Chapter 998: The Fourth Chosen One

Xia De hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth:

"It's not like I'm always spending the night alone... Actually, Princess Lei Qianya invited me to watch an opera tonight... in a private box."

The girl wearing a headscarf raised her eyebrows:

"Speaking of that princess, I still don't understand why Dorothy would agree to her being with her and you..."

She couldn't discuss this topic in public:

"Have fun tonight, I hope that poor princess remembers to bring the 【Leaf of Eternal Youth】."

She stopped her voice because Xia De's expression suddenly became serious.

The outsider looked toward the stairs again:

"Someone appeared again."

"Who?"

Luweiya didn't look over. Too much staring would make a Ringed Shushi with sensitive perception alert.

"It's truly interesting, it's people from the 【Apna Library】. They aren't here to find Miss Pawo too, are they? Then they would need a larger table. Three people in total. I don't know the first one, I met the second one when I was picking up goods for Old John, and the third one is... Guide of the Moon?"

"What Guide of the Moon? You even know someone with such a nickname?"

Luweiya asked with a smile. After Xia De confirmed that the three newly appeared people sat down at the table next to Miss Pawo's four, she turned slightly to look at them.

She still stared for about half a minute before turning her head with a relaxed expression. She tugged at her headscarf slightly to ensure that her face with strange makeup would not be seen more clearly by Xia De:

"I finally found it."

"Found... hmm? Found what?"

"Of course, the person I came here to find."

Luweiya said, her fingers with strange purple nail polish tapping on the table:

"Otherwise, what else could it be?"

"The Chosen One really appeared? Which one is it?"

Xia De was extremely surprised, never expecting such a harvest this afternoon.

"That 'Guide of the Moon' you mentioned."

Luweiya picked up the wooden cup containing fruit juice. In winter, the price of fruit juice in the Three Cats Hotel had also become much more expensive:

"Since you know him, tell me who he is. It's a bit far, although I can't see his face clearly, I should have never seen him."

"Sir Leikins Puli Xia. He is a member of Princess Miss Jia Lin Na's visiting delegation."

Xia De frowned:

"But how could it be him? He is not only a correspondence student of the Sexas Higher Medical Academy, but also suspected to be an academic spy for the Apna Library."

"So what?"

Luweiya had a smile on her face, and the frustration of the past few weeks was swept away after confirming the identity of the Chosen One:

"Compared to Yiluna, Ivan Darkness, and Joey Barton, this identity is not particularly strange."

She stared at the cup, and Xia De stared at her. Regardless, on this snowy winter afternoon, the identity of the fourth Chosen One was finally determined.

Although he learned who the Chosen One was, Luweiya was not in a hurry to leave. She rarely had the opportunity to be alone with Xia De in a place like the Three Cats Hotel, so she specially asked for two glasses of wine and let Xia De have a drink with her.

Unlike the previous two Chosen Ones, the background of "Guide of the Moon" Mr. Leikins Puli Xia was a bit complicated. He not only had status in two Ringed Shushi organizations but also had a quite extraordinary ordinary background.

This led to the fact that he was not a target that Xia De and Luweiya could easily win over. Ivan Darkness was a member of the 【Blood Spirit School】 and was destined not to walk with the Church; Joey Barton, although he had never done bad things, belonged to the 【Truth Society】 and was unlikely to cooperate with the Church immediately; as for Sister Daifulin, the blind nun herself was the leader of a Ringed Shushi organization, and she also had some thoughts about Xia De, so she could cooperate with the two.

But if Sir Puli Xia really wanted to seek help, then choosing the Church would be much more convenient than choosing Xia De and Luweiya.

The outsider and the female diviner both knew this, so this time Luweiya did not mention letting Xia De confirm whether Sir Puli Xia was likely to cooperate with them:

"You need to confirm whether this is a good person or a bad person."

The girl wearing a headscarf said, the wine glass tilted, letting the beer flow onto the plate. This was a divination method of "water divination," but it was not very common in this era. Diviners of this era liked to use divination cards, coins, and crystal balls.

"Good people and bad people are not so easy to define."

Luweiya said softly, her beautiful purple eyes staring at the liquid flowing in the plate:

"What you need to confirm is, if he really becomes the Chosen One, then what kind of attitude does he hold toward the world and civilization. After all thirteen Chosen Ones appear, the opened door will decide many things. Even if we cannot cooperate like we do with Yiluna and Sister Daifulin, at least we must determine what kind of person he is."

What Luweiya implied here was actually that if Sir Leikins Puli Xia was the kind of anti-social, anti-civilization lunatic, or secretly had other intolerable habits, then they would have to find a way to get rid of this Chosen One; if he was a good person in the true sense, then they could secretly help the Sir become the real Chosen One.

Miss Pawo's group of seven did not stay for too long, only more than ten minutes before they stood up and left one after another, without attracting much attention.

After confirming that they had all left, Xia De stood up and went to the place where they had just sat, trying to listen to the sound with "Echoes of the Past." But unfortunately, in a place like the Three Cats Hotel that had guests almost twenty-four hours a day, it was impossible to accurately hear the sound of a certain period.

Moreover, among Miss Pawo's seven, someone seemed to possess the power of time, which greatly affected the spellcasting of "Echoes of the Past." Xia De tried a few times and gave up, returning to Luweiya's side:

"I don't know what they said, but the 【Truth Society】, 【Pantanal Voodoo Society】, and 【Apna Library】 appearing together shouldn't be to discuss the vegetable prices in the city."

Luweiya smiled:

"How many coins do you have in your hand?"

"Two, 【Coin of Cat and Dog】, 【Coin of Wisdom】. But I haven't been to Cold Water Port lately, maybe the black market in Cold Water Port can still have a harvest."

"I have a 【Diviner's Silver Coin】 here. Yiluna sent me an 【Elephant Coin】 yesterday, which was confiscated by Yiluna's team when they raided contraband."

【Elephant Coin】 was not the official name of the relic; the official name was the Document-level relic 【Animal Coin】. The number of such coins could not be counted. The front of each coin was a number, and the back was an animal pattern. For example, the coin with the "Elephant" pattern was the 【Elephant Coin】, and the coin with the "Elk" pattern was the 【Elk Coin】.

The only characteristic of this kind of coin was that after the coin was thrown, it would summon the animal corresponding to the coin at the cost of the coin itself.

The black iron-colored coin that Luweiya pushed to Xia De from the table at this time could summon an elephant anytime, anywhere.

The reason why the 【Animal Coin】 was Document-level (Level 4) was because using the coin to summon animals had about a one-in-ten probability of summoning some strange creatures that looked like animals but were not actually animals.

"I heard old diviners from the Diviner Association mention that about fifteen years ago, a Ringed Shushi in Tobesk used an 【Elephant Coin】 to summon a white elephant and raised it in an abandoned manor outside the city."

Luweiya whispered the past:

"Later, that Ringed Shushi was arrested by the Church for peddling magic potions with huge side effects on the black market. When the Church went to deal with the elephant, the Level 11 Ringed Shushi leading the Dawn Church team claimed that what he saw was clearly a white rabbit."

Xia De was intrigued:

"And then?"

The purple-eyed girl shook her head:

"That manor was directly leveled by three Level 13 Ringed Shushi temporarily transferred from other places. The old diviners of the association were very taboo about this and refused to explain the full details of the accident to me.

At the time of that incident, only Doctor Schneider in our group had become a Ringed Shushi. Later, I asked him, and he recalled for a long time before remembering that in the summer of that year, the Academy suddenly issued a warning to local correspondence students, claiming that a strange object with powerful reality-warping capabilities had appeared in the Tobesk region, which was equivalent to an Angel-level relic runaway event, and strongly suggested that local students go to other places to avoid it."

Xia De opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and Luweiya looked like she had expected his expression:

"Don't worry, those are all things of the past. This city always has a few major accidents every few years, and the Church generally handles them well."

Xia De nodded, thinking in his heart whether there would be a "Cat Coin." As for the black iron-colored coin in his hand, its density was greater than imagined, so its weight was somewhat astonishing. The patterns on the front and back of the coin were consistent with Luweiya's description, and the side of the coin had patterns that were very difficult to observe:

【The zoo imprisons them, the world imprisons us.】

"Let's use this one. This relic sounds much more dangerous than other relics, so don't keep it in your hand. This time, without consuming the coin, we directly found the identity of the Chosen One. The coins in our hands are abundant, so there is no need to save here."

Xia De said.

Luweiya nodded, closed her eyes, and clamped the coin with her right thumb and index finger. As her fair and slender fingers twisted slightly, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the black iron-colored coin, and the cracks quickly spread to the entire coin. At the same time, rust appeared on the surface of the coin, and as the rust gradually wrapped around the coin itself. After reaching a certain limit, the 【Elephant Coin】 completely turned into dust.

But it didn't even have a chance to fall onto the table, and even the dust disappeared.

The eyes under the headscarf opened, and the purple streamer that flashed in the eyes could only be seen by Xia De. It was the first time he knew that when Luweiya used special divination, throwing the coin into the sky was not a necessary action. ===== CHAPTER 999 =====
