Whispering Verse

Dr. Schneider was not admitted to the hospital, and his problems were not something ordinary doctors could diagnose and treat. When Shade and the old priest met him in the doctor's bedroom on the third floor of the clinic, he was weakly leaning on the bed in his pajamas, talking to Miss Anat and Miss Louisa, who had arrived one step ahead.

There are two chairs next to the bed, obviously prepared for two gentlemen.

The layout of the doctor's bedroom is very similar to that of the dead Detective Sparrow. The same four-poster bed with curtains is placed against the wall of the bedroom, surrounded by bookshelves, wardrobes and desks. Even the shape of the gas lamp with a lotus flower mouth on the desk is similar, but obviously the doctor's one is more expensive.

Shade saw the gear knob on the side of the metal appliance, which meant that the lamp could finely adjust the brightness. This could be regarded as a typical representative machine of this steam age.

"You are here."

Bill Schneider looked pale as the priest and detective walked in. He wanted to sit up straight, but unfortunately failed.

Miss Anat and Miss Louisa also stood up to greet the two of them. The former just looked at Shade as if the conversation last night did not exist, while the latter looked completely recovered. The girls were luckier than the doctor. much better.

When Shade picked a chair and sat down, he glanced around the room and found no gifts or anything like that. It seemed that the female diviner and the female writer came to visit the patient empty-handed. This discovery made Shade very happy.

"I'm glad to see you all here."

The doctor whispered, watching Shade and the priest sit down.

"Bill, stop talking. How is he doing now?"

Priest August asked Miss Anat, and the lady with short brown hair replied with some annoyance:

"He forcibly used the word of sublimation without any preparation. The damage to his body was not bad, and your potion could solve it. What's strange is that the decrease in life span did not appear, but the spirit and soul were affected. Extraordinary damage."

Shade thought of the sulfur smell he smelled at that time, and the injured doctor smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, no one asked him about this issue.

"Then, the only way I can think of is Holy Water No. 2 or No. 1, which can completely and harmlessly solve this problem."

Priest Augustus said that he was the best at preparing potions in the group and also acted as the healer in the group. After all, although Dr. Schneider is a doctor, he is also a psychiatrist.

"Holy water?"

This was the first time that Shade heard this proper term. Miss Louisa explained to him in a low voice:

"The Holy See of the Church of Nature has mastered a set of five [relics], ranging from poet level to angel level. They are said to be five angel statues. Soaking them in dew can convert the dew into holy water with different effects. Known as Holy Water No. 5 to No. 1.

Holy water puree itself is a very effective potion and has a powerful effect on exorcism. After proper preparation, a variety of magic potions can be prepared. Among them, Holy Water No. 1 will not be leaked out, and Holy Water No. 2 has been agreed upon by the Five Gods Church and is a standard supply for the ring warlock team of the Zhengshen Church. A doctor's injury that requires diagnosis and treatment of the soul would probably require a similar magic potion to cure it. Otherwise, it is a more precious potion or relic. "

“Is there any stock in the local black market recently?”

Priest Augustus asked worriedly, sitting hunched over in his chair.

Miss Louisa explained in a low voice:

"It is said that the expensive holy water that occasionally appears on the local black market is released and sold by the church."

"Not at the moment, but I contacted a friend in Kasenrick, and he has some inventory, but it will take at least a month before he can send it over."

Miss Anat replied.

"Is there any other way?"

Shade also joined the conversation, but Priest August shook his head:

"If he rests, I'm afraid Bill won't be able to get out of bed until the end of the year. In the past, our team had a clerical-level therapeutic relic [the doctor's severed hand] that can heal the soul. Unfortunately, it was lost during a fight with others last year. Over at the academy You can think of a way, but the academy's method is usually...very expensive. This is not an ordinary injury, an injury to the soul and spirit, even your blood-sucking ring cannot cure it."

"The blood-sucking ring was destroyed. When I faced the Shadow of the Evil God yesterday, both of my relics were destroyed."

Shade said regretfully.

"That's normal, Shade. You're really brave."

The doctor reluctantly smiled at Shade:

"You saved us all at Lakeview."

"Some special healing thaumaturgy, spells or divine spells can also heal soul and mental wounds, but we are not good at such abilities."

Priest Augustus said again.

"Among the free thaumaturgy given to me by the academy, [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] should be a healing ability and specialize in mental and soul healing. I learned it last night."

Shade said that the divine afterglow state and the increased understanding of [Silver Moon] made him very confident in this ability. Unfortunately, this ability can only be used at night.

[The afterglow of divinity does not make you omnipotent. I think that you must upgrade to at least level 3 before you can use thaumaturgy to affect the doctor's condition. 】

The murmur reminded.

"If Silver Moon's gift..."

The writer Miss Louisa thought for a moment, and now, except for the seriously injured doctor, the female writer from the Fourth Ring is the strongest one in the group:

"This should work, but you are only a first-level warlock, so I don't think it will be very useful. Otherwise, there would be no need for Holy Water No. 2 or No. 1."

She agreed with the woman's voice in Shade's head.

Miss Louisa then ordered:

"Then we still need to think of other ways, Anat. You can go to Old John's place and have a look later. Priest, please ask if the Church of Nature will release the next batch of holy water in the near future. After I go back, I will read the article "Healing Fountain" Read the ancient fairy tales a few more times and try to see if you can obtain healing magic.

As for you, detective...you don't show your face these days. "

All four people looked at Shade. Shade hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to talk about this topic:

"The last Silver Moon Slash that night..."

"No need to explain, everyone has their own secret. And, thanks to you for killing Lasoya, otherwise our identities would have been exposed. Even now, we have to face the pursuit of [Mercury Blood], Maybe there is also the [Blood Spirit School], the priest wrote about this."

Dr. Schneider said leaning against the bedside table. He coughed, and Priest Augustus hurriedly handed over the teacup. What was inside was not tea, but some dark potion that smelled like mint.

"What exactly is the Blood Spirit School? I have heard of this organization more than once recently, but I don't know much about it."

Shade asked again, and Miss Anat, who was from the Prophet Association, provided more information:

"Some information shows that the [Blood Spirit School] can even be traced back to before the lost Third Age. This organization is good at flesh and blood, and it was already quite active in the Fifth Age of Witch Era. They tried to purify blood... ..."

The female diviner paused for a moment, thinking whether she should continue:

"Let humans evolve. This group of people believe that our current Sixth Age is the lost Brass Era, and only by purifying blood until it is golden and tracing back to the most primitive power of human bloodline in ancient times can we achieve the final evolution of humans and achieve 'gold' Human beings'. Of course, there is no evidence to support these claims."

"Not only that, the [Blood Spirit School] was pursued by secular forces and the Church of the Five Gods at the same time due to a large number of human experiments and massacres and sabotage operations. Decades ago, the main body of the organization was transferred to the New World. In the Old World Only a few strongholds of the Kingdom of Delarion still remain.”

Miss Louisa said.

"Also, there is a thirteenth-level warlock in the [Blood Spirit School], the 78-year-old 'Bloodweeper' Hermons. He is very powerful. If he hadn't been killed by Zhengshen thirty years ago when he was in the twelve levels, He was seriously injured in an ambush by the church, and the [Blood Spirit School] will not be so low-key in recent decades."

The priest also said that other people in the group seemed to have different understandings of this organization.
