"Ms. Cassandra is in charge? If Fort Midhill is really that dangerous, wouldn't it be too dangerous to leave Ms. Cassandra there alone? After all, she only has ten rings."
Shade couldn't help but ask. Miss Carina shook her head:
"But she had a good teacher."
Sister Devlin also said this, and the nun also said that Granny Cassandra's teacher was not a witch.
"Who is Ms. Cassandra's teacher?"
"I don't know, but the other party is not a witch. You probably also know that the power of the Council is inherited and follows the ancient apprenticeship system. Each of us has his own training target, that is, an apprentice."
Teachers train apprentices and provide free accommodation, but accordingly, apprentices must also assume corresponding obligations during the study period and after graduation. This is a very ancient tradition.
"The seat corresponding to Granny Cassandra is 'Dark', but the 'Dark' witch and apprentice of the previous generation died in a terrible accident at the same time. Granny Cassandra at that time was just an ordinary student next to the witch of the previous generation.
, some similar to other followers of mine. She was a friend of the Dark Witch of the previous generation and the teacher of Granny Cassandra. She recommended her to the Speaker of the Parliament of the previous generation and personally taught her the knowledge of ring magicians. That respectable lady,
I also know something about the power of witches."
"So Grandma Cassandra's teacher is older than Grandma Cassandra? Oh, is the other person still alive? How many rings is it?"
"It is indeed alive and very strong. The Speaker said it himself, it is very strong."
Miss Carina cautiously commented:
"I was in Fort Midhill and had the honor to meet that lady. She looked very young, probably even younger than Tifa. And she looked very weird, and her mental state was nothing like that.
An elderly person like my mother-in-law looks like a young person of the same age as her appearance. But in short, with the teacher of Mother-in-law Cassandra at Fort Midhill, her mother-in-law can deal with most troubles. If she really can't deal with it,
, the council will consider sending other great witches to help her."
"That's good."
Shade said, and then looked at the morning glow outside the window. The current situation in Fort Midhill City is still unclear. Regarding the third chosen candidate, Luvia still needs to conduct divination and investigation before he can conduct targeted research.
action.
Therefore, after rescuing the priest, he no longer had urgent matters in his hands, and his life seemed to have returned to peace for the time being.
"However, Priest August and Sister Devlin may be the chosen ones. Who will it be? Or, they are just secondary candidates, and the real chosen one has not yet appeared."
【You should still have some things to do.】
"She" reminded softly, and Miss Carina asked Shade to change into formal clothes, and then went to have breakfast with her. The Duchess made a reservation at a high-end restaurant in the private club in the east of the city, where a new person arrived
Kassenlik is a very skilled chef, and Shad seems to have never tasted Kassenrik's special breakfast.
"Yes, I want to play a few games with the Rhodes players in Fort Midhill. Maybe I can get some interesting special cards."
While selecting clothes in front of the wardrobe, Shade joked in his mind.
Tifa also walked into the bedroom and asked Shade to move away from the closet, obviously wanting to help Shade choose clothes. There were several very good formal suits in Shade's closet, among which only the one with missing sleeves belonged to his ex.
What the detective kept, the rest was given by others.
"Besides playing cards, there are indeed things to do. The witcher's sword and the army that went to the Windy Path to return the corporal's pistol."
Miss Carina's voice came from the living room at this time. She asked Tifa to help Shade choose a better-looking tie.
"However, these two things are not important. It can be completed anytime."
【is that so?】
"She" chuckled.
Shade looked towards the bedroom window:
"According to the game in my hometown, these two things are branch lines in the river. It's better if they are completed, and it doesn't matter if they are not completed. Therefore, the most important thing for me at Fort Midhill is actually to let Ogu
The priest invited me to have a meal at the best restaurant in the city."
He still hasn't forgotten it.
After breakfast, the witch did not leave Shade's house, but prepared to teach Iluna at his house. The seventeen-year-old girl had officially begun to learn the power of balance from the witch. Although she was reluctant, at least she
He respects Miss Carina very much in attitude. They both missed a class last weekend because of something else, but why they have to attend classes at Shard this Monday, the young foreigner can't figure it out.
However, he did not sit in on courses that were of little significance to him, but instead sorted out what he had learned.
This half-week "Priest Augustus Rescue Operation" did not bring any benefits to Shade. Although Shade was forced to obtain "easily attacked by evil spirits" and unknown when due to the use of relics that manipulate luck.
There would be a negative effect of being unlucky, but at the same time, he also obtained the first spiritual rune of the third ring, whispering [True Death].
This spiritual rune has been associated with the thaumaturgy [Death's Door], but this thaumaturgy is completely useless to Shade. He never imagined that he would enter the land of death again for any reason.
Therefore, he planned to learn another thaumaturgy related to it. But what exactly he wanted to learn, Shade decided to decide on Tuesday when he went to Fort Midhill to meet the priest.
But what really bothered him was the spell [Blood Wine Brewing] he obtained from listening to ten stories about the evil god brewing blood wine during the second drinking party.
The effect of this spell is not complicated. It uses a bottle with a cork that once contained any alcoholic beverage as the casting material. It can turn any completely unconscious creature into blood wine and inhale it into the bottle. This process is not completed in an instant.
Yes, it will take a long time to wait.
The spell is useless against objects that are far stronger than the caster. When the spell can take effect, the stronger the opponent, the longer the blood brewing time will be, and its cycle may reach several years. During the process, the object must always fall into the deepest
is in a coma, and buries the opening of the wine bottle into the opponent's body. However, once the unconscious person wakes up, the blood brew that has been brewed will become invalid, and the object cannot be selected again.
When the spell effect ends, the clothes will fall to the ground, and the flesh and soul will be brewed into blood wine.
Drinking this blood wine can heal one's own injuries, strengthen one's physical and soul qualities, and gain part of the memory and strength of the person being drank, as well as spiritual runes.
Spells are also useful on corpses, because after losing their souls, they only have flesh and blood. Therefore, although the casting speed is greatly increased, the effect is only to heal and strengthen one's physical quality.
In addition to animals with souls, the spell also has an effect on soulless plants. But using this ability on plants such as apples and grapes is basically equivalent to making wine. Wine made from ordinary plants without souls is almost
It cannot be called "blood wine", it can only be regarded as a plant wine or fruit wine of quite good quality.
To put it simply, the essence of this spell is a more elegant method of "cannibalism", and it is an extremely rare ability in the Sixth Age that can imprison the soul.
If there is no moral judgment, the effect of this spell is simply almighty, more powerful than any spell mastered by Shade and even most thaumaturgy. But the problem is that any intelligent creature in a normal state of mind,
It is impossible for them to "eat" the same kind without any psychological barriers.
Why the evil god gave Shade this ability was not very clear to outsiders, but he understood very well that the other party must be expecting him to use this power and then get lost in it.
Perhaps, the evil god will appear when Shade completely falls into madness, and then use the same method to brew Shade, a special individual, into blood brew.
Of course, the above is purely speculation, and it is possible that the other party just wanted to have some fun and watch Shade repeatedly struggle between morality and power.
But when the outsider first came to this world and was first exposed to the mystery, he had a conversation with Dr. Schneider on related topics. Although he longed for power, he also had his own principles, so even though he now has the spell of [Blood Wine Brewing]
, and also made up his mind that he could use this spell during his lifetime, but he would never drink the blood brew made by any intelligent life with a soul.
He has no interest in "eating people".
Even if the other party is a villain like Ivan Darkness, Shade will not turn the other party into blood wine and drink it. In order to help himself always remember the oath at this time, Shade even let the inner heart
"She" helps remember this, and then reminds Shade at any time when he might "eat people" for power.
【I will not interfere with your choice.】
This was the response "she" gave when having dinner with Miss Carina. And Iluna has already gone back. Her companion was injured while collecting the relics, so she has to take on the recent work of Blackwater Security Company.
.
Exotic dishes were served one after another, and Shade and the Duchess sat across from each other. The dessert before the meal was now being served, a dessert called "Grilled Wind Mushrooms". Shade and Mia liked it very much. This is using
Kasenlik's specialty is a grilled mushroom that looks like a windmill. It is spread with sweet sauce and served on a plate with mushrooms and fruits.
A mushroom is almost as big as Mia the cat's head. It doesn't taste like ordinary mushrooms, but rather like a mushroom-like melon.
"I didn't ask you to interfere with me, you just reminded me."
Shade thought absently:
"How about just thinking that you are watching over me? You are always behind me, but you can't be seen by me, but at the same time, you are watching over my heart to ensure that I will not go on the wrong path. Although what is wrong and what is right are also very important.
It’s hard to say, but it sounds like very good novel material that can be used as a reference for Dorothy, such as the criminal motives of dual-personality psychopaths.”
