The dense dark clouds attracted the attention of almost all the people outdoors in the nearby area, and almost all the ring mages in the center of Huntington sensed the terrifying power.
And on the rooftop of the mansion which was in almost complete darkness, the next second, a fiery red light lit up before one's eyes.
Emma Sylvia felt the hand holding her loosen, and the fire lit up in front of her eyes. She widened her eyes and saw the back of Shade walking forward. In the wind and darkness, fine cracks were spreading on his body, and the fiery red light, like the remaining burning, was pulled back by the wind to form a little fire.
Feeling the temperature of the flame at such a close distance, she was absolutely sure that this was the "Original Fire."
"That is..."
Shade understood what was in the brass box, and what would happen next. Miss Sylvia reached out to stop him, but Shade just threw his coat filled with items at the witch.
After stuffing the leaves into his mouth, Shade took the initiative to jump into the sky covered with dark clouds amid the panic of the witch and the fear of the priest, the vampire and the princess.
Thunder exploded, and the dark lightning in the clouds finally gathered into dark thunder, striking downwards.
Even the people fighting in the courtyard all looked towards the roof, watching the flaming figure colliding with the thunder.
Boom!
After the loud noise, everything was quiet. The horrible mental pressure was swept away, and the dark clouds above immediately dispersed, revealing the brilliant starry sky again. Only the buzzing in the ears proved that everything just now was not an illusion. Only the ring magicians could see that there were still flashes of lightning looming under the starry sky.
Snap!
Xia De, with smoke coming out of his body, fell heavily from a high altitude onto the roof. At this moment, the moonlight from three moons illuminated him lying on his back at the same time. Streams of burning white smoke rose from his body, and his clothes had become charred black.
What happened at this moment made the young witch a little at a loss, but she still bent down, picked up Xia De, and then disappeared on the roof.
"Um... ... "
Mr. Bernhardt looked hesitantly at the rooftop which had returned to calm, and then asked:
"Who were those two people just now?"
The middle-aged priest of the Peace Church slowly shook his head, walked to the edge of the roof and looked around, making sure that the Truth Society, the cultists, and the two unidentified people had all left.
"Your Highness, what do you have on you?"
The priest asked the princess, who pretended to be frightened, and she immediately shook her head:
"I don't know, but you can check my carry-on luggage. I don't have any contraband."
Her spellcasting materials were all in Miss Sylvia's hands, so she was not afraid of being checked.
"We'll talk about this later, but Your Highness, please remember that these two gentlemen did not show up tonight. Their identities are... somewhat sensitive."
The priest pointed to Mr. Bernhardt and spoke again, and the princess nodded immediately.
"Let's leave first."
Mr. Bernhard also said this, and then motioned Viscount Ramadi to follow him, but the Viscount respectfully bowed to the princess:
"Your Highness, I am Johnson Ramadi, at your service."
After making sure that Princess Margaret knew who he was, he left with Mr. Bernhard, who thought the viscount's behavior was very disgraceful.
"Will the truth?"
The priest muttered to himself, and then he and Princess Margaret waited on the rooftop for the church team to come to reinforce. On the other side, Miss Sylvia had already returned to her lounge carrying Shad's charred "corpse".
The Great Witch trembled all over, and put the "corpse" on the sofa. When she reached out to test his breath, she saw the fingers of the charred corpse suddenly trembled:
"Oh~"
Xia De sat up straight in the light of the gas lamp, which scared Miss Sylvia:
"How are you?"
The witch asked carefully, and then saw Shade, whose face was burnt black, open his eyes. He looked confused for a while, then opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke:
"Ahem, not bad."
He coughed loudly, then gasped for air, and touched his mouth with a sense of satisfaction, making sure that the Youthful Leaf was completely chewed and swallowed. He had to admit that the healing properties of this relic were really outstanding.
The action of raising his hand caused the black "shell" on Shade's body to peel off, revealing normal, delicate human skin again.
He looked at his arms and confirmed that the expensive suit was completely destroyed, but fortunately, he still had a lot of clothes that Lecia had prepared for him to attend the wedding next week.
But he was startled suddenly, and touched his head again, and found that his hair had turned black:
"This is bad."
"If you're worried about your hair, that's okay. I'll help you with that. Witches are good at growing hair."
Miss Sylvia said softly, and Shad finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Stranger, you have some understanding of "thunder", "fury" and "storm".
The voice rang in his ears. Xia De calmed down the violent agitation of his heart, still experiencing the feeling of being hit by the dark thunder just now:
"Are you sure it's a divine power?"
Yes, judging from the power of that thunder, there is at least one drop of divinity in the relic's furious divine punishment. Judging from your perception, it is most likely the divinity of the evil god's furious storm.
"It is true."
Xia De rushed towards the thunder just now, on the one hand, because he was the only one among the crowd who had "divine" resistance, and the full-strength attack of that angel-level relic was not so easy to block; on the other hand, it was also to feel the power more carefully.
Now it seems that before the matter of the "Lady of the Lake" was figured out, he actually encountered a second drop of divinity.
"Miss Sylvia!"
Shade suddenly said, startling the distracted young witch. Compared to Grandma Cassandra, she was indeed not that mature.
"I'm here, are you okay?"
She asked with some worry. The way Xia De risked his life to face the thunderbolt just now really shocked her. Now recalling it, if Xia De hadn't rushed forward, even if she was a tenth-level witch and a part-time tenth-ring warlock, she would probably be in big trouble.
"I'm fine, I feel great, but I need to take a shower."
He looked at the witch and asked suspiciously:
"What on earth does Princess Margaret have that is worth the Truth Society going to so much trouble for? Is it the book 'The Secret of Immortality'?"
"No, there are only two fragments of poetry on it. Although precious, it is not worth the price of truth."
Miss Sylvia said, her eyes drifting downwards, and her cheeks immediately turned red:
"You... put on your clothes first."
Throwing the coat that Shade had given her for safekeeping to him, Shade then noticed that all of his clothes were carbonized by the lightning strike, and as he stood up, the remains of his clothes also left his skin:
"Sorry, sorry."
He reached into his pocket to take out his spare clothes. The witch also turned her head slightly and raised her right hand to cover her side face, which meant to avoid suspicion.
But when Shade was looking for toys, the witch's white middle finger and ring finger on her right hand slightly separated, and her shy beautiful eyes looked down from between her fingers:
"Oh~ He is really a man"
Her face turned even redder.
After putting on the clothes, Shade told Miss Sylvia that she could turn around. For some reason, the young witch still had a blush on her face, but Shade had no time to think about what was going on:
"Tonight was really interesting. The Truth Society hired the local Pantanal Voodoo Society to provoke a fight between the Voodoo Society and the Church, leading to clues about the evil things in the Pantanal. They themselves are looking for something they don't know what it is. Huntington looks like it will be in chaos for a while. The Church will not let the Voodoo Society go. Miss Sylvia, it seems that your visit to Tobesk will not be peaceful. I'm afraid that Miss Pavo of the Truth Society will come to Princess Margaret again."
"It doesn't matter. At least she's still a sane lunatic."
Miss Sylvia seemed afraid to look at Shad's face. She reached for her handbag and searched for the potion to treat Shad.
"With you by Princess Margaret's side, plus the protection of Sexes and the church, I think nothing will happen. Besides, Tobesk also has Miss Carina."
Xia De sat on the sofa and put his new shoes on the ground.
"I invited you to this banquet, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. If you hadn't blocked the lightning in the end... Miss Jialina's praise of you didn't seem to be exaggerated at all."
Miss Sylvia said softly, handing a bottle of pink potion to Shade. Shade didn't know if he had any other injuries, so he pulled the cork and drank the potion. It was a cherry-flavored potion with a slight mint flavor, and it tasted very good:
"It's nothing, it's my duty to protect the beautiful ladies."
The young witch pursed her lips and smiled, and she had a preliminary understanding of why Duke Carina Cavendish, whose strength and power had almost reached the pinnacle of the material world, was so "fascinated" by Shad.
Although Shad was still talking to Miss Sylvia, his mind had already drifted to another matter.
After putting on his shoes, he turned around and looked out the window. After the dark clouds dispersed, the brilliant Milky Way shone above the mist. Shade found that the air quality in all the cities he had visited was better than that in Tobesk:
"I originally came to this city because of the rumor about the 'Lady of the Lake'. I didn't expect that I would find this from the cultists before I found the Lady of the Lake. There are more and more troubles."
He thought to himself that the city of Huntington, with its thousands of lights, looked like a giant crawling on a dark plain.
Miss Sylvia followed him to the window and looked out with Shade. She was concerned about the movements of the church's ring wizards. After the thunder, the ring wizards of the Pantanal Voodoo Society had already retreated, but the church did not let them go.
So, do you find it troublesome
"She" asked with a chuckle in the gentle evening breeze blowing in from the window. Shade's eyes widened slightly.
"Trouble? Of course not."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the dark distance under the night sky. The divinity of the evil god and the divinity of the unknown god, the two clues were now in front of him:
"I want the divinity of both places!"
