Chapter 1001: Exorcism
Although her eyes did not see it, the harsh curses and swearing sounds in her ears almost pierced her eardrums. At the same time, the huge terrifying existence perceived by her senses seemed to be slowly receding.
Princess Miss Jia Lin Na certainly couldn't understand the demon language that carried curses and malice itself, but both she and Dorothy understood the last sentence of rage:
"Just you wait!"
The hand melting in the white light of the badge wanted to slap down at the three before retreating, but the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 had already swung toward the sky:
"Silver Moon!"
A third color beyond darkness and pure white holy light erupted. The holy silver moonlight that almost blinded their eyes finally completely shattered this strange space.
The darkness receded, and the indescribable evil existence went far away. With the princess's heavy panting, she suddenly had the feeling of breaking through the water surface from underwater with great pressure. The noise entered her ears, and looking around again, everything in the Three Cats Hotel was so normal, and the bard's singing was still so soothing and tender.
Except for the fact that Victor Fanni's position was already empty, everything seemed to have not changed, and even the Victor Box on the table had disappeared, but she felt as if she had just woken up after sleeping for a long time.
The princess finally came back to her senses, groaning because of the severe headache, but she did not forget to wipe the blood flowing from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. At this time, she heard Xia De snap his fingers and ask the waiter for three cups of hot tea.
Xia De had a very good relationship with Madame Sangmei. Although it was a time when there were many guests, their tea was delivered very quickly. Xia De found holy water from his pocket—not the No. 4 holy water, but a liquid close to No. 3 holy water that Father Priest Ao Gu Si could currently make—and added two whole bottles to two cups of tea.
After stirring slightly with a teaspoon, he pushed the teacups to the two girls. Dorothy's state at this time was okay, not only because she had encountered many strange things with the group, but also because she didn't look or think much at all just now, and because the 【Red Butterfly Pendant】 she was carrying was protecting her.
Dorothy took a small sip of tea, feeling warm all over, looking at the surroundings curiously, looking like she couldn't help but want to ask Xia De questions. Princess Miss Jia Lin Na took a big sip of tea, and her pale face finally had a bit more blood color.
"It seems that the estimation this time was a bit wrong. Truly unlucky. I originally thought I could get a relic, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
Xia De's voice sounded, and he was truly very regretful:
"Sorry, truly sorry."
He expressed his apology to the two girls:
"It was I who brought you into such a dangerous environment, I will make amends. Don't worry, that thing just now was too bold, actually wanting to contact us directly. My badge and strange technique caused it some minor injuries..."
Mainly, the badge made by Father Priest Ao Gu Si using the bones of the Death Angel played a great role, and Xia De's "Light Spell" added the final blow to be effective. After all, both almost directly restrained the evil spirits and demons of the Third Era, and it wouldn't be so simple if it were other opponents.
"Was that just now really..."
Princess Miss Jia Lin Na still couldn't believe it. To her, the "evil spirits and demons" of the Third Era in legends were really just legends.
"Yes, a monster from ancient times. In a short time, in a week or two, it won't come directly to us. But don't be too relaxed. Dorothy, live at my place for this period."
Xia De held the blonde girl's hand, and Dorothy nodded with a smile. Although she knew this matter was dangerous, compared to Xia De's other experiences, it was not particularly dangerous. Dorothy knew Xia De very well, and looking at Xia De's expression, she knew that this matter was not tricky.
"Miss Mary, do you have a high-level Ringed Shushi protecting you?"
He asked softly again, and after the princess nodded slightly, he said:
"During this period, please try not to be too far away from her. To prevent accidents, I will also go to see you often during the next period, just use..."
"The excuse of learning Kansenrick language."
The girl with light blonde hair said, and only after the voice came out did she realize it was so hoarse. She held the teacup, feeling the temperature of the tea, while her peripheral vision saw Xia De and Dorothy holding hands:
"The fun level of today is truly beyond my imagination. In the capital of the human kingdom, in a lively hotel, I encountered an evil spirit of the Third Era head-on... If I say it out, no one will believe it."
Xia De did not speak and took out a small glass bottle from his pocket—the price of the holy water he purchased from Father Priest Ao Gu Si was much cheaper than the container itself. "Holy water," this special liquid, must be stored in containers made of glass, glaze, pure gold, or pure silver, and it was not easy to carry.
He placed the holy water bottle on the long bench where Victor Fanni had just sat. As the bottom of the bottle touched the surface of the wooden long bench, the transparent liquid in the bottle boiled directly.
"It is indeed that kind of thing, but it doesn't matter, I am quite familiar with them."
Xia De took back the bottle and said:
"Actually, I am not surprised by this. I have equipment left by the demon hunters of the Third Era in my hand. Encountering demons is the fate I am destined to face."
He was talking about the 【Demon Hunter Seal】 and 【Night Watcher】.
"Is this not your first time encountering those evil spirits?"
Princess Miss Jia Lin Na lowered her voice, opening her eyes slightly.
"Yes, the third time. Madam, this is nothing remarkable."
This was the truth. Compared to the doctor, Xia De's experiences were not worth mentioning.
"Please rest assured, I will solve that thing within two weeks."
Thinking in his heart that he would kill it in at most a week, the outsider would absolutely not leave such a terrifying thing by his side to spy on him and Dorothy:
"During this period, Miss Mary, you stay with the high-level Ringed Shushi around you, and I will also go to see you often."
Princess Miss Jia Lin Na pursed her lips, watching Xia De pour the holy water that was faintly emitting soft light onto the table, confirming whether this table left traces of the demon.
"Mr. Hamilton, following you for investigation was my own choice, you don't need to apologize. Today's experience is also a rare experience for a Ringed Shushi like me who is trapped in the palace... Demon."
She indeed did not have too worried an expression; on the contrary, an unnatural flush appeared on her face:
"However, do you often experience such things?"
"Of course not."
Xia De shook his head. Currently, he only found the residual power of the demon on the chair, and the table was normal:
"I am not often unlucky. This time it was an accident. I didn't expect that after finally receiving a commission, I would encounter such a thing. Drink all that tea. Close contact with that kind of thing will greatly increase the probability of losing control of yourself."
Dorothy didn't need to worry about this point. In a moment, Xia De would let the writer miss go behind the Door of Darkness in the basement to see her "dark side."
He sighed:
"That guy probably won't dare to come back. I'll find someone to go to Room 413 to look for contraband in a moment. Now let's go home with me first. I have stored a batch of holy water at home, Miss Mary, you can take some back."
"Holy water" can be stored for a long time as long as it is stored in a sealed, low-temperature environment, so Xia De stored a large batch in the basement at home for backup. Even if the effect of No. 4 holy water is relatively inconspicuous, after all, Father Priest Ao Gu Si's output is large and the price is cheap.
Dorothy recovered very quickly, writing things down in her notebook with great interest. Princess Miss Jia Lin Na looked like her spirit was still not very good. After Xia De bought the bench contaminated by the demon's power, the three took a carriage back to No. 6 St. Deran Square.
After entering Xia De's home, the princess of the Southern Kingdom clearly felt that she was better. After Xia De held the 【Night Watcher】 wrapped in cloth strips and "stabbed" the princess's eyebrows and chest with it, her complexion completely returned to normal.
Today's encounter was a bit too stimulating even for a Ringed Shushi. After holding a simple exorcism ceremony in the attic of Xia De's house, the princess left, and it was agreed that Xia De would go to find her when he had time. She was a bit curious about the so-called "demon." After all, this kind of knowledge was not something that ordinary Ringed Shushi could come into contact with.
After sending Princess Miss Jia Lin Na away, Xia De informed the writer miss that she had better live at No. 6 St. Deran Square for the next few days:
"Of course!"
Dorothy hugged the reluctant Little Mia and smiled:
"I know you can solve this matter, don't feel sorry for involving us in dangerous things. In the summer, when you just became a Ringed Shushi, I involved you in the 【Pleasant Dream Pen】 runaway event, isn't it similar to the current situation? We are all Ringed Shushi, this situation is unavoidable."
She moved closer to Xia De:
"However, my soul is connected to Lei Qianya's, will that demon hurt her?"
"I have considered this point. When watching the opera tonight, I will temporarily lend the 【Demon Hunter Seal】 to her. In this way, even if she is not by my side, she doesn't need to worry about accidents in the short term."
After all, as long as Lei Qianya doesn't run around, there are large-scale exorcism, blessing, and spirit-driving ceremonies arranged by the Church around the Yodel Palace. The security level of the Yodel Palace is second only to the churches of the five Orthodox Gods in Tobesk.
Hearing "opera," the writer miss showed a smile:
"Aren't you still going to clean up Room 413 of the Three Cats Hotel? You go get busy first, no need to accompany me back to Feather Pen Street to pack clothes. I want to tell the landlady that I will live outside for a few days, I hope she doesn't think I am a bad girl."
"You take the Night Watcher with you."
"Yes, yes, truly cautious."
Dorothy said, and then lowered her voice slightly:
"Remember to come back early after you finish your business. I have picked out clothes for you. You take a shower before going to accompany Lei Qianya to watch the opera. She is looking forward to tonight. After all, she rarely has the opportunity to go out alone with you using her own body."
After saying that, she added another sentence:
"She picked out a four-hour-long opera this time."
Xia De thought for a moment and asked a question in her ear. The writer miss blushed and shook her head:
"Tonight is Lei Qianya's time, I won't disturb, you... have fun." ===== CHAPTER 1004 =====
