Although the eyes did not see it, the harsh curses and curses in the ears almost pierced the eardrums. At the same time, the huge terrifying existence perceived by the senses seemed to be slowly receding.
Princess Margaret certainly didn't understand the devil's language, which was full of curses and malice, but she and Dorothy both understood the last words of the fury:
"Just wait for me!"
The hand that melted in the white light of the badge wanted to slap the three people down before retreating, but the Moonlight Greatsword was already swinging towards the sky:
"Silver Moon!"
A third color other than darkness and pure white holy light erupted. The holy silver moonlight that almost blinded the eyes finally broke through this strange space completely.
The darkness receded, and the indescribable evil existence went away. As the princess gasped for breath, she suddenly felt like she had broken through the water under great pressure. The noise entered her ears, and she looked around. Everything in the Three Cats Inn was so normal, and the bard's song was still so soothing and tender.
Except that Victor Fanny's seat was empty, everything seemed to be unchanged. Even the Victor box on the table was gone, but she felt as if she had just woken up after a long sleep.
The princess finally came to her senses and groaned because of the severe headache, but she still wiped the blood from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. At this time, Xia De snapped his fingers and asked the waiter for three cups of hot tea.
Xia De and Mrs. Sang Mei had a good relationship. Although there were many guests at this time, their tea was served quickly. Xia De took out holy water from his pocket. It was not the fourth holy water, but the liquid that was close to the third holy water that priest Augustus could make at present. He added two whole bottles to the two cups of tea.
After stirring it slightly with a teaspoon, he pushed the teacup to the two girls. Dorothy was in good condition at this time, not only because she had encountered many strange things with the group, but also because the red butterfly pendant she was carrying was protecting her.
Dorothy took a sip of tea and felt warm all over. She looked around curiously, as if she couldn't help asking Shade questions. Princess Margaret took a big sip of tea, and her pale face finally showed some color.
"It seems that my prediction was wrong this time. I'm so unlucky. I thought I could get the relic, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
Xia De's voice rang out, he was really regretful:
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
He expressed his apologies to the two girls:
"I am the one who brought you to such a dangerous environment. I will make amends. Don't worry. That thing was too bold to try to contact us directly. My badge and magic caused it some minor injuries..."
The main reason was that the badge made by Augustus priests using the bones of the angel of death played a big role, and the final blow of Shade's "Light Spell" was effective. After all, both of them were almost directly restraining the evil spirits and demons of the Third Epoch. If it was other opponents, it would not be so simple.
"That was really..."
Princess Margaret still couldn't believe it. To her, the legendary "evil spirits and demons" of the Third Age were really just legends.
"Yes, it is a monster from ancient times. In the short term, a week or two, it won't come directly to us. But you can't relax too much, Dorothy. You can stay at my place during this time."
Shad held the blonde's hand. Dorothy smiled and nodded. Although she knew that this matter was dangerous, it was not particularly dangerous compared to Shad's other experiences. Dorothy knew Shad very well, and she knew from Shad's expression that this matter was not difficult.
"Miss Mary, are you protected by a high-level sorcerer?"
He asked again in a low voice, and after the princess nodded slightly, he said:
"Please try not to be too far away from her in the near future. To prevent any accidents, I will come to see you often in the next period of time, just..."
"An excuse to learn Carsenrick."
The girl with long blond hair said, her voice was so hoarse. She held the teacup, feeling the temperature of the tea, and saw Shad and Dorothy holding hands out of the corner of her eye:
"Today was so interesting that it was beyond my imagination. In the capital of the human kingdom, in a busy hotel, I encountered the evil spirit of the Third Age head-on... If I tell others about this, no one will believe me."
Shade said nothing and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket. The price of the holy water he bought from the Augustus priest was much cheaper than the container. "Holy water" is a special liquid that must be contained in a container of glass, glazed stone, pure gold or pure silver, which is not easy to carry.
He placed the holy water bottle on the bench where Victor Fanny had just sat. As soon as the bottom of the bottle touched the wooden surface of the bench, the transparent liquid in the bottle began to boil.
"It is indeed that kind of thing, but it doesn't matter, I am quite familiar with them."
Xia De took back the bottle and said:
"Actually, I'm not surprised by this. I have the equipment left by demon hunters from the Third Age. Encountering demons is my inevitable fate."
He was talking about the Mark of the Demon Hunter and the Night's Watch.
"Isn't this your first encounter with those evil spirits?"
Princess Margaret lowered her voice and widened her eyes slightly.
"Yes, the third time. It's nothing, ma'am."
This is the truth. Compared to the doctor, what Xia De experienced is nothing worth mentioning.
"Don't worry, I'll fix that thing within two weeks."
She thought to herself that she would kill it in a week at most. No stranger would keep such a horrible thing around to spy on her and Dorothy.
"During this time, Miss Mary, you will stay with the high-level sorcerer around you, and I will visit you often."
Princess Margaret pursed her lips and watched Shad pour the holy water that was emitting a soft glow onto the table to confirm whether there were any traces of the devil left on the table.
"Mr. Hamilton, it was my own choice to follow you in the investigation. You don't have to apologize. What I saw today was also a rare experience for a ring sorcerer like me who is trapped in the palace... Demon."
She did not look too worried. On the contrary, an unnatural blush appeared on her face.
"But do you experience this kind of thing often?"
"Of course not."
Shade shook his head. Currently, he only found the remaining power of the devil on the chair, and everything on the table was normal.
"I'm not unlucky often. This time it was an accident. I didn't expect that after finally receiving a commission, I would encounter something like this. Drink the whole cup of tea. Being in close contact with that kind of thing will greatly increase the probability of losing control."
Dorothy didn't have to worry about that, as Shad would soon let the writer go behind the dark door in the basement to see her "dark side".
He sighed:
"That guy probably doesn't dare to come back. I'll ask someone to look for contraband in room 413. Now come home with me. I have a batch of holy water stored at home. Miss Mary, you can take some back."
As long as the "holy water" is sealed and kept in a low temperature environment, it can be stored for a long time, so Shade stored a large amount of it in the basement of his home as a backup. Even though the effect of the No. 4 holy water is relatively insignificant, after all, the Augustus priests have a large shipment and the price is cheap.
Dorothy recovered quickly and was writing something in her notebook with great interest. Princess Margaret still looked a little unwell. After Shad bought the bench contaminated by the devil's power, the three of them took a carriage back to No. 6 St. Teresa's Square.
After entering Shade's house, the princess of the Southern Kingdom obviously felt better. After Shade took the night watchman wrapped in cloth and "stabbed" the princess in the middle of the eyebrows and chest, her complexion completely returned to normal.
Today's experiences were a bit too exciting even for a ring wizard. Her Royal Highness the Princess held a simple exorcism ceremony in the attic of Shade's house before leaving, and promised that Shade would find her when he had time. She was a little curious about the so-called "devil", after all, this kind of knowledge was not something that an ordinary ring wizard could access.
After seeing Princess Margaret off, Shade told the writer that it would be best for her to stay at number 6, Saint Teresa Square for the next few days:
"sure!"
Dorothy held the reluctant Little Mia in her arms and said with a smile:
"I know you can handle this. Don't feel sorry for involving us in something dangerous. In the summer, when you just became a ring wizard, I involved you in the Joyful Dream Pen Out of Control incident. Isn't it similar to the current situation? We are both ring wizards, and this situation is unavoidable."
She moved closer to Shade:
"However, my soul and Leicia's are connected to each other. Will the devil hurt her?"
"I've thought about this. I'll lend her the Demon Hunting Seal while we watch the opera tonight. That way, even if she's not with me, I won't have to worry about anything happening to her in the short term."
After all, as long as Leicia doesn't run around, there are large-scale exorcism, blessing and exorcism ceremonies arranged by the church around the Yodel Palace. The security level of the Yodel Palace is second only to the churches of the five true gods in Tobesk City.
When she heard the word "opera", the writer smiled:
"Don't you still have to clean up room 413 at the Three Cats Inn? Go do that first. You don't have to accompany me back to Quill Street to pack my clothes. I need to tell the landlady that I'll be staying out for a few days. I hope she doesn't think I'm a bad girl."
"Take the Night's Watch with you."
"Yes, yes, that's very cautious."
said Dorothy, and then, lowering her voice a little:
"Remember to come back early after you finish your work. I've picked out some clothes for you. Take a shower and then go watch the opera with Resia. She's looking forward to tonight. After all, she rarely gets to go out with you alone with her own body."
After saying that, he added:
"She chose a four-hour opera this time."
Xia De thought about it and asked softly in her ear. The writer blushed and shook her head:
"Tonight is Leisia's time. I won't disturb you. Have fun..."
