Chapter 1909 Pursuit of Wisdom and Demon Scholar

"Do you know anything else? Your rebellion against your ancestors is definitely not a new idea. Before the 'God Caller' didn't explicitly intervene in this matter, what preparations did you make?"

Xia De then asked, after all, the appearance of the "God Caller" happened last summer, and according to Maria Edwards' few words, it was more than ten years ago that Nadia Furren came up with this idea.

"I won't tell you my cards."

"Then what is your hole card aimed at? In your opinion, what is the most threatening thing about your ancestor? Weapons? Relics? Helpers? Or is it a power that I don't understand?"

"See through the eyes of fate."

Nadia Foran replied in the affirmative:
"The ancestor has always predicted the fate of all members of the family. Although he can't know everything about what will happen in the future, he has already seen the direction of the torrent of fate. We want to be rescued, and it is important to master the power to defeat him, but What is more important is to jump out of his divination fate. This requires more than creating the [Remains of the Defiler] contained by the Church, the [Twenty-sided Dice of Fate] contained by St. Byrence Comprehensive College, and the [Organ of Doom] contained by the Prophet Association. And a powerful relic that interferes with fate."

She paused to give Shad time to think:

"This is the most important reminder I give you: when fighting the ancestor, you must carry the relics that interfere with fate. Otherwise, he will predict every attack you make against him in advance."

Xia De frowned:

"The three relics you mentioned are all well-known secret keeper-level (level 3) relics. The relics that interfere with fate each have a reason why they cannot be used casually."

"There are rumors that the Prophet Association recently discovered a level 0 fate-type relic. It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise, if it can be found, the success rate of defeating the ancestors can be increased to at least 50.00%."

The woman said that although Xia De was used to hearing Edwards' fear and admiration for the fortune-teller, he still couldn't help asking:

"So you think, even if you gave me important information, our current winning percentage is still less than half?"

"Up to 20.00%. Although you are very strong, your ancestors have planned for 200 years, and it is definitely not something you can deal with in two months. You are also a ring magician who is good at space power according to the rumors. Then you should understand, even It is possible that you will not be able to see your ancestors who deliberately avoided you at the end. I have never liked to hand over my future to fate, but the family dinner on Wednesday can only depend on whether fate favors us."

Footsteps came up the stairs, and a waiter brought Nadia Furlan's rum on a tray.

She drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up and prepared to leave.And it was less than 10 minutes before she sat down:
"That's all I have to say. Hope to see you at the dinner on Wednesday."

"Wait a minute, I have one last question."

Xia De stopped her:

"Do you know what deal [Truth Society] is doing with your ancestors? What do they want from the Edwards family?"

The woman sat down again, thought for a moment and replied:

"I also want you to answer me a question: Do you have a relationship with someone in your family that goes beyond friendship?"

"What is the purpose of this question?"

Xia De narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Are you sure how far you will go to fight against your ancestors?"

"Yes. I am in a relationship with a girl from your family."

Nadia Furlan did not ask Shad to produce evidence:

"The Truth Society does not specifically seek the materials of human body refinement, nor do they want their ancestors to divination for them. They want their ancestors' research on the soul. I don't know much about it. I only know that it is about the formation of the soul, spiritual ignition and wisdom. The study of the birth. Maybe, they are thinking about the original origin of the soul, the research of the Truth Society, always so weird but creative."

"Soul. Soul research is strictly prohibited in the Sixth Era."

"Yes, but this part is indispensable for human body refining. The demons summoned and cooperated by the ancestors also provided him with sufficient information. Although the focus of the ancestors' research is not these, the [Truth Society] is very concerned about these contents. It also benefits from The cooperation with [Truth Association] has changed direction and promoted the progress of the ancestors in the direction of human body refining."

"What is the Truth Council trying to do?"

Xia De thought in his mind, and Nadia Furren had already got up.Without saying goodbye to Xia De, she went straight to the stairs.Xia De heard her unusual heartbeat to the first floor, and then left the tavern until he disappeared into the sound of rumbling rain.

Xia De didn't stay here for long, and shortly after Nadia Furren left, he broke into the rain again with an umbrella.

Thinking about these new information in his heart, he hurriedly left the slum along the alley, found a rental carriage at the street corner, and let the carriage head towards the pier by the Duin River in the city.

In order not to disturb this private meeting, Xia De didn't even ask Megan to arrange a carriage to pick him up, but asked the boat to wait for him on the river and bring him back to the cruise ship.Along the way, Xia De didn't talk to the coachman. He got off the carriage and held an umbrella, and went down the steps at the gap along the riverside street to the trestle bridge on the bank.

It's just that he originally asked the boat to come back after ten o'clock in order to prevent the boat from being suspected of staying too long.And now it was only 09:30, the meeting with the cultist was too fast, so he had to wait another half hour.

But this is also good, Xia De also has time to think in the rain with an umbrella, and transform the newly obtained information into a response plan, and add it to the action plan on Wednesday night.

How to go to the island with Megan and Audrey is still no progress, but Shade seems to need to find another relic that can interfere with divination besides [Twenty Sided Dice of Fate] to carry with him.His fate is difficult to be divined by others, but if the diviner only relies on powerful inspiration to perceive his next move in battle, then no specific act of divination is involved.

"The cards are his means of resurrection"

This is also something that needs to be paid attention to. Regardless of whether the information was released deliberately by Laplace Klein Howard, the set of cards must be contained or destroyed in advance.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Although I originally wanted to stand here and continue to wait, the umbrella could not stop the raindrops blown by the wind.Xia De thought about the things in his heart, turned around and climbed the steps back to the avenue along the lake, thinking about finding a place nearby to shelter from the rain.

On one side of the street is the Duyin River, and on the other side are two-story low-rise buildings.Because of the proximity to the slums, the streetscape and the exterior walls of the houses looked pretty bad in the rain.There is no tavern on this street, so Xia De decided to find a shelter under the rainy roof for a while.

Although there are gas lamps along the street, they are quite far apart from each other.Xia De could only rely on his dark vision to scan the nearby street scene, and his sight fell on the signboard of "Jenny's Flower Shop".

The building of the flower shop is exactly the same as the buildings on both sides. It is just for the convenience of allowing the flowers and plants to have a place to bask in the sun. The owner of the flower shop is abruptly on the outside of the second floor of the flower shop and built a small terrace facing the street.

This also means that there is a rain shelter formed by a terrace facing the street above the first floor, so Shad walked over.

The flower shop has long been closed, and through the dirty window, you can see the wilted roses displayed inside.However, there were no traces of any elements nearby, and Xia De didn't expect to encounter relics casually, so he didn't take it to heart.

There are round tables and chairs fixed on the ground at the entrance of the flower shop, which seems to be one of the decorations made by the owner of the flower shop.Xia De put away the umbrella and stood by the wall, then sat down at the table, took out a candle and stood it on the table, and then watched the splashing water curtain slide down from the edge of the terrace above his head, and flow through the street to the Duin River.

"A decisive battle on a rainy day."

He continued to think about the arrangements for Wednesday, waiting for the boat to arrive, and staring at the street scene of Green Lake in the rain.I sighed in my heart that this city was destined to be recorded in the history books, but suddenly I saw another figure of a man holding a black umbrella coming from the rain from the intersection.

Xia De heard the whistle, and also saw the other party deliberately staggered as he walked.When the figure gradually approached, he saw the specific image of the other party.

The top of the head is bald, leaving only hairy stubble.The skin is dark, the double eyelids of the two eyes are extremely severe, and the body is wrapped in an unusual brown old-fashioned robe that people in desert areas often wear, but the clothes at least look quite warm in the rainy night.

As for the feet, there are a pair of brown boots that look like laces and leather buckles.But the pair of boots were also very worn out, which made this person look like he was not from the upper class.

Xia De stood up and looked at Mr. "Demon Scholar" Sean Asmond, who just appeared in this rainy night.The black eyes under the scholar's umbrella raised slightly, and with a cautious but slightly cold smile, he glanced under the flower shop, which was obviously suitable for shelter from the rain. Then, in the light of the candles on the table, he saw Xia De looking at him in surprise.

The dull-skinned middle-aged man also recognized who was sitting at the table, so he raised the corners of his mouth and stopped, stepping on the puddles of the road with his boots and walking towards this side, with his usual expression on his face A weird smile with the corners of the mouth turned upward.

The umbrellas were put away under the terrace of the flower shop, and the weird Delarion language that belonged to Sean Asmond was spoken:
"Mr. Watson, Mr. Watson, the two of us always meet in unexpected scenes. It's been a long time since we left Randall Valley."

The rain was pattering, and although he had long thought that he would meet this gentleman unexpectedly in the Green Lake area, Xia De did not expect that this meeting would be in such an environment.

The two shook hands, the scholar's hand still rough.

Xia De waited for a moment——

[There are no traces of elements. 】

He was relieved.
