Chapter 482: Waiting

"Oh~ I had only heard of such things before, I didn't expect to be able to see it with my own eyes!"

The maid sighed softly, and Xia De was full of smiles:

"Better than I thought. The ability to observe blood is still retained, and it's clearer. But more importantly, the 【Echo】 attribute has been enhanced. For living people, I can now let my eyes see the other party's movement trajectory for a certain period of time by dripping the other party's blood or similar blood components into my eyes or injecting them into my body."

He stood up holding the cat:

"Tifa, you just dripped blood into my eyes. So within about an hour, as long as I activate the miracle, as long as I come to a location where you have appeared within 24 hours, my eyes can see your blood-colored phantom. Those shadows with halos will describe your continuous actions and movements in space. This is not only the echo of blood, but also the echo of time and space."

The maid thought for a moment:

"Blood, time, space... Although the miracle has no attack power, this effect is really too useful. Then what about corpses?"

"I don't need a complete corpse. As long as I drip the corpse's blood into my eyes or inject it into the blood vessels, I can see all the blood-colored halos composed of all the actions one hour before and one hour after death. Yes, and then cooperate with my psychic ability 【Soul Echo】. Now no dead person can keep secrets in front of me... Of course, I have to find the place of death."

Xia De nodded, controlling his smile:

"Not only that, I probably understand how to obtain this miracle by normal means. I am definitely the first Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi to possess this miracle. First, I need the spell 【Blood Echo】, then possess the power of time, space, and blood, and have at least come into contact with a god related to this. If I didn't use this red medicine I used, I would need to hold a ceremony related to eye recovery, but I still need to think about the details of the ceremony myself. My ritual studies aren't good... Maybe I should change the name of the miracle, 【Xia De's Blood Echo】, how about that?"

Xia De joked. Although it sounded simple, obtaining this miracle was quite difficult. Just the requirement of having had a major connection with a god possessing the power of blood, time, and space was almost impossible.

And such a difficult-to-obtain miracle itself was also rich in function and powerful.

"You do have the naming power. Congratulations, Mr. Hamilton."

Tifa said with a smile.

"Just call me Xia De from now on."

Xia De waved his hand, seeing that the bottle of red medicine was used by him by one-half, and now only about one-quarter remained in the bottle:

"The remaining medicine belongs to you."

"How can this be? Being able to evolve miracles and spells without cost, although the type of ability is limited, the remaining liquid is also worth..."

She shook her head and wanted to refuse.

"I plan to keep that ring Relic for myself, but you also contributed to repelling the demon to obtain these things."

Xia De picked up the dishonest cat:

"Just treat it as a souvenir for being a detective's assistant today. I hope that our actions in Tobesk for a day today can leave you with memories worth commemorating. You should take this medicine; anyway, it came for free for me."

Tifa hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and thanked him in a low voice, then stuffed the small bottle into the pocket of her dress.

She brushed the hair hanging by her ear and said softly to Xia De:

"Mr. Hamilton..."

"Hmm?"

The maid smiled and shook her head gently:

"I spoke out of turn."

She said again:

"Xia De, today's memories are indeed a treasure of my life."

A breeze blew into the living room on the second floor of St. Deran Square number six from the window. Xia De looked at the maid beside him in the wind. Today was just another ordinary day for him.

(Lei Yi Yi Lu Na is praying...)

"Isn't this a bit too fast?"

Early Thursday morning, a carriage passed by the window, and the morning light shone into the room on the second floor of Silver Cross Avenue. Luweiya squinted at the black iron ring Xia De placed on the table and asked after a long time:

"I only let me divine this Relic on Monday morning, and you got it on Wednesday afternoon."

She touched the slightly cold ring, because she already knew the characteristics of the Relic, so the voice in her ear immediately reminded her what this was:

"And, this wasn't encountered by coincidence, but because you postponed the commission for nearly two months to get it... Is that Detective Sparrow Hamilton really just an ordinary person? How come the commissions he left you all have such serious problems?"

"No, no, first of all, Detective Sparrow is not an ordinary person, he might have a Carsenrik identity, but that's not important. Second, not every commission has problems. Three commissions have already been solved. Although the mistress tracking and the ophthalmologist caused some trouble, look, isn't Mia fine?"

Xia De poked the cat lying on the table. The latter stood up and looked at him, then lay down again.

"And, Miss Mia Gaude, although she complained in her letter that her family had fallen, she also lived quite well."

Xia De emphasized.

"I will go to the grave of that Mr. Sparrow Hamilton when I have time to divine his affairs."

Luweiya said helplessly, but she wasn't sure if this kind of coincidence was because of one of the two detectives, or because of that house. Judging from the current situation, even if Detective Sparrow hadn't encountered an accident, he would definitely have died because of other commissions later.

"Didn't I translate that parchment? This is a Relic of the Demon Hunters of the Third Era found by a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi hundreds of years ago. The seal will appear in the hands of those who can fight demons because of the connection of fate. This is one of the characteristics of the seal, it is the belief passed down by the brave people of ancient times... They are truly heroes."

"I know, I know, you plan to find that sword when you have time, and you gave that bottle of medicine to that big-chested beautiful maid."

She used a very unrefined way of speaking. Xia De didn't want to discuss female figures, so he took the initiative to change the topic:

"【Seal of Demon Hunting】 is obtained, 【Weak Angel Potion】 is also obtained, and I have also encountered the Secret Servant. The problem now is, if the location where we fight Darkness is not in the city, but inside the out-of-control Angel-level Relic 【Darkness Domain】 outside the city, how do we resist those weird Secret Servants? A single one is easy to deal with, but there isn't just one inside the Relic."

Luweiya told Xia De not to be nervous. Xia De had been hanging around in Tobesk for this period, but she had found more information:

"Killing demons requires specific methods. The Church has already mastered this method, so our President went to assist in handling this matter some time ago, so the Association also has information. Simply put, inside the Darkness Domain, those evil spirit demons that spread darkness fear light."

"But my Flash spell is useless."

"You actually still think that is a Flash spell... It is indeed useless. Specifically, their nemesis is the spirit rune of 【Light】 and its derivative concepts."

Speaking of this, Luweiya raised her neck confidently:

"And very coincidentally, both I and Lei Yi Yi Lu Na have corresponding spirit runes."

"In this way, only I cannot kill those Secret Servants."

Xia De nodded, already having an idea in his heart:

"Then how should the demon on Darkness be killed? What is its nemesis spirit rune?"

"Why do we kill it? What we need to solve is Ivan Darkness. And the other party hasn't been dealt with for thousands of years, even your Twelfth Tier friend in Coldwater Port doesn't dare to kill Darkness, worrying about releasing the demon, so we probably can't kill it either."

Luweiya said.

"Then if we kill Darkness, doesn't it mean we let go of that human pus demon?"

Xia De was very worried.

"Even if we can't kill the demon, the Church will take action. And, even if the Church is late again this time, we can still seal it. Xia De, the box you are keeping..."

Luweiya reminded him, and Xia De thought of 【God's Gift Box】. That box could seal divinity and accommodate out-of-control Relics, so there was no reason it couldn't seal a demon.

Although this would cause Xia De to be unable to get a gift every week, considering the uncertainty of those gifts, the loss didn't seem to be big.

"There's no problem then. Kill Darkness, seal the demon..."

Xia De took out his notebook and wrote and drew:

"Among the difficulties in fighting Darkness, his Sixth Tier Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi power is suppressed by Lei Yi Yi Lu Na's 【Balance】 talent; the power of the demon in his palm is resisted by the seal and magic potion; the darkness talent is still resisted by 【Balance】; even if he becomes that state where half of his body is entangled by black pus, I can use my Moonlight to drive away the erosion influence of absorbing negative emotions."

He raised his head and thought for a while:

"Looking at it this way, Darkness has already been completely defeated."

He also laughed himself, of course he knew this was impossible.

"This kind of prepared battle, especially the prepared battle where we know the other party's information, will of course be simpler, just like dealing with 'Silver-Eyed One' back then."

Luweiya, although her face was serious, didn't look worried that the three would fail:

"Once Darkness is discovered in the city, we will act immediately. We cannot delay time, we must kill him at the first opportunity."

"That's right, but in a situation where we really can't resist, letting the Church take over the battle is nothing."

Xia De reminded her that the Orthodox Church's attitude toward the second Chosen One was also dominated by "killing." The 【Darkness】 talent was nothing, but he shouldn't drive the weird existence left over from the Third Era.

The Church had a zero-tolerance attitude toward weird things with wisdom left over from the past era.

After saying goodbye to Luweiya, Xia De wanted to take advantage of the time to complete the last commission, which was the commission to help Miss White find her missing sister. But when Xia De visited the apartment of Miss Black, who was "missing" on the surface but actually ran away from home, he unexpectedly learned that the lady had gone to the countryside of Tobesk for vacation and wouldn't be back for at least half a month.

"This is also good, avoiding another accident. Detective Sparrow is really something, how come he always takes such strange commissions?"

Thus, Xia De could only shelve the commission again and wait patiently for Darkness to appear.

No news on Thursday. Xia De read books at home for a day, had no income, and went to the university area to walk the cat in the evening. He happened to meet Lei Yi Yi Lu Na who was performing a mission. Xia De waved at her across the street, but because Lei Yi Yi Lu Na had teammates beside her, the two didn't chat. At night, Xia De summarized the specific information of 【Xia De's Blood Echo】.

No news on Friday. Xia De read books at home for a day, had no income, and the ceremony to try to enhance 【Time Perception】 failed again.

In the evening, he visited Priest Augustus at the Dawn Church, was pulled by the priest to participate in the church's evening prayer activity, and after mixing a quite rich midnight snack with the cat, he talked about some political topics with Bishop Owen.

The Bishop seemed to intend to inquire about the subsequent actions of the Kingdom's New Continent exploration army after Prince Sax was arrested through Xia De.

Still no news on Saturday. Xia De read books at home for half a day, had no income, and participated in Dr. Schneider's study group in the afternoon. At the study group, Xia De submitted the information of the evolved miracle 【Xia De's Blood Echo】 to the library.

After the college library compared the information, it accepted the naming of 【Xia De's Blood Echo】.

He originally thought the college would only give a few coins to dismiss him, but this time, the college was quite generous and gave a reward

"Since when has the Academy been so generous?"

Xia De held that money, somewhat doubting whether this was currently a dream.

"This shows that the Academy believes the information on the sorcery you provided is very useful."

The doctor explained, looking at the notice in his hand with great annoyance.

The summer internship was cancelled, and an additional winter off-campus internship was added for this academic year. The Academy seemed to think that Tobesk was still unsafe, but in Xia De's view, St. Byrons had also realized the whereabouts of Dac Nisi.

After the study group ended, it was customary to have dinner with Dorothy and then begin the evening's lessons. Unexpectedly, just as he boarded the carriage from the intersection, the blonde Miss lowered her voice and said:

"Xia De, tonight's lesson is cancelled. Tonight, Lei Qianya will find time to leave Yodel Palace to see you."
