In short, the magic of praising the sun was successfully learned, and the scars left on the surface of the body were also removed by Shade using magic potion.
Yin Luna had to go back to the apartment to pack her luggage and tell Miss Jialina that she was going to travel far away, so she said goodbye to Xia De downstairs. Although she was leaving on Sunday, she knew that Xia De was also very busy, so she didn't want him to go out of his way to see her off, but Xia De disagreed:
"After all, you are going on a long journey. Although you have colleagues from the church to accompany you, if I really don't see you off, Luvia will blame me if she finds out. We are leaving on Sunday afternoon, right? Are you free at noon on Sunday?"
He extended an invitation:
"Just like today, let's go have lunch together. I've made a reservation at the restaurant in advance. Oh, don't be polite with me, we'll have a good meal this time."
After paying off Father Augustus for the materials, he only had over 2,000 pounds in cash left, but it was still enough to treat Yin Luna to a meal:
"Then we have a deal. See you on Sunday at noon."
"Oh well."
Yin Luna's face was red. She stood on the steps outside the door, holding her small bag in both hands, holding down her skirt. She turned her back to the busy Saint Teresa Square and nodded her head wearing a small red hat with flowers:
"See you Sunday then, Shad."
"See you on Sunday."
After seeing Yin Luna off, Xia De called Mia a few times, and seeing that she was lazily lying in the second-floor living room window basking in the sun and unwilling to move, he went to Old John alone.
With the elves' purified water and twilight dust, the special pigment formula provided by Leicia can be made. Old John took a close look at the formula and said that he could help make it, but it would take time:
"It takes half a week, and there are some troublesome steps involved."
“I can add money.”
"That'll take two days. You can pick it up on Sunday evening."
As the old man spoke, he listed in detail to Xia De the reasons why he could make the product faster if he paid more money, as if he was afraid that Xia De would misunderstand.
Of course, in addition to the pigments, Shade was also concerned about the special coins. In fact, since he first entered the Randall Valley in mid-January, he had never seen any other special coins except the eye coins he had purchased from the local area of the Randall Valley and used to predict the "Feast of the Mother Earth Goddess".
"Yes, it is true that a special coin was found from another place, but there is only one."
Old John said as he bent down and took out a box from under the counter. After the box was opened, a thin copper coin lay on the red velvet lining. On the side facing up, there was a picture of a basket filled with vegetables, fruits and bread.
Xia De frowned slightly and touched it with his hand:
"Poet level?"
"Detective, do you think certain kinds of relics are that easy to find?"
The old man said, and then introduced the specific uses:
"The Poet-level relic Emperor's Banquet Copper Coin. The origin of this relic is quite clear. Around 3900 in the Fifth Era, an unknown Witch Emperor loved to hold banquets for fun. She minted this batch of copper coins to reward those who won the banquet game. If you collect a hundred of them, you can ask the Witch Emperor to help you realize a wish - this was the use of these copper coins when they were still ordinary items in the Fifth Era."
"This is quite rare. The emperor actually used copper coins instead of gold coins."
Shad muttered, and Old John thought Shad was very ignorant:
"That's what you don't understand. This is not ordinary copper. It's the 'K'innoer Dwarf Copper' whose formula has been lost. The price of this copper alloy is much higher than that of gold. It is an important raw material for making the core of the golem."
Old John picked up the copper coin and handed it to Shade:
"After becoming a relic, its function became very strange. Throw out a copper coin and let it fall on an empty table to summon a sumptuous banquet. Yes, this is the only positive feature. As for the negative feature, there is a small chance that some strange things will appear at the banquet. As for the containment conditions, they are also very simple, just don't let it come into contact with alcohol for a long time."
After all, it is just a poet-level relic. This kind of relic may even be used for a long time by ordinary people without knowing it, so its positive and negative characteristics are not very strong.
Although the copper coin was very thin, its radius was extremely large, larger than any coin of the current mainstream currency. On one side was a picture of a basket filled with various foods, and on the other side was the number "1" surrounded by wheat ears.
At the bottom of the number, a sentence was written in very fine carving:
The right to interpret the banquet belongs to Emperor Kerry Washington.
"There is a saying that if you can collect 100 of these relics, something extraordinary will happen. But unfortunately, although the Witch Emperor likes to hold banquets, many copper coins have been circulated on the market. But if you want to collect 100 of them in our time, you might as well hope to find an angel-level relic."
Old John said, pulling out a note from the bottom of the box:
"This is not my product. I am selling it for someone else. This is the price. Negotiating is not allowed."
Xia De took a look at the price:
"Twenty-seven pounds, four shillings, seven pence? Such an exact price?"
"The cargo owner owes someone else a debt, and now he just needs this little money to pay it back."
The old man explained.
"But as a poet-level relic, especially a one-time, not very useful poet-level relic, isn't the price a bit too high?"
According to Shad, any price below 10 pounds would be acceptable.
Old John shrugged:
"The relic is indeed not very valuable, but the banquet summoned by the relic is valuable."
"What?"
"According to previous usage records and the Peace Church's admission records, as long as we prepare a large enough table, it is easy to summon a banquet with a total value of more than 50 pounds. From this perspective, this offer is actually cheap."
"Can it be calculated this way?"
Shade was also amused, but since he had come across a special coin, he had to buy it even if he had to pay a higher price. After all, for Shade and Luvia, the value of a coin was far beyond what its own characteristics could measure.
Having agreed to attend the party hosted by Margaret tonight, Shad took advantage of the afternoon when he had nothing to do, said goodbye to Old John, and came to Coldwater Harbor after a long absence.
To be honest, he seldom went to Coldwater Harbor this year, so when he saw Mr. Edmund of the old lighthouse, the latter complained to Shad that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"I feel like the temperature in Coldwater Harbor is even higher than in Tobesk."
As Shad helped the old man carry the bucket full of live fish into the lighthouse, he said, and Mr. Edmund, who was following behind with a fishing rod, nodded:
"The sea near Coldwater Harbor never freezes all year round. This is due to both the warm ocean currents and the weather in Coldwater Harbor. Except for the Randall River Valley in the southwest of the Old World and the bay area in the central and eastern parts of the Old World, the area near Coldwater Harbor is probably the first city to welcome spring in a year."
"The Randall Valley has not been warm at all this year."
Shade complained and put the fish against the wall, regretting that he didn't bring Mia with him:
"And I heard that this year is the coldest year in the Old World in the past 500 years."
Mr. Edmund glanced at Shad, because Shad often inquired about the folk customs of various places here, so he knew that Shad had the ability to travel to distant places:
"You've been in the Randall Valley recently? You really go wherever there's danger."
He asked Shade to sit down first, and he went to pour tea. The interior of the lighthouse was not cold at all in winter, but unusually warm:
"Something big is going to happen in the Randall Valley soon."
"Yes, the church and the three major colleges are sending people there, and I have to be careful not to be seen by acquaintances."
Shade said, and then asked:
"The Guiding Light Hermitage, aren't they sending anyone this time? Didn't Old John go to the island in the middle of the lake during the Pantanal incident?"
"You really know everything."
Mr. Edmund sat down opposite Shade, opened his glasses case and put on his glasses:
"We have people in the Randall River Valley, and it's not deep in the swamp where few people go."
What he said made sense, so Xia De asked his own question:
"This time I came here to ask if the Guiding Light Hermitage has any research or records on the Randall River Valley area?"
"What records do you want to know?"
"A local family. I've heard from locals that the family represented by the local Earl of Granger is related to almost one-third of the local surnames. This ancient family that can cover almost half of the city should not be an ordinary family, right?"
“This matter.”
Mr. Edmund nodded:
"I saw the records of the Priory. Although it is not very clear, the origin of this surname should be some extremely powerful alien bloodline in the Fifth Era. Although the direct descendants are now completely ordinary people, the power of the alien bloodline may still be manifested in the collateral descendants. The thirteenth ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, the Earth Shaker - Pierre Granger, is said to be from the same family as Granger of the Randall Valley."
"So does the hermitage have any records about the guardian of the Randall Valley?"
"I got news from the monastery that those guardians seem to be related to the Chosen One."
The old man said cautiously:
"In addition, there are also stories about the guardians in local legends. The monastic order doesn't know much about them, or rather, they know no more about them than the Orthodox Church. But everyone has a reason for doing anything, unless he is a lunatic. The guardians don't look like lunatics, so there must be a reason why they volunteered to guard the Randall Valley."
It seemed that no more information could be obtained from Mr. Edmund for the time being. So Shade asked about the special coins again. Perhaps because Shade had not been here for more than half a month, Mr. Edmund actually had new special coins.
There was also only one coin, but Shade had gotten this coin once before.
