Following the attendant to find the maid Tifa, while walking through the long and quiet corridor, Xia De first considered how much Mia was worth for the price of the carpet under his feet, and then found that after meeting the king, he was not like the protagonist in the stories he had read in the past. As in, the idea of ​​"I can replace him" arises.

Not only because, compared with mysticism and those extraordinary powers, secular rights are really nothing. It is also because the study of ring warlocks is too time-consuming, and the king just now was still working at eight o'clock in the evening, and eight o'clock was not even the end.

The opponent's miserable hairline can well explain the hard work of the king's profession.

After finally coming to a different world, foreigners want to see more of this magnificent and mysterious world, instead of spending their whole life at a desk.

After meeting the maid Tifa, the two left the yordle palace. But he did not return to Saint Teresa Square immediately, but took the carriage to pick up the relic promised by the Duchess.

By the way, the maid will also give the promised "White Stone Crystal" to Xia De.

On the carriage, Xia De took back those items that belonged to him. And he also mentioned the conversation with Larousse III, especially the last sentence. Miss Tifa Servitt smiled when she heard the question, and told Shad not to care about it:

"Those who hold power will always think that they are all pretenders. Obviously, our king has not been able to escape this sentence."

The promised relic was placed in Miss Galina's mansion on the outskirts of the city. Although Xia De got the address last time, it was the first time he came here.

This place is really weird.

He looked out from the window of the carriage the whole time, and found that the closer he was to the house, the thicker the surrounding fog, and this fog was not like the fog caused by exhaust emissions in the city.

When the carriage stopped in front of the tall gate of the suburban mansion, the surrounding fog suddenly disappeared. Looking around, except for the dirt road that the carriage came to, it was surrounded by woods and wasteland, and farther away was completely gray.

"This place is a bit like the house of the witches in the story."

Of course, he was just thinking about it, and he didn't dare to express his thoughts in front of the maid.

Because the owner of the house, Miss Galina, was not there, Xia De did not go in, but waited in the carriage. The maid Tifa soon came back along the gravel road in the central axis of the mansion's courtyard. After boarding the carriage, the carriage turned around and returned immediately.

Xia De looked at the house under the night from the car window, only to realize that none of the lights inside were turned on. This weird situation increased his doubts about this place, but because he didn't actually enter the house, the voice in his heart couldn't perceive the elements.

"Detective, here is what you want."

While Xia De was thinking wildly, the maid had already carefully opened the cloth bag in her hand. And wrapped in the blood-stained yellow linen is a hideous stone mask, but only the mouth is opened, and the eyes and nose are blocked.

Xia De retracted his thoughts at once, and after a blink of an eye, [Echo of Blood] was activated, and the stone mask was covered with blood.

"This is the keeper-level relic that Miss found for you, detective, do you want to guess its function?"

she asked, and handed the mask to Shad. Since it is made entirely of stone, this thing is quite heavy. The surface of the stone is rough, and it is even sticky to the touch:

"Turn humans into vampires after wearing it?"

Xia De thought for a while and said jokingly.

"No, this is the Keeper-level relic [another face], put two drops of your own blood on the two eyes of the mask, then the user can manipulate this face to make it fly, you Share vision, smell and senses with it. The mask itself is extremely aggressive, with the ability to devour and digest, and any living creature swallowed by the mask will bring a short-term increase in strength and stamina to the bearer."

"What about the side effects?"

If you only listen to these functions, [Another Face] can be regarded as a perfect long-range attack weapon.

"Once you start using this mask, unless the user dies, the association with it cannot be dispelled. The user must manipulate this mask to eat a living person every week, otherwise it will get out of control and forcibly attach to the back of the user's head, Devours the soul of the user, manipulating soulless corpses. Do not wear it on the head of any creature, and when left unattended, be sure to wrap it in this sackcloth, which has hundreds of devout blood of church clergy, that is the condition of containment."

Probably because the wheels crushed the stones, the carriage shook a bit:

"Detective, are you satisfied with this relic?"

She asked Xia De, and also knew that the negative characteristics of this relic were almost unacceptable to normal people.

In a relatively small space, Shad could easily feel the scent of the maid's perfume. The smell was made more apparent by the subconscious motion of thrusting her head forward when she asked.

Although the side effects of the relic were huge, Shad fully accepted it. He doesn't need a weapon, but a disposable item.

As long as you use this mask when you have a chance to absorb the divinity, even if you fail, the mask will be shattered by trying to devour the gods beyond self-control, and you won't let him have it all the time.

"Very satisfied."

Hearing this answer, the maid showed a strange expression, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"Also, this is the white stone crystal you want."

She handed Shad another tan wooden box. After opening it, I saw that it was filled with straw, and in the center of the straw lay a round crystal the size of a goose egg.

It is white and translucent, and the inside is not uniform, but has flocs. This is not a standard ellipsoid, its surface is a pentagonal facet.

Xia De just glanced at it and then closed the box. Although he couldn't find any information about "White Stone Crystal", he also understood that the other party didn't need to deceive him:

"Then Miss Servet, what do you need me to do in exchange for this crystal?"

He hasn't forgotten that there is a price to pay.

The maid in the same carriage as Xia De smiled~lightnovelpub.net~ because her lips were painted with very light lipstick, this action made her lip lines more clear:

"It's not difficult, and it doesn't even have anything to do with dangerous relics. This is my private matter. That's right, I've been researching some unique potions recently."

She put her right hand into the pocket of the maid's skirt, and between her fingers, she took out three thumb-thick wooden vials with the same style but with different numbers engraved on the surface, and the length was similar to that of an ordinary pen.

Shaking the palm, the small bottle between the fingers immediately made the sound of liquid shaking:

"I probably succeeded, but I wish I could find someone to help me..."

"No, I will not drink any potion of unknown origin."

Xia De shook his head and said, the white stone crystal is not only obtained from here, he is not willing to take the risk to try any potion. Although the maid and Miss Galina are temporarily trusted by him conditionally, it doesn't mean that he will agree to anything without thinking.

And more importantly, he didn't understand Tifa Servet's potion level at all.
