Mystery: Shadow of Order

v1 Chapter 201: balance scale

St. George's Quarter, St. Hillan's Church.

This is the headquarters of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Outside the church, wearing a soft clergy hat and a white priest's robe, some kind-hearted old people looked in a certain direction in the air. Behind him stood a man with messy brown hair, although wearing a hat, he still couldn't hide it. Stubborn outstretched hair.

The brunette man's face was rigid and clear, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes. From time to time, he looked at an ancient silver mirror in his hand. There was an eye-like decoration on each side of the mirror. They were made of black gems. The base looks dark and charming.

There was a sound of airflow in the air, and a figure came to the old man and the brown-haired man in the blink of an eye.

It's just that the black sink pipe that shrunk back and exhaled a faint air flow behind him proved that he was not a living person. This is a mechanical doll created by "Alchemist" Horamick using his own abilities and according to Emperor Roselle's vision.

By injecting his soul, Horamick gave this mechanical doll a certain life, although it was not as flexible and convenient as the dolls created by the "ancient alchemists" who were also demigods, and were more human. But Horamick's puppet is more destructive, even more powerful than himself when piloted.

The brown-haired man looked enviously at this mechanical doll that was no different from Horamick. Who wouldn't want such an item?

Horamick waited until the doll landed, without any hesitation, he went forward and took off the doll's right eye. The eye that was originally taken out like a normal human immediately radiated a star-like light, which was reflected in the dark night. All kinds of dreamy sights.

As the archbishop's right hand folded, all kinds of dreamy luster disappeared immediately, and then a figure was projected. It was the figure of a woman, wearing a common blue dress, with black hair, but only a back.

"Ikanser, ask Arrodes with sunglasses."

The messy-haired man Ikanser looked at Horamick, his throat squirmed, and before Horamick urged, he raised the silver mirror with ancient patterns in his hand, stroked the surface with his right palm three times, and paused for two. Seconds, took a deep breath and said:

"Dear Arrodes, my question is, the true identity of this figure."

As he asked the question, the surrounding darkness suddenly became dense, and streaks of water light swayed on the surface of the silver mirror.

Soon, a picture appeared in the silver mirror:

It was a ready-to-wear store with sets of the most popular women's dresses today, leg of lamb sleeves, lace folds, bows, layered lotus leaf skirts, high waists, buttons... There is no accumulation of various colors, only Just the right combination, creating an almost perfect outfit.

A woman wearing a common blue long dress faced these dresses, as if she was dazzling, and two or three maids were attentively introducing these dresses beside her.

As the woman chose a set of blue high-waisted long skirts with layers of ruffled skirts, she came to the tall floor-to-ceiling mirror, but there was only the long skirt in front of the mirror, as if being pinched by an invisible hand write.

Ikanser's eyes widened, but there was still only the long dress in the silver mirror, and the picture quickly dissipated.

Then, one by one bright red blood-like words were outlined on the mirror surface:

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions. If you lie or can't answer, you will accept the task I arranged or be punished."

No, it's not fair, you didn't tell me who that woman was!

Ikanser roared inwardly, but the magic mirror Arrodes didn't care about his thoughts. Words with blood dripping slowly changed into new words, new sentences:

"Do you enjoy being dominated by others and take pleasure in it?"

Ikanser's forehead suddenly broke out with cold sweat. The sweat flowed down the hard and clear lines, and his face became pale. He didn't look at Horamick's expression, and roared directly:

"I choose punishment."

A silver-white lightning flashed out of nowhere and struck Ikanser's head. "Zizzi", his hair stood up straight, and he lifted up some blackened hats and dropped them, followed by a little black smoke. emerge.

Ikanser opened his mouth and turned to look at Archbishop Horamick. A little white smoke spit out from his mouth. Fortunately, Horamick had turned his back at this time.

"Well...Ikanser, go to the police stations in the districts and ask them to investigate the high-end clothing stores and ask if they have seen that woman recently..." Immediately afterwards, Horamick seemed to have thought of something. Quickly moved into the interior of the church, leaving only a soft voice, "I'll go to divination again..."

Following that, Archbishop Horamick left, and a black sink pipe was also protruding from the back of the doll Horamick, spewing airflow, and flew into St. Shirland Church faster.

...

Dock area, Silver Mirror Long Street.

In the small rental house, Rawls pushed open the door and found that Alysia had returned to the room. Before he could sigh about the speed of the "Freelancer", he was stunned by Alysia's words.

"what did you just say?"

Alysia was still sitting on the crippled but balanced chair, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her dark gray pupils did not show any fluctuations:

"There is ritual magic in the Intis embassy that can detect me."

With a solemn expression, Rawls turned around and closed the door. Sitting on the bed, he looked at the expressionless Alysia and asked:

"Discovered?"

After asking this sentence, Rawls knew that he had asked an idiot question, and he must have been discovered. Otherwise, how would he know that there was a ritual magic that could detect her? But with the "freelancer", even if she is discovered, Alysia can leave safely.

It's just that there are not many people who can arrange such ritual magic, and they have to befriend the Intis embassy! Among the abilities of "Mystic Mage" is "Keeping Secrets", plus the care of "Uncertain Mist", only a master who is proficient in ritual magic can do this. To be able to do this, it must have reached the level of a demigod. Is there an ambush in the embassy?

"Is there an ambush in the embassy?"

Alysia shook her head and said lightly:

"Just made some arrangements and used the ceremony to send a demigod in."

"Ceremonial teleportation?" Rawls breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Wei Sanjia may not be able to fight, they must be able to escape. They have no ability to respond to restraint. Unless the difference in strength is too great, it is extraordinary who wants to seize a "door" pathway. is difficult.

"Do you know who he is? What are his characteristics?"

Rawls can only hit his luck to see if it is the more distinctive demigods, at least some people can be excluded. But this kind of situation that was only one step away, could it be "Singer of God" Ace Snake? I don't remember saying he was proficient in ritual magic? Could it be the two who arranged the ritual magic?

"It's the Church of the God of Craftsmen." For Alysia, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery was an unfamiliar name.

Ignoring the question of Alysia's name, Ralstow raised his chin, from the Church of Steam? Is it Archbishop Horamik Haydn?

In the subsequent war of Feysac's invasion of Loen, the Church of Steam chose to be neutral and stood opposite Loen in the later period, but it was obviously closer to Intis. There is no problem with Horamick helping to build the ritual magic in the Intis embassy, ​​even if Loen knows about it, he won't say anything.

Moreover, because the three major churches are not under the official control of Loen, Beckland doesn't have to worry about Horamick's actions in the ritual magic.

Although Alysia said she was a demigod, it was estimated that it was Horamick's mechanical doll, and it was unlikely that he would be there in person. Fighting directly against a strange demigod, even if Horamick favors Intis, it will not be so risky.

Church of Steam... Church of Steam... Hiss, Mirror Arrodes!

Rawls stood up abruptly, and Horamick would definitely call the mirror Arrodes to ask for information about Alysia. He knew very well about this special Sealed Artifact that was born from Chaos Sea and accompanies Klein to sleep in the end.

Although it will ask some deadly questions, as a mysterious version of the magic mirror, it is indeed omniscient to a certain extent. And this omniscience is not knowing everything, but seeing and hearing many things

Russell Gustav once said that when you walk, you leave a trace. As long as these traces are not hidden by special powerful means, they will be known by Arrodes, and because of this, it can ask many questions about the death of the society.

If the ordinary demigod Alysia, who closely relies on the "Freedom Walker", is likely to be known by Arrodes, although it is only recognized as a "Level 2" Sealed Artifact by the Church of Steam, it can even be reluctantly based on its performance. It is regarded as a "0" level sealed item.

After all, it was born from the Chaos Sea!

Rawls doesn't know whether the identity of the favored person of "Uncertain Mist" can escape the peeping of Arrodes, but Alysia should be able to understand it to a certain extent.

"The Church of Steam has a Level 2 Sealed Artifact, which can detect many secrets, and the Free Walker may not be able to block it."

Alysia's slender eyebrows wrinkled. She knew what Rawls meant. She wanted to ask her how much her favored status of "Uncertain Mist" could be used to block exploration.

"What is the '2' level sealed artifact?"

Rawls opened his mouth. This is the internal statement of the seven churches. As a failed and hunted angel family, Tamara does not know that it is normal.

After Rawls explained in detail, Alysia's eyebrows stretched out:

"You said that the '2' level sealed artifact roughly corresponds to the sealed artifact formed by the Extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 to Sequence 5. The 'Free Walker' is formed by the 'Mystic Mage' characteristic, why can't it be blocked?"

"That Sealed Artifact is quite special. To a certain extent, it is no different from a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact." Rawls can't say that this is the second hand of two old "coins" that surpass the level of gods. Emphasize that Arrodes' abilities are more than superficial.

"The Tamara family has one, according to what you said, it should be a '0' level sealed artifact. It is left by one of the ancestors of the family who reached the 'balancer'. It is called the 'balance scale' and has the characteristics of being alive. In appearance, it is very similar to the current balance, with two trays, an indexing plate, and a brass-colored metal face on it, but there is no ruler and vernier code.”

Alysia described this and that "balance of balance" as if she were describing an ordinary magical item.

"It will take the initiative to put something around it that it thinks is valuable on one of the trays. If it does not put the same value on the other tray within a certain period of time, it will pick a certain number and equivalent. People are placed on another tray, and the people or objects on the two trays are fused to become monsters.

Of course, you can also actively use this item. After rubbing the brass-colored metal face with spirituality, it will speak. You can tell it what you want to accomplish or want, just pay for an item of the same value and it will help you fulfill your wish. "

Rawls listened carefully to Alysia's description. If this is the case, this item is definitely the dream of many Beyonders. Especially those Beyonders who don't have potion formulas or main ingredients for potions~lightnovelpub.net~ They can completely pay for formulas or Beyonder characteristics from other channels to exchange for what they need.

But if you think about it carefully, you will realize that this is impossible.

The origin of the "Scale of Balance" is very clear. Although a Sealed Artifact formed by the Extraordinary characteristics of a "Balancer" has an angelic personality, it is not a wall-hanging sequence like a "Dreamer" after all, and it is impossible to conjure up other things out of thin air. The extraordinary properties of the pathway.

"Of course, not every requirement can be fulfilled. The things that the 'Balance Scale' can exchange are all it owns, some it collects itself, and others are left by those who failed to exchange it.

Once you propose a condition or item that it cannot meet, it will put you in the tray. If you cannot take out an item equivalent to yourself, you will become its collection. "

"Equivalent to oneself, including items owned by oneself?"

If not, it is more terrifying. Once a single person puts forward conditions on it, then wait to die!

Alysia glanced at Rawls, her tone unchanged:

"Of course, even if you want to drill a loophole and give the items on your body to others first, it will be discovered by it, and the result will be even worse."

So why did you talk about this Sealed Artifact? You can't always trust me, can you? That book is too big! This information can be at a strategic level.

Rawls looked at Alysia and waited for her to continue.

"Although it can be sealed, that kind of seal is very easy to break, as long as someone approaches it, it will break away from the seal and actively promise you to help you fulfill your wish.

And as the favored one of the 'fog of uncertainty', it can shield its induction. "
