Whispering Verse

Chapter 420: 13 Shelter

"Yes, it's really good. Although this book is dangerous, if you read it too much, it may cause you to lose control, but if you disassemble a few chapters from it, you can completely compile a new book that may allow ring warlocks to obtain spirit runes. Look, Here is the story of the ancient mermaid, the ancient war between the mermaid and the murloc, the integration and hostility of the three major faiths in Lengshui Port..."

The old man turned the pages at will, and each page seemed to give him something new to gain:

"In this way, I can finally complete the last part of my "Lengshuigang Three Secret Teaching Examination"."

A smile appeared on his face, and then he looked up at Xia De:

"I said at the beginning that all the material gains belong to you, and we share the knowledge. This you brought..."

He patted the book:

"The value is much greater than the information I provide you. I want the ownership of this book. You can make some extra requests. Will the Light Guiding Cultivation take advantage of you?"

Xia De thought for a while:

"Mr. Edmund, I wish to be able to read this book whenever I need to."

The old man nodded:

"It's a reasonable request, you can come anytime."

He said:

"In addition, I also need the knowledge in this book, so I hope to get from you, the valuable notes you compiled. Of course, I will also assist you in translating the content of this book. Learned the language of some aquatic intelligent species."

When faced with [Desire], Xia De was forced to read this book. Under normal circumstances, he would not read such a book that recorded the secrets of the evil god. Moreover, this book does not have a table of contents and an abstract. If he reads it carefully by himself, he doesn't know when he will turn it.

"It's very simple, but you have to see for yourself. I won't bother to send a letter to Tobesk."

Mr. Edmond nodded again.

"I only have these requirements for the time being. If you think you have taken advantage of it, I can make it cheaper when I come to buy things in the future."

Xia De hugged the cat and said that the cat raised by Mr. Edmond was lying at Xia De's feet, which made Mia very dissatisfied.

"Dealing with you is much better than trading with John. If it's him, he won't let me go if he doesn't drain the last bit of value from this book."

The old man said with a smile, just as the kettle on the stove began to whine, he got up to fetch hot water and poured Shad a cup of tea.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Edmond, is it the sixth era?"

Shad asked again.

"Of course, what's the problem?"

The old man asked in surprise, Xia De shook his head;

"Something happened a while ago, which messed up my sense of time."

"It's a sign of something out of control."

Mr. Edmond reminded, Shad nodded without explaining:

"In addition, I would like to ask you one more thing. I remember you said last time that there were rumors in the local area that there was a level 0 relic in Lengshui Port in modern times?"

He didn't directly say the name of [Desire].

"Yes, I don't know much about the specific situation. I only settled in Coldwater Harbor thirty years ago. At that time, there were such rumors among the local ring warlocks, but no one could provide evidence. Afterwards, the rumors subsided, and now It is estimated that there are not many people who still remember this incident."

Xia De nodded. Before he came to the lighthouse just now, he swam to the dark room under the Aurora Manor. As expected, just as the witch said last night, there was nothing left in the dark room. That level 0 relic, having broken free from the seal, could be anywhere now.

He suddenly asked again:

"So are all level 0 relics dangerous?"

Mr. Edmond considered it:

"It's not necessarily dangerous, but it must be weird. Most of the 0-level relics have the ability to directly make ring warlocks lose control, so there are very few records about them. The church and the three colleges strictly control relevant information."

Xia De nodded and said nothing more. The thing that called itself [Desire] helped him a lot, but he definitely didn't want to see him again.

He intends to tell the local church about this matter in a while. Of course, he still uses "God Caller" as the signature. Even if this diocese can't catch that thing, at least let the church understand that there is a troublesome level 0 relic in the material world again. Expand the event.

This can also be regarded as a small contribution made by Xia De to the peace and stability of the world.

Xia De hopes that one day, he will be able to find the materials of [Desire] in the library of St. Byrence. But no matter how friendly his relationship with Miss Daniste was, the librarian would not open the news of the 0-level relic to a low-level warlock.

Mr. Edmond invited Shad to stay and have lunch with him, that is, the fish he had caught. Before Miss Galina asked him to appear, Xia De agreed to the invitation.

The two handled the fish together and set up a grill outside the lighthouse. During the meal, Xia De also gave Mia a piece of fish meat that had been picked out of the fishbone, and the cat was also very happy to eat.

When Xia De was about to leave and said with a smile that he might disturb you from time to time, the old man suddenly asked:

"Are you interested in joining the Guiding Light Priory?"

Judging by the expression, Mr. Edmond is not joking.

"Does this...do I need to shoulder any responsibility?"

"A lot of responsibilities, the responsibility of inheriting civilization."

The old man's expression was very serious, while Xia De shook his head:

"If you need me to do anything, you can entrust me, but the burden of civilization is too heavy. I know that what you do is to collect civilization information, store, preserve and pass it on. I admire you very much, but now I There is no such time. Ten years, ten years later, Mr. Edmond, if I am not dead, even if I go to St. Byrence to be a teacher, you can invite me again, and then I will most likely agree. "

Instead of being disappointed, the old man showed a smile:

"In addition to the responsibilities you mentioned, we actually have more things to do, such as investigating and maintaining those ancient seals, storing and managing relics like churches and colleges, and even since 1306 in the sixth era, we have been Looking for the thirteen shelters left by the ancient gods. The hermits believe that they are the last protection prepared by the ancient gods for the life of the end of the world... Then we have agreed, ten I'll write to you in a year's time."

Xia De was taken aback. It was the first time he had heard of the thirteen shelters, and when he thought about the contents of the parchment he saw behind the hidden wall in his basement, it was not difficult to think of it. The space behind the white mist gate left by the thirteen ancient gods was used as a shelter.

"Shelter?"

"I can't tell you this. Even if you agree to join the Priory immediately, it will take at least ten years before you can gradually get in touch with these secrets."

The old man said, Xia De regretfully shook his head:

"Then it's settled, and I look forward to hearing from you ten years later."

He hugged the cat that was full and started to feel sleepy, waved to the old man who guarded the lighthouse alone, and prepared to go home. Mr. Edmond stood under the lighthouse, watched his back go all the way, and couldn't help sighing:

"When the fire of civilization is about to go out, and more and more rumors about the end of the world surface, will we, who inherit the last ray of fire, add a new companion?"

(Mia is running...)

First go to the entrance of the Church of Nature, find someone to help deliver the letter with the 0-level relic [Desire] to the priest of the church, then Xia De went to the Seven Broomsticks Tavern, and inquired about the purchase of coin relics, unfortunately Knowing that there was no result, he did not stay in Lengshui Port for a long time, but returned home, preparing to take a bath and go to see the witch.

Rezia is expected to return to Tobesk in about a week. Shad doesn't need to stay in Coldwater Harbor for a long time, and Dorothy doesn't have to come to help Shad take care of the cat often. However, Goldilocks is still very interested in the detective records in the study, and she will occasionally disturb her in the future, so although she can't see Dorothy today, she will have plenty of time to see her in the Saint Teresa Square in the future.

Miss Galina's carriage stopped downstairs on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, and of course the maid, Miss Tifa Servitt, came to pick Shade up in the carriage.

She saw Xia De holding this morning's newspaper, and after the carriage started slowly, she tilted her head slightly to look at the contents of the newspaper:

"Is this the Steambird Daily?"

"Yes, I'm reading a novel serialized by a friend."

After turning over the newspaper in his hand, Shad showed Dorothy the page of "Hamilton's Detective Stories":

"You probably haven't heard of it, this is..."

"I've heard that this is the most popular detective novel recently."

Xia De was very surprised by the maid's words. Dorothy's novel had only been serialized for a week, and he didn't expect it to attract attention so soon.

"The sales volume of "Steam Bird Daily" is already very large, and the newspaper has specially given up a good page for this detective novel~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition, the story itself is very good... this Is it based on you?"

The maid was a little curious.

"Yes, but to a great extent."

Xia De reopened the newspaper, wanting to see how Dorothy described the grievances and hatreds that spanned half a century without describing the occult and ghosts:

"I thought that people nowadays are still keen on ancient knight novels, or modern court novels. For detective novels that describe contemporary life, they should not be accepted so quickly."

"It's not that people don't accept it, but that there are no good stories to attract people. Most people's lives are very boring, and it's natural to want to find some fun in stories."

The black-haired maid said with a smile, Xia De nodded. But to him, his life was much more interesting than the detective stories in the newspapers.

"Speaking of... um... is Miss Galina mad?"

Hiding his face behind the newspaper, Shade finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Angry? Sir, did you do anything to make the lady angry?"

Xia De took a peek, and the maid was smiling. It's not that she doesn't know, but she asks knowingly.
