Chapter 671

~8 min read 1,450 words

Dinner was cooked by the witch's chef using the bear Xia De had hunted in the Sikar Mountains, and even Mia got a share. And the relic transaction that night did not have any other complications.

The doctor's reputation was indeed greater. That group leader of the correspondence Ringed Shushi of the Zalas Academy in Tobesk, Mr. Neil Yang, who looked to be in his thirties, was a very talkative person, and he had already considered the details of the transaction clearly.

After a simple negotiation between the two sides, the final result was that Xia De received 102 pounds in compensation, completing the transaction of the 【Corpse-Hiding Mirror】 and the 【Traveler's Travel Door】.

And in order to bring that heavy door with a metal base home, Xia De had to spend a large amount of money to rent a carriage. The doctor drove the carriage to deliver the door to No. 6 St. Deran Square, and then called Luvia, who was stargazing on the third floor, to help move the door upstairs.

And in view of the purpose of this door, Xia De did not put it in the basement, but placed it in the temporarily vacant Room 2 on the second floor. In this way, the number of special "doors" in Xia De's house increased to three. Although the 【Traveler's Travel Door】 could not be compared with the two doors in the basement, at least this door was one that everyone could use.

To celebrate his acquisition of this door and prevent it from becoming a decoration, Xia De invited Luvia, who slept on the first floor, to experience the function of this door early Tuesday morning.

The purple-eyed girl had not been in good spirits since last week due to special physiological reasons, but hearing that she could go to Midhillburg to take a look, she readily agreed to Xia De's proposal at the dining table.

Thus, after breakfast, Xia De first took the key to the 【Traveler's Travel Door】 and headed to Midhillburg. After jumping from the basement to the first floor of the ruined tower, he walked out of the ruined tower, went around to the back of the tower, and arrived at the cliff overlooking half of Midhillburg.

Taking out the key, after turning it twice clockwise and twice counter-clockwise, as the door appeared, the girl with short brown hair carefully stretched her head to look, and then stepped out over the door frame.

She took a deep breath to feel the fresh air in the mountains, then stood side by side with Xia De in the forest, looking out at the Midhillburg urban area spreading out into the distance below the mountain:

"Is this the place? I haven't left Tobesk for a long time. The air in these mountains and forests is really nice."

Or rather, the air in Tobesk was very poor.

"Can you feel anything here?"

Xia De asked curiously. As a diviner, Luvia had very powerful inspiration.

"It's a hard feeling to describe, specifically..."

She did not continue, because Xia De suddenly frowned:

"Luvia, please wait, something on me is vibrating, there is magic nearby... no, the pendant on my chest should be heating up, it's something in my pocket that is vibrating."

Reaching into his pocket, the thing that was vibrating was actually that red blood coin. Xia De immediately looked around:

"Blood coin resonance! There are other blood coins nearby! But how could this be? What is the situation? Every time I come to Midhillburg, I stand here and look at the city, but why only this time... and, I have appeared in this city so many times, I have never encountered blood coin resonance. How is it that as soon as you appear, Luvia, this situation happens immediately?"

Luvia smiled and did not speak. The two waited for a while and found that the vibration frequency of the blood coin did not change at all, which meant that the other 【Pirate's Blood Coin】 not far away had not moved its position.

"What is the situation with this? After appearing abruptly, it actually stopped moving."

"Xia De, my time is up."

The purple-eyed girl reminded:

"Iluna said that the earthquake not long ago led to a comprehensive strengthening of the evil spirits near the Sikar Mountains, and at the same time, the probability of relics appearing increased. The 【Pirate's Blood Coin】 itself will not move, perhaps something else brought it over, just like the pirate ship you encountered in Coldwater Port."

"I understand, you leave first, there is not enough time."

Luvia nodded and stepped over the threshold again. Xia De picked up the fallen key and returned home through the hidden wall in the basement of the ruined tower, inserting the key that could not leave the door lock for a long time.

"I want to investigate the matter of the other blood coin."

Luvia did not say anything to stop Xia De, after all, this was something that had to be done:

"You just need to go and investigate what the situation is there. If you can't deal with it, aren't there helpers in the city below the mountain? Those witches."

Xia De nodded, still unable to understand how the blood coin suddenly ran to the mountain:

"I have the sword, and I will go down the mountain later to find Grandma Cassandra to identify the relic, so you help me take care of Mia today."

"I won't be stargazing here tonight, but I will come to help you feed the cat in the evening."

The purple-eyed girl said:

"Iluna should be able to arrive in Midhillburg today, you can go find that blood coin with her."

"I understand."

Xia De kissed her on the face:

"Then, wish me luck."

Still wrapping the sharp silver sword with a bed sheet, Xia De came to Midhillburg from the basement again. After walking out of the hidden space affected by the power of the Old God, the blood coin immediately vibrated again.

Currently, this blood coin was in an unactivated state, and its ability to vibrate meant that the position of the other blood coin should be quite close to here.

"What could it be?"

Relying on the strength of the vibration frequency, he pursued the whereabouts of the blood coin in the mountains and forests. In fact, the destination was not far from the ruined tower. Xia De only walked toward the mountain for less than twenty minutes before he saw the clearing and the large mansion on the clearing in the dense forest where fallen leaves were flying.

【Outsider, you have touched a whisper.】

The building was surrounded by an iron fence with black spikes on the top. Inside the fence was a three-story building with white walls, and its area was about five or six times that of No. 6 St. Deran Square. From the gate of the fence, a small path paved with gravel connected to the distance of the forest. Looking at the direction, it seemed to be the direction of the main road into the mountain.

"A location-type relic..."

Having just seen the sand table of the Sikar Mountains at the Redwater Camp not long ago, Xia De was very sure that such a large mansion used for noble vacations should not exist nearby.

He stood in the forest, not daring to approach, but chose to walk around this flat forest clearing in the dense forest. He discovered the stables, wells, and a small flower garden behind the mansion inside the fence. This building, which looked a bit old, did not have any particularly abnormal places from the outside.

And when Xia De walked around to the forest near the gravel path, a strong sense of impulse actually wanted to force him to walk out of the forest and step onto that path. Fortunately, this sense of impulse, although similar to the degree of wanting to straighten a crooked book among neatly arranged books, was not unacceptable.

He stood in the forest like this, squinting his eyes to look at the fence gate. The black fence gate was twisted at the door frame with complex iron craftsmanship, making it look like tangled vines.

And at the very top of the fence gate, those pitch-black metals were twisted together, forming a string of letters that looked like a black snake:

"Sin Mansion? This kind of text..."

He patted his head, and staring at those letters actually made him a bit dizzy:

"Okay, it really is a location-type relic."

Xia De noted the location here, and then went down the mountain. Just as Luvia said, he had no reason to break in alone now.
