Chapter 953: Rumors of the Wisdom Angel

"What is this?"

The dim sunset on Tuesday evening shone into the living room on the second floor of No. 6 Saint De Lan Square. Although To Bei Si Ke City did not have snow like Huntington, the thick fog in the city was still impressive.

The smog attenuated the sun's light, so the gas lamps provided auxiliary lighting in the evening.

Priest Ao Gu Si, who had been called here by Xia De, sat on the sofa, took the small box handed over by Xia De, and opened it to find a rough stone statue inside, which looked somewhat like a stone tool from a primitive civilization tribal ruin.

Priest Ao Gu Si frowned, while Xia De held little Mia, who had been picked up from Lu Lu Weiya. The soft cat looked like she had slept very well this afternoon. Lu Lu Weiya said that the female diviners of the Divination Association had fed this cat a large amount of food this afternoon, and the amount of that food seemed to have not reached this cat's limit at all.

"This afternoon, I went to see the Goddess of the Lake with Professor Kan Sa Si De Lei Ke of Huntington City, and then had a fight with that angel."

Taking advantage of the old priest checking the statue in his hand, Xia De introduced his itinerary for the afternoon.

"Um? What?"

Priest Ao Gu Si, who was looking at the statue, was startled, turned his head to look at Xia De in panic, and looked him up and down, as if worrying that the person in front of him was just a ghost.

"Oh, don't worry, that 'Goddess of the Lake' showed mercy, so I'm fine. Not only was I not injured, but I also obtained the last spiritual rune of the Sublimation Language, as well as the feeling of the fourth spiritual rune of the Four-Ring. This afternoon was very fulfilling, and I even helped an old professor walk out of the psychological shadow of the past."

Priest Ao Gu Si was still a little uneasy:

"Fighting an angel? Young man, why do you always go on such exciting adventures? Sometimes you also need to stop, read books at home, take on commissions, and don't always run around everywhere."

Priest Ao Gu Si knew that the afternoon was definitely not as easy as Xia De said.

"In short, I returned smoothly. After returning to the professor's house, he wrote a reply to Professor Man Ning and then asked me to help him check the room. I found a pile of books that did not belong to the professor. Those books were deposited with him by his Ringed Shushi friends, and most of them were related to the knowledge of the Pan Ta Na Er Great Swamp. Although they were not very useful, they were at least very interesting.

I didn't find other relics, but I found this statue. However, this was not sent to him by that Ringed Shushi friend; this was an antique the professor bought from the local countryside when he was young. It is said that there was primitive worship and belief in the 'Goddess of the Lake' locally. But that was a matter of the old era, and now only items remain as evidence."

Xia De recalled the things in the afternoon:

"Professor De Lei Ke is unwilling to have anything to do with this matter anymore, so he gave this statue to me as well. There is a very weak miracle element on it, even weaker than the element on the holy emblem in the hands of the guest that Doctor Shi Nai De and I met at the Three Cats Hotel last week."

Xia De picked up the teacup and took a sip. Mia was wriggling like a yellow worm on Xia De's lap, and Priest Ao Gu Si was observing the statue:

"It is indeed attached with very little miracle element. I think the year 1842, when that professor was able to successfully visit the Goddess of the Lake, should also be related to this statue. Very interesting, I probably know which angel He is."

The priest put the small statue back into the box. This statue was useless to both of them, so Xia De decided to use it as his collection to commemorate the adventure in Huntington City.

"Which one is it?"

Xia De asked in a low voice, and Priest Ao Gu Si frowned and answered:

"Wisdom Angel - Ji Lu Bo. Yes, the pronunciation of 'Ji Lu Bo' I said is very similar to the pronunciation of 'Lake Ji Lu Bo' mentioned by Professor De Lei Ke, but I am talking about genuine vocabulary of the Second Era. I explored the knowledge of angels I mastered, plus the power attached to this small statue, to confirm that the Goddess of the Lake is the Wisdom Angel created by the Old God 【Secret-Keeping Mentor】."

"Wisdom Angel?"

This was a very important symbol in occultism. In many rituals, it was necessary to use items to symbolize these angels to achieve the effect of the ritual. Of course, obscure knowledge did not record which god the "Wisdom Angel" belonged to. Now Xia De understood:

"I remember that basic ritual studies mentioned that there are five Wisdom Angels in total."

Xia De's first-year foundation was relatively solid.

Priest Ao Gu Si nodded:

"The Old God 【Secret-Keeping Mentor】 created a total of 9 Wisdom Angels. As for why modern ritual studies only mention 5, it is because..."

The priest frowned slightly, and his voice became a bit hoarse. Xia De knew this was an old secret that should not be spread:

"When the ancient gods went far away, four angels followed Him to leave, and five angels stayed to guard the mortal world. Among the remaining Wisdom Angels, it is even rumored that some angels passed on the angel's bloodline to mortals, forming unique lineages. The Wisdom Angel - Ji Lu Bo you encountered is the most important Wisdom Angel. Although there is no ranking among the nine Wisdom Angels, you can consider Him ranked first.

In legend, He is the right hand of 【Secret-Keeping Mentor】, responsible for writing the gospel to bless mortals on behalf of the god, and is the angel closest to the Old God."

"But those 5 Wisdom Angels, why would they appear in our era? What mission do they have?"

Xia De asked curiously. This was also his fourth trial.

Priest Ao Gu Si shook his head as expected:

"According to your description, I suspect He is not complete. The power of ancient angels is not something we can imagine. If the Wisdom Angel were the complete body, anyone who had seen Him would immediately fall into madness, absolutely not as gentle and kind as you described. You yourself also said that not only you and Professor De Lei Ke, but many people have seen the 'Goddess of the Lake'."

The old priest sighed softly. He had just heard the story of Professor De Lei Ke from Xia De completely, and he felt quite emotional about it:

"For mortals, too much knowledge and wisdom is poison. Having seen the face of the true Wisdom Angel, even a Thirteen-Ring Ringed Shushi would go crazy."

Xia De nodded. What he needed to do was to find a way to inquire about the answer to the last trial, and he was very clear about one point: his friends definitely could not answer this question.

Probably only gods could give the answer to the question.

"Oh, Priest, actually I asked you to come this time, also to give this to you."

The hand that kept stroking the fur on little Mia's back moved away, making the squinting cat a bit dissatisfied. Xia De turned slightly, picked up the huge stone box on the floor beside the sofa, and then carefully placed it on the coffee table.

After pushing open the stone box, Priest Ao Gu Si stood up in surprise and looked at the pure white bone remains inside. The holy white bone remains glowed slightly. Just by existing in this room, phantoms of charred feathers falling appeared vaguely in the ordinary room:

"This is..."

The priest's voice was a bit distorted.

"Yes, it is a gift from that angel to you. I don't know why a part of the remains of the First Angel would be in the hands of the Wisdom Angel, but since He gave it, I brought it back."

"Detective, I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise at the end of a boring day."

Priest Ao Gu Si said with a smile, his hands, which looked a bit old compared to young people, stroked those bone remains radiating pure white light. Little Mia also stood on Xia De's lap, stretched her little head to look at the things in the box, and lost interest after finding out they were bones.

"Really good, 19 pairs of ribs. Xia De, I will give you a gift in a few days."

The priest said seriously:

"After fusing these bone remains, I can make more useful alchemical items and magic potions. Don't refuse; this is what you deserve. Besides, the quality of holy water can also become better. Although it is still impossible to mass-produce No. 3 holy water directly, the quality should be extremely close."

After speaking, he lowered his head again to stroke the remains in the stone box. That expression was somewhat similar to Xia De stroking little Mia.

Xia De leaned back on the sofa back slightly, holding a teacup in one hand and stroking the soft cat with the other. In the glow of the sunset, he vaguely saw the pair of charred wings flash past behind Priest Ao Gu Si, who was wearing a thick robe. Squinting slightly, Priest Ao Gu Si's body overlapped with a broken skeleton.

With the improvement of his own level, Xia De's eyes could see more and more "real" pictures. Of course, this was also related to Priest Ao Gu Si not being on guard against Xia De. Xia De was very curious why only Priest Ao Gu Si survived in the accident many years ago, and actually fused the power of an angel. The reason for surviving many years ago was the priest's biggest secret, and it was even possible that it was more secretive than his holding angel power.

Priest Ao Gu Si did not stay long and left with the stone box with a smile on his face. By the way, he also asked what style of ornaments Xia De liked. He would probably be able to make the gift for Xia De tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Xia De saw Priest Ao Gu Si off at the door, and the priest, holding the heavy stone box, was preparing to find a carriage when he saw the carriage stop at Xia De's door:

"Look, my luck is really good."

He even turned his head and said to Xia De.

Subsequently, the two saw Duo Luo Qian, wearing a black floral dress and a scarf, walk out of the carriage. The blonde girl blinked at the two men standing at the door and joked with a smile:

"Xia De, Priest, are you specifically welcoming me?" ===== CHAPTER 954 =====
