Chapter 994: Sacrifice to the Old God

"Magical items? Oh, yes, of course."

The priest held the teacup and introduced with a smile:

"There are two basic characteristics. Based on the characteristics of 'angel', it praises death, and then injects its own spirit to actively stimulate, forming a special area within 30 feet (about 9.15 meters) centered on the badge. It can attack evil spirits Evil creatures such as , demons and so on cause relatively powerful attacks. Even if they cannot be defeated, they will never attack you under the light of the badge."

Because the experiment could not be carried out in the church, otherwise he really wanted to resuscitate the skeleton and let Shade try it.

"Based on the 'death' characteristic, when this badge directly contacts the wound of a flesh-and-blood creature for more than five seconds, the subject will be cursed with death. In the next period of time, organs will fail, muscles will atrophy, and various kinds of diseases will occur at the same time. The probability of disease is greatly increased. Although it cannot be said that you will definitely die, under normal circumstances you will definitely not be able to survive. Of course, when you call on the power of death in battle, this badge can also give you some help, but for you This enhancement is not obvious, after all, it is not as good as the blessing I personally gave you."

Priest August is not worried that Shade will use this badge to do bad things. If Shade wants to do bad things, he won't use this at all:

"You have to be careful not to let it touch your wound when you are injured. In addition to these two characteristics, this badge also has [the wearer will not become undead], [the wearer will not be actively attacked by the undead] , [resistance to instant death attacks], [enhancing magic spells related to the undead and angels] have small effects, but it doesn’t matter to you.”

Compared with relics and thaumaturgy spells, this badge has no side effects at all, and it consumes almost nothing when used. This is a magical item of the ancient gods in the true sense, and it is quite valuable even to Shade.

Of course, I specifically sought out Priest Augustus this morning, not only to find out the reason why the priest appeared in St. Teresa Square on Wednesday night, but also to ask about the information about the Old God Religion that I had entrusted the priest to find earlier this week. In Fifth Age 5177, the content of the second test of the old god [The Uncertain Wise Man] was to offer a sacrifice to the god, and the sacrifice must be some kind of "water". Shade hoped to find the source of the past sacrifices through the priest. material.

Although Priest August was very busy at the end of the year, looking up information was not a waste of time. After all, the information provided by Shade was very comprehensive. He did not take out the information, but dictated what he saw.

The Old God [The Uncertain Wise Man] is actually a very famous old god. This is partly because this god did not leave until the end of the Fifth Epoch, and partly because this wise man’s order was later corrected. The Church of God [the God of Creation and Destruction] has partially absorbed it, and most of the knowledge and inherited history have been preserved and preserved by the Church of Creation.

Priest Augustus has a very good reputation in the local area and has good relations with other pagans in the Five Gods Church. He can easily obtain the information disclosed within the church.

Just as the great witches of the Fifth Age know, the believers of the old god usually offer "clear lake water, morning dew, and the tears of babies when they are born" as sacrifices, because these are the most precious sacrifices. Immaculate water. The process of offering sacrifices is not just about placing the sacrifices in front of a shrine or holy symbol. Sometimes it is necessary to decorate the container with purple sage, eight-leaf lily of the valley, or petals of blue-leaf chrysanthemum.

The entire sacrificial process has been recorded and passed down to modern times. This sacrificial process itself is also a type of ritual. Repeating this process in modern times after the old gods have left can allow the ritual performers to improve their wisdom and inspiration within a certain period of time. It is a kind of ritual. A more basic ritual.

"Besides these information, is there nothing else? For example, special sacrifices?"

Shade asked curiously while sitting on a chair. Priest Augustus, holding a tea cup, stood in front of the window and looked at the snow, watching the children chasing and playing. The elderly always like to recall the past:

"Yes, I asked people to find some information that ordinary clerics like us cannot see. But you should not be able to find those sacrifices in a short time. For example, the spring water of the angelic relic 'Fountain of Youth'. "

Shade touched the cat and sighed. Mia looked up at Shade and also pretended to sigh.

The relic [Fountain of Youth] originally belonged to the Witches' Council and was the common asset of the great witches of the Fifth Age Council, but it was lost during the changes of the era. The great witches of the Sixth Age have been thinking about this relic, but they can't find it. Miss Carina complained to Shade about this.

Unlike the "mermaid's elixir" that Shade once sold to Miss Carina, although the spring water of the angelic relic [Fountain of Youth] is also impossible to confer immortality, it is more effective in maintaining appearance.

"However, the Witch Emperor Violet, I wonder if she carries this spring water with her."

He guessed.

"what else?"

"Liquified Philosopher's Stone."

This is even more difficult to find. If Shade, Miss Violet, and Miss Theresa had the Philosopher's Stone, there would be no need for the three of them to write a paper for the first test.

"Is there anything a little simpler?"

Shade hugged the lazy cat and asked again. The priest thought carefully for a while:

"The information I have seen is all information that can be disclosed internally. If you want to find more secret information, I'm afraid you need to find someone at the Holy See of [Church of Creation and Destruction], or wait until I contact my old boss. My friend, this will take some time. But don’t you know the ring magician from the church? I think you can ask your friend to try your luck."

After bidding farewell to Priest August, Shade braved the heavy snow and went to Blackstone Security Company. Even riding a horse-drawn carriage, you can feel the chill of the snowy weather. The talkative coachman chatted with Shade about the winter in Tobesk through the small window in the front of the carriage, and thus let Shade know that the area in the city that could pay for unified heating was less than one-tenth of the city's total area. .

"Then how do you keep warm in winter?"

"Bulk coal is sold in the mining area in the north of the city, and we will also prepare some firewood ourselves. The steam pipeline company allows families to modify the pipelines and connect them to their own stoves. My father, my father's father, did not have any when he spent the winter in this city. Conditions are like this now. Thirty years ago, when I was only in my teens, at least hundreds of people would freeze to death in the city every winter."

The driver turned his back to Shade and said, then shook the horse bell to remind pedestrians in front of him to avoid.

You need to pay an extra tip when riding a carriage in the snow. When Shade got off the carriage, he gave the coachman an extra shilling. The driver smiled and wished Shade good luck today, and then was called away by others. In this weather, his business will be very good. Before the deep winter arrives, make some extra money to survive the long winter.

In order to protect the secret that "the second wise man's pyroxene has appeared", the rest of the Iluna team did not know what ordinary Shade experienced on Wednesday night. So when Shade opened the door downstairs of the security company, the receptionist's wife was not surprised by his appearance.

Seeing that Shade was here to see Iluna, he asked them to go to the reception room on the first floor to talk. After closing the door, the seventeen-year-old girl looked very happy:

"Shad, how is your health? Oh, I was really worried when I saw you really passed out at your home."

She didn't know that at No. 6 St. Teresa Square, it looked like [Jack the Thief] and Shade were fighting, but it was actually a whole team plus a cat who were fighting against the thief. But before Shade woke up, Iluna got the truth about that night from Luvia.

Of course, the girl with purple eyes did not reveal the identities of the other members of the group. Iluna only knew that Shade was hypnotized.

"I just slept for a long time and felt great when I woke up."

Shade pointed to the document bag he casually put aside. Inside was the document he had just signed:

"I have reached a deal with the Prophet Association, and I will be able to get [Creation Knowledge] before the end of this year. I heard from Miss Carina that you gave the church the proposal? Thank you so much, you have been a big help."

"You don't have to thank me, I still want to thank you for the [Mandrake Snake Nest Vial]."

Iluna felt herself blushing a little, and she tried to control her expression:

"I heard Luvia say that you used your opportunity to obtain a relic to help us get back the lost relic."

After speaking, he pursed his lips.

"You were the one who caught the thief, Iluna. You did a great job on Wednesday night."

This is not that Shade is exaggerating. If it weren't for Iluna's cooperation, things would have been very troublesome that night.

Hearing Shade's compliment, the seventeen-year-old girl finally couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart:

"It's just a small thing. Oh, Shade, you know? We don't have to write reports and reviews. Fortunately, my report only has a beginning. I still had a headache a few days ago. What should I do? But the captain is Unfortunately, his review and report were almost finished, and when he heard that our punishment was cancelled, he remained silent for a long time."

Iluna and Shade were talking about things around them. When Shade asked about the [Uncertain Wise Men] Order, she became serious:

"Yes, I have found some information. But the sacrifices required are really demanding. Many materials that were very difficult to obtain in the Fifth Age did not even exist in the Sixth Age. A few of them can still be found. It’s almost impossible for us to get the materials.”

"Fountain of Youth, Philosopher's Stone?"

Shade asked, and Iluna nodded. As the chosen one, she has greater authority and can find more information:

"In addition to these two liquids, there are many kinds of pure liquids that were once dedicated to the old god. As the god of the lake, most of the sacrifices he accepted were of similar materials."

Iluna took out her notebook and handed it to Shade. Together with the Fountain of Youth and the Philosopher's Stone, there were a total of 9 special liquids in the list. Among them, the one that Xia De is more familiar with is "Moonlight Water".

The reward for completing the key in Fifth Age 5177 includes "Ritual - Water of Moonlight", but the problem is that Shade must find a sacrifice to complete the task, and to complete the task, he must find a sacrifice.
