"Hmm... almost nothing?"
Shad used a question to answer the question.
"Yes, so I bet that in the past six months, there have been no more than three events that match the prophecy on the stone tablet, and there may not even be one."
Xia De nodded and looked down at Mia who was being held. He was in a very delicate mood at the moment. The epic of the Sixth Epoch was being pushed forward by him again.
"Excuse me, do you have any further clues about the second chosen one? Maybe we have found the incident, but there are too many survivors."
"The rest of the Whispering Verses in the hands of the Council do not record the second chosen one, but our partners have provided information indicating that the power of the second chosen one is related to darkness. Having missed the crucial first chosen one, neither party will give up the second chance now."
The witch narrowed her eyes, wondering what she was thinking of. Shade nodded again, frowning as if in deep thought. Miss Carina didn't think much about it, but just thought he was worried about the chosen one, so she comforted him:
"Don't worry too much. After all, this matter has nothing to do with us. Let the people of the West Coast solve what happened. I have decided not to return to Saradir County for the time being, and the parliament also supports my continued stay in Tobesk. This way, even if something happens in this city again, you will be able to find someone to help."
Xia De wanted to continue nodding, but suddenly frowned and looked up at the Duchess:
"I'm sorry, you mean here..."
He pointed down:
"What else is going to happen?"
Miss Carina laughed, and for a moment, Shade almost saw the shadow of Princess Leicia in her:
"I knew you could hear what I meant. Remember the vampire you brought me?"
"Of course I remember."
Shade endured the other party's sublimation words, and the scene of the bloody dusk seemed to have happened yesterday. The vampire belonged to the Blood Spirit School and was originally operating around Tobesk, but it was not him who was sent to Tobesk to help the Lord of the Blood Feast. It was only because of the corpse of the ancient ring sorcerer in the corpse tree that he temporarily participated in this matter.
"You brought me the letter from the vampire. The Council deciphered the code and found that the other party appeared around Tobesk in order to find the angel-level relics that were out of control around the city."
She paused, wanting to tell Shad about the darkness, but Shad immediately indicated that he knew about it.
"The letter I brought with me didn't have many specific details. But the Council believes that there will be changes in the follow-up of this matter. Otherwise, the Blood Spirit School has no reason to allow vampires to come to us from the New World."
But no one knew what the Blood Spirit School was trying to do. The body of the vampire was severely damaged and had no spiritual value, which meant that no answer could be obtained from the vampire.
The two ring sorcerers who were sent to Tobesk from the New World by the Blood Spirit School because of the incident in Tobesk should have just entered Coldwater Harbor on the night of the God's Descent. Therefore, the Witch Council believed that the two were most likely in Coldwater Harbor, continuing to be responsible for receiving refugees from the Mercury Blood Organization.
After that, they may give up the mission and return to the New World, but they may also continue to Tobesk to complete what the vampires have not completed. Miss Carina's current mission in Tobesk is to wait for their arrival and try to capture them alive.
"I'll tell you when I have news. People from the Blood Spirit School should come to us in a legitimate capacity, so sometimes you will need to step forward."
Miss Carina said.
"no problem."
Feeling the carriage stop, Shade turned his head and looked out the window. As the conversation ended, he had already arrived home.
After returning home, Xia De simply saved his dinner because he was a little full at noon. But people can save their dinner, but cats cannot.
Mia was eating on the sofa, while Shad was sitting on the sofa thinking about something. At nine o'clock that evening, Luvia finally came.
"Did you really find eleven coins?"
This was the first sentence the fortune teller said when Shade opened the door. Night had already fallen, and the street lights in the entire circle of Saint Teresa's Square behind her were all lit up. The workers hired by the City Hall were cleaning the ground of the square, and the vendors that could be seen during the day had disappeared, leaving only a group of pigeons still walking around.
In a square like Saint Teresa's Square, which is located in the center of the city, some licensed vendors sell goods during the day. But this is not a country market, so it will not disturb the normal lives of the owners of the houses around the square.
"I really found it, Luvia, do you think I like to joke?"
Shade asked, inviting the female fortune teller with short brown hair to come in and talk.
But when Luvia walked up the stairs, he went into the basement and picked up the gift box from God.
The tea had been prepared in advance. After sitting on the sofa, Xia De reached out and took out the bag of coins and a universal currency:
"Look, this is the universal currency. There are ten coins in this dirty little bag. Some of them must be blood money, but what the others are, I can't be sure."
He placed the small bag tied with a straw rope on the coffee table, then held his curious cat to prevent it from pouncing over.
Luvia carefully picked up the bag and shook it a few times, with an expression of awe on her face:
"You actually did it. It's only been two days since the exam ended on Saturday. What on earth did you encounter?"
"Well... that's hard to say, but before you examine the coin, I have something very important to tell you."
"What?"
Luvia looked at Shade curiously, and Shade lowered his voice:
"I have some news about the second chosen one."
The big witches of the Witch Council have a special way of sharing information, and Miss Carina told Shade almost immediately after she received the information in the morning and went to the city to do business in the afternoon.
Therefore, Luvia had not heard any new news from the New World. After getting the information from Shad, she even doubted whether his information was correct.
"Miss Carina said so."
"Witch Council? That should be correct... I didn't expect you to be able to get information from the witches. What price did you pay this time?"
Seeing that Shade couldn't think of an answer for the time being, Luvia didn't continue asking:
"Shad, you really have done a lot for us... In this case, we must use divination to determine the other party's specific identity. We are in Tobesk, but the other party's activities are on the west coast of the Old World. We can't even go to find him in person."
"I want to ask a question. Can I directly know the other person's appearance and name by paying a price for divination?"
Shade asked, but Luvia shook her head:
"Of course not. The destiny of the chosen ones is special. I can only obtain certain information about them and then look for them based on that information. For example, when I first started looking for Iluna, I knew she was a woman, a believer of the sun god, and that she would arrive in Tobesk at a certain time. I used these clues to try my luck at the entrance of the Sun Church, and was able to confirm the identity of Iluna Beas three weeks before the doctor met you."
"If that's the case..."
Although Luvia could not directly give the other party's name, searching based on partial information was enough for Xia De to rule out some people.
He raised his head and said seriously:
"Actually, I have a rough idea of what the so-called 'pirate' incident is."
"Um?"
The female fortune teller frowned.
"Besides, I was on that ship at the time. It was about 22 hours ago, on a cruise ship outside Coldwater Harbor, at a small auction for ring sorcerers. There were more than a dozen ring sorcerers present at the time. Those who escaped from the Fishbone Pirate Ship alive were all infected with a curse similar to the Mermaid's Song."
"Um?"
She looked at Xia De with doubt:
"You? Coldwater Harbor?"
Pointing her finger to the west, she probably didn't fully understand what Shade said. After all, even if she took a steam-powered airship that had not yet been put into commercial use, it would be impossible to travel back and forth between Coldwater Port and Tobesk in 22 hours.
"Yes, it's very complicated. Why don't I take you to see it?"
As he spoke, Xia De stood up holding Mia.
"Where are you going?"
Luvia asked suspiciously, also standing up.
"Go to the basement. There are things in the basement that I want to show you. Speaking of which, you are the first person to know this secret. I originally planned not to tell anyone."
As they were talking, the two of them came down from the second floor to the first floor, and then from the first floor into the basement.
Because no one had yet to install the gas pipeline, there was no light in the basement. Shade pointed his finger to illuminate and led Luvia to the wall facing the stairs.
The female fortune teller looked around curiously. She had visited Shade so many times, but this was her first time here.
"Are you saying there is space behind this wall?"
He looked at the wall in front of him with the light from Xia De's fingertips, then reached out to touch it, but he couldn't feel anything.
"Luvia, you know the original history of this house. The church spent a hundred years and still didn't find anything strange about it. I think unless you use your special divination, you won't be able to know the secrets here."
Xia De is very confident about this.
"It took the church 100 years to discover it, but you discovered it right after you moved in."
The female fortune teller said in a low voice, and then saw Xia De summon the life ring:
"Attention, you can look around as much as you want after you enter, but don't leave the wall."
This was the experience Shad gained during his first rash expedition. At that time, Mia was also brought in by Shad, but the cat squatted by the wall obediently and nothing happened. The "souvenir" brought back last time died immediately after Shad grabbed it and brought it close to the statue.
"Can you tell me what's behind the wall first? So I can be mentally prepared?"
Luvia asked, and then saw the time and space spirit runes flashing. After the spiritual light shone on the wall in front of her, the wall disappeared like a phantom, revealing a long and narrow dark passage.
The female fortune teller raised her eyebrows:
"For example, is there actually some underground ruins behind this, or is it inhabited by ancient beings who have lived for hundreds of years, or is it just a cell where you imprison pure girls?"
Because the two parties were very familiar with each other, the joke Luvia made at this time was not inappropriate.
"Don't think too much. There's just a small circular space behind it with a statue in the center. Please note that you can look at the statue, but you absolutely, absolutely do not approach it!"
Shade emphasized it again, then walked in first with the cat in his arms, followed closely by Luvia.
As Shad's eyes fixed on the statue of the Ancient God - Original Rift, the statue emitted a very soft light.
The light illuminated Shad and the cat, who were already familiar with this, and also illuminated Luvia Annette who was following closely behind.
"Oh, my God!"
Because of the card face of the founding series Rhodes card, Luvia recognized what it was at once.
She took a step back in panic, and because the hidden wall had returned to normal, she leaned against it directly:
"Ancient God! The statue of the original rift!"
"Yes, that's it."
Shade stuffed the cat into Luvia's arms, and slowly approached the statue amid the cat's dissatisfied cries. Under Luvia's gaze, Shade disappeared after touching the statue and chanting the spell. After two or three seconds, he reappeared.
"How dare you live here?"
Luvia said in horror.
"It's safe here, and to prevent myself from being affected, you see, I have not used the first floor of the house."
Shade said easily. Luvia looked at the statue and then at Shade, and really didn't know what to say.
