Iluna was much busier than Shad, so Shad did not stay at Blackstone Security Company for long and left soon.
After that, he did not go home, but took advantage of the time he had today to go out and visit Priest August at Dawn Church. It happened that today was Sunday, so the priest took Shade to the service and talked about some religions with Bishop Owen.
topic, and let Shade have lunch at the church at noon.
After lunch, Shade had time to talk about his own affairs. First of all, he naturally entrusted Priest August to investigate the order of the Old God [The Uncertain Wise Man]. Then he handed the notebook to the priest, with Miss Violet's improved version written on it.
The formula of "Fire Resistance Potion". Those names for materials in the Fifth Age, Shade has changed them to names in the Sixth Age based on the content of [Witch Reverberation].
Priest August took a look:
"Oh? You copied this from an ancient book?"
"Do you know this recipe?"
"Of course, but this is a recipe that has been eliminated."
Priest August said, the two chatted in the priest's room in the church, and the priest returned the notebook to Shade.
"It has been eliminated."
Shade sighed slightly, but he was also quite pleased. This meant that potion science was constantly developing, and even the formula of the Thirteen-ring Great Witch would one day be eliminated.
"Although the details are different, it is indeed that formula. Oh, it was not eliminated because it was not effective. In fact, this is the most effective method of preparing fire-resistant agents so far. It is even called
It is [Extremely Effective Fire Resistance Potion]. From the perspective of potions alone, this formula has almost reached the pinnacle of fire resistance potions."
Priest August said with a sigh.
"Then why were you eliminated?"
Shade asked curiously, and the priest pointed to the formula on the open notebook:
“Too expensive.”
"What?"
"There is no conclusion yet on who invented this formula, but the other person was definitely a great person in the Fifth Era. The formula fully utilizes the role of each material, and the preparation method is extremely sophisticated. The combination of different materials
The reaction can be said to be exquisite. But the problem is that this formula is too expensive.”
After he paused, he added:
“It’s really too expensive.”
Shade showed a clear expression, which was in line with his impression of Miss Violet. The other party was the Witch Emperor who was in charge of a country. Her own knowledge was amazing, and she would not worry about the cost of materials even if she improved the formula. But he did not expect that on the third
Now in the sixth era, this recipe is still being circulated.
It was originally a formula modified under mental pressure and dangerous environments to cope with God's test, but it is still praised by today's ring magicians. Although the Witch Emperors are extravagant and extravagant, their strength and wisdom are indeed in line with their status.
While Shade was thinking, Priest August suddenly frowned and sniffed at Shade.
Seeing his appearance, the cat who was taking a nap in Shade's arms squinted and sniffed.
"Shad, do you still remember that I smelled a familiar smell on you when I was at the train station this Monday? I forgot to ask you at Dr. Schneider's yesterday. How come this smell has become stronger than it was on Monday?"
After speaking, he glanced at Shade’s cat:
"And your cat has that familiar smell too."
Shade took the cat out to strange places this week, the only time he and Sister Devlin visited the Lake of Cherubim. Combined with the last time the priest discovered the smell, he saw the Lake of Cherubim but didn't
After being able to board, he raised his eyebrows and immediately knew what Priest Augustus had smelled.
"Do you know the Lady of the Lake?"
"Shadow, are you talking about the fairy tale "Water of Wisdom"?"
"No, no, this is not a fairy tale, I really encountered it."
Shade explained his experience in Huntington to the priest in detail. The old priest was quite surprised:
"When you say that, I seem to have some clues. Although I can't be sure, the so-called 'Lady of the Lake' is most likely an angel."
Shade was not too surprised:
"This should be correct. The other person is not a relic, but he is definitely not a real great person. I am sure of this. If it is an angel, then it makes sense. Priest, don't you know which angel the other person is?"
Now in the Sixth Era, the angels of the good gods only appear on special occasions. The angels of the old gods have long since left with the gods, and the angels of the evil gods are even rarer. Therefore, Shade does not know much about angels.
"It should be an ancient being who survived from ancient times."
The priest thought for a while and said that he had the power of the "First Angel" to tell angels to die. The angels he could call "the ancient ones" must also be related to the ancient gods.
"It's really interesting that there are such ancient angels in this era."
Priest Augustus made up his mind and said to Shade:
"Let me help you find out who this angel is. Since he calls himself 'Cherub', then this word must have a corresponding meaning. If you can determine the identity of the other person, you may be able to touch it when you are tested.
Knowing what the other person is thinking can help you solve problems faster."
"Priest, don't you want to see that angel?"
Shade suggested that although priests cannot use the [Magician's Escape Box] that only high-level warlocks can use, as long as they look hard enough, there is always a way for priests to appear in Huntington City.
Priest August shook his head slightly:
"For the other party to be able to survive to this day, there must be abnormal means, and it may even be just a manifestation of some kind of power, definitely not the true nature. We all have our own responsibilities and purposes, so I don't want to see him. Besides, I'm just
Mortals who have inherited part of the power of angels, we are different."
Priest Augustus was very worried about the appearance of ancient angels. In his opinion, the appearance of any ancient being meant that something big was about to happen. But he did not stop Shade from continuing to contact the "Lady of the Lake". As long as there are no angels from the ancient gods,
Because they are out of control and crazy, most of them do not have direct malice towards humans.
"this is for you."
The priest stretched out his hand to Shade, and in his old palm lay a familiar burnt feather:
"Next time you see that lady, give her this feather. For the sake of being an angel, he will slightly reduce the difficulty of your trial."
"Does this count as cheating?"
Although he said this, Shade still took the feather and used it to scratch the cat who was taking a nap on the table. Mia squirmed, twisted her body in the other direction and lay down, ignoring Shade at all.
"What kind of cheating is this? Just give the feather to the lady. What she wants to do is his business."
said the priest, waving his hands.
Sunday was the church's Sunday, and Shade spent the whole afternoon in the church. After all, he was still a core believer of Dawn Church in this diocese. Although at three o'clock in the afternoon, Priest Augustus was arrested because of something.
He was temporarily called away, but Shade still held the cat and listened to the old priest's sermon in the church, and voluntarily participated in the activity of distributing relief food to the homeless and homeless at the door of the church in the evening.
This made Xia De, who almost received relief food in the summer, very emotional.
The so-called relief food is black bread and dried seasonal vegetables packed in paper bags. It can be eaten raw or soaked in hot water. The paper bags used to hold food in the church are also good things for the poor. Shade helped distribute the food.
At that time, I heard from the old monk in charge of transporting the goods that these paper bags could be cut and used as filters for hand-rolled cigarettes, or they could be left as an excellent source of fire.
Of course, outsiders would not ask stupid questions such as "Why do you still smoke if you have trouble eating?", but he knew that with the arrival of winter, the church would increase the frequency of releasing relief food. The first snow had already
According to experience in previous years, the city will be covered in silver for at most two weeks. This year's weather is not extreme so far, but even if it is, many people will not be able to survive this winter.
Foreigners standing in the light of civilization can of course see those people standing in the shadow of civilization. The age of steam is rolling in like a wave, and no matter which side it is, it is part of the era. When I was in my hometown, I heard that "the best and the best"
"The worst of times", but for Shade, who is standing on the earth, all he is doing now is reaching out to help those he meets.
Shade did not have dinner in the church, and returned to St. Teresa's Square after saying goodbye to Priest Augustus. In the evening, he officially received Lesia's invitation to attend Lesia's reading salon on Wednesday night. The venue was
In the Prophet's Association, although the Prophet's Association generally does not conduct business at night, it can provide services as a club.
As for Lesia's direct invitation to Shade, it was at the request of Princess Margaret, so the invitation was not unexpected. Shade took the invitation letter and thought about the tasks surrounding Princess Margaret, and then thought about it.
, I wonder if there are really people who want to harm the princess.
"Although the people of the Truth Society look vicious, Miss Paavo has already explained that she just wants to ask Princess Margaret some questions and does not want to hurt her. They are also afraid of the Church's Inquisition. So, it is possible at present
It was only ordinary people who were a threat to Margaret Anjou."
Princess Margaret's recent itinerary in Tobesk is quite complicated. This princess did not come to Tobesk just for travel. The security pressure on MI6 is very high. Although Shade is not involved in direct security work,
I also know that the jobs of my colleagues are not easy.
Shade, who received the task personally arranged by the king, was actually the most relaxed among them.
Just like this, another Monday came, the 25th day of the Frost Moon. After waking up early in the morning, Shade excitedly got out of bed and reached out to touch the wall, and sure enough he felt the temperature of the wall.
Although this heating method is unremarkable in the hometown of outsiders, it still surprises outsiders to experience steam pipe heating in this era.
Before having breakfast, Shade also followed the notice issued by the St. Teresa Square neighborhood, followed by the sleepy little Mia, and checked from the basement to the attic, confirming that after the steam heating started in his home this winter, no one appeared.
Water leakage situation.
After confirming that the heating was on, Shade even hugged the cat in a good mood and let the cat's little paws touch the warm parts of the wall.
Little Mia was also very surprised that the wall was heating up. This cat was born in the spring of 1853 and had probably never seen urban heating. It stretched out its paws and kept scratching the wall, as if it wanted to know what else was inside the wall.
