"Playing cards all day? Oh, absolutely not, Lesia, how could you think I am this kind of person?"
Shade shook his head quickly, but was unwilling to explain the matter of the Chosen One, the Witch, the Blood Spirit School and the report letter. He promised to keep these things secret.
"However, I just met Ms. Sivi Avora's carriage, and I recognized the family crest."
He said again.
"Oh, do you still recognize this?"
Lesia asked with a smile, and then introduced Shade:
"It's okay to call her Madam in private, but in public, she should be called Lady Aurora. Sivi Avora inherited the title of Viscount of the Aurora family, and it was not only the title of Delarion, because of business
The reason is, she still has the title of Kasenrik."
"Viscount? That's amazing."
Shade actually didn't care about this. He didn't want to have anything to do with the witch at all. He shook his head and ended the topic:
"Lecia, I'm here to say goodbye. I have some things to do when I get back, so I'll leave first and come back to you tomorrow morning. Just be careful. If you need me for anything, you can contact me through Dorothy."
He paused, thought for a while and then said:
"There have been a lot of strange people coming to the city recently. If it is not necessary, you can go into the city as little as possible."
"Xia De, I am the fifth ring, and you are only the second ring. I think I should be the one to care about you."
The princess said softly, and Shade nodded and thought it made sense. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Lesia. The red-haired girl walked towards the study with Shade and said in a low voice:
"I went to the city today and heard the news. About tonight, the city hall will issue a tsunami warning throughout the city, and the newspapers will publish the news that red sea water has appeared on the sea surface in the past two days due to water pollution. I have contacted the college to explain that I
Due to the curse on my body, the academy believes that my earrings can completely protect me from the effects of 'Return by Sea', so it has not provided any additional help for the time being."
"Does the Zalas Literary Academy understand this ritual?"
Shade frowned.
"It's similar to what the church knows. Through sacrifices, the power of the evil god in the deep sea is summoned to flood the cold water port with a tsunami."
"The power of the evil god"
Shade nodded and continued to walk forward with Lesia. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about something that the girl around him would never guess:
"Is that possible? Is it possible?"
【Outlander, you seem to have made a bold guess.】
"But there is indeed such a possibility, so no matter what, I will participate in the sea return ceremony."
It was five o'clock in the evening when I returned home all wet. I took a shower for the first time today, and finally felt temporarily relaxed.
"Shade, what are you doing running around today?"
Dorothy was also curious about Shade's itinerary, but in order to avoid being misunderstood and playing Rhodes cards for another day, Shade could only deduce that he encountered some trouble in Coldwater Port:
"Let's go have dinner as soon as possible. Oh, I also need to send a letter. I'll be back at six o'clock in the evening for class."
He was holding the cat and counting the time, as if there was a pocket watch hidden under the cat's butt.
"You are always so busy, and I don't know where you find so many things to do."
The blonde girl muttered, a little dissatisfied with Shade's tight schedule. She originally wanted to talk to Shade about more things about [Tree Kiss].
After going out together for dinner, Dorothy went back.
Shade was in a hurry to go home, but he didn't forget to go to a photo studio in the city and ask about taking photos of cats. He thought that a professional photo studio required an appointment, but he didn't expect that as long as he paid for it, he could take photos immediately.
But you have to wait half a week.
It didn't matter. Shade wrote down the matter of taking the photo in his diary, then held the cat and held up the newspaper to take the photo.
The moment the old-fashioned spotlight flashed, if Shade hadn't hugged the orange cat tightly, it would have almost jumped out.
But when the cat realized that it was just a flash of light, it became bolder. Shade was worried that one picture was not enough, so he took a few more pictures of Ms. Mia Gold. When the spotlight flashed again later, the orange cat just said
I called in that direction a few times, but when I saw that there was really no response from the other party, I immediately lost interest.
"Meow~"
It opened its mouth wide and yawned, showing its fangs and tongue.
The last time Shade heard that this cat liked to run to Room 2 on the second floor when he was not at home, so he closed the door. The orange cat spent the whole afternoon digging at the door until Shade was about to go home.
Dorothy opened it only when the time came, so Mia's nap time was delayed.
The time came to 5:55 this evening, and the setting sun outside the window had not completely disappeared. The pigeons on Saint Teresa Square were enjoying the coolness of the summer evening with the vendors setting up stalls. I didn’t know that the window at No. 6
There was a cat staring at them eagerly.
In the living room of Room 1 on the second floor, Shade picked up the cat on the window sill and closed the curtains. Then he adjusted the light of the gas lamp in the living room to the brightest, and placed four chairs on the open space with a water basin in the center.
Three of the chairs were placed with puppets tied with human bones, and he sat in the northernmost position.
Unlike calling guests from afar to be projected into St. Teresa's Square, this time it was Shade who was projected into St. Byrons. Therefore, the ritual steps were a little different from the past. He did not actively throw the parchment into the basin, but put some bone powder into it.
Mix into a basin of water, stir clockwise for three weeks, and then drip in blood.
After immersing the parchment in the blood water and immersing the parchment corresponding to this parchment in the water basin in the distance, the water basin in Shade finally burned with icy blue flames.
This ritual, classified as a necromantic ritual, has basically been completed at this point. The curious cat lay on the sofa and looked at Shade. In order to prevent himself from being disturbed during class, Shade not only left the [Rebirth Ring]
He played with it and prepared some cat food for him as a midnight snack.
After confirming that the cat was having a great time, Xia De straightened his clothes and sat down on the chair. He closed his eyes and counted three numbers silently. When he opened his eyes, the deputy dean of history, Hessen, had already appeared in front of him.
The smiling face of Professor G. Garcia.
The professor with somewhat pointed ears welcomed Shade with a smile, and when Shade looked down at his hands, he saw that his body had become translucent.
This state was very strange. He could feel the temperature in his living room and even hear the occasional meowing of a cat, but what he saw in front of him was the scene of the academy on the edge of the far north ice cap.
Looking around again, the room is surrounded by gray decorative walls. On the wall are brass-colored gas lamps, shaped like the school emblem of St. Byrons. The lampshades of the gas lamps should be cleaned frequently, so they are very bright.
It lit up this classroom, which was about the same size as the entire second floor of Shade's house.
The quaint classroom is paved with gray square floor tiles and lined with rows of long tables painted with brown paint. This is a typical ladder classroom, with the podium at the lowest position, followed by tables and seats upwards.
Although the area is large, except for Sha De, there are only five students attending the class. Three men and two women, two of whom are about the same age as Sha De, and one is a slightly mature woman in her thirties.
, the last two are middle-aged men in their forties.
Three of the five people sat on chairs in the other three directions to maintain the projection ceremony. They all showed polite smiles to Shade. After all, paying for elective courses and being invited to take classes by professors are completely different treatments.
