Chapter 3319: Branch of Destiny
Since Carina didn't answer, Shad thought about waiting until the afternoon tea party was over and asking Tifa what happened just now. But Carina didn't give Shad a chance to ask the maid. After the tea party, she sent him back home and left directly, not even giving Shad time to discuss the matter of the Harlequin Troupe with her.
"I'll tell you tonight what happened after you went to the bathroom. Although it's not a big deal, I apologize in advance. You can't ignore me! I'll apologize tonight, and you can't stop me from staying at home!"
So Shad became more suspicious, but after returning home, he met Dorothy, a writer who happened to be going to Middleburg, and she was discussing the issue of space power with Grace and Helen. After listening to Shad's story, Leisia, who was most familiar with Carina, gave her opinion:
"She has done something bad!"
Her Royal Highness borrowed the writer's face to make an indignant expression:
"She did something bad and didn't tell you. What's the point of apologizing? I'll come to your place tonight too. I want to see what she has to say."
But it was obvious that Lecia just wanted to watch the fun, and Shade didn't think it was a big deal.
It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and considering that Emilia still had two hours before get out of class ended, Shad went to Middlesbrough with Dorothy. Grace and Helen did not participate in the "activity" on the night of the year-end festival, and Shad felt that he had neglected the two sisters recently.
Since he had time to visit them today, Xia De made an appointment with the two sisters to come to his house to "play" tomorrow night. Grace in the white dress was very satisfied with this arrangement, while Helen held Xia De's hand and "complained" a little:
"Sir, we thought you were so focused on the beautiful witch ladies that you forgot about us."
Dorothy covered her mouth and smiled, not helping. Grace was a little dissatisfied with her sister's words. After all, Shade didn't hang out with the witches all day long. They had already learned from Grandma Cassandra that the prelude to "destiny" had begun.
But Xia De has always been nice to the girls around him:
"It's my fault this time. I absorbed the power of the ancient Titan in the past few days. I won't save my energy tomorrow night."
Grace and Helen blushed immediately. In fact, among all the ladies who had maintained an intimate relationship with Shade, they were the ones with the best physical qualities. They were already standing on the dividing line between the angel level and the unknown level, and their bodies were stronger than the newly promoted demigod Bryony.
So the two sisters did a lot of things with Shad that other girls couldn't do. And because they didn't participate in "group activities" with other girls - mainly because the other girls were afraid of them, so what Grace and Helen did with Shad was really only known to the three of them.
Dorothy, who was eavesdropping on the conversation this time, also sensed something was going on. She looked suspiciously at the two sisters holding Shad's hands, and suspected that Lesia was not the boldest one.
Dorothy visited the two sisters to ask about the knowledge of space. Shade stayed with them until five o'clock before leaving. Dorothy planned to have dinner with Granny Cassandra and the others. She was not in a hurry to return to Tobesk City. After all, Leicia said she was going to St. Teresa's Square tonight. It didn't matter whether the writer or the princess was there.
When Shade arrived at the college library in the evening, the elf had not finished her get out of class yet. Shade waited for Danister for a while and chatted with the "Red Moon Witch" about what he saw and heard in the afternoon.
"The academy has also heard about the mermaid incident. But after all, it involves an unknown level, so the news is only circulated among the professors who specialize in this matter."
The Academy was not completely ignorant of the reappearance of Desire, but because of her relationship with Shade, Danister actually knew the most. The humans of the Sixth Era actually had no way to deal with this powerful, self-aware, unknowable relic. After all, the Thirteen Rings could fight against angel-level relics like the Sword Heir Nest, but they certainly couldn't beat Desire.
The best way to resolve "desire" is actually to wait for the other party to do something excessive, forcing the Church of the Five Gods to seek help from the gods, and then use the power of the righteous gods to seal it.
But before the mermaid was so confused that she did this, the intelligent life forms could only resist it slowly and secretly. "Desire" is one of the basic factors that make up the soul of intelligent life forms. Even Shade cannot be immune to its invasion. The [Witch's Pleasure] and [Hungry Kiss] that he currently possesses are the best proof.
"The Harlequin Troupe? Did you meet them?"
The well-informed administrator also knew about this ring wizard organization:
"The academy's positioning of this ring wizard group is also very vague. If the Prophet Association is neutral and kind, and the Witch Council is neutral and chaotic, then this organization is almost absolutely neutral.
They do a lot of good things, but they also do some inexplicable bad things, or things that don't make sense. They believe that they are acting as a clown in a marginal role in a grand drama with the world as its stage, and everything they do is an indispensable part of this drama. "
"This already sounds like the introduction of an illegal organization. Speaking of which, since they want to be clowns, where did they get their scripts? It can't be that everyone in the [Clown Troupe] is hysterical and thinks that whatever they do is right, right?"
Danister smiled with her lips pursed:
"Hold on."
She stretched out her hand, and a few seconds later a book flew over from a distance and fell into her hand. "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Theater Organizations: Characters on the Great Stage", the book was bound in a very old way, and the text on it was actually Elvish.
Danister handed the book to Shad and told him the approximate page number:
"Most of these ancient theater organizations are related to the ancient [Cult of Fate], or they are branches of the Ancient God Cult. The ancient god of fate, Mr. Huan, is also the god of drama, but compared to his power to control fate, people don't know much about him."
"Is he from the same origin as the [Prophet Association]?"
"It can be said that the Harlequin Troupe is one of the few existing troupes that can be clearly proven to be a branch of the ancient Fate Cult. In fact, when I first met Vanessa, I asked her whether the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe was related to fate. Later I found out that it was just a coincidence."
She smiled and picked up the teacup:
"As for the script of the Harlequin Troupe, the academy believes that they have some powerful artifact left by the ancient gods, or some powerful relic of destiny, to guide them to complete tasks that seem unrelated but are actually interconnected - they believe that they are performing for Mr. Huan under the stage.
Even if the audience has left, the performer can’t stop, because the audience may come back at any time, right? "
"Can I borrow this book?"
Xia De asked, pulling out the "Joker Card" as a bookmark, and the charming administrator smiled and joked:
"Xia De, even if you want to borrow a book, you have to register."
"So should I go to the library front desk to register, or should I come here with you?"
She waved to Xia De, asking him to come closer, and his face was reflected in her rose-red eyes:
"You can do it with me. First, you need to stamp it in the right place. No, definitely not on the side. Really, then let me teach you the technique of stamping."
Emilia, carrying her schoolbag and her small medical box, appeared in the center of the library at 5:20. She was breathing heavily, but when she saw Shade, she waved happily:
"Good afternoon, Shade. Good afternoon, Miss Danister."
"Emilia, do you need a break? You have a day of classes and you can go to Fatu in the evening."
"No problem, I don't need a break!"
Now that she had the chance to leave the academy and go somewhere else, and even play with new unicorns, Emilia certainly wouldn't give it up.
"What about homework? It will take up your time, right?"
Xia De asked again with some concern, and Emilia shook her head again:
"No problem. Recently I have mastered the technique of speeding up my time. I can finish a half-hour assignment in just five minutes."
After saying this, she looked at Danister pitifully:
"Professor, Shade is going to attend a banquet tonight. Can you take me back after his banquet is over?"
The administrator, whose lipstick had already disappeared, did not embarrass her:
"Okay, but you have to listen to Shade. Your coronation ceremony will only take place once a suitable location is determined. Don't let anything else happen at this time."
Amelia hasn't had dinner yet, but Kyle Todd will definitely not be missing her dinner in town.
She was in a very good mood and followed Shade to the top of the snow mountain again. When she walked out of the ruins beside the high tower, looking at the sky full of stars, Emilia smiled and wanted to open her arms to embrace the night sky, but she saw Shade looking left and right.
"What's wrong?"
"I learned the secret technique of detecting the First Fire in the past, but I forgot to use it when I came here yesterday. This is a secret technique with active effects. Yes, one of the remaining three flames of the First Fire is on this island."
"So what's the exact location?"
Xia De frowned and shook his head. The feeling at this moment was very similar to that in the Tombstone Wasteland yesterday morning. He could feel that the First Fire was not far from here, but he could not know its exact location.
Shade and Sister Beren discussed this situation, which means that there are powerful rituals around the flame that resist perception, or that the flame is hidden in some kind of container with powerful interference - such as the body of the Giant King.
