“The question now is, when do we do this?”
The point Miss Beatrice made was that in this bright lounge, after just a few dozen minutes of planning, a preliminary action plan had been formed.
Before tonight, they had never thought that things would go so smoothly, but the three of them had their own special features, and they were regular ring sorcerers trained by the church and the academy. Although the Silver Eyed One had nine rings, he came from an illegal organization and was seriously injured. Although the sum of the three of them equaled the number of rings of the Silver Eyed One after he was injured, the fight between ring sorcerers was far from enough just by looking at the level.
"The sooner the better. The Blood Spirit School has sent an eighth-ring and a ninth-ring sorcerer to help Mercury Blood. They will arrive around the weekend of next week. So, we must take action within a week."
Shade provided another key piece of information. The information about the Blood Spirit School was heard from Miss Carina at the Yodel Palace on Wednesday.
"It would be best if it could be done before Thursday. The church has decided to launch an operation on Thursday night to eradicate the cultists who believe in the evil god Blood Feast Lord. The thirteenth ring warlock Sunshine Great Sword will lead the team. After this, Mercury Blood will also be on high alert."
Miss Beatrice also provided the information she had.
"How about another divination?"
Miss Beatrice picked up the last blood money, but Miss Annette shook her head:
"I was just trying to get information. This can be used for divination. But if you want to deliberately use fate to spy on the best future, you may put yourself in a more dangerous situation."
The dean of the Astronomy College had predicted something similar for Shade, but that only provided a vague outline of the future. If he wanted to use divination to determine the exact future, Shade was worried that the three would encounter the same suffering and misfortune that the Heart Collector and Wednesday Shade had suffered after their foolish "manipulation of fate".
So he approved of Miss Annette's caution.
"Moreover, we must leave the last blood money behind to look for other blood money... When does the church plan to take action on Thursday?"
Miss Anat asked.
"Thursday night, exact time and location unknown."
"Then we will also act on Thursday night and let the church involve more people. Now it's the weekend, and we have half a week to prepare, but we should not involve unnecessary people in this matter. It is enough for the three of us to know all the details."
This is to keep the affairs of the "chosen one" secret.
Shade also agreed to act at night, after all, he could still use illusions at night.
Miss Anat continued to arrange:
"Ms. Bei Yasi, in the next half week, try to find out the action plan that the church will launch. After the church launches the action, the people of Mercury Blood will definitely go to support those cultists. We can take this opportunity to enter the ruins."
"no problem."
Miss Beatrice nodded, and Miss Annette reminded:
"To become a true chosen one, you must also understand the meaning of balance. There is no hard and fast numerical indicator for understanding. You need to think about how you can interpret this concept. Shade and I can't help you with this. Please work hard on your own."
The young sorceress was a little worried, but compared to the eyes that were about to be revealed, it was nothing, so she nodded:
"I see."
Miss Anat pointed at herself again:
"I will use the next four days to investigate as much as possible the entrance to the ruins, that is, the situation near the printing factory, to ensure that there will not be too many accidents. As for you, Xia De..."
Purple eyes looked at Xia De, as if thinking about what to arrange for him to do, but Xia De had already made a plan:
"Ms. Annat, I'm probably going to be away for a long time."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know either. Maybe it's far away, maybe it's close, but there's a high probability that I'll gain a lot."
This answer made Miss Annat frown, but Shade was willing to believe Miss Danister's divination, especially after her divination, Shade encountered something that required more strength:
"Don't worry, I'll be back by Thursday no matter what."
As he spoke, he took out the folded carbon paper of the Secret Keeper-level Relic Witch from his pocket and handed it to Miss Bei Yasi:
"I can't keep this, Miss Bei Yasi. I want to copy the magic 'Sunshine Great Sword'. Can you help me?"
That is the powerful magic that the Thirteen-Ring Warlock of the Church is famous for. Originally, the choice was between the Sunshine Greatsword and the Space-Time Magic, but now it is time to make a decision.
"No problem, it's easy."
The seventeen-year-old girl agreed immediately:
"I had a good relationship with Mr. Hogg Rundle when I was training in the Church. It won't be difficult to find an excuse to ask him to demonstrate some magic."
In this way, once a similar magic is obtained from the "Sunshine Greatsword", Shad's "Blade of Chaos Time" can also be used.
"Okay then."
Miss Anat looked at the young detective and the sorceress of the church. The former frowned as if she was thinking about something, while the latter had a serious expression, realizing that half a week would determine the fate of her life.
"The action is Thursday night, so we'll gather at Shad's house on Wednesday night to finally discuss the final plan."
"No problem. I'll bring the carbon paper to the detective then."
"I'm fine too, I hope everything goes well."
As he spoke, he looked out the window. The heavy curtains were drawn inside the room, and outside was the quiet night of the Pearl of the North. On this seemingly ordinary night, Xia De understood that perhaps the decision made by the three people would affect the history of the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
Outsider, you are finally involved in the epic of the Sixth Age.
"Now that we're here, no one can escape. Instead of being passively involved, if we take the initiative to participate, we will probably have more initiative."
A smile appeared on his lips as he watched Miss Beatrice and Miss Annat whispering about going to get the bell later.
When Miss Bei Ya Si learned that the female fortune teller was going to give her a very powerful relic, her face turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed.
You don't seem nervous about what's happening in four days.
"My companions all have their own powers. We even divined the possible troubles in advance and were able to prepare four days in advance. In this case, the Silver Eyed Ones need to be nervous."
So if the situation becomes most dangerous, will you use that drop of divinity
Xia De smiled and didn't answer.
He leaned back on the sofa, his body relaxed. He could hear the melodious and soothing dance music coming from the banquet hall outside. It seemed that the party had begun.
Shade could hear it, and of course the two ladies could hear it too. Miss Beas, who was talking to Miss Anat, glanced at Shade and suddenly asked:
"Anyone want to go dancing with me?"
She asked both of them at the same time.
"Who are you going to invite?"
Miss Anat asked.
"Since we have finally been able to attend such a banquet, it would be a shame if we didn't dance."
Only at this time did the seventeen-year-old girl show an attitude that belonged to her age.
She stood up and looked at Ms. Shade and Ms. Annat, her eyes flickering and her face slightly reddened:
"Let's go dancing together. I've always wanted to try dancing in a high-profile banquet like this. Let's just relax before the big event on Thursday."
“But I can’t dance.”
Xia De said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay. I can dance. We can teach you. Iluna is right. Now that we are at the party, how can we not dance?"
Miss Anat stood up and handed the last blood money on the table to Shade, asking him to keep it.
"It's nice to relax before the final big battle."
She straightened her skirt which was wrinkled from sitting for a long time, and Miss Beatrice tied up her long brown hair with the hairband on her wrist.
Xia De could only stand up, very worried that he would step on the girls' feet. He hesitated and said again:
"I really can't dance. This is not modesty, I can't dance at all."
"That's all right, I will. Oh, Detective, the girls asked you to dance, and you don't have the right attitude right now."
Miss Bei Yasi said in a slightly blaming tone, and then turned around on the spot, making the hem of her skirt spin like an open flower.
After turning around, she looked at Xia De with a slightly red face, and Miss Anat reminded:
"But we can only dance in the corner for a while, after all, you are the protagonist tonight. We don't want to be noticed, so..."
The female fortune teller adjusted her expression, smiled and asked in an operatic tone:
"Knight Hamilton of Rheed, would you like to invite the two girls who sneaked into this party to dance?"
Miss Beatrice covered her mouth and chuckled. At this moment, the room seemed to be shrouded in a strange halo. The two ladies under the light were so shy and charming.
You should now...
She reminded with a chuckle.
"There's no need to remind me of this. I'm not my old friend with a slow personality."
Xia De knew what he should do now. He straightened his chest and raised his head, then said with pretentious emphasis:
"Yes, beautiful ladies...it's my pleasure."
He laughed himself, and held out his hand to the girls.
It might have been strange to ask two beautiful girls to dance at the same time, but they didn't have any other choice.
The two girls did not hold his hand, but smiled and patted him, then walked out of the room shoulder to shoulder, as if they were going to the bathroom to touch up their makeup.
Xia De followed slowly out of the room, and touched the small box in his pocket that contained the "Dela Rion Knight Medal of Honor". A month ago, when he walked out of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square for the first time with panic, he never thought that this day would come:
“I know that life will get better day by day.”
Will it get better in the future
"That depends on me."
He also walked out of the room. The party was about to start, and there were many people in the bright corridor leading to the bathroom. Everyone knew Shade and greeted him politely, and Shade responded one by one.
No matter what happens in the days to come, at least the young stranger will have a good time at this knighthood ceremony.
Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't stepped on Miss Beas twice and Miss Annat once afterwards.
