Even if Sir didn't know the amount of pyroxene needed, he definitely wanted more. So he was not in a hurry to enter the swamp, but he had to stay, at least to get the pyroxene here:
"That's why he was seen by the witch's followers. It's not because he's not careful, but because he must stay!"
After understanding this, Shade did not solve the test of the secret keeper in front of him, because it was obvious that Sir Prisha had already completed the last step, and he had just started now and could no longer catch up with the progress:
"Since the secret keeper is still here, it means that at least the test is not over yet!"
Thinking of this, Shade tried to accumulate anger in his heart, and then stood next to the cardboard house, covering his face with his hands.
With the rustling sound, the stone skin spread from his hands to the whole body. At the same time, two curled wings grew from his back, and Shade turned into a stone statue again in the wind and snow.
Seeing this scene, the gray-haired old man shook his head slightly and retracted into the cardboard room. The wind and snow became stronger and stronger, and snowflakes covered the head and shoulders of the angel stone statue. Gradually, the stone statue was covered with snow.
No one would want to set foot in a dirty alley with no one plowing snow in this weather. The empty alley only welcomed a new figure after half an hour. Lykins Plisha’s boots stepped on the snow.
As if stepping on a solid road, we arrived in front of the cardboard house smoothly.
He didn't notice the angel statue that was almost integrated into the alley, but called softly:
"I have helped the children in the slums so that they can spend this winter safely. I exposed my whereabouts to the church, and the church found out that those children had been in contact with me. While investigating those children, they will help them survive this winter.
Spend the winter. This is your first test."
After waiting for a while and receiving no reply, he continued:
"I found the public welfare home in Huntington City and found a child who lost his parents due to the accident where a relic went out of control two years ago. I took out the relic derivatives from his body, left him a large sum of money, and hired
Lawyer, monitor the use of that money, it is enough for him to live until adulthood. If he wants to study, it is also enough. This is your second test."
Jazz waited again, but still didn't get a reply, so he spoke for the third time:
"The third test, you asked me to investigate the origin of this strange snowstorm. In fact, the cause of this snowstorm is related to the power of the Pantanal evil. Two hours ago, I could have told you the answer directly,
But I went to church first and donated all the money I had before returning here. I hope those children can survive this winter smoothly, and I have probably completed your test perfectly."
He still didn't get a reply, but the strong wind suddenly blew away the paper shell house at this time. While the paper shell flew high into the sky, the crystal blue teardrop-shaped crystal was already lying quietly on the snow.
.
The middle-aged gentleman smiled and reached out to pick it up, but suddenly he looked to his left hand.
【He found you.】
"It's quite impressive that this thaumaturgy can last for so long."
He originally wanted to sneak attack Jazz when he turned to leave.
Thinking in his mind, he put down his hands and lifted his petrified state. The two looked at each other in the snow, and the air exhaled from their nostrils formed white smoke, which drifted away with the wind.
After a while, the middle-aged gentleman from the south asked softly:
"Mr. Hamilton, it's a coincidence that I met you again... Did you really come to the local area to meet Her Royal Highness Margaret?"
Shade did not answer his question, but asked:
"So Sir, what are you doing now?"
The middle-aged knight from the southern country smiled and said:
"I know very well what I am doing - pursuing the supreme wisdom. Since I was young, I have thought about spending my life pursuing knowledge. I thought that mortals have their limits after all, and I can only enjoy the pursuit in this life.
The process of knowledge, but now I have the opportunity to take a big step forward. Yes, that is a big step that no mortal can take."
"So what does it cost?"
Shade asked in standard Kassenric.
"Knight, do you still remember the conversation we had on the carriage back after taking in the Book of Fools? You told me the story of your professor friend who pursued knowledge but finally gave up because of his own cowardice. I wanted to tell you at that time
You said something, but I just didn't have the nerve to say it at the time."
Shade snorted, and two streaks of white smoke entered the snow.
"A wise man who pursues knowledge always knows what he wants. The price doesn't matter, because everything is worth it."
Jazz said to Shade with certainty:
"Knowledge is power and wisdom, and is the most precious wealth of mankind. I want to use wisdom and knowledge to cast my crown to touch the ancient miracles that are beyond the reach of mortals."
His eyes looked at Shade, and Feng Xue did not let them blink, even though Shade wanted to do so.
"I know you want to stop me, so sir, don't you have a goal of your own?"
"Of course, but I won't sacrifice others for my own goals, let alone burn down an entire library for a few books."
"You actually still care about that little thing?"
Sir was surprised by this, smiled and said:
"You will not sacrifice others, just because your goals are not lofty and ambitious enough. A wise man is like water, endless, and there is no end to the pursuit of wisdom. People often say that a person's life goals can often reflect a person's ambition and ambition.
Wisdom, and my ambition and life goal are wisdom and knowledge itself. What I long for is exactly what I long for. This is the most noble ideal of mortals."
"The wise are like water..."
Shade also said this to Miss Violet in the fifth era:
"My goal in life is beyond your imagination. Even my simplest ideal, exploring the mysteries of time and reuniting with friends from the past, is beyond your ability to understand."
Shade said firmly. Jazz shook his head slightly, as if he was mocking Shade:
"Arrogance is the original sin; lying is an unforgivable crime in doctrine. Mr. Shade Hamilton, the Knight of Hamilton of Regede, the detective of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, do you really want to stop me? Or maybe
, are you really Shad Hamilton? When did your Carsonrick Common Tongue get so good?"
He had already had doubts. After all, it was unreasonable for Shade to appear here so quickly, and his combat power did not look like the fourth ring. Coupled with two consecutive unexpected encounters, it was difficult not to make him suspicious.
And Sir's understanding of Shadkarson's language was limited to his lame hello at Lakeview Manor.
"Who am I, does it matter? I am... the chosen one of knowledge and wisdom, yes, I am too, but my order is behind you. If I kill you, I will be the chosen one.
.”
After Sister Devlin's incident, most of the organizations pursuing the chosen ones knew about the "sequence" system of the chosen ones, so it was okay for Xia De to say it at this time. The purpose of deliberately confusing the public was of course to make Xia De
De Hamilton's identity is safer.
Unexpectedly, Sir Prisha frowned:
"I see, it makes sense. The few ring magicians I know well in Tobesk happen to be pursuing the Chosen One. This sounds like too much of a coincidence. My luck can't be that bad...
.I just said that when I fought you in the alley of the library last time, you had a power that I was very familiar with. Disguising yourself as Hamilton and deliberately approaching me was a good idea, very good. But Her Royal Highness Margaret has arrived now
Locally, I have inquired that she has not met anyone at all, and I originally thought... It seems that I guessed right."
Shade stopped talking at this time, but took out a pistol with a strange black metallic luster from his coat, and the surface looked like a layer of glass. As Jazz stepped back slowly with a serious face, the life ring appeared.
:
"Do you know the Book of Fools? I saw some interesting knowledge in it?"
It looks like he's about to show off his power.
Shade shook his head, raised his gun and pulled the trigger. Sir Prisha smiled confidently, the blasphemous spirit rune [egg] and the enlightenment spirit rune [shield] shone brightly, and the transparent egg shell enveloped him.
But after Shade pulled the trigger, there was inexplicably no gunshot. In fact, at that moment, all the sounds around him disappeared. The inexplicable darkness seemed to envelope the surroundings, and when Shade and Sir Prisha were completely blind,
Half a second later, Shade looked at the smoking muzzle of the gun in confusion. The middle-aged gentleman in a trench coat staggered back, and then fell on the snow in the alley.
A penetrating wound appeared on his chest, and black sludge squirmed in the wound and corroded the flesh. The blood was spread all over the snow, but it all turned into a corrosive liquid, and Lykins Plisha's entire skin color was...
As he turned black, Shade felt at least five different curses taking effect on him.
In that shot just now, Shade used three demon bullets that were loaded in the magazine in advance. Since he had this kind of weapon, he certainly would not wait until the end to use it, but he did not expect that the effect would be so good.
Not only was the chosen one almost seriously injured by a single blow, but he, the one who fired the gun, felt the disgusting curse spreading towards his palm, and the whisper of devil language appeared in his heart. The doctor did not let him use it casually.
The power of demons obviously makes sense.
"A very powerful pistol."
Jazz, who was coughing up blood, tried to get up on the snowy surface, but Shade had already raised the gun and pointed it at him, and was about to shoot again.
"But you have no chance."
As Jazz's voice fell, he had already disappeared on the snow.
【Under the snow layer.】
A warning sound came to his ears, and then a book actually flew out from under the snow. Shade was not confident of hitting the high-speed flying object, so he did not waste the remaining two demon bullets, but pursued it with a frown.
Up.
The book did not fly out of the alley, it quickly stopped. When the pages of the book were opened, Sir Prisha, whose body was intact but still coughing up blood, jumped out of the page:
"The books I read and the, ahem, knowledge I possess are my most powerful power."
This seemed to be a spell to cast a spell. At the same time as the words fell, two four-story bookshelves appeared next to Jazz. At the same time that Shade realized what had happened, the snow under his feet trembled slightly, and then densely packed gray stones emerged from the
The ground rises.
If you look closely, you will see that they are clearly old gray stone bookshelves. Following Lykins Plischar's spell, they were overlapping and skewed like towering tombstones, erected in the alley until they were all covered.
