Chapter 592 Sister Daveline

"Don't worry, what am I doing in that kind of place?"

Shade shrugs:

“priest has to come out on his own, and all I can do is figure out what it takes to help him out.”

Tomorrow is Saturday, and the four of them agreed that this week's study meeting will be temporarily changed to 6 St. Teresa Square, and then the doctor will leave first, and Dorothy will stay to help Shade take care of the cat.

Luvia didn't rush to leave either, she made a request to Shade:
"I participated in the astrological event held by the Astronomy Academy in St. Byrons in the fall, and the scale of this year's event compares Big, the Academy sent me a special set of stargazing equipment, but my apartment is not facing the right direction, and the area is not big enough.”

It’s not that the area is not big enough, but the open space is not big enough. The stargazing of the fortune-tellers is not enough to set up a telescope and a planetarium. They need enough space to draw the ceremony matrix, and space to place the star map and various professional equipment that Shade does not know the specific purpose.

"It doesn't matter, you can go and pick a room on the third floor. There is no furniture on the third floor, and I use it as a ceremony practice venue."

"Okay, I think I'm going to borrow it for the fall, your house is facing very well."

Luvia nodded, Shade found a spare key for her, and let her put those stargazing equipment in recent days Move in, you can come to stargazing anytime in the future.

I asked Dorothy to take care of Mia again, he might come back very late, and then went to the first floor with the letter of introduction from Miss Galina.

On the sofa, Luvia and Dorothy sat opposite each other. Mia squatted on the coffee table, shook her head from side to side, looked at the two girls, and finally jumped to the more familiar Dorothy.

Goldilocks picked up the cat, smiled and asked the female fortune-teller who was playing with the keys:
"How are you going to pay for the room? The price of the Saint Derain square is very high. Wouldn't you use yourself?"

She asked teasingly.

Luvia shook her head, her short brown hair rubbing her shoulders:

"Shade won't charge me rent."

Dorothy laughed, no Continue to joke again:

"However, don't you worry about stargazing in this 'haunted house' that will affect your stargazing results?"

"Stargazing is different from divination , although they are all affected by the environment, but stargazing is affected very little. Besides, Shade thinks that his house is no longer a problem."

Luvia looked up towards the ceiling.

"If there's really no problem, why haven't I been in this house all summer and seen anything but Shade and Mia? Rats, spiders, flies, ants, what? Not at all."

Dorothy said, petting Mia, the cat didn't seem very satisfied with Dorothy's petting skills.

The smile on Luvia's face subsided:

"I used to think it was the influence of the underground, but now that I think about it, maybe the problem is not necessarily only the basement. Shade looks like Are you planning to move away from here, maybe only someone as special as him can make this house look normal."

Speaking, he stood up and planned to hire a carrier for his star-gazing equipment. Come. Things can be shipped in two or three trips, but it's very cumbersome to assemble.

"Since you are watching the stars on the third floor, the main thing that may affect the results should be the abnormality on the third floor. Speaking of which, what happened on the third floor of Shade's house? I remember him mentioning Once."

Dorothy stood up and prepared to leave together, she wanted to go home and fetch the documents and materials she had written.

I wanted to walk with Mia in my arms, but Mia didn't even want to go out with Shade most of the time, so she immediately jumped out of Dorothy's arms. It jumped onto the living room windowsill, soaking up the autumn afternoon sun, ready for a good night's sleep.

Dorothy also knew that the cat didn't want to go out, so she didn't try to catch it. The two girls disappeared along the stairs, and the voice came from downstairs:
"I remember, it seems that someone entered the third floor and never showed up again? Oh, this is very similar to what Augustus Priest experienced. Things."

"Meow~"

The cat on the window sill on the second floor stretched out, the sun was shining on its fur, squinting eyes and holding two front paws The orange pattern on the cat's back really seems to be emitting golden rays of light.

That's the sun's glow.

(Mia is taking a nap zZ)

Shade on the other side once again passed through the Ancient God statue in his basement and appeared in the abandoned tower in the mountains outside Midhill Fort.

This time he didn't have to worry about being discovered, so he left the basement directly with "Lagle's Jump". Afterwards, instead of immediately following the road he walked to the city, he stood behind the abandoned tower and looked at the city that stretched down the mountain in the distance.

“Medhill Fort”

The square-like blocks divide the city, and the ant-like pedestrians and carriages move at a constant speed. In addition to the natural church in the city center, the most conspicuous of the city is the factory near the foot of the mountain, as well as the railway that passes through Midhill Fort and then enters the mountain pass. This is the most important part of the old continent east through the Rommel Mountains. aisle.

"It doesn't look like a volcano here."

Shade muttered before turning around and heading down the mountain.

It was already afternoon, just like yesterday, there was a layer of mist in the mountains and forests. Although these mists are not particularly obstructing the line of sight, they are still a hindrance for Shade, who is moving in the primitive forest with no roads.

Even though he had already walked the road once, he still took about the same time as the first time he walked yesterday to go down the mountain.

First pass through the small village at the foot of the mountain, then pass through the smelting factory in the early stage of urban development, and finally approach the city before finding the carriage and taking Shade to No. 15 Rufu Lane.

Miss Galina gave Shade how to contact the [spirit cultivator], but Shade felt that instead of rushing into contact with a ring warlock he didn't know, it would be better to let an acquaintance introduce him.

As the "Home for the Blind" of the Blind Mutual Aid Association, it is always open during the day. When Shade visited again, Ms. Michelle was counseling a woman who came to seek help, so Shade It took nearly half an hour to see Ms. Michelle hurried over.

In normal state, she is blindfolded with sackcloth strips, but this does not affect her actions at all. Shade guessed that maybe that layer of linen was actually translucent, or maybe she had the ability to "eyes of the heart".

But when Shade took out the letter written by Miss Galina, and Ms. Michele took off the banner in front of her and read it, he realized that the nuns of the spirit cultivator order can't really be." Blind sight".

"Demoness? Mr. Watson, do you know Demoness?"

Ms. Michelle frowned slightly and looked towards Shade, Shade nodded, of course he didn't forget to tell Miss Galina that he The pseudonym is John Watson:

"Yes, I did something for an unidentified lady while I was in Tobesque, and later learned that 'that lady' was the Demoness. I heard I was coming to Midhill fort to find a friend, and 'the lady' asked the servant to give me a letter. I thought it would be useless, didn't expect to come to this city, and Augustus first happened This kind of thing. Is this letter enough for the order to provide some help?"

"Certainly enough, the lady gave you a high evaluation in the letter."

Shade didn't open the letter, so he didn't know exactly how Miss Galina was complimenting him.

Because she knew the attitude of [Demoness Council] to men, Ms. Michelle was very hesitant about this letter. But now that Shade had the letter out, she had to pass it on.

So Ms. Michele gave Shade a break in the House of the Blind, and she went to personally deliver the letter to Sister Daveline, the leader of the Order.

【spirit cultivator order】is a very interesting organization. Everyone in this organization is called a certain nun or a certain cultivator, so it is difficult to judge who is the real one just by the name leader.

If Shade went to the local Great Demon girl first, and then to the [spirit cultivator order], then he might be able to go directly to the order's real residence, and he would definitely be treated with courtesy. But now with such an indirect introduction, he can only wait obediently and honestly, and it is uncertain whether the eleventh-ringed Sister Daveline is willing to meet him.

It depends on whether Miss Galina's face is big enough.

After waiting from two o'clock to three o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Michelle hurried back to the Blind House. She first apologized to Shade for making him wait so long, and then asked him to take the carriage and go with her to meet the leader of the spirit cultivator order, the Eleventh Circle Sister Daveline.

【spirit cultivator order】is a ring warlock group outside the church, its scale is larger than the 【Blood of Mercury】 that Shade encountered, but far less than the Society of Prophets. They also did not fully cooperate with the Orthodox Church like the Prophet Association, and even meant to exclude the Orthodox Church. Therefore, Shade, who was only initially trusted, was not able to meet Sister Daveline directly at the headquarters of the order.

The final meeting point was not the House of the Blind either, but a club two blocks west of the House of the Blind on the same street as the local Church of Creation.

The club with a good decoration and appearance is called the "disciple club", and it is difficult to judge the nature of the club from the name. Sister Daveline met Shade alone in the third-floor reception room. When Shade opened the door, the first thing she saw was the sister's profile.

She looks in her twenties, her hair in a decaying ash-gray. Like the nuns Shade has seen in Darkness Domain, she wears a silver crown-shaped blindfold over her eyes. And the pattern on the silver's crown was more complicated than anything Shade had seen on the faces of the other nuns.

She is wearing a more traditional grey and black skirt, which looks like a nun's dress, with a black shawl that looks like a silk cloth over her black top. The shawl looked thin, and when Shade sat down, it felt like gauze.

Whoever saw this lady for the first time thought she must be an observant nun.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Watson."

lips slightly moving, said in a calm and slow voice. Sister Daveline placed Miss Galina's letter on the table between the two of them, just on the side of the teacup in front of her, as if she could see everything in front of her.

"Good evening, Sister Daveline, I take the liberty to disturb you like this."

Shade said politely, looking around the room from the corner of her eye. This is a parlor on the top floor of an upscale club in the city center, but the decor is surprisingly modest. At first glance, I can't see any valuable ancient Dong Family furniture or precious oil paintings. The interior style is dominated by cool grays, which is in line with the temperament of the young nun in front of me.

"This should also be one of the local strongholds of the [spirit cultivator order]."

Shade judged in his heart.

"I have read the letter from the seventh Demoness, Mr. Watson. We have a good relationship with the Council. Since Demoness says you are a very capable person, we are naturally willing to help you. Sister Michelle has already spoken to me about your friend, so what would you like us to be able to do for you?"

The nun asked softly, even though her rank was well above Shade, but when he spoke, there was a natural humility in his tone. It certainly wasn't that she peeped into the secret of Shade's divinity, which the nun should always say.

Not only that, she also speaks Delarion, but her grammar is a bit odd. After thinking about it, Shade realized from the "Delarion Language Gift Pack" that the grammar she used was relatively old and not commonly used in modern times. This is a way of speaking that can only be heard in the kind of ancient noble family, Shade is curious about the other party's background before becoming a ring warlock.

"I would like to know more about [Life and Death], maybe you can provide some information."

Shade said, without moving the tea on the table.

"Of course, if it helps you rescue your friends, that would be great."

"Also, in the past, have you rescued those A precedent for people who have fallen into the boundary of life and death?"

Sister nodded:
"The world of the dead and the world of the living should not have any overlap, and those who should leave should leave forever. .And those who fall into the boundary of life and death belong to those who should not die but die unexpectedly, so there are indeed targeted rescues.”

Shade looked at each other, he believed that Sister Daveline could detect his Watch.

"But we also honor death and keep it with respect, not disturbing those who sleep, so very few people even within the Order know how to help those unfortunate to enter another. information about the living people in the world."

"What do I need to pay for the order to help me rescue my friends?"

Shade asked, even though he asked Jia Miss Linna will pay for her help, so she naturally understands that no one will help her for no reason.

“No.”

Sister Daveline shook her head slightly.

"You don't want to help?"

"I mean, I don't need compensation, I'm willing to help you on behalf of the order."

Shade was taken aback:
"Sorry, you mean, are you willing to help me save Augustus Priest from that supposedly unknowable relic?"

"Yes."

nun nodded.

This made Shade a little sorry. He just thought that the nun was trying to make him pay, so he repeatedly emphasized that the order respects the law of life and death.

"Sorry, please, um. Why are you willing to help me? I thought you would at least let me do some things for you, complete difficult tasks, and even investigate dangerous relics. Help."

With a quiet smile under her finely-patterned silver eyepatch, Sister Daveline sits gracefully, her white hands on her lap, even if Shade knows it. Princesses, probably can't show such an elegant temperament.

"Later Augustus priest has an old relationship with the predecessors of the order, and helping one kind person to save another kind person is what should be done."

She kept her head bowed slightly just now, and now she raised her head, her eyes behind the silver blindfold were facing Shade:

"Mr. John Watson, please answer a question : If it were you, would you help someone you don't know but need help urgently?"

This question doesn't need to be thought about at all, if Shade wasn't such a person, he wouldn't be in the girl's family who was about to be arrested. Turned around when Evil God took him away, he wouldn't have rolled that dice when the woman who lost the child asked for help, he wouldn't be here now. The last example is inappropriate because he and Ogu Priest is a very familiar person.

"I will, as long as it doesn't cost me a lot, I'm willing to help those kind people."

Shade said seriously, Sister Daveline's face Showing a smile:

"So, the order is also willing to help you. I don't want to say very deep truths, but this is a kind of bond, and the order believes that this kind of goodwill can make this world change. Better."

At this moment, Shade's respect for the [spirit cultivator] reached its climax.
