Chapter 2970

"This is easy to handle. You take this. When you need me, just find a corpse and bury this in the corpse's chest, and I can remotely control that corpse."

What Priest Augustus gave Xia De was a small piece of pale bone, but it shouldn't be the angel remains Xia De found. As for the priest's method, although it didn't sound like something a positive character should use, when Xia De first joined the group, Dr. Schneider said that Rat Augustus was good at undead-type miracles.

If Xia De remembered correctly, the priest himself also said that he knew a very exquisite "Corpse Explosion".

After agreeing on the plan with Priest Augustus, Xia De also purchased a batch of potions from him as an important supply for the upcoming Battle of Vesta Woodland, and then continued to take little Mia to Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic in the east of the city.

He got off the carriage and looked up to see that the lights were on in every window of the psychological clinic. He was originally worried that the doctor was receiving patients, but fortunately, after reporting to the maid at the front desk, the doctor appeared soon:

"Let's go, let's go to the second-floor reception room."

"Are there no patients now?"

"Of course there are, I am a very busy person. But the patient was just hypnotized to sleep by me, so now there is an hour... I don't need to look back to know what you are thinking now."

The doctor led Xia De up the stairs:

"It's a patient with insomnia. Although I do charge by time here, I don't use hypnotic therapy on all patients."

Xia De, holding the cat, asked curiously:

"But does insomnia also belong to the scope of the psychological clinic?"

"Detective, theoretically speaking, as long as people are willing to pay, I can see any disease."

After sitting down in the familiar reception room, Xia De told the things he had told Priest Augustus once again. The doctor listened carefully, but the first thing he felt was not that the big battle was coming:

"So everyone should be able to return one after another next week, right? Do you know? Every Saturday you don't come to my place for a meeting, I'm really not used to it. Last Saturday, the old priest came, but he brought a bottle of wine, and the two of us drank and chatted for an afternoon. I hope everyone still remembers the exam week around the Year-End Festival. Now there is still a month and a half left. Even if you are busy saving the world, you can't forget the annual exam."

He joked with a smile, and Xia De also laughed:

"If things go well, the group meeting next Saturday can proceed normally. By then, you can urge everyone's review progress again."

When Xia De said this, he also had a feeling that normal life was about to return:

"Then Doctor, how are you recovering now? Can you take action to help?"

The doctor nodded:

"No problem, the power of the demon and the hunter has reached a basic balance, and I have also adapted to the current Tenth-Tier state. However, yesterday I heard from Old John about the big event in Vesta Woodland two days ago. You can smash the moon with one blow, do you still need my help now?"

"Are you talking about the Crazy Moon incident? I also saw the news that Old John wrote a letter to my house asking me to go to his place when I have time. I'll go in a while."

Xia De sighed and stroked the cat, but the cat was very happy:

"That was not my normal state, it was that moon that gave me abnormal power. And besides me, there were three Thirteenth-Tier Shushi present at that time."

If possible, Xia De also wanted to reproduce the situation that night. The power of that blow even surpassed the blow of a normal demigod. But unfortunately, after the Crazy Moon receded, neither Xia De nor the three ladies who cast spells in his palm at that time could find back the state at that time.

Although if the "Crazy Moon" appeared again, they might be able to do it again. But to trigger another disaster to block the Ancient One, this was a bit too exaggerated. Xia De planned to discuss with Miss Olanode after returning. Even if he couldn't fully restore that blow, it would be a good thing to have five or six points of restoration.

He still had one chance to summon the projection of Miss Helena Carter, and by then the three Thirteenth-Tier female Shushi would be able to gather again.

In short, the doctor could go to Vesta Woodland to help, but Xia De didn't plan to let the doctor participate in things in the city, nor did he plan to let him help guard the city:

"I don't know what will happen tomorrow night, Doctor. You wait for us in the forest by then. No matter what happens in front, the final battle will definitely take place in the forest."

Of course, Xia De was not expecting the doctor to be able to defeat the Ancient One, he just hoped that when he and Emilia went to the forest, the doctor could solve other troubles blocking the way.

"This is better. If I were active in the city, I would have to worry about how to use this power. Having gained such a big improvement, I am actually very curious about how powerful I am now. This time can be considered as giving me a chance to play."

The doctor handed the mirror used to summon him to Xia De again:

"It's no longer just midnight that you can summon me. As long as it's between 7:00 PM and 3:00 AM, you can call me over at any time."

"That's good, then please clear all the time tomorrow night, I may call you at any time. Doctor, although I have asked you for many favors before, I'm afraid this time will be more dangerous than any other time."

The doctor laughed:

"I don't believe it's more dangerous than Moon Bay this summer. However, you are not sure yourself, right? Or rather, you are worried about something, right?"

Xia De sat opposite him without speaking, and the middle-aged psychologist got up and poured him a cup of tea:

"When I was as young as you, I also had a long time when I was still striding forward, but I was very worried and panicked about future things. You are much luckier than me. At that time, I was alone, but you have lovers, friends, oh, and cute pets."

"Meow~"

The cat on his lap meowed because Xia De put the teacup on it.

"Doctor, actually an hour and a half ago, someone just said to me that an uncertain future makes people move forward with yearning. But now I wish I could know what will happen in the future immediately. I am really worried."

He expressed his current worries to Dr. Schneider. Bill Schneider still had a smile on his face. He had experienced many things to get to where he was today, and he had more stories than the Outsider who had only been in this world for more than a year. He understood the mood of the young man opposite the coffee table:

"So in order not to let yourself regret in the future, prepare more for the future now. Besides, once you get busy, you can also temporarily forget your worries.

Xia De, don't let worries and concerns become stumbling blocks for you to move forward. Most of the stumbling blocks in people's life paths are just ourselves... Maybe I really have the potential to become a writer."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Xia De went directly to Old John's pawnshop. The pawnshop's business never seemed to be very good. On this Friday without daylight, the entire shopping street had no business. Probably to save gas costs, the gas lamps in the pawnshop were only turned on to the lowest level.

It was just that seeing Xia De enter the door with the cat, the old man who was checking the account book behind the counter turned the old-fashioned lotus-leaf-mouth gas table lamp on the table, which could be called an antique, a little brighter.

"Good morning, Old John, are you looking for me for something? The final battle is being prepared in Vesta Woodland, I am very busy today."

Xia De shook the letter in his hand at him, and the old man took off his reading glasses without beating around the bush with Xia De:

"I know you are busy. I have prepared some things for you that you can use. I won't let you come for nothing. I just want to talk to you about the night of the 'Crazy Moon'. I want to represent the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 to confirm whether there are still ancient gods in our era."

"Why ask me this question? I don't know either."

Xia De shook his head and reached out to pull the two suitcases that Old John moved to the counter. In the boxes were alchemy tools and potions, and each one had a label. It looked like internal supplies of the 【Light-Guiding Cult】. Xia De had only heard the names of many potions in books.

Estimating the selling price, if he bought it directly with money, the price of these materials would definitely exceed four digits of gold pounds, and it might not be bought. So this was definitely not prepared by Old John privately for Xia De, it should be a favor given by the Cult to the "God-Caller".

"I won't hide it from you. In fact, we have always suspected that the ancient gods that the God-Caller calls every time are not the ancient gods whose names have disappeared in the long river of history. He, sorry, she is actually calling the Moon Sage."

"Why do you think so?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, so the old man behind the counter lowered his voice and replied:

"Although it is now the Sixth Era, it has been quite a long time since the era when the ancient gods left, but this does not mean that all materials related to the ancient gods have disappeared. There are actually many descriptions of that ancient moon god. The performance of the God-Caller calling gods many times has already explained the problem. So, our era..."

"I really don't know. It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really don't know. But I think it is highly likely that the ancient gods have all left. I also once hoped that those gods who were older than the world itself in the legends were still watching the material world, but I have prayed many times and have never received a direct response."

Hearing him say this, Old John sighed with some regret:

"Okay, this is also within expectations. So, the God-Caller is actually calling the power of the gods of the past, as the Church estimated? No, no, you don't need to answer me. Knowing that the ancient gods are really gone is enough."

He said and took out a small pocket from under the counter;

"Our Cult is not a large Ringed Shushi organization, nor does it have two Thirteenth-Tier like the Witch Council. In this Battle of Vesta Woodland, we will only send members to wait for the results, and will not directly help the people there. Besides those two boxes of materials, this is for you, I hope it helps."

"What is this? Oh, it's a relic."

Xia De took the small drawstring bag. After opening it and pouring it into his palm, it was a beautiful silver-blue glass. The "glass" itself was irregular in shape, but the exterior was approximately a rhombus with a concave arc. A constellation pattern consisting of five stars was drawn on its surface. In fact, it was just five glowing bright spots and silver lines connected to each other, but Xia De didn't recognize what constellation this was.

"Keeper-level relic 【Broken Stardust】. It is said that when the original moon shattered, it also tore apart a part of the starry sky. Some star fragments fell into the material world, forming this rare relic."

"Aim it at the moon and say your worries and doubts, perhaps you will get an answer. This is not a consumable type of relic. Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't lose it, you can always make wishes to the starry sky and the moon. It's just that compared to its historical value, it's more like a romantic legend, because very few people can really get an answer."

"Stars that shattered with the moon?"

Xia De held up the piece of "glass" to the light of the gas table lamp on the counter. Through the sparkling light inside the glass, he seemed to really see a corner of the most primitive and ancient starry sky.
