The Whispering Verses Chapter 1195: Holy Grail of Clay
Chapter 1195 Clay Holy Grail
Xia De held the scattered soil in his palms and said softly while using the spell:
"May the earth be with you and me."
The hands parted, and the soil fell from the hands, but it did not fall into the snow in the cold wind.
They spontaneously gathered in the air, and then converged into a small clay cup. The cup base at the bottom is round, and the slender cup shank is used by four standing people to raise their hands toward the center, while the cup belly has a diameter that is almost the same as the cup bottom.
Cups of this shape are often used in occultism for sacrifices and rituals, and most of the so-called "Holy Grails" are also of this shape.
The "Holy Grail" made of soil was facing upwards. As Shade cast the spell, the cup gradually fell until it finally entered the snow layer and entered the soil. Only ring magicians with high perception can observe that a fountain-like earth-yellow spiritual energy spurts out from the place where the cup fell, covering the ground of the entire manor in just a few breaths.
"Oh!"
During this period, Shade continued to cast spells. Just like the information he got when he obtained the spell last night, the spirit was consumed very quickly. Even with the exception of Mystic Lock, most of Shade's spells and thaumaturgy have never consumed so much spirit at once. But fortunately, his spirit recovery speed is extremely fast, and the upper limit of his spirit seems to be different from that of a normal five-ring warlock.
He even suspected that if it were not him, any other magician would need to use this spell several times to completely purify the manor. This cycle may be quite long. From this point of view, it makes sense for the man in "The Emerald Dream" to think that Shade is very suitable for this kind of power.
In short, as the khaki aura that cannot be captured by the naked eye escapes, the strangeness of the land gradually disappears. Even Shade and Miss Grande, who are standing on this land, feel a sense of physical relaxation.
The courtyard was originally silent, but now it was a little more alive. Even the dark color of the evil spirit locked up by Miss Grande is gradually fading away, which represents the dissolution of resentment.
"Death's Door!"
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Sha De waved his hand again and drew dark cracks in the air. This time, Shade did not take action. The soul, which gradually returned to normal, took the initiative to bow slightly to Shade after Miss Grande untied the restraints, and then walked towards the dark crack.
"Please wait a moment, what is happening here?"
Miss Grand asked, but the soul did not turn around and continued to walk behind the crack, but the voice appeared in their ears at the same time:
"This land is crazy."
The soul disappears on that shoal, and the cracks close in the sunlight.
"Crazy?"
Miss Grande was puzzled, and Shade once again thought of Miss Norma. Although the two manifestations were different, it seemed that the root cause was indeed the same accident.
[Watch your steps. 】
"What?"
Lowering his head and frowning slightly, he clearly felt that although the spell "Power of the Earth - Healing Spiritual Energy" had come to an end, the consumption of his spirit was still staggering. After waiting for a while, after the weird feeling around him almost completely disappeared, the clay Holy Grail made by casting a spell actually resurfaced from the earth.
Shad thought this was just a process of casting a spell, but he didn't expect that the cup actually survived.
He tried to reach out and pick up the cup. There was still nothing inside, but the cup itself was stained with miraculous elements.
This is an incredible thing. Even if it absorbs the pollution of the land and is therefore contaminated with profane elements or whispering elements, Shade will not be surprised at all. But this matter does not seem to involve gods from beginning to end.
"I knew that the man in the dream was not telling the truth. The pollution of the land in the Randall Valley was definitely not a simple matter"
He thought about playing with the small clay Holy Grail, and then discovered that there were small runes on the cup, and the runes meant "purified water".
"Mr. Watson, do you know what is going on?"
Although Miss Grande also saw the clay Holy Grail, she only thought it was Shade's spellcasting characteristic, so she didn't pay attention to it. She confirmed that the place was back to normal, but wasn't sure what was going on here.
"I'm not sure either."
Shad frowned and put the small cup into his pocket. Although it had miraculous elements, it could only be regarded as some special magical item, so it could be turned into a toy, but it would consume more energy.
After hesitating, he took out a small pink bottle in front of Miss Grande, took a sip of the strange-smelling essence, and then looked around:
"The land in Randall Valley City seems to be different from other places. Miss Grande, I am just a stranger here for the first time. You should know more about this place than me. Is this the first time this kind of thing has happened? ?"
The sorceress felt herself blushing inexplicably, and she shook her head slightly:
"Since local records appeared in the Sixth Age, 'abnormal' phenomena in the land have often appeared in the Randall Valley area. Some undead gather like here, and some have the entire land petrified, or there are The black fog that cannot be dispelled will always appear once or twice every ten years. Although the manifestations are different, they are all classified into the same category."
From this point of view, the incident in Tobesk was indeed the same type of accident, both related to "Crazy Land".
"The divine rituals of the Church of the Sun are very effective in dealing with this phenomenon. In the past, it was handled by the church, but I don't want the church to come to this manor."
"Is this kind of thing only happening in the Randall Valley area?"
Xia De confirmed again.
"At least I haven't heard of similar incidents elsewhere."
Miss Grande nodded and looked around to make sure there was nothing else to deal with here:
"Well, Mr. Watson, I have completed this commission very well. The commission fee is 5 crowns, and I can give it to you now. However, those echograsses still need to be prepared. I don't know what you will do this afternoon. Do you have time? ”
"Always available."
The two of them walked towards the fence gate at the courtyard exit:
"So, let's meet again at the pub this afternoon?"
Shad asked, thinking that after returning home today, he would go to the abandoned manor on the eastern outskirts of Tobesk to take a look. Maybe his spell would also be effective there.
"If you have time at any time."
Miss Grande took out her pocket watch and took a look. It was already eleven o'clock at noon:
"At three o'clock this afternoon, you go to the Wilde Opera House and take this ticket to the second box on the left side of the third floor. I do a small business at the Wilde Opera House and usually hand over goods there."
The "Wilde Opera House" is the largest opera house in Randall Valley City. If nothing unexpected happens, Margaret should be there to watch the opera when she comes to this city.
"No problem."
Shad took the ticket, walked out of the courtyard with Miss Grand, and watched the lady relock the gate of the manor.
"Miss Grande, do you know anyone from the Golden Dawn Opera Company?"
Xia De suddenly asked from behind the young sorceress. The latter nodded and turned to look at him:
"Why, are you interested in my true identity?"
"No, no, no."
Xia De shook his head slightly:
"Since you know someone from the opera troupe, can you give me a dagger? It is a dagger commonly used in operas that can be retracted when stabbing people. I need it urgently, so it is best to give it to me as soon as possible."
"No problem, this is a very common prop."
Miss Grand nodded slightly. She took a fancy to Shade's ability and felt that this ring warlock from a foreign country could be a little win over, so she didn't mind being known about his general identity. However, she is only the deputy leader of the Golden Dawn. And the real leader really doesn't like men.
The carriage carried them back to the city. Shade got off at the intersection where the Prophets Association and the City Hall were located. After waiting for a while, another carriage came and brought him the "telescopic dagger".
Shade was very satisfied with the experiment, and then went to the Prophet's Association to wait for Luvia to get off work.
Lunch was eaten at a nearby restaurant. Shade and Luvia briefly talked about their dreams last night and the commission they were handling this morning, and explained their thoughts on this matter related to the chosen one. guess.
Luvia frowned slightly as she listened to his story, and waited until Shade finished speaking before nodding:
"It does sound like it is not a simple matter. Although there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the chosen one, since we have encountered it, it would be good to do a little investigation. I will also investigate the local files from the Prophet Association. The association There should be records of similar incidents in the past.”
"That's good, oh, one more thing."
Shad looked around and didn't pay attention to his side, so he took out the prop "telescopic dagger" and handed it to Luvia:
"Please poke me, once in the chest and once in the abdomen."
Xia De pointed to the specific location, and the purple-eyed girl smiled and asked:
"What's wrong with you? Is it related to the nightmare you just vague about? Are you worried that it was a precognitive dream? It seems that you are definitely not just riding Mia on the 'Thirteen Rings' in your dream. A circle."
"The cat with 'Thirteen Rings'? That's a good joke. But I'm not afraid of predicting dreams"
He stood up slightly and let Luvia stab him twice with the dagger before showing a satisfied expression:
"Although I fear fate, I have to create the future by myself."
Luvia handed him the dagger:
"Okay, let's get down to business. What is the Clay Holy Grail? Spells to create water, food and even buildings are not uncommon, but the 'Coil Holy Grail' you made should not be simple. Right? Does it have any effect?"
"Maybe you can try it."
Xia De said softly and looked around again. The waiter had no intention of coming over. The old man at the next table far away was focused on reading the newspaper in his hand.
Restore the clay holy grail and put it on the table, then pour a spoonful of hot fish soup into the cup:
"How was it?"
Luvia asked.
"Just as I thought, it turned into clear water."
Xia De said, handing over the clay cup. Luvia did an experiment with red wine, and sure enough she found that the red wine turned into water when it entered the cup.
