Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh cat search
Seeing Shade looking at her maid, Miss Carina put down her tea cup and said:
"However, if you have any other questions, I can tell you."
"Yes, Miss Carina, I do have some problems with my studies as a ring warlock. This is the case. In the past few months, I have been learning the spiritual runes of [Light] through "Crazy Light Chaser", but the progress is a bit slow.
, so I would like to ask for your opinion.”
To fight against the demons in the [Dark Realm], you need the [Light] Spirit Rune. Shade felt that he was just one step away, so he asked the witch for advice.
"[Light]? I'm not good at this, but Xiwei is very good at it."
Behind Miss Aurora's seat in the [Witch Council] is the rune representing "light". At the same time, the light magic she used when fighting Darkness in the Fishman Temple also left a mark on Shade.
Made a deep impression.
"I'll help you make arrangements so that you can meet Xiwei in the parliament before Thursday at the latest. I think she will be happy to help you."
Miss Carina said, then leaned lazily on the back of the sofa and looked at Shade:
"But what exactly do you want to do? It's not just about learning, right?"
There was a smile in her eyes:
"Although Tifa refused to talk about what happened to the ophthalmologist, when I went to find someone to confirm the doctor's condition, I took a look nearby. There seemed to be traces of demons there, and the demons in the [Dark Realm] are hidden.
Servants of the Servants, they happen to use the [Light] Spirit Rune to fight. Shade, what on earth are you going to do? Why are you suddenly interested in that place?"
She touched her chin and saw that Xia De wanted to speak, but stopped him:
"No, don't lie to me. It's better not to say anything than to get a lie. I won't force you to tell your secrets, but you must pay attention to your own safety."
She said softly:
"It is inevitable for ring magicians to take various adventures. I can understand this. But Shade, if you die, I will be very sad."
Shade didn't know what to say. He raised his head and looked at the black-haired maid standing behind Miss Carina. The latter shook her head and motioned for him not to say anything.
Temporarily shelving the investigation to find the blue-gray shorthair cat, Shade took the time to find Luvia and Iluna on Monday afternoon. The three of them met at Saint Teresa Square. Shade told them that Darkness had already
News appearing in the area around Tobesk.
Although they had long expected that he would come to this city at the end of the Flower Moon, when he actually arrived, the three of them suddenly became nervous.
Miss Carina wants to kill Darkness herself, but Luvia just wants to ensure that Darkness does not become the second chosen one, or that he dies after becoming the chosen one. Therefore, what happens next
Iluna, who will definitely be taught to join the team against Darkness, delivers information about Darkness.
Once the church fails to prevent Darkness from entering the [Dark Realm] and gives it the opportunity to perform the Chosen Ceremony of which the full details are not yet known, then Shade and the other three will personally enter the out-of-control angel-level relics.
Coverage, three people kill Darkness.
Shade still hopes that the church or the witch can succeed, which will save him a lot of trouble.
"Shadow, are you going to Queen Diana's birthday party on Wednesday?"
After talking about Darkness, Luvia asked, and Shade nodded:
"Do you want to participate too?"
"Yes, Marquis Emanus Grassley, Marquis Lacan Jacques, and Marquis Heinrich Ocken wanted to organize a Rhodes card game at the banquet, so they sent a letter to the Prophets Association, hoping that the association would send work
Personnel will be present to conduct Rhodes card identification, card issuance and other tasks.”
She smiled somewhat relaxedly and said:
"This is a good job. Although I can only attend the banquet because of work, you can't enter this kind of banquet casually. The association has been arguing for a long time about the quota. I'm lucky. My name is on the list. Xia De,
We can have a dance at the banquet then."
Iluna stood aside and said nothing. She was busy with work recently, and even if she had an invitation, she would definitely not have time to attend the royal banquet.
"Dancing? No problem"
Shade was smiling, but suddenly he thought of a new question:
"Dorothy will definitely attend the banquet, and Lecia gave her an invitation. There is a high probability that Priest August will also attend the banquet. As the most respected clergyman of Dawn Church in this diocese, there is no reason why Bishop Owen should not attend the banquet.
In this way, except for the doctor, all four members of the team will appear at the banquet on Wednesday night. I wonder if Dr. Schneider will also go."
Considering what happened the last time the five members of the group gathered at Lakeview Manor for a banquet, Shade frowned. Although it was impossible for another divine accident to happen to Tobesk, for the sake of safety, he still wanted to ask.
Let’s check the doctor’s schedule for Wednesday night.
Judging from the doctor's luck, if he really wanted to attend the banquet, then Shade would have to consider bringing all the relics and casting materials before going to the Yodel Palace for the banquet.
After discussing their recent actions with Luvia and Iluna, Shade took time to go to Coldwater Port again that evening and brought back all the doctor's materials that had been entrusted to the Seven Broomsticks Tavern.
With this reason, I wrote a letter to the doctor on Tuesday morning, stating that I would visit him in the afternoon with the materials, and then I took the lazy Mia out for a long time, preparing to look for the blue-gray short-haired kitten.
.
Shade thought it was not good for Mia to stay at home all the time. It would be better for her physical and mental health to occasionally walk around the city with him and breathe fresh air.
There is still mist in Tobesk today, and the weather is a bit bad. It seems to be raining. Therefore, even though it is already nine o'clock in the morning after I finish sending the letter, the sky is still dim.
The client, Mrs. Midela, lives in the west district of Tobesk, and the place where the cat was lost is near the Golden Wool Textile Factory.
The evening before yesterday, the old man went to the factory with his cat in his arms to do some work. On his way home a block away from the textile factory, he stopped and wanted to go to a copper shop to customize a brand new smoking pot. When he reached out and pushed open the door of the shop, the cat
He escaped from the embrace, got into the alley and was never seen again.
"Mia won't run away like this one day, right?"
As he boarded the carriage and prepared to set off, Shade suddenly thought of it. But when he looked down at the cat that was lazing because he had gone out, he thought that his worries were completely unnecessary.
So the carriage carried Shade across the Terrarel River that crossed the city, and dropped him off on the east side of the street with the "Minkwell Street" sign.
Shade took the cat into "Johnson's Copper Shop". He was first attracted by the exquisite copper engravings depicting the street scenes of Silver Cross Avenue hanging in the copper shop. Curious, he inquired about the price and spent 4 pounds 16 shillings.
He bought it for a price and asked the shopkeeper to send it to St. Teresa Square. Shade wanted to hang it on the corner of the stairs as a decoration.
Then, he asked the shop owner about the area where wild cats gathered nearby. Because Sha De spent a lot of money, the elderly shop owner enthusiastically pointed Sha De to the "Good Luck Bookstore" diagonally opposite the copper shop to inquire about it.
, the shopkeeper there likes to feed the cats in the nearby alley.
So Shade went to the bookstore again. The slightly chubby middle-aged female shopkeeper heard that Shade was helping people find cats, and immediately said that the old lady Midela had already searched all the nearby wild cat gathering spots the day before yesterday.
But Shade thought it was still necessary to go and have a look, and the female shopkeeper also enthusiastically told Shade three locations, which were the garbage at the end of the alley next door where the steam pipes were piled, and across the street from Minkwell Street.
station, and the grassy backyard of the shipping company at the end of the street that is being renovated.
Shade first looked at the rusted steam pipes according to the distance and distance. The diameter of these pipes was very large, enough for cats of any size to get through. They may have been originally intended to be the city's main steam pipes, but for some reason they were
Put it here.
After Shade walked around the garbage pile and approached the pipes, the Mia cat on his shoulder suddenly wrinkled his nose, and then let out a threatening and sharp cry. While frightening Shade, the three stray cats who were originally hiding in the pipes
He jumped out and ran away along the alley.
There are no blue-gray short-haired kittens among them.
"Mia!"
"Meow~"
Shade looked seriously at little Mia on his shoulder, who also looked at him with wide eyes.
"Don't scream, I'm at work. If you scare the target away, I will expand the search atmosphere to the entire city."
He regretted bringing Mia out. The cat probably hated Shade's approach to other cats.
Then we came to the shipping company. This was originally the office of a grain station. It was sold to the shipping company a few weeks ago and was therefore being renovated. The old man at the gate originally did not agree with Shade entering at will, but seeing that he neglected to put his wallet
The one shilling in it fell to the ground, so he was let in.
Sure enough, there was a group of stray cats in the grass in the backyard. Mia didn't bark this time, but when Shade rummaged through the grass to look for them, she was obviously a little unhappy.
But unfortunately, there is no missing cat here either.
Finally, we went to the garbage disposal station farthest from the place where the cat was lost. It covers a large area and is a public department set up by the city hall. Although it is a garbage disposal station, it is only responsible for recycling and classifying metal waste from nearby blocks.
Finally, some metal materials can be reused.
But this does not mean that people in this era have the idea of "sustainable development". Shade heard from Priest August that this is a new government department established by the civil servants in the city hall in order to expand the influence of the department.
It doesn't have much use other than consuming tax dollars.
Because it is a free time, the people who work here are very keen to feed the stray cats in nearby neighborhoods. In addition, the yard of the metal garbage disposal station is quite large, so it has become a gathering place for stray cats.
