The Whispering Verses Chapter 1047: The Devil’s “Legacy”
"Oh, good afternoon, Shade, my friend, you are finally here."
When Shade braved the snow and arrived at Dr. Schneider's psychology clinic that afternoon, the doctor gave him a very warm hug.
In order to celebrate this afternoon, Dr. Schneider postponed the diagnosis and treatment of two important patients, leaving time exclusively for Shade. He enthusiastically led Shade to the reception room on the second floor, which was the room where the group held meetings every Saturday. The violin case containing the "Night Watcher" was quietly placed on the coffee table.
"Although there were some minor accidents, overall, Sunday's operation went very smoothly."
The doctor had prepared red wine for the celebration. After passing the glass to Shade, the two clinked their glasses with a smile.
"But be careful. I have friends in the church. Although the church has been hampered by other things recently, there are evil spirits from the Third Age in the city, and they will definitely not give up investigating."
Xia De reminded, holding the cup, the doctor nodded:
"I understand that the key task in the next half month is to prepare for the year-end exam. Oh, detective, as the leader of the team, I have more responsibilities than you all."
The doctor put his hands on the window sill and leaned there in a relaxed posture, with the city covered in heavy snow behind him.
Oddly enough, even in the snowy season, the city is still hazy and hazy, which is a characteristic of the Steam City.
"Doctor, what new abilities did you acquire after devouring the demon of proliferation desire?"
Xia De asked while sitting on the sofa, putting the wine glass aside and opening the violin case to check. After the doctor got it back, he probably didn't dare to open it at all. [Night Watcher] was still wrapped in Shade's coat.
"Fani himself is not a powerful demon. Now I can use certain spellcasting methods to see how much desire a person has in his heart. If I want, I can also plant the seeds of desire in an individual's heart. This is to harvest his desires, but this must be coordinated with my dreaming method."
The doctor explained that he had not hidden this from Shade. Because he expected that he might lose control one day, the doctor would tell Shade about his abilities, hoping that Shade would be able to deal with him on the day when bad luck really comes, wearing the [Demon Hunting Seal] and holding the [Night Watch]:
"Besides, there is this."
As he spoke, the doctor took two steps forward, and then called out the life ring behind him. The brass wheel spinning in the steam mist perfectly matches the snowy street scene of the steam city behind him.
At the end of autumn, with the help of Shade, Dr. Schneider had successfully promoted to the sixth ring with the help of the [Forged Philosopher's Stone]. At this time, there were actually four more spiritual runes on his life ring than last time——
"Blasphemy-[Heart of Fire], Whisper-[Long Whip], Blasphemy-[Proliferation], Enlightenment-[Contract]. The first two come from the power of digesting the Balrog, and the latter two come from Panni's Power. In addition to miracles, the other three kinds of spiritual runes brought by swallowing demons are possible."
The doctor who was still at the fifth level at the time did not digest the power of the Balrog immediately, but waited until the sixth level to increase the spiritual runes (Chapter 681).
The doctor also looked back at his life ring:
"With the power of these two demons, I have only been promoted to the sixth ring for one month, and I am already so close to the seventh ring... I still have to thank you, Shade, for these two You brought all these demons to me."
He smiled and thanked Shade again, and Shade sighed in his heart. The doctor used himself to bind an ancient evil demon, and the special talent he obtained seemed to be comparable to that of the chosen Lykins Pooley. Xia's temporary spiritual runes were even more powerful.
But it's fair, fate has taken payment from the doctor in advance, and he deserves the power.
"But I don't expect you to encounter demons again, detective, please remember, never actively provoke those evil spirits, they... are really scary."
Probably thinking of Mr. Sherf Tim and Miss Shana Aya again, the doctor sighed. He put the wine glass in his hand on the windowsill and walked to the desk:
“I’ll share the loot with you, including the ones I found at the Three Cats Inn on Monday. There were a lot of weird things on that guy. But since most of them are demonic creations, I picked a few to keep for myself. Next, the rest was destroyed directly.”
Shad has no problem with this. Demonic creations are even weirder than relics with fixed rules.
"There are still a few things you can use. These are all yours. No need to refuse, I will definitely get more than you."
The doctor took out a red box and handed it to Shade. The original Balrog never came out after being sealed by Miss Violet of the fifth era, so naturally there was nothing on him. However, the demon of proliferating desires is active and traded in human society, and has many items on his body.
After opening the Shade box, the first thing you see is a narrow-necked bottle filled with viscous black oil, plugged with an oak stopper:
"This is..."
"The remains of the devil are like the heart of the Balrog in autumn."
The doctor introduced:
"When I devour the power of a demon, I do not directly eat the entire body of the demon. You have to know a common sense. The body of the evil spirit in the third era does not have a material body. The arsonist merged with the Balrog, Nize is fused with something. All I need is the power of the devil's body, and there are always other parts that I don't need. This is a body part that condenses the devil's power, but most of the power is absorbed by me. ”
The doctor took out the flask from the box and inspected it:
"The remains of Fannie, the devil of desire to increase value, are like the heart of the Balrog, an extremely high-end precious material. If you have the courage to find a potion master to prepare it into a potion and drink it, I am even sure that you You will definitely get a spiritual rune related to Panni."
Xia De shook his head hastily, he would not drink this kind of thing.
My fingers touched the slender bottleneck, and the initial fire in my body immediately began to stir. Although the demon's true power was absorbed by the doctor, the demon's remains were still worth devouring. Shade knew the purpose of this thing.
"Doctor, I don't know the demonic remains of the demons you devoured before..."
He asked again, and the doctor said regretfully:
"Are you useful? I didn't know I would meet you at the time, so you were consumed as material."
In addition to the demonic remains, the red box also contained a sugar cube-like crystal, a black pen and a ring.
"Be careful, try not to touch it directly with your hands."
Only the sugar cube-like crystal was not a relic, so Shade stretched out his hand to it, but was stopped by the doctor:
"Crystal of desire. You can understand it as semi-materialized desire, which is very similar to the soul crystal I helped you make last time, but it is very polluting."
Although he did not let Shade touch it directly, he picked up the crystal with his bare hands:
"This is a very useful spellcasting material, potion and alchemy material. The production of the 'Victor's Box' you mentioned is related to this."
The matter of the Victor Box has been reported to the church by Iluna, and they do not need to worry about the subsequent impact caused by the devil.
"Doctor, if you are useful, you can stay. I have no use for this."
Xia De suggested, but the doctor shook his head:
"With Fanny's power, I can also make desire crystals myself, so you can just take them. I recommend a few books to you. You can borrow them from the Black Raven Library or the college library. Desire Crystals There are many uses.”
He wrote down the titles of several books for Shade and put them in the red box.
As for the remaining two items, although their level is not high, they are both genuine relics.
The black pen is a clerical grade (level 4) relic [Etlaine's Pen]. Once the words written by this pen are read, the reader can have the illusion of "being there". But the negative characteristic is that once this pen is used to write down stories about those strange beings sleeping in subspace or seals, there is a certain chance that it will directly constitute a summoning ritual.
The devil uses this pen to write stories of desire and lure mortals into signing contracts. But in the hands of a good writer, it's a tool for building those beautiful stories.
On the black cap of the pen, runes as big as ants form a strange sentence:
[A good story should not be just words. 】
"Doctor, would you mind if I gave this pen to Dorothy?"
Xia De played with the relic and turned to ask the doctor who walked back to the bedside.
Although these items were given to Shade by the doctor, if the doctor suddenly found this pen in Dorothy's hand one day, it would be a little embarrassing, so Shade asked in advance.
"This is all yours, you can give it to whomever you want."
The doctor waved his hand, thinking secretly about Sha De's private life, and then remembered the day he was invited to enter the strange foggy area to call for souls on the third floor of Sha De's house in late autumn. There were two girls in Sha De's house who were with him. Spending the night together.
"Then I will give it to Dorothy as a year-end gift."
Xia De said with a smile.
The "Sushou Festival" is the last festival of the year. It is the most important festival for mortals in this era. This is somewhat similar to the Spring Festival and Christmas in the hometown of outsiders. They are both days when the year ends and you can finally have a good rest. People are accustomed to giving gifts and greeting cards to friends on this day, and outsiders naturally have to prepare for this.
"Speaking of the end of the year, you don't need to prepare my gift. Fannie is quite good as a gift."
The doctor suggested, but Shade would still prepare a gift.
As for the final ring, it is a green wooden ring with an emerald ring.
The doctor recognized [Etlaine's Pen] but not this one, so he asked Old John to help identify it.
This is a poet-level (level 5) relic [Epidemic Doctor Ring]. After wearing it, rotate the ring counterclockwise to activate the ring's properties, making the wearer immune to most diseases within a certain period of time. .
Not only common diseases such as plague, smallpox, and colds, but also diseases related to occultism such as blood thirst and undead plague can also be resisted to a certain extent. Demons naturally don't need this kind of ring. This relic was probably accidentally obtained by demons who wanted to increase their value. They wanted to keep it in their hands and trade with humans, but now it is cheaper for Sha De.
On the inside of the ring, there are long dented runes. Due to the light, it was impossible to see the characters clearly, so Shade rubbed the ring with her fingertips, and "she" told the meaning of those ancient runes:
[The struggle between disease and cleanliness is the tempering of nature. 】
————————Digression——————

The change between positive and negative is the beginning of a new life. [Metamorphosis Ring], gender change (?) but needs to speak.
