Chapter 1790

"So, the second candidates are Last Edwards and Durut Giles."

The cruise ship carried the ladies and Xia De toward the north shore of Green Lake. The church's team also arrived late again, "brushing past" the group.

"I'm afraid so."

Xia De nodded gently and asked the three witches on the deck:

"Rather than having Megan's ancestor merge the entire family to hold the Chosen One ritual, I am more inclined to let the two of them become the Chosen Ones... Luweiya thinks so too."

Hearing the name of that purple-eyed fortune teller, Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia both nodded subconsciously. In the Battle of Randall Valley, although Luweiya did not exert much combat power, everyone knew that the female fortune teller was the one who had been providing Xia De with information and direction all along. Facts also proved that her fortune-telling ability was only slightly inferior to the top few in this world.

Margaret, Hillis, and Tifa, of course, also knew Luweiya. Hearing Xia De say this, they knew that the matter had actually been decided. But only Megan and Audrey did not understand what this name represented. The physical Megan and Audrey, who was gradually changing from golden to translucent white, both curiously watched the changing expressions on their colleagues' faces:

"Luweiya? It sounds like a lady. I don't know if this is..."

Miss Bernice and Miss Sylvia looked at each other and both laughed, then looked at their common student. So Margaret, who also felt this matter was very interesting, spoke up:

"This young lady is a very capable fortune teller living in Tobesk, and her age is about the same as yours. She is the one who guided Megan to pursue the Chosen One, and also... the first girl to know Xia De."

The night was deep. After the cruise ship carried the group back to Audrey, Miss Sylvia opened a portal, taking Miss Xia De-Nisi, Hillis, and a group of leaders back to the city on the other side of the lake. Tifa took the maids back to see the Duchess. Megan had to return to the Audrey Hotel to meet the doctor, and Yalu and Xia De-Han arranged a carriage at the pier by the city canal to send him back.

The others also nodded in agreement, so Megan said again:

"I'm not sure. I only obtain the demon's power and cannot know their memories. But it should be very important. Demons actually don't like carrying relics with them."

While thinking about these things, Megan climbed the stairs. When passing the third floor, he also looked at the rooms of Xia De-Han Durut and Last Green Lake-zi. After knowing the importance of Last Green Lake-zi, whether to still let her and De-Hua-Zi Durut stay in this hotel became a very important question. However, this matter is better discussed with the witches tomorrow. The Audrey Hotel itself had rituals set up by Yalu and Giles to protect the Green siblings. Tomorrow, Sunday, the witches would solve the problem of the two's safety.

The remaining two types of relics, strictly speaking, are three items. Two of them are document-level 【Fanatic's Soul Coins】 with masked faces and the text "Faith, therefore valuable." This is a currency that can be traded with demons, but trading will lead to one's own fall. Megan also recognized the last one; it was the poet-level relic 【Universal Key】 that he once obtained from the 【God's Gift Box】. The key itself was as long as Megan's palm.

The doctor pointed to the bottle. Inside the bottle, colorful smoke swirled, and the blue "Genie" hidden inside could not be seen:

He seemed to have prepared the red wine long ago, never thinking that this demon-hunting operation would fail. Of course, facts proved that at least this time, the doctor's plan really didn't go wrong.

Megan's fingers traced the words on the surface of the key: 【The only lock that cannot be opened is the girls' heart lock】.

"I don't have that kind of talent."

Xia De stared at him, as if unable to immediately understand what he said. Because of this, until Megan entered the Audrey Hotel, he still found it hard to forget those two minutes when they stared at each other, as if the air were about to freeze.

The brown-haired witch broke free from Megan's embrace and looked at him in surprise. Xia De pursed his lips, deciding that since it was very awkward, it was better to just say it out loud:

Silently, not even a splash appeared. It was just that the water surface, which already had thousands of souls, seemed to have a few more unfamiliar figures. They walked toward the half-sunk dark moon. Megan watched this scene quietly from outside the crack, listening to some faint voices whispering thanks in his ears.

"Just now, you were really heavy-handed with your grandmother, Gluttony Xia De-Han-Zi."

The white cube that imprisoned countless souls was held in Megan's hand. Its mass was heavy, but it was also very light:

"Does he love his descendants, or does he not? The doctor answered, then asked another question: "Speaking of which, it's strange. I thought that when I destroyed it, the fortune teller you mentioned would step in to stop me. I even prepared to fight him to the death, but in the end, he didn't appear. Is this giving up on Bena?"

"This is the most important harvest of this time. The ability to seal the White Dragon shown to me came from this. Of course, I can only seal those who are weak and seriously injured; not everyone can be sealed."

"Even if we are family, I wouldn't... what did you say?"

He held the squinting cat, standing in the corridor looking at the half-round, cold silver moon, letting the moonlight illuminate his face, and did not leave for a long time.

"I am still digesting Bena's power. Advancing to the Ninth Ring will only be a matter of a month or two. Look at this."

"The demon remains you wanted. The remains this time are not as powerful as the stone mirror's remains, but they are equally dangerous. No matter what you plan to do with it, deal with it as soon as possible. It's a pity, although Bena is also a famous ancient demon, most of its property and collections are in an alien space that none of us know about, so there is not as much harvest as last time."

He pointed to "Profane—Labyrinth":

"Doctor, you acted very fast. When the white cube created by the illusion appeared in the air, I almost really thought that Bena had come to the real world."

Steam mist appeared behind the doctor, and then the first ring of his life ring emerged. The five spirit runes required for the first ring are currently only lacking 【Enlightenment】, but this should not be a difficult task for the doctor: he paused and added:

"The demon of the labyrinth itself does not have outstanding combat power. It probably didn't expect to run into you. You attracted the vast majority of its attention, which is why we were so smooth on our side."

In short, by the time Megan returned home, it was already ten o'clock that night. He walked down from the attic holding Mia and yawning, finding that there was no one else in the house. Luweiya had to pack her luggage for her business trip, and Princess Lei Qianya and Duo Luo Qian both knew that Xia De would return very late tonight, so they did not visit.

Saying this, he took out another white cube. The surface of this cube was not smooth at all; various twisted faces screaming constantly appeared on the three sides of the cube:

However, when saying goodbye to those two witches, Megan rarely took the initiative to hug her, and then whispered in the ear of Yalu, who was controlling the body:

"Thanks to it, it was its illusion."

"That is very reasonable, and if you encounter enemies that are not convenient to kill immediately in the future, Doctor, this new ability of yours will be very useful. However, I am looking forward to you obtaining the 'Space' spirit rune, Doctor."

"I don't know, how many stories are there here."

Carrying the cat, he climbed to the third floor, turned on the gas lamp in the corridor, and then opened the crack leading to true death at the location of the 【Soul Cemetery】.

He pointed to that bottle, and the bottle containing the smoke floated into the bedroom next door, leaving the space for conversation to the two.

The key obtained last time was consumed last autumn by Luweiya and Miss Jia Lin Na to save Megan and his group from death. At the same time, the 【Traveler's Travel Door】 was also consumed, thus leaving a door to the 【Soul Cemetery】 in the corridor on the third floor of Xia De's house.

Saying this, Yalu and Giles understood. The sisters are actually one person, and in the true sense of heart-to-heart connection, both know what the other is thinking—being suppressed by Miss Jia Lin Na can be excused as the other party also being a witch, but if it were just an ordinary ring warlock, the sisters should not be overwhelmed by the other party's momentum at once.

"I'll handle it."

"Do you plan to keep 【Greed's Reward】 by your side? I see you two are cooperating very happily."

Fortunately, Xia De and Giles finally accepted this fact. However, I also suspect whether the uniqueness of our sisters is related to that special human body alchemy.

"All the souls imprisoned by it are here. If it were the Third Era, holding this thing, you could probably easily find a demon to trade for a country. Fortunately, the Third Era is over... If you have no way to handle it, leave it to the church to worry about."

"The day after tomorrow, which is Monday, Luweiya will come here, and you will be able to see her then."

How rich the "legacy" left to the two by the stone mirror demon—Gede—was, Megan still remembers it vividly. If it weren't for it, it would have been very difficult for Megan to gather Miss Jia Lin Na's "token of love" later.

Thinking in his heart, he made the motion of throwing it into the crack. Thus, it flew from the corridor into that pale beach, and then silently fell into the calm waters in front of the beach.

"I can understand that the demon carries the labyrinth candle and soul coins with it, but what is it carrying the universal key for?"

"Your eyes are very beautiful; that eye color is very rare." The doctor originally wanted Xia De to hold all three types of relics, but Megan gave one of them to the doctor. That was the document-level relic 【Labyrinth Candle】 he had seen when he, Luweiya, and Yiluna broke into the underground ruins of Tobesk to defeat the "Silver-Eyed One" on the night of the God's Descent last summer. This relic can very well help the doctor digest the power of the labyrinth.

Although there was not much harvest, the doctor still obtained some demon materials and three types of relics. These dangerous materials belonged to the doctor himself, and even most of them he dared not use indiscriminately, only able to destroy them properly.

"Come, let's celebrate."

The doctor said modestly, and a new white cube appeared in his hand. The surface of this cube looked rough, but after it fell into Megan's hand, he felt it was extremely greasy.

"Probably because the demon is not a member of the Green Lake-zi family. That fortune teller did appear when Xia De-Han-Zi was in danger."

"Remember your father is suspected to be an adopted son? Yes, he was indeed an arranged adopted child. But in fact, he was manufactured by your ancestors using the blood of your grandfather, Pride Green Lake-zi, and your grandfather's sister, Gluttony, through human body alchemy..."

"Detective, what do you take me for? I said I would let it leave after dealing with the matters here. Of course, I wouldn't lie."

Arriving at the third floor, knocking on the door to enter the doctor's room, the doctor, with that bottle floating beside him, handed the wine glass to Megan:

Megan said cautiously, and then asked about the bottle:

The doctor said very uprightly, but Megan clearly remembered that at the beginning, it was said that after dealing with the labyrinth demon—Gede—the bottle would be let go.
