Whispering Poems

Chapter 817 The End of Autumn

[Seal of Heaton] is a very famous thaumaturgy of the Church of the Sun. Since the roll of parchment can be carried by the high-ring warlocks of the Church of the Sun, thaumaturgy is certainly not a simple thing.

Its naming method does not point to the inventor. "Heaton" is a rune in ancient languages, which has meanings such as "immovable", "solid" and "protection". ".

The thaumaturgy of "Dharma seal" mostly comes from the extraordinary power of the fourth era.The Quaternary is an era of darkness and horror. The material world is in constant war, human-eating alien creatures are rampant, and dark species enslave the people. "Dharma seal" specifically refers to the need to use five fingers to make rune-like movements when casting a spell. Later, it was improved in the Fifth Era of the Witch Era, and was integrated into the system of the Ring Warlock in the Sixth Era.

This kind of thaumaturgy requires a level 6 or above to learn. Casting does not require casting materials, but requires the caster to hold a sword as the casting medium, whether it is a solid sword like [Night Watchman] or a [Moonlight Great Sword] Spiritual weapons are fine.

With one hand, insert the sword into the ground with an inclination of no more than 30 degrees, and with the other hand, make a gesture of thumb and middle finger touching, little finger bending, ring finger and index finger crossing.

After activating the Spirit Rune, a circular golden shield will appear around the body.The shield can resist almost any form of attack-of course, the attack of fate cannot be defended, and the strength of the "unmovable sign" depends on the number of spirits.Even, if the spell is released at the moment of encountering an attack, the cracked metal shield will cause more powerful burst damage to the enemy.

Countering requires good timing, and it takes practice.The only disadvantage of this precious defensive thaumaturgy is that it cannot attack the enemy when casting the spell, and must stand still, wait until the opponent stops attacking before stopping the sign to counterattack, or use the right time to break the shield to counterattack.

"But even so, it's pretty good thaumaturgy, and it works for me."

Xia De said to himself, looking down at the last study request:

"[Sun], [Power], [Shield], and [Gold], these four spirit runes are acceptable, but the requirements must be miracles, enlightenment or whispers, and cannot be blasphemy [Power] that symbolizes the power of evil gods? Isn't it my low Is it the last spirit rune of the language of sublimation?"

Xia De has already included [Heathon's Sign] in his to-be-learned list.His current thaumaturgy covers almost all aspects, except for the lack of defensive thaumaturgy. This time he just made up for the shortcomings. After entering the middle ring, he can further adjust the spellcasting system.

After sorting out his harvest, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia De took the cat to Miss Galina's manor in a carriage. The witch was still waiting for Xia De's story.

Some things can be told to Luvia, but not to Miss Galina.But at least this time, Xia De admitted most of the things, and at least let Miss Galina know that it was not Iluna who defeated Joey Barton in death, but him.

"Ha, I knew it must be you, otherwise you would have no reason to be there!"

Miss Galina, who verified her conjecture, was very happy. She played with her red sideburns. After listening to Xia De's story from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, she arranged afternoon tea and told Xia De more details. The follow-up to the Battle of Fort Midhill.

The narrow problem was basically completely solved, and Iluna also brought news of the dead chosen ones, letting the church know that this quota belonged to the spiritual order.Therefore, the most critical issue after the Battle of Miburg is not the next candidate, but the identity of the thirteen-ring magician "God Caller", and the sudden appearance of the two gods, and they fought on Mount Xikar, and then The reason for the sudden departure.

Of course, some of the vampires who participated in the god-calling ceremony were captured by the church.But the problem is that most of them don't know why the gods appear in the form of saints, let alone why they suddenly left.

Of course, although the vampire god did not cause any damage at all other than destroying some trees and rocks, the church still arrested those vampires on charges of "organizing illegal ceremonies" and "using prohibited items". What awaits them is the punishment of the Inquisition.

Every divine descent in the material world will be recorded in detail by the scholars of the Orthodox Church and Thaumatology Academy, and will be passed down as part of the history books.Xia De was very curious about how this incident would be written. After all, in theory, except for him, Grace and Helen, no one knew the whole truth about this incident.

Even if he told the truth, most people probably wouldn't believe him unless he turned himself into a god to prove himself.The blood-sucking god planned two eras, involving many gods, and indirectly affected many major historical events. In the end, it was not for the subversion of the Orthodox Church, not for the spread of faith, not for the secrets of the ancient era, but just because a cup could not be obtained. No one with reason would believe such a thing.

"It is said that the church is discussing whether to set last Wednesday as a special festival for Fort Midhill. Countless souls left the border between life and death under the guidance of the gods, which is very memorable in itself."

The witch, who was tasting the afternoon tea, said that it was a successful conclusion to this matter.

As for the serious injuries of Helen and Grace, it was well concealed with the help of Granny Cassandra and Sister Devlin.The actions of the two little red butterflies that night did not attract too many people's attention.No one even knows they exist except the folks at Cassandra Auction House.

"However, isn't [Night Watchman] your sword? Why does the church think it's the sword of [God Caller]?"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun still hadn't set even in late autumn, Xia De and Miss Galina sat at a round table on the terrace on the third floor of the manor, with teapots and small snacks on the table.

Mia lay on Xia De's lap and slept soundly. Xia De was lamenting the cold weather when he heard the witch's question and immediately replied:

"Because it's hard to explain who gave the [Night Watchman] to Iluna, so let her treat me as the Godcaller."

"But according to the information I got, the 'God Caller' who appeared at the Narrow Church does hold [Night Watchman]."

the witch asked again.

"Oh, that's the church's mistake. In the narrow room, they thought I was a godcaller, and thought I was deliberately suppressing my own power, but in fact I was really just a three-ring warlock. As for the godcaller."

Tifa poured new tea for Shad's teacup, Shad thanked him softly, and the black-haired maid smiled at him.Smelling the perfume on Tifa's body again, Xia De recalled what happened at breakfast today, and kept his expression very restrained:
"I guess, the Godcaller has actually been on Mount Xikal in the real world since Wednesday evening, waiting for the descending of the blood-sucking Duke."

People always avoid directly mentioning the name of gods, so "Duke of Bloodsucking" can refer to the blood god.

"That's it, it is indeed reasonable. But according to the description of the church, your performance in the narrow space is really good, and the strength you have displayed is at least the same as that of the Central Ring that is about to be promoted."

The witch said again, seeing that she couldn't find any flaws in Shade, and Tifa stood beside Shade and handed him a napkin, then smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, after Tifa came back this morning, she didn't come to see me right away, but went to change a piece of clothes. I think there might be something wrong with it."

"Miss, when I served Mr. Hamilton for breakfast this morning, I accidentally spilled the breakfast on the hem of my apron."

Tifa explained softly that of course she lied, she had sprinkled it in the wrong place, and it was just steaming eggs.

"Is that so?"

The witch tapped the table unconsciously with her fingers, her eyes hovered over Tifa's chest, and she suddenly asked:
"Xia De, are you satisfied with your breakfast?"

"Ok?"

Xia De, who was caught in the early memories of the morning, even though he could control his expression, his face turned red immediately:
"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Miss Galina smiled and shook her head:
"The young knight and the maid in the blooming season love each other but due to the existence of the beautiful mistress, they can only simply comfort and cannot vent the flames in their hearts. Even if they are sitting face to face with the mistress, they can only use their eyes and The cheating maid communicates with her as much as she wants, and at the same time she has to try her best to please her true lover, and endures the torture of the two ladies patiently. Tsk tsk, I just thought of the novel about knights The storyline is pretty good, right?"

What she said was definitely not the plot of a novel, otherwise Xia De would still be very interested in reading this book.

[How about calling it "The Legend of Detective Knight"?A foreigner who has the crime of "indiscriminate love"~]

"She" asked with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Supper at the manor was about seven o'clock, and there was still a long time before dinner, but they didn't talk about Midhill Castle any more.Miss Galina suggested that since the weather is fine, she should go out for a walk.So he took Xia De and the maids and rode around the nearby farm, and introduced to Xia De the source of income of this manor outside the city.

Then, under the strong late autumn sunset, the red-haired witch proposed a horse race with Shad.The following servants, even Tifa who was holding Mia, were not allowed to participate. Only Shad and she walked along the country road from Little Hangleton Village all the way back to the main gate of the manor.

The horse's hooves sounded anxiously, no surprises, of course Xia De lost.Even if Miss Galina intentionally controls the speed, the equestrian skills of the noble lady who has received equestrian training since she was a child are not comparable to Shade.

But when he rode a horse hard to chase after the witch, watched the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkle the country road, and watched the figure of Miss Galina running towards the sunset, that scene was like an oil painting, probably enough for this " "Dead breath" draws the most perfect end to the heavy autumn.

There is a room specially reserved for Shad in the manor, and there is no shortage of change of clothes and daily necessities.Xia De thought that there would be nothing more tonight, but after dinner, when he was chatting with Miss Galina in the study tonight's dessert, that is, the taste of the red sun fruit shipped from Kasenlik, the door There was a knock on the door.

Tifa went to open the door, and the maid outside the door spoke to Tifa in a low voice, and then Tifa returned to the sofa:

"Miss, Your Highness has arrived."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xia De. Xia De thought that Miss Galina had business to discuss and was about to get up after picking up the cat, but the Duchess asked him to sit down:
"Just let her come here directly. The accompanying ladies are arranged to stay on the first floor, and personal servants can follow."

After Tifa answered softly and walked out of the room, Xia De asked in surprise:

"Who is coming? Is it okay for me to be seen here?"

"Shad, what nonsense are you talking about? Now half, no, four-fifths of Tobesk, are rumoring that you are my lover. Could it be true that you will appear in my manor? Do the rumors matter?"

Miss Galina said with a smile, then stood up, and changed from sitting across the tea table from Xia De to sitting on Xia De's left side.

Mia, who was lying on Xia De's right side, felt the sofa shake slightly, straightened her head and looked around, and then continued to lie down.

It is full from dinner, so it needs to rest on its stomach for a while to digest the food, so that it can catch up with Xia De's supper time.

Xia De still wanted to ask who was here, but the witch who was close at hand asked again:

"You ran all night at Castle Midhill. I don't think you didn't gain anything? Let me see what new skills you have."

Seeing her request, Xia De did not refuse.After thinking for a while, he raised his right hand, palm down, and five fingers slightly bent.Following some red shadows swaying on the back of his hand, not long after, a crimson butterfly appeared on the back of Xia De's hand.

The butterfly shook its wings slightly and stopped there very steadily.Xia De shook his palm lightly, and it flew close to the witch.After Miss Galina stretched out her right index finger, the red butterfly landed on her finger, and the witch showed a more beautiful smile than the butterfly:
"not bad."

The spell [Red Butterfly Illusion] is somewhat different from [Moon Shadow's Illusion] which was invalidated by awakening Miss Fiona Drago.The latter comes from the power of the silver moon, and pays more attention to eliminating sounds and invisible bodies at night, while [Red Butterfly Illusion] can not only be used at any time, but also focuses on creating various wonderful illusions.

Even though they are both illusions, there are actually very few similarities between the two.

Just as Xia De was thinking, the door of the study was opened.But it wasn't Tifa who walked in first, but the red-haired, aggressive-looking princess Her Royal Highness.

Rezia Cavendish wore a cumbersome princess dress, as if she had come to attend some important official event.The high-heeled shoes made a dull sound on the carpet. Just as he was about to speak after entering the door, he saw Xia De and Miss Galina sitting next to each other on the sofa. Of course, they also saw the intimate movements of the two.

She took a deep breath, and for a moment, Shad thought she was holding the [Higgs Dragon Head Stone] in her hand, and they were all dragons on the sofa.

Fortunately, there is no dragon roar at this time, because the Cavendish family is a pure-blooded human family:

"Good evening, Shad."

The tone of this sentence is very gentle.

"Auntie, that's why you called me here tonight? Let me see Xia De appearing in your manor so late?"

This sentence is to suppress anger.

Xia De noticed that Rezia used the title of "aunt", but generally speaking, she used the title of "Miss Galina".

"Of course not, haven't you recently obtained the logistics management rights of the New World Exploration Corps? Saladir County intends to purchase the special aromatic flowers there from the New World for a long time as an alternative spice, so I want to talk to you about business .”

The red butterfly on the witch's fingertips dispersed, and she waved for Rezia to sit down:
"That's why I called you here. But it's already so late, I don't think you need to return to the Yodel Palace tonight, just stay with me tonight. Speaking of which, little Rezia, since I returned to Tor Besk City, you have never stayed with me.

Rezia calmed down and walked to the sofa, sat opposite Xia De, first smiled and nodded to him, then asked Miss Galina with a straight face:

"Since it's an important matter, why did you call me at this time? Isn't it good during the day?"

"In the morning, I met with a private tailor to discuss winter fashion. I want to order a few new dresses. I don't plan to go back to Saladir County this winter. In the afternoon, Shade and I talked about some private things and riding skills, yes Riding a horse, and eating dinner with the knight, so I don't have time during the day."

The witch said with a smile, motioning to Tifa to pour tea for Leizia:

"Resia, you're a big girl now, why, don't you want to spend the night at home? Oh, my place is very safe, and the bedroom is very comfortable."

"It's fine to spend the night here tonight."

Rezia looked at Xia De again:
"Why is he here?"

"Resia, have you forgotten the courtesies of the royal family? This is my friend, please be polite. And as I have already said, it is a private matter."

Judging from the expression, the Duchess was really happy at this time, because she asked again:

"I heard that Xia De is also your friend? I think you should be very happy to see him here, right?"

Xia De was very worried that Rezia would fight Miss Galina, judging from the current situation, this is definitely not impossible.

"Oh, ladies, just listen to me."

So for Leiziya's safety, as well as for the safety of himself and Mia, Xia De still spoke:

"Raisia, I'm here to talk to Miss Galina about Middlehill Castle, and I was there on Wednesday night."

Her Royal Highness's complexion changed, but she was relieved when she saw that Xia De didn't look like he was injured:
"I knew that you would go to Fort Midhill again for some inexplicable reason."

"In addition, I will stay here tonight. I sleep in the guest room on the third floor, don't worry, there are only me and Mia in the room."

Xia De picked up the cat beside him, and the water-like cat elongated in the process of being picked up.Squinting his eyes and seeing a familiar human being, he gave Rezia a "meow~" as a greeting.

"Since you have something to talk about, I will avoid it first. However, if I have time at night, I want to talk to you. I have something very important to say."

Shad said, then stood up.

Miss Galina said:
"But Rezia can't stay overnight in your room. If my nephew knows that his daughter slept with her aunt's lover when she was staying at her aunt's house, Diana will definitely not invite me to the next tea party. "

But these words didn't make Rezia angry. With a reserved smile, Her Royal Highness raised the teacup in front of her, and didn't even forget to thank Tifa:

"If I want to spend the night in Shad's room, why wait until now. Detective, what is shining on you?"

"Ok?"

Shad looked down and saw something glowing from the inside pocket of his coat.After unbuttoning it, I realized that it was the manuscript page used to communicate with the college, which was prompting information.

Unfolding it, a new roll of parchment was sent over.After reading the above text, Xia De was a little surprised and said:
"Miss Daniste asked me to use the ceremony to project it to the academy library as soon as possible."

"Denister? That thirteen-ring magician?"

Miss Galina was very surprised:
"You're in St. Byrence, aren't you just teaching by correspondence? You actually know the librarian of the college? Since it's a projection ceremony, Tifa, you go and help Shade prepare, don't delay things."

Shad said goodbye to the two ladies, then hurriedly followed Tifa out of the study.

Miss Galina looked at the back of Xia De leaving, and suddenly asked:

"Rezia, what do you think of Xia De?"
