The brown-haired girl lifted up the lying Shade and held him in her arms. She carefully poured the water from the bottle into his mouth. Shade still kept his basic instincts and swallowed the liquid carefully, but he did not wake up until the bottle was empty.
"Meow~"
The orange cat walked around Shade, meowed anxiously twice, then jumped up and tried to dig into his pockets with its claws.
Miss Beatrice was stunned:
"you... ... "
He reacted immediately and took out Xia De's pocket watch. After opening the cover, he found the last leaf of youth inside.
Although he could still swallow liquids, it was still too difficult for Xia De to chew the leaves by himself. The characteristics of the relic meant that the leaves could not be easily squeezed to extract juice by other means.
The young girl blushed as she looked at Shade, then at the cat who was anxiously watching her, and reached out to touch its head:
"Don't worry, I will save him."
With a shaking hand, he covered his intact left eye, then, blushing, he put the leaf toward his mouth...
There were hurried footsteps downstairs again, and Iluna realized that she had forgotten to close the door.
Holding Shade, she turned around and saw the purple-eyed fortune teller appear at the stairs, panting heavily. She was in a hurry and saw Iluna kneeling in the room holding the unconscious Shade and the cat squatting beside her. She was also stunned:
"Just now... the evil god... was so scary... I divined... the moon, and then I guessed it was him... How about Shade?"
"You were able to look at the night sky just now?"
Miss Beatrice originally thought that she was the only one who witnessed the scene.
"My eyes are special. Stop talking so much. How is Shade?"
Miss Annat walked over to Shad and knelt down, looking at his face with concern.
"I fed him a whole bottle of No. 1 Holy Water Puree, but he still didn't wake up, so this."
The girl with long brown hair blushed and shook the leaf in her hand. Miss Anat immediately understood what was going on. She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice:
"You want to... Well, you do it or me?"
"I'll do it!"
After she finished speaking, she realized that her voice was a little high. Miss Bei Yasi smiled embarrassedly and was about to put the leaf into her mouth, but Xia De's hand suddenly raised up and grabbed her wrist, but his eyes were still closed:
"Don't... waste it. I only have one piece left. Water..."
The hoarse voice spoke, and the whole bottle of No. 1 holy water essence was not without effect.
"water?"
Before Miss Beas, who was holding the Eternal Youth Leaf, could react, Miss Anat stood up, brought the teacup and filled it with water:
"Xia De, please don't move. If you really can't..."
The sound of bells and whistles appeared in this narrow space. In the life ring of the second-ring warlock, the blasphemous silver represented gluttony, which had an unusually dazzling aura. Swallowing the second drop of divinity of the Lord of the Blood Feast in the form of a god did not allow Shade to gain new power, but instead further enhanced the gluttony that already existed.
His hand was lifted up by Miss Annat and finally touched the water cup. Silver light gushed out of the water cup almost in the next second.
Miss Beatrice immediately held him and straightened him up, while Miss Annat carefully held the cup and fed the water to Shad.
The light of the gas lamp in the living room flickered. In this eventful night, on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, three people leaned against each other, their backs tangled on the wall. The orange cat squatted beside them, calling softly, as if hoping that Shade would recover soon.
"I don't quite understand why you returned to your deserted home instead of looking for us?"
Miss Bei Ya Si lowered her head and asked softly.
"Because... I don't know what will happen, and... I finally have my own house. Even if I die, I want to die here."
The shadows on the wall swayed, and the two ladies chuckled. Although Shade was still in poor condition, saying this meant that there was no need to worry that he would leave.
"So, Blood Feast... will that being come to you again?"
Miss Anat also asked, Miss Beyath held Shade's head in her arms, and she held Shade's hand. Shade shook his head unconsciously, feeling as if he had touched something:
"No, we are even now... The ancient god is my witness, He cannot use any means to..."
The sound was muffled, and Shad fell asleep.
The light of the gas lamp was yellowish, and after all, the night was finally over.
(Mi Mia is running...)
When Xia De opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar ceiling of his bedroom. He sensed the time, it was 7:30 am on Friday, only eight hours after he fell into a coma again after drinking water last night.
The movement of sitting up from the bed woke up the cat lying next to the pillow. The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled on the cat's back, making Mia's orange fur seem to be glowing.
After continuous rain, Tobysk finally welcomed sunny days.
"Speaking of which..."
He recalled the last conversation last night, and frowned as he looked at the meowing cat beside him:
"Did I use my magic to restore Mia from a doll yesterday... How did you turn back?"
"Meow?"
The orange cat looked up at Shade, and his big amber eyes seemed to become even bigger as he looked up.
"How did Mia change back?"
Although he didn't know it, she certainly should have seen it.
The glow from the overflowing divinity seemed to be absorbed somewhat by the cat.
"Mia absorbed it?"
He picked up the spoiled cat, but the silly cat looked no different from before. He still couldn't sense any element or spirit in Mia's body, which meant that it was still an ordinary little cat.
"Could it be that I was worried about dying while in a coma, causing Mia to become a puppet permanently, so I subconsciously guided my power to restore it to its original state?"
Very likely.
After putting the cat down and doing the exercises, he felt that his body had fully recovered. After clenching his palms, Xia De even felt that his body's strength and reaction were stronger than before.
You burned a drop of divinity. Even though the radiance of that drop of divinity has faded away, the power that permeated your flesh has still caused changes in your body.
"Is there such a benefit in burning divinity?"
If you hadn’t gotten the second drop of divinity in time, you might have died. If it weren’t for Holy Water No. 1, you would have probably been lying in bed for half a year.
"This is all expected. I don't regret it at all. After all, everyone is alive now and I haven't lost much."
He was very satisfied with what he had done last night. Although he lost his magic eye and another face, he saved everything and gained more experience in fighting against God. These losses were well worth it.
Perhaps hearing the sound of Shade getting up, the bedroom door opened and Luvia Anat pushed open the door:
"Oh, Shad, good morning. You awake? How are you feeling?"
"Not bad. Good morning, Miss Anat."
Xia De moved his arms, stood up in his slippers, opened the curtains, took a deep breath, and let the bright sunshine shine on his face:
“It feels good.”
The cat held in one hand also cried out towards the sunlight.
"Where's Miss Beas?"
He turned around and asked again. The purple-eyed fortune teller leaned against the door frame and shook his head:
"She was called away by the church. She faced the Saint last night and used the power of the Chosen One to let the church know about the confirmation of the identity of the first Chosen One. So it is impossible for the church not to question her. She will probably be back in the evening. When she does, you must explain to us what happened last night."
Xia De was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the purple-eyed fortune teller also knew what was going on with the white-robed god under the moonlight. His memory of the last conversation last night was very vague, and he only vaguely remembered that Miss Annat and Miss Beas both appeared here:
"Did you guess it?"
"Yes."
She took two quick steps into the room, and Shade saw that she was wearing an apron. He thought she wanted to ask more questions, but unexpectedly, Miss Anat hugged him gently, but quickly let go.
Purple eyes raised and looked at Shade:
"You... ...are you really just a second ring?"
"Of course, the real thing."
"Then why can it bear the power of God? I am really worried about you..."
This question made Shade understand how she and Miss Bei Yasi understood what happened last night. They did not think that Shade was a god, but that Shade's body had become a vessel for the descent of a god, carrying the power of a god. Combined with the fact that he used the power of the Thirteenth Ring Warlock in Lake View Manor, and that he did not die on the spot, it was inferred that he was a Thirteenth Ring Warlock... ...
Shade narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he didn't want to reveal his secret. In addition to his identity as a foreigner, the power of divinity was his deepest secret. Now that Miss Annat and Miss Beiyas thought so, the church probably also thought that the "Masked Man Under the Silver Moon" was a thirteen-ring warlock who called on the gods to defeat the Lord of the Blood Feast. He didn't need to refute this idea.
It is much better to turn yourself into a "suspected thirteenth ring" than to turn yourself into a "suspected god".
The life ring appeared behind him, which undoubtedly proved his identity.
"The power I gained last night, like the maze, came from the past. In the Sixth Era, there are no true gods other than the true gods, but they existed in the past. I met the gods in the past. Last night, I served as a vessel for the gods to descend and called upon the gods of the past."
This explanation was half-truthful, and given his current relationship with the two girls, it made sense to tell them about his unusual time-travel journey.
"The time key, huh? I see. You didn't tell the truth about the first key. That's why Dorothy suddenly decided to become your teacher because..."
Miss Anat nodded to show her understanding, and was successfully guided to the "correct" way of thinking by Shade's words. In any case, she could not have imagined that the person in front of her was the god from last night.
A gentle smile appeared in her eyes, and then, very unexpectedly, the purple-eyed girl stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De on the face, and whispered:
"Thank you, Knight Hamilton of Rejade, for saving the unsung hero of Tobesk. You have done so much, but you cannot let others know about it, and there will be no reward, so all you can get is the girl's kiss."
Xia De resisted the urge to ask her age, and jokingly said while touching her face:
"No, I've been rewarded, lots of rewards. Ahem, so besides kisses, do the hero and his cat have breakfast?"
Mia the cat, who was following at Shade's feet, heard the keyword "breakfast" and raised her head very energetically and meowed.
"Of course, but we're out of goat milk. The whole city is under martial law today, and the Silver Parrot Delivery Company was raided. I made some simple breakfast, I hope you like it... Xia De, do you rarely cook at home? I noticed that there are enough mice in your kitchen to starve to death."
With that, the two walked out of the bedroom.
