Chapter 2476: New Relic

In short, no matter how unhappy Jia Lin Na was, life still had to go on. The Duchess didn't seem to have anything to do in the morning, but she was still pulled away by Lei Qianya when she left, telling her not to do things that would damage the reputation of the Cavendish family in broad daylight.

She generally did this kind of thing at night.

Lu Weiya also left with them. Today is Wednesday, and she also has to go to the Prophecy Association to work. So the house, which was lively, was left with only Xia De and Little Mia.

After returning to the second floor from the entrance hall, he went to the bedroom where Miss Miss Feilian An Na had lived for these days.

The bedroom had also been tidied up neatly, the quilt was spread flat on the bed, and it was bathed in the morning sun with the desk.

Xia De had never actively walked into this room these days, and the appearance of this room now was as if it had never been used.

He sat on the edge of the bed facing the window, stroked the cat for a while, and then stood up. He put Little Mia on the windowsill to let it sunbathe by itself, and he lifted the quilt, intending to fold it and put it into the closet.

Miss Miss Feilian An Na should have used magic for cleaning, and the quilt and pillow were very new.

【Aren't you wanting to collect this set of bedding?】

"She" asked with a smile in Xia De's ear, Xia De ignored her. He just folded the quilt, picked up the pillow, and was about to put them together when a letter appeared under the pillow.

"Oh?"

Nothing was written on the white envelope. After opening the envelope, there was only a folded letter paper inside. There was no text on the white letter paper either, but a clear red lipstick print was printed on the top after folding.

The lip lines were quite clear, and Xia De didn't know how to describe the faint red color. He only knew that he was very happy at this time. After putting this letter away, he came to the window and pushed it open, letting the warm summer wind blow into the room.

Today's Tuo Bei Si Ke was a rare good day, just as good as Xia De's mood at this time.

After writing a letter to Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te to inform her of the departure of Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Fiona, Xia De went out with Little Mia.

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te should soon talk to him about the "teacher's clues," and although Xia De listened to the two witches tell their visiting experiences, this matter should be more interesting from Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te's perspective.

As for going out with Little Mia, it certainly wasn't because Xia De and the cat couldn't bear the empty "lonely" atmosphere in the house, but because he had things to do.

He soon took a carriage to Old John's pawnshop. Amidst the bell sound of entering the door, the old man behind the counter raised his head, and then showed a smile to Xia De:

"Look who this is, I didn't expect the busy man to come to me."

"The Moon Bay business is over, what else do I need to be busy with?"

Xia De also said with a smile, put the cat on the counter, and sighed at the familiar furnishings of the pawnshop:

"Old John, I really envy your leisurely life."

A few weeks ago, in order to find 【Star Sword Stone】, Xia De had sought help from Old John, and thus knew that the relic was in the hands of Mr. Chekhov, who opened an old bookstore in Moon Bay, so Old John knew that Xia De was active in Moon Bay.

"I really don't know if you are praising me or mocking me."

The old man put down the newspaper and prepared hot tea for Xia De, but he didn't ask about any matters concerning Moon Bay or even the God War:

"Is it buying information or buying relics this time?"

"Relics. I once said before that I have long-term acquisitions of special coins and relics that can absorb energy, spirit, etc., whether physical or non-physical, and pass them on to the user. Are there any goods in hand now?"

The 【Blasphemous Cross】 that had followed Xia De for more than half a year had been consumed in Moon Bay. That was given to him by Granny Cassandra. Although the possibility of encountering an evil god again immediately was not high, such things should be prepared before they are in front of you.

Old John also remembered Xia De's acquisition commission:

"Of course there are goods, don't underestimate my channels. However, this relic is only a Poet-level one. Although it meets your conditions, I don't know if you are satisfied."

He soon took the relic. This relic was also not big, or rather, if you didn't look down, it was even difficult to see the thin silver needle embedded in the alloy.

"The containment condition is to put it in this special iron alloy. Poet-level relic 【Benevolent Doctor's Injection Needle】, yes, this is not a sewing needle but an injection syringe needle.

When using it, you need to insert either end into your own body, and then insert it into someone else's body. Remember, don't get the order wrong, otherwise it won't be you sucking others, but others sucking you."

The old man signaled that Xia De could take the thin silver needle out and look at it:

"Of course, because it is only a Poet-level relic, its usage limitations are very large. The hardness of this needle is very low, and ordinary 【Petrified Skin】 can easily defend against its attack. And it can only absorb spirit, and the conversion efficiency is shockingly low.

Spirit itself is a collection of energy, information, and various things, and has the characteristics of being unmeasurable and unobservable, so I can't give you an accurate conversion efficiency, but it should be between one-tenth and one-fifteenth.

That is to say, you use this to absorb other people's spirit, absorb the spirit capable of releasing ten fireballs, and you will get enough spirit to release one fireball."

"How is the absorption speed?"

Xia De asked again, Old John shook his head regretfully:

"The longer the insertion time, the more spirit absorbed, which means you need to maintain the needle-piercing action to do this. Its absorption efficiency is extremely slow, and it's not easy to describe specifically. In short, this is not a relic for you to use in actual combat situations."

"So its biggest role is actually for companions to share spirit with each other in a resting state, right?"

For example, in special areas like the "Gravel Sand Sea" where it is difficult to recover spirit, Xia De could use this kind of relic to share his abundant spirit with his companions... Of course, if you can carry relics, using 【Desire's Perfume Bottle】 is actually more efficient.

"Yes, the role is this. Low conversion efficiency and low absorption efficiency are indeed shortcomings, but at least as a Poet-level relic, it is safe enough. However, I must remind you that if this relic is used by a ring-sorcerer or ordinary person who is extremely lacking in spirit, then what is absorbed is life force."

"What is the negative characteristic?"

Xia De was very interested in this relic.

"Sharing extreme emotions and curses related to the flesh. Note that it is not sharing, but sharing. After all, it is Poet-level, and the side effects are not big."

"Does this relic meet my needs?"

Xia De asked in his heart.

【Yes.】

So Xia De carefully took the thin silver needle out of the alloy. If this relic fell to the ground, it would be very troublesome to find it with eyes alone. And even if the relic was slender, when Xia De's fingers touched it, he actually touched extremely tiny carvings on the surface of the silver needle—

【The noble know how to share, but should also be wary of human greed.】

"Old John, name your price. For this kind of low-level relic, cash transactions should be fine, right?"

"Of course. However, this relic can share spirit, so it is considered somewhat useful, so the price is on the high side, 13 pounds."

Xia De didn't even bargain this time, and went directly to take out his wallet after putting the relic back.

But the old man behind the counter signaled him not to be so anxious, and he said with a smile:

"I also have a deal to make with you here. If this deal is reached, maybe it will be me who gives you money in the end."

"How so, Old John, what do you want to buy from me? I declare in advance that Little Mia is not for sale."

Xia De joked while stroking the cat, and the old man behind the counter also shook his head with a smile:

"I know you were in Moon Bay a while ago, so I want to buy some information about Moon Bay."

"What kind of information is it specifically?"

Xia De asked again, so Old John put the teacup in front of him and pondered a little:

"I want to know if the two distinguished guests from afar are still here?"

"They have already returned."

Old John nodded in surprise, not surprised that they had already left, but surprised that Xia De opened his mouth so readily:

"Then, on the Sunday before last in Moon Bay, that 'hero' who invited three unexpected guests, can he still invite unexpected guests to appear here at any time like he did then?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"I don't know much either, but I think he shouldn't be able to. After all, the Moon Bay incident this time was also an accident. If the True Gods could appear, there would be no need to invite those dangerous guests."

Old John nodded clearly and praised Xia De:

"I am not against that hero using such means. Don't look at my age, but I am a very open-minded person. As long as he can control the power, then using any power is acceptable. The significance of the existence of the Hidden Society is to inherit civilization, and for this, we don't mind using any means."

"But not everyone thinks so, right?"

Xia De asked with a smile.

"Don't worry about this. As long as that hero is strong enough, and every time he takes action he can solve such a big trouble, even if the guests he invites next time become more, people will understand. Besides, do you think that after experiencing this incident, who in the material world dares to provoke him casually?"

This old man belonging to the 【Light-Guiding Hidden Society】 looked at Xia De:

"You were probably too busy entertaining your Duchess at home a while ago and didn't have time to ask about the brand-new situation in the black market. Now people have publicly recognized that the 'God-Caller' is the strongest ring-sorcerer in the material world of this era, proficient in the power of the moon, time, and summoning. There is even a rumor that the Chosen One of Light and Justice, who has never appeared, is actually his subordinate."

Xia De smiled and didn't comment on this sentence. He wouldn't talk to anyone about the coroner in Moon Bay. ===== CHAPTER 2477 =====
