Chapter 293: One Week

As if because of the arrival of the exam week, in the following week, no other things actually happened.

The Evil God's descent into Tobesk seemed to have become a node. Before this time point, various things happened frequently, but after the Evil God was defeated by the god summoned by the "God Summoner" rumored by the city's ring mages, it seemed that all evil in this city had disappeared along with it...

This was of course impossible; it was just Xia De's illusion. The short peaceful time was purely because he had almost not gone out recently.

Yi Lu Na temporarily left Tobesk on Monday to go to the Holy See of the Sun Church to accept inquiries about 【Whispering Poem Chapter】. It wasn't just inquiries; there seemed to be some rewards, but this would have to wait until she returned next week. Luweiya was busy divining the next chosen one and had no time to deal with Xia De. Miss Louisa and Doctor Shi Nai De were both troubled by the exam week. The former's ancient literature was a big trouble, and the latter's 【Ether Mechanics】 made the professional psychologist almost get a mental illness. Priest Ao Gu Si was entangled by the exam week and the preparation for the Holy Prayer Festival; he was the one with the most things to do this week.

As for Miss Galina, I don't know if she was recuperating or doing other things, but she didn't contact Xia De this week either.

Plus, his luck was bad. For the five full days from Monday to Friday, no clients came to the door, so Xia De spent a relatively leisurely time since coming to this world.

The days of reading at home, organizing the old documents of Detective Sparrow, and living with Mia made Xia De, who had been busy for a while, feel relaxed.

The appraisal of 【Founding·Balance】 went very smoothly on Sunday. On Monday, Xia De tried to actively contact Miss Daniester again using the poem paper page he possessed. According to the list obtained from the past, he wanted to ask Miss Daniester to find some information about the Old God "Yaobian Door" from the academy library.

He didn't know whether Miss Mana Feilianna had left any information about the appearance of future ring mages for future generations when establishing St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, but judging from Miss Daniester's reaction, it was highly likely that she hadn't.

Just like the first time travel, except for that story, almost no traces of Xia De were left. Even if there were traces left by the second time travel, it was thought that it would only be a small splash. Traveling through the time key wouldn't trigger a time paradox. Even if Xia De's travel process was different from others, it wouldn't let him wantonly use travel after travel to influence the past.

Thinking about it this way, even if the Old God 【Father of Infinite Trees】 left, His power really existed in the entire continuous timeline of the material world.

The information given by Miss Daniester was sent through the poem paper page on Tuesday night, but Xia De didn't choose to use the time key of the 3002nd year of the General Era for the second time on Thursday night.

On one hand, it was because he didn't want to be distracted before the exam on Saturday. After all, the exam wasn't just memorizing textbooks and doing fill-in-the-blank questions. Even if the "other self" in his head had a photographic memory, he still had to prepare himself. On the other hand, the first opportunity of the key for the 3002nd year of the Fifth Era had been "wasted." Before confirming what problem was encountered in the ritual of contacting the Old God "Yaobian Door," Xia De wanted to prepare seriously before facing it.

This wasn't just because he was worried about not completing the task and not getting the reward given by the Old God. It was even more because Miss Feilianna helped him last week, and Xia De also wanted to try his best to give back.

Therefore, he didn't use the time key when he should have. Xia De planned to seriously organize the information obtained from the Red Moon Witch, Priest Ao Gu Si, Luweiya, and Miss Beiyasi on Sunday after the exam ended, and then open the second trip to the 3002nd year at 12:00 on Sunday night after the exam ended.

Of course, the time of this whole week wasn't just used to prepare for the written exam. Xia De had already submitted the application to advance to the second year this summer to the academy through the doctor. The news from the academy was to let him complete all compulsory subjects first, and there was no need to worry about practical credits. Whether the application was passed would be announced on the day of the exam.

So, Xia De first spent half a pound of tuition and 7 shillings of material fees on Tuesday afternoon to learn the full production method of "Alchemical Item - Eternal Candle" from Old John. This was the most complex alchemical item involved in 【Introduction to Elementary Alchemy】. If he only relied on the book content to learn by himself, he could also learn to make it, but he definitely wouldn't learn it in half a day.

Actually, it was also possible to choose simpler alchemical items as the final assignment, but Xia De was still thinking about being able to have a higher grade evaluation, so he chose the Eternal Candle.

The production of alchemical items didn't encounter trouble, and the configuration of potions didn't encounter trouble either. On Wednesday morning, Xia De visited Priest Ao Gu Si as agreed. Because he went relatively early, he mixed in a few small cookies as holy communion before meeting Bishop Owen.

The Holy Prayer Festival was arranged on the Tuesday after the exam week, which was the 30th day of the Thunder Month. Not being before the exam on Saturday really made Priest Ao Gu Si, who had been under amazing pressure recently, breathe a sigh of relief.

Bishop Owen wanted to confirm whether Xia De could participate in the activity next Tuesday. The church intended to arrange a speech for "Hamilton of Lei Jiede" to promote 【Mr. Dawn】 loving all people through his encounter.

Xia De certainly wouldn't refuse. The happy old bishop then hinted that this speech would definitely have an appearance fee.

Besides the Holy Prayer Festival, the three even talked about what happened on Thursday night in the Tobesk diocese from the perspective of ordinary people. Although there were two ring mages present, they both pretended to know nothing about the so-called Evil God, but focused on discussing the poisoning incident.

"Actually, I also drank the milk from the Silver Parrot Delivery Company before. But I just happened to forget to renew my subscription not long ago, so I luckily escaped a disaster. This once again proves that 【Mr. Dawn】 is indeed protecting his believers."

Xia De commented on his encounter like this, and then drew a holy emblem on his chest in a decent manner.

His performance was greatly appreciated by Bishop Owen. The bishop was very satisfied with this new believer:

"Mr. Hamilton, do you have no fixed way to order milk now? It doesn't matter. In the future, I will let the worker from the countryside who delivers milk to the church also deliver a portion to you."

"Actually, I also ordered goat milk..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll have it delivered together. Please rest assured, the milk ordered by the church is absolutely safe."

Although this "absolute" sentence structure made Xia De worried, Priest Ao Gu Si let him rest assured when he led Xia De away from the church later:

"The children in the church won't have problems drinking milk. If the church can't even guarantee this, then we might as well donate the church to other churches... This metaphor seems to have a problem, just pretend I didn't say anything. Moreover, now in the entire Tobesk area, even if you look carefully, it's hard to find problematic milk. Xia De, do you know? Since last Thursday, all milk delivery companies in the city have undergone strict inspections and rectifications."

From this perspective, the things the cultists made in the Thunder Month of the summer of 1853 directly promoted that there would be no more milk safety accidents in the city for decades. This should be considered an unexpected joy.

Xia De wasn't church personnel, so he could only hear bits and pieces about the aftermath of the God descent incident from Priest Ao Gu Si. The cultists who believed in the Lord of Blood Feast were truly wiped out in one fell swoop. Except for a few cult members who were not in the local area, the entire cult organization could almost be considered uprooted.

And the Silver-Eyed One of 【Mercury Blood】 was killed on Thursday night. When the church dealt with the cultists, it incidentally wiped out the already loose illegal organization.

But 【Mercury Blood】 wasn't completely uprooted, because some members of the organization themselves thought that assisting cultists in summoning the Evil God was a stupid idea.

Therefore, before the God descent ritual on Thursday night, a group of people left Tobesk in advance. According to the church's investigation, the split 【Mercury Blood】 had more than ten ring mages who planned to go to the west coast of the Old Continent and then go to the New Continent by sea. 【Blood Spirit School】 welcomed their joining very much.

Of course, the news most closely related to Xia De was that the title of "Masked Man under the Silver Moon" had become history, and his new code name was "God Summoner," which very simply explained what he had actually done.

The church was tight-lipped about the news of the "God Summoner," and the news from the local black market was only guessing that the other party was a Thirteen Ring mage and could summon the power of the Old God who had already left.

But no one dared to discuss this matter too much. People in this world were born with awe of gods. But the church didn't give up looking for the person who truly saved Tobesk, and even released news that they wanted to award him a medal.

Divination and more methods were all trying to find that Thirteen Ring mage, but it was a pity that the final result they obtained was even more ridiculous than the people in Coldwater Port City thinking Xia De was a "terrifying mermaid from the deep sea."

"Now the church thinks that the Thirteen Ring male God Summoner is an astronomy professor who is proficient in free fighting and criminology, hiding in the university district of Tobesk City, and living with a retired lame doctor."

This was the news Xia De heard from Priest Ao Gu Si. God knows how this outrageous news was obtained.

Besides the church, St. Byrons in the far north was also investigating the truth of Thursday night. The practical credit reward number on the academy's bounty order was even enough for Xia De to advance from the first year to the second year ten times.

The doctor wrote to inform the four members of the group on Monday to write down what they saw and heard on Thursday night and mail it to him. Although the church would share information, the academy wanted to know more details about that night, and the local ring mage group naturally became the most important first-hand source of information. Xia De certainly knew all the theoretical details, but he didn't dare to write too much, so while reviewing, he wrote some unimportant details to slightly fool around with this matter.

Just like this, after a week of stable time and hard study, Xia De finally ushered in the exam time on Saturday. ===== CHAPTER 294 =====
