Chapter 2800 The Eve of the Hunt
In the past three hundred years, except for the split of the demon that was accidentally sealed by an unknown witcher, the remaining three splits were tasked with strengthening the power and keeping a close eye on the two forces respectively.
It was not until three hundred years later that Shade arrived in the local area and got a glimpse of this long but indeed effective conspiracy.
Although the above are just speculations, as long as we check Sir Wayne's antiques and find the fifth tree hole from him, we can basically confirm Shad's idea.
He didn't know how far the devil's conspiracy had progressed, nor did he know whether the situation in recent years was related to it. But even if he and the doctor solved the devil tonight, it would not have any profound impact on the situation in the Old Continent.
Perhaps, the devil's plan had already succeeded during the fire at Hoy Manor three hundred years ago.
But no matter what, at least the purpose of attending this afternoon tea party was successfully achieved. If leaving early was not too conspicuous, Shade even wanted to go back and tell Miss Danister the good news.
The afternoon tea party ended at 4:30. Before it ended, Mayor Ronan distributed a survey letter to everyone, which contained issues about the expansion of the city's railway station. People could then mail the survey letter directly to the City Hall.
Prince William of Anjou took the place of the mayor and gave a summary speech at the afternoon tea party. Shade didn't really listen to what he said, but was thinking about what the group of restorationists wanted to do in Vista City, whether to assassinate the prince.
But in reality, nothing happened until the tea party officially ended.
Later, Shade thought that he should investigate why Sir Wayne and Lady Shatara were attending the tea party together. This was definitely not a coincidence. However, the battle to hunt demons was imminent, and in order not to alert the other party, some things could be figured out later.
After returning to the Accordion Inn, Shad explained his discovery to Flora and Miss Danister.
They were also very happy to be able to find the devil's split body so smoothly. As for Shade's speculation about the devil's plan, the two ladies also said that this was not something they should be concerned about now.
They did not insist on participating in the hunt tonight, but when Shad mentioned that he would return home to prepare and reunite at 11 o'clock in the evening, Miss Danister asked again:
"You said that the big burning trees in the forest were created by the forest demons to spread their power. So do we need to go to the forest tonight and remove those big trees one by one? This should be able to relieve your pressure."
"Don't take any action now, but you can prepare to go out."
Xia De decided to seek the doctor's advice:
"In any case, no one can leave the city until the real action begins. If Miss Elsa Asperger arrives first, please ask her to wait for me in the hotel. I will notify Sister Defulin. I hope nothing goes wrong tonight."
The nun was still dying, but Shad only needed to open the crack leading to death to see her on the shallows.
He did this after returning home. When Shade explained the schedule for tonight to her through the crack, the nun kneeling in front of the bonfire on the shallows did not stand up, but whispered:
"When you need me, write my name on the ground with fire and I will be there."
"No problem Sister, what is your full name?"
The nun kneeling by the fire waited at least two seconds before speaking:
"Just write 'Devlin'. The fire-bearing nuns voluntarily gave up their origins and backgrounds. We only have first names, not last names."
When Luvia returned home after get off work at the Prophet's Association that day, Iluna had already arrived at No. 6 St. Teresa's Square.
However, Iluna didn't originally know about the demon hunting tonight. When she saw that Shade looked like he was going out tonight, she heard about it from him, so she asked to go along.
Now Iluna also has the power of the Nine Rings, and although Shad always wants to protect the people around him, he doesn't always think that they need to hide behind him.
He had no objection to Iluna's help, but made other arrangements:
"Iluna, you will go with us to the Vestal Glades and stay in the inn with Miss Danister and the others. It is not clear whether the battles in the four locations will go smoothly. I have the power of the Night Watch and Ice, and although they are of the lowest level, there may be no problems.
So you don't have to follow me, but go to support wherever there is a problem."
Then he turned to Luvia and said:
"Luvia, you just stay at home. We don't need your help tonight."
Although the purple-eyed girl was a little dissatisfied, she did not oppose him:
"So why did Iluna come here originally?"
As he said that, he took Iluna's hand and sat down on the sofa. The flames of the fireplace provided light for the room. Iluna and Luvia sat on the long sofa, while Shade sat on the short sofa on the left.
"You may not believe it, but didn't I open a new time key this morning?"
He sighed and stroked the cat:
"Guess who I met in the Fifth Age this time?"
Luvia glanced at the 18-year-old girl who was looking expectantly at the side.
"It can't be Iluna, right?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Iluna was quite proud. Although this was an accident, she had done what even Luvia couldn't do - go on a time adventure with Shad.
The purple-eyed girl looked her up and down, and her eyes were very similar to the way Shade looked at Mia. She showed an inexplicable expression:
"Iluna, please don't tell me that you are still a candidate this time. How many times has this been?"
"What candidate? No, I'm not. I didn't qualify for the Time War. I was sent to the past because of a relic."
She explained to Luvia in detail what had happened since last Friday, and then happily said that she would go with Shade next time he used the key.
Luvia, on the other hand, didn't really care about the relic loss of control that happened to Iluna. As the chosen one, the 18-year-old girl often encountered similar situations.
The fortune teller just said softly:
"When the candidates of time were about to follow their destiny and go to the other side of time to learn and gain power, Iluna also went to the past to gain power for strange reasons."
Although it seems like a coincidence, this kind of coincidence happens every time. Maybe Luvia with long hair understands the reason, but Luvia with shoulder-length hair just superficially thinks that Iluna is indeed the most special one among all the chosen ones.
Although Luvia knew that the doctor would go to the woods tonight, the doctor was reluctant to let others know that he used demonic powers, so before leaving that night, Shad did not let the doctor go to his house. Instead, after the doctor knocked on the door, he took the initiative to ask him to take a walk in the city.
The city of Tobysk in late autumn also seems much more bleak than usual. Winter heating has now begun in some neighborhoods, so there is thick fog on the streets after nightfall, and not many people are walking around on the streets.
Xia De put his hands in his pockets and the doctor carried a briefcase. The two walked out of the square side by side and turned into Silver Cross Avenue.
The doctor doesn't seem to be nervous about what's happening tonight:
"I originally wanted to meet with the nun and the thirteen-ring sorcerer you found to remind them of some precautions, but then I thought about it and decided not to meet with anyone else."
He shook the box in his hand:
“I’ve got something good for you.
Three shields. I can assure you that no matter how powerful the demon's flames are, these shields can last at least three minutes. There are also three ice needles. After breaking up its flames, use the shield to trap it to prevent it from escaping, and then use this needle to destroy one of its split bodies. Other methods similar to "Night Watch" are also useful, but obviously you only have one sword.
You don't have to return the items to me after you've used them. Consider it a gift to your friends. You asked someone to help me this time, and I can't just let you waste the favor on your own."
The doctor handed the box to Xia De as he spoke. He was always concerned about this issue.
After Xia De put away the box, he asked again:
"Do you need other people to remove the burning trees in the forest after the battle begins? You said that the big trees will make the burning demons in the forest stronger every moment. I think removing them should relieve some of your pressure."
The doctor didn't object:
"Yes, but only after we start. This is just a small matter. Now that you have determined the identity of the demon, the main consideration now is the order in which the battle ends.
Just leave me for last. I can sense whether its other clones have been destroyed by you. It is important for you to discuss the order in which you three should eliminate the enemies first. "
Shade has already thought about it:
"I plan not to arrange the order. I will end the battle as soon as I can win, and then go to support others. I admit that among me, the nun, and that lady, I am the weakest, so I may need the nuns to help me."
The doctor looked up at the gas street lamp beside him and smiled:
"I feel that you will make the most progress. When this matter is over, I will probably stay in the Vista Forest for a while. You don't have to worry about me then. I will go deep into the forest by myself to prepare to obtain the third core spirit rune.
I will let you know when I decide to perform the ritual. I am more worried about this than the battle tonight."
"Doctor, your target is that ancient being, you won't fail at this step, right?"
Shade asked jokingly, and the doctor shook his head:
"I will definitely keep going, no matter what, even if the ending I face is more terrible than anyone else's, I will keep going."
He widened his eyes slightly, watching the little black bugs hitting the lampshade of the gas street lamp beside him again and again, ding ding ding, as if they would never stop.

I had a serious illness in August, and coupled with the start of school, I had a lot of things to do, so this month I have not been as busy as last year. Come on in September.
