Chapter 3963

Both thieves were ordinary people. Since Miss Pawo and the Ring Mages were fighting, the person they came here to see was clearly a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. Thinking about it this way, the thieves breaking into the auction today was likely because some Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi wanted to borrow their hands to get some things.

Xia De the cat thought while kicking the wall to climb to the top of the wall of the abandoned farm. Standing on the wall, he saw that the two people fighting with Miss Pawo were two strange Ring Mages.

One of the strangers was Nine-Ring and the other was Eight-Ring. The two cooperated quite tacitly, but were still being suppressed by Miss Pawo, who held the Angel-level relic "Somerville Codex." As for the two thieves, they were already lying on their backs outside the farm's cowshed at this time, and Xia De could not sense their life sparks.

The battle seemed to be ending soon, and Xia De the cat just stood on the wall and helped no one, watching the two strange Ring Mages being forced into a desperate situation step by step by Miss Pawo.

The ritual base array composed of dense digital runes suppressed the other party's power. Miss Pawo was not an ordinary Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi to begin with, and the strange arts used by the two strangers did not carry any identification at first. Until the shield supported by the two together was almost completely torn apart by the light bursting from Miss Pawo's fingertips, they finally used their true skills:

"Strange Art - Magic Eye Technique!"

Different patterns appeared in the two right eyes of the two at the same time. Xia De the cat's vision was quite good, and he could see clearly even from a very far distance.

"Oh, so it's the 【Magic Eye Club】~"

He only then understood.

"Magic Eye Technique" was the signature ability of the 【Magic Eye Club】. The effect of this strange art was to replicate the ability of the Magic Eye, allowing one's own eyes to exert the characteristics of the Magic Eye for a short time at a price. After all, even in the 【Magic Eye Club】, not everyone was willing to directly use a relic-level Magic Eye. This strange art was relatively safe.

"However, aren't they a local neutral organization? Why do they do such things? There are no magic eyes in the Baron's collection."

The strange arts of the two did indeed exert their effects. In Xia De the cat's judgment, the characteristics of the two eyes were "unknown powerful curse" and "twisting the target in the field of vision."

But it was a pity that their opponent this time was the president of the 【Truth Society】. Even if their eyes were genuine magic eyes, they might not necessarily be able to beat Miss Pawo, let alone the fact that they only utilized part of the effects of the magic eyes.

Thus, after briefly resisting Miss Pawo's attack, as the digital runes condensed into a complex ritual base array on the ground that was almost like a mathematical formula, the power of the magic eyes gradually failed, and the situation soon returned to the two facing Miss Pawo's power and retreating steadily.

Bang!

The "Magic Eye Technique" was directly backlashed by the power of the 【Somerville Codex】, causing their right eyes to go blind. The two were hit and flew away by huge force, plunging headlong into the farm's cowshed. Miss Pawo looked like she hadn't even used her full strength, but when she wanted to capture the two seriously injured people to ask about the situation, a voice came from her side.

Of course, the person speaking was not Xia De.

"The president of the 【Truth Society】 appearing in the Arcadia area really adds more academic atmosphere here. Miss Pawo, long time no see. How do you have time to come to us?"

The man with a Twelve-Ring life ring floating behind him was not greeting her. The man with closed eyes appeared directly through space movement. He looked to be about forty years old, with his right arm wrapped in bandages and hanging around his neck. The powerful whisper elements in his right eye, which opened when he spoke, made even Xia De on the wall in the distance feel some discomfort.

The pattern in the magic eye was an abstract skull shape, and Miss Pawo turned her head subconsciously. After making eye contact with that magic eye, which had a very high probability of being Angel-level, she fell straight down. The 【Somerville Codex】 closed automatically, fell onto her, and happened to press down on her right hand.

The strange man took a deep breath, closed his right eye, and waited for a while while maintaining the existence of the life ring, confirming that Miss Pawo did not crawl up, only then walked toward the cowshed to bring out his two seriously injured and unconscious companions. Their right eyes were both bleeding tears of blood, and the backlash of the strange art likely caused permanent damage to their eyes, but this kind of injury was not worth mentioning to the 【Magic Eye Club】.

The strange man then looked at the two thieves lying not far from Miss Pawo, reached out and waved, and an item flew directly out of the satchel carried by one of them and fell into his hand.

Xia De the cat saw it very clearly. It was an ancient-looking gold-framed monocle hanging with a silver chain. Xia De had not carefully checked this thing before the auction started, so he also didn't know why the other party's goal was this.

And after obtaining the thing he wanted, the Twelve-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi with closed eyes looked at Miss Pawo who had fallen to the ground again, but he had just wanted to take a step toward her direction when a blood-colored light flashed by. After the man with closed eyes retreated, that red light happened to strike the place where he had just stood.

"Who?"

He "looked" toward the source of the red light with his eyes closed, and then saw the pure white cat that seemed to have been standing on the wall in the distance, looking at him with bright eyes.

The man with closed eyes and Xia De the cat "looked at each other" for a moment, and then looked at the female mage lying dozens of steps away. Thinking that he didn't even realize the existence of the other party before the cat made a move, and thinking that it was a bit strange that Miss Pawo was subdued by himself in one blow even though she was only Nine-Ring, he grabbed his two companions and disappeared again using space ability.

Silence returned to the abandoned farm, the clouds in the sky drifted slowly, and the cat jumped down from the wall lightly. After restoring his human form with illusion, he walked toward the two thieves lying on the ground.

When Xia De squatted down with his back to Miss Pawo to check the "stolen goods" in the backpack, the female mage also crawled up from the ground:

"God-Awakener?"

She asked in a somewhat weak tone. Seeing that Xia De did not respond, she said very certainly:

"The probability that you are the God-Awakener exceeds 78.3%. Are you deliberately turning your back on me to test me?"

Xia De had already confirmed at this time that both the manuscript and the Luo De cards were in that satchel, but he did not take those things, but stood up and looked at the female mage who had barely stood up.

Her weakness at this moment was not faked, but Xia De also did not believe that she did not have the ability to escape from the hands of that person just now.

Seeing that Xia De was still looking at her but not speaking, Miss Pawo searched for a potion on her body and drank it in one gulp. Her complexion immediately became much better:

"The Twelve-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi who appeared last, is the current leader of the 【Magic Eye Club】, 'Thousand-Eye Ringed Ringed Shushi' Alan Og. This person is probably the person with the largest number of magic eyes installed on his body in existence. The right eye he opened just now is the famous Angel-level magic eye 【Soul Vortex】.

As for the monocle taken away by him, I also can't say what it is, but it sounds very reasonable for the owner of a magic eye to want a pair of glasses, doesn't it?"

Xia De ignored this cold joke:

"Do you have a grudge against the 【Magic Eye Club】?"

"Of course not. Even for the 'Relic Fusion Human Body' project that was carried out in the past, we still have some limited knowledge exchange with the club. However, the 【Truth Society】 knows some interesting things. The relationship between the 【Magic Eye Club】 and the 【Church of Creation】 is tighter than most people think.

The 【Magic Eye Club】 is highly likely to be the white glove of the 【Church of Creation】."

This was something that Mr. Finch, a local, had not mentioned, but Xia De would not easily believe Miss Pawo's information, only that he heard the implication of Miss Pawo:

"Are you trying to say that today's incident is also related to the 【Church of Creation】?"

"Otherwise, just for an item that ordinary thieves could steal, I find it hard to imagine why the 'Thousand-Eye Ringed Ringed Shushi' would personally ensure safety. Numbers don't lie, and this doesn't make sense in terms of probability."

"Then what about you? What did you come to do? Which item in that satchel do you need?"

Xia De asked again. Miss Pawo recovered very quickly, and the effect of the strange potion she drank was very good:

"【Mark I Steam Engine】 original design manuscript."

She answered straightforwardly:

"I am very interested in it. After all, this is the original manuscript drawn by the designer of the most classic steam engine himself. For me, this is even more precious than some relics."

She restored her composure:

"Of course, I didn't come here for it. Knowing that the manuscript was going to be auctioned was just a coincidence. I came to find someone."

It seems everyone came to find someone. Xia De did, Mr. Bernhardt did, and Miss Pawo actually did too.

"Generally speaking, when others take the initiative to provide me with information, they all have a purpose."

Xia De said very calmly. Miss Pawo smiled. This female mage's appearance was very ordinary, but her eyes were particularly bright:

"Yeah, you are the strongest person recognized in the material world. If you want to make you do things, you can't force it, you can only guide it. However, I don't have any purpose, I just want to thank you for your help just now, otherwise it would not be easy for me to escape safely."

She reached out and conjured a logo in the air:

"I came to find a defector from the 【Truth Society】 from many years ago. The other party joined the organization earlier than me. Many years ago, the organization sent her to the Arcadia area to join the 【Emerald Alchemy Society】 to spy on those alchemists' research progress on the Unknowable-level relic 【Emerald Tablet】.

You have to understand this kind of behavior. Researchers cannot just close their doors to conduct experiments. Knowing other people's research content and progress also helps to improve one's own level.

However, after she became a formal member of the Alchemy Society, her contact with the organization became increasingly rare, until she finally lost contact completely. Nobody knows what her true identity is locally. This place is adjacent to the Holy See of the 【Church of Creation】, and for many years, we have not been able to really invest manpower here to find her.

At that time, we thought she voluntarily left the 【Truth Society】 instead of dying in an accident, because we took some measures to confirm that she survived for many years after losing contact before she died. She did not leak organization secrets, just no longer contacted the organization, so it could not be called betrayal."
