"Priest, it is difficult to say whether I am a child or not."
Shade answered with a smile. Priest August ignored this sentence, but looked at what Shade was holding. His old face became more wrinkled because of his frowning movements:
"Where did you find this?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the bone, but was stopped by Shade:
"Wait a minute, priest. I can't give you this until your 'vacation' is over."
"I just want to see what's going on with it now, so you don't have to be nervous."
After the priest finished speaking, he touched the bone. There was no sound or light effect after that. Shade also explained what happened just now:
"You also met the nun in Middleburg. She said that her seal was not strong, so I wanted to ask you for help. Otherwise, I shouldn't have disturbed your vacation."
"That nun is so humble. This seal is excellent, but"
Priest August felt it carefully, and he was not afraid of the glimmer of light on his bones:
"If you want to be foolproof, you should give this to me. This is the most active bone I have ever seen. Although I don't know how it was done and whether it is related to the abnormal light on it, except for me, you
There is almost no other way to be 100% insured.”
"almost?"
Shade raised his eyebrows, and the priest nodded and told the truth:
"You can send it to real death, and the power there can definitely suppress any restless death. But the problem is, we don't know whether this layer of light will affect death itself. I can feel this light
Although it is not strong now, its source is quite powerful."
He did not let Shade make a decision directly, but let go of his hand:
"The nun's seal can last at least a week. You can find a safer place to store it first, and then come to me when you have made a decision. I have been in this orphanage."
The hidden space in the basement of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square is a very safe place. Shade is sure that the power of the bones cannot match the statue of the ancient god, but he is worried that the power of the bones will damage other items.
Most of his belongings were stored there.
"Well priest, if I give this to you temporarily, what are you going to do with it?"
Shade thought for a while before asking. Priest August replied without thinking:
"Temporarily imprison it in my body to appease the restless death. This is your thing. Without your permission, I will not absorb its power."
Shade still has considerable trust in the character of Priest Augustus. Hearing what the priest said, he was actually a little moved:
"Then what are you going to do with those lights on the bones?"
Rat August smiled;
"Do you still remember my core spirit rune?"
"Last summer I heard that it was at the doctor's place. There was only one, Enlightenment [Glimmer]. (Chapter 39)"
Shade said, and the priest nodded:
"The power of my own death and the power of the core spirit runes are enough to suppress the light on this bone. However, in this way, my own power level will decline to around the first or second level in a short period of time, and I will not be able to
Use the power of that angel unless I want this bone to go out of control like you describe.
But it doesn’t matter if my strength is temporarily weakened. I still have a lot of alchemy tools in my hand. Besides, I have been in the orphanage and have never encountered situations where I need strength."
The priest is now in the fourth ring, but in Shade's view, the level is not important to him.
"Will it cause your strength to decline? This is not acceptable. Moon Bay is not a safe place now."
Shade immediately shook his head, turned around and was about to leave and think of other solutions, such as shamelessly visiting the "Lady of the Lake" in Huntington City, or directly asking Luvia to divine a solution, but the priest stopped him:
"This time I didn't want to help you directly like Green Lake. You and the doctor all said that I need to heal the gap in my heart. Since I won't help you directly, let me help you."
He pointed to the bone:
"You are in Yuewan. Even if I encounter a big problem, can't I just ask you for help directly?"
"But"
"Detective, this is not your character, or do you think you can't trust me?"
"Of course not, but are you sure it's okay?"
"If you have any problems, it's okay with me."
Seeing how confident Priest August was, Shade finally nodded in agreement. He handed over the bone, then watched Priest August take the shoulder blade and "stuff" it into his chest.
It was not a puncture of flesh and blood, but ripples floating on the surface of the body like water. When the bone completely entered the priest's body and soul, Shade shook hands with Priest August to confirm his condition. "
After she told her that there was no problem, she reluctantly felt relieved:
"This is my contact address. Our fortune teller friend is also here. Please contact me anytime you have time."
This time, Shade no longer gave the address of "Princess Trading Partner", but the address of Belindel Manor.
Priest Augustus, who has been here for half a week, obviously knows what this address means.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked Shade up and down:
"Does the duchess know about this?"
"Yeah, of course I know."
"You still have the means. Wait a minute. Don't leave yet. Since you are here, I will give you some good things."
The old priest left in a hurry, but soon came back and handed a small bottle to Shade:
"I hope useful to you."
The slightly glowing liquid in the bottle was naturally holy water. Shade felt it with his hands and looked at the priest in surprise:
"No. 2 holy water puree? Priest, can you make this level of holy water now?"
The old priest was quite pleased with himself:
"Do you think the skull you found in Green Lake just caused me to have the psychological problems I have now? However, although it is very convenient for me to make Holy Water No. 3, you can get as much as you want, but the production of Holy Water No. 2 is limited by the raw materials.
Due to the limitations of the steps, the output is very low. I came from Tobesk this time, and I brought three bottles that I just made with me. You can take this bottle."
No. 2 holy water puree is a real strategic material. No matter how rich you are, it is impossible to buy it. Just like there have never been sage-level or angel-level relics on the black market, the preciousness of No. 2 holy water is actually very similar. Xia
Although De thought that the priest's "list of goods" would increase a lot after the Green Lake incident, he didn't expect that there would even be such a thing now:
"Then I'll accept it without mercy."
"You're welcome to me, just like I'm not polite to you either."
After bidding farewell to the priest, Shade threw away his glass slipper and returned home to Tobesk.
It's dark at night, and although the mist is still floating in the "Steam City" Tobesk at night, the city is much calmer than Yuewan tonight.
After Shade went upstairs alone, he saw Carina and Dorothy drinking tea and talking about this summer's dresses in a fashion magazine.
Seeing that there was no little Mia beside Shade, Dorothy basically understood:
"Are you going to stay with Luvia tonight?"
"Yes, I'm here to say hello to you. If I don't come back, I'm afraid you will be worried."
Shade said this, quite embarrassed. After all, Dorothy and Carina had been living here recently, but he still wanted to stay outside. He knew that this was wrong.
"Shad probably has some weird thoughts again. You are accompanying Luvia, how can we be angry?"
The red-haired duchess smiled and said:
"Then go quickly. But you came to inform us so late. Something happened again at Moon Bay? But counting the time, Sister Devlin should have arrived at Moon Bay, right?"
Shade then sat down and briefly talked to them about tonight's events. When he talked about Helen and Grace, he even glanced at Dorothy. The writer lady naturally understood what Shade meant:
"Lesia and I won't go to Moon Bay for the time being. We have our own things to do in Tobesk, and under normal circumstances, the two of us can't help you much. As long as I'm here, I can go to the basement and get to Moon Bay immediately.
Bay, so if necessary, we can appear on the battlefield immediately, so there is no rush."
Shade nodded, kissed them goodbye one after another, and then went from the basement to Moon Bay. Of course, when he set off, he had another document bag in his hand, which was promised to him by Old John, [Light-Guiding Hermitage]
】An investigation report on the [Eternal Light] organization in Moon Bay.
Because it was a long detour home, when Shade returned to Belindle Manor, it was already half past nine that night, but the ladies in the manor were still waiting for Shade to return.
Before he arrived at the manor, everyone, including Sister Devlin, was in the study room talking about tonight's events and future plans. The Moon Bay incident has developed to this point and is approaching the final battle. The storm is about to be tense.
Even Agelina can see the atmosphere.
But it was already very late today, so after confirming that Shade had returned safely, the ladies did not gather together to continue talking, but went back to rest.
Sister Devlin has not disclosed her whereabouts to the church yet, so she and the nuns who came to Moon Bay with her also have to live in Belindle Manor.
As a result, the number of rooms in the manor is somewhat limited, but fortunately, there is now a portal in the basement connected to the "Glory Messenger" on the dock, and the "Glory Messenger" can accommodate thousands of passengers.
When Shade just came back, he said that he would spend the night at Belindle Manor, so the countess enthusiastically arranged for Matilda to prepare the room where Shade had slept, as well as pajamas and toiletries.
The countess was talking to Megan in the corridor on the second floor, but she saw her blonde maid coming back soon.
The originally generous head maid pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before telling her master:
"Miss, Mr. Hamilton said there is no need to prepare the room. He will sleep with Miss Anat tonight."
