Chapter 86 Waking up
When Shade wakes up from a long sleep, he finds something strange in front of him ceiling. The ceiling is not white, where bright and solemn religious frescoes are painted.

He was in a daze at the picture of the saint sitting on the riverside preaching to the believers, but before he could sigh like "unfamiliar ceiling", a voice came from the side:
"Are you awake?"

“Auguspriest?”

Turn to look, Priest is sitting on the iron frame chair in front of the bed holding a newspaper, dressed in the white of the staff. robe. Not far behind him was the wall, with brass-colored gas pipes and enveloped steam pipes clinging to them, connected to gas lamps emitting warm rays of light on the walls.

The style of the gas lamp is very religious. The naked man holds his arms high, and the light radiates from his arms.

By this light, Shade saw that the newspaper in the hands of the priest was the Tobeysk Evening News.

In the two pages with the open newspaper facing Shade, the left side reports Rezia Princess's visit to Carson Rick, and the upper right side reports on the city's high incidence of children Trafficking incident, the next edition reported the earthquake in the south of Tobesque City. Judging from the reports, the damage caused by the earthquake was not great.

"Has there been an earthquake in Tobesque lately?"

Shade thought, just waking up, and saw that the current date is Monday, and this newspaper is only published in the evening
"Finally awake? You've slept almost all day, and it's already eight o'clock on Monday night. How are you feeling now?"

"Monday night? Oops! Mia!"

Shade was stunned for a second, then jumped out of bed almost in a second. He didn't expect that he would not be able to go home on Sunday night, and now the poor orange cat at home has been starved for a day, I am afraid it will die.

"Where am I now? Church? Priest, I'm going home! Mia"

"Don't worry, you're at Dawn Church, it's safe. Look , your cat is here too."

The priest said, gesturing Shade looked towards the pillow.

Sure enough, the little orange cat was lying there, and seemed to want to lose his temper after being awakened by the detective's conversation with the priest. But seeing Shade awake, he was very happy to rub the back of his hand with his soft face.

The cat's body temperature is slightly higher than the human body temperature, and Shade feels the warmth and softness of the newly woken Miia.

"Your cat is really obedient, at least when you're around. Is it Detective Sparrow Hamilton's pet? I thought detectives would be more inclined to keep dogs with a good sense of smell as pets ."

The priest asked curiously as he folded the newspaper and placed it on the bedside table.

"No, it's the client's pet. It turns out that I just slept for a day, so I'll pay it back."

He thought that using the power of "Divinity Overflow" would at least make him faint. Two or three days. If it's only for one day, then the price is acceptable.

"Speaking of which, what's the price I paid for using the last page of that script?"

[Divinity even healed you from facing Evil God, even more how Is it the price of using the relic? Judging from the situation at the time, the price seemed to be the gradual loss of hair. ]

She was still whispering in his ear, which reassured Shade a lot.

Stroking the cat, while sighed in relief, in a little daze, the memory before the coma rises in the mind again. Scenes and scenes in Lake View Manor seem to flash in front of my eyes-

Lord, Vine Arbor, Revolver, Evil God, Twelve Divinity Ascension Road, Miss Annat said " Whispering Poems" and the self before Yinyue:

"Is everything over?"

He sat up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

"If you mean what happened last night, it's over, at least it's over for us."

said the old priest, it seems that this remark has already been figured out Now, just wait for Shade to ask:

"We were almost discovered by the Orthodox Church, but with the help of your friends, everyone escaped smoothly, and no one knew what we did. I I will take you back to church and say you are my friend to take care of you. Luisa was taken care of by Anat, but the doctor was in a bad situation, he used the power of the Ascension Word forcibly, although in the afternoon Woke up, but I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for a few weeks, God bless him. Speaking of which, why did you sleep so long? But just wake up, you look good."

said the priest, picked up the teacup and handed it to Shade. He had been in a coma all day, and although he looked better than anyone else, he should be hydrated.

Shade thanked the priest, holding the teacup in one hand and continuing to stroke the orange cat, which was particularly energetic after being woken up. Judging from the attitude of Augustus priest, you can see that the doctor's problem should be solved:
"priest, how is your condition?"

"Very good, I'm probably other than Anat. The least injured."

The old man said with a smile, Shade was completely relieved, and asked again:
"My friend helped us? Isn't my friend you? Is it? Lavender Baron, but he still has such a face?"

"That's what you call 'the lady' who proves we've been with her all the time, not in sensitive places. The people in the church didn't even see us."

The priest said, stood up and checked the door again. After confirming that it was closed, he turned on the steam lamp in the shape of a man with open arms.

"So it's her."

Shade listened as he put one hand on the cat's lap and scratched its chin with his fingers, the cat squinted. neck up.

"However, before we left, the lady left you a letter for you to read when you wake up."

The priest took it out from the close-fitting pocket of his robe The envelope, Shade took it and pulled out the letter paper, and what he saw was a short message written in squiggly letters. This squiggly script, common among nobles, is a variant of Common Delarion.

"Oh? She told me to write to the Lucky Southern Cross Club when I woke up. She wants to see me, and I have something to do?"

Shade watched The letter raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't this very good? If it is to help you plainly, then it is worth being vigilant. It seems that this lady should not be a bad person."

The priest said, and then added :
"I've also been in this city for many years. In my opinion, 'that lady' is probably related to the royal family. To have such power to cover us in the situation last night shows that it is not ordinary The great nobleman. Although I couldn't see her face either, but there are probably no more than five women in the entire Tobeysk, no, the entire Delarion kingdom who can do this. Never heard of it before, among the contemporary royal family There's an advanced ring warlock, and it looks like our intelligence is still not enough."

"Do you know who she is?"

Shade folded the letter and put it on the nightstand to prevent it from being picked up by Xiaomi. Ya bit.

"Although I don't know, there are actually only those few possibilities. I won't guess. If she is willing to trust you, she will let you know sooner or later. Remember to send a letter early, although Be wary of strangers, but don't be too suspicious of helpers with good intentions."

The priest imparted his own life experience, and Shade was nodded, and he understood all these truths.

Probably felt that the room was a little dull. After talking about these sensitive topics, Priest got up and went to the window, pulling the heavy curtains open. Pushing open the window, the cool night wind blew in immediately, and both Priest and Shade let out a long breath at the same time.

The summer nights in Tobesque are slightly cool, entering July, and the midsummer is coming.
