Faced with the nun's question, Shade originally wanted to say that it would be fine on the outside of the right arm like other witches, but for some reason he suddenly thought of the white eyelids under the nun's eye patch. As soon as this thought appeared, Shade actually felt it.
A strong sense of immorality, guilt, and even blasphemy.
Even as soon as he thought that the brand would be hidden under the mithril eyepatch, when the nun carefully lifted the eyepatch, her right or left eye glowed with her eyes tightly closed, and he
【Be careful to maintain your posture.】
"She" who had been chuckling since just now finally couldn't help but remind him, so Shade quickly threw those distracting thoughts behind his mind, and then found that as long as the nun and the pair of shining silver eyepatch were still in front of him, he could not completely
Forget what you just thought.
Seeing that Shade was slow to give an answer, Sister Devlin asked:
"Can I choose where my mark is?"
The sound is still ethereal, calm, and nice to listen to.
"sure."
Shade breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was thinking intensely about whether to choose to follow tradition or follow his heart.
Then, he saw Sister Devlin turning her head slightly to avoid his sight again, then raising her hands, lowering her head and taking off the blindfold. At this moment, he held his breath, and the red-faced nun turned her head to face him.
By now, Shade couldn't remember the last time a nun let him see her without a blindfold.
Mithril's eyepatch gives Sister Devlin a unique sense of mystery and a sense of indifference, and Sister Devlin, who takes off the eyepatch, looks like a quiet, delicate and fragile woman.
girl.
It was difficult for Shade to describe his amazing feeling at this moment, but he still remembered the topic at this time:
"Sister, you mean."
Sister Devlin's eyes were closed at this time. After hearing Shade's question, her left eye opened. The pure white eyeballs "gazed" at him, and the feeling of being spied on appeared immediately, but it was not very serious.
Shade held his breath, while Sister Devlin pointed at her pure white eyeballs:
"Please apply the brand here, hero who bears the fire."
"She" in his ear continued to laugh, and Xia De tried to make his tone calmer:
"Although the 'Eternal Fire Seal' itself does not leave a mark by damaging the skin, it is still a mark. Will this not affect your vision?"
The nun gently shook her head. At this moment, the mithril eye mask was lying on the table next to her, shining in the morning sun. Without the restraint of the eye mask, the nun's gray hair on her temples became more scattered as she shook her head.
, even covering the side of his face. The cat watching this scene walked to the middle of the eye mask and lay down for a while, continuing to enjoy this boring morning drama.
"The eyes are just appearances, the soul is the reality."
"Okay, then I'm here."
He raised his right hand again, and the pure moonfire on his index finger was already burning. Then Shade noticed that his right hand was trembling slightly, and he immediately controlled his hand and moved it in front of the nun's open eyes.
The two people were originally standing very close to each other. As he took a step closer, more details on Sister Devlin's face without an eyepatch came into view. At this moment, the outsider felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
.This was obviously an early morning when he had nothing to do after breakfast, but at this moment he was facing Sister Devlin who had taken off her blindfold. The nun was "looking" at him with one eye open and the other closed.
Every element in this scene was sound, but Shade clearly felt that if a third person were present, neither he nor the cold nun in front of him would have reached this point.
"Meow~"
The cat squatting in the blindfold meowed softly to remind Shade that it was still here.
After a slight pause, the fingers continued to move forward, and the fingertips burning with pure silver flames successfully touched Sister Devlin's eyeballs. The touch was still difficult to describe. Shade could only say that he clearly felt the touch of his fingers.
The eyeball was wet and fragile, and it was squirming slightly.
The thaumaturgy was launched very smoothly, and when Shade took off his finger, the burning silver crescent was clearly imprinted on Sister Devlin's eyeballs.
In other words, the upper and lower length of the silver crescent mark far exceeds the upper and lower length of Sister Devlin's left eye. The moon mark is actually imprinted on the middle of her eyeball and on the skin, but it does not exceed the range that the eye patch can cover.
When the moon seal shone brightly, it was as if Sister Devlin's entire left eye was shining, but it also seemed like there was a bright silver tattoo on her left fair cheek. So the nun's left eye could not be closed.
Looking at Shade again, the bright silver crescent-shaped mark actually penetrated her entire left eye up and down.
The "normal" right eye opened and "looked" at Shade. The pure white eyes were actually vaguely glowing with the luster of the silver moon. When the nun's left eye was "gazing" just now, I didn't feel that I was with him.
She looked at each other, but with the left cheek now glowing and the right eye glowing silver, for the first time since he met Sister Devlin, Shade felt that he was really looking at her.
He could see the nun's inner thoughts from those eyes, and he could see the strength and loneliness beneath her surface calmness.
"Can your eyes see the normal world?"
Shade asked incredulously. His right eyeball moved a few times as his gaze moved, and then closed like the left eye. Sister Devlin's skin was already fair, and the mark on her left eye was glowing at this moment.
Next, the face looked even more delicate and quiet.
The "Seal of Immortal Fire" appears differently on Sister Devlin than on other girls. Shade speculates that this is related to the special nature of the nun's eyes and her own special nature as a "fire-bearing nun".
"The so-called normal world is originally a relative definition."
The nun said softly:
"But I did become stronger because of it. Shade, your fire guided me to see the deeper truth of the world. I think it's not far from my promotion to the Thirteenth Ring."
The light of the brand on the left eye finally went out after these words fell, but when the pure moonlight dissipated, Shade clearly saw several scar-like marks passing up and down the nun's left eye.
"This is."
Subconsciously, he raised his hand to touch the eyes of the nun in front of him, but stopped halfway. His behavior was quite impolite.
The nun continued softly:
"Your flames directly affect my soul, and the changes in my soul then affect my body. This is the proof of the brand and the manifestation of the power you gave me."
She did not say the word "stigma", but stretched out her left hand to grab Shade's right hand, and then pulled his right hand to touch the skin of her left eye.
When his fingers touched those "scars", they were indeed real. However, the touch of the nun's skin was very good, and Shade clearly felt that Sister Devlin also trembled when the two came into contact.
"It looks like it's just a branding, there's really nothing wrong with it."
He retracted his hand in time, so she turned around and held up the silver eyepatch with the cat squatting inside. She turned her head slightly to avoid Shade's sight again, and put the eyepatch back on, letting it restrain the hanging hair next to her ears.
, thus covering the mark in front of his left eye.
The re-wearing of the blindfold seemed to be a strange sign, which meant that the somewhat private matter just now was temporarily over. The "she" in his ear continued to laugh, and Shade knew what "she" was laughing at.
The level of nervousness was as if a girl was in front of him for the first time.
No one spoke, and the room fell into silence again. The silence lasted for a long time, and Shade finally let himself out of his strange thoughts and said:
"Sister, besides the Moon Seal matter, I actually have two other things that I want to ask you for help with."
"I'll help you with anything."
"It's not a very difficult thing. The first thing is that I want you to help find a corpse. The corpse was from a long time ago, probably when I first arrived in Vista City; the second thing is that I
Remember, you can now roughly detect a person's death date. I want you to help me take a look at a woman, who is most likely an ordinary person."
"I will grant your wish."
The nun lowered her head slightly and said softly. Shade still felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, so he also reached out and picked up little Mia and put her on his shoulders:
"Let's go take a look at the corpse first. I'll call Grace and Helen. They were also present when the corpse was made."
The Hongdie sisters have not been back since they were invited by Shade to attend the banquet last night. Cassandra's mother-in-law is not in Fort Midhill these days, so they are responsible for the work of Cassandra's auction house.
Although Vanessa did not appear at the dining table this morning, the two sisters who were sleeping in the same room as Vanessa did. They sat next to Agelina, talking and laughing with Granny Cassandra on the other side.
The little princess was a little nervous all morning.
As for the body that Shade mentioned, it was when he first came to Vista Grove and discovered the "First Tree Hole" cabinet in the Accordion Hotel, and planned to use the cabinet to go to the past to find Miss Danister,
The strange man who came out of the cupboard (Chapter 2550).
At that time, because Shade didn't know the characteristics of the "tree hole", he blew the butterfly calling flute to call Grace and Helen for help. The strange man's face was burned, his right eye was injured, and he was wearing an emerald ring on his hand.
That's when the man got out of the closet.
The opponent was proficient in the power of time, and had used time freeze, time reversal and time acceleration all over the place, but in the end he was killed by Grace and Helen on the way to escape in a world where time stood still.
Because the focus at that time was to find Miss Danister who had mistakenly entered the past time, Shade didn't pay much attention to the man. He just turned the man's body into a toy and continued to study the cabinet with the Hongdie sisters.
But last Sunday in White Ape Canyon, what emerged from the crack leading to the Doomsday Era reminded Shade of the man from two months ago.
