Chapter 1,069 'The Book of Fools' and [Source of Chaos]
After noticing Sir's right hand behind his back and making the agreed movements, Shade, who was walking behind the two of them, coughed suddenly and said to Mr. Booker:
"Mr. Booker, what do you think this is?"
His left hand touched the "Psychic Crystal Ring" on his hand. While Mr. Booker turned his head, his eyes looked directly into Mr. Booker's eyes. Under the strong mental shock, this fat and half-bald man passed out directly.
, but after falling to the ground, his whole body twitched, then he closed his eyes and stood up strangely again in a posture that seemed to be controlled by silk threads.
"He has indeed been controlled by the Book of Fools."
Sir Prisha said, and then nodded to Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton, according to the plan, I will stop him while you go find the book."
Because Shade had said in advance that he had a special ability to find objects, Shade conducted the search.
"No problem, but don't you need my help here?"
Shade asked. At this time, the five-ring life ring behind Sir Prisha had appeared.
At the same time that the core spirit rune [finger] showed its aura, a very disgusting, huge seven-fingered palm appeared in the void, the skin looked like it had been soaked in water.
This seems to be an ability to summon the undead. When combined with the core spirit runes, it becomes even more powerful.
"Detective, it would be the greatest help to me if you find that book as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Sir Prisha had already faced Mr. Booker, whose whole body was twitching, and his body was being opened layer by layer like a page of paper.
Shade nodded and left the basement along the stairs. He had just confirmed that the book was not in the basement.
Seeing that Xia De had left, the middle-aged noble from the southern country took out a small pocket book and threw it towards the life ring behind him.
"Obviously, relic-level books are very resistant to my [Library Search]."
Shade returned to the first floor of the library and tried to cast a spell, but nothing happened. This was not because nothing happened without results, but he felt very obvious resistance, which meant that the relic was indeed here.
“Can you find the source of the resistance?”
Shade asked in his heart.
[Only with you as the center of the circle, the approximate range of where the resistance is located can be sensed. 】
So Shade walked a few more places in the library, casting spells continuously to try to call the book. And "she" recorded the possible sources of resistance, and finally determined the overlapping range in the southwest corner of the library, also
It was the same reception room where Mr. Booker received them just now.
Once the approximate location is determined, there is no need to use [Library Search] to search for the relic. Shade reached out and touched every object that might hide the relic, sensing the traces of the "Whisper" element at close range.
Judging from the current state of Mr. Booker, the relic is close to a semi-out of control state. The whispering element of the relic in this state will be more obvious.
So just as Shade thought, he didn't spend much effort and noticed traces of elements near the chair where Mr. Booker was sitting just now. After careful inspection, he cut open the soft lining of the back of the chair and cut the seam.
The books inside were taken out.
"found it!"
The cover of the book is tan. It looks like a new book that was just printed last week. There are no stains or folding marks. The title written on the cover is "The Book of Fools", and below it is a complex
Diamond-shaped geometric symbol. Shade heard Luvia introduce this symbol, which represents the "Gnosis School" of the divination school, which means that he can capture the vague destiny directly by his own inspiration without the help of divination props.
In Luvia's opinion, the [Spiritual Order] to which Sister Devlin belongs is most likely the "Gnosis School." Although the nun has not shown any divination ability, Luvia had a detailed discussion with the nun last time.
During that time, I learned a lot of things that Sha De didn’t even know.
【Do you want to open it and take a look? Try it and see if you are a fool who can only see the pages.】
"She" suggested with a smile. Shade put the book on the table, took out a bottle of holy water from his pocket, and suppressed the book that was shaking constantly, as if there was something inside that wanted to come out:
"This is what Sir Prisha wants. I won't open it without permission. Besides, if I ask him later, he won't mind if I open it."
"She" smiled, and Shade took out the storage items that the Jazz had given him in advance. First, he tied the book with a red silk thread in the shape of a cross, and then tied it with the skin of a triangle antelope.
Wrap up the book.
After feeling the trembling of the book and the obvious weakening of the whispering element, Shade pressed his hand on the piece of sheepskin:
"The prophets are all liars, and the soothsayers are all lies."
He said softly, and the book became completely motionless.
Of course, for safety reasons, Shade did not take the book out of the sheepskin, but took it to the basement. At this time, the battle in the basement had ended, and Sir Prisha was using thaumaturgy to modify Mr. Booker's
memory.
Shade also stepped forward to help. When Sir saw Shade pouring holy water into Mr. Booker's mouth, Jazz smiled and sighed, the detective living in Saint Teresa Square is indeed rich enough.
Mr. Booker is quite lucky. Just like Professor Manning, the influence of the relic on him is not irreversible. Although he will suffer from migraines and neurasthenia for a long time after this incident, at least he still has the ability to recover.
Normal possibilities.
But unlike Professor Manning's time, Mr. Booker's memory of this incident has been completely erased. Since Sir Prisha will leave Tobesk with the visiting delegation the day after tomorrow, Shade will be there in the next period of time.
, visit him frequently to confirm his recovery symptoms.
As for the "Book of Fools", it was naturally taken away by the two of them as a reward for saving him. And this operation of just one and a half hours was enough to be called a standard relic collection operation.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. In the past, we often ran into trouble when collecting relics."
On the carriage ride back, Shade was still sighing, while Sir Prisha checked the book, and after opening it, he showed a thoughtful expression. But after flipping through a few pages, he showed a disappointed expression.
"Why, this book is of no use to you?"
Shade asked curiously, Jazz shook his head:
"Useful, but not as useful as expected."
He hesitated and handed the book to Shade:
"This is yours, detective, as a reward for helping me collect the relics this time."
"Um?"
Shade took the book hesitantly:
"Are you sure? I came to help you store the relic, but the reward is the relic itself?"
"I have read the contents of this book, and I have found what I am looking for. This book is of no use if I leave it in my hands. I will go on a long journey next, and it is not suitable to carry such an unfamiliar book with me.
Relics.”
The middle-aged gentleman from the South said helplessly:
"Besides, knowledge itself needs to be passed on. Do I want to be like the collector just now and lock the knowledge firmly in the basement?"
Seeing what he said, Shade accepted the book, but he insisted on giving Sir Prisha another sum of money as if he had bought "The Book of Fools". He thought in his heart that he could buy this book
Give it to Luvia as a year-end gift.
"Give Dorothy the [Etlaine's Pen] left behind by the devil, give Luvia the 'Book of Fools', give Iluna the 'Fire of the Sun', what should I give to Lesia..."
..”
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Shade followed Sir Prisha's example and opened the book to check its contents.
Of course what was displayed in front of him was not a blank piece of paper, but a short piece of information about the relic:
[Sage-level relic [Source of Chaos], also known as [Huang Yue’s Orb], has a flawless appearance and is a round bead with self-luminous properties. Containment method: Hidden in a dark place, exposed to direct sunlight within a day,
It should not exceed three hours, otherwise the probability of a solar eclipse and associated disasters in the area will increase significantly.
Note: The disasters associated with a solar eclipse usually have immeasurable consequences.
Positive Characteristic 1: Moon
This item can be seen as a yellow moon in any scene. Throwing it above your head can make it float and follow. There are only a few ways to directly suppress the light of this item, and it cannot be extinguished under any other circumstances.
Note: The original moon was the silver moon, but the yellow moon inherited the meaning of the moon itself.
Positive Attribute 2: Guidance
Carrying this item, when you are in complex scenes such as mazes, virgin forests, large cities, etc., the item will guide you in the right direction.
Note: It can only guide the direction to find a way out, it cannot be used to find a target that you don't know.
Positive Trait 3: Chaos
If this item is embedded in the right eye, it will gain the characteristics of the magic eye, gain at least five material-free and cost-free spellcasting abilities such as [Chaos], and greatly enhance any ability that directly causes intelligent creatures to fall into madness and lose their minds. Embedding in
The left eye is invalid.
Note: In occultism, it is believed that the left eye is related to the sun.
Positive Characteristic 4: Moon Sanctuary
If the item is placed in a closed or semi-closed location for a long time, the location will acquire the characteristics of the Moon Sanctuary. If you use the moon's rituals or learn related knowledge in this scene, your efficiency and success rate will increase.
Note: Since it needs to be placed for a long time without interruption, using relics in this way is very wasteful.
Negative Trait 1: Confusion
When the item is directly illuminated by the light of the real yellow moon for a long time, the light of the item will have an effect similar to the "group chaos halo".
Note: This effect ignores most resistances and is very likely to cause mass accidents. When exposed to direct moonlight for more than three years, ten months and three days, no mortal object will be able to approach the object.
Negative Trait 2: Nightmare
Carrying this item for a long time will increase the probability of entering a nightmare. The specific content of the nightmare cannot be described, and it is suspected to be related to the split of the original moon and the departure of the ancient god [#￥@%]. The probability of nightmares causing extraordinary people to lose control increases, such as encounters
Nightmare, you need not to touch the item again within the three-phase cycle.
Note: This relic most likely comes from (unreadable).
Message: This is an immeasurable treasure for astrologers and moon worshipers.]
