【Outlander, you have returned to the present time.】
A gentle voice came to his ears, and Shade walked out of the white mist and returned to his warm and comfortable home.
The cat, which had transformed from a toy again, just shook its body violently and shook off its slightly wet hair, and then happily went to the table to wait for breakfast.
But Shade doesn't have the strange abilities of a cat. Fortunately, he told him in advance about the troubles he would encounter in the past, so the maids had already prepared a change of clothes.
When Shade finished cleaning up and walked out of the bathroom, the red-haired Duchess also walked out of the bedroom. The breakfast that Mia had been waiting for finally started, and Miss Carina also ate breakfast lazily while listening to Shade's narration.
What just happened.
The twelfth-level witch is also well-informed, and when Shade told the story, he inevitably added a lot of subjective assumptions, so she understood what Shade had guessed:
"This is really interesting. If that's the case, isn't that Miss Eliaser the one you want to verify?"
"There is no need to verify, just let her think of it by herself. She is not simply amnesiac. What she described is like the content of an erotic novel. In my opinion, it is more like a metaphor, similar to when Chloe was in the Silver Mountains, she mistakenly
I thought a group of 13 people were climbing a snow-capped mountain.”
Shade is very optimistic about this:
"Of course, in order to prevent my guess from being wrong and to investigate the real cause of the sinking of the Radiant Messenger, I still have to have a detailed discussion with Miss Elisa."
"So, you're going to spend more time in Moon Bay these days?"
The red-haired witch looked at him while holding the tea cup:
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, how is your relationship with Bella? Has anything interesting happened in the past two weeks? She hasn't mentioned you to Vanessa in the parliament anymore."
"recent."
Memories of the treatment by the hilly stream in the middle of the night, the smooth shoulders, and the tooth marks on the neck all came to mind. Seeing Shade's expression lost in memories, the duchess smiled with satisfaction:
"It seems that the progress is going well, so I feel relieved."
"Did you understand something wrong?"
"My understanding is that you succeeded in making the Countess of Yuewan fall in love with you. Isn't that true?"
He blinked his eyes as he spoke, and when he saw Xia De looking like he didn't know how to refute, he smiled even more happily.
After breakfast, Miss Carina left with the maids. Before leaving, she thanked Shade for his hospitality last night with a very passionate kiss.
But Shade did not leave for Moon Bay in a hurry. Instead, at 8:30 in the morning, he went to the library of St. Byrons through the projection ceremony.
After he got home last night, he wrote a letter and asked to see Miss Danister, and the librarian quickly gave her a reply. When he saw her under the huge astronomical instrument above the library this morning, she was still
As usual, he was sitting on the sofa in the open space. This time, the coffee table in front of him was not piled with documents and books. Instead, snack trays and tea sets were neatly placed.
"Have you encountered any trouble again this time?"
After the two elf girls who helped prepare the ceremony left, Miss Daniste put down her teacup and asked, even joking:
"It can't be that girl from the Yuexi clan who caused trouble just half a week after arriving in Tobesk, right?"
"No, no, it's not Emilia's business."
Shade hurriedly shook his head and followed the agreement not to say anything about the curse letter:
"I have been active in Yuewan City on the west coast during this period. I recently bumped into people from the [Dragon Feast Cult] and the [Light Worshipers Training Association]. The latter uses a strange light that can melt almost everything. I would like to invite
Please investigate."
He described the strange light and said the most important thing:
"I suspect that the chosen ones of 'Light' will appear in the Moon Bay area. There are more and more signs proving this."
"Oh? Light, dragon, justice."
The red-haired sorceress thought thoughtfully:
"This news is very valuable. The college can also prepare in advance."
She had no doubt about the accuracy of this information:
"As for that light, I will also investigate it. St. Byrons does not have much interaction with the [Light Worshipers Training Association], and I don't know much about the situation of the thirteen-ringed 'Light Chaser'.
In short, you should be more careful when moving locally."
Shade nodded, and then talked about the second thing:
"I have recently come into contact with a high-circle thaumaturgy, and I would like to ask for your help."
The red-haired sorceress showed an increasingly interested expression:
"What type of thaumaturgy? I thought that any thaumaturgy would not be a problem for you."
"Please don't say that. It's not a moonlight spell, it's a time-based thaumaturgy."
Shade didn't want to reveal too much about Miss Adele Isabella, let alone reveal the secret of her thaumaturgy without her consent, so he described it as simply as possible:
"This thaumaturgy comes from a high-level warlock. It is a top-level time-based spell created by integrating his own skills. For some reasons, this kind-hearted high-level warlock taught me this thaumaturgy. I
The ceremony was successfully performed, but it could not be used successfully."
Miss Denister continued to smile and asked:
"Another sorceress?"
"um, yes."
"I'm not really good at the power of time, but looking at you, I know you don't want too many people to know about this. Well, let me give you some advice, but you must at least tell me
, what is the effect of thaumaturgy."
Shade summed it up:
"Rebound attack."
"The power of time returns the attack. This is indeed an amazing thaumaturgy. I really don't know where you got to know so many high-level female sorcerers."
She looked up at the huge astronomical instrument above her head, watching the silver-blue light escaping in it:
"Those thaumaturgic spells that can only be learned by the inventors from ancient times to the present are actually not uncommon. Those peculiar abilities that are specially tailored for oneself, or skills mastered due to unreplicable luck, are indeed only suitable for their creators
.But every incantation invented has its own reference value for others. Even if you can't learn it, you can still gain your own power from it."
Long-haired Luvia also talked about this point of view in her dream.
"So what advice are you going to give me?"
Miss Danister smiled and pointed to the plate of biscuits on the table. One of the cream-sandwich biscuits flew towards Shade with a "swish", and was then subconsciously raised by Shade to catch it.
Because he was unable to eat in the projection state, he did not taste it. Miss Danist asked:
"Why catch it instead of flicking it away?"
"Because this is a biscuit. I'm not attacking you. I'm saying that if you can't fully master this thaumaturgy at once, how about starting with some of its characteristics?"
Shade immediately understood that he could do the reversal of time himself, he could also look at the starry sky and experience the return of the stars, and it was even easier to experience the feeling of rebound attacks. He needed to start from these aspects separately, not all at once.
Try to fully imitate this time. Even if you still can't learn it, you can at least master part of the power of thaumaturgy:
"Wait a minute, the technique that the god taught me in the Sunless Sea just now about using a fishing rod to draw strength was also a tip for me, right?"
Miss Denister naturally didn't know what he was thinking of, and she nodded with satisfaction:
"You can indeed understand."
He raised his hand and waved out a ray of crimson moonlight. This time, Shade did not try to catch it. Instead, he raised his hands and violently spun them in front of him. The moonlight was not powerful, and was almost equivalent to a simple light spell. But Shade
Combining the experience of the last failed spell cast and the fishing skills learned from the Sunless Sea, I finally managed to turn half of the red moon's light back in the faint starlight color, and offset the other half of the red moon's light.
Light fragments were flying in front of him. Although this attack could not even be called an attack, Shade was also unable to exert his full power because his feet did not leave the ground and was in a projection state. Therefore, this attempt was very successful. Shade was surprised to see
Looking at her hands, Miss Daniste really helped him find the direction with just a few words.
"This thaumaturgy is very unusual. I can't think of what it will look like in its complete form for the time being, but I look forward to you showing me your new skills one day in the future."
The red-haired sorceress said with a smile. Shade immediately thanked her, but did not stay long. He talked to Miss Daniste for a few more words and then ended the projection. After returning home, he stood up from the chair and picked up
The cat lying on the lap:
"If time reversal of pure energy turns out to be like this, if it's a physical attack."
He thought for a while, walked into the restaurant and put the cat on the dining table:
"Come on, jump on me."
Although little Mia might not be able to understand human speech, she could at least understand Shad's waving movements. So the cat happily ran a few times, and then pounced on Shad from the air. Originally, it wanted to "bounce" the cat away.
Shade stretched out his hand to catch it and scratched the cat's chin, feeling that he still couldn't use the cat to practice thaumaturgy.
Today is Friday, and there are three things that need to be done. The most important of them is the card game at the Moon Bay Councilor Club in the evening. He promised Miss Belindel that Shade would not be late. Of course, he cannot forget it.
At noon, we have to meet the porter and his son at the dock. They have clues about the "Eternal Light", and the boy is involved in Miss Elisa's mission.
But before that, while there was still time in the morning, Shade continued to visit the relatives of the coroner, Mr. Ptolemy Albert. He gave three addresses, and now Shade only went to see one.
However, I encountered two unexpected things during my trip this Friday morning. The first was that Shade successfully brought the cat to Yuewan. The cat would occasionally go out for a walk at Shade's insistence; the other was that Shade successfully brought the cat to Yuewan.
The thing is that in Yuewan City, which is in the Thunder Moon, fine snow actually fell under the gloomy sky this morning:
"The Thunder Moon is July, and it actually snows in July."
