Chapter 3398: Xia De Delivering Late-Night Snacks

Agreeing with Danister on the time for Xia De to pick her up tomorrow, Xia De returned home with the information about the pseudo-humans he got from the Church of Creation, using the crystal shoes.

The time was only past seven o'clock, and only Little Mia was at home.

Xia De knew that Galina had been busy with war mobilization and other things recently. As the aunt of King Larrus III, she was more trusted than those princesses and princes; Raxia and Dorothy stayed over last night and had to make up for tomorrow's classes on Sunday, so it was normal for them not to appear tonight, but he didn't expect Luweiya not to come either.

He wanted to talk to Luweiya about the three people from the association he met today, the special ink on the letter from a hundred years ago, and the matters of 【Fate Pedestal】 and 【History of the Ages】. So after returning home and thinking about it, he rarely took the initiative to activate the "Indestructible Fire Seal" to probe the location of the owner of the fire seal.

In the Tobesk area, Little Mia was by his side. Galina and Raxia were indeed both in Raxia's study in the Yodel Palace, and it seemed they were both teaching Angelina; Dorothy was not in the apartment, but at Luweiya's house, it seemed she had returned to her parents' house for a short stay; Luweiya was also not in the apartment, but her location was not far, just at the Seer Society opposite the Yodel Palace.

"Is this working overtime?"

Xia De thought in his heart, turned to look at the kitchen, the ruby from last time seemed to have some consumption times left:

"I need a suitable late-night snack."

He thought in his heart, and then reached out to the cat on the back of the sofa. Little Mia jumped into the air and landed on Xia De's palm, then nimbly ran onto his shoulder along his arm:

"We're going out."

"Meow~"

"Don't run yet, listen to me. We're not going far, just to find Luweiya, and then we'll come back."

"Meow~"

Only then did it squat down obediently on Xia De's shoulder.

Unless there is an important competition, the Seer Society rarely works overtime because of Luo De Pai business. There has been no important competition in the Tobesk area recently, so Luweiya working overtime is probably because of things involving supernatural power in the association, which is the pseudo-humans.

The gas street lamps on Silver Cross Avenue were still so bright, and the snow on the street had been cleared and piled up by the wall on the side of the road. At this time, even on this main road of the city, there were few pedestrians. And when Xia De arrived in front of the association gate, he indeed found that the lights were on in some rooms on the third floor.

The doorman knew Xia De, or rather, everyone in the association knew him. After Xia De held up the food box to signal, the doorman smiled and let Xia De in:

"You wait in the lobby on the first floor, I'll go notify."

This is to prevent Xia De from seeing the secrets of the association.

Not long after, Luweiya walked downstairs with the doorman. At this time, Xia De was in the association lobby, looking at the oil painting of 【Founding · Fate】 hanging on the wall.

"Xia De~"

The purple-eyed girl looked at Xia De's appearance of carrying a cat and a food box, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart:

"Why didn't you handle your things at home?"

"I saw that the lights were still on in the association at home, so I thought maybe you hadn't finished work yet."

Xia De said and handed the food box to Luweiya. Luweiya really wanted to say she would eat with Xia De, but she glanced upstairs again:

"Can you wait for me for half an hour? I'll be off work in half an hour, and we'll go home for dinner together."

Xia De made a no-problem gesture, and Luweiya didn't take the food box, but returned to the third floor directly.

And when she walked down in a hurry thirty-five minutes later, wearing a winter cold-proof coat, she saw Xia De playing cards with the doorman in the association lobby. Luweiya originally wanted to wait for Xia De to finish the card game before leaving, but Xia De took the initiative to give up the game and apologized to the doorman, who waved his hand kindly:

"Playing cards shouldn't delay life. I've seen countless gamblers here who don't understand this point. Detective Hamilton, it's good that you can understand."

He stood at the door, watching the two walk away along Silver Cross Avenue under the streetlights, arm in arm.

The reason why Luweiya worked overtime tonight was the same as Xia De's guess, because of the "pseudo-human" matter. Although the church didn't know about the 【House of Rebirth】 for the time being, Galina was secretly investigating, but the church had also realized that the spread of "pseudo-humans" in Tobesk was quite pessimistic.

Therefore, the Five Gods Sect hoped that the local seers could provide necessary assistance, so the association convened seers above the middle ring to discuss the plan to screen for pseudo-humans by means of seers.

"Yesterday, President Stan and several high-ring seers in the area conducted a ritual divination together. President Stan was promoted to the 11th Ring last autumn, and now he can be considered the most outstanding professional seer in the central part of the kingdom.

The association believes that although the spread of 'pseudo-humans' in this city is still in the primary stage, for unknown reasons, several powerful individuals have been born among the pseudo-humans, which are fourth-stage pseudo-humans. We need to eradicate these powerful individuals to slow down the spread of pseudo-humans."

Luweiya explained to Xia De when returning home and going up the stairs. Later, when she washed up and changed into home clothes and came to the restaurant, she heard Xia De talk about what happened today.

Xia De's main task today was to find the two lost relics, and the optional task was to find the reason why the defecting priest returned to the island on the way. Xia De successfully completed both tasks. The skull and the mushroom were returned to the elders, the ink ingredients on the letter from the deserted village were also identified by Mr. Sargent, and as for the special map, Elder Harald was still deciphering it.

Of course, what Luweiya cared about was not these. She carefully asked about Xia De encountering the three people from the Seer Society in the deserted village this afternoon.

Although the old man's appearance was clearly disguised, this could also be considered Xia De's direct contact with the other party. Luweiya looked at the other party's appearance and posture shown in the book Xia De handed over, then asked about Xia De's feeling about the other party, and finally, after a simple divination, Luweiya directly locked onto the other party's identity:

"Last time you mentioned that the elders met them at the Shadow of Helm, I contacted friends at headquarters to inquire. That should be Mr. Antoine Charatu, the Keeper of the association."

Every regular sorcerer organization has a "Keeper," specifically responsible for keeping and guarding knowledge and secrets that are inconvenient for everyone in the organization to know. The professors of the Library Management Academy of the academy are strictly speaking all Keepers.

"Charatu? Have you seen him before?"

"No, but I've heard of him. His work now, speaking of which, is related to the ancestors of Megan and Audrey.

After Laplace Howard defected back then, the association tightened the review standards for joining seers and added the position of Keeper responsible for reviewing the information of seers joining the association. That Mr. Antoine Charatu was responsible for reviewing files when he was young. This is not just looking at information; they need to distinguish for themselves whether the joining seers are credible.

He had already retired and stepped down from this position when I joined, but seers of age in the association all know him."

"Is he very good at identifying people?"

"Yes, he has never misread anyone... Could this be his talent?"

Luweiya's understanding of this old seer all came from the collected information, so the information provided was not particularly detailed:

"I haven't heard that he has any special features before, but it may also be that the association deliberately concealed it. The possibility of him being a candidate is not small, but no conclusion can be drawn yet. I will try to collect more information later, and then use special coins to determine his identity."

Currently, they have two 【Legacy of the Starving】 and two 【Lucky Coins】 in their hands, which can be considered to consume some.

"But there is no rush about Mr. Charatu. I am more concerned about the two relics you mentioned now. No, not the relics you returned to the Fatu people, but those two unknowable-level relics."

She put down her knife and fork and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief:

"From your experience this afternoon, the Seer Society, the Doom Sect, the Clown Troupe, and us, who are suspected of having candidates for the Chosen One, are all looking for the 【Fate Pedestal】 for various reasons?"

"Or rather, they are all looking for this treasure."

The three treasure maps dug out from in front of the grave were placed on the table by Xia De:

"Before leaving the island today, I asked Elder Harald to help look at this map. These strange marks on it are indeed symbols used by the Fatu people to mark maps. This is not text, it's more like a code, so my language proficiency is useless.

The elder helped me reorganize the map, but these symbols are ancient, and even Elder Harald needs time to decipher and study them.

And he told me that after the three maps are combined, what they form is definitely not a map of the entire island, but a map of a certain area. So either the map is incomplete, or the map itself only marks a small area."

"Then let's perform divination."

Luweiya said, and Xia De meant the same thing. He got up and went to the basement to take out the remaining special coins. The purple-eyed girl picked a 【Lucky Coin】, flipped it skillfully in her hand a few times, and then told Xia De:

"If that unknowable-level relic really exists in the treasure, I will definitely not be able to perform divination on its specific location. Not only because of the special nature of the unknowable-level relic, but also because of the powerful characteristics of the 【Fate Pedestal】 itself."

"I only care if such rash divination will hurt you."

Luweiya smiled and shook her head:

"It doesn't matter, at most it's just mental trauma. It's already night now, if there is really mental trauma, it will be fine after a sleep, and tomorrow will be another beautiful day. I'm just thinking, whether I should perform divination on information about the map or information about the treasure."

Seeing Xia De want to open his mouth to give a suggestion, she stretched out a finger and pressed it on his lips:

"I'll do it myself, don't worry, I won't hurt myself." ===== CHAPTER 3399 =====
