Chapter 3728: Invitation from the Prophecy Association

~10 min read 1,918 words

It was not yet nine o'clock, and Luweiya and the others were still waiting for the return of the three on the ship. Ms. Ilese arranged for the maids to prepare supper. Xia De sat at the long table in the banquet hall and briefly explained all the things that had just happened to the girls, especially the things related to the seventh act. After that, he added:

"The Prophecy Association will probably come to me tomorrow, I mean the me in Tobesk. So after I go back tonight, there may be a day or two that I won't come over. During the time I am not on the island, Xiwei, Luweiya, you two are responsible for coordinating the things here."

Although Vanessa has a higher level, Xiwei's management talent is more outstanding. And after the end of the sixth act, Luweiya and a group of fortune tellers who were supported to the town to help were not transferred away by the association, so Luweiya can still be active here.

"Will you come to the island as Xia De Hamilton?"

Xiwei asked, and Xia De nodded:

"There is not much time left before the date given by Mr. Snake. The association will probably not use steam airships, but space crossing means that ordinary people can also bear, so maybe I will appear on the island tomorrow during the day."

"The association will not let the identity of Xia De Hamilton contact us directly. Could it be that we won't meet until the decisive battle?"

Felian asked, then tilted her head and thought:

"Or I can turn into an owl to accompany you. Anyway, the fortune tellers can't see through my owl transformation."

"Cough, cough."

Megan coughed, interrupting Felian's delusion of eating alone:

"Judging from the rules described by Xia De and Claire, the related people of the five candidates should act on the island as freely as possible, and then gather together to start the game at the most appropriate time."

The prophets will definitely not let Xia De live in the association. It is likely that he will live in a local hotel, treat it as a trip to the island, and then wait for Xia De to meet other related people. In this way, although it is still a bit inconvenient, it is no problem for Xia De to return here."

Luweiya also agreed with Megan's view:

"Then Xia De, you also have to be careful... Combining the fact that the King was assassinated recently and you successfully protected him, I feel I know what will happen next. I even have a feeling now that everything is already in your plan."

Xia De laughed:

"Don't say that, I don't have the means of the God of Destiny. In addition, during the time I am away, you pay attention to the matter of 【Ouroboros Pupil】. Since Ms. White mentioned this artifact, I think the right eye that Mr. Snake did not get might still be on the island. Claire, go and flip through the historical data of the Fatuman people again. We only have this clue now."

"In addition, the clue I glimpsed from the mural through the snake pupil, that is, the huge golden snake-shaped rune, also needs to be investigated for its specific origin. That rune cannot be drawn down. Later, let Xiris extract my memory and record it. Luweiya, remember to contact Danister tomorrow morning and let her come and take a look."

"There is a third thing, remember to communicate with Iluna at any time. I want to know the identities of the other three players besides me and Claire's mother. I know the identity of Samuel Anru, but I need to figure out the connection between him and that woman from the 【Misfortune Cult】."

"Leave it to us. And the materials you need to learn the miracle 【Dragon Scale Amulet】, they should be able to be raised by the time you come back."

Luweiya said, and the other girls also smiled and said that Xia De should take this opportunity to rest before the decisive battle, but Xia De did not think he could stay at home for too long.

Then, seeing Xia De take out the glass slipper, the girls stood up from the table together. Xia De hesitated and did not throw the glass slipper:

"What are you doing? Don't be so solemn. I might come back tomorrow."

"Then good night, Xia De, remember to come back early."

"Good night, you also pay attention to safety."

(Little Mia is running...)

If there is anyone who feels surprised that Xia De will no longer go to the Schluch Lake island for the time being, then this person is definitely Galina.

After hearing that the Prophecy Association might come to No. 6 Saint Deran Square at any time, Dorothy moved out of the house with her luggage early Wednesday morning. So at the breakfast table this morning, except for Xia De and the cat, only Galina was left.

Larus III's assassination did not affect her. After the witch asked Xia De about the Q&A with Larus III at the time, she also said something like "Actually, the title of uncle-in-law is quite good."

And at the breakfast table this morning, Galina asked Xia De happily again:

"If the association comes to find you in two days, will you accompany me to do some things today?"

But obviously, the association did not leave Xia De time to accompany the Duchess on a date. At nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, when Xia De was watering the potted plants on the windowsill, the knocking on the door downstairs came.

However, the visitor was not from the Prophecy Association, but Tifa who walked out of the carriage:

"Knight Hamilton, His Majesty the King summons you. Please come with us after changing your clothes. His Majesty the King and the lady are waiting for you."

Saying that, she ordered the carriage to wait at the door first, and she entered the house to help Xia De choose clothes. This was not the head maid looking for an opportunity to have a private meeting with Xia De:

"The local Church wants to ask you about the specific situation on Monday night, and the Prophecy Association has also come. The lady has already been blocking the association from taking you away according to the plan discussed at breakfast."

This time, Little Mia was also brought to Yodel Palace by Xia De. Although it was said that Larus III summoned Xia De, Xia De didn't see Larus III at all, who was still working even though he was lying on the hospital bed after the operation. The bullet was only stuck in the muscle, and his injury was not serious, but he acted as if he was seriously injured. Xia De knew he was acting.

However, what the King's plan was had nothing to do with Xia De. After Xia De arrived at Yodel Palace, he first discussed the process of the assassination incident on Monday night with the ring warlocks of the Dawn Church dressed as priests, accompanied by Galina. Except for not saying the power he showed after leaving the secret passage, Xia De told the truth about other things according to the confession he had verified with Larus III in advance.

Because this matter involved Mr. Snake, although there were no traces of elements at the scene, divination was fundamentally ineffective, and Xia De was not worried about being exposed.

And after this inquiry, which was like a chat, ended, an unexpected person entered the room.

"Bishop Owen?"

Bishop Owen of the Dawn Church in the Tobesk diocese can also be considered Xia De's acquaintance and friend. And behind Bishop Owen was Mr. Adis Stan, the president of the Tobesk branch of the Prophecy Association, and Xia De's old friend, Vice President Mark.

"Why are you all here?"

Xia De stood up to greet them, and then pretended to look at Galina suspiciously. The Duchess made an unhappy face:

"Everyone, please sit down. Just like what I said an hour ago, if Xia De doesn't agree to this matter, I won't let him leave Tobesk no matter what you say."

"Bishop Owen, what exactly is the matter? How come even you are here?"

Xia De asked while holding Little Mia:

"Is there any other problem with the assassination incident on Monday?"

Bishop Owen shook his head:

"No, no, there is no problem. It's the Prophecy Association that has something to discuss with you. The Church is just acting as a witness. During the Ring City Riding Competition last spring, you also learned about supernatural beings, and the Duke should have revealed some things to you afterwards."

The location of the conversation was not a conference room, but a quite luxuriously decorated reception hall. Three long sofas surrounded the tea table. Xia De and Galina sat on the central long sofa, the old priest of the Dawn Church who had just talked to Xia De and Bishop Owen sat on the sofa on the left, and the Prophecy Association sat on the right.

There were quite a few people present. Except for Xia De, who was the center of the incident, they could be divided into three parties. One party was Galina and several special officials responsible for the connection between the royal family and the Church, one party was the president, vice president, and several old gentlemen Xia De had never seen before from the local branch of the Prophecy Association, and the other party was the Dawn Church represented by Bishop Owen.

And the one who opened the conversation with Xia De next was Vice President Mark, who looked quite embarrassed:

"Mr. Hamilton, do you remember that before the end of the year festival, the local association invited you to participate in a regional Rhodes card competition as a special guest, and promised to prepare a special card from the new series released after the end of the year festival for you? (Chapter 3130)"

"It's already the third month after the end of the year festival. I'm sorry that this card hasn't been delivered to your hands yet."

Actually, Vice President Mark generally calls Xia De "Xia De" in private, and the two have quite a good friendship. Xia De also goes to him to identify cards. This time he used his surname obviously because of the occasion.

"Yes, I remember this. I even wrote a letter to ask about this (Chapter 3316). At that time, the association replied to me saying that the new version of the card had a spelling error in the name, so the card had to be reprinted and would not be released until the middle of this month."

Xia De replied. The above things are real, and he was very looking forward to what kind of card it would be.

And Vice President Mark, who is Xia De's friend, actually didn't want to say the following words, but as the vice president of the association, he had to perform his duties:

"Now there are some small problems, Mr. Hamilton. Have you considered participating in another card game and then obtaining a more ancient card?"

Xia De showed an interested expression, but he looked at Galina very cautiously, and then asked:

"What card?"

Vice President Mark did not answer immediately, because Galina Cavendish, who was sitting beside Xia De, almost wrote "I am unhappy" on her face. ===== CHAPTER 3729 =====
