"So, no need to bother with the tree, Hoy Manor and the Conde family, right? It seems too deliberate."
"No, no, detective."
The doctor shook his head again:
"It just wants you to think this way, because normal people will think this way. So, its real purpose is still here."
Shade was too lazy to ask the doctor what to do if the devil thought the same way:
"So doctor, what do you think the demon is going to do? If it just likes to set things on fire, then if it failed to set fire to Hoy Manor tonight, does that mean it will set fire to it again?"
"It is destined that the manor was burned down by fire. There is no need to doubt that. I was just thinking."
The doctor pondered for a moment:
"Detective, go and check the bodies of the Hoy family who were burned to death three hundred years ago. Since the Hoy family was most likely to have had an affair with the devil back then, go and find the bodies and bring them to me. Even if their souls have been possessed by the devil.
Even if they are taken away, I can still make them speak."
Shade nodded, Miss Bell was still investigating the matter:
"There may not be any results. Since the Nature Church has dealt with the demons back then, those corpses that may be related to the demons have most likely been treated harmlessly by the Church, but I can try to find them.
So should you keep this flame or should I take it away, or can you make it into a tool for tracking demons?"
The doctor shook his head:
"This is just part of the devil's power. What I need is its essence. Take it away. Doesn't your nun friend like special flames? Oh, and also, if the devil really takes away part of the original
Fire, couldn't your nun friend trace it accordingly?"
"I can't contact Sister Devlin for the time being. She told other nuns that she wanted to do some strength training, so she temporarily left the sacrificial site and she hasn't come back yet."
"Then we have to rely on ourselves. It doesn't matter if we can't find the body. The demon of fire, Dizast, is not a very powerful evil spirit. Compared with those we have dealt with in the past, it can only be regarded as having some special abilities.
.
Give me a few days to prepare. After I arrive at the Vista Grove, I can directly sense it. But its clone ability is a bit tricky, so detective, if possible, you still need to try to detect its possible traces.
.”
It was already after nine o'clock in the evening when I got home from the doctor. Carina was rarely absent that night, and Vanessa also didn't come to visit because of the theater troupe's performance, so the warm yellow gas light at home was waiting for Xia Xia.
Only Luvia and Dorothy came back.
It is worth mentioning that the fortune teller's autumn astrology work has basically been completed, or the data has been collected, and she only needs to write a final report and submit it.
So after Shade came home that night, Luvia mentioned in front of Dorothy that she would move back to the apartment next week.
Of course Miss Writer knew what she meant. Although everyone knew that Luvia had a special status in Shade's heart, and she was indeed the first to strike and succeed, Luvia herself did not want to show this. Since she had already obtained
There is no need to show off everything, but we should maintain unity more.
Dorothy then took Luvia's hand and said:
"Luvia, in fact, it would be good for you to live directly here in Shade from now on. I think everyone will have no objection, and it is also very close to the Prophet Association. Judging from the current situation, Shade comes from Vista Woodland
The information obtained will be communicated with you every day.
I think instead of Shade running to find you every day, it would be better for you to live here directly."
The fortune teller girl immediately shook her head:
"This is not okay, it is not fair to other people, and I get along with Shade every night, you will definitely have opinions; but if I live here and don't get along with Shade, I can only listen to your voices, I
You will have your own opinions."
Then the writer lady laughed, and asked Shade, who was playing with the cat and listening to their conversation:
"Xia De, don't pretend it doesn't exist over there. What do you think about this?"
"Luvia, until the matter in Vista Grove is over, you should live here first."
Shade said that of course he was aware of the subtle relationships between girls. Since he had offended so many people, he naturally had to carefully handle family relationships:
"What Dorothy said makes sense. Too many things have happened recently, and I can't go to the Prophets Association to discuss it with you every day. As for you coming to see me here after get off work every day, it's better to live here directly. Live temporarily. Well, as for things at night, I will convince them to use the Silence Charm."
Carina didn't like to cast the Silence Charm because she wanted to show off, but Lecia did it because it felt more exciting, especially when Luvia was at home. Dorothy could be regarded as Lecia, but Shade thought she was actually just using Lecia.
Ya made an excuse, and she liked it very much. As for Vanessa, no one seemed to remind her to use the Silence Charm, so Shade didn't know whether she really didn't realize it or didn't like it.
Luvia patted Shade lightly and said angrily:
"I understand, I will stay here first, but I will move out later. I hope my colleagues in the association will not spread the gossip too much. Tonight belongs to you, Dorothy, and I will abide by the rules of the family.
"
As she said this, she stood up from the sofa. Since she was going to stay here for a while, she could take out the astrology equipment that she had put away temporarily. Although the college's autumn astrology activities were over, she also needed to observe the stars.
But the blond writer lady held her hand with a smile in her eyes:
"What are the rules at home? Let's rest together tonight."
As he spoke, he looked at Shade:
"Our knight has become more and more powerful recently. I feel like he is hinting that we should come together."
"Dorothy, I object to your conjecture."
Shade said immediately, putting the cat on his lap who was used to not being able to sleep in the bedroom every Saturday:
"But to be honest, Luvia, I do like it when you sleep on either side of me. This is a sentence I read from Dorothy's "The Scandal of Beldran".
This is what the detective said to his friend, the writer, and the actress and thief who appeared in that story."
Dorothy blushed for a moment. The heroine, Miss Writer, in "Hamilton's Detective Stories" was actually based on her. She did not shy away from her relationship with Shade in real life, but she did not shy away from what she wrote.
Being mentioned still made her feel quite ashamed.
Then Luvia smiled and joked:
"I remember this plot, but how do I remember that after the detective in the story said such words, he was immediately slapped by the writer lady, and then until the end of the next story "The Fall of Nolan Falls", the writer
Are you reluctantly willing to talk to the detective in the story?"
"Oh, Luvia, stop talking."
The blond writer covering his face immediately said, and Luvia smiled even more happily:
"It's true, Shade. I remember when I first met you, you would blush even if I got a little closer to you. Well, Dorothy, didn't you say that some of your new abilities can be used beyond Lesia?
Have you tried it on anyone else? I also want to try your and Lesia's method."
So that night, little Mia slept in the closet in the bedroom again. Shade also thoughtfully hung a muting charm on the handle of the closet to prevent disturbing the cat's rest.
And Luvia, just as she hoped, really tried the effect of the new abilities Dorothy and Lesia obtained after improving their space power. The space chosen ones are four people in one. If Grace and Lesia are
Helen is extremely good at large-scale spatial manipulation because of her tyrannical strength, while the writer and the princess are good at fine spatial adjustments.
The purple-eyed fortune teller was full of praise for the idea of stably and safely generating "space gates" in the human body:
"If it was just between you and Lesia, this can only be regarded as your special talent. But now, with permission, you can create a space gate in the body of a third party at close range, which fully illustrates your talent.
Talent. This can actually be regarded as a therapeutic ability, which is probably what a traceless surgical operation is."
She was even more shocked and admired at Dorothy's idea of using the principle of "opening a portal to retrieve objects from the air" to temporarily let her hands and legs enter other spaces to achieve her own "lightweight" and "simplification":
"I'm not sure how you came up with this idea, but if you can control your own space to this extent, I probably understand where your and Lesia's talents lie."
"Please don't get me wrong, this is not my idea, nor Lesia's! I know Lesia, and I will explain it to you - it was Lesia's inspiration from Agelina's book.
Yes, and Shade’s Pink Book!”
Even though she was still being hugged by Shade, the sweaty blond girl still had to defend herself. Then in order to prevent Luvia from asking "why did I read those books carefully after Lesia confiscated them?", she immediately launched herself again
ability.
"Oh~"
Luvia, who was lying aside to rest temporarily, covered herself:
"Dorothy!"
Then she pounced on the mischievous blonde, who luckily couldn't move at all.
Therefore, as the first two girls who appeared next to Shade besides Iluna, Luvia and Dorothy have a really good relationship. Shade has been committed to maintaining the harmony of this increasingly large family, but it seems that
It seems that he is not alone in realizing the importance of family harmony.
【So, how many people will your extended family have in the end?】
"Didn't you say you wouldn't speak at a time like this?"
"She" smiled softly, "she" knew best what Xade was thinking.
