As the only hotel in the town, and to accept the caravans coming and going, the date palm manor is very large, and the rooms can accommodate the arrival of dozens of caravans at the same time in the peak season, and there is naturally no shortage of rooms. Pib prepared three adjoining rooms for them, and instead of taking the oil lamp from the boss's hand, Del Cora casually held up a small fireball, used it to illuminate, and went into his room.

The room was small but clean and well equipped. However, in today's era when the Holy See is vigorously promoting the popularization of magic technology, the utensils here seem to be a bit quaint and archaic - for example, even in the poorest parts of Yadu, people can afford cheap holy lamps or elemental lamps to support the lighting of their homes for a week, but here, it seems that oil lamps are still the main source of light.

After getting used to seeing the bright white light and the bright yellow fireball, it is very unaccustomed to looking at the dim oil lamp. Del Koraninken lit the fireball himself for lighting.

He held the fireball in one hand, and without chanting a spell, the fireball rose straight up and floated not far from the ceiling. It wasn't enough distance to ignite the wood, but it was effective in removing the dampness of the night and allowing him to get a good night's sleep.

Even if the living environment is no longer exquisite, he is used to making himself as comfortable as possible.

The tub sat in the corner of the room, and the bed was a clean white cloth that looked like it was woven from some kind of beastly fluff, but Del Cora hadn't seen anything of it. He tried to knead, and it felt a little rough, not as comfortable as white velvet, of course, but much better than ordinary linen or coarse wool blankets.

The tub in each room should be filled with hot water after the guests have chosen their room, which is one of the jobs of the dozen or so waiters at the hotel, but Del Cora declined the service anyway, leaving the small space entirely to himself.

Now, finally, there is free time.

He threw his tall stand-up collar robe on the bed, and his gold-trimmed striped shirt and slim-fitting trousers were removed. Wearing only a pair of shorts, Del Kora's not stout but well-proportioned figure was exposed to the air.

He let out a long sigh and stretched, glancing casually at the tub.

The rich water element passed through the half-open window and condensed into a large half of the clear pure water in the tub, and the water was mixed with a little bit of fire element, which failed to ignite the flame, and was quickly repelled by the rolling of the water, but also adjusted the water temperature to a suitable temperature. Delcora tested the waters, then jumped in, half leaning against the bucket and squinting in satisfaction.

A magician who can enjoy life is a qualified magician, and when this phrase was engraved in the halls of the Tower of Truth of the Wizards Association by the Holy Magister Ansel Reeves 800 years ago, it was quickly adopted as a model for all magicians, both the High Tower and the Academy.

No matter how great and majestic the power of the elements is, magic is ultimately at the service of people.

"Hey, Delcora, you didn't sleep, did you?"

The darkness tore a crack in his ears, and behind the depths that no light could penetrate, came Satya's voice - with the help of a small means that existed a long time ago and that Del Cora voluntarily accepted, within a certain distance, Satya's shadow rift could open directly around him, and a small space that was not a vacuum could naturally transmit sound.

- It's really good, even if I've been listening to it for 14 years.

"Hmm...... Do you want to take a bath?"

Naturally, he knew why Satya was calling him at this time.

"Want to be together?"

Satya's voice was smiling.

"I guess that's a good thing for me...... A good thing that you can't ask for. Delkora said, reaching out and grabbing it, and the rich water element gathered again, "Actually, using the shadow space to store hot water is a good choice. Don't you think about it?"

The water was swallowed up by the deep darkness. Then from there came a clear sound of water.

"If you want your tent to be full of water. ”

Satya seemed to be changing her clothes, and some small sounds reached his ears.

"Do you like me listening to you take a bath?"

"I thought you'd take it as a reward. ”

"That's not bad either. ”

Del Cora sank into the tub again, revealing only half of her face floating on the water.

The shadow rift had not been lifted, and the clear sound of water lingering in his ears. He looked up at the large fireball hanging from the ceiling.

The sound of the water stopped.

"Why didn't you flicker when you were attacked by the moon wolf before? ”

Satya asked casually.

"Forgotten. ”

Del Cola also replied casually.

"You know I'm following you, and you know I'm going to help. ”

"I believe in you. ”

"But you're putting yourself in danger...... I'm angry. ”

“...... I'm sorry. ”

"Your apology is cheap. ”

"Because there's only one customer who needs it. ”

"Flim Flam. ”

"Are you happy?"

“...... No, I'm even angrier. Reach out. ”

Delkora obediently reached into the Shadow Rift.

Tingling, as if bitten by something sharp. A few drops of blood flowed out, and there seemed to be shadow forces flowing around the fingers.

"Alright. ”

Delkora withdrew his hand and looked at his little finger. There was no wound to be seen, only a little bit of skin on the fingertips became more delicate. The nail of Little Thumb has a purple abstract dagger pattern on it, which is small and delicate, just like a small nail art decoration commonly used by girls.

"With this, you can't be a playboy in the future. ”

"You know I won't. ”

He put his hand back in the tub and let the warm water soak it, purple patterns swaying through the water.

"Good night, then. ”

"Good night. ”

————————

The next day, Del Kola woke up late.

By the time he got dressed and made it to the hall, Satya and Assas had finished their breakfast and were taking care of their gear. Instead of wearing his knightly armor, Assas changed into a normal dress with a scabbard around his waist - after Satya actually joined the squad, Assas finally had a suitcase wide enough to hold his heavy knightly gear.

Compared to the Space Ring, the Assassin's Shadow Space is a more convenient and affordable way to store luggage - if it weren't for the fact that this skill is too demanding, it is rare for low-level Assassins to learn it (and high-level Assassins ...... Naturally, they all have excellent spatial rings), I am afraid that the status of the assassins in each mercenary group can be upgraded to a higher level.

Satya was still dressed in leather armor, with the dagger pinned to the back of her waist.

"It seems like there was an earthquake last night, did you feel it?" Delcora asked casually, seated next to the two of them.

"It was a slight jolt that barely woke me up. "I just saw the boss, and he was in a hurry. ”

"What's going on?" Delkora raised an eyebrow, looking excited, "Maybe there's something we can do to help?"

"It's a pity that there is no mercenary union here, and no one can issue us a task. "Go outside and ask," said Assas, for it should be serious to make a well-educated person lose his temper." ”

After Del Cora had finished breakfast, the three of them left the tavern and headed for the center of the town. There are very few people on the road, but the occasional passer-by looks normal and doesn't look like a big thing is happening. The three of them walked and stopped all the way, until they saw a few townspeople gathered together in the square in the center of the town, and they didn't know what to discuss.

The tavernkeeper, Pib Dan, is among them.

He looked a little worried. When they saw Del Kora approaching, they didn't say hello.

"Hey, sir, what's going on?"

Del Cora stepped forward to ask questions.

"We had a problem with the public well here," explains Piber-Dan, "and it suddenly dried up last night and we couldn't get water." The wells in the other people's homes were dried up. We didn't know what was going on, so we wanted to ask Pastor Seris for help, but he was in the town of Bones, a week away from here, and we were discussing what to do. ”

"The well is dry?" Delkora thought for a moment and asked, "Where is your well?"

"Right here. Pib Dan pointed behind him, where there was a small improvised shed, and in the shed was a well with a wheel for drawing water.

"Are you a noble magician?" said the old man standing beside Pieber with respect and hope, "can you help us with this? ”

"No...... Compensation aside, I need to know what's going on. Del Cora scratched her hair, "Satya, give me the Saint's Grace!"

The short staff of the blue gem was in his hand, and he took two steps forward, approaching the mouth of the well, and looked down.

The people in the surrounding towns also looked at him expectantly.

"Satya, Assas, come and help me, I'm going to do a little experiment. After watching for a while, Del Cola left the well, turned his head and called the two of them.

"What's wrong?" Asas also looked deeper into the wellhead, "What are you suspecting?"

"I'm not sure yet, I need to prove it. Arthas, give me a little light. And Satya, extract a little of the power of the Shadows. ”

Assas blinked, didn't ask more, folded his hands, and closed his eyes. His palms glowed with a bright, but not blinding white light.

"The God of Creation is above, is that the Light?"

"Is this young man a priest?"

"No, he looks more like a paladin!"

"Thank you, God of Creation, for your care of your godly people!"

At the sight of the light in Assas's hands, the townspeople began to stir, and many of them folded their hands and bowed their heads in prayer.

"It seems that the people here are still behind the times. Delkora shrugged, "The latest edition of the Genesis has been emphasizing the creativity and will of life itself, and the phrase 'God has given me life, and I have rewarded God with civilization' is the most popular prayer right now. ”

"The purpose of the church's existence is to promote the development and creation of civilization, and it is only in the last few hundred years that the Holy See has united the three major powers to promote the overall progress of education on the mainland, and these things can be understood and accepted by believers. It's a step-by-step process. Assas held the light in his hand and said earnestly.

"It seems that the level of civilization here is not very high, and it is much easier to understand here, 'God has come to save the world' than the saying 'God has allowed us to save ourselves.' It seems that the pastor did not copy the passages of the holy text casually. Satya stretched, the power of the shadows swirling at her fingertips, "And then, what do you want us to do?"

"I'm just reminded of a magic circle spell I've seen before, a spell that is cumbersome and useless, but it's perfect for use here," Delkora waved his staff, and the four basic elements of water, fire, earth, and wind began to condense around him. And because he is holding in his hand the gift of the Sage, who represents water, the water element is obviously more than the other elements.

"Earth, fire, water, wind, light, and darkness, the six powers can form a simple world...... "Del Cora muttered to herself, holding the staff in one hand and waving it in the air, and the various elements also mixed and chaotic, and the air flickered with various colors, and the explosion of repulsion when the different elements collided-

Although all this was confined to a few meters around Del Kora, the onlookers cautiously took a few steps back.

"There is only one possibility, and there is only one possibility, and there is only one possibility......"

"Let me see what's wrong with the leylines around here. ”
