Chapter 496 How to get light
Shade got off the carriage at the intersection, he was very interested in the parade interested. But because there were too many people, he gave up the idea of watching. However, when I took out the key to open the door, I met the Smiths and Mrs. Smith, the next-door neighbors who were about to travel.

They were also invited to tonight's banquet at Yodel Palace and are now heading out to get their custom gowns.

"So, Mr. Smith was definitely not your average Treasury Secretary until he retired."

Shade judged.

Back home, I didn't see Mia running downstairs when I was changing shoes in the hallway. Probably because it was too loud outside, the cat didn't hear the door opening on the first floor.

So when Shade found the orange cat crawling on the wall in the empty second floor room 2, the stunned expression on Mia's furry face was really funny.

“Don’t use the wall to sharpen your claws.”

Shade warned in a low voice, bending over to pick Mia up. The soft cat meows a few times, probably coquettish, but doesn't break free from Shade's arm.

Miss Galina and Tifa didn't show up until 2:00 pm, when Shade was in the study reading the explanation on "Basic Ceremony - Glowing" in the second grade textbook, the badge on the chest was hotter than the downstairs. 's doorbell informed him of the arrival of Demonness one step in advance.

Miss Galina will go to Yordle Palace to dress up and change clothes in a while, but she has brought Shade a formal dress for the banquet and plans to leave two maids behind to help Shade with her hair and dressing.

The most important thing, of course, is that Miss Avrora has agreed to meet Shade at the Demoness Council this afternoon. In order to prevent being discovered by other Demoness, the meeting time between the two was only ten minutes at most. Before Miss Jialina stood at the end of the corridor on the third floor and was about to sing, she specially instructed Shade not to overtime.

“Do I have to sing in a corridor-like terrain every time I enter the council?”

Shade, who still had some thoughts on the [Demoness Council], took the opportunity to inquire.

"It is not necessary to use a corridor, a certain length of flat terrain that allows for straight walking is fine. There is no requirement whether the surroundings are open or flat." Hold Shade's hand:
"The appointed time is up, come with me."

She started to sing softly, and Tifa followed behind the two with a smile. Of course, the maid also has access to Demoness. powers of parliament.

Miss Avrolla didn't know what she was doing and showed up two minutes later than the appointed time. Miss Galina looked like she wanted to complain, but since Shade couldn't stay here too long, let Shade ask her own question first.

Miss Shivi Avrolla, who hasn't seen her for more than a week, doesn't seem to have changed much. She has probably arrived in the Kingdom of Kasenrik, and the style of her clothes has the characteristics of a strong southern kingdom.

"Enlightenment - Light? You've been reading "Crazy Light Chaser" for two months? St. Byrons is really new, always uses this book."

Hearing Shade's question, Demones raised his eyebrows, leaned one hand on the stone table, and fiddled with the ends of his brown hair:
"Your innate talent is not bad, since you think it will take a week at most. , you can get that spirit rune yourself, then in these last moments, you don't have to look for relics related to light to experience the power.

My suggestion is, Shade, you look for and【 Relics related to darkness], use darkness to force yourself to understand light more deeply. Of course, touching the relics is risky, you have to measure it yourself."

Glancing at Miss Galina as she spoke , the latter waved his hand:

"Relax, I will protect him."

"Darkness."

Shade nods, [Darkness Domain] is an angel It's too dangerous. Fortunately, he has other options:

"Miss Galina, I don't know if that [Box of Darkness] is still in your hands."

He turned his head and asked Miss Galina who was sitting at the round table, the latter replied while sharpening her nails with a knife:
"It's still there, but I lent it out. I think you will be there tomorrow or the day after. You can go to my manor to get it."

【Dark Box】is the relic that Shade accidentally lost control of when she "sees" Miss Galina at the Lucky Southern Cross Club for the first time. Very impressed with this item.

"Of course, while feeling the Power of Darkness, it will be better to use negative emotions to oppress yourself. My suggestion is that you feel the power like fear, and you are in deep depression. You are in the dark at the same time."

Miss Avrolla thought for a while, and then reminded:

"The more fearful, the more obvious the effect. But I don't see you either. You are like a timid person, so you have to try many times before you can use this method to force yourself to touch the purest [light] in your heart. With this method, you may succeed in a few days.”

Although a few days is not a long time compared to the time to get spirit rune, Shade doesn't think Darkness will stay in the city at ease.

So Miss Avrora's method does work, but Shade is faster. Fortunately, he has a better idea. Since ordinary fear is not effective, he chooses a more powerful fear, which is [Terror Castle]. The fear of the eerie presence that lurks in the hallway before entering the gaming room is the most powerful fear Shade has ever felt.

Although [Dark Box] cannot be brought into the past, Shade can break into the corridor and face that weird thing when he is about to leave the Fifth Age in 1784. Running away with your back to that thing can trigger fear, and the effect of facing it directly is stronger.

As long as you control the time well, before encountering real danger, you will be sent back to the time of the sixth era by the Father of the Infinite Tree, and then immediately recite the incantation to make the dark box out of control. In this way, he can almost guarantee that he will get the Enlightenment spirit rune related to [Light] right away.

But this creates another problem. The fifth era in 1784 has only one last chance. If the bet cannot be effectively resolved this time, then the mission of the time key will fail.

Thinking of this, Shade recalled the conversation with Luvia not long ago:
"The content of the last four grooves, two myriad forms impermanence cards replace two, and another experience replaces one , now only one is missing. Also, the myriad forms impermanence card inserted into the groove, don't know what will happen."

So the real problem Shade needs to solve in order to get the spirit rune related to [Light] Yes, get the life experience of Mr. Riddle, the prophet of the fifth era.

Seeing Shade's pensive look, the Demoness knew that he had an idea.

Miss Avrora stroked her fingers in the air, and the light marks on her fingertips left the words "dark" and "light" in the air.

"Of course, I'm giving you this advice because light and darkness are one in themselves, they are opposites and one."

"I understand, that's what Dawn Church's teachings say. . However, it seems that you all know the technique of leaving light trails in the air."

Because he has already asked himself clearly, Shade can easily joke.

"Don't underestimate this skill, you must carefully control your own light, which requires a lot of innate talent. I don't know if you paid attention, the god caller split the mermaid corpse in Cold Harbor, Just using similar techniques."

She probably regarded Moonlight Slash as another Mystic Art.

So Miss Galina took Shade out of the council to prevent other Demoness from finding out.

Shade, who was unwilling to give up, still asked Miss Galina about Shrek Riddle. But just like what Luvia said, other than the Prophet Association, no other organization would record this ordinary man of the Fifth Epoch at all.

"Although I can break into the [Darkness Domain] without [Light], but for the convenience of movement, I still have it. Is it necessary to give up the task of the third time key for the sake of [Light]? Or should I carry that door-shaped pendant with me, and then enter the past as a last resort?"

Comparing the importance of the time key and the second chosen person, in the After Miss Galina left, Shade, with the help of the two maids, began to prepare the dress for the evening banquet. Although in his opinion, there is a formal suit, and it is enough to comb the hair, but it is obvious that Miss Jialina does not think so.

This evening, Shade thanked and sent off the two maids downstairs. After saying goodbye to Mia who insisted on staying at home and reluctant to go out, Shade went to Old John Antiques first. Shop, got the silver-white ring with three diamond-like crystals.

Shade lowered his head to check the very beautiful silver ring. After Old John teased about his appearance as "to seduce an ignorant noble lady", he asked Shade curiously. What's in that gift box tied up with ribbons.

Queen Diana's birthday was the front page headlines of all the newspapers today, and old John guessed that Shade was going to Yordle Palace, so he was curious about his gift.

"Dad, you can take it apart and look at it, but make sure you can tie it back up again."

Shade said, then remembered the maid she asked Miss Galina not long ago. The scene of helping to bundle gifts.

"Detective, don't look down on me too much, I guarantee that the binding is better than before. I rely on the skills of packing goods, and I can not carry the goods for sale. How can you be a stingy fellow? What are you giving?"

Papa John looked really curious, and after getting permission, carefully pulled the ribbon. After opening the box, I was surprised that wrinkles appeared on my forehead:

"Oh, this is really. I have seen a lot of big pearls, but such round ones are really rare."

"It cost a lot of money, and I asked a friend to get it from Coldwater Harbor."

Shade whispered, putting the silver ring on his finger, the size is very suitable. Ordinary ring warlocks can only target one target at a time with [Spirit Burst], but the Shade of "Divine Afterglow" can target no more than three targets.

When casting the spell, point the ringed finger at the target's head, or the equivalent of the head. The closer the distance, the more obvious the effect of [Spirit Burst]. If the target's mind is particularly fragile, Mystic Art is very likely to directly smash the opponent's head when Shade puts his finger directly on the opponent's forehead.

"You are really willing to exchange such a large pearl for a practical poet-level relic, maybe someone will change it."

Papa John clicking one's tongue in wonder.

"This should be considered an investment, so it's not a waste of money."

Shade corrected, old John nodded, but he agreed with this sentence. It's just that when he was looking for tools to reseal the gift box, Shade joked again:
"I want to remind you. Detective, unlike the Duchess, Queen Diana is married."

Shade ignored him.
