The Whispering Verses Chapter 1017: The demon of multiplied desire
Dorothy returned to Quill Street to pack her clothes, which would not take too long since Lesia had already stored their daily clothes in Saint Teresa Square. No. 6 Saint Teresa Square has few other advantages, but it has a large area and lots of space.
Shade left little Mia at home, but he did not return to the Three Cats Hotel. Instead, he took a carriage to Röntgen Avenue in the East District of Tobesk, and met the last guest of the afternoon in the psychological clinic. Dr. Schneider getting ready for dinner.
"Devil?"
In the study on the third floor of the psychology clinic, after listening to Shade's story about "Victor's Box and the Devil", the doctor repeated in disbelief:
"Here? In Tobesk City?"
He pointed to his feet:
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, devil."
Xia De nodded and asked the doctor not to find someone to prepare tea, as he would not stay here long:
"I am very sure that it is indeed an evil spirit demon left in the Third Age, but it doesn't seem to be particularly powerful..."
Otherwise, he would not have been forced away directly. Compared with the Balrog sealed in the Sikal Mountain, this demon is really weak:
"Of course, it may also be because the opponent is not good at fighting."
Dr. Schneider touched his chin and thought deeply, unable to believe that such a good thing could happen. Shade took out the cloth toy of the bench from his pocket, restored it to its original shape and placed it on the side of the sofa:
"Look~"
He took out the holy water bottle again and placed it on the bench. Seeing that the holy water in the holy water bottle boiled almost immediately, Dr. Schneider frowned deeply:
"What number is this holy water?"
"No. 4."
"Did you buy it from Priest Augustus? I also bought a batch recently. The old priest didn't know where he got the purchase channel."
The doctor muttered and asked Shade to wait. He went out of the room and came back soon with a pepper shaker and a salt shaker.
The pepper shaker is small. After all, pepper is a very expensive spice. The doctor rotated the lid, then gently knocked it against the bench twice, and poured out some black powder from the pores on the surface of the lid.
The salt shaker was very large. The doctor scooped out a spoonful of it with a small steel spoon, and then used the bottom of the spoon to spread it evenly on the surface of the bench.
Xia De and the doctor who was kneeling there looked at the salt together. In just a few dozen seconds, the fine white salt began to turn black. As a strange smell emanated, Shade held his breath, but Dr. Schneider carefully stretched his head and waved his right palm in front of his nose to let the smell drift into the nasal cavity:
"It does smell like the devil. Although I can't be 100% sure, I can probably guess who it is."
He straightened up, and with Shade's consent, he threw out the black flame from his hand and burned the entire chair. There was no smoke, but there were some pitted black crystals on the burned ground, which were collected by the doctor.
Any items that retain the power of evil spirits and demons are extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than relics, so they must be destroyed in time.
"The proliferating demon - Fannie. He relies on spreading desire to make himself stronger, and signs contracts with mortals with little binding force. He relies on the contract to ferment desire, and he becomes stronger and stronger."
Dr. Schneider said, his face was not relaxed:
"Although it cannot be compared with the combat power of Sophix, the arsonist we once encountered, this evil spirit that relies on human hearts and desires to survive is even more difficult to deal with. It is the same as the human pus in the past. Type of evil spirit, of course, human pus is older and more powerful than it."
"So, are there any famous stories about demons that proliferated in past eras?"
Xia De asked, Dr. Schneider shook his head:
"It is not keen on causing any destruction, but disguises itself as a humanoid creature and is active in cities and countryside. By spreading and multiplying desires, it corrupts those originally clean souls. In its last appearance, that is, In the middle of the Fifth Era, it even corrupted an entire human city-state and created tens of thousands of demon servants. Shade, don't think that it is weak. It is often the evil spirits that can spread desires and use them as the source of their power. The most powerful demon."
"Can you deal with it?"
Xia De asked again. Dr. Schneider snorted and nodded confidently:
"Of course there is no problem in dealing with it. Judging from your description, Fannie must have only broken free of the seal in the past hundred years, and his strength is still a bit weak. Copying the coin box is not a method that high-end demons can do. The efficiency is too low. The powerful demon must either select so-called 'heroes' to be corrupted, or plan a conspiracy that can capture the souls of at least tens of thousands of people at a time. Since it does this, it means that its power has weakened to a certain limit. ."
The doctor paced the room a few times with his hands behind his back:
"Since you came to me at dinner time instead of coming back in the evening, it means that you have other things to do in the evening. I will go to Room 413 of the Three Cats Hotel by myself later to check the situation. Don't worry about me. If It’s a good thing that Ni really didn’t leave.”
This middle-aged psychiatrist seems particularly confident when it comes to fighting against demons:
"If the items left by the devil are not absolutely safe, I will not share them with you. I will destroy most of the items and leave a few for tracking. As long as the other party does not leave Tobesk, I will We'll be able to find it within a few days. If we're lucky, we'll go hunting for it this weekend and we won't let it escape."
"Doctor, besides me, there are two other girls who have been targeted by the demon. Do you have any means to protect yourself from the demon? It is effective in the short term, and Fannie has been injured, so the situation should be even worse now. OK."
Dorothy and Lesia's safety is guaranteed, mainly because of Princess Margaret.
"Fanny was injured?"
Dr. Schneider asked curiously, wanting to know how Shade did it. So Shade pulled out the badge hanging from his neck. The badge had just appeared halfway from the collar. The doctor who had sat down on the sofa again stood up and quickly turned to the back of the sofa:
"Okay, okay, there's no need to take it out. Just seeing that badge makes me feel like I've been exposed to the midsummer noon sun."
The doctor said with lingering fear:
"Is this a magical item from the Five Gods Church?"
He was very surprised:
"I have only heard of this level of magical items. Even regional bishops may not have one. The magical items enshrined in the Holy See all year round are not necessarily better than this. If Panny If you are stupid enough to touch it directly, you may be seriously injured by this thing. In fact, this itself can protect you from demons."
The doctor reminded, but now the bone badge made by Priest August has been integrated with the "Witch Detection" badge. If Shade gives this to Princess Margaret, as soon as Miss Sylvia appears, The princess is first scalded, and then immediately guesses that something is wrong with the dishonest detective.
"Is there any other way?"
Xia De asked, the doctor thought for a while:
"I can give you an alchemy item I made myself. It is not very effective in resisting powerful evil spirits and demons like human pus and arsonists, but if it is the multiplication demon this time, it should have a certain effect. ."
The so-called "alchemy item" is a dark cloth belt, the material seems to be linen. Although it is pitch black, if you look carefully you can see some dark rune traces in the black. This is an alchemical item made by Dr. Schneider himself using printing and dyeing techniques. As a correspondence student at the School of Mechanical Engineering, he must master knowledge of forging, chemistry, printing and dyeing, metal cutting, heraldry, etc.
In addition to the cloth belt packed in the box, the doctor also gave Shade a wooden key.
"Time key?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"When we were trading on the black market a few days ago, someone else paid me a debt, so I just gave this to you. Only you in our group can use this, and it counts as the intelligence fee for bringing the devil's news. Wait until we find that Devil, let’s talk about the loot.”
Xia De thought for a while and put the key in his pocket:
"I should be at home these days. Doctor, if you find the devil, tell me immediately. Don't delay this matter."
"Don't worry, I'm more anxious than you are."
The doctor smiled. He and Shade separated at the intersection of Roentgen Street and took different carriages to their respective destinations. Although Dr. Schneider hasn't had particularly good luck, Shade believes in his ability to capture demons.
When Shade rushed home from the east of the city, the blonde girl had already returned with her clothes. When Shade came to the second floor, she was cooking in the kitchen humming a light tune.
Hearing Shade's footsteps, the cat, who was squatting on the dining table watching Dorothy cook, ran towards the door, but soon returned to the kitchen.
Lecia's carriage will come to pick up Shad soon, so the two of them had dinner at home together. At the dinner table, Shade told Dorothy that the devil's problem should be solved soon, and he was very confident about it. The blonde girl didn't care much about it. Instead, she asked about the time key in Shade's hand. This time again What era does it correspond to.
"This must be the key to the Fifth Age. The person who sold the key said that it corresponds to the early part of the Fifth Age, probably around the year 1000 of the Fifth Age. I am not interested in knowing the more precise time. After all, it was used once Know everything."
He poked little Mia's back with the key. After the key touched the cat, Shade turned it, causing the cat to bark twice in dissatisfaction, probably complaining that Shade was disturbing the meal again. Got it.
Winter nights always arrive very early, and by the time the gas lamps on St. Teresa's Square turn on, the snow has already stopped. Dorothy arranged Shade's clothes herself, and then asked him to go out as soon as possible so as not to keep Lesia waiting too long.
This kind of urging made foreigners very strange, but he still set out at about 6:30, and waited at the entrance of Hunter Street for the carriage sent by Lesia, and the carriage took him directly to Maria The side entrance of the Queen's Opera House.
The servant who had been waiting for a long time led Shade from the hidden staircase on the side directly into the box that could only be used by members of the royal family. When Shade arrived, although tea, snacks and fruits had been prepared in the box, Lesia had not arrived yet.
