The two of them went downstairs together, and when they arrived on the first floor, Ms. Helena Green and Mr. Solon Green were already waiting for them at the top of the stairs.
The hotel owners said hello to Audrey, and the witch also made a formal introduction to Shade:
"These are my nephews and nieces. They are the youngest daughters of the fourth generation, the grandchildren of my aunt Maria Edwards."
Mr. Sauron Green, who had communicated with Shade this morning, winked at Shade, and Shade pretended to understand this:
"Oh~ So that's how it is. It's really surprising."
"Look what you said, didn't you already guess it?"
The brown-haired girl patted Shade's arm, and then said to the two siblings:
"Let everyone in the kitchen leave for now."
Mr. Soren Green went to notify the chef and the helpers to come out for supper. After everyone left the kitchen, Shade and Audrey entered the kitchen together, then entered the narrow storage room from the kitchen, opened the trap door and entered
The underground storage room.
The summoned white light ball guarded them, and Shade led the somewhat confused witch to the wall at the end of the underground storage room:
"Now call out the life ring."
Then the eleventh life ring appeared behind Audrey. The gorgeous life ring was dotted with more than 50 spiritual runes. Every time Megan advanced, it exceeded the level of four spiritual runes in the first ring:
"Let the spiritual light of the spiritual rune [Locked Space] shine on the wall in front of us."
The witch did as she was told, and then she saw that in the light, the wall actually "melted" to create a dark hidden passage:
"This... I can't feel any elements or spirits even when I'm standing in front of the wall! How is this possible?"
"There is a hidden wall in front of you - come this way."
Shade made a gesture of invitation, but he walked in first. Audrey followed closely behind, and when his eyes came into contact with the statue in the center of the hidden space behind the passage, the light of the statue illuminated the surrounding area.
There is nothing next to the curved walls of the circular space, except for a white stone statue placed in the center of the space. The base is a circular platform, and on the platform stands a statue of a man with two heads, both heads.
There is no face. He is holding a book in his left hand, and his right hand is pointing forward. The direction the fingers point to is the direction of Shade and Audrey.
"Ancient God!"
Audrey was startled, and then understood what it was in the huge sense of mental oppression. The witch, who was surprised and frightened, subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was held by Shade. Her golden eyes reflected
The statue in front of her was a two-headed man wearing a rolled-up floor-length robe, barefoot, and his faceless head looking outward seemed to be looking directly at her.
The impact of the miraculous element and the posture of the ancient god caused Audrey's spirit to surge uncontrollably in her soul, but she did not retreat any further, instead her eyes widened as if she was frozen in place.
After a long while, she finally let out a breath and turned to ask Shade:
"This is the legendary space maze?"
"Yes. According to legend, before the thirteen ancient gods left, they left behind strange spaces. The Inquisitor's Court, the Dark Dungeon, the Witch Council, the Space Maze..."
When Shade mentioned the "Witch Council", the witch's expression visibly stiffened.
Shade pretended not to notice, but took Audrey closer to the statue, then took her hand and placed it on the warm stone:
"Please read with me: May the original crack protect me in the infinite space."
"May the original crack protect me in the infinite space."
White mist rose up around them, instantly surrounding the two of them. In the white mist, the trail extended forward. To Shade, there were seven signposts on the trail, but to Audrey, there was only one.
"The space labyrinth exists in plural. You can establish road signs by touching the statues of gods in different places, and then you can teleport between different road signs. Except that you cannot bring other lives, you can carry other things. When I am not in Green Lake, I go home through here.
Already."
Shade introduced the function of this place, and Audrey listened carefully before asking again:
"You also said that you are not the chosen one in space?"
"To enter here, you can do it as long as you have space-type spiritual runes, or even the power related to the ancient god's 'primordial rift'. I was able to discover the secrets here just because one of the hidden spaces is in the basement of my house. My house
When we were renovating the first floor, the cat in the house ran around, so I entered the basement and discovered the abnormality... It is possible that your family is the chosen one, not me."
Audrey also knew that what Shade said was right, but she just couldn't help but want to ask.
When Shade answered the question, she also laughed. Looking at the white mist-shrouded space, she finally gave Shade a hug:
"You have worked hard today, go back and rest. Tomorrow... you don't have to come see me for the time being. I want to entertain my friend. She is a very troublesome woman, but I believe I can deal with her."
She was really worried that Shade would meet other witches who had arrived locally:
"On Friday night, I will send someone to pick you up at the hotel door, and then we will go to the banquet together."
Red lips were printed on the side of Shade's face, she pursed her lips and asked:
"Or, do you want to kiss me again before leaving?"
"No, no, you can't do too many of these things. I'm afraid of having strange dreams. See you the day after tomorrow, Megan and Audrey."
Shade waved his hands as if running away. The witch said goodbye to him with a smile, and threw him a wooden key, which was the key to time:
"Since you have the power of time, this should be useful to you. A small gift. Thank you for everything you have done for us."
Shade looked at her in surprise, then smiled and waved goodbye. After Shade left, the witch turned to look at everything in the white mist, and then put her hand on the road sign.
Because of the delay at the Green Lake Hotel, by the time Shade returned home, the lunar eclipse had already entered the fading stage. The city was illuminated by the moonlight again, and it was another peaceful night for the city of Tobesk.
.
Luvia's stargazing work was almost completed. Shade used thaumaturgy to make dinner. While eating, Luvia and Luvia talked about what happened today. Of course, little Mia also took this opportunity to get her own midnight snack.
The demon's appearance was expected by Shade, and the showdown between the Mirror Hidden Man and him was something he had thought of a few weeks ago. The only surprise today was that he entered the Silver Moon Library again, and the Thirteen Rings
The emergence of soothsayers.
Luvia did not comment much on the space left by the ancient god of the moon. She was more concerned about Laplace Klein Howard, who claimed to be the "chosen one". Shade, who was in a state of overflowing divinity, fought head-on with him.
There was still a long distance between them, but Shade still sensed the situation of the other party:
"He doesn't look like a human, but like some kind of monster with a human appearance. We don't know what he did to himself in the past few hundred years, but since he did human body refining experiments on his descendants, he also
The pile of divination cards in his hand are all sealed with experimental products, so there is no reason for him not to do something about himself."
Speaking of this, Shade actually has a deeper thought. Laplace Klein Howard's release of monsters through divination cards is very similar to his release of "Twin Lovers".
"What I'm sure of is that he became stronger by giving up his human identity."
As she spoke, she scooped out the broth with a spoon and put it into her mouth. The dragon maid was really good at it.
"Beyond the Thirteen Rings? Demigod?"
Luvia pursed her lips and asked, "If this is the case, the situation is worse than expected. As the opponent of the demigod diviner, no one wants to see this situation."
"No. Luvia, you said the evil thing in Pantanal is so powerful, would we call it a demigod?"
The girl with purple eyes understood immediately:
"You're saying that Lapras Klein Howard isn't even necessarily a ring wizard anymore?"
"Yes."
Shade nodded slightly:
"I didn't see his life ring, he just released a card..."
"I know this. The association has recorded his abilities. Before he defected to the association, he had mastered the powerful thaumaturgy of sealing and liberating monsters with divination cards - [Laplace Sealing Technique] during the twelve-level stage before he defected to the association.
This ability is very similar to the angel-level relic of the [Mirror Association] [Fasha's Cursed Mirror] that the doctor mentioned."
Luvia said, and then added:
"Yes, this thaumaturgy is named after him. He combined a variety of high-level thaumaturgy techniques to independently develop the [Laplace Seal Technique]. This man is really a genius. If he hadn't gone on to
If he takes the wrong path, he may become the president of the association in his own time."
What Shade cared about was not the sealing technique itself, but the thought that today was the last day of the month of sowing. After midnight, it was May of 1854, which was traditionally called the "moon of praying for rain."
month.
According to tradition, rainfall in this month has the greatest impact on the autumn grain harvest, so people call this month "praying for rain", which also means looking forward to it.
Of course, Shade does not need to pray for rain. What he cares about is the black time key, which can finally be opened for the second time. At the same time, the brand new time key that the witch just gave him can also be opened in the early morning of tomorrow, Thursday
, that will be a brand new adventure.
"We currently only have one coin in hand, and many issues cannot be predicted. But fortunately, I will be able to harvest some other coins in the near future. By then, I will at least figure out what the combination of the top two space picks is...
...Speaking of which, since the month of praying for rain is coming, Yin Luna’s birthday is also coming soon.”
Luvia, who didn't know what Shade was thinking, said suddenly. Shade, who was trying to feed the diced carrots to little Mia, was startled:
"Birthday? Oh, yes."
The stranger came to this world in June last year, that is, the 22nd day of the Sunshine Moon, and it has been almost a year in the blink of an eye. The year should have cycled to Yin Luna's birthday.
