After speaking, Miss Denister patted the sofa next to her:
"What are you doing standing there? Sit down and talk."
"Aren't we going back to Vista City now?"
Shade asked, so the red-haired girl pretended to be angry:
"Why, you don't like going out with me so much? Now that you've returned to the academy, of course you won't leave immediately."
She saw Shade sitting down next to her again, and then she continued to speak:
"Drink this cup of tea first, and then wait for me to pick up the relics.
Regarding demons, there is no good solution here in the academy. Researching demons and tracing the history of demons may attract their attention. Therefore, the few projects related to those evil spirits in the academy are probably not as good as ours.
Survey of the city of Vista is useful.
But the inheritance of the witchers that you and Flora mentioned today made me think of something. The hunters of the third era left behind a lot of good things, and the academy has collected some of the useful equipment.
There is a relic that I have been hesitant to give to you, but since your encounter with the devil seems inevitable, I am not worried anymore."
She did not go to get the relic herself, but sat with Shade and continued drinking tea and chatting. After a full twenty minutes, two girls who looked less than 1.3 meters tall and wore the uniform and robes of the seventh grade college came.
, came over carrying a heavy wooden box.
The two look almost identical and should be twins:
"Professor Danister, we have brought the relic."
The two placed the wooden box on the coffee table and asked Miss Denister to sign the order before leaving.
Miss Denister also told Shade:
"This is Sister Taya, a halfling from the School of Library Management, who is the president of our major's student union."
"Can the student union president be two people?"
Shade asked curiously, and the sorceress smiled and shook her head:
"Of course not, but people can't always distinguish the two of them very well - this is their talent, and they are also happy to exchange identities, so everyone finally assumes that both of them are student union presidents.
Okay, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s open it and take a look.”
The slender wooden box contains straw. There is a square rough gray stone in the straw, and a sword scabbard is embedded in the stone.
The scabbard seemed to be made of metal and was completely black. After Shade took it out, he felt that its weight was even more exaggerated than it looked:
"It's so dense, what kind of metal is this?"
There are almost no decorative patterns on the scabbard, except for the same engraving as the [Demon Hunting Seal] near the bottom, and some light white marks on the surface of the scabbard form a short sentence:
[Hidden sword here, bring it out when encountering a demon.]
Shade fell in love with this at first sight.
"The Keeper-level relic [Edgeless Blade], yes, even though it is shaped like a scabbard, it can actually be used as a sword, but it is not very easy to use because of its length. The academy is in the fifth era
This relic had already been taken into custody at that time, and it was studied thoroughly.
To put it simply, if this scabbard is used as a weapon, it will have extraordinary damage effects on those ancient evil spirits and demons; any sword-like weapon can be placed in this scabbard, and after more than twenty-four hours, it will
It can have a special damage effect on demons for a period of time; in the end, any sword-like weapon will appear ordinary after being placed in this scabbard."
She obviously focused on the third characteristic, although this characteristic is not as powerful as the first two:
"This allows this scabbard to contain some dangerous sword weapons, even angel-level weapons. But for you, if you put your [Night Watch] in it, it can be perfectly hidden.
It’s up to its whispering factor.”
Shade is still playing with the scabbard. He really likes this relic:
"The whispering element of the scabbard itself is not strong. Although the pattern on the surface is easy to recognize, it is not a problem to camouflage it a little. This relic is very good."
The red-haired girl smiled:
"I knew you would say that. But there is a problem with this relic itself. It is one of the inheritances of the witcher. If you own it, it means that the path of inheritance has begun for you.
Although this does not mean that you will definitely be able to become a demon hunter, the probability of encountering demons in the future will definitely increase greatly. I was worried about your safety before and didn't want to mention this relic to you, but seeing that you are in Vista City
With your performance, I probably understood that you were walking faster than I thought."
After saying that, I couldn’t help but sigh:
"I finally made up my mind to accept an apprentice. I haven't experienced the joy of being a teacher yet. You are even better than me."
"I'm far worse than you."
Shade immediately corrected him, but Miss Danister shook her head:
"Looking at your current progress, I'm afraid the Nine Rings are not far away. Please put the scabbard away. Your identity as a school director will not be exposed for the time being according to your wishes. This is a gift I bought for you from the college."
"How does this work?"
Shade looked at her:
"How can I spend your money?"
"I'm your teacher, so what's the point of using my money to find a suitable scabbard for your long sword?"
After saying this, she tilted her head again, feeling that this statement was not very appropriate:
"If Flora gave you something, would you refuse it like this?"
"this"
Shade thought for a while, if it was Flora's gift, although he would refuse it for a while, he would definitely accept it in the end.
"You see, I have known you earlier, but you think that the beautiful witch is closer to you."
She shook her head, looked at Shade with her rose-red eyes, and her voice became slightly softer:
"So, you will accept this scabbard, right?"
"Yes, I accepted it."
Then she stood up and took a few steps forward with satisfaction:
"That's what you said. Let's go back. Or..."
She put her hands behind her back and turned to look at Shade with a smile:
"Do you still want to walk around the academy with me? Anyway, there's nothing to do tonight. I'll take you to visit the academy. As for Flora, she probably won't mind if we go back a little later."
The two of them stayed in the college until nine o'clock in the evening. They said they were visiting the school, but in fact they were in the library the whole time. After all, the library was big enough, and her current state was not suitable for being in front of too many people.
Show up.
However, Miss Denister promised Shade that after the incident in the Vista Grove was over, she would take him on a real tour of St. Byrons:
"As long as you make time and the girls at home don't have any objections."
This was what the girl who had returned to her eighteen-year-old appearance said when the two were preparing to return to the Accordion Hotel from the academy that day. Shade didn't understand the meaning at first, but when he showed up at home after throwing away his glass slippers,
On the first floor, when I bent down to pick up little Mia, I realized that this seemed to be another satire on my love life.
But no matter what, the tiring day is over again. I returned to my familiar home and took a deep breath, as if all my worries disappeared without a trace at this moment.
This is probably the meaning of home.
When Shade came to the second floor of his home with the [Night Watcher] inserted into the scabbard, he found that Luvia was the only one at home tonight. She seemed to have returned home early, so Shade came to the second floor
I was writing a report in the study.
"Look at this scabbard. It's a gift from Miss Denist."
He did not forget to show off to Luvia:
"How about it? Can you still feel the elements of [Night Watch] now?"
Luvia who walked out of the study didn't even look at what Shade was holding, but leaned against the wall and said:
"Tell me about what happened today. I feel like you are very busy today."
A lot of things did happen today, from the "ghost of resentment" in the deserted village to the death of Sister Devlin, from the investigation of demons involving the herbal medicine company, to meeting Emily at St. Byrons tonight.
Ya.
After Shade finished speaking, Luvia frowned:
"I don't know the real reason why you and the doctor always pay attention to demons. Maybe there really is a tree hole in the hands of demons in the woodland, but compared to the Battle of the Chosen, these are insignificant things.
Before Emilia goes to the woodland, Shade, I hope you can resolve this troublesome matter with the doctor as soon as possible and not waste too much time on it. I have already discussed it with Lesia, and I will
I’m taking a leave of absence under the pretext of being seconded by the royal family, and will join you in the forest with the witches.”
Shade then became serious. Luvia was right. His main mission in the Vista Grove was the Chosen One of Time:
"That demon may have four split bodies, and we must defeat them all to be considered a victory. Now I have found two of them, and there are still two more to go."
"The flame that the demon split that you mentioned last time is the one that you and the witch got. Is it still at home?"
Luvia then asked again, and Shade nodded immediately:
"It's still there, in the lantern. I was going to ask Sister Devlin to help dispose of it."
"Okay, take it out, and I will help you divine the locations of the remaining two clones of the demon. Don't let this continue to take up too much of your energy."
Even the cat standing on Shade's shoulder noticed that he did not move immediately. Shade hesitated:
"Luvia, are you sure you want to divine the devil?"
The purple eyes looked at him, with a smile clearly in their eyes:
"I know what you are worried about, but I felt a little bit during the horoscope this autumn. Recently, I have always felt the traces of fate in my dreams. In addition, tonight is one of the brightest nights in the starry sky in the year. I
Let’s try using the starry sky as a ritual trail and try to capture the traces of the devil.”
Shade then nodded:
"Well, where should we do the divination? If we are using the stars for divination, it shouldn't be inside the house, right?"
