Whispering Verse

"Power? You are too weak. The power I have is not suitable for you."

This once again shows the strength of the other party, which Xia De is convinced of.

The woman paused for a moment before continuing to speak, as if thinking. The indoor temperature has returned to the same level as the corridor, indicating that the other party's mood has returned to normal:

"But I happen to have a good [Relic] in my hand, but its value is far less than that of the statue of the old god... No, it's not the [Dark Box], it's just a poet-level (level 5) toy That's it. How about I give you a clerical-level (level 4) relic and tell you the secret about [Mercury Blood] to help you avoid danger in exchange for the address and the spell?"

"No problem, thank you for your generosity, ma'am."

Because there is no need to spend money to say nice words, Xia De is happy to use the "Northern Common Language Gift Pack" in his mind to translate Chinese into otherworldly words with a translation accent to praise the other party.

But this time, Shade did not take the initiative to say the content of the spell. Of course the woman inside the door knew what he meant:

"Recently, a sage-level [relic] appeared in Tobesk City."

The first sentence was a bit surprising. He originally thought that the woman was going to talk about the Keeper-level relic [Fake Philosopher's Stone] related to [Mercury Blood]. Shade had seen the academy's bounty from the doctor. make.

But fortunately, it is only the Sage level (Level 2), not the Angel level (Level 1). But thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely that he would suddenly encounter an angel-level relic. After all, Shade still had a certain degree of confidence in his luck.

The woman in my heart laughed again.

"This is actually not a secret. At least the church and the academy know it, as well as other guys who have spies in the local area... That relic of the sage is the [God's Gift Box], and someone has the ability to create An instrument once used by the old gods.”

The woman behind the door said in a teasing tone:

“The person currently in possession of this sage-level relic is the Blood of Mercury, and they are classified as an illegal organization.

Due to some reasons, Mercury Blood is temporarily unable to move this relic, so the [God's Gift Box] is still in Tobesk City. The power of the relics is very powerful. Every ring warlock who touches the box for the first time will automatically know a synthesis formula. By putting specific relics into the box in a specific order, a more powerful relic that must be suitable for them can be synthesized. Detective, do you understand? "

"I probably understand."

Shade memorized this information carefully. This was the information about the first [Sage-level] relic that he came into contact with.

"This is somewhat similar to the synthesis in alchemy, but the side effects of the sage-level relics... Diack, the 'Silver Eyed One' with mercury blood, seems to think that he can master the angel-level through that box. (Level 1) The synthesis method of the relic [Mercury Blood]..."

The woman was laughing, but the laughter was far less beautiful than the laughter in Shade's mind at the moment.

"The Silver Eyed Man attempts to use this sage-level relic that cannot be taken away to synthesize real mercury blood. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the [Mercury Blood] organization, in order to pursue a [relic] that may not exist. .....So, this group of people came to this city with some messy things, including that statue. It is said that there are also several very good [relics], but unfortunately I only want this statue at the moment."

"Then what do you think of that sage-level relic, [God's Gift Box]?"

Shade hesitated and said that he was very doubtful that if what the woman said was true, whether the academy who knew about it would tell the truth to the ring magicians who taught correspondence courses in the area.

If told truthfully, then the reward order seems to be a bit evasive. Therefore, the college reward order he saw at the doctor's office was probably the real purpose of "looking for traces of the [Mercury Blood] organization", and the forged Philosopher's Stone was just incidental.

The academy currently does not plan to share this information with correspondence-study ring wizards.

"I am not interested in that item at all. I know what the box is, so I will never touch it. It only appeared in the autumn of 1068 in the Fifth Epoch. It is very ancient and powerful... If I am you, and in the next few months, I will definitely be hiding from [Mercury Blood] in this foggy steam city, and those people are almost going crazy now."

"Okay, ma'am, thank you for the information. Here's the incantation..."

It took a few seconds to memorize what the woman said word for word, and then he took the initiative to say a six-syllable mantra. After finishing speaking, he added that this was only known due to the effect of his core spiritual runes.

But the woman didn't seem to care about this sentence, just like she didn't care about why Shade could easily make the [Dark Box] lose control.

"Very well, detective. I appreciate people like you. This is a pretty good commission. Then, please keep this [relic]."

There was the sound of a drawer being pulled from behind the door, and then the sound of footsteps. But when the door was finally pushed open, it was only a young maid who walked out. She looks like she is in her twenties, wearing a classic thick black and white maid uniform.

Her long black hair was covered with a white hair accessory. Since she was not working in the kitchen, there was no apron like Shade imagined outside her maid's dress.

This was definitely not the lady Shade was talking to. The outline of the lady behind the door was described by the color of gold in the darkness just now, and she was very different from the black-haired maid.

After the maid opened the door in the corner of the bookshelf, she immediately returned the door to its ajar state, preventing Shade from having a chance to see the "noble lady" inside. Then he very carefully held a small square box in front of Sha De with both hands. The outside of the box was wrapped in red velvet. He held it with one hand, opened it with a click, and showed Sha De that the box was embedded in the lining. ring.

The faint smell of blood was captured, but neither the naked eye nor the [Echo of Blood] could see that the ring itself was stained with blood.

The ring has the texture of sterling silver, and the surface of the ring is made of yellow amber wrapped with unknown insects. The insect looked like an ordinary flying mosquito, but its body was red, as if it could come alive from amber in the next second.

[You came into contact with ‘Whispers’. 】

"The clerical relic [Vampire Ring], if you wear the ring in an injured state and directly contact the skin of any humanoid creature, you can absorb the other person's blood to heal yourself.

Diseases and curses cannot be cured, but can be alleviated. But if the injury that needs to be healed is too severe, it may cause the blood of the person being contacted to be drained out in an instant... But don't use the ring as a means of attack, even if you are willing to harm yourself, this is a clerical-level relic. Frequent use of the ring's ability to heal oneself will cause symptoms such as blood thirst. "

This is the woman inside the door explaining that she did not hide the situation about this relic:

"In its uninjured state, don't wear it, at least don't wear it for a long time, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen. Of course, even if it's not because of the side effects of the relic, it's best not to wear it easily, because this is what I learned from [Blood of Mercury] 】It was taken from there, they don’t know who took it, so...you should be so cautious.”

Shade didn't know for a moment whether he should complain about the conflict between the other party and [Mercury Blood], or whether he should think about the relationship between [Mercury Blood] collecting so many extraordinary items related to [blood] and the synthesis formula.
