Kraft walked down the steps. Elijah stood up and reached out to hand him back the necklace.

"How?"

"I saw a blonde girl, sitting in a large, beautiful room, looking out the window sadly. Illya's eyes were vacant, as if she was looking far away, and she said slowly, "A richly dressed blonde man walked into the room, and the girl stood up and saluted, and after a moment of conversation between the two men, the girl gave the man the chain. ”

It should be Lena and Crete! But how did Lena meet Crete, and why did she give the necklace to that guy? Kraft was puzzled when he heard this.

"I also saw a village full of birds and flowers, and a river ran through it, and there were people catching fish and washing clothes...... I also saw the imposing palace, and the palace was resplendent in gold...... I think these should be the most impressive things about the owner of the necklace. Elija continued.

Village...... That must be the village of Peso, Kraft thought to himself. But where is the palace? Is it a royal palace?

Kraft listened intently, but Illya stopped abruptly.

"That's all?" said Kraft, dissatisfied.

"With my divination, I can only see so much through my mind...... If I had a crystal ball as a tool, I'm sure I could have more information......" Illya looked at Kraft with pitiful eyes.

Through Illya's narration, Kraft believes that her divination skills are true, and that the characters and scenes she describes are indeed consistent with the real situation, unless she has known the details of Lena beforehand.

But now Kraft wants to know more. He knew that Illya had probably hidden some of the divination information, and was using it as a threat to lure him to help her repair the crystal ball.

Kraft squinted at Ilia with a look revealing "I know your little calculations". Elija responded with a big smile.

The two went to a well-known jewelry store nearby. Lena took the broken crystal ball out of her baggage.

The gray-haired elderly boss held up the crystal ball, squinted his presbyopia, and carefully examined the treasure in front of him.

"It's a great material!" said the boss in his hoarse voice, "I've rarely seen such quality in all my years." ”

"Can it be fixed?" asked Elia.

"Yes, but maybe more," the boss smiled slyly and held out two fingers to figure out the shape of the gold coin.

Elija rolled her eyes. Kraft asked, "How much?"

The boss squinted at the heavy money bag on Kraft's waist and said with a grin, "Ten gold coins will do." ”

Ten gold coins?Kraft was stunned. He was not wealthy since he was a child, and he always maintained a thrifty habit, and he never spent ten gold coins at once in his lifetime.

He looked at Elia. Illya also looked displeased and asked, "How about five gold coins?"

The boss's wrinkled thin face immediately changed color, and said, "Hey, you are such a good material, five gold coins is not enough for my raw material cost!"

In the end, the two sides made a deal at the price of eight gold coins. The boss turned around and walked into the repair room with the crystal ball, and Kraft agreed to come back in the evening to pick up the goods.

"By the way, how did your crystal ball break?" asked Kraft as he walked out of the jewelry store.

Illya didn't answer, just sighed faintly, looking melancholy.

Seeing this, Kraft knew that there must be some story about Illya, so he said, "Why don't we go to the nearby market and have something to eat." ”

This is a way to relax and take the opportunity to set up Illya's details. It's getting late now, and it's too late to investigate Lino today, so it's better to find out on Elia, and it will also help you find Lina, Kraft thought.

In the evening, the market on Hanbingcheng East Street can be described as full of people and lively. The streets are lined with stalls of all shapes, and a variety of goods are dazzling. Some vendors hold their magical goods and show them to passers-by, and every now and then they spew out a ball of flame, which scares passers-by into retreating, and then laughs and applauds.

Kraft and Elia, on the other hand, followed the aroma of barbecue in the air to a barbecue stand.

The two sat down at a small wooden table, and the boss immediately took out a large number of skewers, came to them, and said with a smile: "Good evening, you two!

Looking at the fragrant food, Kraft salivated, he had long since lost count of the last time he had eaten full, and today he decided to make a presumptuous game with Cretan gold coins.

Soon, Kraft was devouring it, and Elija seemed to be very hungry and ate just as quickly. In the blink of an eye, the table was in disarray.

"Boss, get two more bottles of good wine!" cried Kraft, full of food and refreshment.

After getting the wine, Kraft handed Elia a bottle. Illya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Brother Kraft, I can't drink." ”

"Can't you drink it, then you're missing a lot of pleasure!" said Kraft, tilting his head and grunting. Illya looked at Kraft with a happy smile on her face.

After a full meal, Kraft's face turned ruddy and returned to the topic: "What happened this morning? Why are you crying in the corner?"

"I've been living with my father since I was a child. My father owed a lot of debts during his lifetime, and after his death, creditors began to come to collect debts, so I had no choice but to mortgage my house and use the crystal ball left by my father on the street to make a living for divination. Illya said slowly, "This morning, a very unreasonable bully came to divination. I continued to divinate as usual, but the crystal ball showed that he was hunted down and killed in the future. The man was furious, scolded me for talking nonsense, called me a witch, and smashed my crystal ball. It was my father's most precious relic......"

"This man is really unreasonable! It's really bad luck to meet such a person. Kraft expressed sympathy, "Forgive me for presumptuousness, I'm a little curious, how did your father die?"

Ever since Kraft was embroiled in that wrongful conviction, he has been sensitive to things like death. Whenever someone dies, he always wants to find out, and he feels down-to-earth in his heart.

Elia looked at Kraft in surprise, as if she didn't expect Kraft to ask about his father's death.

After a moment of silence, she replied, "A month ago, my father went to his wizarding organization as usual. But that day, after he left in the morning, he never came back. In the days that followed, I searched everywhere and inquired, but found nothing. Until a few days ago, the convoy told me that they had found my father's body in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city...... He was killed......" At this, Elija began to cry.

Kraft handed the handkerchief to Elija, who wiped her eyes.

"So did the murderer catch it?" After learning that it was a murder, Kraft wanted to know the details even more.

Illya shook her head: "Although the escort team claims to do their best to find out the murderer, there is no result so far. And, it seems, other members of the organization that my father was involved in suffered the same bad luck. ”

"Wait a minute, same bad luck, you're saying that there are other members of that group who have also been killed?"

"Hmm...... It is said that they all use the same technique, and they all use swords to pierce the chest......"

"This organization...... What's the name?" Kraft had a hunch that Elija was going to spit out a familiar name.

"It seems to be...... The Soul Society. Elijah thought for a moment and replied.

Sure enough, it must have something to do with what Crete asked me to investigate. The three words of the Soul Crown Society made Kraft associate this incident with Lino.

"Do you know what?" asked Illya, curious.

Kraft was silent, considering whether or not to tell Elija about his mission. Although Crete had warned him not to reveal it to outsiders, Illya in front of him seemed to have a lot to do with it, and her mastery of divination might be of great help to him.

"I'm guessing you're looking into something, too. Elijah said again.

"How do you know?

"I guessed entirely by observing your demeanor, and you don't manage your expressions very well. Illya smiled and said, "We soothsayers can do divination on items. If you want to do divination on people, you must have your consent, this is the code of our soothsayers, and if you violate it, you will be punished by God. ”

Kraft was skeptical, but he gave a brief explanation of his mission.

After hearing this, Illya bowed her head slightly, thoughtful.

"I don't think it's too early, let's go back and get the crystal ball. Kraft glanced up at the sky.

"Hmm. Illya nodded, and left the bazaar with Kraft.

Back at the jewelry store, the boss handed over a crystal ball that was in good condition and said proudly, "How's it going?

"It's not bad, Elia, look at it. Kraft didn't expect to recover so well, and showed the crystal ball to Illya.

Illya took the round and shiny crystal ball, stroked it for a week, nodded with satisfaction, and sighed: "Sure enough, the old saying is fulfilled: in the Ice City, as long as there is enough gold, there is nothing that cannot be done." ”

"Oh, little girl, look at what you said. This is a conscientious business, every penny is a penny!" the boss naturally would not admit that he was charging too much.

Just as the two of them were about to step out of the store, the boss sighed: "This crystal ball is very dangerous!"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Elia, turning her head unhappily.

"It's not like there's something you can control. The boss scratched his beard and frowned.

"I don't know if you know that there is a very unusual kind of magic attached to this crystal ball, which, in my experience, is by no means good. I think if you don't want to cause trouble, you should get rid of this stuff as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this, Elija lowered her head and stared at the crystal ball, but her eyes seemed to penetrate far away. After a moment, she looked very surprised.

Kraft, on the other hand, was confused.
