When Iluna, Miss Green, the ten-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun, Mr. Hogg Rendell, the thirteen-ring warlock of the Church of the Sun "Sunshine Great Sword", Mr. Modelo, the eleven-ring warlock of the Peace Church, and Mr. Modelo, the eleven-ring warlock of the Church of Dawn, When Mr. Franz Joseph, the twelve-circle warlock, arrived at Saint Teresa Square, half an hour had passed since the four doctors and doctors Schneider left.
The night was already very late, and the mist was drifting in the city, making the gas street lamps surrounding the square each emit a strange halo. The starry sky and moon were exceptionally dim, as if they were sleeping in this long winter night.
The reason why a group of five people came here so slowly was not only to wait for the large troops of the Church of the Five Gods to arrive, to comfort the people who were unconscious in the Prophet's Association, but also to properly deal with the three princesses who had seen everything. The most important reason is that no one has forgotten that there are two beings in Saint Teresa Square who cannot even name angel-level relics.
There were other things happening in the city tonight. They came here immediately after the "Sunshine Sword" arrived. On the way here, everyone had already seen the body of [Dark Stalker] lying on the street. Now the body is going to be transported to the church for inspection.
But after Iluna and the high-level warlocks entered Saint Teresa Square, they did not find anything abnormal here.
The neighborhood was very peaceful. Most of the lights in the houses around the square were turned off. Only a few windows, such as No. 6 on St. Teresa Square, were still lit. Steam pipes and gas pipes climbed on the walls. In the deserted square, only the fountain with the image of a girl holding a water bottle still stood under the moon.
The five of them remained silent and carefully used magic to test the surrounding environment. After confirming that thaumaturgy could not detect any abnormality, they used the angelic relic [False Doll] originally stored in the Church of Creation in this diocese to investigate the surrounding area.
After the small doll was placed on the ground, it automatically took nine steps forward and then fell to the ground. This showed that there was no existence nearby that could threaten it.
"Have you left already?"
Mr. Hogg Rendell whispered, and after his companion recovered the doll, he waved behind him. A team of ring warlocks from the Five Gods Church had been mobilized. A total of more than 30 ring warlocks officially entered the square and entered the houses door to door for inspection.
They were accompanied by the constables with stars on their shoulders in Ridwich Field. The people who lived in St. Teresa's Square were quite prominent, so it was not easy to persuade them to open their doors at night.
The high-level warlocks checked the square again before preparing to enter No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to investigate the situation.
Mr. Smith, Shade's neighbor, was already wearing pajamas and opened the door. He looked uneasily at the sight of so many people in the square. When Iluna came to the door of No. 6, she suddenly stopped, and the high-level warlocks around her also stopped, because at Shade's door, stood a man wearing black clothes, his face completely covered by shadows. people.
Although they had never seen it, based on the disturbing whisper elements and the past information collected by the church, everyone understood in an instant that this was [Jack the Thief]:
"You caught me and I'm going to give you a gift."
The hoarse voice said to Iluna. The seventeen-year-old girl was a little surprised. Just when she was about to speak, the hoarse voice said again:
"Because you didn't use your own strength to defeat me, so all I can give you is what I stole."
With that said, it handed over the secretkeeper-level (level 3) relic [Mandrake's Snake Nest Vial] that had been stolen from Blackstone Security Company.
The long-necked glass bottle with a cork, golden runes written on the bottle and covered with small snakes was stuffed into Iluna's hand. She looked at the bottle in her hand and blinked. The humanoid relic in front of her said again:
"I will never steal from you or your home again."
It slowly backed up, but did not touch the door of Shade's house. Instead, it seemed to blend into the darkness. The high-level warlocks did not dare to stop it and watched it go away, but Iluna, who came back to her senses, suddenly asked again:
"Have the old existence and the incomplete ancient existence that once descended around this area gone?"
Almost half of the thief's body was integrated into the darkness, and the sticky darkness clung to it like mud, as if the darkness were some kind of creeping malice:
"Yes, they left half an hour ago."
After telling the truth, it retreated again and completely disappeared at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. Iluna, who was holding the bottle, breathed a sigh of relief, but the thirteen-ring warlock, who was wearing a black windbreaker tonight and with a holy symbol hanging on his chest, was still worried:
"It's better to check again. The neighborhood nearby is not an ordinary place after all."
St. Teresa's Square seems to be busy late at night, but the church has proper inspection methods, so the noise will not last long. Most of the people living here know what large-scale operations at night mean, so there are not many people who complain or even refuse to cooperate.
Iluna handed the [Mandrake Snake Nest Vial] to the accompanying team, and then asked the ring warlock from the Church of the Machinery to directly open the door of Shade's house.
Shade believed in the righteous god [Mr. Dawn], so the group assured Mr. Franz Joseph, the twelve-ring warlock of the Church of Dawn, that they would not touch or take away the items in the house at will before officially entering it.
They first came to the second floor and saw the young detective lying on the carpet, the [Wise Man's Pyroxene], the antique knight's sword in the detective's hand, the cat next to his head and the broken jewelry box.
"It seems Mr. Hamilton also got a gift from the thief."
Miss Green said softly, bending down to check Shade's injuries. Others did not enter other rooms of the house at will, but conducted inspections in the foyer, stairs, corridors, and the kitchen and living room of Room 2. After all, this incident involves both an angel-level (level 1) relic and a sage-level (level 2) relic, so one must be very cautious.
"Mr. Hamilton was just too mentally exhausted and fell into a coma. It is now Wednesday night, and he should wake up between Thursday night and Friday morning. Of course, the church will conduct a simple check on him to ensure that Mr. Hamilton No hidden dangers left.”
Miss Green, who was wearing a blue dress and looked to be in her twenties, said, stretched out her hand to let Shade float in the air, and then let him lie down on the sofa. Little Mia, who was originally lying next to him, immediately chased after him. This time, she lay directly on Shade's chest and meowed pitifully.
"Is this the cat with the characteristics of [Beautiful Cat]? It is indeed very beautiful. Oh, and its combat power is 2."
Miss Green said to Iluna with a smile, confirming that the incident was basically over, and she was very happy.
Iluna nodded and looked at Shad with her lips pursed, while Miss Green let the teardrop-shaped blue crystal that fell from Shad's hand fly over. She did not grab the pyroxene, but let it fall into Iluna's hands. [Wise Man's Pyroxene] only takes effect on the owner and the first person to whom it is given. The pyroxene that fell into Iluna's hands turned into a gray petrified state.
"As expected, it seems that the church has to find a way to get Mr. Hamilton to agree to transfer this pyroxene."
Miss Green shook her head in distress:
"Although he is an ordinary person, he has a relationship with the royal family after all, and we cannot force him. The coma can be explained by a gas leak, but how to explain the origin of this stone? And, at what price should it be exchanged for it? "
"Shad loves Rhodes."
Iluna mentioned, looking at the broken jewelry box on the ground, and then thought of the [Mandrake Snake Nest Vial] just now.
Although the sudden appearance of [Jack Thief] just now can be explained, Iluna's intuition told her that it was definitely not normal. She probably guessed that it was Shade who gave up on obtaining the relics by herself and asked the thief to return their stolen relics. In this way, the "year-end bonuses were suspended", "everyone accepted punishment" and "submit a letter of apology" caused by the team's theft. Punishment no longer exists because of Iluna's redemption.
She could think of the smile on the captain Mr. Robinson's face, she could think of the relief of Mrs. Moody who was in charge of reception downstairs, and she could think of Miss Cardia, who took good care of her in the team, thanking God for keeping her year-end bonus... Everyone on the team will thank her.
"I also helped tonight."
She thought in her mind, bit her lower lip, and looked at the young detective who was sleeping with his eyes closed:
"You really are still thinking about me."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised unconsciously.
Miss Green asked Iluna to look at Shade temporarily while she went to help check whether the house was still affected by the relics. Because Shade went to Blackstone Security Company to find Iluna, people in the Sun Church knew that Shade Hamilton was friends with the Chosen One. But what happened tonight proved that Shade was just an ordinary person, and they didn't have to worry about Shade having ulterior motives.
"We worked well together tonight."
Iluna said in her heart, feeling proud of herself. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he reached out and touched Shade's face on the sofa.
A smile appeared on his face, and he turned around with his hands behind his back a little embarrassedly and looked around. Then she turned back to Shade's direction. The seventeen-year-old girl was in a good mood now. She picked up the brown hair beside her ear with her left index finger and looked around Shade's home.
Unlike Luvia, she doesn't come here often and everything here feels new.
She glanced around the room with her hands behind her back and saw that everyone was still busy. Iluna pursed her lips and looked at Shade's face. Somewhat embarrassedly, she sat down on the sofa in front of Sha De's head, straightened her skirt, and then her smart eyes moved down slightly, moving left and right a few times. She held the sofa with one hand, pursed her lips and moved her face closer to Shade, as if she wanted to check his breathing, but suddenly she felt someone was paying attention to her. She raised her head slightly and found little Mia staring at her with big amber eyes. Holding her.
The cat pressed its four little paws on Shade's chest shirt. Iluna felt a little embarrassed, but realized that this was just a cat, so she gave up kissing Shade's cheek quietly and reached out to pull the reluctant cat away. Grab and hug:
"While Shade is in coma, let me take care of you temporarily."
Looking down at Shade again, the seventeen-year-old girl thought of the dance under the moonlight at Lakeview Manor, the long skirt Shade had knitted using illusion magic, and the field ridges under the silver moon:
"Everything will get better and better."
Some unspeakable emotion was rising in her heart. Iluna turned her head to look at the hazy starry sky and moon outside the window, feeling that everything tonight was so beautiful.
