Chapter 219 The Pirate's Blood Money

After shaking hands with the two of them, Miss Bayas looked like As if relaxed, he sighed and said:
"Okay, you guys have regained my trust, but this information annoys me even more. I don't understand. Why hasn't the church told me about this?"

"Because it doesn't make sense to tell you, it will make you think wildly. Even more how, even the Orthodox Church will not know more about "The Whispering Psalm" than I do."

Miss Anat said she had a really good laugh tonight, which Shade attributes to the color of her pretty red lipstick. It's a pity that he can only say that it is red, and he can't distinguish it in detail, but the red is really beautiful.

"The church's attitude towards the chosen is not clear, because they don't know what it means. Iluna, cooperate with us, it will not harm the interests of the church, after all we are all Yes"

Miss Anat looked towards the young detective pouring tea, who immediately added:
"Positive characters, we are all positive characters in the story."

"I know this. I believe in my ability to see people. You are all good people. You are all helping me. I am also willing to be friends with you. It's just."

Rapunzel leaned against On the sofa, eyes looked towards the ceiling. This action will reveal the fair neck, Shade glanced away immediately to avoid being misunderstood.

"The Whispering Poems and the Chosen One, it turns out to be the same thing, so a lot of things can be explained. Heh, it sounds like I'm the Chosen One in those Knight novels' Destiny Child'. The epic of the sixth era, Detective, Miss Anat, do you think I am really qualified to be the kind of person who can be recorded in the legend?"

In the excitement of learning the truth After the end, the young girl was confused again.

"Of course, you are meant to be."

This was Miss Annette's opinion, she looked sure.

"We'll be by your side no matter what," says Shade, who understands the other person's mood. Knowing that he is special, but worrying that he cannot play a role well, is very similar to the feeling that he knows he is a foreigner, but is worried that he will not be able to adapt to the new life.

Because of this empathy, he said more words:

"Since we have decided to help you, we will accompany you to the end, the end."

The two sides were honest with each other, which was the last hidden danger in the cooperation. Although the unexpected meeting and frankness made Shade almost stabbed by Miss Anat and hit by Miss Bayas's [Sunshine Gun], the whole process went smoother than Shade thought.

After all, he had already gained a high enough opinion from Miss Beas. From this point of view, Miss Anat's plan was successfully realized on Shade.

After confirming the relationship of mutual trust between the two parties, they talked about the reasons for the three people to appear at this banquet.

It goes without saying why Shade came here, Miss Anat even teased the phrase "Hamilton of Rejed", and Miss Bayas congratulated softly.

As for Miss Annette and Miss Bayas, they didn't have an invitation letter, but they managed to get in.

They came for a [relic], that relic can pay the price of Miss Anat's accurate divination, so as to use divination to obtain the ceremony needs of Miss Beas to become the real chosen one.

"Actually, I've always wondered what the price of your so-called divination is. Can the price be paid with [Relic]?"

Before Shade broke in, the two ladies were also preparing Talking about this, now the topic can continue.

"This can be regarded as my special innate talent, paying the price to accurately predict the future. Now I can tell you, there are three ways to pay the price, I pay part of my soul, pay a specific relic, or."

She hooked the head without continuing:

"Look, this is the relic."

Miss Annat took out a white paper bag, the paper The bag is full of spells. The general meanings of these texts from different eras can be interpreted as "suppressing curses", "purifying" and "sacred".

The paper package was wrapped in a small object, which turned out to be a gold coin when it was removed, three times the diameter of a penny coin. This gold coin should be considered an antique, and its rusty appearance is full of history.

After the gold coin appeared, the voice in her head immediately reminded Shade that this was the item she felt had a very strong Whisper element. And that paper bag can actually block the perception of distant Whisper elements. Before Shade broke into the room just now, it probably happened to be the moment when the paper bag was opened.

This is a cursed item that must be touched with gloves. That's why Miss Annette wears white gloves instead of the similar gloves that go with her gown. After getting permission, Shade checked the gold coin. The upward side is the pattern of the skull holding the purse with the broken hand, while the back is the skull pattern. In the left eye of the skull is a snake spitting out a letter.

There is a half-circle of text on the edge of the back. Shade asked Miss Anat to confirm that the properties of the gold coin were not triggered by spells, and then deciphered the text:

[The greedy uses the soul In exchange for gold coins. ]

"This is a sage-level (Level 2) relic [pirate blood money], to be exact, a part. The records about [pirate blood money] can be traced back to the Early-Stage of the Sixth Epoch , A group of pirates landed on the unnamed island after the storm, and found a treasure in it. There was a box of coins in the treasure, and this was one of them. According to the church's post-mortem investigation, the total number of coins was between 1025 and 1034. The 27 pirates divided them up took the box of gold coins and spent them in the dock taverns, brothels and casinos after they docked. Any pirates who spent the blood money would throw themselves into the sea at midnight on the third day of the blood money spent, The soul is absorbed by the blood money, and the body turns into an undead."

Miss Anat said, Miss Bayas looked the same as Shade, and just knew what it was:
"Is that the only way?"

she asked, putting on gloves to take the rusted gold coin from Shade.

"Of course it's not just that. The undead who threw themselves into the sea will return to shore after death and kill those who traded blood money with them, but they won't take the blood money with them. Once the transaction happens again, they will go ashore again, along with the second person who used the coin and threw himself into the sea to turn himself into an undead, and hunt down the second person who got blood money through the transaction. And so on and so forth. This means that , behind each piece of blood money, there is a group of undead waiting to be hunted. If an individual uses multiple pieces of blood money at the same time, it will only be affected by the first one, and the other blood money will take effect in the hands of the next user."

Miss Anat took the coin from Miss Beas and flipped it with her fingers easily:
"Of course, the undead hunters in the sea can't leave the ocean too far. So if you get blood money through trading Those who live in the inland will go to the sea under the guidance of the power of relics. There is even a saying that those who hold blood money are led to the sea by the power of fate.”

“This is The power of a Level 2 relic?"

Shade couldn't help but sigh, more than 1,000 coins represent more than 1,000 undead teams, and this is the first sage he really came into contact with Class relics.

"The Sage is the dangerous level of all blood money. If there is only one, it is probably only equivalent to the Secret Keeper (Level 3)."

Miss Anat said.

"So what about containment? As long as they are contained by the church, don't those undead in the sea lose their meaning?"

Miss Bayas asked.

"It's not that easy, otherwise it wouldn't be rated as a sage."

Miss Anat shook her head:

"[Pirate's blood] Money] itself is deceptive, although you can now see the positive and negative sides of this gold coin are different, but this is the activation form. I use it, it will become like this. Once I go to the seaside violent death, Then the appearance of blood money will become ordinary old coins. In this era, it will become old gold pounds. In the inactive state, it has almost no Whisper element itself, even if the ring warlock knows the characteristics of this relic, it is very difficult Find the difference in your own wallet. In the 15 centuries since it was first discovered, the Church has contained the total."

"You use it?"

Shade It was rude to interrupt Miss Anat:

"Miss Anat, are you sure you know what you are going to do?"

Miss Bayas also said worriedly:
"That's why we quarreled tonight. I know Miss Anat has her own secrets. It's understandable that there is a price to pay for accurate divination, but I've never heard that relics can be a price."

"Don't worry, I activated this blood money two days ago, and before that, it had been with me for three months. I trade with myself, then my The identity is the trader, not the trader. In this way, I will not die in three days, but wait for me to go to the seaside and be killed by the army of undead. Only by activating it, I can make it as a price, consume relics for divination ."

Shade also thinks this is too dangerous:

"The price of your accurate divination is this relic of blood money?"

"Three The 'paying relic' in this way is just a form of price, and any coin type relic is fine. The coin itself is the most complex symbol in mysticism, and it can even represent civilization together with words. The relic's [Whisper], The [Enlightenment] of coins, what I need is not coins, but the elements of [Whisper] and [Enlightenment] that exist harmoniously in this special item. Only in coins and more special types of relics, there is such power."

She played with the gold coin in her hand, Shade pondered this statement, and Miss Bayas, who came from the church, looked at Miss Anat seriously:
"Miss Anat, do you know this kind of thing? Very strange? I've heard of people who can absorb relics and make them a part of themselves, but those people are no doubt out of control. You're as dangerous as throwing a gunpowder bomb by a fire."

"I'm not absorbing them, I'm paying for them. "

Miss Anante said, with a confident expression on her face:

"This is not the first time I've done this." Three years ago, I got 6 blood money to activate when I needed to do a divination. The first five had to be consumed in a previous accident (note), and this one is the last in my hands. ”
