It is a very popular view that there must be corresponding reasons for the gods to appear. The gods that Shade met in the past did have their own reasons for appearing. For example, the God of Gamblers responded to Mr. Riddle's invitation to gamble.
, the vampire god is going to hold a banquet, and the journey god is looking forward to interesting travel stories.
But with this in mind, it is worth thinking carefully about why the old god "Golden Lord" appeared in the "Black Mist Camp".
The things that those high-dimensional beings value are very different from what mortals think. For example, [Vampire Duke Loyle], who has had several contacts with Shade, planned two eras just for a cup of blood brew.
Wanting nothing else is completely incomprehensible to mortals.
"Then the second question is, does your religious legend involve a camp covered with black mist?"
The two men looked at each other doubtfully, then shook their heads together:
"Sorry, there shouldn't be any."
"Well, these are my questions."
Shade nodded and stood up. His goal had been achieved, but the older man stopped him:
"Sir, please wait a moment. Are you interested in the magic we have inherited?"
"What do you mean? You want to sell me something?"
He asked in surprise, and the younger man nodded:
"We are not willing to trade with anyone, but we see that you are a valuable trading partner."
He pointed at his eyes, and Shade found that his brown eyeballs had a faint light, which was probably a detective thaumaturgy similar to [Visual Demon] and [Echo of Blood].
"If you are willing, why not first listen to what we plan to sell you."
Shade calculated his property. Since 1854, his largest income was the gold mine shares in the Randall Valley. Because the location and depth of the gold mine had been confirmed, he had already made his first investment in just two months.
This amount of output has not yet been converted into cash and distributed to Xia De.
In addition, when he and Iluna ran into the flower girl's relics in the sewers of the Randall Valley, they accidentally discovered a century-old treasure. Part of the money was donated, and part of it was provided by Shade and Iluna.
Evenly divided. In addition, since this year, Shade has not had much expenses, so even though he spent 5,000 pounds in one go to invest in Miss Sylvia's business last year, he still has 7,000 pounds in cash now.
about.
"Okay, what do you want to sell me?"
So he sat down again, and the older man took out a small, palm-sized notebook from his pocket:
"After the two of us have observed, you are more suitable for the following three magical arts. Please believe in our judgment. Although we have been cursed and it has been difficult to make a fortune, we are still very accurate in judging whether others have a chance to make a fortune."
He coughed:
"Thumbacary - [Eating Gold]. Its function is to enhance one's physical strength and mental strength by swallowing gold.
After mastering this magic technique, it has different characteristics according to the level of proficiency. For example, in the early stage, you can judge the purity of gold through the nose, smell and touch of the tongue; in the middle stage, you can treat injuries by swallowing gold, and even the stumps can be restored; if
After mastering thaumaturgy for long enough and devouring enough, in the final stage, you can even have an extremely tough and smooth metal film appear on the surface of your body to protect yourself, and you can use gold to replace most of the casting materials. Once you cast a spell,
Adding gold as a medium can greatly enhance the effect of spell casting."
Shade nodded:
"The only drawback is that it requires pure gold."
"In addition, it can also lead to 'gold addiction', but it can be replaced by swallowing other metals. Oh, it can also cause metalization of internal organs, but it will not affect normal physiological functions.
The younger man said, looking at Shade expectantly:
"Are you interested?"
"Well what's the second one?"
"Thumbology - [Golden Cat]. This thaumaturgy requires our specially made golden cat statue, which we can sell to you at a cheap price.
Bring the statue back to your long-term residence, arrange the ritual as required, and have regular contact with it every day. After a complete ritual stage - about three weeks later, you can learn the passive thaumaturgy [Golden Cat], which is permanent
Improve luck in the place where you live, especially luck in the direction of wealth. To give a simple example, if you play Rhodes with others at home, you will most likely not lose."
"Yeah next one."
This thaumaturgy sounds very good, but Shade suspects that the two men in front of him want to make a fortune by selling "golden cat statues". What's more, he doesn't think that the cautious little Mia will allow him to sell a "golden cat statue".
I have a golden cat statue in my house and I touch it every day.
"You are really picky, but it doesn't matter, we like guests like you. You will definitely be satisfied with the last one, [Treasure Object], which uses some inanimate ordinary item as the selected object, based on the caster's greed for the item
And cherish it, so that the item will gain extraordinary power based on its own function and shape. For example, if you choose a ring, it is possible. Please don't leave, if you are not satisfied, we have other magic here."
Shade finally understood that the sales ability of the current believer of the God of Wealth was far behind that of the Black Mist Camp in the fifth era. If you want to get him to spend money, these temptations will not work.
Miss Danister was not surprised at all that Shade ended the conversation so quickly. Before the people from the Seer Association left, she asked the diviners to take the two "businessmen" away, and asked with a smile
Xiang Shade:
"Are they trying to sell you thaumaturgy too?"
"Yes, the two of them said similar things to you just now?"
"Persuade me to enrich the contents of the college library. As time goes by, everything is changing. The Golden Order, which was so prosperous in the Fifth Era, has finally declined."
Believers of the old god [Twin Gods] and believers of the old god [Yahua Gate] now live in the Peace Church in Green Lake City, which is the safest cathedral in the entire Green Lake area. Although Green Lake City has been affected by economic development
It is backward, and the size of the church is not comparable to that of the city on the south bank, but this city is quite old. In a mystical sense, ancient sometimes means powerful.
Shade accompanies Miss Danister, helping her carry her bag and holding materials. The professors at the college were not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Shade, the ring warlock, but Shade was curious about what she did.
Explain your own identity.
The group set out at around nine o'clock in the morning and arrived at their destination in only fifteen minutes by carriage. Professors from the Zarath School of Literature and the Xerxes Higher Medical School also arrived at the church at about this time.
The three parties gathered together to exchange a few words, and Shade also learned that the team led by Serkses Higher Medical College was the dean of the Thirteenth Ring who had appeared once in the Randall Valley, and was known as "Steel"
Professor Miller Stewart of "The Punisher"; the team led by Zarath School of Literature this time is Professor Gost, the thirteen-ring warlock "Evocation Warlock" who appeared during the Battle of Pantanal, as well as the students of the college
Office Director, Thirteenth Ring "Rune Master" Professor Caleb Scindia.
By the way, Shade's healing ability [Cyndia's Silver Moon Gift] is said to have been created by this professor's ancestor.
The influence of "" and the chosen ones is getting bigger and bigger, and the team of professors sent by the three major colleges for each incident is also getting larger and larger. Zarath College of Literature currently has a total of three thirteen rings, and now it has sent two at once, which can be regarded as
A very courageous decision. But it is also a helpless move. Since the Tobesk incident last summer, the enemies that have appeared in the struggle for the identity of the chosen ones and the near-natural disasters have gradually expanded in scope and intensity.
.
If it were not an emergency, the Zhengshen Church would not easily allow the Thirteenth Ring Road from the three major colleges to enter this area.
However, at least these have nothing to do with Shade now. He could tell that Miss Daniste intended to let him know some professors from the other two colleges. When greeting each other, she also intended to introduce the high-level warlocks to him.
Although the professors of Zarath and Serkses did not know Shad, they all gave Miss Denister respect.
In the territory of the church, the interests of the three major colleges can be regarded as a whole. After exchanging polite words and exchanging current information, the church also arranged a meeting with the believers of the Old God.
Because there are only a few Old God believers in total, they cannot talk to the three major colleges at once, so they communicate separately in order. In the first round, St. Byrons was assigned to the two believers of the [Twin Gods], Zarath Academy of Literature
Waiting, Sirkessis Medical College went to meet the believers of the old god-[Yahaodianmen].
Shade was actually very interested in the believers of the [Twin Gods]. After all, even Grace and Helen couldn't tell whether they still existed. But after meeting, they discovered that they were actually two ordinary people, and they were two
Twin old women who looked older than Priest Augustus.
They were so old that the church sent someone to take care of them. Because they were married and had children and grandchildren, their surnames were also different.
After everyone sat down on the soft sofa, Miss Danister leaned forward slightly and chatted with them on behalf of St. Byrons. Shade also learned from this that they were very much like the old gods-[
Earth-Shaking Worm] The last high priest of the Order, Mrs. Ilar, but the old lady who lives near Coldwater Port is at least a ring warlock herself, and she has found Miss Aurora and is willing to help her keep the history of the Order.
Inherited information.
The last two believers of the [Twin Gods] Order were ordinary people from the beginning. Although some of the information of the Order was preserved by them, most of the valuable information has been lost. It is no wonder that even Grace and Helen think that the Order
