Whispering Verse

The third one, [Deathbringer's Sickle], is an active attack thaumaturgy.

This thaumaturgy is very similar to Shade's [Moonlight Great Sword], which summons a spiritual weapon from the void, which is a weapon composed of elements and between the physical and non-physical weapons.

The characteristics of Shade's [Moonlight Sword] are extremely sharp and special damage to evil creatures, while this [Deathbringer's Sickle] hinders wound healing and special damage to undead and undead creatures.

This kind of thaumaturgy is usually quite precious, because the effect of thaumaturgy will increase greatly as the level of the ring sorcerer increases, and it can easily produce chain effects with other spiritual runes owned by the ring sorcerer. If Priest August was not willing to provide it for free, Shade wanted to see the information about this thaumaturgy, at least he would have to spend a gold pound no less than the material cost of rescuing the priest.

"This is interesting."

Although Shade already has the [Moonlight Great Sword], and he has a strong preference for sword weapons, there is nothing wrong with mastering one more weapon. The scythe is also in line with the application range of [Blade of Chaotic Space and Time], and the length of the scythe is obviously longer than [Moonlight Great Sword]. . .

"In addition to the spiritual runes, the learning requirements also require a near-death experience. This is simple. I even really stepped into death. Also, it requires casting materials, a small piece of black cloth. Oh, this is really cheap."

Shade turned the paper to the next page:

"Ritual materials, 30 pounds of black crystal (approximately 13.6kg), an engraving of the deceased, two deep sea undead fish, Clara's special forged steel."

Apart from black crystal, Shade had never even heard of other materials. So I skipped the catalog of 17 materials and looked directly at the final estimate:

"Most materials are difficult to circulate in the market, so it is difficult to estimate the price. But if there is really a way to obtain these materials, then it will cost at least five figures in gold pounds?"

Shade didn't have to count on his fingers to know that "five digits" meant ten thousand. After foreigners came to this world, they had never even seen transactions in units of "ten thousand pounds".

He picked up the cider he bought for 3 pence and took a sip:

"It's a pity that my wallet doesn't allow it. But this thaumaturgy is really good. If you have money in the future, you can consider learning it again."

The fourth one, [Guide to Death], is an active thaumaturgy, but not aggressive. Moreover, to learn this thaumaturgy, in addition to the non-enlightenment spirit-like runes related to [Death], you also need to have [Moon]-related runes. Any kind of spiritual rune.

This is a thaumaturgy related to the concept of the "Pluto Moon" mentioned by Sister Devlin.

There will be no external sound and light performance when using thaumaturgy, but there are two effects in total.

During combat, the damage to undead and undead creatures can be greatly enhanced during use, and when used under moonlight, the effect will be enhanced.

When facing a soul that stays and is unwilling to leave, when using thaumaturgy, you can know the soul's thoughts through touch, and even obtain some memory fragments. For weaker souls, you can directly guide them to continue walking, instead of letting them figure it out and leave on their own like Shade did when he faced the two ghosts in the cemetery.

This effect is somewhat similar to Sister Devlin's own talent mentioned, but the nun only needs to "see" to read the soul's thoughts, and this thaumaturgy requires the soul not to resist and to touch it with her own hands.

"This is very good. Combined with the psychic-like effect of [Soul Echo], I will be able to know more things when I encounter corpses in the future."

Shade was thinking in his mind, sitting in the corner of the tavern, picking up the wine glass and taking another sip. This time it’s cider again, because Fort Midhill’s cider is very famous this season and is a local specialty:

"Moreover, enhancing the damage to undead creatures is not so much 'guiding death' for powerful souls as it is 'forcing death'."

Not only that, once [Soul Echo], [Psychic Explosion] and [Guide to Death] are combined, Shade can't even imagine what interesting effects will happen.

[Next time it’s foggy, you can go into the mountains and give it a try. 】

"No, no, no, I'm not that curious yet."

Although it is not as good as [Deathbringer's Scythe], this magical technique is indeed good.

What's more, in a strict sense, this thaumaturgy can be completely integrated into the ring warlock power system currently constructed by Shade. His current battle is based on [Silver Moon] as the core and [Time and Space] as the auxiliary. Guiding death and successfully connecting death with Silver Moon, it will be easily affected by other thaumaturgy with [Silver Moon] as its core in the future, and even produce evolutionary phenomena similar to [Echo of Blood].

Looking back at the learning conditions and ritual materials, there is no problem. But Shade did not intend to gather materials at Fort Midhill. The learning materials contained a large amount of undead and corpse materials, and Shade was worried that the local corpse materials in Fort Midhill would have problems due to the influence of the narrow room.

Anyway, he had a familiar place in Tobesk, so he might as well go to Mr. Copps' gravekeeper's cabin, maybe the other party would get some benefits for Dorothy's sake.

After choosing the thaumaturgy he wanted to learn, Shade went to the Home for the Blind and asked Ms. Michelle to help inform Sister Devlin that he had something important to say.

So Shade met Sister Devlin on the third floor of the Cassandra Auction House on Santa Carla Avenue, and naturally the great witch Cassandra Granny was also there, after all, this was her property.

Since Sister Devlin chose this meeting place, she probably didn't mind the witch hearing the next news, so Shade gave them the information written by Priest August.

The old witch and the gray-haired nun watched silently, while the maids from the auction house provided tea and snacks to Shade. The maids who can appear on such occasions are all the confidants of Granny Cassandra, and they are all ring wizards with witch powers.

As the oldest existing great witch, Grandma Cassandra has obviously higher quality followers than Miss Carina's followers. Gauchard even discovered that the brown-haired maid who poured him tea was actually A warlock of at least 7th level.

"Mr. Hamilton, where did you get this?"

After a long time, the old witch asked.

Shade shook his head:

"I can guarantee that the information is absolutely correct. I don't think even Miss Carina will ask about the origin of this information."

Seeing that he moved out of Miss Carina, Granny Cassandra did not ask further.

"Sister Devlin, I hope you can pass this information to the Orthodox Church. As for whether you want to get benefits from the church, I don't care."

For Priest August, this is not a betrayal of the church. He and Shade are both believers of Mr. Dawn, and those responsible for the incident at Fort Midhill are believers of the God of Nature [Lord of All Creation], and those are pagans.

"So, what do you want from me?"

The gray-haired nun asked, placing the file on the coffee table in front of her and placing her hands together in her lap. Although she looks like she is only in her twenties, she has the aura of a wise person who has seen through everything.

"You helped me rescue Priest August without making me pay any price. I think it's just like what you once said, goodwill is a bond, and if it is passed on, it will make the world a better place."

Shade said with a smile, and the nun nodded:

"At the weekend, I will send a special kind of blood to the home for the blind. Remember to pick it up."

"OK."

This time Shade did not refuse.

The information provided by Priest August seemed to be particularly important to the nun, so she took the information and left. Shade wanted to leave, but Granny Cassandra stopped him:

"Wait, young man, I have something to ask you."

Her expression was particularly kind.

"Please tell me."

"Don't worry, I just wanted to ask you if you want to make a few gold pounds?"

Of course Shade, who was short of money recently, wanted to agree immediately, but he still looked at her hesitantly:

"Sorry, what do you need me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous thing. Carina once praised you and said you were a very capable detective, so I want to entrust you to go to Fort Midhill Mechanical College to investigate the whereabouts of an antique. Folklore Professor John Dunn is an old friend of mine, you can go to him first and he will tell you the whole story."

"folklore?"

Shade happened to want to visit a local folklore professor to learn about twin worship, so the two things could be done together.

"Is that antique an ordinary item?"

"Yes, otherwise I will send the ring warlock next to me to do it."

Although Granny Cassandra is only the twelfth seat of the Witch Council, she also has her own circle of magicians like Miss Carina and Miss Aurora.

"no problem."

"Then as a reward, I will also give you a special kind of blood. Although some blood is special, it is not valuable."

Although Shade only needed one kind of blood to attend the last reception, Sister Devlin had already promised to give it. But just like bringing an extra kind of blood to the second cocktail party is a good thing, bringing an extra kind of blood to the last cocktail party is also a good thing.

"no problem."

He had not yet decided whether he should go into the mountains to find the witcher's sword first this afternoon, or go to the folklore professor first, so there was no need to think about it now.

"However, the twin gods. Although the old gods have left, maybe the power of that god can solve the problems of Lesia and Dorothy."

The blonde writer lady and the red-haired princess are not twins in the sense of blood relationship, but in Shade's opinion, even if they are real twins, they are not as closely connected as they are.

Thinking of this, Shade became even more interested in understanding the "Twin Gods". Even if this is not helpful in understanding the secrets of Fort Midhill, finding the third chosen one, or even finding a new divinity, it can help Lesia and Dorothy, which is what Shade has always wanted to do. .
