Chapter 244: Staying Over

Miss Bayas arrived at almost eight o'clock. When she followed Shade upstairs, Shade noticed that her hair was still wet. After sitting down, she complained to Shade and Miss Anat:

"This afternoon our team received a temporary mission and was sent to the sewers in the north of the city to catch a few bold guys selling contraband. Do you know the smell in the underground pipes in Tobesk?"

She made a very indescribable expression:

"It's best that you never know. After the mission was over, I went home and took a shower for a full hour before I felt that the smell had faded away."

"I don't smell any strange smell now."

Miss Anat said, and Shade went to the kitchen to get her some bread. Miss Bayas came here hungry, and her hair was not even dry yet.

"That's because I used perfume, very expensive perfume."

She tried to trace the shape of the perfume bottle with her hands:

"A small bottle of Kasenlik's imported products costs 3 pounds. It was a gift I gave myself on my birthday last year. In fact, I don't think it's worth the price after using it."

She took the bread from Shade, thanked her softly, and shook the bread at Mia who was squatting on the back of the sofa. But the orange cat's cat food was much more expensive than the cheap bread essence that Shade bought.

, so they will not be attracted by this temptation at all.

"Have you finally caught someone?"

Shade asked as he sat down.

"We were caught. Everyone was very angry at the time. When we arrested them, we deliberately and accidentally hit them hard... Just pretend you didn't hear it."

She waved her hand sheepishly, and Shade couldn't help but smile.

"What kind of contraband are they selling?"

Miss Anat asked again.

"I don't know either. The captain refused to say anything and told us with a straight face that it was a secret. But when they arrested him, they searched him and found red salt in a small bottle. That was probably what they were planning to sell.

, if you encounter it recently, remember to report it to me, I will get the reward and share it with you."

While Miss Bayas was eating bread, Shade and Miss Anat confirmed their respective preparations for tomorrow night.

Shade learned the key thaumaturgy [Laleg's Leap], spent 43 pounds to buy [Bordeaux Candle] from Old John, and borrowed a real sage-level relic [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace]

].

Miss Anat recovered from the weakness after paying the price for divination on Sunday. She borrowed a compass from the association to guide the direction, and borrowed from her friend a poet-level relic that could see through illusions. The appearance was a single piece.

glasses, and then obtained a few steam bombs from black market channels.

Steam bombs are completely useless against high-level warlocks, but they may have some effect on weak silver-eyed ones.

"However, which of your friends could actually lend you a sage-level relic?"

Looking at the jewelry box that Shade placed on the coffee table, Miss Bayas and Miss Anat were both surprised. Although there is only one level difference between the Sage level (Level 2) and the Secret Keeper level (Level 3), the former is more precious.

Sex speaks for itself:

"Even for high-level warlocks, this relic is quite attractive. The other party actually lent it to you directly? Why don't I have such a friend?"

"Of course it's not without cost."

Shade explained that he was going to attend a charity banquet tomorrow night.

Miss Anat and Miss Bayas did not object, but hoped that Shade could stay at that dinner party. Rather than breaking into the ruins with them, a banquet where the Righteous Church ensures safety is where he should be.

They were worried about Sha De's safety, but Sha De was determined to get the gift left to him by the God of the Fifth Age.

Miss Anat took out her notepad:

"I have investigated the ruins in the past few days and made new discoveries. Since you have other arrangements, the plan needs to be readjusted. Now let me take a look at the originally planned action plan... At the same time, we

We need to calibrate the pocket watch, Shade, you can do it. Oh, there are so many things to do, we are very busy tonight."

She shook her head in annoyance, while Shade looked out the window at the rainy night and hesitated and suggested:

"Why don't you stay here tonight? My house is very big. The weather outside is so bad, I don't think there is any need to go back late at night..."

After speaking, he emphasized again:

"I didn't say that for any other reason."

"It doesn't matter. You are lower level than our ring wizards. Even if you do bad things, it won't be your turn."

Miss Anat waved her hands and joked, and Miss Bayas also smiled and nodded:

"You're right, this is a good idea. But we have to go home to get a change of clothes in a while. This way, we can ensure that everyone is together before the action tomorrow night."

However, although the house in St. Teresa Square is large, there are only two beds. The bed that Shade has in the second bedroom is the larger one, which can be replaced with new bedding for the two girls to squeeze in, and he,

I have no choice but to sleep in Detective Sparrow's crib.

【I thought you would have some psychological shadow on that bed.】

"There are three ring magicians here tonight. It's really going to be haunted, and Sparrow will definitely be the unlucky one."

The girls stood up and prepared to go home to get a change of clothes and toiletries. Shade also stood up and thought of another thing:

"Oh, speaking of which, can I ask your weight?"

When it was proposed to spend the night here, they were not very alert, but this question made the two girls with brown hair alert:

"That's not polite, Shade."

Miss Bayas said angrily.

"No, no, it's about the candle. I got a very nice candle."

That night, they talked until early in the morning before going to rest separately. Shade's candle could help the three of them become invisible together, and the others also obtained good relics, which could help them make targeted adjustments to their plans.

In addition to talking about plans and arrangements for tomorrow night, Miss Bayas also returned the [Witch's Carbon Paper] that had been imprinted with the Thirteenth Ring Warlock's thaumaturgy [Sunshine Sword] to Shade.

Based on the characteristics of this relic, Shade burned the carbon paper, mixed the remaining ashes into water, stirred continuously, and finally drank every drop while holding his nose.

After drinking it, I got some hints from the voice in my head. I tilted my head and thought for a moment, then stretched out my right index finger. A slender silver moon light jumped out from the fingertip like a short knife. After a little experimentation, the fingertip appeared.

The cutting performance of the sharp blade is quite good. Without the blessing of [Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace], its ability to break through defenses exceeds that of [Silver Moon Slash].

This thaumaturgy should be a close combat ability and can be paired with the [Blade of Disrupted Time]. Furthermore, Shade could feel that the witch's carbon paper was still being digested, and the current gains were only the prototype of thaumaturgy.

A "digestion" process is needed for him to fully master thaumaturgy. It is not the digestion of the intestines and stomach, but the soul to digest that power. Miss Bayas has investigated the information of "Witch's Carbon Paper", and according to the records, since

Since he had such power from the beginning, what he gained should not be so simple. It would most likely be a powerful thaumaturgy that is very close to the [Sunshine Great Sword].

What exactly he got in the end was related to Shade's own spiritual rune type and his strongest thoughts. He was full of expectations for it.

"There will definitely be no problems with our actions tomorrow night."

This was Shade's thought when he was lying in the owner's bedroom No. 1 on the second floor, preparing to fall asleep.

The cat lying on the pillow had just run over. Mia had just seen Shad go to the bathroom to wash up. Knowing that he was ready to rest, she rushed into his room. But after a while, she saw that it was not Shad but a woman who entered the door.

He rushed out of the bedroom door and found Shade in the next room.

It seems that the cat may have mistakenly thought that Miss Bayas and Miss Anat had killed Shade and occupied the house.

Fortunately, little Mia didn't recognize the bed and fell asleep faster than Shade. Shade, who was thinking about something in his mind, lay with his eyes closed for a long time before falling asleep.

At this time, it was still raining outside.

(Little Mia is running...)

It seems that opening and closing the eyes only takes a matter of two or three seconds. The sound of rain hitting the window is still heard in the ears. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the weak and even breathing of the cat.

Shade opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Thaumaturgy told him that it was five o'clock on Thursday morning. He had only slept for less than four hours, but when he woke up, he was not sleepy at all.

"Is it still raining? I hope it won't affect things tonight."

After looking at the slightly unfamiliar ceiling for a while, he quietly left the bed. The cat, who was very alert when sleeping, was of course awakened, but stood up and looked around to see if there was any danger, and then leaned over the pillow again.

This is the bedroom that belonged to Sparrow Hamilton. After the detective passed away, Shade only came here occasionally to clean the room or come here to look for information left by the previous detective.

This was the morning when Shade saw this room for the first time. When he was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was still wondering whether the room in front of Detective Sparrow when he woke up every morning was the same as he is now.

Feeling.

Because there were other people at home, Shade tried not to make any noise when he walked out of the room. It was still early and it was still raining outside, so the living room without the lights seemed a little dark.

Standing at the door of the bedroom and glancing around, I saw that the door of the room where the girls were resting was still closed, so they must all be sleeping.

He woke up too early, and Shade didn't know what he should do now. He stood in the living room and looked around again, and then saw that the door was open a crack:

"Who's out?"

I stepped on my slippers and walked to the corridor on the second floor. There was no light downstairs, but the door of Room 2 on the second floor next door was also open.

Shade pushed the door open and entered. The room without gas lights and furniture was empty and a little cold. The sound of rain here seemed louder than the sound of rain next door.

He immediately saw Miss Bayas standing in front of the window.

The girl with long brown hair stood in front of the window, holding a tea cup in one hand and holding the elbow of the other hand. She looked at the rain in St. Teresa Square outside the window in the dark. She was wearing clothes that she rented from the hotel last night.

Nightgown from my apartment.

Shade at the door could only see her profile. For some reason, Shade thought this profile was so lonely.
