This Saturday afternoon's study meeting, although without Luvia, was still held as usual.
Shade informed the three doctors that he had successfully reached the Randall Valley and met Luvia. Everyone was not surprised by Shade's "high speed". After all, they all knew one step ahead of Luvia.
Shade has long wanted to go to Randall Valley City.
In the third week after the exam week, everyone was thinking about their studies for the next grade. After sharing their experiences and study plans with each other, the doctor convened the three of them to submit their elective course plans to the school.
Shade already has elective courses from Miss Danister and Professor Garcia, so he has not chosen other courses for the time being. But because there is a new spiritual rune [Puppet], and the academy can also let him learn a thaumaturgy for free,
So Shade wanted to learn a new thaumaturgy.
Since it was free, it was natural to choose the most expensive one. After careful selection and referring to Dr. Schneider's advice, Shade chose the thaumaturgy [Puppetry]. The only effect of this thaumaturgy is to contact a certain person.
After hitting the target, it attaches itself to the target with its own spirit, and then briefly controls the opponent's actions.
The effects of thaumaturgy have great limitations, such as the consumption is very high, the effect on ring magicians is not very strong, the duration is short, and the distance between the caster and the target cannot be too far.
But even so, if Shade had not obtained this magical skill through the academic year reward, he would have to spend 3,200 pounds to buy it from the academy. [Puppetry] is the ultimate skill of the Ring Warlock system with "control" as the core.
Margaret is such a magician of the fundamental thaumaturgy. Based on [Puppetry], in addition to the manipulation of humans learned by Shade and the combination of puppets and stories by Margaret, it can also be extended to a series of
More complex and effective thaumaturgy.
Of course, the core of Shade's system is [Silver Moon] and [Time and Space], and he will not go into depth in "Puppetry", but this thaumaturgy is still very useful to him. His current Ring Warlock system includes attacks,
Defense, transformation, treatment, detection, movement, etc., but in terms of control, only [Psychic Blast] can be used reluctantly.
And [Puppetry] has given him new abilities and characteristics. Even if it is of little use when facing strong enemies, it is also a very useful thaumaturgy in daily life and investigation.
Because the academy provides free learning materials, Shade had dinner with Dorothy that night, and then held the ceremony with the help of Her Royal Highness. The casting of thaumaturgy requires the casting material "spider thread", which is very common.
Shade has a spare at home.
"Try an experiment on me."
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lecia, who was sitting on the sofa, said to Shade. Shade then stood up and reached out to pat her shoulder. Then he took two steps back and felt that five lines of sight extended out from the five fingers of his right hand.
The missing thread.
He tried to control Lecia to raise her hands, but Lecia just moved her fingers and suppressed Shade's order.
"Sure enough, for targets who have been prepared, the effect of thaumaturgy will be further weakened, and you are now at the same level as me."
Shade looked at his hands and came to the conclusion:
"This thaumaturgy can be most effective during a sneak attack."
With that said, he patted little Mia again who was standing on the back of the sofa.
The silly cat looked up at him, thinking that something was wrong with Shade. Then, under Lesia's slightly surprised gaze, the cat jumped up on the back of the sofa, performed a beautiful backflip, and stood firmly again.
on the sofa.
Little Mia didn't understand what was happening, and looked around with some confusion, wondering why the world had spun around on its own.
"Look, my cat finally does a backflip."
Shade smiled and hugged Mia and said to Lesia. Her Highness the Princess pursed her lips and smiled:
"Okay, okay, let's go to the study. Dorothy and I have agreed to teach you the fairy tale "Grey's Glass Slippers". Then we will start classes this week."
Shade nodded and stood up, reaching out to pull Lesia up. Her Royal Highness the Princess said softly:
"Since I have to teach you again after a long absence, you want to call me teacher."
"Of course, it's nothing."
"I mean, you're going to keep calling me teacher tonight."
Her green eyes looked at Shade. Lecia was very busy throughout the first month of life, and tonight was one of the few opportunities to go on a date with Shade.
(Little Mia is running.)
It’s Sunday, and the most important thing of the day is to attend the event at the Wilde Opera House that evening.
Of course, Shade was not idle during the day. He first went to Middleburg to find Granny Cassandra, and asked Miss Aurora for help through the old witch, seeking information on the God-summoning ritual [Contact Earth-Shaking Worm]. Of course, he didn't
Forgot to fully inform the witches about the "Crazy Land" and let the council inform the church.
With the church trying to find a way to curb the ever-increasing problems in Randall Valley City, Shade only needs to wait for the chosen one to appear, and then try his best to help complete the ceremony.
Then he went to Randall Valley, found Miss Lassers, and got a document bag that recorded many urban legends and rumors about ring warlocks in Randall Valley City.
Because they were going to perform for the princess and the prince at the Wilde Opera House that night, the entire Golden Dawn Opera Company was undergoing intense rehearsals. Although Miss Benenice still had some minor objections to Shade, Miss Lassers, as deputy director
, I am still very happy that Shade exists. Therefore, this lady, who also has blond hair, takes Shade to meet other ring magicians in the opera troupe, which can be regarded as making Shade familiar with the members of the Golden Dawn.
The Golden Dawn itself is not a ring magician organization with only witches, so the members are not surprised that the deputy leader found a strange man, but they are just curious about Miss Benanith's attitude towards Shade.
Miss Benenice will not perform publicly tonight. She is busy acquiring the Wilde Opera House, so Shade did not see her this morning. However, he is looking forward to the performance of this famous artist today.
At the end of the night, what kind of singing voice will be revealed to him.
Time quickly came to the evening, and when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the fountain statue in front of the Randall Valley Prophets Association, making the light and shadow of the statue extremely strange, Shade had already appeared in the square in front of the fountain.
He picked up Luvia who had finished her day's work, and then had dinner with Luvia. After dinner, the two hurried back to the Fertile Land Hotel and put on the formal attire and dress they wore when going to the opera house. Of course, Luvia
In order to prevent others from seeing her in the opera house with a strange man, Via also put on a certain disguise, but this did not affect the charm of the purple-eyed girl.
Most of the audiences who could be invited to watch this opera were prominent nobles in the city, or guests who came from afar with Margaret and William of Anjou. Originally, for safety reasons, the invited audience was limited to a small number, but
Prince William of Anjou, who was well-known in Carsonique, relaxed the restrictions on this concert on the grounds that he wanted to be lively.
It was also because of this that Shade was able to get the money from Miss Lassers.
Because of the special nature of this opera house, the tickets in his hand were for ordinary auditoriums instead of boxes. When entering the theater with Luvia, Shade also complained to his female companion:
"Tonight's opera is Orfinino. I heard that it will take three and a half hours to complete."
"But aren't most operas between two and three hours? This one is just a little longer."
Luvia knew that Shade had never been able to appreciate opera, so she also understood that he thought it was a waste of time:
"Mr. Watson, do you know what a precious opportunity it is to enjoy the performance of the Golden Dawn Opera Company?"
She happily held Shade's arm, and they entered Hall 1 from the right door together. When Shade lowered his head to confirm the seat number on the ticket, the purple-eyed girl smiled and made a prophecy:
"When I got back to Tobesk and told Dorothy that I could see the Golden Dawn, she would be jealous that I could also hear Miss Vanessa Benenice singing. It was so exciting.
.”
Luvia can appreciate high art better than outsiders.
"The most important thing tonight is indeed this. In a moment, I will introduce Margaret to you."
Having said this, Shade is still a little embarrassed. Another mission of Margaret coming to Randall Valley City is to accept the test of Miss Benanis to become her apprentice, and Margaret and Bernanis
The lady also made an appointment to meet after the opera tonight.
Shade wanted to take this opportunity to let Margaret get to know Luvia. Luvia knew about the relationship between Shade and Margaret after the princess walked in the snow before leaving Tobesk last year, but
Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Southern Kingdom does not know Luvia.
"Let's get to know each other? That's good."
The corners of her mouth turned up, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. Shade continued to talk about his recent plans. At present, he has no idea about the ritual of calling the evil god, so next week, in addition to the time key, he plans to visit the local area.
folklore and urban legends.
On the one hand, it was to find further clues about the "Crazy Land", and maybe find out the news about the chosen one; on the other hand, he was also really curious about the mithril cube left by Mr. Granger.
, what kind of gift is hidden?
Everything went well during the opera performance, the princess and the prince were sitting in the box upstairs, so Margaret probably didn't know that Chard was here.
During this period, there were no relics that suddenly appeared, no gun-toting thugs, and no cultists who came out of nowhere. In Shade's view, Iluna and the possible "chosen ones of the earth" were not there.
Of course, there won't be so many accidents in such situations. Although he often encounters weird things and dangerous adventures, those things are those that he touches on his own initiative, rather than accidentally coming to him.
