Chapter 3334 Name and Butterfly (Additional Updates Requesting Votes)

Mr. Sargent went to the city this morning and tried to help Shad contact his good friend Mr. Mortis, but unfortunately he was not at home. So the potion merchant just left a letter for him and told Shad to wait until Mr. Mortis replied before telling him.

However, the church responded very quickly. At 4 p.m., the witch followers brought back the church's feedback. The church agreed to participate in tomorrow's operation. They did not question the details of the operation proposed by Shade, and even provided a list of members who would participate in tomorrow's operation.

The opponents this time were angel-level relics and ancient evil spirits, and the latter were likely to have other dangerous things in their hands, so the thirteenth-ring [Sun Emblem] lady would of course join the operation. In addition to her, the Dawn Church and the Sun Church had a professional "demon-killing team" of 21 people transferred from the Holy See, plus three high-ring warlocks familiar with the local situation and two high-ring fortune-tellers from the Prophet Association of Lomare City, a total of 27 people participated in the operation.

This team will be fully prepared to deal with magic swords and demons. Although the "Demon Hunting Team" does not have the complete witcher heritage like the doctors, they have many weapons of ancient hunters collected by the Five Gods Church, and they also understand some of the ancient hunters' knowledge.

Moreover, these 27 people are only the official members of this operation. Tomorrow, there will be a large number of reserve teams on the island as backup support. The church hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate the demon in one fell swoop. Even if the demon cannot be completely eliminated, it must be severely injured as much as possible.

As for the ongoing negotiations in the Wheel of Time City, the church believes that there is no need to let ordinary people evacuate for the time being. After all, the identity of the demon this time has been confirmed, and its ability to corrupt humans is not very strong.

However, because the Five Gods Church needs to prepare a response plan in case of failure, it hopes that the operation can start in the afternoon tomorrow. Emilia has no objection to this, after all, she has classes in the third and fourth periods tomorrow morning and cannot come.

"You have classes tomorrow?"

Ms. Larson, who was feeding the unicorn apples, asked the elf in surprise. She found that Ellie preferred red apples to green apples. The pointy-eared elf nodded as a matter of course:

"Tomorrow morning's class is our Chemistry College's compulsory course, Analytical Potions. Even if you ask for leave, your regular marks will be deducted."

Last year she traveled through time to so many places, and in the end she still had to take the year-end exams honestly, so Emilia thought that such a "small matter" as the devil should not delay her studies.

The white-haired girl showed a sympathetic expression, probably because she thought Emilia was pitiful.

But Shade spoke up at this time:

"Emilia, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. Don't worry about the classes. I'll ask my teacher to arrange for the class changes. The professor will understand."

Miss Danister spoke up, and Emilia was indeed going to do serious work, and the School of Chemistry would not refuse, so Emilia smiled and nodded.

Miss Rhinehart glanced at Shade:

"Is your teacher so powerful? Also, how could the church so hastily agree to your plan without knowing the exact time and location of the action? Do they have such confidence in a mysterious person like you?"

Xia De did not answer. The church should have guessed that the one who appeared that night might be the "God Summoner", but there was no evidence. The "God Summoner" had a record of fighting demons in many places, and the Five Gods Church was well aware of this.

So the cooperation at this time was just tacit understanding. Of course, it is also possible that they knew the general direction of the action through the prophets:

"Maybe the church guessed that I was a candidate for the Chosen One. You see, on an island where something big is about to happen, a very powerful ring wizard who no one knows suddenly appeared. It's normal for the church to think so."

"Although what you said makes sense, based on my understanding of the church, it is still hard to believe that they would act this way. Could it be that in the case of the Chosen Ones, the church will adopt a different approach than before?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Emilia again, and then said to Shade:

"You called me Claire last night, why did you change back today?"

But Emilia was talking to Miss Larson about why the unicorn Ellie "loves apples so deeply" and didn't pay any attention to this conversation. In fact, it wouldn't matter even if she heard it, because Shade had already called her by her name a long time ago.

"So Claire, is it okay for me to call you that?"

A blush immediately appeared on the face of the girl with platinum blonde hair:

"You just changed your name like that?"

"Then I'll still call you Miss Rhinehart?"

The witch didn't know how to answer for a moment, but thinking of the strange attitudes of Vanessa, Sylvia, and Flora, she thought it would be okay for her to take the initiative. Although she didn't know what her colleagues were planning, the snack was right in front of her, so she had no reason to back off:

"For now, please call me Miss Reinhardt. We can change the name once we find the devil. I don't know your real name yet, and it's unfair to me."

"Shad."

Shade said, and Claire Rhinehart blinked and didn't react for a moment:

".What?"

"I mean, my name is Shade."

"Shadow? That name sounds more fake than 'John'."

"No, it's real this time. My name is really Shade. But I won't tell you my last name for now."

Shade laughed, and Emilia immediately raised her hand:

"I prove that Shade's real name is indeed Shade!"

So she had actually been listening to the conversation here. Miss Reinhart pretended to be indifferent and turned to look at the unicorn instead of looking at him:

"Well, Shade. After tomorrow's matter is over, you can call me by my name. Shade, Shade. This name is really strange, and I feel like I have heard such a name somewhere before. So you think you are a hidden shadow, right?"

It's normal to have a strange name, after all, it's the transliteration of the real name of the foreigner in his hometown:

"I'm not hiding it on purpose. I've always thought of myself as the shadow of the moon."

That night, when the elf returned home with Emilia with the new snake slough, she was startled by the appearance of Grace and Helen in the house. She probably realized that her behavior was a bit impolite, so she greeted the two sisters politely, and then she did not ask to stay at Shade's house any longer, and was sent back to the academy by him.

When Xia De came back, the two sisters in black and white dresses were sitting on the short sofa facing each other, bored, controlling the chess pieces on the chessboard from a distance, while Mia was lying next to the chessboard watching the chess pieces jump around automatically. The firelight from the fireplace was warm and comforting, but it also cast the cat's shadow on the chessboard.

"Emilia asked me to apologize to you. She said she was very rude just now."

Shade embraced Helen who opened her arms to him, and then sat down with the girl in his arms. The cat was about to jump over, but when it saw the girl in the black dress curled up in Shade's arms, it meowed at Helen several times in anger.

Helen smiled apologetically at the cat, and Mia then lay down with some dissatisfaction. Sometimes she was very reasonable.

Across the coffee table, petite Grace rested her right hand on the armrest of the sofa to support her face, looking at her sister and Xia Deqin/re, while the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were still jumping:

"It doesn't matter. The child is still very polite. She is so young, so innocent, and so lively. But she doesn't seem to be aware of her identity. As the chosen one, she has no reason to be afraid of us."

Xia De smiled and sniffed the soap scent on Helen's hair, but this should not be the scent of soap, but their own smell:

"Compared to others, she is indeed too young, so she needs us to guide her. Sometimes I wonder if Emilia would grow faster without me."

Helen shook her head in Xia De's arms:

"Sir, girls would rather have a tall wall to protect themselves and keep themselves innocent, rather than face the malice and jokes of life and fate so early. She is lucky to be protected by you. The word 'growth' is too cruel for most people. I have always believed that it is actually a word with the same meaning as 'forced, tormented, crying, and parting.'"

Although they are shorter than Emilia, Grace and Helen do not have that kind of innocence. By comparison, Shade understands why they think "growing up" is a bad thing:

“I am your wall now, too.”

He promised the girls, and Helen giggled:

"Sir, you are more than a wall, you are our cage, protecting us from all sides."

"That doesn't sound good."

Grace continued to play chess with her sister and replied with a smile:

"But we think it is indeed a compliment. In this dangerous world, we are so lucky to have such a safe palm to wrap us up. So sir, when you and Emilia went upstairs just now, we heard you say that you have big plans for tomorrow? Do you need Helen and me to show up?"

Shade shook his head:

"The story of fate has begun, and I don't want to involve you for the time being."

"Are you worried that we will fall back into the cage of fate?"

Helen guessed what Shad was thinking, and Shad did not deny it:

"This is only part of the reason. Another part is that the current situation on the island is unclear. Luvia and I speculate that this ceremony of the chosen one is related to the completion of a drama. I want to wait until we know the general content of the play before letting you appear."

He stroked Helen's long, smooth black hair:

"Of course, if I really encounter danger, I will not forget to ask you for help."

The two sisters were satisfied, and the idea of ​​wanting to spend more time with Shade and play a greater role beside him was not just an idea exclusive to the witches.
