"It's okay to burn it. Although it's expensive, it's not unaffordable."
Leicia said indifferently, and hearing her sister say this, Ajelina beside her also smiled:
"Mr. Hamilton, Sister Leicia is very rich. Some time ago, she spent a lot of money to buy a ruby necklace..."
She closed her mouth consciously.
Afterwards, Shade simply brushed his teeth and washed up. Then, Leisia asked Shade what he thought of the story, and then handed Shade a few books she had brought.
There are many spirit runes corresponding to the Sleeping Princess. Ringmasters who are good at enlightenment elements, like Leixia and Dorothy, can obtain multiple spirit runes from them, and Leixia must ensure that Shad obtains sleeping.
The one-hour lecture was held in the study. The maids and Ajelina were ordinary people and could not listen to the content. So Ajelina looked around in Shad's house and finally read the book "The Queen and Her Lovers" on the bedside of Shad's bedroom on the sofa.
When Leicia and Shade walked out of the study together and saw what her sister was looking at, she immediately started to scold her:
"Ajelina, what are you looking at?"
It was rare for Xia De to see Leicia angry, and Ajelina was obviously very afraid of her sister. She stood in front of the sofa with her head down and her hands behind her back, not daring to speak.
"And, Shad, how come you have this kind of book?"
After scolding her sister, Leicia looked at Shade again. Although "The Queen and Her Lovers" was a legal publication, it was a very famous book with many sexual descriptions among legal publications.
"Well... the situation is complicated..."
Shade tried to explain, but if he really had to explain, I'm afraid both princesses would have to eat lunch here. After all, it's not possible to explain the relationship between Sparrow Hamilton, Grey Eagle, and Shade in just one or two sentences.
"Men of this age are really..."
She complained quietly, and then asked:
"What time is it now?"
The maid standing by the wall immediately took out her pocket watch and checked:
"Your Highness, it is now 8:29 a.m."
"It will take at most ten minutes to take the carriage back to the Yodel Palace from here, and then minus ten minutes to put on makeup, which means there are still ten minutes left."
Lecia nodded, asked the two maids to go to the kitchen first, and then pulled Shade to sit on the sofa.
She sat with Shad, Ajelina on a small sofa at the side, and the cat on Shad's lap.
"what are you up to?"
Looking at the way the red-haired girl looked at him, Xia De smelled something dangerous. He had seen similar looks in the eyes of the girls around him many times.
"Didn't I say last time? This time, I hope I can use my lips..."
Her right hand reached behind Xia De's head, then she hugged Xia De and kissed him. She pressed her body down little by little, and finally pressed Xia De directly against the back of the sofa. The expensive long skirt didn't mind the wrinkles at all, and it touched Xia De's clothes on this slightly cheap sofa. The long red hair almost covered Xia De's ears.
This forced Mia to jump onto the coffee table and meow at the two of them, probably wanting to protect Shade.
"Sister Leicia really likes kissing."
The little princess said, her face slightly red, and she wanted to get up and avoid it, but she heard an unclear voice saying:
"Sit here until we leave."
This is Leicia's voice.
"Why?"
"Your punishment."
Ajelina snorted:
“Really.”
But she still sat down, looking at the two shameless people opposite her with a blushing face.
"Why do I feel that you came here this morning not for my homework, but for this ten-minute kiss?"
This is what Shade whispered in Lecia's ear when he sent the princess and her group downstairs.
“In our busy lives, is there anything wrong with rewarding ourselves once in a while?”
"Lecia asked," the maids walking in front held two bottles of wine in their hands. They were gifts for the princesses that Shade prepared after he discovered that the fruit wine he brewed was very good.
After seeing off the two princesses, Shad took a cold shower at home to calm down, and prepared lunch for Mia before setting off again for Midhill Castle.
After walking out of the abandoned tower, I breathed in the fresh air of Mount Xikar. I first practiced swinging my sword a hundred times in the open space in front of the tower, and then went down the mountain to the city. The weather in Midhill Castle today was not very good. I could feel the strong wind in the mountains, and the sky was also gloomy.
When we got to the city, the gloomy sky and the city's smog combined to make the sky dark and terribly dark even though it was ten o'clock in the morning. In addition to the familiar burnt smell, there was also a strong smell of dampness in the air, as if it was going to rain.
Shad was holding a copy of the West Carla Post and standing at the intersection of Santa Carla Avenue and Oak Street waiting for the priest. The appointment time was around ten o'clock, but Shad waited until half past ten before he saw the priest hurriedly approaching.
"Sorry, there's just too much going on at church."
He gave Shade two brown paper folders:
"One is your magic, and the other is the information in the narrow space."
After finishing speaking, he just exchanged a few words with Shad about the bad weather today and told him how to contact each other in Midhill Castle. Then, Father Augustus hurried back to the church. It seemed that he was really busy here.
Holding two file bags, Shade found a tavern near the street and sat down to check the information of the two documents. Among them, priest Augustus actually gave four pieces of thaumaturgical information related to the real death:
The first one is the Eye of Death, a passive magic. When you encounter someone who is bound to die within three days, you can see strange black air currents from the other person's body. This magic is not only related to death, but also to fate, but this death that is seen can be changed. Once it is successfully changed, the black air currents will disappear, but this is usually difficult to do.
This is a high-level magic that can only be learned by a sorcerer of at least the eleventh ring, but the priest knew that Shade mastered many magics that low-level sorcerers should not know, so he told him the information about this magic, wanting Shade to try his luck.
The requirements for learning the Eye of Death are not high, it only requires one to have powers related to the eyes, otherwise peeping at death will be met with death's reverse peeping. As for the ritual materials for learning thaumaturgy, Augustus priests estimated that it was about 70 pounds, which was quite cheap compared to its effect.
"If you see the fate of death, can you change the fate of death?"
Xia De immediately shook his head:
"No, no, no, this magic is too dangerous."
He had long learned to fear fate and that it was better not to know some things. He was more willing to face the unknown but wonderful life and adventure.
What about the truth
"I am extremely afraid of things like changing my fate. I can even imagine that one day I will suddenly see a black aura appearing on the people around me. After all my efforts to save them, they still die at the last moment due to a ridiculous accident... So, instead of changing it, it is better to follow fate and believe that I can write my own destiny."
The second is death inspiration. Before one faces the fate of impending death, inspiration can capture some clues.
For example, if you are going to be burned to death, then when facing the stove, you may see some strange illusions from the flames; if you are going to be stabbed to death by a sharp weapon, then you may be accidentally cut when using a table knife; if you fall from a height... ...
"No, no, no, this kind of magic is not suitable for me. If I know my own death in advance, I will only be teased by death in advance."
Shade shook his head again and turned to the next page without even reading the information about this magic.
He sincerely hoped that the next magic trick the priest would provide would not be related to predicting the death of others or his own death. Compared to predicting death, he preferred magic tricks that could easily send others to "real death".
