"Power? You are too weak. The power I have is not suitable for you."
This once again proves the strength of the other party, which Xia De is convinced of.
The woman paused for a moment before continuing to speak, as if she was thinking. The temperature in the room has returned to the same level as in the corridor, indicating that the other party's mood has returned to normal:
"But I happen to have a good [relic] in my hand, but its value is far less than that of the statue of the old god... No, it's not the [Dark Box], it's just a poet-level (level 5) toy
That's it. How about I give you a clerical-level (level 4) relic and tell you the secret about [Mercury Blood] to help you avoid danger in exchange for the address and the spell?"
"No problem, thank you for your generosity, ma'am."
Since there is no need to spend money to say nice words, Shade is happy to use the "Northern Common Language Gift Pack" in his mind to translate Chinese into foreign language with a translation accent to praise the other person.
But this time, Shade did not take the initiative to tell the content of the spell. Of course the woman inside the door knew what he meant:
"Recently, a sage-level [relic] appeared in Tobesk City."
The first sentence was a bit surprising. He thought the woman was going to talk about the Keeper-level relic [Fake Philosopher's Stone] related to [Mercury Blood]. Shade had seen the academy's bounty from the doctor.
make.
But fortunately, it is only a sage level (level 2), not an angel level (level 1). But if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely that you will suddenly encounter an angel level relic. After all, Sha De still has a certain degree of confidence in his luck.
of.
The woman in my heart laughed again.
"This is actually not a secret. At least the church and the academy know it, as well as other guys who have spies in the local area... That relic of the sage is the [God's Gift Box], and a certain person has the ability to create
The old gods, tools once used."
The woman behind the door said in a teasing tone:
"The person currently in possession of this sage-level relic is the Blood of Mercury, and they are classified as an illegal organization.
Due to some reasons, Mercury Blood is temporarily unable to move this relic, so the [God's Gift Box] is still in Tobesk City. The power of the relic is very powerful, and every ring warlock who touches the box for the first time will automatically know it.
A synthesis formula, putting specific relics into the box in a specific order, can synthesize a more powerful relic that must be suitable for you. Detective, do you understand?"
"I probably understand."
Shade memorized this information carefully. This was the information about the first [Sage-level] relic that he came into contact with.
"This is somewhat similar to the synthesis in alchemy, but the side effects of the sage-level relics... Diack, the 'Silver Eyed One' with mercury blood, seems to think that he can master the angel-level through that box.
(Level 1) The synthesis method of the relic [Mercury Blood]..."
The woman was laughing, but the laughter was far less beautiful than the laughter in Shade's mind at this moment.
"The Silver Eyed Man attempts to use this sage-level relic that cannot be taken away to synthesize real mercury blood. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the [Mercury Blood] organization, in order to pursue a [relic] that may not exist.
.....So, this group of people came to this city with some messy things, including that statue. It is said that there are also several very good [relics], but unfortunately I only want this statue at the moment."
"Then what do you think of that sage-level relic, [God's Gift Box]?"
Shade said hesitantly. He was very doubtful that if what the woman said was true, whether the academy who knew about it would tell the truth to the ring magicians who taught correspondence courses in the area.
If he tells the truth, then the reward order seems to be a bit evasive. Therefore, the college reward order he saw at the doctor's office is probably "looking for traces of the [Mercury Blood] organization" is the real purpose.
The counterfeit Philosopher's Stone is just incidental.
The academy does not currently plan to share this information with correspondence degree ring wizards.
"I am not interested in that item at all. I know what that box is, so I will never touch it. It only appeared in the autumn of 1068 in the Fifth Epoch. It is very ancient and very powerful... If
I am you, and in the next few months, I will definitely be hiding from [Mercury Blood] in this foggy steam city, and those people are almost going crazy now."
"Okay ma'am, thank you very much for the information. Here is the spell..."
It took a few seconds to memorize what the woman said word for word, and then he took the initiative to say a six-syllable mantra. After finishing speaking, he added that this was due to the effect of his core spiritual rune, which allowed him to know
of.
But the woman didn't seem to care about this sentence, just like she didn't care why Shade was able to make the [Dark Box] lose control easily.
"Very well, detective. I appreciate people like you. This is a pretty good commission. Then, please keep this [relic]."
There was the sound of a drawer being pulled from behind the door, and then the sound of footsteps. But when the door was finally pushed open, it was only a young maid who walked out. She looked in her twenties, and had a classic thick black and white look.
Maid uniform.
Her long black hair was covered with a white hair accessory. Because she was not working in the kitchen, there was no apron as Shade imagined outside her maid's dress.
This was definitely not the lady Shade was talking to. The outline of the lady behind the door was described by the color of gold in the darkness just now, and she was very different from the black-haired maid.
After the maid opened the door in the corner of the bookshelf, she immediately returned the door to its ajar state, preventing Shade from having a chance to see the "noble lady" inside. Then she cautiously held a small square box in both hands and came to Xia De.
In front of De, the box was wrapped in red velvet. He held it with one hand, opened it with a snap, and showed Sha De the ring embedded in the lining.
The faint smell of blood was captured, but neither the naked eye nor the [Echo of Blood] could see that the ring itself was stained with blood.
The ring had the texture of sterling silver, and as for the surface of the ring, it was made of yellow amber wrapped in an unknown insect. The insect looked like an ordinary flying mosquito, but its body was bloody, as if it could come alive from the amber in the next second.
【You have come into contact with ‘Whispers’.】
"The clerical relic [Vampire Ring], if you wear the ring in an injured state and directly contact the skin of any humanoid creature, you can absorb the other person's blood to heal yourself.
It cannot cure diseases and curses, but it can alleviate them. However, if the injury that needs to be healed is too severe, it may cause the blood of the person being contacted to be drained in an instant... But do not use the ring as a means of attack, even if you are willing.
Don’t harm yourself, this is a clerical relic. If you often use the ring’s ability to treat yourself, it will cause you to suffer from symptoms such as blood thirst.”
This is the woman inside the door explaining that she did not hide the situation of this relic:
"In its uninjured state, don't wear it, at least don't wear it for a long time, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen. Of course, even if it's not because of the side effects of the relic, it's best not to wear it easily, because this is what I learned from [Blood of Mercury]
】It was taken from there, they don’t know who took it, so...you should be so cautious."
Shade didn't know for a moment whether he should complain about the conflict between the other party and [Mercury Blood], or whether he should think about the relationship between [Mercury Blood] collecting so many extraordinary items related to [blood] and the synthesis formula.
