Chapter 2388 The Priest's Promise
"Pastor, it is hard to say whether I am a child or not."
Shade replied with a smile. Father Augustus ignored him and looked at what Shade was holding. His old face had more wrinkles because of the frowning action:
"Where did you find this?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards the bone, but was stopped by Xia De:
"Wait a minute, priest. I can't give this to you until your 'vacation' is over."
"I just want to see what it is like now. Don't be nervous."
After the priest finished speaking, he touched the bone. After that, no sound or light effects appeared. Shade also explained what had just happened:
"You also met the nun in Middleburg. She said her seal was not secure, so I wanted to ask you for help. Otherwise, I shouldn't have come to disturb your vacation."
"That nun is so modest. The seal is excellent, but..."
Father Augustus felt it carefully. He was not afraid of the faint light on the bones at this time:
"If you want to be absolutely sure, you should give this to me. This is the most active bone I have ever seen. I don't know how it was done, or whether it has anything to do with the abnormal light on it, but apart from me, you can hardly find any other 100% safe method."
"almost?"
Shade raised his eyebrows, and the priest nodded and told the truth:
"You can send it to real death. The power there will definitely be able to suppress any restless death. But the problem is that we don't know whether this layer of light will have an impact on death itself. I can feel that although this light is not strong now, its source is quite powerful."
He did not let Xia De make a decision directly, but let go of his hand:
"The nun's seal will last at least a week. You can find a safer place to store it. When you have made a decision, come back to me. I will always be in this orphanage."
The hidden space in the basement of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square is a very safe place. Shad is sure that the power of the bone cannot defeat the statue of the ancient god, but he is worried that the power of the bone may damage other objects.
Most of his belongings were stored there.
"Well priest, if I give this to you temporarily, what will you do with it?"
Shade thought for a long time before asking, and Father Augustus answered without thinking:
"Imprison it in my body temporarily to calm the restless death. This is yours, and I will not absorb its power without your permission."
Xia De still had great trust in the character of Priest Augustus. After hearing what the priest said, he was actually somewhat moved:
"So what are you going to do with the light on the bones?"
Rat Augustus smiled;
"Do you remember my core spirit rune?"
"I heard about it last summer. It was at the doctor's. There was only one, Enlightenment [Glimmer]. (Chapter 39)"
Shade said, and the priest nodded:
"My own power of death and the power of the core spirit rune are enough to suppress the light on this bone. However, in this way, my own power level will decline to the first or second ring in a short period of time, and I will not be able to use the power of the angel unless I want this bone to go out of control as you described.
But a temporary weakening of strength doesn't matter, I still have a lot of alchemical tools, and I've been in the orphanage all the time, so I haven't encountered any situations that require strength."
The priest is now a fourth-ring master, but in Shade's opinion, level is not important to him.
"Will it cause your power to decline? That won't do. Moon Bay is not a safe place right now."
Shade immediately shook his head and turned to say goodbye and think of other solutions, such as shamelessly visiting the "Lady of the Lake" in Huntington City, or directly asking Luvia to divine and find a solution, but the priest stopped him:
"I didn't think of helping you directly this time like I did in Green Lake. You and the doctor said I needed to heal the inner rift. Since I can't help directly, let me help you with this."
He pointed to the bone:
"You are in Yuewan. Even if I encounter a big problem, can't I just ask you for help?"
"But."
"Detective, this is not your character, or do you not trust me?"
"Of course not, but are you sure it's okay?"
"I have no problem with anything you have."
Seeing how confident Father Augustus was, Shade finally nodded in agreement. He handed over the bone, then watched Father Augustus take the shoulder blade and "stuff" it into his chest.
It was not that the flesh was pierced, but the surface of the body was rippled like the water. When the bone completely entered the priest's body and soul, Shade shook hands with priest Augustus to confirm his condition. After "she" told him that there was no problem, he was reluctantly relieved:
"This is my contact address. Our fortune teller friend is also here. Please feel free to contact us when you have time."
This time, Shad no longer gave the address of "Princess Trading Partners", but the address of Belindel Manor.
Father Augustus, who had been in the area for half a week, obviously knew what this address meant.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked Xia De up and down:
"Does the Duchess know about this?"
"Yeah, of course I know."
"You are still capable. Wait a minute, don't leave yet. Since you are here, I will give you some good things."
The old priest left in a hurry, but soon came back and handed a small bottle to Shad:
"I hope useful to you."
The slightly glowing liquid in the bottle was naturally holy water. Shade felt it with his hand and looked at the priest in surprise:
"No. 2 holy water puree? Priest, are you able to make holy water of this level now?"
The old priest was quite pleased with himself:
"Do you think the skull you found in Green Lake is the only thing that caused my current psychological problems? However, although it is very convenient for me to make Holy Water No. 3, and I can make as much as you want, the production of Holy Water No. 2 is limited by the raw materials and steps, and the output is very low. I came from Tobesk this time, and I brought three bottles that I just made with me. You can take this one."
The No. 2 Holy Water Puree is a real strategic material. No matter how rich you are, you can't buy it. Just like the Sage-level and Angel-level relics have never appeared on the black market, the preciousness of No. 2 Holy Water is actually very similar. Although Shade thought that the priest's "goods list" would increase a lot after the Green Lake incident, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing now:
"Then I will accept it without mercy."
"Don't be polite to me, just like I am not polite to you either."
After saying goodbye to the priest, Shad threw away the crystal shoes and returned to Tobesk's home.
It was late at night. Although the night in Tobysk, the "City of Steam", was still shrouded in mist as usual, the city was much calmer than Moon Bay tonight.
When Shad went upstairs alone, he saw Carina and Dorothy drinking tea and talking about summer dresses in a fashion magazine.
Seeing that Little Mia was not with Shad, Dorothy understood:
"Will you stay at Luvia's place tonight?"
"Yes, I came to say hello to you. If I didn't come back, I'm afraid you would worry."
Shad said this with some embarrassment. After all, Dorothy and Carina were staying here recently, but he had to stay outside. He knew it was wrong.
"Shad probably has some weird thoughts again. How can we be angry when you accompany Luvia?"
The red-haired Duchess smiled and said:
"Then go quickly. But you came to inform us so late, is there something wrong in Yuewan again? But according to the time, Sister Defulin should have arrived in Yuewan, right?"
So Shad sat down and briefly told them what happened tonight. When he talked about Helen and Grace, he glanced at Dorothy. The writer naturally understood what Shad meant:
"Lecia and I are not going to Moon Bay for the time being. We both have our own things to do in Tobesk, and under normal circumstances, the two of us can't help you much. As long as I'm here, I can go down to the basement and reach Moon Bay immediately, so if there is a need, we can appear on the battlefield immediately, so there is no rush."
Xia De nodded, kissed them goodbye one by one, and then went to Moon Bay from the basement. Of course, he had another file bag in his hand when he left. This was the investigation report of the Light Guiding Hermitage on the Eternal Light organization in Moon Bay that Old John promised him.
Because it took a long detour to get home, when Shad returned to Belindel Manor, it was already 9:30 that evening, but the ladies in the manor were still waiting for Shad to come back.
Before he arrived at the manor, everyone, including Sister Defulin, was in the study discussing tonight's events and future plans. The Moon Bay incident had developed to this point, and it was approaching the final battle. Even Ajelina could see the tense atmosphere of impending storms.
But it was already late today, so after making sure that Shade had returned safely, the ladies did not gather together to continue the conversation, but went back to rest.
Sister Defulin has not yet revealed her whereabouts to the church, so she and the nuns who came with her to Moon Bay will also live in Belindel Manor.
As a result, the manor's rooms are a bit stretched, but fortunately, there is now a portal in the basement that connects to the "Glorious Emissary" at the dock, and the "Glorious Emissary" can accommodate thousands of passengers.
When Shad came back just now, he said that he would stay overnight at Belindel Manor, so the countess enthusiastically arranged for Matilda to prepare the room for Shad to sleep in as well as pajamas and toiletries.
The Countess was talking to Megan in the corridor on the second floor, but she saw her blonde maid coming back soon.
The originally graceful head maid pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before telling her master:
"Miss, Mr. Hamilton said there is no need to prepare a room. He will sleep with Miss Annette tonight."
