Returning home from St. Byrons, Shade told Lesia that the [Sleeping Princess] could replace the [Sleeping] spirit rune. As a result, the blonde slacked off a lot for the rest of tonight's class.
After all, once Shade sets off for the fifth era, she will almost certainly obtain the spiritual rune. She has been taking courses for more than a month, but it seems to have no effect at all.
Lesia did not hide her emotions, and Shade could naturally tell it, so he took the initiative to tell the story of the red butterfly.
Shade had already told Dorothy this story, and Lesia had probably heard the retelling, but hearing it from Shade again would give her more details.
"Shadow, how do you think Dorothy and I will end?"
She held her face with one hand and looked at the moon outside the study window. This action is very unladylike, but when the princess does it, it looks so elegant.
"I don't know, but it's definitely better than the current state of Grace and Helen."
"But I think they are in good condition. At least, they can meet each other every 22 years. And Dorothy and I..."
"Don't say such things."
Shade stood by the window, holding his hands back on the window sill, with the cat lying on his hand:
"I will be able to see them again next week. You see, the alchemy items made based on their stories can make you and Dorothy look at each other. I think the real power of the red butterfly should be able to bring you into further contact. "
"is that so?"
Lesia was a little disinterested, closed her eyes slightly, opened her eyes and shook her head:
"If possible, I would like to meet them. The story of Hongdie is really sad..."
"Don't be so pessimistic. When the incident in Middleburg is over next week, I will have a lot of time to find a way to help you meet. The door next door is good, but it is a pity that it is only used for a short time."
He bent back slightly, even letting his head touch the glass of the window:
"After a busy autumn, things are finally coming to an end."
"What are you doing at Fort Midhill?"
Lesia asked.
"Find a Rhodes card."
"What card?"
"All things are impermanent·Death."
Standing up straight, with a smile on his lips, he said in a joking tone:
"I already knew his wielder, but his wielder was going to make a big mistake, so I decided to try and save him, or send him away, and get the card again."
"When you say such things, you are really childish and act like a big boy."
The blonde girl smiled and then stood up:
"Then tonight's class will end here first. After you are promoted to the fourth ring, we will consider the next fairy tale. It is really difficult to be your teacher."
After saying that, she smiled and pointed to the top of her head:
"I won't disturb you and Luvia anymore."
"What does it mean?"
"Oh, my dear Shade, do I naively think that she will go home on time every time after her horoscope? Detective, I am not a naive sixteen-year-old girl."
She smiled and packed the books on the table and prepared to leave. Shade thought for a while:
"Lecia, do you want to see magic?"
"magic?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess hesitated and sat back on the chair:
"Knight, please."
His white hands turned around in the air, making a gesture of invitation.
Shade nodded, first put his right hand into his pocket, then snapped his fingers, and a handful of flames immediately burst out from his fingertips.
"Don't tell me this is magic."
"Please look carefully."
Shade concentrated on looking at the flames. The flames trembled and stretched slightly. In just two breaths, they actually turned into a lifelike flaming rose in Shade's hands.
Lesia had a smile on her face:
"Very good control."
"Madam, can you lend me your handkerchief?"
Shade asked again, borrowing Dorothy's handkerchief from Lesia's hand and covering it on the flame rose. The handkerchief was not set on fire, but wrapped around Shade's entire hand.
He shook gently, and the handkerchief swirled and flew up, and a somewhat withered blue rose appeared in Shade's hand:
"Good night, ma'am."
He handed the rose to Her Royal Highness the Princess, who could not hide the smile on her face:
"I can't tell that you still have this kind of mentality."
She did not take the flower, but stood up and walked around the table, stretched out her arms and put her arms around Shade's neck, stood up slightly on her tiptoes and kissed him. But Shade tilted his head back to avoid:
"Louvia is still upstairs."
The blonde girl's green eyes seemed to be shining:
"Wouldn't that be better?"
She kissed Shade.
The mist drifted outside the window, and the quiet moonlight shone on the two of them from the window, as if the spotlight in the theater had stopped at this moment.
"Meow~"
Under the moonlight, little Mia put her head on her two furry front paws and gave a soft cry.
"Oh~"
Shade pushed away the girl in his arms:
"Dorothy! It's not good for you to do this again... it's bad for my heart."
"Your cat told you again?"
The writer lady asked with some dissatisfaction:
"Really, when will you be able to identify us on your own? Does kissing me feel exactly the same as kissing Lesia?"
In fact, Xia De recognized it. The two had been in close contact just now, and "she" could feel the slight difference between the two souls.
"This is for you."
Shade handed out the blue rose again, and Dorothy took a look:
"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for the birthday gift you gave my mother. You were very discerning in choosing the gift."
Then, like Lesia, Dorothy put her arms around Shade's neck and kissed him.
Shade hoped that days like this could last forever.
At least, he hoped that the brief period of peace would last for a long time after the incident in Middleburg ended next week. Just like he said, he had been busy in the mountain city all autumn and he really wanted to take a rest.
The original plan was to use the time key of Fifth Era 3024 on Sunday morning to complete the last exploration of this key. But when Shade woke up on Sunday morning, tilting his head and looking at the cat ball lying next to the pillow, he felt that the key might be able to wait a few days before using it.
After all, the large-scale magical sealing ceremony "The Trace of the Holy Tree" in Fort Mibas will begin next week, and Shade is almost certain that something will happen at that time. Keeping a time key in your hand that you can use can be useful when facing critical situations.
So Shade kept the key to 3024 and spent Sunday working in the city with Luvia. The two first went to the Black Raven Library together, and then went to a hidden black market for banned alchemical items in the slums in the south of the city. After lunch at the Three Cats Hotel in Anthem Square, Luvia ordered an alloy dagger from the blacksmith shop next to the square.
In the afternoon, they went to Old John first. Luvia asked about the special coins, and Shade bought another special item related to the sun. This time it was a ruby with flaws, and the flaws on the gemstone actually looked like sunbursts. This is a natural blemish that, with simple treatment, can make an excellent ceremonial symbol.
Because it was a ruby, Old John asked a very high price. When Shade complained about the price of 33 pounds, Father John shook his head and said:
"This is a very rare gem. If you don't need it, you might be able to get your money back by selling it."
"If I sell it to you, will you accept it?"
"I'll take 18 pounds."
Luvia couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between the two, and then persuaded Shade to buy the gem. Compared to the seal he wanted to open, double-digit gold pounds were nothing.
In the evening, Luvia took Shade to the new black market in the city, which was the Scholar's Tavern in the Tobesk University District. Because it is adjacent to Tobesk Secondary Mechanical College, the tavern is mostly filled with young scholars or well-educated citizens who live nearby.
Luvia exchanged a few secret codes with the bartender mysteriously, and then introduced Shade to him so that Shade could also trade here.
Then, she finally got her goal this time, the clerical relic [Dandelion Coin].
【Dandelion Coin】The overall color is a pleasant light blue, and it is about the size of a small coin of a penny. The name "Dandelion" does not mean that the coin is made of dandelions, but that there are dandelions on both sides of the coin. One of the characteristics of this relic is that when a person blows gentle wind on it from the mouth, the [Dandelion Coin] can float like a real dandelion.
In order to verify whether the air flow blown by the cat also had this effect, after returning home after dinner, Shade held Mia the cat and tried it out. When Mia actually blew up the coin with an unknown breath and flew towards the other side of the coffee table, the surprised expression on the cat's face was really funny.
Of course, the way it continued to exhale at Shade was even more ridiculous.
The most important feature of [Dandelion Coin] is actually to summon the wind. The coin itself is a trading item. When holding a coin in an open outdoor area and praying for the arrival of wind, you can use a [Dandelion Coin] to summon any wind that may appear in the local environment.
In other words, if Shade goes outside now and prays for a tornado to appear in Tobesk, it is completely possible.
In addition, when carrying this coin to use any thaumaturgy related to "wind", the power of thaumaturgy will be enhanced. However, the clerical-level danger level assessment is not only due to its random manipulation of celestial phenomena and the increase of thaumaturgy, but also because if this kind of coin is thrown directly into the fire, a special kind of energy called "meteor and fire shower" will be generated. Destructive natural disasters will occur nearby.
The number of [Dandelion Coins] is not clear, because people can always find them in some remote corners after strong winds and rainstorms. Therefore, the currently known number of [Dandelion Coins] in existence has exceeded 2,000, most of which have been sheltered by the Church of Nature.
The church believes that using this coin is actually making a deal with a great person who has passed away and is in charge of the "wind". But which one it is, there is a lot of disagreement in the circle of magicians.
