Magus Tech Chapter 501: The Feather of Truth
In the following days, Richard settled down in the city of Florence.
The first thing to do after settling down is to try to find the other party according to the clues left by the cat slave girl Heidi's letter.
But Florent has great advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that without specific information, it is too difficult to simply find someone. Rao even hired a large number of people, and let everyone brave the cold wind to search for people on the street, looking for things related to the mark, but they still couldn't find it.
After the initial period of efforts failed, he had to lower his expectations. While asking the employer to continue to work hard and tell him any news immediately, he started to get busy with other things, such as research projects, Like the secret of the Dark Lord.
After all, he came to the North, Moore, and Florent not only to meet the cat slave girl, but also for other purposes.
In this way, time goes by day by day, and the whole cold winter slowly slips away—it is already the end of the year when I come to Florence—the snow moon in December, the ice in January After the freezing month of February, it's March.
March, the warm moon.
According to the East Coast tradition, March, April, and May are spring every year, and the rest of the seasons follow in turn.
This month, the beginning of the month.
Florence, corner.
A dilapidated stone building stood tall, with cracks on the walls, and it looked like it would collapse at any moment, burying the people who lived inside and those who passed by. Pedestrians who pass by this stone building dare not stop at all, for fear of bad luck. Almost no one thought that there would be another scene under this stone building.
The basement of the stone building is a secret underground hall, about 300 square meters in size. chairs, about half of which are occupied by people.
Everyone who sits wears a cloak to cover their faces and prevent being recognized. Occasionally, he raised the wooden signs and announced the numbers one by one, but he also used a false voice and was extremely cautious.
And on the wooden platform, there is a thin man wearing a shiny dress covered with glass shards, talking loudly, introducing items one by one, trying to make people in the audience feel comfortable buying desire.
Obviously this is an auction.
To be precise, this is a gray auction on the verge of breaking the law.
About half a month ago, Li Cha learned of the existence of this auction through contacts with some people, and came here after spending a lot of effort to get the invitation letter.
To be honest, he wouldn't have come if it wasn't for some missing materials. Because this place is really informal, the auctioneer will basically not guarantee any interests of the bidders except for collecting money to sell things, so the auctioneers will try their best to protect their identities.
Even so, there were still bidders in the previous auctions. They were followed as soon as they went out, and then they were ambushed and attacked, and everything on them was robbed—not even their clothes.
Because of this negative influence, those who dare to participate in the auction now are those who have confidence in their own strength. There are very few ordinary people, most of them are wizard apprentices, and there are also some wandering wizards.
Everyone was extremely vigilant, sitting quietly in their seats, staring at the wooden platform. But in fact, only less than one-third of the attention is on the wooden platform, and the other seven-point attention is on the people sitting next to him. If you want to find out whether the person sitting next to you has any unruly thoughts about yourself, and whether you should act first after a while.
Li Cha was sitting in a corner of the auction house, feeling the tense atmosphere around him, he couldn't help shaking his head. He is not very nervous here. On the one hand, he is very assured of his own strength, and on the other hand, the white feather in his arms gave him a special reminder.
Yes, White Feather, reminded him.
After a winter, although he didn't fully understand what the white feather was, he also figured out some functions - there are two main functions.
The first one is to break the illusion that has been seen before. According to the test, the white feather has a strong defensive effect against some aggressive and confusing spiritual spells. It can be said that as long as you wear a white feather, you will basically not suffer from mental spells.
The second one is related to spirit, or emotions. White Feather can feel some obvious malice and kindness emanating from it, resulting in some changes.
He had already noticed this change on the ship at sea, but it was impossible to draw conclusions because of too little data. Now after a winter, it is determined that if White Feather feels clear kindness, it will become hot, and if it feels clear malice, it will turn cold.
In a sense, the white feather is equivalent to a kind of identification device, which can quickly determine whether a person is good or bad through cold and heat. Of course, if a villain hides his emotions and heart very well, it will be difficult for White Feather to detect it, but this kind of situation is rarely seen.
Breaking illusions and identifying good and evil are the two major functions of White Feather.
To sum it up, I can use two words to describe Bai Yu - pure, and one word - true.
White Feather has a certain meaning, as if it exists specially to distinguish between illusion and reality, camouflage and friendliness.
Li Cha is not sure about the mentality of the clown in giving him this gift, and he is not sure whether the white feather has a more important role, but as far as he knows now, the white feather makes him easily think of it as one of the legends of the earth. Item - Feather of Truth.
The Feather of Truth!
The Feather of Truth comes from ancient Egyptian myths and legends.
Legends, after everyone died in ancient Egypt, they would enter the world of the dead called "Duet", where they met Anubis, the jackal-headed **** of death.
Anubis had a scale of judgment to judge a person's good and evil. He put the heart of a dead person on one end of the scale of judgment ~IndoMTL.com~ and put a heart on the other end of the scale of judgment Feather of Truth - Taken from the goddess of truth and order "Maat".
If a person is kind, his heart will be light, higher than the feather of truth, and he can get eternal life. If a person is evil and does all kinds of bad things, his heart will be heavy, he will be lower than the feather of truth, and he will be punished as he should.
In Li Cha's view, the white feather is now being used by him against other people, which is considered a weakened version of "judgment". There may be some loopholes, and it will not be deceived like the legendary Anubis, but it will not be too bad, and it will fully meet the daily needs.
Therefore, he decided to call the white feather the "Feather of Judgment". He would not rely on this thing to judge whether a person is good or bad, but it could be used to determine the complexity of the surrounding environment to a large extent.
For example, now, through the coolness on the surface of "Judgment Feather" from time to time, he can confirm that there are at least three people nearby who harbor malice towards him. However, this malice is only at the lowest level, and it has not reached the level of killing and stealing goods. It seems that he is currently safe and can continue to stay at ease.
Thinking like this, he looked towards the wooden platform.
