As she spoke, she placed her hand on the hidden fire mark:
"In many 'futures', I accepted Sister Devlin's fire before her death and became the last generation of fire-holding nuns in this world. I can reversely sense your time through this fire mark. No matter where you are lost,
No matter where you are lost, I can find you.
Shade, I won't care about other things this time. I just hope that you can stay with me until the end of time as promised."
She broke away from the coat on her body and kissed Shade again, and Shade later confirmed:
"In your current state, you shouldn't be able to exert power beyond the level of Luvia in this world, right?"
The long-haired girl nodded, her purple eyes shining:
"But if I really encounter an emergency, I can use some abilities outside the rules at the cost of my soul being damaged again. Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, as long as you still love me, my soul will be damaged again."
Even serious problems can be repaired.”
She spoke words of love that were unique between the two of them, and her purple eyes reflected the look of a foreigner:
"Please don't let go of my hand, Shade, please don't let go of my hand."
(The owl is resting)
Probably because Shade did nothing before going to bed last night, Luvia suspected that her charm was not working in front of Shade. Therefore, in order to verify whether Shade had "changed his heart", early Thursday morning, the fortune teller
The young lady used an alternative method to wake him up, which made Shade think that he was still lingering with Rapunzel in his dream.
"They're all the same person anyway, so there's no difference."
Shade then proved to Luvia his enthusiasm for her and that he was in good health early in the morning. Because of this, when Luvia made breakfast that morning, Shade went downstairs to get newspapers, letters and
The goat milk was served later than usual, so I happened to see Iluna walking through the morning mist.
He then smiled and waved to Iluna, and the eighteen-year-old girl also quickened her pace. Only the cat stood on the shoe cabinet urging Shade to quickly bring the goat milk into the house.
Iluna's visit today was, of course, to go to the Vista Grove with Shade. For this purpose, she used her precious annual leave, but at least Iluna thought it was worth it.
"I thought there would be a lot of people at your house this morning."
When Iluna sat down at the dining table and waited for Luvia to make breakfast, Iluna looked around and said, while Luvia put on an apron and brought the omelette in front of her:
"Iluna, a lady shouldn't say such things. But I wish you a happy day in the Vista Grove today. You two can come back later. I will take little Mia to the Prophet's Association to take care of her."
"I need to remind you, we are not here to play."
Shade, who was warming goat milk for little Mia, said that preparing this "cat food" did not require any skills, only the ability to control flames. However, Luvia just smiled at Shade's words and said nothing.
Luna's face turned red as if her thoughts were exposed.
If Shade hadn't focused on the flames, he would have noticed at this moment that Iluna's autumn clothes were very suitable for an outing.
[Compliment Iluna Bayas’s clothes.]
"Iluna, the clothes are nice."
Shade said, and Iluna pursed her lips and smiled reservedly.
Luvia made breakfast for three people, and it was now the beginning of the month. While Shade was dealing with bills and other letters, he indeed received another letter from Miss Gold.
The woman who came to Tobesk at the beginning of last month said that she had returned to her hometown on the East Coast. In her letter, she also expressed her regret for not being able to meet the kind-hearted Detective Shade Hamilton, and informed Shade that,
She may come to Tobesk again around the end of this year, and maybe there will be a chance to meet.
"Do you think I can see Miss Gold during the New Year's Day? That will be two months from now."
Shade asked. Luvia and Iluna shook their heads and nodded. Shade didn't care and continued to read the letter.
Probably because Miss Gothe's main thing last month was to come to Tobesk, so in this letter she didn't talk too much about her hometown town, but only briefly explained the food in the town this autumn.
The harvest is not good.
In fact, there were not many people farming in the small town where Miss Gold's declining family was located. Shade remembered that she mentioned that there were rumors of meteorites falling on the abandoned farm in the town. Since then, the farm has been unable to grow normal food.
But fortunately, since last year, the town has continued to recruit people to explore ruins, coasts, farms, and sewers, so at least the town will still be very wealthy and "rich in martial virtue" after the plague. In other words, in addition to food and infrastructure
, they have almost everything.
Therefore, Shade is not worried about wintering there.
After breakfast, Shade did not leave for the Vista Grove immediately. Instead, he asked Iluna to wait at home while he quickly headed to the Church of the Dawn.
??????????.??????
Because it was too early, the church wasn't even open yet. However, the priests and nuns in the church knew him, so he still met Priest Augustus smoothly.
After Shade explained the matter of the "Dead Apostles", just like what Rapunzel said in his dream last night, Priest Augustus, who had always been good-tempered, actually cursed Delarion with a very dirty word:
"I can understand wanting to live longer, but some people dare to play tricks! Detective, come to me tomorrow and I will make a good thing for you. How can you sleep permanently? I will make you a weapon that can directly kill it.
!”
"So how strong are the Death Apostles transformed from humans?"
Shade then asked, and the priest gave a definite answer:
"Those kinds of things are completely immortal as long as they have enough vitality, so it's quite difficult to fight. But the most difficult thing about them is the absorption of vitality. The direct eating and absorption you described is the basic talent of cursed people like them.
But in fact, they can absorb life force from a distance, and they can absorb more than one target at a time. In fact, I even know that they can directly absorb the life force of an entire city."
"Does this make them stronger?"
"Yes, it is very, very powerful, but it will also qualitatively change their appearance and life form, so those Dead Apostles who are unwilling to leave the civilized world will not do so easily."
Shade thought for a while:
"Can the vitality of plants be absorbed?"
"Of course, plants are also life."
"That would be terrible. In theory, the best fighting venue is an uninhabited desert desert, but there is no such place in the Vista Woodland area."
"So tomorrow you come to me or I come to you, and I will prepare a secret weapon for you. Remember, detective, you must not be soft-hearted when dealing with such things. Don't worry about why they became Death Apostles. Find him, Subdue him and kill him, this is how you respect life."
The relic that Miss Danist borrowed from the academy was the [World Travel Manual] (Chapter 2191) that Shade had used. However, although she borrowed it, the conscientious and responsible librarian still did not allow Shade to use it. Get the relic to Tobesk.
Therefore, after leaving the Dawn Church, Shade went to the Vista Wood alone. After saying hello to the elf girl in the forest, he went to the city, where the two ladies in the city were already waiting.
After Shade put the six photos of his home into the album, a vertical blue bright line suddenly appeared in the air, and then the bright line split to the left and right until it formed a complete sky blue wooden door frame.
Iluna behind the door knocked twice politely, then opened the door and walked into Room 317 of the Accordion Hotel.
Miss Danist and Miss Winslet were both here at this time. The former had seen Iluna more than once before, but this was the first time she saw the Great Witch of Death. Her first impression of Iluna was, Although she and Daniste are both eighteen years old, one glance shows that Iluna Bayas is still very green and an immature girl.
Iluna nodded politely to the two young ladies. Behind the door behind her, Luvia waved to Shade with a smile, and then closed the door.
Because the witch had been observing Iluna, she did not notice that there was anyone behind the door. When the door closed, she realized that she had lost the good opportunity to observe the Shade family for the first time. Miss Danister closed the door. He picked up the [World Travel Handbook] and said to Shade:
"This relic cannot be used again this year. If you need it next time, you will have to borrow other relics."
"There shouldn't be any need for this kind of relic in a short time."
Shade introduced to Iluna again:
"Miss Daniste, you've met her before. This is Miss Flora Winslet, who is a council witch like Carina. This is Miss Charlotte Bell, and Tifa. They are all witch apprentices."
Iluna then greeted them in a ladylike manner, and Miss Danister and the others returned the greetings one by one. Shade then revealed today's plan:
"I'll take Iluna to the forest for a visit later. We don't know when we'll be back, but we will definitely have lunch in the forest."
He had no intention of sending Miss Daniste or Miss Owl with him, and they all guessed his intention.
Miss Winslet just reminded:
"I have found out about the wedding that York Brontë and William Anjou are going to attend tonight, and I have also obtained the invitation. I plan to go to the wedding banquet. Regarding the background investigation of this person, I have asked
People have done it, but they still have to try to get in touch.
Shade, are you going to go at night too?"
"Miss Denister, are you going?"
Shade asked instead, but the red-haired girl shook her head:
"Someone has to stay and look at the tree hole, and I don't really like to participate in this kind of activity."
