Chapter 717: Chapter 717 Leisure Time

With nothing else to do at Midshire Fort for the rest of the week, Shard dedicated the upcoming Friday and Saturday mornings entirely to preparing for the sealing ceremony.

Sister Delphine had provided the complete process of the ceremony, which Shard would procure the materials for from Coldwater Port, seeking assistance from Old John for the alchemical items. As for conducting the ceremony, it would be jointly assisted by Dorothy, Luviya, and Dr. Schneider, though its actual undertaking would likely have to wait until the following week.

With time to spare, Shard, aside from browsing the “Book of Pink” at home in an attempt to learn useful sorcery, also took Mia to visit the lighthouse outside Coldwater Port, paying a visit to Mr. Edmund of the “Guiding Light Hermitage” residing there.

Shard had visited a few days earlier, requesting the gentleman to gather knowledge about the Old God “Gray Robed Sage.” The hermitage’s knowledge came at a price, but given the familiarity, Mr. Edmund only symbolically charged Shard the cost of materials and transportation, totaling one pound.

This contrasted starkly with Old Man John, another member of the “Guiding Light Hermitage.”

“Yes, we also know that the third Chosen One is in Midshire Fort.”

The sea breeze swept across the cliffs, and Mia squinted at the sea. In casual conversation, Shard mentioned Milestone, because he had previously inquired about the “Interstice of Life and Death” with Mr. Edmund, so the old man, who was cooking fish soup, knew that Shard had been mixing in Milestone.

Mr. Edmund was quite fond of fishing, Shard even thought that his decision to stay here instead of moving into town was not only because it served as the local black market, but also because fishing was indeed very convenient here.

“The Hermit Society already has people there, but we are neither the Church nor the Academy; we have neither the power nor the will to have the Chosen join us. So, the Hermit Society just wants to know who will obtain this qualification.”

The old man stood up from beside the fire, served the specially seasoned fish soup, and handed it to Shard, who was standing by the sea cliff, gazing into the distance.

Mia, the orange cat at Shard’s feet, smelled the fish soup and began to squirm restlessly.
