The Whispering Verses Chapter 1845: Mechanical prayer
"It was the long-haired Luvia who gave Luvia the strength and tips to help Audrey and Megan? But why"
【You really don’t understand? 】
"She" smiled softly in my ear.
Audrey was astonished and checked Megan's arms, which were revealed by the birthmarks. After taking them back, when she looked at Luvia, there was a little more respect in her eyes. Before meeting this rumored fortune teller, she originally thought about overpowering him in terms of momentum, otherwise she might be "bullied" by him like Carina.
At this time, her mentality changed. Luvia Anat was very friendly to her, and although the other party was not strong, she was definitely not ordinary. She pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, so the girl with purple eyes said softly:
"The story in the future is still very long. I can see the arc of destiny. There will be more and more dangers and tests. Shade needs the power of the witches."
"Yes."
Audrey nodded, looking at the person in front of her with her golden eyes, somewhat understanding what other witches said about Luvia:
"Xia De is really lucky to be the first to meet you."
This made Luvia a little embarrassed, so she looked at Shade:
"Didn't I prepare a gift this morning?"
"What? Oh, yes."
Shad took out a small ruby butterfly pendant hanging on a silk thread from his pocket, patted off little Mia's claws, and handed it to Luvia.
Luvia motioned for Audrey to lower her head, and then hung it around her neck with her own hands:
"This is the pendant that was blessed by the Church of the Twin Gods, the old gods of the Fifth Age. It is most suitable for you, give it to you as a gift."
This gift came from this morning's [God's Gift Box]. Although it is only an ancient magical item and not a relic, it is also an extraordinary gift that Shade received. Because there were traces of the twin gods' magic, Shade was familiar with them, so he recognized them easily. As for the task of this gift, it is to observe the butterflies carefully within this week. It's easy, it's spring.
Audrey and Megan accepted the gift, holding the new accessories around their necks with their right hands, and suddenly turned around and looked behind them. The eleven-ring witch's life ring was fully revealed. The huge pressure made the girls in the basement retreat. At the same time, the black iron-colored whispering aura was concentrated on the surface of her life ring. The new whispering spirit rune - red butterfly, Engraved on her life ring.
The witch looked at this scene in disbelief. Her eleven rings lacked the "whisper" and had been stuck for many years. At this time, the spiritual runes were complete and the twelve-ring road was open to her. And once the level of the ring warlock is promoted, it means that the level improvement of the witch is no longer an insurmountable difficulty:
"Is it that easy?"
She was stunned, then took back the life ring, turned around and thanked Luvia softly:
".Sister Luvia."
The strange way of addressing her made the purple-eyed girl smile even more. She smiled and shook her head to indicate that it was nothing. So the agitated Audrey left here temporarily and went to the room upstairs to change out of the damaged clothes.
When she left, Luvia looked at Shade with a somewhat proud expression. She rarely had this expression on her face:
"Don't worry, you can face other things. I will arrange things at home. Although I don't have the power like you, I can still handle housework without any problem."
Purple eyes looked at him, and Shade felt like he saw two people at the same time.
The weather in Green Lake City this Monday is very strange. Although it is rainy in the Green Lake area in spring, and it has rained four days a week since the sowing month, the clouds covered the sky this morning and the air was so oppressive that it was suffocating. The feeling is still a bit unusual.
It is like a sign before a storm is coming, but it is obvious that such extreme weather conditions are unlikely to occur in the Green Lake area this season.
I met Iluna at ten o'clock in the morning. She met Shade and Luvia in the room on the third floor, and greeted Luvia as happily as Shade. After sitting down, Shade informed Luvia about the view that Iluna raised yesterday about "family integration does not necessarily require everyone":
"The witches all think Iluna's idea is correct, and I also think this point of view makes sense."
Luvia was quite surprised to hear this information, and then praised Iluna for her active thinking:
"It makes sense, Iluna, how did you come up with the idea? It seems that we have underestimated you before, maybe we should let you make plans in the future."
The seventeen-year-old girl smiled reservedly, but was embarrassed to discuss more on this topic, so she took out a small bag:
"You can use divination later to verify the correctness of the idea, and if Laplace Klein Howard is excluded, whether other Edwards fusions can also become the selected candidates, and what is the upper limit of missing fusions. Don't worry about coins Look, I asked my former friends to help get three special coins from the Holy See. These were recently seized from a small stronghold of the [Truth Society]. They are very rare. The Creation Church is willing to spend a lot of money. Buy them at a high price."
The small gray cloth pocket contained three identical round coins. These were not any relic coins that Shade had ever seen, but Luvia recognized them at a glance:
"It's actually them? [Mechanical Prayer]."
"That doesn't sound like the name of a coin."
Xia De said, twisting a coin to check, and then unexpectedly found that this thing was quite heavy. Although the volume is about the same as a one-shilling silver alloy coin, its weight is almost equivalent to five one-shilling coins stuck together, which means it has an extremely high density.
Both sides are gray and silvery in color. One side has a strange mechanism similar to a steam engine, and the other side has a thumbs up sign on the right hand. On the side edge of the coin, there is an ancient engraving:
【Praise to metal! Praise the machine! Praise to the * of all *!]
The text on the sides of the three coins all appear to be completely missing, which means that this kind of relic itself is like this.
"Secretkeeper-level relic [Mechanical Prayer]. Holding this coin and passing by an activated machine, whether it is a steam machine or other machinery, as long as the machine itself has a certain degree of complexity, the person holding the coin will not be affected by it. The coin is thrown towards the machine in a controlled manner, and as long as the coin itself is not intercepted, it will definitely enter the machine through the gap."
Iluna explains what this is:
"People who throw coins will think that this is a customary 'blessing ceremony'. In fact, we can't find this custom anywhere. As for the coins that entered the inside of the machine, about 50% There is a possibility of jamming the machinery, causing irreparable mechanical damage; there is about a 25% probability of directly causing the machinery to explode, even if the machine does not have the ability to explode originally; there is a ~20% probability of nothing happening, but even if the machinery itself is dismantled, it will The coin cannot be retrieved; in the end, there is about a 5% chance that something will happen inside the machine."
“This roughly refers to enhancing the operating efficiency and reliability of the machinery itself without significantly changing the internal structure of the machinery itself.”
Luvia considered the words and said the most valuable effect of this relic:
"That's why Iluna said just now that the Church of Creation has purchased this kind of coin at a very high price all year round. However, this is not something that can be used casually for experiments. The 25% probability of explosion is almost equivalent to that of a non-Thirteenth Ring coin. A high-level warlock's full blow in the non-sublimated word state. Moreover, no matter what effect is triggered, anyone who throws the coin will transform from a flesh-and-blood creature to a mechanical life at this time. , the mechanical life itself only has the instinct to assemble and throw bombs out of any material, which is a very dangerous thing."
Since the information is so detailed, it means that the Creation Church has conducted quite in-depth research on this relic.
"So, the church will use death row prisoners to test the effects of relics?"
Xia De asked curiously, but he didn't mind it very much. For unknown relics, the characteristics must be clarified before they can be safely contained, but it is impossible to teach people to experiment.
Iluna blinked:
"We will not discuss this issue."
"In short, plus the [Shadow Iron Coin] and [Home Coin] left over from last time, as well as the two [Fanatical Believer's Soul Coin] that Shade got from who knows where last week, we have here 7 coins.”
Seven coins were placed on the coffee table in front of the three of them. Little Mia sniffed them in turn as if patrolling her territory, and then left with her tail swung.
"We must leave one or two as a backup to prevent other accidents. But it is enough to figure out some thorny issues now. The issues Iluna just mentioned are very valuable. Although I don't think, Without Edwards' ancestor, others can complete E Pluribus Unum, but give it a try after all."
As she spoke, she picked up a [Soul Coin of a Fanatic Believer]:
"I can't directly divine the chosen one, but I can divine whether someone is not the chosen one, so I'm just giving it a try."
The coin is tossed and nothing happens. Luvia thought for a moment, then picked up another identical coin and threw the two coins high into the sky.
The coin turned into dust as it fell, and then the dust dissipated invisible. Luvia opened her eyes and answered Shade and Iluna's doubts:
"No, he must be the first candidate for the chosen one in space. He is the core of the family. But this is not a waste of coins. I divined the upper limit of the missing fusion, 21 of the Edwards family. A maximum of 4 members can be missing. ”
Shad nodded, and Iluna wondered whether there were other "survivors" besides the witch who escaped in the unknown sixth era time and space. As for Megan Edwards and Audrey Edwards being able to escape at that time, she guessed that it was the speaker of the [Witch Parliament] who took action personally. There were only 13 people in the Great Witch, and it was impossible for the Great Witch of Time to care about the life and death of the members of the Parliament.
