The autumn morning sun shone on the withered yellow leaves on the forest floor. Not far from the fire scene, Shade took one last look at the extinguishing sea of fire. After confirming that no one was following him, he carried the owl on his shoulders and prepared to head back.
Walk.
"The plan was successful. If those people were smart, they should have started the interrogation by now."
Shade said in a brisk tone.
"So, in addition to being a correspondence student of the college, you were actually a member of the Church of the Sun!"
Miss Owl held back her words until now, but Shade shook his head:
"Of course not, and the college only recruits ordinary people who have just awakened for correspondence courses. How could I have been a ring warlock of the Church of the Sun before? I need to emphasize that I believe in the god of light and shadow - [Mr. Dawn], and that
The sun has nothing to do with the God of the Earth - [Old Man with the Lamp]."
The round-faced owl didn't believe it at all. She flapped her wings slightly to attract Shade's attention:
"You were very powerful just now. Tell me, where did you learn these magical arts? We have been together for a week, and except for the dangerous [Black Moon Talisman], you have not used other moon magical arts at all.
.”
She urged Xia De to get the answer. Seeing that Xia De refused to answer, she asked again:
"Then at least tell me how you mastered the witch's secret technique! You are obviously not the apprentice of any witch, and you are a man. How could you master our power?"
If she had known about this when they first met, she might have already started planning to tell Miss Isabella, but now she just wants to find out everything.
"I can't answer this question. To me, there is no difference between mastering these secret arts and mastering thaumaturgy. They are just power. Carina has also explored this question, but she can't find the answer."
"This is really interesting, so would you like me to study it too? This is totally unreasonable!"
Miss Owl asked again:
"There's also the matter of the dragon's roar! I can tell it's a dragon's roar! Did you just use the ancient dragon language spell? So you are actually a dragonborn?"
She seemed to have too many questions.
"Can I not explain?"
The shoes made a pleasant sound when they stepped on the dry leaves. The roar of the dragon just now scared away the small animals nearby. The forest was very quiet now.
"Do you not trust me? Oh, does Carina know your secret?"
"certainly!"
Shade replied while continuing to walk deeper into the forest. He didn't want to contact the [Forest Hermits], he just wanted to take a big detour and return to the city.
Having just met with the church, he was not in a hurry to go find the hermits immediately.
"Carina knows, why can't I know?"
Miss Owl immediately asked again, but after asking, she realized that the question was strange, and she seemed a little self-righteous. So she folded her wings and stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Shade walked for a long time before she whispered.
:
"If you want to learn, I can teach you the art of transformation."
"She" seemed to smile in his ears, and Xia De looked at the scenery in the forest in autumn and smiled:
"It's not impossible for you to want to know more about me."
"You want to say that you still don't completely trust me, right?"
Owl asked. Shade actually almost trusted her. Miss Flora Winslet is a very interesting person:
"It's better than this. In the next actions, I will let you slowly get to know me. I will no longer hide my methods, and you will slowly observe by yourself. It's not that I still don't trust you, but my situation is a bit complicated."
"Then we have a deal! I know you are not a stingy person."
But she was so satisfied with the answer that when she grabbed the cat and flew to the city soon, her speed was much faster than usual.
After wandering around in the woods for so long and making a long circuit, Miss Bell and the others should have returned to the hotel, while Shade and Miss Winslet were still thinking about whether they could catch up with Miss Danister during the flight.
Have lunch.
When we returned to the bustling city center, it was 12:30 noon. The flapping owl grabbed the cat and landed on the window sill of his room No. 321. He pushed open the window with a peck and threw Xia De away.
Got in.
The cat quickly rolled on the ground twice, and just as it was about to stand up and change back to its human form, the door was opened from the outside.
Shade thought it was Miss Bell or Miss Daniste. He looked up while maintaining his cat form, but saw the familiar gray and black nun's robe and the faintly visible feet under the robe.
The cat is very short, so what Shade actually sees is the hem of his robe, but he can tell who is in front of him without raising his head.
At this time, the owl also slipped in through the window neatly. Just as he was about to talk to Shade, he also saw a funny scene in front of him——
The silver cat stood at the feet of the nun wearing an eyepatch, while the nun, with her hands clasped together in front of her, tilted her head slightly and looked down at it.
Only then did Miss Bell poke her head out from behind Sister Devlin. The black-haired young girl was unable to notice the cat below because of the nun's obstruction, so she just said to her teacher:
??????55.??????
"Miss, Sister Devlin came two hours ago."
"Your Excellency Isabella hopes that I can see your curse."
The nun's voice was still calm and ethereal, but the owl that was frozen on the window sill only reacted at this moment and hurriedly jumped off the window sill and turned into a human form:
"Good morning, Sister Devlin."
She smoothed her hair and walked quickly to the door. She was not familiar with this nun who usually didn't talk much. After all, although the nun attended the meeting, she didn't always show up.
She just wanted to "recycle" the cat as soon as possible, but Sister Devlin bent down and picked up the cat before her.
"this is mine!"
The gray-black haired witch immediately emphasized, and then a new figure appeared at the door. The red-haired girl looked over:
"What are you doing here? Why is it so busy?"
Sister Devlin turned to look at her. Although Miss Daniste had not had direct contact with her, she also knew about the chosen one of death.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw the silver cat. She understood immediately and tried to hold back her smile:
"Sorry, I am a guest staying in room 317, and this is my cat. You are so naughty, you broke into a strange girl's room."
As she spoke, she was about to take the cat, but the nun looked down at the cat held in her hand with burn marks.
Shade looked at the silver eyepatch for a moment, and then said as if accepting his fate:
"Okay, I know things are a little confusing right now. But anyway, welcome to Vista City, Sister Devlin."
The current situation was already very confusing, and he was really too lazy to sort out complex issues such as "who should know whom", "who thought that someone didn't know him", "who knew who knew him but had to pretend not to know".
The silver cat then nimbly jumped off the nun's hand and transformed into a human form:
"Good afternoon, everyone here."
Miss Winslet, who was surprised by his reckless behavior, was even more surprised to find that the face of the blind nun who she thought "had the beauty of an ice sculpture" and "probably had no human emotions" actually appeared on her face at this moment
He showed a reserved smile.
Although the silver eye mask covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her complete appearance, her gentle and calm temperament coupled with her own sense of mystery, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. She had never seen this scene before.
The artist lady was stunned at that time.
Then I realized:
"Shadow, do you know Sister Devlin?"
She looked suspiciously at the man standing with his back to her, while the nun gently nodded to Shade:
"He and I have known each other for a long time. Good afternoon, Shade."
After saying that, he walked in, and Shade greeted others:
"Miss Bell, Miss Denister, please come in and talk. Don't stand at the door."
"This seems to be my room."
The witch whispered, and then called everyone in:
"Charlotte, let them arrange lunch. You have been busy all morning. Sit down and have lunch with us later."
Then he signaled to Shade to say something. When Shade saw everyone standing and looking at him, he said to Sister Devlin:
"You have seen Miss Winslet. This is Miss Denister, the 'Red Moon Witch' from St. Byrons. I wonder if the 'Speaker' has said that she was also hit.
Time Curse, currently in Vista City investigating this place with me."
Sister Devlin softly expressed her greetings to the red-haired girl, and the eighteen-year-old sorceress also responded softly, and was very curious about the relationship between Shade and this nun.
"Miss Winslet, Miss Danister, this is Sister Devlin from the [Spiritual Order], you must all know her. She is mine."
Shade blinked, unable to think of any words to use to describe the precise relationship between the two.
"Friends" is obviously wrong, their relationship is much better than friends;
"Master and apprentice" is even more wrong. Although the nun did teach Shade a lot of things, she did not pass on the knowledge, but gave the "fire-bearing hero" the necessary means to use fire;
The title of "Guide to the Way" seems okay, but Sister Devlin only guided Shade to use the power of the First Fire. In fact, the person who fits the status of "Guide to the Strangers" should be Bill Schneider.
【How about a facilitator who has a lover relationship?】
"Have you suddenly started to like teasing me lately?"
"Shad helped me a lot."
Seeing Shade pause, the nun took the initiative to speak. Because no one could see her eyes, no one could tell her mood:
"He is the hero I chose to bear the fire."
The red-haired girl just looked at Shade strangely. She did not realize the meaning of this sentence. The witch who knew some secrets of the spiritual cult looked at Shade hesitantly and nodded lightly:
"That's right, Sister, since you have known Shade for a long time."
