Chapter 203 Glowing Pages

To be precise, the time the knock on the door sounded was weekly Six twenty-seven in the morning. And the sleeping Shade was not awakened by the sound downstairs, but by the cat sleeping beside the pillow.

This timid cat was extra alert when sleeping. After the knock on the door downstairs woke it up, it lowered its head and kept scratching the pillow with its paws to make noise. And when Shade woke up, Mia immediately got into the thin blanket he was covering, only showing her little head and looking out alertly.

"It's alright, don't be afraid. Oh, who's looking for me so late?"

Shade took the revolver from the bedside table and walked away with a yawn and slippers Go downstairs. The timid cat got out of the blanket and followed him at his feet, but when Shade came to the foyer, the orange cat was standing at the corner of the stairs stick one's head around to look for, with a worried expression.

"Who is it?"

The gas light in the hallway was yellowing, and Shade called out from behind the door. He didn't lose his vigilance because of sleep. While holding the gun in his right hand, the moonlight in the silver in his left hand also lit up.

"Shade, it's me."

Judging from the tone of voice, it was Miss Anat, so she opened the door a little, leaned her body behind the door, and looked out from the side , after seeing the short brown-haired fortune-teller lady, she yawned and pulled off the anti-theft chain:

"Good evening, Miss Anat."

Even if it was a ring Warlock is going to sleep too, and Shade desperately wants to get back in bed now.

"Good evening, Shade."

Miss Annat was clearly in good spirits, with an excited expression on her face, after being greeted by Shade, she pointed to her hand with a smile Grab the paper bag.

"Look, I got it."

"What did I get?"

"Has a relic of Ancient God Strength, just went with old John Pick up the goods at the train station."

Now Shade is no longer sleepy.

The gas lights in the living room are turned to their brightest, and Miss Anat and Shade are sitting on the opposite sofa. Miss Anat put her coat on the back of the sofa, wearing a white shirt with lotus leaf sleeves, and excitedly took out the cube metal box from the paper bag.

"Shade, I remember you said that you can read any text, that's why I came to you so late. Let me see what's on the box?"

p>

The metal box is not a relic, but what is inside. The box itself is a special utensil for containing the relic, and it was sold to Miss Annat along with the relic, which is also an antique.

Shade looked carefully under the gas lamp. The six sides of the box were different pictures, and in the corners of each picture there were fine ancient texts like tadpoles.

After he read it in detail, he sorted out the order of the six aspects before he began to explain:
"This is probably about the process of the ancient people sealing up this item. The first two pictures are about hand-held scales. The god of the god fell from the sky, so all the statues of this god in the material world collapsed."

"This should be the ancient God - the hanging judge, the process of falling."

Miss Anat analyzed, and let Shade continue to explain with expectant eyes.

"The next two pictures are about the item's loss of control. This box should not be the original box, it was copied by a later discoverer, so some languages were recorded incorrectly during recording. According to My understanding, the general meaning is that the contents of the box were originally weapons given to mortals by the gods, but with the departure of the gods, the power of the weapons went out of control, causing a lot of damage. What was inside was a long-handled bell? "

"Yes, that's right, it's a bell."

Miss Annette nodded with a smile, this is the first time Shade has seen her like this since she knew her Excited:
"It's my good luck to be able to buy this relic. This is a secret-keeper-level relic [Judger's Holy Bell], and the body is a bell. The effect is that after ringing the bell, the ring will warlock. A single use of Mystic Art and spells will greatly increase the power."

"What about the negative traits?"

Shade asked as he looked at the words to the light, the cat lying on his back He may have actually fallen asleep beside him.

"Contacting the bell for a long time will cause a shift in the user's character. Calm people will gradually become irritable, easily angry people will become calm, greedy people will be indifferent to fame and fortune, and kind people will become Biased towards evil. In general, it is to reverse the more prominent characteristics of the character, and reverse it again after the three-month phase cycle. Each reversal will make extreme emotions more extreme. But for Iluna ·Beas is invalid, her balanced innate talent restrains this negative characteristic."

At this time, Shade also interprets the meaning of the last two pictures, the last two pictures involve the [Inquisitor's Holy Bell] ] The process of being hidden by the ancients:

"God's departure caused the church to collapse, and the original divine object became a disaster. People paid the price of their lives, and the ancient word was found in modern times. If there is no correspondence, it is probably the meaning of the wise. Let the ancient wise build this box, contain the holy bell, and warn future generations, the truth of the fall of the Ancient God. Don't find out easily."

The text behind this Very shallow, barely readable in light. He could only take a pencil and paper, pressed the paper on the surface, and after swiping quickly with the pencil, he obtained clearer traces:
"The truth of the fall of the Ancient Gods is not that they met the enemy, they voluntarily Leave. Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Miss Annat asked suspiciously, she saw the surprise on Shade's face. Shade also read the last sentence at this time:

"Ancient God, is willing to leave for this world."

He looked at Miss Anat:

"What does this mean?"

"The time when the Ancient God fell is too long ago, and no one can tell the story of the thirteen original gods in detail. But a certain view of "The Whispering Poems" believes that the thirteen Demones emperors who left the "Whispering Poems" are Enlightenment who have obtained the residual power of the thirteen Ancient Gods. As for the reason for the departure of the Ancient Gods, this is the first time for me. I heard that they left voluntarily."

Miss Annat replied cautiously, Shade understood that the other party didn't know much, so he didn't think about it any more, but opened the lid of the box and put it on the soft Take out the bell from the straw.

This is not a small pendant bell, but a golden rattle the size of a half palm. The surface of the long-handled rattle has a wonderful spiral engraving, but it is only a decoration and not a text, so it cannot be deciphered.

When I picked up the bell, it didn't make any sound. The bell could only make a sound when I held the long handle and shook it.

"Can I try it?"

He asked the owner of the bell, and after getting permission, he clenched his right hand and shook it gently:
Jingle~
In this quiet night, the sound seemed to spread to a farther place, and the echoing sound made the cat lying beside Shade glanced around.

The fullness of power made Shade even feel that the spirit turned into substance in the body, so he actively activated Mystic Art [Mystic Art - Little Match Girl], which is the Mystic Art that he could not fully use.

Snowflakes were falling from the sky. At the same time that Miss Annat reached out to touch the fluttering snowflakes in surprise, she saw the illusory shadow of a little girl with a basket appearing beside Shade. But it only took less than a second, and it disappeared in front of my eyes.

Snowflakes fluttered down from the ceiling, Shade looked towards the bell in surprise:
"It's amazing, it not only enhances the effect of Mystic Art, it can even use Mystic Art across the warlock level. ”

But still not enough for Shade to fully use the Labyrinth.

Miss Anat folded her palms, feeling the coldness and wanted to ask what Mystic Art was, but she was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head and looked towards Shade's open-door study:

"Shade, there's something glowing in your study."

Shade turned his head to see where the desk drawer was. A touch of white radiance, flickering like the frequency of breathing, soft and quiet.

"Glowing? What?"

He thought in surprise, walked carefully into the study, opened the drawer, and saw that the page that glowed was actually the page where you can contact the Academy [The Poet Cohen's Manuscript] page.

There is an extra line on the page:

[Shade, please dress slightly formally when you go to Bill Schneider's study session tomorrow afternoon. Your request to view the Tome of Ascension has been approved, and Miss Denister, the librarian, wants to see you. --Hessanger Garcia]

When Shade finishes reading the last letter, the text on the page disappears and the page no longer glows.

He was stunned for a while, then locked the drawer again before turning back to the living room. Miss Anat was repacking the bell back into the box, looking curious, but out of courtesy, she didn't ask Shade's privacy.

Instead, after picking up Mia again, Shade asked seriously:

"Miss Annat, did the Academy give you tasks to monitor the rest of the team."

"Spy? Others?"

Miss Anat looked at him suspiciously and asked:

"Why spy on others?"

"This. Let me tell you a story that I haven't told before. In fact, before today, I always thought that it was possible that they said that to all five of us."

Shade didn't fully trust the group of four when he was initially tasked with monitoring the other four, so he didn't say anything about it. But after two weeks of getting along, he gradually developed trust in Miss Anat, Miss Luisa, Auguste Priest and Dr. Schneider, and intends to reveal this at an appropriate time.

And now, is a good opportunity to reveal to Miss Annette.

He didn't hide anything about the content of the conversation that night, and said the problems of the other four people, including Miss Anat, one after another.

Miss Anante was aware of Miss Luisa's "abnormality", but she was unaware of Dr. Schneider's question, and she made a decision after thinking about August's first question. Explanation:
"Academy's opinion is correct, Augustus priest joining St. Byrons is indeed related to the uncontrolled accident of the Unknown (level 0) relic, and he really wants to investigate the accident. The truth. But what kind of power does Priest hold, even I don't know, just know, Priest's self-healing ability is very strong."

"How strong?"

Shade curiously asked.

"Conservative estimates, as long as they don't die, any injury can be fully recovered within ten minutes."

Shade was frightened by this "conservative", he is not three weeks ago now I don't understand anything, I know very well that this level of self-healing ability is beyond the normal range.
