"Tifa and I met the nuns of the order in the dark realm, and we know something."
Shad nodded.
"The [Spiritual Religion] has a good relationship with the parliament not only because of the wide range of friends you have made, but also because of Granny Cassandra. She is really a native of Midhill Castle. She was helped by the sect when she was young, and she also I have helped the order. Of course, this is also because, although there are men and women in the [Spiritual Order], they are mainly women. Especially the nuns who are qualified to wear silver crowns as eye patches, their eyes are very sharp... ...Although these women are sometimes more talkative than the fortune tellers of the Prophet Association, they are very capable. If you need, I can also send you a letter and ask them to give you some help, But it can only be a letter of recommendation and cannot reveal our relationship."
But if it's just a letter of introduction instead of the help of the local great witch, Ms. Cassandra, the help and convenience that [Spiritual Religion] can provide to Xia De is obviously very limited.
Xia De thought for a while:
"In short, let me contact the [Spiritual Religion] first. I want to think about Ms. Cassandra's matter."
"Okay, Tifa, send the letter I wrote to Xia De, and remember to stamp it. The [Spiritual Religion] is mainly active in the eastern part of the mainland. They existed in Fort Midhill in the last era. I know more about the boundary between death and death than I do. The current leader of the order is Sister Divelin, a sorcerer with eleven rings. Although she is disabled, she is a very beautiful and elegant lady with a figure... ..”
"Ahem."
Tifa, who was opening the inkpad box on the desk, coughed violently. The witch glanced at her, stopped talking, and then smiled at Shad:
"In short, you go to her with my letter, and she shouldn't mind giving you some help. People in the [Spiritual Religion] respect nature and death, and believe that all things have spirits. Apart from that, there is nothing to shy away from. .”
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing Xia De's thoughtful expression, she indicated that he had a question to talk about.
"That Ms. Cassandra, how come she is over a hundred years old and only has ten rings? No, I'm not saying that ten rings are very low, but compared to you..."
The red-haired witch put down the teacup with a smile, Xia De noticed that she was wearing a pair of white lace gloves today:
"I know what you mean. I'm only in my twenties, and I already have eleven rings. Although Tifa only has six rings, she is younger. It's easy to explain. We have two supernatural systems that promote each other. Let the witches progress very quickly. But this kind of growth requires talent. We are very similar to ordinary ring magicians. Ring magicians just grow slower, but they will also encounter magic spells at a certain level. An extremely difficult situation."
Xia De nodded to express his understanding. It would be very strange if everyone had the potential to become the Thirteenth Ring. The middle-aged witch he met at the reception of the blood-sucking **** [Vampire Duke Rael] also took the risk of participating in the reception of the evil **** because she wanted to gain breakthrough power.
"My limit is about the eleventh ring. To be honest, I have stayed at this level for more than two years. This is normal for ordinary ring warlocks, but it is almost equivalent to stagnation for witches."
"So what about Tifa's talent?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"It's hard to say. Talent is not something that can be tested by touching the crystal ball in storybooks. But doesn't she have a gift from Fei Lianna? If you encounter difficulties, just upgrade to a level."
Miss Fei Lianna's gift allows Tifa's witch level to be forced to be upgraded except for the 12th level and 13th level. In other words, if Tifa can be promoted to an eleventh-level witch like Miss Galina, then she can immediately become a twelfth-level witch.
"It's really enviable..."
Miss Galina sighed softly, but there was not much jealousy in her tone:
"But fortunately, Tifa is mine."
The black-haired maid blinked at Xia De, and the slightly playful eyes did not know what to express.
Because at Miss Galina's place, he talked with her about Castle Midhill until late at night, so Shade didn't go home that night.
Anyway, he brought Mia out, so he and the cat stayed in the Witch's Manor. Miss Galina specially arranged a room for Xia De in the manor, and every time Xia De spent the night in the manor, he would rest here.
Early on Friday morning, the carriage drove Shade into the city. He first went to the Prophet Association to sign some documents, received other prizes for the "Big City Player 1854" champion, and chatted with Vice President Mark about the competition for a while.
Then he went to Coldwater Harbor and asked Mr. Edmund about Fort Midhill and [Life and Death]. The old gentleman was quite surprised after hearing what Shade said there, and said that he did know something.
"You should know that the Priory is a very ancient organization. Our research and records on it may be more detailed than the Church of the Five Gods. The boundary between life and death should not exist, but it is actually because of the world's by mistake."
"What is the 'mistake of the world'?"
Xia De asked curiously, and the old man gave a very serious answer:
"The departure of the ancient **** in charge of death [Ancient Death God] has caused the instability of the rules of death itself."
He suddenly lowered his voice, which meant that he was going to talk about the great ones who really existed:
"Think about it carefully, young man, among the current five righteous gods, which one has [death] as its main priesthood?"
Xia De thought for a while, then shook his head in surprise:
"Yes, the monks believe that the appearance of the narrow gap between life and death represents the initial sign of the end of the world. The continuous occurrence of problems in the narrow gap means that the end is getting closer."
Shad has not forgotten that this is an organization that advocates doomsday theory:
"But the initial appearance of life and death can even be traced back to the fourth era and even earlier eras. Could it be that the destruction of the world began from then on?"
He couldn't help asking, Mr. Edmond was a little embarrassed:
"These are still to be studied, but the world is getting more and more wrong, this is a fact that can be concluded."
Although Mr. Edmond didn't know how to rescue the people who strayed into the narrow space, his words at least told Shad how terrible this wrong phenomenon was.
Instead of having lunch at the lighthouse, Shad returned home before lunch, and after lunch with the cat, the doctor, Dorothy, and Luvia all arrived at about one o'clock.
The doctor first divided the bonuses they won from betting in underground casinos as the champions of big city players. When the doctor went to bet, Shad was basically sure that he could advance to the final, so the odds at that time were 1 to 1.51. Xia De bet 1,200 pounds, and after deducting the handling fee and the doctor's hard work, he got back 1,750 pounds. This money not only made up for the cost of purchasing the spell [Elf's Detoxification Art) last Saturday, but even enriched Xia De's wallet.
It would have been a happy event for all if it weren't for the Augustus priest thing. But the priest is dying now, and they're not in the mood to celebrate winning the money. So after hastily congratulating Shad again for winning the title of "King of Rhodes Cards in 1853", others shared the different news they brought.
"The college has launched an investigation in Midhill Castle. They moved quickly and confirmed the disappearance of Priest Augustus. Although they couldn't have a look with Shad, they really confirmed that the priest fell into the boundary between life and death. But I also doubted the legend of Midhill Castle. At present, St. Byrence is negotiating with the church and wants to find out the secrets of Midhill Castle."
After all, the college is far away from the civilized world, and the Church of the Five Gods knows the many mysteries of the civilized world best.
"The missing people are not just Augustus priests. More than ten people have disappeared in the downtown area of Fort Midhill and the surrounding West Cale Hill recently. The church is investigating this, but they refuse to disclose the relevant information to St. Byrence. Details, because they don't think it has anything to do with the three thaumaturgy academies."
"What the **** does the church know? Why does it seem to be deliberately keeping a secret?"
Xia De asked suspiciously, and Dr. Schneider shook his head:
"It can only be determined that the local problems are large."
"The Royal Army stationed near Fort Midhill also had two cases of disappearances, but they have not reported to the church because they involved the front-line garrisons."
Dorothy said that both Luvia and Dr. Schneider looked at her in surprise, curious about her source.
"I managed to get a summary of the abnormal phenomena in Fort Midhill over the years, and you can check them yourself."
She gave Xia De a big exaggerated brown paper bag, and she didn't know how Rezia got so much information in half a day.
"Does the Society of Prophet have information about Fort Midhill?"
Xia De asked Luvia again, who nodded:
"The association's record about Midhill Castle is very strange. It only mentions that the ring warlocks of the association must never hold large-scale psychic ceremonies in that city, and forbid any prophets with strong divination inspiration to go there. More information I need permission to view it, and I need some time to apply. At present, I only know that the association is very afraid of Fort Midhill."
"Well~www.mtlnovel.com~ the church and college should be working hard to figure out what happened in Fort Midhill, but we can't just do nothing."
Shad concluded:
"I've been going to Fort Midhill a lot these days and I have a few friends there too."
"You have so many friends."
Dr. Schneider commented casually.
"The time when the priest disappeared was between two and four in the afternoon on Wednesday. According to the most optimistic scenario, he can survive for a week at the boundary between life and death. Today is Friday, that is to say, before next Wednesday, I will Will be at Midhill Castle most of the day. Dorothy, please help me take care of Mia."
Only writers who don't need to go to work every day have time.
"Okay, I come to your house every morning, and I can write anywhere anyway."
"Doctor, keep in touch with the academy, and hope that the academy can think of a solution as soon as possible."
The doctor nodded, but didn't look very optimistic. If Priest Augustus can be saved, even if the priest is only a correspondence student, the college will definitely do its best. But the problem is that the Church of the Five Gods does not plan to share with the academy what is going on in Fort Midhill, and they have no information channels to inquire about the actions of the church itself. (Note)
"Dorothy, you need to continue to work hard to get the information in the Prophet's Association. The college's understanding of Fort Midhill is a bit unexpected. Except for my friends and the church, we can only learn from the Prophet's Association. Got a clue."
"No problem, but I want to warn you, Xia De, please remember. If it is not a last resort, you must never enter the [Life of Life and Death]."
Luvia spoke seriously, and the doctor and Dorothy also nodded:
"We've almost lost the priest, we can't afford to lose a second."
