"Oh, I forgot to tell Lecia about the printing plate of banknotes!"
I sent Leicia away, but there were other things to do tonight. Iluna and Luvia would come soon to summarize the matters concerning the second chosen one and deal with the door that resided in the origin darkness.
But they all had work to deal with, so they probably wouldn't show up until after 8 o'clock. Taking advantage of the time, Xia De returned to the second floor from the hallway, took off his shirt while going upstairs, and came to the bathroom with his upper body naked, observing his neck in the mirror.
After leaving the doctor, he had been with Leicia and had no time to confirm the marks. Standing in front of the sink, under the gas lamp, he saw the red marks on his neck:
"Is it that obvious?"
With his right hand pressed on his neck, as the faint silver moonlight emanated from his hand, Cynthia's Silver Moon Gift healed the wounds on his body that were not even considered wounds.
When he saw that the obvious marks had disappeared, he crossed his right arm across the front of his body and pressed the back of his neck from the left side, while turning his upper body slightly, trying to see what was happening on the back of his neck.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of being watched entered his heart, and Xia De looked back with a strange posture with a fierce look on his face:
"Are you spying on me?"
There is a cat standing at the door of the bathroom:
"Mia!"
The serious expression on Shade's face turned into a smile, and the cat immediately ran into the bathroom, and Shade bent over and picked it up. The cat stood on Shade's shoulder very measuredly, but did not scratch him with its claws:
"Although you were very naughty and got into the box, but considering that you helped a lot, tomorrow, after I get my reward from MI6, we will go out for a big dinner. A new month has begun."
This extremely clever cat seemed to understand what Shade said. It tilted its head, squinted its eyes, and rubbed Shade's face with its furry face.
Xia De continued to use his hands to treat the wound that might cause misunderstanding. Maybe it was because this body's self-healing ability was too good, but there were actually only some very shallow red marks.
When I turned around, I saw that the Huasheng Ring and the Fish Training Ring were still on the cat's tail. The Huasheng Ring was made of a material similar to pebbles, while the Fish Training Ring was just a ring, which looked like brass with dense runes engraved on the surface.
These runes can not only be interpreted in relation to each other up and down, left and right, but some runes even constitute another kind of rune. Even if this is not a relic, it must be a very powerful alchemical item.
"You're still wearing those rings."
Xia De asked. The cat meowed, raised its head and wagged its tail, looking very proud.
"Fortunately, the fish training ring is ineffective against cats."
What if it worked on cats
Hearing her voice, Shad looked up at himself in the mirror. As expected, there was no one behind him. But standing in the bathroom and looking into the mirror was very similar to when he saw Desire... except that he was shirtless now.
"I recited the activation spell of the fish training ring, giving Mia, whose tail was wearing the ring, the ability to speak human language. After ruling out the possibility that the cat's tail and the cat's body are two different creatures, this cat may be able to recite the spell of the transformation ring."
"Then what?"
She whispered softly in his ear, with a gentle smile in her words.
"I used to think that the Transformation Ring could only achieve the transformation between male and female. Even if animals used it, they could only change their gender and get another body of the same species. But from what Miss Felina did, the characteristic of this ring is to obtain a body, not to change gender. In other words, if a practical method is mastered, even Mia may be able to achieve the transformation from..."
Ding Dong~
The doorbell downstairs rang. It was Iluna or Luvia who arrived.
The first person to arrive at Saint Teresa's Square was not Luvia, but Iluna. She must have been very busy today, and after Shad went upstairs, she kept complaining about how many reports she had written.
For Shad, after dealing with Darkness, other things have nothing to do with him. But for the Orthodox Church, the finalization of the dark domain, the pursuit of the demons after they disappear, the investigation of other ring wizard organizations that came to Tobesk City, and the daily tasks of the city all need to continue.
As the first chosen one and the church ring warlock who killed the second chosen one, Iluna shoulders many responsibilities that only she can shoulder. This certainly brings the attention of the church and the improvement of her status, but at the same time, it also means that she can't enjoy life as leisurely as Shade.
Luvia showed up at Saint Teresa Square half an hour later than Iluna. It wasn't because the Prophet Association doubted her, but because President Stan called a meeting of the association's local ring wizards.
The content of the meeting was not only related to the summary of the Dark Domain operation, but also involved the secrets of the Prophet Association and the Truth Society, so Luvia did not tell the two. She just said that the Prophet Association and the Truth Society were hostile to each other. After being ambushed in the Dark Domain, although President Stan eventually defeated the opponent's ring wizard, the Association also wanted to organize revenge.
"However, our operation was very successful this time. Quite successful. You two did a great job."
Luvia looked at the two people sitting on the sofa tenderly. Shade stroked Mia and smiled. Iluna touched her face embarrassedly.
"It's mainly because your intelligence is accurate. Without those preparations, Shade and I would never be able to deal with Darkness."
"Two of the thirteen chosen ones have already appeared. However, I plan to take a break recently and wait until the Grand City Players' Rhodes Card Competition held in this city is over before I start dealing with the third chosen one."
"That's good, Luvia. You were indeed a little mentally disturbed some time ago."
Even Iluna noticed this.
"But before I rest, I still have to summarize the gains of this operation. I got the Enlightenment Spirit Rune and was promoted to the third ring. At the same time, I also learned a puzzle lock."
Shade said, and Iluna looked at her curiously:
"Actually, I wanted to ask yesterday, is it really that easy to learn the maze lock?"
"It depends on talent. Shade probably has a high talent for puzzles and fairy tales..."
The purple-eyed girl thought for a moment and changed her statement:
“Very high.”
"So my gain, by killing Darkness, I gained some knowledge that is obviously not 'balance', but 'darkness'. But it is only a small part. After all, killing the chosen one does not inherit the identity."
Iluna said, patting her head:
"Oh, the most important thing is this, you see."
The whistle sounded and steam gushed out. The two men and the cat looked at the golden life ring behind Iluna. She was a three-ring warlock. When they informed each other of their own situations before the battle, Iluna's three-ring spiritual runes were Profane-Thunderstorm and Whisper-Mountain.
Considering that the time when she became a third-ring was almost the same as the time when Xia De became a second-ring, she obtained two spirit runes in just one and a half months, which is considered to be very fast.
But now, there is one more spiritual rune in the three rings, which is a miracle with golden miracle light - black vortex.
"Black vortex."
Shade helped Luvia translate the meaning of the rune.
"oh?"
Luvia narrowed her eyes:
"Killing the chosen ones will allow us to gain their power?"
“No, no matter who kills the Chosen, they will not gain the corresponding power. The current situation seems to be due to the talent of ‘Balance’. In fact, I don’t really understand it, but the Chosen of ‘Balance’ seems to have a very unique status among all the Chosen. Therefore, I gained a very small amount of power from Darkness.”
As Iluna spoke, she drew a circle in the air with her right index finger, and a small black vortex appeared:
"Thaumaturge - Black Vortex. Compared to Darkness's, mine is not very powerful, and I can't move through space."
She suddenly put her hand into the vortex, and then another vortex appeared next to Shad. Iluna stretched out her arm and touched Mia, which scared the cat and made it meow.
"Meow!"
Mia was not willing to be frightened, so she immediately rushed towards the hand. However, she did not expect Iluna to pull her hand out of the vortex immediately, so Mia jumped over the vortex and fell on Iluna's legs.
Iluna was very happy and hugged Mia tightly, and the cat cried out in grievance, wanting to ask Shade for help.
"Look, the chosen one is indeed the protagonist."
Luvia lamented to Shade, but Iluna did not comment on this statement:
"This is really interesting. I don't have any feelings about this miracle, but I feel like it has become a part of me. I think there should be more ways to develop this strange spiritual rune. I need to think about it carefully... But this way, I am one step closer to being promoted to the fourth ring."
She let go of Mia, who immediately scurried toward Shad.
The chosen ones are promoted very quickly, and apart from the surprises like Shade, their talents are almost unmatched.
"You killed the Chosen One, witnessed the story of the Second Chosen One, and I gained power."
Luvia then said, she summoned the life ring behind her, which also had three rings, without any additional spirit runes:
"My divination ability has improved. In other words, participating in special destiny nodes has allowed me to feel the trajectory of fate more deeply. You can regard this as the talent of my 'other self'. In short, my ordinary divination has become more accurate, and divination that pays a price can also predict more things with the same consumption."
She leaned against the sofa, her head slightly tilted, and under the light of the life ring behind her, there seemed to be a purple halo between her eyes. She was clearly looking at Shade and Iluna, but they clearly felt that she was looking at something else.
