He did this to thank Shade for his help.

"No need, it's just a walk, and the danger in the basement is actually greater than the crime mansion itself."

He didn't know whether the nuns and vampires understood what he meant, so he turned around and walked along the corridor to the left:

"Wait for me outside. I'll be out soon."

Behind him, Armand Bernhard glanced at the nun hesitantly:

"Excuse me, are you the leader of the spiritual cult? Actually, I want to ask you for help with something. Of course, it is paid."

"We can go out and talk."

The nun said, and beside them, the old man holding an oil lamp had already pushed open the door of the mansion with great effort:

"Do you want to sell the oil lamp in your hand?"

the nun asked softly.

(Little Mia is running.)

No one in the mansion would stop Shade, so after saying goodbye to his companions for the time being, he successfully returned to the underground wine cellar.

After arriving at the bottom of the wine cellar from the elevator, the light in the gurgling pool also reflected the sparkling waves on Shade's face.

"It's very fast, and you smell like fire. Are you the phoenix in the underground?"

[Desire] laughed happily.

It seems that after arriving at Sin Mansion, everyone knew that there was a phoenix in Xikal Mountain.

"Yes."

He spread his hands, and inside were the pair of golden pearl earrings. Under the influence of the spell [Moving Object], they slowly floated towards the pool.

"I thought you would come over directly."

The woman's head exposed at the edge of the pool said with a smile, and Shade felt the pair of pearl earrings flying for a distance, and then he lost control of them. The earrings separated, flying to the left and right of the beautiful woman.

the ears of the head, and fixed there:

"do I look good?"

The "woman" with wet hair shyly asked Shade by the pool. This scene not only did not make Shade feel charming, but made him a little frightened. Just a smile from the other party has the power to charm the mind. It really

It is desire itself.

"Of course you are beautiful. To be honest, I have never seen a more beautiful face than yours so far."

"Although you are a little less courageous, you are still honest."

A shy blush appeared on that beautiful face:

"Laziness, your new sinful karma turns out to be this. Look, I will say that your sinful karma is with you."

"But I think this seems to be the sin you induced me to obtain."

Shade corrected, but the woman just chuckled. That laugh was so beautiful.

"Of course, I can't compare to you."

He added in his mind.

【Thanks.】

"This is the gift I promised you. I think you will like it."

With the gentle sound of water, a white right hand stretched out from the water, holding a piece of rolled parchment. Judging from the thickness, the length of the parchment after unfolding is probably not less than 5 feet (about 1.5m)

.And even though it was taken out of the water, there was no water on the parchment at all.

"Desire" knew that Shade would not come close, so the ancient parchment automatically flew towards Shade. Shade reached out to catch it, but did not feel the slightest whisper element, which meant that this thing was not a relic.

"This is knowledge. To be more precise, this is a book."

"what book?"

Shade took the heavy parchment tube and looked up and down. There were some burn marks on the edges of the parchment.

"The Pink Book."

"Um?"

He looked up at the other person, and then quickly looked away. Now, two white hands on the left and right were stretched out, one on the left and one on the right, hugging each other and placing them on the pool platform in front of his head. But the strange thing is that he still couldn't see

to shoulders and neck.

"I know the Pink Book, this is."

"It's not the copies you know. This is a copy of the original version of the Pink Book, and it was copied by me."

The woman's slightly hoarse voice was unusually beautiful.

"The original text of the "Pink Book" originated from ancient times, yes, very ancient. When I copied it, I changed the content to the knowledge suitable for the extraordinary system of the Sixth Age. Read it several times and obtain the spiritual runes.

Difficult thing. I think you will be interested in it."

When Shade went to the library of St. Byrons for the first time, he saw a "Pink Book" on the library bookshelf. Later, he learned from Dorothy, who had read many books, that this book

This book is a book on assisted reproduction. Although the content sounds very informal, the knowledge about spells, thaumaturgy and rituals is actually very useful, but most of them are used in informal ways in this book.

For example, the famous Grease Technique and Partial Petrification Technique, these ancient spells still exuded vitality in the Sixth Era. However, Shade still has many problems due to his diversification of thaumaturgy, the advantages of thaumaturgy over incantation and the speed of upgrading.

He didn't have time to spend money to select useful spells from the academy's huge list of spells, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in this knowledge.

It is normal for an ordinary ring magician to have three to four times as many spells as thaumaturgy, but for Shad, it is almost the opposite.

"So, thank you?"

He said hesitantly, accepted the roll of parchment, and decided to go home and open it in front of the statue hidden behind the wall to prevent accidents.

"No thanks, Shad Hamilton."

She said Shade's name very accurately, and then gave out that pleasant smile again:

"This chance encounter is probably an arrangement of fate. I think this will not be the last time we meet."

Shade really wanted this encounter to be the last.

"So, shall we, um, meet again next time?"

He just wants to leave now.

"Sin karma is also your strength. I hope that next time we meet, you can bring me more surprises, at least more surprises than the crazy phoenix this time."

"Sin is not my strength."

Shade corrected, and then heard the sound of water, as if there was a huge thing stirring the water at the bottom:

"Oh, how young and innocent."

The two arms were retracted back into the water, and the woman's head moved away from the edge of the pool while looking at Shade with a smile:

"Answer me a question."

As he spoke, the head had returned to the center of the pool.

"Excuse me."

Shade noticed that the head was slowly submerging into the water, but the beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to absorb the human soul were still looking at Shade;

"When the final moment comes and everything comes to an end, isn't the power of sin the power?"

She didn't give Shade a chance to answer. Her beautiful face completely entered the water, but there was no trace of floating hair on the water.

The sound of gurgling water gradually disappeared, and the light under the water was extinguished little by little. Looking at the square pool again, it was clearly filled with red wine.

The underground wine cellar regained its calm, and the whispering elements returned to their original state in the [Sin Mansion]. Shade knew that [Desire] had left.

"It's a good thing that it didn't stay at Fort Midhill. Otherwise, the future of this city would be really pessimistic."

After looking down at the parchment in his hand, turning it into a toy and putting it away, Shade turned around and prepared to leave.

But he didn't know that in the dim wine pool behind him, the beautiful head "rised" quietly again. The eyelashes were touched by the wine, and the red droplets on the cheeks slid down. The purple eyes were narrowed, and the slender eyes were

He licked his lips with his tongue, and his eyes reflected the color of the silver moon.

After all, she did nothing. There seemed to be something huge stirring the liquid in the wine pool, but it was silent.

The woman's head sank into the wine pool:
Chapter completed!
