Although she felt a little disappointed that she could not follow Miss Carina to the Green Lake area like Ajelina and several other brothers and sisters, she was comforted by the thought that it would be more convenient to see Shad if she stayed in Tobesk.
I don't know if it was because she wanted to vent her frustrated emotions, or if she deliberately took advantage of Miss Carina's absence and couldn't come to see Shad, but Her Royal Highness borrowed Dorothy's body and completely relaxed on this Saturday night.
The result was that on Sunday morning, when Shad had prepared breakfast and he and Mia were calling Dorothy to get up and eat, the blonde pulled up the quilt, hiding her white shoulders and most of her face, which were shining in the bright sunshine:
"Please don't wake me up before noon... Next time, I will definitely teach Leicia a lesson."
The voice was lazy, and considering that today was Sunday, Shad did not bother her.
Therefore, Dorothy did not see the blind nun coming out of the basement half an hour later. Dorothy was in a daze and probably did not hear Shad saying that he was going to see Father Augustus and would come back to bring her lunch at noon.
So Mia stayed at home, while Shad and the nun who had arrived early in the morning got on the carriage at the door of their house, preparing to go directly to the Three Cats Inn in the north of the city to meet Father Augustus.
It is worth mentioning that, because of the crowded Tobesk event, Sister Defulyn's outfit today is no longer the usual gray-black nun's robe with a silver eye mask. Instead, it is the look she wore when she and Shad went to the Crow Club to visit Joe Yin Barton in Midhill Castle, pretending to seek help from divination.
Sister Defulin wore a simple grey dress with a black belt around her waist. The silver eye mask was replaced with a thin veil, and behind the veil, white strips of cloth could be seen wrapped around her eyes to cover her abnormal eyes.
This was the second time Shad had seen Sister Defulin dressed like this. He had to admit that this outfit, combined with her cold and talkative temperament, made the nun even more...
"What am I thinking about?"
He scolded himself in his heart, doubting that he had not yet recovered from the hard work of the past few days, and then hesitated, not knowing whether he should compliment Sister Defulin on her outfit today.
On the carriage to the Anthem Square, Shade did not forget to chat with the nun about the recent events in the Green Lake area, and happily announced that he had found another demon, and that there would probably be new demon remains that could be used as firewood for the First Fire to burn soon. Sister Defulin's expression did not change much, but she told Shade that although there was no Snake Heart Hospital in the Green Lake area, she would soon arrive in the Green Lake area with Grandma Cassandra and her group:
"Probably next weekend, or the week after that."
Her words were still brief and her tone was so calm that Xia De wondered if she also had a spiritual rune like "indifference".
The First Fire burned brightly in her soul.
"She" suddenly said, Xia De blinked suspiciously:
"so... ... "
"She" smiled gently, but refused to continue telling Shad about Sister Defulin.
"Shad, you also need to pay attention to the lunar eclipse next Wednesday."
Sister Defulin continued, and Shad nodded. The nun had mentioned this matter last time. But he obviously misunderstood. Sister Defulin mentioned the lunar eclipse this time, not because of him:
"The reciprocating cycle of the moon and the sun is the most important force that maintains the material world. The occurrence of lunar and solar eclipses will cause a very brief imbalance in the world order. For places like Midhill Castle last fall, where the order of life and death is already out of balance, it will have a greater impact."
"But wasn't the situation in Middlesbrough already... well, unbalanced?"
He knew what Sister Defulin was worried about.
Father Augustus and Durut Giles were both very punctual. When Shad entered the Three Cats Inn in his true appearance, holding the hand of the "disabled" nun, they were already seated on the first floor.
Durrut Giles was sitting on the first floor near the stairs. On the table was a package sent by the doctor. He was concentrating on his breakfast, while Rusty Edwards kept making faces in front of him, trying to attract his attention.
Father Augustus sat not far from them, near the minstrel performance stage. Of course, there was no one performing so early in the morning. In front of the priest was a cup of tea and an empty plate. He was unfolding a newspaper. On the outer page was a picture of Miss Carina and King Larousse III waving to the farewell crowd yesterday evening.
Even on the right edge of the picture, Ajelina can be seen.
"Two cups of tea, and a plate of dessert, nothing too sweet."
Xia De walked to the counter and said, seeing the female owner, Mrs. Sang Mei, looking at the nun he was holding hands with, so he warned Mrs. Sang Mei before she could speak:
"Ma'am, it is very immoral to make fun of disabled people."
"No, no, why would I do that? Detective Hamilton, I was just trying to play a joke on you."
Mrs. Sangmei laughed happily, but fortunately she didn't tell the joke out loud. Xia De also knew very well what she originally wanted to say.
Neither Durut Giles nor the confused girl's soul could recognize Shad, so Shad sat with Sister Defulin on the other side away from Priest Augustus, so that the two of them and the priest could observe the girl's soul from all angles.
It was not clear what method Father August used to observe Shade, but Sister Defulin's method was much simpler. She only needed to "see" to see the deepest secrets of the soul. This was originally the nun's talent. After the nun became the chosen one of death and recovered more than one split flame of the first fire, and with the many firewoods that Shade found, this ability to "see" became stronger.
She didn't even take off her veil or the cloth in front of her eyes, and looked directly in the direction of the soul. Most powerful souls can sense "peeping", but although Durutte Giles said that the girl's soul was strong, she still couldn't detect that Sister Defulin was looking at her.
Xia De thought that the nun would look at him for a long time, but unexpectedly, she withdrew her "gaze" after only a dozen seconds.
"Okay."
The nun nodded slightly to Shade, and at this moment, the servant of the hotel also brought the tea and snacks that Shade had just ordered. If he stood up and left at this moment, he would appear suspicious, so Shade wanted to ask the nun to sit for a while before leaving. Unexpectedly, Sister Defulin took the initiative to reach out and pick up the teacup, and asked with her head tilted slightly:
"What's wrong?"
Father Augustus did not communicate with Shade and the others the entire time, and left immediately. Twenty minutes after the father left, Shade helped Sister Defulin out of the hotel.
They took a carriage back to Saint Teresa's Square and saw the priest who had arrived earlier. He was sitting on the edge of the fountain in the center of the square where a girl was holding a water bottle and feeding the pigeons with bread crumbs.
Xia De opened the door and let the priest and Sister Defulin in. The two had entered the real death with Xia De and Yin Luna. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they were acquaintances, so Xia De did not need to introduce them to each other:
"How is it going?"
Dorothy still hadn't gotten up. Shad, holding the cat, sat down in the living room with the nun and the priest. The priest glanced at the bedroom door blocked by the moonlight thorn bushes and spoke carefully:
“The soul is incomplete.”
His eyes were sharp:
“The loss of memory and spirituality is because the soul is incomplete.”
Then he paused, his face very serious:
"Dividing the soul is a very evil act no matter what era it is. I remember you mentioned the prophecy that the Edwards family will eventually reunite on that island. It seems that the other part of her soul should still be on that island, which can ensure that she can go back when necessary."
Sister Defulin put her hands together on her skirt and nodded gently:
"Besides that, the soul of Durrut Giles has a strange connection with the soul of Rust Edwards."
The nun didn't say much, so Father Augustus added:
"To be more specific, although the two are not related, their soul fluctuations are almost the same. This is very rare, which means that their souls have great similarities. Therefore, the girl's soul stayed with Durut Giles for a long time, which could slowly repair her soul. But even if it is completely repaired, the lost memories will definitely not come back."
"Will their souls merge?"
Shad asked suddenly, and Father Augustus thought the question was strange:
"I don't see any such signs. Why do you think two different human souls can merge? This is a strange question."
Xia De hurriedly shook his head, covered his forehead and sighed:
"I've been encountering similar things recently... Sister, although Rusty Edwards' soul is incomplete, you should have seen something, right?"
"Some incomplete memories."
Sister Defulin continued to nod:
"My ability is not to read through a person's entire life, but to see the most profound scenes in memory, or to search for a certain memory with a purpose. I don't know her, so I saw very little."
She sorted out her words:
"Lassiter Edwards has five most vivid memories. The most recent one is meeting you earlier this week. She thought you were a terrible person."
“Am I terrible?”
Shade then asked the cat lying on his lap, Mia squinted her eyes and meowed, then turned over on Shade's lap, revealing her snow-white belly, which should mean that Shade is not scary.
