The black suitcase was placed on the coffee table by Priest August. After opening it, what was placed in the recess of the cushion lining was actually a crown of thorns made of white and silver metal.
It is said to be a crown, but in fact it is just a circle of metal thorns wrapped around a ring. Its workmanship is quite exquisite, but the white silver metal is densely covered with reddish-brown rust stains, but they look like blood stains. This makes this "thorns"
The "ring" doesn't look like it was just made this week, but it looks like it was just dug out last week.
But Shade did not underestimate this item. The rich miraculous elements showed the essence of the alchemical item, which was actually a powerful magical item. Currently, the only magical item he has come into contact with that is more powerful than this item is Rand
The Holy Emblem of the Sun left by Sister St. Perry when she was in the Er River Valley - this Holy Emblem is now owned by Yin Luna.
"I call this item [Angel's Crown of Thorns], and its use is very simple."
The old priest said as he picked up the ring and placed it on his head. The ring did not fall, but floated above his head, and the silver metal emitted a holy white light.
Behind Priest August, the shadow of huge burnt wings flashed past, surprising both Shade and little Mia who was squatting on the window sill.
"The function is also very simple - sanctification. In other words, it allows oneself to temporarily have the virtual identity of an 'angel'. Oh, don't look at me in such shock. This is not a mortal creating an angel. It is fake and unreal.
,Virtual."
The priest emphasized, then pointed to the ring and asked Shade to look at the details carefully:
"Look, I only used it for less than two seconds, and cracks have already appeared. The effective time of this thing is related to the intensity of your use. If it is used directly against the Thirteen Rings at high intensity, it will be scrapped in less than five seconds.
"
He put the ring back into the box, and the curious Mia immediately jumped down from the window sill and ran up to the coffee table to check.
Seeing that the cat had no intention of touching the thorns, Shade did not stop it:
"Priest, specifically, what skills does this give me? To be honest, I don't actually know much about angels."
He smiled sheepishly, and the priest said patiently:
"The Angel of Death is called the 'First Angel' and the 'Original Angel', so I can make this thing. The specific power you can possess is related to your core spiritual runes. As for the strength, it is impossible to reach the thirteenth ring. This
I can be sure of one thing. The improvement brought by this thing will at most make you one or two levels higher than your level. But the important thing is not the power, but the 'identity'. The short-term angelization means that you are temporarily beyond the limitations of mortals and can do
Do something that ordinary people can’t do.”
"for example?"
Shade asked curiously, Divine Burning is essentially a kind of transcendence from mortals, but it is more thorough and powerful.
"For example, you can make better use of your own spirit and elements, cast spells with almost no consumption, complete immortality, strong spiritual resistance, and affect the world and nature at no cost. Generally speaking, if you rely on this power to escape, no one can stop you.
I can’t help you.”
The priest said, but the specific situation still needs Shade to explore.
"Then I'll accept it. You are really amazing. You can make such a thing."
Shade praised it, but did not immediately put it on and try it.
Priest Augustus shook his head humbly:
"I can only do this in a short time, unless you can find more remains that I need. In addition, in that box of potions, there is the 'weak angel potion' I gave you to deal with human pus, and there are also some that you want.
The 'golden potion' used to deal with the mirror demon in Randall Valley. Remember to keep it with you to prevent accidents."
When he first made these potions, Priest August said he couldn't make more in a short time. But as Shade sent key items again and again, his potion and alchemy skills were indeed improving.
"You've been really helpful. Although the enemy this time isn't a demon... at least not yet, it's useful. Oh, and I'd like to order something else from you."
As he said that, he picked up paper and pen again and wrote his shopping list. Priest August told Shade about the new things he could make. Because of the sage-level shield badge, he would only accept it in the future.
Shade's material cost. Even if Shade insists on paying more for craftsmanship, the priest is determined not to.
While Shade and the priest were discussing the product list, the orange cat was still sniffing the ring of thorns with its nose raised. It was quite interested in it and even wanted to touch it, but turned around to see that Shade had not paid attention to it, and then
Knowing that Shad would not allow this, the sensible cat jumped to lie down next to Shad. This was the happiest moment.
The priest had nothing else to do on this leisurely Tuesday morning. After collecting Shade's cargo list, he asked Shade what he was going to do later.
Shade didn’t hide it either:
"I'm going to take a trip to real death."
"oh?"
Priest Augustus was slightly surprised:
"What are you doing there? And how are you going to get there?"
"There is a door on the third floor. If I sacrifice a [Heart of the Living Dead], it will open a temporary two-way door. I want to find a deceased soul and let her answer some of my questions."
The origin of [Heart of the Living Dead] is Stone Oxenfurt. When the souls of the Watson family dragged him into death, they took out his heart and threw it on the snow. And that heart is now located in Shad
In the basement:
"This matter is indeed not of great significance, but..."
He pursed his lips and pressed his left chest:
"Priest, do you remember my group assignment last Thursday?"
"How could you not remember?"
"After looking at that remains, I have always had a very subtle psychological problem. After coming into contact with a relic yesterday, I understood more aspects of my personality. But there are still some things I can't figure out clearly, so I want to
Ask someone who has had a similar experience."
Priest August nodded with understanding:
"I understand when you say that. Then I'll go with you. There's nothing going on anyway."
The door opened in the [Soul Cemetery] by sacrificing the "Heart of the Living Dead" did not say that only Shade could enter alone, so not only could Priest August accompany him, but he could even lead the two of them to the third floor.
At that time, Mia followed behind Sha De's feet.
Of course, although companions are allowed, only Shade can call the souls he wants to see in the death behind the door while using this door - only the souls of the Sixth Age.
Priest August did not comment on the sudden appearance of the iron gate on the third floor of Shade's house. After entering the [Soul Cemetery] with him, he looked at the heart he held up in his hand, and then looked at the heart surrounded by white mist.
In the cemetery, a stone door similar to the [Death Door] under Midhill Castle appeared.
Shade struggled to push the stone door open, and the cold moonlight spilled out from the cracks in the door. When the left and right doors opened enough gaps, Shade did not bother to push them open completely, but hugged Mia tightly.
, and walked in sideways with the priest.
The shoes could not make any sound when they stepped on the shallows. When they looked up, they saw boundless darkness. Entering here through a special way, the cold feeling of death did not invade their souls. However, they looked at the dark waters in the distance, and countless pure white souls flickered.
Looking at the half-dark moon towards the end, looking at this lonely scene, I still felt a little sigh in my heart.
The priest stood in front of the door waiting for Shade, while Shade walked a few steps towards the shore of the shallows where the water was slightly rippling, and then called softly:
"Ms. Hella Oxenfurt."
Time and space were frozen, leading to the end, where even sound could not travel very far. He was not sure whether he needed to speak, nor was he sure whether the lady was willing to respond to him, so after calling, he waited quietly, and
I wondered in my mind, if I called Detective Sparrow out again at this time, what would the detective's expression be like.
Mia lay in Shade's arms and looked around curiously, and soon widened her beautiful amber eyes and looked at the dark moon in the distance. The silver moonlight shone on one person and one cat. The cat
His eyes were actually dyed silvery white.
Unfortunately, at this time, Shade's attention was already focused on the countless wandering souls and the soul of the woman walking with her back. Wearing a traditional black dress and a thin black veil on her face, Hela...
Oxenfurt came from the direction of Pluto.
She came to the shore from the water, and like Shade, stood on the shoal made of white gravel, which represented the real "border between life and death." If Shade wanted to, he could even bring this lost soul back to the material world.
It is also the effect of sacrifice, but obviously he will not do this.
"Good day, Mr. Hamilton."
The veiled woman bowed slightly to Shade. Shade didn't quite remember whether she said her name, but it wasn't very important:
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-changing App, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible]
"I'm sorry to disturb you by coming to a place like this. There are some things I want to talk about this time. It won't take too long."
He said embarrassedly, his black eyes looking at Shade from behind the veil, the woman shook her head slightly:
"It doesn't matter, I'm glad to be able to help you."
"It's like this. I've encountered some things recently. My emotions, um, my heart, um... it's not that my heart has turned to stone. Specifically, when I met you, you were so cold and emotionless.
I discovered that I am also a somewhat indifferent person."
He spoke hesitantly because he was not sure what he wanted to know. He just wanted to talk about his own affairs with a soul that could empathize with him:
"I have recovered from complete indifference, but that experience made me a little worried. When I understand my own character and myself better, will I really love everything around me and really love them? Yes.
Yes, I love them, I'm sure of that, but do I...I'm sorry, I don't know how to express it."
