Reaching out to catch the falling snow in front of her, Dorothy Louisa looked around. The rich darkness and the door were gone. The air was fresh and cold, and the smell of civilized fireworks made her almost tremble.
Together with the detective in front of her, she stood on the street on a snowy winter night. The snow under her feet almost covered her feet. The unique smell of winter rushed into her nose, while the small figure stood in front of Shade.
She was barefoot and wearing a pair of slippers, her feet were bruised and bruised by the cold, and there were countless patches on her clothes. Her golden hair was wrapped in a shabby scarf, she was huddled and carrying a small basket...
Shade smiled.
She lit the first match, the match went out, and five mermaids appeared in front of them. Snowflakes surrounded them, and even roaring could not break free from the shackles of ice and snow;
She lit the second match, and the match went out, and the five mermaids were surrounded by fire. That was the light of the match, weak but containing hope;
She lit the third match, and when the match went out, five streaks of black smoke came out of the fish-man's body in the firelight. A blurry figure in black robe appeared next to the girl, waving a sickle in his hand, and the black smoke dissipated in the flying snowflakes.
She lit the fourth match, and the match went out, followed by the flames on the fish people. This was the last match, and it was also the match that contained the end of the story and Shade's hope.
After the flames passed, the intact Dais family fell on the snow.
Shade came to the girl carrying the basket and looked up at the end of the snowy street. A huge black shadow occupied the sky and the earth, which meant that the evil god from high dimensions was watching here and watching him.
Her voice appeared in my ears.
[You are watched by the old god "God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea", and you feel blasphemed. 】
[The first dead who drowned in the deep sea knew the deepest secrets of the abyss. Those who hated the living brought all living creatures to the bottom of the sea on stormy nights, wailing day and night amid the bells of death.]
[You listened to the story of the old god "The God of the Drowned in the Deep", and you learned one of the blasphemies of the old god "The God of the Drowned in the Deep". 】
[You have obtained the spell—breathing underwater.]
Shade didn't care about the voice in his ears, let alone knowing who it was.
The gaze fell on Shade, and the afterglow of divinity enveloped him like a burning golden flame. At that moment, he felt that he was peering into the abyss at the bottom of the deep sea, and the hands of countless corpses in the abyss were pulling him, but he just
Standing here motionless.
The evil god has not come to the material world, but is just watching here, so Shade has the courage to stand here and look up at him.
He couldn't retreat. Since he decided to try to save the people he could save, he absolutely couldn't retreat.
After a moment, Xia De didn't even have to decide whether to sacrifice his only drop of divinity, and the sight took the initiative to go away.
The god gave up looking at this place, and the sense of spatial dislocation completely disappeared. The humans who were favored by him and turned into fish were saved, and he lost interest in things here.
"Shad, you really...oh!"
The scene of the snowy street and the figure of the girl wearing bare feet and slippers quickly receded amidst the raging flames that suddenly ignited around her. The gorgeous flames passed through Miss Louisa's body. After being watched by the evil god, water plants seemed to grow on her body.
The feeling also disappeared.
The surroundings returned to the alley in the night, to the night of Tobesk.
The Dais family lay quietly and neatly in the alley, breathing evenly. But Shade fell backward, and this time he was supported by Miss Louisa.
The young foreigner closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, and he could barely see the rise and fall of his chest.
Miss Louisa held her breath for a long time, then with a sad look she stretched out her trembling hand and tested his breath.
After exhaling a long breath, Shade fainted from exhaustion just because he had performed magic that far exceeded his own level.
"However, this is my first time seeing a mysterious lock."
Looking at the young detective's face under the moonlight, the blond girl's eyes were red and she managed to show a thankful and gentle smile.
Three full moons hang above the head, and the silver moon shines here, shining on Shade. I can vaguely hear voices in the distance. The evil god is looking at the material world, and the magic mystery is unfolding in the city. It is impossible for the Church of the Righteous God to be unaware of it.
Now, it's time to leave.
(Little Mia is running...)
Dream, it’s that dream again.
Shade stood on the ridge of the field, looking up at the huge silver moon above his head. The moon seemed to have fallen within reach, but he couldn't touch anything when he stretched out his hand.
The light of the silver moon shines on Xia De, and Xia De is thoughtful about this:
"I always have this dream, something must be wrong. Does this mean..."
Then, he opened his eyes and saw that the ceiling he saw was no stranger to him. It was the bedroom of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.
"Meow~"
When he noticed that Shade was awake, the cat beside the pillow was rubbing the back of his hand happily. Shade wanted to raise his hand to touch Mia, but as soon as he got up, the pain in his head made him moan softly.
Not only that, my whole body was sore at this moment, and my body would tremble whenever I raised my hands, as if I had been hungry for three days and three nights.
"It's...seven o'clock Sunday morning."
He learned the time, and the time before coma was Saturday night. In other words, he was asleep for less than ten hours:
"Who sent me back? Oh, Mia, don't touch me, everything is wrong with me now."
Probably hearing Shade's voice, the bedroom door was pushed open at this moment. Shade was startled and looked up to see that the person who opened the door was actually the blonde girl Dorothy Louisa.
She was still in the same outfit as last night. When she saw Shade wake up, she smiled and waved to him.
"water......"
He made a sound from his throat, and Miss Louisa, who was carrying a dinner plate, walked into the bedroom, put the dinner plate on the bedside table, and handed over the water glass.
On the plate were meat porridge, hot goat's milk, scrambled eggs, apples and bread. Shade had lived here for two weeks and had never seen such a sumptuous breakfast in the house.
"Meow~"
Mia looked at Miss Louisa with eager eyes. Goat milk was its breakfast, but the blond female writer obviously regarded it as the milk that Shade ordered for herself.
He took the water glass and gently touched the wall of the glass. The blasphemous silver light shone on the water. He took a careful sip of water, felt his physical condition, and took another big sip.
"Oh~"
Then he groaned again and put the cup back on the bedside table.
"How do you feel now?"
Miss Louisa asked with concern while sitting in the armchair beside the bed.
"My physical condition is not bad, the headache is still there, but I'm probably fine..."
He picked up the cat, who had ulterior motives on the dinner plate, and leaned against the bedside table, feeling the throbbing pain in his temples.
Shade still remembered what happened before he fell into coma. Facing the exit he was about to leave, the regret in his heart and the touching experience of innocent people made him understand the true power given to him by the "little match girl".
So I used the story pages borrowed by Miss Louisa to complete the inscription of the Enlightenment Rune "The Little Match Girl". At the same time, this is also Shade's second spiritual rune. It is only "miracle" away from the second ring.
" and "Whisper", and the acquisition of the Miracle Spirit Rune will depend on the performance when the fifth era is last entered in 1068 in the early morning of next Thursday.
"That is undoubtedly a mythical lock."
When talking about this matter, Miss Louisa's face seemed to glow red, and she became a little excited:
"You should know that the more pure spiritual runes it contains, the more thaumaturgy it can develop, such as [Silver Moon], [Emotion], etc. And the more complex and specific spiritual runes are, the fewer thaumaturgy skills it can develop. Like
[The Little Match Girl] Such spiritual runes, which are complex in themselves and have been given a more specific image by civilization, have little possibility of developing thaumaturgy in many aspects. But similarly, spiritual runes with specific and complex meanings may themselves
It's thaumaturgy. And last night, when you were inscribing the spiritual runes, you obtained the only thaumaturgy that belongs to the enlightenment rune [Little Match Girl]. That's the Mystery Lock!"
Shade knows about the special mysterious power of "Mystery Lock", which Professor Garcia mentioned yesterday morning.
To put it simply, it uses four elements to influence space, superimposing a temporary space between real and false on the material world, in order to trap or attack the enemy.
But this is a power that can only be used by large-scale rituals or high-level warlocks. Shade suddenly realized this power last night because of his status as the creator of fairy tales and the fact that he was suspected of telling the story to God. Unfortunately, his level as a ring warlock was not high enough.
, so I collapsed immediately after using it and passed out.
If there wasn't a drop of divinity hidden in his life ring that could replenish his elements and spirit at all times, he might have turned into a vegetative state on the spot.
Fortunately, Shade did not act alone last night.
After he passed out, Miss Louisa noticed that the team of ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church were approaching, and even the ten-ring warlocks stationed in the parish came to check the situation. So she hurriedly covered up the traces, and then took Shade back to Shengde
No. 6 Lan Square... In fact, there are no traces that need to be covered up. After all, most of the things that happened are not in the real space at all.
They don’t need to worry about the affairs of the Dais family. The Righteous God Church will give them the strictest inspection and protection. The little girl Sophie Dais was the real reason that attracted the attention of the evil god last night, but she lost the "fish"
As a human being, she is no longer important to the gods.
Miss Louisa returned here directly after escaping with Shad. And because she was worried about Shad's condition, she did not go back last night, but spent the night on the sofa in the living room - she would not sleep in middle age.
The bed where the detective slept.
After being woken up by a hungry cat in the morning, I saw that Shade hadn't woken up yet, so I made breakfast. When I came to check on the situation, I saw that Shade had already woken up.
"So, we're pretty lucky. We really troubled you last night, Miss Louisa. I must be very heavy."
He wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by Miss Louisa, who brought the dinner plate to Shade, seemingly wanting Shade to finish eating before getting out of bed.
"You saved me, otherwise I would have been taken to the deep sea of who knows where, with that look..."
She showed a scared expression, picked up the hair beside her ear, and asked curiously:
"Xia De, speaking of which, can you still use the power of the Mystic Chain now?"
"I'll give it a try."
He thought for a moment, summoned the corner of his life ring, looked back at the [little match girl] spirit rune that was shining with dazzling brass light, and then actively activated a brand new thaumaturgy.
