Chapter 2862: Mist Crow Brotherhood
"Ajelina was caught by Leicia~"
Xia De then prayed for Ajelina in his heart, but he did not blame her. If most people really had this "invisibility" ability, they would probably find it difficult to resist the urge to look around.
Besides, he and Ajelina were not strangers, so it was nothing for Ajelina to break into his room:
"How long has Dorothy been scolding Ajelina?"
The young apprentice recalled carefully again:
"It's been half an hour. Miss Anat tried to calm down more than ten minutes ago, but she was unsuccessful."
So then Shade performed the traditional "knight saves the princess" drama. Although Leicia seemed to be still angry, she waved her hand and asked Ajelina, who had hit the cat again, to wash her hands and prepare for dinner.
She no longer looked like she was worried about Ajelina to the point of being heartbroken a few days ago. Xia De could understand Lecia's contradictory psychology, and could only say that the relationship between the sisters was really strange.
By the time of lunch, Dorothy, who had turned back into Dorothy, was no longer so angry. After Ajelina took the initiative to apologize to her at the table, the relationship between the two sisters was reconciled as before.
And Shad did not forget to hand the box of "Angel Elixir" he brought back to Carina, asking her to take the potion to Grandma Cassandra on the ship for inspection and analysis before she and Vanessa went into the forest for inspection in the afternoon. After confirming that the medicinal properties did not conflict with the power of the witches, they could distribute it to everyone.
And Shade left behind the most powerful golden potion. If the maze could be opened, many things would not be as difficult as they seemed.
"So, where did you get the potion that can restore spirits?"
The witches were puzzled, but Shad did not tell them the answer. Only Luvia guessed that it was probably Priest Augustus, but of course she would not say it out loud.
On this Wednesday morning, Flora was the only witch left in the inn. The others went into the woods for investigation or wandered around the city. Even after lunch, Luvia called Flora to take her to visit the Golden Music Hall.
Miss Artist was extremely surprised by Luvia's invitation. After saying that she wanted to change her clothes before going out, she hurriedly called Miss Bell to put on makeup for her.
It can be seen that besides being surprised, she was more nervous.
Luvia didn't invite Shad because he needed to tell Emilia a story this afternoon. In order to prevent Leicia from disturbing Shad, Luvia even called Dorothy out.
Therefore, the only people who stayed in Miss Danister's room that afternoon were Shad, Emilia, Ajelina and Miss Danister. The red-haired girl could help Shad fill in the details he didn't mention, after all, she and Flora were the ones who knew Shad's schedule for the past two months best.
In order to prevent her memory from being bad, Emilia specially prepared a notebook to take notes. But before officially starting to tell the story, Shade first followed the advice of Father Augustus in the morning and said to Emilia very seriously:
"Don't turn into a tree!"
The little princess with the cat on her head could almost see a question mark appearing on the elf's head:
"Shad, what did you say?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, because I don't understand either. But remember this: I don't want you to turn into a tree, no matter what the circumstances!"
Emilia nodded in confusion, and Miss Danister gently kicked Shade with her Mary Jane shoes. The elf and the little princess didn't understand, but the librarian lady did.
In addition to "turning into a tree", before officially starting to tell the story, Shade also talked to them about the two magical skills he had just learned, namely "tea extraction" and "spiritual spring revelation".
Of the two new skills, Shad had no problem with the "tea extraction method", and Miss Wilder said she didn't mind everyone around the campfire teaching this skill to others, so when Shad had time, he could try to get the ladies around him to learn it as well.
As for the "Spiritual Spring Revelation", Xia De is currently unclear about how effective it is.
"Let's give it a try!"
The three girls all agreed to be Xia De's experimental subjects. Xia De poured the tea into the palm of his left hand, took some with his right hand, and then applied it to their eyebrows.
The red-haired girl with the strongest soul was the first to comment:
"This is a very good auxiliary magic for calming the mind. It should be very useful to help people around you resist abnormal mental influences. Oh, the effect disappeared. It turns out that this is a short-term effect."
The elf girl is in the middle ring, but because she is actually over 50 years old, her soul is stronger than the little princess:
"I was a little sleepy after lunch, but now I feel alert. I don't feel that I have become smarter, but the moment Shade cast the spell, my perception range seemed to have expanded a lot, but it was only for a moment."
Finally, it’s Ajelina, the little princess with a cat on her head who has nothing else to do:
"I felt like I suddenly became smarter. I understood a lot of things that I hadn't figured out before. It was a bit like a flash of inspiration."
After more experiments, Shade discovered that this new magic was quite effective in stabilizing the mind, but its effect in enlightening wisdom seemed random.
It is not correct to say that it is completely "random". It should be said that when someone is deeply thinking about a problem, Shade can use magic to help the other person catch a flash of inspiration. Of course, whether the problem can be solved in the end depends on whether the other person can really catch the inspiration. He only provides an opportunity.
In short, Shad stayed in the room telling stories to Emilia from 1:30 to 5:30 this Wednesday afternoon. He only got up once to go to the bathroom. But Shad's absence did not mean that other people in Vista City were also enjoying the afternoon comfort.
The witches who came to Vista City were scattered in the forest and the city, using the ancient knowledge of the Council to sense the secrets of the forest and map the direction of the mineral veins buried deep underground;
The Church of the Five Gods is making preparations based on the ritual that can seal the "Twisted Tree Hole" found from the Church of the Dawn, and is conducting confrontation training with the "Paladin" who came from the early Sixth Era.
More secrets of the city of Vesta have been revealed because of the capture of the Bronte and Kant families. The people in the city are not only uneasy because of the foreign ring sorcerers who came here because of the whispering poems, but also the sinners who know what they have done are waiting for the final judgment.
After meeting with the "Hermits of the Forest", the three major colleges collected and compiled documents from their respective libraries, combined with the surveys of local ring sorcerers, to identify and visit the remains of old shrines and temples that still exist in the forest today.
Those ancient buildings that had not been visited for thousands of years welcomed visitors again, and the three major colleges tried to repair them to understand how much effect the sealing ceremony after the ancient war could still have. Therefore, more unknown believers of the old gods came to the Vesta Forest, either actively or passively, to help repair the shrines built by their ancestors.
Of course, there was also the [Tree Hole Association] that had been defeated in the previous assassination and was now hiding in the forest, not daring to move. They did not leave this increasingly strange and mysterious forest area. The "watchmaker" who was seriously injured by the elf's sword, secretly came to the depths of the dense forest that afternoon with the predecessor who was willing to come to the current [Tree Hole Association] from the Fourth Era.
They walked along the path in the forest until they came to an open space with five chairs under a giant tree. A figure with his hands behind his back was waiting for them here, waiting for the contract from mortals who voluntarily signed up.
There are also those conspirators who secretly visited here but hid themselves, waiting for further developments, expecting new changes to appear in this story.
"Wait a moment, what is this [Mist Crow Brotherhood]?"
During dinner that day, Shad asked Vanessa who was describing the current situation at the table.
The people on the third floor would not go to the first floor of the hotel to eat, but chose a separate room on the third floor as a restaurant. Shade and the girls sat around the dining table, while the other witch followers ate at other tables nearby.
"Don't you know this?"
Flora asked in surprise, then glanced at Miss Danister. The red-haired girl shook her head casually:
"St. Byrons doesn't have a special course to teach about the current era's ring wizard groups. It was not necessary in the previous eras. The teaching plan may be reformed in the next few years to add this part of the content. It is normal for ring wizards living in the North like Shade, Miss Annat, and Miss Louisa not to know about them. After all, these people are mainly active in Carsenrick."
So Vanessa, who is from the south, introduced Shade:
"The Brotherhood of the Mist Crows is not an organization that gathers people because of beliefs, but because of ideas. To be precise, they believe that the world today is wrong and will be destroyed sooner or later, so everyone must enter another world, which is the purgatory where demons are rumored to live, to avoid the end of the world in pain and torture.
They used to be called the 'Purgatory Brotherhood', but because it was difficult to recruit people with this name, they changed it to the 'Mist Crow Brotherhood'. In other words, this group of people are devil worshipers."
Luvia, who had heard about this organization from the Prophet Association, did not forget to remind:
"They are not worshipping ancient evil spirits or demons, but worshipping alien races called 'demons'. Famous ones include fire demons and succubi. Although these alien demons are evil in nature and full of violent thoughts, they are generally not as weird and strange as those evil spirits. They can only be regarded as special alien creatures."
PS: The picture in this chapter is "Mary Jane Shoes".
Recently, when I was learning about the special names of various clothing items, I discovered that this type of shoe actually has a professional name (covering my face).
The naming of women's clothing is really complicated.
