Chapter 3144 Burning Fuse
"The material of my life rings has also started to change. Emilia's has turned into emerald green, and the doctor's has turned into fiery obsidian. So now it's the era of 'only those whose life rings change material are eligible to participate in battle', right?"
He smiled in his heart and said words that only he could understand. He raised his hand and touched his right ear and left ear respectively. After confirming that the earrings were not on his ears, he lowered his head to look at his own shadow on the ground with a feeling.
The shadow was formed by the moonlight. There was nothing wrong with the black shadow itself, but there was a silver light on the right ear of the shadow. In other words, the right ear of Shade's shadow was wearing the [Moon Tear].
"That's good, it's better than me wearing it myself."
He sighed slightly:
"Pretty, isn't it?"
No one paid any attention to him.
"Well, what kind of improvement did I get?"
[Outsider, you have absorbed the spirit of the ancient moon god.]
[Spell - Moonfire, sublimated into Thaumaturgy - Moonfire. In addition to the original characteristics, you can attack by emitting Moonfire, which cannot be completely defended by any means. Corresponding to the [Silver Moon] spirit rune.]
[Stranger, the fragments of the original moon have merged into your soul. Your constant blessing, the blessing of the moon of life, has gained new features: you have immortality under the moon; the total amount and recovery speed of your spirit have been improved. ]
That is to say, although [Moon Tears] was not worn on Shade's ears, he still obtained the corresponding characteristics.
"Can this 'Under the Moon' be triggered by my 'Moon Shadow'?"
[Yes, but divine power ignores immortality. ]
That's why Shade thought this trait was useless at first. When he wasn't facing gods, because of his "false immortality", he didn't think he would be killed in one blow; when facing gods, this immortality was useless.
"So [Moon Tears] has completely merged with me and I can't take it out anymore, right?"
He asked again, and this time answered in the affirmative:
[Yes, the fragments of the original moon have become part of your soul. However, you can freely control whether the moon tears in the shadow appear. ]
Xia De looked down at his shadow again, and soon found a way to make the earrings on the shadow's ears disappear. At this time, the characteristics granted by [Moon Tears] were still there, and the "Moon Fire" that had been promoted had not changed.
Xia De then understood the significance of [Moon Tears] to himself, and thought of his own Moon Fire, so he tried to raise his right index finger and point forward.
Silver light burst out from the fingertips, flew straight forward from the side of the cliff, and left a bright silver line that lingered for a long time in the night sky.
"Moonfire finally has offensive power. In addition to [Moonlight Slash] and [Moonlight Wheel], I now have a third Moonlight series of attacks."
The power of this move could be tested later. At this moment, facing the valley scenery in the long night, he sighed again and finally asked in his heart:
"How should I choose my high-level sublimation words?"
"She" smiled softly:
【Next, fate will give the answer. 】
The temperature in Tobesk dropped even more sharply on Tuesday. When Shad nearly slipped on the steps at the door while going out to get milk on Tuesday morning, and then found that the steam pipe on the outer wall of his house was frozen and cracked, he realized how much colder November this year was than last year.
Afterwards, Shade consulted his neighbor about the steam pipe maintenance management regulations, and then sent a maintenance application to the steam company that owned St. Teresa's Square. It didn't take too long for a reply, but the reply said that Shade had to wait at least two weeks.
But the matter was actually resolved during the week, because on Wednesday morning when the maids came to No. 6 St. Teresa's Square to restock the kitchen, they discovered icicles hanging on the outer wall, so the Steam Company sent someone to repair it at noon that day.
The pot-bellied manager even came to the door in person. When the workers were working on the outer wall on the ladder, he wiped the sweat off his face even though it was winter, apologized to Xia De, and tried to leave a check as an apology.
Of course, Shad didn't keep the check, but he was kind enough to ask the workers to help repair the pipes at the Smiths' house next door, and he received freshly baked cookies from his neighbors the next day.
This week's gift, which Xia De only remembered on Tuesday, was no longer a surprise like last week's [Eternal Youth Leaves]. It was just an ordinary white silk scarf, and Xia De didn't even know who to give it to. The girls purchased their own personal belongings and would not use such things of unknown origin.
So Shade tried to tie the scarf around Mia's tail, which caused the cat to hide from Shade all day on Tuesday. It was not until Shade called it out for dinner that it jumped down the stairs with a reserved cat step.
"But this week's task is to clean the dining table myself, so I have to eat at home at least one day this week."
This winter after the adventure, Shad found himself suddenly with nothing to do.
He looked forward to sharing his improvement with Danister, but that took only a morning of testing and training;
He was looking forward to snow in Tobesk, as the snowy scene in the city was somewhat different from that in the woodlands, but unfortunately the snowflakes, like the traveling knight lovers in the story, were slow to arrive;
He was looking forward to having clients come to him and tell him some magical or ordinary stories, but unfortunately, in this dry and cold winter, even fewer people were going out to have affairs.
So the home-based detective spent the whole day reading and studying, and occasionally went to Vista Woods to visit Flora and the others who were handling follow-up matters.
However, when Shad was reading the newspaper on Thursday morning, he indeed saw the follow-up to what Margaret said: "The father would attribute the death of his illegitimate daughter to murder by MI6."
The truth of the accident had long been unknown with the death of the two suspects. Even if Shad asked Father Augustus to help him channel the spirits of the MI6 agents and the Gray Glove agents for questioning, the answers he obtained would not convince everyone.
Almost all the mainstream newspapers in Carsenrick unanimously condemned the Kingdom of Delarion on Thursday morning, accusing the Northern spies of the planned, shameless and immoral murder of members of the Angevin royal family.
The news reports included evidence and a full report of the investigation, some of which came directly from declassified Gray Glove documents and private diaries of deceased agents.
The Angevin royal family did not make a public statement on the matter in the newspapers, but since the newspapers published it so uniformly, there must be royal instructions. Shad guessed that "Lion Ryan" probably wanted to let public opinion ferment for a few more days, and then use the surging public opinion to publicly condemn the North Kingdom and the Cavendish family.
The food problem since this winter has caused many problems in both countries, and the "death of the royal illegitimate daughter" will probably become an extremely dangerous signal.
Of course, newspapers in Delarion would not reprint the news of the "death of an illegitimate daughter". MI6 should have received the news in advance. There is no report on this matter in the local newspapers or public response from the North Country.
The newspaper in Shad's hand was the one he bought in Vesta City early in the morning before he, Grace and Helen returned home from the Moon Sanctuary.
He read the report in the newspaper with great interest. Grace sat beside him. Her little vagina blew the rice porridge in the spoon and then brought it to Xia De's mouth:
"Sir~"
The girl in the white gauze dress said something that would not let Xia De refuse, so Xia De had no choice but to open his mouth and drink the food that Grace handed over:
"Since this spring, newspapers have been predicting that the war will begin this winter. Although minor frictions on the north-south border have not stopped since the fall, I thought we could barely get through this winter. Now it seems that the Kingdom of Carsenrick has stood on a high moral ground, and they have a legitimate reason to declare war."
Although no one knows whether this reason is true or not, as long as people who are already dissatisfied with their lives believe it to be true, then those damn foreigners are the culprits.
"Sir, war is the most important component of civilization. Although it may sound cruel, war also promotes the progress of civilization."
Grace, who was older than everyone in the neighborhood combined, said, this time she brought the spoon to her mouth, then reached for the fragrant bread in the basket, tore it in two, and the orange jam in the middle immediately flowed out:
"Sir, do you want to stop this war?"
"War is not the goal, it is only the result. Even if I prevent the result, other bad things will happen. The conflict between Carsenrick and Delarion has continued since the end of the last full-scale war between the two countries.
Unless I master the ability to hypnotize the entire world, war will break out sooner or later. The dispute over the border, the opening of the Pantanal trade route, the distribution of benefits in the New World, the jurisdiction and trade rights of the offshore islands, the commercial competition between the two countries, the accusation that the neighboring country plagiarized the country's technology patents, not to mention the national hatred and family feuds that continued from the last war. "
Xia De shuddered:
"So Miss Bettany's death is just an excuse to start a war. Let's start a war. Only by fighting can we have a chance to completely resolve the conflict and unite the Old Continent."
The stranger hated war, but he believed that no matter what direction fate pointed out for mankind, the war that was about to take place between 1854 and 1855 was inevitable.
Countless necessities are pieced together into coincidences. Before the stranger appeared, there were already too many necessities.
He reached out to take the bread handed to him by Grace, but suddenly he shuddered again and the bread almost hit Mia's back.
So Grace lifted the tablecloth covering her legs with some displeasure and gently rubbed her sister's arm with her little leather shoes:
"Helen, can you please pay attention? My husband and I are chatting. You must have done this on purpose."
