Chapter 2759 The Demon of Split
Despite what he said, Shade still sighed. Of course he didn’t believe it would end so easily:
“Raglai’s jump!”
He jumped lightly into the air and immediately opened his mouth to the bottom:
“Chloe’s Ice Breath!”
Amidst the falling snowflakes, the frosty chill rushed from the air to suppress the forest fire, and in turn infected the burnt branches with frost. It seems that winter has arrived early, but in fact, the winter of 1854 in the Universal Calendar is indeed not far away.
Although the fire at Hoy Manor caused a commotion at the beginning, the fire was lit on the unoccupied third floor. In addition, Director Kant had made a lot of arrangements to maintain the order of tonight’s auction. Police patrolled the area and the flames were quickly doused.
The people gathered in the courtyard were still discussing the cause of the fire in the manor at first, which reminded them of the fire three hundred years ago. However, they were attracted by the forest fire in the distance, but the fire in the forest was also It went out quickly.
Just because of this unexpected fire, the auction process was interrupted, and the subsequent guests left separately. In order to prevent mistakes in the chaos, guests who have purchased auction items need to come back to the manor tomorrow to pick up their auction items. Director Kant personally expressed his apology to each guest.
As for the heavy snow in the forest caused by Shade’s spell, it only covered a small area. After all, this was Shade’s own spell, not Chloe’s power. It could not cover the last time. Weather changes in most of the forest area.
Not long after he and Miss Danister returned to Hoy Manor, they also took a carriage back to the Accordion Hotel. I have to admit that the thaumaturgy “Chloe’s Echo of Ice” is really quite effective against this type of flame-type enemy. Miss Danister even commented:
“This thaumaturgy can actually be classified as a thirteen-ring thaumaturgy. Although it is not as powerful as the purely destructive thaumaturgy like [Moon Goddess’ Forgiveness] that I mentioned to you before, it is functional in terms of functionality. In other words, it is the most suitable for you, or this is simply the power developed by the Witch Emperor for you.”
The only drawback of this thaumaturgy is probably that it consumes a lot of money. Of course, its consumption is not as high as that of the compound secret lock that Shade has been unable to use normally, but after the battle just now, he still drank the essence to help restore his spirit.
Although the stranger’s total amount of spirit is much more than that of an ordinary ring warlock of the same level due to his own special characteristics and the help of his divine nature every time he is promoted, his consumption in combat is also higher than that of an ordinary ring warlock.
Even if “Chloe’s Ice Echo” can restore the spirit, it is far less than the consumption of thaumaturgy. It seems that the pink perfume bottle given by “Desire” really plays a very important role for Shade.
The auction was interrupted suddenly, causing the two of them to return to the Accordion Hotel too early. Flora has not received the news yet and is returning to her owl form. She is standing on the desk in her room and flipping through books with her wings. Therefore, she is certainly surprised to see Shade and Miss Danist come back:
“Why are you back so early?”
After listening to the two people describing what happened tonight, the witch also had the same question:
“So you originally wanted to investigate the traces of the devil, but not only did you discover that the Kant family might have made a deal with the devil, but you even directly defeated the devil? But even if the other party was seriously injured by the ‘Ranger Hunter’ three hundred years ago, I won’t be defeated by you so easily, right?”
She also heard Miss Danister describe Shade’s magic trick, but because she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she didn’t know how powerful the magic trick was.
“I’ll go back and ask my friends for advice. Regardless of whether we really defeated the devil or not, there is definitely something wrong with the Kant family.”
Shad turned to Miss Bell and asked:
“During the early investigation of Ximu Town, did you find anything wrong with the Kande family?”
The pale witch apprentice shook his head slightly:
“The Kande family is not a traditional local family. Although they were also the original residents of Ximu Town, they did not make their fortune until Director Kande’s father’s generation started doing business. We were short of manpower before, so we did not include the Kande family as part of the investigation. The point is, at present, the only thing that raises suspicion about the Kant family is that the source of their large amount of property is unknown.”
Seeing that her teacher also looked over, Miss Bell explained:
“This is not the result of our investigation, but the information given by Her Royal Highness Margaret. The Kingdom’s tax department once conducted a focused investigation on the local police chief. It seems that there is a serious mismatch between his property and the tax amount reported.
But the incident went away. Judging from Gray Gloves’ documents, Director Conde bribed some key figures in Willendale to terminate the investigation.
In addition, Director Kant’s family are all believers in the God of Nature. He makes large donations to the local Church of Nature every year, so he has a good relationship with the local church. ”
“Looking at it this way, this family has big problems, right?”
Miss Owl shook her head in annoyance:
“Is there something wrong with everyone in this **** place?”
“The church is expected to investigate the fire. Let’s see the church’s reaction first, or we can tell the church directly that the Kant family has something to do with the devil.”
Xia De stood up:
“I’m going back first, let’s talk about these things tomorrow.”
Flora was very surprised:
“Are you going back so early? It’s just eight o’clock now. Sit down and chat for a while.
I have never encountered evil spirits or demons before. At most, I only heard my teacher mention my own experience. Daniste said that you have dealt with demons more than once. Can’t you share the story with me? ”
She did not hide her intention to let Shade stay a little longer, and Miss Danister, who knew what Shade was going to do when he returned home, couldn’t help but smile. Although what Flora said made sense, Shade would not miss the invitation with Dorothy and Lesia.
“Dorothy is coming to my house tonight, yes, Dorothy Louisa. It’s our regular date every Saturday. I’m learning something from her.”
“That’s it. See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Shade threw out the crystal high-heeled shoe and disappeared into the room. Flora, who had just pretended not to care just now, immediately asked her friend:
“Do you think the writer lady will live directly at Shade’s house tonight?”
The red-haired girl felt funny in her heart, but asked in surprise:
“Of course they will. They are lovers, and Miss Louisa is not a witch. They had an affair a long time ago. Judging from Shade’s anxious look just now, there is no way he will let Miss Louisa leave tonight. After all, he is a young man, and although Shade does not smoke or drink, he is definitely not an ascetic ascetic.”
Of course she said that on purpose.
“So tonight they will”
“Miss Owl” imagined the scene, and while feeling a little hot, she couldn’t help but complain:
“I really don’t know how to keep myself clean.”
I don’t know who she is talking about.
(Little Mia is running.)
“Yes, this is the power of the devil.”
Half an hour later, at the Schneider Psychological Clinic in the East District of Tobesk, the doctor who received Shade in the reception room on the second floor raised the lantern so that his line of sight was level with the black flames in the glass lampshade:
“Detective, are you too efficient? You just told me about the matter last night, and you brought back such clues today.”
Xia De raised his eyebrows:
“Are you sure this is a demon?”
“Of course, but only part of it, and not the core part.”
The doctor placed the lantern again on the coffee table in front of him, but instead of sitting down, he stood up and walked to the window to look at the night scene tonight. Late autumn has arrived, and this is the season of the year when air pollution in Tobesk is the most serious. Tonight, when there is no rain, the entire city is shrouded in thick fog:
“I said that the demon of fire, Dezast, has the ability to split his own body. This actually means splitting his own core. It used this trick three hundred years ago to escape the pursuit of the church. Kill, but now it only uses ordinary clones.
I have to admit that its splitting ability is indeed quite easy to use. I bet that except for me, not many people in this era can see through this trick. ”
Xia De then asked probingly:
“It’s not very core. Can we judge its actual strength based on this?”
“Of course.”
The doctor answered decisively:
“If his power is put directly in front of me and I can’t judge anything, then I don’t have to think about hunting demons. Its physical strength is about the same as what I estimated last night, and I am now It can be determined that its core is divided into four parts. Only by solving these four clones at the same time can it be truly solved.”
“Four copies of you, me, Miss Elsa Asberg, the ‘Winter Singer’, and Sister Devlin, we don’t even need to ask for help. But doctor, can you guess? What does it mean by releasing the clone on purpose?”
The doctor then smiled:
“I want to ask you a question, have you used the extracted sins in Vista Grove?”
Xia De was startled and then understood:
“Yes, I was fighting something called a ‘Dead Apostle’ at that time, and I used the sin of cowardice as a hook to freeze the opponent. At that time, I felt a strong sense of voyeurism (Chapter 2700).”
The doctor nodded:
“That’s right, it sensed sin, and then thought that other people of the same race had come to that woodland. So in order to determine the other party’s intention, it deliberately released a clone to test, but it seems that it recognized you as Obtained the ring warlock inherited from the witcher.
But this trick of feigning death to escape is really inferior. If you tell anyone about this level, you will be laughed at by other demons.
So it is basically certain that our opponent is in quite bad shape this time. It was eager to test and find something to do for its enemies and the church, so it released this clone. As for the big fire-burning trees in the forest, this may be part of the temptation, or it may be another plan. ”
