Chapter 224 Second Road Sign

When Shade opened his eyes on Monday morning, he first heard It was the sound of rain beating against the bedroom window, and I was still reminiscing about the banquet last night, as if my nose could still smell the perfume on the girls' hair.

Probably because of the dances at the banquet, he had a strange dream last night.

At the beginning of the dream, in the background sound of the melodious saxophone, he was playing Rhodes with people who couldn't see his appearance. Then Miss Beas got out of Shade's deck of cards, picked up Shade's entire deck, and danced with him in the rain of cards falling from the sky like snowflakes. But the girl with beautiful long brown hair who was dancing and dancing suddenly changed into Mia.

It's not Miss Mia San Gold, who has yet to meet, but the lazy and timid Mia cat.

Shade, realizing that he was dancing with a giant cat, was severely frightened in his dream. Then, because of the grotesque reality, I immediately realized that I was in a dream.

After realizing this, he returned to the familiar ridge in his dream and looked up at the huge silver moon disk above his head.

Because the experience in the dream is so exciting, I still have a headache when I wake up.

Sit up out of bed, pack up, and plan a new day. The cat lying beside the pillow was awakened by Shade's movement of getting up, and the small cat sprang up and glanced around for a while, then jumped onto the quilt.

The two front paws are stretched forward, the front half of the body is pressed down, and the back half of the body is lifted up, making a posture of stretching. Then he meows at Shade and walks up and down the quilt, looking like he wants Shade to get his breakfast ready as soon as possible:
"Good morning, Mia."

Then I immediately thought of it Last night's strange dream:
"As expected, you are the cutest in maintaining this shape."

He sighed.

“Meow?”

The cat is rubbing the back of Shade's hand with its little head.

Summer itself is the rainy season for the city of Tobeysk. The foggy capital in the north of the old continent is affected by the cold air blowing from the extreme north all the year round. The mountain range blocks, allowing warm air from the ocean to reach the inland areas unimpeded, where it meets the northern cold current over Tobeysk, resulting in the local monsoon climate with rainy summers.

After breakfast, Shade read the newspaper for a while. Seeing that the rain was not stopping at all, he took Mia and went out with an umbrella.

This orange cat rarely leaves the house on rainy days, staying tucked into Shade's arms throughout the trip.

When Shade knocked on the door of Quill Street and was led by Miss Luyisa to her apartment, the cat relaxed a little and glanced around at the slightly unfamiliar environment.

"Mr. Knight came to see me so early, what's the matter?"

Because it's raining today, Miss Luisa has no plans to go out. Dressed in home clothes, she hosted Shade in the living room. The first sentence he said was a joke. Shade saw that the newspaper on the coffee table had been turned to the second page, and it was a photo of him when he was awarded the medal.

The photo was not very clear due to the limitations of printing and photographic technology. As long as Shade isn't walking around in this outfit, it's basically impossible for strangers to recognize Shade just by the pictures in the newspaper.

And the king in the photo really looks taller than Shade.

"Do I need to congratulate you? Although the Knight class has disappeared for hundreds of years and people don't think of Knights as nobles anymore, it also represents a big step for you."

>

asked the blonde girl as she prepared tea for Shade.

"It's me who needs to thank you, Miss Luisa, I heard from Miss Carina, it's Lecia Princess."

"She just thanked you for saving Her mother."

Miss Luisa said, and then made eye contact with the cat that Shade was holding. The small orange cat immediately let out a soft bark twice, which is what animals do to intimidate the enemy.

Shade then started the business:
"I didn't come here specially to thank you, I want to ask you for help with something, it's really sorry to say of which."

He will The cat he was holding was placed on the armrest of the sofa, and the orange cat meowed uncomfortably, wagging its tail and slapped Shade's arm, Shade looked at the cat and said to Miss Luyisa, who had already sat down opposite him:
"I'm going on a trip today, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. It might be right away, or it might take a day or two."

Shade doesn't know what the Ancient God statue in the basement is. Whether there is a waiting time for teleportation, but because of the divination of "Demon Hong Yue Woman", he thinks that even if there is an interval between the use of the statue, it will not be too long.

"So, I want you to help me take care of the cat for a while. Of course, it's okay if you don't have time," Augustus priest said, and the nuns at the Church of Dawn can help take care of it too, but After all, you are more reliable."

Said, reaching out and stroking Mia Cat's head, the orange cat squatted there and squinted to accept the beating.

"Take care of this cat for a while? Of course it's fine."

Miss Luyesha thought about the nodded and said casually:
"This is not a major event. , but you have to come back as soon as possible, knowing that you probably won't tell me your destination, but you may be in danger, right?"

"Of course, there is danger in doing anything."

Having said that, Shade took out another yellow envelope and put it on the coffee table:
"The envelope is the cost of taking care of Mia, don't refuse, I also received the client's money to take care of it. Yes."

Miss Luyesha didn't care about the money, she looked at the detective who sighed at the cat:

"Shade, if there is any danger, remember to come and find him. I'll help."

"Of course. I'll be back as soon as possible, don't worry about me."

He touched Mia's head with some reluctance, and stood up to leave. The orange cat noticed that Shade was leaving, and immediately picked up his clothes for him to hug.

But this time Shade didn't pick up the cat:
"Mia, I'll be back soon, can you stay here for a while?"

Mia sure is It doesn't understand human words, but it probably understands that Shade doesn't intend to take it away. When Shade left Miss Luisa's apartment, the orange cat was held in the arms of the blond writer, and looked at Shade pitifully as she walked away with an umbrella.

"Meow~"

The grievances could be heard far away in the sound of the rain, Miss Luysha laughed while hugging the orange cat, while Shade supported her. Holding the umbrella, he turned around and glanced again, waved at a man and a cat, and then he really left.

After finding someone to take care of Mia temporarily, Shade officially begins the plan to go out. Because I don't know where I will go, for safety, I must first organize my [relics] and choose the right one to carry on my body.

[count Left Eye] and [Another Face] are definitely to be kept at home, while [Gun of Kindness] [Pirate's Blood Money] [Twenty-Sided Dice of Destiny] are brought in body. As for the piece of paper that could be linked to the Academy, Shade thought about it and brought it with him for emergencies.

In addition to the above items, the bag of frog legs that has not been used up and the brooch with the holy symbol of Sun God are also very important. As for the Rhodes card, Shade thought about it and decided to bring the cards too.

The above items are all packed in a suitcase, apart from this, he also prepared an additional umbrella, a very strong hemp rope and a few sharp table knives, matches, candles and a Whole bacon.

Seeing that the box has not been filled, I stuffed warm clothes into it again, and then I felt relieved.

It's ten o'clock in the morning. Lock the downstairs door from the inside, then go through the small door behind the stairs and into the basement.

The ring of life appears, making hidden walls disappear. After entering the circular area, take out the white stone crystal from the small box placed by the wall.

He took a deep breath to adjust himself, then approached the statue of the two-headed man and reached out to touch the statue:
"May the primordial crack bless me in the infinite space."

The thick fog of white came immediately, wrapping Shade in it. He entered the world wrapped in white mist again, and then heard the whispering voice in his ear as he wished:

[Outlander, you have stepped into the 'space labyrinth'. ]

[Message from Ancient God "Original Crack":]

[Existing space road signs: 1. ]

"Sacrifice this white stone crystal."

Without thinking, Shade immediately lifted the white spar in his hand upwards. The tone barely fell , and it disappeared into Shade's hands silently, as if it had melted into the thick fog.

With the disappearance of the white stone crystals, there is still only a wooden street sign representing "Sint Deland Square" on the path in front of you.

[New information has been obtained, new spatial landmarks can be searched, please select a direction. ]

"Direction?"

Shade stood in the fog and thought for a while:
"Can you only choose the direction? Can you choose the distance?"

[Information from this space: You can only vaguely specify the direction, and then here you can connect to another random Ancient God 'primordial rift' statue. ]

He wasn't worried about running into another statue user, but was worried about another thing:

"Academy forbids ring warlocks to set foot on new continents, if I accidentally run into What about the new continent?"

[The next Ancient God statue linked at will, the closer the distance, the higher the probability. The probability that you go to seabed is greater than the probability that you enter the new continent. ]

"Okay, West."

Shade said casually, in fact East, West, North, and South made no difference to him, all he wanted was to try , what role can be played here.

【Ancient God -The original rift, accepted your sacrifice. ]

[Randomly linking space signposts. ]

[The link is successful, the existing space road sign: 2. ]

A new road sign suddenly appeared on the path in the white fog, still the same dilapidated shape that seemed to have been destroyed by time for a hundred years, and the arrow on the road sign pointed to the west.

Shade walked over quickly, stood there with the suitcase and waited, making sure nothing else happened, before reaching out and touching the new sign.

[The Primordial Crack will guide you. ]

The surrounding white fog dissipated.

PS: Why don't you guess where Shade went. It should be a good guess, after all, it has been paved for so long.
