On the surface, the relationship between Priest August and Dorothy was that of ordinary friends, so the old priest greeted him with a normal expression:
"Good afternoon, Miss Louisa. Do you want to see the detective? What a coincidence, he has just come home."
As he spoke, he pointed behind him, then stopped the coachman and helped him move the stone box to the carriage. After getting on the carriage, the priest waved goodbye to Shade and Dorothy.
The blonde girl stood in the light of the setting sun, and the afterglow of the setting sun embellished her makeup. After confirming that the carriage carrying Priest Augustus had left, she greeted Shade:
"Shade, do you have anything else to do tonight? Do you want to go have dinner together?"
She shook the notebook in her hand, and then said hello to the cat that poked its head behind Shade's feet:
"Good evening, Mia."
"Meow~"
The cat, who was very familiar with Dorothy, meowed, but still did not dare to run past Shade and run out of the house.
Completing the third trial of the Lady of the Lake was a major task for Shad. To celebrate, he accepted Dorothy's invitation, changed his clothes, and took the cat and
Miss Writer went to the "Golden October Restaurant" on Silver Cross Avenue.
This is one of the more expensive restaurants on Silver Cross Avenue, but fortunately Shade has made a lot of money in Huntington in recent days.
During the meal, Shade and Dorothy talked about their experiences this afternoon:
"I defeated an angel. Although the opponent deliberately suppressed his own power, and I even relied on the power of a sage-level [relic], this is worthy of celebration."
Upper-class people who dine in high-end restaurants like to bring their own drinks, and so does Shad. He rarely brought a bottle of wine and raised his glass to invite Dorothy to clink her glasses. Dorothy, who had changed into a blue dress, raised her glass.
She didn't look very surprised:
"I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly tell me one day that you have been promoted to the Thirteenth Ring."
"That may take a long time."
Shade put down the goblet and used his hands to scare away the cat that was trying to sniff the wine glass.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good. The gas lamps here are extremely dim, but the candles on the table are lit up and down. The right light does not affect the vision and can enhance the atmosphere. The expensiveness of the restaurant is somewhat justified.
Shade did not mention the battle process between himself and the angel in detail, and for the sake of Dorothy's mental health, he could not talk about the specific origin of the ancient angel. But he mentioned the [Arrow of Knowledge of Iken'ola], that arrow and water
The bag is now placed in the basement:
"A gifted person can become a gifted person if he is scratched, but the awakening is not very stable. I think it is better for me to keep this weapon. If it really falls into the hands of the [Pantanal Voodoo Society], it will still
It won’t necessarily cause any trouble.”
"Become a gifted person directly?"
The blonde girl blinked, and Shade knew that she was thinking of the little princess Agelina.
"No, no, Lecia will not let Agelina become a ring sorcerer now, and you also said that the arrow used for awakening will make it easier for the ring sorcerer to lose control."
Dorothy refuted herself, so Shade didn't say anything more. Lesia had her own arrangements regarding Agelina. However, he expressed his regret for not being able to shoot the arrow:
"Obviously I only had to shoot the arrow and I could touch the fourth spiritual rune of the fourth ring, but the lady in the white robe gave up."
The waiter pushed the dining cart and brought the "Duck in Tobesco Oil". After the waiter left, Shade continued to complain:
"It feels as uncomfortable as if thousands of little Mias are crawling on me."
[Didn’t you say a few hundred this afternoon? 】
Shade exaggerated a little. Dorothy completely understood what he meant, covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled:
"The arrow is in your hand, and you have obtained the special water. There will always be a chance to use that arrow again."
"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future, but this afternoon... although I have more than 10,000 pounds in cash, I still don't have the confidence to buy a satisfactory bow."
He changed the topic himself to prevent the feeling of "a thousand cats scratching his heart" from getting stronger.
"There are many famous relic bows in St. Byrons. The moon witch you mentioned, Miss Brienne Olanode, is a half-elf, so she should also be good at using bows and arrows, right?"
Dorothy asked while lowering her head to handle the food. Shade nodded.
But elves are good at using bows and arrows, just like elves never eat meat, it is a stereotype of people. Shade has never seen Miss Olan Nord, who is good at the power of "Yellow Moon", use bow and arrow weapons.
"Since you feel so uncomfortable..."
The lady across the table blinked at Shade, and then Shade felt something rubbing against his legs under the table covered by the white tablecloth. The texture should be women's stockings. The tablecloth was very long, and the restaurant
The light inside was dim, otherwise Dorothy would never have done this.
With her right hand, she brushed the broken hair around her ear, and with her left hand, she held a fork to pick up the food on the plate, and looked at Shade in the candlelight:
"I feel a little unwell today. I will go back to Quill Street later and record Professor Drake's story. Even if it cannot be published, it is still very good material. Maybe you can go find Luvia."
Lowering his flushed cheeks to eat the duck meat on the plate, Shade blinked his eyes and used [Echo of Blood] to confirm something. In order to prevent himself from seeing the wrong thing, he said in his heart:
"Help me do the math."
【It’s today.】
He turned to look at the cat lying on the high stool waiting to be fed. The cat stared at him with big eyes. When he picked up little Mia just now, Luvia said that she was going to the black market in the city tonight to pick up goods and make preparations.
The course required potions to be submitted to complete the coursework. So, it was probably just him and little Mia who spent tonight at home.
At night when he was alone at home, Shade also had a lot to do. Now that he had obtained the [Power] Spirit Rune, he planned to learn new thaumaturgy.
He currently possesses the spell [Power of the Red Dragon], which he obtained when he used [Sleeping Princess] to revive the big-tailed red dragon witch during his adventure in the Library of Cadiz. This spell is similar to
[Power] is closely related, but it is a pity that Shade does not know how to turn it into thaumaturgy. But during the battle of Fort Midhill, he swung his sword to open the door of death. The Church of the Sun was in Fort Midhill.
Mr. Lacon Matis, the twelve-ring warlock of the diocese, can learn the [Seal of Heaton] as a reward for helping him guard the church.
[Hiton's Seal] is a very famous defensive thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. Shade has already collected all the ritual materials for learning thaumaturgy. Among them, the more difficult-to-obtain materials "golden wheat ears" and "underground magma turtle carapace fragments", Yi
Luna also helped him get it, so tonight he planned to hold a ceremony to learn thaumaturgy.
After dinner, Shade and Dorothy made an agreement that when he went to Lesia's reading salon tomorrow night, Dorothy would come to Saint Teresa Square to help him temporarily take care of little Mia. After sending the blonde girl to the quill
After walking down the street, Shad went to No. 21 Ikem Street, also in the university district, to take home the ancient documents on the "Language of the Cannibal Akan" agreed with the Apuna Library.
Because the learning ceremony of [Heton's Seal] required to be held underground, after returning home, Shade tidied up the basement and chose the open space in the basement for the ceremony venue.
He let little Mia run around and play in the house, while he drew the ritual array on the basement floor and calculated the time to place the ritual symbols. The magic potion that needs to be drank in advance to hold the ceremony is relatively simple to prepare, just wait.
The settling process is somewhat time-consuming.
And at seven o'clock that night, when Sha De was still busy making final preparations, there was a knock on the door of his house. Before the door was knocked, the badge hanging on Sha De's chest had already radiated.
The amazing heat seems to be a visit from the witch.
It was not Miss Carina, but Miss Sylvia. The young witch seemed to be in a good mood. She came alone again. After Shade opened the door, this young lady with short black shawl hair,
Standing on the steps holding her handbag, with the mist-covered night square behind her:
"Good evening, Shade, is there anyone at home? Is it convenient for me to visit? I still have some details about the last paper that I would like to discuss with you."
She asked with a smile, and Shade made a gesture of invitation:
"Please come in, but I am preparing to learn the ritual of thaumaturgy. If you want to discuss the paper, please wait for half an hour. The brewing of the golden sun potion is really time-consuming. I have been staring at it in the basement for an hour, but the potion still failed.
Boil it, maybe I should change the pot next time."
"Do you need help?"
Miss Sylvia walked into the door and took a deep breath:
"It seems that the amount of feverfew essence you added is too small. If it is a golden sun elixir used to assist the ritual, I would recommend replacing the feverfew essence in the standard preparation process with the juice of the locust tree root."
Although Miss Sylvia is younger than the stranger's body, the Great Witch is indeed a great witch. With her enthusiastic help, Shade successfully completed the preparation of the potion and swallowed it.
After taking the magic potion, he performed a ritual and successfully learned the thaumaturgy that according to church records, only warlocks of level six or above can learn.
The casting of [Seal of Heaton] does not require casting materials, but requires a sword as a casting medium, whether it is a physical sword or a spiritual weapon.
After learning thaumaturgy, Shade naturally wanted to try the effect of his first defensive thaumaturgy. After cleaning up the clutter in the basement, Shade invited Miss Sylvia as a sparring partner.
Miss Sylvia and the watching cat were standing on the edge of the basement, and Shade was standing in the center of the empty space in the basement.
Call out the [Moonlight Great Sword] and stab it to the ground with one hand. At the same time, with your left hand, make a seal gesture of touching the thumb and middle finger, bending the little finger, and crossing the ring finger and index finger:
"Seal of Heaton!"
As the spirit flows in the body, the whispering elements affect reality. At a certain moment, a dazzling round golden shield appeared around Shade's body.
This is not a standard ball, but one that lacks the bottom third of its volume. The golden shield has a luster like the sun, completely suppressing the light of the gas lamp in the basement, and reflecting the witch and the cat in gold.
There were no runes on the surface of the golden shield, but the luster on the surface was flowing in patches, which looked quite magical. The sphere completely illuminated the entire basement, and even made Shade inside the shield feel like he was in a basement without steam pipe heating.
, the temperature is rising.
It seems that you need to be very careful when using this kind of thaumaturgy at night, as it is much brighter than a gas street lamp. However, among the commonly used charms, there are also charms that can block the light in a certain area, although the charms are not enough to work on Shade's "light spell"
, but it should be no problem to cover up other thaumaturgic light.
