"Meow~"
The cat, who was picking at Shade's clothes by the pillow and trying to get him to share some food, suddenly raised his head and looked at the falling snow on the ceiling with curiosity. This strange scene was reflected in his amber eyes. He stretched out his little paw to touch the falling snow in front of him. He was frightened by the cold feeling after touching it, but soon stretched out his paw again out of curiosity.
Judging from Miss Mia Gold's letter, Mia is less than six months old and has probably never seen snow.
Miss Louisa looked around. This was still Shade's bedroom. Although snowflakes were falling from the ceiling, compared to last night, the current situation was too ordinary.
"This is the only way I can do for now. I can feel how powerful the magic I master is, but I can't use it. I can only make snow fall in a certain area. Fortunately, it maintains the appearance of snow and basically does not consume my spirit and elements."
Shade said, and then canceled the magic effect, otherwise he would not be able to eat his breakfast.
Mia looked a little disappointed and kept scratching Shad's quilt, making noises. She liked these white, cool things.
Miss Louisa thought for a moment:
"Sure enough, it's just as I expected. Your level as a ring sorcerer is too low, and your spirits are too few. So even though this magic is completely yours, only part of its effect can be realized. This is easy to understand."
She said regretfully, looking at the angry cat, and added:
"But there is hope for the future. This is equivalent to saying that after you are promoted to a higher level, you will be able to master a powerful magic immediately."
Xia De nodded, took a bite of the scrambled eggs, and found that they tasted good. It seemed that Miss Louisa, who lived alone, had already mastered the skill of cooking.
"By the way, why did you engrave the rune of the little match girl? I was right next to you last night, and the scene when you engraved the rune seemed a little different from the usual one..."
She said it hesitantly, this was probably the question she really wanted to ask.
Before Xia De could answer, Miss Louisa took the initiative to introduce herself:
"I once told you that my lower four rings use the story of The Little Match Girl to connect the words of sublimation. The Enlightenment Rune Matches obtained from the story, the Enlightenment Rune Dreams obtained from the story, the Whispering Rune Frozen to Death obtained from touching the relics, and the Blasphemous Rune Compassion obtained with the help of the doctor, together with my own writer, construct the words of sublimation - in addition to the Dreams of the Matches, the Writer Compassion for the Frozen to Death."
The life ring slowly appeared behind the blonde girl, and the five spirit runes she mentioned appeared in front of Shade. In addition, Miss Louisa also had the four spirit runes required for the fourth ring, and she was qualified to be promoted to the fifth ring.
"You see, detective, I also know about the power of the little match girl, but I have never heard of anyone being able to directly engrave the Enlightenment Rune with the name of the story. Or even the magic associated with the rune is to fully reproduce the story."
She looked at Shade, with an inquiring look in her green eyes. Shade also looked at the blonde girl, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Miss Louisa leaned forward slightly, allowing Shade to smell the faint perfume on her body and asked.
She was a little embarrassed and asked softly and tentatively:
"Although this is incredible, considering the questions you asked when you came to my house on Thursday morning (note), and based on common sense, Shad Suellen Hamilton, you wouldn't..."
Xia De saw his own reflection in Miss Louisa's eyes, and calling her by her full name would usually only happen in serious conversations.
Miss Louisa looked at him expectantly, but Shad made up his mind to let her speak for herself:
"Isn't that the original author of The Little Match Girl?"
Shade blinked, and the air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment. Miss Louisa held her breath, and Shade looked away from her and nodded:
"Yes, that's me."
"Oh~"
Miss Louisa pursed her lips and shrank back, leaning back on the chair, watching Shade sitting on the bed eating. After a while, she said:
"Although I guessed it, it's still incredible to hear you admit it yourself... You just told me like that?"
"Why can't I tell you? Miss Louisa, will you tell anyone else my secret?"
Xia De asked the question in a retreating manner.
"Of course not. Since you trust me, I certainly can't say anything nonsense."
The blonde girl shook her head and smiled in relief. The strange atmosphere between the two of them since she asked the question dissipated because of Shade's answer:
"I'm just curious. After all, everyone has mastered the power of the match girl. You have reached the end in one step, but I am still moving forward step by step... ... You are using the time key to... ... No, you don't have to answer."
Xia De stared at the scrambled eggs on the plate, which smelled very rich.
The next words were about his secret, but after thinking carefully, since Miss Louisa had already guessed it, he might as well be honest. After all, the only secret he really wanted to keep was his identity as a foreigner.
So I put down my cutlery temporarily:
"It doesn't matter, it's just the time key. I told you that the first time exploration I experienced was an angel-level key, but it wasn't. It was an unknowable-level key. I saw God, and God helped me, so there are traces of me in the past..."
He nodded to Miss Louisa, meaning that this was it. Miss Louisa raised her head and covered her forehead with her hands, looking past Shade at the morning light through the gap in the curtains:
"I didn't expect to hear something like this so early in the morning."
"Can't accept that?"
Shad took a bite of the bread, tore off a little and handed it to Mia, and the cat immediately stretched its head and took a small bite.
"This explanation makes sense... My mind tells me that what you said is true, but emotionally, I can't accept such a magical thing... Okay, I accept it, it sounds reasonable... So when you were in Lake View Manor, it was okay to face the evil god, because that was not the first time you met with God..."
She murmured to herself, while Shad lowered his head to eat. Of course, he could cook, but he was not very accustomed to the eating habits of this world, and his cooking skills were not good, so breakfast was usually bread.
"Xia De, I won't tell anyone else about this. If you hadn't told me, I would have never guessed that the Enlightenment Rune could be obtained this way. It's really amazing. If this can be made public, it will probably be the most significant achievement in the study of the Enlightenment element in the past hundred years."
She adjusted her mood and took a deep breath:
"Shade, can you agree to a request of mine?"
"What?"
Xia De looked up at her. The blonde girl's eyes seemed to be shining. She spoke only after she had made up her mind:
"Let me be your teacher."
"ha?"
