The test was successful. As long as Shade is willing to spend his soul to maintain the existence of the ship, he can make the ship exist no matter how far away he is. But without Shade boarding the ship, others cannot rely on him like him.
To make the boat move with your thoughts, you can only drive the boat by rowing.
After further testing, it was determined that even if Shade himself did not board the ship, it would not affect the characteristics of the ship, which is that it is not easily damaged, is difficult to sink after being damaged, and can carry the undead.
The last and most important test is whether the boat summoned by Shade has the power to penetrate space.
Shade himself had some guesses about this. The last time he used a boat to transport the old boats from the bottom of the lake, he found that his boats could repel the thick fog that shrouded the island in the middle of the lake. This in itself was a symbol
.
And that night, the space blockade imposed by Miss Sylvia with the help of the relics, and the spatial movement effect of her own thaumaturgy on the boat, also showed that at least for the space blockade of the relics and thaumaturgy, Shade's ship
Completely immune.
It's a pity that this old wooden ship can exist in the water, and it will automatically disappear once it leaves a similar scene. Otherwise, if the ship is moved, carried, or even equipped with pulleys on the bottom of the ship, the ship can play a greater role.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shade left the boat with the two witches and Luvia to continue testing. He followed the Duin River upstream back to the city, preparing to meet the cultists of the [Dragon Feast Order].
Holding an umbrella, I walked alone into the slums in the southeast of the city. The night rain quickly covered up Shade's traces. No matter what the weather is, entering the city's slums at night is quite dangerous. Rainy nights can cover up some sounds, and even more
It can wash away the smell of blood. Xia De really didn't expect that on his way to the appointment, he would be blocked in the alley by two people one after another and robbed. And the other party didn't hesitate at all, and stabbed Xia De in the abdomen with a knife.
So Shade was not polite, and the flying moonlight cut off two heads.
He was very curious about whether he was being plotted or was just unlucky, so he used thaumaturgy [Guiding Death] in the rain to channel the soul of one of them:
"We were originally porters at the docks, but the trade cuts in Green Lake City and the City of Glass cost us our jobs. We couldn't find a job in the city right away, but we need gold pounds for our family and rent."
The soul dullly told his identity and story, so Shade placed the two corpses by the wall, waiting to be discovered during the day tomorrow. He expelled the soul and continued towards his destination.
The Barking Tavern in Black Dog Alley was the kind of tavern that Shade could imagine was located deep in the slums and must have been involved in illegal business.
In the rainy night, most of the surrounding buildings had no lights. People in the slums were very concerned about the changes in the readings of the gas meters, but the window of this tavern still had a dim light. However, when Shade opened the door and entered, he discovered that there were actually no people inside.
Not much, and not as noisy as he imagined.
Men gathered together to drink wine and talk about the bad weather, or gathered at the table to play Rhodes. At the table next to the wall, there were girls in gorgeous clothes, chatting with their companions, or talking to each other.
The man looking at them winked.
Shade, who broke into the tavern on a rainy night, only attracted the attention of a few people near the door.
He put away his umbrella at the door, looked at the dilapidated but obviously maintained tables and walls in the tavern, and then unexpectedly discovered that the person he was waiting for did not seem to be here:
"It's eight forty now."
After casually ordering a glass of ale, Shade took the wine glass and climbed the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor of the tavern. There were even fewer customers on the second floor. This bad weather really made people reluctant to go out at night.
So he sat down in the corner, made sure that the gold and silver rings were on his fingers, took out a newspaper from his arms, and read it under the dim light.
At 8:56, footsteps came towards Shade, followed by the sound of a chair being pulled open and someone sitting down.
Shade put down the newspaper and looked at the lady sitting opposite who was wearing a black leather jacket and a long black skirt. She had brown hair similar to Megan and Audrey. She was in her thirties and her eyes looked like vertical pupils. She looked at her.
Xia Deshi showed an expression of alertness and doubt.
And more importantly, when Shade tried to listen to her heartbeat, the bang bang bang~ beating sound he heard was extremely strong. It not only shook the air, but even disturbed the spirit and elements. This was definitely not the heartbeat sound that humans should have.
.
Glancing at the silver dragon-shaped badge hanging on the opponent's chest, Shade nodded:
"Nadia Foran?"
The woman with a serious face and pursed lips seemed to be a rather stern person at first glance.
She also nodded:
"How do you make me believe that you are the God Summoner and not just someone randomly hired by the church?"
Shade took out five small keys from his pocket. These keys came from the blacksmith, the mineralogist, Bad-Eye Barry, the boatman and the mayor. As for Durut Giles' key, Megan had already given it back to him.
"Currently, the only Edwards descendants found by the church are the Foran brothers, and they only have one key. One from the Truth Society, one in your hand, and one in the hands of the [Tyranny Club] - that key is probably also in the hands of the Truth Society now.
[Mirror Association] has one in hand. There are eight remaining keys out of thirteen, and I brought five. Can this be proved?"
The three coins he didn't mention are in the hands of Durut Giles, the Green siblings and the old ghoul.
The woman who looked less than thirty years old and had slightly wet hair nodded:
"Although I know that your current appearance is an illusion, I am still surprised that you are so young."
"Ms. Foran, what do you think I should look like?"
"More mature, with a neat beard, elegant but with a bit of reserved arrogance."
For some reason, Shade immediately thought of Dr. Schneider.
He shook his head:
"Nice to meet you, so what are we going to talk about tonight? Although I don't mind staying late in the pub with a beautiful lady like you, but you also know that the situation is unstable now, and the police may rush in at any time.
Come in and search for suspicious persons."
He knocked on the newspaper folded at hand. The picture above was of the man who was caught with a steam bomb. He said nothing after being arrested. Shade knew that MI6 would soon arrange for him to be reasonable.
's disappearance.
"I want to talk to you about my ancestors."
The woman said, stretching her body forward slightly so that her entire face was exposed to the flame of the oil lamp on the table.
"You want to seek my protection?"
After Shade asked, he saw the contemptuous smile on the serious woman's face:
"No, I never believe that others can protect me. Only I can protect myself. I just hope that you can get some information to increase the possibility of the ancestor's plan being destroyed."
"Give me free information? In fact, even if you propose a deal, I won't disagree."
Nadia Foran shook her head;
"You are right, it is not safe here, so I will keep my story short. You can decide for yourself whether you believe what I say next. But I believe you should understand that our order no longer treats the chosen ones in space.
First things first. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a member of the Edwards family, I actually wouldn't stay."
"Then please tell me your information. What I am most concerned about now is whether I can follow the Edwards to the island as soon as possible and attend your family banquet."
"This is difficult to do without the consent of the ancestors. The power that isolates the two islands is very ancient, but you can try to force Edwards around you to stay. No matter how the ancestors try to ensure that the disobedient descendants will be in time
Going to the banquet, you are currently the biggest threat to him."
This method is exactly what the witches are preparing, and the Green Lake Hotel is used as a base for this purpose.
"I don't know much about how to enter and exit the islands. Only the ancestors know the core secrets of the two islands best. What I want to remind you today is the set of alchemy cards that the ancestors made by imitating the angel-level relic [Poetry Cards]. That set of cards
Among them, each one seals a monster that appeared due to the ancestor's experiment and the evil creature summoned by him, one of which you saw on the night of the lunar eclipse."
"Yes, I remember this. But that set of cards is just an alchemy item after all. Although it is powerful, it has its limits. What are you trying to remind me of?"
"That deck is the escape route prepared by the ancestor for his failure. That deck can truly allow him to achieve a 'resurrection'. Therefore, if you have a chance to kill the ancestor, you must destroy it before that."
His deck.”
"oh?"
Shade looked at her in surprise. The woman's face was uncertain under the flickering candlelight. The windows on the second floor of the tavern leaked air, but it made the room not very stuffy.
"You have told me the most important secret of that fortune teller."
"You need this secret. You are the person most likely to defeat him. Everyone in the family who has seen him knows how powerful he is, and we cannot neglect him at all."
"But have you ever thought about it, since the role of those cards is so important, why did he want you to know? Is there a possibility that he expected this?"
Nadia Foran nodded:
"The ancestor's divination skills are terrible. Maybe everything is really in the ancestor's plan, but this does not mean that I will succumb to his arrangement and the so-called family's destiny. One person is sublimated, and the others are steps, haha
~I will make any preparations I can before the family banquet. The Order still needs me, and I cannot die in Green Lake."
"You are really pious. This is not sarcasm, but a compliment."
Shade smiled, picked up the wine glass, and saluted her, but the woman ignored his action.
