Shade rarely has such a clear dream after waking up. When the ring warlock encounters this kind of thing, he will start to wonder whether this is a special situation such as a "precognitive dream". Last time this happened
The thing is, when I first arrived in the Randall Valley, I dreamed of riding a cat and flying towards the sun.
"So, did I predict that I would encounter the vampire god and the Night Manor again, or did I predict that Mia would turn into a golden-haired lion?"
Shade murmured in a low voice, grabbed the cat's waist with both hands and picked it up. Little Mia struggled twice symbolically, and then docilely stopped moving. Only then did Shade realize that he who appeared at the end of the dream was being killed by rice.
The situation where Ya slapped his chest with his paw was most likely caused by the cat seeing that his expression was wrong in his sleep, so it jumped on his chest.
This also explains why when Shad woke up, Mia rolled off his chest.
"I'm so sorry that I have to take you out on an adventure tonight."
He whispered to Miss Gold's cat, but the orange and white kitten only meeked a few times, and instead seemed to be comforting Shade.
Outsiders feel that this world is really gentle towards them.
Because he got up half an hour earlier than usual, Shade had time to wash up slowly and go over tonight's plan in his head. He waited until half past six before going downstairs to get the newspaper and goat's milk from the door.
Started today’s breakfast.
He originally planned to go to Randall Valley early, discuss the plan with the witches, and then fulfill his promise to Siris, but packing the things he wanted to bring last night was too hasty, so he had to confirm what he wanted to bring again.
Relics.
Among the two angel-level relics, [Aiken'ora - Arrow of the Chosen] is related to the qualifications of the Chosen. If it is lost or damaged, it will be a big problem, so Shade will not carry it. And [Night Watch] is used as a countermeasure.
Of course, the devil's key must be taken to the Randall Valley together.
There are two sage-level relics in hand, [God's Gift Box] is not very helpful for this operation, and it is not easy to carry, so it is kept at home, while Huang Yue's orb [Source of Chaos] is carried with him.
All of Shade's Keeper-level relics are small in size and have uses, so [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], [Higgs Dragon Head Stone], [Perfume Vial of Desire], [Profane Cross], [
Demon Hunting Seal] and the newly acquired [Soul-Draining Demon Blade] must be carried.
I will leave the clerical-level [Gear of Kindness] at home first this time, and take the poet-level [Key to Time] and two [Eternal Youth Leaves] with me. If things go well, maybe there will be three leaves tomorrow night.
The special coin [Emperor's Banquet Copper Coin] left in his hand was temporarily given to Luvia for safekeeping. The metamorphosis, training fish, vampire species, and epidemic doctor ring, which Shade called the "Four Rings of Mia", because every
Each one has a unique function, so I carry them all with me.
Of course, according to the basic education of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, it is actually quite dangerous to carry so many relics with you at one time, but since it is the final battle of the Earth's Chosen Incident, Shade can't control too much.
.
There are non-relics that must be brought along, as well as spell-casting materials and alchemy items that need to be packed away. When these are finished, the bell will ring from downstairs.
"It wouldn't be such a coincidence that someone would visit me now. Is there a client coming to visit today?"
But before Shade could open the door, the door was opened by the key, and then a worried Dorothy walked up:
"Shad, I just received a letter from Dr. Schneider. He said that the group meetings this week and next week are cancelled. He has difficult matters to deal with out of town. He will try to come back within two weeks. Does this matter have anything to do with you?
Something to do with what happened in Randall Valley?”
She frowned and saw a lot of things spread out on the coffee table in the living room. Without waiting for Shade's reply, she added:
"I just asked Lesia, and she said that Carina Cavendish is no longer in the city. Now she claims to have a winter cold and is resting in bed. She even gave her time to visit. This is very unusual.
, since you are here today, and the doctor will definitely not be there tomorrow afternoon, is there something big going to happen in the Randall Valley tonight? Don't tell me, you are packing these things for an outing."
The cat stood on the dining table that had been wiped by Shade, stared at Shade on the left, and then at the blonde girl who had just entered the living room on the right. The writer wrote detective novels, and her reasoning ability
Better than second-rate detective Shad Hamilton.
Shade put down the potion bottle in his hand:
"Well I'm not going to lie to you, yes. I've been planning something for nearly two months and it's finally coming to an end tonight."
Dorothy pursed her lips nervously:
"Is it related to the recent frequent earthquakes in the Old World? The academy sent letters to remind ring warlocks everywhere to pay attention to the local earth elemental giant spirits and to report abnormal conditions on the earth?"
"Yes."
Shade nodded:
"The Randall River Valley is recognized in mysticism as the center of the material world. Things there will directly affect the entire world. Including this morning. Although I haven't had time to go out, it's almost eight o'clock now, and the speed of dawn today,
Isn’t it a little too slow?”
He walked to the dining table and held the table with one hand beside Mia:
"I'm going to Randall Valley tonight to do something very dangerous. But don't worry, I'll take care of those troublesome things."
The blonde girl came over, opened her arms and hugged Shade, and it took a long time before she let go:
"I know you have your own goals and ideas, so I won't advise you not to do it. But please pay attention to safety, and don't forget to protect Luvia. I look forward to our meeting again one Saturday in the future.
Showed up at Dr. Schneider's clinic together."
She took out three rolled rolls of parchment:
"This is a copy of Cinderella, or Gray's Glass Slipper. It's not any modern version, it's the version you told me."
"Didn't you already give me one last Saturday?"
Shade asked, reaching out and taking it:
"Lecia was worried, so she copied a few more copies with me for you to take with you. We all know that this is very important to you."
Dorothy looked at Shade with quite worried eyes:
"Promise me that you will come back safely."
"Yes, I will come back safely. This is my promise."
Shade stretched out his hand to her and made a hook gesture. The blonde girl pushed his hand away with a forced smile:
"I don't want such childish behavior, I just want you."
He closed his eyes as he spoke, and when he opened them again, it was Lesia who looked at Shade:
"What should be said, Dorothy has already told you. Remember to come back early. Do you want us to help take care of your cat?"
"I'm going to take it with me this time. It will be useful to little Mia."
Shade touched the cat standing on the dining table:
"If nothing else happens, I will be back on Saturday morning. If you are really worried, you can let Dorothy sleep here and wait for me."
"Okay, we'll wait for you at home. And..."
Lesia looked up at Shade:
"You must come back safely."
Shade gave her a reassuring gesture:
"In Mia's name, I will. Do you want to go to Dr. Schneider's with me? I'm going to put a Rhodes card at his place temporarily."
The two went to Dr. Schneider's clinic together. After temporarily handing [Origin Darkness] to the doctor, Shade warned the doctor that the Randall Valley area would probably be "very lively" tonight.
After returning to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square with Dorothy, they marked their brief farewell with two kisses.
The reason why there are two is because both the blonde girl and Her Royal Highness the Princess cherish this farewell.
After arriving at Randall Valley, the Forgotten Church was silent and empty. Shade carried Mia to the main hall, and retrieved a photo of the Watson family next to the stone sculpture of Mr. Lacers.
I lightly flicked the edges of the photo and then clipped it into my notebook:
"First insurance."
Turning around to look at the holy emblem hanging on the wall, and then patting the shoulder of the stone statue sitting there, Shade walked along the carpeted walk between the benches in the main hall towards the door of the church without looking back.
.
This Friday was obviously the last day before the first Randall flowers of this spring bloomed according to the divination, but when Shade walked out of the church, he found thin snowflakes dancing in the sky. The snow had obviously been falling for a long time.
After a while, the courtyard of the church, which had been cleared out a long time ago, was now covered with snow, and the color of the snowflakes was actually gray:
"What is this?"
Shade bent down and touched the snow with his hands, but he didn't notice any traces of the elements.
And "she" explained gently:
[The ancient god - the Mother Goddess of the Earth, has the power to represent the "foundation". The changes in the earth will fully affect the rest of the world. Fortunately, the changes have not yet reached the final level, so the last snow before spring,
Only then will it show this color.】
It was already nine o'clock in the morning, but the color of the sky was the same as the snowflakes, showing a dull gray. In addition to the thick fog that covered the city with the smell of rotten eggs and rotten leaves, the sky itself also became quite strange.
As for the sun, when Shade and Mia looked up, they could only see the dim shadow of the sun with a black outline behind the thick fog and clouds. Even Shade opened his arms and shouted "Praise the Sun".
Incapable of stimulating the thaumaturgic effects of increased strength in the sun.
Standing on the steps outside the church door and looking at the city, I could see two or three thick black smoke pillars floating in the distance. At the same time, the sounds of gongs and police whistles were heard continuously from all directions. I obviously left last night.
At that time, the city only looked depressed as it had just contracted the disease, but looking back this morning, it was clear that it had reached the advanced stage of the disease, which was incurable.
