Seeing Xia De looking at his maid, Miss Galina put down the teacup and said:

"However, if you have other questions, I can tell you."

"Yes, Miss Galina, I do have some problems with my studies as a ring warlock. That's right, I've been learning [Light]'s spiritual rune through "Crazy Light Chaser" for the past few months, but the progress is a bit slow , so I would like to ask for your opinion."

To fight against the demons in the [Dark Realm], you need the [Light] spirit rune. Xia De felt that he was just a step away, so he asked the witch for advice.

"[Light]? I'm not good at this, but Xi Wei is very good at it."

Behind Miss Aurora's seat in the [Witch Council] is the rune representing "light". At the same time, the light thaumaturgy she used when fighting Darkness in the murloc temple also left a deep impression on Shad.

"Let me help you arrange for you to meet Xi Wei in the parliament before Thursday at the latest. I think she will be happy to help you."

Miss Galina said, and then she leaned lazily on the back of the sofa and looked at Xia De:

"But what exactly are you going to do? It's not just about learning, is it?"

With a smile in her eyes:

"Although Tifa refused to talk about what happened to the ophthalmologist, when I found someone to confirm the doctor's status, I took a look around there, and there seemed to be demons there, and the demons in the [Dark Realm] are hidden. Servants, you just want to use the [Light] spirit rune to fight against it. Xia De, what are you going to do? Why are you suddenly interested in it?"

She touched her chin, saw that Xia De wanted to speak, and stopped:

"No, don't lie to me. It's better not to tell a lie than to get a lie. I won't force you to tell your secrets, but you must watch your own safety."

She said softly:

"Ring warlocks inevitably take on various adventures, which I can understand. But Shad, if you die, I will be very sad."

Xia De didn't know what to say. He raised his head and looked at the black-haired maid standing behind Miss Galina. The latter shook her head, signaling him not to say anything.

Putting aside the investigation of the blue-gray short-haired cat for the time being, Xia De took time to find Luvia and Iluna on Monday afternoon, and the three met in Saint Teresa Square. Xia De told them that Darkness A message appeared in the area around Tobesk.

Although it had long been expected that he would come to this city at the end of the Blooming Moon, when he really came, the three of them suddenly became nervous.

Miss Galina wants to kill Darkness herself, but Luvia just wants to make sure that Darkness doesn't become the second Chosen One, or that he dies after becoming the Chosen One. Therefore, Iluna, who will definitely be incorporated into the team against Darkness by the church, will pass on the information about Darkness.

Once the church fails to prevent Darkness from entering the [Dark Realm] and gives it the opportunity to hold the ceremony of the chosen one whose details are not yet known, the three of Shade will personally enter the out-of-control angel-level relic. Covering the area, it was up to the three of them to kill Darkness.

Xia De still hopes that the church or the witch can succeed, which will save him a lot of work.

"Shad, are you going to Queen Diana's birthday party on Wednesday?"

After talking about Darkness, Luvia asked, Shad nodded:

"Are you going too?"

"Yes, Marquis Emmanus Grassley, Marquis Lacon Jacques, and Marquis Heinrich Oken wanted to organize a Rhodes card game at the banquet, so they sent a letter to the Prophet Association, hoping that the association would send work Personnel arrived at the scene to carry out work such as Rhodes plate identification and licensing.”

She smiled a little relaxedly:

"This is a good job. Although I can participate in the banquet because of work, this kind of banquet is not easy to enter. The association has been arguing for a long time for the quota. Fortunately, my name is on the list. Xia De, Then we can have a dance at the banquet."

Iluna didn't speak at the side, she was busy with work recently, even if she had an invitation letter, she definitely didn't have time to attend the royal banquet.

"Dancing? No problem..."

Xia De was originally smiling, but suddenly thought of a new question:

"Dorothy is definitely going to attend the banquet. Rezia gave her the invitation. Priest Augustus will also attend the banquet with a high probability. As the most respected clergyman of the Church of Dawn in this diocese, Bishop Owen has no reason to attend the banquet. This way, except for the doctor, all four of the team will be at the dinner on Wednesday night. I don't know if Dr. Schneider will also go..."

And considering what happened last time when the five members of the group gathered at Lakeview Manor for a banquet, Xia De frowned. Although it is impossible for Tobesk to have another accident, for the sake of safety, he still has to ask the doctor about the itinerary on Wednesday night.

Judging by the doctor's luck, if he really wanted to attend the banquet, then Shad would consider bringing all the relics and spell-casting materials before going to the Yodel Palace for the banquet.

After discussing their recent actions with Luvia and Iluna, Xia De took another trip to Coldwater Harbor this evening, and brought back all the materials that the doctor had entrusted to the Seven Broomsticks for purchase.

With this reason, I wrote a letter to the doctor on Tuesday morning, explaining that I would bring the materials to visit in the afternoon, and after a long absence, I took the lazy Mia out to find the blue-gray short-haired kitten. .

Xia De thinks that it is not good for Mia to stay at home all the time, and it is more conducive to physical and mental health to go around the city with him occasionally and breathe fresh air.

Tobesk is still misty today, and the weather is a bit bad, it seems to be raining, so even though it is already 9 am after the letter is sent, the sky is still dim.

The client, Mrs. Midra, lived in the west district of Tobesk, and the place where the cat was lost was near the Golden Fleece Textile Factory.

The evening before yesterday, the old man went to the factory with the cat in his arms. On the way home, one street away from the textile factory, he stopped to order a brand new smoking pot at the copperware store. When he reached out and opened the door of the store, the cat Escaped from the embrace, got into the alley and was never seen again.

"Mia won't escape like this one day, will she?"

When he boarded the carriage and was about to set off, Xia De suddenly thought of it. But when he looked down at the cat that was lazy because he went out, he thought that his worries were completely unnecessary.

So the carriage carried Shad across the Terraria River that crossed the city first, and put him down on the east side of the street marked with "Minkwell Street".

Xia De took the cat into the "Johnson Copperware Shop". First, he was attracted by the exquisite copper engravings depicting the street scene of Silver Cross Avenue hung in the copperware shop. Out of curiosity, he inquired about the price and spent 4 pounds 16 shillings. Price bought it and asked the owner to send it to Saint-Andrés Square. Shade wanted to hang it at the corner of the stairs as a decoration.

Later, he asked the shopkeeper about the area where wild cats gather nearby. Because Xia De spent a lot of money, the elderly old shopkeeper enthusiastically pointed Xia De to inquire about the "Good Luck Bookstore" diagonally opposite the copperware shop. The shopkeeper there likes to feed cats in the nearby alley.

So Xia De went to the bookstore again. When the slightly fat middle-aged female shopkeeper heard that Xia De was helping people find cats, she immediately said that the old lady Midra had searched all the nearby wild cat gathering places the day before yesterday.

But Xia De thinks it is still necessary to take a look again, and the female shopkeeper also enthusiastically told Xia De three locations, that is, the garbage at the end of the alley next door with piles of steam pipes, and a street away from Minkwell Street. station, and the backyard grass of the shipping company that was being renovated at the end of the street.

According to the distance, Xia De first looked at the rusted steam pipes. These pipes are large enough in diameter for a cat of any size to slip through, and they were probably intended to serve as the city's steam mains, but have somehow been placed here.

After Xia De walked around the garbage dump and approached the pipes, the Mia cat on his shoulder suddenly raised its nose, and then let out a threatening scream. At the same time that Xia De was startled, the three stray cats that had been hidden in the pipe jumped out and ran away along the alley.

There were no blue-gray shorthair kittens among them.

"Mia!"

"Meow~"

Xia De looked at Mia on his shoulders with a serious expression, and the latter also looked at him with wide eyes.

"Don't shout, I'm working, if you scare the target away, I'm going to expand the search atmosphere to the whole city."

He regretted bringing Mia out, the cat presumably hated Shad getting close to other cats.

Then came the shipping company ~lightnovelpub.net~ This was originally the office of a grain depot, which was sold to the shipping company a few weeks ago, so it is being renovated. The old man at the gate originally did not agree with Xia De to enter at will, but because he negligently dropped a shilling silver coin in his wallet on the ground, he let him in.

Sure enough, there were a group of stray cats in the grass in the backyard. Mia didn't bark this time, but she was obviously a little unhappy when Shade turned the grass to look for it.

But unfortunately, the lost cat of old Mrs. Midella is not here either.

Finally, I went to the garbage disposal station farthest from the place where the cat was lost. This is a public department set up by the city hall with a large area. Although it is a garbage disposal station, it is only responsible for recycling metal garbage from nearby blocks. After sorting it, some metal materials can be reused.

But doing so does not mean that people in this era already have the idea of ​​"sustainable development". Shade heard from Priest Augustus that this is a new government department set up by the civil servants in the city hall to expand the influence of the department. Not much use other than spending tax money.

Because it is an idle job, the people who work here are very keen to feed the stray cats in the nearby neighborhoods. In addition, the yard of the metal garbage disposal station is quite large, so it has become a gathering place for stray cats.
