Chapter 4078

"I noticed that the note says 'improve the life fission project.' Speaking of which, Weige, your sisters were split into four, maybe it's related to this project."

Xia De said:

"After finding your sisters, maybe we can discover some situations similar to Princess Lei Qianya and the others from your sisters. Although it certainly won't be exactly the same, maybe they possess some commonalities."

After speaking, he looked at Princess Lei Qianya again:

"Do we still need to be so polite between us?"

The Princess blinked, then showed a gentle smile. If it weren't for someone else's house, she would even want to tie up her hair on the spot... This was what Miss Jia Lin Na saw from her eyes.

Xia De had also considered the physical problems of Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy before. Whether this problem needs to be solved, and whether it will cause harm if not solved, these are all unknowns, so he temporarily doesn't consider this aspect.

If he can get the means to achieve "rebirth" from Helmons, then not only Weige's situation, but maybe Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy's problems can also be solved together. 【Creation Delivery Room】 is very important to the current situation.

Subsequently, Yiluna followed Weige to the underground palace for the human alchemy ritual. Miss Jia Lin Na had a meeting to attend today, and after kissing Xia De goodbye, she returned to Tobesk City.

Princess Lei Qianya didn't leave for the time being, but wanted to see Ajielina's brand new living environment. Ajielina was also very happy that her sister cared about herself so much.

As for Xia De, he also temporarily left the Fragrant Mansion. First, he threw the crystal shoes and returned to Tobesk with Miss Jia Lin Na, and then planned to find "Desire" to explain that he agreed to this cooperation. The "Blessing of Chaos" still cannot be opened, and he doesn't need to wait for Weige.

This doesn't mean that Xia De has been relieved about "Desire." On the contrary, the increasingly strong initiative and aggressiveness shown by this mermaid made Xia De more and more cautious when dealing with it.

He is much stronger than when he was in Cold Water Port, and 【Desire】 is obviously much stronger than two years ago.

Although there is a lake suitable for summoning "Desire" in the park in the upper city of Arcadia City, Xia De wouldn't call an Unknowable-level relic in such a densely populated area.

He didn't even go to the big lake yesterday afternoon, but spent some time coming to the bank of the Sernier River in the southwest of Gray Rock Pass, where he met the Pseudo-Human last night.

Probably because it rained all day yesterday, the water of this river looks even more turbulent today.

Xia De stood by the river and looked around, and then threw the pink essence bottle that hadn't been used for a long time into the river water. The bottle didn't get washed away by the river immediately, but sank directly to the bottom of the river.

Only this time, Xia De didn't wait for that beautiful woman's head to appear. He only saw the essence bottle and a silk handkerchief floating up together.

"It's not coming this time?"

【Very disappointed?】

"She" asked with a smile in Xia De's ear.

"Of course not, just feel a bit strange."

After Xia De picked up the bottle and handkerchief, he found that the handkerchief was embroidered with dense letters. The information content of this unknown language is huge. A small handkerchief explained many things related to the 【Skin-Object Hall】.

Some of the information overlaps with the information provided by the Pseudo-Humans, but there are also many things that the Pseudo-Humans didn't mention.

The core of the 【Pseudo-Human Home】 is the blood pool room connected to the door, while the core of the 【Skin-Object Hall】 is the core collection area. In the collection area, there are many precious skin objects made and collected by skin craftsmen since ancient times.

There are many exhibition areas and collection areas in the hall. The core collection area is located in the deepest position. Even 【Desire】 has never reached there. But it is very sure that its skin once belonged to that area, and the goal of the Pseudo-Humans is to swallow that area as much as possible.

And the "collections" in that core collection area are not just skin objects. "Desire" even reminded Xia De that there are also many weird human skin books passed down from ancient times there, and the knowledge recorded on those human skin books is something it doesn't know.

"It's almost like writing 'go and have a fire fight with the skin craftsmen' on this."

Xia De thought in his heart, and his upcoming trip to the 【Skin-Object Hall】 could not get direct help from "Desire" for the time being. Limited by the agreement signed that year, the main body of Desire cannot directly approach the 【Skin-Object Hall】, let alone directly fight the "skin craftsmen."

But "Desire" provided the names of local ordinary people. He can get the help of these people unconditionally. And if Xia De can find the agreement signed between "Desire" and the hall that year in the 【Skin-Object Hall】 and destroy it, then the mermaid doesn't mind entering the hall directly.

"The goals of the Pseudo-Humans and Desire are both the core area, but my goal doesn't seem to be."

He burned the information after reading it:

"Although Weige's mother's agreement was also signed with the skin craftsmen, the agreement content is, isn't it that as long as you take that Nicolas Flamel's skin object and find the door, you can directly recover a quarter of the sisters? In order to get the information and knowledge that the Pseudo-Humans and Desire can provide, is it really necessary for me to get involved in these things?"

This question was asked by Xia De to himself, and then he determined that it was necessary for him to do so. The skin craftsmen in the hall even dared to covet "Desire's" skin. Xia De really doubted whether they would really abide by the agreement with Weige's mother.

So instead of expecting the other party to honestly hand over the "quarter of the sisters," it's better for him to take the initiative.

"Besides, the rewards promised by the Pseudo-Humans and Desire are also really tempting. Information on the Chosen One's ritual, means to treat Weige, artifacts..."

He thought in his heart, intending to return to the Fragrant Mansion to see if Yiluna's "human alchemy" had ended. It was just that he had just taken out the crystal shoes when he saw the little bat logo floating down the river from upstream from afar.

Xia De realized there was someone in the water:

"It wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"

Four chains shot into the river water. Before long, a man was pulled out of the river by the chains. This was not Mr. Bernhardt, but a middle-aged vampire Xia De didn't know.

The other party was not dead yet, but it looked like he was not far from death. There was a big hole in his heart position, his heart had disappeared, and there were gunshot wounds on his forehead. Judging from the silver traces left by the wound, that bullet was probably not an ordinary bullet either.

Even for a high-level vampire, this is a terrible injury. Xia De first used the Mystical Lock to light a match and put it in his hand, and then treated the other party by the river.

During the treatment, Xia De didn't forget to observe the river surface, but there was no second high-level vampire washed down from upstream by the river.

He quickly stabilized the other party's injury and used the surrounding mud to knead a heart for the other party. This was the first time Xia De used "active mud" to manufacture such an important organ, but fortunately, this wonder had a very good effect after sublimation.

During the treatment, Xia De didn't forget to find a can of chicken blood as a spare ritual material from his carry-on cards and poured it on the injured vampire. The other party's skin absorbed the blood almost the moment it touched the blood, which also proved the other party's high-level vampire identity.

The heart recovered, and with the supplement of foreign blood, the seriously injured high-level vampire soon opened his eyes. He first heard the turbulent sound of the river, and then under the gloomy sky, saw the red moonlight greatsword pointing at him.

Xia De didn't forget that the high-level vampires in the local area were not just Mr. Bernhardt and his party. Although he rescued the other party, this didn't mean Xia De trusted the other party.

"Swear to your God, everything you say next is the truth, and then tell me your identity information."

Xia De, who had devoured the divinity of the 【God of Blood】, had an inexplicable pressure on vampires. This feeling became more and more obvious as his level increased. The vampire pointed at by the sword could obviously feel that kind of inexplicable pressure. He held his breath, and then asked softly:

"Are you... Mr. John Watson?"

Being able to call out this name meant that he was likely from Tobesk City like Mr. Bernhardt, but Xia De also remembered that there was a mole in that team.

He didn't answer, just nodded slightly, so the vampire let out a long breath. He climbed up from the ground, first prayed devoutly to the 【God of Blood】, then informed Xia De that he was indeed from Tobesk, and finally began to explain what the situation was just now:

"Our group and before entered the sewer to hunt 'life distortion bodies.' Originally, we were able to deal with those things very skillfully, but this time the distortion body we encountered was a bit different from the past.

It could not only change its body from a fixed human form into a mass of meat, but even change from a meat form into the appearance of other races. In the battle just now, it turned into a high-level vampire, then into a half-elf, and finally into a dragon-born, and it even had weapons in its hands.

Our group of three suffered a big loss. I don't know what happened to the other two of the same race. Before I fainted, I turned into a bat and jumped into the dark canal of the sewer. I don't know how I got here."

The dark canal of the sewer in the outer city is indeed connected to this river. His explanation had no problems.

Xia De then dispersed the moonlight greatsword, but he didn't relax his vigilance:

"Take me to see Bernhardt. Is he in the outer city now?"

"No, that gentleman should be near the Gray Rock Pass fortress today."

After dispersing everyone in the team to the outer city, Mr. Bernhardt, who was not at ease, recently set up a new secret stronghold near the Gray Rock Pass fortress, and only those trusted people in the team could know here.

The stronghold was on the surface in the basement of a herbal shop on the edge of the Gray Rock Pass fortress. In fact, there was a secret passage in the basement connected to the outside world, directly connecting to a hidden cave in the mountains and forests outside the Gray Rock Pass.

The vampire rescued by Xia De led Xia De to that hidden cave. To prevent being discovered by wild vampires, the illusion blocking the cave entrance was even manufactured by relic characteristics, not the vampires' illusion.
