Chapter 3127: Observer Card - Outsider

The illusion used when everyone retreated just now was Xia De's work, the anti-divination method was Luweiya's handiwork, and the swallowing of the pigeons was a defensive measure Priest Ao Gu Si had prepared in advance when entering the cemetery.

The five people did not escape together, but fled separately. Among them, Xia De transformed into a cat after casting the illusion and jumped onto a tree, then used "Lagley's Jump" and the cat's agile body to hide behind the numerous tombstones and quickly left the cemetery.

By the time he found the carriage hidden in the nearby woods, he discovered that he was not the first to return. The writer miss, who was also proficient in spatial power, seemed to have been back for a long while:

"Wait a minute, I need to verify if you are the detective!"

She jumped down from the coachman's position and said with a smile, but hugged Xia De without asking anything.

Afterward, Priest Ao Gu Si appeared, while the doctor returned five minutes late:

"I stayed outside the cemetery for a while to make sure the Church of Peace squad didn't follow before coming back. They went to chase the two cultists, and as for that puppet, it seemed to have disappeared directly... Why are there only four people? Where is our diviner?"

They waited for another five minutes and didn't see Luweiya. Xia De, who was a bit worried, took the initiative to offer to look for her, but just as he set off, he saw Luweiya appear in the dim, withered woods:

"What? Why did I come back so late? Didn't you realize that one by one, you either have spatial movement or can fly, and even the cat the detective turned into runs faster than me."

She couldn't help but complain:

"I walked back on my own two legs. Although I carry bone fragments for summoning undead mounts that I bought from the priest, I was worried about being discovered by the Ringed Shushi of the Church of Peace and didn't dare to use them at all."

"I'm really sorry, I should have left with you."

Xia De hurriedly apologized on the side, but Luweiya didn't feel this was Xia De's fault:

"I think after I advance to the ninth ring, it's time to find some convenient movement-type strange incantations. It's good that the Church didn't catch up, but detective, what exactly is in that box?"

"I haven't opened it yet. Should I open it here?"

He asked everyone for their opinions, and the doctor tended to open it immediately:

"If there is danger, or if this is some kind of trap, we will leave immediately. That's better than bringing this inexplicable thing into the city, or even into your home. Or, do you want to throw it away directly?"

Xia De looked at Luweiya. When a diviner is by his side, there's actually no need for him to solve such trivial matters himself. Luweiya flipped a coin, and after seeing it was heads up, she nodded to Xia De:

"Open it and see."

Everyone was actually very curious about what was inside. The mahogany box was actually only the size of two palms, and the surface of the box had exquisite rose-patterned reliefs. Although a slight whisper element could be felt, the whisper element was not particularly strong.

Xia De thought there would be puppet parts or something like that inside, but what he saw after opening it was a golden-red flower that looked like glass material.

That translucent red was very intoxicating, and a faint floral fragrance diffused as soon as the box was opened. Even in such a dim, withered woods, the flower still reflected an extremely bright light from an unknown source.

Priest Ao Gu Si recognized what this was:

"Poet-level relic - Immortal Flower?"

Luweiya also reacted:

"It's actually this thing?"

Everyone, including Xia De, knew this very famous relic. The 【Immortal Flower】, also known as the "Flower That Never Withers" or the "Never-Fading Rose," has only one known characteristic: "Never withers."

The flower, which looks like a work of art, possesses all the physical characteristics that a normal rose should have, including touch. There was a saying before that giving the 【Immortal Flower】 as a gift to others could make it easier to obtain love, but this saying has been falsified.

The 【Immortal Flower】 is not a very rare relic. Although its discovery path is relatively bizarre, because of its "immortal" nature and extremely low negative characteristics, as well as simple containment methods, the quantity of this relic in existence is relatively large.

"I remember that this kind of relic can only be found in flower beds next to the graves of happily married couples. And the only negative characteristic of the relic seems to be that there is a chance of falling into a coma after smelling it. Although there is a risk of not waking up for ordinary people, it is basically harmless to Ringed Shushi.

I did some research on the meaning of this relic in fairy tales when I was at a low ring. I remember that the Zaras Academy of Literature also has some Ringed Shushi researching ways to make the 【Immortal Flower】 wither and fade, but currently, it is only known that 'tears of pain' can make the flower lose its color temporarily."

Duo Luo Qian said. Xia De nodded, took the flower out, and continued to check the box, but didn't find any other items. As for the mahogany box itself, it was not special. He even dismantled the box to look for a sandwich layer, and only restored it with the "Breath of Time" after confirming there were no problems.

"Alright, since it looks like there's no problem, detective, you keep it yourself. We'll leave now. I'll drive you into the city, and then we'll each go home."

The doctor greeted everyone, and together with Priest Ao Gu Si, boarded the coachman's position, while Xia De and the ladies got into the carriage.

"So you guess, what exactly was the Church of Peace doing tonight? Was it to chase the cultists that they encountered the Puppet Theater, or was it to expel the Puppet Theater that they accidentally encountered the cultists?"

When the carriage started bumping in the withered woods, Xia De asked Duo Luo Qian and Luweiya.

Duo Luo Qian didn't care about the Church's purpose; she only cared that there was a Sage-level relic running around locally. Luweiya believed that after Iluna returned, she could be asked to inquire about the news; this shouldn't be a big deal:

"I actually thought a giant spider would appear at the end."

Xia De then laughed:

"So my luck is as good as yours. This time, only the two of us didn't attract the Fate Weaver. Oh, does anyone like this?"

He shook the beautiful rose in the box in his hand again, but the diviner and the writer miss shook their heads together:

"Detective, don't try to be lazy. Year-End Festival gifts can't be filled with this. What we want to see is your intention. You take this thing and give it to Emilia or Ajelina. Come to think of it, have you checked the content on your card?"

"I took a look just now. Except for the final 'Proverb,' there isn't much fresh content."

He took out the card and handed it to the girls. His fingertips rubbed the card face. The unevenness on the card face felt very strange, as if letters in several different languages were arranged at will. The card face itself was a faint silver, but the background was not a vast starry sky. The upper part of the card face was a stage with the curtain drawn, and the lower part of the card face was the auditorium in the darkness, and in the center of the auditorium was a head facing away from the card face.

This was also the only audience.

The letters on the card background were composed of small moons in full moon and crescent moon shapes, so the text was silver—

【Name】: Xia De S. Hamilton

【Race】: Human/■■

【Physical State】: Powerful/Pure/Sacred/Blessed (Multi-source)/Ember of First Fire

【Soul State】: Great/Flawless/Holy/Blessed (Multi-source)/Shadow of the Moon

【Special State】: Balance/Darkness/Death/Wisdom/Earth/Space/Light/Time

【Sins】: Gluttony/Greed/Sloth/Wrath/Apathy/Pride/Prejudice/Cowardice

【Virtues】: Compassion/Courage/Sacrifice/Wisdom/Honesty/Loyalty/Perseverance/Temperance(?)

【Level】: Ringed Shushi - Ninth Ring

【Legend Degree - Branch 1】: God Caller (+4)/Fishman Nemesis/Friend of the Undead/Caller of Ancient Witches/Earth Savior/Lord of Green Island/Enemy of the Evil Dragon/Lord of the Crystal Throne

【Legend Degree - Branch 2】: Butterfly Player/Husband of the Witch (+5)/Board Member of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy/Witch Hunter (+7)/Hero of Carrying Fire

【Legend Degree - Branch 3】: Child of the Moon/Shadow of Crossing Time and Space/Controller of Chaos

【Fortune】: ↑↑↑

【Fate Proverb】: Next Act - Fate

The content displayed on this card face was more and more complex than the previous four, and even some items did not appear on the other four at all.

"Detective, I knew you were definitely not a pure human."

Duo Luo Qian teased with a smile after reading the content above, and felt sorry in her heart, just like Princess Lei Qianya, that "gender" was not displayed here. But even if gender was displayed, no matter what was on it, they would accept it. The girls were pragmatists; as long as it was useful, it was fine.

"Legend degree actually listed three branches."

Xia De cared about this:

"Branch 1 should show achievements. I did call the gods four times, dealing with 【Lord of Blood Feast】, 【Vampire Duke Lao Ai】, 【Stone Heart Demon】, and 【Dragon-Eating Demon】 respectively; Branch 2 corresponds to the achievements I made as a mortal."

That "+5" clearly refers to the five great witches: Miss Jia Lin Na, Megan, Vanessa, Sylvia, and Blaini... Thinking about it this way, Megan and Audrey were indeed considered the same person.

"Branch 3 corresponds to content related to the Ancient Gods? When did I control chaos? I have seen those items in the soul state at the Sin Mansion (Chapter 669). But the soul at that time was only powerful, why has it become great now?"

"Detective, your temperance virtue has a problem. The legend degree label 【Husband of the Witch】 explains the problem very well."

Duo Luo Qian continued to remind with a smile, and then pointed to the label in the physical state column:

"Why can you still be considered pure?"

Then she asked and answered herself:

"Princess Lei Qianya asked me to tell you, it seems that our efforts are not enough."

Xia De also showed a smile, while Luweiya, after skipping the long list of content above, didn't even care about the "Special State" label. She focused on the last sentence:

"The ninth chosen one, is it Fate?"
