Although the devil has now hidden his whereabouts, no one can tell how many "Victor Boxes" he has sold in Tobesk. In order to maintain the peace of the city, in addition to killing Victor Fanny, Shade and the doctor also need to notify the church to recycle the boxes that have been sold.
This matter can be done by Yin Luna. In the morning, Luvia said that she would tell Yin Luna. Yin Luna is very experienced in reporting various illegal and criminal activities.
Of course, there is no need to worry about the church defeating the devil first. Only those who have personally received the test from the "Secret Keeper" can complete the test. Therefore, the church cannot obtain pyroxene by defeating the devil, and Shade cannot rely on the "Abyss Sin Potion" and "Human Body Jigsaw" to obtain pyroxene.
After last week's adventures, life seems to have calmed down this week. At least not much happened this Wednesday.
Shad did not receive any news from Dr. Schneider, nor did he ask the doctor, because the doctor was probably more anxious than he was, fearing that the demon would leave Tobesk.
However, at four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Shad received news from Dorothy that Princess Margaret had returned to Canary Manor where she was staying after attending a diplomatic event.
So before dinner, Shad visited Canary Manor in the southern part of Tobesk. As a friend of Princess Margaret, he was allowed to enter the manor and had the opportunity to talk to the princess alone.
As for the excuse, it was of course the one agreed upon last time, and the enthusiastic Princess Margaret taught Shadkasenrick the language.
The actual reason why Shad came to visit was, on the one hand, to ask the princess whether she was being entangled by the devil, and on the other hand, to give her the alchemical item made by Dr. Schneider to prevent and treat the devil.
"This black cloth belt will work if you tie it around your arm."
Xia De briefly introduced the function of this item in the study. The princess with long light golden hair was very surprised. She didn't expect Xia De to come up with the finished product so quickly.
She wanted to talk to Shade again about demons and this city. The steam capital of the North was indeed new to Margaret of Anjou, who had lived in Verendel for a long time. Shade also knew that if he just stayed in the study for five minutes and then left, it would be very suspicious, so he stayed and talked to the princess about local interesting things and the secrets of the local ring magicians that he had heard from Dr. Schneider.
Princess Margaret was very happy that someone could take the initiative to talk to her about this. If it wasn't inconvenient for Shad to stay for dinner, she would even want Shad to talk for a while. But at 5:30 in the afternoon, Shad was already thinking about going home for dinner. Dorothy and Mia were waiting for him.
So he said goodbye to Princess Margaret and, led by the servant, left the study and walked towards the stairs leading downstairs.
As he walked down the stairs, Shade realized that the badge on his chest was getting hot. Then, as expected, he met Miss Sylvia who was going upstairs under the landscape painting of the Terrarelle River at the corner of the second floor.
The witch looked at Shade with a sidelong glance, but did not greet him. Shade nodded slightly, then followed the servant to the first floor.
Miss Sylvia continued to walk upstairs and found Princess Margaret in the study, who had not yet left:
"I saw a man just now, I think it was... Hamilton? I remember he asked me for help on a mathematical paper."
The witch said jokingly, sitting on the chair that Shade had just sat on. Princess Margaret immediately stood up from behind the desk:
"Mr. Hamilton came to me to ask for advice on the Carsenrick language and gave me a book."
She said a little nervously.
"Book?"
Miss Sylvia raised her eyebrows:
"I didn't know you were so familiar with that knight."
In fact, she knew.
"Just a few more words in public..."
The princess carefully defended herself and glanced at the book currently on the table, the title of which was "Tracing the History of the City of Tobesk".
"Is this book rare? Did you ask him to find it?"
Miss Sylvia asked again. The princess pursed her lips, regretting that she didn't put away the things Shade gave her immediately. Now the black cloth belt was in her hand. She didn't believe she could hide it from her teacher:
"Teacher, actually he is..."
"The Ringmaster, is he the local correspondence ringmaster? If I can't even guess this, how can I be your teacher?"
The young witch asked back with a smile, but in fact, Shad's identity was revealed by Shad himself in Huntington City, not guessed by her.
The princess immediately showed an expression of shame on her face, and Miss Sylvia shook her head:
"It's normal to socialize with correspondence students from other places. Don't worry, I'll just pretend I know nothing today, but what did the knight give you?"
The princess then took out the black cloth. The cloth was extremely light and felt unusually cold. When encountering a demon, she tied it to her right arm to temporarily expel the demon.
"It seems that your new friend is quite capable."
Miss Sylvia commented that Princess Margaret was clutching the ribbon, wondering what she was thinking.
Although there was no news from the devil on Wednesday, on Thursday, Dr. Schneider asked someone to deliver a letter to Shad.
The letter mentioned that the doctor had found Victor Fanny's whereabouts, but it would still take one to two days to search and locate him, so that Shad could be ready to set off at any time.
"Since the doctor has found the other party's trace, the demon will most likely not be able to escape."
Shade is quite optimistic about this.
So on the following snowy Thursday, he still chose to read at home with Dorothy.
In the morning, it was the writer's own soul that was there. Her back was extremely moving as she stood by the window holding a book and looking at the snow scene.
After lunch, Shade went to Canary Manor, where Princess Margaret was staying, to check on her. On the way to "learn a foreign language", he unexpectedly met Miss Sylvia again, but the young witch still did not talk to Shade. After Shade finished chatting with Princess Margaret for more than half an hour, she quietly stopped him and asked him if he had learned any new space magic recently.
The witch wanted to teach Shade some interesting abilities, but her level was too high, and Shade had to go to the middle ring at least to learn from her.
When Shade returned home at 2pm, it was the soul of Lecia who greeted him at home:
"Anyway, my job this afternoon is to go to the lecture, so it's okay to let Dorothy take my place."
The blonde girl was in the hallway brushing the snow off Shade's shoulders. Then she asked half-jokingly:
"How does it feel to live with a beautiful girl?"
It was obvious that she was somewhat envious of Dorothy. Her Royal Highness wanted everything, and in this respect she had many similarities with Shad.
However, when the snow stopped in the evening, Shad's neighbor, old Sir Fleming of 23 St. Teresa's Square, asked Shad to help him find his lost pet dog.
Shade had received many commissions to find cats, but this was his first time to find a dog. He thought it would take two or three days, and Shade himself did not expect that when he and Dorothy, who had been replaced again, went out for dinner in the evening and returned home, they saw the dog that was almost exactly the same as the one in the photo, standing on the street and barking at several stray dogs.
"Little Taka!"
Xia De called out the name of the black and white spotted dog, and the latter turned around and looked at him. Then, the pet dog and the two stray dogs, one black and one yellow, started barking at Xia De.
Dorothy, wearing a red scarf, covered her mouth and chuckled. Mia, who was held by her, had squinted her eyes and hid her head behind the hem of her scarf, enjoying the leisure time after dinner. At this time, she was annoyed by the continuous barking of dogs. She stuck her head out from behind Dorothy's scarf and found that it was only the dog that made the sound, so she called out "Meow~".
The sound did not sound intimidating to Xia De, but it frightened the three dogs and made them turn around and run away.
This led to Shade chasing the pet dog "Little Taka" for two blocks before he caught up with the dog, who was leaking urine while running. The dog ran too fast and plunged into a snowdrift before being forced to stop.
When Shard and the dog reunited with Dorothy, who was holding the cat, the pet dog pretended to be dead again. It was not until they returned to St. Teresa's Square and Shard knocked on the door of old Sir Fleming that the dog quickly ran into the house and seemed not to dare to come out again for a short time.
“This is really easy money.”
As he took out his key and opened his door, Shad said to Dorothy, and the writer smiled:
"It's mainly due to luck, and it also has something to do with old Sir Fleming being very rich."
"What does that knight do?"
Shard did not know his neighbors very well, but Dorothy did:
"Both knights and non-hereditary barons can be called knights. Sir Fleming was the butler of Yodel Palace when my grandfather was still alive. Yes, no need to ask. I know that most royal butlers originally had noble titles, but his son participated in the political incident more than 20 years ago, and the family's noble title was stripped. But Sir Fleming is loyal, so he still has the status of a lifelong baron."
In just one sentence, not only did it involve the political conspiracy of the kingdom, but it also pointed out the rich life story behind the old knight:
"But why doesn't anyone call me Sir?"
Shad asked curiously, opening the door and returning home with Dorothy.
"Because you are the only knight who has been awarded the title for military exploits in the past hundred years, people like to call you by this title directly."
Dorothy said with a smile that Leicia liked to call Shad "Knight" directly.
The generations of girls who grew up reading knight novels have an unimaginable fondness for this title. The fact that the "scandal" between Shade and Miss Carina could spread so quickly and widely is also largely related to the two titles of "Duke and Young Knight".
Another small incident happened on Thursday night. At eight o'clock in the evening, Shad was in the study helping Dorothy translate the ancient documents of the Fifth Epoch that she might encounter in her final exam. He was thinking that if there was no news from Dr. Schneider tomorrow, he would go to Coldwater Harbor and Midhill Castle for a stroll. At this time, Dorothy was in the kitchen washing the apples and pears that Leicia had sent in the afternoon.
Suddenly Mia "meowed", and Shade noticed that something was glowing in the drawer. After opening it, he found that it was a page of poetry manuscript that conveyed new information.
Miss Danister, the librarian at St. Byrons, will meet him in twenty minutes, and Shad needs to prepare for the projection ceremony in advance.
