Afterwards, Shade told Professor Garcia what he had discussed with him privately. The other four were also very happy that Shade had obtained such a powerful magic. As for his request to see the "Sublimation Code" in advance, they did not have much opinion, but they thought that Shade had underestimated the difficulty of obtaining the Spirit Rune after obtaining the Blasphemous Gluttony.
When the topic of the potion was finally brought up, Shade simply said it had a special use, but didn't say how to use it specifically.
The preparation of potions is a delicate job, and it is extremely time-consuming and expensive, so Miss Louisa initially advised Shad not to choose the College of Chemistry.
After asking the old priest, the in-good-humored priest Augustus agreed to help prepare the "cost of growth". Those materials can be found in the local black market, but not many people know how to prepare potions. The old priest even only charged Shade a simple material fee, which was not much in total, and it was not necessary for the detective who suddenly became "rich".
"The Price of Growth" requires some time to configure, and Shad wants to use it in the early hours of Thursday morning, so the priest promises to write to him and ask him to pick it up next Tuesday or Wednesday.
But the potion matter went smoothly, but no one in the team had the Time Key. This relic was only useful to the ring wizard who possessed the Time Spirit Rune. Dr. Schneider had obtained one a long time ago, but he had already handed it over to the academy.
As for Shade's question about whether there was a way to allow ordinary people to gain power, the four shook their heads. If this could be done easily, then ring sorcerers wouldn't be so rare.
But Miss Louisa is worthy of being a writer, she provided Shad with a completely new idea.
The blonde girl looked at Shade and asked thoughtfully:
"What exactly do you mean by power?"
This sentence made Shade suddenly realize, and he even wanted to hug Miss Louisa to express his gratitude. However, in order not to be disliked and misunderstood by the female sorcerers in the same group, he did not do so.
Personal power does not necessarily refer to force, other powers are also power. Especially fooling children... ... Especially persuading children, even if it is impossible to make the girl have mysterious powers, there is a lot of knowledge in the heads of outsiders that is not convenient to express.
"You have been very helpful, and I owe you a lot for the newspaper advertisement, Miss Louisa. When I get this month's money, I will definitely take you to the most expensive opera in the city's opera house."
His promise made Miss Louisa feel puzzled:
"I'm honored... Oh, the fairy tale you asked for."
She handed the pages wrapped in newspaper to Shade:
"Remember to return it to me next Saturday, and don't damage the edges of the pages."
"no problem."
Now I owe even more favors.
There was not much to do at today's study session. After congratulating the doctor on his recovery, the other four said goodbye and left. Of course, Shade did not forget to confirm the doctor and the old priest's schedule on Sunday night. Fortunately, they didn't even know Duke Lucas.
Now Xia De can go to the card game with peace of mind.
After leaving the clinic, Father Augustus continued to walk with Shade. On Roentgen Avenue, when they passed by a group of Tobysk University students in school uniforms, Shade mentioned that he wanted to find an opportunity to thank Miss Louisa, and asked Father Augustus if he knew the hobbies of the blonde writer.
"She doesn't seem to have many hobbies... writing probably counts, but she also likes opera and seems to be good at music."
The priest pondered, but his tone was uncertain.
Shade nodded and whispered as he looked at the afternoon streets of Tobesk. It was only four o'clock now, and the days in summer were long:
"It sounds like Miss Louisa has a really good family background. These hobbies are not something that a poor family can cultivate. I just found out that Miss Louisa's father is a professor at the local university in Tobesk."
Father Augustus nodded:
"Yes, she comes from a good family. So Louisa can be considered the only normal person among the five of us."
"What does this mean?"
Xia De asked curiously, and as the two of them walked through the intersection together, the old priest explained:
"Louisa is a native of Tobisk. She comes from a wealthy upper-class family. Her father is a professor at Tobisk College of Higher Education, and her mother is the youngest daughter of the late Viscount Cade. Louisa has two older brothers and a younger sister. After successfully completing her education at the women's college, she moved out to live independently and make a living. Then she awakened her talent and was met by a doctor. Both of her parents are still alive, and she has a good relationship with her family. Compared to me, an old widower who has never been married in my life."
Point to yourself.
"Orphan Bill."
Pointing to the Schneider Psychological Clinic in the back.
"Annate, whose parents died young and she has no relatives."
Pointing in the direction where the fortune teller who claimed to be going out of town for business left, Shad knew that she actually wanted to "accidentally meet" Miss Beatrice.
"And you, a former homeless person with no memories of your past."
This time pointing at Shad.
"Dorothy Louisa is the happiest one among the five of us. She seems so happy that she shouldn't be mixed with such unlucky guys like us."
The priest concluded, pulling out his pipe from his bosom, as if he wanted to take a puff.
Xia De nodded as he listened to the news. It was the first time he heard about the backgrounds of other members of the group.
But he wondered:
"But I always feel that Miss Louisa seems to have some story. She seems to be very familiar with the nobles' stuff, and she has an indescribable, probably very unique temperament."
Xia De said hesitantly, and the two of them stopped and waited for the movers in front who were carrying a leather sofa to cross first.
A smile appeared on Father Augustus's face, smoothing out his wrinkles. He held his pipe in one hand, patted Shade's shoulder with the other, and said cheerfully:
"I can't explain this, but Louisa's mother is just a daughter without inheritance rights, so she is not a noble, and she doesn't seem to have any connection with my grandfather. Are you interested in Louisa? That's right, we are all young people of the same age."
The priest joked.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just... Never mind. We can't delve too much into other people's secrets."
Shade shook his head and dropped the subject.
It was still early, and after learning that Shad had time today, Father Augustus invited the detective to go with him to the Dawn Church to take away the house deed and land deeds, and also asked the people from the Dawn Church to survey the house to make sure that the closed areas could be opened.
This matter was not troublesome at all. The two of them walked back to St. Teresa's Square together. Shade went home to get the detective's suicide note and the death certificate that Father Augustus had prepared in advance. Then the priest led Shade to the Dawn Church in Dawn Square. While greeting acquaintances, they walked through the magnificent main hall of the Dawn Church. The priest prayed for a while under the holy emblem, and then led Shade around the magnificent corridor. In the office marked "Document Storage Room", they found the middle-aged priest who was drinking tea and reading novels to while away the afternoon.
The name of the novel is "Explorers in the Eye of the Storm", and it is a maritime novel about the exploration of routes between the New and Old Worlds. Because it involves the lives of sailors, there are many colorful parts. It is very interesting that such a book appears in the church.
