"This"
Facing the nun's question, Shade originally wanted to say that he could do it on the outside of his right arm like the other witches, but somehow he suddenly thought of the nun's white eyelids under the eye patch. As soon as this thought came to him, Shade actually felt a strong sense of betrayal and guilt, even a sense of blasphemy.
Even if he thought that the brand would be hidden under the mithril eye mask, when the nun carefully lifted the eye mask, his right or left eye would glow with his eyes closed, he would
【Pay attention to maintaining your demeanor.】
"She", who had been chuckling since just now, finally couldn't help but remind him, so Shad quickly put those distracting thoughts behind him, and then found that as long as the nun and the silver eye mask were still in front of him, he could not completely forget the thought just now.
Seeing that Shade was slow to give an answer, Sister Defulin asked:
"Can I choose where the branding is?"
The sound is still ethereal, calm, and very pleasant to listen to.
"of course can."
Xia De breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was thinking hard in his mind whether to follow tradition or follow his heart.
Then, he saw Sister Defulin turn her head slightly away from his sight again, then raised her hands, lowered her head and took off the blindfold. At this moment, he held his breath, and when the nun with a slightly red face turned her head to face him, Shad could no longer remember the last time the nun let him see without the blindfold.
The mithril eye mask makes Sister Defulyn look mysterious and aloof besides her coldness. When she takes off the eye mask, Sister Defulyn looks like a quiet, introverted and fragile girl.
It was difficult for Xia De to describe his amazement at this moment, but he still remembered the topic at that time:
"Sister, you mean..."
Sister Defulin had her eyes closed at this time, but when she heard Shade's question, her left eye opened. The pure white eyeball "gazed" at him, and he immediately felt like he was being spied on, but it wasn't very serious.
Shade held his breath, and Sister Defulin pointed to her pure white eyeballs:
"Please place the mark here, hero of the fire."
The "she" beside his ear continued to laugh, and Xia De tried to make his tone calmer:
"Although the 'Eternal Fire Seal' does not rely on damaging the skin to leave a mark, it is still a mark after all. Will this not affect your eyesight?"
The nun shook her head gently. The mithril eye mask was lying on the table beside her, shining brightly in the morning sun. Without the restraint of the eye mask, the nun's gray hair became more messy as she shook her head, even covering the side of her face. The cat watching this scene walked to the middle of the eye mask and lay down for a while, continuing to enjoy this boring morning drama.
"The eyes are only the appearance, the soul is the reality."
"Okay, here I come."
He raised his right hand again, the pure moon fire on his index finger was already burning. Then Shade noticed that his right hand was trembling slightly, so he immediately controlled his hand and brought it in front of the nun's open eyes.
The two were originally standing very close to each other, and as he moved closer, more details of Sister Defulin's face came into view without the blindfold. At this moment, the stranger felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity. It was clearly an early morning when he had nothing to do after breakfast, but at this moment, he was facing Sister Defulin who had taken off her blindfold, and the nun was "looking" at him with one eye open and one eye closed.
Every element in this scene was sound, but Shade clearly felt that if there was a third person present, neither he nor the cold nun in front of him would have gone to this point.
"Meow~"
The cat squatting in the eye mask meowed softly, reminding Shad that it was still there.
After a slight pause, the fingers continued to move forward, and the fingertips burning with pure silver flames successfully touched Sister Defulin's eyeball. The feeling was still difficult to describe. Shad could only say that he clearly felt that the eyeball that his fingers touched was wet and fragile, and it was slightly wriggling.
The magic was performed very smoothly, and when Shad took his fingers away, the burning silver crescent was clearly imprinted in Sister Defulin's eyes.
In other words, the length of the silver crescent mark far exceeded the length of Sister Develyn's left eye. The crescent mark was actually branded in her eyeball and on her skin, but it did not exceed the range covered by the eye patch.
When the crescent mark shone, it was as if Sister Defulin's entire left eye was glowing, but it was also as if a bright silver tattoo had appeared on her left fair cheek. So the nun closed her left eye and stopped looking at Shade, and the bright silver crescent mark really ran through her entire left eye.
The "normal" right eye opened and "looked" at Shade, and the pure white eye was actually faintly shining with the luster of the silver moon. When the nun's left eye was "staring" at him just now, he didn't feel that he was looking at her, but now that his left cheek was glowing and his right eye was silver, for the first time since he met Sister Defulin, Shade felt that he was really looking at her.
He could see the nun's inner thoughts from those eyes, and could see the strength and loneliness beneath her calm appearance.
"Are your eyes able to see the normal world?"
Xia De asked incredulously, his right eye moved slightly as his gaze moved, and then closed like his left eye. Sister Defulin's skin was originally fair, and at this moment, under the glow of the brand on her left eye, her face looked even more delicate and quiet.
The way the "Eternal Fire Seal" manifested itself on Sister Defulin was different from that on other girls. Shad guessed that this was related to the special nature of the nun's eyes and her own uniqueness as a "Fire-wielding Nun".
"The so-called normal world is originally a relative definition."
The nun whispered:
"But I have become stronger because of this. Shade, your fire has guided me to see the deeper truth of the world. I think it won't be long before I am promoted to the thirteenth ring."
The light of the brand on the left eye finally went out after these words were uttered, but when the pure moonlight dissipated, Shade clearly saw several scar-like marks passing through the nun's left eye.
"This is."
He subconsciously raised his hand to touch the eyes of the nun in front of him, but stopped halfway. His behavior was quite rude.
The nun continued softly:
"Your flame directly affected my soul, and the changes in my soul then affected my body. This is the proof of the brand, and the manifestation of the power you bestowed upon me."
She did not say the word "stigmata", but stretched out her left hand and grabbed Shad's right hand, then pulled his right hand to touch the skin of her left eye.
When his fingers touched those "wounds", they were indeed real. However, the nun's skin felt very good to the touch, and Shade clearly felt that Sister Defulin trembled when the two touched.
"It looks like it's just a branding, there's really nothing wrong with it."
He withdrew his hand in time, so she turned around and picked up the silver eye mask with a cat squatting inside. She turned her head slightly again to avoid Xia De's sight, and put the eye mask back on, letting it bind the hanging hair beside her ears, thus covering the mark in front of her left eye.
Putting on the blindfold again seemed to be a strange sign, meaning that the somewhat private matter just now was temporarily over. "She" continued to laugh in his ear, and Xia De knew what "she" was laughing at. The tension of the matter just now was as if a girl was in front of him for the first time.
No one spoke, and the room fell silent again. This silence lasted for a long time, and finally Xia De came out of his strange thoughts and spoke:
"Sister, besides the matter of the Moon Seal, I actually have two more things I would like to ask you for help with."
"I'll help you with anything."
"It's not a difficult task. First, I want you to help me find a body. The body was from a long time ago, probably when I first arrived in Vista City. Second, I remember that you can roughly find out the date of a person's death. I want you to help me take a look at a woman. She is most likely an ordinary person."
"I will grant your wish."
The nun lowered her head slightly and spoke softly. Xia De still felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, so he also reached out and picked up Mia and put her on his shoulders:
"Let's go check out the body first. I'll go call Grace and Helen. They were there when the body was created."
The Red Butterfly sisters have not returned since they were invited to a banquet by Shade last night. Since Grandma Cassandra is not in Midhill Castle these days, they are in charge of the work of Cassandra's auction house.
Although Vanessa did not show up at the breakfast table, the two sisters who slept in the same room with Vanessa did. They sat next to Ajelina and talked and laughed with Cassandra, the mother-in-law, on the other side, making the little princess a little nervous all morning.
As for the corpse that Shad mentioned, it was the strange man who crawled out of the cupboard when he first came to Vista Grove and discovered the "First Tree Hole" cupboard in the Accordion Inn. He was planning to go back to the past through the cupboard to find Miss Danister (Chapter 2550).
At that time, because Shade didn't know the characteristics of the "tree hole", he blew the butterfly flute to find Grace and Helen for help. And the strange man with a burnt face, injured right eye, and emerald ring on his hand came out of the cabinet at that time.
The other party was proficient in the power of time, and had used time stopping, time reversing and time accelerating, but in the end he was killed by Grace and Helen while escaping in a world where time stopped.
Because the focus at that time was to find Miss Danister who had mistakenly entered the past, Shad didn't care much about the man. He just turned the man's body into a toy and continued to study the cabinet with the Red Butterfly sisters.
But last Sunday in the White Ape Canyon, something that came out of the crack leading to the doomsday era reminded Xia De of the man he came two months ago.
