Seeing the doctor teasing his house again, Xia De raised his eyebrows:
"They left by train, and the college arranged for accompanying teachers to protect them secretly. Even if it is really safe here, but you will encounter other things after leaving Tobesk, don't worry too much. With the consent of the college, this matter must be
Inform our local church. My friends in the church are already writing an investigation report, which will probably be handed in today. I still have those things from the [Church of Doom], doctor, do you want to take a look?"
After saying that, he got up and went to the study, taking out the "withered yellow leaf bookmark", "the evil god's emblem that appeared after the metal dice was crushed" and "the ghost bone tree derivative silver-plated brooch" and gave them to the doctor.
Doctor Schneider was not very familiar with the [Order of Doom], and had only heard of the Keeper-level relic [Ghost Bone Tree], so he did not touch the latter two items immediately, but picked up the dead leaf suspiciously
After sniffing it, he asked Xia De seriously:
"The order in which the elf lady obtained the three items is."
"Bookmarks, dice, and silver-plated brooches. After interrogation by the academy, the cultists have admitted that the bookmarks and dice are tokens of misfortune they gave to Emilia, but usually they only give one token, and this time they gave it to Emilia.
The two things are quite strange. The academy is still investigating this matter, and it is currently suspected that they are focusing on Emilia."
Shad said:
"And although there are blasphemous elements on the leaf, there is no symbol of the cult, which is also very strange. However, the two prisoners insisted that the leaf was given by them. The investigation is still continuing, but it involves the symbol of the evil god, and the divination is wrong.
The probability is very high, and the academy cannot directly ask other companions of those cultists."
"This leaf was definitely not given by the cultists. They should have only given them dice. Their memories have been modified."
The doctor came to the conclusion with certainty. Shade frowned in confusion, and then hugged the cat tightly in his arms:
"Wait, you didn't want to say that."
The blue-eyed psychiatrist nodded:
"Yes, there is a devilish smell on this leaf."
Shade took a breath, but didn't notice that the cat in his arms imitated his movements and took a breath with great interest.
"Wait a minute - see the demon, yes, I tried it, but there is no demonic power in it."
"If thaumaturgy-seeing demons can detect all traces of demons, how could the Third Age civilization with its demon hunters almost collapse because of those evil spirits?"
The doctor asked seriously, sitting on the sofa and placing the leaf in front of his eyes:
"And this time the opponent is very cautious, yes, very cautious."
He gradually lowered his voice, and in the end it was almost like whispering:
"Who will it be this time? Oh, it turns out to be that guy, so this weird series of things can be explained. He is so cautious, and he also knows how to let the cultists stand in front of him to cover himself. Except for me and a few
Man, probably not many people in this era can guess who is behind it just by looking at this leaf."
"Doctor, who is your opponent this time?"
Shade asked just right, then looked at him with blue eyes, half worried and half excited:
"The Demon of Doom - Fanarius. Its footprints can be found throughout the history of human civilization, and its birth can even be traced back to the beginning before the Third Age. This is one of the oldest demons and a demon that has never been sealed.
.Even the demon hunters of the Third Age only left records of it, but no one has ever defeated it head-on."
"Older than any demon we've encountered in the past?"
Shade asked again. The doctor thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"Before I met you, I had swallowed five demons on my own: 1837 - Parallax Demon - Corseni, 1841 - Immortal Demon - Khabar, 1845 - Venomous Spider Demon - Sergei, 1847
- Terror Bug - Julwinter, 1850 - Brain Eater - Byrne Gurrens, these five ancient demons who really have no bad luck.
But after you joined our group, we encountered the summer of 1853 - Tobesk - Human Pussy, the autumn of 1853 - Fort Midhill - the arsonist - Sokofis, the winter of 1853 - Tobesk - the desire to proliferate
The Demon of Panny, Winter of 1854 - Randall Valley - The Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe, Spring of 1854 - Green Lake - The Demon of the Labyrinth - In Yalu, the pus of man is as ancient as the demon of doom."
This is not good news, because in fact it was not Shade who defeated "Human Pus", it was Miss Feliana who took action at that time.
"So how strong is this thing?"
Shade asked again, very worried about Amelia at this time.
"Strong? No, it does not rely on its own strength. It is a part of destiny. It can even be said that it is something that the concept of 'bad luck' in destiny is condensed due to the malice of the world."
The doctor is very serious:
"This kind of existence is far beyond our understanding. Being targeted by this kind of demon is actually no different from being targeted by a natural phenomenon."
"Can't a unicorn break this demonic curse?"
Shade asked, and the doctor shook his head:
"No, it must take the initiative to break the curse. Please listen to me. The real body of Fanarius, the demon of misfortune, is a pitch-black crow. Teleportation, time suspension, and memory manipulation are just this kind of ancient being.
The most basic ability, haven’t you seen the stone mirror demon Goethe suspending time? No one has seen Fanarius fighting with all his strength, because no one cursed by doom can come to it alive. We must take action as soon as possible
, otherwise the elf lady will not survive this summer even if she is called back to live with you."
"Isn't it okay to ask her to return to the academy immediately? There are at least two thirteen-ring warlocks in the academy."
"But the principal and the librarian cannot protect her for a lifetime. But the entanglement of bad luck can accompany her for a lifetime. This matter can only be solved by us, yes, only us."
Hearing what the doctor said, Shade knew that even though he had been preparing for it for so long, he still had a way to deal with the devil:
"What needs to be done?"
"Since it is so powerful, we cannot give it a chance to take action. Our only advantage now is that it really deceived everyone's eyes, and I only noticed it after the elf left here, so it must not
You may have noticed me. We are in the dark and have only one chance to take action. This time, we have to become the most cautious hunters in the dark forest. Before taking action, not even the sound of the beating heart can be heard."
The doctor could see that Shade cared about the elf girl very much, and as a victim of the demonic incident, he would never allow the demon to harm other people:
"I need time to prepare something that can kill it with one strike. It will take about a week or more. Shade, during this period you also have a mission to send the elf girl to a place with a chaotic destiny. Only in this way can we take action.
before being discovered by it.”
"Where is it specifically? Do you need Luvia to help with divination?"
Shade asked while holding the cat. He originally planned to call Emilia back directly.
The doctor shook his head:
"It's not that troublesome. It's just the places you often go to where big things are going to happen. I'm not a fortune teller like Anat, but I can also see some arcs of fate from my experiences again and again."
Shade nodded clearly:
"That's Moon Bay City. Doctor, I'm going to find a way to get Emilia to go to Moon Bay. But will you do it yourself this time, or will I hold the weapon you prepared?"
Dr. Schneider thought about it:
"To be on the safe side, I'll do it. I know you are strong, but this situation is special. We only have one chance, and once it is alerted, it will never have a chance again.
This matter must be acted upon immediately. I will go back and prepare now. I will inform you if there is any news. Yuewan is too far away from here. This time I have to move through space. Fortunately, after returning from Green Lake, I knew that such a day would come again.
, you don’t need to do this. Father John has been helping me keep an eye out for similar relics. Remember to appease the elf girl, but don’t reveal anything about the devil in advance.”
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Sha De:
"Doctor, what should I do with Emilia? Is there a way to protect her without alerting the demon?"
The doctor patted his head:
"I was so nervous that I almost forgot about it. I think the [Demon Hunting Seal] can slow down the onset of bad luck, but we can't take it out before we do it, otherwise the demon will be suspicious of what you just said
Did you mention unicorns?"
"Yes."
Shade nodded, and the doctor suggested:
"If you have the ability to let the elf girl live with the unicorn, you can also slow down the curse. In addition, you can let her live in a church. The miraculous power of a large parish church like Tobesk also has
It can suppress the curse of doom. If the civilization and faith of the Third Age were as prosperous as ours now, maybe the demon hunters at that time would be able to defeat the demon with the help of the church."
The doctor left quickly, and before leaving, he took away some fine gold and orichalcum from Shade to make the weapons he was going to prepare. Those metals were gifts given to the "Godcaller" by the church after the Green Lake incident.
.
Because he learned about the devil, Shade was worried and had no intention of setting off to Moon Bay. After bidding farewell to the doctor downstairs, he immediately wrote a letter to Miss Danister and marked this incident.
very urgent.
It only took five minutes for the reply to come through the poem pages, and the note that was delivered only said "now".
So Shade immediately moved chairs and basins to set up the ceremony. Soon, his eyes saw a small office. This was obviously not a school library, but the interior decoration style was similar to what Shade had seen when he was taking elective courses.
It looks like a college classroom.
The students who helped arrange the ceremony said goodbye and left. The thirteen-ring red-haired sorceress sitting on the chair opposite Shade looked at Shade up and down. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was intact and did not look injured:
"I thought you were fine. Shade, what happened this time?"
