"But this is my last word of sublimation, and generally speaking, the power and effect of high-level words of sublimation will be subtly enhanced than those of low-level and middle-level words. In order to solve some of my own troubles in the future, this sublimation
I must take your words seriously.
You don’t have to worry about me, I just have an idea now. If I really want to implement it, Shade, I will ask you for help."
Any method of adding core spirit runes later in life is risky, unless the righteous gods directly bless the power, but this will not happen once in hundreds of years.
Shade strongly suspected that the third core spirit rune the doctor wanted was "Devil", and he was almost certain of his guess. Therefore, after the meeting that afternoon, he gave Vanessa to him and asked him to give it to him.
After the friends’ opera tickets were distributed to everyone, I left them specifically to talk to the doctor:
"Devil right?"
There were only two of them left in the reception room at this time. Shade leaned against the door and the doctor stood in front of the window:
"Yes."
He did not hide his thoughts from Shade:
"After swallowing the power of so many evil spirits, I am already very familiar with the nature of demons. In fact, I had this idea when I was promoted to the middle ring, but I didn't know you at that time, and I didn't have so many opportunities to swallow a new demon at each ring.
.
But the situation is different now. Now that I have the opportunity, I must try it."
He clenched his fist.
"So, I gave you the opportunity to try this bold idea?"
Shade asked back, and Bill Schneider laughed and said:
"Isn't my ultimate goal bold? You know what I want to do. And I feel that compared with what you do every time, what I do is not particularly unacceptable."
Shade is not a person who is easily persuaded, but the doctor's words really make sense. He thought for a long time but didn't know how to refute, so he could only continue to remind:
"If you really want to do this, remember to tell me before you act. No matter what ritual you use, you still need someone to help you, right?"
"certainly."
The doctor nodded and gestured with his fingers in the air. Balls of black smoke appeared in front of him until they formed eleven different marks. Those marks represented the eleven ancient evil spirits that were ravaging the material world:
"And now I still lack some necessary conditions. I have swallowed a total of eleven demons so far——
Gurrens, 1853 - Human pus, the arsonist - the fire demon Sokophis, the proliferating demon - Phanni, 1854 - the stone mirror demon - Goethe, the labyrinth demon - Yaru, the demon of doom - Fanariu
S.
If I really want to carve new core spiritual runes for myself, then it’s best to gather the power of thirteen different demons, so I’m still short of the last one.”
Shade carefully looked at the marks representing different evil spirits. Of course the doctor knew that 11+1=12. The one he talked about less should be the demonic power he possessed, the rumored power of the "Devil King".
"If you need a new demon, it's a pity that the demon in Vesta Glades was sealed away by the Church of Nature hundreds of years ago."
Shade said, knowing that the doctor had made up his mind:
"So you must have been unable to get the conditions for the ritual recently. Yes, I will help you, but while you are waiting for the new demon, you must think carefully about whether you really want to do this.
If you plan to go hunting for demons in other places, please tell me. Although I haven't had much leisure recently, it shouldn't be a problem to take a few days."
The doctor smiled and nodded:
"Meeting you probably really cost me most of my luck in the past few decades. But detective, you'd better go about your own business first. Have you collected all the sins of cowardice?"
Shade went to Vista Grove in the morning and came to the meeting in the afternoon. Of course he didn't have time to find a new copy of "Cowardice". However, Carina gave him more than one dossier, and now there is only "2 moments" left for Cowardice.
Although it won't be easy to get, it shouldn't be difficult.
It's just that Shade wants to finish dealing with the Cumming family's affairs before unlocking the key tomorrow morning, instead of pressing the time to open it tomorrow morning. In addition, today is Saturday, and the time after the meeting is defaulted to "Dorothy and Lacey"
"Ya's date time", so of course Shade would not tell Dorothy that he wanted to visit the victim or criminal.
Vanessa and Sirius didn't come to visit tonight, but Luvia seemed to have gone to visit them. So after dinner, when Shade and Dorothy returned home holding hands with the cat, they were the only two in the house.
indivual.
"We will continue to study the fairy tale "Crystal Light"."
Dorothy was very serious and responsible. After going home and washing themselves, she and Shade went to the study.
The prepared materials had been piled on the corner of the desk, but she did not immediately study these different versions of the story with Shade. Instead, she smiled and said to Shade:
??????????.??????
"In one week, Lecia and I have mastered the most famous thaumaturgy corresponding to this fairy tale - the Crystal Touch. Student Hamilton, please recall the effects of this thaumaturgy."
"Yes, [Crystal Touch] can transform life into crystal. This is a branch of human body transformation, and the crystals made by thaumaturgy have almost "eternal" properties. As long as they are not destroyed by external forces, time cannot damage them at all.
.”
Shade said seriously, and then couldn't help but praise:
"I remember you said that this is a standard high-level thaumaturgy. It's amazing that you and Lesia were able to learn it in a week without any foundation."
The blond writer nodded reservedly:
"Okay, Agelina is also practicing with Lesia, and I think she is almost mastering it, so the blood of this generation of Cavendish family is really powerful.
Let's get back to the topic. The thaumaturgy [Crystal Touch] is also considered to be a type of sealing technique. Even if the ancients who are resistant enough may be temporarily turned into crystal, they will recover within a certain period of time.
We didn’t find any living people to practice thaumaturgy, but look at this.”
She took out a lifelike crystal mouse from the box and handed it to Shade. Shade was amazed after taking it. The crystal mouse reflected an almost colorful light under the light of the gas lamp, which is something that ordinary crystals cannot do.
.
Plus it looks exactly like a real mouse, and it's nothing short of a work of art:
"Mia~"
So he put the crystal mouse in front of little Mia who was lying on the table. The cat said "meow~" but had no response. When Shade brought the crystal to its mouth again, the cat impatiently said "meow" again.
for a moment, then stood up, jumped to the window sill and lay down.
"The mouse's soul is no longer here. I thought the soul would also crystallize."
Shade said and Dorothy nodded:
"The story of "Crystal Light" says this. The young elf in the story was also made into an eternal statue. But the transformation and solidification of the soul is still too difficult after all. Besides, there is no enmity between me and this mouse, so there is no need.
Do such terrible things.
So I didn't touch its soul. After its body crystallized, the soul continued on its journey."
"May it rest in peace."
Shade prayed for this mouse that had helped him in his studies.
The story of "Crystal Light" is generally about an elf who cannot withstand the temptation, and finally, driven by desire, he becomes an eternal crystal. This simple fairy tale can become different as long as a few elements are added.
Version.
Therefore, although this elf fairy tale is not as famous as other fairy tales that Shade has been exposed to, Dorothy and Lesia still found many different versions.
Because the study of "Crystal Light" has just begun, tonight's class is for Dorothy and Shade to read these stories together. During this period, Shade asked whether he could learn the thaumaturgy [Crystal Touch], but many
Rosie does not recommend this:
"You often have your own understanding of fairy tales, and the meaning contained in this thaumaturgy is undoubtedly 'eternity'. Both Lesia and I are worried that once you learn this thaumaturgy, it will affect your subsequent perception of other powers in the story.
So even if you want to learn, it’s best to wait until you master the new puzzle.”
In fact, the thaumaturgy [Crystal Touch] can also work on dead objects, which means that this high-level thaumaturgy can also turn items such as water glasses into crystal products.
However, every Ring Warlock who masters "Crystal Touch" will be warned not to make crystal crafts when unnecessary. This kind of eternal crystal will not degrade over time once it is made, so in order for the material world not to last forever
Your future is filled with crystals, so you must be careful when using thaumaturgy.
"this is for you."
At the end of the course, Dorothy finally opened the second box she brought, and inside was a very bright red rose:
"I gave it to you, not Lesia."
She emphasized specifically, and then tapped her finger gently, and with a rustling sound, the whole rose turned into a white crystal flower:
"I'm not very proficient in thaumaturgy, otherwise I could turn it into a red crystal."
She pursed her lips and smiled and handed the rose to Shade. Her green eyes looked at Shade expectantly, so Shade held the crystal rose and kissed her on top of the table.
Then he tried it again with a handkerchief, and he was able to turn the crystal flower into a toy:
"So are the changes in Crystal Touch really absolutely irreversible?"
"Absolutely not, it's just irreversible under normal circumstances. Of course the gods have the ability to reverse the effects of mortal magic, and a few angel-level relics should be able to as well.
Other than that, there are only two ways. One is to force the caster to break the spell at the cost of serious injury; the other is to reverse time. Although the crystal is not affected by the passage of time and is damaged, it is not resistant to the reversal of time.
