Remember【】for a second!

"Sorry, ten months ago? You mean, I died at the beginning of this year?"

Now it's not only Xia De, but even Sister Divelin slightly raised her head to look at the "boy".

"I, died at the beginning of this year?"

Shad repeated it again, pointing at himself incredulously:

"Mr. Button, you can't talk like this when you are joking. Please hold my hand and tell me if I am still alive."

Even if calculated according to the time when the original owner was occupied by a foreigner like him, the "date of death" should be the third Saturday of June this year, not the more distant beginning of 1853.

Xia De said, holding out his hand. As expected, Joey Button stood up with great effort, bent down and reached out to hold it.

[One ring. . 】

"Yes, you are still alive."

It was just a touch and then let go, and the "boy" still had an expression of disbelief on his face:

"The divination just now was [death], and now it is like this... Oh, Mr. Watson, sorry, I don't think I can do the divination for you."

"What's the meaning?"

"Maybe there is something wrong with my divination, maybe something happened to you that you don't even know about."

Joey Barton pointed to the envelope on the table:

"You only need to pay for one person. I think you are the so-called person who escaped death."

He looked a little depressed, and said softly:

"But sometimes, death is also a very good thing. After all, life always has an end. Normal birth, normal growth, and normal death are natural and very enviable... ..”

Before Shad asked another question, Joey Barton clapped his hands, let the people outside the door come in, and prepared to send the guests away.

Although Xia De was still puzzled, he also knew that it was best not to ask too many questions, after all he had plenty of opportunities to come here again. So he stood up and pushed Sister Devlin away. The nun also had no intention of asking any other questions.

When the two returned to the carriage, Xia De immediately expressed his doubts to the nun, and the nun told him not to worry:

"Mr. Hamilton, maybe you have been helped by a great person, but you don't know it. Did you encounter any accidents at the beginning of this year?"

At the beginning of this year, the Outlanders hadn't arrived yet. Because he didn't inherit any memory, Xia De didn't know what happened to the original owner at that time. He only knew that Detective Sparrow met the homeless man around that time and took him in. When St. Byrence Comprehensive College investigated Shad's identity information, it did not point out that the original owner had encountered unusual things at the beginning of this year:

"This is really strange. Maybe I should investigate the news of the collapse of towers in the Old World and the New World at the beginning of this year. If what the 'boy' just said is correct, I hope the tower he is referring to is not An unremarkable mill tower in the countryside, or an abandoned tower in a remote mountainous area."

Xia De sighed, he didn't expect that he would get such a result from divination:

"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the purpose of this time. Sister, that Mr. Joy Barton, looks really wrong, do you see anything in your eyes?"

"His body is indeed 13 years old, but his soul seems to be over 40 years old."

The nun on the eleventh ring said.

Xia De was startled, and asked softly:

"In other words, that body...is not his?"

He thought about his situation.

"No, that body is his, and the soul fits perfectly with the body."

"His soul has been separated out alone, and has gone through a long time?"

Xia De gave another guess, but the nun shook her head slightly:

"It's just a guess at the moment. I'll let the church investigate. He's weird. Since the accent is a local accent, he must have had a long history of living in the local area."

"What about his eyes? When he used his eyes to see through death, did you notice the Rhodes card? Did that card give him the power to see through death, or was that card just a cover?"

Although only a coffee table was separated at that time, Xia De could not distinguish the source of the power. He only knew that those eyes were at least not magic eyes.

"His eyes are really amazing. I think seeing through death should be his own talent."

said the nun, and after a moment's hesitation, added:

"But the Rhodes card gave me a very strange feeling. The card is indeed an ordinary item, but... it seems to have enhanced the power of his eyes. Perhaps, this is a strange casting condition that I don't know."

Xia De has some guesses about this, but everything still has to wait for the nun to investigate and find out what the other party is talking about.

"So, do you think it is possible for Joey Barton to join the spiritual order?"

"I don't think I will absorb him. The order doesn't welcome people with too many secrets."

The nun put on the crown-like silver eyepatch again, and bound her long hair with the metal on both sides of the eyepatch:

"The order will re-investigate Joey Barton. There may be a way to solve the danger hidden in this person. Mr. Hamilton, this cooperation is very pleasant. You are a friend of the order, and you are welcome to come to me for help .As for the matter of Joey Barton, I will inform you when I have follow-up information. It can be seen that you are also quite curious about him."

The carriage sent Shad to Oak Street, and then left with Sister Devlin.

And the reason why Xia De got off at Oak Street was because he had already made an appointment with Priest Augustus to meet at noon today and wanted to ask him something.

Since the last time the priest gave Xia De's thaumaturgy and Zama information, the two haven't seen each other for more than half a month. When we met again at noon that day, the priest was still very emotional about how busy he has been recently.

Because he was worried that Xia De would be seen with him, the priest specially found a restaurant far away from the center of Miburg to invite Xia De to have lunch. The two exchanged the recent situation of Tobesk and Fort Midhill, and Shade also told the priest that Dorothy had successfully promoted from the fourth ring to the fifth ring.

The priest told Xia De that the Church of the Five Gods had mobilized so many old priests from all over the Old Continent to prepare for a large-scale ceremony, and the ceremony is no longer a problem, and it will probably be held later next week.

"So, is that really a ritual to suppress Hazama?"

Xia De asked while cutting the steak in front of him with a knife. This is a beef steak, which is said to be a famous local variety in Fort Midhill.

"Yes, there was originally a thirteen-ring warlock 'Nature Singer' from the Church of Nature in the local area, and two more have been transferred in recently. Besides them, Iluna Bayas from our church has also returned, I remember she is you friend."

Xia De nodded:

"Yes, come by steam airship, it should arrive in this city tomorrow, that is, Monday."

Priest Augustus looked around and said in a low voice:

"Then you don't know, I just heard the news last night that the steam airship encountered trouble during the journey! So it was originally scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but now I'm afraid it will be postponed until Tuesday."

"What happened to them?"

Xia De looked at the priest in surprise, and the priest was very emotional:

"A green dragon."

Priest Augustus shook his head and said with a sigh:

"It seems to have flown from the open sea, and somehow I ran into that steam airship. But don't worry, the problem has been solved. It is said that Miss Beas killed it in the air with a single shot of the sun gun. the dragon."

Seeing Xia De's curious face, Priest Augustus added:

"It was a pure-blooded green dragon. Although it was only a young dragon, it was seriously injured by the high-ring warlocks who were also on the airship, and it was also weakened by the divine magic ceremony on the airship belonging to the Church of the Sun. As a low-level warlock, killing a dragon in air combat is probably only possible for ancient legendary heroes."

He stirred the broth in front of him with a spoon:

"The young people nowadays are really amazing. I think Iluna Bayas will definitely become the hero on the Rhodes card in the future. The title of dragon slaying hero, in the contemporary era when most dragons disappear, even ten Three-ring warlocks may not be able to get it either."

Then he took out his pipe, of course the priest would not smoke in a public place like a restaurant, he just took it out to wipe it habitually.

"How did you deal with the corpse of the green dragon?"

Shad asked again.

"It is said that they are staying where they are and waiting to be dealt with. After all, it is necessary to investigate where this dragon came from. However, apart from the green dragon, I heard that after the airship took off again, there was another sage-level humanoid relic. I slipped into the cabin. I'm not a ring warlock of the church, so I don't have much specific information, but I heard that the main body is a black human figure, and after pretending to be someone who doesn't exist in people's memory, a series of murders were committed. They were successfully deported when they were discovered."

"That boat was unlucky, I mean, it was a rough trip for them."

Xia De sighed, picked up the glass of fruit wine at hand, and Priest Augustus also picked up the wine glass, and touched Xia De in the air:

"Good luck to them!"

This is Shade's own cider, and the restaurant allows BYO.

After the two put down their glasses, Xia De asked what he was most concerned about:

"Priest, may I ask if you have any power related to the eye of death? Thaumaturgy, magic eye or talent."

"That's a really weird question."

Priest Augustus said, but he was not wary of Xia De, so he didn't mind telling Xia De about such private things:

"Of course, these eyes of mine can see any spirit, yes, any spirit."

But Xia De's eyes can also do this, and Xia De can't think that he may be the chosen one of death just because he has strong perception.

"Also, I can vaguely see some signs of people who are about to die. It's very vague, almost like inspiration."

"Is this the thaumaturgy you gave me?"

"No no~ lightnovelpub.net~ is another talent of mine."

Priest Augustus said that the two were sitting at the innermost side of this "John's Steakhouse Restaurant", so it was convenient for him to glance into the entire restaurant:

"Like that gentleman."

The priest pointed to the stranger who had just entered the door. He was wearing a decent suit and holding a black briefcase in his hand. He was probably a clerk working nearby:

"He'll be dead in three months."

"What was the cause of death?"

"How do I know? Oh, detective, don't think too much of that talent."

The priest said, while Xia De believed that the talent of priest Augustus was somewhat similar to that "boy" he saw in the morning, but his performance was undoubtedly weaker than the latter.

"Also, I can vaguely perceive the thoughts of the soul by staring at the soul, but it must be at a very close distance and for a long time."

This is very similar to Sister Devlin's talent again, but compared to the gray-haired nun's ability to understand the secrets of the soul at a glance, the performance of the priest's talent is undoubtedly much worse.
