Chapter 2342: The Priest's Promise

"Priest, whether I am a child or not is actually hard to say."

Xia De answered with a smile, Priest Augustus didn't pay attention to this sentence, but looked at what Xia De was holding. His old face wrinkled even more because of the frowning action:

"Where did you find this?"

Saying that, he reached out toward the bone, but was stopped by Xia De:

"Wait a minute, Priest. Before your 'vacation' ends, this cannot be given to you."

"I just want to see what its situation is now, you don't have to be nervous."

After the priest finished speaking, he touched the bone, and there was no sound or light effect. Xia De also explained what happened just now:

"You have also seen the nun in Mid-Hill Fort. She said her seal is not secure, so I wanted to find you for help. Otherwise, I shouldn't have come to disturb your vacation."

"That nun is really too humble, this seal is excellent, but..."

Priest Augustus felt it carefully, and he didn't fear the faint light on the bone at this time:

"If you want to be foolproof, you still have to give this to me. This is the most active bone I have ever seen. Although I don't know how it was done, and whether it is related to the abnormal light on it, except for me, you can hardly find any other 100% safe method."

"Almost?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, and the priest nodded and told the truth:

"You can send it to the real death, where the power can definitely suppress any restless death. But the problem is, we don't know if this layer of light will have an impact on death itself. I can feel that although this light is not strong now, its source is quite powerful."

He didn't let Xia De make a decision directly, but let go of his hand:

"The nun's seal can at least support for a week. You can find a safer place to store it first, and come to me after making a decision. I have always been in this orphanage."

The hidden space in the basement of St. Deland Square No. 6 is a very safe place. Xia De is very sure that the power of this bone cannot beat the ancient god statue, but he is worried that the power of the bone will damage other items.

Most of his belongings are stored there.

"Hmm... Priest, if I temporarily give this to you, how will you deal with it?"

Xia De thought for a long time before asking, and Priest Augustus answered without thinking:

"Temporarily imprison it in my body and appease the restless death. This is your thing, without your permission, I will not absorb the power in it."

Xia De trusted Priest Augustus's character quite a bit. Hearing the priest say this, he was actually a bit moved:

"Then how will you deal with the light on the bone?"

Rat Augustus smiled;

"Remember my core spirit rune?"

"I heard about it last summer... it was at the doctor's, only one, Enlightenment 【Glimmer】. (Chapter 39)"

Xia De said, and the priest nodded:

"My own power of death and the power of the core spirit rune are enough to suppress the light on this bone. It's just that in this way, my own power level will decline to the 1st or 2nd tier in a short time, and I won't be able to use the authority of that angel, unless I am willing to let this bone lose control as you described.

However, temporary power decline doesn't matter. I have quite a few alchemical props in my hand, and I have been in the orphanage, so I won't encounter any occasions that require power."

The priest is currently 4th-tier, but in Xia De's view, the level is not important to him.

"Will it cause your power to decline? This won't do, Moon Bay is not a safe place now."

Xia De shook his head immediately and turned to leave to think of other ways, such as shamelessly visiting the "Lady of the Lake" in Huntington City again, or directly letting Luweiya divine to find a way, but the priest stopped him:

"This time I didn't think about helping you directly in the local area like in Green Lake. Since I don't help you directly, let me help you with this."

He pointed to the bone:

"You are in Moon Bay, even if I encounter a big problem, can't I just ask you for help directly?"

"But..."

"Detective, this is not your personality, or do you not trust me?"

"Of course not, but... are you sure there's no problem?"

"If you have a problem, I have no problem."

Seeing Priest Augustus so confident, Xia De finally nodded in agreement. He handed out the bone, then watched Priest Augustus take the shoulder blade, and then "stuffed" it into his chest.

It was not piercing the flesh, but ripples floated on the surface of the body like a water surface. When the bone completely entered the priest's body and soul, Xia De shook hands with Priest Augustus again to confirm his state. After "She" informed that there was no problem, he was barely relieved:

"This is my contact address, our diviner friend is also here, contact me anytime if you have time."

The address Xia De gave this time was no longer the address of "Princess Trade Partners," but the address of the Beiya manor.

Priest Augustus, who had been in the local area for half a week, obviously knew what this address meant.

He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and looked Xia De up and down:

"Does that Duchess know about this?"

"Hmm... of course she knows."

"You still have means. Wait a minute, don't leave yet, since you are here, I will give you some good things."

The old priest left in a hurry, but came back soon, and handed a small bottle to Xia De:

"Hope it's useful to you."

The slightly glowing liquid in the bottle was naturally holy water. Xia De felt it with his hand and looked at the priest in surprise:

"No. 2 Holy Water Raw Pulp? Priest, can you make this level of holy water now?"

The old priest was quite proud:

"Do you think the skull you found in Green Lake only caused me to have psychological problems now? However, although it is very convenient for me to make No. 3 holy water, and you can have as much as you want, the production of No. 2 holy water is limited by raw materials and steps, and the output is very low. I came from Tobesk this time, and I only brought three bottles that were just made, you take this bottle."

No. 2 Holy Water Raw Pulp is a real strategic material. Even if you have more money, you can't buy it, just like Sage-level and Angel-level relics have never appeared on the black market. The preciousness of No. 2 holy water is actually very similar. Although Xia De had thought that the priest's "cargo list" would increase a lot after the Green Lake incident, he didn't expect that there would be such things now:

"Then I will accept it without being polite."

"Don't be polite with me, just as I am not polite with you."

After bidding farewell to the priest, Xia De directly threw the crystal shoes and returned to his home in Tobesk.

The night was deep, although the night of the "City of Steam" Tobesk was still filled with thin fog, the city was much calmer tonight than Moon Bay.

After Xia De went upstairs alone, he saw Galina and Dorothy drinking tea, talking about a fashion magazine about summer dresses.

Seeing that there was no Little Mia beside Xia De, Dorothy basically understood:

"Staying with Miss Annette tonight?"

"Yes, I came to say hello to you. If I don't come back, I'm afraid you will worry."

Xia De said this, quite embarrassed. After all, Dorothy and Galina have been living here recently, but he still has to stay outside, and he knows this is wrong.

"Xia De probably has strange ideas again, you accompany Luweiya, how can we be angry?"

The red-haired Duchess said with a smile:

"Then go quickly. But you notified us so late, did something happen in Moon Bay again? But counting the time, Sister Diefulin should have arrived in Moon Bay, right?"

Xia De then sat down and briefly told them about tonight's events. When talking about Helen and Grace, he also looked at Dorothy, and the writer lady naturally understood what Xia De meant:

"Princess Lei Qianya and I won't go to Moon Bay for the time being. We both have our own things to do in Tobesk, and under normal circumstances, the two of us can't help you much. As long as I am here, I can go to Moon Bay immediately after going down to the basement, so if there is a need, we can appear on the battlefield immediately, so don't worry."

Xia De nodded, kissed them goodbye in turn, and then went to Moon Bay from the basement again. Of course, he had an extra document bag in his hand when he set off. This was promised to him by Old John, the investigation report of the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 on the 【Eternal Light】 organization in Moon Bay.

Because he took a big detour home, when Xia De returned to the Beiya manor, the time had reached 9:30 that night, but the ladies in the manor were still waiting for Xia De to return.

Before he arrived at the manor, everyone, including Sister Diefulin, was talking about tonight's events and future plans in the study. The Moon Bay incident has developed to this point, and it is also nearing the final battle. The tense atmosphere of the wind and rain was visible even to Angelina.

But it was already very late today, so after confirming that Xia De returned safely, the ladies didn't gather together to continue talking, but went back to rest separately.

Sister Diefulin has not yet revealed her whereabouts to the Sect, so she and the nuns who came to Moon Bay with her also had to live in the Beiya manor.

In this way, the rooms in the manor were a bit stretched, but fortunately, there was now a portal in the basement connected to the "Radiant Messenger" at the pier, and the number of passengers that could be accommodated on the "Radiant Messenger" was thousands.

Xia De explained that he would stay overnight at the Beiya manor when he came back just now, so the Countess enthusiastically arranged for Matilda to prepare the room he had slept in, as well as pajamas and toiletries.

The Countess was talking to Megan in the second-floor corridor, but saw her blonde maid come back very quickly.

The originally generous maid chief pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before informing her master:

"Miss, Mr. Hamilton said there is no need to prepare a room, he is sleeping with Miss Annette tonight." ===== CHAPTER 2343 =====
