Chapter 959

At 8:20 in the evening, Xia De's joke about a cat and a rabbit made Princess Ajelina cover her mouth and giggle. The salon atmosphere was lively, and Xia De excused himself to go to the washroom, temporarily saying goodbye to the people around him, and came to the corridor from the room.

The door locked the noisy sounds inside. Xia De pretended to be finally calm and walked past the royal guards. Avoiding the sight of others, he waited for a while at the corner of the corridor. Luweiya walked down from the third floor quietly. The purple-eyed girl avoided the area illuminated by the gas lamp and stood in the shadows of the stairwell, waving at Xia De. Xia De followed her from a distance, and after Luweiya opened the door of the second divination room on the left side of the second floor, he flashed in.

There were no lights on in the room, and the moonlight outside could only illuminate a small area near the window.

Suddenly coming to a dark room from a noisy environment, Xia De was even a little uncomfortable. But he still walked quickly to the window and looked in the direction of the Yodel Palace. At this time, everything outside was normal:

"How is the situation now?"

"There are no problems yet. Xia De, the situation has changed. It's best if we don't participate in anything tonight."

Luweiya leaned against the wall next to the door, watching Xia De looking out the window under the moonlight in the dark. Whenever Xia De bathed in the moonlight, she always felt that Xia De himself was glowing.

"What happened?"

Xia De turned his head and asked.

"The president is upstairs. Although the Five Gods Church did not send high-level Ringed Shushi here, I received a letter from Iluna this afternoon. She said that all eyes are staring here tonight. There are too many people paying attention here tonight, not just the high-level professors of the Truth Society; the forces paying attention here tonight will not be few. The church wants to use 【God Thief Jack】 as bait, at least to figure out who dares to reach out."

Luweiya whispered:

"And this time is different from Midhillburg. During the Midhillburg incident, the Truth Society only sent a very small number of members to test. This time, in addition to Vice President Miss Pawo, there are at least five high-level professors, as well as the heretics they hired. There is reason to believe that the Truth Society's actions in the Mountain City in the autumn were for testing, and now is the time they officially intervene in the Chosen One's affairs.

Iluna told me that the 13th-level Ringed Shushi, Lord Iron Right Hand of the Creation Church, and Lord Sunshine Great Sword of the Sun Church, are all ready to set off. This is not Lake View Manor; this is the city center of Tobesk. As long as they receive notification, they can appear in at most three minutes."

"Although the Truth Society is crazy, they are definitely not pure lunatics; they are sometimes terrifyingly rational. Even if the church is prepared, I think they also have corresponding methods."

Xia De continued to turn his head to look out the window:

"I originally thought that Miss Pawo would still come to participate in Princess Lei Qianya's reading salon as 'Miss Witt,' but I didn't expect not to see her at all."

"Do you think she will appear tonight?"

Luweiya asked.

"Of course she will appear. The fragments of the poem that Miss Pawo possesses are definitely more than we thought. Since such a Ringed Shushi who believes in numbers dares to take action personally, it means she has her own confidence."

Xia De frowned and looked at Silver Cross Avenue downstairs. Several people got off the carriage and entered the Yodel Palace, which did not look suspicious:

"Luweiya, do a divination now. Ordinary divination methods are fine. The content of the divination is, what kind of relic will appear tonight."

"I can do the divination, but you know, divination for relics is usually not particularly accurate, especially since your description range is very large. If tonight involves a second Sage-level relic other than 【God Thief Jack】, then basically there is no possibility of accuracy."

She took out the divination cards and rinsed them, whispering a spell to make those cards float in front of her eyes. When Xia De turned to walk toward Luweiya, he saw Luweiya's hands manipulating the cards to shift and change positions rapidly in the air. When she looked up at Xia De, those eyes revealed an extremely beautiful, glowing, transparent purple, which made Xia De's heart tremble violently.

"Pick one."

Luweiya signaled. Xia De chose the row of cards in the middle on the side closer to Luweiya. His fingers flicked lightly, and the divination card flipped in the air to reveal the face.

"Divination Card · Game?"

Xia De looked at the card face suspiciously; this card does not appear often:

"What does this mean? I thought I would pick a card representing a number."

"This either means my divination has a problem, or it means that an extremely powerful relic related to games will appear tonight."

Luweiya recovered the other divination cards, and Xia De also handed her the "Game" in his hand:

"I hope it's not the worst case, but since it involves the materials for the Chosen One's ritual, the possibility of no accidents... Luweiya, will you stay in the association tonight?"

"Yes, if 【God Thief Jack】 has not appeared after the salon ends, I will go to your house to sit for a while; I have some uneasy feelings."

"Me too."

Xia De nodded, preparing to return to the reading salon. Princess Lei Qianya planned to have him tell a detective story as a special guest in the upcoming session, and he had to go back in time:

"I hope everything is safe tonight."

He said softly, and Luweiya took the initiative to hug Xia De and then kissed him.

The moonlight outside the window shone on Xia De's back. The purple-eyed girl stood in the shadows; she was really uneasy.

(Little Mia is running...)

Iluna Beias is preparing.

The seventeen-year-old girl, wrapped in a black windbreaker, stood at the street corner of Silver Cross Avenue, sticking to the wall and looking at both sides of the street. Because tonight's events involved the Chosen One, she, who happened to be on leave and did not have to participate in this operation, was also required to join the operation.

Iluna's squad was not fully mobilized. Except for her, who is at the fifth level, only two people at the low level participated in the operation. Iluna was arranged to monitor the surroundings at an important intersection, so that no matter where there was a situation, she could know it as soon as possible, while the other two members of the squad temporarily joined the patrol team. Iluna could see them once every thirty minutes.

"It's getting colder these days."

Although she was performing a tense mission, the seventeen-year-old girl still complained about the weather in her heart. In her spare time, she secretly looked at her outfit, thinking that she was about the same as the "detective" in the novel. Thinking of the detective, she naturally thought of Xia De, looked at St. Deran Square, and then remembered that Luweiya said Xia De would be at the Prophet Association tonight:

"What would Xia De be doing now? This time, wouldn't it be Xia De running into 【God Thief Jack】 again?"

She asked in her heart, and then whispered in her heart again:

"Really, Luweiya always says that I am the real Chosen One, but no matter how I look at it, Xia De seems more like..."

The passively activated miracle - 【Sun Radiance】 can maintain body temperature at night and enhance dark vision, so Iluna does not feel that she is very cold. But standing still is always boring. In her spare time, she would pace back and forth against the wall, but she would still pay attention to the situation around her.

Accidentally looking up into the distance, she suddenly found several terrifying green light sources flashing on the street. Iluna was startled and prepared for battle. But as those "light sources" came under the street lamp, she realized that they were two wild cats walking together. Both cats were black, meowing and moving away along Silver Cross Avenue. Iluna looked at them sideways:

"Even cats appear in pairs, while I can only be like Xia De's Little Mia... Oh, comparing myself to a cat is really too pathetic."

She reprimanded herself in her heart, but then thought of what Xia De once said, that the moon and the sun are twins, and the moon and the sun have always appeared in pairs.

"Yes, the moon and the sun have a fateful connection!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously. But fortunately, Iluna was standing in the shadows of the low wall at this time. If she were discovered by her colleagues with a strange smile on her face at this time, she would definitely be considered to have mental problems.

Her body leaned back slightly against the wall—she had checked in advance that the wall was very clean; after all, this is Silver Cross Avenue. Hiding her body completely in the darkness was not an adjective. After defeating Dac Nisi, Iluna gained the talent of "Dark Vortex." But "Dark Vortex" was just a harvest worth mentioning; things like dark vision and the fact that almost no one could discover her when she was standing still in the dark were harvests not worth mentioning specifically.

She stood quietly with her hands crossed over her chest, leaning against the wall on the street, imagining that she was helping Xia De keep watch as a detective assistant. Her eyes monitored the street, and she recalled the plot in the "Hamilton Detective Story Collection" that she had pressed under her pillow, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

Although the life of a Ringed Shushi is more exciting than that of an ordinary detective, thanks to Dorothy's writing style, which was even praised by the academy, the thrilling detective novels still deeply attracted the seventeen-year-old girl.

After being transferred to the Tobesk diocese from the Holy See, every night in her rented apartment, Iluna would sit on the bed, covered with a quilt, holding a teacup, and read books such as "Storm Eye Adventure Guide" or "Silver Knight" under the bedside gas lamp before going to bed. For her, this is the best way to end the day. And since reading detective stories in the "Steam Bird Daily," the reading time every night has become longer.

Dorothy's serialization in the newspaper was not fast, so Iluna had almost "savored" every story several times. After the first volume was released, she even got a new book signed by the author directly from Xia De.

Liking those stories is not just because of the protagonist of the story—this is only one aspect of the reason, but more because she was really attracted by those stories.

"I hope the mission is completed early, so that there will still be time to read after going home. The chapter I saw last time was..."

Iluna was thinking about the novel under the pillow in her residence, standing in the darkness, her eyes still watching everything on the street illuminated by street lamps one by one.
