After lunch, Shade took out the vines with mental toxins that he had obtained while searching for the "Arrow of Knowledge of Iken'ola" and gave them to the nun so that the nun could further search for the "Pantanar Evil". He did not
Staying at Fort Midhill for too long, I said goodbye to Helen and Grace who were reluctant to leave at two o'clock in the afternoon and prepared to go home.
The carriage was prepared by Miss Swift, the witch's apprentice. The girl with flaxen hair braved the heavy snow and drove Shade to the door of the auction house. She stood in the snow and waved goodbye to him.
Snowflakes fell on the young girl's hat and shoulders. Miss Swift was speechless when she said goodbye. She bit her lip and said nothing for a long time. Seeing that the snow was falling a lot, Shade asked her to go back quickly.
At this time, the young girl suddenly threw something at the carriage window, then turned around and walked quickly to the door of the auction house.
The driver waved the reins, and the wheels rolled over the snow, making a dull rustling sound. The carriage drove into the fluttering snow, and Shade picked up the things thrown in the carriage.
Of course, it was not a steam bomb with the safety unlocked, but a pebble rune. Relying on the faintly glowing dendritic runes on the smooth surface of the pebble, Shade recognized that it was the rune Tifa had used beside Schluch Lake.
Used camouflage runestones.
You only need to recite the incantation to activate the runestones to disguise yourself. Ms. Pavo, the vice-president of the Truth Society, who is also the sixth ring, still firmly believes in the woman suspected of being the "God Summoner" because of the induction of this runestone.
The companion is an ugly female, and the "Godcaller's" pet is a dog.
"Oh, Miss Swift can actually make rune stones of this level? This is really amazing!"
When Shade was dancing after the battle at Schluch Lake, he heard Tifa in a blue dress say that this kind of rune stone is a unique alchemy item for witches and requires at least level five to make. He didn't talk to Swift just now.
The young lady shook hands and was not sure about the young girl's level change. But judging from this rune stone, she had been promoted from the fourth level to the fifth level, and the ring sorcerer level should also have been upgraded to the fifth level.
"This little witch with no self-confidence finally started to make progress."
Shade sighed softly, and then put the rune stone into his pocket.
【Then why did she throw this to you?】
"She" whispered softly, Shade tilted his head and looked at the snowy scene outside the window, pretending not to hear.
The fragments of the poem and Luvia's prophecy point to the fact that the thief Jack will steal an item that the king has touched tonight in the Jodel Palace-St. Teresa Square area. Both Luvia and the church believe that the stolen item
The place is most likely Yodel Palace. It just so happens that Shade has received an invitation to participate in the princesses' reading salon, so he will spend tonight at the Prophet's Association with Lesia, Princess Margaret and Luvia.
After returning home in the afternoon, he first took care of the "anti-theft" measures at home. Even if Dorothy takes care of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square tonight, Shade will make sure that everything is safe. In the evening, the writer lady finished cooking dinner in the kitchen, Shade
He repeatedly warned about safety issues.
"Although the possibility of my home being robbed is very small, I still have to emphasize it again. If you really encounter [Jack the Thief], your and Mia's safety is the most important."
Shade solemnly pinched little Mia's waist and handed the cat to Dorothy. The cat originally stretched its head and looked curiously at the plate of scrambled eggs. At this time, it was picked up and let out a whimper of dissatisfaction.
Voice.
Dorothy took off her apron and washed her hands before taking the dishonest cat with a smile:
"Yes, yes, Mr. Detective, I will not let your cat leave my sight tonight. If a stranger appears at home, I will take it out of the house immediately."
"That's it. Also, if I don't knock on the door, don't open the door at any time; if there are beggars begging, just pretend not to hear them. There are no beggars in the nearby blocks. King Larousse III is soft-hearted and cannot see beggars; there are beggars outside the window.
Black shadow, leave the window immediately; you are armed and don’t be soft-hearted if necessary; and..."
"Shade, do you really want to tell me these things like an adult who leaves home?"
Miss Writer pretended to be dissatisfied and asked. Shade could only shut up, but in fact he still had many things to pay attention to to Dorothy.
Looking sideways at the living room, the blazing flames were jumping in the fireplace. This afternoon, Lesia sent someone to help Shade light the fireplace. Shade, who happened to be home, studied it and confirmed that he had learned how to use the fireplace.
Dorothy brought the dinner to the table, and after sitting down, she told Shade her plans for the evening.
She planned to hold the cat in her arms tonight and sit on the carpet in front of the fireplace to read a book. Although the living room of the apartment she rented on Quill Street also had a fireplace, it was far less grand than here in Shade.
"Mia, you have to follow Dorothy tonight and don't run around."
Since Dorothy already thought that Shade was a bit nagging, Shade pointed at Mia and "taught" her again while eating. The orange and white kitten tilted its head and looked at him, then straightened its neck and squinted.
He closed his eyes, raised his buttocks slightly, kicked his two furry front paws forward and his back paws back, making a stretching movement.
"It doesn't want to listen to your nagging either."
Dorothy said with a smile and fed the cat a small piece of egg. Mia sniffed it carefully and bit it when Shade nodded. Because of this piece of egg, Dorothy picked up four little paws and rushed to the cat after dinner.
When he looked at the cat with its snow-white belly exposed in the sky, it actually didn't resist.
The Book Salon of the Prophet's Association was held by Lesia. It is expected to start at seven o'clock tonight and end around nine to nine-thirty. Shade started to pack his clothes after dinner. After Dorothy helped him tidy up his tie, he
Confirmed that it is ready to go.
The homely blonde girl carried the lazy cat and sent Shade downstairs. While Shade was changing his shoes, he emphasized again:
"Because [Jack Thief] becomes stronger when he encounters strength, I did not take [Night Watch] to the Prophet's Association. Dorothy, I put that sword in..."
"Next to the fireplace, with the poker, within arm's reach."
Dorothy repeated, Shade opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so the blonde girl stretched out her arms and hugged Shade:
"Say hello to Lesia for me, I hope you have a good time tonight."
Dorothy opened the door for him and gave him the "Hamilton Detective Stories" that Shade was going to bring to the salon - Shade couldn't have brought "The Queen and Her Lovers" at home, and then gave him
Shade pushed into the howling night wind outside the door. The winter night wind irritated the skin like a knife. It was the 27th day of the Frost Moon, and the cold winter had arrived.
The time came to half past six, the sun had completely set, and the lights on St. Teresa's Square were starting to turn on. Standing in the halo of dim lights, Shade turned and looked at the foyer of his home.
Dorothy held the cat in one hand and waved goodbye to Shade in the light. The wind blowing into the foyer made her hair sway in her ears. Shade also waved goodbye slowly, but his intuition reminded him,
Something is probably going to happen again tonight.
Saint Teresa Square is only one street away from Silver Cross Avenue, so Shade can walk there. When he turned into Silver Cross Avenue, he saw that the gas lamps on Silver Cross Avenue were particularly bright tonight. In the fog, the uniform
The distributed halos completely illuminate the entire street, which is a sight that has never been seen before.
This appearance was not due to Lesia's reading salon, but the church obviously believed that Jack the Thief's target tonight was Yodel Palace. When Shade stepped onto the Silver Cross Avenue, he saw a denser crowd than usual.
The patrol police are patrolling the streets. The patrol policemen who used to work in teams of two have now become teams of four.
You can even occasionally see one or two ring warlocks mixed in with ordinary police officers. [Jack Thief] becomes stronger when he encounters a strong one. Before he actually appeared, the church was very cautious about security arrangements.
"The fire of civilization!"
As he walked, he looked at the street lamp, and then remembered the arrow that he failed to shoot yesterday afternoon. Although it was already twenty-four hours ago, Shade had a hunch that as long as he could not completely shoot the arrow,
Arrow, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart as if he was being scratched by hundreds of thousands of little Mias would always bother him.
Thinking of this, Shade waited for a while, but "she" did not correct him. The last time Shade thought was "tens of thousands", which disappointed Shade. But he immediately heard "her" gentleness again.
smile, and my mood immediately improved a lot, and even the moon covered by mist seemed to become rounder.
Tonight's event is said to be a "Reading Salon", but it is actually an event under the instruction of King Larus III, aimed at strengthening the relationship between the Carsonric and Delarion royal families. This summer, Lecia will visit Willendale City.
When I was a kid, I also participated in similar salons.
Therefore, among the invited guests, the entourage of Princess Margaret's delegation and the writer and cultural critic Kasenlik living in Tobesk together accounted for one-third of the guests. Of course, it was Schad who
Sir Prisha, who I am thinking about and possesses the core spiritual rune of "Guiding Moon", will also be present. After all, he is a very famous poet in Kassenric.
As for Delarion, in addition to Lesia, the 16-year-old princess Agelina and the 19-year-old Prince Nasser will also participate.
According to the habits of the nobles in the Tobesk area, reading salons generally do not invite too many people. The invited people will use artificial but elegant language to talk about books, literature, academics, fashion, and sometimes even rumors.
Rumors and Rhodes Cards. Lecia's reading salon invited a total of 34 guests this time, which can be regarded as a large-scale salon.
When Shade arrived at the door of the Prophet's Association, guests were already arriving one after another. The lobby on the first floor of the Prophet's Association, which was closed at night, had dim lights that made people feel trance-like.
As the hostess of the salon, Lesia arrived at the Prophet's Association before anyone else. Following Shade's advice, she chose a room on the second floor that could see the Yodel Palace. When Shade came to the red-carpeted room
When they reached the room at the end of the corridor, Lesia had already brought her brother and sister to greet the guests at the door of the room.
