Chapter 828

~7 min read 1,389 words

After leaving the King's study, Xia De did not leave Yodel Palace immediately, but waited in the waiting room until Director Anluosi also finished the meeting, and had lunch with his superior at a club in the city.

Director Anluosi of MI6 acted very cautiously. Under the dim light of this club, which was a laundry on the surface, he emphasized the importance of this task to Xia De. The restaurant of the club is a booth far apart. This place is also one of the strongholds of MI6 in the city. The atmosphere and concealment are completely in line with the imagination of ordinary citizens about secret agent organizations.

Actually, Xia De's task is not heavy. All he has to do is monitor the Karsenrick princess in social occasions and observe as much as possible whether she has contacted special figures. In general, treating himself as a young gentleman trying to develop a friendly relationship with a foreign princess is the key to this mission.

Xia De did not comment on the nature of this task, but he was very curious about how Miss Miss Jia Lin Na viewed this task. Director Anluosi, who belongs to Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's camp, gave the answer in the club:

"The Duchess also supports you in executing this task. If you can gain something, operate it slightly next spring. Although it is difficult to change from a knight to a baron, at least your status in MI6 will definitely be different."

Contacting Margaret Anjou was already in Xia De's plan. After all, he needed a suitable reason to approach Mr. Leggins Puli Xia, who possessed the core spiritual rune of "Guidance Moon". Collecting the spiritual light of the other party's core spiritual rune cannot be achieved by just shaking hands, so approaching "Guidance Moon" through the princess is the most correct way.

But anyway, the visiting group has not yet arrived in Tobesk. Xia De can only wait patiently and carefully collect reimbursement vouchers. Because during this mission, his reimbursement limit was increased to 1000 pounds, and if there were special needs, he could apply for more financial support.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Anluosi that afternoon, Xia De sighed at the end of his peaceful life, so he didn't stay at home to continue reading, but took Mia, who was reluctant to leave the house, to Coldwater Port.

Coldwater Port in late autumn is still bustling and lively. At the Seven Brooms Tavern in the dock area, while confirming the commission for recycling special coins, Xia De heard people here chatting about Midhill.

Such a big event as the descent of God spread throughout the material world in just a few days. Three weeks later, supernatural beings had more topics to fear, and speculated about what was going on this year.

Looking at the history of the entire Sixth Era, it is not that there has never been two divine descent events in one year, but those are usually related things. The Tobesk in midsummer and the Midhill in late autumn, although both appeared to have the moon god suspected of being an Old God, the two events seemed to have no connection.

Since there is a first time and a second time, there may be a third time. Even though the matter of "Whisper Poems" is known to only a few people, now supernatural beings everywhere can feel the turbulence of the world.

Xia De was probably favored by an unknown goddess today. Not only did he have an extra job with a good income at noon, but in the afternoon at the Seven Brooms Tavern in Coldwater Port, the commission he had posted for more than three months to acquire special coins actually had news.

Because Xia De paid the deposit in advance at the tavern, the bartender replaced Xia De and bought the two coins directly. This is a coin Xia De had seen before, the document-level relic 【Dandelion Coin】. Blowing gently on it can make the coin fly, and using the coin can summon any kind of wind that may appear in the local environment.

This kind of coin has a light blue metallic color that makes people feel happy. Although it is close to one penny in size, although both sides have dandelion patterns, only one side is engraved with strange characters. That is the characters of the elemental creatures - wind spirits in the legend—

【May the wind take away all thoughts.】

The two coins cost Xia De 124 pounds and 3 shillings. This kind of document-level relic is more valuable because it can amplify any supernatural power related to wind. Otherwise, the price of ordinary document-level relics would not be so high.

Since Mia saw this kind of coin last time and "blew it away", it kept blowing at Xia De, so this time Xia De did not let the cat touch the coin again, but the cat still recognized this interesting toy.

He took the good mood of acquiring the coins and took a carriage to the old lighthouse outside the city. Unexpectedly, Mr. Edmund brought him better news, and there was more than one good news.

"Special coins you want."

Just after walking to the top of the sea cliff where the old lighthouse is located, Mr. Edmund, who was carrying a water bucket and a fishing rod, walked up the small path and said.

Although this old gentleman is the lighthouse keeper of this old lighthouse, his daily work is actually quite leisurely. Probably he spends more time as a black market trader than maintaining the lighthouse.

"Special coins? How many?"

Xia De asked with a smile. Unexpectedly, after the matter of the Chosen One of Death ended, he was able to find these coins easily. Consuming the last blood money a few weeks ago was the right choice now. Using blood money to find blood money will only make oneself fall into the curse of blood money.

"One, do you think specific relics are so easy to find?"

Mr. Edmund said, handed the water bucket to Xia De, and opened the lighthouse door. A week ago, the 【Spiritual Cultivation Sect】 had already contacted this old man, and the 【Light-Guiding Ascetic Society】 also gave Sister Daifulin valuable information and made a lot of money, so the old man was more friendly to Xia De.

Xia De, holding Mia, followed Mr. Edmund into the first floor of the lighthouse. The latter walked to the table, opened the drawer, picked up a tattered small leather bag tied with hemp rope, and threw it into Xia De's hand.

Opening the bag, inside was a sky-blue coin. But unlike the 【Dandelion Coin】 just obtained, this blue color is not natural, and the traces of artificiality are very serious:

"Poet level - 【Coin of Wisdom】. Throw this coin into a water cup and drink the water. It can briefly improve your wisdom and enhance your talent in certain fields. But when the coin's effect disappears, it will slightly damage your intelligence, and high-frequency use in a short time will confuse your spirit. It is very interesting that this kind of coin is addictive."

The old gentleman said while turning his back to Xia De, carrying a water kettle and preparing to boil water, sighing:

"Wisdom is also addictive, but who can give up that excellent talent?"

Long-term high-frequency use of 【Coin of Wisdom】 will eventually cause the user's soul to fall and corrupt into a terrifying spiritual monster. That kind of monster carrying whispers elements and named "Wisdom Demon" usually requires at least one 9-ring supernatural being to confront it alone.

The coin is similar in size to the 【Dandelion Coin】. One side is the head of an unknown bearded old man, with the following written below—

【Blue is the color of wisdom.】

One side is the equation "one plus one equals two" engraved with ancient mathematical symbols, with the following written below—

【The wise do not fall into the river of desire.】

Xia De held the coin, looked at the cat he was holding with one hand, thought for a while, and decided not to try to use the coin to make Little Mia smarter.

【Why?】

She asked in the sea breeze passing through the tower door.

"Because this cat is already smart
