"How does it feel to be consumed?"

Miss Sylvia, who squinted her eyes, asked by the wall, and Shad, who maintained the spell-casting action, replied:

"The consumption is not very large, at least not if it is not attacked."

The "divine afterglow" state enhances all of Shade's thaumaturgy and incantations. The enhancement of [Heathon's Seal] is not to make the thaumaturgy that cannot be moved originally, but to make the shield with a fixed protective volume expandable. bigger.

[Heathon's Sign] does not limit the number of people the user can protect other than himself, but the volume of the shield summoned by the sign itself is a fixed value. Basically, it is very difficult to completely protect two adults hugging each other. But for Shad, he can expand the size of the shield by paying extra spirits. This kind of expansion also has an upper limit, but it is more than enough to protect the two Xia De who stand side by side.

Therefore, the enhancement of the "divine afterglow" to the thaumaturgy [Seal of Heaton] makes the value of thaumaturgy even greater. When Xia De demonstrated the thaumaturgy, the volume of the golden shield exceeded the recorded scale, but Miss Sylvia didn't seem to see this strange change, and continued to say to Xia De:

"Next, try the defense strength, don't worry, I will control the strength."

She is very enthusiastic about this kind of testing.

Next, she used the stone thrown lightly, Miya who was walking slowly, Shad's revolver, the stone thrown with all her strength, the fireball drawn by the spell [manipulating flames], and the clerical level that the witch carried with her. The relic [anesthesia pocket watch] and the thaumaturgy [space cutting] test the strength of the seal.

The firearms were completely unable to defeat the golden shield, but only caused some ripples on the surface;

The cat slowly walked towards Shade, scratched the shield a few times with its paws, but failed to pass through;

A stone thrown lightly is similar to hitting a wall, while a stone thrown with all strength will be broken into powder when it touches the shield due to the strength of the stone itself;

The anesthetic needle fired by the relic [anesthesia pocket watch] and Shade's shield died together, but this relic itself is not known for its attack power;

The fireball output by the witch's control has the best effect. If Miss Sylvia hadn't stopped in time, not only Shad would have been almost blown up, but there might be an extra deep pit in his basement;

As for [Space Cutting], [Sign of Heaton] has no protective effect on space power. Miss Sylvia, who is good at space power, had expected this long ago, so under her precise control, the power of the thaumaturgy [Space Cut] only cut through Shad's coat without leaving any mark on the skin.

As for the second effect of [Sign of Heaton], that is, the spell is released the moment the attack touches the shield, and the broken shield will cause more powerful burst damage to the enemy. Xia De didn't try this effect, firstly because the timing was difficult to grasp and he needed a lot of practice, and secondly because he was worried that the so-called "burst damage" would directly blow up his basement.

Although the space has been cleared, there are still compartments for storing potion snowdrifts in the basement, as well as his simple potion alchemy workshop. He doesn't want to damage his house for practicing thaumaturgy. Miss Galina's manor has plenty of space for He practiced, and if he couldn't do it, he could go to Lengshui Port to find trouble with the murlocs.

"Overall, it's pretty much perfect thaumaturgy, other than not being able to move while casting the spell."

When he came out of the basement, Xia De hugged the cat and praised Miss Sylvia, and the young witch chuckled:

"This is the signature thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. It has been passed down for countless ages. But when you use it, don't be discovered by the church. Under normal circumstances, this thaumaturgy will not leak out. After all, learning its core material, It was the parchment you burned at the end of the ceremony, and the Church of the Sun has a number for each parchment."

Of course, the witch didn't ask Xia De where he got the parchment that recorded the ritual information. But Xia De always felt that Miss Sylvia had already guessed the truth, but she didn't say it.

Just like the first visit last week, Ms. Silvia did not leave the Saint Teresa Square that night. She discussed with Xia De the paper that Xia De had given to the Old God until late at night. Miss Sylvia even planned to publish the paper and let Xia De be the first author.

In addition to discussing papers, after learning that Xia De is preparing for the end-of-year exam week, she also enthusiastically helped Xia De answer some academic questions, and helped Xia De analyze the ring magician system he is currently building.

Miss Sylvia thinks that Shade's low four-ring structure, although not based on a certain spirit rune, at least has learned thaumaturgy comprehensively enough, and has also found his own way of fighting. For [Spatial Stability Aura] and [Ragley's Jump], she also gave Shad more suggestions on how to use it, and even suggested that Shad try to practice and carry a living body to perform [Ragley's Jump].

"This thaumaturgy is not allowed to bring other individuals, but just like you expand the scope of thaumaturgy, when you can use your own power to change thaumaturgy, you will find that some of the defects of thaumaturgy can actually be avoided.

The incantation [Echo of Blood] you mentioned is sublimated into the thaumaturgy [Echo of Blood], which is the expression of artificially changing the effect of the spell. But I don't recommend you to try to bring people directly, maybe you can start with ants, I will give you some suggestions for casting spells, and then tell you about an auxiliary potion. Even if you can't jump with a living body in the fourth ring, you should be able to learn this technique when you enter the middle ring. "

Miss Sylvia still didn't seem to give up on cultivating Shad as her apprentice, but she didn't take the initiative to mention this, but enthusiastically gave Shad any help he needed.

Xia De never accepted other people's favors for nothing, but Miss Sylvia just smiled and said that she could accept Xia De's breakfast tomorrow morning as a thank you. Xia De really wanted to let Miss Sylvia choose an accessory from the jewelry box, but he didn't do it in the end, because it would make him look too utilitarian.

So before the end of the night, Xia De took the initiative to talk to the witch about his adventures in Huntington. He didn't mention the angel, but said that he had found the "Goddess of the Lake", and then he talked about [Aikenola's Arrow of Knowledge] as the second thing that had nothing to do with it:

"I snatched it from the [Pantanal Voodoo Society] and tried to shoot it. But those ring magicians were running so fast, I just drew the bow and didn't find a chance to shoot the arrow. It felt really bad , it's like... tens of thousands of little miya are crawling on her body."

[Isn't it a few thousand? 】

"I can understand this feeling. After accumulating strength and forcibly terminating it, if you use thaumaturgy instead of relics, it may hurt your body."

The witch on the sofa in the middle of the night looked at the young outsider, and grabbed his wrist abruptly:

"Well, what's the matter?"

Xia De asked, Miss Sylvia shook her head with a smile:

"Nothing, just intrigued by your story."

In short, the young witch seems to be completely familiar with Xia De's character. After breakfast on Wednesday morning, when Miss Sylvia was seen off at the door, outsiders had to admit the wisdom and talent of the witches. People are amazed.

Since [Thief Jack] was still not caught, when Xia De went to Midhill Castle that day, he took Miya with him.

Walking out of the disused tower of Xikar Mountain, facing the cold winter wind in the mountain, he was surprised to see the snow-covered mountain forest and the profuse snowflakes falling from the sky, dyeing the whole mountain white.

"It's snowing at Fort Midhill too! Oh, the snow has already covered the ground."

Not only is Mount Xical covered in heavy snow, but it was only discovered after descending the mountain that the interior of Fort Midhill has also turned into a snow-covered appearance. Xia De inquired with the newspaper boy in old cotton coats, only to find out that this was not the first snow this week.

The sprinkling of snow has dressed the city in silver, and it really heralds the arrival of winter.

Xia De first went to the House of the Blind in Luf Lane to deliver a letter to Sister Devlin, and then went to the Cassandra Auction House to wait for news from the nun.

The snow will not affect the business of the auction house. There are still people coming and going on the Santa Carla Avenue in the city center, and there is an endless stream of gentlemen entering and leaving the auction house. When Xia De got off the carriage, someone was melting snow at the door. People in this era certainly did not have the luxury of using salt to speed up the melting of snow, nor did auction houses try to use purely human power to shovel snow and ice.

A robust servant is pushing a small-power steam engine to the door. After connecting the indoor pipes, the hot steam generated by the steam engine is used to sweep the ground to the ground. Quickly remove the snow that has melted from the ground.

Probably only a rich person like Granny Cassandra can clear the snow in such a luxurious way. But the people passing by seemed to be familiar with this scene, and only a few people looked around like Xia De, watching the black smoke from the steam engine drifting into the sky in the snow.

The spray of hot steam made the temperature at the entrance of the auction house higher than the surrounding area, but what was really warm was inside the auction house. Shade, who was wearing a thick overcoat, even felt a little hot when he walked in. The heating of Cassandra Auction House is definitely not the standard of urban uniform heating.

On this snowy day, the owners of the auction house are all here. Shade first saw the Witch Apprentice who came down the stairs in a hurry after hearing that he was coming, Miss Rita Swift with beautiful flaxen hair, and then saw Helen and Grace who were participating in the auction on the second floor. lace.

On the contrary, Granny Cassandra did not show up until just before lunch. It was the end of 1853. Although the old witch did not have to check the accounts in person, she still had to meet the representatives sent by the auction house in various branches of the Old Continent. One of the most important jobs of the year.

At noon, the blind nun also came in the snow. The six of them had lunch together. During the dinner, Xia De heard that Sister Devlin's "Snake Heart Hospital" was being ordered in the big cities around the Pantanal with the help of Cassandra Auction House. Establish.

Relying on the already existing Snake Heart Hospital, Sister Devlin plans to expand the influence of the [Spiritual Order] to the entire area around the Great Swamp. Therefore, not only Huntington, the city of red wine, but even more cities including the capital of the kingdom, Willondale, are the next key development targets of [Snake Heart Hospital].

Since the Battle of Fort Midhill, the Hill City has regained its former peace and tranquility. After the dangerous and turbulent autumn, the city in winter returned to the order dominated by ordinary people.

Snow was falling outside the window, and the atmosphere in the restaurant on the third floor was pleasant. Sister Devlin mentioned the strange dark cloud that appeared in Huntington City yesterday~lightnovelpub.net~ but no one could explain this. The old witch heard about Tobesk, so she also asked Shad to be the fourth search progress.

Seeing that the first snowfall of the year had already fallen, the twin girls asked Xia De together if they could visit No. 6, Plaza Saint Teresa today.

Whether it's Grace in the white dress or Helen in the black dress, the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls are quite excited. But Xia De regretfully told them:

"I'm sorry, girls. Something is going on on my block tonight. Some humanoid relic has invaded there and is trying to steal my property and my neighbors' property. I can't involve you in this, If you want to visit my house, as a matter of fact, girls, it's okay if it's not today."

Helen, who was wearing a black dress, glanced at her sister, and there were different expressions on the two identical delicate faces. Grace seemed to accept Shad's statement, while Helen asked curiously:

"Sir, what level of relic is it?"

"Sage-level relic [Jack the Thief]."

"Oh, that's only sage class, sir, we can help guard the house."

Grace tugged Shade's sleeve and said, and Grandma Cassandra watched the scene with a smile.

"No no, girls, your injuries are not healed yet, and [Thief Jack] is stronger when he is strong. I know you are stronger than him, but you are not in your prime. If I ask you to help me guard the house, it is hard to imagine What will happen then."

Xia De patiently explained that although Grace pretended not to care, she still sighed lightly, while Helen looked unhappy. But there is no way, Xia De really does not want the Red Butterfly Twins, who have finally gained freedom and a peaceful life, to be involved in disputes again because of him.
