On the following Sunday, Xia Deben wanted to go to a mental sanatorium with the doctor to find objects that could be used to create spiritual crystals, but the renovation of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square required him to personally inspect and accept it.

It took a whole morning for the acceptance process and for the workers to move the furniture in the basement upstairs and arrange it. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when all the workers evacuated, and Xia De also left the house with Mia. .

He first locked the door, put the key in his pocket, and then took out the key with a smile and opened the door.

Although he can open the door without a key, it is now a sense of ritual.

He opened the door and walked in with the cat. Turn around and close the door, and take a deep breath facing the stairs in front of you:

"Look, Mia, this is all ours!"

He also laughed himself, put the key into the biscuit box in the shoe cabinet, then hugged the cat who was poking around and didn't know what to do, and turned into the basement behind the stairs together.

He stretched out his hand and turned on the gas light switch on the wall, and a bright light shone in front of him. The basement walls have been painted and now hold a handful of building supplies such as metal pipes and stone bricks. There are also a few wooden frames that Shade asked the carpenter to build beside the wall. When he transforms this place into an underground alchemy workshop or a potion studio, stone bricks and shelves can be used.

"It's really good."

He said, and took the cat to the first floor again.

Different from the upstairs floors, the first floor is not divided into No. 1 and No. 2 rooms, and the whole is a residence. Now the kitchen, washroom, bedroom, living room, and study room on the first floor are all decorated, and the water pipes, gas pipes and steam pipes are all connected. The gas lamps and curtains are the styles Tifa chose for Shad, and the fireplace in the living room has been connected to the chimney on the roof, so it can be used normally in the winter after a few months.

Although Xia De and Mia have been living on the first floor this week, he still walked through every room on the first floor with joy. Finally, he opened the curtains, stood in front of the window behind the sofa, and looked at the lively scene outside. Saint Teresa Square:

"It's really good."

Nothing changed on the second floor, so I led Mia through the third floor from the second floor.

The structure of the third floor is exactly the same as that of the second floor. After a week of renovations, gas lamps and waterproofing of the walls were installed. Now it is completely different from the bad mold full of mold spots a week ago.

Open the two newly installed wooden doors on the third floor. There is no furniture inside the door, but it is as empty as the second room on the second floor downstairs. Since Shade still thinks that there may be hidden dangers that he has not noticed for the time being, he plans to use the two rooms on the third floor as functional rooms instead of decorating them as guest rooms, and the three bedrooms on the first floor as guest rooms. Rooms are just fine.

Of course, this is also convenient for Mia to run around.

"It's really good."

Finally, I went up to the attic through the stairs at the end of the corridor on the third floor. The area of ​​the attic was about two-thirds of the area downstairs, but it was a little low.

Xia De lowered his head and climbed up. Now there is only a small cardboard box in the corner.

The smile faded from his face, he put the cat aside, and knelt down to open the carton. Mia didn't run around, probably because she noticed the change in Xia De's mood. The small cat waited and watched Xia De's movements with big eyes.

The ordinary box in front of me was found behind the original decorative wall in the attic when the workers were renovating the third floor. Now, of course, that useless wall has been knocked down.

There are not many things in the cardboard box, but travel postcards and old photos from various places in the Old World. Although the photos were all landscape photos and no people could be seen, Xia De was inexplicably sure that they must have been left by Detective Sparrow. In addition to the fact that the house has only been used by Detective Sparrow in recent decades, it is also because of instinct. Except for spies who hide their identities, he can't think of anyone else who would take so many landscape photos without people while traveling.

Detective Sparrow knew that he would die. Since he had time to train Shad, he must have already disposed of sensitive items such as pistols and personal letters that might reveal his identity. As for his personal belongings before he came to Tobesk, he must have destroyed some of them, but in the end he did not choose to destroy these photos representing memories.

Xia De flipped through the postcards and the landscape photos that did not include Detective Sparrow himself. After thinking about it carefully, the locations of the postcards almost included almost all the famous cities in the Old Continent. Come to think of it, Detective Sparrow must have had very colorful experiences when he was young.

He was going to carry the suitcase down to his study, and these photographs were the true relics of Detective Sparrow, not the fake diaries complaining of no business and dwindling savings. The fact that Detective Sparrow did not destroy the photo also allowed Xia De to see the other side of the dead middle-aged man for the first time under the image other than the "Carson Rick spy".

After walking around the house, Shad was so satisfied that he almost wanted to take Mia to a big meal to celebrate the complete opening of the whole house. But he resisted the urge, after all, overeating is wrong.

The doctor had already gone to a mental sanatorium alone, so Xia De went to Luvia in the afternoon and asked about Mr. Riddle, a fortune teller from the Fifth Epoch.

Tonight is the second time to enter the winter of 1784 in the Fifth Epoch, Xia De didn't want to waste time. When Luvia was found, she was divination for others, so Xia De could only wait for a while.

Luvia gave good news:

"I have already obtained part of Sledge Riddle's biographical documents, and hand-copied the part that may be helpful to you."

She handed the heavy document bag to Xia De, with some troubled emotions on her face:

"This gentleman's life experience is very trivial, and the association is only willing to open part of the content to me. You want to find eight major events that he experienced, but I summarized the information, and there are only about four."

"It doesn't matter, the first time is two experiences, and the second time is four experiences, which can at least help me complete this expedition."

Xia De squeezed the document bag in his hand, judging from the thickness, he might spend the rest of today's time on reading these materials.

"But what about the third time? Are you going to wait until my application is approved? Or do you have other documents? Did Miss Feilianna mention this person in her notes?"

"of course not."

Xia De shook his head:

"We already know from the sixth era that that gentleman must have successfully left the Dreadfort, so even if my mission fails, it will not cause Mr. Riddle to die there... This is really tricky, except There is no other way other than the Prophet Association, no matter how rich his life experience is, he is just an ordinary man from the Fifth Epoch, and other organizations will not record this kind of information. In this way, I think I can wait for half a month."

"There is no other way for half a month, so you give up?"

Luvia raised her eyebrows, she didn't think Xia De was the kind of person who gave up easily.

"Of course not. Darkness is coming in half a month. Since we have decided to deal with him, we will definitely get some valuable news about him by then. You report the news to the association, and then use history to As a reward, the association will not refuse the information of Leach Riddle."

"That's a good idea."

Luvia nodded, then frowned again:

"Also, I'm curious about the level 0 relic you mentioned that can summon gods, so I did a little research."

"Have you found the information?"

"Found it."

"Um?"

Shade smiled in surprise. Neither the Prophet Association nor St. Byrence should easily release the information on the 0-level relic, so he didn't even think about checking the information on that table.

"When you mentioned that relic, I thought I had heard it. Shade, is this it?"

Luvia took out another photo and handed it to Xia De. It was a black and white photo, already a little yellowed. The photographer's technique was poor, and the lighting on the set was poor. From the perspective, the photographer seems to be shooting with the camera tilted, but the appearance of the table against the wall in the dark is completely captured, and Shad can clearly see the twenty grooves on it.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Dreadfort, challenging the gods on the table with Mr. Riddle. But soon he realized that he had only seen the relic in the photo, and the one beside him was not a slovenly middle-aged man who hadn't showered for a long time, but a beautiful girl he was familiar with.

But after traveling through the ancient times, nearly fifty centuries later, this table was actually seen by Xia De again.

"That's it, but what camera can take photos of level 0 relics?"

He was even more surprised, and Luvia shook her head:

"This is not a level 0 relic, nor can it summon the projection of the gods. It is a secret keeper level relic [Life Gambling Table]. It was housed in the flea market in the capital of the Slavic Principality."

The Slavic Principality is a country that has perished. In 721, the United Kingdom of Kasenlik had not yet unified the south.

"When two ring warlocks with a level difference of not more than two levels sit on both sides of the gambling table, the characteristics of the relic can be triggered. Through the gambling method you mentioned, the winner can obtain a spirit rune of the loser, and the loser will Die directly. But the winner also has to pay the price, the abnormal way of obtaining the spirit rune will pollute one's own spirit and elements, making it more difficult to improve later."

Luvia said, knocking on the table with her fingers, which is a habit of avoiding this thing from happening to herself when thinking of bad things:

"However, the most important function of this relic is to allow the ring warlock to show the specific appearance of the enemies he has encountered before, and to confirm what those unknown enemies are. As long as the gambling party declares to give up the bet at the end of the game, then The two only need to pay the spirit that started the game."

"It's a good use, but how can the function of calling gods disappear? Where is that table now?"

Xia De immediately asked, if he really can't win the game, maybe he can win in other ways by relying on his understanding of the game table.

[That is cheating. 】

There was a voice in her ear, but Xia De ignored her.
