Chapter 638 The Nun and the Cat
"Blood Feast"

Shade by the window thought got the answer.

"Detective, don't speak up."

The doctor stopped Shade's daring actions:

"Anyway, whatever you want to taste the devil's blood for, Drinking a small amount should not be a problem for a three-ring warlock like you, at most, the esophagus is corroded or insane for a while. Also, don't you have the power of 'gluttony' yourself, which will make you safer."

"What about the ordinary person?"

I don't know the detailed rules of the last reception, but the blood that Shade brought seems to be distributed to everyone. If it's too dangerous, he won't carry the blood of the devil. If it was a general danger, he would still take it. Sharing a small amount of blood will definitely not last for half an hour. The vampire god will continue to announce the end of the drinking party until the last second, so Shade should bring a few more for safety. . .

"It's hard to say, after all, no one has tried it."

The doctor scratched his head:

"Shade, what are you going to do? Are there any demons at Midhill Fort?"

"Not yet."

Shade replied casually, still hesitating, whether to bring the blood of demons there. past time.

In the evening, Dorothy took advantage of the afternoon to spend the afternoon in the attic of Shade's house, before Lecia continued with Shade's lesson on the fairy tale of "The Sleeping Princess" with the help of Dorothy's body. Prepare the ceremony formation, and other arrangements that can increase the success rate of the ceremony, so I still left the doctor's clinic with Shade.

And tonight Luvia is still like yesterday, she won't come to the third floor of Shade's house to watch the stars, so she said goodbye to Shade at the doctor's clinic.

Overcast clouds obscured the night sky in Tobesque, making visibility poor. Fortunately, she predicted the weather in advance, and knew that this rainy weather would end by the weekend, and there would be good weather in the next week or two.

“The Society of Prophets can actually boost sales of their Threepence by publishing extremely accurate weather forecasts, and can excuse their cooperation with universities.”

This is what Shade said in the afternoon when she helped Dorothy carry a whole box of matches to the attic, while the cat was crouching on the box, as if trying to get in as soon as Shade opened it.

"The Society of Prophets did this, but they soon discovered that as long as the weather forecast was published, the accuracy would drop to a very poor level. The rate is normal."

Dorothy said as she followed behind Shade, high pressure fire extinguisher in hand.

It was a brass-colored bottle about the length of a normal man's forearm, with a polished surface that could almost be used as a mirror. Pure mechanical structure, Shade does not know what the internal principle is, but in the era of the steam industry that has mastered the technology of steam bombs, it is still very simple to use the release of high-pressure steam to spray chemicals for fire fighting.

Dorothy's promotion to ceremony requires the use of a lot of matches, and in order to avoid burning the owner of the house, which was rumored to be a "haunted house", Dorothy asked Lecia to help. Several bottles of fire extinguishers came.

Judging from the Cavendish Xu Family emblem on the bottom of the bottle, it is very likely that Laceyah was moved directly from the warehouse at Yodel Palace.

"Speaking of which, did you go to Old John and ask him to help make a new red butterfly?"

Climbing up the stairs leading to the attic, Shade filled the I took out the carton of matches and put it on the top of the attic shelf. Seeing that he didn't have the idea of opening the box, Mia was very disappointed, she couldn't get down from crouching on the cardboard box.

"Go, Lecia directly gave Uncle John a money order for 3,000 pounds"

"How much?"

Shade looked towards in surprise. Goldilocks who is putting out a fire extinguisher:
"When I asked Papa John to make the original red butterfly, he only charged 1 pound for the labor and materials."

" So, it can only make Lecia and I look at each other from a distance and for a short time."

Dorothy bent over, hooked the half of the red butterfly pendant around her neck with her little finger, and shook it to Shade. Leo:

"Lescia won't be satisfied, just make us look at each other."

"What is she going to do?"

" We also know that it is unrealistic for us to completely ignore the strangeness of our souls and approach us with alchemy items alone.”

Dorothy stood up and clapped her hands, then went downstairs with Shade. Move other things. When Mia saw Shade leave, she reluctantly left the cardboard box that it was very fond of, and followed along with her short legs.

"Lescia thinks, at least we need to be able to get in touch, even if it's just for a second."

"That's it, she's really rich."

Shade exclaimed.

"Yes, the life of Her Highness the Princess is beyond our imagination."

Dorothy is a little worried, but not because of the money.

Sunday before dawn is the last time Shade can attend the 5E 3014 reception, and the blood so far is the blood of the unfortunate who was struck by lightning from old John. , and the blood of the evil demon - Sakato the Devourer from Granny Kassandra.

In order to be able to use the key on time tomorrow morning, after helping Dorothy move the box, Shade set off for Midhill Castle at 4:00 pm, intending to go to the House of the Blind and take Daveline The nun promised to take the blood.

He also agreed to Dorothy's dinner together in the evening, which made the still-busy writer smile.

Because this time I went to Midhill Fort purely to get things, and there would be no danger, so Shade also brought the cat that stayed at home and didn't want to move.

Compared to the consternation when she first saw the sea, after the orange cat Mia was restored from a doll to a real cat, she didn't have much reaction to the Xikar Mountain and the forest. Probably to this cat, dense urban buildings are not much different from dense trees.

Take the cat all the way down the mountain, there is no fog in the West Carr Mountain today, so Shade and Evil Spirit did not fight. On the contrary, the cat held by Shade kept glanced around in the mountains, and finally even suddenly raised his head to "meow wu~", almost making Shade think that his cat had turned into a wolf.

"Have you seen any danger?"

He stood alertly in the forest and observed the surroundings, but don't say danger, he didn't even find ants under his feet:
"Don't bark, if you really attract wolves, don't dive into my arms if you're scared to death."

He patted Mia's head, and the orange cat lifts the head with He rubbed Shade's hand sideways, but he was still very alert to his surroundings, and his big amber eyes continued to stare.

It was close to five in the evening when we arrived at the Blind House on Ruf Lane after entering the city. didn't expect Sister Daveline was here too. When Shade carried the cat and was led by the servants to the reception room on the third floor, Ms. Michelle, who was blindfolded, was facing Sister Daveline. sit.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Watson."

Ms. Michelle stood up to say hello, and Sister Daveline sat there, a little calmly nodded:

"Good afternoon."

The nun with the silver crown-style blindfold turned around and seemed to be looking at the cat in Shade's arms, but said nothing, instead telling Ms. Michelle for a while Leave, she has something to talk to Shade about.

"This is the blood that promised you."

He took out a silver ampoule from the pocket of the grey black nun's robe and handed it to Shade. The metal bottle was not cold to the touch. , but rather warm. Except for an eye-shaped emblem on the surface of the bottle, the bottle is smooth throughout. The "eye-shaped emblem" is the emblem of the [spirit cultivator order].

At the mouth of the bottle is a ball of red silk with a heavy sterling silver stopper.

Only this finely crafted silver bottle looks quite valuable, but Shade doesn't have the nerve to ask the bottle's true value:
"Whose blood is this?"

"The blood of some magical creatures that can survive in the lava, take a drop of each species and mix it into this bottle of blood. Although it is not very special, I think this bottle of blood should contain an entire subterranean lava creature. community.”

The nun said in a tranquil voice.

"What happens if I drink it?"

Shade asked the question again, and Sister Daveline didn't wonder like Dr. Schneider, she still put her hands together. On the legs:
"I have processed the blood in advance, their temperature does not exceed one hundred degrees, so after drinking it will only burn the mouth and esophagus. But even if you are not worried about being scalded, you should not drink too much, and contact the blood of excessive lava creatures , it must cause a manic change of mind."

"I understand."

Shade put away the bottle and picked up the curious cat who wanted to know what it was. On the lap:

"You seem to have other things to say to me."

"Yes, there are things I want to ask you for. Mr. Hamilton, did you know The little boy who can see the death date of mortal things in the city's rumors?"

Shade raised an eyebrow:
"I know, it's a small local organization, the Raven Club. I've already Seven days after the appointment, next Sunday morning to visit him, I am curious what kind of death he will see in me."

Sister nodded:
"I hope, You can come with me, and I'll pretend to be your friend. The cult is interested in the little boy, but the Ravens Club also knows about the blind nuns, and I need the cooperation of the Outer Ring Warlock."

[spirit cultivator] itself is a special organization that reveres nature and death, and it is understandable to be interested in that boy.

"Would you like to go in person?"

Shade curiously asked:
"Wouldn't it be better to let the other high ring warlocks in the order do this kind of thing? ?I didn't expect you to meet him in person."

"I have time, so I'll go."

She didn't want to explain, so Shade didn't Q:

"Where am I going to find you next Sunday? The club? Here? Or where is Mother-in-law Cassandra?"

"It's fine here, and this one Please don't tell Demoness."

The nun said, then hesitated for a while:
"I've been curious since just now, where did your cat come from?"

"Mia?"

Shade picked up the cat that seemed sleepy, and the cat lazily barked at the nun.

He introduced with a smile:
"This is actually someone else's cat. It was fostered with me. Because he stole some special materials, he was surprisingly intelligent. Why, Can you spot what's special about it?"

Shade asked excitedly, so far, he had had many people check Mia, but everyone thought the cat was really just a Ordinary cat:
"Please wait."

The nun lowered her head and slowly took off the finely textured silver eye patch. The pattern on the blindfold is indescribable, like clinging vines, like the roots of a tree, but like the eyelashes next to the open eyes.

Because there was no blindfold, her long ash-gray hair, which was not tied up, slowly spread out beside her ears, but the nun didn't mind.

Lifts the head, Sister Daveline looked towards Shade and the cat held by her waist with her dull eyes:

“so that's how it is ."

After just one glance, he lowered his head:
"This world, it really is balanced."

"Sorry, what does this mean?"

Shade asked, shaking Xiaomia in his hand:
"Is there a problem with this cat?"

"No problem, just like you, no problem."

"I see~"

Shade put the cat down, disappointed.

[Could it be that you must be satisfied that the cat you raise is not a normal cat? ]

"She" whispered in Shade's ear, Shade thought for a while, then shook his head:

"No, of course I hope Mia is all right. Yes, I'm disappointed What? I should be happy."

The young nun, who looked to be in her twenties, slowly put her blindfold back on, binding her long ash-gray hair. She had been using that older grammar, and what she said after lifts the head seemed even more incomprehensible:
"The disaster at Midhills is about to happen, for this city , you're the outsider, Mr. Shade Hamilton."

"That's right."

"So, outsider, have you decided to get involved in what's next?"

"I think the church should be able to solve the problem of life and death without the help of outsiders like me."

Sister Daveline pursed her lips and smiled, the nun This kind of expression is rarely shown, and Shade even thought she was always deadpan:
"I see some probability in my eyes, you must be entangled with the Midhills thing."

The blind nuns of the [spirit cultivator] also have strong divination abilities, so this sentence should not be said casually.

"But the seal at the foot of the mountain has been stabilized. Granny Kassandra said that the seal on the mountainside will be resolved by the Demoness Council, and the ancients who seal the passage on the top of the mountain will be communicated by the Orthodox Church. I think the outbreak of death , it should be able to delay it for a long time."

"No, the gate that has been sealed will open again sooner or later. The seal of the ancient Demoness emperor is by no means easy to find, and the passage to the top of the mountain is already in jeopardy."

said the nun softly.

Shade slightly frowned:

"You mean, this disaster can't be stopped at all?"

"No, I mean, the city It's still very dangerous. If you're still moving around here, then when you're in danger, you can go in the direction of the presence of the flames."

"Is this a prophecy?"

The nun hesitated After a moment, nodded:

"That's understandable. But don't worry too much, the order will do its best to prevent the disaster from happening."

"The order will also intervene in this matter. Why?"

"Because it's a responsibility."
