[Seal of Heaton] is a very famous thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. Since that roll of parchment can be carried by a high-level warlock of the Church of the Sun, thaumaturgy is certainly not a simple thing.
Its naming method does not refer to the inventor. "Hiton" is a rune in ancient language, which has the meaning of "immovable", "solid" and "protection". Therefore, "Hiton Seal" is also called "Immovable Seal".
”.
The thaumaturgy of "Dharma Seal" mostly comes from the extraordinary power of the Fourth Age. The Fourth Age is an era of darkness and terror, with constant wars in the material world, man-eating alien creatures running rampant, and dark species enslaving people. "Dharma Seal"
Specifically, it means that when casting a spell, you need to use five fingers to make rune-like movements. It was later improved by the Fifth Age of Witch Era and integrated into the Ring Warlock system in the Sixth Age.
This kind of magic requires level 6 or above to learn. Casting does not require casting materials, but the caster needs to hold a sword as the casting medium, whether it is a physical sword like [Night Watch] or [Moonlight Great Sword].
Any spiritual weapon can be used.
Insert the sword into the ground with an inclination of no more than 30 degrees with one hand. With the other hand, make the seal gesture of touching the thumb and middle finger, bending the little finger, and crossing the ring finger and index finger.
After activating the spirit rune, a circular golden shield will appear around the body. The shield can resist almost any form of attack - of course fate attacks cannot be defended, and the strength of the "immovable seal" depends on the number of spirits. Even
, if the spell is released at the moment of being attacked, the broken metal shield will cause more powerful burst damage to the enemy.
Counterattack requires good timing, which requires repeated practice. The only disadvantage of this precious defensive thaumaturgy is that you cannot attack the enemy when casting the spell, and you must stand still. Wait until the opponent stops attacking before stopping the seal to counterattack, or
Use the right moment to break the shield and counterattack.
"But even so, this is a pretty good thaumaturgy and very useful to me."
Shade said to himself, looking down at the last learning requirement:
"[Sun], [Strength], [Shield], [Gold], these four spiritual runes are OK, but the requirement must be a miracle or enlightenment, not a whisper or blasphemy [Power]? Isn't it my low-level sublimation words?"
The last spiritual rune?"
Shade has already included [Headon's Seal] in his list of things to learn. His current thaumaturgy covers almost all aspects, but he lacks defensive thaumaturgy. This time it just makes up for his shortcomings, and he can improve it after entering the middle ring.
Further adjustments to the spellcasting system.
After sorting out his harvest, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Shade and the cat went to Miss Carina's manor in a carriage. The witch was still waiting for Shade's story.
There are some things that you can tell Luvia, but you can't tell Miss Carina. But at least this time, Shade admitted most of the things, at least letting Miss Carina know that he defeated Joey Barton in death.
Not Iluna, but him.
"Ha, I knew it must be you, otherwise you would have no reason to be there!"
Miss Carina was very happy to have her suspicion verified. She played with her red temples and listened to Shade's story about Wednesday night to Thursday morning. She also arranged afternoon tea and told Shade more details.
The aftermath of the Battle of Fort Midhill.
The problem of Hazama has basically been completely solved, and Iluna also brought news of the dead chosen ones, letting the church know that this quota belongs to the Spiritual Order. Therefore, the most critical issue after the Battle of Miburg is not
It is the identity of the thirteenth-ring warlock "God Caller" who is the next chosen one, and the reason why the two gods suddenly appeared, fought on Mount Sikal, and then suddenly left.
Of course, some of the vampires who participated in the god-summoning ceremony were captured by the church. But the problem is that most of them don't know why the gods appear in the form of saints, let alone why they suddenly leave.
Of course, although the arrival of the vampire god did not cause any damage at all except destroying some trees and rocks, the church still arrested those vampires on charges of "organizing illegal rituals" and "using prohibited items".
Awaiting them will be the punishment of the Inquisition.
Every divine descending event in the material world will be recorded in detail by scholars from the Zhengshen Church and the Academy of Thaumaturgy, and will be passed down as part of the history books. Shade is very curious about how this incident will be written. After all, in theory, except for him
As with Grace and Helen, no one knows the whole truth about this incident.
Even if he tells the truth, most people will probably not believe it unless he becomes a god and proves himself. The vampire god planned two eras, involving many gods and indirectly affecting many historical events. In the end, it was not to subvert justice.
The Church of God is not for the spread of faith, nor is it for the secrets of the ancient era, it is just for a glass of blood wine that cannot be obtained. No rational person will believe this kind of thing.
"It is said that the church is discussing whether to set last Wednesday as a special festival for Fort Midhill. Countless souls have left the boundary between life and death under the guidance of gods, which in itself is worth commemorating."
The witch said as she was enjoying her afternoon tea, bringing this matter to a successful conclusion.
As for the serious injuries of Helen and Grace, they were well concealed with the help of Granny Cassandra and Sister Devlin. The actions of the two small red butterflies that night did not attract too many people.
Except for the people at Cassandra Auction House, no one even knew of their existence.
"But isn't [Night Watcher] your sword? Why does the church think it is [Godcaller]'s sword?"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun still hadn't set even in late autumn. Shade and Miss Carina were sitting at a round table on the terrace on the third floor of the manor. There were teapots and snacks on the table.
Mia was sleeping soundly on Shad's lap. Shad was lamenting that the weather was getting colder when he suddenly heard the witch's question and immediately answered:
"Because it is difficult to explain who handed [Night Watch] to Iluna, so I asked her to think of me as the Godcaller."
"But according to the information I received, the 'God Caller' who appeared at the narrow church is indeed holding the [Night Watch]."
The witch asked again.
"Oh, that's because the church made a mistake. In the narrow room, they thought I was a God Summoner, and they thought I was deliberately suppressing my power, but in fact I am really just a three-ring warlock. As for the God Summoner."
Tifa poured new tea into Shade's teacup. Shade thanked her softly. The black-haired maid smiled at him. Smelling Tifa's perfume again, Shade recalled today's breakfast.
He was very restrained and kept his expression unchanged:
"I guess the God Caller has actually been on Mount Sikal in the real world since Wednesday evening, waiting for the blood-sucking Duke to descend."
People always avoid mentioning the name of God directly, so "the vampire duke" can refer to the blood god.
"That's right. It's indeed reasonable. But according to the church's description, your performance in the narrow room is really good. The power you exerted is at least that of a middle-level person who is about to be promoted."
The witch said again, seeing that she couldn't find any flaws in Shad, and Tifa stood next to Shad and handed him a napkin, so she said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, Tifa didn't come to see me immediately after she came back this morning. Instead, she went to change clothes. I think there might be something wrong with this."
"Miss, when I served Mr. Hamilton for breakfast this morning, I accidentally spilled breakfast on the skirt of my apron."
Tifa explained softly that of course she lied, she had sprinkled it in the wrong place, and it was only steaming eggs.
"Is that so?"
The witch's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, her eyes hovered over Tifa's chest, and she suddenly asked:
"Shadow, are you satisfied with your breakfast?"
"Um?"
Shade was immersed in memories of the early morning. Even though he could control his expression, his face immediately turned red:
"Satisfied, very satisfied."
Miss Carina smiled and shook her head:
"The young knight and the young maid loved each other, but due to the presence of the beautiful mistress, they could only provide simple comfort but could not vent the flames in their hearts. Even if they sat face to face with the mistress, they could only communicate with her with eyes.
The secretive maid has an unwanted communication, and at the same time she has to work hard to please her true lover, and she is passionate about the two ladies while being patient and suffering. Gee, this is the knight novel I just thought of.
The storyline is pretty good, right?”
What she was talking about was definitely not the plot of a novel, otherwise Shade would still be very interested in reading this book.
[How about calling it "The Legend of Detective Knight"? A foreigner who has the sin of "indulgent love"~]
"She" asked with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Dinner at the manor was around seven o'clock, and there was still a long time before dinner, but they did not talk about Fort Midhill anymore. Miss Carina suggested that since the weather was nice, they should go out for a walk. So she took Shad
He and his maids rode around the nearby farm, introducing Shade to the daily income sources of the manor outside the city.
Later, under the strong late autumn sunset, the red-haired witch proposed a horse race with Shade. The servants who followed, and even Tifa holding Mia, could not participate. Only Shade and her walked along the country road, and the little man
Girton Village all the way back to the main entrance of the manor.
The horse's hoofbeats were rapid, and there was no accident. Of course, Shade lost. Even if Miss Carina deliberately controlled the speed, the equestrian skills of the noble girl who had received equestrian training since childhood were not comparable to Shade's.
But when he rode hard after the witch, watching the sunset fill the country road, watching Miss Carina's figure running towards the sunset, the scene was as textured as an oil painting, which was probably enough to make this "
The "dead" autumn brings the most perfect ending.
There is a room specially reserved for Shade in the manor, and there is no shortage of clothes and daily necessities. Shade thought that nothing would happen tonight, but after dinner, he was chatting with Miss Carina in the study about dinner tonight.
When the last dessert, which was the taste of red sun berries shipped from Kasenlik, came from the door, there was a knock on the door.
Tifa went to open the door. The maid outside the door whispered to Tifa, and then Tifa returned to the sofa:
"Miss, Your Highness has arrived."
After saying that, he glanced at Shade. Shade thought Miss Carina had business to discuss, so he picked up the cat and was about to get up, but the Duchess asked him to sit down:
"Just let her come directly. The accompanying female officers will be accommodated on the first floor, and the personal servants can follow."
Tifa responded softly and walked out of the room. Shade asked in surprise:
"Who's coming? Is it okay for me to be seen here?"
"Shad, what nonsense are you talking about? Now half, no, four-fifths of Tobesk are rumoring that you are my lover. Could it be that if you appeared in my manor, would you really be interested in me?
Do the rumors have any impact?”
Miss Carina said with a smile, then stood up and changed from sitting across the coffee table from Shade to sitting on Shade's left side.
Mia, who was lying on Shade's right side, felt the sofa vibrate slightly. She straightened her little head and looked around, then continued to lie down.
It was very full after dinner, so it needed to lie down and rest for a while to digest the food before it could catch up with Shade's late night snack.
Shade wanted to ask who was coming, but the witch who was very close asked again:
"You have been running around Fort Midhill all night. I don't think there will be any gains, right? Let me see what new skills you have."
Seeing her request, Shade did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he raised his right hand, with the palm facing down, and the five fingers were slightly bent. As some red shadows swayed on the back of the hand, not long after, a red butterfly appeared on the
on the back of Shade's hand.
The butterfly swayed its wings slightly and stopped there very steadily. Shade shook his palm gently, and it flew close to the witch. After Miss Carina stretched out her right index finger, the red butterfly stopped on her finger, and the witch
He showed a smile that was even more beautiful than that butterfly:
"very nice."
The spell [Red Butterfly Illusion] is somewhat different from [Moon Shadow's Illusion] which was invalidated due to the awakening of Miss Fiona Drago. The latter comes from the power of the silver moon and focuses more on eliminating sounds and hiding the form at night, while [
Red Butterfly Illusion] can not only be used at any point in time, but also focuses on creating various wonderful illusions.
Even though they are both illusions, there are actually very few similarities between them.
Just as Shade was thinking about it, the door to the study room opened. But the first person who walked in was not Tifa, but the red-haired, menacing-looking princess.
Lecia Cavendish was wearing a complicated princess dress, as if she was attending some important official event. Her high heels made a dull sound on the carpet. When she entered the door, she was about to speak when she saw the couple on the sofa.
Shade and Miss Carina, who were sitting next to each other, of course also saw their intimate actions.
She took a deep breath, and for a moment, Shade thought she was holding the [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] in her hand, and they were all giant dragons on the sofa.
Fortunately, no dragon roar appeared at this time, because the Cavendish family is a pure-blood human family:
"Good evening, Shade."
The tone of this sentence is very gentle.
"Auntie, why did you call me here tonight? To let me see Shade appear in your manor so late?"
This sentence is to suppress the anger.
Shade noticed that Lesia used the title "aunt", but generally speaking, she used the title "Miss Carina".
"Of course not. Didn't you recently obtain the logistics management rights of the New World Pioneer Corps? Saladir County plans to purchase the specialty aromatic flowers from the New World as alternative spices for a long time, so I want to talk to you about business.
."
The red butterflies on the witch's fingertips dispersed, and she waved for Lesia to sit down:
"That's why I called you here. But it's already so late. I don't think you need to return to Yodel Palace tonight. You can just stay here tonight. Speaking of which, little Lecia, since I returned to Tobes this time
Keshi, you have never stayed at my place before.
Lesia calmly walked to the sofa and sat across from Shade. She first nodded to him with a smile, and then asked Miss Carina with a straight face:
"Since it is an important matter, why did you find me at this time? Isn't it good during the day?"
"In the morning, I made an appointment with a private tailor to discuss winter fashion. I want to order a few new dresses. I don't plan to go back to Sarah Deer County this winter. In the afternoon, Shade and I talked about some private things and horse riding skills.
I rode horses and had dinner with the knights, so I didn’t have time during the day.”
The witch said with a smile and motioned Tifa to pour tea for Lesia:
"Lecia, you are a big girl now. Why, you still don't want to spend the night at home? Oh, I am very safe here, and the bedroom is very comfortable."
"It's okay to spend the night here tonight."
Lesia looked at Shade again:
"Why is he here?"
"Lecia, have you forgotten the royal courtesy? This is my friend, please be polite. And I have already said that it is a private matter."
Judging from her expression, the duchess was really happy at this time, because she asked again:
"I heard that Shade is also your friend? I think you will be very happy to see him here, right?"
Shade is very worried that Lesia and Miss Carina will fight. Judging from the current situation, this is definitely not impossible.
"Oh, ladies, please listen to me."
So for the sake of Lesia's safety, as well as the safety of himself and Mia, Shade still spoke:
"Lecia, I came here to talk to Miss Carina about Fort Midhill. I was also there on Wednesday night."
Her Royal Highness the Princess's face changed, but she felt relieved when she saw that Shade didn't look injured:
"I knew you would definitely go to Fort Midhill again for some inexplicable reason."
"Besides, I will also spend the night here tonight. I will sleep in the guest room on the third floor. Don't worry, it's just me and Mia in the room."
Shade picked up the cat next to him. The water-like cat's body stretched as he was picked up. He squinted and saw a familiar human being, and said "meow~" to Lesia as a greeting.
"Since you have something to talk about, I will avoid it for now. However, if I have time in the evening, I would like to talk to you. I have something very important to say."
Shade said, then stood up.
Miss Carina said:
"But Lesia can't spend the night in your room. If my nephew knows that his daughter slept with his aunt's lover when he spent the night at his aunt's house, Diana will definitely not invite me to her next tea party.
"
But this sentence did not make Lesia angry. Her Royal Highness the Princess held up the tea cup in front of her with a reserved smile, and even did not forget to thank Tifa:
"If I want to spend the night in Shade's room, there's no point in waiting until now. Detective, what's glowing about you?"
"Um?"
Shade lowered his head to look and saw that something in the inner pocket of his coat was glowing. After unbuttoning it, he discovered that it was the page of the manuscript used to contact the college that was prompting information.
Unfolding it, a new roll of parchment was delivered. After reading the text above, Shade said with some surprise:
"Miss Danister asked me to use a ritual projection to the college library as soon as possible."
"Danister? That thirteen-ring warlock?"
Miss Carina was very surprised:
"You're in St. Byrons, aren't you just taking correspondence courses? You actually know the librarian of the college? Since it's a projection ceremony, Tifa, go help Shade prepare it, don't delay things."
Shade said goodbye to the two ladies, and then hurriedly followed Tifa out of the study.
Miss Carina looked at Shade's leaving figure and suddenly asked:
