Chapter 2898 The Strengthened Holy Sword (please subscribe for more updates)
"Detective Hamilton, we are in need of kind and pious people like you in this era."
Bishop Owen smiled and patted Shade on the shoulder, and the people passing by also smiled and greeted Shade. Then the old bishop motioned to Shade to follow him:
"The church plans to take advantage of this winter to build another public welfare home in the city to take in homeless children. How about naming this welfare home after you? Would you rather use 'Hamilton' or 'Hamilton'? 'Rejed'?"
"No need for this, no, Bishop Owen, I'm not being polite, please don't name it after me."
By the time Shade finally said goodbye to the enthusiastic Bishop Owen and met Priest August, it was almost lunch time that day.
Priest Augustus didn’t seem to have any leisure time. Even though the number of believers coming to worship at noon decreased, he was still leading the children in the choir to rehearse the hymns to be sung in the afternoon.
Shade then waited aside for a while, and then walked towards the priest when the children went to have lunch. Priest August then gestured to Shade, and the two met twenty minutes later in the basement potion workshop not far from the church.
Priest Augustus changed out of the robe he usually wore at this time, and rarely changed into ordinary clothes. The pants were black, the brown coat had elegant silver buttons, and he even held a hand A cane, he is dressed like an old-school gentleman:
"This afternoon, I am going to attend the funeral of an old friend. He does not believe in [Mr. Dawn], so it is not appropriate for me to wear that robe."
"Are they good friends?"
Shad asked curiously. Although this involved the privacy of the priest, they had a very good relationship, and Priest August was willing to share his life with him:
"It's not very good, but at least we give each other gifts every New Year's Day. You know, at my age, the friends I met when I was young are either dead or waiting for the call of death."
He put the pipe that he wiped clean with his handkerchief back into his pocket. Smoking is absolutely not allowed in the potions workshop:
"Death is an inevitable process. Although I regret the passing of my old friend, I accept the fact calmly. Speaking of which, coming to me this time should not be a big trouble, right?"
Xia De then weighed it:
"It's not too big. I just encountered an ancient evil creature that can resurrect from the dead through its own kind, so I want to ask you for advice on how to eliminate immortality."
Priest Augustus took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then nodded slowly:
"Is it a bug?"
"How do you know?"
"This ability to resurrect through groups often appears in some special bugs. Let me tell you more specifically. I need to arrive at the public cemetery outside the city before 2:30 pm, so you still have two hours of time.”
It is not troublesome to briefly explain the origin and ability of the "Paradox Worm", but Shade still can't explain exactly how the "Watcher" appeared, and Priest August can only understand it through his description:
"Generally speaking, except for conceptual abilities, other methods of cutting off immortality are targeted. One method can deal with immortality caused by strong vitality, but it may not be able to deal with relics. Immortality caused by the whisper element, you should understand this."
"So, either we figure out the principle of the insect's resurrection from the dead and find a way to deal with it, or we use the conceptual method of 'cutting off the undead'? Priest, I know you must have a way."
Shad has great confidence in the old priest, and the latter really has a way:
"After the Battle of Moon Bay, the [Angel's Right Arm] is still in my hand. In recent months, I have taken advantage of the time to carry out a certain degree of transformation on that sword. After all, it is enough. It’s stronger, it should be considered strengthened.”
The long sword is here now, and it is hung on the wall by Priest Augustus like a decoration. When Shade looked over, he did not notice that the appearance of the long sword had changed.
"The origin of this sword is the Angel of Order, which makes it have a certain degree of resistance against non-order phenomena. Now with the blessing I have exerted, it can work against any 'immortal', but I have not seen it with my own eyes. If you can't get past that insect, you can't be sure that the power of this sword alone will be enough to prevent its resurrection."
The priest said and waved his hand, letting the [angel’s right arm] float in front of Shade:
“But according to your description, although the Paradox Bug is scary, it is not a death-type ancient evil, so its immortality should not be particularly strong. The principle of resurrection from the dead seems to be just a manifestation of the population effect.
This sword should be enough. If you think it is not enough, I can go to Vesta Glades to help. ”
Shad also considered asking the priest to go to the forest directly, but later felt that it was not necessary for the time being:
"Although thanks to Miss Danister's protection, the college did not discover that Dr. Schneider and the rest of us had left Tobesk for a long time, we still have to keep someone here.
Also, Priest, you are the only one who has never been to Vesta Grove. That forest has proven to be the eyes and ears of something, so don't venture into the woodland unless it's last minute. If I need you to go, it should be the final battle. ”
Priest August also understood Shade’s thoughts, so he did not insist on helping.
Then he asked Shade about the effectiveness of the batch of "angel elixirs". Many of those elixirs were used by the Witch's followers the night the [Dream Tree] invaded Vista City. Shade also asked them about their specific feelings:
"It's not the same as holy water. The effect of holy water takes effect immediately and can bring people back from the edge of serious illness. However, the effect of elixir to replenish the spirit is not instant. It is more like "replenishing the spirit" than "replenishing the spirit". It accelerates the regeneration speed of the spirit within a certain period of time.
The ones who used those potions were all the girls in the middle circle. They said that when the spirit was almost completely exhausted, a tube of elixir would take about three minutes to fully restore the spirit, and if you cast a spell during this period, it would cause recovery. Slower.
But if the spirit is only partially consumed, the recovery speed will be much faster. It is almost equivalent to the fact that the less spirit that needs to be replenished, the faster the recovery speed will be. ”
The priest carefully wrote down these things in his notebook:
"If possible, it would be better to find some men as a comparison group. At present, the effect of the medicine is not much different from what I expected. The subsequent adjustments should only focus on the taste and whether it can be concentrated."
"There is also an interval between medication. Now the angel elixir can only be taken once in a short period of time, right?"
Shad reminded again, but the priest believed that this situation was difficult to overcome, at least with his current potion level.
Now that he has returned to Tobesk, Shade is in no hurry to leave here. He first sent [Angel's Right Arm] back home, and then took little Mia to Old John's **** shop. He hasn't had time to visit again in the past two weeks. This time he wanted to thank Old John for the [Forest Hermits Group].
"I don't believe you came all the way from the city center to me just to say thank you."
The old man behind the counter said without raising his head. He was wearing folding telescopic glasses.
The glasses have a metal frame, small lenses, and a front-to-back retractable structure. The magnification can be adjusted by pulling out or folding during use. The old man wore glasses, held tweezers in each hand, and carefully fiddled with a brass pocket watch on the counter:
"You are a busy man now. I have heard that the Vesta Grove is now in chaos. The old **** cults emerging from all corners of the material world are moving there, and some are even moving there. Many religious orders that were thought to have disappeared have appeared."
"This is the church and the college summoning them, and it has nothing to do with me. But speaking of it, there are indeed other things to do this time."
He smiled and put the cat on his shoulder on the counter. The cat didn't run around and just lay next to Shade:
"Do you have any relics related to the 'Demon Hunter' here?"
Although the doctor said that [Demon Hunter's Notes] is enough, considering that he has the power of thirteen demons in his body, including even a very powerful one, Shade still wants to be cautious. Get more relics that can suppress demons:
"For example, [Demon Hunting Seal] is fine. I will buy as much as you have."
"[Demon Hunting Seal]?"
Old John raised his head and looked at him in surprise with his left eye without glasses. Because the retractable glasses on his right eye are still completely pulled out at this moment, he looks particularly like the "mechanical weirdo" mentioned in the story:
"As much as you want? Detective, why do you think I have such a relic? In your story, such evil things appear many times. You know better than me what the ring represents.
No, not even one. I won’t accept this kind of thing if it is given to me for free. If someone consigns this kind of relic to me, I will definitely beat him out. Isn’t your sword more effective than a seal? ? ”
"I encountered something else this time. If not, then there won't be. I didn't have any hope at the beginning."
In fact, in St. Byrons Comprehensive College, there should be other relics related to hunters besides the [Edgeless Blade]. But now that the demon in the Vista Grove has been eliminated, if Shade applies for such a relic again, even if it can be done through Miss Danister, the School of Library Management will definitely be suspicious.
Dr. Schneider has already been suspected by the academy. There is no need for him to create extraneous matters. What he needs most now is to keep this secret:
"Speaking of which, aren't the [Guiding Light Hermitage] going to send people to join in the fun this time in the woods? I know that forest is very dangerous, but you should also want to confirm what will happen next, right?"
