The priest said with a smile, holding hands together like Shade, and then looked sideways at the fire in the fireplace. The two were silent for a while, each with their own thoughts. Among the slight crackling sounds, only little Mia's breathing sounded loud.
Evenly, the cat seems to be asleep.
"The spring of 1854 is coming soon."
"Yes, I hope so. And it's best."
That night, Shade had a very strange dream. When he woke up on Tuesday morning, he could no longer explain what he saw in the dream. He only remembered that he was chasing after the long-haired Luvia.
Running in the dark forest of snow.
When he was woken up by the sound of little Mia scratching the closet door, he still felt a little lost. But then he suddenly felt afraid, and quietly looked at the sleepy blonde girl beside him who had just been awakened, and asked carefully in his heart:
"I probably didn't talk in my sleep and call out Luvia's name when I was sleeping, right?"
【No, you have never talked in your sleep.】
"That's good."
Now Shade felt relieved.
"Shade, is the inside of your closet door okay? Do you want Lesia to send someone to replace it?"
This was Dorothy's concern at this time.
After breakfast, Dorothy kissed Shade's side of the face downstairs and then left. Miss Writer was a busy person. Shade didn't stay at home either. Seeing that the lazy cat had no intention of going out today, she hugged it by force.
After arriving at the door, we took a carriage and headed to Dr. Schneider's clinic.
The doctor knew that Shade had gone to the haunted manor yesterday, so he was waiting for Shade to come to the door. Shade still briefly explained what he had experienced yesterday, focusing on his first confrontation with the devil:
"The other party is different from the old, weak, sick and disabled ancient evil spirits we have encountered so far. I even suspect that now is the time when the other party's history is at its most prosperous."
Although on the surface it was Shade who forced the opponent back, in reality it was because the demon had no intention of killing Shade on the spot.
"No, no, it can only be said that this era is the most powerful. If you don't understand the story of the third era, you can't imagine what the situation was like at that time."
The doctor shook his head slightly:
"Things are a bit troublesome, but you did a good job yesterday. As long as we make an appointment for the next meeting with the devil, we can make plans in advance."
"Yes, the stone mirror demon Goethe said that he will appear after I complete the task. In other words, I have to get the forged weapon - I have found the forger in the Randall Valley, and then 'teach me a lesson'
'Meet Stone Oxenfurt.'
"You just mentioned that that weapon won't be available until next Wednesday at the earliest?"
"Yes, but we can't do it so easily. This time to 'teach' Oxenfurt, I want to destroy everything he has. His wife, the indifferent lady, seems to be hinting to me,
You must defeat all of him before you can pierce his chest with your sword."
"You also want to complete Haila Oxenfurt's mission."
The doctor said, and Shade nodded while stroking the cat lying on his lap:
"Not only that, but there is also the mission of Stone Oxenfurt himself. The third item, the sapphire earring with his blood, I haven't been able to find yet. This mission is most likely for Oxenfurt to resist the devil.
Action. Completing it should also be beneficial to our actions."
Shade added before the doctor could react:
"This is not a clue to the [Origin Earth] he promised."
After saying that, he also patted little Mia on the head, who immediately made a "meow" sound in agreement.
The doctor laughed:
"You don't have to explain this to me. After all, it's you who is carrying out the operation. I'm just waiting for you to create opportunities for me. I'm ready, the clinic has been arranged, and I can go to Randall Valley at any time."
"It will take about half a month to a month, which is the time of late winter and early spring."
Shade said very cautiously:
"That demon is more cautious and powerful than imagined."
The life ring slowly emerged from the thick steam mist behind Shade, and the five-ring blasphemous spiritual rune - [Pride] was flashing with a somewhat crazy silver aura. The aura shone on Mia's fur, shining with an even weirder light.
.
"The devil is even involved with the cultists. Although the formation of this spiritual rune is also related to the evil god statue, most of it is the power of the evil spirit that I absorbed through the relics."
"You have to be careful not to lose control recently. Generally speaking, normal people will not do such things as absorbing demonic power, especially through relics that are easily out of control."
The doctor was very worried, but Shade was not worried at all. He had already used [Night Watch] on himself this morning, but there was no reaction. And compared to the spiritual runes formed by the evil god's divinity, the demonic power was nothing at all.
What.
"arrogant."
Shade murmured softly, and the doctor asked:
"I know a lot of interesting thaumaturgy about this type of spiritual runes. Do you need me to share some knowledge?"
"I plan to go to Miss Danister for advice. Last week, she also asked about my study progress. As you know, I have been very busy in Randall Valley recently."
The doctor showed a sympathetic expression. He knew that Shade had been running around the Randall Valley since last month.
"So before she left the academy on a business trip, I asked her some questions about the Ring Warlock's studies, so that she could feel that I was very active and serious. This would help improve Miss Danister's impression of me."
Shade said his plan, and the doctor nodded in agreement. He is a graduate of Tobesk Medical University. He went to school when he was young and experienced various things with his instructor, so he understands that this is important.
In fact, after getting up this morning, Shade had already conveyed the news of the scheduled visit to Miss Daniste through the pages of his poem manuscript. But Miss Daniste still chose to meet on Wednesday, that is, tomorrow morning.
It's the same time as last week.
Therefore, the only thing he had to do today was to visit Earl Granger in the afternoon.
Just like last night, Shade also asked the doctor if there was any way that Shade could kill or destroy Stone Oxenfurt's soul at the moment he killed or destroyed his body, or if he could
His soul was completely expelled from the material world.
"Devils have many similar methods, such as the most famous one, the sage-level relic [Devil's Soul Box]. However, these are only aimed at ordinary souls. The demonized fallen soul itself can resist other than its owner.
The power of other demons. Therefore, if you really have such great resentment towards that Stone Oxenfurt, or have other reasons, I suggest you directly use powerful attacks to crush his soul."
Shade frowned slightly and even stopped stroking Mia's hand:
"I'm worried about other situations. It would be better if we could directly crush his soul by then. Then doctor, you are always ready. It is expected that I will invite you to Randall Valley at the end of next week."
"Next Friday is the last day of the Moon, and then March. I think it's okay, it's enough for me to arrange things for Tobesk."
The doctor nodded:
"I just hope that I won't be so unlucky. When I left Tobesk, the college's 1854 correspondence student status review happened to come to our area."
"Doctor, don't say such nonsense."
Shade hurriedly stopped him, and the doctor also covered his mouth, looking scared.
After leaving the doctor's clinic, Shade still did not leave for the Randall Valley. Instead, he took a carriage from the city to Carina Manor outside the city.
Because I left very early that day, it was only after nine o'clock when I arrived at the manor. The maids and ladies who were already familiar with Shade welcomed him as their master. Of course, the mistress of the manor was still there at such an early hour.
In the manor - Unless she spent the night at Yodel Palace the night before, Miss Carina would usually not leave for the city before ten o'clock in the morning.
Tifa, who heard about Shad's visit, met Shad on the stairs on the first floor who was trying to control Mia. Little Mia was "yowling" loudly at the cats gathering from the corridor on the first floor. If it weren't for Shad holding her
It, it probably got into a fight with those cats.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
The black-haired maid easily dispersed the cats in the manor, then pointed upstairs and said:
"Good morning, Miss Shade is talking to a guest. I will take you directly there."
"If I'm talking to a guest, it's okay for me to wait a little longer."
Shade shook his head hastily, but the black-haired maid smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, it's His Highness Lesiya. Your Highness came half an hour ago."
"Lecia took the initiative to visit Miss Carina?"
This is really new to Shade:
"Could it be that the king sent her to deliver some important documents?"
The weather outside the city is not bad today. The bright sunshine shines into the room from the study window and also illuminates the faces of beautiful ladies.
After Tifa knocked on the door, she opened the door and pushed Shade in without even announcing what was going on. When the Duchess and the Princess inside and outside the desk saw that Shade was coming, they all stood up and exposed themselves.
Surprise expression:
"Xia De, why are you here? Have you had breakfast?"
"Shad, didn't you go to Randall Valley?"
Shade didn't know what they were talking about just now, but it probably wasn't an important topic. But when Miss Carina came out from behind the desk, Shade noticed that she was wearing a pair of black fabrics made by Miss Sylvia on her legs.
.
The morning light shines into the room from the window on the side wall of the study, and the light makes the pair of fabrics look more textured and more attractive.
Noticing Shade's gaze, Miss Carina's face showed a blush, but she was very satisfied with the effect. Even in her own manor, she did not wear it every day. This top-quality fabric,
Miss Sylvia didn't have many pairs, so she wore them very preciously. Today she wanted to show off in front of Lesia, but she didn't expect that Shade would also come.
