Opening the trap door, the group entered the underground. After lighting up the crystal lamps on the wall that were triggered by spirits, they saw that it was divided into two floors, each floor covering the same area as the house above.
of underground laboratories and storage rooms.
"These crystal lamps are good things. The witches of the Fifth Age liked to make such lamps. Nowadays, few people will take the initiative to use them."
Megan looked at them with admiration, while Shade thought that if there were extra lamps here, he could use them to decorate his new room on the third floor.
So with the expectation of finding more good things, he started counting items with the witches, hoping to see how much inheritance he had inherited. Because Megan and Audrey were still alive, although the fortune teller at that time
He said that he would leave everything to Shade, but Shade considered owning them together with the Twin Witches.
Of course, although I was full of expectations at the beginning, actually taking inventory of books, various materials and items was quite boring in itself. Because there were too many things, Miss Benenice had to find a group of girls to help in the end, which was very efficient.
It has improved a lot.
There are no traps here. Although there are dangerous items, most of them have been properly sealed. To Shade, the most valuable item was found on the experimental table, embedded in a silver cross.
The red "pebble" in the center.
It is also the size of half a fingernail, and it is also a genuine "philosopher's stone".
"There have long been rumors that your family is researching the Philosopher's Stone in the hope of gaining immortality. I guessed that I would find this."
He put the Philosopher's Stone given by the church and the Philosopher's Stone found here together, and saw two small bright red stones slowly merging into one in the palm of Shade's hand. This is also the characteristic of the Philosopher's Stone.
.
"Compared with the one you had before, which one is bigger?"
Audrey asked curiously, while Meghan, who was holding hands with her, was using a spell to direct the books on the table to fly and stack together to make it easier for the girls to register. Originally, she only appeared alone, but Miss Benanis
She thinks that since she is two people, she has to do the work of two people. This is regarded as exploitation by the two sisters.
"It's about the same size as the previous one. In this way, I walked around Green Lake, and in the end I still only had this Philosopher's Stone left in my hand."
He shook his head, used the moonlight from his fingertips to enlarge the hole in the center of the cross, and then reinstalled the "Philosopher's Stone":
"You know, Audrey, the Philosopher's Stone actually enhances the effect of spell casting and has a different effect in my hands. After I was promoted to the seventh level, the spell [Active Clay] changed due to the appearance of the spiritual rune [Flesh].
Performed thaumaturgy. And this thaumaturgy maintains the original effect, which is to allow me to imbue the earth and rock creations with activity, fill the missing parts of the living body, and make it become a part of the living body."
Audrey thought for a while:
"If you use the Philosopher's Stone to increase this effect, wait a minute!"
Her eyes widened, thinking of what Shade did at noon today:
"You can bring back the soul from death, and this weird thaumaturgy enhanced by the Philosopher's Stone, is it possible?"
"Yes, the sublimation of spells into thaumaturgy does not create any additional spell-casting effects. It only enhances the original spell-casting effects. It can then be further enhanced by the [Philosopher's Stone]. In theory, it should be possible to rejuvenate a soul.
Shape your body.”
Shade said very cautiously, and Audrey looked him up and down:
"Is this really something that a mortal can do? Do you think you can use the Philosopher's Stone to shape a person?"
"No, no, the materials are still stone and soil. The Philosopher's Stone is only used as a catalyst in the chemical reaction. It does not participate in the synthesis process, so it is still a mortal body."
However, Shade thought about the possibility mentioned by Audrey:
"As for what you said, using a piece of Philosopher's Stone to carve a human form is not something I can do, and I don't think any mortal can do it. Even the thaumaturgy of [Activated Clay] can only shape a mortal body, and
The Philosopher's Stone creates the human body. Even if I have such a big Philosopher's Stone, what kind of soul is needed to support a great body that does not belong to me? Is this considered the creation of a human-shaped relic?"
"She" suddenly smiled in Shade's ear, as if she was amused by Shade's joke.
"That's right, but the [Activated Clay] thaumaturgy you mastered is still weird. I am the most knowledgeable witch in the council, but I have never heard of a mortal being able to do such a thing. You made it
Does a part of the body have to be the same as the original?"
she asked again.
"I just create a rough shape, and the soul will automatically make it look like what it should be. Of course, if the clay I shape is too different from the original, then it will be very different after it becomes a body. In this way, I
First disfigure someone, then make him a clay mask that is very different from his original appearance, and then you can give him a complete facelift."
Shade suddenly thought of the new function of the new thaumaturgy. Audrey blinked suddenly, and Megan, who was casting the spell at the side, glanced at her. The two sisters had the same mind, and they both had new ideas:
"Xia De, are you okay?"
Audrey leaned into Shade's ear and whispered a possibility. Shade shivered suddenly as if he had been bitten by Mia:
"The thought is really scary, who would cut off their own. Besides, I am very satisfied with mine."
"It's just an academic discussion, why are you having such a big reaction?"
Although she said this, her face turned red and she glanced down:
"I know a lot of magic and spells that can reshape the body, but it seems like you are the only one that can grow naturally. It is really appropriate that the ancestors gave you all the materials for refining the human body."
"what are they doing?"
Not far away, Miss Sylvia asked Miss Benanis who was looking through a black book without a name. The latter looked up at Shade and Audrey who were talking:
"Flirting."
The great witch of space snorted:
"Two people are more attractive than one."
In addition to the harvest of the Philosopher's Stone, although the number of books collected here does not reach four digits, with the fortune teller's own notebooks and experimental manuals, the number of books far exceeds three digits. Most of them are gifted by ring magicians.
Regarding the books to be read, although Shade's [Library Search] can quickly find books, he still has to read them by himself. Looking through these books will be a big project and will definitely not be completed in one or two years.
In addition to written materials, there are more experimental equipment, research records, alchemy and potion materials. There are more than one fortune teller's laboratory. The map hanging on the wall marks the laboratories in other locations on the island. Different laboratories have different functions.
After Shade took over, of course he couldn't use it all, but since it was so close to home, some professional equipment was left here and he could use it at any time.
Of course, he did not plan to learn so many things by himself. He would make a copy of astrology and divination-related information for Luvia. Since Luvia might have inherited and developed this part of her research in the "past life", she
Let her continue to study.
"The Staff of Yectrasil" cannot be developed in one cycle. She continued to study this part of the content in many sixth eras to innovate and surpass Laplace Howard himself. So this time
In the Sixth Era, Shade was looking forward to new research results from Luvia.
There are a lot of bloody and dangerous contents in research materials, books and laboratories, and these also require Shade to selectively screen. Besides these, relics are what the witches are most concerned about.
Even Laplace Howard himself did not store hundreds of relics at once, which was almost a self-destructive move. After inspection and inventory, a total of 19 relics were finally found in different laboratories.
12 of them need to be strictly contained, and even fortune-tellers used to only use them as research objects, not as objects of use.
Among the 8 relics that can be used with limited use, 2 are poet-level, 2 are clerical, 3 are keeper-level, and 1 is sage-level. This number is slightly less than the relics held by Shade. But if you add
The last two special angel-level relics [Poetry Cards] and [Soul Storybook] and the sage-level relic [Philosopher's Stone] are actually similar to Shade's situation.
Of the eight usable relics, Shade only took away two. He already had a lot of relics, and after acquiring [Star Trace], there are currently no relics he must obtain.
If among these eight relics, there were relics that could absorb divinity, he might be interested in taking them away as a supplement to the [Profane Cross] in his hand, but unfortunately there was not.
What he took away were two coins, which were also the only clerical-level relics [Thundergod's Wrath]. Luvia had consumed this kind of coins when she was in Randall Valley.
This coin is similar to the [Dandelion Coin] that Shade has obtained many times, and is considered to be currency used for transactions with elemental creatures. The coin is silver-white in color and is about the same size as a 1 shilling silver coin. On the front is the number 1 and the pattern of thunder.
, and on the back is an angry human face.
On the side of the coin are engraved the words of the ancient elemental elves:
【May the thunder sweep away all evil.】
The way to use the relic is to eject it with any extraordinary force. The coin itself will turn into thunder, similar to the effect of "Thunder Gun" and "Sunshine Gun", but it is so powerful that it ignores most defenses such as [Headon's Seal].
, and can be used repeatedly. The disadvantage is that the user is easily struck by lightning, and it is not an ordinary thunder.
Laplace Howard's notebook said that he was studying this kind of coin and hoped to install thunder protection measures on the island. However, his research on this should not have made much progress. After all, Shade did not look at it on the night of the Battle of Green Lake.
Too much lightning.
As for the only sage-level relic, it is a pocket-sized lady's pistol [Faded Memories].
The name does not sound like a firearm, but at least it marks the key function of the pistol, which is "memory". The pistol, like Shade's [Gun of Kindness], is a revolver style. By adjusting the rotation of the revolver, it can be divided into three types
model.
The first mode is to shoot at a certain intelligent creature first to extract the memory it voluntarily contributes, and then shoot at the wall or flat ground to project the memory; or shoot at a certain intelligent creature again
, project the extracted memory into the other party’s mind, thereby manipulating the memory;
The second mode is to extract some kind of terrible and offensive memory, and the power of the memory attached to the bullet after shooting makes it have a strong lethal effect;
The third mode is to extract the memory of a certain creature, and after shooting, it will transform into the appearance of the corresponding creature, which is equivalent to summoning some kind of summoning object.
No matter which mode is selected, the pistol can only store six memories. And for the latter two attack modes, the effect of ladies shooting is much better than that of men. And Laplace Howard keeps this gun
, in order to extract the memory of Envy Edwards after the time exploration is over.
Of course, now that the memories in the six bomb chambers have been cleared, he has left nothing behind.
There are smooth silk scratches on the body of the pistol, the meaning of which can be interpreted as:
【Faded memories, unchanging strength, the most beautiful you and me.】
