Whispering Verse

Chapter 621: Itching

The latest website: "The outbreak of death will hit three channels at the same time."

On this topic, the priest seemed a bit worried:

"I'm not a church ring warlock, so I can't know more about the specific situation. Judging from the current known situation, the local natural church believes that there may be problems in the three passages."

[Church of Nature and Evil Thought] is the church of the Five Gods that first preached in the local area, and all the seals of the door at the foot of the mountain are currently carried out with the Church of Nature as the main body. Even the position of the Natural Church in reality corresponds to the position of the door in the narrow room.

"Everything could go wrong..."

Xia De can't do anything about this kind of thing, but fortunately, this is not his responsibility. The only thing he has to do in this city is to collect enough information, and after Luvia divination information about the third candidate, he can use the early preparations to find the target in one fell swoop.

"The door on the top of the mountain in the narrow space was suppressed by an ancient person, and the door on the mountainside was hidden because of the concealment of the witch emperors. The church also knows this information, but obviously not as much as I do."

This is not because the church is incompetent or Priest Augustus is too powerful. Shad believes that it is purely because the 0-level relic suspected to be related to the "First Angel" on the priest is too powerful.

Before the food was served, Xia De expressed his thoughts:

"Priest, I have met some friends in Fort Midhill these days. After dinner, we will go to the Home of the Blind. They are actually the local stronghold of the [Spiritual Religion]."

"Spiritual sect? You mean those who use blindfolds... Oh, so the House of the Blind is the stronghold of that sect!"

The priest said in surprise that he knew about this organization, but obviously did not connect the two.

"You can give your current information and the information you have in the future to the [Spiritual Religious Order], and the order will definitely find a way to inform the church."

"That's all very well...but I'd better not show up."

Priest Augustus shook his head, took the pipe out of his pocket, but put it back after thinking:

"I'll leave everything I know to you, and you can hand it over to the spiritual sect. After all, I'm a priest of the Orthodox Church, so it's better not to take the initiative to contact them... But, are you sure, you know the senior members of the sect ?"

"Yes, I also met with the leader of the order in the morning. When I rescued you, the nun from the eleventh ring also provided a lot of help."

Xia De nodded, the priest looked at him in surprise:

"Didn't you just come here for a week? Detective, you really...have a lot of friends."

"Don't talk about it."

Xia De shook his head, skipped the topic, and didn't want to involve the witch because of the spiritual cult:

"The unknowable relic is really dangerous."

He sighed softly, and the priest wanted to speak, but the waiter came in again pushing the dining cart. When he was gone, the priest went on:

"In fact, even the least dangerous poet-level (level 5) relic can bring us a lot of trouble. Do you know the poet-level relic [Itching Curse]?"

"have no idea."

Xia De shook his head with a look of interest, so the priest said:

"This is a relic that exists in the form of information, similar to a curse. Specifically, the back of the cursed person will be very itchy, and once someone sees him stretching out his hand to scratch it, he will also feel itchy, thus spreading the curse continuously Get out. In the later stages, even if someone mentions that they feel a little itchy back, or even writes about it in a book, the curse will spread."

"Oh, that sounds awful."

Xia De rubbed his back on the back of the chair indiscriminately. When the priest mentioned this, he subconsciously thought about whether his back felt itchy, and then he really felt itchy.

"Such a bad curse, but it's only at the poet level?"

"Yes, because the characteristic is just itchy. And the kind of itching that can be comfortably relieved by just scratching... Detective, what are you doing?"

Xia De, who was quietly rubbing against the back of the chair, shook his head:

"It's nothing, so how do you cure this curse? You can't have to suffer from back itching for the rest of your life, right?"

"No, there is no need. Just find the first person affected by the relic, then peel off the skin on his back, and use tanning to make leather, so that piece of information will be preserved in that piece of human skin On. It is very sad that there are as many as 193 known sources of the [Itching Curse] curse, which is still known to the church."

The priest shrugged:

"Even if the source cannot be found, as long as two-thirds of the people infected with the curse apply a special ointment on a regular basis, the contagious properties of this relic will disappear, so the harm is really not great. Oh, ring warlocks generally have Different degrees of resistance to poet-level relics, so this curse is ineffective against high-ring warlocks. Oh, there is also a spell [itching curse] developed based on this relic, this mischievous spell is invalid for all ring warlocks, But people who learn this kind of spell are really boring."

Xia De, who still felt itchy in his back, vowed that he must be promoted to the high ring as soon as possible to prevent these curses that are not dangerous but extremely annoying in this dangerous world.

The two agreed to meet again tomorrow. The priest thought about what thaumaturgy could be associated with Shade's spiritual rune [True Death], and then took advantage of tonight to write down all the things he had learned so far about the narrow space and the outbreak of death. But the priests still have work to do in the church. The elderly clergymen who have been summoned have already begun basic ritual training, so they will not be able to meet with Shad frequently in Fort Midhill.

However, it is now completely certain that the purpose of summoning the Augustus priests to Midhill Castle was really for a large-scale divine ceremony.

And when the priest took out his wallet to pay for the sumptuous dinner, Xia De, who turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, remembered another thing:

"Oh, Reverend, you owe the doctor £3,000."

Priest Augustus, who was counting out tips, shook his hand and almost dropped the coin he was holding in his hand to the ground:

"ah?"

He looked at the young detective on the opposite side in surprise, as if hoping he could tell that it was a joke.

Shad reminded:

"This is the cost of opening the door. You know, although my friends can help for free, they can't let them pay for the tools, right?"

"It's... yes."

The priest said tremblingly:

"It seems that I have to save some money recently."

Priest Augustus didn't spend too much money other than studying ring warlocks. He just donated his money habitually. And the 3,000 pounds this time is not a small amount. It seems that the priest has already planned to sell potions on the local black market after returning to Tobesk.

"However, where did the doctor get so much working capital? Why did he get it himself? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't four people get it?"

The priest thought about this again, and Xia De still remembered that the others warned him that he must never tell the old man in front of him about their collective betting and gambling:

"Some time ago, doctors made a lot of money investing in it."

He said vaguely.

"What investment can make a doctor earn so much?"

The priest was very curious, and pressed the consumption under the cup. The two stood up from their chairs, and the waiter led the way to send them away.

"It's related to a little nobleman."

Xia De's eyes wandered:

"And it's related to foreigners, does the Principality of Set know?"

"I know, it's not far from here."

The priest nodded:

"It turned out to be a transnational business."

"It can be said that, and there are quite a few foreigners. Specifically, it is related to some special wooden materials and inks. It is said that this business has a great impact."

"Doctors dare to get involved in this kind of thing? As far as I know, the risk of this kind of business is not small."

Descending the stairs, the priest drew his pipe from his pocket.

"He has received inside information and believes that the possibility of making a profit on this investment is more than 60%."

"This is very good. It seems that the doctor has indeed made a lot of money. Bill is really lucky this time."

The two walked out of the restaurant while talking, and looked up at the sea of ​​stars above Mount Xikar almost at the same time.

On the outskirts of Fort Midhill, on the edge of the mountain, this sea of ​​stars is extremely dazzling, extremely bright.

(Mia is running...)

Xia De didn't return to the downtown area of ​​Fort Midhill with the priest, but went directly into the mountain and returned to the abandoned tower in the mountain. It was eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the basement of my home through the basement of the abandoned tower.

When I came to the first floor and saw the lights in the foyer, I knew that Luvia, who was fiddling with the astrological equipment, hadn't left yet. And when Xia De came to the second floor and caught the excited cat, he saw that the seventeen-year-old girl was also there:

"Good evening, Luvia, good evening, Iruna."

Xia De said hello and saw two ladies sitting on the sofa playing chess. There are card games like Rhodes in this world, and of course there are board games, but they are relatively less popular.

"Good evening, Shad. See Priest Augustus?"

Luvia asked, her eyes fixed on the chessboard. Xia De took a look, and found that he didn't understand this kind of chess at all, so he wanted to jump up with excitement, and rubbed his little head against the cat on his chin, and walked into the bedroom to change into the clothes he wore at home.

"I see, Priest Augustus seems to be in good condition, but Fort Midhill has a big problem. If it doesn't work out, it's no less than an accident like 'returning by sea'. I learned about the local situation today. Folklore and legend, those stories are interesting."

"I thought you went to Fort Midhill to play Rhodes for a day~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't those players like playing cards in other places?"

The girl with long brown hair asked, now that she is at a disadvantage on the chessboard, Luvia is very skilled at playing chess:

"However, why do you always encounter such dangerous things?"

"That's the question I've been asking all along."

Luvia said, picking up her white piece and kicking the largest soldier piece on Iluna's side off the board, who immediately covered her face:

"I lost again, Luvia, you didn't predict how I would play chess in advance, did you?"

"I don't do such boring things."

Luvia stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare tea. Priest Augustus was safe and sound, and Shad was free in Fort Midhill. Therefore, the three of them will discuss the third candidate tonight.
