The light of dawn was already shining on the courtyard of Russell Manor. In front of the smoking bonfire, the old witch glanced at Shade again:
"Very good. Young man, please rest assured that I am a very open-minded person. I will not talk nonsense about you and Carina."
She winked at Shade.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but from the corner of his eye, Shade seemed to see Sister Devlin, who had always been expressionless, with a smile on her lips. But if she looked carefully, there was still no expression on her fair face under the silver crown-shaped eye mask.
expression.
After the excitement, fatigue had already welled up in Shade's heart. He continued to fight evil spirits all night, broke into the land of death, used mythical locks, and even participated in the evil god's drinking party. Even the physical fatigue was still bearable.
, but the mental fatigue is beyond control.
Now that I have finished telling my story, I can only say goodbye to the Witch and Sister Devlin, and agree on the time for my next visit. After making sure that no one is following me, I climbed up the Sikal Mountain from the foot of the mountain and found the forest.
He returned to his home from the abandoned tower.
"Oh, Shade!"
Just after returning to the first floor from the basement, someone opened the door of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square with a key from outside.
It was Luvia. She was holding a metal lunch box and looked at Shade walking out of the basement in shock.
At this time, footsteps were heard upstairs, but Luvia still closed the door without any scruples, put the lunch box on the shoe cabinet, and then opened her arms to hug him.
"Shad!"
Dorothy and little Mia walked down the stairs together. Luvia suddenly let go of Shade, then pushed him away, and went to get the lunch box again with a slightly red face. Therefore, the blond writer lady did not see the two
The scene of people hugging each other.
"The priest is safe."
Shade said to the two of them, yawned and felt like he could hardly open his eyes.
He bent down and picked up his cat. Little Mia moved back and forth in Shade's arms, not caring how dirty he was.
"Very good."
Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to hug Shad, but due to Luvia, she couldn't do so:
"Last night went well?"
"well enough."
He did not say that he had died once, for fear of causing panic to the two girls.
"Dr. Schneider went back last night, but he will probably come back soon. We stayed at your place last night. I just went out to buy breakfast, so we can eat together."
Luvia said, motioning to go upstairs to talk.
Both ladies can cook, but there are no good ingredients in the Shade family's kitchen where mice can almost starve to death, and they are not in the mood to cook, so Luvia runs out to buy breakfast.
"Speaking of which, I'm really hungry and very sleepy."
As he spoke, Shade yawned again. As if his yawn was contagious, the cat he was holding also opened his mouth wide and yawned.
"No problem, but let's have breakfast first and then go to bed. We'll tell the doctor the good news later."
Luvia, who was walking at the front, shook the lunch box in her hand, with a smile on her face.
The blond writer lady walked behind to confirm that Shade had returned safely. She also smiled and said:
"Your milk and Mia's goat milk have also been heated. Really, Shade, your family is so big, can't you store more food?"
Perhaps death had finally affected him, so he omitted the story behind the door. After telling the girls about last night's experience at the dinner table, he ate breakfast at around seven o'clock on Sunday morning and climbed into bed. Shade slept through the second night.
It was eight o'clock on Monday morning. When he opened his eyes again, the dawn outside the bedroom was still in Tobesk, which made him doubt whether he had fallen asleep after all.
"I actually slept for twenty-four hours?"
【Yes.】
After waking up, I felt my chest felt tight again, so I reached out to fish it out, and sure enough I found the cat huddled up on the quilt. When Shade woke up, the cat looked at him in surprise, and then suddenly tried to rub it with its face.
Shade's face.
It probably thought that Shade, who had slept all day, was dead.
Wearing slippers and holding the cat, she walked out of the bedroom, but as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw Tifa standing next to the sofa. Two unknown maids were busy making tea in the kitchen. Miss Carina was sitting on the sofa holding a book.
Book.
Hearing the voice, the red-haired duchess took the book away and tilted her head to look at the door where she was lying on her side. The autumn morning light shone on the witch's almost flawless face, and her golden eyes really shone in the afterglow of the morning glow.
Light.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
The lazy red-haired witch asked, putting the book aside:
"I've been waiting for you all morning. How did you sleep?"
"very nice."
After returning to his senses, Shade smiled and said, his eyes sizing up the figure of the witch in the morning light. Miss Carina also noticed Shade's eyes, and said with a nonchalant smile:
"I have nothing else to do today. Let's have breakfast together later. I'm still waiting for your story."
She motioned for Shade to sit down and talk, and Shade also noticed the letters left by Dorothy and Luvia. They also had their own things to do, so not long after Shade fell asleep, they left after confirming that he was safe.
They came again last night and found that Shade was still sleeping, so they did not wake him up. Instead, they made dinner for Mia. They left a letter and asked him to tell him when he woke up before leaving again.
As for how Miss Carina opened the door on the first floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square this morning, it was because Shade specially gave Tifa a spare key in order to allow the maid who came to clean the house every week to enter.
"You don't have to worry about Granny Cassandra's affairs. After she heard about you, she was even a little too friendly to you. You are very good at pleasing the witches."
The last half of the sentence was whispered, which made Tifa smile. Seeing Shade looking at her, the black-haired maid girl winked at him.
"Grandma Cassandra has already told me about your experience at Fort Midhill. You are really brave."
The witch looked at Shade, staring at him with her golden eyes, but did not blame him for taking too many risks:
"You were lucky this time, but you can't always be so lucky, reckless knight."
"I have always believed that the difference between recklessness and bravery lies only in the result, not in what the decision is based on."
Shade hugged the cat and said his opinion:
"Anyway, I succeeded."
"But Fort Midhill is in chaos."
The witch said lightly, brushing some hair from her ear and tucking it behind her ear.
"It has nothing to do with me this time."
Shade immediately shook his head, wanting to clear the air, but at the same time he felt that his sofa was so intimate.
"The special local aurora phenomenon before dawn on Sunday may have nothing to do with you. Now I am mainly suspicious of the Godcaller of Tobesk who ran out of nowhere and the mermaid nemesis of Coldwater Port."
These two titles should refer to the same person. As she spoke, she glanced at Shade:
"But because of the disappearance of your team members, you asked St. Byrons for help, and then St. Byrons sent a letter to inquire about the Dawn Church, which then led the college to discover that the Five Gods Church was in Fort Midhill and Sikal
Small moves in the mountains.”
The maid brought a saucer with some appetizing snacks on it. Tifa bent down and placed the plate on the table. Shade and Miss Carina both glanced at her figure. Shade let go of the cat, but remained reserved.
Little Mia will not touch the things on the plate by herself, she is waiting for Shade to bring it to her.
"so."
The hand that wasn't touching the cat tapped on the sofa.
"So the academy has discovered something extraordinary, no, it does not refer to the [Chasm of Life and Death]. The academy has also heard about this relic, but it really has nothing to do with the three major thaumaturgy academies. The academy has discovered that the church
The "" in hand points to the third chosen one, who will eventually hold a ceremony in the city of Fort Midhill."
"" was written on different objects by the last thirteen Witch Emperors, so what people in the Sixth Age can see are fragments. Regarding the second chosen one, what people know is that he will be in Coldwater Port
Experience the adventure, and the information about the third chosen person is the place where the final ceremony will be held.
"Death's Chosen One?"
Shade frowned slightly, and then expressed his judgment:
"Since it is such a special place in Fort Midhill, I don't think it has anything to do with death."
"Most people think so too, including the Parliament. This time it's a matter about Fort Midhill, so I can finally have some leisure time - this matter is in charge of Granny Xina Kassandra of the twelfth seat.
"
The witch glanced at Shade and couldn't help but smile:
"However, wherever you go, the chosen one will appear. How about telling me your destination in advance before you plan to take a long journey next time?"
"I guess it's just a coincidence."
"You will definitely run to Fort Midhill recently, and I won't stop you. But you must remember not to go to the [Narrows of Life and Death] again. After seeing Granny Cassandra last night, I met her again.
When I got to the Speaker, she warned me not to try to touch the secrets of Fort Midhill easily, as it was more dangerous than imagined."
The "speaker" is the strongest witch in the contemporary era. As a thirteen-ring warlock, her witch level should be at the twelfth level at the lowest. As for how strong the witches of the twelfth or even thirteenth level are, Shade has changed from the original one.
We've seen it with Miss Olan Nord, the librarian, and the founder of the college.
