There was a sound of opening the door behind the shutter, and after waiting for half an hour, the other party came back, and passed a book through the hole in the wall. The title of the book was "You Can Too: Simple Cooking of Mutton Stew".

This cookbook is very thick but very light. After opening it, it was discovered that the inside had been hollowed out, and it contained specific information and materials for thaumaturgy learning. Xia De carefully checked under the light that there is no problem, and then he got up and prepared to leave.

But the man behind the wooden screen stopped him again:

"Since this is the first time I've come to the library, do you know what happened at Lakeview Manor last weekend?"

Xia De was startled, but remained calm on the surface:

"I heard, I heard that the masked man under the silver moon kicked down half of the mansion in Lake View Manor under the moon."

He purposely stated wrong information, and sure enough, he was corrected:

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with your news. What I heard is that half of the Schluchsee was evaporated by that man's foot."

Speaking of more problematic information, the man said to Xia De:

"This is your first time here, so you probably don't know that we also receive information here. Now information about that person is very valuable. If you have certain information, you can consider selling it to us."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."

Xia De said that he was about to leave in a hurry, and he didn't want to talk about this topic with others.

Exit is not through the door you came in, but continue along the corridor and leave through the back door hidden in the alley on the other side of the library.

Xia De deliberately circled around the intricate alleys nearby a few times, making full use of the thicker choking gray fog today, and after confirming that no one was following him, he took off his vest, put on his coat, took off his mask and returned to the main building. on the way.

I wasted some time at the Black Raven Library, but the summer days are so long that the setting sun is only just emerging from the western horizon at this time.

Shad merged into the crowd of the street, and after the carriage galloped across the street, he crossed from one side of the street to the other, turned in front of the mailbox, walked along the low wall of the street, and walked forward together with two rusty pipes.

"So, the spirit runes devoured from the old gods are not the same as ordinary runes?"

he thought to himself.

【Yes. 】

Stopped at the intersection ahead, looked around, and hesitated which way to go home. In the hazy mist, housewives in long skirts and lace hats hurried past him, and uniformed police officers looked around from the other side of the intersection.

Xia De asked in his heart:

"That is to say, if I contact the old gods and devour their power, not only can I obtain divinity, but I can also obtain powerful spiritual runes? Interesting, it is tempting me to contact evil gods again."

[This is not me tempting you, this is the truth. 】

"I know."

He chose the one on the right. Although the road on the left would be closer, he had never taken the road on the right and wanted to try it out.

After making a decision, he stepped forward, and the small building where the office of the printing factory next to him caught his attention for a few seconds, and a batch of Detective Hamilton's business cards were also printed:

"Speaking of which, what is the way to devour the power of a god? I can probably understand that it is necessary to take the initiative to contact the god. But is it all right?"

This is the most important question, and it should have been asked earlier, but things haven't stopped at all after waking up.

[It's very simple, just repeat the situation that night, it has no necessary connection with the vampiric ring itself. You just need to find a way, relics like the blood-sucking ring can absorb the power of God, even if only for a moment, can reproduce the scene of that night. Of course, this is also what divine knowledge tells me. 】

"And you'll show up?"

He thought of the soft body that appeared behind him that night when he was dying, and he missed that feeling very much.

He didn't get an answer, nor was he reprimanded for impolite imagination, the woman just chuckled, and that laughter made Xia De relax:

"But it doesn't matter. I already have the divinity to wash away the rune of the language of sublimation in the first ring, and I won't waste it. So, at least until the second ring, I don't need the next drop of divinity. It will probably take several years."

The woman didn't answer, and when Xia De disappeared at the intersection against the mist, she was still chuckling in his ear.

He didn't return to Saint Teresa Square immediately, because of the reminder given by the "other me", in the glow of the setting sun, Xia De went to Old John's **** shop.

Even if the city is foggy, the tragic sunset in summer can still cast fiery red colors through the shop windows and onto the floor. The door bell rang, but at this time there were other customers in the **** shop, a middle-aged lady wearing a lace hat at one side, talking with Old John at the counter.

The shop owner of the **** shop gave Xia De a look, telling him not to lean over first, so after confirming that the woman was just an ordinary person, Xia De didn't care, but wandered casually in the **** shop, and put a became intrigued by the prototype of the Mark IX, the dusty steam engine of the United States.

"Why, are you interested in this? I can sell it to you cheaper."

After the woman stepped on her high heels and left contentedly~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Old John said to Xia De, Xia De shook his head:

"What do I want this thing for? I don't run a museum. Speaking of which, you have quite a lot of weird things here."

He came to the counter.

Out of politeness, Shad did not use the more appropriate term "garbage dump" to describe this place.

"I run a **** shop. As long as it's not real garbage, I'll take it even if it's just a torn quilt."

The old man was a little proud when he talked about this incident. He took off the pair of reading glasses and closed the ledger.

Xia De looked at him with a little surprise:

"May I inquire why this is? Such a business can't make money, can it?"

A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he waited for Xia De to ask:

"What do you take me for? A miser who thinks only of gold pounds? Well then, detective, I'll ask a question. What can you see in this pile?"

He pointed to the strange pawns placed in the store, many of which were really valuable, such as the cane Shade pawned last time, but most of them were just ordinary things.

"see......"

He thought hesitantly.

"If you guessed my idea correctly, I will give you a 50% discount on this business."

The old man John encouraged, and Xia De immediately regained his energy. But it is not easy to guess this kind of open question correctly. After thinking for a while, I couldn't find the exact answer, so I can only give a relatively large answer:

"Society and life?"

Old John laughed:

"It's close, but no, it's civilization."

Xia De originally thought that his answer was exaggerated, but he didn't expect him to be even more exaggerated.
