Under the fluorescent light, this shiny thing shone with a faint light blue light in the water ghost gray. Lucien walked over and carefully picked it out with a dagger, and found that it was a silver-white ring.
The ring has a simple hollow pattern, a simple yet metallic color, and is inlaid with an unknown light blue gemstone the size of half a little finger on the front.
"Is it the ring worn on the water ghost's finger?" Lucien speculated as he bent down to pick up the ring and rubbed the inner layer of the ring with his fingers.
A cold metal touch came, and as expected, there was a circle of words engraved on the inner layer of the ring. Lucien carefully distinguished it and found that it was in Common Language:
"The human heart is often colder than ice and snow."
This ring looks ordinary, but when you look closely, you will feel that there is a mysterious and deep color in the light blue light.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Lucien calmed down his soul that had been hurt by the magic backlash, and slowly extended his recovered mental power.
As soon as he came into contact with the light blue gem on the ring, Lucien's slightly injured soul shook violently. He felt that there was wind and snow blowing inside the gem, and there was something far more complicated than informal hidden in the wind and snow.
The spell structure of magic.
Lucien sighed softly, with joy and slight relaxation: "It's really a magic ring. I don't know what level it belongs to. It seems to be a little more complicated than Benjamin's Holy Emblem of Truth. Maybe that's why this water ghost can
Is it the reason for the mutation?”
While speaking in his heart, Lucien withdrew his almost dry mental power. In this current state, he was unable to analyze the general magical structure of the ring, and he was unable to leave his mark on the core of the magic circle to drive it.
We can only analyze it after we recover our mental strength.
If Lucien has become an official magician and has learned a magic "appraisal technique", he can directly identify all first-level magic items. If he accumulates more knowledge, he can even identify second-level and third-level magic items.
, in this way, you can easily cast spells to understand its information without slowly analyzing its magical structure, and you can directly engrave your own spiritual power mark when there is no mental power mark left.
Most magic items often contain information left by the maker sealed to help users understand the use of the magic item, the reasons for its production, etc.
Of course, as Lucien's level increases, the "Identification Technique" will also become stronger.
According to the witch's records, magicians are very lazy in classifying items. They directly refer to the classification of magic and simply divide magic items into apprentice magic items, level one to level nine magic items, and legendary magic items.
The standard for classification is which level of magic the effect is equivalent to, or which level of knight's ability. Among magic items of the same level, there are simple four-level distinctions of low, medium, high and perfect, such as a ring seal.
If the three-ring magic "Lightning Technique" is sealed once a day, it is a third-level low-level magic item. If the "Lightning Technique" is sealed three times a day, it is an intermediate level. If some other auxiliary attributes are added, such as effectively weakening lightning
If the damage is 5% to 10%, etc., then it is a third-level high-level magic item.
If there is a constant magical effect, it will be upgraded by one level from the original level. For example, if a magic item has a constant "immunity to any method of detecting and affecting the mind" that is equivalent to the effect of the eighth-ring magic "mind barrier", then it is
A ninth-level perfect magic item.
The same is true for the grading of magic swords, armor, etc., which are basically equivalent to the attack power or defense power of knights of the same level.
Since the general structure and information of the ring had not yet been analyzed, Lucien did not dare to put it on rashly, but just put it in his pocket, because if it was the kind of item that would produce magical effects as soon as it was put on, it would
Trouble, this kind of magic effect is often a curse!
After putting away the first magic item in his life, Lucien raised his head happily, and saw the corridor filled with corpses and bloodstains. His face immediately became bitter. He still had to deal with the aftermath and deal with the scene. Of course,
The most important thing is to take out the brain tissue of this mutated water ghost:
"I haven't learned the informal magic of 'preserving organs', but I got the brain tissue of a water ghost. Fortunately, the water ghost is an undead creature, and its brain tissue can be stored for about three to five days. During this time, it should be able to
Let me learn to 'preserve organs'."
Although the name of this informal magic is "preservation organ", it can actually keep most items fresh. Each spell is effective for twenty-four hours and does not require casting materials.
Lucien used a dagger to cut open the brittle skull of the water ghost, and saw the deep black brain tissue inside, which was slowly squirming like countless insects hidden inside.
Ignoring this weird scene that made people feel chilly, Lucien took out the bag of cryolite and carefully put the water ghost brain tissue into it. They can be used to cast frost rays, and there is no doubt that they are kept fresh.
functional.
Then, Lucien, who understood that magic requires a lot of money, became greedy for money and robbed all the money bags on the corpses, including the two disgusting and terrifying corpses in the underground river whose brains had been licked. A total of thirty
Three denarii and fifty-two copper fils.
Among them, the old missionary man contributed the most. He contributed twenty-five silver and several copper fils. Jackson, the gang leader, contributed four silver and six copper fils.
Lucien couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw the silver coins shining with the lovely light of money and the copper coins filling his money bag.
However, during the process of searching the money bag, Lucien found that his vision was often blurred, his ears showed signs of hearing loss, his head was slightly dizzy, there was a dull throbbing pain, and he felt like he was stepping on a thick carpet when walking. Only later did he realize that
Afterwards, I realized that my soul had been hurt by the backlash of the forced interruption of magic, and apart from those few, the witch's magic potions were all apprentice-level. None of them could heal soul trauma. I was afraid it would take some time for me to recover.
During this time, spellcasting will definitely be affected.
After collecting the coins and replacing them with a cleaner dagger, Lucien began to do heavy manual labor. He threw the corpses one by one into the underground river, and used a long pole to send them all out of the big hole under the barbed wire and into the
into the Beren River, just like the corpses Jackson, Ska and the others had dealt with before.
As for Scar's heart, intestines, liver and other organs that fell to the ground, Lucien resisted nausea and retching, wrapped them in rags, and also sent them into the Beren River. The smell of their blood
, I believe it will soon attract piranha-like guys like the sharp-billed mullet.
After picking it up, Lucien actually got used to it, and even played with Scar's kidneys, feeling that he had the demeanor of a black magician.
Lucien wiped the blood on the corridor with a wet rag, then found a broken jar and filled it with some water to rinse it.
After confirming that there were no obvious traces left, Lucien washed his hands, tore off a piece of cloth from his scratched clothes, bandaged the spot on his right hand that was burned by the flames, and then walked towards the corridor around the corner. Now
You can't stay in the sewer any longer.
"The emergence of water ghosts does not seem to be due to a cult. Although they 'provided' corpses, what is the reason for that?" Lucien walked carefully while thinking about the brain tissue of water ghosts in his pocket, "By the way.
, does the appearance of those red-eyed mice have something to do with the cult, or is it the same reason as the water ghost?"
The witch had never figured out the origin of the red-eyed mouse. Now that Lucien thought about it, he couldn't help but think about it in the direction of a cult.
"Get up early tomorrow, before going to the Music Association, go out of the city to Sir Wayne's manor to find John, and tell him about encountering someone preaching." After a while, Lucien was thinking about what he should do tomorrow,
He looked around and carefully exited the sewer.
Then Lucien took the sulfur powder in his hand and sprinkled it on his body and surroundings. This not only masked his other breath with the strong smell of sulfur, but also made it impossible for possible cult and gang investigators to rely on the smell of sulfur to track them.
Own.
Due to his identity as a magic apprentice and the fact that the Beren River outside the barbed wire was full of water ghosts, Lucien could not go directly to the church to report, nor could he go out of the city from the Beren River to the vicinity of Sir Wayne's Manor. He could only try to erase and confuse the traces.
Pretending to be an innocent passerby in his own house, he was recovering his mental strength while waiting for dawn on high alert.
…………
In the sewer, the flowing underground river flows through the barbed wire fence, sending some of the garbage into a bend of the Belem River. Every three days, several trainee priests from the church will come here to perform magic and bury the garbage, holding magical items.
Cleaning up river water, etc.
After Lucien left, the corridor became quiet and deep, with only the fluorescence of moss shining quietly. Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly separated from a certain shadow without any warning.
He covered his mouth and chuckled with two opposite emotions of disgust and amusement: "Hey, Lord of Silver, Eternal Silence, don't think that no one will know you if you change the name. It seems that that person was influenced by him.
This is what he is good at. This time things started to get interesting. However, if he wanted to project it, there would be too much movement. Cardinal Alto was no stranger to him, and his strength was no better than his.
The projection difference.”
"Or maybe there are other remnants of the ancient magic empire deep underground in Alto that he can use?"
"But after being destroyed like this, when the church starts searching the sewers carefully, his plan may not succeed. Maybe he has other preparations."
"My plan has to change. There is no need to attract hatred to myself, as long as things can be completed."
"Hehe, the little guy has learned ancient magic. He can mutate himself into the 'Wall of Sulfur Fire', an apprentice-level fire magic that was newly created more than 300 years ago. He seems to be very talented in magic. It's really interesting.
brat."
As he chuckled, the black shadow twisted for a while, splitting into countless small black shadows and disappearing into the sewer.
