banquet are still at home."

Miss Sylvia asked with a smile:

"Oh, I remember that cute cat, then how about bringing it to dinner together? I'll wait for you to come back."

Hearing others praise little Mia, Xia De was also very happy. He calculated the time:

"No problem, I will come back as soon as possible, I should be able to make it to lunch."

He said and took out the crystal shoes from his pocket, and then realized that Miss Sylvia had not seen his ability:

"This is a maze learned during the Battle of Randall Valley, which can directly let me go home."

He briefly introduced the role of throwing crystal shoes, and then in order to demonstrate, he threw the shoes forward, and then the whole person disappeared.

The witch blinked at the position where Xia De disappeared:

"Fairy tale maze, it's really powerful. I can understand his obsession with home, but the shoes just now... he actually carries the girl's crystal shoes with him?"

This is why Xia De does not easily use this strange technique in front of others.
