Listening to the words of the blond writer, Xia De sat on his bed with the big apple, not knowing why.
Miss Louisa stood up suddenly, and stretched out her hand to grab the stranger's hand with a resolute expression. Xia De sat on the bed without even a chance to dodge.
"Xia De, if you are interested in the elements of enlightenment, I am willing to help you improve on this path... You don't know, [The Little Match Girl] Spirit Rune is very important for obtaining civilizational enlightenment from stories. The Ring Warlock, how unbelievable."
Xia De understood the situation and squirmed on the bed uneasily. Seeing that Xia De was caught, Mia also "snarled" at the blonde girl, but her voice was so weak that people who were not familiar with the cat would suspect that it was being coquettish.
And Xia De suspected that Miss Louisa let him eat breakfast in bed just to make him "nowhere to escape". Of course, her strength is not strong, if Xia De intends to break free, he doesn't even need to use much effort:
"Miss Louisa, don't be so excited. You mean, you want to guide you to discover the power of the enlightenment rune?"
He tried to communicate with the agitated Miss Louisa, but the distance between the two was too close. In addition to the aroma of breakfast, he also smelled a scent in the apartment that Miss Louisa rented.
"Not only that, if you need, I can teach you everything I know, Xia De, I am not just a four-ring warlock, I have my secret... In exchange, you need to cooperate with me, Study the power of your spirit rune."
She looked at Xia De eagerly, her golden hair seemed to be shining against the morning light. Xia De was indeed taken aback by the enthusiasm of the lady in front of him at first, but after thinking about it, this is actually very good. He just happened to lack someone who could teach him the power of a ring warlock more deeply:
"No problem, that's fine."
He nodded.
A smile appeared on Miss Louisa's face, she let go of Xia De's hand, and sat back on the chair. He fiddled with the hair beside his ears with his hands:
"Very good, I thought you would refuse, after all, most people don't like others to touch their secrets."
But compared with the origin of the outsider, this is not a secret at all.
"What will you do if I say no?"
Xia De asked curiously, continuing to stir the porridge with a spoon. Seeing that the "dangerous" situation had passed, Cat Mia continued to spy on Xia De's breakfast.
"Threatening you with the 6,000 pounds worth of paper you burned last night... just kidding, we're friends, I wouldn't do that kind of thing, and you saved me. But, In a few weeks, when the owner of those pages returns to Tobesk, you're going to apologize with me. Compensation is unnecessary, I have a good relationship with her, and you promised to let me study, I mean let me teach you , is enough to repay.”
Xia De was amused by Miss Louisa's attitude, but he was also relieved that he did not have to pay for the expensive pages of mysterious knowledge.
"Xia De, from now on, every Saturday, after leaving the doctor's office, you come to my place, and we will conduct lectures and research. Don't worry, since I promised to teach you, you don't have to worry about the enlightenment runes of each ring in the future."
Miss Louisa said confidently, it was only then that Xia De noticed that she did not know when she got up and called him by his first name.
"In addition, thank you for your trust and willingness to share this secret with me. Then for your peace of mind, I will also tell you my secret."
Xia De looked up at her, and the blonde girl was a little embarrassed:
"The owner of those pages of "The Little Match Girl" is Princess Rezia Cavendish. I have a very good relationship with her, but neither of us wants to tell others about this relationship."
"Why? Because you are..."
Xia De cautiously made a gesture, and Miss Louisa blushed immediately:
"Of course not, Xia De, don't think about it. It's just because the two of us have an extraordinary connection. I will tell you about this connection when Rezia returns to Tobesk. Oh, Rezia is also a ring Warlock, Wuhuan, is also proficient in enlightenment elements. She is a student of Zarath College of Literature. Si Huan has been studying in Zarath College of Literature before, and later applied to be a correspondence student. I learned about Zarath College of Literature from her. knowledge that can help you.”
From this, Xia De is absolutely sure that Miss Louisa is definitely not some academic spy of the Zarath Academy of Arts. He even suspected that the female writer was an academic spy of St. Byrence Comprehensive College to steal the knowledge of Zaras Liberal Arts College.
But he still felt strange, since Miss Louisa had a good relationship with Princess Leizia, even if they didn't meet each other, they definitely wouldn't deliberately carry out anti-divination every time they communicated in letters. Logically speaking, it is impossible for St. Byrence to "fail to find out the connection between Miss Louisa and the royal family".
"It's really strange."
He thought about it, bowed his head and continued to eat. Maybe when I meet the princess who is visiting a foreign country, all these secrets will be known.
If Xia De and Miss Louisa hadn't visited the girl little Sophie, there is a high probability that the family would disappear into the material world without a sound, leaving no clues, and no one would know what happened.
This once again told Xia De how dangerous this world really is. But fortunately, it was just the gaze of the evil god. Even if he didn't have the afterglow state of divinity, he could survive it with a little luck.
Miss Louisa was also seriously injured last night, but she also recovered to health on Sunday morning after Shade woke up. According to her, it was a cure given when the mythos disappeared. In the story of "Match Girl", the girl is redeemed in the last flame. And it is reflected in the mythos, when the mythos disappears, all friendly units inside the mythos will be healed to a certain extent.
Last night was not without other gains, the moment of being watched by the evil **** [God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea] was extremely dangerous, but because of this, both Xia De and Miss Louisa gained from the profane elements.
They compared their gains with each other, and Xia De obtained the spell [Underwater Breathing], which literally means that he can breathe underwater. Because it is from the gaze of the evil god, unlike normal spellcasting that requires water plants and other spellcasting materials, Shade doesn't need anything.
What Miss Louisa got was the spell [Bubble Head Curse], and she demonstrated this spell on the spot.
The first is to open the mouth, a small transparent bubble floats out of the mouth, and then the bubble becomes bigger until it wraps the whole head.
Mia immediately frowned, stopped in front of Xia De and meowed at the "monster", probably wanting to protect Xia De.
"It's okay...what's the use of this?"
Xia De hugged the small cat to comfort it, and then asked Miss Louisa. Miss Louisa stretched out her finger and popped the bubble with a bang:
"This kind of bubble can store a large amount of air we breathe, and can isolate harmful gases in a toxic gas environment. In theory, it can also help underwater breathing, but the time is limited, and the air in the bubble is limited."
Speaking of it this way, Xia De still thinks that the "Bubble Head Curse" is more effective, but Miss Louisa insists that "breathing underwater" is more useful. Even though they live far inland from the coastline, there's never a good time when an underwater adventure will be called for.
After confirming that Xia De gradually recovered his health, Miss Louisa left the Saint Teresa Square. The two agreed to officially start teaching and research next Saturday night. Miss Louisa will remind Xia De again during the group meeting on Saturday afternoon, and within this week, find ways to make things easier for Xia De. Tome for obtaining the Enlightenment rune.
She slept on the sofa last night and didn't have a good rest. Now she has to go back to rest and go to the opera with Miss Anat in the evening.
Before leaving, Xia De also asked her about the "white stone crystal" and the triangle symbol at the bottom of the potion bottle, but the female writer didn't know about it.
Miss Louisa recommended Shad to ask Priest Augustus:
"The priest is a ring warlock from the School of Chemistry. He has some research on minerals. He was born in a church and is proficient in heraldry. The priest can probably give you the answer."
Xia De didn't go out again this morning. His mental state is not good, and he needs to participate in the Rhodes game against the old Duke at night, so he plans to rest at home during the day.
When Miss Louisa helped fetch the goat milk in the morning, she brought newspapers and letters along the way.
The only letter was from the Church of the Dawn. He thought it was a letter from Priest Augustus, but when he opened it, he found it was Mr. Franky from the Church of the Dawn. This old gentleman led the church's "construction team" to help Shade open the first floor yesterday evening.
He originally said that he would find the key to Room No. 2 on the second floor as soon as possible and send it over, but he didn't expect to receive a letter in just one day.
But the letter is not good news, room 2 can not be opened yet.
"The church wants to find time for the exorcism ceremony?"
He sat on the dining table and looked at the letter in his hand~www.mtlnovel.com~ and read the key content in surprise:
"The Church of Dawn believes that there may still be hidden dangers in the second room where the mass suicide incident occurred, so it is necessary to find time for the church professionals to exorcise the demon before opening it... This is a good thing, maybe it can let them put it away. Room No. 1 also has an exorcism, anyway, it’s free.”
Although ordinary people in this era do not know the real existence of mystery, superstitions are common, and the church will also look for content related to mystery in large and small true and false "haunting" incidents. Therefore, the church's advocacy of exorcism does not appear abrupt to ordinary people.
Xia De put the letter aside casually, looked at the location of Room No. 2 on the second floor, and asked the voice in his heart again:
"Are you sure you have never felt an evil spirit on the second floor?"
[Unless there is a special hidden space like a basement, I'm sure. 】
Shade felt more at ease now.
