Chapter 468: Wishing Coin

Since the things in his hands were temporarily handled, Xia De originally planned to start solving the last two commissions left by Detective Schluch Lake from this afternoon.

But just as he returned to Saint Deran Square from Dawn Church and wanted to take out the commission agreement and go out, the badge on his chest actually started to get hot.

It was Miss Galina coming to visit.

The Duchess certainly didn't come to the city to handle affairs and then visit Xia De on the way. Nearly two weeks after Dac Nisi escaped from Coldwater Port, the Witch Council finally discovered his traces by relying on that boot.

"Now Ivan Dac Nisi is here, in Wilwood City, Charing County. The council's manpower in the vicinity discovered his traces last night. Although he escaped again, it at least shows that we have found his traces."

Miss Galina pointed out the location on the Old Continent map in Xia De's house with a finger painted with red nail polish. That exaggeratedly large map was now unfolded, spread on the open space of the living room on the second floor, and Difa squatted down to carefully circle Wilwood City with a pencil.

Mia stood triumphantly above the map, not knowing what it wanted to express. Xia De stood beside the black-haired maid, bending over to look at the map.

The location of Wilwood City had already crossed the midpoint of Coldwater Port City and Tobesk City, in the southwest direction of Tobesk City.

His eyes scanned the map, inadvertently looking at the squatting maid, and then saw a scene that made him a bit blush. The black-haired maid's figure was really very good, and this point was even more obvious when squatting down.

The flesh of desire was still affecting him, and Xia De tried very hard to move his gaze away.

"However, how can there be such a high-precision Kingdom map in your house? This can almost be used as a military map. Look, there isn't even a printing publication number on the map. Strictly speaking, this should be considered contraband."

Miss Galina asked, sitting in a chair on the side. Room 2 had no furniture. When Xia De took the map just now, the Duchess's servants moved a few chairs from the restaurant in Room 1.

The map was of course left by the former detective. As for what Schluch Hamilton wanted to do, that wasn't something Xia De Hamilton, a loyal MI6 agent, could think of.

He glossed over this question and then asked:

"Then apart from the council, didn't the church discover Dac Nisi?"

"The battle in Wilwood City will attract the church's attention because it happened in a hurry and there was no time to cover up the traces. The church should soon be able to link this matter to Dac Nisi."

Miss Galina also stood up, came to the other side of Difa, and then, just like Xia De just now, was attracted by the black-haired maid's figure when she was squatting:

"The scenery is not bad."

She looked up and smiled at Xia De. The maid didn't move, and Xia De didn't want to continue this topic.

"Judging from the trajectory of the action, Dac Nisi is heading toward the surrounding areas of Tobesk."

Xia De pulled the topic back to the Chosen One, and the black-haired maid also gently connected Dac Nisi's forward route with a pencil.

If he didn't plan to turn around next, but moved forward according to the current trajectory, then the probability of him appearing in the surrounding areas of Tobesk was very high. Even if he didn't enter the city, he might stay in a small town in the countryside.

"Yes, the council also believes that his goal might be Tobesk. So, I came to tell you this, so that you can also be prepared."

"What am I prepared for?"

Xia De asked in surprise.

"Prepared for him coming to Tobesk to take revenge on you."

"What? Take revenge on me?"

Xia De was even more surprised.

"Yes, the council's manpower in Wilwood City reported that Dac Nisi's injuries hadn't healed at that time. And judging from the description of the injuries, it didn't look like injuries caused by Xi Wei, but traces left by the sunlight gun you shot with an alchemical item."

Miss Galina said, looking at Xia De with great emotion:

"Although you used an alchemical item, you did something Xi Wei couldn't do. Xia De, you did very well."

"But Dac Nisi didn't see my appearance at that time."

Xia De was very sure of this point.

"Maybe? Otherwise, there is no way to explain the reason why he didn't flee to the edge of the civilized world but headed toward Tobesk."

The witch also bent down and extended her finger, letting Difa circle Tobesk:

"In short, the surrounding areas of Tobesk may become the location where Dac Nisi appears next time. Apart from the council, other Ringed Shushi organizations tracking Dac Nisi will sooner or later discover his traces. After all, he is only one person, and even with a demon on him, he can't become a master of concealment."

"Is Tobesk going to be chaotic again?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Galina shrugged:

"It's hard to say. Maybe the council's opponent this time is deliberately guiding us to look in the wrong direction. Maybe after he left Wilwood City, he immediately went south and smuggled to Kasenrike."

Xia De didn't comment on this, but discussed the situation caused by the second Chosen One with Miss Galina again.

The power Iluna displayed on the night of the divine descent made people initially recognize the power of the Chosen One, and the new stone tablet of "Whispering Poem" discovered in the New Continent led people's eyes to Coldwater Port. Subsequently, in the major event of Coldwater Port, mermen, evil gods, god-summoners, and Chosen Ones appeared in turn. And when the next landing location of Dac Nisi was confirmed, I am afraid that more Ringed Shushi organizations that tried to contact "Whispering Poem" and believed that the Chosen One would affect the situation of the material world would surface.

"Speaking of which, are you looking for currency-type relics?"

The discussion lasted for a full two hours, and Xia De also learned about more troubles caused by Dac Nisi. When Difa went to find other maids waiting in Room 1 to help put away that large map, the witch asked suddenly.

"Yes."

Xia De had mentioned this to both witches.

"Give this to you."

Miss Galina flicked a coin, and Xia De caught it in a flurry.

His fingers touched the coin, and he immediately received a prompt of contact whisper. The cold coin was about the same size as a 1-shilling alloy silver coin, with thorn edges on the front, the number 1 written on it, and the bottom was the number 309. These numbers were symbolized numbers, which were symbols used since very ancient times.

The reverse side had the ancient rune "wish," and the edge pattern was also thorns.

And on the side of the coin, a circle of letters was engraved with a very fine technique:

【An unsatisfied wish is the greatest enemy of wise living beings.】

"Document-level relic 【Wishing Coin】. Draw a pentagram on a flat ground, place five candles of different lengths at the vertices of the pentagram, and place the coin in the center of the pentagram, and you can make a wish."

The witch introduced. The two returned to the sofa in Room 1 to continue talking, and the servants helped clean up the chairs and maps just used.

"I think the realization of the wish must have problems."

Xia De said while checking the coin.

"Yes, it will indeed realize part of your wish, but it will always be realized in a strange way. This point is very similar to the plot in the story that warns us not to be greedy."

The witch said, her fingers shaking, not knowing what it meant:

"However, although the path may have problems, the purpose of the wish can be achieved. Therefore, some Ringed Shushis are willing to try to use this relic to make a wish, using it as a wishing method that exists with both positive and negative effects. The smaller the wish, the more likely it is to happen in the way the wisher hopes. The larger the wish, the more unexpected the realization method."

"Oh, this is really a good thing."

Xia De praised.

"It is indeed good. Like most currency-style relics, 【Wishing Coin】 doesn't exist singly. But what is different is that all 666 【Wishing Coins】, even if they disappear after the wish is successful, can reappear within a period ranging from decades to hundreds of years. For example, yours is No. 309. No matter how you plan to use it, people in the future will still be able to see it. After all, these coins are the incarnation of greed, desire, and hope. They cannot disappear."

"Then what reward do I need to pay to get this from you?"

Xia De moved his gaze away from the coin and asked, raising his head:

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Miss Galina thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"Do you have anything to do tonight?"

"Of course not."

He thought Miss Galina would arrange some task again.

"Then have dinner with me tonight, oh, after dinner, we can go to the opera together."

As she said, she looked back at her maid, and Miss Servet nodded immediately:

"I will prepare the tickets for the box."

"Dinner and watching the opera... is that all?"

Xia De was a bit hesitant.

"Of course, nothing has happened in Tobesk recently, and I don't have anything for you to do."

She looked at Xia De with a smile, looking forward to his answer.

"Can I bring Mia?"

Xia De asked again, and the cat mentioned by name immediately looked up at him.

"Of course you can."

"Then okay, I think no problem."

Although this behavior gave him the illusion that he was relying on women to eat, he needed special coins now. In the case of not wanting to consume the only one blood money per person, using extra coins for divination was really the best.

"However, this doesn't count as me paying the reward. I took the coin, and I will also participate in the activities tonight, but this counts as me owing you once, and I will pay it back later."

Xia De emphasized.

"For a man's self-esteem?"

The witch asked with a smile, and didn't refuse Xia De's statement:

"What a pity, little Lei Qianya will return to Tobesk tomorrow, otherwise I really want her to see what you look like now."

Xia De didn't pay attention to this sentence, otherwise the witch would definitely say more excessive sentences... Maybe she would change the invitation time to tomorrow night.
