The Whispering Verses Chapter 466: The God of Gambling and the Demon Hunting Seal

Now that he has learned more about that "gamble of life" in the past, Shade actively started investigating.

The method of investigation is naturally to entrust others to help him collect information. This is also a helpless matter. Shade has no direct information channels. Unless the [Silver Moon Library], which is called "recorded all knowledge" by the librarian, is open to him, Shade can only honestly find others for help. Own.

Early on Monday morning, Priest Augustus had just finished breakfast in the church restaurant and was about to take a walk in Dawn Square to eat when he saw Shad hurriedly jumping out of the carriage:

"Oh, detective, you came so early, you are not here to listen to the lecture, are you?"

The priest was in a good mood, standing at the door of the church in his robe, and even joked with Shade. Inviting Shade to talk inside the church, the two walked in the corridor. Shade quietly handed the holy emblem drawn by Mr. Riddle to the priest. He was a little worried that passing the holy emblem of the old **** in the church of Zhengshen was considered sacrilege. God's actions:

"Priest, I would like to entrust you to help me find the old **** corresponding to this holy symbol."

"Holy Emblem?"

Priest Augustus glanced down at those strange lines. The confusion and slight discomfort made him confirm that these were not random graffiti patterns:

"This is...oh, it's this one!"

"Priest, do you know this?"

"Of course, this is the long-gone old **** [the Noisy Black Hunter], or the [God of Gambling]. In fact, even today, this **** still has scattered believers. Although the sect has long disappears, but gamblers will pass on his stories orally, and his idols and holy symbols can occasionally be found in underground casinos."

The priest introduced it, and then asked curiously:

"I heard from Anat that your luck in betting on Rhodes has always been very good. There should be no need to pray for help from this god, right?"

"No, no, not Rhodes."

Xia De immediately shook his head:

"I want to know more about this great man."

"I can't help you with this."

The priest shook his head regretfully, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said:

"The order of this **** has long since disappeared, and the church has very few records about it. Some time ago, the church found the information left by the believers of the old **** [Innocent Creator], but the church is not often able to find this Plant a 'treasure'."

"Well...what happens if I want to cheat in front of this god?"

Xia De did not dare to say that he wanted to cheat in the bet with the gods. He just wanted to try to join the game. Although his life experience in this world was only two short months, it was definitely more exciting than Mr. Riddle's experience.

"If that **** has not left yet, you can refer to the consequences of cheating in front of the great one by referring to the well-known blasphemers in history."

That is to say, death is inevitable, which makes Xia De understand that it is better not to use your brain in this bet.

Seeing that Shade did not continue to ask questions, the priest said again:

"It just so happens that you came to see me today. The [Weak Angel Potion] promised to you last time is ready. Come with me to my workshop to get it."

Priest August’s potion workshop was a friend’s basement he rented on the street next to Dawn Square. The two were walking and chatting, and on Monday morning, there were not many people like them who could walk leisurely on the streets.

After all, everyone has to live, and the old priest of the church and Shade, who has a commission that can last for a month, obviously do not belong to the normal group.

The two talked about the recent prayer activities that will be held at Dawn Church, and about the church's plan to book the King of Delrayon Opera House this weekend and invite the troupe to perform an opera performance with the theme of "Religious Story" there.

As a senior local believer, Shade, if he wanted to go, he could of course get the ticket directly from Priest August.

"Does the church often hold such... cultural activities?"

Shade thought for a while before he found a suitable way to describe it. The boy selling newspapers came over to sell newspapers to the two of them, but when he saw the way Priest August was dressed, he backed away - the church itself ordered newspapers.

But the priest smiled and asked the boy to come over, and then used the change in his pocket to buy a copy of the "Steambird Daily". Today is Monday, and there is another series of Dorothy's Detective Stories. On Saturday, Dorothy said with a bright face that she really succeeded this time.

Even Shade now likes to read Dorothy's serials. This is of course not because he wants to see others praise him, but because he wants to know how Dorothy adapted those boring detective records.

The priest folded the newspaper and tucked it in his arm, and continued to explain:

"Similar activities are often held. The preaching and sermons that were popular in the old era can no longer satisfy this era. The prosperity of the steam industry has created more needs for the spiritual field among people who are living increasingly prosperous lives. Therefore, In addition to the most important festivals every year, Wushen Church organizes various gatherings at regular intervals. ”

"Inadequate and unbalanced, I understand."

Xia De nodded, but did not discuss this topic too deeply. Instead, he asked:

"In addition to organizing opera viewings, what other activities can be done?"

Seeing that Shade looked very interested, Priest Augustus smiled and explained:

"Psychological counseling, mutual aid groups, or organizing small biscuits in the church, which are sent to slums or urban welfare homes by the church. Oh, every six months, we also organize gatherings for young believers who know the basics of their family situations to create understanding for them. Opportunity."

This can be regarded as a blind date activity, and the next generation of children born from the union of fellow believers will most likely become senior believers.

Priest Augustus did not invite Shade to participate in such an event. After all, the old man was vaguely aware that Shade had an unusual relationship with the two sorceresses in his group.

The two of them talked about the situation of the ring warlock from the [Truth Society] they met at the unknown cemetery at the end of the Hanged Man's Trail last week. Priest August handed him over to the church, and the church naturally carried out the plan. Through further interrogation, I hope to get more information about the [Truth Society].

Unfortunately, it was probably because Shade's [Sin Chain] penetrated that soul twice. Even though he was resurrected through the ritual, his own wisdom and thinking still caused a certain degree of confusion.

After examination, the church concluded that his soul had been deformed and attributed this to the horrific resurrection ceremony. As for more information about the [Truth Society], it can currently only be deciphered from the private letters of the ring warlocks that were later found, but it will also take time to decipher those letters encrypted in ancient languages.

An organization like the [Truth Society] will not send just one person to Tobesk for action. The church believes that he must have companions who are still in the diocese.

"So, don't use your chain unless necessary."

The priest took out the key and opened the door while warning Shade:

"Just seeing that chain, I can almost feel the guilt. I believe you can control your own power, but I'm worried that others don't believe you."

Go over the steps and enter the basement. Because Priest August often prepares potions here, there is a very strange and indescribable bitter smell in the air, and the temperature in the basement is much higher than the ground. This may be due to the corner of the wall. Caused by the stove that was still glowing.

The [Weak Angel Potion] prepared by Priest Augustus for Shade is now placed on the test tube rack of the test stand. When he handed the glass test tube to Shade, he also complained that further advanced potions courses would require more sophisticated chemical instruments, but the procurement of such instruments was a big hassle. The asking price in St. Byrons is too high, and the National Institute of Precision Instruments in Delrayon is inconvenient to access. Some mechanical colleges in the university area can customize it, but the cycle is very long.

[Weak Angel Potion] is a tube of transparent liquid that looks no different from water. But after the contact, the voice in his ear immediately reminded Shade that he felt a [miracle].

Xia De held the test tube and immediately felt the warm temperature. This feeling is similar to holding a hot water bottle with a suitable temperature in winter.

Although it is not the same type of item as the [Sunshine Gun] brooch made by Iluna, the elements and spirits contained in Priest August's potion are almost more powerful than that brooch.

"The most direct way to use this to deal with demons is to pour it into the opponent's mouth. But considering that it is recorded in the book that most evil spirits and demons are not in human form and may not have mouths or other holes, so you can also Spray on the other person's body."

The priest held the table and explained to Shade:

"I don't know what you are going to deal with, but if you continue to control this, even if you cannot completely expel the other party, it will definitely have a great impact on the other party."

"Would it be useful to pour this on a weapon?"

Xia De asked curiously. He pulled out the plug of the test tube and smelled it, smelling a not too strong smell of grass. Fortunately, Mia is now obsessed with "exploring" at home and did not follow her out, otherwise the cat would definitely stretch out its claws.

"Of course it is useful. It can provide a certain time limit of holy light damage to the weapon. In addition, dripping liquid on the eyelids, nose and ears can allow you to detect traces of evil things that have the ability to become invisible. ”

The priest thought for a moment:

"This kind of potion is very difficult to prepare. In a short period of time, I can only provide you with these. If you can't handle it yourself, remember to ask me for help. Oh, I mean, ask me to find the church for help. ”

"Of course, priest."

Xia De did not say that he had a companion, and he said embarrassedly:

"Priest, the potion you provided is too precious. The help I gave you is actually nothing. So, what else do you need..."

"No need to say this, our group itself should help each other, and you are fighting against the devil, which is righteous. If I accept your reward, I will become a profit-seeking person."

Priest August asked Shade not to continue talking. Shade could only hide this gratitude in his heart, thinking that he would repay the favor in the future.

At the same time, he took out the mark that could expel demons that he copied from Mr. Riddle, and wanted the priest to see if he knew what it was.

I thought the priest needed to look up information, but unexpectedly he frowned. The priest not only recognized the holy symbol of the god, but he also recognized this:

"Oh? Where did you see this mark? I think you are not proficient in basic heraldry. After this symbol was transformed, it was used in many blessing rituals."

"This is what I saw from... an ancient book that records methods of dealing with demons. It says that this mark can expel demons. Priest, is this the mark left by a certain relic? ”

"Yes, oh, Detective, I never thought I could see this from you."

Priest August asked Shade to sit down and talk:

"You also know that evil spirits and demons are twisted and terrifying things that survived from the ancient Third Age. Although the intelligent beings at that time were afraid of them, according to the occult system of that era, they were not There was no way to fight them. So a group of people with the goal of hunting demons gathered together. The mark you see is the seal they wore, which was a very powerful alchemy item in that era."

"So has that group of people been passed down? For example, in the dark and turbulent Fourth Age, the Fifth Age of Witches, and the current Sixth Age, are there still this group of people? Do they have any organization?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"They all disappeared for various reasons at the end of the Third Era or the beginning of the Fourth Era. The remaining metal seals later transformed into relics, which is what you are looking for. Please keep them specifically. I don’t know how many seals I got, but I know this is a secret-keeper-level relic [Demon Hunting Seal].”

"Is it just the secret keeper level?"

Xia De was a little surprised.

"Because the only function of the seal is to give the imprinted object the power to fight against demons. Apart from fighting against demons, it has no effect. Even the two negative characteristics are only related to demons. Do not be contacted by the ring warlock for a long time , once touched by the Ring Warlock again, it will directly attract demons, and holding this seal will also increase the probability of encountering demons."

The priest said.

"So where are these seals now?"

"I don't know."

The priest shook his head:

"But there is a saying that when the devil appears, these seals will also appear. This is the last gift left to future generations by the witchers of the Third Age."

"This is going to be troublesome."

Shad thought in his mind that the ring warlock groups including churches and colleges are now looking for traces of Darkness. At this time, no matter which way Shad looks for the [Demon Hunting Seal], it will be obtained by other organizations.

Unless the seal hits Shade on his own initiative, Shade can't think of any possibility of getting it.

"Oh, Shade, remember not to tell anyone about this potion. You got it from me."

Priest August suddenly said again.

"Can't Dr. Schneider and the others say it too?"

"Yes, no one can say that."

The priest repeated it seriously.

"No problem, I have a lot of weird things anyway."

Xia De nodded, knowing in his heart that this kind of magic potion was definitely not simple.
