Chapter 203 The Crown of Styx
Spencer packed his figurines under the table, pointed at the table and said, "Just put it there. Anyway, I'm not afraid of ghosts or anything like that."
Annick gently placed Deidara on the table. Not only did his appearance become extremely old, but Deidara's entire body became smaller.
"I won't ask about the details. Did this unlucky guy directly encounter a demigod or was he directly dealt with by some sealed object?" Deidara said while looking for something.
"Demigod? No, he just drank a small bottle of transparent liquid and became like this. Are you not interested in his story?" Annick asked standing behind Spencer.
"I'm not interested. It doesn't matter if he is a good person or a bad person. If he dies, it will be wiped out." Spencer obviously has no interest in things other than the cause of death.
"Then Mr. Spencer, what should we do now?"
"Look at the cause of death. If you know how he died, you can narrow down the scope of the murderer."
"But I already know the murderer, the Five of Spades from the Cross of Roses Society."
"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, then I probably know what happened to this unlucky guy." Spencer put down a pair of eyes, which looked like the earliest VR glasses on earth, a huge brass box with two openings on the front.
hole, a thick lens is embedded in it.
"What are these eyes Spencer?"
"The imitation magic pupil has been modified with power manifesting powder fixed inside. This way, you don't have to sprinkle it to measure the remaining magic power in the future. Just replace the power manifesting powder inside regularly." Spencer said proudly.
"What's the difference? Wearing underwear while taking a shower?" Annick immediately thought of this metaphor and blurted out.
"You know what? This saves you the trouble of cleaning up. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to sweep up the used energy manifesting powder all over the floor. Also, not everyone has your pupil technique. It is easy to use, and even manifests
All the energy powder is saved.”
When Spencer defended his invention, he still had a strong desire to fight.
"The price is to wear this ten-pound thing around your neck, and you won't be afraid of broken bones." Annick complained in a low voice.
"Okay, now that we know it's the Five of Spades, there's nothing to think about. It's the liquid produced by the S-class sealed item in his hand, the Crown of Styx." Spencer naturally threw out a bunch of things that Annick had never heard of.
noun.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Spencer, what is a sealed object? Isn't this hymn of life in my hand the most powerful extraordinary object?"
"Ah, I didn't tell you?"
"No. You probably forgot." Annick said cautiously.
"Oh, it's too late to replenish it now. The raw material of the ring in your hand is probably the remains of an angel, but after too long, the extraordinary spirituality has dissipated a lot, so we can only build it at the demigod level, so we get
It’s an A-level sacred object.”
"So if the spirit is originally angel-level, it can create sealed objects?" Annick asked.
"Not necessarily. It depends on whether the spiritual power of the original owner of the leftover body penetrates deeply. If you contribute it voluntarily or don't have a strong obsession, you can use it to create an S-class sacred object."
Spencer explained in detail: "If the spiritual power left by an angel on the body is strong enough, it can be used to become weapons, armors or tools without even processing. Many of these items have more or less
Independent consciousness is the residual mental power causing trouble, and every time you use it, you need to pay a very high price. Correspondingly, its effect is powerful enough."
"I can understand it this way, Mr. Spencer. Sealed objects are S-class sacred objects with strong effects but high costs."
"It's just the simplest understanding and there's no problem, but the sealing conditions of each sealed object are different. Ordinary magic items or holy objects can only be contained in platinum boxes, but the sealed objects are different and need to be processed according to the characteristics of the period."
Annick understood what the so-called sealed object was, and asked about the Crown of Styx held by the Five of Spades.
"Then, Mr. Spencer, what is the Crown of Styx?"
"Here, take a look for yourself, it's too troublesome to explain."
Spencer handed over a small notebook with a black leather cover, with the word "Top Secret" handwritten in red on it.
"Is this something I can read? It says top secret."
"I wrote it in my hand to show my identity. After all, only official spiritual beings and above will distribute this stuff."
"so smart?"
Annick hurriedly opened it and took a look. The catalog inside contained the words "Complete Collection of Sealed Artifacts in the Kailang Region".
This is a book with sealed objects on the front, and the first few pages have been torn. Annick followed the catalog and found the page about Crown of Styx. When he opened it, he saw only a few sentences of description.
,
The shape is similar to an iron crown, blue-grey. The passive ability is that it can absorb the blood of a certain amount of extraordinary people to create toxins that are fatal to angels and below. The active ability increases the strength of the user's skills at the cost of poisoning the user. The deeper the poisoning, the more powerful the skill will be.
, the stronger the improvement.
Previous owners, family of Counts of Doi.
It was stolen in July 1856, and the perpetrator left a playing card containing the five of spades.
After reading it, Annick realized why this vampire understood so clearly. It turned out that everything was recorded.
"Mr. Spencer, have you done any research on the Five of Spades?"
"I haven't done much research. Our informant in the Cross Rose Society has never seen his true face, but judging from his voice, he looks like a man in his thirties or forties. He is neither tall nor short, and he is very cautious. You want to take revenge on him?
, Let’s not talk about whether he can fight or not, it will be very difficult for you to find his true identity.”
Another cunning and fox-like figure, Annick felt his head hurt.
"By the way, what should I do with this corpse? Although I'm not afraid of corpses, leaving it alone every day will delay me from doing my business."
"I'm going to report the incident first. The body will contact Eggsburg University. You guys have a telegram, right?"
"Yes, but it's very expensive. Only the old man Hei has the authority to approve it."
It seems that cable telegraphy is also a precious project here. Annick shook his head.
"Then what can the respected Lord Blood Earl do to help a poor and helpless little policeman?"
When Spencer heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Little problem, I have a pirated version that I carved out of wood secretly, and it is completely the same as the seal of the black old man."
"Is this okay?" Annick asked.
"Why not? Every time I'm short of funds, I just stamp it with a fake stamp and get some. What's the point of being afraid of something as simple as using a telegraph?" Spencer said nonchalantly.
"Hey, you can do it as long as you say." After successfully passing the blame to Spencer, Annick wrote a telegram in the tone of a demigod shadow under his guidance.
"It's perfect. Go and report the matter quickly, and then come back and do nothing but this."
