Chapter 341 New Relics and Spells

Today is Tuesday, Dawn Church Holy Prayer day. Shade promised Owen bishop and Augustus priest to show up at the church in the afternoon for an event and to give a public speech. And apart from this, he still has some things to deal with.

Leaving Mia at home to watch the house, Shade packed the basement and went out.

The trip in the morning is to go shopping.

The first stop was Old John's Pawnshop, where Father John looked at the newspapers and waited for customers as usual. Hearing the sound of the bell, he tilted his head from behind the newspaper to see Shade, and then yawned and said:

"Are you here to buy something today? Speaking of which, how's your exam week going? Like? Luyisa's ancient text should be passed, right?"

Dad John is the black market shop owner who has the best relationship with Dr. Schneider's team.

"Passed, and my alchemy homework passed. Dad, this time I'm going to spend a lot of money on something."

Wake up and stroll through the familiar Tobesque, away from the wet harbour city with its pirates and murlocs, Shade is in a good mood.

"You? A lot of money?"

Dad John looked at him suspiciously, completely disbelieving this statement, and thought it was some kind of bargaining strategy.

So Shade put his hand into the inner pocket of his jacket, then grabbed out the 100 pound note bound with the paper strip; then he reached into the outer right pocket of the shirt and grabbed the 100 pound note bound with the paper strip. ; it ended up in the left pocket, another £100.

Now the largest currency note issued in the kingdom has a face value of 50 pounds, but it is usually only used for the settlement of bulk goods and is rarely seen in the market. Shade took out 5 pound notes, a total of 60 pieces:
"The 300 pound relic you mentioned was consigned by a friend here, and I want it." (Chapter 99)
The old man was surprised looked towards the money, and then nodded:

"It has the function of extracting energy from the lifeform itself or similar entities and non-entities, and then pouring it into the user's body. This is the requirement, right? That thing is still Now, if you want to buy it, I can give it to you, although I knew last time that you met a rich lady, didn't expect."

He didn't go on, but quickly Put away the banknotes. Let Shade wait for a while, then walk for twenty minutes, and come back with a slender thing wrapped in cloth in his hand.

"Cane? Long sword?"

Shade was looking forward to it.

"The walking stick is not that long. If it is a cold weapon, do you think it will only sell for 300 pounds? You should understand how expensive relics in Weapon Category are."

The old man said , put the thing on the counter, then walked quickly to the door of the store and locked the door.

Remove the cloth strip, which is a pair of fishing rods.

"The document-level relic [Soul Fishing Rod], the whole body is black, the material of the fishing rod itself and the hook is similar to steel essence. It is retractable, 5.24 feet (about 1.6m) after it is fully unfolded, and the fishing line is transparent The color is unknown, the material is unknown, and it can be extended as needed.”

The old man neatly took the fishing rod in his hand, and with a ka-cha, pulled out the part of the fishing rod that was tucked inside, and handed it to Shade Let him check.

"[Soul Fishing Rod] Once hooked on a living person, you can harvest the opponent's memory fragment. If the living person is still a ring warlock, you can get a part of his spirit, and there is a very small probability to directly obtain the opponent's spirit. rune, it fits your requirements perfectly. As for the side effects"

Seeing Shade swinging the fishing rod to feel the feel, Dad John tapped on the table to let Shade pay attention:
"Must use Only the way of fishing can activate its function. And the opponent cannot lose the ability to move, and must take the initiative to take the hook. Once hooked, the angler must read the acquired memory and cannot refuse, and the acquired memory is a random segment and cannot be selected. And using this method for a long time to read other people's memories, even the high ring warlock will affect his own character. What's more dangerous is that as long as you use it more than 13 times, there is a chance that you will suddenly see something falling from the sky in the next life. Huge hook."

"oh?"

Shade looked towards him in surprise:

"What is that?"

"I can't answer you, because people who see the hook will touch it and then disappear. The news of the hook is what they say when they see the hook."

The old man shrugged Shoulder:

"Probably some strange existence is fishing, do you see the line of Puluwen on the fishing rod? It is the language of the Quaternary, I happen to understand a little bit, and the translation is roughly It means—"

[We are fishermen, but we are also fish. ]

This fishing rod is not bargained, 300 pounds and has to be paid in cash. Even if Shade brought up the cane, Old John couldn't let it go, because it was consigned to him by a friend, and he didn't have the right to lower the price.

So after paying the money, Shade's deposit dropped from £900 (note) to £600. Although the ability to make money has increased, unfortunately, the cost has also increased.

The fishing rod is for possible divinity next, so this money cannot be saved anyway. After returning the fishing rod home, Shade put on a robe and mask and went to the Black Raven Library.

The acquisition of Whisper spirit rune [greed] was something he did not expect, and the acquisition of spirit rune meant that he could master the power of a new direction. The relationship between greed and time and silver moon is not very big at present, so Shade, as usual, only intends to learn a Mystic Art related to this. If there is a suitable Mystic Art in the future, go to get more greedy power.

Similar to [Gluttony], [Greedy] is also a relatively common spirit rune. Many ancient books and relics can allow Ring Warlock to obtain rune with a similar concept.

In addition to daily necessities, emergency preparedness, repairs to the third floor of his house, and tuition fees for the second grade, Shade still has about 200 pounds in gold pounds. Compared to Mystic Art, who chose [Gluttony] for the first time, this time is really generous.

In the dark little room of the Black Raven Library, Shade sat on the sofa and explained his requirements to the people behind the wall through a small hole in the wall. In order to prevent missing valuable Mystic Art, it is also stated that the price can fluctuate slightly.

It took half an hour for the library to give Shade a list of 7 types of Mystic Art, of which the Whisper element spirit rune [greed] can learn six of them.

The cheapest [Greedy Heart] is worth 15 pounds. This is a passive ability. After learning it, you can enhance your greedy desire. This is Mystic Art that matches other Mystic Art that is conditional on "greed", and general ring warlock will definitely not learn.

And the most expensive one is [Varda's Life-threatening Contract], excluding learning materials, the price is 350 pounds, and it is as high as 1200 pounds with materials. This is an active ability. It uses the "loan" relationship to sign a contract with other intelligent creatures by shaking hands. Once the contract is violated, Mystic Art will claim the life of the violator.

It sounds very difficult to deal with, but Mystic Art is useless compared to its own high-level ring warlock, and it will fail due to the text trap, and it will fail due to the death of the caster, which is a precious "contract" Class Mystic Art.

Shade did not choose the most expensive or the cheapest, and finally chose the Mystic Art [collection] with materials worth 232 pounds.

This Mystic Art is quite simple to explain, using its own greed and cherishing for an item to endow this item with extraordinary abilities.

Mystic Art itself is only useful for normal inanimate items, only one "treasure item" can be selected at a time, and can be replaced with each moon phase cycle. And Mystic Art formidable power is limited by the degree of greed and cherishing of the item itself, as well as its own level.

Different ring warlocks choose different "collectibles" to give different extraordinary abilities, but this ability will only increase according to the item's shape. For example, shoes will make the wearer run faster or jump higher, and glasses will enhance vision in the dark or enhance the field of vision, but it is absolutely impossible that after selecting the ring, the ring will suddenly be able to fire a Fireball.

According to the records provided by the Black Raven Library, most of them learn the ring warlock of this Mystic Art, and the target of the "treasures" is selected as coins or banknotes. Because the greed for banknotes will never decline.

Of course, there are also some ring warlocks that select special Rhodes cards as "collectibles". As a result, the card will have extraordinary power such as flying at extreme speed or being hard and sharp.

You must know that the [Founding Balance] controlled by Shade cannot be sharp enough to be used as a weapon.

This Mystic Art of course also has very mild side effects.

First, the greed for the selected "treasures" like items will be amplified. Second, once the "treasures" selected by themselves are lost, the user of Mystic Art can no longer use Mystic Art during the six-month cycle, and his "greedy" desire will be amplified during this period.

But this side effect is acceptable, so Shade chose to buy this Mystic Art.

Paying high fees brought savings down to around £400. Back at Shade at home, seeing that it wasn't lunch time yet, he finished learning Mystic Art by using materials such as "money grass", "horse bezoar" and "greedy bones".

It's just that there was a small problem with the selection of the "treasures".

He took out all the cards and planned to choose [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl]. But when Mystic Art's aura covered the cards, it was actually the entire deck that included [Origination·Silver Moon] but not [Origination·Balance].

[Founding·Balance] cannot be selected, probably because it has been activated and does not belong to an ordinary item. And the whole deck was chosen, probably because of the increase in the effect of Mystic Art by the "Divine Afterglow" state.

Instead of being able to select multiple targets, he can think of "a group" as "one" target.

The proof of this conjecture is that Shade feels that by substituting different cards into the deck, the replaced cards lose their "selection", and the replaced cards gain "selection". . Therefore, when Shade gets a new special card, the new card does not have to wait for the next moon phase cycle to be selected.

[You spent so much money on Mystic Art, did you just put more cards in the opponent's hands when playing cards? Outlander, you are a greedy person. ]

"Don't slander me."

Shade clicked his finger, and under the effect of [Treasures], fifty-four cards were arranged from top to bottom, in order. He flew from the far side of the table to the table in front of him and stacked neatly.

Then Shade took a newspaper and opened it, and then cut the newspaper with fifty-four cards.

The cost of more than 200 pounds is very worthwhile. In the state of divine afterglow, although these cards are not sharp enough to crack bricks and cracks, they are enough to cut the throat of human beings. Moreover, in the whole deck of cards, the power obtained by special cards is far greater than that of ordinary cards due to the greed in Shade's heart.

If he can replace the entire deck with special cards, Mystic Art's effect may be further enhanced.

When the cards just started flying, Mia hid behind Shade and stick one's head around to look for this scene. And when they stopped on the table in front of Shade again, the stared wide-eyed cat immediately stepped out, jumped on the table, and curiously reached out to touch the top one.

Although the cards have acquired sharp properties, using [Treasures] to control the flying of the cards is far less than Shade's direct manipulation of [Founding Balance]. However, compared to the spell [Moving Objects] that can achieve similar effects, the control of [Treasured Objects] is more refined.

For example, Shade suddenly had a bad intention, and the card that Mia kept slapping suddenly flew up. When Mia was chasing, she manipulated the cards to fly around on the table, making the cat constantly waving its claws.

"Meow~"

It stopped suddenly, pressed its small paw on Shade's arm, and looked at Shade with big amber eyes.

The outlander laughed and stopped the card in front of the cat, which stretched out its paws with great satisfaction.

PS: Shade earned about 100 pounds in Cold Water Harbor because of Le Maire's inheritance, so his original savings was 900 pounds.
