Another interesting incident happened during the dinner. Shade went to the bathroom halfway, washed his hands from the bathroom and walked back to the dining room, and saw Miss Swift head-on.

The young apprentice didn't bump into Shad by accident, but seemed to be waiting for him:

"Mr. Hamilton."

With her hands behind her back somewhat hesitantly, she stopped Xia De in the corridor, and when she saw no one around, she asked in a low voice:

"Did you see that Miss Sylvia?"

"Yes, that is a fine lady."

Xia De nodded, so the lady with flaxen hair asked with flickering eyes:

"We can't inquire about other big witches at will, but I remember that Miss Sylvia is not very old."

"Yes, twenty-one years old this year."

Although it is not polite to talk about the ages of ladies, because Miss Sylvia is young, Shad will give the answer.

"Your younger than us..."

Miss Swift nodded somewhat disappointed.

Although she looks about the same age as Agelina, her actual age is the same as Shade's body, that is, she is one or two years older than Miss Sylvia.

Xia De naturally knew what this young girl was thinking, so he comforted him:

"You should compare yourself to the apprentices of the great witches, not to the great witches.

Miss Sylvia's ability to become a ten-ring at such a young age is not only related to her own efforts, but also to the times... I mean, it is also related to her experience. I had an in-depth conversation with Ms. Sylvia, and I knew that it was not easy for her. Without the protection of the teacher, everything had to be faced by herself. I won't lie, of course I won't tell you that you are better than her, but sometimes people can't look too far, they have to look near and under their feet. "

Miss Swift nodded, she has always been a little unconfident:

"Ms. Cassandra intends to train me to be her successor, but I don't think I can be better than Miss Sylvia."

"Grandma Cassandra is still ten rings at hundreds of years old, and Miss Sylvia is already ten rings now. This kind of comparison is actually meaningless. Although it may be impolite to say this, Granny Cassandra Not as good as Miss Sylvia, but she is still the most respected one in the contemporary parliament."

Hearing what Xia De said, Miss Swift finally showed a little smile, and she looked at Xia De with some embarrassment:

"Sorry to hear me say these things, it must be boring, but I can't find anyone else to share these thoughts."

She is currently the only apprentice of Grandma Cassandra, so it is naturally impossible to talk about these things with those followers.

"It's okay, everyone has their own troubles, compared to your troubles are actually normal, let's go back."

he said, but Miss Swift shook her head:

"Mr. Hamilton, you go back first, I'll go back later."

Saying that, she walked towards the bathroom, then turned her head suddenly:

"Thanks."

"Is this kind of thing worthy of thanks?"

Xia De thought in surprise, and then heard "her" laugh:

[Sometimes you really have to wonder if the only one who blesses you is the God of Gamblers. 】

After dinner, the old witch took Shade, Sister Devlin, Grace Helen, and Miss Swift to the basement, to get close to the space she found for Grace and Helen, where they could be safely carried out. Transferred relics.

It was a secret keeper relic [Magician's Escape Box]. It looked like a black and dark blue metal "escape box", no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a coffin.

The box is a standard cuboid, with unidentified geometric patterns on the four sides. In addition, there are openings through both sides at the top, upper middle, middle, lower middle, and bottom, allowing sharp weapons such as swords or knives to penetrate:

"Have you ever seen a magic show?"

Grandma Cassandra asked Xia De, and Xia De recalled:

"No."

Not in this world.

"There is a very classic escape magic. The magician enters a closed box, and the people outside attack the box with weapons, but after opening the box, there is no corpse inside. At this time, the magician will use a very dramatic form of expression, from the stage. out of the corner."

Helen explained to Xia De enthusiastically, she tugged on Xia De's sleeve:

"My sister and I have seen this before, but can't remember when. Yes, if it's this relic, then it will definitely work."

Keeper-level relic [Magician's Escape Box], when any humanoid creature enters the box, close the box door, and penetrate the box with five sharp swords. , will be transferred to the pre-set "escape ceremony" location.

The specific basic matrix of the ceremony is drawn on the bottom of the box, just redraw it on the flat ground with chalk. If there are multiple escape rituals at the same time, they will be transferred to the last formed ritual.

Of course, the negative characteristics of Keeper-level relics cannot be ignored either. [Magician's Escape Box], there is a terrible undead who calls himself "Magician Wilwood", and he is very likely to be the original owner of this relic. And after the magic box became a relic, the undead was also affected by the whispering element, sublimated into an unknowable and unheard weird existence.

Anyone who uses this box to "escape" may be targeted by the magician Wilwood, and even release the undead trapped in the escape box.

Some special means, such as carrying the holy emblem of the righteous god, bathing in holy water, or engraving other powerful symbols on the skin, can effectively reduce the possibility of bumping into "Wilwood the Magician", but if you are unlucky, you can still It is possible to be entangled with him.

Strictly speaking, the main function of this relic is not to move in space, but to hear the whispers of the undead when entering the escape box and transferring, so as to obtain the weird but useful "magic" knowledge of "Magician Wilwood". Space movement is just an additional effect of the relic, but it happens to be useful to Grace and Helen.

Even though their power is sealed, they are still angel-level humanoid relics. The combination of "Wilwood the Magician" and this box can be rated as a Secret Keeper. The two are not even of comparable value, so there is no need to worry about the negative effects of the relics taking effect on them.

Everyone is a relic, so you don't have to think too much like humans.

And if a human like Sister Devlin uses this box, Granny Cassandra recommends at least a high ring to use it, and the frequency of use should not exceed once every six months.

Obtaining knowledge by listening to the whispers of "Magician Verwood" is something that will definitely happen. Even if the possibility of being entangled by the terrible whispering undead is not considered, the impact of the whispering undead on the human soul must be taken into account.

Of course, for Sister Divelin, she is the chosen one and can enter the [Space Labyrinth] unconditionally. Therefore, Xia De only needs to take the nun to touch the statue of the ancient **** in the abandoned tower of Mount Xikar first, and then use the [magician's escape box] to touch the statue of the ancient **** in the vineyard of the White River Valley, and then the nun can successfully establish two Landmark, there is no need to use this relic anymore.

It's a pity that if she wants to visit Tobesk, she still needs to wait for a similar relic to be found, or go there in person. However, nothing has happened in Tobesk that requires the presence of nuns to solve it, so there is no rush.

Granny Cassandra told about the properties of the relic, and Shade, with the help of Miss Swift, opened the box locked by nine padlocks. The inside of the case is lined with soft red wool, apparently to make the occupant more comfortable. Only the inner top of the head is not lined. Instead, there is a line of fifth era text that looks like it was cut out with nails:

[The last way to escape from this box is to die. 】

"The body couldn't escape, so the soul escaped? But his soul couldn't escape in the end."

Xia De translated the text, and then said regretfully.

Wearing a long white dress, Grace, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, tugged on Shad's sleeve like her younger sister, and said softly:

"Sir, I still remember that Helen and I went to his performance. It is said that he died alone in the box in the end, and his body was pierced by five long swords, but no one could enter that secret room, like himself Outside the box, piercing myself inside the box."

"This is also a kind of magic."

Sister Devlin said softly, while Helen tugged on Shad's sleeve and added:

"Before this magician was alive, he always wanted to get in touch with the power of mysticism to enrich and expand his magic techniques. But you also know that men in the fifth era cannot use extraordinary power, so it is difficult to judge. The death of the magician Is it because of an accident, or he really provoked those terrible existences during his exploration in the field of mysticism."

Hearing Helen's voice, Xia De stretched out his hand to touch the line of text on the top of the box, but across an era, there is no residual power for Xia De to judge:

"The stories of these relics may be more interesting than the relics themselves."

In short, relying on this [Magician's Escape Box], Grace and Helen can go to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, but they have not fully recovered from their injuries, so they plan to wait until the official winter, and then go to Tobes after the snow falls. gram.

And Sister Divelin is not in a hurry to go to Huntington City to build a new road sign now, but plans to wait for Xia De to complete the task on him before setting off together.

So, the full and busy Monday passed like this. After returning home at night, Xia De was not idle, and continued to perfect his thesis in the study. Once this kind of work is concentrated, it is easy to forget the time.

When Xia De found that he had almost finished the first draft, it was already one o'clock in the early morning of Tuesday:

"I still have to attend a wedding during the day!"

Glancing at the foggy Saint-Andrés Square outside the window at night, Xia De got up and prepared to rest. It's just that after washing up in a hurry, I found that Miya couldn't be found anywhere.

After walking around on the second floor ~lightnovelpub.net~ in the study, I saw the cat looking at the manuscript of the thesis by the moonlight:

"You can't read, what are you looking at?"

He hugged Mia with three rings on his tail, smiled and fiddled with its tail, and was glared at by Mia dissatisfied.

"Meow~"

Rubbing Xia De's arm, the young orange cat also opened its mouth and yawned.

Xia De picked up the pen casually, and wrote down a quadratic equation system on the straw paper, and the smudged ink blots listed four more answers:

"Which one is the answer? If the answer is correct, I will make you a supper."

The cat squinted and lay in Xia De's arms, without any thought of moving.

Only then did Xia De feel relieved, ready to go to rest in a good mood.
