The Whispering Verses Chapter 1864: The declining religious orders

It is a very popular view that there must be corresponding reasons for God’s descent. The gods that Shade met in the past did all have their own reasons for appearing. For example, the God of Gamblers is responding to Mr. Riddle's invitation to gamble, the God of Vampires is holding a banquet, and the God of Journey is looking forward to interesting travel stories.

But thinking about this, it is worth thinking carefully about why the old **** "Golden Lord" appeared in the "Black Mist Camp".

What those high-dimensional beings value is very different from what mortals think. For example, [Vampire Duke Loal], who has had several contacts with Shade, planned two eras just for a cup of blood brew and wanted nothing else. This is completely incomprehensible to mortals. .

"Then the second question is, does your religious legend involve a camp covered with black mist?"

The two men looked at each other doubtfully, then shook their heads together:

"Sorry, there shouldn't be any."

"Okay, these are my questions."

Shad nodded and stood up. His goal had been achieved, but the older man stopped him:

"Sir, please wait a moment, are you interested in the magic we inherit?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to sell me something?"

He asked in surprise, and the younger man nodded:

"We are not willing to trade with anyone, but we see that you are a valuable trade partner."

He pointed to his eyes, and Shade found that his brown eyeballs had a faint light. This was probably a detective magic technique similar to [Visual Demon] and [Echo of Blood].

"If you are willing, why not first listen to what we plan to sell you."

Shade calculated his wealth. Since 1854, his largest income was the gold mine shares in the Randall Valley. Because the location and depth of the gold mine have been confirmed, the first output has been produced in just two months, but it has not yet been converted into cash and distributed to Shard.

In addition, when he and Iluna bumped into the flower girl's relics in the sewers of Randall Valley, they accidentally discovered a treasure from a hundred years ago. Part of that money was donated, and part was divided equally between Shade and Iluna. In addition, since this year, Shade has not had much expenses, so even though he spent 5,000 pounds in one go to invest in Miss Sylvia's business last year, he still has about 7,000 pounds in cash.

"Okay, what do you want to sell me?"

He then sat down again, and the older man took out a small, palm-sized notebook from his pocket:

"After our two observations, you are more suitable for the following three magical arts. Please believe in our judgment. Although we have been cursed and it has been difficult to make a fortune, we are still very accurate in judging whether others have a chance to make a fortune. ”

He coughed:

"Thumbacary-[Eating Gold]. Its function is to enhance one's physical strength and mental strength by swallowing gold.

After mastering this thaumaturgy, it has different characteristics according to the level of proficiency. For example, in the early stage, you can judge the purity of gold through the smell of the nose and the touch of the tongue; in the middle stage, you can treat injuries by swallowing gold, and even the residual limbs can be treated. Recovery; if you have mastered thaumaturgy for long enough and swallowed enough, in the final stage, you can even have an extremely tough and smooth metal film appear on the surface of your body to protect yourself, and you can use gold to replace most spellcasting materials. Once gold is added as a medium when casting a spell, the effect of the spell can be greatly enhanced. ”

Xia De nodded:

"The only drawback is that it requires pure gold."

"In addition, it can also lead to 'gold addiction', but it can be replaced by food by swallowing other metals. Oh, it can also cause metalization of internal organs, but it will not affect normal physiological functions.

The younger man said, looking at Shade expectantly:

"Are you interested?"

"Well, what's the second one?"

“Thumbacary-[Golden Cat]. This thaumaturgy requires our specially made golden cat statue, which we can sell to you cheaply.

Take the statue back to your long-term residence, arrange the ceremony as required, and have regular contact with it every day. In a complete ritual stage - about three weeks later, you can learn the passive thaumaturgy [Golden Cat] to permanently improve the luck in the place where you live, especially the luck in the direction of wealth. To give a simple example, if you play Rhodes with others at home, you will most likely not lose. ”

"Yeah, next one."

This thaumaturgy sounds very good, but Shade suspected that the two men in front of him wanted to make a fortune by selling "golden cat statues". What's more, he didn't think that the petty little Mia would allow him to place a golden cat-shaped statue at home and touch the statue every day.

"You are really picky, but it doesn't matter, we like guests like you. You will definitely be satisfied with the last one, [Treasure Object], with some inanimate ordinary object as the selected object, and the caster will The greed and cherishment of the item make the item gain extraordinary power based on its function and shape. For example, if you choose a ring, please don't leave. If you are not satisfied, we have other magic here."

Xia De finally understood that the sales ability of the believer of the God of Wealth now lags far behind that of the Black Mist Camp of the Fifth Era. If you want to get him to spend money, these temptations will not work.

Miss Danister was not surprised at all that Shade ended the conversation so quickly. Before the people from the Prophet Association left, she asked the fortune-tellers to take the two "businessmen" away, and asked Xiang Shade with a smile:

"Do they also want to sell you thaumaturgy?"

"Yes, the two of them said similar things to you just now?"

"Persuaded me to enrich the contents of the college library. As time passes, everything is changing. The Golden Order, which was so prosperous in the Fifth Age, eventually declined."

Believers of the old **** [Twin Gods] and believers of the old **** [Diastrophic Gate] now live in the Peace Church in Green Lake City, which is the safest cathedral in the entire Green Lake area. Although the city of Green Lake is lagging behind in economic development and the size of the church is not comparable to that of cities on the south coast, the city is quite old. In a mystical sense, ancient sometimes means powerful.

Shad accompanied Miss Daniste, helping her carry bags and hold materials. The professors at the college were not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Sha De, a ring warlock. Sha De was curious about how she explained her identity.

The group set off at around nine in the morning and arrived at their destination in just fifteen minutes by carriage. Professors from Zarath School of Literature and Serkses Higher Medical School also came to the church at about this time.

The three parties gathered together and exchanged greetings, and Shade also learned that the team led by Serkeses Medical College was the provost of the Thirteenth Ring who had appeared once in the Randall Valley, and was known as Professor Miller Stewart, who is the "Iron Punisher"; the team led by Zarath School of Literature this time is Professor Gost, the thirteen-ring warlock "Evocation Warlock" who appeared during the Battle of Pantanal, and Director of the College's Student Affairs Office, Professor Keller Scindia, the Thirteenth Ring "Rune Master".

By the way, Shad's healing ability [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] is said to have been created by this professor's ancestor.

The influence of the "Muttered Psalms" and the Chosen Ones is growing, and the teams of professors sent by the three major colleges for each incident are also getting larger and larger. There are currently three Thirteenth Rings in Zalas Academy of Literature, and now two are sent out at once, which can be considered a very bold decision. But this is also a helpless move. Since the Tobesk incident last summer, the enemies that have appeared in the struggle for the identity of the chosen ones and the disasters that are close to natural phenomena have gradually expanded in scope and intensity.

If it were not an emergency, the Zhengshen Church would not easily allow the Thirteenth Ring Road from the three major colleges to enter this area.

However, at least these have nothing to do with Shade now. He could tell that Miss Danister intended to let him know some professors from the other two colleges. When greeting each other, she also intended to introduce the high-level warlocks to him. Although the professors of Zarath and Serksese did not know Shad, they all gave Miss Daniste face.

In the territory of the church, the interests of the three major colleges can be regarded as a whole. After exchanging polite words and exchanging current information, the church also arranged a meeting with the believers of the Old God.

Because there are only a few Old God believers in total, they cannot talk to the three major colleges at once, so they communicate separately in order. In the first round, St. Byrons was assigned to the two believers of [Twin Gods], Zarath School of Literature was waiting, and Xerxes Higher Medical School went to meet the believers of the old **** - [Yahua Gate].

Shad is actually very interested in the believers of the [Twin Gods]. After all, even Grace and Helen can't tell whether they still exist. When they met, they discovered that they were actually two ordinary people, and they were two twin old women who looked older than Priest Augustus.

They were so old that the church sent someone to take care of them. Because they are already married and have many children and grandchildren, their surnames are also different.

When everyone sat down on the soft sofa, Miss Denister leaned forward slightly and chatted with them on behalf of St. Byrons. Shade also learned from this that they were very similar to the old **** - the old lady Ilar, the last high priest of the [Earth-Shaking Worm] Order. However, the old lady who lived near Coldwater Port was at least a ring warlock herself. , and found Miss Aurora, who was willing to help her keep the information passed down by the Order from generation to generation.

The last two believers of the [Twin Gods] Order were ordinary people from the beginning. Although some of the information of the Order was preserved by them, most of the valuable information has been lost. It is no wonder that even Grace and Helen It is believed that the Order no longer exists.
