Shade took out the tie as he spoke, and the red-haired witch smiled faintly:
"One more thing - after the New Year's Day, Tifa and I are going back to Saladir County."
Shade suddenly raised his head and looked at her in surprise. Miss Carina explained:
"After all, I have been staying in Tobesk for the past six months. Although there are female officials in Saladir County who I trust very much to preside over affairs, and documents have been passed on, I have not been able to show up in person. In fact, if it were not for the Pantanal
Things, I plan to go back to celebrate the Chinese New Year..."
"How long will it take to get back?"
Shade asked, trying not to show too much regret.
"About a month or two."
She mentioned a span of time that was quite long, but Shade could also understand it. Although Saladir County was still nominally part of the kingdom and not an independent principality, in fact, due to Miss Carina's methods and Sarah's
The history of Ladier County, the taxation and military management there, has basically been semi-independent.
Therefore, when calling Miss Carina, the more common title is "Grand Duchess". If the steam age had not strengthened the economic exchanges within the entire kingdom, Saladir County would probably have become an independent principality.
The current king has no objection to this. This is of course not only because Miss Carina is his aunt, but also because this is something that the previous kings have agreed to long ago.
Lesia's unfriendliness towards Miss Carina is because Miss Carina tried to "split the kingdom."
"Come back soon...I will miss you."
Shade said, put down the tie, held down the dishonest cat, pursed his lips and asked again:
"When will we set off?"
"Tomorrow night I will attend the royal banquet at Yodel Palace. On Wednesday, which is the first day of this year, I will accompany Queen Diana to attend the event. I will pack my luggage on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, we will take the steam train and the travel time will not be long.
long."
Miss Carina looked at Shade:
"While I was away from Tobesk, you were the only legal owner of the manor in the local area. You have also met the housekeeper. If you have anything to do, just come to her. In addition, if you have something urgent to come to me, besides going to Middleburg to find Cassander
In addition to pulling the mother-in-law, I will leave you an alchemy item that you can contact at any time..."
It was a pair of red-covered notebooks. If letters were written on either one, the traces would also appear on the other. Of course, these were only alchemy items and were not as good as relics, so when using them, not only did both parties need to be in the elemental environment
It is a relatively stable situation and can only transmit simple information and cannot transmit matter.
"By the time we come back, it will probably be spring."
Miss Carina sighed softly, and then asked Xiang Shade:
"Do you know what my dream is?"
"Becoming the Witch Emperor of the Sixth Age."
Shade said without thinking, and the red-haired witch was a little surprised:
"I never mentioned this to you."
"But I can feel it. My own territory, the power of demigods. I think you even want to use Saladir County as the public residence of the Witch Council, so that the Council can truly become an important extraordinary person in the Sixth Age.
A group so that the followers of the witches can unite together."
Shade said, Carina Cavendish looked at him blankly, and it took a long time before she said:
"Interesting ambition, isn't it?"
"It's not only interesting, but also worthy of awe and admiration. I roughly understand why Lesia hates you... But the sixth age material world, the new witch kingdom... This is difficult, if you
Hopefully by doing so, I'll be able to help you somewhere other than splitting up Delarian."
"Look, Ray Jade's Hamilton really does have the power of the 'Succubus'."
She deliberately avoided Shade's eyes, turned her head slightly and said to Tifa beside her. Then she stood up and sat next to Shade:
"Is there anything else going on today?"
"Yin Luna will probably come to see me when she comes back tonight."
"Then come with me for a walk around the city this afternoon, and then have dinner together."
Looking at Miss Carina up close, her beautiful face is really breathtaking.
"Just think of it as a farewell to me and Tifa... Speaking of which, do you know who did bad things in my bed during my 'bed rest'? I heard it from the young maids.
Some interesting rumours."
yyxs.la
She asked suddenly, and Tifa immediately turned around and walked to the kitchen to see why the other two maids hadn't brought the hot tea. Shade blushed, and Miss Carina showed a satisfied smile and leaned towards Shade.
, resting his head on Shade's shoulder.
It was already seven o'clock on Monday night when the carriage brought Shade back. This afternoon he accompanied Miss Carina, and he could fully appreciate the enthusiasm of the upcoming festival in the city.
After Shade got off the carriage, the duchess kissed Shade goodbye through the car window and made an appointment to see her off on Saturday.
Shade took out the key and opened the door, only to find that the lights were on inside the house at this time. When he walked up the stairs, he saw Luvia standing by the window sill holding little Mia:
"I just saw you kissing."
She said with a smile, and then motioned to Shade to go to the study and take a look:
"Half an hour ago, something was glowing in your study drawer, but I didn't move it."
"In the drawer? Oh, it's the page of the poem manuscript!"
He hurriedly ran to the study and found the message on the page. Miss Denister returned directly to St. Byrons after the battle in the Pantanal. Originally, she wanted to talk to Shade about "The Relic of the Yellow Moon" tonight.
", but seeing that he seemed not to be at home, I asked him to contact me again after the New Year's Day.
Miss Denister will probably be very busy recently. Although the Pantanal War failed to become the "beginning of the end" as predicted, the aftermath of what Shade did is still spreading. Not to mention, as St. Byrons
Apart from the principal, the most important librarian of the Comprehensive College, the college's year-end celebrations cannot be without the presence and participation of this lady.
So Shade respectfully wrote a reply, and revealed in the reply that he had found the relic [Source of Chaos] and could try to open the Black Book again at any time.
He was not afraid of the [Source of Chaos] being recognized. The round, bright yellow orb appeared in public for the only time in the Pantanal area, but it was made larger than the moon by Miss Olanode. The fluctuations in the elements at that time were
Real relics are completely different.
While Shade was writing the letter, Luvia kept watching. After he finished writing, he asked:
"Do you think you can find the [Silver Moon Library]? That library is said to have records of all the past. If you can enter it at will, it will definitely be of great help to our cause."
"I might be able to find it this time, but I bet that there will definitely be a price to pay for searching for information in the library."
It wasn't until nine o'clock that night that the tired Yin Luna knocked on the door of No. 6 St. Teresa Square. Although she had gone through a long journey and reported her itinerary to the Church of the Sun, she was able to see Shade again this night.
With Luvia, the seventeen-year-old girl is still very happy.
Luvia patted the snowflakes on her shoulders for her, and Shade handed her hot tea. She held the tea cup and took a few sips, and Yin Luna's face, which was red from the cold, regained some normal color:
"I didn't find the carriage at first. I walked two blocks from the church before I saw the carriage. It's the end of the year and the coachmen have to take a rest."
Yin Luna explained in a low voice, and Luvia said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work, Yin Luna."
Yin Luna's face immediately turned red, and she muttered in a low voice, "Xia De works harder than me" and "How can you really say such things?" Then she glanced at Xia De secretly.
She thought again of the brief time she and Shade spent alone by the light of the campfire at the end of the Battle of Pantanal, after the five demigod witches left. Thinking about it now, that kiss was really bold.
After a long journey, she immediately came to Shade's house, naturally to check the follow-up situation of the fourth chosen one. [Aiken'ola - Arrow of the Chosen One] had been taken out by Shade. Yin Luna listened to Shade's introduction while checking it.
specific sitiuation.
What is sealed in this arrow is the qualification of the chosen one. Those who are shot by the Shadra bow can become the chosen ones of "knowledge and wisdom". Of course, not everyone can, at least they must have certain qualifications.
Wisdom, or the determination to pursue knowledge.
From this point of view, most of the ring warlocks Shade knows meet the requirements. In addition to giving the chosen person the identity of this arrow, the person stabbed by Shade with the arrow can also gain additional power.
Luvia had already tried to be stabbed by an arrow, so she obtained thaumaturgy, while Yin Luna probably had received enlightenment from the chosen one on the island in the middle of the Pantanal Lake, so she could no longer use this arrow.
Get other powers.
"The question now is, should the elective qualification be conferred on someone, or should it be conferred now?"
The arrow returned to Luvia's hand again, and she and Yin Luna looked at Shade.
Shade has already made up his mind:
"The first thing that needs to be made clear is that the qualifications of the chosen ones must not remain in this arrow forever, otherwise the condition of 'all chosen people appear' will not be met."
He paused:
"If what Luvia said is correct, the final door will definitely appear, then fate will not allow us to remain the chosen ones for a long time."
The purple-eyed fortune teller nodded, and Shade expressed his plan:
"But I don't intend to give the qualifications to others right away."
He took the arrow from Luvia:
"Being a chosen one means being forced to be involved in the whirlpool of fate, and we can't guarantee that even our friends will always stand by our side... This is just preparing for the worst,
It’s not that we don’t trust others. Therefore, giving qualifications to someone immediately, for us, only adds a new combat capability, and has no other benefits.”
He looked at the two girls:
"My idea is to keep this arrow until the twelfth chosen person appears, and then I will shoot it out... I am currently considering asking an old man like Priest Augustus to do so.
, has his own unique wisdom, and he has a peaceful personality and is very willing to help me.”
What Shade didn't say was that the priest's body was fused with the body of the "King of Angels" the immortal angel. No matter what happens after the last door is opened, the participation of this old priest can eventually increase the number of things.
The probability of developing for the better.
Of course, he still strictly abided by the agreement with Priest Augustus at this time, so he would not share the priest's secrets with others.
