Chapter 1909 The pursuit of wisdom and demonologists
"Do you know anything else? Your rebellion against your ancestors is definitely not a new idea. What preparations did you make before the 'God Caller' explicitly intervened in this matter?"
Shade then asked, after all, the appearance of the "Godcaller" happened last summer, and according to a few words from Maria Edwards, Nadia Foran had this idea more than ten years ago.
"I won't tell you my cards."
"So what is your trump card targeting? In your opinion, what is the most threatening thing to your ancestor? Weapons? Relics? Helpers? Or is it a power that I don't understand?"
"The eyes that see through destiny."
Nadia Foran answered firmly:
"The ancestor has always predicted the fate of all members of the family. Although he cannot know everything about what will happen in the future, he has already seen the direction of the torrent of fate. If we want to be rescued, it is important to have the power to defeat him, but
What is more important is to escape the fate he divined. This requires more than the [Remains of the Defiled One] housed by the Church of Creation, the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] housed by St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and the [Organ of Doom] housed by the Seer Association.
And a powerful relic that interferes with destiny.”
She paused to give Shade time to think:
"This is the most important reminder I give you: when fighting your ancestors, you must carry relics that interfere with destiny. Otherwise, he will be able to predict every attack you make against him in advance."
Shade frowned:
"The three relics you mentioned are all famous Keeper-level (Level 3) relics. The relics that interfere with fate at higher levels all have reasons why they cannot be used casually."
"There are rumors that the Prophet Association recently discovered a level 0 destiny 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%."
The woman said, although Shade was used to hearing Edwards' fear and admiration for the fortune teller, he still couldn't help but ask:
"So you think that even if you gave me important information, our current winning rate is still less than half?"
"Twenty percent at most. Although you are very strong, your ancestors have planned it for two hundred years, and it is definitely not something you can deal with in two months. According to rumors, you are also a ring warlock who is good at space power. Then you should
Understand, it is even possible that you will not be able to see the ancestors who deliberately avoided you in the end. I never like to leave my future to fate, but at the family dinner on Wednesday, we can only see whether fate favors us."
The sound of footsteps came up the stairs, and the waiter brought Nadia Foran's rum on a tray.
She drank the drink in one gulp, then stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, it was less than ten minutes before she sat down:
"That's all I have to say. I hope to see you at the banquet on Wednesday."
"Please wait a moment, I have one last question."
Shade stopped her:
"Do you know what deal the [Truth Society] is making with your ancestors? What do they want from the Edwards family?"
The woman sat down again, thought for a moment and then answered:
"I also want you to answer me a question: Do you have a relationship with a member of your family that goes beyond friendship?"
"What is the purpose of this question?"
Shade 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 Foran did not ask Shad to produce evidence:
"The Truth Society is not specifically seeking information on how to refine the human body, nor is it asking the ancestors to divine for them. They want the 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.
Research on the birth of the soul. Perhaps they are thinking about the original origin of the soul. The research of the Truth Society is always so weird but creative."
"Soul. Soul research is strictly forbidden in the Sixth Age."
"Yes, but this part is indispensable for the refinement of the human body. The demons summoned and cooperated by the ancestors also provided him with sufficient information. Although the ancestors' research focus was not on these, the [Truth Society] cares about these contents. It also benefited from
The cooperation with the [Truth Society] changed the direction and promoted the progress of the ancestors in the direction of human body refinement."
"What does the Truth Society want to do?"
Shade thought in his mind, and Nadia Foran had already stood up. She walked directly to the stairs without saying goodbye to Shade. Hearing her unique heartbeat, Shade went to the first floor, and then left the tavern until he disappeared.
Amidst the rumbling rain.
Shade did not stay here for long. Shortly after Nadia Fallen left, he also broke into the rain again holding an umbrella.
Thinking about this new information in his mind, he hurriedly left the slum along the alley, found a taxi at the street corner, and let the carriage move towards the dock on the Duin River in the city.
In order not to disturb this private meeting, Shade did not even ask Megan to arrange a carriage to take him back. Instead, he asked the boat to wait for him on the river and take him back to the cruise ship. Shade did not talk to the coachman along the way.
After getting off the carriage, I held an umbrella and walked down the steps at the gap along the street along the river to the trestle on the shore.
It's just that he originally asked the boat to come back after ten o'clock to prevent the boat from being suspected by being docked for too long. But now it was only half past nine, and the meeting with the cultists was too fast, so he had to wait for another half hour.
But this is good, Shade also has time to think in the rain under an umbrella, turn the newly acquired intelligence into a response plan, and add it to the action plan for Wednesday night.
There is still no progress on how to land on the island with Megan and Audrey, but it seems necessary for Shade to find another relic that can interfere with divination in addition to the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] to carry with him. His destiny is difficult to be determined by others.
People do divination, but if the soothsayer only relies on strong inspiration to sense his next move in battle, then no specific divination behavior is involved.
"The cards are his means of resurrection"
This is also something that needs to be noted. Regardless of whether this information was deliberately released by Laplace Klein Howard, the set of cards does need to be contained or destroyed in advance.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Although I originally wanted to stand here and wait, the umbrella could not stop the raindrops blown by the wind. Shade thought about what was in his heart, turned around and climbed the steps back to the road along the lake, thinking
Find a place nearby to take shelter from the rain.
One side of the street is the Duin River, and the other side is filled with two-story low-rise buildings. Because it is adjacent to a slum, the streetscape and the walls outside the houses look quite bad in the rain. There is no pub on this street, so Shade plans to find one.
Take shelter from the rain eaves for a while.
Although there were gas street lights on the street, they were quite far apart. Shade could only rely on his dark vision to scan the nearby street scene, and landed on the signboard of "Jenny's Flower Shop".
The building of the flower shop is exactly the same as the buildings on both sides. Just to make it easier for flowers and plants to have a place to bask in the sun, the owner of the flower shop built a small terrace on the outside of the second floor of the flower shop, facing the street.
This meant that there was a rain shelter on the first floor formed by a terrace that faced the street, so Shade walked over.
The flower shop had long been closed, and the withered roses displayed inside could be seen through the dirty windows. However, there were no traces of elements nearby, and Shade didn't expect to encounter relics casually, so he didn't take it to heart.
There was a round table and chairs fixed on the ground at the entrance of the flower shop, which seemed to be part of the decoration of the flower shop owner. Shade put away his umbrella and stood by the wall, then sat down at the table and took out a candle
Standing on the table, I watched the splashing water curtain slide from the edge of the terrace above my head, and then 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 arrival of the ship, and stared at the street scene of Green Lake City in the rain. He sighed in his heart that this city was destined to be recorded in the history books, but he suddenly saw another support pole from the intersection.
The figure of a man wearing a black umbrella came out of the rain.
Shade heard the whistle and saw the other person staggering deliberately as he walked. When the figure gradually approached, he saw the specific image of the other person.
The top of his head is very bald, leaving only hairy stubble. His skin is dark, and his eyes have extremely severe double eyelids. He is wrapped in an unusual brown old-fashioned robe that is often worn by people in desert areas, but the clothes
At least it looks quite warm on a rainy night.
As for his feet, he wore a pair of brown boots that looked like laces and leather buckles. But those boots were also very worn, which made this person look like he did not come from the upper class.
Shade stood up and looked at the "demon scholar" Mr. Sean Asmon, who appeared in this rainy night. The black eyes under the scholar's umbrella raised slightly, cautiously but with a slightly cold smile, and glanced towards
He walked under the flower shop, which was obviously suitable for shelter from the rain, and then in the light of the candles on the table, he saw Sha 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 walking, stepping on the water with his boots on the road and walking towards this side, with his usual expression on his face.
A weird smile with the corners of the mouth turned upward.
The umbrella was folded under the flower shop terrace, and the weird Delarian language that belonged to Sean Asmon was spoken:
"Mr. Watson, Mr. Watson, we always meet in unexpected situations. It's been a long time since we said goodbye in Randall Valley."
The rain was pouring, and although he had long thought that he would most likely meet this gentleman unexpectedly in the Green Lake area, Shade did not expect that this meeting would be in such an environment.
The two shook hands with each other, but the scholar's hands were still rough.
Shade waited a moment——
【No element traces.】
Only then did he feel relieved.
