Chapter 954: Xi Dun Seal

On the surface, the relationship between Priest Ao Gu Si and Duo Luo Qian was that of ordinary friends, so the old priest greeted her with a normal expression:

"Good afternoon, Miss Lu Yi Sha. Are you here to find the detective? What a coincidence, he just got home."

He pointed behind him as he spoke, then called the coachman not to leave and helped him move the stone box to the carriage. It was not until he got into the carriage that the priest waved goodbye to Xia De and Duo Luo Qian.

The blonde girl stood in the light of the sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun embellished her makeup. She only greeted Xia De after confirming that the carriage carrying Priest Ao Gu Si had left:

"Xia De, do you have anything else to do tonight? Do you want to go to dinner together?"

She shook the notebook in her hand, and then greeted the cat that was poking its head out behind Xia De's feet:

"Good evening, Mia."

"Meow~"

The cat, who was very familiar with Duo Luo Qian, called out, but still didn't dare to cross Xia De and run out of the house directly.

Completing the third trial of the Goddess of the Lake could be considered a major task completed for Xia De. As a celebration, he accepted Duo Luo Qian's invitation, changed his clothes, and took the cat and the writer lady to the "Golden October Restaurant" on Silver Cross Avenue.

This was a relatively expensive restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue. Fortunately, Xia De had earned a lot in Huntington in the past few days.

During the meal, Xia De and Duo Luo Qian talked about his experience this afternoon:

"I defeated an angel. Although the opponent deliberately suppressed her power, and I borrowed the power of a Sage-level 【Relic】, this is also worth celebrating."

People in the upper society who dine in high-end restaurants like to bring their own wine, and Xia De was the same. He rarely brought a bottle of red wine and raised his glass to invite Duo Luo Qian to toast. Duo Luo Qian, who had changed into a blue dress, raised her glass. She didn't look very surprised:

"If you suddenly told me one day that you had already been promoted to the Thirteen-Ring, I wouldn't be surprised either."

"That will probably take a long time."

Xia De put down the goblet and used his hand to disperse the cat that was poking its head and wanting to sniff the wine glass.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent. The gas lamp light here was extremely dim, but the candles on the candlestick on the table were lit. The just-right light did not affect vision and could also set off the atmosphere. The expensiveness of the restaurant was also reasonable.

Xia De did not specifically mention the process of his battle with the angel. For the sake of Duo Luo Qian's mental health, he couldn't talk about the specific origin of the ancient angel. But he mentioned 【Aiken Aola's Arrow of Knowledge】. That arrow and the water bag were placed in his basement:

"People with talent who are scratched can become talented people, but the awakening is not very stable. I think this kind of weapon is better kept by me. If it really falls into the hands of the 【Pan Ta Na Er Voodoo Society】, it is not certain what kind of trouble it will cause."

"Directly become a talented person?"

The blonde girl blinked. Xia De knew she thought of the little princess A Jie Li Na.

"No, no, Lei Qianya will not let A Jie Li Na become a Ringed Shushi now, and you also said that using that arrow to awaken will make Ringed Shushi more prone to losing control."

Duo Luo Qian refuted herself, so Xia De didn't say anything more. Lei Qianya had her own arrangements for A Jie Li Na's matter. However, he explained his sense of loss for not being able to shoot that arrow with great regret:

"Clearly, I was only one step away from shooting that arrow, and I could have touched the fourth spiritual rune of the Four-Ring, but the lady in the white robe conceded."

"That feeling was like thousands of little Mias crawling on my body, so uncomfortable."

【Didn't you say thousands this afternoon?】

Xia De exaggerated a little. Duo Luo Qian understood his meaning completely and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled:

"The arrow is in your hand, and you also obtained those special waters. There will be opportunities to use that arrow again."

"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future, but this afternoon... although the cash in my hand exceeds ten thousand pounds, I still don't have the confidence to buy a satisfactory bow."

He changed the subject himself to prevent that feeling of "thousands of cats scratching his heart" from becoming stronger.

"There are many famous relic bows in Saint Bai Lun Si. Since Miss Bu Lai Ni Ou Lan Nuo De, whom you once mentioned, is a half-elf, she should be good at using bows and arrows, right?"

Duo Luo Qian asked while lowering her head to deal with the food. Xia De nodded.

But elves being good at using bows and arrows, just like elves never eating meat, were all stereotypes of people. Xia De had never seen Miss Ou Lan Nuo De, who was good at the power of the "Yellow Moon," use bow and arrow weapons.

"Since you are so uncomfortable in your heart..."

The lady across the table blinked at Xia De. Subsequently, Xia De felt something rubbing against his leg under the table covered by the white tablecloth. That texture should be ladies' stockings. The tablecloth was very long, and the light in the restaurant was dim, otherwise, Duo Luo Qian would absolutely not do this.

The lady across the table blinked at Xia De, and then, Xia De felt something rubbing against his leg under the table, hidden by the white tablecloth; the texture felt like a lady's stockings. The tablecloth was very long, and the lighting in the restaurant was dim; otherwise, Dorothy would absolutely never have done this.

"I'm not feeling well today. Later, I'll go back to Feather Pen Street to record Professor De Lei Ke's story. Even if it can't be published, this is a very good material. Perhaps, you can go find Lu Lu Weiya."

The blushing cheeks lowered to eat the duck meat on the plate. Xia De blinked and confirmed some things with 【Blood Echo】. To prevent himself from seeing it wrong, he said in his heart:

"Help me calculate."

【It is today.】

He turned his head to look at the cat lying on the high stool waiting to be fed. The cat stared at him with big eyes. When he picked up little Mia, Lu Lu Weiya said she was going to the black market in the city to pick up goods and prepare the magic potions for the course assignments. So, there were probably only him and little Mia at home tonight.

There were many things to do for Xia De on the night alone at home. Since the 【Power】 spiritual rune was already in hand, he planned to learn new strange techniques.

He currently already possessed the spell 【Red Dragon Power】, which was obtained when he saved the red dragon witch with the big tail using 【Sleeping Princess】 during his adventure in the Ga Di Si Library. This spell had a great connection with 【Power】. It was a pity that Xia De did not know how to turn it into a strange technique. But when he slashed open the Gate of Death before the Battle of Mi De Xi Er Bao, the reward 【Xi Dun Seal】 given to him by Mr. La Kang Ma Disi, a Twelve-Ring Ringed Shushi in the Mi Bao diocese of the Sun Church, for helping to guard the church, could be learned.

【Xi Dun Seal】 was a very famous defensive strange technique of the Sun Church. Xia De had already collected the ritual materials for learning strange techniques. Among them, the relatively difficult-to-obtain materials "Golden Wheat Ear" and "Underground Magma Turtle Shell Fragments" were also obtained by Yin Luna for him, so he planned to hold a ritual to learn strange techniques tonight.

The magic potion that needed to be drunk before the ritual belonged to the relatively simple preparation, but the process of waiting for sedimentation was a bit time-consuming.

And at seven o'clock this evening, when Xia De was still busy making final preparations, his house door was knocked. Before the door was knocked, the badge hanging on Xia De's chest had already radiated amazing heat. It seemed that a witch was visiting.

It was not Miss Jia Lin Na, but Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya. The young Great Witch looked in a very good mood. She came alone again. After Xia De opened the door, this young lady with short black hair and a shawl stood on the steps, carrying her handbag, with the night square covered by thin fog behind her:

"Good evening, Xia De. Is anyone home? Is it convenient for me to visit? Regarding the last thesis, I still have a few details I want to discuss with you."

She asked with a smile. Xia De then made a gesture of invitation:

"Please come in, but I am preparing a ritual to learn strange techniques. If you want to discuss the thesis, please wait for half an hour. The boiling of the Golden Sun Potion is really time-consuming. I have been staring at it in the basement for an hour, and the potion still hasn't boiled. Perhaps I should change to a pot next time."

"Do you need help?"

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya walked into the door and took a deep breath:

"It seems you put too little white chrysanthemum essence. If it is a Golden Sun Potion for auxiliary rituals, I recommend replacing the white chrysanthemum essence in the standard preparation process with locust root juice."

Although Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya's age was younger than the age of this Outsider's body, the Great Witch was worthy of being a Great Witch. With her enthusiastic help, Xia De completed the boiling of the potion quite smoothly, and held the ritual while swallowing the magic potion, successfully learning the strange technique that church records said only Ringed Shushi above the Sixth Ring could learn.

The spellcasting of 【Xi Dun Seal】 did not require spellcasting materials, but required a sword as a spellcasting medium, whether it was a physical sword or a spiritual weapon.

After learning the strange technique, Xia De naturally wanted to try the effect of his first defensive strange technique. After cleaning up the debris in the basement, Xia De invited Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya to be a sparring partner.

Miss Xi Er Lu Weiya and the cat watching the excitement stood at the edge of the basement, and Xia De stood in the center of the basement's open space.

Summoning 【Moonlight Greatsword】 and then stabbing it into the ground with one hand, at the same time, his left hand made a seal gesture of touching the thumb and middle finger, bending the little finger, and crossing the ring finger and index finger:

"Xi Dun Seal!"

As the spirit flowed in his body, the whisper element affected reality. At a certain moment, a dazzling circular golden shield appeared around Xia De's body just like that.

This was not a standard sphere, but a sphere missing one-third of its volume at the bottom. The golden shield had the luster of the sun, completely suppressing the light of the gas lamps in the basement, reflecting the witch and the cat into gold.

There were no runes on the surface of the golden shield, but the luster on the surface was flowing in patches, looking quite miraculous. This sphere completely illuminated the entire basement, even making Xia De inside the shield feel that the temperature in the basement without steam pipe heating was rising.

It seemed that one must be very careful when using this strange technique at night. This was much brighter than gas street lamps. However, among the commonly used spells, there were also spells that could block the light of a certain area. Although the spells were not enough to affect Xia De's "Light Spell," it should be no problem to cover up the light of other strange techniques. ===== CHAPTER 955 =====

This was not a standard sphere, but rather a sphere missing the bottom third of its volume. The golden shield had a luster like the sun, completely suppressing the light of the basement's gas lamps, casting both the witch and the cat in gold.

There were no runes on the surface of the golden shield, but the luster on its surface flowed in patches, looking quite miraculous. This sphere completely illuminated the entire basement, and even made Xia De, inside the shield, feel that the temperature in the basement, which lacked steam pipe heating, was rising.

It seems one must be quite careful when using this miracle at night; it is much brighter than gas street lamps. However, among commonly used charms, there are also those that can obscure the light in a certain area; although the charms are not enough to affect Xia De's "Light Spell," they should be fine for masking the light of other miracles.
