Chapter 3167 Twin Spiders

Luvia immediately saw that Shade had wrong ideas, and with a slightly red face, she gently kicked his boot with her boot:

"I'm looking forward to seeing what will be written on your card. I think the doctor has a good eye when choosing tasks."

The situation of Priest Augustus can be explored somewhat by the relic, but it seems that the relic cannot know the true situation of Luvia. This also fully demonstrates that long-haired Luvia is much stronger than the incomplete angel.

Although Shade regretted not being able to see the interesting content, he also accepted this reality. He returned the card with a very design sense to Luvia. After Luvia took it, the carriage suddenly bumped, and then -

Bang!

Shade was so shocked that he almost stood up in the carriage. Dorothy, who was inside the carriage, also looked outside:

"The sound came from the north. What happened over there?"

The doctor who was driving the carriage in front answered:

"It doesn't sound like a steam bomb or a gas explosion, and we can't see any fire from our side. Is it a team from the church?"

Iluna has returned home and will probably be back next week. Although Luvia knows that the church will take action tonight, she doesn't know the details.

"Isn't our next destination the West District? What happened in the north shouldn't affect us, Luvia. Can you tell us the divination?"

Shade asked, and Luvia turned over her fortune telling cards, rinsed them a little, cut them again, and then turned over the top card in the pile:

"Upright position: Destiny. Destiny will arrange everything that happens next, whether it is good or bad, what is supposed to happen will definitely happen."

"What's the meaning?"

Father Augustus asked in the wind, and Luvia explained:

"It's a neutral result, not bad. I think as long as we are cautious, there should be no problem."

The West District of Tobesk is the industrial area of ​​the "Steam City". The Terraril River slopes from the northeast of the city through the city center and then reaches the West District. Docks and warehouses are built along the river, ensuring that the products produced in the factories that operate day and night can be transported to the city in the southwest of Draurion downstream.

In the city of Tobysk at night, the western district is the brightest area from the sky. The workers working in two or three shifts ensure that the steam machinery will never stop, and the "n-hour work system" that was repeatedly discussed in the parliament many years ago is just a ridiculous piece of waste paper in the eyes of factory owners who are eager for more money.

A horse-drawn carriage carrying five people drove non-stop from the south of the city. Although the West District was also the area with the worst air quality in the local area, the urban infrastructure construction here was not inferior to the East District where wealthy businessmen lived - after all, the steam and gas pipelines had to be guaranteed to be available 24 hours a day.

It is basically impossible to find a large open space like "Regent's Park" or the "abandoned house" mentioned earlier in this land-scarce area, but fortunately there are also warehouses connected to each other in the factory area, and the location given by the college is there.

"Here we are. I'll go open the door."

After the carriage stopped, Xia De jumped out first, walked around to the front of the horse, took the key thrown by the doctor, and opened the door of the warehouse courtyard that the college had rented in advance.

Because it was often used, the ground of the warehouse yard was covered with a thin layer of snow that had only fallen today. With a creaking sound, the two doors were pushed open by Shade, and the doctor drove the carriage in. Shade closed the two metal doors again at the door.

Then, priest Augustus, who was sitting next to the doctor, jumped off the carriage and pushed open the door of the warehouse. The interior of the low-rise building was very spacious. The previous owner had stored steam engine parts here for a long time, so although there was wind in the warehouse, there was still a pungent smell of engine oil.

After the carriage stopped, the two girls got out of the carriage. At this time, Shade was using the "Moon Thorns" to block the door of the warehouse. Dense silver thorns were growing on the walls and ceiling, but when Luvia turned on the gas lamps on the walls of the warehouse, the brightness of the thorns was suppressed.

"There are still twenty minutes left, everyone, set up."

As the doctor spoke, he separated the horse from the carriage, led it to a corner of the warehouse, and hypnotized it to sleep to protect it.

Although setting traps was useless, the means that could be used in a closed room were still more useful than in the open courtyard just now.

This time it was Dorothy's turn to conduct the card experiment. While waiting for the experiment time to arrive, the sound of explosions was faintly heard in the city again. Although the distance was farther this time, the five people could still hear it.

"I'll go outside and take a look."

Shade said, and he jumped up and disappeared, then appeared on the roof of the warehouse bungalow. Thick snow covered the tiles. Most of the factory buildings in the western part of Tobesk were quite tall, but looking to the east, Shade could still vaguely see the spire of the side tower of the Yodel Palace in the snow.

The red butterfly flew upwards, and a few seconds later he appeared on the roof of a nearby taller building.

Looking far into the distance, the windows with lights on and the gas street lamps that outline the shape of the city marked the direction for people returning home at night. After putting on the [Crow Eye] and looking in the direction of the sound, even if his perception was strong, Shade could only determine that the problem was in the core urban area:

"It's not near St. Teresa's Square, is it? I hope Mia won't be scared."

After waiting for a few minutes to make sure that the explosion had not continued, he returned to the warehouse and informed everyone of the result. The doctor thought that since it did not affect this side, there was no need to worry about it.

"Detective, I remember you insured your home, didn't you?"

Father Augustus asked as he scattered bone powder all over the floor of the warehouse, thus ensuring that he could summon the undead at any time.

"Yes, but didn't I just buy the house next door recently? Although the house has been transferred, the insurance is still the previous owner's. I'm not sure what level of home insurance that is."

Dorothy and Luvia both knew that Shard had bought 7 St. Teresa's Place, but this was the first time the priest and the doctor had heard of it.

The doctor asked curiously:

"Is it such a big deal? Then what was the final transaction price?"

"This is the total including the land."

Shade gestured a number, and the doctor and priest Augustus were very surprised. Real estate in the core area centered on the Yodel Palace rarely has direct transactions, so the outside world has no idea about the prices there.

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

"But I want to make it clear that although I didn't take the money myself, I paid half of it. I'm not the poor guy who lives on women as the newspapers say. I'm very rich."

The doctor and the priest nodded their heads in understanding, while Luvia and Dorothy smiled. They all knew that although Shad didn't care about details, luxury or ostentation in many aspects of his life, he cared a lot about self-esteem.

So it was very easy for the girls to make Xia De happy.

The alert Shad frowned suddenly, and blocked the air in front of him with the long sword in his hand. With a clang, [Night Watcher] collided with the unclear weapon in the air, producing a dazzling spark.

At the same time, there was a sound of air explosion coming from the direction of the doctor. Shade saw out of the corner of his eye that the doctor suddenly punched forward. The invisible things in the vibrating air were hit by him and flew out, hitting the thorn bushes on the wall.

"This isn't right. How can there be two enemies?"

Xia De asked in a low voice while sweeping his sword forward. At the same time, a white crystal appeared in his left hand and was thrown upwards. The light of the "Crystal of Truth" enveloped most of the warehouse, and the appearance of the two enemies was immediately revealed.

It is not accurate to say that there are two enemies, because Xia De clearly saw that he was facing half of a red spider. The spider only had the left half of its body, and the part where the right side should be was filled with a shadow to ensure that the spider would not lose balance.

The enemy the doctor is facing is probably only the right half of the body, and since it has seen the enemy's figure, it will definitely not be able to escape.

The silver sword marks from the long sword slashed at the half spider's body, but the moonlight disappeared as it approached its body surface, as if it had touched ripples in the air. The spider continued to laugh wildly from its mouthparts, and it lowered its body to move through space, but Shade, who had already seen that this thing had spatial power, took a step ahead:

"Space Stabilization Aura!"

Then he narrowed his eyes and swung out with his right hand. This time, the Moonlight Slash successfully hit the enemy, splitting the spider, which only had the left half of its body, into two. However, the shadow connected to the crack, allowing the spider to recover (note).
