"In this way, my savings are close to 2300 Jin Bang. It's time to renovate the third floor. But I still need to find reliable renovation workers... Maybe the church can provide help."

Putting Princess Ajielina behind him, after breakfast, Xia De sorted out the documents left by Detective Sparrow, intending to officially start dealing with the two commissions of "Finding a doctor to cure eye diseases" and "Finding Miss White's younger sister who ran away from home" before Dakenisi came to Tobesk.

These two commissions were actually not urgent at all. Detective Sparrow had actually already found the ophthalmologist, and the lady who ran away from home was actually having a spat with Miss White and was hiding in her own apartment in the North District of Tobesk, with no danger at all.

Confirming the plan for next week, Xia De left the lazy cat at home to watch the house, and then took a carriage to the Dawn Church. There were not many people in the church on Friday morning, and Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, who had suddenly become leisurely after the Holy Prayer Festival, also had time to meet with Xia De.

Hearing that Xia De wanted to find a team to renovate his house, the priest was very happy to help. The church had a fixed cooperative renovation team, and the priest gave the business card directly to Xia De, letting him contact them himself.

After Xia De took the business card and thanked him, he asked the priest a question in a low voice:

"Priest, does the church have any outstanding methods for dealing with demons?"

"Demons?"

The priest was stunned.

"Not the demon subspecies, but that kind of strange thing that is like an evil spirit."

Xia De explained, and Priest Priest Ao Gu Si immediately showed a terrified expression on his face:

"Xia De, what have you encountered? Quick, quick come with me to the main hall to pray. Being contaminated by that kind of thing will definitely cause big trouble."

He tugged at Xia De's sleeve and wanted to pull him up, but Xia De hurriedly shook his head:

"No, no, I'm not that unlucky to encounter such a rare evil object. Priest, I just want to know, if it is confirmed that a person is possessed by an evil spirit demon, how can one deal with it."

"Do you care about the life of the possessed person?"

Seeing that Xia De was really fine, the priest asked.

"Not at all, it's better if they die."

"Then apply to the church and let the high-ring warlocks deal with him."

The priest proposed a very practical plan.

"What if I want to deal with a similar enemy myself?"

Xia De asked again.

"What exactly have you encountered?"

The priest was quite worried, but seeing that Xia De refused to say, he still gave his own advice:

"People possessed by demons, whether they are directly devoured or form a symbiotic relationship, are not something that low-ring warlocks can easily deal with. But this kind of strange thing is extremely afraid of the power of the true gods. Note, this is not me bragging; it is really extremely afraid. So, if you can lure the other party into the churches of the true gods, the other party will be greatly suppressed."

But in the temple of the evil god 【Lord of the Scarlet Spiral】, the suppression Dakenisi received was almost no different from others, which shows that the special damage effect against evil spirit demons is not possessed by all gods, but is unique to the true gods.

"Church... I've noted it down. What else?"

Xia De took out his notebook and started recording. Seeing his serious appearance, Priest Priest Ao Gu Si continued:

"Also, divine arts and divine art rituals have excellent effects on demons. If similar evil spirits appear in the material world, even if the Academy discovers them first, they will let the church handle them. This is because the church's methods are more effective."

"Divine arts..."

Xia De nodded again, so 【Sunlight Gun】 could hurt Dakenisi. Besides the fact that this power belonged to the true Chosen One, it was also because it was a high-level divine art that was excellent for fighting evil spirits.

"Is there anything else besides this, such as mastering the true name of the demon, or sprinkling them with refined salt?"

Xia De asked again, and the priest immediately shook his head:

"Those are all the fantasies of country bumpkins and belong to ridiculous superstitions, even more ridiculous than using garlic to fight vampires. Ring Warlocks learn true occultism and cannot believe those things. Certain relics have miraculous effects on such terrifying things, but you can't find those things..."

Priest Priest Ao Gu Si frowned, as if carefully considering, and Xia De didn't disturb him. After being quiet for a full ten minutes, the priest said in a low voice:

"Since you are unwilling to tell me what you have encountered, I won't force you. But I can make a very effective potion that can fight demons. I named it Weak Angel Potion... it's really very effective. Xia De, help me do one thing, and I can help you prepare a bottle."

"Of course, no problem."

Xia De nodded immediately, but the name "Angel Potion" made him curious. Ring Warlocks' naming of potions is very rigorous. Every registration and patent application for a potion goes through strict review, and there will be no phenomenon of exaggerated names.

Although Ring Warlocks are in the field of occultism, the academic atmosphere is still very rigorous. So Xia De couldn't imagine what kind of potion could be called an "Angel Potion."

"Priest, what do you need me to do? Investigation, murder, smuggling, theft, playing cards, I can do all of these!"

"No, no, no, no need to be so exaggerated."

The old priest immediately stopped Xia De from continuing and signaled him not to talk about such things in the church:

"I will provide the materials for the potion. You need to meet me at this location at midnight tonight. I need your help; it's just a small matter."

The priest wrote down an address and handed it to Xia De. Xia De took a look and found that it was actually the rural cemetery in the north of the city. Although it was not the one guarded by Mr. Kopusi, it also belonged to the nameless rural cemetery of a small village outside the city.

"Okay."

Although he didn't understand what to do, Xia De still nodded:

"Do I need to prepare anything in advance?"

"Are you afraid of corpses and ghosts?"

The priest asked.

"Of course not. Compared to the things I have dealt with, what are ghosts?"

"That's good. If there are no accidents, we can finish the work in two hours. Meet at midnight at the withered tree on the Hanged Man's Path outside the city. Oh, if it's convenient, please bring your cat. Of course, it's okay if you don't."

Xia De didn't care much about the request to bring the cat. What he cared more about was what kind of person would name a remote path "Hanged Man's Path."

If possible, Xia De would absolutely not want to approach such a place at midnight.

To fight demons, besides the methods provided by the priest, there is actually another method, which is to fight demons with demons. Although Xia De didn't know how much power the demon on Doctor Schneider had, that demon was definitely much stronger than the demon on Dakenisi.

After all, even Xia De, who was sensitive to souls, couldn't feel anything strange on the doctor when he saw him.

But the demon on Doctor Shi Nai De was like a time bomb after all, and Xia De didn't know when it would explode. If he really involved the doctor in this matter and it eventually led to the next change in the demon on the doctor, Xia De would definitely feel guilty.

Therefore, after leaving the Dawn Church, Xia De thought about it and still didn't go to Doctor Schneider to ask for advice. If possible, he even wanted to try every means to prevent Dakenisi from meeting the doctor.

However, Tobesk was so big, and the doctor was not a profession that needed to run around like a detective. Xia De really hoped that his worries were superfluous.

After returning home, except for Duoluoqian coming over in the afternoon to deliver a message from Princess Lei Qianya to Xia De, no other guests visited No. 6 St. Deran Square today.

The blonde girl informed Xia De of the princess's train travel schedule, while Xia De expressed his distress that he had no business recently.

"Although there is no business, haven't you earned a lot recently? From Miss Jia Lin Na."

Xia De felt that Duoluoqian said this on purpose, and thus began to suspect whether the soul sitting across from the coffee table was Duoluoqian or Princess Lei Qianya.

"It is a lot, but the detective business has made no progress."

He was unusually distressed and decided to think of other ways to advertise himself recently. The advertisements in the newspaper had a limited range after all. The Outsider planned that maybe he could go to distribute flyers or post small advertisements.

"Oh, Duoluoqian, speaking of which, the end of the month is Wang Hou Diana's birthday. Miss Miss Jia Lin Na suggested that I give this to the Wang Hou, and I also want to ask for your advice."

"A gift? What are you going to give?"

Duoluoqian was very curious.

So Xia De got up and went to the study, and then brought out the round pearl that was half the size of a fist.

After placing it on the table, the orange cat, which didn't know what it was sniffing in the kitchen, immediately ran over happily, and then happily lay on it like hatching an egg. The soft cat immediately turned into a circular arc, but was immediately picked up by Xia De.

"Oh~"

Looking at the pearl with a perfect round shape, Duoluoqian, like all women who had seen it, let out a groan-like exclamation. She reached out to touch the pearl, as if wanting to confirm whether this was Xia De's illusion.

She looked at Xia De with wide emerald green eyes:

"Is this the pearl you told me about on the day you came back? I didn't expect... it's really this big."

"Yes, and I'm very sure this won't be associated with fishmen. Fishmen's pearls are golden and a circle larger than this."

Xia De grabbed his hair:

"Originally I didn't know about the Wang Hou's birthday, but Miss Miss Jia Lin Na said that there were some political disturbances in Tobesk recently, so I should hurry up and give a gift. So I want to ask you, what happened recently? Isn't it just that a prince was arrested?"

"Miss Jia Lin Na did a good job this time; this suggestion is very useful to you. Oh, my detective, although your political sensitivity is high, you don't know enough about the royal family. Every prince and princess who takes over government affairs will form deep-rooted factions in Tobesk. This time it's not just a prince, but a political group that is going to have bad luck."

Duoluoqian said, she knew most of the things Princess Lei Qianya knew:

"You saved the Wang Hou, which in itself announced your political inclination. This is a good opportunity. If you can win the Wang Hou's favor again, let alone a knight title, next time no matter what you do, you might be directly conferred a title."
