Shade looked out the window. Hazy fog was the norm in Tobesk at the turn of autumn and winter. After all, the steam plant and gas company were entering their peak operation during this season.
"I will probably be busy making a batch of No. 4 holy water recently, but if I put it into the local black market in large quantities, I don't know if it will attract the attention of the church."
The old man said worriedly.
"Are you short of money recently? I can lend it to you."
Including the 1,000 pounds from the foreign princess that he has not yet taken, Shade's savings now exceed five figures.
"No need to lend it to me, I have to pay back the money. I still owe Schneider 3,000 pounds."
The priest said, and then Shade remembered this matter. This was the material cost for the opening ceremony of the [Spiritual Cultivation Group].
When this question was mentioned, Priest August asked again with a smile:
"However, what project did Schneider invest in to earn so much? Last time you were very vague. I can ask him when I give him a gift later. Speaking of which, the exam week seems to be coming soon again, and the end of the year is approaching.
The church also has to check accounts and make reports, as well as year-end summaries and plans for the next year. Why do you think I'm busier than you young people?"
Shade just hoped that even if Dr. Schneider told the origin of the money, he would never reveal that he was also involved in gambling.
"If you are worried about the sale of holy water, I can sell it on the black market in Cold Water Port and Fort Midhill. For such scarce goods, you don't have to worry about finding buyers. Spread out some supply sources, and you don't have to worry about being discovered.
."
"That's a good idea, but is it just Cold Water Port and Fort Midhill?"
The priest asked while leaning on the sofa. Shade nodded:
"If I want to go to more places, I need a special mineral called white stone crystal, and I want to go to a random location."
The priest shared his secret, and Shade didn't mind sharing the information with the priest.
The old man polished his pipe and did not comment on Shade's special "skill".
"Priest, do you think this world may be destroyed?"
Shade suddenly asked again. The old man raised his eyes and looked at him, with a surprised expression on his old face:
"All things must eventually perish. I thought you had known this for a long time."
"No, no, I want to ask, do you know the specific time when the world will be destroyed?"
The priest blinked:
"This is also the purpose of collecting the remains of angels. Since I came into contact with this power, I know that the destruction of the world will definitely happen, maybe tomorrow, but it may also be ten thousand years later. If you want to get the answer from me, I'm sorry,
I don’t know yet. But I am at least certain that the Sixth Era is a very special era, and the day when all things will die is related to the era we are in."
(Little Mia is running.)
For the next nearly two weeks, Shade lived a peaceful and peaceful life as he wished.
Without the trouble of the time key, the news of the next chosen one would not appear so soon. There was not even any clue about the divinity he was thinking about, but he at least bought a new "key" from Coldwater Port at a high price.
White Stone Crystal", ready to go to the city where it is possible to obtain divinity at any time.
But Shade did not do nothing. He collected enough materials and held a ceremony to connect [Laziness] to the thaumaturgy - [Chain of Sin]. The knowledge about original sin provided by the tree father was very rich. But the knowledge inside was extremely terrifying and blasphemous. Shade only exchanged some relevant content with the doctor. The doctor seriously warned Shade that he should never tell any third person about this knowledge:
"You're going to get into big trouble. I don't even know how your soul can handle this knowledge."
Shade drank a full bottle of holy water in front of him to prove that he had not been corrupted by his mortal sin.
Of course, except for those provided by Miss Carina for free, most of the materials needed for the ceremony were purchased by Shade. But at the moment, he had a lot of savings, so he didn't feel sad about the expense.
Newspapers gradually began to frequently report the news that Princess Marguerite Anjou of Carsonlik was about to visit Tobesk. For this reason, the city hall also launched the "Tobesk City Public Security Management Inventory in the Autumn of 1853". Action. Because of this action, there was chaos in the city for a while, but it was quickly suppressed by Ridwich Field.
During this period, Shade unexpectedly received an introduction from an old friend, a Rhodes poker player, and the original owner of [Ancient Fairy Tale·Match Girl], Baron Lavender, who came to seek help from Baron Passos. He assisted the baron. In an underground Rhodes casino that was about to be closed down in a slum in the north of the city, the heirloom mortgaged by the baron - a gold medal with the family crest - was secretly recovered.
Although this only took one night, it involved sneaking in secretly, playing Rhodes cards, gunfighting in the corridor, picking locks and rummaging through, and destroying mortgage records. This was not a simple commission, and as a reward, Shade made money from just one business. A three-digit gold pound.
This included hush money. The baron did not use the money to buy back the family heirloom because he did not want others to know that he had mortgaged it to an illegal casino. The damage to his reputation was far more important than a few hundred pounds.
After the deal ended, Baron Lavender played cards with Shade in the Prophet's Association during his free time. When he saw the [Origin and Death] card, he almost fainted from excitement. This can only be regarded as the epilogue to the end of this big deal. .
It's not like Shade didn't do serious things in the past two weeks. He accepted the invitation of Professor Hessenger Garcia, the deputy dean of the School of History. After the "Closed Space" elective course in the fall, he took the professor's "Space Exploration" as an elective course. "Introduction" course, and submitted a ten-foot-long paper as the final report.
The theoretical conjecture about the nesting use of multiple puzzle locks mentioned by Schade in the course was highly praised by Professor Garcia. Although Schade was only a correspondence student, because of this paper, his history at St. Byrons It has gained a reputation in the academy.
In addition to the courses at the academy, Shade used his free time to study the "Pink Book" from [Desire] more deeply, and successfully mastered some practical spells, such as grease magic, live rope tricks and body movements. Expansion spells. Of course, Shade did not learn these spells just for the pleasure of having fun with girls. He is already strong enough. He hopes to enrich his list of spells through learning. After all, because he upgrades too fast, he Very lacking in these basic spells.
At the same time, he successfully developed the "Yellow Moon Version" of the thaumaturgy common to both the [Yellow Moon] Spirit Rune and the [Silver Moon] Spirit Rune.
It's a pity that although when he touched the "Unknown Book of Sacrifice" in the library of the Fifth Age, he learned that "those who believe in the noble sun can also borrow the power of the silver moon", Shade failed to use the [solar ray] to
Learn skills like "Moonlight Ray".
For this reason, he also specifically consulted Iluna who came back from Fort Midhill, but Iluna was not familiar with the power of the moon and could not give Shade good advice. On the contrary, because he heard Shade describe too much
After many times of using [Solar Ray], after finishing the course from Miss Carina on the first Sunday of the Frost Moon, Iluna miraculously learned [Solar Ray] without any ceremony.
.
It was difficult for Shade to describe his mood in the manor at that time.
"The excellent talents of the balanced candidates are really admirable and enviable."
Miss Carina said in a good mood. Before Iluna wanted to speak, the witch kissed Shade in front of Iluna and kindly "admonished" her students:
"Young girl, you still have a long way to go. Don't be particularly happy just because of your short-term improvement."
Iluna's expression at that time made Shade think she was going to throw a sunshine gun.
