The evil god's arrival on Thursday night and the subsequent battle with the unknown moon god were certainly not so easily quelled. The most relevant thing for the citizens of Tobesk was that the whole city was under martial law today and no one was allowed to go out. The Redwich Field, the church, and the Tobesk garrison were fully controlling the situation in the city so that they could search every household.
On the one hand, the church was determined to capture the Blood Feast Lord's cultists and members of Mercury Blood who were lucky enough to survive, even if it meant destroying half of Tobesk. On the other hand, last night, the church's high-level warlocks tried to stop the evil god with almost total annihilation, and although they were finally saved by an unknown saint, the people who were forced to participate in the Blood Feast were still seriously injured.
Iluna was able to get the bottle of No. 1 holy water because the church gave it to her out of consideration for the injuries of others.
Therefore, the city-wide martial law also means maintaining public order with a high-pressure situation when almost all high-level warlocks are injured.
But what happened last night also scared the other ring warlocks in the city. Now no one would offend the church, and almost everyone was happy to see that group of lunatics being captured by the church.
That is to say, except for church members like Miss Beas and a few royal members who have obtained passes, all citizens must stay at home today.
Tobesk is the capital of the Kingdom of Delarion, and such a city-wide curfew would certainly cause an uproar. But considering what happened last night, even the Yodel Palace did not raise any objections.
The news that His Majesty the King accepted an urgent interview last night was on the front page of all morning newspapers today. Although the whole city was under martial law today, newspapers were still delivered because citizens needed to know what happened:
"The cultists poisoned the entire city. Hundreds of citizens died last night. Today, the whole city is being searched... Oh."
At the dining table, Shade, holding a newspaper, could not help but sigh. The news in the newspaper looked terrible, but in fact the number of casualties was not hundreds, but thousands. Although compared with the fact that "the evil god has come", this number was not large, but for the peaceful years of 1853, it was common for several thousand people to disappear in Tobesk in a year, but the number of thousands of deaths in one night would definitely make the entire Old Continent panic.
Xia De's guess last night was correct. It was indeed the cultists who poisoned the "Silver Parrot Milk Distribution Company" controlled by Mercury Blood and offered sacrifices to the evil god to create a grand "blood feast".
This was mentioned in the letter found on the body of the Silver Eyed Man, and that was why Luvia was able to deduce the general ins and outs of the matter before meeting Shade.
"There may be public mourning activities later. The impact of this incident... Fortunately, you are here, otherwise there would be more casualties last night. I know you won't let anyone know what you did, but I know what kind of risks you took... Xia De, this seems a little unfair to you."
Miss Anat sat at the dining table with Shade, and she spoke softly while holding a spoon. Shade took away the newspaper in front of him and looked at her. He was still lamenting the casualties last night:
"You can't count it that way. Miss Annat, everything we do will eventually leave traces in this world and will eventually affect us again. Although what I did is unknown to others, one day, I will understand what it means to me."
The fortune teller liked this very much. She stirred the food in the bowl with a spoon:
"That's right, Shade. Speaking of which, just call me by my first name from now on. There's no need to call me 'Miss Anat'."
"Okay then... Luvia?"
"Yes, that's my name. Does it sound weird?"
The city was under martial law, which meant that today's original task, which was to accompany Mrs. Lemaire to receive the inheritance, could not be completed. Luvia was now staying at Shad's house and could not return to the Prophet's Association to inquire about the news.
The two of them were trapped in Number 6 St. Teresa's Square. Fortunately, they had nothing else to do. After breakfast, they sorted out their gains from the previous night together.
There are only five of the six relics left now. The greedy silver of the magic eye was taken away by the Lord of the Blood Feast as a meal. The specific distribution will be made after Miss Bei Yasi returns in the evening. Of course, the gift box of the sage-level relic god must belong to Shade. The lady who became an angel said in person that this item was kept by him.
As for the remaining three blank pages of the puppeteer's script, Shad said he would not touch them.
Luvia was very interested in the card of uncertainty that Shade had just obtained, so she borrowed it for research. In her words, this was an item that was completely related to fate.
Shade explained that the Card of Unpredictable Things really contained the power of the ancient gods, which surprised Luvia.
"Didn't you see the fight last night? Didn't you see the dark golden scale?"
Xia De was also surprised:
"I thought you had already figured it out."
"How could you think that a mortal could witness the battle between gods? Although my eyes are powerful, I could only barely see the last bit of moonlight. I even bet that, apart from Iluna, I should be the one who saw the most."
In this way, Shade would not have to worry about exposing his identity. At the same time, the doctor, the priest and Miss Louisa would not easily associate last night's moonlight with Shade.
With nothing to do during the day, Luvia was in the living room looking through the letters on the vampires and silver-eyed people she brought out of the ruins last night, while Shad was standing by to confirm his newfound power.
The gains from the ruins were huge. Not only did he get promoted directly to a second-ring warlock, he also acquired two new magics: Moonlight Greatsword and Toy Making.
The former can not only fight against the vampires suppressed by Miss Beiasi in the ruins, but can even cooperate with Raglai's jump and time confusion blade to launch a very coordinated attack.
Of course, if there were no divinity, the cracks that followed would probably be more difficult for Shade to deal with.
After Shade burned his divinity to become a god, the Moonlight Greatsword even confronted the Lord of the Blood Feast head-on. It should be said that it is worthy of being a magic trick obtained by using relics. It does not require any casting materials, and even the consumption when using magic tricks is very low.
When using magic, the only part that consumes the most energy is the process of pulling the "Moonlight Greatsword" out of the air. The subsequent loss is almost equal to the speed of Shade's energy recovery. Moreover, even if the greatsword is broken, another one can be pulled out immediately without any waiting time. As Shade's ring magician level increases, the Moonlight Greatsword will become stronger and stronger. This is undoubtedly the strongest attack method that Shade currently has.
The only drawback is that the Moonlight Greatsword will disappear once it leaves your hand, so it can only be used for close combat, and it cannot be thrown like Miss Bei Yasi's Sunshine Gun.
Although injecting spirits and elements into the sword can make this great sword produce an attack effect similar to "Sword Light", this consumes a lot of energy and is completely inferior to the long-range attack effect of "Silver Moon's Slash".
