The Whispering Verses Chapter 235: Preparations for the Zhengshen Church
"But at what cost?"
Shad was not dazzled by the description of the necklace's function, even though it was simply equivalent to an extremely weakened version of the "divine afterglow state."
The big witch replied:
"When you use a necklace, you have to bear the witch's curse, and it is an enlarged version of the witch's curse. During the period of wearing it, any man who comes into contact with your skin will suffer from severe and life-threatening allergic symptoms and uncontrollable headaches. . Of course, this curse has no effect on the witch itself, so you'd better wear it while using it, and don't come into direct contact with the silver-eyed person."
"Only this? This doesn't seem very dangerous."
She smiled at Shade:
"Of course it's not just that. This necklace itself is attached with the witch's resentment and curse. If the curse breaks out, the user's ring wizard level will jump directly to 12 rings, and then lose their mind and attack any object until they die. But don't worry, this The effect has been temporarily suppressed by the council, at least you will have no problem using it."
"Oh, this is really good...Miss Carina, please allow me to express my gratitude."
"There's no need to thank you. I'm just lending it to you anyway. However, this is my personal jewelry. I can lend it to you, but you can't let anyone else use it. Do you understand?"
Xia De nodded. He understood this request very well. After all, it was personal jewelry:
"No problem, I'll use it myself."
So Miss Carina asked again:
"How about trying the specific effect? Male servants of the manor are not allowed to enter the second floor, so you don't have to worry about triggering a curse."
Shad nodded and carefully tried to put the necklace on his neck. But since he had never worn anything like this before, he tried several times without success. Finally, the maid helped him fasten the buckle behind his neck.
After Xia De thanked him somewhat sheepishly, he looked up at the sky.
Floating snowflakes fell from the sky, and Miss Carina reached out to catch them in surprise.
Xia De glanced at her to make sure the other party didn't see any clues, and then continued to run the mystery lock.
This is not out of caution, but because I want to test whether the secret of the secret lock will be seen through by the other party. If discovered, just explain the matter directly. It doesn't matter if Miss Carina knows the secret; if the other party can't see through it, Shade understands that the Thaumatology Mystery Lock will not be easily discovered in its unfinished state.
As the mystery lock continued to operate, the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and the wind carried snowflakes flying in the sky. The three of them all looked up at the ceiling, but there was actually a night sky with a silver moon hanging high.
But this scene only lasted for three seconds before it ended. Shade turned pale and ended the thaumaturgic effect. The effect while wearing the necklace was equivalent to about two-thirds of the improvement after ringing the [Judge's Holy Bell]. The latter directly allowed him to summon the Match Girl, but the former could only change the environment on a large scale.
"Pretty good, very good."
He said, reaching out and taking off the necklace. But this time she still failed, so the maid held back her smile and reached out to help again.
"As long as you are satisfied, just take this necklace away and return it to me after the incident is over. There is no need to worry about being recognized by others. I have never worn this necklace when I was acting as the Witch Council. Its improvement effect is not obvious for high-level ring wizards."
Miss Carina said this, and then suddenly said:
"Oh, detective, don't...Tifa, bring the jewelry box from the bedroom."
Shad stopped putting the necklace directly into his pocket, and then realized that it seemed a little wrong to put other people's personal jewelry directly into his pocket.
The maid left the room, and Xia Deyou mentioned the topic about the evil god:
"Miss Carina, there is one more thing that must be confirmed. Are you sure that the arrival of the evil **** [Lord of the Blood Feast] can be organized by the church? I don't want to come out from the underground ruins with my companions. See...the whole of Tobesk becomes part of the table."
What happened at Lakeview Manor left a deep impression on Shade.
"I can't guarantee you 100%, but there should be no accidents this time."
The Duchess said, seeing that Shade still looked worried, she continued to explain:
"The Church of the Righteous God has been dealing with similar matters since the beginning of its establishment. From the records in the middle and late fifth era to the current sixth era in 1853, there have been only one mistakes that allowed evil gods to descend under the supervision of the church. Twice, although the losses were indeed heavy in those two times, I had to call for the righteous **** to come to solve the problem... I also checked the information within the parliament, and the ceremony for the [Lord of the Blood Feast] to descend in the form of a saint, human beings The container and the grand **** banquet are necessary conditions. Now the church is sure to control Mr. Lawrence at the banquet, and the grand banquet will be destroyed by the church in time, so it is impossible to succeed no matter what."
"But Mr. Lawrence is just a container that [Mercury Blood] helped prepare. What if those cultists have second-hand preparations?"
Shadow was still worried.
"Then the church also has other ways."
The Great Witch has great confidence in the church.
"But even if the banquet is prevented, the concept of 'banquet' in the ceremony does not necessarily refer to the actual banquet. What if they find other ways to hold the ceremony?"
"In that case, they would have to cause an impact throughout the city to produce an effect equivalent to a 'blood feast', but this is almost impossible."
Miss Carina replied, seeing that Shade still looked worried, she knew that the incident at Lakeview Manor had left a deep impression on him.
The voice suddenly dropped:
"The church has the final insurance. They have prepared an unknowable (level 0) relic."
Xia De raised his head and looked at the witch in surprise, who nodded:
"You are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone else about this matter. I didn't even tell Tifa. That's right, there is a level 0 relic in the Tobesk area. The relic is specially designed to deal with the appearance of the saint. It was launched not long ago The thirteen-ring warlock 'Sunshine Sword' was personally brought and guarded. Mortals cannot fight against gods, but gods can fight against gods. It was a weapon left behind by an old **** in the past. Paying a heavy sacrifice can temporarily restrict the gods in the form of saints to a certain area to buy time for the Zhengshen Church to call for the help of the Zhengshen Church, so the Zhengshen Church has never lacked people with a spirit of sacrifice. Detective, what you need to consider is the banquet and your own actions. It is the job of the Righteous God to prevent the evil **** from coming."
"What exactly is that unknown relic?"
Xia De asked.
"I don't know. This is a secret of the church. Can I know whether this thing is in Tobesk or is it the information obtained by the parliament."
She sighed and looked at the door:
"Since Tifa hasn't come back yet, let me tell you one more thing... Actually, I can't say anything. This matter is more secret and important than the level 0 relic. In short... ."
Miss Carina looked at Shade in embarrassment, and after a long time she said softly:
"Anyway, if you encounter a strange church sorceress recently, remember to tell me."
