Early on Wednesday morning, Shad received a suitcase from a stranger knocking on the door.

So after breakfast, leaving Mia to Luvia, who was sleeping late on the first floor to watch the stars last night, took care of her, and Shad set off for Midhill Castle again. .

But instead of going directly to the Mibao train station, he went to the Cassandra Auction House and found Grandma Cassandra, the Great Witch, for help:

"Excuse me, is there a way to completely change your appearance in a short period of time?"

Xia De asked, and the two were talking in the reception room on the top floor of the auction house. The old witch with silver-white hair seemed to welcome Xia De's arrival very much.

"I have a box of eyeshadow from Miss Galina here, but that can only slightly change my appearance. After a while, I will do something that must not reveal my identity, so is there a way to completely change my appearance?"

"How long will it last?"

The old man asked with a smile, Xia De thought for a while:

"About two hours."

"Is the other party a Ring Warlock?"

"Probably not."

Xia De felt that it was better to be more cautious. Maybe the guy who came to pick up the goods was forced to complete the work for various reasons just like himself.

"It's very simple."

Granny Cassandra called the maid on the side, the middle-aged woman with a level of about 5 rings, and immediately went to the auction house warehouse to pick up things:

"Also, bring the key."

Granny Cassandra ordered again, and after a few minutes, there were two more boxes with whispering elements on the coffee table, which meant that the boxes were all relics.

"The time key of 3024 in the fifth era. I know that Galina is helping you find the key for this time period. You just happened to be here, so I don't have to give her any more."

Granny Cassandra signaled Xia De to open the first box. On the red lining, there was a very familiar wooden key.

The key to the Vampire God's Reception in 3014 of the Fifth Epoch has been used all three times, and he can start a new adventure this Sunday morning. I planned to go to the academy to apply for a new key during the meeting on Saturday afternoon, and take a look at it at another time, but I didn't expect that Grandma Cassandra would be able to provide one.

"The other one is lent to you, open it and have a look."

Shad opened the other box, revealing a piece of metal attached to a rusted metal clip.

There is no word on one side of the metal sheet, and the identity information is written on the other side:

【Second Epoch History Research Institute, Typist, ****】

The place where the name of the person should have been written on the back has been scratched.

Below this line of identity information is the pattern of an open book occupying the center of the metal card. This is probably the badge of the so-called "Second Epoch History Research Institute".

Below that, there is a line of extremely tiny letters, which translates to:

[Without a name, everyone is us. 】

"What's this?"

"Keeper-level relic [identity card with unknown name], this relic has been passed down for a long time, and it is said to come from the ancient third era. Clip the small clip of this identity card to the breast pocket of your jacket, which can make you It becomes another image in the eyes, and every time it is used, the image will be different."

Granny Cassandra introduced that Xia De curiously checked the items in his hand:

Gu: "This is really convenient, but why is it at the Keeper level? Is it a special containment method, or is it a strong negative characteristic?"

"Containment is very simple. No more than 5 intelligent creatures can touch this card in one day. It's the negative characteristics that are powerful. Mr. Hamilton, do you know the Faceless Man?"

The old man asked while holding a teacup.

Xia De thought for a while:

"It seems to be a kind of terrifying creature that lived in the early fifth era. It lived by stealing people's faces and identities. Later, it offended a witch who shouldn't be offended, and was completely wiped out."

This is what I have seen from Miss Fei Lianna's handwriting.

"Yes, and the negative characteristic of this relic is that if it is held for too long or used too frequently, the user's face will peel off, and the face of others must be peeled off to survive. Once the negative characteristic is triggered, the user will be transformed For [Faceless Man], he gradually lost his mind and fell into madness, and at the same time, the more faces he peeled off, the stronger his power became, until he finally completely degenerated into an indescribable creature composed of thousands of faces."

Although she said terrible things, the old witch with silver hair still had a smile on her face:

"If you only use it for two hours, and it's the first time you use it, you won't encounter any problems. Once you are really unlucky and feel that your face is strange, take off the relic immediately, and then continue to chant your name , to enhance self-awareness."

"Okay, this is very helpful to me, so give me this key, and borrow

What do I need to pay for this relic? "

Shad asked.

"No, no, no reward is needed."

Granny Cassandra shook her head, and said before Xia De spoke:

"But I need you to do one thing, remember I mentioned last week, my teacher, is preparing a once-in-22-year ceremony?"

Granny Cassandra's teacher is not a witch of the witch council, but she is also respected by the council.

"Remember."

Xia De nodded, but muttered in his heart:

"Huh? 22 years?"

"I would like to invite you to watch the ceremony~lightnovelpub.net~ The specific time has not yet been determined, but it will definitely be held in the mountains of Mount Xikale before the end of this month. If you have time, please come and watch with me. "

"Just tell me the time and place."

Xia De nodded, but he didn't promise to go, after all, he didn't even know what kind of ceremony it was.

After bidding farewell to Granny Cassandra, Xia De clipped the ID badge to the inside pocket of his coat in the Cassandra Auction House. He himself has not been deformed because of this, but in the eyes of others, he has changed into another appearance.

This can be judged by the mirror. Xia De in the mirror has now become a middle-aged man with thinning hair and heavy dark circles. He almost wants to write "mid-life crisis" on his face.

After that, I bought a red rose near the Mibao train station, put the gray gloves prepared in advance on my hands, and put the golden pen in my pocket. Xia De carried the suitcase and walked into the bustling train station.

After buying a platform ticket, I took another look at the train timetable of the train.

According to Professor Higgins' last words, Shad was asked to deliver the goods at 9:30 this morning. Xia De is not sure, the person who receives the goods is in this city, so he will leave by car at this time; or the person who receives the goods is out of town and will come by car at this time.

And at around 9:30, there were seven or eight steam trains departing for Kasenlik and coming from Kasenlik. This seemed to be one of the busiest times of the day at the station.

Since there were no clues worth analyzing, Xia De pretended to be a passenger waiting for the train, and waited slowly with his suitcase on the steam-filled and crowded platform.
