At first, Rawls named the cane the "Stand of Fairness" because its negative effects were too weird. It was necessary to keep the "vision" state and the "machine" state for the same time, otherwise it would trigger negative effects and doom.
haunted.
The disappearance of the ability of "spiritual vision" makes it impossible for the "Stand of Fairness" to ensure fairness, and the negative effects will also change accordingly, which is related to a new ability after the evolution of the cane - "notarization".
In addition to the characteristics left behind by the "Lucky One", the production materials of "The Fairy Rod" also include the tail feathers of the spirit bird, which is the main material of "Notary". The newly fused extraordinary characteristics are those that died in Rawls
A "notary public" in the hand greatly improves the newly born cane's "notary" ability.
The ability of effective notarization can be greatly improved, and the ability of invalid notarization will be weakened and forcibly dispelled. However, every time it is "notarized", one of the cane's own abilities and the holder's extraordinary ability will be randomly disabled, and the invalidation time will be at least
More than twelve hours.
Although Rawls is now the "briber" of Sequence 7, he does not possess many extraordinary abilities. The "barbarian"'s "roar" and "madness", and the "briber"'s four kinds of "bribery", these are almost enough.
Let him simply give up the ability to use the cane.
But the cane itself has many abilities. There are three abilities of the "Monster" path: "Divination Staff", "Monster Speech", "Emotional Detachment"; "Fair Contract" of the "Sun" path, and the new ability
"Summon Holy Light", "Fire of Light", "Purifying Slash", "Holy Oath".
This leaves a lot of room for error when using the "notarization" ability, and you don't have to worry about it becoming a Sequence 7 without extraordinary abilities after using it multiple times.
In addition to this negative effect, the ability of "Notarization" has no effect on the extraordinary abilities of the "Moon" and "Mother" pathways. Rawls guessed that the cane should have been contaminated by the moon, that is, the "Fallen Mother Goddess"
The monster developed PTSD in his body.
Similarly, as an extraordinary item of the "Sun" path, it has the negative effect of gradually transforming the user into a believer of the Eternal Blazing Sun, but it has no effect on Rawls. The status of "Uncertain Mist" is much higher.
Although the disappearance of the ability of "spiritual vision" makes it impossible for Rawls to see evil spirits, ghosts and other spiritual entities, the fact that he is holding a cane makes it difficult for spiritual beings to approach him.
Rawls looked at the golden cane, holding it and walking further and further on the road of assistance. First, he did a "bribery-weakening", then the "notarization" ability was invalidated, and finally he shot his head with the cane.
However, the name "Stand of Justice" is no longer suitable. Let's call it "Stand of Power", which symbolizes dominance like the "Emperor" card.
Just as Rawls put his stick aside, preparing to take out the "contract" signed with Detective Zerrell, and use the "Wand of Power" to divine his whereabouts, Alicia's voice sounded.
“What are the negative effects of a cane?”
"Negative effects?" Rawls was stunned. Yes, how could he know the negative effects of the cane? He is neither a divination nor an "appraiser", so he should not know the negative effects of extraordinary items!
Will Asceptin's bonus?
"This is the ability He bestows on the beloved to avoid the negative effects of magical items."
Alicia explained and then added:
"You can do it by reaching Sequence 7, so that the negative effects of magical items will be distorted and will not affect you."
It turned out to be a passive thing! Rawls wanted to learn how to do this with Alicia after reaching Sequence 7, but there were too many things to do, and Alicia often disappeared, so he forgot about it.
All rules are beneficial to oneself, even the negative effects of magical items. In this case, Rawls' ability will not be deprived before the "Scepter of Power" ability is completely deprived.
After telling Alicia about the negative effects and speculations of the "Scepter of Power", she nodded to show her agreement with Rawls's point of view.
…
No. 78, Red Brick Lane, East District.
This was originally the residence of the Zimenger Party. In the previous month, someone attacked here and killed the "executioner" Meursault. The party leader Laird disappeared. The original Zimenger Party members were afraid that the attackers would come again. East District
The people were afraid of retaliation from the Zmange Party, and after being surrounded by the East District police for another week, they emptied out.
In the secret room of No. 78, a man with short tawny hair was hung on a cross, with his arms spread and tied, and his head lowered. Through the dim light, you could barely tell that he should be a mature and handsome man, but he was just a man.
His face was numb, his nose and saliva were smeared on his face, and he dropped to the ground.
Two men who could be identified as Intis from their appearance were sitting casually on both sides of the secret room, looking at the man hanging on the cross from time to time.
"Why do you think Emperor Russell invented this kind of punishment? Is there any special significance to hanging people on the cross?" The man on the left yawned.
As if he was infected, the man on the right also yawned, covered his mouth and said:
"Who knows, the emperor always seems to like to get some special things, but now except for us, no one in Intis is using this kind of punishment."
"We have been watching here for almost two weeks. Isn't Mr. Backlund still planning to kill this guy? Is it still useful to keep it? Colonel Joseph's interrogation methods are not even able to be sustained by an extraordinary person. An ordinary person can't stand it."
It's impossible for people to hide anything in front of him!" The man on the left yawned again.
"It seems to be working,...why did you fall asleep..."
Two men, one on the left and one on the right, were asleep, and two figures were outlined in the secret room.
Rawls looked at the man tied to the cross and used his cane to lift the man's chin. The saliva and snot immediately flowed down his face. Fortunately, he quickly pulled the cane back and prevented the "Scepter of Power" from being used.
"Sticked to these disgusting things.
Turning back, he nodded towards Alicia who was holding the "Soul Singer". Alicia's pale and bloodless fingers passed across the pale green gums, and a pale mist flashed across her fingertips. The dentures
He began to open and close his semi-black and semi-transparent dentures up and down, and invisible waves spread out.
The negative effects of this extraordinary item are quite serious. Even Alicia needs to be careful when using it herself. After Rawls received it, he put it aside without even touching it.
As one of the transparent teeth of the "Soul Singer" turned black, Rawls also felt a little tired, and the main target of "Requiem", Zerrell, also gradually regained consciousness. Intis Embassy Joseph
Colonel Pu's "interrogation" made him extremely mentally unstable and showed signs of becoming an idiot.
If it hadn't been for the confirmation that he had said everything he needed to say, and if there had been no interrogation in the past two weeks, he would have gone insane.
When Zerrell recovered a little and wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, a familiar feeling came over him. There seemed to be electric currents running through his spirit, connecting into a thorny whip, constantly beating the soul. This "taste" came back to him.
The pain and numbness seemed to come from deep in the brain, making people unable to resist. They could only tremble and their knees became weak.
This feeling seemed to be stronger than the previous interrogation. Before Zerrell could open his mouth to beg for mercy, a man's voice rang out, with a pure Backlund accent.
"Your name, identity."
So now he is in the hands of MI9?
"Zeriel Victor Lee, Feysac's intelligence officer, is responsible for intelligence collection in the bridge area." The hope of survival surged in Zerel's heart.
"Where is Ian Wright?"
It's a familiar question again, but he really doesn't know.
"I don't know where he is. They only come once a week or even two weeks. Ian has his own way outside. I haven't asked him."
"What is the latest information he has submitted to you?"
Zerrell's lowered head shook slightly, and his tone was low:
"No, he hasn't submitted any useful information recently. It's all information from gangsters. And before I was arrested, he didn't come to me for two weeks."
Rawls frowned. Things were different from what he thought. Ian did not tell Zerrell about the clues about the Hermoshuin manuscript, so how did the Intis Embassy know about it.
"Didn't he mention any clues or information about manuscripts or books?"
Zerrell understands, but now he just wants to save his life:
"No, he didn't tell me."
Rawls carefully recalled the clues about the Hermoshuin manuscript. The original work was discovered by Ian. After reporting it, the spies buried in the Fusac Intelligence Organization by Intis knew about it. Backlund asked the Zmange Party to hunt down Ian.
, and then Ian meets Klein.
Met Klein?
No, it was the wrong time. Klein came to Backlund at least in mid-September. After all, Qilinges had not assassinated Duke Negan yet, and today was September 1st. And the Intis Embassy had already sent Zellings to him.
It's been a while since Riel was captured, so it's possible that Ian hasn't found Hermoshuyn's manuscript yet?
Then why did Intis arrest Zerrell?
Rol's held his chin. Zerrell was of no use at all now and knew nothing. Only those who found Ian or the Intis embassy might know why. Judging from the conversation between the two people in the secret room, they knew
Not many.
Looking at Zerrell on the cross, it seemed that the Intis Embassy could only be thrown into complete chaos.
After an unknown amount of time, the man on the left side of the secret room rubbed his eyes and found that his companion had fallen asleep. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong and rushed to Zerrell, ignoring his runny nose and saliva and holding his chin.
Check your breath.
The man instantly collapsed on the ground, looked at his sleeping companion, and suddenly got up and kicked his companion.
…
"What did you say? Zerrell is dead?" Backlund stood up from behind the desk, pressed his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and stared with his blue eyes at the middle-aged man wearing the uniform of Colonel Intis opposite him.
man.
The middle-aged man has a rough face, a thick beard, and blue eyes but he dare not look at Beckron. He is Colonel Joseph, the defense attache of the Intis Embassy.
Josep understood very well that although his family had a certain influence in the Intis military, he could not be allowed to squander the family's power wantonly. The last time the embassy was infiltrated, he was very responsible and was blamed by his family.
, something happened again this time, and it also involved the issue of the Hermoshuin manuscript. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through this.
If there is no way to remedy the situation in the future, Josep may have to be transferred back to China along with Beckron. Although he is a Sequence 5 "Retribution Knight", he will inevitably be marginalized. As for being promoted to demigod, there will be no hope.
"How did he die?" This is what Backlund wanted to know. Hermoshuin's manuscript not only involves his future, but also his life, and there cannot be any mistakes.
"It must be an over-interrogation." Josep lowered his head. He had not interrogated Zerrell for two weeks and only visited occasionally. After all, unlike Rosago, his identity as a defense attache was not easy to conceal.
"Should it? Overinterrogation?" Backlund asked two rhetorical questions in a row, and then slammed the table, "Did I ever say, don't use the army's style of interrogation! Did you only use the 'Interrogator'?
means!"
In the past, Beckron would never have said this with his character. Although he was the highest official of the embassy, he had two Sequence 5 Beyonders under his command, as well as a person with a profound background like "Artisan" Bergman.
people.
For them, Backlund would always lower his status and discuss with them how to deal with some matters. But now he has reached the edge of the cliff, and there is no room for luck.
"I did not use bloody methods." Joseph finally raised his head, and the majesty of the "Punishing Knight" was revealed, "He has been imprisoned for two weeks, and he is just an ordinary Beyonder, even an 'Interrogator'
It is also difficult for him to bear the tactics. If he were not an intelligence officer, he would have died long ago."
Backlund spread his fingers and pushed his hair back, pacing in the office. He had almost vented his anger, but his "conspirator" instinct still made him suspect that there was something wrong.
"Are you sure someone didn't sneak in there and kill Zerrell, such as the 'Law Mage' who sneaked into the embassy?"
Based on Archbishop Horamik's judgment last time, the Intis Embassy had a certain understanding of the demigod spying in secret, a female "law mage" who had at least two sealed items on her body.
Joseph was a little hesitant. This was what his two subordinates said. Even after he passed by, they made a similar judgment. However, if a Sequence 4 "Law Mage" had done it secretly, it would not necessarily be the case.
"Are you not sure?" Backlund walked up to Joseph and looked at each other with two pairs of blue eyes, and he could see hesitation in it.
Joseph did not deny this possibility and nodded:
"Yes, I don't have enough understanding of the methods of demigods."
Backlund turned and walked to the desk, turned around and walked to Josep again, holding his shoulders:
"Use your own methods and carefully question your two subordinates to determine if there are any other factors interfering with this matter."
Before Josep could object, Beckron's hand on his body suddenly became stronger:
"You should know what this involves!"
Joseph closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and replied:
