Shade was greatly surprised. Although people joked that cats are liquids, what he saw was a bit too exaggerated. Mia stood on the sofa in horror and looked at the bottle, then at Priest August, and then

He ran behind Shade and hid.

The cat probably misunderstood something and mistook Priest August for the cat murderer.

"What is this? A relic?"

Shade comforted the timid cat, and then reached out to touch the dark brown glass wine bottle, but felt no trace of the whispering element.

"Where can one encounter a relic so easily? This is a magic potion, or in other words, a precursor to the potion... Just think of it as a semi-finished product."

The old priest explained that he saw that the liquid had the tendency to turn into a cat again, so he picked it up and shook it again:

"Magic potion - [Cat in a Bottle], humans can turn into cats in a short time after drinking it."

"Meow?"

The orange cat behind Shade poked its head out to look at him, its pointed ears pointed and its big amber eyes staring at the wine bottle.

"Priest, you can actually prepare this kind of magic potion?"

Shade asked with admiration on his face.

"Of course not, what are you thinking about? I am only a second-level magician. Even few people in St. Byrons can make this top-notch magic potion that can change the body of a magician. This is an expired potion I bought from the black market.

I wanted to study the potion as part of my course report. But after I got it, I discovered that not only was it expired for at least thirty years, but there were also some terrible things mixed into the potion."

The priest's face became serious:

"Look carefully, is there something black like velvet inside the white liquid?"

Shade picked up the wine bottle, shook the liquid that was about to condense into a cat, and looked around for a while before he saw:

"Yes, indeed there is."

"This is a mixture of curses. This thing exists in the potion. I'm worried that sooner or later, this potion will give birth to something more terrifying. So, I used some methods to perform an exorcism in the church."

Although Priest Augustus is not a church magician, as a senior clergyman, it is impossible for him to not know any exorcism techniques.

"Does it work?"

"It works. When I first got this bottle of potion, at least one-fifth of the contents inside was black. At that time, I thought it was mold. It wasn't until I discovered that it had a strange reaction when it came into contact with our Lord's Holy Emblem that I realized

It's a curse. But I can only do this. I still remember Louisa saying that you can also exorcise demons, so I want to ask you for help. If it still doesn't work, I can only hand it over to the academy for processing.

"

He pointed to the bottle, and Mia Cat and Shade looked at the contents inside with great interest. When the milk-colored pure white liquid gradually formed the shape of a cat, it did not change its shape like plasticine, but first changed from

The internal organs began to take shape, and they looked very disgusting.

"Exorcism? No problem."

Shade looked around, stood up and picked up his coat from the hanger at the door. Holding the bottle in his right hand, he wrapped his coat around his right hand:

"Priest Augustus, please don't look directly at my hand. Silver Moon!"

The bright light shines through the black fabric, but because it is blocked, it is not dazzling.

"If it doesn't take much, try it a few more times."

The priest touched his chin and suggested. Shade nodded, and then the clothes in his hand continued to glow frequently. He didn't know what was enough, so he counted twenty times before stopping.

Put the wine bottle in front of your eyes and observe that there are no traces of black in the white liquid, but there are some black solid precipitates at the bottom of the bottle. They look very heavy, and you have to shake the bottle vigorously to float, but they will not dissolve.

.

"Is this okay?"

He handed the bottle to the priest. The old priest looked at it for a long time and finally smiled:

"Very good, that's it. The liquid on the top is the expired semi-finished potion, and the solid below is the curse combination. After I separate it, it can be used as precious casting materials... I have

A very good curse spell. Thank you, Shade, for your hard work."

"It's just a small matter. Oh, priest, actually I also have something to ask you. I want to try to prepare some joy potions and eternal sleep water next week. I need your guidance. I wonder if you have time?"

"What's the practical content of Potions class in the first grade? Of course, it's very simple. Go to the church and see me on Wednesday morning. Bishop Owen just wants to talk to you."

As he said this, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye. The curfew time was coming soon and he couldn't stay long.

"Wednesday, right?"

Shade stood up, and Mia immediately followed.

Going downstairs with Priest Augustus, the two talked about next week's exams and the Feast of Holy Prayer.

The old priest also had a headache about the exam, and what he complained about was not the exam itself:

"I get a headache when I think about exams. At this age, I still have to take exams. When I was young, I never thought that such a thing would happen."

"So when you were young, how did you think you would spend your old age?"

Shade helped Priest August open the door, and the priest put the hat on his head:

"I have some savings of my own, and then with the help of the church, I can find a job in the government welfare department that can get paid without working. It is best to have a weekly salary of more than half a pound. I have a house of my own in Tobesk, and drink every day.

Have a cup of tea and read the newspaper, maybe raise a cat like you... Look, Shade, how do I feel that you now have achieved what I wanted for myself when I was young?"

Having said this, the old priest himself laughed. He reached out and patted Shade on the shoulder, and then walked out of the door.

The afterglow of the setting sun had reached the roof of the house across the square, and the bright golden light in front of him made Shade subconsciously squint his eyes. Priest Augustus went away facing the sunset, while Shade stood at the door holding the door and watching him.

Back view:

"It would be great if I could be as handsome as Priest Augustus when I get older."

When the priest was young, he envied Shard's current life, and the young Shard envied the life of the old priest. This made Shard think more about life in a foreign land.

【What are you thinking?】

Shade closed the door gently, shutting out the sunlight and the square.

"Even in this world, having a house of your own is the most important symbol of a successful life."
