Chapter 2898 Strengthened Holy Sword (please subscribe for more updates)
"Detective Hamilton, we are in need of kind and pious people like you in this era."
Bishop Owen smiled and patted Shade on the shoulder, and the people passing by also smiled and greeted Shade. Then the old bishop motioned to Shade to follow him:
"The church plans to take advantage of this winter to build another public welfare home in the city to take in homeless children. How about naming this welfare home after you? Would you rather use 'Hamilton' or 'Leger'
De'?"
"There's no need for this. No, Bishop Owen, I'm not being polite. Please don't name it after me."
By the time Shade finally said goodbye to the enthusiastic Bishop Owen and met Priest August, it was almost lunch time that day.
Priest Augustus didn't seem to have any leisure time. Even though the number of believers coming to worship at noon decreased, he was still leading the children in the choir to rehearse the hymns to be sung in the afternoon.
Shade waited aside for a while, and then walked towards the priest when the children went to have lunch. Priest August then gestured to Shade, and twenty minutes later, the two of them came to the church not far from the church.
Meet in the basement potions workshop.
At this time, Priest Augustus changed out of the robe he usually wore, and rarely changed into ordinary clothes. The pants were black, the brown coat had elegant silver buttons, and he even held a cane in his hand.
, this dress looks like an old-school gentleman:
"This afternoon, I am going to attend the funeral of an old friend. He does not believe in [Mr. Dawn], so it is not very appropriate for me to wear that robe."
"Are they good friends?"
Shade asked curiously. Although this involved the privacy of the priest, they had a very good relationship, and Priest August was willing to share his life with him:
"It can't be said to be very good, but at least we give each other gifts every year at the end of the year. You know, at my age, the friends I met when I was young are either dead or waiting for the call of death."
He put the pipe that he had wiped clean with his handkerchief back into his pocket. Smoking is absolutely not allowed in the potions workshop:
"Death is an inevitable process. Although I regret the passing of my old friend, I accept this fact calmly. Speaking of which, it shouldn't be a big trouble for you to come to me this time, right?"
Shade then weighed it:
"It's not too big. I just encountered an ancient evil creature that can resurrect from the dead through its own kind, so I want to ask you for advice on how to eliminate immortality."
Priest August took a deep breath to adjust his mood, and then nodded slowly:
"Is it a bug?"
"How do you know?"
"This ability to resurrect through groups often appears in some special bugs. Let me tell you more specifically. I need to arrive at the public cemetery outside the city before 2:30 pm, so you still have two hours.
.”
It is not troublesome to briefly explain the origin and ability of the "Paradox Worm", but Shade still can't explain exactly how the "Watcher" appeared, and Priest August can only understand it through his description:
"Generally speaking, except for conceptual abilities, other methods of cutting off immortality are all targeted. One method can deal with the immortality caused by strong vitality, but it may not be able to deal with the whispering element of the relic.
And the resulting immortality, you should understand this."
"So, either we figure out the principle of the insect's resurrection from the dead and find a way to deal with it, or we use the conceptual method of 'cutting off the undead'? Priest, I know you must have a way."
Shade has great confidence in the old priest, and the latter really has a way:
"After the Battle of Moon Bay, the [Angel's Right Arm] is still in my hand. I have taken advantage of the time in the past few months to carry out a certain degree of transformation on that sword. After all, it is already strong enough.
It should be regarded as strengthening."
The long sword is here now, and it is hung on the wall by Priest Augustus like a decoration. When Shade looked over, he did not notice that the appearance of the long sword had changed.
"The origin of this sword is the Angel of Order, which makes it have a certain degree of resistance against non-order phenomena. Now with the blessing I have exerted, it can be effective against any 'immortal', but I have not seen that one with my own eyes.
Insect, it is not certain that the power of this sword alone is enough to prevent its resurrection."
The priest said and waved his hand, letting the [Angel's Right Arm] float in front of Shade:
"But according to your description, although the Paradox Bug is scary, it is not a death-type ancient evil, so its immortality should not be particularly strong. The principle of resurrection from the dead seems to be just a manifestation of the population effect.
This sword should be enough, if you think it is not enough, I can go to Vesta Grove to help."
Shade also considered asking the priest to go to the forest directly, but then he felt that it was not necessary yet:
"Although thanks to Miss Danister's protection, the college did not discover that Dr. Schneider and the rest of us had left Tobesk for a long time, we still have to keep someone here after all.
And, priest, you are the only one who has never been to Vesta Grove. That forest has been proven to be the eyes and ears of something, so don't go there unless it's the last minute. If I need to
If you go, then it should be the final battle."
Priest August also understood Shade's thoughts, so he did not insist on helping.
Then he asked Shade about the effectiveness of the batch of "angel elixirs". Many of those potions were used by the Witch's followers on the night when the [Dream Tree] invaded Vista City, and Shade also
We asked them about their specific feelings:
"It's different from holy water. The effect of holy water takes effect immediately and can bring people back from the edge of serious illness. However, the effect of elixir to replenish the spirit is not instant. Compared with 'replenishing the spirit', it is more like a certain period of time.
Internally accelerates the spirit's regeneration speed.
Those who used the potions were all girls from the middle circle. They said that when the spirit was almost completely exhausted, it would take about three minutes for a tube of elixir to fully restore the spirit, and if you cast spells during this period, the recovery would be slower.
But if the spirit is only partially consumed, the recovery speed will be much faster. It is almost equivalent to the fact that the less spirit that needs to be replenished, the faster the recovery speed will be."
The priest carefully wrote down these things in his notebook:
"If possible, it would be better to find some men as a comparison group. At present, the effect of the medicine is not much different from what I expected. The subsequent adjustments should only focus on the taste and whether it can be concentrated."
"There is also an interval between medication. Now the angel elixir can only be taken once in a short period of time, right?"
Shade reminded again, but the priest believed that this situation was difficult to overcome, at least with his current potion level, he could not solve this problem.
Now that he returned to Tobesk, Shade was in no hurry to leave. He first sent [Angel's Right Arm] back home, and then took little Mia to Old John's pawn shop. In the past two weeks, he has not
I came to visit again when I had time, this time I wanted to thank Old John for the [Forest Hermits Group].
"I don't believe you came all the way from the city center to me just to say thank you."
The old man behind the counter said without raising his head. He was wearing folding telescopic glasses.
The glasses are made of metal frames, with small lenses and a front-to-back retractable structure. The magnification can be adjusted by pulling out or folding during use. The old man wore glasses, holding tweezers in each hand, and carefully manipulated the counter.
A brass pocket watch on:
"You are a busy man now. I have heard that the Vesta Grove is now in chaos. The old god cults that emerged from every corner of the material world are moving there. There are even many people who have been here before.
Orders thought to have disappeared have appeared."
"This is the church and college summoning them, and it has nothing to do with me. But speaking of it, there are indeed other things to do when I come here this time."
He smiled and put the cat on his shoulder on the counter. The cat didn't run around and just lay beside Shade's hand:
"Do you have any relics related to the 'Demon Hunter' here?"
Although the doctor said that [Demon Hunter's Notes] is enough, considering that he has the power of thirteen demons in his body, including even a very powerful one, Shade still wants to be cautious and get more
Relics that can suppress demons:
"For example, [Demon Hunting Seal] is fine. I'll buy as much as you have."
"[Demon Hunting Seal]?"
Old John raised his head and looked at him in surprise with his left eye without glasses. Because the retractable glasses of his right eye were still fully pulled out at this moment, he looked particularly like the "mechanical machine" mentioned in the story.
wack":
"As much as you want? Detective, why do you think I have such a relic? In your story, such evil things appear many times. You know better than me what the ring represents.
No, not even one. I won't accept this kind of thing if it is given to me for free. If someone consigns this kind of relic to me, I will definitely beat him out. Isn't your sword more effective than a seal?"
"I encountered something else this time. If it doesn't happen, it won't happen. I didn't have any hope at the beginning."
In fact, there should be other relics related to hunters in St. Byrons Comprehensive College besides the [Edgeless Blade]. But now that the demons in the Vista Grove have been eliminated, if Shade applies for such relics again
, even if it is possible to go through Miss Denister's channel, the Library Management School will definitely have doubts.
Dr. Schneider was already suspected by the academy, so there was no need for him to create extraneous problems. What he needed most now was to keep this secret:
"Speaking of which, aren't the [Guiding Light Hermitage] going to send people to join in the fun this time in the woods? I know that forest is very dangerous, but you probably also want to confirm what will happen next, right?"
