Chapter 2674: Actions of the Tree Hole Association

"It's the Secret Keeper-level relic 【Thirteenth Alley】."

The witch also sat down on the single sofa, and then found that the red-haired girl didn't pour her tea:

"You must know this, so I won't explain it."

Xia De continued:

"We encountered some accidents. It was the people from the 【Tree Hole Association】. They seemed very well prepared. It can be confirmed that the 【Tree Hole Association】 also knows the secret of the Temple of Time. Remember two weeks ago, on the night of the opening of the Moon Dance Festival, because the local church learned the secret of time travel from Father Francois, they attacked the Golden Music Hall?"

"Of course I remember, do you know the reason?"

"Yes, I originally thought they were trying to eliminate some secret that couldn't be known by the church. Now it seems they just wanted to lure the church to investigate the Golden Music Hall, so that the secret of the temple established before the music hall would be revealed.

The 【Tree Hole Association】 has been investigating there for a long time and really couldn't find any clues, so they came up with this method after realizing the local church's actions."

Although Professor Kunto's soul could no longer be communicated with, the two Ring Mages from the 【Tree Hole Association】 knew many secrets.

A total of thirteen opportunities, just now they didn't encounter a single 10% safety chance. It took a full fifty minutes, and after winning thirteen morgue abnormal events, the two finally struggled to escape from the relic's effect.

These thirteen abnormalities were not just ghost attacks or fierce ghosts waking up. Xia De and the witch didn't know how this relic worked. During the third cycle, all the lights in the corridor went out, and then a guy who looked like a Death Angel chased and killed the two from the 【Tree Hole Association】. Of course, that thing was not an angel, but it was definitely not simple;

And during the eighth cycle, a door slammed open, even opening a passage to true death.

So this road sign being classified as "Secret Keeper-level" is definitely not an exaggeration.

In short, although the two from the 【Tree Hole Association】 successfully survived the relic's effect, by the time they returned to the morgue corridor in reality, they no longer had the ability to continue high-intensity combat.

Easily captured by Xia De and the witch, they were taken to the forest outside the city. Then the witch summoned the "Wall of Sighs" to pull out their souls, which allowed Xia De to ask many things:

"The 【Tree Hole Association】 determined that the Golden Music Hall was a temple of the Ancient God five years ago. According to the two, they relied on a fragment of a poem.

The president of the 【Tree Hole Association】, the woman known as the 'Clockmaker', believes that the temple should contain important items related to the Chosen One ritual. Therefore, after they arrived locally, besides looking for local tree holes and travelers, their most important activity was investigating the Golden Music Hall.

After realizing they were noticed by the church, the 'Clockmaker' tried to let the church, which didn't know the secret, investigate the temple, but didn't expect the church not to send large troops deep into the forest, let alone conduct too much investigation into the Golden Music Hall.

So they could only rely on themselves to continue investigating the temple. Professor Kunto didn't hide from his colleagues that he had been here half a century ago, so the 【Tree Hole Association】 locked onto the professor last week. This morning they caught the professor, but the professor didn't give them the answer, just letting them know that someone had visited the professor yesterday and also asked about the past of the music hall.

So after murdering Professor Kunto, they deliberately waited for us to arrive at the morgue."

Picking up the teacup, Xia De drank a few gulps, and the temperature of the tea was just right.

The witch, with her wet hair draped over her shoulders, signaled that her apprentice didn't need to wipe it anymore:

"The opponents weren't just those two. A high-ring mage was also lying in ambush on the outskirts of the morgue. He was good at transforming himself into a liquid form, so even though we were very cautious, we still let him run away. This rainy weather is really too suitable for the other party to cast spells. Although he was extremely afraid of Xia De's flames, we couldn't stop him at all when he wanted to run away."

"Almost stopped him, I wanted to use extreme cold to freeze the other party's body, but it was still a step too late."

Xia De corrected, and Miss Lei Lei Qianya nodded:

"After that, we went outside the city as Xia De said, asked questions, and threw the two soulless Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi bodies to the street corner where the local Peace Church is located."

Conducting such an action on a rainy night, she also felt a bit exhausted:

"There is other good news. We finally know the reason why the 【Tree Hole Association】 hasn't been very active in the city recently. They tried to peek into Xia De's past not long ago, and then were detected by Xia De, so they were scared by Xia De."

"I don't know what they are talking about. The two said that I suddenly turned to the group holding the ritual and said 'It's you who are watching me', but I don't remember saying such things recently."

Xia De explained, not connecting the other party's peeking with one of his own intuitions:

"At the same time, we can also be sure that the Golden Music Hall must still be hiding some big secret. Regarding the Temple of Time, I have already explained it to you in detail at dinner. I plan to go to the Golden Music Hall to visit and watch the performance tomorrow. The Moon Dance Festival is over, so tickets shouldn't be hard to buy, right?"

"Not hard to buy, I'll arrange it."

The witch said, and then asked the red-haired girl:

"Does St. Byron's really have no clues about the Chosen One of Time? Any valuable information in the poem fragments mastered by your academy?"

This time, the library administrator girl didn't give an answer immediately. The poem fragments of the academy were too fragmented to analyze anything. But now that she had obtained important information like "Ancient God Temple", she thought carefully:

"I'll return to the academy to confirm in a while."

"That's good. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You guys discuss how to deal with that road sign. This thing is too dangerous.

Also, don't tell the church the truth about Professor Kunto's death for now, otherwise if the church seals the Golden Music Hall, we won't be able to get in."

He was tacitly agreeing to want to investigate the secret of the temple before the True God Church. The witch and the red-haired girl had no objections:

"Then good night, Xia De, see you tomorrow."

The ladies said goodbye together, but the witch with gray-black hair got up slightly and kissed Xia De, who was beside her:

"This is what I lost to you."

The tone was quite natural, as if she had just shaken hands with Xia De.

Xia De blinked in surprise:

"That bet, you don't have to take it seriously... I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

This time he didn't even let Miss Bell send him off, but took out the crystal shoe and disappeared from the sofa with a light throw.

This was the first time he showed this sorcery in front of Miss Lei Lei Qianya. The witch looked curiously at her friend beside her, but the red-haired girl asked:

"Flora, you did it on purpose, right?"

"What on purpose?"

"Humph~"

At home at No. 6 Saint Deran Square, Luweiya and Little Mia were still waiting for Xia De's return. After experiencing the lively weekend at home, only the purple-eyed fortune teller girl remained at home on Monday night.

Seeing Xia De return so late, she knew that something must have happened in Vista Forest. So she temporarily put down what she was doing to help Xia De prepare a late-night snack, and listened to him talk about the "Temple of Time".

The two Document-level relics 【Language Expert】 bought from Mr. Edmund in the morning were placed on the table by Xia De. He ate fried eggs and asked Luweiya:

"Although your special fortune-telling is invalid for things related to gods, the secret of the temple doesn't point directly to gods, but to the treasures of the ancestors. Can you try to tell a fortune?"

"I can try."

The girl in pajamas picked up a coin and threw it high into the sky. The coin successfully turned into fly ash and disappeared before falling. Xia De was quite surprised by this, and looked at Luweiya with the cat. The latter also opened her eyes, quite confused:

"Very smooth, even a bit too smooth. No, I couldn't know what the puzzle was, nor did I know how to crack it, but I knew the puzzle was related to some musical notes. Go investigate whether there are musical notes in the existing temple ruins, and then play them, and the thing you are looking for will be displayed in front of you."

Xia De nodded, guessing whether this was the long-haired girl directly telling him the answer. If the things in the Golden Music Hall were really directly related to the Chosen One, then the long-haired Luweiya must know all the secrets there.

So instead of saying it was fortune-telling just now, it was better to say that the long-haired Luweiya revealed some news while treating herself.

Because no other girls stayed overnight at home tonight, Luweiya, as the "hostess", lived in the master bedroom again. And when she was making breakfast in a good mood early Tuesday morning, she found that Xia De, who went downstairs to get newspapers and goat milk, actually brought Yin Yi Yi Lu Na up.

So the fortune teller girl buttoned up her pajamas calmly:

"Good morning, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, have you had breakfast? I happen to be cooking."

"I'll go wash my hands, I'll come help!"

Iluna said immediately, but Luvia had Xia De hold her back, telling her to just wait for dinner. However, Iluna hadn't braved the rain this morning just to mooch a meal; she had brought new information:

"Yesterday afternoon, the church sent someone to the Black Stone Security Company to find me and let me go to the church. They asked me if I appeared in Vista Forest riding a chocobo on Saturday."

Luweiya in the kitchen and Xia De, who was warming goat milk across the table, looked at her worriedly:

"The church really wouldn't fail to associate it with you, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. How did you answer?" ===== CHAPTER 2675 =====
