Chapter 2368 Gift from the Ocean
"But I just want to use this coin for divination. Counting this one, I have six special coins in my hand. It's really good. Speaking of which, if this coin is used in the Yuewan area, I don't know what will happen. ."
After coming out of the black market, it was already past eleven o'clock. Thinking that there would be nothing more to gain in Coldwater Port, Shade was too lazy to go to the beach to find trouble with those smelly fishmen that occasionally appeared, so he finally went to the "Pink Rose Hotel" in the deep alley of the dock slum area.
This is the place where Shade first met the "demon scholar" Mr. Sean Asmon. It was also here that Shade listened to the beginning of the demon story, and won the Suit Moon 9 [Devil Soul Stealer] by playing cards. Bishop].
In the wet weather, even the hotel seemed wet. The light inside was not good, so the stingy shopkeeper lit kerosene lamps on the tables where customers were staying.
On Saturday morning, there were not many people in the tavern on the first floor of the hotel. In addition to the guests, there were a few seductively dressed women sitting in the corner waiting for the guests.
Shad sat down at the table against the wall where he had played cards with the demonologist. After ordering a glass of rum that he didn’t intend to drink, he planned to sit down at 11:40 and then go home for dinner, but he didn’t. Thinking that something unexpected was really waiting for him in this hotel.
After he sat down, he unfolded that day's "Daily Daily" and wanted to see if there was anything interesting in the advertisements on the back page. But before he could finish reading the second advertisement for "Lapp Tobacco Company Lemon Flavored Cigarettes," someone took the initiative to sit across from him.
Shad peeked his head out from behind the newspaper and saw that it was a strange man wearing a black hat, and he was just an ordinary person. The latter seemed to be afraid of the light, with a hat covering less than half of his face, and a cloth mask on his face. His whole body was wrapped in thick black clothes, and his hands with exposed cuffs were wrapped with yellowish bandages.
"You are."
Shad raised his eyebrows, and the stranger lifted his dirty black suitcase on the table, and then took out a dirty gray cloth bag. The bag was tied with a rope. He loosened the tie and pushed the bag to Shade:
"Businessman, businessman of the lottery game. Three pounds, choose one of the three prizes in the bag."
Xia De twitched his nose and could clearly smell the stinky smell that belonged exclusively to the ocean. If he met such a person elsewhere, he would immediately identify him as a liar. Three pounds is not a small amount, but now
"Okay, I like lottery games."
He took out three 1-pound coins from his pocket, and the man across the table casually swept them into his coat pocket.
Xia De stared at the pocket in front of him again, thinking for a moment before putting his hand in it. The size of the space in the bag was normal, and what Shade touched were three paper **** rolled up in a very simple way.
Because "she" can perceive the outside from any part of Shade's body, theoretically, Shade can use some means to know the contents of the paper ball. But he didn't do this. Instead, he followed his own wishes and took out one of them from the bag:
"This is it."
The stranger across the table motioned for him to open it himself, and the crumpled paper seemed to have been torn randomly from the notebook. After unfolding, there was only a red swirl pattern painted on it, so the person across the table casually patted his suitcase three times with a bandaged hand, and pushed it to Shade:
"It's yours."
After saying that, he stood up and left, not even thinking of taking away the pocket containing the paper ball. Shade didn't think about chasing after him, but looked at the suitcase inquiringly, and then at the pocket:
"What will be on the other two paper balls?"
He satisfied his curiosity with action. After opening the other two paper balls, they revealed a dark blue skull pattern and a brown lightning pattern.
【Do you understand? 】
"She" suddenly asked in Shade's ear, Shade nodded:
"Representing those three people. I think if the paper ball I pulled out is different, the contents of this box will be different."
As he said that, he stuffed the bag, which was really just an ordinary item, into his pocket, then picked up the suitcase and left here, leaving only the untouched wine glass safely placed on the kerosene lamp with a flickering flame. beside.
Of course Shade would not open the suitcase in the tavern. He carried the suitcase and umbrella to a remote part of the slum, threw the glass slippers and returned home.
The umbrella closed with a bang, and before the raindrops splashed onto the beds of the maids, Shade controlled them and flew back.
Little Mia Deng Deng~ The sound of greeting people coming downstairs appeared immediately. Shade touched the badge on his chest and knew that Miss Carina, who went to a meeting this morning, had also returned.
"How was the meeting?"
When I came to the second floor holding little Mia in one hand, the Witch was sitting on the sofa talking to Dorothy. Dorothy moved her body slightly to make way for Shade, allowing Shade to sit between them, so the red-haired witch leaned directly on his shoulder unceremoniously:
"Oh, what else can come of this kind of breakfast meeting? I prepared the meal, the Speaker prepared black tea, and everyone else prepared their own snacks. Grandma Cassandra's snacks are the best every time , She must have a unique secret recipe, and she doesn’t know how much that Miss Rita Swift has learned."
"Just now Carina told me that they didn't come to any conclusion after discussing it all morning. They just used the power of the council to know what kind of skin care products can resist harmful rays."
Dorothy covered her mouth and said with a smile, and the beautiful red-haired duchess also nodded:
"Yes, yes, but this time the Speaker asked if she needed to go to Yuewan to help. Bella said not yet, and if needed, she would directly ask others for help. This time, the Speaker was very generous. The arsenal of the parliament has been opened up, so that the girls involved in the Moon Bay Incident, yes, the witches and witch apprentices are counted, and even Sister Devlin, Miss Eliaser, Grace and Helen who are present at the parliament are counted. "
She seemed to feel it was unfair:
"Megan and Audrey did not claim that they are two people this time, but why didn't I?! Although the best weapon in the open arsenal this time is only the Sage level, I have seen it for a long time I have a beautiful set of jewelry in my arsenal."
"Because you are in Tobesk."
Shadow said with a smile, and Dorothy was also smiling.
"But meeting so early is not just about distributing weapons. There are two things that have come to a conclusion this time. One is the matter of the Keeper-level relic [Star Sword Stone] you mentioned."
She leaned lazily on Shade's shoulder and watched as her maids cleared away the teapots on the coffee table and replaced them with new teapots and fruits:
"The Speaker said that the material of her pocket watch is not a remnant of the Fifth Era, but a product of the Sixth Era. [Star Sword Stone] is most likely in the hands of a small ring warlock organization [Volcano Alliance] , this is a group of ring magicians operating in the Island Kingdom off the western coast of the Old World. It is said to be an order of followers of the Old God - the God of Volcanoes - [Lord of Lava], but this organization is too small and we don't know much about it."
She sat up straight and picked up the newly poured tea cup, but handed it to Sha De:
"Since Bella said that they can still control the situation in Moon Bay, the Speaker and the Great Witch of the Moon set out to find the relic. They can fly, and they also know the approximate location of the [Volcano Alliance], whether it goes smoothly or not All goes well, there will be news in a day or two."
"That's a good idea."
Xia De said, deeply feeling the benefits of having enough manpower:
"What about the second conclusion?"
"Tomorrow, that is, from Sunday afternoon to before nightfall, the sun's light will also have problems. It will still be centered on Yuewan, because the sun's light is much stronger than the moonlight and starlight, so this time it will be in Yuewan Cause some bad effects
This is the result of accurate divination relying on the power of the Council itself. Miss Isabella asked Bella to remind the church. But I think the church should be able to know in advance. After all, they have a large number of divination from the Prophet Association. Home. ”
Shadow frowned slightly, and Dorothy on the side asked again:
"Shad, what's in the suitcase you brought? Why does it smell so fishy? Look at little Mia, it's hiding on the back of the sofa behind you."
"Cats actually hate the smell of fish~"
The witch covered her mouth and chuckled, but she and Dorothy moved the things on the coffee table away, and asked Shade to put the suitcase on the coffee table.
"I just went to Coldwater Port, and a few guys who were unwilling to help sponsored me some good things, but I don't know what they were."
The lock of the box lid opened with two clicks. The good news is that Shade did not feel the divine power. Carina and Dorothy can both see what is inside. The bad news is that there is no divine power inside. , this is what Sha De lacks most when facing the evil **** who is about to come to Moon Bay.
After all, even the most powerful "Unknown Relic (Level 0)" can only slightly restrict the gods at most.
The box was opened, and three items were embedded in the lining: a "ruby", a "square stone" with a cross pattern on the surface, and a blood-red copper whistle.
"Only these three things? You are stingier than I thought, this is"
Xia De picked up the "ruby" that was about a quarter of the size of his fist, and was surprised when his palm touched it:
"Philosopher's Stone? So many?"
The rest of the Philosopher's Stone he got from Laplace Howard and the gifts from the church only amounted to this much.
"But give me the Philosopher's Stone for what? I know the Philosopher's Stone is valuable, but for what follows."
Pause slightly, God has a reason for everything he does. Although Shade thinks those three are very stingy, since they gave it, there must be a reason.
Then his eyes narrowed again:
"Is this really the case?"
