Both the lie itself and the way he behaves when lying are almost equivalent to writing "I have a problem" on his face.
But sometimes, whether a lie will be believed or not does not depend on how skilled the liar is, but on whether the person being deceived is willing to believe the lie.
After two seconds of silence, Colin Iliad looked at Derrick. It was hard to tell what he was thinking now, but he just asked:
“A gift from the Creator to the angel of judgment?”
"Yes, that's it." Derrick quickly took out the Darkless Cross that he had hidden in his arms and said, "It's called the Darkless Cross. The way to use it is to let the thorns on it be contaminated with the blood of the holder."
After saying that, I wanted to hand it to the chief.
Colin Iliad's eyes fell on the copper-green cross that Darry took out, but he did not reach out to take it. He just looked at it, and after about a full minute he said: "Can you demonstrate it?"
Is it effective?”
"Ah?" Little Sun Derrick was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he still nodded and said: "Of course."
After saying this, Derrick pressed his thumb directly on a thorn without hesitation, and bright red blood immediately overflowed from the wound, dyeing the thorn red.
The next second, the mottled patina peeled off from the cross, and the Darkless Cross turned into an entity composed of pure light. At this moment, the warm and dazzling light lit up from the cross, illuminating the entire room without any darkness.
.
At the same time, an indescribable divine meaning emerged from the cross and filled the entire room.
"The breath of the Lord..."
Under the light, the emotions in Colin Iliad's light blue eyes were hard to see clearly. He just whispered like this.
Even though there has been no response from the Creator for more than two thousand years, Silver City still retains many things used to worship the Creator. Those things are stained with the breath of the Creator. Through the comparison of these items, Colin...
The Iliad can certainly confirm that the cross in Derrick's hand does have the breath of the Lord.
It is normal for the gift given by the Creator to the angel of judgment to have the breath of the Lord.
Derrick stopped demonstrating the Darkless Cross. He looked at the cross in his hand and then at the chief. Suddenly he didn't know what else he should say.
The room suddenly fell silent. About ten seconds later, Colin Iliad broke the silence and asked in a deep voice:
"What do you plan to do with this extraordinary object?"
"Ah?" Derrick, who didn't expect that he would be asked this question, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "I plan to use it when I explore the fallen... temple next."
Colin Iliad's brows twitched slightly, apparently aware of Derrick's gaffe and judging from Derrick's words, but in the end he just said: "Does this extraordinary item have any negative effects?
"
"Its negative effect is that because it has a strong and pure purification ability, it will exclude contact with other magical items and extraordinary properties. When you hold it, you cannot hold other extraordinary items." Derrick immediately started to introduce it.
"Similarly, it also excludes the extraordinary characteristics of the holder. If you wear or hold this bronze-green cross for more than one hour, the extraordinary person's sequence will be reduced by at least one level. If it exceeds three hours, the non-demigod will inevitably regress to an ordinary person.
, more than six hours, Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 saints will also lose their extraordinary abilities, and they will have almost no effect on angels."
Undoubtedly, this is a very detailed introduction, which fully illustrates Derrick's understanding of the Darkless Cross.
After hearing this, Colin Iliad nodded and said nothing, but suddenly asked: "How is your digestion of the Sequence 8 potion going?"
"Half of it has been digested." Although he didn't quite understand why the chief suddenly cared about this, Derrick still answered honestly.
"Do you have the formula for the potion next?" Colin Iliad continued to ask.
"The formula for the potion of the Sequence 7 Sun Priest is already available." Derrick nodded and did not choose to hide it.
"Are you planning to hand over the formula in exchange for the items you want?" Colin Iliad didn't show any surprise, he just asked.
——Silver City officials currently do not have the Sun Priest’s potion formula.
Derrick had obviously never thought about this before, but now that the chief mentioned it, he thought about it and nodded and said, "I have this plan."
Colin Iliad nodded slightly, without asking any more questions, and said: "The time to explore the temple is set in five days. You go back and prepare well."
"Okay, Your Excellency." Derrick bowed and left.
After he left, Colin Iliad walked to the window and stared at the Silver City shrouded in darkness and lightning.
After watching him like this for a while, he suddenly said: "Monitor him. If there is anything abnormal... you don't need to do anything, just report it to me."
…
The next day, morning.
Early in the morning, Lin Ruo, who had packed up and had breakfast, sat on the sofa and took a deep breath.
"You look like you want to do something big?"
On the sofa opposite Lin Ruo, Klein, who was drinking milk, asked with a puzzled expression.
"Well, I plan to meet Adam." Lin Ruo nodded and said without any concealment.
"Ahem..." Klein, who was drinking milk, suddenly choked. He wiped his mouth and looked at Lin Ruo in disbelief, "Meet...Adam?"
"Well, I suspect that Amon is doing something big with a smile, so I plan to ask Adam if he knows any relevant clues." Lin Ruo poured herself a cup of tea and said.
"...Then where do you plan to find Him?" Thinking about Amon's diary that had been discontinued for some time, Klein had to admit that Lin Ruo's words made sense, and asked curiously.
"I don't know." Lin Ruo shook his head and said with a smile: "So I'm calling Him. Everything I say will be known. If I call Adam a few more words, I will know that I want to see Him."
Klein:……
Ah this!
Is this how it is used to say that everything must be known?
Klein's expression was subtle, but when he thought about Lin Ruo's friendship as an angel of judgment and Adam, the son of the Creator, and how casually Lin Ruo called the Red Angel, he suddenly felt normal again.
Rather, this is Lin Ruo's style.
Probably only Lin Ruo can do this. If anyone else did this, he would at least be beaten by Adam!
Of course, Lin Ruo could see what Klein was thinking, and he didn't care about it. He just silently started to "dial" Adam's phone number.
"Adam Adam Adam Adam Adam..."
After just muttering in a low voice for a while, a bell suddenly sounded "ding dong——" at the door.
Lin Ruo's eyes lit up, she walked over and opened the door, and was stunned for a moment.
Because there were two "people" outside the door, one was the blond priest Adam whom he had met before in Tingen, and the other was...
"Medici, why are you here?" Lin Ruo looked at Medici, who was holding a box in his hand outside the door and looked impatient, and suddenly felt confused.
Is there a buy one get one free offer on this call?
"Tsk, why are you so surprised? He can come but I can't?" Medici said angrily, and then threw the box in his hand to Lin Ruo in Lin Ruo's confused eyes and said: "Birthday gift, corresponding
You should be able to use the magical items in Judge Path Sequence 4."
"Huh? Birthday? Oh, yes, today is November 6th..." Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, then realized it. He looked at the gift in his hand, then at Medici, his eyes softened, and he said
: "Thanks, brother!"
"Tsk!" Medici tutted, his wanton and flamboyant smile rising.
Lin Ruo looked at Adam again and saw that the other man showed a kind smile and said:
"Happy birthday, Lin Ruo!"
But there was still no emotion in those golden eyes.
