They were checked many times when leaving the city, and it was not easy when entering the city. At the same time, because the church was checking every street in the city, the nearest way home was not available, so the carriage made a big circle before bringing Shade and the maid back to Saint Teresa Square in the quiet night.
The light from the gas lamps illuminated the empty square. Now that it was dark, only a group of pigeons were perched in the square, probably wondering why no one was feeding them today.
Miss Tifa Servert did not leave the carriage, and Shad went upstairs to get the fang.
The gas mantle in the house probably needed cleaning, and the light on the stairs was a little dim, but to a stranger it was the light of home.
After going upstairs, I saw Miss Beatrice was already there:
"Oh, Shad! Good evening!"
She sat on the sofa holding a teacup, waving happily to greet Xia De, with a bottle of red wine on the coffee table in front of her. Xia De was still asleep when she left, so she was naturally very happy to see that he was safe and sound.
"Good evening."
Shad was also very happy to return home. He picked up the orange cat that ran over, and then talked to Miss Beatrice and Luvia who was standing at the window looking at the carriage below about the vampire teeth. Then he took the relic, turned around and went downstairs with the cat in his arms.
Back in the carriage, the maid just glanced at the fangs that Shade had placed in the paper bag, and put them aside, feeling confident in Shade's credibility.
Xia De, who was anxious to go home, wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by the maid.
She lifted the hair beside her ear, blinked and looked at Xia De:
"Mr. Hamilton, I would like to thank you again on behalf of the young lady."
"You're welcome... What do you mean?"
Shade looked at the black-haired maid, not understanding the meaning of these abrupt words.
The latter was a little embarrassed:
"As a servant, I have no right to say these words. The Council has always coveted the secrets of the Blood Spirit School. You probably can't imagine the value of the vampire's body and this fang. Miss is not in a good state today, so I want me to express my gratitude to you. Mr. Hamilton, you did a good job."
"Don't thank me, Miss Servet. Miss Carina and I have said before that this is a fair deal."
Shade said, smelling the maid's scent again.
"Maybe it's more than just a transaction, Mr. Hamilton. After this incident, the lady will probably treat you as a close person. You have demonstrated this value."
"Then... I'm honored?"
He didn't know how to answer, so he could only say this.
The maid who was nearby smiled gently:
"In fact, I admire people like you. You seem to be out of tune with this world, but you are so real sitting in front of me. If I hadn't intended to follow you and become a witch, I would probably want to give you a kiss right now. Mr. Hamilton, people like you are actually rare."
"Really? So... you want to say that I'm a good person?"
Xia De asked hesitantly. The maid hesitated for a moment and made a gesture to lean forward, but finally retracted her question:
"Good people don't live long. I don't want you to be a purely good person."
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
"Good-bye, then, Mr. Hamilton. Oh, and don't forget this."
She handed Shad an old manuscript of the "Derraion Ancient Fairy Tales" which Shad had obtained at an auction:
"I have had this book in my hands these days. I have to admit that you have a good eye."
"Goodbye, Miss Servet... Actually, I've always been curious about what kind of perfume you use? It smells really good."
Xia De knew that this question was very rude, but he still asked it. The black-haired maid was a little surprised, but she smiled immediately:
"You can smell it, right? Only a few people can smell the scent of this perfume. It was prepared by the young lady based on the ancient magic potion formula circulated in the parliament. Although it is a perfume, the production process is a magic potion."
"Does the potion have a name?"
Xia De was very curious. The maid hesitated for a moment before giving her answer:
"The smell of a witch."
Even for the Duchess, it would be unlikely for her to take out 1,200 pounds in cash at once without any preparation. After all, Miss Carina did not expect that Shad would be able to take out the vampire's corpse.
Therefore, what Miss Carina gave to Shad was a bill of exchange, which could be cashed directly at the Delarion Kingdom Bank.
When Shad returned upstairs with the cat in his arms, the two ladies were very satisfied with the large sum of money. The three of them planned to divide the 1,200 pounds, but of course not equally. Because it was Shad who defeated the vampire, Shad took 500 pounds, and the two ladies each got 350 pounds. Shad went to the bank to withdraw the money.
After discussing the vampire fangs, they started to prepare dinner. Because it was still under martial law, they couldn't eat out even if they had a large sum of money.
Fortunately, the two girls living alone can cook, and the three of them sat together and enjoyed dinner. Of course, no one forgot the lovely Mia cat.
Their relationship is very special, not friends, nor lovers for the time being. In the words of the purple-eyed fortune teller, fate has linked the three of them together. Just like the adventurer team in ancient stories, or like good friends experiencing magical adventures in fairy tales:
"Luvia, fortune tellers really like to use the term fate."
Xia De said at the dinner table. There were red wine glasses in front of the three people. These were brought by Miss Bei Ya Si when she came back in the evening to celebrate the victory.
The brown-haired sorceress raised an eyebrow at the name Shade used.
Last night, Miss Bei Yasi bravely rushed to the third floor. Although the impact on the evil god was minimal, her identity as the chosen one was exposed to the church.
Today during the day, Miss Bei Yasi accepted the church's inquiry and answered many questions about the awakening of power according to the ideas that Miss Anat had already designed. But just like Miss Jia Lina's attitude, the awakened chosen ones are not important, what is important are the ones who have not awakened.
There are thirteen chosen ones in total. No matter what the final door means, the important thing is to win over as many chosen ones as possible within our own forces.
Therefore, apart from the Sun Church which paid full attention to Miss Bei Yasi, other churches were more concerned about the way the chosen ones would awaken.
Next, Miss Beias might go to the Church of the Sun for a short time, but she will still stay in the Tobesk Diocese and continue her current life. After all, no matter how special the chosen one is, she is currently only a second-ring warlock...
"I'm in the third ring. During the day, the church opened a batch of books to me, and then I was promoted."
Miss Bei Yasi said with a smile, in this way, Xia De, who is in the second ring, will still be the lowest level one.
In addition to those books, according to Miss Bei Yasi, the Church has other rewards and training plans in preparation. As long as she survives, she will definitely be able to advance to the thirteenth ring. The young girl has a high investment value.
After dinner, the three returned to the living room and continued talking on the sofa.
The topic finally came to the white-robed god from last night. Miss Beiyas asked the same question as Miss Anat:
"Shad, I only care about one thing, and the rest is completely irrelevant - are you human?"
"Definitely human."
Shade nodded affirmatively, and the young girl was relieved. Compared with the curious female fortune teller, Miss Bei Yasi didn't care much. It was enough to know that Shade was a human and that the maze and the summoning of gods were related to him.
Of course, Shade still didn't tell anyone that the gods and saints were actually him, and he wasn't just a container. He used the "Time Key" to explain everything, and he wouldn't tell anyone about his true uniqueness until he became a god.
"But anyway, Shad, you saved everyone."
Miss Beas said, and her smile was really beautiful under the light of the gas lamp in the living room.
"But my deeds will remain unknown."
He felt a little regretful about this, otherwise even if everyone in the city gave him a shilling, he would not be short of money for decades.
After discussing what happened last night, we finally came to the stage of dividing the gains from the ruins. Those letters and books can be shared, but the relics cannot be divided.
Originally, six relics were harvested from the ruins, but the Demon Eye was taken away by the evil god, leaving only five. Now that the Fang was sold to Miss Carina, only four are left.
"No, five indeed. Look at this."
Xia De took out the ring box. The ladies also recognized the pebble rings inside, but they all showed disgusted expressions. They did not become men's hobbies:
"Is this what you went to the charity banquet for before breaking into the ruins? Since that lady gave it to you, you should keep it for yourself."
Luvia guessed that Carina Cavendish was a witch, but Miss Beatrice knew nothing about it. She seemed a little worried, not about the origin of the ring, but about Shad, so she kept reminding him:
"Xia De, don't use this unless it's absolutely necessary... I don't want my companion to become a androgynous guy."
"Of course, I'll sell it after a while when the hype has died down."
The face of the ring looked like a pebble, but the ring was still made of metal. Under the glow of the gas lamp, the metal ring seemed to be shining. This strange halo attracted the cat that was originally lying on the coffee table.
"Meow~"
Standing up and looking at Shade, Mia came to the ring with her tail swaying under the gaze of the three. She first lowered her head and sniffed it, and after confirming that it was not edible, she rolled her tail and actually let the ring fit on the tip of her tail.
"Um?"
Shade was startled and tried to hug it, but Mia easily dodged him.
"Meow~"
The orange cat jumped onto the sofa, wagging its tail, and curled up into a cat ball, letting its tail dangle in front of it. Looking at the tail with the ring on it, it seemed very interested. The cat had found a new toy.
The ring can automatically adapt to different finger sizes, and now it fits the cat's tail. But since cats can't recite spells, there's no need to worry about the ring working. But the ring can't be left with Mia for a long time, after all, the whispering element of the relic will have an impact on intelligent life.
But it’s okay to take it out and let the cat play with it occasionally.
Grabbing Mia, Shad took the ring off its tail and put it back into the ring box.
"Does the Relic Transformation Ring have any effect on animals?"
Miss Bei Yasi, who saw this scene, asked the fortune teller beside her softly, and the latter shook his head:
"There is no record of this. After all, this ring has never encountered an animal that can chant spells."
