After returning to the city from outside Randall Valley, Shade went directly back to his home in Tobesk. Considering that he was going to spend the night in the wild tonight, little Mia definitely couldn't be taken with him. So Shade hurriedly took her with him
The cat went to find Dorothy, but Dorothy was not at home that afternoon.
So after asking around, Shade found the writer who had just finished her speech in the lecture hall of Tobesk Second Mechanical College.
She was invited to give a lecture on popular novel writing today, so she put on light makeup. Seeing Shade waiting for her at the door, the blonde girl happily invited Shade to have dinner with her tonight, but Shade refused:
"I'm going to spend the night in Randall Valley tonight, oh, don't get me wrong."
Shade saw the teasing look on the blonde girl's face:
"Not at Luvia's place. In fact, since Luvia left Tobesk, I have never been with her again. I want to spend the night in the wild, waiting for something to happen, so I ask you to take care of Mia tonight.
."
He handed his cat to Dorothy. Recently, Dorothy often helped Shade take care of it, so Mia did not refuse:
"Just pay attention to your own safety. Remember to come to me as soon as possible when you come back. I will probably worry all night again."
After saying that, he saw a guilty expression on Shade's face with satisfaction:
"Xia De, this is just an exaggeration. Pay attention to safety and remember to come back early."
After looking around to make sure there was no one in the corridor, she ruffled the hair beside her ears calmly, then stood on tiptoes and kissed the side of Shade's face. A faint smile appeared on the blonde girl's face.
Hongxia, if it were Lesia's soul, she would never have such a shy expression:
"Also, don't neglect Luvia. Really, Lesia and I don't spend the night at your place every night. If you always go home every night, Luvia will misunderstand me."
After dealing with Mia's matter, Shade took the [Night Watch] and returned to the Randall Valley. When he met him at the witch's manor, the witch had already gathered three nine-ring sorceresses and five middle-ring women.
Warlock, she obviously takes this operation very seriously.
Miss Lassus was not part of tonight's operation. Before everyone set off, she told Shade and Miss Bernanice to pay attention to safety. Such a large team was divided into three carriages and set off.
As for the [Night Watcher], because it was placed in the scabbard made by the old witch, it did not arouse Miss Bernice's suspicion. If it was not necessary, Shade would not use the power of this sword at will tonight.
When we arrived at Qingcao Farm, the sun had already set below the city, leaving only the last ray of afterglow to fill the city, making the city golden. A group of ten people changed cars at Qingcao Farm and rode into the forest, and the white horse
As expected, the little beast followed him again.
Miss Bernice and Shade wanted to stop it, but even a young unicorn was not that easy to deal with. But the other ladies in the team were particularly happy about the appearance of this little beast, which was good.
Improves team morale.
When we arrived at the camp under the cliff that we found in the afternoon, the sun had completely set. The dark mountain forest of the creek was a bit scary, but because there were companions around, the feeling of terror was not very serious.
Without Miss Bernice and Shade taking action, the witch's followers began to build camps and bonfires, and arranged defense, warning and reconnaissance methods nearby.
Shade and the Witch sat together by the bonfire waiting for dinner. The pure white beast lay beside Shade, with the [Night Watcher] lying in front of him. The fire of the bonfire illuminated Shade, who was wearing a cold-proof cloak.
Face, Miss Benenice held the tea cup and curiously said to Shade who was sitting next to him:
"It's really interesting. Unicorns really like you. Unicorns obviously prefer pure girls and ignorant children. You don't fit any of them."
"I am not sure as well."
Shade touched the forehead of the little beast, who squinted his eyes and enjoyed the touch. He had to admit that the touch of its hair was almost as good as that of little Mia.
"In fact, a lot of things happened to me that I still can't figure out."
Shade looked at the young brown-haired girl, busy grilling meat by the campfire. The girls in the troupe are very good at cooking, much better than the outsiders:
"When I have time, I can tell you my story, many stories."
The witch smiled:
"I haven't forgotten that I lost the horse racing in the morning. We will probably have to wait until very late tonight. We happen to have time. What story do you want to hear from me?"
Shade thought for a while:
"I heard from Miss Carina and Miss Aurora that you only met Miss Lassus when the original Golden Dawn was about to collapse. I don't understand how she could become a member of the Old God Order at such a young age.
Where's the leader? Because her father is missing? I heard you say that on Sunday."
Even in the era when the old gods left, the leaders of the cult were generally older people.
"The matter is very complicated. On the one hand, it is because Siris was the strongest in the cult at that time."
Miss Benenice looked at the bonfire and recalled the past:
"Now she is the seventh ring. When I met her, she was already the fifth ring at the age of fifteen. Even in the three major thaumaturgy academies, reaching the fifth ring at this age is enough to be called a genius, and even more so
What's more, the Order of the Old Gods is going to be dilapidated. You know how difficult it is for the promotion of ring warlocks without systematic training. When I met her, there were only five ring warlocks in the entire sect, and Siris was the only one among them.
Middle Ring Warlock.”
This is much better than having only one old lady left in the [Earth-shaking Worm] cult.
Recalling the past events, Miss Benanis's lips curled into a smile:
"By the way, Sirius awakened her talent at the age of seven, which is quite rare. But precisely because she was only seven years old when she awakened, she was able to achieve her later achievements."
Shade nodded. Miss Lassus's awakening of talent at the age of seven is as rare as Priest Augustus's awakening of talent when he is old. The former is even rarer.
"This is one reason, but what about the other one?"
Shade asked again, taking the teacup handed by the sorceress on the side and thanking him quietly. The latter looked curiously at the unicorn lying next to Shade, but did not have the courage to touch it for the time being.
"On the other hand, what you said is that the previous generation leader of the sect, that is, Siris's father, Mr. Willon Lassus of the Sixth Ring, disappeared inexplicably. Siris's father is said to be very strong, and she can
The ability to quickly recover from injuries while standing with your feet on the ground was taught by Mr. Lacers."
The witch shook her head slightly:
"There are many possibilities for the inexplicable disappearance of the Ring Warlock, but for Siris at that time, it meant a change in the trajectory of life. I had just taken over the position of teacher and was traveling in the Old World, thinking about my future path. Come on.
When I arrived in the local area, I happened to meet Siris who was entangled with a troublesome relic. At that time, she was not only the leader of the cult, but also the sole legal successor of the Golden Dawn Opera Company that was about to go bankrupt. After many, many stories, we have now.
The Golden Dawn.”
It was a very interesting story, and quite long. It started before dinner and didn’t come to the end until after ten o’clock in the evening. The relic that Miss Lassus encountered back then was a keeper-level relic [The Curse of the Black Gate].
The only characteristic of this relic is that every door opened by the cursed person is a "cursed black door" leading to an unknown subspace.
Theoretically speaking, as long as you don't open the door and let others open the door, the curse will not affect the cursed person, so the rating is only "Secret Keeper Level". But the problem is that the [Black Gate Curse] at that time was on the verge of breaking out due to some reasons.
Out of control, every door Miss Lassers passes through may be transformed into a "black door".
It took Miss Benanis half a month to determine the source of the [Black Gate Curse], which was the location of the real Black Gate. Finally, she managed to introduce the "Black Gate" into the Parliament, and used the power of the Parliament to completely
It was suppressed and contained - this is one of the basic functions of the Parliament. After the incident was resolved, she was invited by Miss Lassus to stay, and eventually formed a new Golden Dawn together.
This story was quite interesting to Shad, only slightly worse than Dorothy and Lesia's diary. He carefully avoided the private details and asked more about the "cursed" relics.
Miss Nanice was also happy to answer Shade's questions.
The night was getting darker, but none of the ladies around had any intention of taking a rest. The bonfire was crackling, surrounded by whispers and murmurs.
While chatting with the witch, Shade accidentally looked up at the night sky over the sparse forest tops, and saw the sea of stars hanging upside down above his head, and the three moons hanging above the vast sea of stars. Although the air pollution in this era is already very serious
, but the wilderness far away from the city is different after all.
In a daze, I thought of how many times I had sat by the campfire with different girls in the dark, whispering. But, except for Iluna, those girls, those memories, and the past were all from the previous era.
Something happened.
"Why did you show this expression while talking? If Carina knew about it, she would think I was bullying you."
The blond witch smiled and joked. Shade shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the cry of the little beast next to him:
"Ang~"
It immediately stood up and raised its head alertly to look deep into the forest to the southwest. At the same time, the sound of a strong wind blowing through the forest also sounded in its ears. This was the outermost alert being triggered:
"Miss, someone is here. It's a living person."
Everyone in the camp stood up, the thaumaturgic light that disguised their appearance and voice lit up, and the ladies responsible for the lookout also appeared on the trees.
