The witch's chef cooked dinner, which included the bear that Shade had killed in the Sikar Mountains. Even Mia got some. And there were no other problems in the relic transaction that night.
The doctor really had more face. The head of the correspondence ring magician team of the Zaras Academy of Arts in Tobysk, Mr. Neil Young, who looked to be in his thirties, was a very talkative person and had already thought through the details of the transaction.
After a brief negotiation, the two parties finally completed the transaction of the Corpse Mirror and the Traveler's Door with Shad receiving 102 pounds in compensation.
In order to bring the heavy door with a metal base home, Shad had to rent a carriage at a high price. The doctor drove the carriage to deliver the door to No. 6 Saint Teresa's Square. Then he called Luvia, who was doing astrologer work on the third floor, to help move the door upstairs.
In view of the purpose of this door, Xia De did not put it in the basement, but placed it in the temporarily vacant Room 2 on the second floor. In this way, the number of special "doors" in Xia De's house increased to three. Although the traveler's travel door cannot be compared with the two doors in the basement, at least this door can be used by everyone.
In order to celebrate his acquisition of this door and prevent it from becoming a decoration, Shad invited Luvia, who slept on the first floor, to experience the function of this door early on Tuesday morning.
The purple-eyed girl had not been in a good mood since last week due to special physiological reasons, but when she heard that she could go to Midhill Castle to take a look, she readily agreed to Shade's proposal at the dinner table.
So after breakfast, Shade took the key to the traveler's door and went to Midhill Castle. After jumping from the basement to the first floor of the abandoned tower, he walked out of the abandoned tower and went around the back of the tower, and came to a cliff that overlooked half of Midhill Castle.
She took out the key, turned it clockwise twice and counterclockwise twice, and as the door appeared, the girl with short brown hair carefully stretched her head to look, then walked out through the door frame.
She took a deep breath to feel the fresh mountain air, then stood shoulder to shoulder with Shade in the woods, looking down the mountain towards the city of Midhill Castle spreading out in the distance:
"Is this the place? I haven't left Tobesk for a long time. The air in the mountains is really good."
Or maybe the air in Tobesk is really bad.
“Can you feel anything here?”
Shade asked curiously, as a fortune teller, Luvia's inspiration was very powerful.
“It’s hard to describe the feeling, specifically…”
She didn't continue, because Xia De suddenly frowned:
"Luvia, please wait, something on my body is vibrating, there is a demon nearby... No, the pendant on my chest should be hot, it's the thing in my pocket that is vibrating."
He reached into his pocket, and the thing that was vibrating was actually the red blood money. Xia De immediately looked around:
"Blood money resonance! There are other blood money nearby! But how could this happen? What's going on? Every time I come to Midhill Castle, I will stand here and take a look at the city, but why is it only this time... Moreover, I have appeared in this city so many times and have never encountered blood money resonance. How come this happened as soon as you appeared, Luvia?"
Luvia smiled but didn't say anything. The two waited for a while and found that the vibration frequency of the blood money did not change at all. This meant that the blood money of another pirate not far away had not moved.
"What's going on? After appearing so suddenly, he stopped moving."
"Shad, my time is up."
The purple-eyed girl reminded:
"Iluna said that the recent earthquake caused the evil spirits near Mount Xikar to strengthen across the board. At the same time, the probability of relics appearing increased. The pirate's blood money itself will not move. Maybe it was brought here by something else, just like the pirate ship you encountered in Coldwater Harbor."
"I understand. You should leave first. There is not enough time."
Luvia nodded and stepped over the threshold again. Shade picked up the fallen key, returned home through the hidden wall of the basement of the abandoned tower, and inserted the key that could not be left unlocked for a long time.
"I'm going to investigate the matter of the other blood money."
Luvia didn't say anything to stop Shade, after all, this was something that had to be done:
"You just need to find out what's going on there. If you can't handle it, aren't there helpers in the city at the foot of the mountain? Those witches."
Xia De nodded, still unable to figure out how the blood money suddenly ended up on the mountain:
"I have the sword with me, and I will go down the mountain to find Granny Cassandra to identify the relic, so please help me take care of Mia today."
"I won't be here tonight to read the stars, but I will come and help you feed the cats tonight."
The girl with purple eyes said:
"Iluna should be able to arrive at Midhill Castle today. You can go with her to look for the blood money."
"I see."
Xia De kissed her on the cheek:
"Well, wish me luck."
Still wrapping the sharp silver sword with a bed sheet, Shade came to Midhill Castle from the basement again. After walking out of the hidden space affected by the power of the ancient gods, the blood money immediately vibrated again.
Currently, this blood money is in an inactivated state. The fact that it can vibrate indicates that the location of the other blood money should be quite close to here.
"What could it be?"
Relying on the strength of the vibration frequency, he tracked the whereabouts of the blood money in the mountains and forests. In fact, the destination was not far from the abandoned tower. Xia De only walked towards the mountain for less than 20 minutes, and in the dense forest with falling leaves, he saw the open space and the mansion on the open space.
Outsider, you touched the whisper.
The building was surrounded by an iron fence with black spikes on top. Inside the fence was a three-story building with white walls. Its area was about five or six times that of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square. From the gate of the fence, a path paved with gravel led to the far side of the forest. It seemed to be in the direction of the main road into the mountain.
"A location-type relic..."
Having seen the sand table of Mount Xikar at the Red Water Camp not long ago, Xia De was very sure that there should be no such mansion as that used by the nobles for vacation nearby.
He stood in the forest and did not dare to approach, but chose to walk around the flat open space in the dense forest. He found the stables, wells and a small flower garden behind the mansion within the fence. This building looked a bit old, and there was nothing unusual about it from the outside.
When Xia De walked around to the woods near the gravel path, a strong urge forced him to walk out of the woods and onto the path. Fortunately, this urge was similar to the desire to straighten out a book that was crooked when it was neatly arranged, but it was not unacceptable.
He stood in the woods, squinting at the gate. The black gate was twisted in the door frame with intricate ironwork, making it look like tangled vines.
At the top of the gate, the dark metal twisted together to form a string of letters that looked like a black snake:
"The Mansion of Sin? This kind of writing..."
He patted his head, looking at the letters made him feel dizzy:
"Well, it is indeed a location-type relic."
Shade noted the location and then went down the mountain. Just like Luvia said, he had no reason to go in alone now.
