The doctor was still in a dream. The two people standing in the corridor listened to the sound of rain outside and discussed the finishing work that would be done in a while.
The night gradually deepened, and Miss Louisa still looked very energetic:
"I will use telepathy to write down what happened tonight and put it here. When the True God Church arrives, they will understand what happened. The words written by telepathy are similar to printed words, so there will be no traces."
"Ms. Louisa, do you often 'cooperate' with the church like this?"
The stranger asked curiously, wanting to learn some experience.
"Not often, but doing so can effectively avoid trouble with the church. The Thaumaturgy Academy is not hostile to the Orthodox Church, but the church doesn't like us and thinks we are always causing trouble..."
From Shad's experience in just two weeks, it was hard for him to disagree with the church's views.
"So, leaving appropriate clues behind is also a way of showing the church an attitude. The church will also tacitly not pursue us."
“The relationship between us and the church is really…”
He flipped through the "Dlarion Common Language Encyclopedia" in his head:
“It’s really subtle.”
“That’s a really good word.”
The blonde girl praised.
Although the doctor told him to have twenty minutes, in reality, thirty minutes had passed by the time he woke up.
The dream did not make Dr. Schneider tired, but made him more energetic. In the summer night with the sound of drizzling rain, the doctor's tone was light and meaningful:
"A fourth-ring warlock who just happened to be suppressed by me."
He smiled at his two companions, and seeing that the bottle held by Shad contained eyes, he explained:
"Basically, I've found out that this eye is the left eye of the Count of the Secret Keeper-level Relic. The original owner of the eye was called Count Gaila, who lived in the late Fifth Epoch. After being assassinated, the eye of his corpse was obtained by a witch and made into an alchemical item, which later became a relic. The specific function is that when the magic eye looks into the eyes of any intelligent creature, the other party will receive a mental shock based on the difference in soul power and spirit between the two parties. In short, the magic eye has no effect on people who are more powerful than the holder, and for ordinary people, it is not difficult to turn the other party into a vegetable with just one glance."
"This kind of relic... ...is not very useful."
Miss Louisa was a little disappointed:
"If you are weaker than me, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to just use thaumaturgy? Why would I need to damage my own eyes to install something like this... Never mind, it's free anyway, doctor, detective, you can keep it, I'm not interested. I didn't provide the clues tonight, and I didn't help, so you don't have to give me anything."
"I said, tonight I only want the forged Philosopher's Stone, everything else is yours."
The doctor shook his head, and the magic eye belonged to Shade. Of course, from a moral point of view, he also needed to give Miss Louisa a sum of gold pounds as compensation for the exclusive use of the relic, after all, she also participated in the battle. But judging from the attitude of the blonde girl, she didn't seem to intend to ask Shade for money. After all, she cared about Shade's other things.
Although the doctor's frontal combat ability is not outstanding, there is no need for anyone to doubt his ability to enter dreams and obtain intelligence.
"We can go now. The two relics that Mercury Blood asked Ponton to keep are ordinary items to make him think that he is still trusted. The Silver Eyes have long discovered that Ponton is embezzling the organization's property. This man is here to silence us."
The doctor kicked the man who was sleeping on the ground, just like Miss Louisa did before. He shook his head at Shade:
"I also interrogated him about his past. This guy specializes in doing dirty work for the Silver Eyed Ones. In my opinion, he should be executed directly with a steam cannon."
"Have you found any clues to the forged Philosopher's Stone?"
Xia De asked again, this was the main purpose of tonight.
"No, but there are some clues. This guy knows more ordinary people who help Mercury Blood keep the relics. But you don't have to get involved in what happens next, detective. This kind of thing is too dangerous, and you are not suitable to act together."
Shade did not object, but nodded directly. The doctor was right. He came here tonight just to fulfill his promise to Miss Bei Yasi to "not take away any other relics except the forged Philosopher's Stone."
"So, have you found the Silver Eyed One's hiding place?"
Xia De asked Miss Bei Ya Si, and the doctor shook his head and picked up the dagger just like Xia De did before. Miss Louisa took a step back, and Xia De finally understood and took a step back, then watched the doctor stab the man in the heart.
The doctor pulled out the dagger and threw it aside. The metal and blood fell to the ground, making a sound amid the rain.
"After you injured the Silver Eyed Man, his injuries could not be cured by ordinary methods. He is now in a predicament of declining strength and no longer trusts the people around him. The guy who did the dirty work does not know the location of the Silver Eyed Man, and they exchange information through secret communications."
On the bright side, the decline in the power of the Nine-Ring Warlock Silver-Eyed One gave Miss Beatrice a chance to take revenge herself; but on the negative side, it would probably be more difficult for Miss Beatrice to find this cautious guy.
The three of them were dealing with the aftermath. Miss Louisa was using thaumaturgy to tell the story of the night, while Dr. Schneider and Shade were searching the body together.
After checking the pockets of the corpse, the doctor looked at Xia De with some confusion.
"Doctor, what's wrong?"
Shad looked at him strangely, thinking he had touched something strange. The killer did not bring a wallet when he went out to work, and Shad had only touched 3 shillings in change so far.
"There is something I shouldn't have told you because it's very dangerous. But after all, you were the one who brought the initial information about this matter, so it would be inappropriate not to tell you."
The doctor hesitated to speak.
"Then tell the detective that the magic eye just now had no effect on him, which is enough to explain the problem."
Miss Louisa encouraged, gesturing with her fingers in the air, and large pieces of text continued to appear on the paper.
The doctor thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped searching:
"Oh well."
Xia De looked at him, and the doctor's words rang out after the thunder:
"I know where God's gift box is."
He looked at Xia De, and Xia De also looked at him. It took him a while to understand the meaning of this sentence. He asked tentatively:
"You mean, you discovered the location of that Sage-level (Level 2) relic?"
Although this box seems to have no direct connection with what Shade experienced, it can also be said that the beginning of everything seems to be this box. If it were not for this relic, the blood of mercury would not have come to Tobesk, and the following series of events would not have happened.
After nearly three weeks of life and adventure, the news of God's gift box came to Shad again.
"Yes, detective, I can tell you the exact location, but you have to know the difference between greed and ambition. Tobesk is not peaceful. After Lakeview Manor, did you know that last Saturday night, an evil spirit almost dragged a certain block of this city into..."
Shade turned to look at Miss Louisa, who pretended to be interested in the "story" she had just written.
Seeing the two people's strange movements, the doctor continued to speak, but looked at them hesitantly:
"Although the Orthodox Church has blocked the news, I heard some information from Augustus. At that time, a high-level warlock used an enlightenment-like puzzle lock to confront the evil god's gaze head-on, and paid a price to save a street of people... Although it's incredible, I have seen even more incredible things in Lakeview Manor..."
He paused.
"It can't be you guys?"
Miss Shad and Miss Louisa just didn't go to see him.
"Detective? Writer?"
Doctor Schneider shouted softly. Seeing that they still had this attitude, he stood beside the body and lowered his voice to just cover the sound of raindrops hitting the window. He suddenly widened his eyes and a look of astonishment appeared on his face:
"Oh! My God, it's you!"
In short, although there were some minor accidents, the joint action of the three people on this rainy Monday night was still smooth. Not only was no one injured, but the doctor even got the next clue about the forged Philosopher's Stone of the relic.
But what is even more valuable is the news about God’s gift box.
Just like the information Miss Carina provided at the beginning, God's gift box cannot be moved due to some special reasons, so Mercury Blood is unwilling to leave the Tobesk area even when the Silver Eyed Man is seriously injured.
About a year ago, in the winter of 1852 in the General Calendar, while Tobysk was carrying out preliminary work on the third round of steam pipeline renovation construction, Mercury's Blood, who had discovered clues to the ruins in the ancient document "The Book of the Dead", secretly carried out excavation work underground in Tobysk, and then really found the ruins from the early Sixth Period buried deep underground in the city. The ruins are about 1,000 years old.
The man who had been killed by the doctor did not know what was in the ruins. He only knew that the God's gift box was found in the ruins. This relic was firmly fixed in a certain position in the ruins. Even with the means of the ring wizard, it could not be separated from the base that fixed it.
Therefore, the Silver-Eyed Man, as the leader, took the risk of sending most of the organization's manpower to sneak into the big city of Tobesk in an attempt to complete the creation of the so-called angel-level relic, Mercury Blood, in the ruins.
Although the dead man did not know the specific situation of the ruins, he learned the specific location of the entrance to the excavated ruins by secretly following the members of his organization. He did not want to monopolize the relics, but was just curious about this secret.
The location of the entrance was very familiar to Shad. It was only across the street from the alley where he accidentally discovered the statue of the old god "Duke of Vampires Lao Ai".
