Chapter 2418 and Matilda
"If Shade can use the Words of Ascension, that's certainly good news."
Luvia asked Xiang Xiade:
"But is it necessary to use your Words of Ascension? The arrival of those demigod witches should have an effect, right?"
Xia De, who had already considered this, was quite cautious:
"I thought a long time ago that the sacrificial site might meet my needs. The first two times I saw it, I felt the power of time.
My low-level sublimation words do not require rituals, just meet the requirements of the occasion, but still require a huge amount of spirit. Last time in the Heart of Pantanal, I relied on the power of the promotion. This time, if I can be in the sacrificial field when I am promoted, I can try it. "
But compared to the ancient witch of the Fifth Age, Shade's plan is actually to call Miss Isabella in the "Past Life, Sixth Age". After using the "Thorn of Eros" to superimpose the puzzle "Clock Tower Lovers" to merge the two into one, Shade has the opportunity to use the unfinished puzzle.
Of course, Shade’s low-level sublimation words are ineffective against [Witch’s Echo·The Last Speaker Isabella] (Chapter 2040), so Shade needs to figure out how to call her himself.
The demigod ladies of the Fifth Age were indeed powerful, but unfortunately, demigods were not gods after all, and still could not play a key role in the fight against evil gods.
Although Shade has not yet experienced the power of [Maze Lock·End City Tobesk], he feels that once this maze is unfolded, even gods will be affected. After all, that is the end of all things.
The girls would not give Shad any advice on what to do, as Shad had always made his own decisions. But at least the news brought by Iluna was good. If the [Dragon Feast Shrine] failed to become the final chosen one's ceremony site, it would be even better. Even if it became the ceremony site, Shad could take this opportunity to do something.
Iluna left soon. Shad had originally planned to talk with Luvia again, or go to the Randall Valley to inform the "Guardians of the Earth" who could not leave easily to prepare for the decisive battle.
But just a moment after Iluna left, Miss Matilda hurried back to the manor.
She had originally gone to the Dawn Church with the Countess, not to attend church services, but to have a secret meeting with Earl Eddington. She must have come back alone for something important.
"Mr. Hamilton, we have made some progress in investigating the Eternal Light based on the information you provided about the father and son who worked as dock workers. Do you have time now? I just received news that a branch of the Eternal Light in the downtown area will hold a rally at 11:00 noon, and some big shots at the priest level of the Eternal Light will be there."
The structure of [Eternal Light] is quite simple, and the "Priest" is already the core character.
"Eleven o'clock? It's just past ten now. OK, I'll leave right away."
But the blonde maid did not give the address immediately, but said in embarrassment:
"In order to sneak into the rally, the people in charge used the identities of a couple. If you go alone, and you look like a northerner."
In fact, Shade could have disguised himself as a southerner using more complex illusions, but at this time of year he was unwilling to go out with his face severely modified by illusions. After all, no one knew whether he would encounter someone with high perception.
"Then find someone to go with him."
Luvia suggested, then looked around:
"Although Margaret is not here, can't we find a Carsenrick girl of the same age as Shad here?"
She looked around. Sister Defulin and she were both from the north. There were quite a few maids here, but she wanted to find a girl that was familiar to Shade. Miss Swift, Tifa, and Ajelina were also from the north. Emilia's elf face was even worse.
Miss Hayley Aurora is nice, but she is currently busy preparing for the relocation of the alchemy workshop and potion laboratory with Megan in the basement of the manor, so -
"Matilda, why don't you go with Shade? You are very familiar with the situation in Yuewan and won't easily expose Shade's identity as a foreigner. And you are also very adaptable and won't make mistakes easily."
Sister Devlin also nodded in agreement with the suggestion, only the blonde head maid pointed at herself and her face turned red.
She subconsciously looked at Xia De, and Xia De also looked at her:
"So, do you have time to go with me?"
No one knew that what she was thinking about at this moment was the scene that had appeared in her dreams frequently in the past week. But there was really no reason to oppose this proposal at this time. Even before she came back, Miss Belindel told her that if the manor and the ship needed her, she didn't have to rush back.
"The meeting is at eleven o'clock, so I might not be able to make it in time for lunch."
Finally, the blonde maid just said:
"Let's eat something before we go."
"Meow~"
The cat standing on the table immediately meowed, and this time Shade would take it with him. After all, no one would suspect that the "couple" who brought their pet cat to the rally were actually pretending to be in a relationship.
Although it is called a secret meeting, this seemingly ordinary people's organization would not arrange for citizens to meet in abandoned haunted houses or remote rural woods in black robes.
The noon meeting was arranged at the "Lark Theater" in the lower city area in the southern part of Yuewan City. This theater often arranges some not-so-elegant opera, magic, acrobatics and even poetry recitation performances at night. It is similar to the venue of the "Jasmine Opera Company" performance that Shad had seen in Tobesk, which is very close to the "Three Cats Inn".
"Lark. The first commission I tried to complete was to follow Mr. Lawrence who was cheating on me at the Lark Club. Then I discovered 'Mrs. Lazoya' and the Huasheng Ring."
He just sighed silently in his heart, then changed into clothes suitable for ordinary citizens, and got into the carriage with Miss Matilda, who had also changed her clothes and was wearing a coarse blue skirt and a beige straw hat.
Shade seldom stayed alone with this southern maid. When he got on the carriage, he wanted to find some topics to talk about. However, he did not expect that Miss Matilda, who was sitting opposite him, would turn her head towards the window.
But soon, the well-behaved head maid realized that her actions were very impolite, so when the carriage was driving in the fog, she took the initiative to speak:
"My name is Matilda Ellington."
Xia De immediately understood that she was reminding him that the way he had addressed her was a little wrong, so he nodded:
"Yes, Miss Ellington. By the way, how did you meet Miss Belindel?"
This was considered prying into other people's privacy, but the blonde girl didn't feel offended:
"My grandmother and mother were both maids of the Belindel family. My grandmother was the head maid of the young lady's grandmother. When I was a child, I actually grew up with the young lady in the manor. She was a few years older than me."
After all, she did not dare to mention the specific age of the countess:
"Later, she became the apprentice of the previous generation of 'Destiny'. A few years later, I also unexpectedly awakened my talent. At that time, the young lady's teacher had not yet passed away. She divined for me and believed that I would be able to help the young lady in the future and would become her best assistant, so I became the young lady's first apprentice."
She is also the only apprentice at the moment. Although Bella Belindel is past the age of a "girl" in the eyes of ordinary people, she is still very young for a witch.
"Is that so? This is different from Tifa. When she and Carina met, they were both over ten years old. But they grew up together."
Shade said with a smile.
Carina rarely talked about her childhood, in order to maintain her dignity in front of Leicia. But every time she leaned on Shad's chest, held Shad's hand in the bedroom and talked about the past, she was always happy that she fell in love with Tifa Servet at first sight.
Once they started chatting, the atmosphere along the way was no longer so awkward. Shade still didn't know why the blonde maid had been afraid to look at him recently, but at least now it seemed that Shade had not offended her unintentionally.
Communicating with each other can also help you deepen your understanding of each other, which will be very helpful when you pretend to be a "couple" later.
By the time they got off the carriage, Matilda no longer felt strange to Shad. This was also the first time she had such a detailed communication with Shad. Listening to Shad narrating the details of his life while stroking the cat, she also felt that Shad was actually a good man.
Of course, if she thought about the scene she saw outside the restaurant that night, the head maid tried her best not to think about it.
The "Lark Opera House" is located on Woking Avenue in the lower city. There are no performances in the opera house during the day, so it can be rented out for various purposes. It is even possible for ring warlocks to rent it for black market transactions.
This time, [Eternal Light] was rented for a whole day. When Shad and Matilda came to the door of the not-so-big two-story building, he raised his right arm to signal the maid to come up, but the latter first reached out to help Shad adjust his collar before she put her arm around her.
She took a deep breath, and her expression quickly became gentle but a little nervous. Even though she was not one of the professionally trained girls in the Golden Dawn Opera Company, she was still very good at performing.
On the left and right sides of the Lark Opera House are a herbal medicine store and a ready-made clothing store, but the combined area of the two is similar to the size of the opera house. Although the opera house is shabby, at least there are signs hanging on the second-floor windows, and on the left and right sides of the double-opening first-floor doors, there are performance schedules for the past week and advertisements for the opera house.
Xia De reached out and knocked on the door. Soon, a thin woman wearing a headscarf and holding a broom poked her head out from the crack of the door. She had high cheekbones and a not very long scar on the right cheek:
"The opera house is closed during the day. Please come back at 7pm to buy your tickets."
"Mr. Whiskey invited us here. Have Mr. Rum and the others arrived?"
These are the names of the wines, which are actually secret codes.
