"Let me correct you. First of all, I am a man. Second, this is not something I learned through the ritual. It was passed down to me by Miss Filianna."
This is how Shade understood this power. Miss Carina shook her head:
"The learning conditions and usage conditions are the same. If you don't have the qualifications, it's impossible to inherit. But—"
She stared at Xia De in confusion, with a somewhat dissatisfied tone:
"Miss Feliana, do you think there are no witches in the Sixth Epoch? It's clearly the power of a witch, but it's going to be passed on to a man..."
The last half of the sentence was spoken very quietly.
Xia De didn't know how to answer. He turned around and looked at his life ring. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I'm telling you this. Actually, the problem is not with Feliana's Witch Light."
Shade said, putting the cat on the sofa and standing up:
"Please follow me to the corridor."
"You want to..."
Miss Carina frowned slightly and tapped her legs rhythmically with her fingers:
"Shad, it's impossible no matter how you think about it, right?"
"Have you ever heard of the Witch's Light Spirit Rune?"
Shade asked, and Miss Carina shook her head:
"Runes related to witches can only appear on ring sorcerers with witch powers. I am very sure of this."
"Yes, that's why there is a problem. I can feel that this spiritual rune is very different."
Because Mia also wanted to follow Shad to the corridor, Shad had to let Tifa hold the cat for the time being.
He and Miss Carina came to the corridor, and the Duchess asked the maids nearby not to come near for the time being.
Xia De coughed:
"The princess in the castle will never understand that the freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue."
"If you meet a witch at a road crossing covered with lavender, where will you go to pick a handful of herbs?"
Unlike the witches' a cappella singing, Shade's voice was a little hoarse and low. His musical talent was not good, and the tune might not be accurate, but his voice made this slightly sad Fifth Epoch ballad even sadder.
Shad walked in front, and Miss Carina followed behind him.
The sound of his footsteps on the corridor floor seemed to follow the beat of the song. When he sang the third sentence and the corridor in front suddenly darkened, Miss Carina was startled. And when the two of them stepped into the old corridor together, the ashes under their feet made the sound of their shoes touching the ground disappear, and the witch felt that tonight was becoming more and more like a dream.
When they passed through the ancient corridor and finally reached the White Mist Gate at the end, Miss Carina could not help but said to Shade, who also had a complicated expression:
"If you think about it carefully, it's possible that this is a dream."
Standing in front of the white mist door, the Duchess looked at him seriously with her golden eyes:
"You summoned Miss Mana Felena from the past, and then you were suddenly able to walk into this corridor that only witches can walk into. This seems like a dream no matter how you think about it."
"It turns out that all you need to enter this corridor is the power of a witch."
Xia De suddenly realized that he had to be led by the great witch.
"Then go inside."
Miss Carina pushed Shade into the white mist door, and then in the white mist, she took off the gold necklace from her neck and handed it to him:
"Give it a try."
Of course, Xia De understood what she meant, so he held the necklace tightly and said softly to Bai Wu:
"May the hidden chaos protect me, a fellow witch!"
"Hmm? How do you know this ancient spell?"
Miss Carina was even more surprised. Xia De was stunned for a moment:
"Well... I have a good memory. Miss Aurora mentioned it last time, so I remembered it."
The two looked around together. The white fog did not change, which meant that Shade could not enter the Witch Council through the witch's jewelry.
"Don't be happy too soon. Under normal circumstances, only witches with seats can use jewelry to enter the parliament. Thirteen pieces of jewelry correspond to thirteen people. It's normal that you can't enter. It doesn't reflect your gender."
Miss Carina said, squinting her eyes and looking closely at Shade in the white mist:
"Detective, tell me the truth, are you really a man?"
"Yes, God promised."
Xia De nodded immediately, and Miss Carina pursed her lips and said nothing more. She waved the golden necklace, and a door appeared in the white mist. The two of them passed through the door and returned to the corridor of the manor, and then returned to the study.
"Tifa, put the cat down."
The Duchess frowned and said, then motioned to Shade not to sit down first:
"Then, stand behind Shade."
The maid obediently came behind Shad, and Mia also trotted over and circled under Shad's feet.
"Now, grab both of Shad's arms from behind."
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
Of course, Shad didn't want to be fixed like this, but Tifa hesitated for a moment and still did it. Her body pressed against Shad's back, her hands wrapped around Shad's arms. Shad couldn't resist the strength of the Six-Ring Warlock.
"Hold him tight and don't let him resist."
The witch said with a blushing face, and then came in front of Shade. The two were almost touching each other, her face was only a little finger away from Shade's face, and Shade could even see his own reflection in those golden eyes.
"I'm sorry, Shade, I may have been rude."
"Wait a moment... ... "
She kissed Shad on the mouth, and Tifa behind Shad widened her eyes and reached down.
Because he was kissed, Shade couldn't speak, but that didn't stop him from feeling what Miss Carina was doing. He wanted to resist, but his body was honest and didn't resist at all.
"It seems Xiwei didn't lie."
She quickly let go of Shad and looked at her hand with a slightly red face. Tifa behind her also let go of Shad. Shad touched his lower lip. Although it was nice to be kissed by a beautiful lady, he was really a little angry:
"So, you still suspect I'm lying?"
"No, I believe you are honest. But I doubt that you know your own situation."
Miss Carina said, looking into Shade's eyes, she saw that Shade was angry:
"Now I believe it."
"Then I'm sorry, I might be disrespectful too."
Xia De put his hand on Miss Carina's shoulder. When he felt that she had no intention of resisting, he pulled her in front of him and kissed her.
At this moment, the witch smiled. Compared to Shade who was frozen just now, she was much more proactive. Following Shade's strength, she put her arms around Shade's neck and pulled her body closer to him. This kiss lasted much longer than the few seconds just now.
Tifa stood behind them with her lips pursed, while Mia raised her head and looked at the scene with wide eyes.
"Very good. If you do nothing but get angry, I will doubt whether I have made a mistake in judging you."
When Shade was a little out of breath, the red-haired witch let him go and tidied her hair with a blushing face:
"Although there is a huge gap between you and me, if you always ignore the issue of dignity for this reason... I know that I never make the mistake of judging people."
"Ms. Carina, do witches always think differently from ordinary people?"
What happened just now doesn't seem like something a normal person would do.
"We are witches. Others say that the witches in the council are not normal. Haven't you heard such rumors?"
Seeing that Xia De was still adjusting his breathing frequency, she smiled and said:
"Why, do you want me to arrange for Tifa to come to your room tonight? Because of you, she got a gift that even I envy, and I think I should at least give you some thanks."
Seeing that Xia De wanted to speak with unstable breath, she teased again:
"It's not like I can't see that Tifa has a crush on you. So, detective, don't you have a crush on my personal maid, this girl with a nice figure?"
Of course Shad would not lie, but he still refused:
"Of course I have feelings for her, but I don't think the relationship has reached that stage yet. I don't want to have any relationship with a girl just because she wants to thank me."
“So you want not only the body, but also the soul. Compared to Darkness, perhaps you are more like a devil.”
Miss Carina continued teasing, then raised her head slightly to Tifa, but the latter lowered her head and blushed, with her hands clasped together and didn't notice Miss Carina's gesture at all.
"Then let Tifa send you to your fortune teller friend. I need to contact Xivi and explain today's situation. Your friend is in the guest room on the second floor. When I came back just now, I went to see her. Basically, there is no problem, but she is too exhausted and needs to stay in bed for a while. But Shade, although the prophet can help you, it is too risky to let such a low-level ring wizard break into the dark realm with you."
She had investigated the people around Shade a long time ago and knew that Luvia was a ring wizard in the same group as Shade. But the witch obviously could not have imagined that in fact, Luvia had arranged Shade's entire action.
Xia De didn't explain much, he just nodded:
"Then I'll see you tomorrow morning, Miss Carina, and don't forget to send a letter to the Dawn Church to tell my friends that I am safe now."
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and said:
"Your lips are soft."
"Thanks for the compliment."
The Duchess was not embarrassed at all and responded lazily:
“But I can’t praise you, your kissing skills are really bad.
Good night, Shade. You can rest now, but there are still many things left for me to deal with. The reason why you and your friends are here, where I am going, the comfort team sent by the church... And the women in the parliament, they are probably going crazy after hearing the news. Not only them, Miss Mana Felena traveled through the curtain of time and came to the Sixth Epoch for a short time because of the second chosen one. As a result, the competition for the remaining eleven chosen ones will surely be more intense.
After all, the power displayed by the chosen ones is truly terrifying."
