"Shad, that is to say, your miraculous experience as an investigator is actually a real trip back to the past. And if the time point corresponding to the time key is appropriate, you may be able to meet Miss Feliana in the past in the future?"
After waking up, the maids brought snacks and fruits to the two people who were talking in the study. Although they had just finished dinner, there were still a lot of snacks. Tifa stood behind Miss Carina and added details to Shade's description.
After the dark domain faded, it seemed that because of Miss Feliana's Feliana's Witch Light, the people affected by the domain had almost no sequelae. But the people who had fallen into sleep had lost their memories of that period of time, and only thought that they had been sleeping for a long time for no reason. This was the means by which this angel-level relic changed cognition, so the church did not have to spend too much time to deal with the consequences that this incident might cause, and could just blame it on the water source problem caused by environmental pollution.
"Yes, I think it is possible. Moreover, it is possible for me to take someone there. For example, I have been there with this cat before, and Miss Felena has met Little Mia before."
Xia De scratched Mia's chin as she lay on his lap:
"Not long ago, when I took the necklace from you to fight against the Silver Eyed One, I came into contact with the power left by the pure creator in the ruins, and thus learned the magic of toy making. This magic can turn objects into toys, and can also turn living things that trust me completely into toys."
"I remember that the Time Key does not allow extraordinary items to pass through that door, and it can only be used by one person at a time... I see. It turns out that this is how the rules left by the ancient gods can be circumvented. This is quite clever."
Miss Carina narrowed her eyes as she listened to Shad's introduction. After he finished speaking, she immediately asked the maid to bring the sheets.
The scene where she then sat on the sofa wrapped in a bed sheet was even more ridiculous than Tifa standing there wrapped in a bed sheet.
"If you dare to laugh now, Shade, I will show you how powerful a witch is."
This was the sound coming from under the sheets.
But neither the Duchess nor Tifa were affected by the magic toy making. On the contrary, the cat that was curiously crawling under the sheets was successfully transformed into a small puppet, proving that Shade's magic was effective.
"Meow!"
After being restored by the handkerchief, Mia stood happily on the coffee table, looking at the snacks, wagging her tail in anticipation of what Shade would give her. This cat had done a great service today, although it rashly got into the gift box of God and was accidentally brought into the dark realm by Shade. But it was because of this cat that the fish training ring accidentally left Darkness's right hand, allowing Shade to face one less form of Darkness in the final battle.
"It seems that no one can go to the past with you in the short term. However, I can help you buy some. Miss Feliana also clearly stated the time key of the time point. I hope you can help me ask that lady some questions."
Miss Carina suggested, and Shade would naturally not refuse a key for free:
"I can't go on adventures very often, so I'm afraid it will be a while before I can use the key again."
"It's okay, you might as well take a break. Shade, time travel is not normal, you also have to pay attention to your own safety."
The witch lazily reminded that she was actually injured in the battle, and even though her body was healed by the witch's light, the mental exhaustion was irreversible.
"I'll pay attention. Oh, actually, I have something to ask you."
Xia De sat up straight and picked up the orange cat standing on the coffee table:
"Please help me check this cat. It has been acting strangely lately."
"What's the anomaly?"
Miss Carina signaled to Tifa to take the cat. Mia was of course reluctant to leave Shade, but after struggling for a few times, she was finally taken by Tifa.
"It is very smart, very smart. Today, when it was in the dark area, it could even emit light by itself. Of course, it was a very weak light, and it seemed to be unaffected by the darkness."
"Is there such a thing?"
Miss Carina took Mia from Tifa and petted the orange cat a few times as it struggled:
"Apart from the fact that its tail is very powerful in catching the ring, it should be fine."
The final conclusion was beyond Xia De's expectations.
"but why... ... "
“Has it ever eaten anything strange?”
So the witch asked, and Mia took advantage of the other party's inattention and jumped onto the coffee table, then bumped into Shad and lay on his legs again.
"Maybe... Yes, there is."
In fact, he had always guessed that the cat absorbed some of the dissipated divine power after the second night of God's descent.
"Then it's possible that it has a very thin bloodline of a magical creature, and it was activated because it ate something strange. This is not a rare event. After all, no matter how abnormal it is, it is still just a cat."
Miss Carina said, and Shade thought about it and nodded. Indeed, no matter how abnormal Mia is, she still does not exceed the boundaries of a cat. Instead of worrying about Mia's problems, it is better to worry about what kind of strange bloodline this cat has.
But he had no friends who were good at studying magical creatures and aliens, and the School of Political Science and Economics at St. Byrons was not open to correspondence ring sorcerers.
“It’s hard to say whether Miss Feliana’s appearance is the most important thing tonight or the death of the second chosen one is the most important thing.”
Seeing that Shade stopped talking about cats, Miss Carina sighed and held the teacup. The mist from the tea blurred her face, but it was still possible to see that she looked very sad.
"The Council asked you to kill Ivan Darkness with your own hands, but in the end he died at the hands of the Church. Is that okay?"
Shad asked.
"It doesn't matter. The Council just told me to do my best. And tonight, a powerful witch from the Fifth Epoch showed up. The Council won't blame me for not succeeding. After all, she is Mana Felena. Shade, you're in big trouble tonight."
"What does it have to do with me? It was the God Summoner who summoned Miss Mana Felena."
Shade bent down and took a small piece of shortbread from the plate:
"The Chosen One, Iluna Beas, is my friend. She won't betray me. The only people who saw what I did were her and Tifa."
Xia De smiled at the black-haired maid:
"Tifa will definitely not say anything nonsense, so just blame it all on the God Summoner. Since he can summon the old gods of the Fifth Epoch, people will definitely believe that he can summon the witches of the Fifth Epoch. Oh, let me emphasize again, I am not the God Summoner, I really only have two, now three rings, and my puzzle locks are different from his."
"Speaking of which, Iluna Beas..."
"Yes, my friend."
Shade repeated it, and the witch smiled:
"Don't worry too much. The Council has no intention of winning over the Chosen Ones trained by the Church. It's impossible to succeed. However, you have had a lot of contact with the Chosen Ones."
She teased, and Shad broke the cookie in his hand into two parts and handed the smaller piece to the cat. Mia immediately leaned forward and grabbed Shad's palm with her two front paws.
"It's just a coincidence, but I hope you can let Tifa follow me when we go to hunt down the Human Pus tomorrow. I'm worried about other accidents, so we must not let it go this time."
The reason why we didn't act now was because the church was nervous and tonight was not suitable for action. Moreover, the opponent only had the last trace of pus left as his body and couldn't run far. It would be best to go tomorrow when he was ready.
"That's fine, but Shade..."
The red-haired witch held her face with her right hand and tilted her head to look at the stranger who was feeding the cat:
"Do you really know what you are doing?"
"certainly."
"That's good to know. After all, since you are already connected to the Chosen One, I am really worried that you will..."
She blinked and smiled:
"It's nothing. You don't look like someone who doesn't value his life. I won't mention you in the report to the council, but next time, don't take such risks. After all, people are not always lucky... especially for ring sorcerers."
"Yes, yes—the gift given by fate has already been secretly marked with a price. I understand this."
"That's good. Remember, Miss Feliana's appearance has nothing to do with you... No, what happened today has nothing to do with you. Your name should not be in the records of the church, the parliament, or the college."
"Okay, you're the only ones who have seen me in the Dark Realm. But, Miss Carina, I want you to help me look at this."
As steam and whistles sounded, the life ring behind Shad slowly appeared.
Miss Carina and Tifa both looked up:
"Two and a half months, already three rings..."
The life ring of a three-ring warlock has a triangular cross section. Now, of the three sides, two have four spirit runes each. While Shade controls the life ring to rotate, he lets the Enlightenment-Witch Light glow slightly with a brass-colored light:
"This is the Enlightenment Rune - Witch's Light. It comes from my reading of "The Crazy Light Chaser" and the light passed down by Miss Feliana. Currently, the magic that the rune corresponds to is 'Feliana's Witch's Light'..."
"oh?"
Miss Carina frowned:
"Feliana's Witch Light is a high-level magic, based on the power used by witches in the Fifth Epoch. It summons out a golden light that spreads around, melting all surrounding matter, and has a strong effect on the forces of darkness and evil."
This is a magic that deals area damage, and its power is limited by level. Its own attack power is not as strong as the single attack Moonlight Slash, but it is quite effective in dealing area damage.
Miss Felina hesitated to speak:
"When you were talking about this just now, I wanted to say that this magic... How should I put it? From the perspective of the Sixth Era, only women can learn it. Yes, only women, and witches have a higher chance of success when learning this magic."
Different magics have different learning rituals, and not all magics can be learned by one ring sorcerer. Gender is also a demanding condition for learning magic, but it usually only appears in magics recorded in the Pink Book.
