Although the black light was sudden, the doctor reacted faster. His right hand suddenly expanded into the shape of a dark giant tree, and then directly smashed the black light into light fragments.
"oh!"
Shade suddenly sat up from the sofa, causing Mia, who was sneaking around and didn't know what she was doing, to immediately jump off his stomach.
"What was that just now?"
"It wants to mark you so that when you meet its true form, it will recognize who you are immediately. Don't worry, this little trick is useless in front of me."
The doctor also sat upright in the chair behind his desk, and then yawned:
"You really shouldn't sleep during the day, but this short journey is still very useful."
He glanced at the clock on the corner of the table:
"I only slept for ten minutes. I'm afraid we won't be able to interpret that memory a second time."
"It doesn't matter, there are enough clues now. After I finish exploring the haunted manor, I will start to lead out the devil's body. Stone Oxenfurt's commission and Haila Oxenfurt's commission are both interesting. This will
Be the best bait.”
I took Mia and the doctor to have lunch together at noon, and the group meeting in the afternoon went on as usual. Last week, Dorothy and Priest August had something to do, but this week everyone is here.
Before the meeting started, the doctor also asked Shade about Luvia:
"Before Anat left, she said that she would be back in about a month from this business trip. It is already the fifteenth day of the Moon, can she still come back this month? If not, the college will still have to submit
Apply."
"There are still some things going on over there in the Randall Valley, so I won't be able to come back until next month."
"This business trip is really long."
The doctor muttered and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Dorothy, who was holding little Mia, glanced at Shade.
Things have been quiet in Tobesk recently, but Priest August shared an interesting story he encountered in the church. The old priest met a middle-aged man who came to confess, and learned from the man's words that he dreamed about it every night
His wife died, and indescribable things happened to him and his wife in the dream.
The man thought it was a sin, so he went to the church to confess. The priest, who was slightly interested in this, took advantage of his free time to investigate, and finally found that it was not his thoughts and dreams that day and night, but his wife.
The undead really exist.
"I wanted to send the undead away, but the middle-aged man cried and asked me not to do it. He was willing to shorten his lifespan rather than give up this beauty."
The priest shook his head and said with emotion.
"So what happened in the end?"
Shade asked curiously.
"Of course he sent the undead away and then erased the man's memory. Oh, detective, I have seen many more miserable things than this. No matter how pitiful he is, he cannot break the order between humans and the undead. It's time to go
Don’t keep those who don’t understand this matter, as those who don’t understand this matter will often cause more disasters.”
The old priest said, Shade was thoughtful.
During the meeting, Shade also mentioned that he and Miss Danist met alone on Wednesday, and the librarian Miss asked him to master the thaumaturgy [Moon Dream].
The first study of [Moon Dream] failed, so Shade wanted to find some experience from other people. Except for Shade, everyone had the experience of failure in learning thaumaturgy in the past. Some of them were due to problems with the rituals.
Some of them are that the nature of thaumaturgy does not match themselves, and more are that the requirements of thaumaturgy are too high and some aspects of themselves have not yet met the requirements.
Since this thaumaturgy is related to the silver moon, the doctor believes that it cannot be a bad compatibility. The ritual was given by Miss Danister, and there will be no problem with the details of the ritual. Therefore, the doctor's opinion is that it should be
It was Shade who didn't dream correctly, and Bill Schneider is the real expert on how to dream - he specializes in hypnotherapy, and his diagnosis and treatment is based on time.
Anyway, the doctor gave Shade some tea and asked him to drink it before learning thaumaturgy next time. Maybe it would be useful.
The meeting ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. Because of Miss Carina's invitation, Shade didn't have to discuss with Dorothy where to have dinner tonight. The blonde went home to change clothes first, and made an appointment with Shade at half past five.
They gathered at his home, so Shade left with the priest August, claiming that he would go to Dawn Church to pray with the priest.
But in fact, he handed the priest a list in the carriage:
"Priest, help me prepare these things. It's best if you can give them to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
The priest glanced at the list and asked Shade curiously:
"What are you trying to deal with? Is the life and death chamber of Fort Midhill about to be opened again?"
There is not only holy water on it, but also a large number of "blessed silver crosses". Shade plans to insert those silver crosses on the third floor of the Wilde Opera House to protect Miss Bernice and Miss Lassers.
"You still want to be blessed with silver bullets? Are you going to hunt vampires?"
From Shade's terrifyingly long list, the old priest had already seen the clues:
"Silver powder, angel pendants and statuettes that store angel power, and cannot be stone products. Alchemy items 'Holy Light Bomb', 'Death Withered Fingers' with a range of instant death effect, and 'Immortal Slash' enchantment that specifically resists immortality
Runestones, special glasses that can directly see the location of the dead through the wall."
The old man put Shade's list aside, put his hands together on his lap, and looked at him with bright eyes:
"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Um"
Considering that Priest August was probably not afraid of demons, and that Shade did need his help, he decided to tell the truth:
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
"certainly."
"In the Randall Valley, I discovered a demon. Yes, an evil spirit demon from the Third Age."
"Um?"
If he were not in the carriage at this time, the old man would have stood up with a bounce:
"demon?"
"Don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it. Do you remember my long sword? That is the best weapon against the devil. But before the decisive battle with the devil, I still need to explore a haunted manor. It is said that the man who lives in
The people in that manor were wiped out by the devil three years ago. I don't want to disturb the devil in advance and let it know that I have the ability to fight it, so I need to use these props and items to clean up the manor."
Shade said in one breath, and then added:
"Of course, some of the items in the list are also to protect Luvia and the friends I met in the Randall Valley. You understand, it is a devil after all. Although I am not afraid of it myself, I must also consider other people."
Priest Augustus fell into deep thought, and Shade did not interrupt. Instead, he looked out the window at the street scene. For a moment, only the noisy streets and the sound of carriages could be heard.
"Do you need me to go to Randall Valley City?"
The priest said suddenly, and Shade was so frightened that he immediately shook his head:
"No need, I can handle it myself."
Dr. Schneider has already made a plan to go to Randall Valley City to help Shad. If Priest August also goes there at this time, plus Luvia, who is already in Randall Valley, there will be four out of five people in the team.
People arrived in that southern city.
It was hard for Shade to imagine what else would happen to that city.
"Well, I will help you prepare the materials and alchemy tools on the list as soon as possible. In addition, I have recently learned how to make more exotic potions. You can bring them with you when you arrive."
"Just give me the total price in the end. If I don't have enough cash, can I use gems as a deduction?"
"If you don't have cash, you'll owe it first. If you and your cat can run away, am I still afraid that No. 6 of Saint Teresa Square will run away with its long legs?"
The old priest looked as if Shade regarded him as an outsider.
The carriage first sent the priest back to the Church of Dawn. Seeing that there was still some time left, Shade took little Mia to worship in the church. He also donated a sum of money, hoping to increase his luck in facing the devil.
When he got home, Dorothy hadn't arrived yet, but Tifa was already waiting for him at home with two maids. Because every Saturday, Miss Carina's maid would go to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to help clean the house, so in fact
The black-haired head maid had the key to St. Teresa Square. But she did not enter the door. Instead, she waited in the carriage. After Shade appeared, she followed him into the home.
"What does Miss Carina want from me tonight?"
Shade asked Tifa curiously. Unexpectedly, the maid asked even more curiously:
"The lady must have something to say to you? It's just that you haven't been to the manor for a week, and she just wants to have dinner with you."
This statement made Shade feel quite guilty:
"Okay, I will definitely go to the manor often when I have time. I've been a little busy lately, but I'll probably have some free time in the spring."
The maid lady just smiled.
Dorothy arrived soon after, and everyone rode a carriage to the manor outside the city. The dinner was ready. Although there were only three people attending the banquet, the long and elegant table in the restaurant was still full of plates.
and food.
Tifa directed the maids in the manor to continuously deliver new meals. Under the candlelight, Shad, Dorothy and Miss Carina enjoyed the delicious food together. Of course, Mia was also quite satisfied with the dinner that day, especially
It is this manor that has food specially prepared for it.
By the time dinner was over, the sky outside was completely dark. The Witch was very interested in inviting Shade and Dorothy to watch the stars on the roof of the manor house. She had stargazing equipment that was more expensive and expensive than Luvia's.
Using professional stargazing equipment, the three of them watched the stars together on the roof, and then went to the study room to chat in front of the fireplace.
Probably because he was too full, or because the environment was too comfortable. Shade, who was holding Mia, sat on a soft rocking chair, listening to Miss Carina and Dorothy talking about the latest chapter of "Hamilton Detective Stories"
content, and fell into a coma without realizing it.
