Chapter 37

Still meeting Xia De in that clinic. Compared to "that lady" on the third floor of the club last night, Xia De has a high degree of trust in the doctor, so he told everything that happened last night. He didn't think there were any details that needed to be hidden.

This of course also includes the matter of 【Box of Darkness】, but Xia De blurred the containment out-of-control conditions of the box.

When the doctor heard at the beginning that Xia De encountered the relic's loss of control, he stood up in surprise and paced in the room; when he heard halfway, that is, when Xia De mentioned the sage-level 【Relic】, he stood there covering his forehead; when he heard the crazy idea of that "Silver-Eyed One," he groaned undisguisedly:

"What a lunatic, I knew before that 【Mercury Blood】 was in the New World, trying to use the unique minerals there for alchemy, I didn't expect that they really came to Tobesk."

He was very satisfied with Xia De's performance in the face of 【Box of Darkness】, but did not think that 【Silver Moon Light Technique】 had much value. There are too many such wonders. The light technique in Xia De's description, although a bit too bright, is not too unique.

And regarding Xia De's behavior of trading the statue with the remnants of the Old God to others, the doctor thought he did the right thing. Even regarding the woman possibly learning about the five-person correspondence group through Xia De, he didn't care much:

"There are actually quite a few people who know of our existence, otherwise how to exchange materials and knowledge with others, and how to find those talented people to help? Do we have to wear masks every time? As long as it is not the Orthodox Church, the fact that the other party is willing to trade with a low-ring Shushi like you means she is very friendly."

As for the speculation about the woman's identity, the doctor couldn't think of who it might be, but he also thought that the other party's Ringed Shushi level was very high, otherwise there was no reason to discover Xia De in that way, and know the specific information about the sage-level relic.

"Anyway, this is a good thing. You didn't risk your life, and you obtained a rare curse and a very good 【Relic】. I think this should be considered lucky. This world is not safe, and you don't have such luck every time."

The doctor finally made a conclusion about this matter.

"Is it considered lucky?"

Xia De asked, but thinking about it, this seems really lucky.

The evil god statue with the remnants of the Old God, although Xia De could only obtain knowledge by touching it for the first time, its actual value is definitely far greater than that document-level ring. But if you add the free information and knowledge, and Xia De's unintentional behavior of making 【Box of Darkness】 lose control, this trade can barely be called a "fair trade."

More importantly, "that lady" is much stronger than Xia De.

The doctor didn't care much about "that lady" in the club. After all, this is the capital of the Northern Kingdom of the Old World. It is possible for any Ringed Shushi to emerge. He cares about 【Mercury Blood】:

"In fact, the academy has also recently issued tasks related to the 【Mercury Blood】 organization, and I even prepared to participate... It seems that I still need to consider it, sage-level..."

The doctor muttered to himself, and then looked up at Xia De:

"Xia De, overall you handled this matter quite well. You didn't encounter danger yourself, and you properly handled the trade with an unknown Ringed Shushi, and provided valuable information for the group. You can be considered to have started, this is the general appearance of your future life.

But this information is quite useful, maybe I should give you some rewards. Don't refuse, although the five of us belong to the same group and are very likely to cross the Northern Great Ice Sheet together in the future, some things need to be calculated clearly. Ordinary information can be shared at will, but this time it involves this kind of thing..."

He thought about it:

"How about four pounds, the other four people will give you one pound each. This news is probably worth this much."

Such important inside information, if taken to the black market to sell, is of course more than four pounds,

But sharing within the five-person group cannot be at that price. Four pounds is not a return of benefits to Xia De, but a commendation for his contribution to the group. The two are of course essentially different, representing that the relationship between the five is not a pure exchange of interests.

"Four pounds, this is equivalent to me leading young Franklin back from the club eight times, and also equivalent to more than one orange cat Little Mia."

Xia De converted in his heart and drew an equal sign between these three relationships. He didn't covet more, so he smiled at the doctor:

"Of course, this is very good. But doctor, I didn't say the information about Lady Lasoya last night. Will this matter have any impact?"

He then took this opportunity to ask for advice. Dr. Schneider shook his head:

"Since the other party didn't ask, you are not qualified to say. But don't contact the lady you mentioned again. The other party is probably a member of 【Mercury Blood】. However, I haven't heard that they possess a 【Relic】 that can change gender. I think it is also prepared for the synthesis formula of 【Mercury Blood】. The difficulty of that academy bounty order is greater than I imagined."

The doctor frowned:

"In short, don't contact anything related to 【Mercury Blood】 again.

I will probably do some things in the near future, but I am a Five-Ring Shushi, you are not. 【Mercury Blood】 is a group of lunatics who always think they can make the legendary angel-level relic, but how is this possible?"

"That's true, if angel-level 【Relics】 could appear at will, then this world would be too crazy."

Xia De also said so, and he really thought so.

The blue-eyed doctor seemed to have had an intersection with this organization, but didn't intend to share it with Xia De, so he changed the topic:

"Xia De, now your task is to learn more about common sense of life and start your detective career. Contact the ordinary world more. When you advance to the Second Ring, or have enough powerful power, consider participating in the shadows of Tobesk. This crazy world will always be crazier than you think."

"Then doctor, is the academy always like this, hiding key information from us?"

Xia De took the opportunity to ask, but the doctor unexpectedly shook his head:

"Don't think of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy too harshly. They usually share appropriate information with us at the appropriate time."

"Then when is the appropriate time?"

Xia De asked again, and then saw Dr. Schneider leaning back slightly on the single sofa:

"Only they know that themselves."

After leaving Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic, except for hearing at noon that the alley opposite the Silver Parrot Milk Company had an accidental gas explosion last night, nothing worth remembering happened this day.

No illegal organization came to the door, no generous client rang the bell downstairs, no acquaintance of Sparrow Hamilton came to find him, but Xia De's research at home alone actually had gains.

He was still completely unable to trigger any power of 【Time and Space】, but for 【Silver Moon】, probably because of the breakthrough use on the third floor of the club, now besides the light technique, Xia De could already let those 【Silver Moon】 rays attach to external objects.

In one of the most successful attempts, he let the orange cat "Little Mia," who was gradually becoming affectionate to him, emit light for ten consecutive seconds.

Such an act scared the cat into running around in the house, and even ran to the third floor of this apartment through the broken stairs.

Xia De spent a long time calling the escaped cat back, and because of this, guessed whether the detective had hidden his gun in the closed first floor, the unreachable third floor, or the uninhabited Room 2 on the second floor.

Unfortunately, without enough tools in hand, he could not go to these three places to investigate. But investigating these places has also been included in Xia De's schedule. After all, he must confirm that the house he lives in is absolutely safe.
