Chapter 2609: Afternoon at the Opera House

After breakfast, Xia De even ran to the street corner to find a carriage and personally sent Luweiya to work at the Divination Association. Although the purple-eyed girl said it was a waste, it could be seen that she was still very happy.

The autumn with thunder and lightning was announcing the arrival of late autumn. Today was already the last day of the Harvest Month, and September had come to an end. In the sound of the rain, Xia De broke into the Dawn Church again this morning holding Little Mia.

The weather obviously also affected the number of believers coming to the church for worship, so Priest August was very free today, and he received Xia De in his room in the church.

"Vista forest land? No, I haven't heard any rumors about angel bones over there."

The priest poured Xia De a glass of white water, frowned, and thought for a moment:

"Are you sure it is the power of that angel?"

"I didn't have direct contact, just felt it was very similar, but intuitively speaking, it must be."

"Then that's it, your intuition is very accurate."

Priest August nodded, and Xia De raised the question:

"If that is really an angel bone, then can things shattered conceptually by that bone possibly be restored by you?"

"No possibility."

The priest destroyed Xia De's hope at once:

"It's like the dead cannot be resurrected, but the wounded can be treated. Damaged things can be repaired, but I am powerless against items damaged conceptually."

Seeing Xia De show a disappointed expression, he smiled and comforted him:

"Alright, I won't tease you. Although I cannot restore the things you mentioned, I know some relics can restore them. Even if that angel is strong, it is not the strongest existence in the material world, do you understand?"

"Understand, Priest, what do I need to find?"

The priest paced back and forth in the room a few times:

"Some things you won't be able to find even if I say them, and I'm not sure if some things are definitely useful even if found. The key now is that I don't know how strong the power of that bone is. Only after determining that can we find a suitable relic."

"So, I need to bring that bone back?"

Xia De asked, and the priest shook his head immediately:

"It would be better if it could be brought back directly; if it can't be brought back, I can go see it with my own eyes."

"You don't need to consider going out of town for now. I can't fully determine if that power still remains in the forest land now."

He simply described the story of the young witch of the Fifth Era to the priest, and then mentioned the Night Song Elves:

"I am waiting for news from the Night Song Elves. If they don't have records about that thing either, I'm afraid I can only try my luck to find it in the forest land."

After speaking, he asked curiously:

"Speaking of which, Priest, you already have quite a few bones, is there no way to make alchemical props like 'detectors'?"

Talking about this question, Priest August shook his head quite embarrassedly:

"It can't be made yet. The power of that angel represents the end. This not only means that the bone itself has similar power, but it will also cause any method attempting to detect it to fail. Your pendant can detect the bone at close range now, which is already the limit, or I can go there myself."

"No need for now."

The situation in Vista City is too complicated now, and even the Sect only dares to send one thirteen-ring to handle the local Nature Church. Before obtaining the power to effectively limit the "Twisted Tree Hole," Xia De will not let any friends around him go there. Currently, the curses of those two ladies are already tricky enough.

Although the priest had nothing to do in the heavy rain, Xia De didn't disturb him for too long. After talking to him about the rumors in Vista City, he said goodbye with Little Mia. However, thinking that he hadn't come to the church for worship for a while, Xia De didn't rush to leave, but talked to Bishop Owen of the church again.

The old bishop obviously had a lot of free time today. Xia De had just mentioned worrying about a famine this winter, and he talked to Xia De about the preparations the church was already making for this winter's disaster relief activities.

Bishop Owen didn't want to persuade Xia De to donate, but wanted to influence Miss Galina through Xia De, so that the royal family would also cooperate with the church to make corresponding preparations in advance. Of course, Delarion had already made plans to deal with the poor harvest since this summer, but the focus of the church and the government was different after all.

And obviously, it was a very convenient way to influence that Grand Duchess through Xia De, the "Duke's lover," and then directly influence the kingdom's decision-making.

Once the old bishop opened his mouth, he couldn't stop. Xia De originally planned to chat with him for half an hour and then say goodbye, but by the time Bishop Owen stopped talking, it was already lunch time.

Seeing that the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier, Xia De had no choice but to have lunch in the church with Mia. However, he left after lunch. He originally planned to go home, but after getting on the carriage, he thought that after Vanessa and Siris came to Tobesk, they were the ones visiting him, but he hadn't gone to see them:

"Anyway, I've delayed so much time, why not go see them. Today is Tuesday, the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe is rehearsing at... Queen Maria Opera House."

The opera house is not open on Tuesday afternoons, and an opera house that is not open will not be empty all the time. Besides arranging cleaning and letting the troupe about to perform rehearse, the theater manager will also rent out some performance halls for activities such as seminars and private celebrations.

Therefore, in the sound of the rain, the Queen Maria Opera House on Tuesday afternoon was not quiet at all. Although Vanessa and the others didn't know Xia De would visit, the doorman of the opera house obviously knew "Hamilton of Rejiede," so he let him in directly.

And the first person Xia De saw backstage was not Vanessa but Siris. When he walked into the collective dressing room backstage, the young blonde girl was holding the script and standing in front of the cabinet piled with costumes with the scriptwriter girls in the troupe, discussing whether some lines should be adjusted during the official performance to prevent causing any trouble in the current situation where the two countries in the north and south were already facing the haze of war.

"Siris!"

Xia De, holding the cat that was going to take a nap after lunch, waved and greeted. So the other girls smiled and gave up the place to them, and even "kindly" moved a floor-to-ceiling mirror to block the view from other directions in the room.

Siris was wearing a blue dress today, and because she was working, her long blonde hair was coiled behind her head. Seeing Xia De coming, she was of course very surprised and happy:

"It's raining so hard outside, why did you come here? Is there something wrong?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Xia De asked with a smile, and then took out the parchment he bought from the hermits yesterday from his pocket:

"Look at this, this is what I found from the Vista forest land. That forest land also has traces of your Forgotten Sect."

The young girl took the parchment and looked at it quite unexpectedly, and then looked at Xia De. Then she carefully placed the scroll of parchment on the low cabinet on the side, and then stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De:

"Thank you for this gift... I thought you only remembered Vanessa these days and forgot about me."

Xia De put the cat on the low cabinet, looked left and right, reached out and hugged Siris, and Siris also smiled and hugged Xia De's neck and closed her eyes waiting for Xia De to lean over. Of course, this kiss ended before Vanessa, who heard the news, appeared. When the witch saw Xia De, the floor-to-ceiling mirror had been moved away, and Siris was talking about the script with him sitting on the dressing table.

"You have Siris's lipstick mark on your face."

The witch reminded, but Xia De, who had already been teased by Galina with this method once, did not fall for it this time:

"Why would I have Siris's lipstick mark on my face?"

Siris on the side covered the lower half of her face with the script and laughed very happily. Vanessa, who pouted slightly, walked over and kissed him on the side of the face:

"Then that's to ask what you two just did... Then leave my lipstick mark."

Vanessa was also very happy that Xia De could come to visit. The cat taking a nap was arranged by them to be taken care of by someone, and they pulled Xia De to watch the girls rehearsing on the stage, and jokingly asked Xia De if he also wanted to perform on stage.

And Xia De originally thought this afternoon would continue like this, but around three o'clock, the four-ring girl Qin Lanshier, who was in a hurry, found the witch who was watching the rehearsal of "La Traviata" with Xia De under the stage:

"Leader, a group of police came to the theater. They said there was an accident in the small hall on the second floor, and asked us not to linger in the corridor before dusk."

"Accident? What accident? It couldn't be a murder case, right?"

Vanessa asked suspiciously, and Xia De held her hand and let her sit down, while he stood up:

"I'll go see. I'm also a celebrity locally, the police won't refuse my inquiry."

There were many police officers who came to the opera house in the rain, but at this time most of them were setting up roadblocks and warning lines in the corridors and stairs, and what was blocked was the small performance hall in the corner of the second floor of the opera house.

Xia De found a police officer with a police rank on his shoulder and wanted to ask about the situation. Although the other party knew "Hamilton of Rejiede," he shook his head embarrassedly:

"Sorry, we don't know the situation here either. We are responsible for preventing people from breaking in on the periphery, and the professional investigation team sent by the superior is specifically handling things."

This way Xia De understood, this was the standard way for the church team to appear. It seemed that something related to Ringed Shushi had happened.

He was originally curious about what it was, but didn't expect that after saying goodbye to the big-nosed police officer, he turned around and saw Iluna, who was wearing a police uniform and hanging a certificate around her neck, walking towards him from the other side of the corridor.

Xia De rarely saw her wearing such a uniform, but at least it looked quite good. ===== CHAPTER 2610 =====
