"Of course there is no problem with Granger, but the connection between the Granger family and the Guardians, and even the Chosen One, will definitely not be what it is now. I plan to visit the old family cemetery of the Granger family. This is one of the clues about the key."
Shade said, taking the key from Luvia:
"In addition, the guardians must know what this key represents. Those souls are afraid of... the devil. So, look for those dangerous crazy lands locally. If I can't solve it alone, the guardians will definitely take risks again. Showed up."
He said this word very carefully. Luvia, who had already known about it, was not surprised, while Miss Benanis and Miss Lassus frowned:
"What?"
We were in St. Perry's Cemetery. The departing nun once said that there are not only guardians here, but also the evil force. It has now been proven that the evil force is an ancient evil spirit.
Shade's expression remained unchanged:
"Yes, I have known about this a long time ago."
"Why didn't you tell us before?"
Miss Benenice's voice suddenly became louder, and she looked at Shade angrily:
"So, you are running around the city these days, are you investigating alone, investigating the evil spirits and demons of the third era?"
Miss Lassers was not angry. She looked at Shade very worriedly:
"It's not related to Stone Oxenfurt, is it? You should have told us."
"I don't tell you because I don't want you to get involved. But I'm telling you now because I have determined the identity of the devil and have the power to fight against it. However, I still don't know what it is planning or how it is related. What is the purpose of cooperation between cultists?"
Shade looked at the three ladies, focusing on the angry Miss Benanis:
"You have nothing to do with that demon. It is afraid of the Zhengshen Church and will not easily involve people who have nothing to do with it, so I didn't say anything. That guy is very scary. Even the guardian is afraid of its prying eyes. I don’t dare to show up directly.”
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
Miss Benanis stopped talking, and Miss Lassus asked worriedly.
"I have a... secret weapon, but it's not here yet, but it will definitely be fine. In addition, I got a large number of alchemical items for exorcism, which are in the suitcase I am carrying. You can see how to put them away later. Better yet, the girls of the Golden Dawn should need them too."
Shade pointed to the suitcase next to the sofa, and Miss Lassers' face showed more worry:
"It seems that the progress on my side will also be accelerated. If so, everything will be explained. In addition to trying to maintain the normality of the earth, the guardians also have their own powerful enemies."
"You don't have to worry about the devil, Miss Benanis. Please help Miss Lathans re-walk the path that Mr. Lahuis walked as soon as possible. This is very important."
Shade frowned slightly:
"In addition, if possible, please let Miss Lassus master a power of the earth as soon as possible... no, it is necessary, within half a month."
The blonde witch looked at Shade suspiciously:
"I remember you said that one of the characteristics of the chosen ones of the earth is to master the power of the earth."
Luvia looked at Shade, saw him nodding, and said softly:
"The Parliament should know by now that there are so-called lower-ranking candidates among the chosen ones. For example, the chosen one who died was Joy Barton, but the one who actually performed the ceremony was Sister Devlin."
"Do you think I am the lower candidate for the Chosen One of the Earth?"
The young blonde tilted her head and pointed at herself.
Shade nodded:
"It's just a guess, but in order to be fully prepared, if possible, it wouldn't be a bad thing to master a power of the earth as soon as possible."
He thought about the end of the adventure of the previous time key. Among the two ladies who attended the banquet of the Butterfly God, the witch Bletchett obtained a power of the earth, and she belonged to the Order of the Forgotten:
"The Forsaken Order has been developing locally. Haven't you recorded any power of the earth?"
Even though he had already asked it once, Shade still raised this question, but Miss Lassus shook her head in embarrassment:
"Including Ms. Blechet, the witch of the Fifth Age you mentioned, we can't find any relevant records."
The witch on the side has not yet recovered from the topic of demons:
"Isn't this the first time you've encountered a demon?"
She said suddenly, and Shade nodded, looking at the calm liquid level of tea on the coffee table in front of him:
"I encountered them three times last year...don't look at me like this, I have special methods for dealing with demons."
"The three you mentioned don't include human pus, right?"
Miss Benenice looked at him:
"That incident happened on the outskirts of Tobesk, and Carina was also involved. Then you have admitted that you were involved in the Pantanal incident, and Miss Myrna Feliana appeared both times, that is, The founder of your academy in the fifth era. Now, I know that your time key journey is somewhat unusual."
Her beautiful green eyes with golden eyes looked directly into Shade's turned eyes:
"It seems Carina and the others were not joking when they said you were very useful."
Shade shook his head slightly:
"In short, the investigation in my hands has reached almost the final step. If there are no clues in the Granger family's old cemetery, then all I have to do is wait. After half a month... it seems that I will be able to rest for a while, no I know how things are going with Margaret."
Miss Lassers replied:
"Margaret's negotiations with the Stonemasons Guild have made a good start. She will come to report the progress to Bernanice tomorrow. Moreover, we have figured out the specific functions of the two Holy Grails you gave us last night. .
As she spoke, she asked the servant outside the door to help fetch the two Holy Grails:
"The function of the Holy Grail of Memory is very simple. It is very similar to some of the powers of our order. Inject water into the Holy Grail, and then drink the water, and the memory will be enhanced within a certain period of time. The effect is simple, but the wolf is practical."
She put the Holy Grail that Shade got from Watson Manor on the table, and picked up another one:
"The Holy Grail that you and Vanessa obtained from the Night Temple is a little more troublesome to determine its effect, but fortunately you can read the runes, and based on the meaning of the runes, you also tried out the general function. In fact, it is not called ' Pregnancy, it is better to call it 'anti-fetus'. The function in the literal sense is that pregnant women can take the wine taken from the Holy Grail to make the birth smoother."
Miss Lassers said and put the second Holy Grail on the table:
"Water can also be used, but the effect is not as good as wine. Bernanice entrusted Grandma Cassandra and asked Sister Devlin to check the literature. It seems that in the teachings of the earth gods, it is generally believed that wine is the blood flowing from the earth. It has the ability to nurture all living beings.”
"I thought this was a legend made up by the owners of the winery to sell their products."
Shade said that in this way, he would have five Holy Grails in his hands. The functions of other Holy Grails are not irreplaceable. Only the function of the "Holy Grail of Conservation" is somewhat unique. He plans to donate it to Snake if the "Holy Grail of Conservation" has not been consumed after the incident in Randall Valley. Heart Hospital, Sister Devlin's hospital specializes in delivering babies to the poor.
Seeing that Miss Benanis was still a little angry, Shade took out the red wine again:
"Want to have a drink together?"
Miss Lassus and Luvia both saw that Shade wanted to appease the witch's little anger, so they both smiled and said nothing. The blonde witch took the wine bottle from Shade's hand:
"Since I'm in the Randall Valley, if anything dangerous happens in the future, remember to call me."
"Yes, yes. Speaking of which, do you have any plans to come over when the other girls from the Witch Council will come? I'm really looking forward to meeting you..."
At this time, Vanessa Benenice's anger was indeed transferred to other aspects.
Just like that, a somewhat relaxing Tuesday ended. And when Shade returned home that night, besides Mia, there was also the princess who had used the body of the blonde girl waiting for him at home.
On Wednesday morning, while Lesia was humming a song and making breakfast in her pajamas, Shade set up a projection ceremony in the living room. After determining the time, he threw the burning parchment into the basin and sat on the chair.
After his vision became blurred and became clear again, Shade once again came to the center of the St. Byrons Library. The huge metal planetarium surrounding the luminous sphere rotated slowly under the dome overhead, while Miss Denister was still sitting on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, waving the students who were helping to prepare for the ceremony to leave temporarily.
In the early morning, the St. Byrons Library was already full of energy as at the beginning of the day. There were quite a few students who came to the library to borrow books and study. Compared with them, Shade was indeed a bit lazy.
The librarian lady spoke first:
"It's a good habit for you to come to me and ask for advice once a week. After I finish what I'm doing, we can actually agree on a time for you to report your study progress to me once a week."
Shade felt that the nerve endings at his temples seemed to hurt:
"Speaking of which, what are you busy with now? Is there any new progress in the investigation of the Karas Mountain ruins?"
"No, I'm glad you care about this matter. But I'm busy with college affairs. I'm on a business trip to Randall Valley. I won't be back until spring. Although it's only for a month, I still prefer the environment of the college. .”
The sorceress said melancholy:
"But during this period, you can still contact me, but I may be a little slower in replying to messages."
"it does not matter."
"So Shade, why did you come to me this time? Have you made progress in Moon Dream's studies?"
She raised her eyes and looked at Xia De, who shook his head anxiously:
"Moon Dream still has some difficulties... I actually want to ask for your opinion on choosing thaumaturgy for the new spiritual runes."
As he spoke, he had already summoned his own life ring. Miss Danister tilted her head slightly to look, and then she was surprised to see two more spiritual runes on Shade's life ring:
"Let me confirm, if my memory is correct, the last time we met was also Wednesday."
"Yes, seven days ago, it was morning just like this time. I remember it very clearly."
"At that time, your five rings only had one Whispering Spirit rune?
"Yes, Whispering [Puppet]."
"So, in a week when I thought your learning progress was too slow, you actually got two spiritual runes?"
"Yes, miracles and profanity."
