The battle with the evil god "Dragon Eater" and the subsequent ritual of Iluna cutting off the divine descent with her sword made Sister Devlin realize the violence of the first fire, and this violence was also the creation of the "eldest son" by the ancient god - the Dragon of Glory.
” is one of the raw materials used.
Therefore, because of this realization, Sister Devlin finally gained new power one month after the Battle of Moon Bay, and even Shade's series of flame spells became stronger, such as the one he lost now
Fireballs can produce greater explosive power.
He took the nun's letter as an invitation and visited the sacrificial site on the top of the mountain in the following days. Sister Devlin did not talk much to Shade about Miss Feliana, she was just guiding Shade to change.
To get stronger, and when the two were taking a break during training, Shade looked at the nun with gray hair and an eyepatch sitting on the steps around the altar, always feeling that there were still many things hidden in her heart.
In short, the accident involving the two princes at the beginning of the Harvest Moon seemed to be just an episode in life. After that, even though Shade had been vigilant and inquiring about information through various channels, the time anomaly did not appear again.
.
Therefore, as the harvest month entered the second half, autumn became stronger and the temperature became lower, Shade focused more on his studies in the fall semester and life in Tobesk. Of course,
Occasionally, I would use the news I read in the newspaper to chat with the Duke and Princess about some current affairs topics, but I would just treat it as fun.
The arrival of a three-day continuous autumn rain completely dissipated the little heat this summer. The flowers raised by Luvia on the windowsill at home have gradually passed their flowering period, and Lecia is also making preparations for Shade for the winter.
of burning wood.
"Lecia, do you know Ximu Town? It is now Vista City."
Talking about burning wood, Shade suddenly asked this question, and the princess who was dating Shade at the opera house nodded:
"Of course I know. City of Music, City of Thousand Trees, do you want to use the burning wood over there? No problem, these wood are not subject to the export ban. Come on, don't resist me~"
Little Mia seems to be becoming less and less fond of going out because of the recent cold weather, while Shade, who occasionally takes on some commissions, is still waiting for the most important news, which is the answer to his question from the righteous gods.
As for the "Day of the Red Butterfly" that was originally supposed to be held at the beginning of the Harvest Moon, it has been postponed to the third day of this month because of the continuous experience that Lecia was busy and Dorothy went to attend a writer's gathering in western Delarion.
It won’t be held until Wednesday the 17th.
They were all quite guilty about this, so when the Yodel Palace finally held a formal banquet to celebrate the birth of the twin princes according to custom when the princes were about to be "half a month old", Lesia and Dorothy invited Shade to read in an ingenious way.
The manuscript of "Summer Night Collection".
Although Shade still doesn't know what is written in that collection of essays, this does not prevent him from feeling the fiery passion of the girls.
Because Lesia often saw her mother, Queen Diana, feeding the two princes recently, she quietly sneaked out of the banquet hall with Dorothy during the banquet. When reading Summer Nights with Shade, she also
He explored the issue:
"Come on, Shade, let me hold you, and you can try it too."
"Lesia!"
"Oh, our knight is blushing! Didn't you just kill Dorothy?"
"Lesia!"
This time it was Miss Writer who protested.
In short, life seemed to be calmer from now on. Even the girls who spent the night at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square felt that Shade had gradually adapted to such a slow pace of life.
But on the day after the Red Butterfly Day, which was Thursday, the 18th day of the Harvest Moon, an unexpected visitor visited Shade on time.
After yesterday's banquet, Lesia, who was reluctant to leave Shade's arms, quietly left Yodel Palace with Dorothy and continued to spend their night at Shade's house.
Probably because the Red Butterfly Day lasted a little too long, the princess and the writer, who were too eager for warmth, accidentally failed to control themselves. As a result, when they finally fell asleep in a drowsy state, the sky outside the bedroom
It was actually already dark.
In this case, they didn't plan to have breakfast, so they planned to sleep in Shade's bedroom until noon. So although there were three people at home that morning, Shade and the cat had breakfast together in the end.
This was Shade's first time making breakfast by himself after a long absence. Fortunately, little Mia didn't mind Shade's craftsmanship.
Because he received a letter from Old John during breakfast, after saying goodbye to the sleeping girls in a low voice, Shade went to the pawn shop with an umbrella early in the morning.
It is always rainy in the autumn in Tobesk. Before entering the pawn shop, he carefully rubbed the soles of his shoes on the insoles.
"Good morning, detective, everything you asked for is in stock."
At the counter early in the morning, the old man behind the counter was also very energetic:
"Coins, keys, and relics that increase luck are all here."
The punishment of not being able to use the normal time key for one and a half months will officially end tomorrow, so Shade really needs the next time key. As for the special coins and relics that increase luck, they are purely the results of long-term acquisitions.
[Time Key] Old John gave it directly to Shade. The price of this kind of relic is relatively fixed and there is no need for him to make a special introduction.
But this coin is very interesting because it is related to time:
"During this period, we were collecting time-related anomalies. It happened that my old friend said that he had this in his hand, so I bought it. Detective, the price of this coin is not cheap, but I believe you will be interested."
He pushed a palm-sized rice bag to Shade. Lying in the brown rice was the coin. The diameter of the coin was about the same as a fingernail, but it was made of wood.
Shade had never seen a coin made of wood. After all, wood was too easily damaged compared to metal.
The thickness of the coin is much thicker than that of ordinary metal coins. The surface of this coin has been carefully ground, polished and painted, so it shows a dark brown patina.
On one side of the coin, the ancient rune "1" is written in the center, surrounded and surrounded by dense tree branches; on the other side of the coin, there are three overlapping oval dials, large, medium and small. The centers are not overlapping, but
The edges overlap, roughly showing a triangular distribution.
After getting permission, Shade took the coin in his hand and played with it carefully, and then discovered that it was quite light. There was a circle of runes engraved on the side of the coin in ancient Elvish language. Even without "literacy", Shade could easily translate them.
come out:
【This is a stolen second.】
Old John introduced:
"The Keeper-level relic [instant], when a coin is thrown, time is paused for one second. However, by pausing time in this way, the person who tosses the coin cannot change the state of any entity other than himself within this second, or the state of non-entity or
nature.
To put it simply, using this kind of relic to pause time cannot interfere with the outside world. But in terms of actual combat value, one second of dodging or moving forward can also play a decisive role.
In short, you have to understand that relics involving the power of time are always very expensive, let alone such relics that suspend time."
“What about the negative traits?”
Shade asked again, and Old John asked:
"Do you still remember the characteristics of the [Sands of Time], which is also a Keeper of Secrets class?"
"Of course, remember, it will slightly affect the time flow rate in the nearby area."
"Yes, and this coin is of the same level as the Sands of Time. It's just because the cost of using it is a bit high, so it won't be used easily.
The first negative characteristic is that the user ages 5 years; the second negative characteristic is that it is not recommended for ring warlocks other than the [Time] spirit rune to use, otherwise there is a 37% chance of disappearing. According to research, this is because
The coin is out of control and the time pause cannot be lifted. The user is eternally stagnant at that moment, so they no longer exist on the timeline after that moment."
“Isn’t the price a bit exaggerated?”
Although Shade has money, he will never spend it carelessly.
The old man behind the counter wagged his finger:
"Do you know the origin of this rare relic? Only in those time-disordered areas, because a large amount of 'time' is lost, can the concept be condensed into coins. And because the concept of this kind of item itself has been defined as a [relic], so they
Only then will it become what it is in your hands.
Speaking of which, I’m curious, wasn’t this kind of thing found in the Yodel Palace earlier this month?”
"Oh, Father John, please don't test me. I really don't know what happened at that time. Just 700 pounds. Anyway, you all say that I am completely hooked on Miss Carina. This can't be your bargaining strategy."
Bar?"
"Don't talk nonsense, and your meeting with the duchess is not a rumor but a fact. Otherwise, why were you there when the royal family took a group photo? I saw the photo in the newspaper this morning. The royal family was there last night.
When we took a group photo at Yodel Palace, half of the face on the left side was exposed, do you dare to say it’s not you?”
Shade really couldn't explain this problem.
As for the items used to increase luck, it is the relic derivative [Lucky Soy Milk].
This derivative is produced from an angel-level relic called the [Golden Cow]. This special creature that can directly influence destiny is even rarer than the simple alien creature "Golden Sheep". Under different moon phases, [Golden Sheep]
Cows] can produce milk with different effects, including not only [lucky soy milk], but also [bad luck soy milk].
"I have no doubts about this relic derivative. I'm just curious, why is the milk produced by cows called 'soy milk'?"
Shade still maintained sufficient curiosity, and Father John explained:
"Because according to people who have drunk this milk, it simply tastes like soy milk.
Remember that it needs to be refrigerated and is valid for three months. The production time of this [Lucky Soy Milk] was last Wednesday. It is best not to drink two consecutive servings of [Lucky Soy Milk] within a year, so if someone offers you another serving
, remember not to drink randomly, otherwise your luck will be reversed."
