Chapter 1862

"Do you know anything else? Your rebellion against your ancestors is definitely not a thought that just appeared. Before the 'God-Awakener' clearly intervened in this matter, what preparations did you make?"

Xia De asked, after all, the appearance of the "God-Awakener" was a matter of last summer, and according to the words of Maria Edwards, Nadia Folen had this thought more than ten years ago.

"I won't tell you my trump card."

"Then what is your trump card aimed at? In your opinion, what is the most threatening thing about your ancestor? Weapons? Relics? Helpers? Or power I don't understand?"

"Eyes that see through fate."

Nadia Folen answered very affirmatively:

"All along, the ancestor has predicted the fate of all members of the family. For things that will happen in the future, although he cannot know everything, he has already seen the direction of the torrent of fate. We want to be rescued. Although it is important to master the power to defeat him, it is more important to jump out of the fate he divined. This requires a relic that interferes with fate that is more powerful than 【Remains of the Filthy】 contained by the Creation Church, 【Twenty-Sided Dice of Fate】 contained by St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, and 【Doom Organ】 contained by the Prophet Society."

She paused to give Xia De time to think:

"This is the most important reminder I give you: when fighting with the ancestor, you must carry a relic that interferes with fate. Otherwise, every attack you make against him, he can predict in advance."

Xia De frowned:

"The three relics you mentioned are all famous Secret Keeper-level (3rd level) relics. Every relic that interferes with fate above that has a reason not to be used casually."

"There are rumors that the Prophet Society recently discovered a 0-level fate-type relic. It's a pity that time is not enough, otherwise if it can be found, the success rate of defeating the ancestor can be increased to at least 50%."

The woman said, Xia De although used to the Edwards' fear and admiration for that diviner, still couldn't help but ask back:

"So you think, even if you give me important information, our current winning rate is still not even half?"

"At most 20%. Although you are very strong, the ancestor has planned for two hundred years, and it is definitely not something you can deal with in two months. You are also a Ringed Shushi who is good at spatial power in rumors. Then you should understand that it is even possible that in the end, you won't be able to see the ancestor who is deliberately hiding from you. I have never liked to hand over my future to fate, but for the family banquet on Wednesday, I can only see if fate favors us."

Footsteps came from the stairs, and the waiter brought a tray, delivering rum for Nadia Folen.

She drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up and prepared to leave. And at this time, it was less than ten minutes since she sat down:

"I only have so much to say, I hope to see you at the banquet on Wednesday."

"Please wait a moment, I have one last question."

Xia De called her:

"Do you know what the 【Truth Society】 is doing with your ancestor? What do they want to get from the Edwards family?"

The woman sat down again and answered after thinking for a while:

"I also want you to answer me a question: do you have a relationship beyond friendship with a member of the family?"

"What is the purpose of this question?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Determine to what extent you will go to fight the ancestor?"

"Yes. I am in a relationship with a girl in your family."

Nadia Folen did not let Xia De produce evidence:

"The Truth Society is not particularly seeking human alchemy data, nor do they hope that the ancestor will divine for them. They want the ancestor's research on the soul. I don't know much about it, only that it is about the formation of the soul, the ignition of spirituality, and the birth of wisdom. Perhaps, they are thinking about the origin of the soul. The research of the Truth Society is always so strange but creative."

"Soul... soul research is a strictly prohibited matter in the Sixth Era."

"Yes, but human alchemy cannot do without this part. The demons summoned and cooperated with by the ancestor also provided him with sufficient data. Although the ancestor's research focus is not these, the 【Truth Society】 cares very much about these contents. Thanks to the cooperation with the 【Truth Society】, it has promoted the ancestor's progress in the direction of human alchemy."

"What does the Truth Society want to do?"

Xia De thought in his heart, and Nadia Folen had already stood up. She didn't say goodbye to Xia De, but walked directly to the stairs. Xia De listened to her unique heartbeat reaching the first floor, then left the tavern, until she disappeared into the rumbling rain.

Xia De didn't stay here for long either. Shortly after Nadia Folen left, he also held an umbrella and broke into the rain curtain again.

Thinking about this new information in his heart, he hurried out of the slums along the alley, found a taxi at the street corner, and let the carriage move towards the pier by the Duin River in the city.

In order not to disturb this private meeting, Xia De didn't even let Megan arrange a carriage to pick him up, but let the small boat wait for him on the river and take him back to the cruise ship. Along the way, Xia De didn't talk to the driver. After getting off the carriage, he held an umbrella and went down the steps at the gap by the riverside street to the pier on the shore.

It was just that he originally let the small boat come after 10 o'clock to prevent the boat from staying too long and being suspected. But now it was only 9:30, and the meeting with the cultists was too fast, so he had to wait for another half an hour.

But this is also good. Xia De also has time to hold an umbrella and think in the rain, turn the newly acquired information into a response plan, and add it to the action plan for Wednesday night.

How to board the island with Megan and Audrey still has no progress, but Xia De seems to need to find another relic that can interfere with divination to carry with him in addition to the 【Twenty-Sided Dice of Fate】. His fate is difficult to be divined by others, but if the diviner just relies on strong inspiration to perceive his next move in battle, then it does not involve specific divination behavior.

"Cards are his means of resurrection..."

This is also a place to pay attention to. Regardless of whether this information was deliberately released by Laplace Klein Howard, it is indeed necessary to contain or destroy that deck of cards in advance.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Although he thought about standing here and waiting, the umbrella couldn't stop the raindrops blowing on his body after all. Xia De thought about the things in his heart, turned and climbed the steps back to the avenue along the lake, thinking about finding a place nearby to avoid the rain.

One side of the street is the Duin River, and the other side is low two-story buildings. Because it is adjacent to the slums, the street scene and the outer walls of the houses look quite bad in the rain. There is no tavern on this street, so Xia De planned to find a rain eaves to avoid it.

Although there are gas street lamps on the side of the street, the distance between them is quite large. Xia De could only scan the nearby street scene with his dark vision, and set his eyes on the sign of "Jennifer Flower Shop".

The building of the flower shop is exactly the same as the buildings on both sides. Just to make it convenient for flowers and plants to have a place to bask in the sun, the owner of the flower shop hard-built a small terrace on the outside of the second floor of the flower shop, facing the street.

This means that there is a rain-avoidance area formed by the terrace facing the street above the first floor, so Xia De walked over.

The flower shop had already closed, and through the dirty display window, you could see the withered roses displayed inside. However, there was no trace of elements nearby, and Xia De did not expect that he could encounter relics casually, so he didn't take it to heart.

There are round tables and chairs fixed on the ground at the entrance of the flower shop, which seems to be one of the decorations of the flower shop owner. Xia De put away his umbrella and stood against the wall, then sat down at the table, took out a candle and stood it on the table, then watched the curtain of water sliding down from the edge of the terrace above his head, and flowing towards the Duin River through the street surface.

"The decisive battle on a rainy day..."

He continued to think about the arrangements for Wednesday, waiting for the arrival of the boat, and staring at the street scene of Green Lake City in the rain. He sighed in his heart about this city destined to be recorded in history books, but suddenly saw another man holding a black umbrella walking from the intersection in the rain.

Xia De heard the sound of whistling, and also saw the other party walking deliberately swaying. When the figure gradually approached, he saw the specific image of the other party.

The top of the head is very bald, leaving only fluffy stubble. The skin is dark, the double eyelids of the two eyes are extremely serious, and the body is wrapped in an uncommon brown old-fashioned robe that people in desert areas often wear, but the clothes at least look quite warm in the rainy night.

As for the feet, it is a pair of brown boots that look like laces and leather buckles. But the boots are also very dilapidated, which makes this person look like he is not from the upper society.

Xia De stood up and watched "Demon Scholar" Mr. Xiao En Asmon appear in this rainy night. The scholar's black eyes under the umbrella raised slightly, cautious but with a cold smile, swept towards the area under the flower shop that was obviously suitable for avoiding rain, and then saw Xia De looking at him in surprise in the light of the candle on the table.

This dark-skinned middle-aged man also recognized who was sitting at the table, so after curling his mouth and stopping his footsteps, his boots stepped on the accumulated water on the road and walked towards this side, his face showing the strange smile that he usually showed with the corners of his mouth pointing upwards.

The umbrella was put away under the terrace of the flower shop, and the strange Delarion language belonging to Xiao En Asmon was spoken:

"Mr. Watson, Mr. Watson, the two of us always meet in unexpected scenes. It's been a long time since we parted in Randall Valley."

The rain was drizzling. Although he had long thought that he would likely meet this gentleman again in the Green Lake area, Xia De didn't expect that this meeting would be in such an environment.

The two shook hands, and the scholar's hands were still as rough as ever.

Xia De waited for a while -

【No trace of elements.】

He finally felt relieved.
