Luvia's footsteps gradually faded away, but Shade, who was sitting in the room, did not pick up the tea cup, but looked down at the orange cat.
He did not forget that the night before yesterday, the cat absorbed some divine power and transformed back into a cat body without having to break the curse on its own. Luvia said that there was nothing wrong with the cat, and Shade also thought that it might be him.
While he was in a coma, he unknowingly performed a thaumaturgy on the cat, but he was always cautious.
"Meow~"
Seeing that Shade didn't move, the lying cat raised its head and looked at him.
Shade was pretty sure that the cat he adopted was an ordinary cat, at least that was the case a few days ago. What he was worried about now was not that the cat would break the curse on its own, but that after absorbing a trace of divine power, the cat would become
It's extraordinary.
Although there are no such examples in modern times, in ancient myths and legends, there are often stories of mortal beings receiving the power of gods to change their own existence.
Even though it is just a story, it is not without reference significance. Apart from breaking the curse and turning back into a cat, Mia has not shown any other special features so far. Even if Shade comes into direct contact with it, the woman in his heart cannot sense it.
Discover the strangeness of this cat.
"If you are willing to talk to me, I will take you to eat something good at noon today."
He suddenly whispered to the cat.
"Meow?"
The cat, which had already stood up, meowed inexplicably, then rubbed its furry face with its right front paw, without any intention of speaking humanly.
So Shade was relieved. Although there were some doubts about the transformation from a rag doll to a cat, overall, this was still an ordinary domestic kitten.
"Meow~"
Little Mia screamed, as if urging Shade to prepare lunch as soon as possible. Shade thought that maybe he could spend money to "take this cat as his own" from Miss Mia Gold.
He swore that this idea had not been planned for a long time, but had just appeared.
Possessing other people's pets is not a righteous act.
The woman's voice said with a smile in his ear, and Shade also stood up:
"I didn't say I had to be a good person. And I didn't say I wouldn't spend money to wait for Miss Gothe to send a letter next time. She said she would send a letter once a month. Maybe I can pry next time.
Her tone."
Shade did not leave the Prophet's Association immediately. Instead, he returned to the reception desk on the first floor and asked the receptionist whether Mr. Cyndia Mark, the vice president of the association, was there.
After waiting for a few minutes, I saw Mr. Mark walking down the stairs and being very enthusiastic towards Shade:
"Oh, Mr. Hamilton, long time no see. Are you interested in the divination activity I mentioned last time? Or maybe you want to know about the Rhodes Competition. In fact, before the 'Big City Players', there were many amateur level players in the Tobesk area.
Rhodes Card Competition. Recently, the news about Founder Silver Moon has spread, but many people have mentioned to me that they want to invite the owner of that card to play cards."
He shook hands with Shade warmly. Shade looked around, and while walking up the stairs with Mr. Mark, he lowered his voice and whispered:
"Please hold the handrail of the stairs before I speak."
"What?"
Although he didn’t understand why, the middle-aged man still smiled and followed the instructions:
"Look, I've fixed it. What exciting news is this?"
"I want to identify a Rhodes card, a very old Rhodes card."
Shade said, and the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows:
"No problem, can I take a look at which one it is first?"
When Shade saw that there was no one up and down the stairs, he covered himself with his coat, took out the cards and gave them to him.
The middle-aged man was amused by Shade's actions, but he still kept one hand on the handrail of the stairs and looked down with a smile:
"It's not that I'm immodest, but I can bet that I recognize any special Rhodes card surface that is released publicly."
"You definitely recognize this one, because"
"Oh, my God!"
The middle-aged man was holding on to the stairs and couldn't help but gasp for air conditioning. Shade saw the look of shock on his face, which was pretty much what Shade expected.
The foreigner said rather melancholy:
"You definitely know this one, because the card face of Founding and Balance is hanging on the first floor of the association. How long will this appraisal take? I have something else to do in the afternoon."
Mr. Mark had no reaction. He looked at the cards in his hand blankly and asked after a long time:
"Sorry, what did you say?"
"I said, I like Rhodes cards very much."
Shade hugged the cat and joked.
He did not waste too much time in the Prophet's Association. He traveled here from the Principality of Ragson in the United Kingdom of Kasenlik more than half a month ago. The old appraisers who appraised the founder Silver Moon have not left yet. They will be here in one and a half months.
He will act as an appraiser in the future "Big City Players" Rhodes Card Competition. Therefore, Shade will come again tomorrow with the cards to know whether Founding and Balance is real.
In fact, he knew very well that this card was absolutely real.
After leaving the Prophet's Association, the next stop is to find Priest August.
Next week is the fourth week of this month, which not only means exam week, but also means the approach of the Feast of Holy Prayer. In addition, Dawn Church also has to deal with the follow-up to the Divine Advent incident. Even if the doctor has time to hold a study meeting this week,
I guess the priest didn't have time to attend.
They met at the door of Dawn Church. Priest Augustus looked a lot more haggard, but he was still so energetic:
"Shad, good afternoon. I'm relieved to see that you're okay. What happened on Thursday night was really terrible. I wanted to send a letter to ask if you are safe, but I'm worried that Ridwich Stadium will check the recent visits in the city.
Letter. May God bless everyone!”
The old priest carefully drew the Holy Emblem on his chest and made a prayer gesture. He was a very kind man. Shade thought for a moment, reached into his pocket, grabbed about 10 pounds of banknotes and gave it to the priest:
"Donate this to the church for me as my donation for the Feast of Holy Prayer. If you have any holiday souvenirs, don't forget to leave a copy for me. I plan to put it at home."
When he threw money from the window in the morning, Shade would certainly not be stupid enough not to leave a share for himself and the doctor. Each of them got 50 pounds. Shade felt that after what happened on Thursday, he might need some luck recently, so he
I will think of donating on the spur of the moment.
"No problem, I will save a copy for you if you have any commemorations. However, Bishop Ou seems to want you to participate in activities as a representative of believers on Holy Prayer Day. Are you interested?"
the priest asked while counting the handful of money that Shadesai had brought over.
Shade thought for a while:
"Tell me when you have a specific time. I will definitely come when I have time, priest."
"What's wrong? What do you want to ask?"
The old man asked curiously.
“About Thursday’s God”
"It cannot be said or said."
The priest shook his head quickly:
"That's not something that mortals should know, so don't ask any more questions. Fortunately, none of us were involved. I originally thought that Bill's bad luck would definitely be related to this matter. Fortunately, he was only with the cultists.
They got to know the body they chose, rather than being directly invited to the party.”
"Um"
Shade thought for a moment and noticed the cat's tail touching his chin. When he reached out to touch the cat on his shoulder, he decided not to refute Priest August's idea.
"Also, did everything go well this morning? I've heard that the Chief Constable of Rydwich Field was shot dead in his lover's house."
The old priest inquired again.
"Of course it went well, but if we take the risk to do this again after Thursday, it will definitely attract the attention of the church, so we have to be more calm in the past few days."
"Just understand. Although the people you kill are bad people and the things you do are not bad people, you must be careful about your words and deeds, always judge your own actions, and never let the darkness in your heart swallow you up."
Priest August always likes to regard people as creatures who make the worst choices, so he will think about the worst side of human nature no matter what happens. This behavior is not directed at Shad, his behavior is directed at everyone.
Miss Louisa mentioned that this is related to the priest's life experience. He has been listening to the confessions of believers in the church all year round, and has seen and heard too many things.
Afterwards, Shade also entrusted priests to help find information about the Old God's Transformation Gate, and of course Priest August agreed.
Just at this time, a middle-aged man who looked as haggard as Priest August came over to talk to the priest, seemingly wanting to find out whether there were small finger-sized puppets as a commemoration of the Feast of Holy Prayer. Shade met August
The priest was busy, so he said goodbye and left.
The final destination was Quill Street in the University District. When the carriage stopped below the apartment where Miss Louisa rented, Shade thought that it was lunch time. And when he saw the blond female writer on the third floor, he almost
After seeing so many things in the sky, Xia De found that he missed the girl in front of him very much.
"What's the matter with your look?"
Miss Louisa asked Shade to sit down, and when she saw him putting Mia on the sofa and the small cat sniffing everywhere with its nose raised, she joked again:
"You came to my place at exactly twelve o'clock. Don't you want to have lunch with me?"
"You haven't eaten either? That's just in time. Let's go out to eat. This morning, the doctor and I made a fortune together. This time I'll treat you."
"I'm getting more and more suspicious that you came here at this time just to have dinner with me."
The blonde's smile grew wider, but judging from the way she got up to change clothes, she must have agreed to Shade's invitation.
On the way out for dinner together, Shade told Miss Louisa that he had been promoted to the second ring. Of course Miss Louisa was happy about this, and then they discussed the matter of the divine arrival on Thursday night in a cautious manner.
She was sleeping that night, so she fell into a coma in the blood mist after the gods descended. When she woke up the next day, the incident was already over, so she knew almost nothing about what happened that night.
After getting more detailed information from Shade, she couldn't help but sigh that such a terrible thing had happened in the city where she lived. Then the topic changed, and Dorothy Louisa asked Xiang who was feeding the cat.
Shad.
The orange cat Mia sat obediently on the extra chair prepared in the restaurant, raising her head and squinting to accept the bread that Shade tore up and handed to her.
"Xia De, if it is convenient now, please take out two leaves of youth and let me take a look."
"Why?"
"I want to judge whether this matter is related to you based on the consumption of leaves."
