[This is the end of another story. Do you have any thoughts? 】
After packing up the harvest, when Shade was about to touch the statue and head to Randall Valley, "she" asked softly in Shade's ear.
So Shade looked at the shelf where souvenirs were stored, shook his head slightly, and entered the thick white fog:
"What can you think of it? When the old story ends, a new story will always begin."
The Church of the Forgotten is still as deserted as it was when Shade first arrived in the same month.
After walking out of the church, I could still feel the pain of the city after the earthquake. Obviously, the street scene of Cherry Leaf Street was not too damaged by the earthquake, but the people walking in a hurry and the gloomy sky with no more snow still seemed like they were for the city.
The city has been cast under a gloomy filter called "pain."
The sadness, depression and uneasiness that spread in the city also infected Shade. Although he thought he had found the best ending, nothing was ever absolutely perfect. He could only find a relatively good outcome.
Instead of going to the Wilde Opera House or Bernice Manor, the disguised Shade got into a carriage in a low-key manner and headed to the Fertile Land Hotel in the city center.
When he arrived at the hotel, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he opened the door, Shade saw Dr. Schneider wearing a Randall Valley robe sitting by the wall, talking to Ms. Marilyn Hendel.
The spirit of Joey Barton stood by and listened, frowning.
Shade first went to the counter to order a cup of hot tea, and then sat down at the table.
Ms. Handel still had few words:
"The incident in Randall Valley is over. Joey and I will continue our trip."
"Then I wish you a smooth journey, and please allow me once again to express my most sincere gratitude."
Shade said, Luvia said this morning that although this lady did not show up during the battle on Saturday, she cleared away the undead attracted by the filthy land, so that there were not many appearances in the Randall Valley after the catastrophe.
Haunted incident.
Ms. Handel shook her head slightly:
"With so many casualties in the local area, we should have been here to guide those confused souls to the end. Now that the investigative forces of the church and college are about to arrive, it's time for us to leave."
She did not stand up immediately, but Joey Barton, who was in a special soul state, spoke. Although he was a soul, his special bond with Ms. Handel made even the Ring Warlock, when he did not want to be seen,
It was absolutely impossible to see him, so even Dr. Schneider could only vaguely feel that there was a strange soul here.
"Xia De, the breath of death in the material world has become stronger. Although you saved everything again, and seemed to have a happy ending, gaining the trust of the chosen ones on the earth, this has not fundamentally changed the situation.
The fact that death is coming."
Shade frowned slightly, then nodded:
"I see."
The two did not talk any more, and Shade took out a bulging wallet from his pocket and put it on the table. Ms. Handel did not refuse, and after a slight nod, she took the wallet and said goodbye to Joey Shade.
Together with Barton, they walked towards the door.
"Can you tell me how much money is in that wallet?"
The doctor asked, holding the tea cup and tilting his head curiously.
Shade looked around and made several gestures with his fingers on the wine-stained table, which surprised the wealthy single middle-aged psychiatrist:
"It's really generous."
"My activities in the Randall Valley are not unpaid."
Shade hid his smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put the dishonest cat on his lap.
Just counting the treasure he found behind the sewer wall with Iluna, it was already as much as his savings. Just like Shade has always believed, if a ring warlock wants to make money, it is actually not difficult at all.
Because there were some sensitive topics to talk about, the two of them returned to the room that Shade rented here. Of course, Shade had never lived here, and the room was rented just so that "John Watson" could legally send and receive letters.
Even if he stayed overnight locally, he would stay at Luvia's place most of the time.
The doctor liked the room that Shade rented very much. It happened that Shade rented the room for a month because he didn't know how long he would stay, so the doctor could live here these days.
After the two sat down, Shade took out the "Book of the Demon of Malbas" and wanted the doctor to check it. However, there was too much content in it, so the book was temporarily left with the doctor until he finished the check.
Return it to Shade.
Of course, during this period, the doctor will also understand all the knowledge recorded in it, but Shade doesn't care. After all, the doctor already has enough knowledge about demons, and one more book doesn't matter.
"I heard from Luvia, how many days do you plan to stay here?"
After talking about the book, Xia De asked. The doctor smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I have never been to Randall Valley. I finally came here, so how can I leave right away? As for the identity investigation of correspondence students, isn't it up to us yet?"
"But Luvia may not be able to go back with you. The professors at the college will give her a ride."
"That's fine. I can arrange my own schedule as I like. Today is Sunday. I will stay here until next Wednesday at most and then leave. No matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it can't compare to my own home."
"I very much agree with this point of view."
Shade nodded and once again expressed his gratitude to the doctor for coming to help.
"I actually didn't help much. You defeated the demons yourself. Although I met Anat later and helped her and the other young girl defeat the enemy, that's what I should do. I'm the team leader."
Dr. Schneider said, but he and Shade had a tacit understanding and did not talk about what happened between early morning and early morning on Saturday.
Although the doctor did not see Shade participating in the final battle with his own eyes, he could guess that Shade and Luvia must be closely related to this matter. But since everyone in the group has their own secret, there is no need to explore it.
too deep.
Moreover, the "Stone Mirror Demon-Goethe" that Shade gave him this time was really a great gift.
"Speaking of which, doctor, since you are going to stay in the Randall Valley for a few more days, are you interested in going with me to visit Father Morpheus of the Dawn Church?"
Shade asked again.
"who?"
The doctor asked subconsciously, then reacted and patted his leg with a smile:
"The old gentleman who bet with the Reverend Augustus and won 10p from the Reverend Augustus?"
"Yes, Luvia and I visited him last month. Father Murphy is now Bishop Murphy. We didn't see him last time. Luvia will probably go back soon.
, you don’t have time to go with me again, are you interested in going together?”
Shade extended the invitation, and the doctor agreed:
"Of course, this matter will never leave me behind. You know, I always thought that Priest Augustus's rigid and old-fashioned style was something he was born with. This is not talking bad about him behind his back. Last time
The old priest mentioned that he still owed money after a bet with others, so I have always been curious about what it could be, and now I can finally find the answer."
"So when do you have time? Oh, doctor, not tomorrow morning. I have to attend a funeral."
"I want to think about the sightseeing plan, the curator who is cursed by the devil, and Captain Woody who summons the devil. Wednesday morning, I can buy a train ticket for Wednesday afternoon."
After agreeing on a time for the next meeting with Dr. Schneider, Shade said goodbye and left. As for the matter at Oxenfurt Manor, Shade had not heard any news after he woke up. But no matter how hard he and the doctor tried to cover up the traces, the demonic realm would cover the matter.
It is impossible for the traces in that area to disappear completely, so sooner or later the church will know that Stone Oxenfurt is the mortal who signed a contract with the devil.
But fortunately, it's all over.
After leaving the Fertile Land Hotel, Shade returned to the Church of the Forgotten. The stone statue of Mr. Lacers, which had been moved away at an unknown time, sat for a while where the stone statue of Mr. Lacers originally sat. The sound of very slight footsteps came from the open door.
There was a sound at the door.
Shade made an appointment with Sister Devlin and Iluna to visit the guardian in the "Heart of the Earth" again. Judging from the sound of footsteps, it was obviously the blind nun who came now, because
She makes almost no sound when she walks.
The nun walked to Shade, put her hands behind her knees to gather her robe, and then sat down.
Shade originally wanted to say hello, but when he turned his head, he saw that a small piece of the exquisite crown-like silver eye mask worn by the nun, close to the ear, had peeled off. The area was about two inches.
It was the size of a fingernail, and although Sister Devlin had deliberately covered it with her gray hair, it was still quite obvious.
If you look closely, you will see that not only the small chip, but also the entire eye mask has cracks.
"Oh, what's going on?"
Shade asked in surprise. The nun folded her hands and put them on her knees, as if she was not used to it. She turned sideways slightly, not wanting Shade to see the "scars" on her blindfold clearly. However, the sideways movement, on the contrary,
It made the missing piece more conspicuous.
"In the early hours of Saturday morning, I, Professor Danister of St. Byrons, and the Thirteen-ring Warlock 'Winter Singer' of the [Winter Hymn Ensemble] faced off against the 'Bloodweeper' Hermons and the cultists.
There were some accidents while making the stone statue."
She said softly, her tone still so calm. And the "Winter Singer" is the extra thirteen-ring warlock hidden secretly by the church. This lady believes in the old god [Winter Maiden], that is, Shade and the silver-haired short
The tall witch Chloe, the one I met in the Silver Mountains.
"But isn't the eyepatch an inherited secret treasure left by the ancient Death Church? It will also be damaged?"
"This is not the first time in history. And Xia De, all things will eventually perish."
The fire-wielding nun said softly, but she didn't seem to want to talk to Shade about her broken eye patch.
