He had obviously told Miss Carina a few days ago that he would not meet the witch so soon, but on Friday night, these words turned into a boomerang and hit Shade himself.
Although he was a little embarrassed, early on Saturday morning, Shade went to the manor outside the city to find Miss Carina and explained that he had met Miss Belindel.
The duchess, who was eating breakfast and listening to Shade's words, squinted her eyes and smiled after Shade finished speaking:
"I have told you a long time ago that the encounter with the witches is your unavoidable fate. You cannot escape the witches of today and the witches of ancient times."
In fact, there are witches from the "past life", and Shade has already met all three witches.
"Please stop making fun of me."
Shade sat across from the long table holding little Mia. They had already had breakfast at home before coming, but it seemed that the cat still wanted to eat more:
"This time I learned the lesson from Randall Valley. As long as I don't let her find out that I am a man, what will happen if I meet the great witch of fate? She asked me to see her on Sunday, I'm afraid she wants to give me
What a difficult task. This is good, I can also reasonably use the power of the Belindel family."
"Remember what you said now, I hope you won't regret it."
The red-haired duchess said, and then looked at the cat in Shade's arms with pity:
"Look at it, it's so pitiful. Can't you let it eat something?"
"Don't let little Mia fool you, this cat has had enough for breakfast."
Miss Carina gestured to Tifa and said:
"Tell Shade."
"In a fair fight, you are at the seventh level and she is at the eleventh level. You may not be able to defeat her in normal state. But her divination will most likely be ineffective against you. If you carry out a sneak attack, you should have no problem subduing her. Bei
I can't tell what Lindel's attitude is towards men. She is always mysterious and is not the kind of witch who is willing to reveal her life.
"Then the wreckage of the Radiant Messenger is located very close to Moon Bay?"
Shade shook his head and continued the topic:
"Please tell Miss Bernanice so that she can be prepared to respond to Miss Belindel's inquiry and not reveal my identity. Also, are there any precautions when getting along with this witch?"
So the black-haired maid answered responsibly:
"As the lady once said, Miss Belindell trusts divination very much. So if she suddenly flips a coin or draws a divination card when communicating with you, please don't worry about it. In addition, Miss Belindel is a very good person.
As long as the ladies you get along with don't accuse her of having problems with her divination, Miss Belindel will generally not lose her temper."
"Of course not. Otherwise, when you mentioned this matter to me last time, I should have thought of it. This kind of relic turned into a relic from an item at the end of the Fifth Era. Because its origin is relatively easy to find, I should remember it."
Shade asked again, and the duchess shook her head:
She commented unceremoniously, and then gave Shade an idea:
"Then her divination must be correct?"
So Shade made a guess:
"The Radiant Messenger has become a relic?"
Shade opened the document bag while listening. There was not much information inside.
Shade had already seen the black and white photos of those wooden boards.
"There are a total of thirteen seats in the parliament. Before Sylvia was promoted, she was at the tenth level like Granny Cassandra, so they were at the 12th and 13th seats. Belindel was at the 11th level and at the 10th level. She herself
Her combat effectiveness is not strong, she can be regarded as the last among all the eleventh-level great witches, and she only plays a supporting role in many actions of the council."
Shade looked up at her quite unexpectedly:
"I have found the information about the 'Brilliant Messenger' cruise ship. You are very lucky. Although most of the ships of the Fifth Era have disappeared over the years, the Radiant Messenger lying on the seabed is still in our era.
It still exists.”
The marine environment is different from the terrestrial environment. If there is a possibility that some kind of wreckage buried deep underground may still exist after being closed for thousands of years, but there should not be much left of shipwrecks in the sea in a few hundred years.
"Wait a minute, you said the wreckage of that ship still exists?"
The witch smiled and nodded again:
She motioned to Shade to open the document bag:
"Around 1380 in the Sixth Age, that is, more than 400 years ago, people accidentally discovered the wreckage of an ancient ship in the waters off the west coast. However, due to the technology at the time, it was difficult to detect the wreckage in the trench.
What happened? More than a hundred years later, the wreckage of the sunken ship is still in that position, and it seems that it has not changed much. Therefore, the church had similar doubts as you, thinking that this was not a normal phenomenon, so
Around 1500, five groups of ring warlocks were sent to investigate, and it was finally confirmed that the ship came from the Fifth Age."
So if you find out your identity by her, you can directly attack her and kidnap her to the secret ancient dragon lair you mentioned. I think you have the means to make her surrender."
"Yeah, you see, what happened to you in the past is once again related to the 'present'."
"In your eyes, am I this kind of person?"
"Is she the weakest eleventh-level witch?"
"It takes about four or five days to go there by boat, depending on the weather. In addition to the time you spend exploring the underwater shipwreck, it will take less than half a month to go back and forth. Moreover, the specific location of the wreckage is not recorded in the parliament.
Even if you are really willing to spend time going to sea, you probably have to determine where the ship is first. By the way, or you can take a bet on whether you can find the entrance and exit of the [Space Maze] near the ship."
Even Tifa smiled at this time, and Shade stroked the restless cat, not knowing what to say.
"Those two wooden boards are still in the museum?"
"It's considered the second to last. The weakest one has some physical problems, so there is no need to consider her combat effectiveness. In short, if Luvia has other wonderful methods besides divination, Belindel is really
He specializes in divination. Although he is not completely incapable of fighting, he is still very weak."
The last suggestion was that Shade was not going to try it. Although he didn't know the distribution pattern of those hidden spaces, he instinctively felt that even if he used the luck-increasing relic again, he would not be able to find the target entrance.
Compared with two pieces of deck wood, it is obvious that the whole wreckage is the most valuable.
"As you know, the Parliament is very interested in the relics of the Witch Emperors of the Fifth Era, so the Great Witch of Destiny at that time also went to investigate this matter and left the name of the 'Brilliant Messenger' in the Parliament's information.
Name. According to the information of the parliament, because the wreckage of the sunken ship had no other abnormalities except that it would not rot in the sea, the church did not perform any other treatment on the wreckage. Around 1530, they used semi-permanent illusion rituals
We covered the location of the wreckage and took away several pieces of wooden decks to study."
Shade asked, and the witch nodded slightly, so he asked again:
"That museum, isn't it the Ship Museum in Yuewan City?"
"That's really...what?"
"It was later determined that the wooden planks separated from the hull would gradually lose the property of being extremely resistant to decay, and this property could not be replicated. So more than two hundred years after the planks were brought back, around 1800, two of them
The wooden board was verified to be completely safe and separated from the monitoring and containment sequence. Later, the ownership of those antiquities changed several times and was donated to the City Ship Museum for display as 'ancient ship wreckage'."
"But you came just in time, I also have something to ask you for."
After breakfast, Miss Carina took Shade to the study and handed him a document bag:
"I know you have a lot of means to deal with witches. I even believe that even if your whole body is tied up and only your mouth can move, you can still coax a witch. It's Saturday now, and it's only been three days since you arrived at Moon Bay.
God, but you have already met the witch of fate. Let us wait and see when you will tell me that Belindel can no longer escape your grasp."
He frowned slightly:
"But how is it possible? The ship sank in the mysterious sea called the 'Sunless Sea'. How could it be possible for it to return to reality? What did I do after that? But it's not right, even if that ship
The ship was made of the best alloy steel of the era, and the keel was even processed by a witch hired at a high price. But after so many years in the water, how could there still be wreckage? Miss Theresa and the others said that the ship was not an alchemy technology
The ships we manufacture are just ordinary industrial products."
Shade knew that she was teasing. No matter how close her relationship with Shade was, she would not allow Shade to use this method to deal with his colleagues in the parliament. The maids all chuckled, and of course the duchess also smiled.
:
"Didn't Luvia tell you? Sometimes the accuracy of divination is not the most important. What's important is how to interpret the divination results. I admit that Belindel is a very capable diviner, but compared to her
, I trust Luvia more, she is more in line with our recognition of the genius diviner."
She paused and added:
As for spending less than half a month to go to sea, this not only requires determining the target location, but also preparing a reliable ship and a group of reliable sailors. Although it is not impossible to find out the location, preparing the ship and sailors must be a must.
Miss Laura is also willing to help, but the problem is that it takes time.
Seeing Shade thinking, the red-haired witch smiled and said:
"You'd better explore the Moon Bay area. Check the wooden planks in the museum yourself, the location of the sunken ship and the way to get out to sea. I and the other ladies will help you find a way. If you are afraid of wasting time, let Xiwei finish his work.
I will go to Yuewan to find you later and fly you there, or Vanessa should have time too."
