Xia De got off the carriage at the intersection, and was very interested in the float parade. But because there were too many people, he gave up the idea of onlookers. But when I took out the key to open the door, I met Mrs. and Mrs. Smith, the next-door neighbors who were about to travel.
They've also been invited to tonight's yodeling reception and are now heading out to pick up their custom gowns.
"So, before Mr. Smith retired, he was definitely not an ordinary Secretary of the Treasury Department."
Xia De judged.
When I got home, I didn't see Mia running down the stairs when I was changing shoes in the hall. Probably because the sound outside was too loud, the cat didn't hear the door opening on the first floor.
Therefore, when Xia De found the orange cat who was clawing at the wall in the empty second floor room No. 2, the astonished expression on Mia's furry face was really ridiculous.
"Don't grind your claws on the wall."
Xia De warned in a low voice, bending over to pick Mia up. The soft cat meowed a few times, maybe it was acting like a baby, but it didn't break free from Xia De's arm.
Miss Galina and Tifa didn't show up until two o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Shade was flipping through the explanation of "Basic Ritual-Glowing" in the second grade textbook in the study room. The arrival of his witch.
Miss Galina will go to the Yodel Palace to dress up and change clothes later, but she has brought a banquet dress for Shad, and plans to keep two maids to help Shad with hair and dressing.
Of course, the most important thing is that Miss Aurora agreed to meet Shade in the Witch Council this afternoon. In order to prevent being discovered by other witches, the meeting time between the two was only ten minutes at most. Miss Galina stood at the end of the corridor on the third floor before she was about to sing, and specifically asked Xia De not to exceed the time limit.
"Do you have to sing in a corridor-like terrain every time before entering the parliament?"
Xia De, who still had some thoughts about the [Witch Council], took the opportunity to inquire.
"It is not necessary to have a corridor, but a flat terrain space with a certain length that can be walked straight. There is no requirement whether the surrounding area is open or flat."
Saying so, the red-haired duchess grabbed Shad's hand:
"The appointed time is up, come with me."
She began to sing softly, and Tifa smiled and followed behind the two. Of course, the maid lady also has the right to enter the witch council.
Miss Aurora didn't know what she was doing, and she showed up two minutes later than the appointed time. Miss Galina seemed to want to complain, but because Xia De couldn't stay here for too long, she asked Xia De to ask her own question first.
Miss Xi Wei Aurora, whom I haven't seen for more than a week, doesn't seem to have changed much. She has probably arrived in the Kingdom of Carsonrick, and the style of her clothes has strong characteristics of the Southern Kingdom.
"Enlightenment-Light? You have been reading "The Crazy Light Chaser" for two months? St. Byrence is really nothing new, always use this book."
Hearing Xia De's inquiry, the witch raised her eyebrows, put one hand on the stone table, and fiddled with her brown hair:
"Your talent is not bad. Since you also think that you can obtain the spirit rune in a week at most, then at this last moment, you don't have to look for relics related to light to experience power.
My suggestion is, Xia De, you go to find the relics related to [Darkness], and use darkness to force yourself to understand light more deeply. Of course, touching relics is risky, and you'll have to weigh that for yourself. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Miss Galina, who waved her hand:
"Don't worry, I will protect him."
"dark......"
Xia De nodded, [Dark Realm] is an angel-level relic, it is too dangerous, but fortunately he has other options:
"Miss Galina, I wonder if that [Box of Darkness] is still in your possession."
He turned his head and asked Miss Galina who was sitting at the round table, and the latter answered while wiping her nails with a knife:
"It's still there, but I lent it out. I think you can go to my manor to get it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
[The Box of Darkness] is a relic that Xia De accidentally lost control of when he "met" Miss Galina at the Lucky Southern Cross Club for the first time. Both of them had a deep impression on this item.
"Of course, while feeling the power of darkness, oppressing yourself with negative emotions will have a better effect. My suggestion is that you feel the power of fear, and fall into the darkness while deep in fear."
Miss Aurora thought for a while, and then reminded:
"The more you fear, the more obvious the effect will be. But I don't think you are a cowardly person, so you have to try many times before you can use this method to force yourself to touch the purest [light] in your heart. Use This way, you may be able to succeed in a few days."
So it is indeed feasible to follow Miss Aurora's method, but Xia De is faster. Fortunately, he has a better idea. Since ordinary fear is not effective, he chooses a more powerful fear, which is [Dread Fort]. The fear caused by the strange existence entrenched in the corridor before entering the gambling room is the most powerful fear that Shad has felt so far.
Although [Box of Darkness] cannot be brought back into the past, Shade can definitely break into the corridor and face that weird thing when he is about to leave the fifth era in 1784. Fleeing away from that thing can cause fear, and the effect of facing it directly is stronger.
As long as you control the time well, before encountering real danger, be sent back to the time of the sixth era by the father of the infinite tree, and then immediately recite the spell to make the box of darkness out of control. In this way, he can almost guarantee that he will be able to obtain the Enlightenment Rune related to [Light] immediately.
But a problem arose from this. The Fifth Epoch in 1784 had only one last chance. If the bet could not be resolved effectively this time, then the mission of the time key would have failed.
Thinking of this, Xia De remembered the conversation with Luvia not long ago:
"For the contents of the last four slots, two Impermanence Cards replace two, and another experience replaces one, and now only one is missing. Moreover, I don't know what will happen when the Impermanence Card is inserted into the slot... "
Therefore, in order to obtain the spiritual rune related to [Light], the real problem Shade needs to solve is to obtain the last part of the fifth era prophet, Mr. Riddle's life experience.
Seeing Xia De's pensive look, the witches knew that he had already made up his mind.
Miss Aurora scratched in the air with her fingers, leaving the words "darkness" and "light" in the air in the traces of light from her fingertips.
"Of course, I am giving you this suggestion because light and darkness are one, they are opposite and unified."
"I understand that's how the teachings of the Church of Dawn are written. However, it seems that you all know the technique of leaving light trails in the air."
Because he had already asked about his own affairs clearly, Xia De was able to easily crack a joke.
"Don't underestimate this skill. It takes talent to carefully control your own light. I don't know if you noticed that the Godcaller used a similar skill when he split the giant mermaid corpse in Lengshui Harbor."
She probably took Moonlight Slash as another thaumaturgy.
So Miss Galina took Xia De and left the parliament to prevent being discovered by other witches.
Unwilling to give up, Shad still asked Miss Galina about Sledge Riddle. But as Luvia said, apart from the Prophet Association, no other organization would record this ordinary man of the Fifth Epoch at all.
"Although I can break into the [Dark Realm] without the [Light], I still need it for the convenience of action. Do I have to give up the mission of the third time key for the sake of the [Light]? Or should I carry it with me? That door-shaped pendant, can you enter the past time as a last resort?"
Comparing the importance of the time key and the second candidate in his heart, after Miss Galina left, Xia De also began to prepare for the evening banquet with the help of the two maids. Although in his opinion, it is enough to have a formal suit and comb your hair, but obviously Miss Galina doesn't think so.
In this way, in the evening of this day, Xia De thanked and sent away the two maids downstairs in his house. After saying goodbye to Mia who insisted on staying at home and refusing to go out, he went to Old John's Antique Store and got the coin A silver-white ring with three diamond-like crystals inlaid.
Xia De lowered his head to examine the beautiful silver ring. Old John teased him for his attire as if he was "going to seduce an ignorant noble lady", and then curiously asked Xia De, the colored ribbon he was holding What's inside the **** gift box.
Queen Diana's birthday was the headline of all the newspapers today. Old John guessed that Shad was going to the Yodel Palace, so he was very curious about his gift.
"Father, you can take it apart and check it out, but make sure you can re-tie it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xia De said, and then remembered the scene when he asked Miss Galina's maid to help tie the gift not long ago.
"Detective, don't look down on me too much. It's better to make sure it's better than just now. I can deliver the sold goods by relying on my packing skills... But, you are a stingy guy, how will you send them?" what?"
Papa John looked genuinely curious, and after getting permission, he carefully pulled the ribbon away. After opening the box, I was surprised that wrinkles appeared on my forehead:
"Oh, this is really... I have seen many big pearls, but such round ones are really rare."
"It cost a lot of money, and I asked a friend to get it from Lengshui Harbor."
Xia De said in a low voice, putting the silver ring on his finger, the size is very suitable. Ordinary ring warlocks can only target one target at a time with [Mind Blast], but Shad of "Divine Afterglow" can target no more than three targets.
Point the ringed finger at the target's head, or the equivalent of a head, when casting the spell. The closer the distance, the more obvious the effect of [Mind Blast]. If the target's mind is particularly fragile, the thaumaturgy is very likely to smash the opponent's head directly when Xia De directly presses his finger on the opponent's forehead.
"You are really willing to exchange such a big pearl for a practical poet-level relic, maybe someone will be willing to exchange it."
Papa John was amazed.
"This should be considered an investment, so it's not a waste of money."
Xia De corrected, and Old John nodded, agreeing with this sentence. It's just that when I was looking for tools to reseal the gift box, I played Xia De's joke again:
"I want to remind you. Detective, unlike the duchess, Queen Diana is married."
Shad ignored him.
