Most of the rooms in the Three Cats Hotel are extremely narrow, with desks, cabinets and beds taking up most of the room. Although he can completely observe this place at a glance, Shade still had the patience to check it carefully:
"Soothsayer, I'm going to use thaumaturgy to listen to the sounds within 48 hours. You can take advantage of this time and try to see if you can divine this room and find out what Darkness has done here."
Ring warlocks who manipulate time also have the ability to resist time-related abilities. The Zhengshen Church will definitely search this house carefully. Although the possibility that the church also has ring warlocks who can listen to the voices of the past is very low, the probability of hearing Shade's voice is very low.
Lower, but to be on the safe side, Shade did not name the thaumaturgy, let alone call Luvia's name during the operation.
"no problem."
Luvia nodded and sat on the chair in front of the desk, while Shade supported the bed with his hands and sat on the edge of the bed.
The room is a little small, but the soundproofing here is pretty good. In addition, Darkness lives here alone, and the echoes in the past are more likely to obtain the sound of human speech, so Shade thinks that he can hear it after a few tries.
Let’s get to the conversation just now between Darkness and the thirteen-ring warlock “Bloodweeper” Hermons.
He was curious as to why the weeper didn't directly kill the traitor.
The spirit hook element in the body used thaumaturgy, and the sound of boots stepping on the ground came to his ears. Then Shade really heard Darkness's voice. But that was not the conversation that just happened, but the other party's "self-talk"
.
"The thing I need is actually in Yodel Palace? Is this script going to kill me?"
"Isn't it normal to take some risks for the sake of strength?"
The second sentence is the devil's language. Just hearing the terrible language makes Shade's scalp numb. The devil's voice that speaks through the fish training ring is very low, almost whispering. It uses a very seductive voice to bewitch Duck.
Nice, maybe Darkness giving the demon the ability to speak was the worst thing he did.
"If I was worried about the risks, I wouldn't come to Tobesk. But it is the Yodel Palace after all, and even if you help me pay the price, the script will definitely make me encounter bad luck when I act."
Darkness sighed.
"Yes, but it is necessary. The small amount of human pus you released was quickly cleaned up, wasn't it? I can feel that even if the Orthodox Church is not counted, there are still many terrible people living in this city.
There are even my kind among them, and you and I alone are not enough to fight them."
The demon continued to whisper, and the thing it mentioned should refer to the dream that Shade and the doctor had cleared up.
"Oh, my dear Ivan."
Even though he and the other party were not at the same time, this tone still gave Xia De goosebumps:
"Darkness requires you to understand it yourself. The key to the ritual lies in the dark realm, and do you think items with the dark power of the ancient gods can be found anywhere?"
The demon continued to whisper, although it was taking risks by tempting Darkness, but what it said was actually right. Luvia paid a high price to find the Judge's Holy Bell for Iluna.
"The Puppet Operator's script says that in the treasury of Yodel Palace there is the hilt of the Dark Sword, a ceremonial sword once used by the priests of the ancient god Fu Xing. The hilt of the Dark Sword contains some power. Now that he has embarked on this journey
The road, yes, I can't turn back."
He then paced back and forth in the room, then opened the door and walked out.
Shade waited for a while to confirm that there was no follow-up to the sound, then tilted his head and asked Luvia at the table:
"Do you know about the Darksaber?"
"I know that the ceremonial swords used by the priests of the ancient gods before the gods left were as powerful as relics. It is said that the swords are completely invisible due to the power of darkness, and only the priests of the ancient gods can
See, so it is also called the sword of non-existence. After the gods left, although the dark sword lost its invisibility, it was still a powerful magical item and alchemical item. It was just that it was very old, so it only existed in the Sixth Age.
It’s recorded.”
Among the three people's division of labor, Luvia was responsible for searching for information, so she had learned about the famous items that contained the dark power of the ancient gods.
"Oh, is this what was stolen last night?"
Luvia understood that Shade had found a clue.
"Yes, but there is only the hilt, which is kept by the royal family as an antique. In addition, the price paid by Darkness for using the puppeteer's script will be borne by the devil."
"The devil must not have told the truth, otherwise how could he have bumped into Iron Right Hand and you last night?"
Luvia shook her head:
"Never trust the devil."
She continued her divination, and Shade continued to listen to the sounds.
The second time I tried, I heard the maid's complaints and the sound of mopping the floor. She was complaining that she worked hard but received a low salary; the third and fourth times heard the quiet wind and the sound of the next room respectively.
There was a sound of Shade blushing.
On the fifth time, Shade finally heard Darkness' voice again. But not only did the voice seem to come from an extremely distant place, but it was also accompanied by a rustling background sound, making the voice of the speaker extremely blurry.
Even if you concentrate on listening, you can barely hear part of the content.
"what happened?"
Foreigner, someone is interfering with your listening. The other party is not targeting the power of time, but using thaumaturgy to interfere with the propagation of sound at the point in time where he is.
"Darkness definitely wouldn't use this method to 'talk to himself', so it's only possible that I heard his conversation with others!"
Shade was overjoyed and moved his steps to try to make his voice clearer. At this time, Darkness happened to say the key content:
"Mr. Hermons, are you sure you won't kill me, a traitor?"
It looks like the conversation happened just an hour ago.
Gu/span> "Ivan, you just took the wrong path. You are a very promising ring magician. I know I can persuade you, so I came."
This voice is none other than Hermons the Bloodweeper, and his weak tone is very recognizable.
"So what exactly do you want me to do? Do you know?"
"Of course I do. Now, Ivan, I will give you a way to redeem yourself for your betrayal. Become the second chosen one, and then follow me back to the New World. You should have heard about the organization's finding the entrance to the Creation Delivery Room.
If you can succeed, I can give you a chance to get in there."
"You mean the golden human?"
Darkness's voice trembled, and Shade also knew about the "golden human".
The Blood Spirit School believes that the current Sixth Age is the Bronze Age. In the distant past, human blood was golden. Humans in that golden age had greater power, and they pursued "golden humans" and purified human blood.
This is the most fundamental purpose of inheriting the ancient supernatural organization Blood Spirit School.
The reason why I helped Mercury's Blood in the first place was because the school believed that Mercury's Blood was the bridge from the Bronze Age to the Golden Age.
"We only found the entrance, but we haven't fully explored the power there. But you are different, Ivan, you are the chosen one."
Shade heard the thirteenth-ring warlock cough a few more times.
"After you become the chosen one, your life ring will turn into pure gold, which is one of the characteristics of golden humans. After that, when you enter the creation delivery room, I think you will be closer to becoming gold than anyone else.
The Gate of Blood."
Shade interpreted this sentence to mean that the Weeping Blood One did not know how to use the Creation Delivery Room, but believed that the chosen ones would receive special treatment when entering such a space.
"Ivan, I don't have the patience to wait for you to think. Tell me the answer now, do you agree to my request? If you agree, I will help you complete the ceremony of the chosen one. I have prepared a lot for this, and there are still my people outside the city.
If you don’t agree, I think you also know the school’s punishment for traitors.”
Although Hermons' tone was still calm, the words spoken by a thirteen-ring warlock were a real threat.
And the guy who coexists with the devil is indeed very knowledgeable about current affairs:
"Sir, please forgive me for my betrayal. I am willing to become the chosen one with your help, and then return to the school to help the school move towards the Golden Gate."
"very good."
Hermons laughed:
"Then tell me, what do you need for your ceremony?"
Darkness obviously hesitated, but for the sake of his life, this hesitation did not last long. He said very cautiously:
"The ritual requires me to swallow darkness. Sir, I need to enter the core of the dark realm of angel-level relics."
"Okay, I know you took the risk and entered Tobesk because you were definitely not crazy. Do you have any other relics in your hand? Do you need to prepare anything else?"
"On the way to Tobesk, I experienced some battles. Now I only have the murderer's steel needle on me. You know, the relic of the Keeper of Secrets. It can kill ordinary people with one stab, but it can kill ring warlocks."
It produces a very strong paralysis effect. Even a thirteenth-ring warlock will be paralyzed for at least half a second. The rest is necessary."
This is a precious offensive relic, and its price is more expensive than all the relics Shade has bought combined. But Darkness obviously didn't tell the truth, and Shade knew that the fish training ring must still be in his hand.
"Then, Ivan, I'll give you five minutes to pack your belongings. If I can find you, the Zhengshen Church will also find you sooner or later. You are so bold to live in a place like this."
Then there was the sound of Darkness simply packing up her things, and then the two of them left together.
"There are results."
After the sound in his ears completely quieted down, Shade spoke to Luvia again.
He briefly recounted what he heard. The two most critical points were that Darkness had temporarily reconciled with the Blood Spirit School, and that the two had decided to go to the southeast of the city and be swallowed up by darkness, so that they were completely
A town that people outside the world forget about.
"It's going to happen this time. Darkness already knows the darkness and has obtained an artifact with the power of the ancient god. Once he completes the ritual, it will be much harder to kill him than it is now. The chosen one is affected by fate.
Blessed.”
Luvia dropped the amethyst pendant in her hand:
"My divination failed to obtain as much real information at once like yours. But I can at least be sure that they did not set off directly to that darkness. Even a thirteen-ring warlock would not do so without preparation.
Randomly breaking into an out-of-control relic of a local nature.”
"In other words, the situation is not urgent yet and we need to catch up directly?"
Shade looked into Luvia's eyes and confirmed.
"Yes."
The girl with purple eyes nodded and put away her divination supplies, looking very anxious:
"Next, we will split up. I will go to the black market to pass this information to the church. Detective, you go to the witch and tell her this information. The church and the witch had better take action immediately. Originally, I was thinking that maybe Dark
Ness won't survive the Dark Realm at all, but now he has helpers."
The soothsayer bit her lower lip.
Shade knew what Luvia meant. The original plan of the three of them never included dealing with a fully capable thirteen-ring warlock.
