After Dorothy left, Shad continued to wait. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Luvia asked someone to send a letter to Xia De, saying that the Church of Peace had found traces of Darkness and the Blood Weeper in the south of the city, but due to the appearance of other ring magician organizations, The tracking of the two was not smooth.

"There are other Ring Warlock organizations..."

Xia De, who stayed in the Saint-Andrés Square, felt that the situation seemed to be getting worse. The organization of ring warlocks looking for the chosen ones is far more than the church, college, council, and blood spirit school. If there is a few more days of delay, there may be new thirteen ring warlocks appearing.

In addition, Luvia has already contacted Iluna. The out-of-control relic [Dark Realm] is extremely dangerous inside, and the church has made some amulets to protect people who need to enter it. Iluna has already obtained two extra talismans, and Luvia will bring the talismans the next time she comes to Saint Teresa Square.

She also seems to think that Darkness has a high probability of successfully entering the [Dark Realm], so Shad is ready to go at any time.

And so came Saturday morning, the thirty-first day of the Flower Moon, the end of the Flower Moon in August.

When he woke up in the morning, Xia De thought that if Darkness's whereabouts could not be confirmed by noon today, then he would go to Luvia and not wait any longer.

But just after breakfast, there was a knock on the downstairs door. It was only when Xia De, who was full of anticipation, opened the door downstairs, that he found that the visitor was Luvia again, not the maid holding the [Dark Box], but Priest Augustus.

"Why do you see me so disappointed? Xia De, do you hate me so much?"

The priest was not involved in the matter of the chosen one, so while Shade was nervously waiting for the decisive battle, the life of the priest was still very leisurely.

"No, I'm glad you came. But I'm waiting for Luvia, and I have something very important to ask her."

Xia De said, and then gave way to the door to let Priest Augustus enter.

"Luvia? Who is this? Have you met a new girl?"

The priest asked with a smile. When he was about to enter the door, he saw Xia De standing there in a daze:

"Detective, you are very strange today, what's the matter?"

He frowned.

"Priest, Luvia Anat, don't you know?"

"Who is that?"

Priest Augustus touched his chin and asked strangely, he didn't seem to be joking.

At this moment, Xia De doubted that he hadn't woken up yet, but immediately thought of the characteristics of [Dark Domain]:

"Then priest, please think carefully. How many people are there in our group including you and me?"

Xia De asked again.

"There are also doctors and writers, four people...huh? Why does it feel like there is something wrong...Wait, isn't our group complete with five people?"

He looked up at the detective at the door:

"Did I be affected by something?"

"It's not affecting memory, it's changing cognition."

The area covered by [Dark Realm] will not only disappear completely, but will also be forgotten by people, and any related records will also disappear in a relatively reasonable way. Therefore, people who enter the area will also be forgotten by all. But even if all the records disappear, people will gradually discover something is wrong, so the church was able to discover that the [Dark Realm] appeared around Tobesk at the beginning.

"Come with me, priest, there is something very important to confirm."

Xia De walked up the stairs quickly, the priest closed the door behind him, and followed while thinking:

"Oh, don't go so fast, do you think I am the same age as you? Xia De, tell me first, what level of relic is this time?"

Xia De was about to reach the second floor at this time, his speed was very fast, and the priest had just reached the corner of the stairs:

"It's an angel-level (level 1) relic [Dark Domain]!"

"It's not an unknown level (level 0). I don't want the bad luck I encountered last time to happen again."

"Priest, have you experienced the out-of-control incident of the unknowable relic?"

When the priest came to the second floor panting, Shad's voice came from the study.

"Yes, yes, it was a terrible time, it was me and Anat... Oh, I think of Anat!"

The old priest said in surprise, and walked through the living room to the study with smooth breathing:

"The unknowable relic [Time of Backtracking] has an hourglass on the outside and silver sand inside. This thing caused the Tobesk area to cycle repeatedly within a day, and as the number of cycles increased, the area covered It's getting bigger and bigger. When she found me, the range of influence of the relic has almost reached the southern border of the kingdom."

"Um?"

Xia De's head protruded from the door of the study:

"Time loop? This kind of thing, you two can solve it?"

"Mainly Anat, she is completely immune to this kind of time reset, and can memorize the content of each cycle. She tried 8 times by herself, but failed to find the relic and contain it within 24 hours, so she asked me to help .”

The priest is slightly proud:

"Although I only have the second ring, after knocking out Bishop Owen and stuffing it into the broom cabinet, I can mobilize the ring warlocks in the entire Dawn Church in the name of finding the missing bishop."

He walked into the study and saw Xia De walking towards the door with a huge rolled up map:

"Priest, there is no need to come to the study room. Please help to open the door leading to the second room on the wall of the living room. This map can only be fully unfolded next door... Then what do you do with that unknown relic Is it? Such a tricky thing, was it sold to the academy after containment?"

"No, no, Anat thinks, how can I get rid of an unknowable relic with great difficulty? The hourglass was placed in the church. I dug up the floor under the statue and buried the hourglass under the statue's feet. Prevent it from getting out of control again. Speaking of it, Anat saved the world that time."

The priest said, opened the door and walked into the second room first.

"Priest, you...have an idea. Doesn't that count as blasphemy?"

"Of course not. I took the initiative to use the power of my lord to suppress an unknowable relic. If this matter can be revealed, the church will sanctify me after my death."

The priest said proudly, and together with Xia De, spread out the map that Miss Galina rated as "military grade" on the floor.

"But Xia De, don't tell anyone what I just told you. I promised Anat that I would never tell anyone."

The priest reminded with some worry:

"This time I encountered this incident, and you and Anat have a very good relationship, so I will tell you."

"No problem priest."

Shad squatted down, looking down at the map of the southern region of Tobesk, while explaining to Priest Augustus what the [Dark Realm] was. Although the priest is not a ring magician of the church, he has heard of this dangerous angel-level relic that appeared in the Tobesk parish, so Shad doesn't need to waste too much time.

"However, why are you not affected by [Dark Domain]?"

The priest stood behind Shad and asked doubtfully.

"I'm not completely unaffected, but less affected. When I woke up this morning, I was thinking that I was waiting for someone, but I just couldn't remember. When you knocked on the door downstairs, I don't know How to blurt out 'Luvia is here' before realizing I'm waiting for her... Ha, I thought I was falling asleep."

Shad explained it this way, and the priest nodded, accepting the statement:

"However, I really can't think of the reason why Anat is not affected by [Time of Cycle]. In my impression, she doesn't have any power of time."

The priest muttered under his breath, a question Shad knew the answer to.

When kissing Luvia under the moon, "she" reminded Shad in a puzzled way that Luvia Fiocchi Anat was cursed by time. The mighty power of any time has nothing to do with her, and the damage of time will be more obvious on her.

Probably the cycle of time can also be regarded as a kind of power of time.

Although Xia De slandered "her" for being puzzled, the voice in his ear still helped Xia De, and together with Priest Augustus, compared the current map, compared with what Xia De saw last time, it disappeared. How big the area is.

The situation was better than Shad thought, and the urban areas were not affected. When I heard the news of this relic with Dorothy at the Opera House a month ago, [Dark Realm] just swallowed up a small town in the southeast of Tobesk, this inspection, the part that disappeared on the map, has been North and west, it expanded to the southern outskirts of Tobesk.

Even Miss Galina's manor is included.

This shows that the relics that have been basically controlled have new changes, but the changes are not particularly large. This is very likely, and it has something to do with the approach of the chosen one of [Darkness].

This situation should have occurred within a few hours, because Xia De had studied the terrain in the southeast of the city on a simple map before going to bed in the early morning, and everything was normal then.

“[Dark Realm] got out of control, and then got under control again.”

Priest Augustus made the same judgment as Shad.

"Yes, the assailant that the Church is after must have done something."

Xia De stood up and looked at the map at his feet:

"Priest, I'm going to do something that should be done by me. Please inform the priest about the loss of control of the relic... Well, they must know that I look down on the Orthodox Church too much."

Shad shook his head.

Priest Augustus frowned and looked at Shad:

"What are you going to do?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you about this."

"Is it related to the demon you asked? Is it related to [Dark Realm]?"

"Yes."

Xia De nodded:

"And Luvia is probably in that area, I'm going to rescue her. Priest, you don't have to stop me, and you don't have to follow me, I'm ready. Don't forget what I did in Lakeview Manor, I can use that power again."

The two returned to the living room of Room 1. The priest watched Xia De put away the things on the coffee table and prepared to leave. The old man hesitated to speak:

"Well, at my age, even if I follow you, I probably won't be of much help...Xia De."

"What's wrong?"

The stranger looked at the old priest who suddenly raised his voice in surprise.

"Darkness has never been invincible. I have always believed that the human heart is darkness at first and needs to be purified through faith, but I also believe that even the deepest darkness will definitely meet someone who can swallow it."

Priest Augustus looked serious:

"Next, please close your eyes and don't look directly at me. Before you leave, I can give you some blessings and strength. Detective, if your trip is a righteous one, you will be blessed by the gods."

Xia De originally hugged the cat, intending to throw it on the sofa, and then close the lid of the [God's Gift Box]. Hearing the priest say this, he put the cat down:

"What do you want to do...well, I trust you."

He stood by the tea table and closed his eyes, and then the air around him began to flow, and he seemed to hear the sound of wings flapping in his ears.

Shad understood, and the priest spread his wings.

The cold finger suddenly touched Xia De's forehead. A chill that almost froze the soul entered Shad's forehead from the fingertips of Priest Augustus, making him almost unable to bear the trembling from this penetrating chill.

[Outlander, you feel the "whisper". 】

[This is the power of death. Such a splendor, such a beauty, such a dazzling death. 】

She was whispering softly, as if singing.

"alright."

Withdrawing his fingers, Priest Augustus said in a weak tone.

Xia De opened his eyes and saw the priest sitting down on the sofa with a pale face.

"Priest, you are..."

"I'm fine."

The old man waved his hand with difficulty, the wrinkles on his face were more obvious than ever before, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't seem to be all right:

"I'm too old, Xia De, and I can't go with you. The blessing just now has no effect. It can only protect you from those dark influences after entering the range of influence of the relic."

Xia De has not yet obtained the special amulet made by the church. He originally wanted to rely on his divinity to resist the influence of the relic as he did when he went deep into the [Fishbone Pirate Ship], but he did not expect the priest to give him convenience.

"Are you really all right?"

"It's really fine, I just want to take a break, I'm too old, I can't compare to you young people."

His tone was still weak, seeing that Xia De wanted to treat him, he waved his hand again:

"I'm exhausted, not injured. Go quickly, Xia De, be careful, don't think that with the blessing I give you, there is no danger.

You have to remember that it is courage and strength to overcome darkness, not light. Light and darkness are one, darkness is also power, and darkness is never equal to evil. "

The priest confessed that this kind of rhetoric is very suitable for the identity of the old priest of [Church of Light and Shadow].

"I remember."

Xia De nodded, turned around and covered the [God's Gift Box] on the coffee table, and put it into the shoulder bag he sewed.

Priest Augustus obviously didn't know what it was.

After tidying up, I put the backpack on my back, and then realized that Mia, who was still on the coffee table just now, was gone. The cat probably ran to the second room to sharpen its claws along the open door.

Xia De tried to shout a few times, but the orange cat didn't trot to appear. Because time was tight, he didn't go looking for Miya anymore, anyway, it wouldn't be in any danger if it stayed at home.

"Oh, by the way, Priest, what do you want to say to me?"

Xia De just remembered this matter.

"Oh, almost forgot."

Priest Augustus patted his **** face with his hands:

"Schneider asked me to inform you that today's study will be cancelled. He has important things to do out of the city, and he will probably be back very late."

"That's great, I'm sure I won't be able to go back to the city in the afternoon."

No matter how fast Shade moves in the dark realm ~lightnovelpub.net~ it will take a lot of time to go from the city center to the south of the city.

"Well, you will see Anat later, and tell her about the cancellation of today's study session. I will rest here with you, and then I will inform Louisa."

"Priest, you can rest here with peace of mind."

Shad adjusted the straps to the proper position, and threw the house key to the priest:

"Lock the door for me when you go. I'm going, then."

"Whatever you do, be careful."

The priest sighed:

"Shadows shine, shadows follow dawn. May Mr. Dawn bless you, Shad."
