Chapter 655: Doctor and Balrog

"Ever since the matter of Priest Ao Gu Si, every time I see you appear here so early, I feel my heart jump."

This was the first sentence the doctor said while holding his forehead when Xia De, holding Mia, came to the psychologist's clinic on Friday morning.

"Doctor, this is a psychological problem; you should treat yourself."

Xia De teased and followed the doctor into the study.

"Detective, what are you doing this time? Coming so early, it shouldn't be for a walk."

"Of course not. I want to ask you about demons."

Xia De closed the study door while speaking. The doctor frowned while supporting the desk:

"Asked me what would happen if I drank demon blood a few days ago, and now I have to ask about demon information. Detective, you must not have too many intersections with demons like me; this is very dangerous."

"This time it's just an accident, Doctor, listen to me."

Xia De, holding Little Mia who had finished eating and was in high spirits, sat on the sofa, and then simply explained to the doctor the process of obtaining the 【Witcher Seal】. Finally, he explained in detail the sights he saw in the belly of the Xikar Mountains last night. The doctor was very surprised after hearing it, or it could be said that he was abnormally surprised:

"Why do you always encounter such strange things?"

"Doctor, what I saw yesterday, was it an exotic demon, or a Third Era evil spirit demon?"

"Demon" itself was just a powerful exotic creature, while the so-called "evil spirit demon" was a terrifying and twisted existence born in the Third Era. The latter had no specific image, but starting from a certain period of the Third Era, it appeared in physical form by borrowing the appearance of exotic demons, so the word "demon" usually refers to both of these creatures at the same time, and the means to counter demons could also produce effects on both of these "demons."

Even, the Ringed Shushi academic circle believed that in the current Sixth Era, it was completely possible to regard exotic demons and Third Era evil spirits as the same kind of creature.

"Listening to your description, I think it should be both. It is a very famous exotic demon. You will probably only know what this is when you come into contact with the list of dangerous exotic species in the third grade. The naming of this kind of demon is very complicated, but it has a famous abbreviation. The heroic epics of ordinary people have recorded this kind of monster."

"What abbreviation?"

"Balrog."

Seeing Xia De, who was holding the cat, looking very terrified, the doctor added:

"Rest assured, what is mentioned in heroic legends and the epics of bards is the 'Ancient Balrog.' And according to your description, the one you encountered should only be in the appearance of an ordinary Balrog, and this evil spirit itself, although ancient, is far worse than the Human Pus. It is even seriously injured and in a sealed state."

"Balrog... Then, what level of Ringed Shushi is needed to deal with a normal Balrog?"

Xia De asked carefully. The doctor thought for a moment:

"At least high-level, and you must have a special weapon. What you encountered is an evil spirit demon. This kind of demon is almost immortal. The most effective way to deal with them is sealing. I heard that there are quite a few demons sealed in the Zaras Academy."

Xia De lowered his head and pondered for a moment:

"That is to say, I'd better not move that sword and not move the seal set by the high-level Ringed Shushi eight hundred years ago?"

"No, that's a relic-level weapon. Isn't it too much of a pity to give it up?"

The doctor asked in confusion:

"Detective, aren't you interested in this kind of relic?"

"But I'm not sure if I can successfully deal with it. Although I have high-level Ringed Shushi friends in Midehillburg, without that sword, they might not be able to seal the demon again. Rather than risking letting that Balrog run away, it's better to let it stay quietly in the mountains. Midehillburg is already chaotic enough... Perhaps when I become a high-level Ringed Shushi, I can consider it again."

"Oh, so that's what you think."

The doctor waved his hand and said with a smile:

"For others, sealing it is the best choice, but for me, isn't it better to 'swallow' it while it's sealed? According to your description, it can't even leave that bonfire too far now, otherwise you couldn't have retreated unscathed last night."

"Doctor, although the other party is sealed, it is not as powerless as Human Pus."

Xia De reminded.

"It doesn't matter. If it were a complete evil spirit demon, I would tell you never to approach that place. But dealing with a demon in such a state, I am a professional."

The doctor nodded confidently. Xia De chose to believe the doctor:

"That's good. I'll go buy you a train ticket to Midehillburg, Doctor. Are you used to window seats or... forget it, first-class carriage directly, otherwise the journey will be very tiring."

He was about to get up and leave, but was immediately called back by the doctor:

"Wait a minute. The round trip between the two places takes at least half a month. But as the person in charge of the group, I cannot leave for so long without an application. If it's not discovered, it's fine; if it's discovered, the trouble will be big."

But the doctor couldn't apply to the Academy to go to Midehillburg. Midehillburg now involves the third Chosen One. The doctor has no legitimate reason, and the Academy will not agree to his application.

"Then what should we do?"

"Long-distance travel is not possible, then short-distance travel. Xia De, didn't you also use a relic provided by the Academy to go from here to St. Byron's in an instant?"

"Are you talking about that 【Damaged Old World Map】?"

The danger level of that relic is quite high, and it has always been contained in St. Byron's.

"Yes, although we don't have this relic in our hands, we can lower the standard. I don't need to stay in Midehillburg for a long time, just a few minutes. And there is a relic in Tobesk that can achieve long-distance short-time space transfer."

The doctor had a smile on his face, as if encountering a demon was a good thing for him:

"In the correspondence group of the Zaras Academy, it was still with them at least this spring. I think if I go to borrow it, I should be able to borrow it. Today is Friday, let me think... I will go borrow it today, and when you come to my place for a meeting tomorrow afternoon, I will tell you the result. If I can't borrow it, we will think of other ways. With such a good opportunity to let me swallow a demon again, Xia De, actually I care more about this than you."

"That's good, let's agree on this first."

Xia De prepared to bid farewell and leave, but thought of one more thing:

"I plan to go to Midehillburg on Sunday to see Priest Ao Gu Si. Since he gave me the arcane data last time, we haven't seen each other again. Doctor, is there anything you need me to convey to the Priest?"

"Just let Priest Ao Gu Si pay attention to safety."

The doctor waved his hand

Xia De prepared to say goodbye and leave, but then thought of one thing:

"I plan to go to Midhillburg on Sunday to see Priest Ao Gu Si. We haven't seen each other since he gave me the miracle information last time. Doctor, is there anything you need me to pass on to the Priest?"

"Just tell Priest Ao Gu Si to be careful."

The Doctor waved his hand, twisting his neck:

"I originally thought Tobesk would be dangerous enough this summer, but I didn't expect there to be so many things in Midhillburg. Tell Priest Ao Gu Si to be careful, and you be careful too. Don't run into the mountains if you don't have to; I'm afraid you'll encounter even stranger things."
