Chapter 1809: Dannister by the Lake
"Oh? That 0-level relic! The Association actually found it?"
This was even more surprising than the disappearance of Duo Luo Xi and Lei Qianya last night.
"Of course not yet, how could it be so fast? However, the Association has found the believers of the Old God—Golden Sovereign."
This was more attractive to Xia De than the 【Fate Pedestal】 being found, because that Unknowable-level relic certainly couldn't be placed in his hands:
"Really found them? Where are they now? I thought that the true believers of that Old God had all disappeared."
"Oh, my dear knight, don't underestimate faith so much. Although the nominal sect has disappeared, the Society, relying on divination, still found several Ringed Shushi who inherited the divine arts of the Old Gods. Do you know the divine art—Touch of Midas? That divine art was once thought to have been lost; I didn't expect those Ringed Shushi to still retain the way to learn it..."
Luweiya said to Xia De with a smile:
"When the Society found them, they discovered some special items in their residence that had just been transformed into gold. These Ringed Shushi who call themselves the 【Gold Investment Club】 agreed to cooperate with the Society precisely because the Society promised to help them cover up the matter of transforming gold."
Using divine arts to transform gold is essentially a type of alchemy. As long as it is not sold in large quantities to disrupt the financial order of ordinary people, the orthodox Church will not care; this belongs to a gray area. But obviously, those club members should have a large output.
"Are those people very rich?"
"Being able to transform gold, and being believers of the God of Wealth, they can't be poor people, right?"
The priest during the Battle of Midhillburg last year absolutely could not have done such a thing; otherwise, he would have directly let the priest fight Joy Barton in death at that time. It seems that the numerous angel skeletons collected by Ster over the past six months or so were ultimately useful.
"Do I really have a talent for this kind of thing?"
"Last night, was it not me who solved those aberration projections brought about by spatial instability?"
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Danni Xia De, together with Professor Mishadra Trass of the School of Political Economy, Professor Anna Bell of the School of Astronomy, and Professor Nio Foji of the School of Chemistry, led by two mid-tier Shushi sent by the local Peace Society to point the way, arrived at Puhov Village by Green Lake, along with several other associate professors, mid-tier lecturers, and a few students brought from the Academy.
Ster also showed a smile, just wanting to ask where those people were now, when Luweiya mentioned new information:
"Although it is very important, even if the Association finds it, it won't be given to you. Moreover, in my opinion, it's not that easy to find. You tell this information to Miss Dannister of the Academy; Saint Byrons cannot be uninterested. And since Miss Dannister has obtained such important information, she will naturally be able to negotiate with the Association later to help you arrange a meeting with the Old God's believers."
The female Shushi said with a smile, and Steer touched Mia's little cat head and put it into the pocket of his overcoat:
"Yes, busy with other things." "Do I have a chance to meet them?"
"Ster, do you know that if the information is confirmed to be correct, just this piece of information is enough for your practical credits this year to be full, and at least it will allow you to pick a relic of Guardian-level or above from the library."
"Because the President is bringing people here, and the original location of these Old God believers is very close to Green Lake, they will first come here to meet with the President and then be under the protection of the Association."
Miss Dannister's gaze moved back to the island in the distance. The Academy's "Library Management Major" itself is a major for collecting relics. As a librarian, she naturally knows this very famous Unknowable-level relic:
Suddenly hearing a somewhat familiar cat meow, she turned around and saw a young man she didn't know, waving at them beside an old house close to the pier, holding an unwilling cat.
"Also, the first batch of materials they sent to the Association included some information related to the synthesis of the 'Philosopher's Stone'. This ancient alchemical manuscript is incomplete, but it is also very precious. It seems that the origin of the divine art—Midas Touch is related to the 'Philosopher's Stone'. The Association is still investigating; this is a brand-new discovery."
Ster and Miss Dannister stood at the far end of the pier jetty that was half-submerged in water, looking together at the lake in the rainy and misty weather.
Xia De asked curiously: "Oh?"
"No, it was absolutely not me last night. I stayed with the girls last night... Yes, I absolutely didn't lie. If I lied, let Little Mia leave me."
"Good afternoon, Miss Dannister."
Clearly, there was no sign of rain in the Green Lake city area this morning, but after lunch, both banks of the Green Lake were surrounded by rain clouds. Compared to Tobesk, the frequency of precipitation in the Green Lake area in spring is really exaggerated, but precisely because of this, the area around Green Lake is one of the very important grain-producing areas in the central part of the Old Continent.
This time, Miss Danni Xia De did not tease Steer about his relationship with the other female Shushi:
Viewing the original image, the smile on Luweiya's face grew wider:
"Of course, you were so excited when you heard the news on Tuesday morning, I knew this was very important to you, so I didn't tell anyone else. Even Iluna doesn't know."
On the night of the lunar eclipse, Ster claimed to have used the power of an angel to have such an exaggerated performance, fighting against the "Mirror-Hiding Man" and the "Ancestor" on the island one after another.
So Miss Dannister exchanged a few words with other professors, and then followed Ster, who had changed his appearance with illusion, and walked along the lake toward the east side of the village. Although it was raining and there were fishermen by the river, the two easily found a large pier in the village that had long been abandoned and was covered by reeds.
"Um... let's not talk about that problem. Actually, I heard news about an Unknowable-level relic."
Luweiya shook her head slightly: "Still not easy?"
Miss Dannister's gaze shifted from the fog in the distance to Ster's face:
"Fate Pedestal, a relic used for divination, the appearance is a base for placing a crystal ball."
Ster touched his chest and pulled out the pendant with an alluring luster "ruby". Little Mia immediately leaned over from Ster's shoulder and licked it. However, this Philosopher's Stone from the Stone Mirror Demon—Gothe, is absolutely not something that can be licked into fragments by a cat, and Ster doesn't know why this cat likes this thing so much.
"The research of the ancestor of Edwards is also related to this, the Philosopher's Stone...
"Tell me, what is the matter with finding me? Don't tell me you want to report your recent learning situation to me here."
Saying this, he patted Mia, who was poking her little head out of his pocket. The cat meowed obediently and rubbed against Ster's hand. Ster certainly didn't lie, and he didn't know who solved the trouble last night... well, he still didn't know. According to the rumor of the "angel" and the fact that Priest August arrived at the Green Lake Hotel so late, it should be that the old priest influenced the boundary between Green Lake City and death.
"If your cat could talk, look at its expression, it would definitely open its mouth to scold you."
The female Shushi looked at Steer's face, frowning in thought:
"You certainly wouldn't have thought that when the Association found them, they couldn't even afford the rent for a place for public gatherings. It is said that after the ancient cult was destroyed, the cult's deadly enemy cast a curse on them, making them poor forever. As for transforming gold, it is just a way to break the curse."
That is a good idea. As for the residence of the Academy professors in Green Lake, Iluna, who came by train with the professors, had already told Ster.
"I really didn't think of that. That relic wouldn't be on the island over there, would it?"
He looked at the stone in front of him and was slightly lost in thought. Luweiya reminded:
"Why would you think that?" "Oh?"
"Meow~"
"No, it has nothing to do with Green Lake. It is a relic related to fate. The Divination Association is certain that this relic once appeared in the hands of the believers of the Old God—【Golden Sovereign】. Now the diviners have found the surviving believers of that Old God, and they will arrive in Green Lake City very soon."
"That's difficult, but it's not impossible. Regarding the 【Fate Pedestal】, did you only tell me?"
The two Ringed Shushi of the Church went to contact the team stationed in the village to arrange for a boat to take the group to inspect the situation in the lake. The elderly Professor Trass pushed up his glasses and, together with Professor Foji of the School of Chemistry, discussed the distribution of land-use elements in the large lake amidst the rain and fog.
"I noticed that when you described the ladies, you used the plural."
【You are becoming more and more handy at how to use relationships with ladies.】
Ster smiled awkwardly:
"Good afternoon, Ster. I thought you would come to see me immediately after I arrived in Green Lake. Why, are you very busy recently?"
"The relic can be forgotten. I have too many relics in my hands, as long as the practical credits are full... I actually want to ask you for a favor."
Raindrops fell into the water around the pier, stirring up ripples. Ster pretended not to hear that sentence, but was also thinking:
"Because someone saw the shadow of an angel in the night sky, it was not the Church that solved last night's trouble, you must be clear about that."
The purple-eyed girl showed a gentle smile: Ster really didn't think of that:
If he really lacked a certain relic, when the time came to ask Miss Dannister, she couldn't possibly not give it.
The red-haired lady shook her head, very worried about the private life of her only student:
Because it was raining, and the trade between the north and south banks had weakened a lot due to the intensifying negotiation differences, there were not many other people on the pier. Miss Dannister, wearing a raincoat that looked like it was not for ordinary people, stood alone on the pier jetty, looking at the fog in the distance. She remembered what happened when she came here on the night of the lunar eclipse a few weeks ago.
"Fate? Do you know which relic it is? Characteristics, or specific name." ===== CHAPTER 1810 =====
