"I didn't understand from the beginning why you always thought I was weak. I know I performed poorly the last time we went out together, but was that an accident? Do you just not trust me like this?"
The white thunder and lightning only lasted for a moment, and then the eternal darkness submerged the two of them again. The light of that moment was enough for them to see each other's expressions. It was just that Shade had to wait for the rumbling thunder to disappear.
He spoke again:
"No, I trust you very much, that's why I'm worried about you getting hurt again for protecting someone. Last time I was protecting Miss Matilda. This time I'm sure that if I encounter danger, you will definitely be willing to do the same as last time.
Stand up and protect me. But I hope you can be safe."
The witch who originally wanted to continue questioning was speechless. She nodded dully, wondering in her heart what kind of special ability the "witch's words" she saw at the beginning meant for the man in front of her.
Shade once again reached out and touched the sword behind his back. Only when the night watchman was by his side could he feel at ease:
"You don't have to worry about me. You know what I am capable of sometimes. When I encounter danger, I can run faster than anyone else."
"Can you travel long distances in space like Emma?"
The witch then asked.
"For long distances, I can only travel by myself. For short distances, I can take people with me to move through space."
Sensing that there was no church person nearby, Shade prepared the casting materials and stretched out his hand to her. The witch blinked before grabbing his hand. Then she felt a flash in front of her eyes and they stepped back ten meters out of thin air:
"That's pretty much it, so don't worry about me."
After speaking, they took another step forward, and the two came to the window again. Shade let go of her hand, and the blonde witch shook her hand:
"Your talent is really powerful. With seven rings, you can lead people to jump in space, and you can also control time to stop and go backwards. During the Green Lake incident, didn't Vanessa and the others suspect that you were the chosen one in space?"
"Of course I have no doubt. I am not a member of the Edwards family."
Shade said, seeing a ray of light flying into the sky in the rainy night, it should also be the ring warlock of the church.
"You're right. I really don't know where Vanessa found you. You don't look like you are from the Randall Valley."
She said again, and Shade nodded:
"What I said during the card game on Friday is true. I have lived in Tobesk for a long time. I can actually be regarded as a Tobesk person from Delrayon. I have spent most of my life in Tobesk.
Most, and the other fifth, is spent in the Randall River Valley.”
This is no lie. It has been a year since Shade came to this world, and it took more than two months to deal with the Randall Valley incident. At that time, the snowy "Spring City" was beautiful.
Miss Belindell guessed that Shad's real age was around twenty-three or four years old, and then calculated that he was Vanessa Benanis, whom she met four or five years ago:
"A cold boy from the north of seventeen or eighteen years old met a beautiful, mature and charming female opera singer and her group of beautiful girls."
Feeling a little melancholy in his heart, he glanced at the two swords on Shade's back:
"I will listen to your arrangements in a while, and I also hope that you can tell me what you have gained afterwards. But for now, at least let me know what you can rely on? I'm afraid the opponent you will face tonight is better than what we had that night
The ring wizards I encountered were even stronger."
"I rely on this."
He pulled out two pendants from his neck, hurriedly stuffed the witch detection badge with Carina's crest back, and then handed the silver cross to her.
There was a warm temperature remaining on the metal, but what attracted the blonde countess more was the red stone inlaid in the center of the silver cross. There was no light in the room, but the stone still had a luster as warm as blood. I don't know if it was because of the long time.
When it comes into contact with Shade's skin, the human body temperature makes the red stone turn into a flowing liquid as if it has half melted, but if you look closely, it is clearly embedded in the metal and motionless:
"This is, this is"
She didn't actually care much about what it was at first. What she cared about was that Shade was willing to share her secret. But when she took a closer look at the thing in her hand and it overlapped with something recorded in the data in her memory, her eyes widened.
, I once wondered if this was a dream:
"Sage"
"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone."
Shade continued to look outside from the window.
If the remaining traces of the divine war sealed by the gods can be regarded as a "lock", he will definitely not be able to open it even if he has both [Night Watch] and [Yuktrasil's Staff] in his hands in his normal state, so there is
Maybe I encountered an occasion where I used the Philosopher's Stone to cast the "Key to the Door", so I brought it out. If I can really gain divinity this time and really need to use this stone, then even if the Philosopher's Stone is used
No matter how precious it is, it is worth using tonight.
The scarlet stone inlaid in the center of the silver jewelry looks even more intoxicating than the flawless ruby. It looks like a rippling red halo, or like coagulated blood.
Miss Belindel did not speak for a long time because she did not know what to say:
"Is this what Vanessa gave you too?"
"No, an old man with whom I had a fairly good relationship passed away. This is what he left me. Speaking of which, that old man was also a fortune teller. I can tell you his story when I have time."
Shade said without looking back, squinting his eyes and looking at the night sky from the window. It was not only rain, snowflakes, ice particles and other things that were falling now. The lightning flashes across the night sky were more astonishing and rumbling.
The sound even made Sha De feel that the glass in front of him was shaking. The powerful sixth sense was almost telling Sha De that something terrible would happen soon. He felt that his heartbeat was constantly accelerating, and he was also excited.
.
"You know the value of the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
The great witch of fate asked again, looking at the red stone shining seductively in the dark night. For a moment, she even saw her own eyes reflected on the stone, which felt very strange.
"of course I know."
"What are you looking for tonight among the traces of the God War? The value of the Philosopher's Stone far exceeds that of normal sage-level relics, and even the value of most angel-level relics is not as high as it."
"But there are always some things whose value is higher than the Philosopher's Stone. Besides, I don't have to use this tonight. It's just in case."
He turned around and took the cross handed back by Miss Belindel and carefully put it away.
"It was Huang Yue's orb before, and now it's the Philosopher's Stone. I think the sword you're carrying is also a relic, right? You really have a lot of good things in your hands. Vanessa doesn't even have this.
What a practical sage-level relic, right?"
The witch whispered again, but she was not asking Shade, she was just sighing.
Shade did not turn around to look out the window, but smiled and said to her:
"That's why she sent me to Yuewan. She is very confident in my abilities."
The blonde witch nodded slightly, and Shade said again:
"It seems that we have to wait for a while. Miss Belindel, please introduce to me the situation of the local church. I know that in a large diocese like Yuewan, the church must have a large number of ring warlock teams, so how about the number of high ring warlocks?
How is the situation? And who is the thirteen-ring warlock who is resident in the local area?"
The witch, who just now was wondering whether the man in front of her was "richer" than herself, replied:
"I can't give you an accurate answer about the number of local high-level warlocks, but the church's attitude towards Yuewan Parish is the same as towards kings like Willondale and Tobesk. Not only is industry and commerce developed here, it is also an important
The trade and transportation ports in the New World are very important in every aspect. The Church of the Five Gods has many twelve-ring warlocks stationed in the local area. As for the thirteen-ring warlock of the Church of Dawn, it is the 'Glorious Hand' Joshua.
Mr. Brooklyn."
Shade thought for a moment and couldn't find this name in his memory. This meant that this gentleman did not leave the local area to participate in many major events before:
"What is he good at?"
"Like the Great Witch of Light in the Council, he is good at light spells. I once saw him at a banquet. He has black hair and a thin build. He looks like he is in his forties."
She thought for a moment and added:
"I have never heard of him taking action in this area. You know, although the rich Yuewan is not without ring warlocks committing crimes, it has not seen any catastrophic events in the past few hundred years. A battle like this tonight
, it is already a rare local event.”
As the time went on towards midnight, the weather became worse and worse. Shade and Miss Belindel never left the deserted tavern. The witch was wearing a hooded robe tonight, and she seemed to be able to "
Like thaumaturgy like "toy making", he kept taking out different divination items from his robe.
At about half past seven, the witch who performed the third card divination told Shade some important news:
"The dragon has arrived offshore, and there should be a conflict with the church in ten minutes."
"Can you determine what kind of dragon it is now?"
Shade asked again, and the witch went to look at the cards again:
"It still doesn't work. It's not that I can't divine it. It's that I've divined it but can't interpret it. If I haven't seen an elephant, then even if the answer is an elephant, I can't describe it to you. The dragon this time is most likely a product of alchemy or...
New varieties are difficult to describe unless you see them with your own eyes.”
The blood of dragons is quite magical. They can produce offspring with almost any creature. What is even more magical is that the same kind of dragon living in different environments may differentiate into different types after thousands of years. Academics believe that this is the same as dragons.
The source of it is related to the complex color spectrum contained in the concept of "light". It is precisely because of this that almost everyone knows that the complex lineage of existing giant dragons by no means includes all varieties of giant dragons. No one knows when
A dragon that no one knows will jump out of nowhere.
