The Whispering Verses Chapter 35: Sage-level relic [God’s Gift Box]
"Power? You are too weak. The power I have is not suitable for you."
This once again shows the strength of the other party, which Sha De is convinced of.
The woman paused for a moment before continuing to speak, as if she was thinking. The indoor temperature has returned to the same level as the corridor, indicating that the other party's mood has returned to normal:
“But I happen to have a good [Relic] in my hand, but its value is far less than that of the statue of the old god... No, it’s not the [Dark Box], it’s just the poet level (level 5) ). How about I give you a clerical-level (level 4) relic and tell you the secret of [Mercury Blood] to help you avoid danger in exchange for the address and the spell?"
"No problem, thank you for your generosity, ma'am."
Because there is no need to spend money to say nice words, Shade is happy to use the "Northern Common Language Gift Pack" in his mind to translate Chinese into otherworldly words with a translation accent to praise the other party.
But this time, Shade did not take the initiative to tell the content of the spell. Of course the woman inside the door knew what he meant:
"Recently, a sage-level [relic] appeared in Tobesk City."
The first sentence was a bit surprising. He thought the woman was going to talk about the Keeper-level relic [Fake Philosopher's Stone] related to [Mercury Blood]. Shade saw it at the doctor Pass the academy's reward order.
But fortunately it is only the Sage level (Level 2), not the Angel level (Level 1). But thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely that he would suddenly encounter an angel-level relic. After all, Shade still had a certain degree of confidence in his luck.
The woman in my heart laughed again.
"This is actually not a secret. At least the church and the college know it, as well as other guys who have spies in the local area... That relic of the sage is the [God's Gift Box], which is mastered by a certain person. A tool once used by the old **** with creative power."
The woman behind the door said in a teasing tone:
"The person currently in possession of this sage-level relic is the Blood of Mercury, and they are classified as an illegal organization.
Due to some reasons, Mercury Blood is temporarily unable to move this relic, so the [God’s Gift Box] is still in Tobesk City. The power of the relics is very powerful. Every ring warlock who touches the box for the first time will automatically know a synthesis formula. By putting specific relics into the box in a specific order, a more powerful relic that must be suitable for them can be synthesized. Detective, do you understand? ”
"I probably understand."
Xia De memorized this information carefully. This was the information about the first [Sage-level] relic that he came into contact with.
"This is somewhat similar to synthesis in alchemy, but the side effects of sage-level relics... Diack, the 'Silver Eyed One' with mercury blood, seems to think that he can master it through that box. Learn how to synthesize the angel-level (level 1) relic [Blood of Mercury]..."
The woman was laughing, but the laughter was far less beautiful than the laughter in Shade's mind at the moment.
"The Silver Eyed Man attempts to use this sage-level relic that cannot be taken away to synthesize real mercury blood. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the [Mercury Blood] organization, in order to pursue a thing that may not exist [ Relics]... So, this group of people came to this city with some messy things, including that statue. It is said that there are several very good [relics], but unfortunately I only want this statue at the moment. ”
"So what do you think of that sage-level relic, [God's Gift Box]?"
Xia De hesitated and said, he was very doubtful that if what the woman said was true, whether the academy who knew about it would tell the truth to the ring magicians who taught correspondence courses in the area.
If you tell the truth, then the reward order seems to be a bit evasive. Therefore, the academy's reward order he saw at the doctor's office was probably the real purpose of "looking for traces of the [Mercury Blood] organization", and the forged Philosopher's Stone was just incidental.
The academy currently does not plan to share this information with the correspondence class magicians.
"I am not interested in that item at all. I know what that box is, so I will never touch it. It only appeared in the autumn of 1068 in the Fifth Epoch. It is very ancient and powerful.... ..If I were you, I would definitely be hiding from [Mercury Blood] in this foggy steam city for the next few months. That group of people are almost going crazy now."
"Okay, ma'am, thank you very much for your information. Here is the incantation..."
It took a few seconds to memorize what the woman said word for word, and then he took the initiative to say a six-syllable incantation. After finishing speaking, he added that this was only known due to the effect of his own core spiritual runes.
But the woman didn't seem to care about this sentence, just like she didn't care why Shade could make the [Dark Box] lose control easily.
"Very good, detective, I appreciate people like you. This is a pretty good commission. Then, please keep this [relic]."
The sound of a drawer being pulled was heard from behind the door, followed by the sound of footsteps. But when the door was finally pushed open, it was only a young maid who walked out. She looks like she is in her twenties, wearing a classic thick black and white maid uniform.
The long black hair was covered with a white hair ornament. Because she was not working in the kitchen, there was no apron like Shade imagined outside the maid's dress.
This is definitely not the lady Shade is talking to. The outline of the lady behind the door was described by the color of gold in the darkness just now, and she is very different from the black-haired maid.
After the maid opened the door in the corner of the bookshelf, she immediately returned the door to its ajar state, preventing Shade from having a chance to see the "noble lady" inside. Then he very carefully held a small square box in front of Sha De with both hands. The outside of the box was wrapped in red velvet. He held it with one hand, opened it with a click, and showed Sha De that the box was embedded in the lining. ring.
The faint smell of blood was captured, but neither the naked eye nor the [Echo of Blood] could see that the ring itself was stained with blood.
The ring has the texture of sterling silver, and the surface of the ring is made of yellow amber wrapped with unknown insects. The insect looked like an ordinary flying mosquito, but its body was bloody, as if it could come alive from amber in the next second.
[You have come into contact with ‘Whispers’. 】
“Clerical relic [Vampire Ring], if you wear the ring in an injured state and directly contact the skin of any humanoid creature, you can absorb the other person’s blood to heal yourself.
Diseases and curses cannot be cured, but can be alleviated. But if the injury that needs to be healed is too serious, it may cause the blood of the person being contacted to be drained out in an instant... But don't use the ring as a means of attack, even if you are willing to harm yourself, this is a clerical-level relic. Frequent use of the ring's ability to heal oneself will cause symptoms such as blood thirst. ”
This is the woman inside the door explaining that she did not hide the situation about this relic:
"In the uninjured state, don't wear it, at least don't wear it for a long time, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen. Of course, even if it is not because of the side effects of the relic, it is best not to wear it easily, because this is what I have learned from【 Blood of Mercury] was taken from there, they don’t know who took it, so... you should be so cautious.”
For a moment, Shade didn't know whether he should complain about the conflict between the other party and [Mercury Blood], or whether he should think about the relationship between [Mercury Blood] collecting so many extraordinary items related to [blood] and the synthesis formula.
