Although Miss Belindel seemed to have a special reaction to Luvia's purple eyes, she did not refuse to divine those letters with Luvia afterwards.
Of course, she did not use Shade's statement, that is, "Luvia assists you", but claimed that this was a collaboration between two diviners.
Shade didn't know much about diviners and couldn't help much, so he didn't participate in their final preparations. But at least the result of this matter was very good. The great witch of fate joined forces with Luvia,
I really saw something in those letters.
Everyone discussed this matter at the lunch table that day. When she sat down at the long table in her restaurant, Miss Belindel glanced at Shade and Luvia, only to find that Shade was busy controlling them.
The cat was sitting there, while Luvia was greeting the little unicorn.
"Relic."
The answer given by Luvia is clear:
"Those letters come from fate-type relics. Bella's crystal ball showed signs before it exploded. We determined that the vague pattern represents a 'sage-level relic'."
"Sage level (level 2)?"
The elf girl frowned:
"The relic that I met in Tobesk and sent me a letter is not at the sage level, but it is already very troublesome."
Shade was surprised that Luvia actually called the witch by her name, but the countess didn't show any surprise at all:
"Luvia and I are also surprised by this result. I have lived in Yuewan for so many years, and the total number of sage-level and angel-level relics I have encountered since childhood is not more than this month."
"What kind of relic is it specifically? It just has the characteristics of sending a letter. I can't think of what it is specifically."
Miss Aurora also asked, and the countess shook her head:
"For angel-level or sage-level relics related to the power of destiny, it is impossible for the two of us to see what the other person is. But Luvia was really helpful. We got three tips. Shade, you
Follow these tips to investigate."
She also called Luvia by her name. Shade looked at the purple-eyed fortune teller, who smiled at Shade:
"The first one comes from the information that my obsidian pendulum pendant pointed out on the Ouija board: monsters that suck blood will die in the night. I also saw some blurry pictures at the time, and Tifa drew pictures based on my dictation
Coming down."
"it's here."
The black-haired maid unfolded the oil painting she drew at the dining table. Everyone frowned at the woman outlined in blood in the painting. This was an obvious ominous sign.
"Tifa, your drawing skills are really good. But what does that sword mean? If I am thinking correctly, Luvia's Ouija board should mean that Lady Jude will be killed by the person who sent the letter at night.
Something kills?”
Shade asked, and the Countess nodded:
"Yes, and this is something that will happen in the near future. The second clue comes from my [Special Painting Divination Card] and the Dip Pen provided by Luvia: We saw a painting, a barn,
Blood, clouds covered the moon."
She handed the divination card with a special picture to Shade. It was painted directly with the dip pen, but the color was quite full, and the dark tones made the exterior of the barn in the picture very detailed.
"Is this pointing to a real location?"
Agelina on the side asked curiously:
"I heard that fortune tellers can directly find the corresponding location by relying on photos and drawings of real places."
Miss Swift corrected with a smile:
"The location divined by this kind of relic divination card is just an image and not a reality. Agelina, remember, divination will not directly give exact information. That is not divination, that is omniscience."
Here Agelina is just an ordinary follower of the witch, or a "family member" of Shade, so no one will call her "Your Highness".
"The barn could be the murder site."
Shade nodded:
"Where's the last message?"
"The unjust will surely die."
Luvia said, and Miss Belindel nodded:
"This is the last message before the ritual matrix was burned down, pointing to the characteristics of the relic."
"What kind of characteristic is this?"
Miss Aurora raised her eyebrows, but Shade thought of more things after frowning:
"Is it a fool to pursue justice paranoidly?"
He was not asking others to answer this question, but he felt that he finally knew what "desire" wanted to solve by himself.
Shade still lacks other clues, so he plans to start the investigation after meeting Mr. Bernhardt tomorrow morning. If this matter is really related to what "Desire" asked him to do, then he must handle it more carefully.
.
That "Madeline's Love" involves the former followers of the "Mermaid", so if the relics sent in the letter are related to "Madeline", he might know something about "Desire" that Shade doesn't know.
.
Shade had been in Moon Bay all afternoon. He originally planned to go around the city, not only to see the situation of the city after the disaster, but also to relax and think about the conversation in his dream last night.
But before he could leave the manor, Miss Benenice hurried over in a carriage. She pulled Shade's sleeve and pulled him to a remote part of the corridor on the second floor:
"I also saw the pattern that you asked us to investigate before you left yesterday. Shade, are you sure that the pattern is what you took out?"
She was referring to the pattern on the mouth "door" of the giant human head that Shade and Granny Siam Nord went to in the adventure of "Golden Sand Sea".
Shade nodded in surprise:
"At least that's what people told me, what, is there a problem?"
"I am the witch of the earth. I inherit not only power, but also some secret knowledge that belongs to this seat that no one else knows. Yes, neither Megan nor Audrey, the 'secretkeepers' of the parliament, know about it.
"
The blond female opera singer frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about how to express:
"If you can, Shade, I don't want you to go behind that door."
"But Miss Benanis, you know, there is no way I won't go. This is an adventure of time, a task given to me by the Tree Father. Although the Tree Father will not have any punishment for failing the task such as 'erasing', I
You can't really think that Father Tree's preference for me is unreasonable. Besides, there are three ladies who need my help, and I promise them that I will help them."
Shade leaned against the wall of the corridor and saw the witch pouting slightly and her golden eyes looking dissatisfied:
"Xia De, call me another name."
"Okay, Vanessa, you know, there's no way I'm not going."
Then she nodded:
"You will call me this from now on, both of us. You actually call me by my last name."
She moved slightly closer to Shade, with a very gentle expression in her golden eyes:
"I know you won't give up, you always do, so just listen to me -
Even the witch of the earth cannot purify all the filth. As early as before the Sixth Era, there were many areas in the material world that were considered never to return to normal. Not only the changes in the land caused by the distortion of the earth like the Randall Valley;
There are changes in the earth caused by evil objects, relics and even gods.
The witches of the earth have the responsibility of monitoring the earth in the fifth era. If they encounter a similar dangerous area, they need to use the power of the parliament to seal it or completely separate it from the material world. According to records, this does not require the assistance of other witches. It seems that
It’s very easy to operate.”
She paused briefly:
"Of course, in the sixth era, I didn't have such a powerful ability."
After all, the [Witches Council] in the Sixth Age is also in decline, and the great witches are not powerful enough, so some of the functions of the council are not open to them.
"So you are saying that behind the pattern I drew is actually the contaminated area sealed by a certain earth witch?"
Shade asked. None of the ladies he met in this adventure were the Great Witches of the Council, so it was normal not to know them. Of course, Miss Meister must have known them, but she just didn't say anything.
"Yes, it can be considered dangerous by those earth witches who are at least thirteenth level. I can't imagine what will happen next. But since it's useless to stop you, I'll tell you how to open the seal."
She took out her small notebook from her pocket and opened the one with the abstract pattern:
"Although it is a seal, because you may need to go in and out in the future, this seal is definitely not impossible to open. The witches of the earth can open the seal by themselves, but I cannot follow you."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips:
"As for other means, different methods need to be used for different seals. Generally speaking, the power of the ancient gods is needed as a key to unlock this type of seal. Don't think this is an exaggeration. The places that can be sealed must be unusual.
As for the seal you drew, judging from the shape, the corresponding keys require four keys to take effect: sun, light, moon, and earth."
"Is it a magical item that contains the power of these four ancient gods?"
"It doesn't have to be a magical item, it can also be a symbol."
As he said that, he took out a small cat-shaped clay statue from his pocket and gave it to Shade:
"Take this. I made it with my own power. It can be used to represent the earth. This way there is no need to waste the Holy Grail, and there is no need to go to the 'Guardians' to ask for the fragments of the Heart of the Earth."
Shade looked at her, and the witch looked at him:
"Why, what do you mean by looking at me like this?"
The little finger painted with red nail polish hooked the broken hair beside his ear, and then slowly brought his face closer to Shade:
"If you dare to say thank you, I will definitely make you look good, Shade."
"Yes, Benani Vanessa, can I express my gratitude with a kiss?"
She was satisfied when she heard Shade call her name, then she smiled and put her arms around Shade's neck and pushed him down against the wall:
