Chapter 624: The Cat in the Wardrobe

By the time Xia De changed his clothes and returned to the living room holding the cat that seemed to be dozing off, Lu Wei Ya had already brought the teapot. In three months, the high-end black tea left by Detective Sparrow had been exhausted, but in order to commemorate that detective, Xia De specially found a shop in the city that sold the same tea leaves and bought some more, so the current black tea was still that kind of tea leaves.

"In general, from the people I met, I suspect Priest Ao Gu Si and Sister Daifulin of the Ring Mage Order are Chosen Ones. This suspicion is baseless and has no value."

Xia De said his harvest and placed the only remaining blood money on the table. Lu Wei Ya played with the 【Standing Coin】 in her hand and listened quietly to Xia De's account of his observations before and after rescuing Priest Ao Gu Si:

"The only thing that can be determined now is that the third Chosen One is the Chosen One of 'Death'."

She summarized and looked at the coin in her hand:

"I have already tried it during the day, and this coin has a very poor compatibility with my divination. Using this to divine won't yield much."

After all, the main characteristic of that 【Standing Coin】 lies in the standing state of the coin, not its tradability.

The situation now is different from the Chosen One of "Darkness" more than a month ago. At that time, Xia De got a whole pocket of special coins from the 【Fish Bone Pirate Ship】, but now they only have two coins in their hands, and the three believe that the blood money cannot be consumed at will.

"I applied for currency-type relics from the church some time ago, and I think there will be results this week."

Yi Lu Na reminded, but if it was only one or two, it would still be impossible to find the Chosen One accurately like last time.

"Then the recent arrangement is that I will try my luck in Midhillburg, understand local folklore and legends, monitor the Boundary of Life and Death, and prepare for what happens later. You two are responsible for finding coins, or listening to news from the Diviner Society and the church."

Xia De said:

"Currently, the 【Whispering Chapter】 containing information about the Chosen One of Death is at least partially mastered by the Five Gods Church, and the Academy should only know very little news."

He looked at Yi Lu Na, who nodded:

"No problem, I will try my best to find out the news this week. If the church clarifies the matter of the Chosen One, they will also let me go to Midhillburg. In addition, Xia De, give you this."

She took out a brooch with a sun-pattern holy emblem that looked very familiar from her handbag:

"The movement made by Midhillburg should be greater than the movement of Dac Nisi last month. The matter of 【Whispering Chapter】 will become more and more important in the material world. Xia De, you must be careful in your actions in Midhillburg."

"I understand, I have some friends in the local area who can help me."

Xia De nodded and took the brooch. Xiao Miya immediately widened her eyes and looked at it. Except for the two rings on her tail, this cat has always been very interested in items related to the power of the sun... for example, she likes to bask in the sun and take a nap.

Xia De looked at Lu Wei Ya again:

"In addition, can you find some information about the 【Ring Mage Order】 in the Diviner Society? I want to know if the emergence of the order is related to the local tradition of worshipping death, worshipping the moon, and worshipping the mountain."

Not letting Yi Lu Na help check is to prevent the church from paying attention to the blind sisters and brothers.

Lu Wei Ya nodded:

"Speaking of this, it reminds me. The Ring Mage Order does worship death. Perhaps besides the Sister Daifulin you mentioned, there are others in the order related to 【Death】."

"I will pay attention, but I don't think it will go very smoothly. After all, I don't have any reason to pay attention to the talent of every member of the order... Oh, and, who of you knows about the Phoenix?"

Xia De asked suddenly, briefly describing his experience in the afternoon, and then took out the red stone whose material no one knew. There is no sunlight now, but Yi Lu Na can simulate the light of the sun, allowing the three to see the flying bird in the red stone.

"In the remnants of Miss Feilian, there is some basic knowledge about aliens. I only know that this kind of creature can be reborn in fire."

"I don't know much about this creature, but I remember that when I drew divination cards at the beginning of the month, the Phoenix appeared."

Lu Wei Ya reminded, and Xia De nodded.

Xia De is 【Phoenix】, Lu Wei Ya is 【Broken Fate】, the doctor is 【Lucky One】, Priest Ao Gu Si is 【Death】, and Dorothy is 【Red Butterfly】.

"I know!"

Yi Lu Na said an answer Xia De didn't expect. Seeing that the other two were looking at her, the seventeen-year-old girl was a little embarrassed:

"The image of the Phoenix is related to the sun, so our church has a lot of knowledge about the Phoenix. It's just that the Phoenix is an alien creature that has disappeared. I don't know if they have all left the material world or are hiding there. The church believes that the Sechs Higher Medical College among the three major strange spell colleges should have relevant information, and perhaps knows where the Phoenixes have gone."

"Do you think the ancient one who sealed the channel at the top of the mountain in the boundary is the Phoenix?"

Lu Wei Ya asked Xia De, and Xia De nodded:

"Just a guess."

The three discussed the matter of the third Chosen One until late at night. The 【Standing Coin】 was returned to Xia De by Lu Wei Ya. After all, it was useless for her to hold it.

Yi Lu Na left at ten o'clock in the evening, and she had a mission the next day. Lu Wei Ya didn't leave. Her pile of stargazing instruments was finally installed after two days of busy work, so before the best stargazing time in autumn ended, that is, in the past half a month, she would spend time at Xia De's place late at night every few days. Today is the first day of stargazing, because work started at ten o'clock, so she probably had to work until around one o'clock in the morning.

The bed on the first floor of 6 St. Deran Plaza had been tidied up, and Lu Wei Ya could use it at any time, so Xia De greeted the female diviner and returned to the bedroom after washing up.

First, he copied the story of "Sleeping Princess" given by Lei Qianya, and then flipped through the book "Thunder Book" of the next spiritual rune guided by the college.

He went to bed at eleven o'clock after leaving the desk. The hot tea was placed on the bedside table. Xia De held the cat under the gas lamp above the bedside and read his sophomore textbook "The Great Ones Who Went Away: Old Gods" for a while. This book was twice as thick as an ordinary red brick, and he didn't turn off the lights to sleep until around twelve o'clock.

He planned to set off for Midhillburg at nine o'clock tomorrow morning because the priest had an appointment to meet at ten o'clock. After that, he could walk around in that mountain city, whether it was to visit local folklorists or to find that relic sword.

After closing his eyes, the outsider with good sleep quality soon entered a dreamland, and silence descended on this bedroom. I don't know how long it took, the little Xiao Miya curled up beside the pillow suddenly opened her eyes, and her amber eyes seemed to be shining in the dark.

She stood up, first ground her claws on Xia De's pillow very seriously, and then made a sharp cry at the door:

"Meow~"

"What's wrong?"

Xia De, who was very alert, sat up suddenly, the silver moon light on his right hand shone towards the bedroom door, and his left hand pulled out the Moonlight Greatsword and placed it in front of him. And under that light, it was the purple-eyed girl in pajamas.

That white dress was very light and thin, a bit unsuitable for this season, but the small white flower tucked behind her ear was very beautiful:

"Young knight, I am a poor girl passing by here. It's a bit cold tonight, do you mind if I warm up here?"

Lu Wei Ya tilted her head and said.

"Hmm..."

The silver moon light on Xia De's right hand was still shining, but the sword on his left hand turned into silver light spots and disappeared. He also noticed that Lu Wei Ya was actually barefoot.

"Oh, handsome knight, please agree to my request, it's really cold outside."

She said with a smile, her purple eyes reflecting the light from Xia De's fingertips, the purple glow suffusing the darkness was very beautiful. Although her actual age was greater than that of the Outsider's current body, Luweiya truly had a youthful air.

Speaking of which, among the girls Xia De knows, the only ones younger than him are seventeen-year-old Yiluna and sixteen-year-old Princess Angelina.

"Is it a dream or reality now?"

Xia De asked in his heart.

【Reality, the kind of reality you expect.】

"She" chuckled.

The purple-eyed girl walked into the door, her hands behind her back, her back against the door, and closed the bedroom door bit by bit. Her fair feet stepped on the floor, making a very interesting sound:

"Knight, tonight, are you willing to touch my darkness?"

Xia De had heard of this metaphor. There was such a saying in "The Queen and Her Lovers" left by Detective Sparrow, and he had studied that book thoroughly.

Scattering the moonlight on his fingertips, he looked at the cat beside him, then at the bedroom door that had been closed tightly, and finally looked at the wardrobe by the wall.

So Xiao Miya spent the rest of the night in the wardrobe. ===== CHAPTER 625 =====
