"Blood Feast of..."

Xia De by the window suddenly thought of the answer.

"Detective, don't say it."

The doctor stopped Shad's bold behavior:

"In short, no matter why you want to taste the devil's blood, drinking a small amount should not be a big problem for a third-ring warlock like you. At most, the esophagus will be corroded or you will be insane for a while. Moreover, you don't have 'gluttony' itself. Power? It will keep you safer."

"What about ordinary people?"

The detailed rules of the last reception are not yet known, but the blood that Xia De brought seems to be distributed to everyone. If it's too dangerous, he doesn't carry demon blood. If it is a general danger, he will still take it. Sharing a few types of blood will definitely not last half an hour, and the vampire **** will definitely continue the reception until the last second before announcing the end, so Xia De also needs to bring a few more for safety. .

"It's hard to say, after all, no one has tried it."

The doctor scratched his head:

"Shad, what on earth are you going to do? Are there demons over there at Fort Midhill?"

"not yet."

Xia De replied casually, still hesitating in his heart, whether to go to the past time with the blood of the devil.

Before Rezia used Dorothy's body in the evening to continue her lesson on the fairy tale of "The Sleeping Princess" for Shad, Dorothy would use the afternoon to prepare the ritual matrix in advance in the attic of Shad's home, And other arrangements that can increase the probability of success of the ceremony, so I still left the doctor's clinic with Xia De.

And tonight Luvia is still the same as yesterday, she will not come to the third floor of Xia De's house to watch the stars, so she said goodbye to Xia De at the doctor's clinic.

Overcast clouds obscured the night sky in Tobesk, making visibility poor. Fortunately, she had predicted the weather in advance, knowing that this rainy weather would end by the weekend, and there would be good weather in the next week or two.

"The Soothsayers could actually increase the sales of their Threepenny paper by publishing extremely accurate weather forecasts, and on the pretext of their association with universities."

This was what Shad said when he helped Dorothy move a whole box of matches to the attic in the afternoon, and the cat squatted on the box, as if it wanted to get in as soon as Shad opened the box.

"The Prophet Association has indeed done this, but they quickly discovered that as long as the weather forecast is published, the accuracy will drop to a very pitiful level. But as long as it is not published, the accuracy of weather forecasting is at a normal level."

As Dorothy spoke, she followed Shade, a high-pressure fire extinguisher in hand.

It was a brass-colored bottle about the length of a normal man's forearm, and the surface was polished so that it could almost be used as a mirror. With a purely mechanical structure, Xia De doesn't know the internal principles, but in the era of the steam industry that has mastered the steam bomb technology, it is still very simple to use the release of high-pressure steam to spray chemicals for fire extinguishing.

Dorothy's promotion ceremony required a lot of matches, and in order to prevent another owner from being burned to death in this rumored "haunted house", Dorothy asked Rezia to help get several bottles of fire extinguishers.

Judging from the Cavendish family crest on the bottom of the bottle, it is very likely that Rezia was moved out of the warehouse of the Yodel Palace.

"Speaking of which, did you go to Old John and ask him to help make the new red butterfly?"

Climbing up the stairs leading to the attic, Shad put the cardboard box full of matches on the highest shelf in the attic. Seeing that he didn't intend to open the box, Mia was very disappointed, she squatted on the cardboard box and couldn't get down.

"Go ahead, Rezia gave John a money order for 3,000 pounds directly..."

"How many?"

Xia De looked at the blonde girl who was placing the fire extinguisher in surprise:

"When I asked Papa John to make the original red butterfly, he only charged £1 for the manual and material costs."

"So, it can only make me and Leiziya look at each other from a distance for a short time."

Dorothy bent down, hooked up the half red butterfly pendant on her neck with her little finger, and shook it to Shade:

"Rezia won't be satisfied with just making us look at each other."

"What is she going to do?"

"We also know that it is unrealistic for us to completely ignore the strangeness of the soul and approach it at will with only alchemy items."

Dorothy straightened up and clapped her hands, and then Shad and Shad went downstairs to carry other things. Seeing that Xia De left, Mia reluctantly left the cardboard box that it liked very much, and followed with her short legs.

"Lecia thinks that at least we need to be able to contact her, even if it's just for a second."

"It's just that, she is really rich."

Shad sighed.

"Yes, the life of Her Royal Highness is beyond our imagination."

Dorothy was a little sad, but probably not because of the money

s reason.

Before dawn on Sunday is the time when Shade can attend the fifth era 3014 reception for the last time, and the blood he got so far is only the blood of the unfortunate who was struck by lightning bought from Old John, and the blood from Kassand The blood of Sakator the Devourer, the evil spirit obtained from Granny La.

In order to be able to use the key on time tomorrow morning, after helping Dorothy move the box, Shade set off for Midhill Castle at four o'clock in the afternoon, intending to go to the House of the Blind to take the blood promised by Sister Divelin .

At the same time, he also promised Dorothy that he could have dinner together in the evening, which made the female writer who still had to work smile.

Because the purpose of going to Fort Midhill this time was purely to get things, and there would be no danger, so Shade also brought the cat who stayed at home and was unwilling to move.

Compared with the astonishment when she saw the sea for the first time, after the orange cat Mia was restored from a doll to a real cat, she didn't have much reaction to Xical Mountain and the forest. Probably to this cat, there is not much difference between dense urban buildings and dense trees.

Taking the cat all the way down the mountain, there is no fog on Xikar Mountain today, so Xia De did not fight the evil spirit. On the contrary, the cat held by Xia De kept looking around in the mountains, and finally even raised his head to the sky and "meow~", almost making Xia De think that his cat had turned into a wolf.

"Do you see any danger?"

He stood vigilantly in the forest and observed his surroundings, but let alone danger, he didn't even find ants under his feet:

"Don't bark. If you really attract wolves, don't get into my arms even if you're scared to death."

He patted Mia's head, and the orange cat raised its head and rubbed against Xia De's hand with its side face, but it was still very alert to the surroundings, and its big amber eyes continued to look around.

After entering the city, it was almost five o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the House of the Blind in Luf Lane. Unexpectedly, Sister Divelin was also here. When Xia De carried the cat and was led by the servants to the reception room on the third floor, Ms. Michelle, whose eyes were covered with cloth strips, was sitting opposite Sister Divelin. .

"Good afternoon, Mr. Watson."

Ms. Michel got up to say hello, while Sister Divelin sat there, nodding calmly:

"good afternoon."

The nun wearing a silver tiara turned around and seemed to be looking at the cat in Shad's arms, but said nothing, but told Ms. Michelle to leave temporarily, she had something to talk to Shad.

"This is the blood promised to you."

He took out a silver ampoule from the pocket of the gray-black nun's robe and handed it to Xia De. Instead of being cold to the touch, the metal bottle was warm to the touch. Apart from an eye-shaped emblem on the surface of the bottle, the bottle is smooth throughout. And the "eye-shaped emblem" is the emblem of the [Spiritual Religion].

At the mouth of the bottle is a mass of red silk cloth, with a somewhat heavy sterling silver stopper wrapped inside.

Just this exquisitely crafted silver bottle looks quite valuable, but Xia De didn't have the nerve to ask the real value of the bottle:

"Whose blood is this?"

"The blood of some magical creatures that can survive in magma, each population took a drop and mixed it into this bottle of blood. Although it is not very special, I think this bottle of blood should contain an entire underground magma biome .”

The nun said calmly.

"What will happen if you drink it?"

Xia De asked this question again, Sister Divelin was not as puzzled as Dr. Schneider, she still folded her hands on her lap:

"I have processed this blood in advance. Their temperature does not exceed 100 degrees, so after drinking it will only burn your mouth and esophagus. But even if you don't worry about being burned, you can't drink too much. Excessive exposure to the blood of magma creatures will definitely cause mental distress Manic changes."

"I see."

Xia De put the bottle away, picked up the curious cat who wanted to know what it was, and put it on his lap:

"You seem to have something else you want to tell me."

"Yes, I want to ask you for help. Mr. Hamilton, do you know the rumored little boy in this city who can see the date of death of all things?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows:

"I know, the small local organisation, the Crow Club. I've made an appointment to visit him on Sunday morning, seven days from now...I'm a little curious what he'll see in me death."

The nun nodded:

"I hope you can go with me, and I will pretend to be your friend. The order is very interested in that little boy, but the Crow Club also knows the existence of blind nuns, and I need the cooperation of the outlander ring warlocks. "

[Spiritual Religion] itself is a special organization that worships nature and death, so it is easy to understand that it is interested in that boy.

"Are you going there yourself?"

Xia De asked curiously:

"This kind of thing, can't let the other high-ring warlocks in the order do it?

? I didn't expect you to meet him in person. "

"I have time, so I'll go."

She didn't want to explain further, so Xia De didn't ask again:

"So where will I find you next Sunday? The club? Here? Or where is Grandma Cassandra?"

"It's fine here, and please don't tell the witch about this."

said the nun, then hesitated:

"I've been curious since just now, where did your cat come from?"

"Mia?"

Xia De picked up the sleepy cat, and the cat lazily barked at the nun.

He introduced with a smile:

"This is actually someone else's cat. It was fostered by me. Because it ate some... special materials, it unexpectedly has very high intelligence. How, can you find out what's special about it?"

Xia De asked with some excitement. So far, he has asked many people to check Mia, but everyone thinks that this cat is really just an ordinary cat:

"Please wait."

The nun lowered her head, and then slowly removed the silver blindfold with fine lines. The patterns on the eye patch are hard to describe, like climbing vines, like the roots of trees, but also like eyelashes next to the opened eyes.

Without the restraint of the blindfold, her untied gray and white long hair slowly spread out beside her ears, but the nun didn't mind either.

Raising her head, Sister Devlin looked at Xia De and the cat that was hugged by her waist with her dull eyes:

"I see."

Just glanced at it, then lowered his head:

"This world is indeed balanced."

"Sorry, what does that mean?"

Xia De asked, shaking Mia in his hand:

"Is there something wrong with this cat?"

"No problem, just like you, no problem."

"That's it~"

Xia De put the cat down, a little disappointed.

[Do you have to prove that the cat you raise is not a normal cat before you are satisfied? 】

"She" asked softly in Xia De's ear, Xia De thought for a while and shook his head:

"No, of course I hope Mia is all right... yes, why am I disappointed? I should be happy."

The young nun, who seemed to be in her twenties, slowly put the blindfold back on, restraining her long gray hair that hung loose. She has been using that older grammar, and what she said next after raising her head seemed even more incomprehensible:

"The catastrophe at Fort Midhill is imminent. You are an outsider to this city, Mr. Shard Hamilton."

"Is such that."

"So, outsider ~lightnovelpub.net~, have you decided to participate in the next thing?"

"I think the church should be able to solve the problem of life and death, without the help of outsiders like me."

Sister Devlin slightly pursed her lips and showed a smile. This nun rarely showed such an expression. Xia De even thought she was always in a state of expressionlessness:

"My eyes have seen some possibilities. You must be entangled with the matter of Fort Midhill."

The blind nuns of [Spiritual Religion] also have strong divination ability, so this sentence should not be just a random word.

"But the seal at the foot of the mountain has been stabilized. Granny Cassandra said that the seal on the mountainside will be resolved by the Witch Council, and the Orthodox Church will be in charge of communicating with the ancients who sealed the passage at the top of the mountain. I think the outbreak of death should be delayed for a long time."

"No, the sealed gate will open again sooner or later. The seal of the ancient witch emperor is by no means easy to find, and the passage on the top of the mountain is already in jeopardy."

the nun said softly.

Xia De frowned slightly:

"Are you saying that this disaster cannot be prevented at all?"

"No, I want to say that this city is still very dangerous. If you still want to operate here, then when you encounter danger, you can move towards the direction of the flame."

"This...is a prophecy?"

The nun hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"It can be understood in this way. But there is no need to worry too much, the church will do its best to prevent disasters from happening."

"The church is also involved in this matter? Why?"

"Because it's a responsibility."
