The Whispering Verses Chapter 450: Mind blast
"What did you think would happen?"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the witch on the train asked Xiang De. It had been a while since they set out, and they would probably be able to return to Aurora Manor before six-thirty in the evening.
At this time, Shade was holding an orange cat that was slightly frightened by the earthquake in the town, although Shade thought it was most likely faking.
"Before I set off, I had been worried that I would meet Darkness in the town, or that the old lady Ilar had not given up, but was trying to sacrifice us to the gods."
Xia De replied.
"Darkness has been away from Cold Water Port for a week, and there is no way she will appear here. As for Ilar, she only has the second ring. Do you look down on me too much?"
The witch asked with a smile, Shade shook his head:
"I just didn't expect this time to go so smoothly. I thought that obtaining every spiritual rune would require a thrilling adventure."
"Most of the time, but not every time. How dangerous is your life?"
Xia De smiled sheepishly:
“However, I saw some illusions when I came into contact with the statue of the god. It seemed that the old **** was just a powerful and strange creature wandering underground in ancient times, but later it devoured the power of the ancient **** in the earth. Became gods. So, what are the Old Gods? Are the Old Gods the original gods? Are they individuals who gained the power of the Ancient Gods? ”
Not even a thirteen-ring warlock would engage in this kind of discussion about gods. But witches are more powerful. The origins of these power systems are similar to those of women in the previous era, and they are obviously more courageous.
Miss Aurora looked serious:
"There is no answer to this question, and the weight of knowledge cannot be ignored, but since you have figured it out yourself, I can also tell you something I know. Yes, I have read the secret book of the Worm Order , although it is not stated clearly, but the most secret information hints that the power of [Earth-Shaking Worm] comes from the ancient **** [Earth Mother Goddess] who is in charge of the earth, the four elements, and the foundation stone. Yes, Shade, most of the old gods. The power comes from the distant ancient gods. They were powerful and strange beings in the distant ancient era. For various reasons, they obtained the residue of the ancient gods' power and became gods. Of course, according to the Council. According to the records, only some of the old gods are like this. There is even a saying that there are even five righteous gods."
She suddenly closed her mouth and looked cautiously at the top of her head, as if she was worried about a bolt of lightning striking down.
Shadow was so surprised that he even forgot to continue caressing Mia, who was sleeping. He had always been curious about the source of the power of the old gods, but he didn't expect to find out by asking casually.
The lady with long brown hair sat upright and seemed to regret what she had just said to Shade:
"Let's change the topic. Ever since I saw that statue, I still have the illusion that bugs are crawling on my arms. Let's not discuss gods anymore. Shade, what do you think of this sect that is about to die? ”
Xia De was very cooperative and didn’t ask any more questions, but he also knew that an organization like [Witch Council] must have a lot of information he needed:
"There will always be people leaving, and there will always be people coming back. The demise of anything is part of the laws of nature. I just lamented that the believers of the evil **** actually look kind."
"The things she did when she was young were enough for the law to hang her ten times."
The witch said, looking at Shade, and seeing that he had no reaction, she said again:
"I thought you would suggest that you go back and kill her now."
"Madam, do you think I am a stereotypical knight from a classical knight novel?"
Xia De asked, holding the cat, and added:
"There are so many bad people in the world. I even bet that at least half of the civil servants in Tobesk City Hall must have committed crimes, but will I try them one by one?"
Miss Aurora laughed.
"Am I wrong?"
Xia De asked sheepishly.
"Half? Oh, you think City Hall is too clean."
What the witch cares about is completely different from what Shade cares about.
In short, the second-ring blasphemous spiritual rune [Shock] is probably the easiest spiritual rune that Shade has obtained so far. And he didn't even have to worry about finding the corresponding thaumaturgy to learn. Old Mrs. Yilar directly gave him a related thaumaturgy, and this thaumaturgy was very powerful.
[Psychic Blast], a quite classical extraordinary ability. According to Miss Aurora, the prototype of this thaumaturgy can even be traced back to the Second Age or even the First Age.
The effect of thaumaturgy is also very simple. By casting spells, it causes vibrations in the enemy's soul, causing short-term interference in the opponent's thaumaturgy and incantation. For objects with weak soul power, it can directly damage the opponent's soul. And by using this ability skillfully, you can master the memory cleaning skills to a certain extent.
Of course, because the effect of thaumaturgy is too crude, if you want to use [Psychic Blast] to cleanse your memory, you must be prepared for the opponent to become a fool.
This thaumaturgy can only be mastered by spiritual runes that correspond to the derived concepts of [soul] and [vibration]. Depending on the level of the user and the amount of spirit, the functions it can play are different.
As a thaumaturgy that works on a single target, when used at a high level, it can even turn ordinary people into madmen or fools with just one look. When used by low-level warlocks like Shade, disturbing and damaging souls is the main function.
After all, this is just to use spirit and elements to shake the other party's soul, not to use the soul to shake the other party's soul. Otherwise, Shade, who has two drops of divinity in his soul, would even dare to go directly to Ivan Darkness for a duel.
As a thaumaturgy mastered through independent learning, thaumaturgy requires not only fingers but also casting materials. Because the spirit rune is [vibration], the casting materials must make up for the lack of "soul".
The spellcasting material mentioned in the knowledge provided by the old lady Ilar is "psychic crystal", which is an expensive and rare alchemical product. It is used by ring magicians who are proficient in alchemy and psychology to explore the world of other people's dreams. When, nightmares or dreams are transformed into products of the real world.
Although expensive, this is not a consumable casting material. As long as Shade can find it and let it touch his fingers every time he uses thaumaturgy.
Old Mrs. Yilar doesn’t have such a thing, and Miss Aurora doesn’t have it yet. If Shade wants to find specialties from the New World, she can help, but the witch also needs to raise money to find this precious material for spiritual alchemy.
But Shade didn't let the witch help anymore. She had already provided enough help this time. He planned to ask Dr. Schneider for help. After all, the doctor happened to be good at this. Even if he didn't have it in hand, he would definitely have a way to get the goods.
"However, I thought that old Mrs. Yilar would give me [earthquake] or other thaumaturgy."
This is the emotion that Shade expressed during the boredom of the train journey.
"If it only causes small-scale ground vibrations, many thaumaturgy techniques can do it, but it has no use value at all. If you try to step on the ground with your feet to cause a real earthquake, you can't learn that kind of thaumaturgy without a high level. ”
Miss Aurora said.
"Why go to Gaohuan?"
"Do you think earthquakes are just vibrations below the ground that are transmitted to the ground? Although this is theoretically the case, nature and the world itself have power. Therefore, it is simple to summon wind and snow like the 'God Caller', but I think It is too difficult to truly change the celestial phenomena. Guess how much time and gold the fish people spent to call for that red ocean?"
From this perspective, Shade still has a lot of common sense to learn.
After returning to Coldwater Port, Miss Sylvie Aurora invited Shade to stay at the manor for dinner together, and then Shade left to return to Tobesk.
Dr. Schneider was not disturbed at night. After returning home and reading for a while, Shade rested alone in the unpainted guest room on the first floor. The style of the four-poster bed with brass pillars and the style of the curtains that Miss Tifa Servit chose were in line with Shade's wishes, but the mattress was too soft and made him uncomfortable to sleep on.
On the other hand, the orange cat likes the soft mattress very much.
