Chapter 584: Crystal, Coin, and Blood
Even if Xia De could successfully arrive in Midehillburg, it would not be easy to find the missing priest in a huge, unfamiliar city. And given Priest Ao Gu Si's current situation, he probably couldn't wait for Xia De's needle-in-a-haystack search. And 【Xia De's Blood Echo】 could only see traces left by the owner of the body fluid within 24 hours, so he had to set off before the afternoon.
Actually, the sooner the better. Although the priest entrusted the dream at night, this didn't mean he must have encountered danger and immediately found Xia De.
"Okay, I can perform a cost divination. But you went to play cards last night, how did you get a new coin?"
Lu Lu Weiya took the coin from Xia De's hand, looked at the front and back, and nodded very surely:
"I know this. The poet-level relic 【Liar's Coin】 belongs to the kind of relic with the least negative characteristics. This coin will always end with the holder being deceived, and then fall into the hands of the next holder. That is to say, holding it, you will definitely be deceived... Who did you deceive?"
"I didn't deceive anyone."
Xia De said, watching Lu Lu Weiya close her eyes and prepare to toss the coin, but he felt very strange in his heart:
"But now this coin has transferred from my hand to Lu Lu Weiya's hand... What did she deceive me about?"
The coin was tossed in the moving carriage and fell at the highest point of its flight, scattering into fly ash. Because the power of this poet-level relic as "currency" itself was not strong, the power it could provide for Lu Lu Weiya's cost divination was not strong either. Using this to find the third chosen one was definitely impossible, but finding Priest Ao Gu Si's blood was still possible.
Lu Lu Weiya opened her eyes, and purple arc light flashed in her pupils:
"The blood you want is in Priest Ao Gu Si's potion workshop. Sometimes human blood is needed to configure potions. If it's a small amount, Priest Ao Gu Si uses his own. He kept some and hid it under the large iron box in the lower left corner of the basement. Although there are ice cubes to preserve it, I'm afraid it's no longer fresh."
"Understood, as long as it's still blood. But if it's not fresh, the duration of my miracle will be shortened, we must act as soon as possible."
The Tobeisike Mining Association is located in the De La Rui Ang Royal University in the University District. Originally, the association had nothing to do with the university, but because of the Kingdom's geological exploration policy for the New Continent and the newly established Geology Department of De La Rui Ang Royal University, the Tobeisike Mining Association, an originally semi-civilian organization, was affiliated with the university. (Note)
A white sign hung on the pillar at the entrance of the association, and the interior looked more like an exhibition hall than a university research room. After explaining his intention, Xia De met Mr. Francis, the president of the Mining Association, and confirmed that there was indeed a Bai Shi Crystal hidden here.
"However, this kind of mineral is difficult to process, Mr. Hamilton, what are you buying this for?"
Mr. Francis, who also taught at the university, agreed to sell the crystal, which was the only one in the association, to Xia De at a price of 30 pounds each, but he was puzzled by this.
"Precisely because it is difficult to destroy and difficult to modify, although it is useless except for being very beautiful, doesn't this just conform to the metaphor of 'love'? 'Bai Shi Crystal lasts forever, one will be passed down forever.' I plan to polish and cut it and give it to the girl beside me."
Xia De said nonsense, and under Mr. Francis's slightly puzzled expression and Lu Lu Weiya's expression of holding back laughter, he got the crystal that could obtain new coordinates.
Next, Xia De and Lu Lu Weiya went to Dawn Square, opened the workshop Priest Ao Gu Si had in a friend's basement, and found the blood he had hidden.
Ringed Shushi usually don't put their blood anywhere, because many curses are launched with blood as a medium.
Although the priest was a bit careless, the blood he left was actually not much. The liquid content only covered the bottom of the bottle. Roughly estimating the degree of deterioration, Xia De thought this should be enough to open 【Xia De's Blood Echo】 for about three to five hours.
"Time is very tight."
When the two returned to Saint Deran Square together, Dorothy and Doctor Shi Nai De had not arrived yet. Because they were not sure what the situation was on the other side of the 【Space Labyrinth】, whether they needed diving and swimming, or needed wilderness survival, Lu Lu Weiya helped Xia De pack his things, and then turned those things into toys for him to carry on his body.
Xiao Miya watched Xia De pack his things from the side the whole time. It probably guessed that Xia De was going on a long journey, so it looked very unhappy.
Until 12:00 noon, Dorothy and Doctor Shi Nai De arrived one after another.
Dorothy didn't get a way to get good luck, but quietly gave Xia De a pendant with the Royal Family crest, and explained that with this badge, he could go to the Midehillburg Police Hall to seek help. This should be Lei Qianya's thing.
Doctor Shi Nai De brought the relic he mentioned, but the characteristics of the relic were a bit different from what Xia De thought:
"It's this."
In the second-floor living room, Little Xiao Miya squatted on the back of the sofa behind Xia De's head, watching the four people sitting around the coffee table.
What the doctor took out was an item contained in an iron box oozing blood. I don't know how the coachman let him get on the carriage.
Only after opening the box did he find that it contained blood water, and the doctor, enduring the nausea, fished out a strand of black hair from the blood water:
"Don't worry, this is pig blood. This relic must be contained in blood."
He placed the fine, long black hair, which was about a dozen strands, onto the towel Xia De had prepared. As the relic left the containment environment, some fragmented whispers gradually became clear in his ears.
Those hairs were actually slowly wriggling on the towel like worms. Not only Xiao Miya, who was meowing, but Xia De, Lu Lu Weiya, and Dorothy all felt uncomfortable.
"Keeper-level relic 【Unfortunate Hair】, this is actually a relic that brings bad luck."
The doctor said, carefully using his fingers to dip some pig blood and sprinkle it on the hair. The whispering sound in the surrounding environment weakened, and it immediately stopped moving. The coin just now could be held in the hand without any problem, while these hairs would have abnormalities as long as they were not in a containment environment, which was enough to prove their power.
"Very dangerous, abnormally dangerous. Alan originally planned to hand it over to the Se Ke Sai Si Higher Medical Academy on the weekend. If it weren't for my borrowing, he would absolutely not be willing to take it out. Legend has it that this is the hair of an unfortunate lady who lived in the Third Era. Her life was full of accidents of all sizes, and she could even choke while drinking water..."
Although the doctor's luck was not very good, it was limited to having very little good luck, and it was not exaggerated to this extent.
"After she died, the hair was obtained by a supernatural being of the Third Era and made into a curse item of bad luck. After long years, it became this relic that brings bad luck." ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
