Chapter 136 The Fish Scale Bomb and the Maid

"Miss Luysha, are you sure it's okay?"

Shade asked while using [Moon Shadow's Illusion Technique]. The mist of silver surged from the surroundings, wrapping him and Miss Luisa in it. The silver moonlight on his fingertips disappeared, and the murloc faced the silver mist in front of him, screaming angrily, but he could only rampage, and its IQ was probably not as good as Mia's.

"Detective, you can do it, what's wrong with me? Give me treatment later, you go save that little girl first."

The blonde lady said, Shade so nodded , while Miss Luysha took the initiative to step out of the Illusion Technique range to attract the murloc, he slipped away from the murloc with the box and ran to the girl in the alley.

The loss of control of the relic is almost equal to the certain death situation for the ordinary person. Shade had planned for the worst, but after a little check, she found out that she was only in a coma, with a large piece of fish scales around her neck. This can be cured, and this kind of injury does not require [false immortality] at present.

It looks like they came just in time.

He took the girl to the far side of the alley, and when he went to see Miss Luyisa, he saw that the ring of life behind her was spinning, this time it was still the rune of [Frozen Dead].

But then, the Miracle spirit rune also lit up.

Shade heard Miss Luisa's voice:
"What ichthyosis fears most is not flames, but freezing!"

Goldilocks stretched her hands forward, chilling Escape to the surroundings. The rustling sound came from the mist-filled alley, and the murloc who was screaming gradually slowed down until he fell to the ground.

"Detective, take her back!"

She said to Shade in the dark.

“Where to go?”

“The farther away the better, and squat down with your ears covered.”

“en?”

Although he was puzzled, he still did it. When Shade made the move, he saw Miss Luysha take out a spherical object from her robe, first knocked it on the wall, then shook it vigorously, and finally pulled the spherical object. The ring on the surface of the object threw it to the frozen murloc on the ground, and finally ran to the depths of the alley in a panic, which is the direction of Shade and the unconscious little girl.

Shade saw behind Miss Luysha, the ball-shaped thing the size of a palm, and after it landed, it started to spin around, spewing hot white steam toward the surroundings. .

Although he had never seen such an item, the knowledge of a stranger made him guess what it was. In the soft laughter of the woman next to his ear, he covered the ears of the unconscious little girl with both hands, and he shrunk his body with the box and closed his eyes.

Boom~
The fire and the loud noise were enough to wake up two nearby blocks, and Shade even felt the ground shake under his feet. After the explosion, the ears kept buzzing.

Opening her eyes, I saw Miss Luyesha, who had fallen to the ground, jumped up. She didn't bother to straighten her hair, and turned back to the dust of the explosion. In a few seconds, he carefully held a black scale and ran to Shade, shouting as he ran: "Haha, it really fears the cold the most! He died, I got the [relic]! Detective, run! I'll hold this little girl."

"What did you use just now?"

Shade turned around and followed Miss Luyesha along while patting the dirt on his hair. The embankment got into the fog, and the police whistle could be heard in the distance. They had to run faster, or they would throw into the river and escape.

"Military Drake II integrated steam bomb! This is the most effective for dealing with the out-of-control ichthyosis!" The unconscious little girl took Shade's hand and jumped to the roof of the next house. The two and the voice disappeared together in the thick fog of the night.

No matter how chaotic downtown is, it's not trivial for a steam bomb to explode in the city, so they didn't stop panting in an unlit alley until they ran three blocks out.

The sound of rioting in the distance has already sounded, and teams of police officers can be seen hurrying past the alley.

First of all, I checked the situation of the little girl who was carried by Miss Luysha. This was probably a girl from a poor family living nearby. Her shoes were bare toes and her clothes were patched. , The face looks like it hasn't been washed in a long time.

Shade made some "full food" to suppress the spread of fish scales, and then used [Sindia's Silver Moon Gift] to remove the fish scales for Miss Luisa and the girl at the same time. Although this is not a mental issue, Silver Moon's rays of light seem to be very resistant to this disease.

It's just that Shade is a warlock, because I've used Mystic Art too many times this night, and I feel a little overwhelmed.

And during this period, Miss Luysha also introduced the situation of the fish scales she cautiously twisted in her hands.

The fishy smell on the scales is very strong.

"The document-level relic [scales of the drowned murloc], I have read the information on this thing in the Academy library. In 2983 of the Fifth Age, the fishermen on the shore of the Western Continent Eastern Sea were out hunting During fishing, a strange monster corpse was accidentally caught in the fishing net. The monster has human legs and a complete fish body, and the corpse is highly decomposed."

Shade maintains Mystic Art in his hand , listen quietly. At close range, the fragrance on Miss Luyisa's body is obvious.

“According to the Academy records, the terrified fishermen pushed the bodies back into the sea. But soon after, people in an entire small fishing village developed symptoms of ichthyosis, which is the appearance of fish scales on the surface of the body. , the whole body began to rot. At that time, when the power of the Church of Nature was not as strong as it is now, the matter was irreversible, and the only option was to close the Sea Territory and the area.

In the subsequent burning of the dead bodies, When preventing the spread of the disease, I found this scale. This is the only scale that cannot be burned, and it is the culprit that caused the ichthyosis."

Ms. Luyisa carefully held the black scale. , no relic can be taken lightly. In the darkness of the alley, the fish scales themselves have a deeper darkness.

Of course, the more obvious one is the fishy smell.

"So, the role of this relic is to cause ichthyosis and turn people into fish? But why does it get out of control?"

"Attach the scales to your heart, After contact with water, the body can be transformed into the form of a murloc monster. But in this form, the injury cannot be too heavy, otherwise the outbreak of ichthyosis is only a momentary thing. It can be understood that every second of using the scales, the ring warlock must Use your own body to fight against this scale."

She asked for a bottle from Shade, shook it to create water, and threw the scales into it. The containment of this relic is very simple, just submerge it completely in water.

It took some time for Shade to get rid of the fish scales on little girl and Miss Luysha before Shade completely lost her strength. There is no convenient way to replenish the spirit in the ring warlock, after all, the spirit is more than just energy. But fortunately, spirit rune has the ability to spontaneously transform elements into spirits, and coupled with the afterglow of divinity, Shade recovered quickly.

Later, Miss Luyisa woke the unconscious girl, learned her address from her, and sent her home.

This is a little girl who sells flowers, named Sophie Days. During the day, she hid some money in the alley, not wanting to be blackmailed away by the older children nearby. didn't expect to come back at night to get it, but unexpectedly met monster.

Ms. Luyisa used some methods similar to spiritual suggestion to ensure that little Sophie would not tell what she saw at night. This move is very useful for the confused little girl. apart from this, the two also put together 2 shillings of broken money and stuffed it into her pocket. After confirming that she had arrived home safely, Shade and Miss Luisa left.

It's getting a little closer now, Shade needs to go back as soon as possible. And Miss Luysha planned to visit Shade's house late at night. She is now wrapped in Shade's robe, soaked all over, and has a strong fishy smell on her body. She can't go home like this, so she can only borrow it first. Shade's house changed clothes.

The two walked fast. On the way, Miss Luysha admitted that although she obtained a [relic], her action tonight could only be regarded as a failure:
"I think it's better to wait for the doctor to recover. Let's act again. The doctor's ring warlock ability is quite suitable for reconnaissance and intelligence spying activities, which we can't compare." After being frozen, it was blown up by a bomb. Of course, the information Miss Luyisa wanted was unavailable.

The two talked while walking. Most of the time, Miss Luysha complained that she didn't take such a good opportunity tonight. Of course, she didn't forget to thank the detective for her help tonight. The fish scales were considered spills of war for two people.

Of course Shade wouldn't refuse. Although he wouldn't use the [Relic] with such a big side effect, he would gladly accept it if he sold it for cents.

Turning from the gas-lit street into St. Teresa Avenue, Shade picks up the keys while talking to the blond writer, only to see a lighted four-wheeled carriage parked at six. door.

"oh?"

Miss Luisa, wrapped in a robe, uttered a questionable interjection.

"My employer is here."

Shade introduced, looking at the carriage and slowing down. The fishy smell on his body is not very strong, and he didn't have close contact with the murloc just now.

"It looks like you're a great employer."

Goldilocks said, Shade couldn't see the difference between this carriage and a normal carriage, but she was still a wet-haired writer You can see it, she points out:

"Look at those all-metal hand-twisted wrought iron patterns around the edges of the carriage, the carriages are painted but the wood can be discerned. And the carriage"

Carriage is standing by, smoking a handmade cigarette, a little red dot glowing in the dark shadows:

"I bet he's definitely a soldier. emblem, but this must be a big noble, no, ordinary big nobles are not qualified to use this kind of carriage. I think about it, in the city of Tobesque now, the women who are qualified to use this kind of carriage are still young women, absolutely not More than three."

Ms. Luisa talked about it at length, and Shade thought again of what Professor Harms Sanchez, Associate Dean of St. Byrons had mentioned, that Miss Luisa and the The royal family of the kingdom of Delarion has an inexplicable connection, and she suspects that she is a member of the Zalasvin Academy, one of the three Mystic Art Academy.

Having lived here for most of my life and knew many great characters because of the respect of the believers, Augustus Priest could not narrow down the scope to such a small extent. Understanding is really great.

“You actually know so much?”

Shade asked her own question, but the female writer also answered naturally and casually:

“ For literary creation, I know a lot of knowledge that is not very useful."

While the two of them were discussing, the car window was pushed open a gap, and the black-haired maid called "Tifa" looked towards Shade, then quickly closed the window.

The whole process takes about a second or two.

"Oh? Why is she still?"

Miss Luyesha sighed again, Shade looked towards her friend unexpectedly, and the female writer seemed to recognize it maid.

She hesitated, glanced at Shade, but said nothing:

"Detective, go see your employer, I won't come near. The fish on me The smell is too fishy."

Miss Dorothy Luisa stopped, but looking at her expression, she must have a lot to say after Miss Galina's maid left.

PS: Although it is similar to the Victorian era of the steam revolution, the steam industry in this world is more prosperous, which was mentioned earlier, so there is a "steam bomb" this thing.

In addition, there are a bit too many more on the shelves. When I have enough to save a wave, I will mention more things. In daily life, one update is added during the festival, and two updates are added for an Alliance Leader. In order to ensure quality, can not write too much.
