Chapter 190 [Another Face]

Follow the attendant to the maid Tifa, go through In the long and quiet corridor, Shade first considered how much Mia was worth the price of the carpet under his feet, and then found that after meeting the king, he did not have the idea of "I can replace him" like the protagonist in the stories he had read in the past.

Not only because, compared to mysticism and those supernatural powers, worldly rights are really nothing. It is also because the study of ring warlock is too time-consuming, and the king just now is still working at 8 o'clock in the evening, and even 8 o'clock is not over.

The miserable hairline of the other party can well explain the hard work of the king's profession.

It's hard to come to a different world, and foreigners want to see more of this magnificent and mysterious world, rather than spend a lifetime in front of a desk.

After meeting with the maid Tifa, the two left the Yodel Palace. But instead of returning to St. Teresa Square immediately, he took the carriage to pick up the relic that the Duchess had promised.

By the way, the maid will also hand over the promised "Shiroishi Crystal" to Shade.

On the carriage, Shade took back the items that belonged to him. And he also mentioned the conversation with Larus III, especially the last sentence. Miss Tifa Serveit smiled when she heard the question, so that Shade didn't have to worry about it:

"Those who are in power always think that they are all around pretenders, obviously our king, I can't escape this sentence."

The promised relic was placed in Miss Galina's mansion on the outskirts of the city. Although Shade got the address last time, it was the first time he came here.

This place is really weird.

He looked towards the outside from the carriage's window the whole time, and found that the closer he got to the house, the thicker the fog around him, and the fog didn't look like the large amount of fog in the city caused by exhaust emissions. fog.

When the carriage stopped in front of the tall fence gate of the suburban mansion, the surrounding fog suddenly disappeared. Looking all around, except for the dirt road where the carriage came, it was surrounded by woods and wasteland, and in the distance it was completely gray.

"This place is a bit like the residence of the witches in the story."

Of course, he just thought about it and didn't dare to say his thoughts in front of the maid.

Because the owner of the house, Miss Galina, was away, Shade didn't go in, but stayed at the Carriage High Level. The maid Tifa soon returned along the gravel road in the central axis of the mansion's courtyard. After boarding the carriage, the carriage immediately turned around and returned.

Shade looked towards the house in the dark from the car window, only to realize that not a single light was on inside. This strange situation increased his doubts about this place, but because he did not actually enter the house, the voice in his heart was also imperceptible.

"Detective, this is what you want."

While Shade was thinking about it, the maid had carefully opened the cloth bag in her hand. Wrapped in blood-stained yellow sackcloth is a stone mask with a face looks sinister, but only with a hole in the mouth, and the eyes and nose are blocked.

Shade's thoughts were withdrawn, and after the blink of an eye [Echo of Blood] opened, the stone mask was covered with blood.

"This is the secret keeper-level relic that Miss brought you, detective, would you like to guess its function?"

She asked, then handed the mask to Shade . Because it is completely stone material, so this thing is quite heavy. The surface of the stone is rough, and it is even a little prickly to the touch:
"Will a human become a vampire after wearing it?"

Shade thought for a while and said jokingly.

"No, this is a secret keeper-level relic [another face], drop two drops of his own blood on the two eyes of the mask, then the user can manipulate this The face makes it fly, and you share the vision, smell and senses with it. The mask itself is very offensive, with the ability to swallow and digest, and the mask swallows any living creature, it will bring short-term power and The increase in stamina."

"What about the side effects?"

If you just listen to these effects, [Another Face] can be regarded as a perfect and without blemish ranged Attack Type weapon.

"Once you start using this mask, the connection to it cannot be dissociated unless the user dies. The user must control this mask to eat a living person every week, otherwise [another face] Must get out of control, forcibly attach to the back of the user's head, devour the user's soul, manipulate soulless corpses. Don't put it on the head of any creature, and leave it unattended, must wrap in this sackcloth Hold on, this piece of cloth has the blood of hundreds of devout church clergymen, it's a containment condition."

The carriage swayed, presumably because the wheel hit a stone:
"Detective, Are you satisfied with this relic?"

She asked Shade, knowing that the negative characteristics of this relic were almost unacceptable to normal people.

In a relatively small space, the fragrance of the lady maid can easily be felt by Shade. When she asks, there is a subconsciously forward movement of her head, which makes the scent more pronounced.

The side effects of the relic are huge, but Shade fully accepts. He doesn't need weapons, he needs disposable props.

As long as this mask is used when there is a chance to draw divinity, even if it is unsuccessful, the mask will be shattered by the Devouring God who tries to overestimate one's capabilities, and it will not be kept by him at all.

"Very satisfied."

Hearing this answer, the maid showed a strange expression, but did not ask any further questions.

"Also, here's the white stone crystal you want."

She handed Shade another tawny wooden box. After opening it, I saw that it was filled with straw, and in the middle of the straw lay a round crystal the size of a goose egg.

white Translucent, not uniform inside, but flocculent. This is not a standard ellipsoid, its surface is a pentagon facet.

Shade just glanced at the box and closed the box. Although he could not find the information on "White Stone Crystal", he also understood that the other party didn't need to deceive himself:

"Then Miss Serveit" , as the price of me getting this crystal, what do you need me to do?"

He didn't forget that there was a price.

The maid in the same compartment as Shade smiled, because her lips were wearing a very light lipstick, and this action made the lines of her lips clearer:
"It's not difficult, even with Dangerous relics don't have anything to do with it either, it's my personal business. Well, I've been working on some unique potions lately."

She put her right hand into the pocket of the maid's skirt, her fingers slit There are three wooden vials with the same style, but with different numbers and numbers engraved on the surface, and the length is similar to that of ordinary pens.

Shaking his palms, the small bottle between his fingers immediately made a sound of liquid shaking:
"I probably succeeded, but I hope to find someone to help me."

"No, I won't drink any potions of unknown origin."

Shade shook his head and said that the white stone crystals are not only available from here, and he is not willing to take risks to try any potions . Although the maid and Miss Galina were temporarily trusted by him, it did not mean that he would agree to anything without thinking.

And more importantly, he had absolutely no idea about Tifa Serveit's potion level.
