In short, no matter how unhappy Carina is, life still has to go on. The Duchess seemed to have nothing to do in the morning, but she was still taken away by Lesia when she left, telling her not to do anything harmful to Carina in broad daylight.
A matter of honor for the Dish family.
She usually does this kind of thing at night.
Luvia also left with them. Today is Wednesday, and she also has to go to work at the Prophet Association. So in the originally bustling house, only Shade and little Mia were left.
Tifa had already put away the dishes for breakfast with the maids before leaving, and Shade didn't have any housework to do. So after returning to the second floor from the foyer, he went to Room 2, where Miss Feliana lives these days.
bedroom.
The bedroom has also been neatly tidied, and the quilt is spread flat on the bed, bathed in the morning sunshine together with the desk.
Shade has never taken the initiative to enter this room in the past two days, and the room now looks like it has never been used.
He sat down on the bed facing the window, petted the cat for a while and then stood up. He put little Mia on the window sill to let her bask in the sun, while he lifted the quilt and planned to fold it and put it away in the cabinet.
Miss Feliana must have used thaumaturgy to clean it. The quilt and pillows are very new.
【Don’t you want to collect this bedding set?】
"She" asked in Shade's ear with a smile, but Shade ignored it. He just folded the quilt and picked up the pillows to put them together when a letter appeared under the pillow.
"oh?"
There was nothing written on the white envelope. After opening the envelope, there was only a folded letter paper inside. There was also no writing on the white letter paper, but there was a clear red lipstick printed on the folded top.
The lip lines were quite clear, and the light red color was not clear to Xia De. He didn’t know how to describe it specifically. He only knew that he was very happy at this time. After putting the letter away, he went to the window and opened it, letting
The warm summer breeze blows into the room.
Today's weather is rare in Tobesk, just like Shade's mood at this time.
After writing a letter to Miss Danister and informing Miss Feliana and Fiona of their departure, Shade took little Mia out.
Miss Danist will probably talk to him about the "Teacher's Clues" soon, and although Shade listened to the two witches talk about their visit experience, this matter should be more interesting from Miss Danist's perspective.
.
As for going out with little Mia, of course it's not because both Shade and Cat can't stand the empty "lonely" atmosphere at home, but because he still has things to do.
Soon they took a carriage and arrived at Old John's pawn shop. As the door bell rang, the old man reading the newspaper behind the counter raised his head, and then smiled at Shade:
"Look who this is, I didn't expect a busy man to come to my place."
"The matter in Yuewan is over, what else do I need to do?"
Shade also said with a smile, put the cat on the counter, looked at the familiar furnishings of the pawn shop and sighed:
"Dad John, I really envy you such a leisurely life."
A few weeks ago, in order to find the [Star Sword Stone], Shade asked Old John for help, and he learned that the relic was in the hands of Mr. Chekov who opened a second-hand bookstore in Yuewan City, so Old John knew that Shade was active in Yuewan.
"I really don't know if you are praising me or sarcastic."
The old man put down the newspaper to prepare hot tea for Shade, but he did not ask anything about Moon Bay or even the War of Gods:
"Are you buying information or relics this time?"
"Relics, I have said before that I have long been acquiring special coins and relics that can absorb energy, spirits and other entities or non-entities and pass them on to the user. Do you have the goods now?"
The [Profane Cross] that followed Shade for more than half a year has been consumed in Moon Bay. It was given to him by Granny Cassandra. Although it is unlikely that he will encounter an evil god again immediately, this kind of thing cannot be done after all.
Make preparations when you get there.
Old John also remembers Shard’s acquisition commission:
"Of course there are goods. Don't underestimate my channels. However, the relics this time are only poet-level. Although they meet your conditions, I don't know if you are satisfied."
He quickly retrieved the relic. This time the relic was also not big. In other words, if you didn't look down, it would be difficult to even see the thin silver needle embedded in the alloy.
"The containment condition is to place it in this special iron alloy. The poet-level relic [Renyi's injection needle], yes, this is not a sewing needle but a syringe needle.
When using it, you need to pierce any end into your own body, and then use it to pierce the body of other people. Remember, don't get the order wrong, otherwise it will not be you sucking others, but others sucking you."
The old man motioned to Shade to take out the thin silver needle and take a look:
"Of course, because it is only a poet-level relic, its use is very limited. The hardness of this needle is very low, and ordinary [Petrified Skin] can easily defend against its attack. Moreover, it can only absorb spirit, and its conversion efficiency is very low.
Shockingly low.
Because spirit itself is an aggregate of energy, information and various things, it has characteristics that are immeasurable and unobservable. Therefore, I cannot give you the exact conversion efficiency, but it should be between one-tenth and one-fifteenth.
.
In other words, if you use this to absorb other people's spirits, absorbing a spirit that can release ten fireballs will almost give you a spirit that is enough to release one fireball."
"How is the absorption speed?"
Shade asked again, and Old John shook his head regretfully:
"The longer the piercing time is, the more spirit will be absorbed, which means that you need to keep the acupuncture action to do this. Its absorption efficiency is extremely slow, and it is hard to describe specifically. In short, this is not for you.
A relic used in actual combat situations.”
"So its biggest function is actually to share souls among companions in a resting state, right?"
For example, in special areas such as the "Golden Sand Sea" where it is difficult to recover the spirit, Shade can use this relic to share his abundant spirit with his companions. Of course, if you can carry the relic, it is actually more efficient to use the [Perfume of Desire]
higher.
"Yes, that's what it does. The low conversion efficiency and absorption efficiency are indeed shortcomings, but at least as a poet-level relic, it is safe enough. But I must remind you, if this relic is not suitable for ring warlocks or ring warlocks who are extremely lacking in spirit,
If it is used by ordinary people, what it absorbs is life force."
“What are the negative attributes?”
Shade was very interested in this relic.
"Share extreme emotions and body-related curses. Note that it is not sharing, but sharing. After all, we are poets, and the side effects are not big."
"Does this relic meet my needs?"
Shade asked in his mind.
【Can.】
So Sha De carefully took out the thin silver needle from the alloy. If the relic fell to the ground, it would be very troublesome to find it with just the eyes. And no matter how slender the relic was, when Sha De's finger touched it, it was still in the silver needle.
The surface touched extremely tiny carvings——
[Noble people know how to share, but they should also be wary of human greed.]
"Father John, please make an offer. For such low-level relics, general cash transactions are sufficient, right?"
"Of course. But this relic can share souls and is useful to a certain extent, so the price is on the high side, 13 pounds."
Shade didn't even negotiate the price this time. After putting the relic back, he went straight to his wallet.
But the old man behind the counter told him not to be so anxious. He said with a smile:
"I also have a deal to make with you. If the deal is concluded, maybe I will give you money in the end."
"What, Father John, what do you want to buy from me? Let me state in advance that little Mia is not for sale."
Shade stroked the cat and joked, and the old man behind the counter also smiled and shook his head:
"I know you were in Yuewan some time ago, so I want to buy some information about Yuewan."
"What kind of information is it specifically?"
Shade asked again, so Old John put the teacup in front of him and considered it for a moment:
"I would like to know if the two distinguished guests from afar are still with us?"
"Already gone back."
Old John nodded in surprise, not surprised that they had left, but surprised that Shade actually spoke so happily:
"So, can the 'hero' who invited three unexpected guests to Moon Bay last Sunday be able to invite unexpected guests to our place at any time like he did then?"
Shade thought for a moment:
"I don't know much, but I think it shouldn't be possible. After all, what happened to Yuewan this time was also an accident. If the righteous gods can appear, there is no need to invite those dangerous guests."
Old John nodded clearly and praised Shade:
"I'm not against that hero using this method. Even though I'm older, I'm a very open-minded person. As long as he can control the power, he can use any power. The existence of the Priory
The meaning is to pass on civilization, and we don’t mind using any means for this."
"But that's not what everyone else thinks, right?"
Shade asked with a smile.
"Don't worry about this. As long as the hero is strong enough and can solve such big troubles every time, people will understand even if he invites more guests next time. Besides, do you think that after going through this?
After this incident, who else in the material world would dare to provoke him casually?"
The old man who belonged to the Guiding Light Hermitage looked at Shade:
"Some time ago, you were probably too busy entertaining your Duke at home and had no time to go to the black market to inquire about new situations. Now people have recognized that the 'God Caller' is the strongest ring warlock in the material world of this era, proficient in the moon, time and summons
There are even rumors that the chosen one of light and justice who has never shown up is actually his subordinate."
Shade smiled and did not comment on this sentence. He would not discuss the topic of the coroner in Moon Bay with anyone.
