Chapter 3018 Helping Hands

After saying goodbye to Old John, Shade, who brought the supplies raised from the priest and Old John, did not rush to the next city immediately. Instead, after putting the things in his hands at home, he looked at the direction of the Yodel Palace from the window.

So twenty minutes later, in the round study of King Larus III in the Yodel Palace, Leicia, who was sitting outside the huge curved desk in the middle of the office and looking at documents, suddenly heard a few slight cat calls.

The princess looked up and saw Mia and a silver cat smaller than it squatting on the windowsill outside the glass.

"Oh~"

She cried out in surprise and hurriedly got up to open the window to let the cats in.

Because the sun was late today, the lights in the Yodel Palace were still on at 11 o'clock in the morning. As the political center of the entire Delarion Kingdom, this study that Larus III used most often was illuminated in every corner by wall lamps, crystal chandeliers, table lamps and table lamps.

However, His Majesty the King was not in the study for the time being. When Leicia opened the window to let the cold wind and the cats in, she was the only one in the study.

"Dorothy has already told me about tomorrow night, so you don't have to come and tell me again. Grace and Helen will take me there directly. Even if you miss me, we can still meet tomorrow."

Her Royal Highness smiled and said after closing the window, and then picked up the two cats at once. The reason why Mia didn't struggle was that she was concentrating on rubbing the silver Shade cat.

So Shade the cat jumped onto the carpet and turned into Shade. Leixia put Mia on her father's desk and hugged her lover:

"Let me guess, you are not in a good mood, so you want to be comforted by me?"

"Lexia, you really know me very well."

Shade hugged her and sighed:

"Sometimes I also think that after so many things, I should have been used to the calm before the war, but now it seems that I still can't."

"You always comfort others, and of course you also want to be comforted. No one is born to fight so many troubles and enemies. When you show weakness in front of me, I can feel more clearly that you are a real person around us."

Shade let go of her with a smile, and found that the princess's emerald green eyes also looked at him.

"Your statement is strange. Whether I am a human or not is as certain as whether Mia is a cat."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Knight, do you need me to comfort you further?"

"A kiss?"

"Father just went to the parliament and will probably be back after the meeting at noon. Although the conscription mobilization orders for counties across the country that I am dealing with are troublesome, they can actually be resolved in an hour."

Her Royal Highness smiled and suggested:

"Do you want to try it here?"

"Absolutely not!"

Shad refused, and gave Lecia a passionate kiss before she could come up with further ideas:

"Lecia, it's really cold recently. I've left you behind. I'll make it up to you after the matter in Vestal Forest is over."

"You, you always think about other people's affairs. When can you think about yourself? I think after the matter in the forest is over, what you need most is rest."

She helped Shade straighten his collar:

"Okay, then let's see you tomorrow, Shade."

"See you tomorrow, Leicia. By the way, is your father ready to carry out a nationwide conscription mobilization?"

The next stop after Tobesk is Randall Valley. In fact, because Shade often helps Vanessa to get things in Randall Valley City, he goes to the Forgotten Church almost every week.

It was still dark outside, so the lights were on inside the Forgotten Church, which was completely new compared to last year.

The golden candles on the candlesticks were burning under the wall where the holy emblem was hung. The incense smell produced by the burning candles made the interior of the church feel intoxicating and sacred.

This time, the guardian did not go to the yard to meet him, because when Shade came out of the basement behind the church, the girls who lived in the church told Shade that the guardian was waiting for him.

Today's guardian appeared in the face of Mr. Lathers, the father of Hillis, and he sat on the long bench in the middle of the church.

"You knew I would come today?"

"It's just a guess, after all, the current situation is really horrifying."

After Shade sat down beside him, the guardian dressed as a clergyman said:

"Even though I had anticipated the worst, I could not have anticipated that so many things would happen in just one week. I have read the information you sent about the Doomsday Rift and the Crazy Moon. In addition to today's situation, it seems that the Chosen One of Time must be chosen."

Shade nodded and briefly explained the current situation of the forest and the enemies to be faced next:

"The time is Saturday night, the day when the silver moon shines."

"What do I need to do?"

The guardian asked, and Shade had already thought about it:

"You stay in the city and assist the church in protecting the city of Vesta. Once the city falls, the fragile time balance of the forest will be immediately broken. By then, even if the Chosen One of Time competes, I am afraid that the entire area will still be swallowed by the time rift."

The power possessed by the guardians may be different from that of real demigods, but at least any thirteen rings cannot defeat them. But it is obvious that the guardians are no match for the ancients in the forest. The power of the earth cannot restrain time and trees.

Therefore, letting the guardians help defend the city is the safest arrangement that Shade can think of. He didn't want to take Emilia everywhere and finally reach the last step, only to find that the city was gone.

Mr. Lacers nodded in agreement:

"When do I need to show up in Vista City?"

"Do you need to make any preparations in advance to help defend the city?"

"To be on the safe side, if I can arrange a large-scale ceremony in advance, my spellcasting effect will be better."

The thaumaturgic spells of the Ring Warlock can be amplified by rituals. For example, the "Seal of Heaton" of the Church of the Sun is theoretically a single-target defense capability, but with the assistance of wands, rituals, and choirs, it can cover an entire city. Not impossible.

"Then you should leave immediately. The Five Gods Church should be making preparations now, and they will cooperate with you."

After leaving Randall River Valley, the next stop is Yuewan City.

Enter this area from the Dragon's Nest outside the city, and then enter the city through the St. George Stone Bridge. When riding a carriage to the autopsy room in Spider Lane in Lower City, Shade found that the residents of Yuewan City were very accepting of today's special celestial phenomenon, or that they were not as panicked as residents of other areas.

After all, they have just recovered from the catastrophe in the "ancient prophecy", and now the people in the City of Fortune are very accepting of everything.

Spider Alley is still the same, and the lit Spider Tavern guides Shade, because the sewer entrance to the underground autopsy room is not lit. The guards responsible for guarding the entrance to the autopsy room were absent as usual, and Shade guessed that they were playing Rhodes in the tavern.

And when Shade entered the autopsy room area along the sewer, he found that Mr. Ptolemy Albert was the only one in the autopsy room today.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that my colleagues didn't come to work. Although it's still dark outside, it's indeed lunch break and they went to have lunch."

The smell of antiseptics filled the spacious interior of the autopsy room. The vampire who emerged from behind the brown-stained curtain was still wearing the brown robe he often wore.

This was the official attire of the coroners, as was the clerical robe of the Augustan priests. I haven't seen him for more than a month, and Mr. Ptolemy Albert has not changed much. He nodded to Shade and motioned for him to wait a moment:

"But for people like us who work underground without windows all year round, the weather outside actually doesn't mean much."

He took off his bloody gloves and placed them on the armrest of the trolley stacked with "surgical" equipment:

"So the showdown in Vista Glades is about to begin, right?"

The pale man looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he felt an indescribable sense of decadence when he asked this question:

"It looks like I have to take a day or two off. I'm not complaining, but I didn't break my attendance record during the Battle of Moon Bay, and it seems I will break it more often in the future. It doesn't matter, after all, it's better than a thousand consecutive days. The attendance record is more meaningful than saving the world.”

But Shade originally just wanted to borrow the sword:

"Mr. Albert, are you going to Vista Grove too? I mean, aren't you sealed now?"

The coroner nodded:

"Yes, and it is not easy to break free from the petrified seal. After all, it was originally a ritual of self-sacrifice from the ancient Earth sect. But the good news is that after research and hard work throughout the autumn, I found that although my body cannot But I can temporarily regain my strength through some special methods."

He pointed to himself:

"Now I am only in the incarnation state, and the real body is in the petrified state. But the stone is not immovable. Some time ago, Bernhardt sent me several ancient scrolls collected by the clan from Willendale City, so I mastered the control. The method of stone statues.”

"Manipulating stone statues? Do you mean the thaumaturgy of the transformation school such as 'Stone Deployment'? Do you want to use your own body as a summoned object?"

Shade guessed, but the serious vampire shook his head:

"It's better than you think. I can temporarily attach this incarnation to the stone statue of my body. Although it is a bit boastful to say this, it is indeed the inspiration given to me by the gods.

In short, I can briefly turn my consciousness and soul into light particles, return to the stone body used for fighting, and then control that body to transform into a dragon to fight. However, this behavior has limitations, so I can continue to fight. It won't be long. "
