Miss Samuel spread a blanket by the bonfire, Shade carefully put Miss Olan Nord down, and then asked about the extra stone platform with five grooves.

"Yes, this is the altar where the "Book of Nameless Sacrifice" is sealed. After you left, Britney and I managed to get it here."

The stone altar was about half a person high, and its shape was a bit like the courtyard fountain that Shad had seen in Miss Galina's manor.

Around the circular altar are five equally spaced grooves, and in the middle of the altar is a raised square stone, and the "Book of Unknown Sacrifice" should be inside.

Miss Samuel handed the bottle containing the tinder to Xia De, then put her hand into her robe, and handed him the relic [the corpse of the sun bug]. It seemed that she really used this thing as a warm water bag .

But Xia De didn't immediately go to pick up the five items he had prepared, but found Miya's doll from his pocket, and then restored it into a real cat with a handkerchief:

"Meow!"

The cat squatting in Xia De's hand raised its head and bathed in the firelight, let out a gentle cry, and then looked around with its amber eyes curiously.

This made Xia De really relieved. He took the risk of taking Mia into the land of death. Although Mia was in the form of a toy, Xia De was still worried that the cat would be affected. Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

Carefully put Mia on the ground, this timid cat did not dare to run around, but lay down next to Xia De's legs, observing everything around him timidly.

Miss Samuel was also healed spiritually because of the appearance of this cute little creature. She smiled and said softly:

"Is this your pet cat? Most of the witches in the academy keep pets, but we prefer magical creatures that can be used as combat pets, or owls and other birds that can deliver letters. However, this cat is so cute, it is definitely better than Pets that are practical are more popular."

She reached out to touch Mia, but was avoided by the frightened orange cat.

"It's not my cat yet, but I'm trying to keep it for myself."

Xia De said with a smile, seeing Mia made his heavy heart feel better.

The orange cat Mia, who is less than one year old so far, is usually very afraid of unfamiliar environments, but then she will show the curiosity of cats. After discovering that the only stranger here was a woman wearing glasses, it turned its attention to the two items in front of Shad, namely [the corpse of the sun bug] and the glass bottle containing the fire.

He stretched out his paw to grab it, but Xia De mistakenly thought that the cat wanted to touch the bonfire, so he hurriedly hugged it with one hand.

"Miss Samuel, do you think there's something wrong with this cat?"

Amid "her" laughter, Xia De asked this question again.

The witch of Zaras smiled lightly:

"Why, do you, like a few witches in our era, think that your pet cat will become a beautiful girl someday in the future? This kind of thinking is not acceptable. There are no potions or special relics. Cats are just It's just a cat."

Although she asked like this, she still adjusted her breathing state, and then lightly sprinkled some gray light spots on the cat being held by Xia De. The light spot also touched Shad's arm, but because it was not a real entity, there was no tactile sensation.

"A perfectly normal pet cat."

"That's good, let's get back to business. We need five items, and I went back to collect some after I left."

He began to take things out of his pockets:

"This is absolutely fine."

The sun holy emblem brooch made by Iluna was put together with the two items prepared by the witches.

"Then these five pieces, we can try them one by one."

The five items are the "parchment with sun runes imprinted" purchased from Mr. Edmond, the "antique badge that can slightly enhance the power of the sun", the "heating pebbles" presented by Miss Galina, "Suspected Sun Knight Saber Broken Sword" and "Ruby with naturally occurring sunburst blemish" from Old John.

Among them, the ruby ​​was the most expensive, and Miss Galina's two items confiscated Shad's money.

He didn't have much time, and he didn't delay any longer. Standing up and holding these items, she came to the altar. Although Miss Samuel was not in good condition, she still stood up hard and followed Shade.

Shade first stuffed the bottle containing the tinder and the relic into the two grooves of the altar, and as the items were put in, densely spread out from the circular groove toward the square stone box in the center of the altar. warm yellow lines. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two-fifths of the sun pattern.

"Meow!"

Mia looked extremely excited and wanted to break free from Xia De's embrace, but Xia De held her tightly.

"Look, Britney and I were right."

said Miss Samuel.

"After that"

The brooch made by Iluna was placed in the third groove, and denser lines covered the surface of the stone altar in front of her. Shad's guess was correct:

"Then choose two out of five, I hope my luck is not so bad."

Xia De said softly, first stuffing the ruby ​​into the groove, it didn't work. Then came the hot pebbles, as well as the cutting sword, but they didn't work either.

He immediately became nervous, as did the witch behind him.

Gu Qiang

"Miss Samuel, you will let it go next. I think my luck may be a little bit bad."

"Is this some ridiculous superstition?"

The witch asked, but she still picked up the roll of parchment from the New World of the Sixth Epoch and placed it in the groove. Warm yellow patterns slowly spread from around the groove to the center of the altar, making the sun pattern on the surface more obvious.

"Look, you really have better luck."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, and the witch took the last badge and put it in the last groove. Both of them stared there, but to no avail. Even though none of them spoke for a full ten seconds, nothing happened.

"Fortunately, there is a backup plan. Xia De, call out that god, and use my power to form a book."

Miss Samuel staggered and wanted to sit back by the bonfire. Shade was worried that she would fall, so he quickly reached out to support her. This also gave Mia a chance to jump out of Shade's arms.

"Miss Samuel, we can try to think of other ways. If you spend your last wish here, how will you leave the Dead Valley?"

He supported the weak high-ring witch, and the scholar from the Zaras Institute said helplessly:

"But do we have any other options? If we can't break the seal, we won't be able to get the "Book of Nameless Sacrifice", and the gods will not allow us to make a wish to leave."

"Think about other ways, maybe you have other things in your hands"

A burst of warm yellow light appeared behind Xia De, and the light even suppressed the light of the bonfire for an instant. Warm and sacred, Xia De couldn't use more precise words to describe the light behind him, but he really felt that for a moment, behind him was the sun.

Turning around and looking, a complete sun pattern had appeared on the surface of the altar, and as the light subsided, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone box in the center of the altar. Eventually the square stone box was completely cracked, exposing the stone slab inside.

You can see it without looking closely. On the last groove, Mia squatted there quietly, with her back to Shad and the witch, looking at the stone slab in the center of the altar.

Shad couldn't see the front of the cat, only the hair on its back and the short tail hanging down from the edge of the altar.

"this"

Before Xia De approached again, Mia ran towards the stone slab with her short legs. It sniffed its nose and sniffed, then raised its legs and stepped on it, and finally sat down on its buttocks. Xia De is very familiar with this position, every time it intends to sleep, it always uses this position to lie down.

"What's going on, what's wrong with my cat"

Xia De couldn't understand it at all, and looked at the cat in surprise. Then I went to Miss Samuel, who asked softly:

"Has this cat shown extraordinary strength?"

Shad thought for a moment:

"There's nothing special about it other than being extraordinarily smart."

Except for the power that absorbed a trace of divinity, but the divinity that Xia De used at that time came from the [Lord of the Blood Feast], and that **** had nothing to do with the "sun". Even, none of the divinity that Shad has absorbed so far is related to the sun.

"Has it ever shown any abnormalities? Like disappearing for a while occasionally, or using potions related to the sun?"

Miss Samuel asked again.

"At least when I adopted it, it wasn't. This cat was even a little timid, and was very unwilling to go out with me. As for its owner, Ms. Mia Sangold, who returned to the countryside to inherit the inheritance of her ancestors before adopting it. ordinary girl."

Miss Samuel nodded:

"Then there is only one possibility"

Shad looked at her expectantly.

"Your cat has a special bloodline, a bloodline related to the sun~lightnovelpub.net~ and the bloodline is very noble."

Shade was disappointed, the conclusion Miss Galina had said, and even Luvia had said. They all believe that Mia's high intelligence is derived from the special blood of an unknown ancestor. Maybe its paternal and maternal lines have not expressed this specialness, but in Mia's generation, the bloodline suddenly became dominant .

It's not impossible, and there are corresponding researches in the Higher Medical College of Seksese.

[So, why do you expect that there are other special things about this cat? 】

The voice in the ear also sounded at this time, Xia De couldn't give an answer, so he didn't answer:

"I will investigate the matter of this cat slowly in the future, and we will hand this over to that gray-robed old sage as soon as possible."

Xia De said, reaching out his hand to hug Mia off the slate, and then went to get the slate. But unexpectedly, the cat resisted Xia De in a rare way, lying on the stone slab, unwilling to move, which reminded Xia De of the scene of the hen lying on the nest he saw in the countryside of Fort Midhill .

It took a long time for Mia to stand up reluctantly, sweep the surface of the stone slab with her tail, and then jumped into Xia De's hand. I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia De thinks that the orange hair of this cat has become more shiny than before.

Xia De reached out and pinched the cat in his arms, first pinched the ears, then the stomach, then the paws, then the tail, and then slapped Mia. He hoped that he could pinch some new clues about the cat from Mia, but Mia probably didn't have the characteristic of dropping a small note with just a pinch.

Reaching out to take the stone slab, the altar immediately collapsed. The stone material scattered into a pile of dust, and the three items that were originally in the groove, except for the relic [the corpse of the sun bug], all turned into dust.

Shad loses the brooch Iruna made again.
