"If it's not what we're looking for, we won't take it away, you can guarantee that."
"No need to guarantee, I believe you. Judging from the four questions just now, you are the most upright person I have ever met... Are you really not the holy son of a certain fallen old god?"
Miss Bayas asked with a smile, but she also knew it was impossible.
Shade shook his head:
"Since you trust me so much, then we will share this thing equally."
Shade firmly controlled his cat, and then carefully placed the withered yellow finger bones he had been holding on the table:
"You stopped the person who was using the relic. I found this relic, so we share it equally. Now tell me, what kind of relic is this? Does it really have the property of making people immortal?"
Shade let out a long breath, and the cat's tail touched his chin:
"I'm curious."
"Yes, I am fully aware of the characteristics of this relic. After all, the conflict between me and the tomb robber Hawthorne has been going on for a long time. That happened when I was training in the Holy See. I went out to see the world with a small team, and then...
....."
She paused and showed a lonely smile:
"I met the tomb robber Hawthorne and the silver-eyed man, but I was the only one who survived. Whether it was the captain who took good care of me, or the funny old gentleman who liked to tell jokes during the operation... Detective, today
You are considered to have taken revenge, one-half of it."
This is the first time that Shade knows why she is so obsessed with the silver-eyed man:
"Next, I have to dig out the silver-eyed person's eyes with my own hands to settle this matter... I won't talk about this anymore, let me introduce this [relic], a secret-keeper-level relic, [Inferi Corpse]
Bones]. As for immortality, it is indeed possible to achieve a certain degree of immortality.”
She held her chin and said in a mocking tone.
"Are there any side effects?"
"The side effects are quite serious. Under the full red moon, I inserted this phalanx into my heart to kill myself. Then, the body was buried in the cemetery. After being resurrected for 24 hours, I had a nearly immortal body. No.
It will age and has no fatal point. Unless it is burned to ashes at once, it is extremely difficult to kill. But from now on, the user must ensure that the [Inferi Remains] cannot leave their surroundings and cannot be touched by anyone, otherwise they will be immortal.
will disappear, and its own strength will decline sharply until the [Inferi Bones] are regained."
This is why Miss Bayas almost immediately won after Shade got the finger bone.
"Those who have acquired immortality through [Inferi Remains] will have bodies that are almost the same as corpses, but will not decay. All emotions will gradually disappear without any physiological reactions including eating. According to what I read in the church library
According to the information, once the undead characteristics are obtained through the ritual I mentioned, the undead will become more and more like a living corpse within 10 years, until the soul and mind are completely obliterated, and the undead become a true inferi. This process is irreversible, even if the relics are lost,
It only loses its immortality, and the progress of corpse transformation will not change."
"Oh, that sounds terrible."
Shade commented dryly, he knew that "immortality" was not so easy to achieve.
Holding his cat, he stayed away from the bone on the table. But now that he knew its characteristics and understood that the carvings on it were not triggering spells, he tried to decipher the meaning of those strange words——
【Those who fear death will eventually become a part of death.】
Although the side effects of this phalanx are powerful, the positive effect of giving the user a certain degree of "immortality" is equally powerful. It is indeed a rare keeper-level [relic]. The same dangerous level that Shade has seen and heard of
The relics are the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], [The Ring of Metamorphosis], [The Forged Philosopher’s Stone] and the dismantled [Puppet Operator’s Script]. Almost none of these things are simple.
The [Gear of Kindness] held by Shade was restrained by the immortal relic. He thought it would take a long time for him to encounter something similar.
But neither he nor Ms. Bayas had the idea of using [Inferi Remains]. One of them is an academy ring warlock who has been specially trained, and the other is a young sorceress with great potential in the Church of the Righteous God. They both have bright futures, so there is no need.
Gain power with this dangerous relic.
Therefore, the two people's final opinion was to sell it. They were both short of money.
"I was transferred to this parish just a few months ago and am not familiar with the local black market. Detective, you can handle it. After selling it, remember that half of the money is mine. Don't worry about the stolen goods. The things on the gravedigger's body.
The church can’t trace it, and no one knows where he dug it up.”
"You just trust me so much? Aren't you worried about me running away with the money? It's because of the four questions just now."
Shade asked, and then heard the cat in her arms yawning. Mia noticed Shade looking at it, so she buried her head in her belly, and the cat shrank into a ball.
"I said, I trust you. Since I trust you, I won't doubt you. I have a unique talent of being able to know a person's balance of good and evil, which results in me having very few friends."
The young girl said, sighed, and looked at Shade's cat:
"Detective, since we want to continue to cooperate, I must remind you that you must be careful in the recent period. You are still only a first-level warlock, and this world is very dangerous for you."
This was not the first time that Shade had heard similar words.
"I won't say much about the recent incident at Lakeview Manor. The more secretive thing is that last night, at about the same time, the evil god stared at the city, and then the unknown high-level warlock directly launched an attack in the city.
I have created a mysterious lock that has been rated as almost a 'miracle'... Detective Hamilton, I have very few friends, so you must be careful."
Shade didn't know how to respond to this. He didn't plan to tell Miss Bayas for the time being that those things were related to him, but wanted to wait until Miss Anat had gained complete trust.
"I will be careful."
"Detective, I really envy your life, leisure, safety, freedom..."
Miss Bayas looked at the lazy orange cat and murmured to herself, "Everyone has their own troubles." Shade looked at the tired girl in front of him and had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
"Speaking of which, how old are you this year?"
The stranger suddenly asked, and Miss Bayas was stunned:
"Seventeen years old, what's wrong?"
Only young girls can tell their age without caring.
"nothing."
He felt even more pity for her.
The voice in his ears chuckled, seeming to be in agreement, but also seemed to be mocking. The chosen one was entangled with infinite fate. At this moment, Iluna Bayas was right in front of Shade. Shade looked at her, really
