The serious injuries suffered by the Burning Godhead should have kept Shade in bed for at least half a year before he could walk on the ground, but the thanksgiving gifts given by the departing souls completely healed the scars on his soul and body.
It's just mental fatigue that can't be solved by sleeping for a few hours. Coupled with the physical and mental burden brought by becoming a god, Shade fell into a deep sleep and didn't even know how he got back to the bedroom.
When he woke up dazedly in his bed, he stared at the familiar ceiling for a moment, and then realized that he must have missed feeding the cat more than once:
"It should be no problem. Luvia has a spare key and will definitely help me feed the cat."
The bed was so soft and the quilt was so warm. The confusion after waking up gradually faded away. Thinking that he was sleeping in his own house and even the ground under his feet was his own. That comfortable feeling made Xia even more excited.
De happy mood:
"I have been running around for two months, and the story of Fort Midhill is finally over. The chosen one to die is Sister Devlin, and Grace and Helen have also realized their wishes. Not to mention, I have done good deeds and let
Those souls that should have left long ago have left. This autumn is really meaningful."
In this happy mood, he touched the side, but did not touch his cat.
I held the bed and prepared to get up. Because I had been lying down for too long, my body even felt sore. But the original fire flowed in my body, and this small discomfort disappeared in an instant:
"It's a new day."
I waved my hand at the curtains through which sunlight seeped through the gaps. The curtains were pulled aside with a clattering sound, revealing the morning view of Tobesk, the prosperous "Pearl of the North" outside the window. The weather is good today. Although it is still foggy, the late autumn morning light is still there.
It's so bright. In the distance, you can see black smoke coming out of chimneys, the city's steam pipes and the metal decorations on the roofs, shining in the morning light:
"Sure enough, I prefer the city of Tobesk to the haunted city of Fort Midhill."
[Is that because Tobesk has your most valuable real estate? 】
"She" said with a smile, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Most of the ghosts in the narrow space of life and death have left, and the narrow space itself has been heavily sealed by the "Kiss of the Tree" and the "Scar of the Holy Tree". If we want to accumulate so many undead souls, it will take at least tens of thousands of years.
.But Fort Midhill cannot return to normal immediately. It may continue to be haunted for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the situation will not be particularly serious. It will just add some strange urban legends to the Old World.
"This can be regarded as a characteristic of the city. Let the church worry about those problems."
It was 8:32 in the morning on Friday. After falling asleep in the early hours of Thursday morning, Shade had slept for nearly thirty hours. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. Although he was still at Fort Midhill,
There are many things to deal with, such as meeting Sister Devlin, listening to the story of Priest Augustus, confirming Iluna's safety, retrieving the night watchman, attending Miss Aurora's banquet, and checking.
Grace and Helen's Health
But none of these things have to be done immediately. Shade wants to rest at home for a few days. At least, spend this weekend.
"Chasing the figure of the chosen one is getting more and more dangerous every time."
He sat on the bed and smiled out the window. But at least the harvest was good. In addition to the final confirmation of the identity of the third candidate, the most important thing was that it was one of the reasons why he chose to go up the mountain on Wednesday night——
Turning his head slightly, he looked at the red butterfly pendant placed on the bedside table. The two petals of the red butterfly were put together. The whispering element of the sage-level relic made Shade so happy for the first time:
"This pendant has always been carried by Grace and Helen. It has probably never been taken into custody. Dorothy and Lesia need to carefully study the conditions and characteristics of the holding. However, they are finally able to meet, although they cannot
Solve their problems completely, but at least they can meet each other."
Smiling and stretching, he then saw the Rhodes deck next to the Red Butterfly Pendant, and the smile on his face became even brighter:
"If the total points when this card is drawn exceeds 21, select one of the cards that has been used and exchange it with this card. The special effect of the selected card is invalid - [Origin·Death]. Really good,
It’s really good.”
Just as I was about to get out of bed, I heard footsteps outside the bedroom. Probably someone in the house heard the curtains, so they knew that the detective who was lying in bed had woken up.
Shade turned around and saw Tifa walking from the door holding a dinner plate.
Open half of the curtains and let the morning light pass through the window, shine on the quilt, and then shine on the door.
Her long black hair hangs down behind her, and she wears a lace-decorated headscarf on her head. The neckline is tied with a small dark blue bow with a satin ribbon, and underneath is a row of silver buttons. The complicated dress has a plain collar, and the outside of the dress is
A white apron with ruffles and a dark blue bow tied at the side waist. It is not very close-fitting, but whether it is the layers of fabric decoration on the chest or the skirt belt inside the apron at the waist, it can highlight her figure.
The figure. The dress almost covered her feet, but in the gap between the low-heeled black leather shoes and the hem of the skirt, she could still see that she was wearing a pair of white stockings.
Her black hair was tied behind her ears. Although her face was lightly made up, the makeup was still delicate. Her skin was as white as milk, her small nose was slightly tilted, and her brown-to-black eyes were shining in the morning light, with red and pinkish eyes.
There were clear lip lines on her lips, which made Shade guess whether she was wearing lipstick.
Tifa hesitated at the door, and little Mia, who was following her, rushed straight into the room. The maid lady also looked at Shade, who was sitting on the bed, facing the morning light. The young man looked at her with a smile, even though he had seen her many times.
, but she still almost couldn't hold the plate in her hand.
That smile moved Miss Servitt's heart.
[It seems I forgot to remind you.]
A voice came from Shade's ear:
【The gratitude of thousands of souls will make living beings more willing to get closer to you.】
"Shade, have you woken up? How do you feel now?"
Tifa walked in, and Mia the cat had jumped on the bed first, stepping on the quilt excitedly, wanting Shade to hold it. Shade noticed that the cat's tail still had the [Vampire Ring] on it.
"I feel pretty good now. Oh, this breakfast is really rich. Your cooking is very good."
Shade said, holding one hand against Mia who was about to launch a "charge":
"Where's Luvia? Is Miss Carina still there?"
He stretched his head towards the living room.
"Miss Anat has now gone to work for the Prophet Association. According to the schedule, she is probably at the Yodel Palace to talk to His Majesty about the tax issues in the past two years."
Tifa said softly, not pulling up a chair to sit down, but holding her hands together and standing by the bed. Facing the sun, a gentle smile appeared on her fair face. She was very happy that Shade could wake up smoothly:
"Miss was worried that you wouldn't have anything to eat after you woke up, so she left me here. I expected to wake up at noon, but I didn't expect to wake up so early."
Tifa handed the plate to Shade, who took it and placed it on the quilt on his lap. He usually wouldn't eat in bed, but since he planned to rest for a while, it would be good to relax occasionally.
I picked up the hard-boiled eggs and carefully peeled off the shells. As the shells peeled off, the tender and white interior was exposed, and even because it had just been cooked, it was still emitting an attractive white smoke.
Mia squatted aside and watched eagerly, but she knew there was no need to grab it, Shade would definitely give it to her.
"This tastes really good."
Shade praised again and then asked:
"Since I slept all day, is there any new news from Fort Midhill?"
"Yes, everything is over. Although many innocent people died that night, the city was not in turmoil. Two strange gods appeared at the foot of Mount Sikal. Although I don't know what the great ones are for, Mi
The battle of Fort Dehill was won by the living."
"That's great. As for those two gods"
Shade glanced at Mia:
"It is difficult for us to guess the intentions of the great ones, but perhaps the pursuits of the gods are not as complicated as mortals imagine."
Tifa's eyes curled up:
"Maybe that's true, but fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with us in Tobesk."
"And the Chosen One."
"The great witches of the Council are very happy. Sister Devlin and the Spiritual Cult have been friends of the Council for many years, and they have always maintained a pretty good relationship with the Council."
Having said this, Tifa couldn't help but smile and looked at the young man carefully peeling the eggs on the bed:
"Your Excellency the Speaker is very happy, and so is Miss. The third section is over, and the Parliament is finally no longer a mere pursuer, but has become one of the participants. All this is thanks to you."
"No, no, this has nothing to do with me."
Shade hurriedly denied it, but Tifa shook her head, then bent slightly in front of the bed, stretched out her finger and put it in front of Shade's mouth:
"You don't have to belittle yourself. Miss Aurora privately relayed to her what Sister Devlin said. Thanks to your help, Iluna Bayas was able to defeat Joey Barton. Joey Barton himself said the same.
of."
Shade did not deny it again, and Tifa also retracted her finger.
Shade continued to stare at the egg in his hand, hoping that he could peel it flawlessly. He inhaled slightly, and in addition to the smell of eggs and breakfast, he could also smell Tifa's perfume.
"When the young lady and Miss Anat opened the door of death for you, the three of us all obtained new spiritual runes, all of which were the purest [death]. The young lady was happy about this, she was trapped in
It has been a long time since she reached the eleventh ring, and this harvest means that she still has the possibility to go further."
Tifa continued.
Shade nodded:
"What about you? How far are you to the next link?"
"It should be soon. Thank you for your help."
The black-haired maid said softly.
"Where did I help you? You helped me, otherwise I would still be waiting for the door to open in the middle of death. Maybe I would play Rhodes with my friends in death, otherwise just waiting would be really boring.
."
Shade smiled and joked, and Tifa also pursed her lips and smiled, which made the dimples on her face more obvious.
Then, the maid girl shook her hair slightly, turned to look outside the door, as if she wanted to confirm that there was no third person in the house, and then turned to look at Shade again. The corners of her mouth were raised, and her eyes seemed to be shining:
"Perhaps both the lady and I should thank you."
On the bed, Shade had already peeled the round and soft egg, and was proudly admiring its round and flawless appearance in the morning light. The cat looked up at the egg in the morning light, and eagerly tried to prepare to take off:
"You don't have to thank me. But next time, I won't do such a dangerous thing again. You can't imagine what the fighting was like on Wednesday night in Middleburg. I saw more undead that night than I have seen all year."
There are more living people than there are.”
Tifa pursed her lips and asked softly:
"So, do you need me to help you relax?"
"Huh? What?"
Shade looked away from the egg and looked up in surprise at the black-haired girl beside the bed. The latter, with a blush on her face, leaned over and snatched the perfectly peeled egg without consulting Shade.
, put it on the dinner plate, then picked up the dinner plate and put it on the bedside table.
"Um"
Shade didn't know what the maid wanted to do.
Tifa put her hands behind her back and looked at him with a smile, her fingers behind her back slightly bent. With a bang, the bedroom door closed; with a crash, the curtains closed again, leaving only a trace of light on the bed and Tifa.
on the midline of the body.
Her face was slightly red, and she looked condescendingly at Shade on the bed, and then stretched her hands to the buttons under the collar. The buttons reflected the morning light coming in through the gaps in the curtains. She peeled off the first three buttons, revealing her white neck.
The skin can even reflect light.
Suddenly he stopped and turned around to pick up the hot egg. He turned to Shade again, his fair face getting closer and closer. His rosy cheeks had shallow dimples, and his black eyes had a shy and wumei look.
The eggs are placed into the unbuttoned collar.
"Shadow."
His voice trembled slightly because of the heat.
The slender fingers continued to unbutton the fourth button in front of Shade's eyes:
"Do you need me to serve you a meal?"
The voice was very soft, and white light penetrated the midline of her face. In the morning light, her nose looked very nice, but her big eyes were even more beautiful.
"I"
"I will not cross that line until the lady allows me to do something, but I am not just a subordinate of the lady."
She slowly approached Shade until Shade could even see her own reflection in Tifa's beautiful eyes:
"Knight, I am the Duke's servant. I was sent to temporarily serve you because of your bravery. Although I envy your strength and bravery, I am not a maid who has an affair with a guest. I have to go to the Duke later, and I don't want to
The master suspected that we were doing something bad, so the meal time was only ten minutes."
Tifa said very serious words, but with a smile in her tone. She stood by the bed and reached out to hug Shade's head:
"Be careful, these eggs are very hot."
"I"
Shade didn't quite understand why this happened suddenly, and he suspected that he still hadn't woken up.
【This is reality.】
Mia screamed dissatisfied and didn't know why she stopped eating.
