Chapter 436

Regarding Dakenisi, the progress of events so far remains within the expectations of Xia De and Luweiya.

Dakenisi's identity has been exposed; under the inducement of the demon residing within him, he betrayed the Blood Spirit School and stole multiple relics.

If there are no accidents, he will learn that his Chosen One ritual needs to be conducted in Tobesk. And the three of them, Xia De and the others, will see him around the end of this month.

"What's troublesome now is not just that kind of strange dark power; what's even trickier is the demon on him."

Xia De recounted the summary of Dakenisi's combat methods that he heard from Miss Afuluola regarding the witches:

"He uses his own Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi power and the demon within him as the core combat strength, using the unique 【Darkness】 talent of the Chosen One to perform self-healing, defense, and movement.

In his normal state, without taking off his red gloves, he fights in the appearance of a human Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi;

If he encounters an enemy he cannot handle, he takes off the red gloves and uses the mouth in his palm to assist in the fight;

And after obtaining the relic 【Training Fish Ring】, the mouth in his palm gained the ability to speak, and can even occupy his arm to form a half-body demon; this is the third state;

The most terrifying is the fourth state: when Dakenisi encounters a fatal life-threatening danger, the darkness and the demon will simultaneously corrode his body, forming a terrifying dark pus. Witch... my friend calls it the pus of human nature."

Xia De recalled the scene where Dakenisi shattered the floor of the Fishman Temple with one punch:

"According to my friend in Coldwater Port, in this final state, Dakenisi's physical fitness is so high that even a 12th-ring warlock would find it tricky. At the same time, his sorcery, curses, and control over the darkness talent are all greatly enhanced. He himself possesses mental pollution capabilities, and the dark pus formed by half of his body can cause extremely terrifying corrosion and infection effects to anyone who comes into contact with it... However, my moonlight can clear that thing."

Given that Xia De's silver moon is extraordinary, he is unsure whether other sorcery or curses similar to "Flash" can also achieve such outstanding results.

"Four combat states..."

Luweiya pondered with a tense face.

"That 12th-ring lady only witnessed and summarized four states; it cannot be ruled out that the opponent has the possibility of becoming even stronger."

Xia De reminded:

"It's really tricky. We are friends with Yiluna and don't need to consider dealing with her, so we didn't encounter such trouble back then. But to deal with Dakenisi, even if Yiluna suppresses the Chosen One's dark talent, that demon must be faced head-on by us."

The demons in this world are divided into two categories: the first is the demon subspecies in general cognition, and the second is a combination of demons, devils, evil spirits, and strange evil objects known to the Outsider.

"But have you noticed, Xia De? He is clearly a Chosen One, yet he hasn't focused on delving into his own Chosen One talent, but rather tends to rely on the power of the demon on him."

Luweiya reminded, and Xia De thought about it; it was indeed so:

"Did he take the wrong path?"

"It's hard to say. I'll write to Yiluna in a while. On Sunday morning, we'll meet at your place and discuss this matter further."

"No problem."

Xia De nodded:

"However, how exactly should we treat Ivan Dakenisi? Just capture him? Kill him after he becomes a Chosen One? Kill him before he completes the ritual and wait for the second candidate for the second Chosen One to appear?"

Xia De asked, and Luweiya shook her head:

"It's too early to think about these things now. We will do what we can, but no matter what, we cannot let him occupy the second position. In addition, regarding the demon on him, I have already found some information within the Society. The opponent's name is hard to pronounce in the common language, but its main abilities are absorbing negative emotions to strengthen itself, devouring energy and matter, and a certain degree of mind-reading."

Although the high-end combat power of the Diviner Society is far inferior to the Witch Council, the information and documents stored by the ancient organization of diviners are something even the Zhengshen Sect Society envies.

"These abilities have already been displayed in Dakenisi's battles. It seems we really need to seriously formulate a plan to deal with him."

Xia De said while petting the cat, then asked again:

"Luweiya, I've heard some things recently. Remember those spaces left behind by the thirteen ancient gods? Recently I learned that some people call them shelters, the last hope for survival left by the ancient gods for us when the end comes."

"Then when will the end come?"

Luweiya asked with a smile, her purple eyes looking at Xia De.

"I don't know."

Xia De shook his head and laughed himself:

"I understand. After all, the other party is an organization that believes in doomsday theories, so it's normal to have such a saying. It's getting late; do you want to have dinner together?"

He invited again, and Luweiya thought for a moment:

"It's really rare that you would invite someone to dinner. Okay, but I need to go to the lounge to touch up my makeup; please wait a moment."

"No problem."

Xia De wanted to go to the hall downstairs to wait, so he took Mia and walked towards the door first. But when he held the doorknob, he thought of something else, so he turned his head and asked softly:

"Luweiya, is it the Sixth Era now?"

Luweiya was still sitting at the table, with her back to the window and her back to the sunset, so her face seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow, and those purple eyes seemed to be radiating charming colors:

"Yes."

She looked at Xia De:

"The Sixth Era."

Because of the strange light and shadow on her face, Xia De couldn't see her mouth moving, only hearing the voice being emitted. This scene was a bit terrifying, but Xia De didn't care, just nodded in surprise:

"I'll wait for you downstairs. If you don't find me, I might be playing Luo De Pai with someone else."

He opened the door and walked out, leaving Luweiya sitting there.

Xia De didn't close the door, so the cat on his shoulder looked back:

"Meow?"

The cat tilted its head and showed a curious expression. It clearly saw that behind the sitting human female, there was another human with a transparent body who looked almost identical, hugging her neck with both arms and whispering something in her ear.

The transparent figure seemed to sense something and raised its head to look outside the door, but by this time the cat had already turned its body.

Little Mia didn't care about such strange things.

Thus, the slightly leisurely Thursday passed just like that. When he woke up early on Friday morning, Xia De realized that the matter in Lengshuigang had completely ended, and he actually had nothing else to do for a while.

Counting the time, the Month of Flowers was about to reach the middle, and the letter mentioned by Detective Sparrow was to be sent in more than half a month. Considering that there was no business recently, Xia De planned to use the money he had saved to renovate the third floor of St. Deran Square before Dakenisi arrived in Tobesk, and incidentally solve the remaining two commissions of Detective Sparrow, which would be considered a complete end to all the matters left by the previous detective.

When he went downstairs to get the newspaper and milk/goat milk that morning, he discovered a small surprise. Someone had sent Xia De a letter, and inside the letter was actually a stack of banknotes. Brand new banknotes, and they were consecutive numbers, totaling 20 Jin Bang.

Because there were no stamps on the envelope and no sender's address, Xia De had originally fearfully thought that this was a counterfeiter randomly picking unlucky guys to test if the banknotes they printed were enough to deceive others, but there was also a letter with a perfume scent in the envelope.

It was high-end stationery, and after Xia De flipped through it, he realized he had thought wrong.

The letter was sent by Princess Ajielina Cavendish, whom he met yesterday. Those banknotes were to thank Xia De and Little Mia for finding the "true culprit." In the letter, she expressed her gratitude to Xia De very politely and praised the loyalty and wisdom of the Knight of Hamilton of Liede.

The content of the letter was standard, but in the postscript after the signature, the princess wrote such a line:

【Compared to the last time I saw you, you have become even more interesting this time.】

"Last time? When did I meet Princess Ajielina?"

Xia De sat at the dining table and thought suspiciously, poured the goat milk into the bowl containing cat food and pushed it to the cat that was staring with big eyes waiting, then his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Wait, could it be that the original Xia De met her? A homeless man and a princess, a man huddled in the corner of the wall and a noble girl looking out from a carriage, and then... could this be the person who truly knew the original owner that I have always been worried about? No, this won't do, even if she is Princess Lei Qianya's sister, but if..."

His train of thought diverged very far.

【Outsider, I want to remind you, please think carefully about whether you have ever met her.】

The appearance of the voice in his ear moved Xia De's thoughts away from whether a bed and cabinet could be placed in the space behind the basement wall. He tried hard to recall, and the woman's voice in his ear, also with a smile, gave hints of a few key pieces of information such as 【Noble Girl】, 【Red Hair】, and 【Likes to attend banquets and salons】.

"Oh~ Lake View Manor!"

Now Xia De remembered. On that rather magical night at Lake View Manor, due to the influence of strange luck, he experienced many things that he couldn't see the clues of at that time, but actually had a major relationship with him.

On that night, shortly after Xia De entered the manor, he saw Miss Difa Servit. And when he stood by the long table in the manor courtyard and looked up, he saw several girls standing on the balcony on the second floor of the manor, wearing gowns and chatting with each other.

One of the red-haired girls holding a glass wine cup noticed Xia De looking at them and pointed out Xia De's position to her friends (Note).

At that time, Xia De was worried about causing trouble, so he walked away quickly and didn't pay much attention to the girls upstairs. But thinking about it now, the red-haired girl he saw at that time was very likely Ajielina Cavendish. And because the other party was looking from a high place to a low place, the possibility of being able to remember Xia De's appearance was not small.

【Yes, judging from the height and figure, it is her.】

"Tobesk is really small; I can be bumped into like this."

He sighed in a low voice, put away the banknotes in the envelope, and then threw the letter aside.

Princess Ajielina politely invited Xia De to attend her salon when he had time. That princess was probably very interested in Xia De, who was rumored to have an improper relationship with Miss Galina, but Xia De had no interest in making friends with any underage princess.

He still had to deal with the guy possessed by the demon and renovate his own house. Of course, not coming into contact with Ajielina Cavendish was even more to avoid being treated as a frivolous person by Princess Louisa, who would return to Tobesk City soon.
