The Whispering Verses Chapter 164: Infernal Remains
"It's not what we're looking for, we won't take it away, you can guarantee that."
"No need to guarantee, I believe you. Judging from the four questions just now, you are the most upright person I have ever met... Are you really not the holy son of a fallen old god? ”
Miss Bayas asked with a smile, but she also knew it was impossible.
Xia De shook his head:
"Since you trust me so much, then we will share this thing equally."
Xia De controlled his cat firmly, and then carefully placed the withered yellow finger bones that he had been holding on to the table:
"You stopped the person who was using the relic. I found this relic, so we divided it equally. Now tell me, what kind of relic is this? It really has the property of making people immortal. ?"
Shad let out a long breath, and the cat's tail touched his chin:
"I'm curious."
"Yes, I am fully aware of the characteristics of this relic. After all, I have been in conflict with the tomb robber Hawthorne for a long time. That happened when I was training in the Holy See. I went out to see the world with a small team. , and then..."
She paused and showed a lonely smile:
“I met the grave robber Hawthorne and the silver-eyed man, but I was the only one who survived, whether it was the captain who took good care of me, or the funny old gentleman who liked to tell jokes during the operation... Detective, today you have taken revenge, half of it."
This is the first time that Shade knows why she is so obsessed with the silver-eyed man:
"Next, I have to dig out the eyes of the silver-eyed person with my own hands to settle this matter... Let me not talk about this, let me introduce this [relic], a secret-keeper-level relic. [Yin corpse remains] As for immortality, it can indeed achieve a certain degree of immortality."
She held her chin and said in a mocking tone.
"Are there any side effects?"
"The side effects are quite serious. Under the full red moon, I inserted this phalanx into my heart to kill myself. Then, the body was buried in the cemetery. After being resurrected for 24 hours, I had almost immortality. The body does not age, has no fatal points, and is extremely difficult to kill unless it is burned to ashes. But from now on, the user must ensure that the [Inferi Remains] cannot leave their surroundings and cannot be touched by anyone. Otherwise, the immortality characteristic will disappear, and one's own strength will decline rapidly until the [Infernal Bones] are recovered."
This is why Miss Bayas almost immediately won after Shade got the finger bone.
"Those who have gained immortality through [Inferi Remains] will have bodies that are almost the same as corpses, but will not decay. All emotions will gradually disappear without any physiological reactions including eating. According to my church book According to the information found in the library, once the immortality is obtained through the ritual I mentioned, the undead will become more and more like a living corpse within 10 years, until the soul and mind are completely wiped out, and the process is irreversible. If you lose the relic, you will only lose your immortality, and the progress of corpse transformation will not change."
"Oh, that sounds terrible."
Xia De commented dryly, he knew that "immortality" was not so easy to achieve.
Holding his cat, he moved away from the bones on the table. But now that I know its characteristics and understand that the carvings on it are not triggering spells, I try to decipher the meaning of those strange words——
【Those who fear death will eventually become a part of death. 】
Although the side effects of this phalanx are powerful, the positive effect of giving the user a certain degree of "immortality" is equally powerful. It is indeed a rare keeper-level [relic]. The relics of the same dangerous level that Shade has seen and heard of are the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], [Rebirth Ring], [Fake Philosopher's Stone] and the dismantled [Puppet Operator's Script] ], almost none of these things are simple.
The [Gear of Kindness] held by Shade was restrained by the immortal relic. He thought it would take a long time for him to encounter something similar.
But neither he nor Miss Bayas had the idea of using [Inferi Remains]. One of them is an academy ring warlock who has been specially trained, and the other is a young sorceress with great potential in the Church of the Righteous God. They both have bright futures. , there is no need to use such dangerous relics to gain power.
So, the two people's final opinion was to sell it. They were both short of money.
"I was transferred to this parish just a few months ago and am not familiar with the local black market. Detective, you can handle it. After selling it, remember that half of the money is mine. Don't worry about the stolen goods. The gravedigger has it." The church can’t trace the stuff, and no one knows where he dug it out.”
"You just trust me so much? Aren't you worried about me running away with the money? It's still because of the four questions just now."
Shad asked, then heard the cat in his arms yawn. Mia noticed Shade looking at it, so she buried her head in her belly, and the cat shrank into a ball.
"I said, I trust you. Since I trust you, there will be no doubt. I have a unique talent and can know the balance of good and evil in a person, which leads to me having very few friends."
The young girl said, sighed, and looked at Shade’s cat:
"Detective, since we want to continue to cooperate, I must remind you that you must be careful in the recent period. You are still only a first-level warlock, and this world is very dangerous for you."
This is not the first time that Shade has heard similar words.
"I won't say much about the recent incident at Lakeview Manor. The more secretive thing is that last night, at about this time, the evil **** stared at the city, and then the unknown high-level warlock directly A mystery that has been described as almost a 'miracle' has unfolded in the city... Detective Hamilton, I have few friends, so you must be careful."
Shad didn't know how to respond to this. He didn't plan to tell Miss Bayas for the time being that those things were related to him, but wanted to wait until Miss Anat had gained complete trust.
"I will be careful."
"Detective, I really envy your life, leisure, security, freedom..."
Miss Bayas looked at the lazy orange cat and murmured to herself, "Everyone has their own troubles." Shade looked at the tired girl in front of him and had a deeper understanding of this sentence.
"Speaking of which, how old are you this year?"
The stranger suddenly asked, and Miss Bayas was stunned:
"Seventeen years old, what's wrong?"
Only young girls can tell their age without caring.
"Nothing."
He felt even more pity for her.
The voice in my ears chuckled, seeming to agree, but also seeming to be mocking. The chosen one is entangled with infinite destiny. At this moment, Iluna Bayas is in front of Shade. Shade looks at her and is really glad that he is just an "audience".
