The latest website: When Shade changed his clothes and returned to the living room with the dozing cat in his arms, Luvia had already brought the teapot. In three months, the high-grade black tea left by Detective Sparrow has been exhausted, but in order to commemorate the detective, Xia De specially found a shop selling the same tea in the city and bought some, so the current black tea is still It's that kind of tea. . .

"In general, from the people I've met, I suspect that Priest Augustus and Sister Divelin from the Spiritual Order are the chosen ones. Such suspicions are groundless and of little value."

Xia De told what he had gained, and put the only blood money left on the table. Luvia played with the [upright coin] in her hand, and quietly listened to Shade's story before and after he rescued Priest Augustus:

"The only thing that can be determined now is that the third candidate is the 'dead' candidate."

She summed it up and looked at the coin in her hand:

"I've tried it during the day, and this coin is very poorly compatible with my divination, and I can't get much out of it."

After all, the main characteristic of that [upright coin] is the upright state of the coin, not its tradability.

The current situation is different from the "dark" candidates more than a month ago. At that time, Shade got a full bag of special coins from the [Fishbone Pirate Ship], but now they only have two coins in their hands, and All three of them believed that the blood money should not be spent at will.

"I applied to the church for currency relics some time ago, and I think there should be results this week."

Iluna reminded, but if there are only one or two pieces, it is still impossible to find the chosen one as accurately as last time.

"Then the most recent arrangement is that I try my luck in Fort Midhill, learn about local folklore and legends, monitor life and death, and prepare for what happens next. The two of you are responsible for finding coins, or listening to the Prophet Association and Church news."

Shad said:

"Currently, the "Whispering Poetry" that contains information about the chosen ones is at least partly in the hands of the Church of the Five Gods, and the college should only know very little information."

He looked at Iluna, who nodded:

"No problem, I will try my best to find out the news this week. If the church makes clear about the chosen one, it will also let me go to Midhill Castle. Also, Shad, here is this for you."

She took out the familiar brooch with the holy emblem of the sun pattern from her handbag:

"The commotion caused by Fort Midsill should be even greater than the commotion in Darkness last month. The matter of "Whispering Verses" will become more and more important in the material world, Shad, you are in Mead Fort Sill must act with caution."

"I understand that I have friends in the local area who can help me."

Xia De nodded, took the brooch, and Mia immediately looked at it with wide eyes. Aside from the two rings on its tail, this cat has always been interested in items related to the power of the sun... Like taking a nap in the sun, for example.

Xia De looked at Luvia again:

"In addition, can you find some information about the [Spiritual Order] in the Prophet Association? I want to know whether the emergence of the order is related to the local tradition of worshiping death, worshiping the moon, and worshiping mountains."

The purpose of not letting Iluna help with the investigation is to prevent the church from paying attention to the blind nuns and monks.

Luvia nodded:

"Speaking of this reminds me that the Spiritual Order does worship death. Maybe apart from the Sister Devlin you mentioned, there are still people in the order related to [Death]."

"I will pay attention, but I don't think it will go well. After all, I have no reason to pay attention to the talent of every member of the sect... Oh, and, do any of you know Phoenix?"

Xia De asked suddenly, briefly talked about his experience in the afternoon, and then picked up the red stone that no one knew what material it was made of. There is no sunlight now, but Iluna can simulate the sun's rays, allowing the three to see the birds in the red stone.

"Miss Feilianna's reverberation contains some basic knowledge about alien species. I only know this kind of creature, which can be resurrected in fire."

"I don't know much about this creature, but I remember that when I drew the divination card at the beginning of the month, a phoenix appeared."

Luvia reminded, Shad nodded.

Shade is 【Phoenix】, Luvia is 【Broken Destiny】, the doctor is 【Lucky】, Priest Augustus is 【Death】, Dorothy is 【Red Butterfly】.

"I know!"

Iluna gave an answer that Xia De didn't expect. Seeing that the other two were looking at her, the seventeen-year-old girl was a little embarrassed:

"The intention of the phoenix is ​​related to the sun, so our church has a lot of knowledge about the phoenix. It's just that the phoenix is ​​an alien creature that has disappeared. I don't know whether it has all left the material world or is hiding there. The church believes Of the three major thaumaturgy academies, the Higher Medical College of Serkses should have relevant information, maybe they know where all the phoenixes have gone.”

"Do you think that the ancient who sealed the passage on the top of the mountain in the narrow space is the phoenix?"

Luvia asked Xia De, Xia De nodded:

"It's just a guess."

The three of them discussed the matter of the third candidate until late at night, and the [upright coin] was returned to Xia De by Luvia, after all, it was useless for her to hold it.

Iluna left at ten o'clock in the evening, and she still had tasks the next day. Luvia did not leave, and her pile of stargazing instruments was finally installed after two days of busy work, so before the end of the best stargazing time in autumn, that is, in the last half a month, she went to Spend the night here at Shard. Today is the first day of stargazing, because she starts working at ten o'clock, so she will probably be busy until around one o'clock in the morning.

The beds on the first floor of No. 6 Place Saint-Andrés have been packed, and Luvia can use them at any time, so Xia De greeted the female fortune teller, and then returned to the bedroom after washing.

Now I was copying the story of "Slumbering Princess" given by Leiziya, and then flipped through the next book of spiritual runes "Book of Crazy Thunder" guided by the academy.

Leaving the desk at eleven o'clock and going to bed, hot tea was placed on the bedside table, Xia De hugged the cat under the gas lamp above the bed and read for a while his second grade textbook "The Great Gone: The Old Gods". It is twice as thick as ordinary red bricks, and the lights are turned off to go to bed around twelve o'clock.

To-morrow he intended to leave for Midhill Castle at nine o'clock in the morning, as the priest had agreed to meet at ten o'clock. After that, you can go around the city on the mountain, whether it's to visit the local folklorist, or to find the relic sword.

After closing his eyes, the foreigner who slept well quickly fell asleep, and silence descended on this bedroom. After an unknown amount of time, Miya, who was curled up beside the pillow, suddenly opened her eyes. Her big amber eyes seemed to be shining in the darkness.

It stood up at once, first sharpened its paws on Xia De's pillow seriously, and then uttered a sharp cry towards the door:

"Meow ~"

"What's wrong?"

Xia De, who was very vigilant, sat up abruptly, with the light of the silver moon shining on his right hand to shine on the door of the bedroom, and with his left hand, he drew out the moonlight sword directly in front of him. And under that light was a purple-eyed girl in pajamas.

The white dress is very light and somewhat unsuitable for this season, but the little white flower pinned to her ear is very beautiful:

"Young knight, I'm a poor girl passing by here. It's a bit cold tonight, do you mind if I stay warm with you?"

Luvia tilted her head and said.

"Um......"

The silver moon light in Xia De's right hand was still shining, but the sword in his left hand turned into dots of silver light and disappeared, and he noticed that Luvia was actually barefoot.

"Oh, handsome knight, please grant my request, it is really cold outside."

She said with a smile, those purple eyes reflected the light from Xia De's fingertips, and the purple light in the darkness was very beautiful. Although her actual age is older than that of the outsider's body, Luvia is really girly.

Speaking of which, among the girls Xia De knows so far, the only ones who are younger than him are the seventeen-year-old Iluna and the sixteen-year-old Princess Agelina.

"Is this a dream or reality?"

Xia De asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ reality in his heart, the kind of reality you expected. 】

"She" is chuckling.

The purple-eyed girl walked to the door, put her hands behind her back, leaned against the door, and closed the bedroom door little by little. Her white feet stepped on the floor and made a very interesting sound:

"Knight, are you willing to touch my darkness tonight?"

Shad had heard of this metaphor, and there was such an argument in the "The Queen and Her Lovers" left by Detective Sparrow, and he studied that book very thoroughly.

Scattering the moonlight on his fingertips, he looked at the cat at hand, then at the closed bedroom door, and finally at the closet by the wall.

So Mia spent the rest of the night in the closet.
