When Yin Luna and the ten-ring warlock Miss Green of the Church of the Sun, the thirteen-ring warlock "Sunshine Sword" Mr. Hogg Rendell of the Sun Church, the eleven-ring warlock Mr. Modelo of the Peace Church, and the twelve-ring warlock of the Dawn Church When Mr. Franz Joseph, the ring magician, arrived at Saint Teresa Square, half an hour had passed since the four doctors and doctors Schneider left.
It was already very late at night, and the mist drifted in the city, causing the gas street lamps surrounding the square to emit a strange halo. The starry sky and the moon were extremely dark, as if they were also sleeping in this long winter night.
The reason why a group of five people came here so slowly was not only to wait for the large troops of the Church of the Five Gods to arrive, to comfort the people who were unconscious in the Prophet's Association, and to properly deal with the three princesses who had seen everything. The most important reason was that , no one has forgotten that there are two beings in Saint Teresa Square who cannot even name angel-level relics.
There were other things happening in the city tonight. They came here immediately after the "Sunshine Sword" arrived. On the way here, everyone had already seen the corpse of the [Dark Stalker] lying on the street. Now the corpse Prepare for transport to church for inspection.
But after Yin Luna and the high-level warlocks entered Saint Teresa Square together, they did not find anything abnormal here.
The neighborhood is very peaceful. Most of the lights in the houses around the square are turned off. Only a few windows, such as No. 6 on St. Teresa Square, are still lit. Steam pipes and gas pipes are crawling on the walls. In the deserted square, only a few windows are lit. There is a fountain with the image of a girl holding a water bottle, still standing under the moon.
The five of them remained silent and carefully used thaumaturgy to test the surrounding environment. After confirming that thaumaturgy could not detect any abnormalities, they used the angel-level relic [False Doll] originally stored in the Church of Creation in this diocese to explore the surroundings.
After the small doll was placed on the ground, it automatically took nine steps forward and then fell to the ground. This showed that there was no existence nearby that could threaten it.
"Have you left already?"
Mr. Hogg Rendell whispered, and after his companion recovered the doll, he waved behind him. The team of ring warlocks from the Church of the Five Gods that had been mobilized, a total of more than 30 ring warlocks, officially entered the square. , going door to door and entering the house for inspection.
They were accompanied by the police constables with stars on their shoulders in Ridwich Field. The people who lived in St. Teresa's Square were quite prominent, so it was not easy to persuade them to open their doors at night.
The high-level warlocks checked the square again before preparing to enter No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to investigate the situation.
Mr. Smith, Shade's neighbor, was already wearing pajamas and opened the door. He looked uneasily at the sight of so many people in the square. Yin Luna, who came to the door of No. 6, suddenly stopped. Gao Gao beside her The ring warlocks also stopped, because at Shade's door stood a man wearing black clothes, his face completely covered by shadows.
Although they have never seen it, based on the disturbing whisper elements and the past information collected by the church, everyone instantly understood that this was [Jack the Thief]:
"You caught me and I want to give you a gift."
The hoarse voice said to Yin Luna. The seventeen-year-old girl was a little surprised. Just when she was about to speak, the hoarse voice said again:
"Because you didn't use your own strength to defeat me, so all I can give you is what I stole."
With that said, it handed over the Keeper-level (Level 3) relic [Mandrake's Snake Nest Vial] that had been stolen from Blackstone Security Company.
The long-necked glass bottle with a cork, golden runes written on the bottle body and covered with small snakes was stuffed into Yin Luna's hands. She looked at the bottle in her hand and blinked. The humanoid relic in front of her said again:
"I will never steal from you or your home again."
It slowly backed up, but did not touch the door of Shade's house. Instead, it seemed to blend into the darkness. The high-level warlocks did not dare to stop it and watched it leave, but they came back to their senses. Yin Luna suddenly asked again:
"Have the old existence and the incomplete ancient existence that came to this area gone?"
Almost half of the thief's body was integrated into the darkness, and the sticky darkness clung to it like mud, as if the darkness were some kind of creeping malice:
"Yes, they left half an hour ago."
After telling the truth, it retreated again and disappeared completely at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Yin Luna, who was holding the bottle, breathed a sigh of relief, but the thirteen-ring warlock who was wearing a black windbreaker tonight and with the holy emblem hanging on his chest was still worried:
"It's better to check again. The neighborhood nearby is not an ordinary place after all."
St. Teresa's Square seems to be busy late at night, but the church has proper inspection methods, so the noise will not last long. Most people living here know what large-scale actions at night mean, so they complain about it There are not even many people who don't cooperate.
Yin Luna handed over the [Mandrake Snake Nest Vial] to the accompanying team, and then asked the ring warlock from the Mechanical Church to directly open the door of Shade's house.
Shade believed in the righteous god [Mr. Dawn], so the group of people formally entered the house after promising Mr. Franz Joseph, the twelve-ring warlock of the Church of Dawn, that they would not touch or take away the items in the house at will.
They first came to the second floor and saw the young detective lying on the carpet, the [Wise Man's Pyroxene] in the detective's hand, the antique knight's sword, the cat next to his head and the broken jewelry box.
"It seems Mr. Hamilton also got a gift from the thief."
Miss Green whispered, bending down to check Shade's injuries. Others did not enter other rooms in the house at will, but checked in the foyer, stairs, corridors, and the kitchen and living room of Room 2. This time After all, the incident involves both an angel-level (level 1) relic and a sage-level (level 2) relic, so one must be very cautious.
"Mr. Hamilton was just mentally exhausted and fell into a coma. It is now Wednesday night, and he should wake up between Thursday night and Friday morning. Of course, the church will conduct a simple check on him to ensure that Mr. Hamilton No hidden dangers were left.”
Miss Green, who was wearing a blue dress and looked about 27 or 28 years old, said, reaching out to make Shade float in the air, and then let him lie down on the sofa. Little Mia, who was originally lying next to him, immediately chased after him, this time directly
He lay on Shade's chest and meowed pitifully.
"Is this the cat with the characteristics of [Beautiful Cat]? It is indeed very beautiful. Oh, and its combat power is 2."
Miss Green smiled and said to Yin Luna, confirming that the incident was basically over, and she was very happy.
Yin Luna nodded and looked at Shade with pursed lips. Miss Green let the teardrop-shaped blue crystal slip from Shade's hand fly over. She did not grab the pyroxene, but let it fall into Yin Luna's hand.
Wise Man's Pyroxene only takes effect on the owner and the first person to whom it is given. The pyroxene that fell into Yin Luna's hands turned into a gray petrified state.
"As expected, it seems that the church still has to find a way to get Mr. Hamilton to agree to transfer this pyroxene."
Miss Green shook her head in distress:
"Although he is an ordinary person, he has a relationship with the royal family after all, and we cannot force him. The coma can be explained by a gas leak, but how to explain the origin of this stone? And, what price should be paid in exchange for it?
"
"Shad loves Rhodes."
Yin Luna mentioned it, looked at the broken jewelry box on the ground, and thought of the [Mandrake Snake Nest Vial] just now.
Although the sudden appearance of [Jack Thief] just now can be explained, Yin Luna's intuition told her that it was definitely not normal. She probably guessed that it was Shade who gave up on obtaining the relics by herself and asked the thief to return their stolen relics.
, in this way, the punishment of "year-end bonuses are suspended, everyone accepts punishment and submits a letter of apology" caused by the team's theft will no longer exist because of Yin Luna's recovery.
She could think of the smile on the captain's face, Mr. Robinson, and the relief of Mrs. Moody, who was in charge of reception downstairs. She could think of Miss Cardia, who took good care of her in the team, and thanked the gods for keeping the year-end award. Everyone in the team would be grateful.
her.
"I also helped tonight."
She thought in her mind, bit her lower lip, and looked at the young detective who was sleeping with his eyes closed:
"You really are still thinking about me."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised unconsciously.
Miss Green asked Yin Luna to keep an eye on Shade for the time being while she went to help check whether the house was still affected by the relics. Because Shade went to the Blackstone Security Company to find Yin Luna, people in the Church of the Sun knew that Shade Hamilton was related to the Chosen One.
Friendship. But what happened tonight proved that Shade is just an ordinary person, and they don't have to worry about Shade having ulterior motives.
"We worked well together tonight."
Yin Luna said in her heart, feeling proud of herself. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she reached out and touched Xia De's face on the sofa.
A smile appeared on his face, and he turned around with his hands behind his back a little embarrassedly and looked around. Then he turned back to Shade's direction. The seventeen-year-old girl was in a good mood now. She picked up the brown lobes next to her ears with her left index finger.
He raised his eyebrows and looked around at Shade's house.
Unlike Luvia, she doesn't come here often and everything here feels new.
She glanced around the room with her hands behind her back, and saw that everyone was still busy. Yin Luna pursed her lips and looked at Sha De's face. She sat down on the sofa in front of Sha De's head with some embarrassment, straightened her skirt, and flexibly
Her eyes moved slightly downward and moved left and right a few times. She held the sofa with one hand, pursed her lips and moved her face towards Shade, as if she wanted to check his breathing, but suddenly she felt that someone was paying attention to her.
She raised her head slightly and found little Mia staring at her with big amber eyes.
The cat's four little paws pressed against Sha De's chest shirt. Yin Luna felt a little embarrassed, but realized that this was just a cat, so she gave up kissing Sha De's cheek quietly and reached out to catch the reluctant cat.
Pick up:
"While Shade is in coma, let me take care of you temporarily."
Looking down at Shade again, the seventeen-year-old girl thought of the dance under the moonlight at Lakeview Manor, the long skirt Shade had woven using illusion magic, and the field ridges under the silver moon:
"Everything will get better and better."
Some unspeakable emotion was rising in her heart. Yin Luna turned her head to look at the hazy starry sky and moon outside the window, feeling that everything tonight was so beautiful.
