Although Flora has not often appeared in Willendale City in recent years, she spent her girlhood there after all, so she has a very good relationship with the great witch who has been active in the royal capital all year round.
Sylvia then glanced behind her, and the young girls took a few steps to the side sensibly, and then the witch whispered:
"Oh, Flora, are you making fun of me? Since you are all called by his name, of course I can too, right? Something happened last night. I convinced Shade to change the way he calls me, as if
Same as Xi Wei."
The artist lady nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it:
"So now, apart from Granny Cassandra, only Bella is still called by Shade's surname, right? Speaking of which, you started earlier than me, but you didn't move very quickly~"
She smiled unconsciously as she spoke, and this smile made Sylvia change her original mind. She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Flora, do you know how I persuaded Shade to change his name to me yesterday?"
The curious artist lady then shook her head:
"Is it a very romantic scene?"
"Yes, of course it's romantic."
Sylvia lowered her voice and whispered in her friend's ear, and the latter's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When a large number of blue and yellow furry chocobos came happily in the forest, Shade
When she turned to greet the girls to set off, the grey-black-haired Flora Winslet just looked at each other and Shade, then immediately blushed and crossed her arms across her chest.
"What's wrong?"
"You guys are so shameless!"
Although Shade is not sure what happened to Flora, he can probably guess something from Sylvia's slightly satisfied expression. But fortunately, this does not affect the next action. Shade is using force to
After determining the direction with effective spatial perception, he rode on the tallest blue chocobo and led everyone into the forest.
The speed of the chocobos was extremely fast, and the group entered the area where the orchard was located around ten o'clock in the morning. Out of caution, they stopped at the periphery, and in accordance with the usual practice of the operation, they released several girls who were good at long-range reconnaissance.
After using thaumaturgy, we got a not so good result:
"There are traces of the activities of ring magicians around here, and there are obvious detection rituals."
The speaker was Sylvia's follower Miss Natalie Moreno. Like Sylvia's assistant Miss Drake, she had been promoted to a ten-ring sorcerer after Sylvia was promoted to the eleventh level.
.
“How widespread is the ceremony coverage?”
"We were worried about disturbing each other's rituals, so we didn't rush into in-depth perception, but the coverage is definitely not just a small area."
Sylvia then said to Shade:
"It seems that someone has chosen this area as a camp. In order to repair the ancient temple buildings scattered in the forest, the three major colleges have recently summoned many ring magician organizations to the United Church. It seems that we are not lucky enough to meet here this time.
Someone else."
Even if there are two high-level witches around now, it would not be very prudent to rush into an already-arranged ring warlock camp. But since we are already here, there is no reason to turn around and leave:
"Take care of those chocobos. Sylvia, you take Miss Moreno and the others and hide them in the woods. Flora, you turn into an owl and follow me. We directly touch each other's rituals and tell each other that we have discovered
Let’s go to this camp and see what kind of people will come to ‘greet’ us.”
The girls who came this time all came from Willundale with the great witch and princess of space. They are all good at space abilities. Even if they encounter the worst situation, they can still run away if they want to.
Sylvia had no objection to this plan, and the great witch of death, who had not spoken to Shade because she was shy along the way, nodded and turned into an owl, fluttering her wings and flying to Shade's shoulder.
.
Shade waited for a while to make sure that Sylvia and the others were hidden, then he reached out and touched the owl on his shoulder:
"If it's not necessary for a while, let's not take action yet."
Obviously he had done this action before, but this time the gray owl shook its body suddenly, as if it was frightened:
"OK."
"Well, what exactly did Sylvia just say to you?"
So he asked tentatively, hoping that Sylvia would not explain it too carefully, but the owl refused to discuss this topic:
"I didn't say anything! I mean, you can't say that at a time like this!"
Shade didn't ask any further questions. He put on the soul crystal ring, took a deep breath, stood there and punched the air in front of him:
"Mind blast!"
Under the influence of the powerful soul and strong mental power, the impact of the punch in the air roared forward like an invisible storm. While the branches of the dead trees in the forest rattled, the more important thing was that the invisible force
The mental impact interacted with the spirit, directly triggering all nearby investigation rituals.
From the perspective of the owl on her shoulder, if Shade's punch hit head-on, it should be enough to turn most of the middle-level warlocks into idiots. But then she remembered that when she visited Carina who was lying in bed, the other party praised Shade's
The physical strength is tyrannical, so even without the addition of mental strength, Shade's fists are deadly weapons.
"But what does Carina mean when she specially praised Shade's physical strength to me? She wanted to tell me, isn't Shade afraid of being affected by the death essence of my soul?"
The ritual was triggered and produced no sound or brilliance, but the "strong wind" frightened away a few birds resting on the treetops not far away. Shade stood still, thinking that someone would appear soon.
, but he waited for five minutes and nothing came.
If the other party was really so lax about guarding the camp, they would probably all die on the first night they came here.
Finally, the owl on the shoulder suggested:
"Look ahead. Except for the squirrel that jumped over your head just now, I don't feel any soul bigger than a fist approaching us."
Shade then made a gesture behind him, indicating to Miss Sylvia that they did not need to come out for the time being, and then walked towards the orchard that had been abandoned for hundreds of years.
The perceptions of the girls just now were not wrong. Centering on the old site of the orchard, there were indeed a large number of traces of investigative rituals, and those ritual traces were indeed touched by Shade.
At first he thought it was a trap to lure him into the opponent's territory, but soon there were traces of fierce fighting in the nearby forest. A large number of trees seemed to have been cut by high-energy light, turning into pieces of wood.
Scattered on the ground, you can occasionally see big trees uprooted and then inserted diagonally into the land further away.
The battle that took place not long ago seemed to be a devastating one. Of course, this meant that the side attacking the camp was devastating. The opponent should have directly entered the camp along the way. The clear signs of fallen trees in the forest explained the opponent's route of advance.
.
The few charred trees that were ignited by the fireball explosion were still lying on the ground with smoldering sparks. Shade bent down and wiped the blood on the ground, and found that the blood had not even dried up.
"This kind of soul power."
Miss Owl now crossed her wings in front of her face:
"It smells so disgusting. The other party used a soul-like ability. It is definitely not a safe power."
Of course, Shade knew that the power was not safe. At this time, he did not even need to look at the light shining on the [Night Watch] in his hand or use the "Sight Demon" to observe the strong demonic power around him.
In other words, all the traces of the battle that he could observe had obvious traces of demonic power. Not only the intruders, but also the ring warlocks stationed here used demonic power.
As expected, the intruder must be a doctor. The cuts on the surrounding trees were obviously caused by the light coming out of his eyes, which he called "anti-life rays". And the big tree that was used as a stick,
It was probably the doctor who caused his right hand to become enlarged by being wrapped in "human pus" and then pulled it out.
As for his opponent, Shade guessed that it should be the [Fog Crow Brotherhood]. Most of the people who use demonic power in the entire material world are gathered in this organization. Although "seeing demons" is a thaumaturgy that specifically targets evil spirits and demons
, but because those ancient evil spirits often appear in the bodies of alien demons, this magic also has an effect on the power of ordinary demons.
After understanding this, Shade said to the owl on his shoulder who only had a mysophobia about soul power:
"That's probably my friend in front of you. You guys wait for me here. I can just go there myself."
But this time the "Owl" did not agree:
"You should know that the other party's station is ahead. There must be more than one person waiting for you, right? I know you don't want too many people to see your friend, but I will never disregard your safety."
While speaking, he flapped his wings twice to express his emotions. Shade then smiled and touched the owl:
"Okay then, you can fly to the sky in a moment and don't let everyone on the ground notice you."
The doctor must have disguised himself well, and even if he was seen, it would actually be nothing:
"Also, take this sword with you."
"Why? Are you afraid that others will know your identity?"
"No, no, I'm afraid of accidental injury. Wait, why do I feel like something is vibrating on my body?"
Shade said suspiciously, felt in his pocket, and then took out the dragon egg fragment that was obtained with the tree hole yesterday. This thing was constantly vibrating:
"What does this mean?"
The owl stretched out its wings and touched the eggshell, and analyzed it professionally:
"The missing soul resonated. To put it simply, although the creature in the eggshell is not here, the eggshell has been with it for a long time, so it has been soaked in its soul power. Now it senses important things related to it,
That’s why we were shocked. We came to the right place, there are definitely clues here related to the black dragon beast!”
