Whispering Verse

The appearance of [Moonlight Great Sword] was expected, but as for the other magical skill [Toy Manufacturing], it was completely unexpected.

Shade directly came into contact with the relic [God's Gift Box] and the spiritual rune [Toymaker] produced by the whispering element. This is another spiritual rune with a relatively specific meaning, and the potential for developing thaumaturgy is very low.

If [Moonlight Great Sword] is purely offensive thaumaturgy, then [Toy Manufacturing] is purely auxiliary thaumaturgy.

As long as Shade has enough spirit and a large enough cloth, he can turn any object without supernatural properties into a toy. As for the creature, it must have enough trust in Shade to be turned into a toy by him.

Although the real owner of little Mia is not Shad, after living together for a month, the cat definitely trusts Shad enough, so last night it tried for the first time and turned it into a toy under Shad's clothes.

Of course, it may also be because the silly Mia cat is too innocent.

When Shade invited Luvia to test the thaumaturgy [toy making], even though the female diviner was prepared, after using a sheet, no matter how the sheet was covered on her body, the thaumaturgy could not work.

"Humans have richer minds and are not as simple as small animals."

This is the explanation given by Shade. Luvia certainly trusts Shade enough, but this trust has not yet reached the level of Mia Cat who can trust everything.

"If I could be turned into a toy by you, I would also like to read the past stories you told me."

Luvia expressed regret for this, and so did Shade. The task of the ancient god is not easy. If he can bring a group of helpers, even if no one can face the gods like him, at least he can make many effective suggestions. And not only through the Time Corridor, he can even take people to fast travel in Tobesk and Coldwater Port City at will...

"Speaking of which, since Mia can be turned into a toy, why not take her to see the sea when I have time."

This is what Shade thinks when he is bored.

In this way, Shade and Luvia spent a peaceful Friday morning together in Saint Teresa Square. During this period, they saw groups of soldiers several times, following clergymen wearing clerical robes, hurriedly walking on the roads around the square. After the cultist succeeded in summoning the god for the second time, but the god was expelled by another god, the [Lord of the Blood Feast]'s sect would remain dormant for at least twenty years even if it was lucky.

The God Summoning Ceremony is not that easy, and the consumption of two times is enough to bankrupt a small principality. Coupled with the city-wide manhunt by the Righteous God Church, even without the "fair" duel witnessed by the ancient god last night, Shade did not have to worry about violent revenge from the evil god.

The next time I see the [Lord of the Blood Feast] come to the material world, maybe Shade has been promoted to the Thirteenth Ring, or even become a true god.

In her spare time, Luvia also asked Shade out of curiosity and awe how he felt when he was "with God." She listened completely to Shade's memories of last night, and carefully asked about various details, making exclamations from time to time.

People in this world have an innate fear of God. Unlike outsiders like Shade who try to become gods and have a weaker sense of awe, anything related to God must be considered by people in this world. Be very careful.

The gods here are not powerful people, but high-dimensional beings in the true sense. Thursday’s experience illustrates well that if you don’t have God’s power, it’s best not to overestimate your capabilities and fight against God.

"All unknowable (level 0) relics must be related to gods, but not all relics related to gods are unknowable. Even among unknowable relics, as far as I know, there are only no more than Ten pieces can have a weak effect on God.”

Luvia enthusiastically told Shade these things that ordinary ring magicians didn't understand, and thought that he was lucky enough to be the vessel of the old god. It was not okay not to know these things.

In fact, absorbing and burning divinity did give Shade some fragmentary knowledge. But probably because the divinity absorbed it too thoroughly, the knowledge lay quietly in the deepest part of his head like golden gravel. "She" said that she could try to piece together and understand, but it would be a long process. Maybe she would surprise him at the right time, but it was best not to raise too much hope.

"Speaking of which, in addition to level 0 relics, are other dangerous level relics likely to have any effect on gods?"

Shade asked again. He thought it was impossible, but unexpectedly Luvia nodded:

"Things related to gods are rarely spread in private, but I do know an angel-level (level 1) relic that has a slight effect on gods. Shade, in fact, most students at St. Byrons know about it, because it belongs to St. Byrons. The angelic relic [Enemy God's Note] belongs to the rumored thirteenth-ring warlock, Miss Myrna Feliana, the founder of St. Byrons. I don't know the specific characteristics, but it is said that the holder When encountering evil gods, you can get some effective escape ideas from the notes."

Luvia was sitting at the coffee table checking the letters, while Shade was sitting at the dining table holding the cat and reading the newspaper. At this time, he stopped petting the cat. He suddenly had a strange premonition.

"The witch of the fifth era had many strange experiences, and that relic, according to ancient legends, was the notebook used by Miss Feliana when she taught students around the campfire according to the more ancient mentor-apprentice etiquette."

The style of Miss Feliana's notebook quickly appeared in Shade's mind. During last night's time travel, the witch by the campfire was listening to Shade's story while writing and drawing in the notebook. No one could read it. understand the content and finally summarized some useful suggestions. Once this kind of item that records knowledge about God transcends eras, the possibility of becoming a relic is indeed very high.

"Oh, ring magicians like Miss Myrna Feliana, but in our era, the female ring magicians in St. Byrons are all admired... Shade, what's your expression?"

Luvia asked curiously, Shade shook his head and hid his face behind the newspaper.

The morning was spent like this, and at noon, Luvia was still cooking in the kitchen. Her cooking skills are not as good as Miss Louisa who once used this kitchen, but since someone is willing to cook for Shade and Cat, of course he will not say inappropriate words.

During lunch, Luvia shared with Shad what she had learned while looking through the stack of letters. Most of the letters are written in cipher text, which requires diviners to decipher, and most of the contents have nothing to do with them.

After briefly looking through it all morning, the only useful clue I got was the hiding place of the [Counterfeit Philosopher's Stone]. This relic was the beginning of a series of things that Shad came into contact with, and it finally appeared after this series of things ended.

"In the statue held by the Chief of Police in Ridwich Field, only the Silver Eyed One knows about it. The Chief of Police is actually related to [Mercury Blood]."

Luvia said while stirring her own vegetable soup with a spoon:

"Also, he sent someone to kill your client, Mrs. Lawrence."

Shade stopped eating and looked at the couch in the living room. The death of that generous lady was what he regretted most at the moment:

“The police chief has a bright future, so what’s the point of getting entangled with these illegal organizations?”

"[Mercury Blood] is his thug, helping to deal with some inconvenient things. This also explains that [Mercury Blood] can do so many things locally, but it has not been destroyed until today,"

Luvia said that she did not care about these things, but wanted to know from the letters that the vampire carried with him what exactly it was doing in the Tobesk area.

"You should tell the doctor about this relic as soon as possible. It would be bad for the church to be one step ahead."

Shade said while grabbing the bread, and then thought about meeting the doctor at the charity banquet.

Although Dr. Schneider left in time because of Shade's appearance, thinking about it now, the doctor's luck was really surprisingly bad. If Shade hadn't met him on the first floor, the doctor would have encountered the evil god at close range. Shade now fully understood why when he met other members of the team, they all thought that Dr. Schneider had used a relic of overdraft luck.

"Doctors have really bad luck."

Tear the bread in your hand and dip it into the soup. This is a very common way of eating in this world.

"It is indeed abnormally bad. I think it may have something to do with the demon you mentioned. I have never heard that demons can reduce luck. In short, there will definitely be a way to solve Dr. Schneider's matter."

Although the evil god's matter has been resolved, there are still many things waiting for them ahead.

The martial law in the city will not end until 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then there will be a curfew that will last for a week, so they are still not allowed to go out in the afternoon. Shade had originally planned to take advantage of the time he had today to ask Luvia about divination and try to see if he had such a talent. After all, the female diviner's performance was really impressive when she broke into the ruins.

Unexpectedly, not long after lunch, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"Iluna came back early?"

Shade asked suspiciously, walked to the living room window to take a look, and raised his hand to signal Luvia not to be nervous:

"The familiar carriage is that of Duchess Carina Cavendish."

The female diviner also followed Shade and looked downstairs. She had not seen the Duchess's carriage, but she seemed to think of something and frowned:

"Shade, can you answer my question? Is that powerful sage-level (level 2) relic [the ancient witch's gold necklace] borrowed from the duchess?"

Shade was stunned and shook his head:

"refuse to answer."

"Well."

Those purple eyes looked at Shade inquiringly:

"So, is Carina Cavendish the Archwitch of the Witch Council?"

Sometimes Shade really admires her thinking ability.

"Still can't answer."

"Then I understand, that's how it is."

Luvia nodded slightly, then looked at Shade with the eyes of a magical creature:

"When did the witches start getting close to men? How did you do it? Oh, no need to answer, I just sighed. But you have to be careful, the reputation of witches is not very good, be careful not to be deceived."

Shade went downstairs and opened the door, but the person inside the carriage was not the Duchess, but her personal maid, Miss Tifa Servit. Still wearing the familiar and cumbersome maid's dress, she folded her hands on her lap and looked a little out of sorts. Inviting Shade to get in the carriage and follow her, Miss Carina was waiting for the young detective at the manor.
