Chapter 1,719 The Ring I Obtained

All the stairs leading to the upper floors have been broken, and most of the side of the first floor near the lake is flooded. The cracks in the load-bearing wall are so dense that it looks like they have been scratched by Xiao Mia's claws, and various snakes, insects, rats, and ants have been scratched.

Settled down here.

Although Meghan investigated the location of the ring, she did not expect that the condition of the manor was already so bad. She and Shade stood at the door of the manor house and looked at the indoor foyer. They hesitated and said to Shade:

"Grab my hand and I'll take you up."

She naturally hooked Shade's hand with her own:

"Although the strength is still recovering, a short flight is still possible."

"I'll do it."

Shade closed his eyes, used his newly acquired [Powerful Spatial Perception] to determine the terrain near the mansion, then took out the weathervane bluegrass extract and dropped it on the tip of his tongue, and held Megan's hand tightly:

"Stand firm."

Taking a step forward, the two figures disappeared and appeared in the corridor on the third floor. The weight of the two people and Mia pressed on the warped wooden floor, making a loud "squeak~"

"The sound frightened the nearby rats and fled into the shadows formed by the sunbeams from the window at the end of the corridor due to the decayed and collapsed door panels.

"Space movement?"

Megan looked around in surprise:

"You are only in the sixth ring, can you already lead people to move in a stable space?"

"Haven't you tried it before?"

"I tried it. A friend who has passed away was also very good at space power. However, she is much higher level than you, and she usually only relies on space power when teleporting over long distances."

She is most likely talking about Miss Sylvia's teacher.

"You're really not..."

The beautiful eyes looked at Shade again, and Shade answered the question again:

"Ms. Pharmacist, I'm really not the chosen one, I'm sure of it."

Walking on the squeaky floor to the master bedroom, Shade opened up the moldy bed, held down the little Mia who screamed at the snake, burned the snake's nest under the mattress, and then

When I opened the floor, I found a hidden compartment under the floor.

"It went more smoothly than I thought."

"What did you expect to encounter?"

The sorceress asked strangely:

"I did so much research in the early stage, so it's strange that it didn't go well, right?"

"Because I usually need something...not important."

Count Gaiman, who passed away fifty years ago, was very careful in his work. The items in the secret compartment were all placed in a metal box as big as two palms, so they were relatively well preserved.

The box could no longer be opened due to rust, but it didn't matter in the face of strength. Shade opened the box and saw the ring with black and white gems at a glance. He handed the box containing other things to Mei.

Gen asked her to check it, and then looked at the light outside the window and looked at the black gems and white gems on the golden ring, which shone with a strange light.

"The poet-level relic [Ring of Mood], white represents positive emotions and black represents negative emotions."

Shade murmured to himself, rubbing the inside of the ring with his fingertips, and discovered the sentence Megan once said:

[The blend of joy and sorrow is the inner interpretation of wisdom.]

After chanting softly, he put the ring on his finger and couldn't help but smile. Although he had many relics in his hands, he only liked relics like these that were simple in shape and could be displayed together.

Even if this relic has little effect, he is very happy at the moment.

He tried to guide his spirit and stored the joy at this moment in a white gem. Then he realized that a more accurate term is "recording emotions", and he did not lose part of his emotions out of thin air.

"It's a pity that I'm in a good mood now, otherwise I could try to see how it changes my mood."

Shade thought in his mind, and then he was pulled by the cat on his shoulder. He turned to look at the cat's big amber eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, Shade took off the ring and shook it at it. Sure enough, he saw the cat.

His eyes follow the ring:

"You'll really like it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and held Little Mia's tail. Normally, if he did this, even Shade would be disliked by the cat until dinner started, but this time it was very well-behaved. Until Shade put the ring on the cat.

The cat took the initiative to pull its tail out of Shade's hand, and then turned to look at his tail wagging back and forth.

"Putting a relic ring on the tail of a pet cat will not turn it into a cat girl. This will only harm your pet."

Megan on the side noticed the movement here and warned, and then added:

"The Witch Emperors of the Fifth Era have tested and found that cat girls are not created in this way, and healthy people should not have undue thoughts about their pet cats."

"Who do you think I am?"

Shade, who was in a good mood, asked with a smile, and touched little Mia's head a few times, and the cat obediently rubbed his hand.

Afterwards, Shade went to look at the box that Megan had placed on the windowsill.

The only relic inside was the ring. Other ordinary items included three rolls of rolled banknotes - Carson's crowns and Delarion's gold pounds, and three pebble-sized gems -

—In pretty good condition, some forged identification documents, an old single-shot pistol and a palm-sized notebook.

Meghan is looking through the notebook:

"It seems that everything here is an escape route prepared by Count Gaiman for himself. Unfortunately, he died before he could use it."

She turned back a few pages of the notebook with smeared handwriting due to moisture, and then raised her eyebrows in surprise:

"His 'adventure' experience is written here. Let me take a look... Oh, it's such an old-fashioned story. He went fishing alone in a boat on a rainy day, and then he caught something strange in the lake, and he got a lot of money for it.

Given the opportunity to make a wish, what will he encounter? Relics? Demons? Or something more troublesome - like my ancestors?"

The sorceress made a small joke, and Shade thought about it:

"There are many stories like this, but obviously he paid a price. I think falling off a horse and dying is not that simple. It's hard to say where his soul went. It seems that although there are relics in his hand, Count Gaiman is definitely

If you are not a magician, you should know common sense - don't make wishes easily."

"Who knows?"

Meghan doesn’t mind this, after all, it happened fifty years ago:

"I'll see if there's anything written on the back about what happened to him... No, it's such a pity."

Although she said this, she didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, she was glad that she didn't have to be involved in other incidents. Looking at the smile on Shade's face, she felt more and more that this morning's trip was really valuable.

"Let's go. Now that the key has been obtained, didn't you say you would invite me to dinner at noon? Oh, sir, I don't often accept invitations from others. Please cherish this opportunity... I think you are interested in the Green Lake area.

I’m not very familiar with you either. Where do you want to take me?”

As she spoke, she put the notebook back into the box, and then watched as Shade turned the box into a toy and put it away. She looked at Shade with a smile, anticipating what Shade would do.

Shade already has an idea:

"It's better to go to your boat. I'll provide the food."

"You want to cook it yourself?"

Megan was a little surprised, and Shade shook his head. Just as he was about to explain his expensive and impractical lazy thaumaturgy, he saw two figures from the window out of the corner of his eye.

When he noticed each other, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, also noticed the two people standing at the window from a distance on the path.

Shade sighed and asked Megan suspiciously:

"Are these two the only ones left in the Mirror Association? How come we can meet them everywhere?"

It was just a joke at first, but Meghan unexpectedly took a look at the black ring on her finger. The black gemstone ring was flashing with a faint light. This was a relic, and it was the first time Shade saw Meghan wearing it.

, but he didn’t ask much on the way here.

"It's not an accident, it's fate. The ring on my hand was lent to me by my friend with thirteen rings. Although it is only a clerical grade, it can detect some traces of fate. The family's prophecy says,

Everyone will be reunited and this is proof."

Megan said, sighing slightly and looking at her nephews standing on the path:

"You become a cat or do I become a cat? I hope to maintain their misunderstanding of your identity."

Shade glanced at Mia, who was being held by him. The cat still didn't know what was going to happen:

"I'll turn my cat into a toy, and then I'll turn into a cat again. It's not controllable if you use magic potion to turn into a cat. If the potion doesn't work when you want to change back, you'll be in trouble."

"That's fine."

Megan nodded, not mentioning that as a master of potions, he actually had a way to end the effect of potions early:

"Actually, your cats can still be used as toys. I won't find it troublesome to hold two cats."

"But I'd be in trouble."

Shade will never turn into a cat in front of little Mia again.

So the two turned and left the window. When they came downstairs, little Mia was turned into a toy, Shade turned into a silver cat again, and his belongings were temporarily kept by Megan.

When they arrived at the deformed door frame of the mansion, the two brothers, each blind in one eye, had also arrived at the door of the manor. Although they met at Bad Eye Barry's site in the city during a heavy rain not long ago, the two sides were quite unhappy.

Friendly, but this time they did not immediately fight because of this.

Megan hugged the silver cat and asked the question that Shad had just asked:

"Are you the only one who hides mirrors in the Mirror Association? How come I can meet you two everywhere?"

The two brothers also gave similar answers to Meghan just now:

"We have to ask our ancestor Laplace Klein Howard about this. Aunt and uncle, I wonder what you want to do here?"

It seems that they are still misunderstanding the relationship between Shade and Megan.
