Chapter 345

~11 min read 2,075 words

Half an hour later, Luweiya, who had returned to the second floor, finally learned from Xia De about the Ancient God statue and all his experiences in Lengshuigang City. Of course, for the young girl who adventured with him, in order to protect Duo Luo Qian's privacy, Xia De only said it was a friend he met when he went to Lengshuigang last time.

"Although there may be other accidents that meet the prophecy of the "Whispering Chapter" in the past half year, you appeared there inexplicably, no matter how you think about it, it's not right. Xia De, even without divination, I can almost be sure that the new fragment of the "Whispering Chapter" discovered from the New Continent refers to the accident you encountered."

Luweiya seemed a bit anxious:

"But how could it be? How could it be so coincidental that you encountered it?"

"Thinking about these now is useless, the key is to confirm the other party's identity."

Xia De picked up the small bag containing coins and shook it:

"Actually, I have other things I want you to help me divine, but judging from the current situation, the matter of the second Chosen One is equally urgent. Luweiya, I want to ask you to help me divine a God-calling ritual, can you estimate how many coins it will cost?"

"It's hard to say, divination pointing to the gods will definitely not be simple. And, the efficiency of different coins is also different."

"Alright then."

Xia De thought for a while and made up his mind, handing the 【Universal Currency】 to her:

"First help me divine, what time can I find the doomsday academic organization I entrusted Professor Manning to help find, and can I find the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 from this, and does the latter have the news I need?"

Luweiya didn't know Professor Manning, nor did she know the 【Light-Guiding Cult】, but she vaguely guessed that this was related to Xia De's time travel:

"Coins are one less when spent, are you sure you don't use all the coins to help you get the answer directly?"

She was very worried:

"These 【Relics】 were found by you, you have the freedom to choose what to do with them."

"There is more than one way to get the answer, please divine."

Xia De said.

Actually, strictly speaking, the third time in 3002 is not urgent at all, Xia De can even spend a lifetime looking for the answer. Therefore, he would take the risk, first waste a coin to divine the harvest from Professor Manning's side, and then go to determine how the remaining 10 coins should be allocated.

"Okay, then I'll start."

The purple-eyed fortune teller closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then flicked the coin in her hand. As the coin flew to the apex, the coin quickly rusted and decayed until it scattered into a pile of fly ash in the air. And before the fly ash all fell, it had already dissolved in the air.

This time, Xia De did not see the relatively mature but physically incomplete figure behind her when Luweiya was divining.

"How is it?"

Luweiya opened her eyes, her purple pupils seemed to be flashing for a moment:

"Very smooth, although this 【Universal Currency】 is not highly rated, its usage efficiency is higher than blood money. Your professor friend has a wide circle of friends and will find the person you want to find for you within this week and bring you the answer you want to know. Although there may be some small troubles, overall, you will get everything you want to know."

This answer made Xia De breathe a sigh of relief. Although Professor Manning's hobbies were a bit unique, this senior archaeology professor was still very reliable. Xia De was really right to ask him for help.

"Since that's the case, let's take a look at what the remaining ten coins are."

He pointed to the small cloth bag on the table again:

"Put on gloves, try not to touch them, once you find a problem, immediately put them into the 【God's Gift Box】 for containment."

"No problem, I'll check. Xia De, don't refuse, I am a Third Ring and you are a Second Ring, there is no reason for you to come. And even if I get some curse, as long as it is consumed, the curse will naturally be lifted."

Xia De controlled his cat, and Luweiya, who put on gloves, carefully untied the straw rope on the cloth bag. The bag was just an ordinary item, actually just a piece of rag. After opening it, ten coins appeared, a total of three types.

The two were most familiar with 【Pirate's Blood Money】, there were three in total, which were these three coins that made Xia De have a sense before the pirate ship appeared.

Xia De didn't know the other two types, but Luweiya knew them. In order to raise coins for divination, she had consulted a lot of materials:

"Don't worry, there is no curse on the other two types of coins."

Although she said so, Luweiya didn't take off her gloves.

First, she picked up the smallest black coin among them. The radius of this coin was only about two-thirds the size of a one-penny small copper coin. But the temperature of the coin itself was very low. Even if Xia De didn't touch it directly, he had felt that kind of chill that seemed to freeze the bone marrow when separated by the bag.

"This is a Poet-level relic 【Death's Atonement Coin】. Don't be scared by the name, its effect is very small. For those who are about to die naturally, holding the coin, each one can let oneself live 1 more week. And within this week, the coin cannot leave the skin, and each person can use at most 5."

"What? Isn't this very useful?"

Xia De asked in confusion:

"How is it only Poet-level?"

"Useful?"

Luweiya shook her head, her brown short hair swaying with the movement:

"Xia De, how many people do you think can live to natural death in our era? The definition of natural death is that body functions naturally reach the end, not dying of illness. Think carefully, Xia De, how many people do you think can die naturally?"

Xia De was stunned for a moment, then slowly leaned back, letting himself lean on the sofa. Even in his hometown, it was very difficult to die naturally. And in this world, the life of the bottom people determined that they basically couldn't live past 50 years old, and as for the upper-class nobles and rich merchants, they were also limited by the scarce medical resources of this era and affected by environmental problems brought about by the development of steam industry.

The difficulty for Ringed Shushi to die naturally was even greater, this was not a safe profession.

"The negative characteristics of 【Death's Atonement Coin】 lie in that if a living person touches it for a long time, it will accelerate their own aging and make their luck worse, so we will consume this first in a while, there is no benefit in keeping this thing. I have always believed that instead of preparing for after death, it is better to think more about the things in front of you."

She handed the coin to Xia De for inspection, and Xia De found tiny engravings on the side of the coin:

【Atone to the God of Death, perhaps you can get mercy.】

There were three 【Pirate's Blood Money】 in total, and five 【Death's Atonement Coin】 in total. The last two were gold coins, about the same size as a 1-shilling silver coin. Compared with the first two types of coins with simple styles, the last two gold coins had extremely complex patterns on both the front and back.

The front side Xia De thought was a cluster of flowers, and the back side he thought was a portrait of an unknown big-nosed man.

Luweiya still picked one up very casually, it seemed there was no curse on this one either:

"I know this one too, Document-level relic 【Kohlmo Empire Civilization Gold Coin】."

"What is Kohlmo Empire? A kingdom of the Fifth Era? Or even earlier?"

Xia De only studied one book of history, and was not familiar with history before the era.

"Cannot answer you, when people discovered these gold coins, there was a document that called them this name. Any materials of the church and the academy cannot find this Kohlmo Empire. From the analysis of that document, this might be a human kingdom of the Fourth Era, but the traces and information of the entire kingdom were erased by great power."

Xia De moved uneasily on the sofa and asked again:

"Specific effect?"

"Different from 【Death's Atonement Coin】 with unknown quantity, 【Kohlmo Empire Gold Coin】 is very certain that there are 285 in total. Each effect is the same, blow on the gold coin and put it to the ear, you can hear some wonderful sounds. Listening at high frequency for a long time can obtain some strange knowledge. The academy has always believed that it is the knowledge of the lost Kohlmo Empire. That kingdom, together with civilization, was cast into 285 gold coins by some kind of existence."

This kind of statement made Xia De feel even more uncomfortable.

Luweiya stacked the 10 coins of three types into three piles on the desktop, her purple eyes looking at Xia De:

"Then, what do you choose to divine?"

"Luweiya, can your body withstand using so many coins for divination?"

Xia De asked this question first, and the purple-eyed fortune teller showed a smile:

"It doesn't matter, it's not permanent damage, just a bit mentally exhausting."

"That's good, I still have a blood money left here, so you must also have a blood money in your hand, which is convenient to continue searching."

Xia De took one out from the table and pushed it to Luweiya, so there were only nine left.

"Now there are two things that need divination, although Professor Manning's side can find the person I want to find, but we must also guard against other situations. And, in our daily life, we might encounter other things that need divination."

Xia De put a 【Kohlmo Empire Gold Coin】 and a 【Death's Atonement Coin】 into the box, now there were seven left, which were two blood money, one gold coin and four atonement coins.

"Okay, let's use these for divination. First, determine whether the pirate accident pointed out in the newly discovered stone tablet is the one I encountered."

Xia De said, and Luweiya picked up the atonement coin. The coin was thrown away, and when it fell, it scattered into fly ash and disappeared:

"The divination efficiency of 【Atonement Coin】 is much worse than blood money. However, you have already given specific information, so it is simpler to divine, yes, it is the one you encountered. Xia De, calculating like this, you have encountered the Chosen One twice in a row."

She teased, and Xia De shook his head:

"Then determine the gender of the Chosen One. There were more than ten people who finally jumped off the ship to escape, we will screen the conditions one by one."

"No problem."

She picked up an atonement coin again, but nothing happened after throwing it away. It seems that involving specific information about the Chosen One, one cannot get an answer.

Two still had no results, and after spending three, the two finally saw the coin turn into fly ash in the air:

"A very certain answer, male."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, so it couldn't be Princess Princess Lei Qianya. But he immediately realized one thing, pointing to himself with some hesitation:

"Luweiya, is it possible..."

"Although you are also male and were also on that ship, it is absolutely impossible to be you, Xia De, I have said it many times. You can think carefully, do you have any special ability related to 'darkness'? A special power that can rival Yi Lu Na's 'balance'."

Her tone was very gentle, as if Xia De was a child who kept saying silly things.

Xia De thought for a while:

"Does it count if I can glow in the dark?"

Now, the look Luweiya gave him was like looking at a silly child.
