Chapter 391: Report

For the appraisal of this kind of extremely precious special card, Xia De still wanted to be safe, so he naturally went to find Mr. Cynthia Mark, the vice president he was very familiar with, for help.

In order to organize the Dacheng Player Luo Luo De Pai Tournament next month, Mr. Mark had been very busy recently, but hearing that Xia De was looking for him, he still took time to meet with Xia De:

"Wait... Mr. Hamilton, you wouldn't have obtained new Luo De cards again, would you?"

After the pleasantries, the man who was leading Xia De upstairs was stunned for a moment, and then skillfully reached out and grabbed the stair railing:

"Alright, you can say it."

His eyes were full of expectation.

"Yes, new Luo De cards, you actually guessed it."

Xia De nodded.

"The very old kind?"

Mr. Mark probed carefully again.

"Yes, want to appraise it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia De saw Mr. Mark cover his heart, looking like he was about to have a heart attack.

"How could you... Oh, no, no, it's not the founding series, not that one. It's this one, this one."

Xia De hurriedly explained, and then took out the Demon series card.

The middle-aged man wearing a black formal suit breathed heavily to look at the card face, and after discovering it wasn't 【Founding】, his face gradually returned to normal:

"Demon series? This is truly a rare paper card."

"Yes, although it's not founding, this is also a Luo De card old enough. I hope to ask the association's appraisers to take a look."

Xia De stated his request.

"No problem, but it will take a few hours."

Mr. Mark's breathing became steady, and his face was very serious. Although it wasn't the founding series, this card was also enough to be called priceless... if it was real:

"The Tobesk branch has never appraised Demon series cards, but for the sake of the Dacheng Players, the old appraisers who rushed from the headquarters should be able to appraise it."

"Then the card will stay here, and I will come to get it tonight or tomorrow."

"No, this doesn't meet the rules. During appraisal, the holder must be on the side."

Mr. Mark emphasized immediately. This was to protect the cardholder, and also to protect the association.

"It doesn't matter, I trust the association, and aren't we friends?"

Xia De shook his head indifferently, actually not holding much hope for this card.

After leaving Silver Cross Avenue, Xia De returned home, greeted Dorothy and Mia, who had a ring on her tail, and under the curious eyes of the person and cat, entered the basement and returned to Lengshuigang again.

"He is truly busy today."

The blonde girl said with a smile, holding the cat.

When landing from the beach, the rain that had lasted all morning finally stopped. Xia De, soaked all over, found a cheap hotel in the pier area to take a bath, and then changed into a clean piece of clothing before finally returning to the street.

I don't know if it was because there were many people in the afternoon, or if people walked out of their homes after the sky cleared, but compared to the morning, the pier area was truly much livelier.

Xia De had never done the thing of personally reporting others. Writing a letter or even putting it in a drift bottle and throwing it into the sea was actually the simplest method. But regarding the chosen ones, Xia De didn't want the letter to take any risks, so he decided to personally send the letter to the church.

Of course, to ensure that the church believed the content of the letter, Xia De not only told everything about Dacnisi from beginning to end, but even wrote "Summoner of God" as the signature at the end of the letter.

The inexplicable snowflakes when the Fishbone Pirate Ship left, as well as the moonlight over the ancient alley occupied by fish-men last week, had already made the Orthodox Church suspect that the 13th-ring warlock who was seriously injured because of summoning god was also in Lengshuigang. So, Xia De writing like this was no problem.

He didn't want to walk into the church and throw the letter aside while no one was looking, but wrote the letter well and wandered around the natural church located in the pier area, expecting to meet the occasionally outgoing priest.

【Lord of All Things】, also known as the 【God of Nature and Evil Thoughts】, possessed divine offices related to the ocean, and thus had a very prosperous faith in coastal areas. The church was located on the busiest street in the pier area. After the rain cleared, a rainbow even appeared in the sky. There were many believers entering and leaving the church to pray or repent, and Xia De was completely inconspicuous mixed in the crowd.

He stood on the side of the street holding a newspaper, watching the church entrance on Monday afternoon, with people coming and going. After a long time, he finally saw a priest wearing a white robe with a holy emblem hanging on his chest, walking hurriedly from the other side of the street. His age was about the same as Dr. Schneider's. He walked hurriedly not because he was in a hurry to handle things, but because he wanted to avoid the next wave of believers entering the church.

Xia De's eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him, stopping him before the priest approached the church:

"Oh, child, is there anything?"

Stopped by Xia De, the priest didn't get angry, but asked with a kind stop. These clergy were all good at communicating with people.

"Father, I want to repent."

Xia De stood on the side of the street with his head lowered, taking out the prepared rhetoric, while the clergy in front of him showed an understanding expression:

"No problem, this is very good. Why not enter the church with me? We will go to the confessional, where your privacy can be protected."

"Oh, no, Father, my sin is too great, I don't want my filthy soul to pass before God."

Xia De said again, trying his best to make his tone sincere.

An expression of worry appeared on the priest's face:

"Then the thing you want to say is..."

He was probably worried that Xia De was a murderer or something similar.

"I fell in love with many girls at the same time."

This was the sin Xia De could find that was light enough, but not too light. Although this was self-slander and damaged his image, since it was for a noble reason, for the sake of letting the Orthodox Church arrest Dacnisi, Xia De didn't care about this point.

The worried expression on the middle-aged man's face disappeared, and he nodded with sympathy:

"This is indeed a sin, but since you already know this is wrong, it shows that you are still a good person. Sincerely repent, and then choose the girl you want to accompany for life from your heart, and you will find happiness."

"Oh, thank you, Father."

Xia De lowered his head, squeezed his throat to make a hoarse voice, and then twitched his nose, shrugged his shoulders, making a look like he was about to cry:

"You are truly a good person. You are right, I think I know what I should do. I am going to see her now, and I will tell her my thoughts."

Saying that, he took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to the priest in front of him:

"Father, please donate this money to the church on my behalf, and don't let me, this sinner, face the holy emblem and the statue of God. If I can truly marry her, Father, I will come back to thank you."

Xia De tried his best to make himself sincere.

"Then I wish you happiness, young man. Perhaps you were once wrapped in dark thoughts, but God will guide you in the direction of light. You must truly know what you want before making a decision."

The priest took the envelope and showed a kind smile. Standing on the crowded street, with the brass gas pipes shining in the sun after the rain beside him, and the rainbow after the rain cleared, this scene was quite sacred.

But Xia De never raised his head, and after saying goodbye to the priest, he turned and left.

The middle-aged priest walked toward the church with the envelope. He couldn't open the donation of the believers on the street, and the church's donations would definitely be checked for the amount later. So, the envelope would definitely be opened in the church, and apart from Xia De's 1-shilling banknote and dozens of pieces of paper with "1 shilling" written on them, the letter clipped inside would definitely be discovered.

"Equivalent to spending 1 shilling to ask someone to send a letter."

Thinking of this, Xia De was quite satisfied with his move just now.

Of course, to prevent the church from immediately opening the letter and chasing him out, Xia De didn't stay here for long. But before he walked out of this street, he saw a carriage driving from the street corner.

There was no problem with a carriage appearing on this bustling street. The problem was that this was not a public four-wheeled rental carriage.

Xia De only glanced at it across the crowd and could judge that the iron art of the handmade carriage frame was absolutely priceless, and the muscular appearance of the coachman wearing a hat was also different from ordinary coachmen.

"A noble's private carriage?"

He was stunned in place, which was the effort of a moment. The carriage got closer and closer, and Xia De also saw the family crest on the side of the carriage.

"This is... Aurora family crest? Oh, it's Xivi Aurora! It's that witch."

Thinking of this, Xia De turned and walked quickly toward the alley on the side of the street. It was also at this time that the carriage window was pushed open a crack. The woman looking out from inside curiously sized up Xia De's back as he walked away, but quickly lost interest.

Because he ran fast enough, the second great witch of the Witch Council who appeared in front of Xia De didn't discover the abnormality of this man for the time being.

The accidental encounter with Xivi Aurora gave Xia De a huge sense of crisis. Although Miss Miss Jia Lin Na seemed normal, he actually accepted the argument that most people in the Witch Council were mentally abnormal.

To make himself safer, the production of the alchemical props seen in Miss Feilian's notebook absolutely could not be delayed.

So after leaving the vicinity of the natural church, Xia De returned directly to the Seven Brooms Tavern, paid a high price of 69 pounds, and got the alchemical materials he bought. Confirming that currently only the most important core material was missing, which was the witch's hair, Xia De didn't stay in the city at all, got on a carriage, and headed toward the Sophia Mansion in the north of the city.

Princess Princess Lei Qianya had also just returned from the city. Seeing Xia De holding a paper bag with a look of lingering fear, she asked him what he had done today.

"I... first went to the tavern to buy things, then went to a small hotel to play Luo De cards, and before coming back, I went to the church to donate money."

He thought for a moment and briefly introduced his day.

"Oh?"

The princess and Xia De walked side by side in the corridor, turned to look at him, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly:

"Xia De, it sounds like after you entered the city, you entrusted the tavern to purchase things, and then spent a day playing cards. When you were preparing to come back, you passed by the church, and to appease your anxiety about wasting time, you went to donate a sum of money." ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
