"Oh~ I have only heard of this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes!"
The maid sighed softly, and Shade's face was full of smiles:
"It's better than I thought. The original ability to observe blood is still maintained and is clearer. But more importantly, the attribute of [Reverberation] has been enhanced. For living people, I can now use the blood of a certain individual to
Or a blood-like component can be dripped into the eyes or injected into the body, allowing the eyes to see the opponent's movement trajectory within a certain period of time."
He stood up holding the cat:
"Tifa, you just dropped blood into my eyes. Then in about an hour, while I activate the thaumaturgy, as long as I come to the location where you have been in 24 hours, then my eyes will be
You can see your bloody shadow, those haloed shadows, which will describe your coherent movements and actions in space. This is not only the echo of blood, but also the echo of time and space."
The maid thought for a while:
"Blood, time, and space. Although thaumaturgy has no offensive power, its effects are really useful. So what about corpses?"
"The corpse does not need to be intact. I just need to drip the blood of the corpse into the eyes or inject it into the blood vessels. I can see the bloody halo formed by all his movements one hour before death and one hour after death. Yes, with the combination
My psychic ability [Soul Echo], no dead person can keep it a secret from me now. Of course, I have to find the place of death."
Shade nodded and controlled his smile:
"Not only that, I roughly understand how to obtain this thaumaturgy by normal means. I am definitely the first ring magician to possess this thaumaturgy. First, I need the spell [Echo of Blood], and then I have time, space and blood.
power, and have come into contact with at least one god related to it. Without the red potion I used, a ceremony related to the restoration of eyesight would need to be held, but I have to think about the details of the ceremony myself, and my ritual knowledge is not
No, maybe I should change the name of Thaumaturgy, how about [Shadow's Echo of Blood]?"
Shade joked that although it was simple, it was quite difficult to obtain this thaumaturgy. It only required that he had had a major involvement with a god with the power of blood, time, and space, but this was almost impossible.
And such a difficult-to-obtain thaumaturgy itself is also rich and powerful in its effects.
"You do have the naming rights. Congratulations, Mr. Hamilton."
Tifa said with a smile.
"Just call me Shade from now on."
Shade waved his hand and saw that he had used half of the red potion, and now only a quarter was left in the bottle:
"The rest of the potion belongs to you."
"How does this work? You can evolve thaumaturgy and incantation at no cost. Although the type of ability is limited, the remaining liquid is still worth it."
She shook her head and wanted to refuse.
"I plan to keep the ring relic myself, but you also contributed to defeating the demon and obtaining these things."
Shade picked up the dishonest cat:
"How about just treating it as a souvenir of being a detective assistant today? I think Miss Carina doesn't often give you vacations so that you can do your own things. I hope that our one-day operation in Tobesk today can leave you with
Make memories worth remembering. Just take these potions, they are all for nothing to me anyway."
Tifa hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and whispered her thanks, then stuffed the small bottle into the pocket of her skirt.
She brushed the hair beside her ear and said softly to Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton"
"Um?"
The maid smiled and shook her head slightly:
"I made a mistake."
She said again:
"Xia De, today's memories are indeed a lifetime treasure for me."
The breeze blew into the living room on the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa Square from the window. Shade looked at the maid next to him in the wind. Today was another ordinary day for him.
(Iluna is praying)
"Are you going a little too fast?"
Early on Thursday morning, a carriage passed by outside the window, and the morning light shone into the room on the second floor of Silver Cross Avenue. Luvia squinted at the black iron ring that Shade put on the table, and it took her a long time to ask:
"You only asked me to divine this relic on Monday morning, and you got it on Wednesday afternoon."
She touched the slightly cold ring. Because she already knew the characteristics of the relic, the voice in her ear immediately reminded her of what it was:
"Moreover, this is not a coincidence, but because you delayed the commission for nearly two months. Is the Detective Sparrow Hamilton really just an ordinary person? How can I leave it to you?
Do all the commissions have such serious problems?"
"No, no, first of all, Detective Sparrow is not an ordinary person. He may have the identity of Carson Rick, but that is not important. Secondly, not every commission has problems. Three commissions have been solved. Although
Mistress stalking and the eye doctor caused some trouble, but look, isn't Mia okay?"
Shade poked the cat lying on the table. The cat stood up and looked at him, then lay down again.
"Furthermore, although Miss Mia Gold complained about the decline of her family in her letter, she is still living a good life."
Shade emphasized.
"When I have time, I will go to the grave of Mr. Sparrow Hamilton and divine his affairs."
Luvia said helplessly, but she was not sure whether this coincidence was because of one of the two detectives or because of the house. Judging from the current situation, even if Detective Sparrow did not encounter an accident, he would
It will definitely die for other commissions as well.
"Didn't I translate that roll of parchment? This is a [relic] of the demon hunters of the Third Age accidentally discovered by the Ring Warlock hundreds of years ago. Due to the implication of fate, the seal will appear in those who can fight against the devil.
In human hands, this is one of the characteristics of the seal, which conveys the belief that the brave men of ancient times are true heroes."
"I know, I know. You plan to find that sword when you have time, and you gave that bottle of potion to the beautiful maid with big breasts."
She used a very rude expression. Shade was unwilling to discuss women's figures, so he took the initiative to change the topic:
"I got the [Demon Hunting Seal], I also got the [Weak Angel Potion], and I also encountered the Secret Servant. The question now is, what if the location where we fight against Darkness is not in the city, but outside the city?"
How can we fight against those weird hidden servants inside the angel-level relic [Dark Realm]? A single one is relatively easy to deal with, but there are more than just one inside the relic."
Luvia told Shade not to be nervous. While Shade was hanging out in Tobesk, she found more information:
"Killing demons requires a specific method. The church has mastered this method. Our president went to help deal with this matter some time ago, so the association also has information. To put it simply, within the dark realm, those evil spirits that will spread darkness
Demons, fear the light."
"But my flash spell didn't work."
"You actually think that the flash spell is really useless. Specifically, their nemesis is [light] and the derived spirit runes of the up and down concept."
Having said this, Luvia raised her neck confidently:
"And by coincidence, Iluna and I both have corresponding spiritual runes."
"So, I am the only one who cannot kill those secret servants."
Shade nodded, already having an idea in his mind:
"So how do you kill the demon in Darkness? What spiritual rune is its nemesis?"
"Why are we killing it? What we want to deal with is Ivan Darkness. And the other party has not been dealt with for thousands of years. Your twelve-ring friends in Coldwater Port even have the ability to kill Darkness.
We don’t dare, because we are worried that the demon will be released, so there is a high probability that we will not be able to kill it.”
Luvia said.
"Then when we kill Darkness, doesn't it mean that we let go of the human pus demon?"
Shade was very worried.
"Even if we can't kill the devil, the church will take action. Moreover, even if the church is a step late this time, we can still seal it. Shade, that box you kept."
After Luvia reminded him, Shade thought of the [God's Gift Box]. That box can seal divinity and contain out-of-control relics. There is no reason why it cannot seal demons.
Although this will prevent Shade from getting a gift every week, considering the uncertainty of those gifts, it seems that the loss is not great.
"That'll be all right. Kill Darkness and seal the devil."
Shade took out his notebook and wrote and drew:
"In the difficulty of fighting Darkness, his six-ring warlock's power is suppressed by Iluna's [Balance] talent; the palm demon's power is countered by seals and potions; the dark talent is still countered by [Balance]; even if
He has turned into a state where half of his body is wrapped in black pus, and I can also use my moonlight to expel the corrosive influence of absorbing negative emotions."
He raised his head and thought for a moment:
"It seems like Darkness has been completely defeated."
He also laughed, of course he knew this was impossible.
"This kind of prepared battle, especially a prepared battle where we know the opponent's intelligence, will of course be simpler, just like how we dealt with the 'Silver Eyed Man'."
Although Luvia's face was serious, she didn't seem worried that the three of them would fail:
"Once Darkness is found in the city, we will take action immediately. We cannot delay, we must kill him as soon as possible."
"You're right, but if we really can't fight, there's nothing wrong with letting the church take over the fight."
Shade reminded that the Zhengshen Church's attitude towards the second chosen one is also based on "killing". [Darkness] talent is nothing, but he should not control the weird existence left over from the Third Age.
The church has zero tolerance for intelligent eccentrics left over from past eras.
After bidding farewell to Luvia, Shade wanted to take advantage of the time to complete the last commission, which was to help Miss White find her missing sister. But when Shade visited the seemingly "missing" girl, he was actually just
When I went to the apartment of Ms. Black who had run away from home, I unexpectedly learned that the woman had gone to the countryside of Tobesk for vacation and would not be back for at least half a month.
"That's good, it avoids another accident. Really, Detective Sparrow, why do you always accept such weird commissions?"
So Shade could only put the commission on hold again and wait patiently for Darkness to appear.
There was no news on Thursday. Shade spent the day reading at home and had no income. In the evening, he went to the university district to walk the cat and met Iluna who was on a mission. Shade waved to her across the street, but because Iluna was surrounded by teammates,
, so the two did not talk. In the evening, Shade summarized the specific information of [Shadow's Echo of Blood].
There was no news on Friday. Shade spent the day reading at home with no income. The ritual of trying to enhance [time perception] failed again.
In the evening, I visited Priest Augustus at Dawn Church, and was dragged by the priest to participate in the church's night prayers. After having a sumptuous supper with the cat, I discussed some political topics with Bishop Owen.
The bishop seemed to intend to use Shade to inquire about the follow-up actions of the Kingdom's New World Expedition Corps after Prince Sachs was arrested.
There was still no news on Saturday. Shade read at home for a long time and had no income. In the afternoon, he attended Dr. Schneider's study meeting. At the study meeting, Shade submitted the information on the evolved thaumaturgy [Shadow's Blood Echo] to the library.
.
After comparing the information, the college library accepted the name "Shadow's Echo of Blood".
He originally thought that the college would only give him a few coins to reward him. Unexpectedly, this time, the college actually gave him a generous reward of 100 pounds. He originally thought that there would be no income this week, but unexpectedly he earned an ordinary amount.
Working-class families may not have enough income for three years.
"When did the academy become so generous?"
Shade took the money and wondered if this was a dream.
"This shows that the Academy considers the thaumatological information you provided to be useful."
The doctor explained, looking at the notice in his hand troubledly.
Summer practice has been canceled, and a winter off-campus practice has been added this academic year. The college seems to believe that Tobesk is still unsafe, but in Shade's opinion, it is St. Byrons who also realizes where Darkness is.
After the study meeting, it was originally customary to have dinner with Dorothy and then start the evening classes. Unexpectedly, as soon as she boarded the carriage from the intersection, the blonde girl said in a low voice:
"Shad, tonight's classes are cancelled. Lesia will find time to leave Yodel Palace to see you in the evening."
