Chapter 470: Traces of the Seal

According to Luweiya's meaning, directly divining "how to obtain 【Demon-Hunting Seal】" would likely only result in an absolutely correct but very vague direction. Directly divining "how to fight against the demon on Dac Nisi" might result in finding the church for help.

Xia De thought for a moment:

"I want to divine how to obtain the relic 【Demon-Hunting Seal】 in the surrounding areas of Tobesk and Coldwater Port within two weeks without much danger."

Luvia looked at him, and Xia De indeed added:

"If it can't be divined or the result is still vague, we will give up the idea of using this relic to fight against demons and think of other ways. Luweiya, if I use a large canvas to turn the Dawn Church into a toy and carry it on my body, and release it to suppress the demon when appropriate, will the church hunt me down?"

He was, of course, joking; the spirit of a Ringed Sorcerer was not yet enough to accomplish such a thing. Moreover, churches are steeped in various prayers and confessions year-round, making them equivalent to powerful sacred alchemical items, and Xia De's miracle 【Toy Making】 is ineffective against alchemical items.

Luweiya also laughed:

"Xia De, whether the church will hunt you down is hard to say, but Priest Ao Gu Si will definitely hunt you down."

The girl with brown shoulder-length hair closed her eyes and threw the coin. As the coin rose to the highest point and fell, rust spots appeared on the surface. Before falling back to the table, it scattered into fly ash and dissipated in the air.

This meant the divination was effective.

"How is the result?"

Xia De asked with great expectation.

Luvia opened her eyes, and the swirling purple light gradually receded. This divination did not affect her much, and it went very smoothly:

"A very strange result. As long as you keep walking along your own path, you will likely encounter this seal."

"What does this mean?"

"It means acting according to your own plan, you will likely be able to obtain this relic."

Xia De pointed to himself:

"Where do I have the luck to run into relics when I go out? You also said that I am the least likely person to become a Chosen One."

"But didn't you say that when Priest Ao Gu Si mentioned 【Demon-Hunting Seal】, he said that those seals always appear around locations related to demons? So the probability of you encountering it in Tobesk is much greater than encountering other relics."

Luweiya said, and Xia De thought about it. This kind of statement seemed to make some sense.

"But Dac Nisi hasn't arrived in Tobesk yet, right?"

"Tobesk itself has demon nests."

Luweiya smiled:

"I haven't been idle. In the out-of-control Angel-level relic 【Darkness Domain】, there exist some terrible creatures that will leave forgotten areas and spread darkness further. I have already found out that they are 【Hidden Servants】, evil spirits and demons left over from the Third Era. Although they are derivatives of relics now, they are still demons."

"So speaking of which, the possibility that Dac Nisi's Chosen One ritual is related to 【Darkness Domain】 has increased again?"

Xia De finally understood.

"Yes, so there is no need to worry about the relic. If it should belong to you, it must belong to you. Oh, almost forgot about this matter. Xia De, Iluna came to find me yesterday. She hasn't been idle either. She is currently raising materials, planning to make two more brooches that can use 【Sunlight Gun】, one for you and one for me. Also, she found more information from those scattered knowledge."

Luweiya said, taking out her notebook to let Xia De see:

"This time she knows the divine positions corresponding to the Ancient Gods. Unlike the Old Gods who mostly have single divine positions, the Ancient Gods are incomparably powerful, and their core divine positions are not just one. The Ancient God of Balance 【Suspended Judge】 is balance, power, perfection."

"Speaking of which, the Ancient God of Time 【Father of Infinite Trees】 is the protector of time, trees, and nature. I don't know if the door should be considered the power of the Tree Father or the power of the Ancient God of Space."

Xia De also said. He had always been very interested in topics related to Ancient Gods, so he extended his fingers and counted:

"The Ancient God of the Moon 【Silver Moon Sage】 is the moon, night, recorder. Yes, recorder, that's why there is the 【Silver Moon Library】. I don't know if the stars count... Then which one is the Ancient God corresponding to darkness, and what kind of power does this great being have?"

Luweiya turned the notebook, and the content on it was sorted out by Iluna:

"The Ancient God of Darkness is 【Creeping Darkness】, and the power is manifested as darkness, error, history..."

"Wait, history?"

Xia De was a bit surprised:

"This sounds like the power of the 【Father of Infinite Trees】."

"The power of the thirteen Ancient Gods overlaps, which is normal. You say 【Silver Moon Sage】 has the power of a recorder, but don't forget that in the Founding series of Luo De cards, there is also 【Founding·Knowledge】. And time and history are not the same kind of power. Just because 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 and 【World-Snake】 are both gods related to the earth, do you think their power is exactly the same?"

Luweiya gave examples based on Xia De's recent experiences.

"But at present, what Dac Nisi shows seems to be only darkness."

Xia De pondered, thinking of 【History】 and 【Error】, and somehow thought of the 【Darkness Box】.

"No, 【Error】 is also shown. Do you think it's easy to coexist with demons?"

Luweiya corrected:

"So speaking of which, what Iluna shows now is only 【Balance】, and she also has more power waiting to be excavated. Chosen One, it's really amazing."

A smile appeared on her face.

Xia De didn't stay at the Fortune Teller Society for too long. He was worried that once he ran into Vice President Mark, the two would talk about the big city player Luo De card competition next month, and the whole morning would really be wasted.

Walking out of the gate of the Fortune Teller Society, the city was still shrouded in thin fog today, but he could barely see the sky of the early summer morning. Under that gray sky, Xia De's gaze crossed the towering buildings, crossed the smoking chimneys, and looked far toward the direction of Tobesk Railway Station.

"In a few hours, Lei Qianya will get off the train there... I don't know how long it will take her to come out of Yodel Palace and see me at Saint Deran Square."

Dorothy and Lei Qianya's bodies couldn't be too close, so Dorothy couldn't go to pick up Lei Qianya. In fact, when Lei Qianya came to No. 6 Saint Deran Square, Dorothy couldn't be in the same room as the two.

Thinking of this, Xia De was quite worried, worrying that their situation would evolve and some irreparable terrible things would happen.

Today was finally fine, so Xia De returned home to get the commission data, intending to finish the last two commissions.

Among looking for an ophthalmologist and looking for a missing girl, Xia De chose the former this time. When he took the file and prepared to set off, the orange cat slipped down from the stairs on the third floor, saw Xia De walk out of the second-floor door, "meowed" at him, and then quickly rushed into the room, not knowing what it had done on the third floor just now.

When Xia De wasn't at home, the cat probably treated the whole No. 6 Saint Deran Square as its adventure base. Judging from the fact that it was a bit gluttonous but hadn't gained any weight after being adopted by Xia De for two months, the cat's daily exercise must be very large.

The client for "Looking for a doctor who can treat eye diseases" was Mr. Toma Mandis, a blind man living in the university district. He had many friends with eye diseases in the local area, and one of them actually miraculously healed his eyes a month before the outsider arrived in this world.

Mr. Mandis of course also wanted to treat his eyes, but that friend refused to reveal the doctor's information no matter what. So, he commissioned a detective to investigate, and at that time, Detective Schluch Hamilton's physical condition was already very poor. This commission could be considered one of the last formal commissions for the next two months.

Like the tasks of following a mistress and looking for a cat, Detective Schluch Hamilton had almost completed this task. Three days after taking the commission, he found that "magical" Doctor Jacob Alfred through his own network.

Doctor Alfred was similar to Doctor Shi Nai De, both opened their own small clinics. But the ophthalmologist's clinic located in the lower city district of the north of the city wasn't large, and there was only one doctor in the clinic, so the reputation wasn't obvious, and it was indeed very difficult to find.

The commission period for the client Mr. Mandis was four months, so Detective Schluch Hamilton left this commission to Xia De, hoping to become one of his work for the next two months.

For the commission of following the mistress, Xia De could follow it one last time as a way to perfectly end the commission task. As for the task of looking for an ophthalmologist, Detective Schluch Hamilton also suggested in the remaining documents that Xia De could try to observe the recent situation of Mr. Frank Bundy, a friend of the client whose eye disease had been cured, and add his recent situation to the investigation report, which might make the client pay the final payment more readily.

"Blind Mr. Toma Mandis is the client, ophthalmologist Jacob Alfred is the target, and blind musician Mr. Frank Bundy of the Noshan Opera Troupe is the one whose eyes were successfully treated."

Because this commission involved three core figures, Xia De analyzed their data very carefully. Among them, Doctor Alfred was an outsider who moved to Tobesk seven years ago and stood firm in the local area by relying on the ophthalmology clinic in the lower city district.

And the client Mr. Mandis and the musician Mr. Bundy were both locals. As for the occupation of the client, it was to be responsible for some Braille material proofreading in the public department of the City Hall. Although he didn't earn much, it could be considered a very decent occupation, and he didn't lose his ability to work because of his physical disability.

Xia De decided to adopt Detective Schluch Hamilton's suggestion and visit the blind musician to collect his recent situation and the degree of recovery of his eyes before submitting the investigation report to the client.

If there were no accidents, he could solve this matter in one day.
