Shade held the sword and tried to inject his own spirit again, so the shadow of the angel appeared behind Shade again, and this time Shade clearly felt that he could control the shadow behind him more smoothly.
Although he doesn't plan to hold this sword for a long time, it's okay to use it for a little while.
Having finished asking the questions that he came here to meet the angel, Shade wanted to say goodbye and leave. But after a moment of hesitation, he asked again:
"About [Desire]."
"That's your desire."
The angel is still smiling:
"You have to face your desires by yourself. No one can help you with this matter."
She once again gently touched Shade's left chest with the top of the long staff in her hand. Some golden fragments of light splashed out from the contact point between the two. Shade felt that his whole body had become much "cleaner", but also
That's all.
"I applied purification for you, but it turns out that you were not cursed, nor were you possessed by the power of the mermaid. Everything was just because of yourself."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder."
After petting the well-behaved cat, Shade bowed and said goodbye. But when he turned to leave, he heard the angel behind him whisper again:
"There is indeed a piece of the remains of the original angel in the Moon Bay area."
Since he had to return the horse from the White Valley Vineyard, Shade did not throw away the glass slipper and go home. Instead, he returned to the vineyard and returned home from the wine cellar.
The return trip was delayed for some time. By the time Shade walked out of the basement with little Mia in his arms, the street lights on Saint Teresa Square outside his home had already turned on.
The maids prepared dinner at home. Although Carina and Lesia did not take the initiative to say anything, when the two red-haired Cavendish sat at the dining table and looked at Shade who walked in the door,
Shade felt that he had no reason not to sit down and eat at home.
"Meow~"
Besides, this cat would not easily allow Shade to leave like this.
At the dinner table, Lesia and Miss Carina, who had not been out at home all day, were both curious about what Shade had done that day.
Shade also explained the [Angel's Right Arm], the Light Chaser and the Lady of the Lake. Of course, he did not mention Priest August at all.
"Angel level again?"
The balanced witch was quite surprised:
"What's going on in Moon Bay? Are there too many angel-level relics?"
"When we were in Green Lake, we didn't encounter so many angel-level relics."
Lesia also agreed, then took a piece of veal steak with a fork and brought it to Shade's mouth.
After Shade swallowed the mouthful of beef, he said:
"Luvia said that the stories of the chosen ones are becoming more dangerous every time, so this is normal. At least there are only a few angel-level relics that have appeared so far that are hostile to us."
He wiped his mouth:
"The ability to extinguish light that Miss Elisa showed today is also very interesting. It seems that I will have a talk with Luvia after the exam."
"I have a question."
The beautiful Duke asked:
"You always ask others to put down what they are doing and go to the exam with peace of mind. How are you preparing yourself? Didn't Miss Danister arrange for you to take the skipping exam?"
Shade is currently still a fourth-year student at St. Byrons, even one level below Amelia. Of course, the elf girl did not notice this.
During the summer exam week when she was originally unable to take the promotion exam, Miss Denister asked Shade to make an exception and take the exams from four to five and five to six. In this way, if the exam goes well, Shade will be a sixth-grade correspondence student at St. Byrons.
Already.
Although he is actually a seven-ring warlock.
"I am quite well prepared. At least I have memorized all the knowledge in the book."
As he said that, he picked up the wine glass. The dinner tonight was very sumptuous.
Miss Carina and Lesia looked at each other:
"If the content of the St. Byrons examination is only the knowledge written in dictation books, then the St. Byrons that has inherited two eras is nothing more than that.
Shade, we know that Yuewan is in the last calm before the storm, and there are a lot of things that you need to do, but it shouldn’t be a problem to take a few days off to review, right? Today is Thursday, and you still have Friday and Sunday.
Six is for review."
Their focus was to let Xia De take a rest and review something. Xia De felt that he had done a good job.
But this suggestion is actually not bad. Shade thought for a moment and looked at the cat who lowered his head to eat:
"After dinner, I will go to Yuewan again. If there is nothing else, I will consider taking two days off to review."
After dinner, he naturally had something to do when he went to Moon Bay. Little Mia was left at home, and Shade himself took advantage of the night to come to Belindel Manor.
It was so late, the girls in the manor had already had dinner, and Miss Belindle, who had been out, had also returned.
When Shade saw her in the study, she was discussing with Miss Swift and Miss Elias how to open the square metal box on the table.
"This is indeed the family crest of the Wood family. I checked the documents shared by the Wood family. There are only three ring magicians born in their family in the Sixth Age. It is clearly recorded that this box may be related to the second one. Maybe he
I also found and entered the ruins, and left this thing behind, waiting for the next generation of ring magicians to find it."
The countess said, seeing Shade coming in, she asked again:
"Shadow, remember Marika Frost?"
"The female werewolf who works in the kitchen now?"
Shade said casually, the flaxen-haired girl said hello to him, and Shade sat next to her:
"Isn't her husband's grandfather known as 'Wood who is not Wood'? You also said that the golden dragon scale that was supposed to belong to your family appears in the Whispering Hills, maybe because of that 'Wood who is not Wood'
'Find out something."
The witch nodded slightly and pointed to the exquisite mechanism box on the table:
"It's not easy to open this thing out of thin air. The Wood family has no clues about this box. However, the Marchioness of Ankara took me to see the relics of the Frost family. There was a strange oil painting with something similar to this box.
A similar pattern. The three of us were discussing how to open it, and Miss Swift really learned something from Granny Cassandra."
The latter smiled at Shade, and Shade asked doubtfully:
"Can't you use spells to open the lock? You should know that I have a spell that is very effective. Or, I actually have a [Master Key] in my hand, which I got from a demon in Green Lake."
"No, no, Shade."
The blue-eyed dragon girl said:
"Your spell and the relic can open the lock, but we are not sure whether there are countermeasures in this box against this abnormal cracking method. It would be terrible if the items inside are damaged."
The witch pointed to the golden dragon scales, the black dragon scales on the table, and the compass made by Luvia:
"Look, there should be dragon scales in this box. Even if the probability is small, we can't take the risk of the dragon scales being damaged."
The three of them continued to discuss how to open the box. Miss Swift learned the formal puzzle-solving methods for opening similar secret boxes from Granny Cassandra. Miss Eliaser tended to use the clues obtained from the current investigation to find the key. The witch
You want to get the solution to the puzzle through divination.
In the end, they decided to use these three methods together. Now that the box is in hand, it is only a matter of time before they want to open it.
"You must be careful not to let the Light Chaser sense this box again."
Shade reminded, the countess moved to his other side and hugged one of his hands quite affectionately:
"Are you looking down on me? Shielding divination and induction are the things I am best at."
"So what do you think about the Light Seekers? Are there any changes to the actions of the [Light Seekers Training Association]?"
This will be the first major local action of the [Witch Parliament] since the Moon Bay Incident. It will also be the first parliamentary event organized by Miss Belindel in so many years. In addition, it can be regarded as revenge for herself. She is very
Pay attention to this matter.
"The plan remains unchanged. We will take action when Miss Elisa brings back Sister Devlin and Xiwei from the New World. Although the nun has to return directly to the [Spiritual Order], her close cooperation with the Parliament cannot be easily exposed.
But it’s enough to have so many big witches and Miss Elise, but it’s a pity that Audrey and Megan can’t arrive next week.”
As she spoke, she waved to the maids to come over and pour tea:
"Miss Elisa said that she will leave tomorrow morning and come back with Xiwei and the others on Saturday evening. I plan to take action on Sunday."
"I have a test on Sunday."
Shade reminded:
"And there is a high probability that the exam will take one day, so can we do it on Sunday night?"
"no no."
The blue-eyed girl sitting opposite the sofa shook her head:
"You can take the exam with peace of mind. You don't need to be involved in this matter. Four great witches with seats in the parliament took action together, plus me. In the fifth era, this was enough to clear up any continent.
.”
But that was the fifth era, and the minimum requirement for a seat at that time was thirteen rings. There were many demigods sitting at the round table, and even if they were unlucky, demigods might not even be able to sit on the council seats.
"Xia De, my mother-in-law also said that we can't rely on you for everything."
Miss Swift also said, her flaxen hair tied up and tied behind her head:
"We don't rely on you to take action, and didn't the enemy we dealt with this time happen to be restrained by Miss Eleser? Maybe you should believe in us, and besides, we are worthy of your trust."
"You really don't need me?"
"If you are willing, you can lend us the [Night Watcher] and [Angel's Right Arm]."
The great witch of fate said. Seeing that they persisted and that he had no bad premonition, Shade had no choice but to nod:
"I can lend you both swords. But you have to take action on Sunday afternoon instead of in the morning. I will finish my exam in the afternoon and will come over as soon as possible."
