Chapter 278: Enemy God's Notes
The appearance of 【Moonlight Greatsword】 was within expectations, as for the other miracle 【Toy Making】, it was completely an accident.
Xia De directly touched the relic 【God's Gift Box】, and the spirit rune 【Toy Maker】 was produced by the whisper element. This was another spirit rune with a relatively specific meaning, and the potential for developing miracles was very low.
If 【Moonlight Greatsword】 was a purely offensive miracle, then 【Toy Making】 was a purely auxiliary miracle.
As long as Xia De's spirit was sufficient and there was enough cloth, he could turn any object that did not contain supernatural properties into a toy. And for living beings, they had to have enough trust in Xia De to be turned into a toy by him.
Although Little Mia's true owner was not Xia De, having lived together for a month, this cat's trust in Xia De was absolutely sufficient, so the first attempt last night turned into a toy under Xia De's clothes.
Of course, it might also be because the silly Mia cat was too simple.
And when Xia De invited Luweiya to test the miracle 【Toy Making】, even though the female diviner was prepared, after using a bed sheet, no matter how she covered herself with the bed sheet, the miracle could not take effect.
"Human thinking is richer, not as simple as small animals."
This was the explanation Xia De gave. Luweiya of course trusted Xia De enough, but this trust had not reached the level of Mia the cat, who could entrust everything.
"If I could be turned into a toy by you, I would also like to go and see the stories of the past you mentioned."
Luweiya expressed regret about this, and Xia De was also quite regretful. The Ancient God's mission was not easy. If he could bring a group of helpers, even if no one could face the god directly like him, at least they could offer many effective suggestions. And not only through the corridor of time, he could even take people to travel quickly between Tobeisk and Cold Water Port City at will...
"Speaking of which, since Mia can turn into a toy, why not take it to see the sea when there is time."
This was Xia De's thought when he was bored.
Just like this, Xia De and Luweiya spent a peaceful Friday morning at St. Deran Square. During this period, they saw several times squads of soldiers following behind clergy wearing priest robes, walking hurriedly on the roads around the square. After the cultists succeeded in summoning the god for the second time, but the god was expelled by another god, even if the 【Lord of Blood Banquet】 cult was lucky, it would at least be silent for twenty years.
The god-summoning ritual was not so easy; the consumption of two times was enough to bankrupt a small principality. Coupled with the city-wide search by the True God Church, even without the "fair" duel witnessed by the Ancient God last night, Xia De did not need to worry about being violently retaliated against by the Evil God at all.
The next time he saw the 【Lord of Blood Banquet】 come to the material world, maybe Xia De would have been promoted to Thirteen-Ring, or even achieved True God.
During leisure time, Luweiya also curiously and reverently asked Xia De about his feelings when he was "with God." She listened completely to Xia De's memories of last night and carefully asked about various details, occasionally making exclamations.
People in this world were born with reverence for gods, and unlike Xia De, an outsider who tried to become a god and had less reverence, anything related to gods, in the eyes of people in this world, had to be very careful.
The gods here were not powerful people, but high-dimensional existences in the true sense. Thursday's experience explained very well that if there was no power of a god, it was best not to overestimate one's capabilities and confront a god.
"All Unknown-level (Level 0) relics must be related to gods, but not all relics related to gods are Unknown-level. Even among Unknown-level relics, as far as I know, there are no more than ten that can have a slight effect on gods."
Luweiya enthusiastically told Xia De these things that ordinary Ringed Shushi did not know, and believed that since he was lucky enough to become a vessel for an Ancient God, he could not afford not to know these things.
In fact, absorbing and burning divinity did give Xia De some fragmented knowledge. But it was probably because the divinity was absorbed too thoroughly that the knowledge lay quietly in the deepest part of his head like golden sand. "She" said she could try to piece it together and understand it, but this was a very long process. Perhaps the right opportunity would give him a surprise, but it was best not to have too high hopes.
"Speaking of which, besides Level 0 relics, is it possible for relics of other danger levels to have an effect on gods?"
Xia De asked again. He thought it was impossible, but he didn't expect Luweiya to nod:
"Things related to gods are rarely spread privately, but I do know of an Angel-level (Level 1) relic that has a slight effect on gods. Xia De, in fact, most students at St. Byron know about it because it belongs to St. Byron. The Angel-level relic 【Enemy God's Notes】 belongs to the legendary Thirteen-Ring Mage, the founder of St. Byron, Miss Mana Feilianna. I don't know the specific characteristics, but it is said that the holder can obtain some effective escape ideas from the notes when encountering an Evil God."
Luweiya sat in front of the coffee table checking those letters, while Xia De sat at the dining table holding the cat and reading the newspaper. At this moment, he stopped the action of touching the cat. He suddenly had a strange premonition.
"That witch of the Fifth Era had many strange experiences, and that relic, according to ancient legends, was a notebook used by Miss Feilianna when she taught students by the campfire according to the more ancient mentor-apprentice etiquette."
The style of Miss Feilianna's notebook soon appeared in Xia De's head. During the time travel last night, the witch by the campfire was listening to Xia De's narration while writing and drawing content that no one could understand in the notebook, finally summarizing some useful suggestions. The possibility that such an item recording knowledge about gods would cross eras and become a relic was indeed very high.
"Oh, a Mage like Miss Mana Feilianna is something that female Mages at St. Byron in our era all look up to... Xia De, what's with that expression?"
Luweiya asked curiously. Xia De shook his head and hid his face behind the newspaper.
Just like this, the morning passed. By noon, it was still Luweiya cooking in the kitchen. Her cooking skills were not as good as Miss Lu Yisha, who had also used this kitchen before, but since someone was willing to cook for Xia De and the cat, he of course would not say inappropriate words.
At lunch, Luweiya shared her harvest from looking through that stack of letters with Xia De. Most of the letters were written in cipher, requiring the diviner to conduct divination to decipher, and most of the content had nothing to do with them.
The only useful clue obtained from a morning of simple flipping was the hiding place of the 【Forged Philosopher's Stone】. This relic was the beginning of Xia De's contact with a series of things, and it only finally appeared after this series of things ended.
"In the statue held by the Police Chief of Lidevich Field, only the Silver-Eyed One knew about this. That Police Chief is actually also related to 【Mercury Blood】."
Luweiya said while stirring her vegetable soup with a spoon:
"Also, your client, Mrs. Lawrence, was also killed by someone he sent."
Xia De stopped eating and looked at the long sofa in the living room. The death of that generous lady was his most regrettable thing at the moment:
"The Police Chief has a bright future, what is the point of getting involved with these illegal organizations?"
"【Mercury Blood】 is his thug, helping to handle some things that are inconvenient to handle. This also explains why 【Mercury Blood】 could do so many things locally, but only went to destruction today,"
Luweiya said. She didn't care about these things, but wanted to know from the letters carried by the vampire what it was originally doing in the Tobeisk area.
"This relic matter should be told to the doctor as soon as possible, so that the church doesn't get a step ahead."
Xia De said while holding bread, and thought of meeting the doctor at the charity banquet.
Although because of Xia De's appearance, Dr. Schneider left in time, but thinking about it now, the doctor's luck was surprisingly bad. If Xia De hadn't met him on the first floor, the doctor would definitely have encountered the Evil God at close range. Xia De now fully understood why, when he met other members of the group, they all thought Dr. Schneider used a relic that overdrawn his luck.
"The doctor's luck is really bad."
Tearing the bread in his hand and soaking it in the soup, this was a very common way of eating in this world.
"Indeed bad to the point of being abnormal. I think it might be related to the demon you mentioned, but I haven't heard that demons can reduce luck. In any case, Dr. Schneider's matter will definitely have a way to be solved."
Although the Evil God matter was solved, there were really many things waiting for them ahead.
The martial law in the city would not end until 6:00 tomorrow morning, followed by a week-long curfew, so they still couldn't go out in the afternoon. Xia De originally planned to take advantage of today's time to ask Luweiya for divination knowledge and try to see if he had this talent. After all, the female diviner's performance when breaking into the ruins was really eye-catching.
Unexpectedly, not long after lunch, the front door downstairs was knocked on.
"Yin Luna is back early?"
Xia De asked suspiciously, walked to the living room window and looked down, and signaled Luweiya not to be nervous:
"A familiar carriage, it's Duchess Galina Cavendish's carriage."
The female diviner also looked downstairs following Xia De. She hadn't seen the Duchess's carriage, but seemed to have associated something, and frowned immediately:
"Xia De, can you answer me a question? Is that powerful Sage-level (Level 2) relic 【Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace】 borrowed from this Duchess?"
Xia De was stunned and shook his head:
"Refuse to answer."
"That's fine."
Those purple eyes looked at Xia De inquiringly:
"Then is Galina Cavendish a Great Witch of the Witch Council?"
Sometimes Xia De really admired her thinking ability.
"Still cannot answer."
"Then I understand, so that's how it is."
Luweiya nodded gently, and then looked at Xia De with the eyes of looking at a magical creature:
"When did witches start getting close to men? How did you do it? Oh, no need to answer, I'm just sighing. But you must be careful, witches don't have a good reputation, be careful not to be deceived."
Xia De went downstairs to open the door, but the person inside the carriage was not the Duchess, but her personal maid, Miss Tifa Servit. She was still wearing the familiar cumbersome maid dress, her hands folded on her lap, looking a bit unwell. She greeted Xia De to get on the carriage and go with her; Miss Galina was waiting for the young detective at the manor. ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
