Chapter 3017 Broken Stars

"This is easy to handle. Just take this. When you need me, find a corpse and bury this in its chest. I can remotely control that corpse."

What Priest August gave Shade was a small piece of pale bone, but it probably wasn't the remains of the angel that Shade had found. As for the priest's method, although it doesn't sound like what a positive character should use, when Shade first joined the group, Dr. Schneider said that Rat August was good at undead thaumaturgy.

If Shade remembered correctly, the priest himself said that he was very skilled in the "corpse explosion technique".

After discussing the plan with Priest August, Shade purchased a batch of magic potions from him as important supplies for the upcoming battle of Vista Woodland, and then continued to take little Mia to Dr. Schneider in the east of the city. psychological clinic.

He got off the carriage and looked up to see lights on in every window of the psychology clinic. He was originally worried that the doctor was currently receiving patients. Fortunately, after informing the maid at the front desk, the doctor appeared quickly:

"Let's go, let's go to the reception room on the second floor."

"Are there no patients now?"

"Of course, I am a busy man. But the patient has just been hypnotized by me, so I have an hour now. I know what you are thinking now without looking back."

The doctor led Shade up the stairs:

"It's a patient with insomnia. Although I do charge based on time, I don't use hypnotherapy for all patients."

Shade, who was holding the cat, asked curiously:

“But does insomnia also fall within the scope of diagnosis and treatment in psychological clinics?”

"Detective, in theory, as long as people are willing to pay, I can treat any disease."

After sitting down in the familiar reception room, Shade told again what he had just told Priest August. After the doctor listened carefully, the first thing he sighed was not that the war was coming:

"So everyone should be able to come back next week, right? You know, I'm really not used to you not coming to my place for meetings every Saturday. The old priest came last Saturday, but he brought A bottle of wine, the two of us drank and talked all afternoon. I hope everyone still remembers what happened during the exam week around the end of the year. There are still one and a half months left, even if you are busy saving the world, you can't. Forget annual exams.”

He smiled and joked, and Shade also laughed:

"If things go well, the group meeting can proceed normally next Saturday. Then you can supervise everyone's review progress."

When Shade said this, he felt like normal life was about to return again:

"So doctor, how is your recovery now? Can you help?"

The doctor nodded:

"No problem. The power of demons and hunters has reached a basic balance, and I have adapted to the current state of the Ten Rings. However, yesterday I heard from Old John about the big event in the Vista Woodland two days ago. , you can smash the moon with one blow, do you still need my help now?"

"Are you talking about that thing about the Crazy Moon? I also saw that Old John wrote to my house and asked me to visit him when I have time. I will go there in a while."

Shade sighed and touched the cat. The cat was very happy:

"That was not my normal state. It was the moon that gave me abnormal power. Besides me, there were also three thirteen-ring warlocks present at that time."

If possible, Shade would also like to recreate the situation that night. The power of that blow even surpassed that of a normal demigod blow. But unfortunately after the Mad Moon subsided, neither Shade nor the three ladies who cast spells on his palm could ever regain their previous state.

Although if the "Moon of Madness" appears again, they might be able to do it again. But to cause another disaster in order to stop the Ancient One is a bit too exaggerated. Shade planned to discuss it with Miss Olanold after he went back. Even if he couldn't completely restore the blow, it would be a good thing to restore it to five or six points.

He has another chance to summon the projection of Ms. Helena Carter, and then the three thirteen-ring sorceresses can gather together again.

In short, the doctor can now go to Vista Grove to help, but Shade does not intend to let the doctor participate in the affairs of the city, nor does he intend to let him help guard the city:

"Nothing may happen tomorrow night, doctor. You will be waiting for us in the forest then. No matter what happens ahead, the final battle will definitely take place in the forest."

Of course, Shade didn't expect the doctor to be able to defeat the ancient one, but he just hoped that when he and Emilia went to the woods, the doctor could solve other troubles blocking the way.

"This is better. If I am allowed to move around the city, I will have to worry about how to use this power. After receiving such a big improvement, I am actually curious about how powerful I am now. This time I have been given a Opportunity to play.”

The doctor once again handed the mirror used to summon him to Shade:

"Now you can call me not only at midnight. You can call me at any time between seven o'clock in the evening and three o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, then please spare your time tomorrow night. I may call you at any time. Doctor, although I have asked you for a lot of help before, this time I am afraid it will be more dangerous than any other time."

The doctor smiled and said:

"I don't believe it's more dangerous than Moon Bay this summer. But you're not sure, are you? Or maybe you're worried about something, right?"

Shade sat across from him without speaking, and the middle-aged psychiatrist stood up and poured him a cup of tea:

"When I was young like you, there was a long time when I was still moving forward, but I was very worried and panicked about the future. You were much luckier than me. I was alone at that time, but You have a lover, friends, and, oh, cute pets.”

"Meow~"

The cat on his lap meowed as Shade put the tea cup on it.

"Doctor, actually an hour and a half ago, someone just said to me that an uncertain future allows people to move forward with hope. But now I want to know what will happen in the future immediately. I am really worried."

He expressed his troubles at this time to Dr. Schneider, who was still smiling. He has experienced a lot to get to where he is today, and has more stories than a foreigner who has just come to this world for more than a year. He understands the mood of the young man across the coffee table:

"So in order to prevent yourself from regretting in the future, make more preparations for the future now. Besides, once you get busy, you can forget your worries for a while.

Shade, don't let worries and worries hold you back from moving forward. Most of the time, the stumbling blocks in people's life are just ourselves. Maybe I really have the potential to become a writer. "

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Shade went directly to Old John's pawn shop. The pawn shop's business never seemed to be very good. On this Friday, when there was no daylight, the entire shopping street had no business. Probably to save gas costs, the gas light in the pawn shop was only turned on the lowest setting.

Instead, he saw Shade entering the door with his cat. The old man who was checking the account books behind the counter turned on the old-fashioned lotus leaf gas lamp on the table that might be considered an antique.

"Good morning, Father John, do you have anything to do with me? The Vista Woods are preparing for the final battle. I'm very busy today."

Shade shook the letter in his hand at him, and the old man took off his reading glasses and did not talk to Shade:

"I know you are very busy, so I have prepared some useful things for you. I won't let you come here in vain. I just want to talk to you about the night of 'Crazy Moon'. I want to represent [ Guiding Light Monastery] Make sure, are there any ancient gods still alive in our era?”

"Why are you asking me this question? I don't know."

Shade shook his head and reached for the two suitcases that Old John moved to the counter. There were alchemy props and potions in the box, and each item had a label. It seemed to be the internal supplies of the [Light-Guiding Hermitage]. There were many potions that Shade had only heard of in books.

Estimating the selling price, if you buy them directly with money, the price of these supplies will definitely exceed four-digit gold pounds, and they may not be available. So this is definitely not something that Old John prepared for Shade personally. It should be a favor given to the "God Caller" by the hermitage.

"I won't hide it from you. In fact, we have always suspected that the old god that the God Caller calls every time is not the old god whose name has disappeared in the long river of history. He, sorry, she is actually calling the Sage of the Moon. ”

"Why do you think so?"

Shade asked suspiciously, so the old man behind the counter lowered his voice and replied:

"Although it is quite a long time since the ancient god left in the sixth era, this does not mean that all the information about the ancient god has disappeared. There are actually many descriptions of the ancient moon god, the God Caller The performance of the previous summons to the gods is very clear. Therefore, in our era."

"I really don't know. It's not that I don't want to tell you. I really don't know, but I think there is a high probability that the ancient gods have left. I also hoped that those gods who are said to be older than the world itself are still watching. The physical world, but I prayed many times and never got a direct answer.”

After hearing what he said, Old John sighed with regret:

"Okay, this is also expected. So, as the church estimated, the God Summoner actually summoned the power of the gods in the past? No, no, you don't need to answer me. You know that the ancient gods are really gone. , is enough.”

As he spoke he took out another small bag from under the counter;

"Our monastery is not a large ring sorcerer organization, nor does it have two thirteen rings like the Witches' Council. In this battle in the Vista Woodland, we only sent members to wait for the results, and we did not directly help the people there. In addition to the two boxes of supplies, I give this to you. I hope it will be helpful.”

"What is this? Oh, it's a relic."

Shade took the ziplock bag, and after opening it, what fell into his hand was a beautiful piece of silver-blue glass. The shape of the "glass" itself is irregular, but its appearance is similar to a rhombus with a concave arc. A constellation pattern composed of five stars was painted on its surface. In fact, it was just five glowing bright spots and silver lines connected to each other, but Shade did not recognize what constellation it was.

"The Keeper-level relic [Broken Stardust], according to legend, when the original moon was broken, it also tore apart part of the starry sky. Some of the star debris fell into the material world, forming this rare relic.

Point it at the moon and voice your worries and doubts, and maybe you'll get the answers. This is not a consumable relic. In theory, as long as you don't lose it, you can always make a wish to the stars and the moon. It's just that it's more like a romantic legend than its deeds value, because few people can really get the answer. "

"Stars that break with the moon?"

Xia De raised the "glass" and aimed it at the light of the gas lamp on the counter. Through the star-like light inside the glass, he seemed to really see a corner of the most primitive and ancient starry sky.
