Dr. Schneider and his friend were heading towards the Schluchsee Lake. It was already 7:30 in the evening, and there were many young men and women in formal suits and beautiful long skirts walking by the lake.
The three magical full moons and stars were reflected in the lake, and the shimmering lake surface seemed to overlap with the night sky. This scene surprised Xia De, who came out of the flower path and suddenly came to the moonlight from the dark environment.
No matter what part of his life he had never seen such a scene. In the cool summer night breeze, the stranger actually felt something about this scene:
He walked hurriedly in the civilization, and with a casual glance, he seemed to be about to touch the great power of nature. In this relatively idealistic world, this wonderful feeling represents power.
"Don't you want to say something?"
He stood on a high place far away from the lake, looking at the calm lake reflecting the moonlight and stars, feeling the summer night breeze, and only vaguely seeing the mountains in the distance. This picture was really beautiful.
Are you expecting a little touch to give you power? No, not yet.
"I am very curious, to what element does the power we feel from nature belong?"
That is your enlightenment.
As the two talked, the life ring in their souls rotated slightly, and brass-colored particles attached to the life ring. As it rotated, the elements transformed into spirits, stimulating the strengthening of the body and soul.
Every wonderful feeling has meaning, even if it is just an inconspicuous power.
Active and deep contact with the four elements will elevate your spirit and refine your soul and body.
As he gazed out over the lake, he could hear soft murmurs in his ears, like a woman laying her head on Shad's shoulder and whispering.
"In other words, theoretically speaking, even if I am a first-level sorcerer, if I can frequently come into contact with the four elements, I can defeat a high-level sorcerer with my physical strength?"
Shade asked, and then heard the woman's laughter. The sound was quite pleasant, and he might have misunderstood the meaning of previous laughter, but this time it was definitely a mockery:
Outsider, you have not yet understood the strongest point of the ring warlock system, and you still don’t understand the power of the elemental spirit runes.
"What is that? How did you know?"
I have a different perspective than you, and I see things differently than you do.
"So, is this sudden feeling a continuation of the luck I just had?"
Xia De still hasn't forgotten this incident.
The result of the dice of fate will be clearly presented to you, all you need to do is wait patiently.
The woman chuckled:
I thought you had noticed it. Remember what I said when I asked you to roll the dice
Xia De thought for a moment, then repeated while looking at the lake with his hands behind his back:
"'I see interesting things for you through my vision'."
Yes, at that moment, I saw someone killing you through the means of fate.
"Who is it? Oh, it must be Mercury Blood. Is this what Short Mouse Peter was talking about when he failed to take revenge using a Secret Keeper-level relic? What did you do? You are able to affect reality?"
He was a little surprised.
Of course I can't affect the world. But you are outside of fate. I just used your unique fate and fought back with the power of the dice. You can regard this as my unique power, born from your power. At present, the power I control is only this, which is your difference.
"So, you can help me resist all attacks from fate?"
Shade frowned, in fact, he was curious about whether the other party had other abilities. It was not uncommon for the "other self" to have some special abilities, but most of these special abilities were very weak and not worth mentioning. They were the "other self" as the other side of the soul passively accepting the elements and spirits of the original self after becoming a ring magician, and thus the "special functions" were generated.
However, the power displayed by Shad's "other self" is truly amazing.
Your power is just power, you also need tools, like that dice.
Xia De nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, still worried about someone trying to kill him. He noticed that the cruise ship on the lake in the distance was shaking slightly, but he couldn't see who was on the boat, nor did he know what had happened.
But he didn't care about that:
"Is this the reason for my good luck tonight? But it's still unclear."
Then just wait, the person who tries to kill you will eventually appear in front of you, this is what the dice has destined.
"How can I believe that you are me?"
But this is indeed your strength, and you will soon understand that I am with you.
Walking along the side of the back garden of Lake View Manor near the lake, he did not see any trace of Dr. Schneider. When he gave up the search and wanted to return to the front courtyard of the manor, perhaps his good luck was still continuing, he saw Father Augustus in the maze of the garden fence.
The priest was wearing a white robe with a holy emblem pendant of the righteous god Mr. Liming hanging on his chest. It was obvious that he was dressed as a clergyman.
When Shade saw him, the old priest was talking to an old gentleman with a cane. The old gentleman was wearing a somewhat outdated brown suit, and the huge gold ring on his finger caught Shade's attention for several seconds.
Because he didn't want others to find out that he knew Father Augustus, Shade didn't approach them rashly. Instead, he pretended to walk by the two of them casually, allowing Father Augustus to discover him.
Ten minutes later, Shad, who was standing under the statue of a knight on horseback holding a sword high, successfully waited for the priest to come.
"Mr. Hamilton, why are you here?"
Father Augustus was surprised. He walked over with big strides, and his agile appearance did not look like an old man.
"It's a complicated matter to explain. To put it simply, it's for the Rhodes brand... It's not important. I just saw Doctor Schneider."
He immediately got down to business.
"What, Bill is here too?"
The old priest took a few steps closer, so that the circle of candles placed under the statue could illuminate both of them at the same time. The cool night breeze of the summer night made the candlelight sway, and the breeze blew through the grass in the garden, making a rustling sound. It was not yet midsummer, so the sound of silkworms could not be heard for the time being. It seemed to be a very peaceful night.
"You don't know?"
Shad was even more surprised than Father Augustus:
"Just now I saw two teams of ring sorcerers from the Orthodox Church. One team I don't recognize, and the other team is from the Church of War and Peace."
He briefly described the characteristics of the first ring wizard team, and priest Augustus immediately understood that it was a ring wizard team under the Sun and Earth Church of the Orthodox God Lantern Old Man. This sentence also reminded Shade that he vaguely remembered that the owner of the Purple Iris Lane mentioned the identity of the young girl with long brown hair.
"What's going on? Is something going to happen at Lakeview Manor?"
Father Augustus asked somewhat uneasily, and he and Shade looked up at the Lakeview Manor mansion, but nothing was happening now.
"Maybe something is going to happen. I even saw Mr. Lawrence and his mistress, Mrs. Lazoya, just now."
Xia De added that he thought this was the key, and therefore suspected that the fact that he was able to meet so many people he knew was also part of his inexplicable good luck tonight.
Sure enough, saying the correct "keyword" allowed him to get new information from Father Augustus, and the father suddenly realized:
"I see. Now I understand. Mr. Hamilton, although I am not a ring wizard of the church, I can get some information about the actions of the ring wizards of the church. You mentioned Mrs. Lawrence's plan at the study meeting yesterday. When I went to see the doctor last night, I heard him talk about this. Can you guess which ring wizard Mrs. Lawrence found to help her?"
The old man asked. Xia De thought about it and asked incredulously:
"She found the True God Church?"
"Yes."
Father Augustus nodded:
"The noble lady your former client met at the tea party had encountered a mysterious incident before, so she knew the power of the church. She introduced Mrs. Lawrence to the church. The reckless lady told the church her information without confirming whether Lazoya really had a background as a ring wizard. This was probably similar to a false alarm. Mrs. Lawrence just wanted revenge... Later, Lazoya's information was fully investigated. He was indeed a member of Mercury Blood, and the church had been looking for him for a long time."
"Mrs. Lazoya is a man?"
Even though he had guessed it long ago, Xia De still couldn't help but be amazed.
