Whispering Poems

Chapter 1689 The Seer's Crime
"I want to talk to you too, but don't you still have a job?"

"Work is not as important as family. I can't neglect my family just because I value work."

Saying that, she took Xia De's hand and led Xia De to the stairs. The word "indifference" made Xia De's heart skip a beat, but he thought that it didn't matter anymore.

In the living room, Xia De took advantage of Luvia to eat and told what happened tonight.Little Mia lay on Shad's lap, waiting patiently for Shad to give it some supper.

When Xia De finished telling the story, Luvia was almost finished eating. She went to the bathroom to wash up, and gave Xia De a hug when she came back:
"Look, it's you going on this adventure again. You're the strongest of us, and always have been. I just heard you describe the feeling of falling in the abyss alone, and I knew I couldn't bear it. "

She whispered in Xia De's ear.

"You don't need to comfort me like this. I knew that I had emotional problems at the time, but then I was fine. That evil god... It's strange, I understood him, and then the cold feeling of falling disappeared. I can't be arrogant I think that I really understand the thoughts of a god, I mean I'm fine, Luvia, just get some sleep."

Her purple eyes were still looking at him worriedly, but she still nodded slightly:

"I believe in you. I have gained a lot tonight, and part of the secret of that island has finally been revealed. I didn't expect that on the opposite side of that island, in another space, there is actually another island."

"The dense fog and that strange tentacle man most likely came from that strange island. Although the head of the tentacle man was smashed, he is definitely not dead. The last beam of light should belong to the first generation lord of the Edwards family." Sure enough, the handwriting is not dead. He is probably the enemy this time, if it is only the thirteenth ring, it is not dangerous at all compared to the previous few times."

When it came to business, Xia De took it a lot seriously.Luvia tilted her body slightly and leaned against Xia De's arms, listening to his heartbeat and asked:

"I guess that Edwards witch should have seen something."

"Yes, Audrey said that the first time I landed on the island, the distance was too far to sense. This time the tentacle man took the initiative to walk out of the fog, and she could feel that he is also Edwards' blood."

The purple-eyed girl smiled:
"The seniors of the Prophet Association really shouldn't be underestimated. Fortunately, I also found some interesting things before the association seized all the information on Laplace Klein Howard.

He is not only an outstanding fortune-teller, but also a master alchemist with great means. He has studied the Philosopher's Stone in depth, and may even have contact with the "Blood Spirit School", trying to learn the alchemy skills of reconstructing the human body.Guess what, Xia De, why did he rebel against the Prophet Association back then? "

"It can't be because you can't beat the president of the association back then in poker, right?"

He made a joke, and Luvia shook her head slightly:

"But it is indeed related to the Rhodes card. I think you still remember the origin of the contemporary Rhodes card rules?"

"Yes, that's what you told me—

Hundreds of years ago, the Association discovered a Vientiane Impermanence card in the database - [Vientiane Impermanence·Knowledge].While searching for relevant information, I found another sheet of 【Impermanence · Destiny】 from the notebook of Mr. Sledge Riddle, an ancient fortune teller from the Fifth Era.According to these two cards and the rest of the manuscripts, Mr. Charnem Rhodes, the president of the association, created the Rhodes card playing method and system, which has been used until now. "

Luvia nodded:

"However, there are actually different opinions within the association about the reason why the Rhodes card game was created. What I tell you, that is, what most people think is that the Rhodes card game was created to promote the release of divination cards , in order to find a new profit point for the association's divination business that was sluggish at that time. However, that Laplace Klein Howard believed that the creation of the Rhodes card system had a profound meaning, which was related to the truth of the world and the doomsday. related to arrival."

Xia De frowned and thought for a moment:
"He has his own ideas, isn't that a mistake?"

"Of course not, but he stole the tomb of President Chanem Rhodes and was caught afterwards, which is a crime that is absolutely not allowed. He was supposed to be imprisoned, but he ran away ahead of time. He He even tried to snatch the two Impermanence cards from the Association before he escaped—now there is only one, and [Founding·Knowledge] is in your hands. Fortunately, the prophets of the Association are not incompetent."

Luvia shook her head lightly:
"If I hadn't seen the exact information, I wouldn't dare to imagine that this kind of thing had happened in the association. Before Laplace Klein Howard escaped, he was injured by the then president and three vice presidents. And it was a fatal injury. Divination showed that he was definitely dead, so the Association gave up on the investigation without finding any clues after more than 30 years of investigation. Unexpectedly, he actually ran to the Green Lake area and hid for more than 200 years."

"This person is more troublesome than I thought. If he was the one who made the attack half an hour ago, he can definitely be regarded as the one with the stronger fighting power among the thirteen rings."

Xia De said with emotion that his perception is stronger in the state of divine overflow, so he can distinguish this.

"It's best to be him, otherwise, doesn't it mean that there are still powerful guys on the island that we don't know?"

Luvia said, looking at Shad with purple eyes:

"Let's talk about these things tomorrow. You look really sleepy. Go to the bedroom. I'll rest with you."

Xia De was indeed extremely sleepy, because he only used one move in the state of overflowing divinity, so he did not faint after the state ended.But that doesn't mean he doesn't need to take a good rest.

"I'll just go and rest by myself, you don't have to accompany me, don't you still have work to do?"

The purple-eyed girl smiled and kissed his side face:
"I said, you are more important than work. And my enthusiasm, can't you better dispel your indifference?"

"Actually, work is more important. I don't have any."

The purple-eyed girl patted his arm reproachfully:
"Think about it carefully, Xia De, what do I want to do? I can work anytime, but if I miss the night, there will be nothing."

"Meow~"

"Mia, you can sleep in the living room tonight. Good night, wish us sweet dreams."

(The girl Iluna is praying.)

Luvia, who was still worried about Xia De's mental state, was completely sure that Xia De was absolutely fine when she woke up in a daze on Tuesday morning.At the breakfast table, she still asked Xia De in the morning light how he got out of such a serious "psychological trap".

Xia De said while touching Mia:
"At the time, I was indeed a bit overwhelmed, but after thinking about it carefully, I have less in this world than most people. If I don't care about you and Mia, what's the point of my coming to this world?"

He sighed:
"I also admit that sometimes I feel lonely, and that feeling probably stays with me for the rest of my life."

After all, he was a stranger, a real stranger.

"But I also understand that I have established a new relationship and acquired a new identity. Therefore, it is indeed my attitude towards life to look at the world indifferently, but I will not be indifferent to everything."

He looked at Luvia's purple eyes with a smile:

"I don't care about the territorial dispute between De La Rion and Carson Rico, who is the richest man in the world, or whether the city I live in can still maintain its old-fashioned appearance amidst the industrial wave. But I care about you, Mia, Care about all the people who pass me by."

He spoke his mind:

"Gluttony, greed, laziness, arrogance, anger, indifference. These are all my sins, but they are not all of me."

"I already believe that you're fine. You showed your enthusiasm last night. I'm glad you can figure out these things. Some ring warlocks have no chance of being promoted in their entire lives because they are troubled by their own thoughts."

Her ears are a little red in the morning light:

"Besides, it should be more suitable for you than these six crimes."

She blinked at Xia De, who shook his head with a smile, and saw the portrait of him in the snow that Hayla Oxenfurt had painted for him hanging on the wall.

He still has things to do.

Today is Tuesday, and Xia De has no plans to go out.Luvia went out to work after breakfast, but she will come tonight to continue to adjust her stargazing equipment and record star maps.

Since there was nothing important, Xia De slowly packed the breakfast dishes before going to the basement to get what he needed.

Just as he reached the stairs, he heard a knock on the door.After opening the door, it was found that outside the door was Priest Augustus.The old priest looked dusty, with a black suitcase in each hand:
"Good morning, detective, I was afraid you had gone out."

The priest said with a smile, and Xia De stepped aside to let him in.

Priest Augustus visited this time to deliver something to Shad.After the meeting last Saturday, the two chatted about the Edwards family in Green Lake and the remains of the angel in Regent's Park. Priest Augustus learned that there was a suspected thirteen-ring fortune teller on the island, and there were ten more people outside the island. After the hidden mirror man of the third ring, he decided to make some useful things to help Xia De.

It was supposed to be Xia De who went to find him to get things, but the priest happened to have time today, so he took the initiative to come to Xia De with things:
"This box is potion, you probably need it. The other box contains alchemy props to help you fight against the thirteenth ring. Although it is impossible for you to have the strength comparable to theirs, it is still no problem to protect you Yes. The sage-level relic shield also gave me inspiration, which can be regarded as the most troublesome thing I have made so far, but it will definitely be useful to you."

　PS: There is a big recommendation on the 16th, and more updates will be added at that time.
