The Whispering Verses Chapter 1186: Mythril
Chapter 1186 Mithril
After reading the note, Shade blinked and muttered:
"What a fancy thing."
Then hold the silver cube:
"Collect stories to open it and get the so-called gift. The invisible abandoned church on Cherry Leaf Street."
The cube, which had not yet been warmed by the warmth of Shade's palm, immediately began to feel hot. Shade's palm was keenly aware of the concave and convex marks on one side of the cube. When he opened his palm and took a look, he saw densely packed letters appearing on one of the six sides.
"Wouldn't it be better to just leave me a note?"
The letters were so small that even if Shade looked closer, it would be difficult to make out complete sentences. Fortunately, there was "she". After Shade's fingertips rubbed against the metal block, "she" repeated the above sentence:
[Between Nos. 11 and 12 on Cherry Leaf Street, there is an abandoned church that cannot be observed in its normal state. The church belonged to the old **** "The Forgotten Old Man". After the **** left in the Fifth Era, the church was struggled to be supported by mortal believers and eventually completely collapsed. If you want to observe the church, it is very simple. Put the middle finger, index finger, ring finger and little finger of either hand together, look at the wall between No. 11 and No. 12 through the gap between the fingers, and pray softly - praising the departing gods. , the world is with you and me! 】
"That simple?"
Xia De thought to himself, and then tried his best to remember the old **** "Forgotten Old Man". But no matter how he recalled it, he seemed to have never heard of this god's name from any source.
Looking down at the silver cube in his hand, the small letters on the surface of the cube had disappeared, so Shade tried again:
"The only time key to [The Past and the Sixth Era]."
Seeing that Silver Cube did not respond, he changed his explanation:
"The key to mysterious events hidden in the Randall Valley."
Still no response.
"The time key to cycle through the Sixth Era."
Still no response,
"I knew it wasn't that simple. However, if this silver cube also records other secrets related to this city, even if there is nothing hidden in the silver cube, Mr. Thomas Granger is really... I left a great item, the key, isn’t it in here?”
The time has come to the afternoon, and Shade has no intention of staying here anymore. After all, Luvia will not arrive until tomorrow. After leaving the hotel, he quickly returned to Cherry Leaf Street and found a location between No. 11 and No. 12.
After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, he followed the instructions given on the silver cube, looked at the wall through the gaps between his fingers, and then prayed softly:
"Praise the departed gods, the world is with you and me."
The light appeared distorted, and then as if the space was expanded, the courtyard of the abandoned church forcefully "squeezed out" the gaps in the bricks of the wall and appeared in Cherry Leaf Street.
Shad looked at this scene in surprise, and while no one noticed, he used "Raglai's Jump" to directly enter the courtyard. Then I stood in the snowy yard and watched people coming and going outside:
"It's really interesting. There are no footprints on the snow, and there are no traces of anyone active inside the church. So will this unknown courtyard be mine from now on?"
When I came here just now, I just found my way out in the church. At this time, he took advantage of the time to explore this old church more carefully, and then he had to admit that except for construction waste, at least he could not find anything valuable here.
So he returned home through the hidden space in the church basement. Of course, he did not forget to take the books and gold coins in the box home, and the box was left here as a token.
When I walked out of the basement, I was a little confused when I didn't see the cheerful cat. Then I realized that little Mia had been taken away by Dorothy to take care of.
So that night, Shade had dinner with Dorothy on Silver Cross Avenue, and excitedly described to her what he had seen today. Compared with arriving in a new city before, this experience was particularly interesting, and Dorothy obviously thought so too:
"The old church that cannot be seen in the city? Yes, it is a very good subject. Just hearing the outline, I can think of a very interesting detective story!"
However, Miss Writer has never heard of the name of the old **** [Old Forgotten], but Lesia has found the way Shade tried to learn his singing ability:
"Since you hope to permanently gain the ability to sing, then excluding potions and alchemical items, only spells and thaumaturgy are left." In the article, only [Echo] can be associated with similar powers. ."
The blonde girl and Shade were sitting across from each other in the restaurant, which was a high-end restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue. Both of them were dressed formally, while Mia was obediently lying on a high stool. The light of the gas lamps in the restaurant was deliberately dimmed, but the light of the candlesticks on each table was very bright.
People are talking in low voices, and every table covered with white tablecloths is far apart. This is indeed a very suitable place for a date.
"Thumbs [The Sound of Music]."
Dorothy’s green eyes looked at Shade:
"This is not to let you learn to sing, but to let you record a piece of music yourself. Whether it is through an instrument such as a piano, a gramophone, or a real person singing, it can be recorded, and then Sing by yourself. Of course, the timbre will become your own voice, after all, the human voice cannot simulate the sound of a violin."
Xia De nodded, and waited until the waiter who brought the fried senbei with foie gras left, then said again:
"Sounds very good. After I go back tonight, I will go to the academy to apply. I will be rewarded with two new thaumaturgy techniques during the school year assessment. The academy can even directly provide the materials for the ceremony. But this thaumaturgy was originally What was it used for? Was it created and handed down just to record sounds?"
Simple alchemical items can do this.
"It is for the ring warlocks themselves to record the sounds of nature. The sound of wind, rain, and thunder. According to rumors, skilled ring warlocks who can contact nature will enter the mountains and forests alone to record the sounds of nature and nature with themselves. Use the music of the earth to receive enlightenment from the world. However, if you just want to record a song and let yourself sing it, this is enough. ”
Dorothy said, then pointed at little Mia with a smile:
"Your cat just has 'Give me something to eat' written on his face."
"This cat has been eating a lot since the New Year's Day. I've been thinking about putting it on a diet recently. Of course, I'm just thinking about it."
Shad said with a smile and touched the cat's little head. Mia also squinted her eyes and rubbed her head against Shad's palm.
Dorothy continued:
"There are still some problems with the learning materials for thaumaturgy. I know that the academy provides it to you for free, but this type of thaumaturgy requires the main ingredients of the potion [three purple echograss plants that are over thirty years old and have intact roots. ], Lecia said that the three major colleges are currently out of stock. Of course, it’s not that they can’t be found at all, but it takes time, but don’t you hope to use your time key again during the weekend? ”
"Where is it produced?"
"The town of Stardew Valley in Carsonrick and its surrounding areas. Yes, Randall Valley is also within the scope, which is where you are going now. Lesia also considered that you can go there before finding it. Got this magic trick."
Xia De nodded:
"I will go to the local black market to find it. If it doesn't work, I will find other methods. However, after this, I need to record a beautiful song. Do you know who has a beautiful singing voice?"
The writer coughed reservedly, then blinked and looked at Shade, who nodded suddenly:
"At that time, I will trouble you again."
The writer's face turned red, and then she said "hmm" softly.
(Little Mia is running.)
Early on Wednesday morning, Shade was not in a hurry to go to Randall Valley to meet Luvia who had arrived today. Instead, he went to Old John's **** shop first.
"Dad John, can you tell what this is?"
There were no customers in the **** shop early in the morning. Xia De exchanged greetings with the old man who was reading the newspaper, and then took out the silver cube.
Old John, wearing reading glasses, tilted his head from behind the counter and took a look at the metal block on the table:
"If it's not a relic, it's difficult for me to give specific results, but it's okay to identify the material."
As he said this, he put on his gloves and checked briefly, then he was amazed:
"What a waste. If you read correctly, the metal layer of this thing is a layer of mithril. And it is not ordinary mithril, it has been blessed by the priests of the gods. Moreover, there are other materials besides mithril. , let's take a look. About three hundred years ago, Sussex Medical School invented a new mithril alloy formula that can make the mithril material extremely flexible. If I guessed correctly, this is. A piece of metal, it should be able to change its shape, right?”
“It can reveal text and change its shape, I don’t know.”
Xia De said that he had also heard of the so-called "Mithril" in the basic courses and the knowledge of witches. Of course, the name "Mithril" was also translated by him. This is an extremely expensive material metal. It is more precious than the so-called "mithril" in the hometown stories that foreigners remember. It itself has extremely excellent impact resistance and top-level spiritual adaptability.
The price of mithril is immeasurable because it cannot be found on the black market. Even if college professors conduct experiments, they must apply strictly to the college to obtain this material.
Of course, Shade has also seen items made of mithril before, namely Sister Devlin's eyepatch. The eyepatch with dense patterns is a top magical item handed down from the ancient Death Cult. Although the power of the eyepatch has little to do with the material, it is enough to show the preciousness of "mithril".
Therefore, the value of the small silver cube in Shade's hand was even more exaggerated than he thought yesterday afternoon.
