The appearance of the Moonlight Greatsword was expected, but the creation of another magical toy was completely unexpected.
Shad directly touches the gift box of the relic god, and the spirit rune toy maker produced by the whispering element. This is another spirit rune with relatively specific meaning, and the potential for developing thaumaturgy is very low.
If the Moonlight Greatsword is a purely offensive magic, then toy making is a purely auxiliary magic.
As long as Shade's spirit is strong enough and he has a large enough piece of cloth, he can turn any object without supernatural properties into a toy. As for living things, they can only be turned into toys by Shade if they have enough trust in him.
Although Mia's real owner is not Shad, after living together for a month, the cat definitely trusts Shad enough, so last night, on the first try, it turned into a toy under Shad's clothes.
Of course, it may also be because silly Mia the cat is too naive.
When Shad invited Luvia to test the making of thaumaturgical toys, even though the female fortuneteller was well prepared, after using a bed sheet, the magic would not work no matter how the sheet was covered on her body.
"Humans' thinking is richer and not as simple as that of small animals."
This was the explanation given by Shad. Luvia certainly trusted Shad enough, but this trust was not to the extent that Mia Cat could entrust everything to.
"If I could be turned into a toy by you, I would also like to go and see the stories of the past that you told me."
Luvia expressed regret for this, and so did Shad. The mission of the ancient god was not easy. If he could bring a group of helpers, even if no one could face the gods directly like he did, at least he could make many effective suggestions. And not only through the corridor of time, he could even take people to travel quickly in Tobesk and Coldwater Port... ...
"Speaking of which, since Mia can be turned into a toy, why not take her to see the sea when we have time."
This is what Shad thought when he was bored.
In this way, Shade and Luvia spent a peaceful Friday morning together in Saint Teresa's Square. During this time, they saw groups of soldiers following clergy in priest robes and hurriedly passing through the roads around the square. After the cultists succeeded in summoning the god for the second time, but the god was expelled by another god, the cult of the Lord of the Blood Feast would be silent for at least 20 years even if they were lucky.
The god-summoning ritual was not that easy, and the cost of two of them was enough to bankrupt a small principality. Coupled with the city-wide manhunt by the Orthodox Church, even if there was no "fair" duel witnessed by the ancient god last night, Shade did not have to worry about being retaliated by the evil god.
The next time we see the Lord of the Blood Feast coming to the material world, maybe Xia De has already been promoted to the thirteenth ring, or even become a true god.
In her spare time, Luvia also curiously and respectfully asked Shade about his feelings when he was "with God". She listened to Shade's memories of last night in full, and carefully asked about various details, exclaiming from time to time.
The people of this world have an innate fear of God. Unlike outsiders like Shade who try to become gods and have a weaker fear of God, the people of this world must be extremely cautious about anything related to God.
The gods here are not powerful people, but high-dimensional beings in the true sense. Thursday's experience is a good example. If you don't have the power of gods, it's best not to confront gods without knowing your own strength.
"All Unknowable-level (level 0) relics are definitely related to God, but not all relics related to God are Unknowable-level. Even among the Unknowable-level relics, as far as I know, there are only no more than ten that can have a weak effect on God."
Luvia was very enthusiastic about telling Shad these things that ordinary ring sorcerers didn't understand, and thought that he was fortunate to be the vessel of the old gods, and it would be impossible for him not to know these things.
In fact, absorbing and burning the divine power did give Shade some fragmented knowledge. But perhaps because he absorbed the divine power too thoroughly, the knowledge lay quietly in the deepest part of his brain like golden sand. "She" said that she could try to piece together and understand, but it would be a very long process. Maybe the right time would give him a surprise, but it was best not to hold too high hopes.
"Speaking of which, besides Level 0 relics, are there any other dangerous level relics that could possibly have any effect on God?"
Xia De asked again. He thought it was impossible, but unexpectedly Luvia nodded:
"Things related to gods are rarely spread privately, but I do know of an angel-level (level 1) relic that has a slight effect on gods. Shade, in fact, most of the students of Saint Byrons know about it, because it belongs to Saint Byrons. The angel-level relic, the Enemy God Notes, belongs to the rumored thirteen-ring warlock, Miss Mana Filianna, the founder of Saint Byrons. I don't know the specific features, but it is said that when the holder encounters an evil god, he can get some effective escape ideas from the notes."
Luvia was sitting at the coffee table checking the letters, while Shad was sitting at the dining table holding his cat and reading the newspaper. He stopped touching the cat and suddenly had a strange premonition.
"That witch from the Fifth Age had many strange experiences, and that relic, according to ancient legends, was the notebook that Miss Filianna used when she taught her students by the campfire according to the even more ancient etiquette of mentor-apprentice."
The style of Miss Feliana's notebook quickly emerged in Shade's mind. During the time travel last night, the witch by the campfire was listening to Shade's story while writing and drawing in the notebook, which no one could understand, and finally summarized some useful suggestions. Once this kind of item that records the knowledge of God crosses the era, the possibility of becoming a relic is indeed very high.
"Oh, a ringmaster like Miss Mana Felena, but the female ringmasters of Saint Byron in our time are very much admired... ...Shad, what's your expression?"
Luvia asked curiously, and Shade shook his head, hiding his face behind the newspaper.
The morning was spent like this, and at noon, Luvia was still cooking in the kitchen. Her cooking skills were not as good as Miss Louisa, who had used this kitchen before, but since someone was willing to cook for Shade and the cat, he certainly wouldn't say anything inappropriate.
During lunch, Luvia shared with Shade what she had learned from reading the stack of letters. Most of the letters were written in cipher, requiring a fortune teller to decipher them, and most of the contents had nothing to do with them.
After a simple search in the morning, the only useful clue he got was the hiding place of the forged Philosopher's Stone. This relic was the beginning of a series of events that Shade encountered, and it finally appeared after the series of events ended.
"In the statue held by the police chief at Redwich Field, only the one with the silver eyes knew about this. The police chief was actually related to the mercury blood."
Luvia said as she stirred her vegetable soup with a spoon:
"Also, he was the one who killed your client, Mrs. Lawrence."
Xia De stopped eating and looked at the long sofa in the living room. The death of that generous lady was his biggest regret at the moment:
"The police chief has a bright future ahead of him. What's the point of getting involved with these illegal organizations?"
"Mercury Blood is his thug, helping to deal with things that are inconvenient to deal with. This also explains why Mercury Blood was able to do so many things locally, but it was not destroyed until today."
Luvia said that she didn't care about these things, but wanted to find out from the letter the vampire carried with him what he was doing in the Tobesk area.
"We need to tell the doctor about this relic as soon as possible. It would be bad if the church took the lead."
Shad said as he grabbed the bread, and thought again of the time he met the doctor at the charity banquet.
Although Dr. Schneider left in time because of Shade's appearance, now thinking about it, the doctor's luck was surprisingly bad. If Shade hadn't met him on the first floor, the doctor would have encountered the evil god at close range. Shade now fully understood why when he met the other members of the team, they all thought that Dr. Schneider used the relic that overdrew his luck.
"The doctor's luck is really bad."
Tearing the bread in your hand and dipping it into the soup is a very common way of eating in this world.
"It's really abnormal. I think it may be related to the demon you mentioned, but I haven't heard that demons can reduce luck. Anyway, there must be a way to solve Dr. Schneider's problem."
Although the matter of the evil god has been resolved, there are still many things waiting for them ahead.
The city's martial law will not end until six o'clock tomorrow morning, and there will be a week-long curfew, so they still cannot go out in the afternoon. Xia De originally planned to take advantage of the time today to ask Luvia for some divination knowledge to see if he has this talent. After all, the performance of the female fortune teller when breaking into the ruins was really impressive.
Unexpectedly, not long after lunch, someone knocked on the door downstairs.
"Iluna came back early?"
Xia De asked suspiciously, walked to the living room window and took a look, then raised his hand to signal Luvia not to be nervous:
"A familiar carriage. It belongs to Duchess Carina Cavendish."
The female fortune teller also looked downstairs with Shade. She had never seen the Duchess's carriage, but she seemed to associate something with it and frowned:
"Shad, can you answer a question for me? Was the powerful Sage-level (Level 2) relic, the Ancient Witch's Gold Necklace, borrowed from this Duchess?"
Xia De was stunned and shook his head:
"No answer."
"Okay then."
The pair of purple eyes looked at Shade inquiringly:
"So, is Carina Cavendish the chief witch of the Witch Council?"
Sometimes Shad really admired her ability to think.
"Still can't answer."
"Then I understand. That's how it is."
Luvia nodded slightly, then looked at Shad with the eyes of a magical creature:
"When did witches start getting close to men? How did you do it? Oh, no need to answer, I was just expressing my feelings. But you have to be careful, witches don't have a good reputation, be careful not to be deceived."
Shade went downstairs to open the door, but the person in the carriage was not the Duchess, but her personal maid, Miss Tifa Servet. She was still wearing the familiar cumbersome maid dress, with her hands folded on her legs, and she looked a little unwell. She asked Shade to get in the carriage and follow her. Miss Carina was waiting for the young detective at the manor.
