The Whispering Verses Chapter 1350: Intelligence and the House of Nobles
Chapter 1350 Intelligence and the Noble House
"Corrupted souls, corrupted earth, and event-type secret keeper-level relics [Noble House]."
The bearded man said, sitting in the snow and looking at Shade. He is a sixth-level man himself, and his injuries this time are not light. Even if Shade doesn't restrain them, it will be difficult for them to escape from Shade.
"Event-type relics. Let’s talk briefly about them."
The cultist nodded and supported his body on the snow with one hand. When he looked into the fence gate, he still retained a look of fear:
"You can understand that the ghosts in Watson Manor are now controlled by an ancient ghost from the fifth era. They still remember what happened in their lifetime, but think that they are someone from the fifth era. As long as a member of a noble family enters this place at an unknown time, the male will be given the status of a servant. If he cannot find a way to recall his identity, he will become a slave forever and serve in this haunted manor. "
"That's it"
When he said this, Shade remembered this relic. He heard Dr. Schneider mention it when chatting:
"Although it is a secret keeper level, it will basically not have any impact on the outside world. All the impact is limited to a certain house, like a farce set in the previous era, but correspondingly, as long as you don't follow If the outside world breaks in, it will be difficult to find out what is going on inside. Moreover, this relic will not give the affected person any power. The only difficulty is that they cannot forget their identity. I remember that the way to expel the relic is to get rid of the relic among a group of ghosts. Therefore, the larger the scene, the more ghosts there are, and the more difficult it is. Fortunately, it is a secret keeper level, but it will be troublesome if it is a sage level. ”
Xia De nodded with satisfaction, and then said to them:
"The thing you are wary of is also my opponent. You are lucky, I need? Sorry? Your religious order to convey the message - that thing is afraid of the special cross, and the so-called weapons in the manor, it is a pity, It can't do much harm to it."
Xia De said regretfully:
"If you want to fight it, my suggestion is the weapons of the witchers of the Third Age. I think you and your allies should know this more or less."
He took back the Chain of Sin, but did not cancel the [Light of Imprisonment] for the time being:
"It only takes one person to deliver the message, but you are lucky. I don't have time to deal with you now. I will kill you here. If you are also absorbed by this manor, you will be in trouble."
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger:
"Buying life money."
The three looked at each other, and the bearded man in the lead took out a bottle first:
"Holy water No. 2 is not pure pure water, it is diluted. We originally planned to use it to deal with the ghosts of the manor. Unexpectedly, the situation here is so complicated. This is not a simple haunted manor. Although this bottle of holy water is useful, it The effect is not big."
Holy Water No. 2 is a real scarce commodity, and this bottle is probably circulated on the black market.
"This is all I have."
The man who vomited blood gave Shade a book. This is a book written by a ring magician. It records the story of the Fourth Age. By reading it, it is possible to obtain thaumaturgy or spiritual runes - "The Secret of Earthquake: Worm Colony".
As for the young man with yellow hair, he shiveringly put his hand into his pocket, and then his expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he threw a shining metal charm at Shade:
"Explosive Talisman! Go to hell! I will never surrender, for the glory of my Lord!"
"No!"
The bearded man wanted to stop him, but his voice was drowned in the explosion.
"Very interesting."
Of course this kind of attack will not hurt Shade. Shade, who came behind the three of them through [Raglai's Jump], shook his head and said. While the young man turned his head in horror, Shade stretched out his hand. Pointing to his mouth:
"Thorns of the Moon!"
Blood-colored vines emerged from the soil and densely penetrated his mouth, nose, ears and eyes. Even without using the vine to exert its blood-sucking effect, the vine had already pierced his head. When he fell, his entire head was wrapped in vines.
Blood flowed out from the gaps in the vines, staining a large area of snow red.
"This thaumaturgy can indeed be used in this way."
Xia De thought to himself and looked around:
"Very good, his soul was not snatched away by the manor. This is good news."
After speaking, he looked at the other two people who were surprised:
"Since you have already paid for your life, I won't embarrass you. Just take his body and leave. I will definitely kill you next time we meet."
[Light of Confinement] is still not cancelled. Shade plans to wait until they are far away and let the thaumaturgy automatically fail.
So the two men helped each other stand up, then picked up the body and prepared to leave. Before they left, Shade asked again:
"I heard about the Zhengshen Church's raid on your stronghold, and I have speculations about what you want to do. Although I don't think you can succeed, I still want to ask, are you really sure you want to do this?"
"This is the glory of being a believer."
The bearded man said, then he tensed up and dragged the body forward with his companions. Fortunately, the expected attack from behind did not appear, and they just left.
"There is no cure."
Xia De muttered, and as "her" chuckled, he took out the ring from his pocket and put it on his hand. Then he picked up the suitcase and pushed open the fence door again.
Only this time, before Shade could touch the door, the door opened by itself, as if Shade was welcome to enter.
He raised his eyebrows:
"Well, let me see what the Watson family has found to deal with Stone Oxenfurt and that devil."
So he walked in calmly.
The "Crazy Land" in this area still needs to find the core of the problem to solve it. When Shade entered the courtyard, he felt that the originally gloomy sky suddenly turned into night, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Some kind of force seems to be trying to change Sha De's perception of his own identity. Unfortunately, Sha De is the most resistant to this kind of power to manipulate the mind. He carried his suitcase, turned up his collar, and trudged through the courtyard in the dark night against the heavy snow, arrived at the door of the mansion, and then knocked directly on the door.
Dong dong dong~
The heavy sound seemed to echo inside the house, so much so that even the snow on the eaves was falling. Feeling colder and colder, Shade slowly exhaled and saw the long dragon-like smoke drifting away with the wind.
The door, which was in decay because it had not been repaired for three years, was soon pushed open through a gap. Shade could only vaguely see the light and shadow of the spirit body, followed by a woman's voice:
"Who came to visit the Watson family?"
Before Xia De could answer, his originally respectful voice turned vicious:
"Oh, it's actually a man. Who asked you to break in here casually, or are you the humble servant who escaped?"
As she spoke, some great malice began to exert its influence on Shade. Shade frowned slightly and asked softly:
"Can the Watson family neglect the emperor's special envoy like this?"
"Special envoy?"
The woman’s voice became a little shriller, but the malice disappeared a lot:
"Which emperor's envoy is this? Can you prove your identity?"
"I am the ruler of Widun and the most loyal servant of the Witch Emperor Violet. This is the seal she gave me."
As he spoke, Shade showed the ring he was wearing on his hand. The band of the ring is quite thick, and both the ring surface and the band are made of gold. The pattern on the ring is a complex symbol that resembles a curved cross. This is a power ring. In addition to the decorative function of the ring itself, it is also a seal. This was a "souvenir" given to Shad by Miss Violet when he completed his final adventure in the Lost Lake in Fifth Era 5177.
The Keeper-level relic "Noble Family" symbolizes the aristocratic tradition of the Fifth Era and does not specifically refer to any point in time. Therefore, this relic identifies the identity of any era in this era. Of course, not just anything can be used as a status symbol, it must be a status symbol truly obtained by the ancestors, such as inherited rings, seals, medals, etc.
Although Shade didn't know what his ancestor in this body had done in the Fifth Era, fortunately, he himself had gained many identities in the Fifth Era.
The reason why this precious ring is in Shade's pocket instead of in the basement of his home is because he exchanged it for the relic on Mia's tail a few days ago, and then turned it into a toy and put it in his pocket. .
Sure enough, just as Shade thought, when he showed the ring in his hand to the crack in the door, the maid immediately said in panic:
"Oh, it turns out you are really the emperor's special envoy, please wait a moment."
As she spoke, she moved towards the inside of the mansion. Because she was a ghost, she couldn't hear the footsteps at all.
Soon, the crack in the door was once again illuminated by the light of the soul itself, and this time the door was completely opened. I saw that the huge foyer was in a dilapidated state, with mold and dust clinging to every corner, and the few remaining paintings and picture frames on the walls were all gray.
The dim light of the gas lamp created large shadows in the foyer, and what stood on the moldy carpet that was almost integrated with the ground to greet Shade was a transparent soul dressed as a maid, and a man on crutches. The black corpse on his back was severely deformed, with a putrid stench on his body. When he spoke, there seemed to be a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat:
"Welcome to Watson Manor, I am the butler here. Distinguished guest, I don't know the reason for your visit."
"I was going to deliver an urgent letter to the Serksess Medical School. I encountered heavy snow while passing through the local area. I hope I can disturb you for one night."
Xia De said that even though he had the ring to prove his identity, he couldn't just talk about his backstory. Entering this manor is equivalent to entering a story that is based on reality but does not exist, and the story naturally needs to be reasonable.
