Miss Bayas arrived just before eight o’clock. When she followed Shade upstairs, Shade noticed that her hair was still wet. After sitting down, I complained to Shade and Miss Anat:
“This afternoon our team received a temporary mission and was sent to the sewers in the north of the city to arrest a few bold guys selling contraband. Do you know the smell in Tobesk’s underground pipes?”
She made a very indescribable expression:
“It’s best that you never know. After the mission was over, I went home and took a shower for a full hour before I felt that the smell had faded.”
“I don’t smell anything strange now.”
Miss Anat said, while Shade went to the kitchen to get her some bread. Miss Bayas came here hungry, and her hair was not even dry yet.
“That’s because I wore perfume, a very expensive perfume.”
She tried to trace the shape of the perfume bottle with her hands:
“A small bottle of Kasenlik’s imported products costs 3 pounds. It was a gift I gave myself on my birthday last year. In fact, I don’t think it’s worth the price after using it.”
She took the bread from Shade, thanked her softly, and shook the bread towards Mia who was squatting on the back of the sofa. But the orange cat’s cat food is much more expensive than the cheap bread essence that Shade bought, so he won’t be attracted by this temptation at all.
“Have you finally caught someone?”
Xia De asked as he sat down.
“We were caught. Everyone was very angry at the time. When we arrested them, we deliberately and accidentally hit them hard… Just pretend you didn’t hear it.”
She waved her hand sheepishly, and Shade couldn’t help but smile.
“What contraband are they selling?”
Miss Anat asked again.
“I don’t know either. The captain refused to tell us and told us with a straight face that it was a secret. But when we arrested him, we searched him and found red salt in a small bottle. That was probably what they were planning to sell. If you encounter the dropped items recently, remember to report them to me, and I will get the rewards and share them with you.”
While Miss Bayas was eating bread, Shade and Miss Anat confirmed their respective preparations for tomorrow night.
Shad learned the key thaumaturgy [Laleg’s Leap], bought [Bordeaux Candle] from Old John for 43 pounds, and borrowed a real sage-level relic [Ancient Witch] gold necklace].
Miss Anat recovered from the weakness after paying the price for divination on Sunday. She borrowed a compass from the association to guide the direction, and borrowed a poet-level relic from her friend that could see through illusions. The appearance was A monocle, and then some steam bombs obtained from black market channels.
Steam bombs are completely useless against high-level warlocks, but they may have some effect on weak silver-eyed ones.
“However, which of your friends could actually lend you a sage-level relic?”
Looking at the jewelry box that Shade placed on the coffee table, Miss Bayas and Miss Anat were both surprised. Although there is only one level difference between the Sage level (Level 2) and the Secret Keeper level (Level 3), the preciousness of the former is self-evident:
“Even for high-level warlocks, this relic is quite attractive. The other party actually lent it to you directly? Why don’t I have such a friend?”
“Of course it’s not without cost.”
Xia De explained that he would attend a charity banquet tomorrow night.
Miss Anat and Miss Bayas did not object, but hoped that Shade could stay at the dinner party. Rather than forcefully breaking into the ruins with them, the banquet where the Zhengshen Church ensures safety is where he should be.
They were worried about Sha De’s safety, but Sha De was determined to get the gift left to him by the God of the Fifth Age.
Miss Anat took out her notepad:
“I have investigated the ruins in the past few days and made new discoveries. Since you have other arrangements, the plan needs to be readjusted. Now let me take a look at the originally planned action plan… .At the same time, we have to calibrate the pocket watch, Shade, you can do this. Oh, there are so many things, we are very busy tonight.”
She shook her head in annoyance, while Shade looked out the window at the rainy night and hesitated and suggested:
“Why don’t you stay here tonight? My house is very big. The weather outside is so bad, I don’t think there is any need to go back late at night…”
After speaking, I emphasized again:
“I didn’t say that for any other reason.”
“It doesn’t matter, you are lower level than our ring warlocks. Even if you do bad things, it won’t be your turn.”
Miss Anat waved her hands and joked, and Miss Bayas also smiled and nodded:
“You’re right, this is a good idea. But we have to go home and get a change of clothes in a while. This way, we can make sure that everyone is together before the action tomorrow night.”
However, although the house in Saint Teresa Square is large, it only has two beds. Shade’s bed in the second bedroom was the larger one, and he could put on a new bedding so that the two girls could squeeze in. As for him, he could only sleep on Detective Sparrow’s small bed.
[I thought you would have some psychological shadow on that bed. 】
“There are three ring magicians here tonight. If it is really haunted, Sparrow will definitely be the unlucky one.”
The girls stood up and prepared to go home to get a change of clothes and toiletries. Shade also stood up and thought of another thing:
“Oh, speaking of which, can I ask your weight?”
They were not very alert when it was proposed to spend the night here, but this question made two girls with brown hair alert:
“That’s not polite, Shade.”
Miss Bayas said angrily.
“No, no, no, it’s about the candle. I got a very nice candle.”
That night, they talked until early in the morning before going to rest separately. Shade’s candle can help the three of them become invisible together, and the others have also obtained good relics, which can help them make targeted adjustments to their plans.
In addition to talking about plans and arrangements for tomorrow night, Miss Bayas also returned the [Witch’s Carbon Paper] that had been imprinted with the Thirteen-ring Warlock’s thaumaturgy [Sunshine Great Sword] to Shade.
According to the characteristics of this relic, Shade burned the carbon paper, mixed the remaining ashes into the water, stirred continuously, and finally drank every drop while holding his nose.
After drinking it, I got some hints from the voice in my head. I tilted my head and thought for a moment, then stretched out my right index finger, and a slender silver moon light jumped out from the fingertip like a short knife. After a little experimentation, the sharp blade emerging from the fingertips has quite good cutting performance. Without the blessing of [Ancient Witch’s Gold Necklace], its ability to break defenses is better than [Silver Moon Slash].
This thaumaturgy should be a melee ability and can be paired with [Blade of Disruption of Time]. Moreover, Shade could feel that the witch’s carbon paper was still being digested, and the current harvest was only the prototype of thaumaturgy.
It takes a “digestion” process before he can fully master thaumaturgy. It is not the digestion of the intestines and stomach, but the soul that digests that power. Ms. Bayas has investigated the information on [Witch’s Carbon Paper]. According to the records, since he had such power from the beginning, his harvest should not be so simple. It is most likely to be an extremely close to [Sunshine Great Sword]. powerful magic.
What he will get in the end is related to Shade’s own spiritual rune type and his strongest thoughts. He is full of expectations for this.
“There will definitely be no problem with our actions tomorrow night.”
This was Shade’s thought when he was lying in the owner’s bedroom No. 1 on the second floor, preparing to fall asleep.
The cat lying next to the pillow just ran over. Mia just saw Shade going to the bathroom to wash up, and knowing that he was ready to rest, she rushed into his room. But after a while, he saw that it was not Sha De but a woman who entered the door. He rushed out of the bedroom door and found Sha De in the next room.
It seems that the cat may have mistakenly thought that Miss Bayas and Miss Anat had killed Shade and occupied the house.
But fortunately, little Mia didn’t recognize the bed and fell asleep faster than Shade. Shade, who was thinking about something in his mind, lay with his eyes closed for a long time before falling asleep.
At this time, it was still raining outside.
(Little Mia is running…)
It seemed that opening and closing the eyes only took a matter of two or three seconds. The sound of rain hitting the window was still in my ears. If I listened carefully, I could also hear the cat’s weak and even breathing.
Shad opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Thaumaturgy told him that the time was now five o’clock on Thursday morning. He only slept for less than four hours, but when he woke up, he was not sleepy at all.
“Is it still raining? I hope it won’t affect things tonight.”
Looking at the slightly unfamiliar ceiling, it took a while before he quietly left the bed. The cat, who was very alert when sleeping, was of course awakened, but stood up and looked around to see that there was no danger, and then leaned over the pillow again.
This is the bedroom that belonged to Sparrow Hamilton. After the detective passed away, Shade only came here occasionally to clean the room or come here to look for information left by the previous detective.
This was the first morning that Shade saw this room. When he was sitting on the edge of the bed, he was still wondering whether the room in front of him when Detective Sparrow woke up every morning was the same as what he saw now. It’s the same mood.
Because there were other people at home, Shade tried not to make any noise when he walked out of the room. It was still early and it was still raining outside, so the living room without lights seemed a little dark.
Standing at the door of the bedroom and glancing around, the door of the room where the girls were resting was still closed, so they must all be sleeping.
Woke up a little too early, and Shade didn’t know what to do now. I stood in the living room and looked around again, and then I saw that the door was open a crack:
“Who is out?”
I walked to the corridor on the second floor in my slippers. There was no light downstairs, but the door of Room 2 on the second floor next door was also open.
Shad pushed the door open and entered. The room without gas lights and furniture was empty and a little cold. The sound of rain here seemed louder than the sound of rain next door.
He immediately saw Miss Bayas standing in front of the window.
The girl with long brown hair stood in front of the window, holding a tea cup in one hand and holding the elbow of the other hand. She looked out the window at the rain in St. Teresa Square in the dark. She was wearing the nightgown she took from the rented apartment last night.
Xia De at the door could only see her profile. For some reason, Xia De thought this profile was so lonely.
