At five o'clock in the afternoon, the witch on the train asked Xiang De. They had set off for a while, and they would probably be able to return to Aurora Manor before six-thirty in the evening.
At this time, Shade was holding an orange cat that was slightly frightened by the earthquake in the town, although Shade thought it was most likely faking.
"Before I set off, I was always worried that I would meet Darkness in the town, or that old lady Ilar had not given up, but was trying to sacrifice us to the gods."
Shade replied.
"Darkness has been away from Cold Water Port for a week, and there is no way she will appear here. As for Ilar, she only has the second ring. Do you look down on me too much?"
The witch asked with a smile, Shade shook his head:
"I just didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time. I thought that obtaining every spiritual rune would require a thrilling adventure."
"Most of the time, but not every time. How dangerous is your life?"
Shade smiled sheepishly:
"However, I saw some illusions when I came into contact with the statue of the god. It seemed that the old god was just a powerful and strange creature wandering underground in ancient times, but later became a god after devouring the power of the ancient god in the earth.
.So, what exactly are the Old Gods? The Ancient Gods are the original gods. Are the Old Gods individuals who gained the power of the Ancient Gods and became gods?"
Even a thirteen-ring warlock would not engage in this kind of discussion about gods. But witches are more powerful. The origins of these power systems are similar to those of women in the previous era, and they are obviously bolder.
Miss Aurora looked serious:
"There is no answer to this question, and the weight of knowledge cannot be ignored, but since you have figured it out for yourself, I can also tell you some things I know. Yes, I have read the secret book of the Worm Order, although I have not
It is stated clearly, but the most secret information hints that the power of [Earth-Shaking Worm] comes from the ancient god [Earth Mother Goddess] who is in charge of the earth, the four elements, and the foundation stone. Yes, Shade, most of the power of the old gods,
They come from the ancient gods who have gone away. They were powerful and strange existences in the distant ancient era. Due to various reasons, they obtained the residue of the power of the ancient gods and became gods. Of course, according to the records of the parliament,
Only some of the old gods are like this. There is even a saying that even the five righteous gods"
She suddenly closed her mouth and looked cautiously at the top of her head, as if she was worried about a bolt of lightning striking down.
Shade was so surprised that he even forgot to continue caressing Mia, who was sleeping. He had always been curious about the source of the power of the old gods, but he didn't expect to find out by asking casually.
The lady with long brown hair sat upright and seemed to regret what she had just said to Shade:
"Let's change the topic. Ever since I saw that statue, I still have the illusion that bugs are crawling on my arms. Let's not discuss gods anymore. Shade, what do you think of this sect that is about to die?"
Shade was very cooperative and didn't ask any more questions, but he also knew that an organization like [Witch Council] must have a lot of information he needed:
"There will always be people leaving, and there will always be people coming back. The demise of anything is part of the laws of nature. I just lamented that the believers of the evil god actually seem to be kind. It just looks like it."
"The things she did when she was young were enough for the law to hang her ten times."
The witch said, looking at Shade, and seeing that he had no reaction, she said again:
"I thought you would suggest that you go back and kill her now."
"Madam, do you think I am a stereotypical knight from classical chivalry novels?"
Shade asked, holding the cat, and added:
"There are so many bad people in the world. I even bet that at least half of the civil servants in Tobesk City Hall must have committed crimes, but will I try them one by one?"
Miss Aurora laughed.
"Am I wrong?"
Shade asked sheepishly.
"Half? Oh, you think City Hall is too clean."
What the witch cares about is completely different from what Shade cares about.
In short, the second-ring blasphemous spiritual rune [Shock] is probably the easiest spiritual rune that Shade has obtained so far. And he doesn't even have to bother to find the corresponding thaumaturgy to learn by himself. Old Mrs. Ilar directly gave it to him. He has a thaumaturgy related to this, and this thaumaturgy is very powerful.
[Psychic Explosion] is quite a classical supernatural ability. According to Miss Aurora, the prototype of this thaumaturgy can even be traced back to the Second Age or even the First Age.
The effect of thaumaturgy is also very simple. By casting spells, the enemy's soul is shaken, causing short-term interference in the opponent's thaumaturgy and spell casting. For objects with weak soul power, it can directly damage the opponent's soul. If used skillfully, With this ability, you can master the memory cleaning skills to a certain extent.
Of course, since the effect of thaumaturgy is too crude, if you want to use [Psychic Blast] to cleanse your memory, you must be prepared to make the other party a fool.
This miraculous technique can only be mastered by spiritual runes that correspond to the upper and lower derivative concepts of [soul] and [vibration]. Depending on the user's level and the number of spirits, the effects it can have are different.
As a thaumaturgy that works on a single target, when used at a high level, it can even turn ordinary people into madmen or fools with a look. However, when used by low-level warlocks like Shade, the main effect is to interfere with and damage the soul.
After all, this is just to use spirits and elements to shake the opponent's soul, not to use the soul to shake the opponent's soul. Otherwise, Shade, who has two drops of divinity in his soul, would even dare to go directly to Ivan Darkness for a duel.
As a thaumaturgy mastered through independent learning, thaumaturgy requires not only fingers, but also casting materials. Because the spiritual runes are [vibrations], the casting materials must make up for the lack of "soul".
The spellcasting material mentioned in the knowledge provided by the old lady Ilar is "psychic crystal", which is an expensive and rare alchemical product. It is used by ring magicians who are proficient in alchemy and psychology when exploring the world of other people's dreams.
A product of nightmares or dreams transformed into the real world.
Although expensive, this is not a consumable spellcasting material. As long as Shade can find it and let it touch his fingers every time he uses thaumaturgy.
Old Mrs. Ilar doesn't have such a thing, and Miss Aurora doesn't have it in her hands yet. If Shade wants to find specialties from the New World, she can help, but the witch also needs to raise money to find this precious material for spiritual alchemy.
But Shade didn't let the witch help anymore. She had provided enough help this time. He planned to ask Dr. Schneider for help. After all, the doctor happened to be good at this. Even if he didn't have it in hand, he would definitely have a way to get the goods.
"However, I thought that old Mrs. Yilar would give me [Earthquake Technique] or other thaumaturgy."
This is the emotion that Shade expressed during the boredom of the train journey.
"If it only causes small-scale ground shaking, many thaumaturgy techniques can do it, but it has no use value at all. If you try to step on the ground with your feet to cause a real earthquake, you can't learn that kind of thaumaturgy without a high ring."
Miss Aurora said.
"Why go to Gaohuan?"
"Do you think earthquakes are just vibrations below the ground that are transmitted to the ground? Although this is theoretically the case, nature and the world itself have power. Therefore, it is easy to summon wind and snow like the 'God Caller', but if you want the real meaning
It’s too difficult to change the celestial phenomena in reality. Guess how much time and gold the murlocs spent in order to call for that red ocean?”
From this point of view, Shade still has a lot of common sense to learn.
After returning to Coldwater Port, Miss Sylvie Aurora invited Shade to stay at the manor for dinner together, and then Shade left to return to Tobesk.
Without disturbing Dr. Schneider at night, and reading for a while after returning home, Shade rested in a guest room with unpainted walls on the first floor that was left alone. The four-poster bed with brass pillars was chosen by Miss Tifa Servit.
The style and curtains were very much to Shade's liking, but the mattress was too soft and made him uncomfortable to sleep on.
The orange cat, on the other hand, likes the soft mattress very much.
