Chapter 817 The End of Autumn
[Seal of Heaton] is a very famous thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. Since that roll of parchment can be carried by a high-level warlock of the Church of the Sun, thaumaturgy is certainly not a simple thing.
Its naming method does not refer to the inventor. "Hiton" is a rune in ancient language, which has the meaning of "immovable", "solid" and "protection". Therefore, "Hiton Seal" is also called "Immovable Seal".
”.
The thaumaturgy of "Dharma Seal" mostly comes from the extraordinary power of the Fourth Age. The Fourth Age is an era of darkness and terror, with constant wars in the material world, man-eating alien creatures running rampant, and dark species enslaving people. "Dharma Seal"
Specifically, it means that when casting a spell, you need to use five fingers to make rune-like movements. It was later improved by the Fifth Age of Witch Era and integrated into the Ring Warlock system in the Sixth Age.
This kind of magic requires level 6 or above to learn. Casting does not require casting materials, but the caster needs to hold a sword as the casting medium, whether it is a physical sword like [Night Watch] or [Moonlight Great Sword].
Any spiritual weapon can be used.
Insert the sword into the ground with an inclination of no more than 30 degrees with one hand. With the other hand, make the seal gesture of touching the thumb and middle finger, bending the little finger, and crossing the ring finger and index finger.
After activating the spirit rune, a circular golden shield will appear around the body. The shield can resist almost any form of attack - of course fate attacks cannot be defended, and the strength of the "immovable seal" depends on the number of spirits. Even
, if the spell is released at the moment of being attacked, the broken metal shield will cause more powerful burst damage to the enemy.
Counterattack requires good timing, which requires repeated practice. The only disadvantage of this precious defensive thaumaturgy is that you cannot attack the enemy when casting the spell, and you must stand still. Wait until the opponent stops attacking before stopping the seal to counterattack, or
Use the right moment to break the shield and counterattack.
"But even so, this is a pretty good thaumaturgy and very useful to me."
Shade said to himself, looking down at the last learning requirement:
"[Sun], [Strength], [Shield], [Gold], these four spiritual runes are OK, but the requirement must be a miracle or enlightenment, not a whisper or blasphemy [Power]? Isn't it my low-level sublimation words?"
The last spiritual rune?"
Shade has already included [Headon's Seal] in his list of things to learn. His current thaumaturgy covers almost all aspects, but he lacks defensive thaumaturgy. This time it just makes up for his shortcomings, and he can improve it after entering the middle ring.
Further adjustments to the spellcasting system.
After sorting out his harvest, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Shade and the cat went to Miss Carina's manor in a carriage. The witch was still waiting for Shade's story.
There are some things that you can tell Luvia, but you can't tell Miss Carina. But at least this time, Shade admitted most of the things, at least letting Miss Carina know that he defeated Joey Barton in death.
Not Iluna, but him.
"Ha, I knew it must be you, otherwise you would have no reason to be there!"
Miss Carina was very happy to have her suspicion verified. She played with her red temples and listened to Shade's story about Wednesday night to Thursday morning. She also arranged afternoon tea and told Shade more details.
The aftermath of the Battle of Fort Midhill.
The problem of Hazama has basically been completely solved, and Iluna also brought news of the dead chosen ones, letting the church know that this quota belongs to the Spiritual Order. Therefore, the most critical issue after the Battle of Miburg is not
It is the identity of the thirteenth-ring warlock "God Caller" who is the next chosen one, and the reason why the two gods suddenly appeared, fought on Mount Sikal, and then suddenly left.
Of course, some of the vampires who participated in the god-summoning ceremony were captured by the church. But the problem is that most of them don't know why the gods appear in the form of saints, let alone why they suddenly leave.
Of course, although the arrival of the vampire god did not cause any damage at all except destroying some trees and rocks, the church still arrested those vampires on charges of "organizing illegal rituals" and "using prohibited items".
Awaiting them will be the punishment of the Inquisition.
Every divine descending event in the material world will be recorded in detail by scholars from the Zhengshen Church and the Academy of Thaumaturgy, and will be passed down as part of the history books. Shade is very curious about how this incident will be written. After all, in theory, except for him
As with Grace and Helen, no one knows the whole truth about this incident.
Even if he tells the truth, most people will probably not believe it unless he becomes a god and proves himself. The vampire god planned two eras, involving many gods and indirectly affecting many historical events. In the end, it was not to subvert justice.
The Church of God is not for the spread of faith, nor is it for the secrets of the ancient era, it is just for a glass of blood wine that cannot be obtained. No rational person will believe this kind of thing.
"It is said that the church is discussing whether to set last Wednesday as a special festival for Fort Midhill. Countless souls have left the boundary between life and death under the guidance of gods, which in itself is worth commemorating."
The witch said as she was enjoying her afternoon tea, bringing this matter to a successful conclusion.
As for the serious injuries of Helen and Grace, they were well concealed with the help of Granny Cassandra and Sister Devlin. The actions of the two small red butterflies that night did not attract too many people.
Except for the people at Cassandra Auction House, no one even knew of their existence.
"But isn't [Night Watcher] your sword? Why does the church think it is [Godcaller]'s sword?"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun still hadn't set even in late autumn. Shade and Miss Carina were sitting at a round table on the terrace on the third floor of the manor. There were teapots and snacks on the table.
Mia was sleeping soundly on Shad's lap. Shad was lamenting that the weather was getting colder when he suddenly heard the witch's question and immediately answered:
"Because it is difficult to explain who handed [Night Watch] to Iluna, so I asked her to think of me as the Godcaller."
"But according to the information I received, the 'God Caller' who appeared at the narrow church is indeed holding the [Night Watch]."
The witch asked again.
"Oh, that's because the church made a mistake. In the narrow room, they thought I was a God Summoner, and they thought I was deliberately suppressing my power, but in fact I am really just a three-ring warlock. As for the God Summoner."
Tifa poured new tea into Shade's teacup. Shade thanked her softly. The black-haired maid smiled at him. Smelling Tifa's perfume again, Shade recalled today's breakfast.
He was very restrained and kept his expression unchanged:
"I guess the God Caller has actually been on Mount Sikal in the real world since Wednesday evening, waiting for the blood-sucking Duke to descend."
People always avoid mentioning the name of God directly, so "the vampire duke" can refer to the blood god.
"That's right. It's indeed reasonable. But according to the church's description, your performance in the narrow room is really good. The power you exerted is at least that of a middle-level person who is about to be promoted."
The witch said again, seeing that she couldn't find any flaws in Shad, and Tifa stood next to Shad and handed him a napkin, so she said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, Tifa didn't come to see me immediately after she came back this morning. Instead, she went to change clothes. I think there might be something wrong with this."
"Miss, when I served Mr. Hamilton for breakfast this morning, I accidentally spilled breakfast on the skirt of my apron."
Tifa explained softly that of course she lied, she had sprinkled it in the wrong place, and it was only steaming eggs.
"Is that so?"
The witch's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, her eyes hovered over Tifa's chest, and she suddenly asked:
"Shadow, are you satisfied with your breakfast?"
"Um?"
Shade was immersed in memories of the early morning. Even though he could control his expression, his face immediately turned red:
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
Miss Carina smiled and shook her head:
"The young knight and the young maid loved each other, but due to the presence of the beautiful mistress, they could only provide simple comfort but could not vent the flames in their hearts. Even if they sat face to face with the mistress, they could only communicate with her with eyes.
The secretive maid has an unwanted communication, and at the same time she has to work hard to please her true lover, and she is passionate about the two ladies while being patient and suffering. Gee, this is the knight novel I just thought of.
The storyline is pretty good, right?”
What she was talking about was definitely not the plot of a novel, otherwise Shade would still be very interested in reading this book.
[How about calling it "The Legend of Detective Knight"? A foreigner who has the sin of "indulgent love"~]
"She" asked with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Dinner at the manor was around seven o'clock, and there was still a long time before dinner, but they did not talk about Fort Midhill anymore. Miss Carina suggested that since the weather was nice, they should go out for a walk. So she took Shad
He and his maids rode around the nearby farm, introducing Shade to the daily income sources of the manor outside the city.
Later, under the strong late autumn sunset, the red-haired witch proposed a horse race with Shade. The servants who followed, and even Tifa holding Mia, could not participate. Only Shade and her walked along the country road, and the little man
Girton Village all the way back to the main entrance of the manor.
The horse's hoofbeats were rapid, and there was no accident. Of course, Shade lost. Even if Miss Carina deliberately controlled the speed, the equestrian skills of the noble girl who had received equestrian training since childhood were not comparable to Shade's.
But when he rode hard after the witch, watching the sunset fill the country road, watching Miss Carina's figure running towards the sunset, the scene was as textured as an oil painting, which was probably enough to make this "
The "dead" autumn brings the most perfect ending.
There is a room specially reserved for Shade in the manor, and there is no shortage of clothes and daily necessities. Shade thought that nothing would happen tonight, but after dinner, he was chatting with Miss Carina in the study about dinner tonight.
When the last dessert, which was the taste of red sun berries shipped from Kasenlik, came from the door, there was a knock on the door.
Tifa went to open the door. The maid outside the door whispered to Tifa, and then Tifa returned to the sofa:
"Miss, Your Highness has arrived."
After saying that, he glanced at Shade. Shade thought Miss Carina had business to discuss, so he picked up the cat and was about to get up, but the Duchess asked him to sit down:
"Just let her come directly. The accompanying female officers will be accommodated on the first floor, and the personal servants can follow."
