The Whispering Verses Chapter 100: The burping cat
According to the instructions of the thaumaturgy [Food of Fullness], Shade must choose an edible substance and start eating it from that night on, so that he can complete four meals before midnight.
There is a wide range of food to choose from, but it must meet the basic condition of being able to achieve a full state with normal use. In other words, things like northwest wind will not work, because even if you drink the wind, it will be difficult to drink until you are full. But theoretically speaking, if it is a handful of dust, as long as Shade dares to eat it, it is also in line with the goal of thaumaturgy.
But Shade wanted to pick something "approachable" and accessible everywhere, so he ended up choosing water. Among the three simple spells he mastered, there was the ability to directly summon water.
"I hope I don't die from bloating."
So he began to boil hot water with a kettle over and over again. During this period, he patted away the cat who was squatting by the pool and wanted to stretch his head to drink from the faucet. He was very worried about his physical problems.
Put the learning materials including the stomach of viviparous animals, lanugo hair, bezoar, etc. into the kettle. After soaking them thoroughly, stir and recite the mantra, and then start drinking water over and over again.
When the amount of water consumed exceeds a certain limit, drinking water itself will become a very painful process. Shade didn't know what the so-called "full state" was, so he could only drink as much as possible.
Later, even the ignorant cat thought that something might happen to Shade if he drank any more, so he stood at the dinner table and used his little paws to stop him from touching the water glass. When Shade wanted to push the cat away, little Mia slapped Shade on the chest with another paw.
The small orange cat was not very powerful, but it still made Shade almost spit out a mouthful of water, so he thought it must be full at this time.
"Oh, I even got water poisoning."
This was what he was thinking at the time.
By the time I finally finished drinking water for the fourth time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Shade, who was holding the dining table, had never felt that he hated water so much, but he still mustered up the energy to take the last step.
He took a clean glass goblet from the cupboard. After carefully pouring a small amount of water into the bottom of the cup, Shade cut his finger with a fruit knife and dripped the blood into the water.
After letting it sit for a while, call out the life ring in the steam mist, and aim the luster of the [Gluttony] rune at the water glass. The blood dispersed in the water immediately gave off a strange luster, and Shade immediately picked up the water glass and drank it all.
Then he rushed into the bathroom with a huge feeling of vomiting, and it took him a long time to come out wiping his mouth with a towel.
"Meow~"
Little Mia squatted on the dining table and looked at him worriedly. Shade reluctantly smiled at the cat and sat down again. Pour a small amount of water into the glass again, and point your finger at the glass. As the silver light flashes, the water surface also appears with a sheen that represents the power of the spiritual runes.
Although he had vomited a lot just now, Shade didn't want to drink water yet. So he poured the silvery water on his cut finger. Immediately, the wound on his finger squirmed and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was better than [Cindia's Silver Moon Gift]. Much more, it can be used as a good healing ability.
What she said is indeed right. The power of the spiritual runes obtained by swallowing the evil god's divinity is indeed extraordinary.
She chuckled in his ear.
"Unfortunately, [Full Food] can only treat physical damage. With two healing abilities, the only thing I worry about now is mental damage during the day."
Xia De thought to himself, and then saw little Mia lowering her head and licking the silvery water dripping on the dining table.
The orange cat suddenly raised his head and looked at Shade, his furry cheeks upward, his amber eyes looked into the detective's eyes, and his whiskers trembled due to the movement of raising his head. Its big eyes are very beautiful.
Then——
Hiccup~
Mia the cat suddenly burped and tried to cover her mouth with her right front paw, but she still couldn't suppress the hiccups. So little Mia fell into a state of being angry with herself and rolled around on the dining table, exposing her soft white belly.
"Sure enough, you can achieve the 'full' state by using some...can't it only be useful to yourself?"
Shad suddenly realized this, and immediately understood that his special blasphemy [Gluttony] not only enhanced the power, but even made the food made by thaumaturgy useful to other creatures.
It’s just that in the remaining liquid in the water glass, the silver light has weakened to the point where it is almost invisible, indicating that the special blasphemy rune has enhanced the effect of thaumaturgy and expanded the scope of application, but it still cannot be produced like a magic potion. Create a potion that lasts for a long time.
In other words, Shard cannot make a profit through this.
[The effect of thaumaturgy can make a cat full with just one lick, which is also related to your divine afterglow state. 】
The woman in her heart whispered in her ear, and Shade nodded:
"This is also very good. Although it is not an offensive ability, at least the survivability has been greatly enhanced. For offensive abilities, the moonlight is enough for the time being."
With a smile on his face, he happily picked up the cat that was still hiccupping. The bad-tempered cat immediately gave Shade a paw, but it knew how to control it, so it didn't even leave a white mark on the back of his hand.
On Wednesday morning, both Shade and little Mia couldn't eat breakfast because they were too full from drinking water last night. Even when faced with his favorite goat's milk, the orange cat still took a few licks and left the table. Shade did not receive two more bottles of milk this morning because the milk Detective Sparrow ordered from the Silver Parrot Milk Delivery Company had expired. If he still wants to drink it, he needs to order it from the milk company.
The news in newspapers is still not interesting.
There have been no reports of the weekend earthquake in the south of the city, and now the front pages of newspapers are reporting that Queen Diana will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the east hall of Tobesk Station next week.
In the advertising area behind the Tobesk Daily News, there are several wanted notices for Ridwich Field. This also reminded Shade of the firm's advertisement, and he planned to get some advice from Miss Louisa the next time he saw her.
"If it's a newspaper that Miss Louisa is familiar with, maybe the advertising fee can be discounted."
He actually had this idea.
After the big incident at Lakeview Manor, life seemed to have returned to peaceful daily life. Illegal organizations are lurking, and the Zhengshen Church’s current focus is not “the masked man under the silver moon.” Probably, Tobesk has finally been able to calm down a bit in the past few weeks.
This also made Shade very relaxed, and the tense days were uncomfortable. In this age of steam, he actually prefers to see more, rather than always competing with others to death.
Not long after breakfast, someone came to visit.
The first person who came to the detective agency was Baron Lavender, a Rhodes card enthusiast. The target was of course the [Ancient Fairy Tale·Match Girl].
