Gallo took Amiya along the hidden alley and quickly returned to the Miya Church, where he met the old bishop to discuss the matter.
The old bishop was still awake, holding a picture book and telling stories to the little kittens; the five little furballs were lying in the cradle-like cat nest, listening attentively.
When they saw Gallo coming back, they quickly jumped out of the cradle and rushed over to rub Gallo's legs.
"Why did you come back so late?"
The old bishop closed the picture book and asked a little strangely.
"I encountered some special circumstances..."
Gallo then roughly recounted what happened before, but omitted the part where the officiant died suddenly.
Because he didn't notice this at all, he still can't figure out how his perfect disguise was exposed, and he still wonders if the other party has some wonderful detection methods.
After that, Gallo took out two more captured trophies from his sleeves.
The pool of golden liquid remained the same without any change, and he put it into a teacup.
But there's something strange about that black blood...
When he first took out the cup containing the black blood from his sleeve, there was no reaction, but before Gallo could remove the blocked potato, he saw that the potato was instantly dyed black.
And it's not just dyeing, those black substances are still twisting on the surface of the potatoes, as if they want to get closer to the cup containing the golden liquid?
As soon as the little kittens saw the dark potatoes, they immediately let out a series of "meow, meow, meow" calls and hid behind Gallo. They looked very afraid of this thing and did not dare to look at it twice, let alone
Curious as usual when seeing something new, I walked over to it and scratched it with my little paws.
This is fear derived from animal instinct.
Seeing this, the old bishop quickly activated a confession spell: Cage of Light.
This is a fourth-level divine spell. Its main function is to imprison the target and seal the target's strength and mobility. It is generally used to capture alive and interrogate dangerous targets.
With the activation of the magic, a halo of light suddenly appeared around the teacup, and the black substance stained with potatoes also subsided a little, and the twisting was not as violent as before.
The old bishop frowned slightly. Logically speaking, the effect of this magical spell should be more than this.
The effect of divine magic has been weakened?
"Come and try."
The old bishop suggested again.
Gallo quickly cast a Cage of Light.
The halo of light cast by the old bishop around the teacup also disappeared.
The moment the aperture disappeared, the black substance on the potato suddenly twitched, as if it was about to bite someone.
But the circle of light cast by Gallo immediately appeared around the teacup.
At this moment, you can see that the black substance on the potato faded away quickly, as if it had been washed away by water, and the whole potato returned to its normal appearance.
But this normal state only lasted for a second, and the potatoes quickly turned gray and white, and finally turned into wisps of cotton-like fluff.
Gallo blew a little, and the floc disintegrated into a pile of dust and fell into the tea cup.
There was still a pool of black substance stuck to the bottom of the tea cup. They stopped twisting and finally became quiet.
Seeing this series of changes, the old bishop couldn't help but frown and asked:
"You also cast the fourth-level Cage of Light? No modifications were made?"
Gallo nodded and replied:
"I don't like using this magic very much, and I haven't modified it yet."
He felt that a magical spell like this, which could only have a control effect, was of little significance. If he could just kill the enemy, there would be no need for control.
If you need to capture someone alive, then beat him to half death...
If he absolutely needs to control the enemy, then he will also choose the sixth-level 'Sacred Shackles'. This one has a better effect. It can release the sacred chains and tie people tightly into rice dumplings...
Moreover, the holy flame can be released from the chain at any time. If the enemy resists and breaks free, he can be burned directly.
"If you say so..."
The old bishop lowered his head slightly and thought.
He is also at the fourth level, and my magic was offset by his. This should be caused by the personality gap. My personality is no longer as good as this kid...
My magic has no effect on this pool of black blood, but his is very effective...
Is this a purely magical effect?
Or is it the role of personality?
If it's the latter, that's a problem...
The old bishop made some inferences and came to a very shocking conclusion:
Is it possible that these unknown black bloods are of a higher status than humans?
Although it may not be too high, it is not as high as the gap between ordinary people and demigods. If the mortal person's personality is 1, then the demigod may be 5, the true god may be 10, and this pool of black blood may be 2
or 3.
This can obviously suppress the power of mortals...
And the star angels with this kind of black blood flowing through their bodies are probably of a higher status than mortals. If anyone below the demigod level confronts them, I'm afraid they will be suppressed...
It seems that the Witch Cult did not lose unjustly?
This conclusion was so terrifying and dangerous that the old bishop couldn't help but get goosebumps.
If there were more of these star angels and gathered into an army...
Thinking of this, the old bishop seemed to understand why the royal family's attitude had suddenly become so tough recently, and why it favored the Morning Star sect so much.
The gods no longer respond to humans, and the royal family gains a powerful new ally...
But all this is his temporary speculation.
In order to further confirm his idea, the old bishop quickly asked Gallo to bring Lilian Luo over.
Gallo quickly went to Lilianro's room and knocked on the door.
As a result, I heard a crisp scream from behind the door:
"ah!!!"
Gallo was startled, thinking something had happened, and quickly broke in.
As a result, he saw Lilian Luo curled up in bed, with tears brewing in her eyes, and trembling, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying.
He was holding a stuffed hammerhead shark tightly in his arms, as if this furry toy could protect him.
Beside the bed, there was a book. It looked quite new, not from the underground library.
"What happened?"
Gallo asked quickly and walked over.
"Woo..."
Lilian Luo let out a pitiful whine, threw herself into Gallo's arms, and rubbed hard against his chest.
"What happened?"
Gallo looked puzzled, touched Lilian Luo's little head with one hand to express comfort, and picked up the book beside the bed with the other hand.
"Selected Horror Novels"
This is one of the many miscellaneous books that Youlan bought back when she went shopping last time...
And Lilianluo was hiding in her room alone reading this kind of book. The more she read, the more afraid she became. But the more afraid she became, the more she wanted to read it...
Then Gallo knocked on the door suddenly, frightening her and thinking that the ghosts and monsters in the book were coming to find her.
"No...you are a dragon after all? Are you afraid of these things? They should be afraid of you, right?"
"And this is a church..."
"Woo..."
Lilianluo kept shaking her head and suddenly made a very willful request:
"I want to sleep with you at night..."
Gallo shook his head without hesitation:
"No, no, you are already a mature young dragon. You have to learn to sleep alone..."
"However, I can sleep with you first."
"But it's not time to sleep yet. I still have some things I need your help with."
With that said, he picked up Lilianluo's delicate body and returned to the old bishop's room.
The old bishop probably told Lilian Luo about the situation and asked her to use dragon-like confinement magic to test the control effect on the black blood.
Lilianluo listened quietly at first, but when she heard the old bishop say that this was some kind of monster's blood, which seemed to be still alive, her golden twin tails stood up all of a sudden, and her little feet wearing only white stockings were all numb.
Curled up into a ball.
Maybe you imagine this thing as a monster in the book?
Gallo was really helpless and slapped Lilian on the head with a fierce slap.
She seemed to be back to normal now, and she quickly got down from Gallo's arms, and followed the old bishop's instructions to use dragon magic.
In order not to interfere with the effects of magic, Gallo dispelled his magic in advance.
The moment the magic was lifted, the black mucus at the bottom of the tea cup began to move again.
But as soon as Lilianluo's magic touched them, they became quiet again.
After this experiment, the old bishop was basically able to confirm his speculation...
These black bloods actually have a status similar to that of a giant dragon, and are higher than mortals.
This result sounds a little ridiculous and a little sad.
Then, the three of them conducted more experiments.
While maintaining confinement, drop a small slice of potato into the cup.
There will be no change in the potatoes.
But once the confinement is lifted, the potatoes will quickly turn black and remain black for a period of time.
After that, the potatoes will turn into fluff and then dust like before, and the black blood will become slightly more abundant.
It was like being swallowed up by this black blood.
Throwing in leaves, pieces of meat, etc. will cause a similar situation, but the speed of swallowing is somewhat different, with pieces of meat being the slowest to swallow.
But if you throw stones or other dead objects, there will be no change.
It can be seen that this blood has the property of swallowing contaminated items and allowing itself to proliferate.
If this thing is drunk into a person's stomach, it should quickly occupy the human body and slowly swallow up the person's activity.
In this process, it should produce some kind of changes in the human body...
The Morning Star Sect may have discovered this and tried to take advantage of this change to create the Star God Envoy...
The good news is that if it is kept in confinement for a long time or is not allowed to come into contact with active objects, the black blood will slowly solidify into crystals and lose its ability to move and swallow.
And although this thing can squirm in various ways, its speed is actually slower than a snail.
So you don't have to worry about this thing eating people everywhere.
But if you add a drop of golden liquid to the coagulated black blood, they will quickly recover.
The old bishop suspected that the golden liquid might be some kind of nutritional supplement, so he asked Gallo to ask Youlan to help analyze it.
