Chapter 750

Dr. Schneider was very busy on Monday afternoon; when Xia De came by carriage, he was conducting psychological counseling for a patient with severe insomnia recently, but still took time to meet Xia De.

Dr. Schneider's psychological counseling is charged by the length of time, so he is very good at hypnotic treatment. Treating insomnia caused by psychological diseases is even more handy.

Xia De didn't hide what he was going to do, just didn't say he accepted the witches' commission.

After the doctor finished listening, he frowned tightly and shook his head gently:

"If not necessary, I don't suggest you do such a dangerous thing.

But since you have decided, I will not interfere with your choice; be careful. I don't have any suggestions for you; after all, I haven't been to the life-and-death Interstice you mentioned. Entering a dream is indeed unable to carry relics, but I have a way to make you not so embarrassed... Wait a moment."

He let Xia De wait in the reception room for a while, and he walked out of the room.

It took a long time for the doctor to return, holding a black crystal pendant in his hand. The black thin rope woven with exquisite craftsmanship was connected to the golden hook at the top of the crystal in a sailor's knot way. The crystal presented a hexagonal appearance, and the flat look was unremarkable. On the crystal plane, incantations written in demon language were depicted, and the distorted symbols could be perceived as filthy just by looking at them:

"The alchemical item 'Demon Amulet' I made myself. When entering a dream, hold it in your hand, and you can use part of the demon's power in the dream."

The doctor handed the pendant to Xia De and then added:

"Rest assured, using this power will not pollute your soul. But the soul injured by this power may be corrupted by the demon's power, so don't let others see you use it... or don't let others see it's you."

If Xia De and the doctor didn't have such a deep friendship, the doctor would never take out such a thing. Because this is evidence, evidence that clearly shows that the doctor has a connection with demons.

Xia De also understood the risk of the doctor doing this:

"I will be cautious. Doctor, how many pounds do I need to pay you?"

"No need, last time you took me to devour the flame demon, I haven't officially thanked you yet. If you really want to thank me, next time you encounter a demon..."

He paused and then shook his head immediately:

"You must not encounter demons again; those things are not what humans should touch. In short, be careful in the dream; hope the friends who entrusted you can really guarantee your safety."

Since the doctor can give Xia De the power of the death angel to bring into the dream, then Priest Augustus should also be able to give Xia De the power of the death angel to bring into the dream. But the priest has already followed the church's team into the Sikar Mountains, and Xia De can't find him at all, so he temporarily has no chance to use the power of demons and angels at the same time.

Seeing that the time was still early, after dealing with the matters in Tobesk, Xia De went to Midhillburg to see Iluna. Iluna didn't enter the mountain; she would stay in the local Church of Nature, responsible for the core part of the ritual.

Near the start of the ritual, it was not easy to see Iluna in the Church of the Sun. After meeting Xia De in a hurry, Iluna also knew what Xia De was going to do. Although she was as worried as Luweiya, because she had full confidence in Xia De, she just reminded him to pay attention to safety.

"The ritual will be held tomorrow evening or the evening after tomorrow; after the ritual ends, I will take the steam airship back to Tobesk and should be able to see you in Tobesk on the weekend."

The seventeen-year-old girl looked very happy:

"Xia De, after I go back, let's go eat and watch opera with Luweiya. Although the scenery of Midhillburg is not bad, being in the church preparing for the ritual all day, or following the team to clear evil spirits in the city, is really boring. The evil spirits I have seen recently are more than I have seen since I finished the training period and left the Holy See."

"Don't say such things before the dangerous things end."

Xia De warned, and Iluna nodded:

"Then pay attention to safety. However, the power of the Truth Society in the local area has been cleared, and the vampire species who don't know what they are doing have been confirmed not to enter the city. Now the academy and the church are working together, I can't think of any omissions in this matter except for the accident of Joey Barton."

Precisely because one couldn't think of possible accidents, the following things were full of risks everywhere.

Saying goodbye to Iluna, Xia De went to the Midhillburg Post Office again. Due to the thick fog in the whole city and the night martial law order of the City Hall, there were few people in the post office. People living here, although they didn't know what would happen next, also understood the unusualness of this matter from the thick fog that lasted for a whole week.

Everyone looked worried, and the local newspaper sold by the post office was also reminding citizens not to enter the mountain area in the last two days and to close doors and windows tightly after nightfall. Even when inquiring about news, Xia De also heard rumors of the post office being haunted last night.

The church had already sent people to handle it this morning, and people were also forbidden to talk about the details of this matter. Even those who didn't believe in the existence of ghosts had to admit at this time that Midhillburg had become increasingly strange recently.

Before the post office got off work this evening, it was the last chance to mail letters to the Red Water Camp on the mountain. Xia De mailed the evil spirit expulsion amulet he carried with him and the letter reminding to pay attention to safety to Captain Lades. The captain would definitely participate in the church's action to block the mountain forest; Xia De hoped that one of the few ordinary friends he had in this world could be safe and sound in this matter.

Walking out of the post office looking at the thick fog all over the sky, Xia De knew very well that even if the church prepared fully, there would definitely not be no sacrifices. The church could only make the losses smaller, but what the final ending of Midhillburg City was, even the most brilliant diviner couldn't say clearly now:

"I was completely unprepared before the night of the God Descent in Tobesk, and I was only uneasy before Darkness entered the Dark Realm. This time, the situation seems even worse; do the stories of the Chosen Ones always have to end in disaster..."

Because before leaving Tobesk, he had temporarily fostered little Mia with Dorothy, so after leaving the post office and finding a carriage, Xia De went directly to the witch's manor and had dinner with Miss Aurora.

The coachman who sent Xia De to the manor was also very worried; he planned to rest for two days after sending Xia De. Even if there was no income at home, he couldn't work in this weather. From his mouth, Xia De learned about the evil spirit that appeared in the city every evening and randomly boarded a carriage. Since last Wednesday, four coachmen had disappeared because of this, and their bodies were later found in the Sikar Mountains.

And this kind of thing was no longer strange in Midhillburg City under the thick fog.

In the evening, there was nothing to do, and Miss Aurora exchanged a few moves with Xia De in the spacious basement of the manor. Xia De was not the witch's opponent; even if the other party deliberately suppressed the power of sorcery and curses, he still couldn't take any advantage.

Miss Aurora was trying Xia De's current fighting style and provided him with many suggestions afterwards.

From 12 o'clock midnight to 2 o'clock in the morning, the two spent time in the study. For a small part of the time, Miss Aurora told Xia De about the scenery of Carsonrick in the south, and for most of the time, they analyzed the situation in Midhillburg together.

The witch believed that even if the sealing ritual of "Trace of the Holy Tree" was successful, the accidents caused by the violent vibration and resistance of the Interstice would at least cause three-digit or even four-digit sacrifices in the city. She was not alarmist, and the most tragic thing was that this was the best result she could think of.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Miss Aurora and Xia De took a carriage and went to the Cassandra Auction House in the center of Mibao City in the thick fog of the night.

The late autumn night was already full of chill, plus the thick fog diffusing from the Interstice, the whole city seemed to have completely fallen into slumber. Besides Xia De, the witch, and the female coachman, there were also Miss Aurora's maid and an accompanying 6-ring sorceress in the carriage.

Xia De chatted with Miss Aurora about cat-raising experiences while looking at the night in the thick fog.

When they turned left on Elm Street and entered Constantine Commercial Street, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The witch frowned, and the coachman's voice also came at this time:

"Miss, there is a little girl standing on the road ahead."

"More than 90% probability is an evil spirit."

Miss Aurora said and got off the carriage with Xia De.

Carriage lamps were hung in the front and back of the carriage, but that lamp light, like the gas lamps on the side of the road, could only make the white fog slightly luminous. In the thick fog ahead, the figure of a small girl appeared and disappeared. She stood motionless in the center of the road; even if the coachman shook the carriage lamp, he couldn't drive her to the side.

"News of haunting in the local area has appeared frequently recently; citizens are avoiding going out at night, just worrying about encountering this kind of situation."

Miss Aurora introduced to Xia De, and then let Xia De not walk around; she wanted to solve this matter personally:

"Not very strong, we are in a hurry, you don't have to come over."

The witch's figure in a long dress walked into the fog and soon disappeared, while the girl's figure was still standing in the middle of the road.

Xia De raised his eyebrows and looked at the coachman; the latter shrugged to indicate that Xia De didn't need to be anxious.

Sure enough, dozens of seconds later, the thick fog ahead was illuminated by golden light. With a dull roar, everything returned to calm.

The girl's figure disappeared, and Miss Aurora walked over again, with no trace of fighting at all:

"Let's go, hope not to encounter evil spirits blocking the road again."

"What did that evil spirit want to do?"

Returning to the carriage, Xia De asked curiously.

"She asked me where her mother was."

The witch sat opposite Xia De, her body leaning against the carriage wall, where there were soft cushions:

"Souls will always have all kinds of unwillingness and obsessions, but sympathizing with them will only make oneself a fool. What should go cannot be kept; many people just don't understand this truth."

"Then do you think I can successfully persuade Joey Barton to give up resurrecting the dead?"

Xia De asked, and Miss Aurora smiled:

"Some people can't let go once they pick it up; this requires them to figure it out themselves, not rely on others to persuade. Xia De, don't you know the answer yourself?"

The clattering horse hooves couldn't spread very far, and the carriage that set off again soon disappeared into the thick fog. In the middle of the night, evil spirits wandered in the city, and church teams ran in the shadows. The moon hung in the sky as usual, so quiet and beautiful. It's just that this moon, for a short time, could not shine on the City of Mountains under the white fog.
