Chapter 2561 "Succubus"

Chapter 2560 "Succubus"

As soon as she finished speaking, the gray-black-haired witch wearing glasses was satisfied to see the handsome man's eyes that had been a little cold and wary since he entered the room, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Shade was indeed very interested in this card.

"How about you, would you consider doing me this favor?"

She asked with a smile again, clasping her hands on her chest and looking at the man in the sun through the window.

"I need to make sure that the card is not in the hands of your missing uncle. You have to find him to get it, right?"

Shade asked seriously, and the witch immediately shook her head:

"Of course not, how could I do that kind of thing? That card is in the hands of my apprentice. She is also a Rhodes card lover like you, but the card belongs to me, I just let her keep it temporarily.

I separated from her before entering Vista Grove some time ago, and asked her to take my followers to Willendale to find another witch to do some things. She'll be here next week, and you'll be able to see the card then. "

"I can't guarantee that I'll find the person you're looking for."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to help me."

The witch smiled and stretched out her slender white hand to Shade again:

"Knight, happy cooperation."

Shade held it, and then found that the witch was holding his hand and wouldn't let go:

"What a perfect hand."

Shade took the initiative to break away from his hand and thought she was rude. The artist lady didn't care at all about Xia De's eyes, but asked happily:

"When this matter is over, let me paint an oil painting for you? I used to always look for girls as models, but now I find that men are also worthy of my painting. You know, others are rushing to let me paint, I refuse them all.

Queen Camilla once wrote a personal letter inviting me to paint her portrait, and that painting still hangs in Cold Spring Palace. "

Shade was not interested in oil paintings, and besides, there was already a painting of a snow scene painted by Helena Oxenfurt for him hanging in his home. But he still nodded:

"It's my pleasure."

Then Miss Winslet became more friendly to Shade.

Seeing that her attitude was so good, Shade thought about explaining his relationship with other witches as planned, but unexpectedly Miss Winslet said again:

"But have you discussed it with Carina? What does your existence mean to us?

Fortunately, you only have a clear relationship with Carina and got to know me. If you bewitched many witches at once, I would definitely report it to the Speaker immediately. "

"why?"

Xia De was startled, but she smiled and raised her eyebrows:

"Because in this case, aren't you a 'succubus' specifically targeting us witches? This is not acceptable, the devil will be killed.

But if you only have a relationship with Carina, I would turn a blind eye and pretend I didn’t see it. Of course, I'm not saying that other people will be as interested in you as Carina, but you sure are interesting. "

She didn't realize the consequences of her words, but walked towards the piano in the room in a good mood. She didn't see the complicated expression that suddenly flashed in Xia De's eyes when he looked at her back.

[Are you going to arrest her into the basement? 】

"She" seemed to be smiling happily.

"I don't have this kind of hobby."

[Then you won’t tell me the progress of your entire Witch Council plan? 】

"Wait a little longer, I think we should get more familiar with it before telling you the secrets."

Now that she and Shade have revealed their identities to each other, Miss Winslet has also revealed her "curse". Miss Daniste's curse is her own time regressing and "time freezing", while her body is transformed into an "owl form" that enters the past.

"The human form I am showing now is just the effect of the transformation spell. Like Miss Danister, my strength has also declined. In the owl form, it can be regarded as eight levels at most, but in the human form, it can barely be regarded as ten levels, but it consumes a lot of money. , far worse than the normal eleven rings.”

At this time, Shade and Miss Winslet returned to Miss Daniste's room, but the witch still maintained her human appearance:

"Even just sitting here talking to you like this, the consumption of my own spirit exceeds the recovery speed of my spirit.

I experimented last night and found that my owl form does not consume spirit; the spirit consumption of small ordinary animal forms such as cats, rabbits, sparrows, etc. is much less than before I was cursed; the spirit consumption of large animals such as bears, elk, etc. The cost of the animal is slightly less than before being cursed; however, the cost of any transformed state involving extraordinary power is greatly increased. "

"So you can't maintain a long-term fighting status now?"

Shade confirmed, and the witch nodded:

"Yes, although it is better than your teacher, it is not much better. I guess that bottle of umbilical cord of yours should also be able to temporarily return me to normal, but the punishment will probably be worse when I return to an adult. difficulty."

"So, recently, although Winslet and I can cast spells, we will try to avoid high-intensity combat situations. Shade, you may have to work harder."

Miss Danister ordered, but Shade didn't have any objections to this:

"No problem, and I suggest that you don't show up easily anymore. It's hard to say whether 'cursed people' like you will attract the attention of others, and I'm worried that if there really are so-called 'time travellers', they might also I can easily notice you. Were you frequently active in the city before you disappeared?"

Both ladies shook their heads. They both came with their own purposes. The thirteenth-ring sorceress and the eleventh-level witch were very cautious.

"Well, although the three of us are investigating together, I will be responsible for most of the activities in the city, and you will be responsible for the areas outside the city. The first is the [Hermit Group in the Forest], who believe in the old god 'White Holy Tree' Ring Warlock group, they are active in the Vista Grove, do you know about this? "

Miss Denister nodded:

"I came here to find the astrologer from a hundred years ago. The initial plan included contact with the [Forest Hermit Group]. They were here a hundred years ago. No problem, I will be responsible for contacting them."

"Also, there are countless ancient ruins scattered in the Vesta Grove. I hope to investigate the ruins related to the ancient god of time, or to those old gods related to time, such as [Yahua Gate] ] Relevant remains.”

"No problem, I'll investigate."

The gray-black haired witch took the initiative to take over the job:

"My apprentices and followers are coming with relevant documents. I can complete this task in the inn. In addition, I will also keep an eye on the inn, especially on the broom room."

Shade nodded:

"The direction of my investigation is the Bennet family. Since the cabinet can be traced back to the old Bennet house at the earliest, I think we should be able to find some clues."

Of course, although the direction of the investigation had been determined, Shade did not stay for lunch at noon. Instead, he put down the clothes prepared for Miss Denister and left, and agreed to come back tomorrow morning to meet with the two ladies. meet.

He attended the group's study meeting on time in the afternoon, because the autumn semester had just begun, so even the doctor didn't urge them to prepare for the "upcoming" winter exams, so this meeting was nothing important.

During this period, Shade mentioned the topic of time travel to others.

He did not say that someone disappeared and was found by him, but he just mentioned that he found the magical cabinet, and thus talked about the "Tree Cave of Time".

Luvia didn't say anything because she had known about it for a long time, but Dorothy, Priest August and Dr. Schneider had different opinions on it.

Miss Writer cited many examples to prove that such props often appear in fairy tales. Priest August wiped his pipe that he never seemed to light:

"Time Tree Cave, I know, I mean I have heard of this ancient legend.

Those tree holes are not fixed on a certain tree, but appear randomly without any rules. It is a magical gift left by the ancient tree god in the material world, but if you abuse this gift, it will bring about a punishment more terrible than death. "

As he spoke, he glanced at Shade. Obviously, this was not "heard" but this part of the information in the angel's knowledge:

"If you don't want to destroy that cabinet, you must not use it yourself. This may cause big trouble."

"I have also heard of this ancient legend."

The blue-eyed psychiatrist also said that he was looking very good now that he had been promoted to the ninth ring, but he was still cautious about time:

"The Time Tree Cave is a power that demons dare not touch easily. Even the ancient evil spirits are afraid of the power of time.

Only those who truly know their mission dare to use the power of the Time Tree Hole. Shade, even you, don't touch that kind of thing easily.

There are rumors that some strange beings continue to guard time after the tree father leaves. This may be the 'time guardian' you mentioned. "

Demons and angels are equally afraid of this kind of thing, and their attitudes towards it are exactly the same:

"Although that cabinet is very precious, you'd better chop it up and use it as firewood."

Shade doesn't have this idea yet, but seeing how cautious the two of them are, he plans to urge Carina to make the imitation cabinet as soon as possible.

After the group meeting ended that day, Priest August stopped Shade and planned to go with him.

Of course, actually talking to Shade about other things:

"Last time you said you were temporarily placing [Angel's Right Arm] with me, didn't I say you were preparing the potion? The potion has been prepared, and you will definitely like it."

The carriage carrying the two people set off from the entrance of the psychological clinic and headed towards the west of the city. The priest took out a glass test tube only the size of his little finger from his robe. The test tube was sealed with beeswax.

The liquid with a pleasant golden color was beating in the test tube, and Shade could feel traces of active elements just by looking at it:

"This is?"
