Chapter 1791: Preparation for the Decisive Battle
After a night's rest, Xia De visited the apartment where Luweiya lived after breakfast on Sunday, which was rare. When the purple-eyed girl opened the door for Xia De, she was even wearing a nightgown. As for the cat brought along by Xia De, it was sulking in Xia De's arms. In Little Mia's view, going out without eating breakfast in the morning was something a cat could not accept at all.
Xia De invited Luweiya to have breakfast together, during which he explained that the demon had been resolved:
"In this way, one obstacle in front of us has been reduced."
"Before the diviner on the island completes the 'Creation of Space', we must solve him."
"Don't worry about that. Once he completes the ritual, he will definitely invite all descendants to land on the island. Currently, I have gathered quite a few people here, just waiting for you to arrive at Green Lake and then use the final 【Soul Iron Coin】 and 【Homeland Coin】 to divine."
Xia De touched the cat that was sitting on a high stool drinking goat milk. This was the "Finsney and Clodia Restaurant" on Silver Cross Avenue. Breakfast provided dairy products, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and toast. Xia De usually ate breakfast at home, and Little Mia naturally had few opportunities to eat breakfast outside, but it seemed to like the food here very much.
"Yes, figure out the Edwards Ascension Technique, the door with thirteen keyholes, and the reason for collecting the descendants of Green Lake Town. After that, we can almost plan to carry out the decisive battle."
Luweiya ate very little for breakfast. She used a fork to pick up the small red tomatoes in the vegetable salad, and her eyes looked at other guests in the restaurant. Luweiya and Xia De sat by the wall, under the oil painting portrait of the character wearing a cat mask. There were not many people in the restaurant early in the morning. People in this era were mostly accustomed to eating breakfast at home:
"Although the danger this time is still not small, the power we can mobilize is also greater. The six great witches of the Witch Council, Sister Daifulin, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, oh, and Miss Dannister, if you ask her for help, she will not refuse."
She smiled at Xia De:
"Look, your social ability and the ability of a charming female Ringed Shushi are playing an increasingly greater role."
Xia De coughed, and Little Mia immediately looked at him. Only after finding that he wasn't choking did it continue to eat:
"And the one from Randall River Valley. Although he cannot leave the Randall River Valley area for a long time, there is absolutely no problem participating in the battle at a critical moment."
"I am actually very curious, if that guardian and the 'ancestor' face off directly, who can win."
Luweiya asked with her head tilted.
Both were originally thirteenth-tier, and the guardian of the earth was even more extremely close to a demigod thirteenth-tier. Now the diviner chose to abandon the posture of a human, and the guardian of the earth became the Chosen One. Although neither was a so-called demigod, they were not simple thirteenth-tier either.
"It's hard to say, but this kind of opportunity is hard to create. After all, the diviner who masters space power will definitely not easily expose himself to the guardians."
Xia De said, while greeting the waiter to take away the empty plates. Only after the waiter left did he say hesitantly:
"In addition, there is one thing you can probably guess. When you arrive, you will be able to find that all three men in our group are there."
The purple-eyed girl raised her eyebrows, but didn't ask what the priest and the doctor were doing:
"Then Dorothy won't go, right?"
"Currently, no. She has no reason to run to Green Lake."
Luweiya nodded thoughtfully and didn't say the guesses and thoughts in her heart.
"Speaking of which, where will you live after arriving in Green Lake City? The Divination Society in Green Lake City is small in scale, even smaller than the doctor's clinic, and completely incomparable to the branches in Tobesk and Randall River Valley. However, the Divination Society in the City of Glass on the south bank of the lake is quite imposing. How does the society arrange it?"
"All supporting diviners are gathered in Green Lake City on the north bank. By then, there should be unified accommodation arrangements. This requires the society to communicate with the local city hall. However, they won't live very far away; the society will have arrangements."
After breakfast, Luweiya went to work, and Xia De held Little Mia, who was very satisfied with the meal and willing to go out with him to digest, and went to the Green Lake Hotel.
After greeting the boy and the puppy in the trash can as usual and entering the hotel from the front door, Xia De first went to find the doctor who also lived on the third floor. The doctor was planning to go out with that glowing bottle:
"I'm going to the local black market to buy some materials. I didn't expect to make the coins you wanted before coming, and some materials are not complete. By the way, I'll walk around the city to collect some 'war atmosphere'."
This should be a conceptual material that only demons would use, Xia De didn't understand it very well, but he introduced the shop of Grandma Natalie of the Light-Guiding Hermit Society to the doctor and told the doctor that if he needed anything, he could return to Tobesk at any time to bring materials that were not available here.
After saying goodbye to the doctor, he returned to his room. When he was in the corridor just now, he felt the badge on his chest very hot. After opening the door, four great witches stood up from the sofa and looked at Xia De—Miss Galina with red long hair, Audrey with brown shoulder-length hair, Miss Bernice with golden curly long hair, and Sylvia with black long hair.
"You all came so early?"
Margaret and Hires were not there, but Tifa was.
The Duchess signaled Xia De to sit down and talk:
"We are discussing how to arrange Last Edwards. We went to see her just now; she is indeed a very unique soul."
"So what is the plan?"
Xia De asked, taking the teacup handed by Tifa:
"Transfer or continue to live here."
"Continue to live here."
Miss Sylvia said very calmly:
"We have already checked the vicinity. This location is excellent. The arrangements Audrey made around the hotel earlier can now continue to be utilized. We plan to join forces to turn this place into a stronghold for the Council in the Green Lake area incident, just like the Wilde Opera House in Randall River Valley."
Xia De nodded, but he was not good at setting up rituals, so he couldn't help with this:
"When will Miss Aphrodite and Grandma Cassandra arrive?"
"Before next weekend."
Miss Bernice said. Although she had only arrived in the City of Glass with the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe last night, she didn't look dusty at all:
"The witches sent by the Council this time came in two batches. Me, Galina, and Sylvia are the second batch. Grandma and Hivi have sensitive identities and cannot appear with us. However, since there are already four great witches here, those tricky investigations can begin."
In that "Witch's Task List", there were quite a few tasks with difficulty exceeding the "Dark Moon Circus", which required the great witches to solve them personally. Moreover, as the space instability phenomenon became more and more intense, it was no longer just trains from afar rushing into the city. With Green Lake as the center, the frequency of appearance of location-type and event-type relics in the entire area was increasing.
This also meant that the next investigation would likely collide head-on with the church's team.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly closed their mouths together and looked at the door. Three seconds later, a knocking sound of dong, dong, dong sounded. Xia De frowned slightly:
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na."
Hearing the voice of the seventeen-year-old girl, Xia De immediately showed a smile. He didn't let the maid brought by Miss Galina open the door but got up to open it himself.
Outside the door was Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. She greeted Xia De with a smile and saw the four beautiful witches in the room after entering.
Among these witches, only Audrey Edwards was unknown to Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, but Yin Yi Yi Lu Na could also guess who it was. Xia De introduced them, and Audrey also stood up and shook hands with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na.
Although Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was only seventh-tier, the Chosen One was worthy of such respect.
And the wise great witch, of course, also saw the look in Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's eyes when she spoke to Xia De and looked at Xia De. She nudged the Miss Bernice beside her with her arm. The blonde witch nodded with a smile. Audrey was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was very reasonable:
"As expected of the one I took a fancy to..."
Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's arrival brought new news from the church to Xia De and the witches. Besides the fact that professors from the three major academies had arrived one after another, and seven thirteenth-tier Ringed Shushis from the Five Gods Church had gathered on both sides of Green Lake, what was more important was what the church had been doing recently:
"The church has also noticed the frequent appearance of relics and space anomaly
Although Laplace Klein Howard said on the night of the eclipse that he would not leave the central island during the negotiations, the church would not completely believe it just because the other party said so.
"In addition to those defensive actions, the church's high-ring warlocks are cooperating with the Association of Seers to prepare for a large-scale divination ritual. We must understand the purpose, plan, means, and arrangements of this thirteen-ring fortune teller all at once."
"Does the church have any plans to land on the island in the near future?"
Miss Sylvia asked again, and Yiluna nodded:
"The Folen brothers brought news from Xia De, letting the church know that Laplace Howard would not easily make a move. In addition to the divination of the Association of Seers, the Five Gods Church itself is also trying to find a way to open the road to the other island. Oh, and the investigation of the keys, the descendants of the Green Lake townspeople, and the illegal warlock organization assisting that fortune teller, the church is also conducting all of these."
Therefore, the Five Gods Church's ability to maintain basic order is also very helpful to Xia De's investigation. Once it becomes like the memory of Mrs. Lumer in 【Past Life · Sixth Era】, where the material world loses the order maintained by the church, things will become much more troublesome, and Xia De will not be able to focus on the investigation.
