While the three of them looked at this place together, Shade did not forget to tell Miss Feliana and Fiona about the information about this place that the tree father had given him:
"In the auditorium, we will see the holy symbols of all the gods we have come into contact with. By contacting these holy symbols, we can obtain different short-term blessing effects. Of course, the depth of the relationship with these gods will affect
The strength and weakness of blessings.”
Because of this, the number and types of holy symbols seen by Shad, Miss Feliana, and Fiona were different.
This makes this place more like an "exhibition hall" or "showroom" than an "auditorium." And for a foreigner with rich experience, he has certainly seen quite a lot of holy emblems.
All the evil gods I have come into contact with in this world - [Vampire Duke Loair], [Lord of the Blood Feast], [God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea], [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral], [Raging Storm], [Stone Heart Demon], [Eater]
Dragon Demon] are all listed;
All the old gods encountered in the fifth era - [Innocent Creator], [Flame Door], [Noisy Black Hunter/God of Gambling], [Grey-robed Sage], [Uncertain Wise Man], [Winter]
The holy emblems of Girl], [Thousand-Eyed Phantom Butterfly], [Curtain of Eternal Night], [God of Journey], [Lord of Gold], [Giver of Dreams], and [Lady of Mist] are also displayed one by one.
In addition, for some reason, the old god [The Forgotten Old Man] whom Siris believed in, the old god [Twin Gods] who had helped Helen and Grace, and the old god [God of Love/Heart of Hearts] who were hostile to "Desire"...
Lock]’s holy emblem actually appeared here.
Although these holy emblems have different patterns and light effects, they are roughly the same size. The only holy emblem that Shade observed that was larger than these holy emblems was the gold sun pattern holy emblem of the righteous god [Old Man with the Lamp].
The Holy Emblem of the Righteous God shines brightly, but among the five Righteous Gods, only this one's Holy Emblem appears. Shade guessed that this is because this [God of the Sun and Earth] is attending the event with him in the Randall Valley.
A banquet in the jungle.
As a result, a total of 23 holy emblems appeared.
What made Shade very regretful was that he could not see the holy emblems of any of the ancient gods. He did not know whether it was because the ancient holy emblems would not appear here, or because he had not actually come into contact with these gods.
Shade prefers the former.
"However, it is true that darkness contains the shadow of human nature, and light contains the power of gods."
Miss Feliana and Fiona both tried to touch the holy symbols that only they could see. Shade counted the number of holy symbols that he could see, and then decided to try what kind of blessings this place could bring to him.
.
His first choice was of course the god he was most familiar with, and when Shade's hand touched the holy symbol of the vampire god suspended on the octagonal white stone base, "she" said softly:
[Outlander, do you want to accept the blessing of the old god, the vampire Duke Loair? 】
[Blessing of Blood Effect: Transformation - Advanced Vampire.]
[The blessing is valid for 24 hours.]
"I just said that I can only receive one blessing at the same time. So can I change the blessing at any time, or do I have to wait until the validity period of the previous blessing ends before I can change to the next one?"
【Can be replaced at any time.】
Shade nodded. The effect of "Blessing of Blood" seemed to him to be very powerful. He had already seen from Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Albert how powerful the so-called "advanced vampires" were compared to humans.
He believed that the blessing effect was so effective because his connection with this evil god was too close.
"Don't worry about triggering the blessing effect now. This is really interesting. Try this other one, the old god encountered in the Forest of Thousand Trees - [Yaochang Gate]."
The Holy Emblem itself is the image of a "door". This god was the first to tell outsiders that "the Sixth Age is not the real Sixth Age." This mysterious old god also has the power of time and space.
"She" reminded softly:
【Outlander, do you want to accept the blessing of the old god-Yaobianmen?】
[Blessing Effect of the Door: Enhances the effect of the spell "Key of the Door". 】
[The blessing is valid for 24 hours.]
"Just strengthening the spell? It seems that the relationship between me and this old god is not very deep. That's right, it was just an encounter. But, is it also 24 hours?"
He continued to pace, and this time he chose the god he first came into contact with in this world:
"[Creator of Innocence]."
【Outlander, do you want to accept the blessings of the old god, the innocent creator? 】
[Gift Blessing Effect: Thaumatology-[Toy Making] can be used on living creatures, but if it does not meet the requirements, it still cannot bring toys with souls into the special space. 】
[The blessing is valid for 24 hours.]
"this"
Shade has been trying to find a way to break through the limitations of his thaumaturgy, so that it can be used on living creatures without having to trust him wholeheartedly. Now, with just this blessing, his thaumaturgy has undergone a qualitative change.
But the problem is that although this enhances his fancy fighting skills, it still doesn't allow him to take the girls to the past era.
"However, that god is really kind to me."
Then I continued to try, and the blessings of the 22 old gods each had different effects, and they all lasted 24 hours.
Most of the blessings have the effect of improving certain abilities or enhancing specific thaumaturgic spells. The effects of a few blessings are so strange that Shade thinks he will probably never need them.
For example, the blessing effect of [Twin Gods] is to enhance the favorability of the "twin sisters" towards Shade within 24 hours; and the blessing of [Stone Heart Demon] is that Shade can turn the heart touched by his hands into
Stone.
But the problem is that if Shade wants to kill someone, he can just touch the heart of the person with his hands and crush it directly. Turning into stone is really unnecessary.
But since these blessings can be obtained without paying any price, he only needs to enter here, so of course Shade will not complain.
And although the effects of some blessings are not very satisfactory to him now, if he can make these gods like/dislike him more in the future, then the effects of these blessings will be improved.
Shade left the blessings of the Righteous God [Old Man with the Lamp] until the end to check, and as expected, the blessings of the Righteous God were different from those of the old gods:
[Outlander, do you want to accept the blessing of the righteous god - the old man holding the lantern? 】
[The Blessing Effect of the Sun and the Earth: When holding a lantern and holding the holy symbol of the god, it will expel evil. 】
[The blessing is valid for one week.]
"So the blessing of the Righteous God will be effective for a longer time?"
It's just that he doesn't have the blessings of the other four righteous gods, so it's not clear whether this guess is correct.
After reading all the blessings, Shade did not choose to accept the blessing of this righteous god. Instead, he found the Holy Emblem of the [Innocent Creator] again and obtained the blessing. The feeling of receiving the blessing was very strange, like warm water coming from
Water down the top of your head.
Then he asked in his mind:
"As usual, what is the hidden information I obtained in [Holy White Auditorium]?"
[Sacrifice a drop of divinity to gain the opportunity to touch the ancient sacred emblem. 】
[Sacrifice an old sacred emblem that contains power and gain the opportunity to touch the ancient sacred emblem related to it. 】
Shade frowned slightly and continued to look at the Holy White Auditorium in the white mist:
"Containing power? It shouldn't mean containing divinity, otherwise it would overlap with the one above. So, it refers to powerful magical items that are worshiped by believers all year round?"
Shade has not come into contact with many similar holy symbols so far. Mr. Bernhardt did take out one in Moon Bay, but it is obvious that Shade cannot snatch that one.
However, if you pay attention in the future, you may have the opportunity to obtain the holy symbols of other old gods:
"I just don't know if those powerful ancient gods' blessings will be effective for a month or even a year?"
Shade wasn't sure how many gods Miss Feliana and Fiona had encountered, but it was obvious that in the Fifth Era, the number of old gods was much greater than today, so they spent more time checking here.
However, Shade did not ask the two ladies what they had gained in this auditorium, and they certainly would not ask Shade this question.
But after the three of them returned to the attic from the auditorium, Shade immediately proposed to try a new improvement in his thaumaturgy.
"Turning people into toys?"
Fiona asked curiously:
"Teacher Feliana is a demigod, so you probably can't influence her, so let me try!"
The big-tailed dragon girl was very enthusiastic about this and even helped Shade move the spare curtain fabrics from home.
And when Shade covered her body with the curtain, Shade frowned immediately.
"Why, don't you have enough spirit?"
Miss Feliana asked, getting Fiona out from under the huge curtain:
"Fiona is also the thirteenth level after all, and her dragon bloodline makes her extremely resistant to transformation. How about trying to catch a few wild cats? When we went outside yesterday, I saw the
There are not many stray cats.”
But in the end, the stray cats in the city did not become Shade's experimental subjects. This was not because Shade was worried that bringing stray cats into the home would anger little Mia, but because Iluna appeared in Saint Teresa that morning.
The entrance to Plaza No. 6.
"Good morning, Shade, I'm back! Good morning, Miss Feliana, Miss Drago!"
Iluna also set off from Moon Bay to return home on Saturday morning, but the balanced chosen ones did not need to take the train, but took the steam airship. In addition, the weather in the entire western part of the Old World has been surprisingly good recently.
, so she returned to the capital of the Northern Kingdom in just one day.
Iluna wanted to come over and tell Shade that she had returned. When she saw the two fifth-era witches at Shade's house, they still looked a little reserved. Of course, it was mainly because they were very reserved in front of Miss Feliana.
After all, before she went to seek revenge on the "Silver-Eyed One" last summer and performed the Chosen Ceremony, she personally admitted to Shade that she admired this lady. And now, Miss Feliana was in front of her.
