Chapter 2755

The three ice needles the doctor gave were just slightly thicker than sewing needles, cold throughout, and holding them in hand, one could even feel the temperature affecting the soul. And the shields he mentioned were actually three porcelain bowls, with snowy landscape scenery painted on the outer surface; Xia De didn't know if the doctor had painted them himself.

If so, one could only say he also had quite a talent for artistic painting.

The methods to activate the shields and ice needles were very simple, and Xia De had originally thought these were alchemical items created by demon knowledge, but in reality, even when he almost pressed his eyes against those items to activate "Demon Sight" to observe them, he couldn't see any traces of demon power.

Therefore, these were very likely alchemical weapons manufactured using the alchemical formulas of demon hunters, which made Xia De speculate that perhaps what the doctor had obtained was not as simple as just demon power.

Time soon reached ten o'clock at night. Xia De left Little Mia for Luvia to take care of, and Luvia sent the two to the basement.

After walking out of the tree hole, Xia De discovered that the weather in Vista Forest tonight was exceptionally good; stars twinkled in the night sky, and the moon hung high, bright and cold.

He did not immediately enter the city with Iluna, but first went to the elf girl's tree house. Although it was very late, the blonde elf was not asleep, but sitting on the platform on the second floor of the tree house, carefully wiping the four "elf antique arrows" she had already obtained with cloth under the moonlight:

"Don't you have urgent matters to attend to? Why are you still coming here to waste time?"

It seemed she did not intend to reveal any information.

And by the time Xia De and Iluna appeared at the Accordion Hotel in the city center, it was already 10:30 that night. Miss Elsa Asberg had already arrived when they entered. Xia De had met this Thirteen-Ring sorcerer more than once; the last time they met was during a group delivery mission, when this lady personally escorted that Angel-level relic out of Tobesk City.

Miss Elsa Asberg was usually called the "Winter Singer." Her appearance was very young, her hair was black, and she wore teardrop-shaped sapphire earrings on both ears. Tonight, she wore a dark blue dress, and she looked exceptionally capable.

When Xia De and Iluna greeted her, she of course recognized Iluna, but did not ask why the Chosen of Balance would appear here:

"So, are you in command of this operation, Mr. Hamilton?"

Although she used the power of ice, Miss Asberg seemed to be a lady who loved to smile. Xia De didn't know how Miss Danister had explained it to her, so he just nodded:

"Yes, sorry to trouble you to make a special trip."

"It's no problem. Since Danister encountered trouble, of course I have to help. Moreover, confronting ancient evil spirits is everyone's responsibility. I encountered an ancient evil spirit in the snowfield when I was a child, but at that time, the elders of the sect drove it away. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would have the opportunity to truly face this kind of enemy."

As she spoke, she smiled at the red-haired girl beside her:

"Danister, actually I feel that just seeing you in your current appearance is enough for me to make this trip. I'm really envious; this is truly returning to eighteen."

Miss Danister looked at her good friend with a cold face and didn't respond to this sentence, and Flora clearly agreed with Miss Asberg's teasing.

In short, after everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, Flora spoke to introduce the situation to Xia De:

"The locations of Lady Shatara and George Kant are currently both in our grasp."

She signaled for Xia De and Iluna to sit down. The layout of the sofa in this room's living room was very similar to Xia De's house. At this time, Flora sat on a single sofa, and Miss Danister and Miss Asberg sat together on the long sofa.

Xia De let Iluna sit on the short sofa opposite Flora, while he refused the chair Miss Bell brought over and sat directly on the armrest of the short sofa.

"In a while, my friend will go into the forest to deal with the demon's strongest split body, and the sister will go to the wilderness village to deal with the 'Ghost of Resentment,' the core of the relic 【Lingering Resentment】. Honestly, only she can handle this."

Xia De asked Miss Asberg:

"So the remaining two are George Kant and Lady Shatara. Lady, you choose."

"Very gentlemanly."

She praised with a smile:

"Then is there any difference between these two split bodies?"

"I can't tell the difference for now. I can only judge whether they are demons; I'm afraid I'll have to wait until they shed their human forms to judge their power. However, if there is a difference, it's probably that the battlefields are different."

The map of the forest and the map of the city were spread out on the coffee table. Flora reached out and pointed to two different locations:

"Lady Shatara is still in the city. After the tea party ended this afternoon, she went to have dinner, and then went to the Golden Music Hall to listen to a concert. After the concert ended at nine o'clock in the evening, she returned to the Oak Club where she is currently staying, and has not come out since;

As for George Kant, he accepted an invitation and went outside the city with friends. This is a tradition for local young people; they like to go to the forest outside the city before the end of autumn to light a bonfire and spend the night together with friends. This can also be considered a kind of party."

"But why tonight? Is it a coincidence, or did he leave the city on purpose?"

Iluna asked, and Miss Bell shook her head gently:

"Sorry, according to Mr. Hamilton's instructions, we did not conduct a direct investigation on him, so we only know his location outside the city, but don't know other things."

Miss Asberg then said:

"Then I will choose Lady Shatara in the city. Fighting in the city will cause a big commotion, and I have to consider the face of the church, so I'm afraid I'll be tied up, so I'll do it."

She assigned the more difficult opponent to herself, so Xia De nodded:

"That's good. I'll go find George Kant. Their location outside the city is in the north of the city. Although it's a bit far from Gregory Village in the northwest of the city, it's considered on the way. I'll call the sister over after I get outside the city."

And call the doctor over as well.

"Also, this is an alchemical weapon made by my friend, specifically for dealing with that demon."

He distributed a shield and an ice needle to Miss Asberg, and then said to Flora:

"After we start the operation, please contact the church and the Hermit Society with Miss Bell, and let them enter the forest to pull out those burning trees that Vanessa sensed. I had a pleasant talk with that 'Construct Master' this afternoon; they shouldn't refuse to help."

"No problem, I almost thought you really didn't need me."

The witch said enthusiastically, and Xia De said to Miss Danister:

"You stay here for unified coordination, and Iluna stays too. If anyone needs help, Iluna must arrive at the fastest speed. So we need a way to contact each other. I feel that setting off fireworks against the sky is a bit unreliable, isn't it?"

The red-haired girl was almost amused by Xia De:

"Don't think about any fireworks. Elsa is also here now; do you want her to mock my teaching level?

Xia De, I see your scores in alchemy classes are usually not very high, so why is your alchemy knowledge so weak? You are so busy usually; I'm afraid you haven't dabbled much in alchemy knowledge outside of textbooks, right?"

This was indeed a fact. The production of alchemical items required the accumulation of a lot of experience, but Xia De just lacked time.

So Miss Danister took out several beads with moonlight halos and distributed them to Xia De and Miss Asberg. The beads were red, yellow, and silver:

"If you crush the beads, I will have a sense of your location. Red corresponds to needing Miss Miss Beiyasi's help, yellow corresponds to the demon having been solved, and silver corresponds to needing help from someone other than Miss Miss Beiyasi."

The yellow bead meant that some finishing work needed to be done, for example, if Xia De accidentally ignited a large forest and wanted to extinguish the fire in a short time, he would need to find someone to help.

"No problem, I'll give this to the sister in a while."

Xia De said, then sensed the time and picked up the 【Night Watcher】 inserted in the scabbard:

"It's getting late, I'll set off now. Miss Asberg, we will act at 12:30 after midnight sharp. I won't remind you of extra words; you are definitely better than me."

"Then you just wait for me to solve the noble lady in the city and go outside the city to help you."

Miss Asberg said with a smile and watched Xia De leave the hotel with others. She would set off directly from the hotel in a while, so she could still sit here for a while.

After Xia De's footsteps faded on the stairs, this Thirteen-Ring sorceress who used the power of ice and snow asked Miss Danister again:

"You never said before that your student was so powerful. Looking at how he commanded everyone just now, not only was his momentum very strong, but one could see at a glance that he was very experienced. Moreover, you never said that your relationship with the Witch Council was so good. I heard that witches have very powerful means to maintain youth and beauty; do you have similar cosmetics?"

Iluna and Flora were still here at this time, and her asking this also indicated that she would not talk nonsense to others.

"That's because you never asked, Elsa. This time, consider it a favor I owe you."

The red-haired girl let the teacup float in front of her:

"I will reimburse all the consumption of spellcasting materials this time. If you need anything later, just tell me."

"Don't be so formal."

Miss Asberg waved her hand and blew lightly on the teacup floating in front of her, making the hot tea instantly become cold tea:

"Actually, I came to help this time also because I was a little curious about your student."

So three sharp gazes were immediately cast on her, and the sorceress continued in surprise:

"Has your student also come into contact with the power of my Lord 【Winter Maiden】? Last time we met, I only felt that he had traces of my Lord's blessing on him. This time we met, why do I feel that the smell of ice and snow on him is even richer?"

That was the smell of Chloe.
