Chapter 926

"Luvia, guess, will the Diviner Association acquire such a precious relic as the 【Sage's Glow Stone】?"

After Dr. Schneider finished introducing, Xia De asked the diviner miss again. The latter thought for a while and nodded:

"I think they should, but what do you want to do by asking this question?"

"I know what he wants to do."

The blonde writer miss said with a smile:

"Some time ago, Xia De said he wanted to buy the Diviner Association's founding series of Luo De cards, but was refused. I think he is guessing whether he can exchange one of them for the 【Sage's Glow Stone】."

"But even if the Diviner Association agrees, this also means that your identity will be known by those diviners."

Dr. Schneider said wisely, then hesitated for a moment and asked Xia De and Dorothy:

"Actually... attending the banquet at Lakeview Manor this Tuesday, around 10:30, did you hear strange sounds?"

"Yes, after those two thunderclaps, the 'other self' captured the information transmitted by the relic - Trial: Find the person who cannot be seen in the Tobesk region."

Xia De nodded, and Dorothy also joined the conversation:

"Yes, I was also at Lakeview Manor at the time, and I heard it too."

"This should be related to the 【Sage's Glow Stone】 mentioned by the academy. I don't believe that two different big things will happen in this region at once."

The doctor said, then took out paper and pen, let Xia De and Dorothy briefly describe what happened on Tuesday night, and then sent it to the academy through the poem manuscript paper along with his letter. This reply was quite fast; it was only five minutes before an envelope was sent over.

This was still a letter from the Student Management Office. The academy confirmed the information provided by the three, so each person received 1 credit and a reward of 3 pounds.

"It seems the academy knew about this long ago."

Dr. Schneider divided this unexpected gain between Xia De and Dorothy. Seeing Priest August in deep thought, he asked:

"Priest, what are you thinking about?"

"Speaking of which, in the trial mentioned after the two thunderclaps at Lakeview Manor, the 'person who cannot be seen' that was required to be found, wouldn't it be the thief who has been committing crimes in the Tobesk region recently?"

The priest asked suspiciously. Luvia raised her eyebrows, and Xia De, holding the soft cat taking a nap, frowned:

"It is indeed possible... but just like what Priest August said just now, who can catch him?"

"I think the Schluch Higher Medical Academy and the Zalas Academy of Literature should also have similar academy bounties."

Dr. Schneider said, looked at the other four, and gave advice very cautiously:

"Although the Sage-level relic promised by the academy is indeed tempting, safety is the most important. For the so-called 【Sage's Glow Stone】, since the academy can issue a bounty, other ring-sorcerer groups will also come to join the fun. If any of us really has a clue, absolutely do not act alone. The five of us in the group can act together, and the one who finds the clue just needs to pay the reward."

"No problem."

Xia De nodded, but he still didn't think the five members of the group could really catch that thief.

"Our main energy recently should also be placed on the exam week at the end of the year. The five of us performed well this summer, didn't we? Oh, gentlemen, ladies, I hope we can all pass the winter exams smoothly. I can't wait to have dinner together at my place after the exams end, just like last year."

The doctor said with some nostalgia. He didn't have close relatives, and his best friends were the four people in front of him. After a busy year, having dinner together was the thing he looked forward to most in the year.

Today's group study meeting, because there were too many things to say, didn't end until 4:30 in the afternoon.

Everyone dispersed as before, and Dorothy left with Xia De. Of course, Xia De didn't forget that he promised to help Old John tonight to take the data of the Apuna Library as a third party, so after dinner, he told Princess Lei Qianya, who had already swapped bodies, that he might go out for a few hours tonight.

Although this would delay the date time, Princess Lei Qianya also knew that Xia De had serious business to do, so she let him go busy with his own affairs.

"I'll be back before ten, I hope the other party won't be late."

Xia De fiddled with his fountain pen at the desk, and on the desk was the first draft of the novel Dorothy was going to publish in the newspaper next week. As the price for giving up the date time, Princess Lei Qianya promised to help proofread these manuscripts.

"Speaking of which, I have something good to show you."

Xia De said with a smile again. The cat lying on the windowsill watched this scene boredly, yawned, and had a premonition that it wouldn't be able to sleep beside the pillow tonight.

"I got a big guy that glows, we can watch it together at night."

This refers to the stone slab with silver horns, which is rumored to possibly grant knowledge and spiritual runes if touched.

The blonde girl showed a narrow smile:

"Xia De, is this reason a bit too cliché? Even if you don't say it like this, I won't leave tonight. But since you mentioned 'watching' something, can I understand that you want to be... in the study this time?"

Her palm patted the desk lightly. When she bit her lower lip and looked at Xia De, her face was slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be glowing.

Xia De felt that Princess Lei Qianya might have misunderstood his meaning:

"It's really something that glows and flies to show you."

He emphasized.

Princess Lei Qianya showed an ambiguous smile and reached out to hug Xia De's neck:

"Yes, it's really a glowing item. Then I'll wait for you... remember to come back early."

The cat on the windowsill felt that it might be able to sleep in the bedroom tonight.

Taking advantage of Xia De's departure, Princess Lei Qianya took care of little Mia at home and flipped through and checked Professor Manning's letters, trying to find abnormal details from them. Xia De kissed the beloved girl goodbye downstairs before breaking into the long night of Tobesk in the thick fog.

The meeting place agreed upon by the Apuna Library and the Light-Guiding Ascetic Society was not in the city, but the city public cemetery in the east of the city. In the past few weeks, thick fog has filled the city, and even at night, the fog lingered and did not dissipate.

When Xia De arrived at the cemetery outside the city, the cemetery area was shrouded in fog, just like in a horror story, and it was possible at any time for that indescribable corpse ghost to jump out and attack the unlucky citizens visiting the cemetery at night.

Xia De was wrapped in a black warm robe, his hood was not worn, but he was wearing a mask on his face. The agreed meeting time for picking up the goods was nine o'clock in the evening. He set off relatively early because he was worried about being late, so when he arrived at the cemetery, it was still fifteen minutes before nine.

When he saw the cemetery from afar, he was already missing his warm and comfortable home, his soft and cute cat, and the energetic girl.

Using 【Lagley's Leap】 to cross the fence, his boots left no traces on the ground. There was still light in the small church in the distance, and the gravedigger's hut had already extinguished its lights. There was a faint burnt smell in the fog, and the people sleeping here sighed silently in this silent fog.

Although this place looked very much like a scene where a ghost story could happen, no ghost without eyes came to disturb Xia De tonight. He waited patiently under a pine tree in the northeast corner of the cemetery.

At nine o'clock sharp, another ring-sorcerer in a black robe walked out of the thick fog of the cemetery. He was carrying a black briefcase in his hand, with a small copper lock hanging on the box. After seeing Xia De standing under the dead tree, almost blending into the night, he didn't get too close, but stopped on the cemetery path and asked softly:

"What do curly-haired baboons like to eat?"

This was the secret code agreed upon by Old John to prevent recognizing the wrong person when handing over the data.

"Tooth decay."

Xia De answered in a deep voice.

"What happens if you walk barefoot?"

The strange ring-sorcerer asked again. Although he deliberately disguised his voice, Xia De could distinguish that this was a man, and his Tobesk accent was very proficient. This was not an accent that could be mastered by learning and language talent; only by hanging out in taverns for years, dealing with the poor, and receiving language influence from childhood could one say such things.

In the words of an outsider, this is an "old Tobesk person". Using this accent in other places can even show one's identity. It seems that although the Apuna Library is very small, it still has resident personnel in Tobesk.

"You will be kicked in the butt hard by Madame Maria with her boots."

Xia De said, and then he asked the third question. The meeting riddle agreed upon by Old John and the Apuna Library was very interesting:

"Is the most desperate thing for citizens in Tobesk the corruption and inefficiency of City Hall civil servants?"

"No."

The strange man shook his head firmly and answered through gritted teeth:

"It's the rising housing prices year by year."

This answer came from the heart.

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and took a step forward:

"Yes, sir, it's housing prices, damn housing prices. Now, please put the box at your feet and then take five steps back."

The stranger put down the briefcase and took five steps back as Xia De said. After the other party stopped, Xia De walked over and picked up the box.

The key was inserted in the lock of the box. Xia De opened the box and looked at the documents inside. He needed to confirm whether the other party gave a stack of waste newspapers. Of course, he only symbolically checked the first two pages, and then closed the briefcase:

"Very good, the transaction is over, sir. I think you shouldn't need me to write a receipt, right?"

He made a small joke, and the other party also laughed dryly. Both stared at each other and then stepped back slowly. Only after the distance was enough did they turn and leave:

"Really, making it so complicated, just like an underground transaction of an illegal organization."

Confirming that the other party had also left, Xia De complained in his heart in a low voice while walking in the cemetery.

【Isn't it?】

While Xia De walked into the depths of the thick fog, "she" asked with a smile. Xia De didn't answer, but looked at the briefcase in his hand:

"The problem now is, before handing it to Old John, should I peek?"
