"I didn't expect that the fairy tale "Tree Kiss" actually has this meaning, but this is bad news."
Dorothy covered her forehead in frustration, then raised her head to look at the glowing rune:
"When I asked you to choose "Tree Kiss" to study, I hoped that you could obtain the spiritual runes related to [Nature], not the story itself. "Tree Kiss" only understands its own meaning, and it is indeed not specific and complicated.
, but the problem is that this spiritual rune points to a specific story. Shade, it is difficult for you to find the thaumaturgy corresponding to [Tree Kiss]."
This was indeed a problem. Even without searching, Shade could still imagine how rare this kind of spiritual rune was. He even suspected that no one except him could obtain this kind of spiritual rune.
"I want to go to the Black Raven Library to try my luck first, and then ask Lesia to inquire through Zarath Academy of Literature. After all, they are good at spells and thaumaturgy. The librarian Miss Danister and I
The relationship is also good, you can also look for it from St. Byrons.”
"No, you don't want to ask in the college library, it will arouse suspicion. I will ask, after all, I am a ring warlock who mainly focuses on enlightenment elements."
Dorothy said, giving Shad advice:
"There is probably no thaumaturgy that directly corresponds to [Tree Kiss], but there may be other spiritual runes related to this story that you can learn... However, our courses will change the subject again in the future.
.This time, let’s target the [Sleeping] Spirit Rune. After all, you already have two of the second-level ones, and the Spirit Runes needed for [The Reverberation of Time and Space to Shake the Power of Sleeping] must also be arranged on the schedule.”
Princess Lesia's low-level words of sublimation are related to the sleeping princess, so they should be very good at this.
"Why don't I have such luck as you? I have a fateful connection with fairy tales. Every link can correspond to a story."
The blonde girl murmured in a low voice, then tilted her head and smiled at Shade, not knowing what she was thinking of.
Compared with other things encountered yesterday, [Tree Kiss] is actually not a big deal. After all, even if the spiritual runes are not related to thaumaturgy, it doesn't matter at all. This does not affect Shade's power.
Although Dorothy could not fully listen to Shade's story about gods and gods, she provided the parchment she bought at the opera house last time, coupled with ink mixed with the blood of deep-sea whales, so that Shade could use [Happiness]
The dream pen] was used as a stationery to write down the story.
In this way, Dorothy can slowly interpret the stories written by Shade, just like those obscure and twisted stories. When Shade finished writing the last letter, it suddenly occurred to him that maybe those stories that carry power,
This is how it was originally written.
After handing a piece of [Eternal Youth Leaf] to Dorothy, and then leaving the [Metamorphosis Ring] to her to tease the cat, Shade entered the basement and set off again.
It was still raining in Coldwater Port on Monday. Compared to Tobesk, the seaport city gets more rain in the summer.
He climbed out of the sea still wet, but this time he did not go to the Golden Rose Hotel. Lecia had arranged a carriage and was waiting for Shade in the alley near the dock. The carriage took him directly to Sophia's mansion.
"Lecia, is this the sixth era?"
This was the first thing Shade asked after washing up when he saw Lesia in the study.
"Of course, otherwise what time would it be... Oh, Shade, are you out of control?"
The princess sat behind the desk, her reaction was exactly the same as Dorothy's. It was raining heavily outside, and it was a bit cold in the slightly empty study room.
"Of course I didn't lose control. I'm very good."
Shade shook his head.
The maid brought a chair from behind, and Shade sat at the desk.
"Oh, Lesia, I recently thought of an interesting question. St. Byrons is in the far north, and Serkses Medical School is under the sea. So where is the Zalas School of Liberal Arts?"
He asked as he sat down. The reason why he didn't ask Dorothy directly was because it was the princess's secret.
"I can't tell you the specific location. I signed a confidentiality agreement. But the general location can be said to be here."
She pointed to the sky.
"Cloud?"
"Of course it's impossible."
"Floating City?"
"This is what you guessed, not what I said."
The red-haired girl smiled.
Xia De knew the answer, so he didn't ask more carefully. He sighed in his heart at the unusual locations of the three major colleges. After thinking about it, he took out the pocket watch soaked in water from his pocket. Now there were two leaves in the pocket watch. Xia De will
One piece was handed to the princess, who of course knew what it was. She put down the teacup she had just picked up and looked at Shade in surprise:
"I heard from Dorothy that you have traveled through time again. But are you sure you want to lend this to me and not to Dorothy?"
She picked up the leaf and twisted the stem to make it spin before her eyes.
"I got two pieces this time, and I gave her the other piece in the morning."
Shade said, and then saw a copy of "Steambird Daily" lying next to the princess. It seemed that even in Coldwater Port, Lesia still cared about Dorothy's serial novels.
"Already given it to her..."
The red-haired girl murmured quietly and put the leaf aside.
"Oh, there is another gift for you. This is a gift to thank you for helping me search for the survivors of the pirate ship."
Shade took out another thing from his pocket and put it on the table. It was a ruby earring. It was not a fake gem from a souvenir shop, but a real gem. The earring used pure gold to imprison the beautiful rhombus diamond, which looked very good.
pretty.
Shade took this out of the gift box in the early hours of the morning. When he found out it was a ruby, he was really shocked. After all, it was just an apple last week. His first reaction was to sell it for money, but then he thought it was so beautiful.
It's a shame to sell the gems.
"This...oh, this is a real gem? Shade, where did you get it from? Are you sure you want to give this to me? If it were sold at an auction, this could be sold for several thousand pounds."
Lesia frowned slightly, she knew Shade's financial situation.
"It doesn't cost anything. I'll just wash a few pieces of clothes for others for free this week."
Shade shook his head. Of course he understood that it was valuable, but compared to the cost of Lesia's help in finding someone for him in Coldwater Port, it was nothing. Anyway, it was all for nothing. If it was given to Her Royal Highness, it would not only be a thank you to the other party.
, it can also stabilize the relationship between the two parties. And more importantly:
"The mermaid earrings I gave you last time were bought from a souvenir shop. They were just fake gemstones. Look, I see you are still wearing them now. It doesn't match your status at all, so I got real gemstones."
He yawned. He really didn't sleep well yesterday.
Because of the action of yawning, he didn't see the corners of Her Royal Highness the Princess's mouth raised.
The third step of the "Sea Return" ceremony, which is the emergence of the red ocean, is expected to take place on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Although this is not a ceremony to call out the evil god, but just a ceremony to flood the city, Shade is still worried about Lesia's safety.
That's why I lent her the leaves.
And during the half week that Shade returned to Tobesk and struggled for fifteen credits in the city, a lot of things happened here.
Through the intelligence obtained in the fish-man stronghold of Kaisem Lane, the church launched a manhunt across the city, and gradually realized that the Evil God's Familia who had existed in the shadows of the city since the establishment of Coldwater Port had long been unknowingly.
It has penetrated into every aspect of this city.
Even if the church is determined to eradicate them, the situation is still not optimistic. Because there are too many fishmen, not just a few here and there, but in large groups hidden in the cold water port.
