"But I just want to use this coin for divination. Counting this one, I have six special coins in my hand. It's really good. Speaking of which, if this coin is used in the Yuewan area, I don't know what will happen."
After coming out of the black market, it was already past eleven o'clock. Thinking that there would probably be no more gains in Coldwater Port, Shade was too lazy to go to the beach to find trouble with those smelly fishmen that occasionally appeared, so he finally went
Visited the "Pink Rose Hotel" in the deep alley of the dock slum area.
This is the place where Shade first met the "demon scholar" Mr. Sean Asmon. It was also here that Shade listened to the beginning of the demon story, and won the Suit Moon 9 [Demon Soul Stealer Bishop] by playing cards.
].
The wet weather made even the hotel look damp. The indoor lighting was not good, so the stingy shopkeeper lit a kerosene lamp on the table where the guests were.
There were not many people in the pub on the first floor of the hotel on Saturday morning. In addition to the guests, there were also a few seductively dressed women sitting in the corner waiting for the guests.
Shade sat down at the table against the wall where he had played cards with the demonologist. After ordering a glass of rum that he didn't really intend to drink, he planned to sit down at 11:40 and then go home for dinner. Unexpectedly, this hotel
There is really something unexpected waiting for him.
After he sat down, he opened the day's "Daily Daily", wanting to see if there was anything interesting in the advertisements on the back page. But before he could finish reading the second article, "Lapp Tobacco Company Lemons"
"flavored cigarettes" advertisement, someone took the initiative to sit opposite him.
Shade poked his head out from behind the newspaper and saw that it was a strange man wearing a black hat, and he was just an ordinary person. The latter seemed to be afraid of the light. The hat covered half of his face, and he also wore a cloth mask on his face.
Wrapped in thick black clothes, the exposed cuffs of his hands were wrapped in yellowish bandages.
"Who are you."
Shade raised his eyebrows, and the stranger lifted his dirty black suitcase on the table, and then took out a dirty gray cloth bag. The bag was tied with a rope, and he loosened the tie
Pushing the bag to Shade:
"Businessman, businessman of the raffle game. Three pounds, choose one of the three prizes in the bag."
Shade twitched his nose and could clearly smell the stinky smell that only belonged to the ocean. If he met such a person elsewhere, he would immediately identify him as a liar. Three pounds is not
A small amount, but now
"Okay, I like lottery games."
He took out three 1-pound coins from his pocket, and the man across the table swept them into his coat pocket casually.
Shade stared at the pocket in front of him again, and after thinking for a moment, he put his hand in. The space in the bag was of a normal size, and what Shade touched were three paper balls rolled up in a very simple way.
Because "she" can perceive the outside world from any part of Shade's body, theoretically, Shade can use some means to know the contents of the paper ball. But he did not do this, but followed his own wishes, very casually
Then he took out one of them from the bag:
"Let's do this."
The stranger across the table motioned for him to open it himself, and the crumpled paper seemed to have been torn randomly from a notebook. After unfolding, there was only a red swirl pattern drawn on it, so the person across the table opened it with a bandage.
He patted his suitcase casually three times and pushed it to Shade:
"It's yours."
After saying that, he stood up and left, not even thinking of taking away the bag containing the paper ball. Shade didn't think of chasing after him, but looked at the suitcase and then the bag inquiringly:
"What's on the other two wads of paper?"
He satisfied his curiosity with action. After opening the other two paper balls, they revealed a dark blue skull pattern and a brownish yellow lightning pattern.
【do you understand?】
"She" suddenly asked in Shade's ear, Shade nodded:
"Representing those three people. I think if the paper ball I pulled out is different, the contents of this box will be different."
As he spoke, he stuffed the bag, which was really just an ordinary item, into his pocket, then picked up his suitcase and left, leaving only the untouched wine glass safely placed next to the flaming kerosene lamp.
Of course, Shade would not open the suitcase in the tavern. He carried the suitcase and umbrella to a remote part of the slum, threw the glass slippers and returned home.
He closed the umbrella with a bang, and before the raindrops splashed onto the beds of the maids, Shade controlled him and flew back.
Little Mia Deng Deng~ The sound of greeting people coming downstairs appeared immediately. Shade touched the badge on his chest and knew that Miss Carina, who went to a meeting this morning, had also returned.
"How was the meeting?"
When she came to the second floor holding little Mia in one hand, the Witch was sitting on the sofa talking to Dorothy. Dorothy moved her body slightly to make way for Shade, letting Shade sit between them, so the red-haired
The witch leaned directly on his shoulder without ceremony:
"Oh, what else can come of this kind of breakfast meeting? I prepared the meal, the Speaker prepared black tea, and everyone else prepared their own snacks. Grandma Cassandra's snacks are the most delicious every time, she is sure
There is an exclusive secret recipe, and I don’t know how much that Miss Rita Swift has learned.”
"Just now Carina told me that they didn't come to any conclusion after discussing it all morning. They just used the power of the council to know what kind of skin care products can resist harmful rays."
Dorothy covered her mouth and said with a smile, and the beautiful red-haired duchess also nodded:
"Yes, yes, but the Speaker asked again this time if she needs to go to Yuewan to help. Bella said that it is not needed yet, and if necessary, she will directly ask others for help. This time, the Speaker generously opened the parliament
The weapons arsenal includes the girls involved in the Moon Bay Incident, yes, the witches and witch apprentices are included, and even Sister Devlin, Miss Eliaser, Grace, and Helen who are present at the council are included."
She seemed to feel it was unfair:
"Megan and Audrey didn't claim that they were two people this time, but why didn't I?! Although the best weapons in the open arsenal this time are only Sage-level weapons, I have long been interested in weapons.
There is a very beautiful set of jewelry in the library.”
"Because you are in Tobesk."
Shade said with a smile, Dorothy also smiled beside her.
"But meeting so early is not just about distributing weapons. There are also two things that have come to a conclusion this time. One is the matter of the Keeper-level relic [Star Sword Stone] you mentioned."
She leaned lazily on Shade's shoulder and watched as her maids cleared away the teapots on the coffee table and replaced them with new teapots and fruits:
"The Speaker said that the material of her pocket watch is not a remnant of the Fifth Era, but a product of the Sixth Era. The [Star Sword Stone] is most likely in the hands of a small-scale ring warlock organization [Volcano Alliance]. This is
A group of ring magicians operating in the Kingdom of Islands off the western coast of the Old World. It is said to be an order of followers of the old god - the volcano god - the [Lord of Lava], but this organization is too small and we don't know much about it."
She sat up straight and picked up the newly poured tea cup, but handed it to Sha De:
"Since Bella said that they can still control the situation in Moon Bay, the Speaker and the Great Witch of the Moon set out to find the relic. They can fly, and they also know the approximate location of the [Volcano Alliance]. Regardless of whether it goes well or not, they will
There will be news in two days."
"That's a good idea."
Shade said, deeply feeling the benefits of having enough manpower:
"What about the second conclusion?"
"Tomorrow, that is, from Sunday afternoon to before nightfall, there will also be problems with the sun's rays. It will still be centered on Yuewan Bay, because the sun's rays are much stronger than moonlight and starlight, so this time it will cause some bad weather in Yuewan Bay.
Influence.
This is the result of accurate divination based on the power of the Council itself. Miss Isabella asked Bella to remind the church. But I think the church should be able to know in advance. After all, they have a large number of diviners from the Seer Association.
"
Shade frowned slightly, and Dorothy on the side asked again:
"Shad, what's in the suitcase you brought? Why does it smell so fishy? Look at little Mia, it's hiding on the back of the sofa behind you."
“Cats actually hate the smell of fish~”
The witch covered her mouth and chuckled, but she and Dorothy also moved some things on the coffee table, and asked Shade to put the suitcase on the coffee table.
"I just went to Coldwater Port. Some guys who were unwilling to help sponsored me some good things, but I don't know what they were."
The lock of the box lid opened with two clicks. The good news was that Shade did not feel the divine power. Carina and Dorothy could both see what was inside. The bad news was that there was no divine power inside.
This is what Shade lacks most when facing the evil god who is about to descend on Moon Bay.
After all, even the most powerful "Unknown Relic (Level 0)" can only slightly restrict the gods at most.
The box was opened, and three items were embedded in the lining: a "ruby", a "square stone" with a cross pattern on its surface, and a blood-red copper whistle.
"Only these three things? You are stingier than I thought, this is"
Shade picked up the "ruby" which was about a quarter of the size of his fist. He was surprised when his palm touched it:
"Philosopher's Stone? So many?"
The rest of the Philosopher's Stone he got from Laplace Howard and the gifts from the church only amounted to this much.
"But give me the Philosopher's Stone for what? I know the Philosopher's Stone is valuable, but for what follows."
Pausing slightly, God has a reason for everything he does. Although Shade thought those three people were very stingy, since they gave it, there must be a reason.
