Whispering Poems.

Chapter 951 Another Angel

Iluna was much busier than Xia De, so Xia De did not stay at Blackstone Security Company for long, and left soon.

After that, he didn't go home, but took advantage of the time to go out today, and went to visit Priest Augustus at the Church of Dawn.It just so happened that today was Sunday, so the priest took Shad to attend the service, talked about some religious topics with Bishop Owen, and let Shad have lunch in the church at noon.

After lunch, Xia De had time to talk about his own affairs. First of all, he was naturally commissioned by the religious order that entrusted Priest Augustus to investigate the old god [The Uncertain Wise Man]. Then he handed the notebook to the priest. The recipe for "Fire Resistance Potion".Shade has changed the names of materials from the Fifth Epoch to the names of the Sixth Epoch according to the content of [Witch's Reverberation].

Priest Augustus took a look:
"Oh? You copied this from an ancient book?"

"Do you know the formula?"

"Of course, but this is an obsolete formula."

Priest Augustus said that the two chatted in the priest's room in the church, and the priest returned the notebook to Shad.

"It has been eliminated."

Xia De sighed slightly, but he was also quite relieved. This meant that potion science had been developing, and even the formula of the thirteen-ring witch would be eliminated one day.

"Although the details are different, it is indeed the formula. Oh, it is not because the effect is not good. In fact, this is by far the most effective method of configuring fire resistance potions, and it is even called in some books. It is 【Extremely Effective Fire Resistance Potion】. From the perspective of potion science, this formula has almost reached the pinnacle of fire resistance potion."

Priest Augustus said with a sigh.

"Then why were you eliminated?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the priest pointed to the formula on the open notebook:
"Too expensive."

"what?"

"Who invented this recipe is still unclear, but the other party is definitely a great figure in the Fifth Era. The recipe gives full play to the role of each material, and the blending method is extremely delicate. The combination of different materials The reaction and reaction can be called exquisite. But the problem is that this formula is too expensive."

After he paused, he added:

"It's just too expensive."

Xia De showed a clear expression, which was in line with his impression of Miss Violet.The other party is the witch emperor who is in charge of a country. She has amazing knowledge. Even if the formula is improved, she will not worry about the cost of materials.It's just that I didn't expect that this formula is still circulating in the sixth era.

It was originally an improved formula to cope with the test of the gods under mental stress and dangerous environments, but it is still praised by today's ring magicians.Although the witch emperors are extravagant and lustful, their strength and wisdom are indeed in line with their status.

Xia De was thinking about it, when Priest Augustus suddenly frowned and sniffed at Xia De.

Seeing him like this, the cat who was being held by Xia De for a nap squinted his eyes and sniffed.

"Xia De, do you still remember that when I was at the train station this Monday, I smelled a familiar smell on you? I forgot to ask you at Dr. Schneider's place yesterday. How did this smell become stronger than it was on Monday?"

After speaking, he glanced at Shad's cat:
"And your cat also has that familiar smell."

Shad took the cat on a trip to strange places this week, except for the time when he and Sister Devlin visited the Lake of Cherubim.Combined with the last time the priest discovered the smell, it was after he saw the lake of cherubim but failed to climb up, so he raised his eyebrows and immediately knew what priest Augustus smelled.

"Do you know the Lady of the Lake?"

"Xia De, are you talking about the fairy tale of "Water of Wisdom"?"

"No no, this is not a fairy tale, I really encountered it."

Shad and the priest explained their experience in Huntington in detail, and the old priest was quite surprised:
"When you say that, I seem to have some eyebrows. Although I can't be sure, the so-called 'Goddess of the Lake' is very likely to be an angel."

Xia De was not too surprised:

"This should be correct. The other party is not a relic, but it is definitely not a true great person. I am sure of this. If it is an angel, then the explanation makes sense. Priest, do you know which angel the other party is?"

Now in the Sixth Era, the angels of righteous gods will only appear on special occasions. The angels of the old gods have already left with the gods, and the angels of evil gods are even rarer. Therefore, Xia De doesn't know much about angels.

"It should be an ancient who survived from ancient times."

The priest thought for a while and said that he had the power of the "first angel" to kill the angel, and the angel he called "the ancient" must also be related to the ancient gods.

"It's really interesting, there are still such ancient angels in this era."

Priest Augustus made up his mind and said to Shad:

"Let me help you find out who this angel is. Since he calls himself 'Cherub', then this word must have a corresponding meaning. If you can determine the identity of the other party, you may be able to touch it when you accept the test." Knowing what the other person thinks can help you solve troubles faster."

"Priest, don't you want to see that angel?"

Xia De suggested that although priests cannot use the [magician's escape box] that only high-level warlocks can use, as long as they search hard, there is always a way for priests to appear in Huntington City.

Priest Augustus shook his head slightly:
"The other party has been able to survive until now, there must be abnormal means, and it may even be the manifestation of some kind of power, definitely not the main body. We all have our own responsibilities and goals, I still don't want to see him. Besides, I just Mortals who have inherited part of the angelic powers, we are different."

Priest Augustus is worried about the appearance of the ancient angels. In his opinion, the appearance of any ancient one means that something big is about to happen.But he did not prevent Xia De from continuing to contact the "Goddess of the Lake". As long as the angels of the ancient gods are not crazy because of losing control, most of them will not have direct malice towards humans.

"this is for you."

The priest stretched out his hand to Shad, and in the old palm lay a familiar burnt feather:

"The next time you see that lady again, give this feather to him. For the sake of being an angel, he will slightly reduce the difficulty of your trial."

"Is this considered cheating?"

Even so, Shad took the feather and used it to scratch the cat who was taking a nap on the table.Mia squirmed, twisted her body in another direction and lay on her stomach, ignoring Shad at all.

"What kind of cheating is this? You just give the feather to that lady, what he wants to do is his business."

said the priest, waving his hand.

Sunday is the Sunday of the church, and Xia De spent the whole afternoon in the church. After all, he is still the core believer of the Dawn Church in the parish.Although at three o'clock in the afternoon, Priest Augustus was temporarily called away because of something, Xia De still listened to the old priest's sermon in the church with the cat in his arms, and voluntarily participated in speaking to the homeless and the homeless at the door of the church in the evening. Distributing relief food to the homeless.

This made Xia De, who almost received the relief food in summer, feel a lot of emotion.

The so-called relief food is brown bread and dried seasonal vegetables in paper bags, which can be eaten raw or soaked in hot water.And the paper bags for the church to hold food are also good things for the poor. When Shade helped to distribute the food, he heard from the old monk in charge of the delivery that these paper bags could be cut and used as filters for handmade cigarettes, or they could be used as It is an excellent source of fire when it comes down.

Of course, outsiders would not ask silly questions such as "Why do you smoke if you have problems eating?", but he knew that with the arrival of winter, the church would increase the frequency of distribution of relief food.The first snow has arrived, and according to previous years' experience, the city will be covered with snow in at most two weeks.The weather this year is not extreme so far, but even so, many people will not be able to survive this winter.

Outsiders who stand in the flames of civilization can certainly see those who stand in the shadow of civilization.The era of steam is coming like a wave, no matter which side it is, it is part of the era.When he was in his hometown, he heard the saying of "the best and worst times", but for Shad who stands on the ground, what he does now is to reach out to help those he meets.

Chad did not eat supper in the church, said good-bye to Priest Augustus, and returned to the Place Saint Teresa.In the evening, I officially received an invitation from Leiziya, and went to the reading salon held by Leiziya on Wednesday night.The venue is the Prophet Association. Although the Prophet Association generally does not conduct business at night, it can provide services as a club.

As for Rezia's direct invitation to Xia De, it was at the request of Princess Margaret, so this invitation was not abrupt.Shade took the invitation letter and thought about the tasks surrounding Princess Margaret, and then thought about it, wondering if there are really people who want to harm the princess.

"Although the members of the Truth Society seem vicious, Miss Pavo has already stated that she just wants to ask Princess Margaret some questions, and she doesn't want to hurt her. They are also afraid of the church's Inquisition. Therefore, it is possible It is only ordinary people who are a threat to Marguerite Anjou."

Recently, Princess Margaret's itinerary in Tobesk is quite complicated. The princess did not come to Tobesk for travel.The security pressure on MI[-] is very high. Although Xia De is not involved in direct security work, he also knows that the work of his colleagues is not easy.

Xia De, who received the task personally arranged by the king, was the easiest one among them.

In this way came another Monday, the 25th day of the Frost Moon.After waking up early in the morning, Xia De excitedly got out of bed and stretched out his hands to touch the wall, and he really felt the temperature of the wall.

Although the heating method in the hometown of foreigners is unremarkable, it still surprises foreigners to experience steam pipe heating in this era.

Before breakfast, Xia De followed the notice issued by the San Teresa Square block, followed by the sleepy Miya, from the basement to the attic, and confirmed that after the steam heating started this winter, he did not show up. The case of water leakage.

After confirming that the heating started, Xia De even hugged the cat in a good mood, letting the cat's little paws touch the warm part of the wall.

Mia was also very surprised that the walls were heating up. The cat was born in the spring of 1853 and probably had never seen city heating.It stretched out its claws and kept clawing at the wall, as if wanting to know what else was inside the wall, and that appearance made Xia De feel even better.

But his mood will soon turn bad.
