"Anyway, if you need my assistance recently, go directly to the association to find me. When Iluna comes, we will discuss the plan in detail. The current poems are still not enough. We only know that a banquet will be held, but we don't know the location of the banquet yet.
There are special regulations.”
Luvia said again.
"Want to try a coin?"
Shade asked.
"Keep it, it's not the most urgent moment yet."
Luvia shook her head, and then mentioned what happened last night:
"Your teacher, Miss Denister, came to see me, about nine o'clock."
As expected, she didn't notice that Shade actually came once:
"Professors from the Zarath School of Literature came during the incident at Lake Eldron, and professors from Serkses will arrive this afternoon. In this way, professors from the three major colleges have arrived locally.
The church is likely to organize a big action in the near future."
"What did Miss Denist say to you last night?"
Shade asked curiously, and a smile appeared on the purple-eyed girl's face:
"Tell me that a certain gentleman in Tobesk misses me very much."
Shade showed a reserved expression:
"I do miss you."
"Meow~"
Mia also shouted.
"In addition, Miss Danister also told me that I will not be able to return to Tobesk until at least spring. This time is not because of work. The situation in the Randall Valley is very complicated now, and the local ring weavers cannot leave easily. The earth
The pollution will spread to far away areas through the footsteps of travelers, and the ring wizards will have a greater impact on it. So for the safety of Tobesk, I'd better wait here for the matter to end."
Nothing new happened all day on Saturday. During the afternoon meeting, Shade informed the doctor and others that Luvia would stay in Randall Valley for at least half a month. Everyone was just sorry that Luvia missed Tobes.
Half of the winter in Gram.
After the meeting, Shade was left alone to talk to the doctor about the devil. Of course, the focus was on the contract between Stone Oxenfurt and the devil.
Doctors are quite cautious about this:
"Your judgment is correct. He certainly did not tell the entire process of the contract, but the content should be true. According to my understanding of Goethe, regarding how to obtain Oxenfurt's soul, the second half of the contract,
It should not only be 'killing the immortal contractor with a force other than the devil', but should also include other very stringent conditions. For example, killing while standing on the moon, or killing under the sun at night."
"Then what benefit does the devil do to himself by signing such a strict treaty?"
Shade asked puzzledly:
"You don't want life to be too dull and are you deliberately looking for some excitement for yourself?"
"It wants mortals to feel that they are the one who has taken advantage of the contract. Otherwise, who would really sign a contract with a devil?"
asked the doctor, who was quite familiar with the devil's tricks:
"But in fact, demons who are good at playing with terms have many ways to achieve impossible things. For example, if the content of the terms is really 'on the moon, kill the immortal Stone Orson with powers other than Goethe'
Ford', then the demon will definitely lead Oxenfurt to a certain area with a moon pattern."
Shade nodded and understood slightly:
"So, if Oxenfurt doesn't tell me all the conditions of the contract, he might die because of this in the end. After all, I don't know how to avoid doing this."
"But if he tells you all the contents of the contract, you will know how to kill him."
The doctor smiled, with a smile on his face but a serious look in his eyes:
"You have the right to choose. Goethe, the Stone Mirror Demon, also has the right to choose. Only Oxenfurt does not have the right to make a choice. That's why I say, don't make a deal with the devil easily, it will be of no benefit."
On Saturday night, Dorothy taught Shade a fairy tale class as usual at No. 6 St. Teresa Square. However, before this class, Shade gave the newly acquired Rhodes card [Ancient Fairy Tale·Cinderella]
Taken it out.
While Miss Writer was "making fun of" Shade for not forgetting to play cards with others even when he was away from home, she was also curious about what Shade wanted to ask.
"Concerning the story of "Grey's Glass Slippers", we have learned most of the popular versions so far. This ancient fairy tale, actually, I felt inexplicably familiar from the very beginning when I heard you tell it."
The two of them were sitting inside and outside the desk talking. Shade put down the cards in his hand. The life ring slowly appeared behind him. The sound of whistles and bells made Mia tilt her head to look at it curiously:
"Enlightenment-the little match girl, miracle-kiss from the tree, enlightenment-the sleeping princess, enlightenment-the water of wisdom."
As he recited his spiritual runes one by one, the four spiritual runes bloomed with brilliance. The light of the four spiritual runes were connected in series on the life ring, as if the life ring itself had a golden and copper-colored light belt.
Shade squinted slightly, and then the originally bright light in the study suddenly dimmed. Dorothy put down the book in her hand, reached out to catch the falling snow, and then looked up at the ceiling that seemed to "melt". Half of the ceiling had already
Disappeared, revealing the brilliant starry sky and the holy silver moon.
The furnishings in the study did not disappear, but merged with the blurry street scene on a snowy night. Since Shade's four mystery locks formed an extremely large complex mystery lock, the requirements for casting spells were further increased, so even if it was already a fifth-ring
, Shade still cannot use the full power of any myth lock under normal conditions:
"I very much doubt that Cinderella is also a story I brought to the Fifth Age."
He expressed his judgment, then picked up the Rhodes card again. With a slight toss, the group of red butterflies took the cards and flew to the distance of the street. The dancing red butterflies brought out the stream of light and scarlet in the snowy night.
The stream of light accompanied the swarm of red butterflies, constructing the pumpkin carriage in Shade's imagination far away on the street.
Dorothy tilted her head and watched this scene:
"It's very interesting. Shade's fairy tale kingdom is going to expand again?"
She joked:
"As for the mystery of time, don't discuss it with me. After all, I don't know as much as you do. Shade, what do you want to discuss with me?"
"If I really obtain the Mystery Lock, what kind of power will this Mystery Lock have?"
As the illusions and mysteries faded away into light, Dorothy fell into deep thought again:
"My sublimation words in the middle circle, 'In the castle of night, only time can stop the blessed princess' is based on this story. In addition to calling the princess who can transform, the effect of the sublimation words can also produce
A barrier of time. That is, during the duration of the words of sublimation, the closer you are to me, the slower the flow of time will be, until it touches my body, time will be completely suspended."
This is not an offensive sublimation, but it can definitely be regarded as a perfect defense.
"Time paused?"
Shade was thoughtful, and Dorothy reminded:
"This is just a way of thinking. You have to pay attention that the most important thing in fairy tales is not the content, but the connotation. For you, compassion, courage, sacrifice and wisdom constitute the first four puzzles, and desires arise out of compassion.
, sealing evil through courage, exchanging lives through sacrifice, and learning from opponents through wisdom. Shade, in your opinion, what do Cinderella/Grey's Glass Slippers/Princess on the Pumpkin Carriage represent?
?”
Shade did not answer, but Miss Writer gave a hint:
"Frugality, saving time? Humility, not being overly public? Hope, never getting discouraged in the face of adversity? Or is it love, pursuing the entire kingdom for your true love?"
Shade shook his head slightly. None of this seemed to be his understanding.
Dorothy consoled herself:
"Since you haven't been able to tell this story in the past, you don't have to think about it so much now. It's better to study with me. When you really get the secret key, you can save the process of understanding the story. I will find time this week to put that
The complete story is copied to you for you to use as casting materials."
The first time Shade's Mystery Lock is opened, it requires burning the parchment with the story written on it. For subsequent openings, the effect will be greater if the parchment is present, and the effect will be less effective if it is not opened.
"That's fine."
"In addition, maybe touching the relevant artifacts can help you understand the story better. This was originally the content of next week's study, but Lecia was too shy to let me tell you in advance. Let me tell you now - what we are doing
You prepared a pair of glass slippers."
Dorothy said with a smile, Shade suddenly raised his head and looked at her in horror:
"Me? Glass slippers? No, I will never wear them! No matter what you say, I will never wear them even if the secret lock cannot be learned!"
Under the light of the gas table lamp, the blonde girl smiled like a flower:
"Shade, what are you thinking about? It's Lesia's glass slipper, her birthday gift when she was nine years old. Tsk, the princess's treatment is really good."
"Nine years old?"
"Yes, so even she can't wear it anymore, let alone you? But don't ask me to tell you how big Lesia's feet are now."
"Didn't I know?"
Shade said curiously:
"The size of your feet and Lesia's feet, me."
"Ahem."
The writer’s face immediately turned red:
"Mr. Hamilton, I am your governess. What do you say?"
Although she was scolding Shade, she herself had more expectations for the night after the course:
"Let's get back to the topic. I only heard about this when I was just exchanging with Lesia and listening to her tell stories about the past. In fact, two weeks ago, I suggested that she let her take those shoes.
He took it out and used it as a learning prop for us, but she refused to do so, she was really shy."
Girls’ feet are the most private organ after indescribable and indescribable parts, so taking out shoes, especially those from childhood, is the next best thing to taking out the fabric from indescribable parts and using them as learning materials.
