Part 5 Red Priestess Chapter 131 Four Choices
What kind of holy sealing object do I want to pick? Derek Burger subconsciously examined his own needs.
Due to the fact that the “Sun” pathway has a certain degree of restraint against those monsters in the darkness, and that he himself possesses the “Thunder God’s Roar”, he does not have such a great thirst for attacking and assisting seals, and the experience of being beaten up to the point that his body was in pain when he made friends has made him subconsciously wish for a magical item that can provide a strong defense. He subconsciously wished to obtain a magical item that could provide a stronger defense.
In a flash of thought, Derek suddenly came to his senses and realized that the essence of the question was not about what holy seal he wanted, but about which holy seal he could use to exchange for the Creator’s Cross from Mr. “Fool”.
He hesitated and asked frankly:
”What do you suggest, His Excellency the Chief?”
Colin glanced at him, left his original position, walked slowly to the window, and turned back to his body:
”There are four seals that are relatively suitable for you.
”The first is called the ‘Sword of Sunsilver,’ and it was left behind after the death of an Elder thirteen hundred years ago.
”Holding this straight sword hides one’s malice and certain behaviors, effectively interferes with divination and prophecy, and gains exaggerated power to bring a dawn against evil and depravity to the surrounding area.
”It is also capable of raising storms of highly destructive light, creating an invisible and solid wall of defense around the bearer, and whenever it connects with the earth, the guardianship will be untouchable.
”At the top of its hilt is a one-eyed, giant-mouthed statue of a human head with living characteristics; feeding the corresponding herbs, oils, and potions to this statue will cause the ‘Sword of Sunsilver’ to produce different effects, such as lightning strikes, freezes, purification, burns, decay, and exorcisms.
”This sword has strict conditions for use, with a height of less than 180 centimeters, it is impossible to pick it up, and less than 200 centimeters, it is difficult to bring its full power into play, in addition, the one-eyed, giant-mouthed human head statue at the top of the hilt is very fond of talking, and it always drones on and on, so if the holder doesn’t respond to it, perhaps at some crucial moment, the ‘Sword of Sunrise Silver’ Sword of Silver’ will suddenly give up its resistance and even attack its master, if the holder is willing to talk to that human head statue, he will be teetering on the edge of madness.”
This is what I want, a seal that excels in defense …… Derek muttered to himself in his mind, not opening his mouth to interrupt the chief’s narration, and quietly listened to him as he continued to introduce the seals:
”The second one is the ‘Dusk Mask’, this comes from the previous Chief, it is a mask made of skulls, it can conceal malice, thoughts, and behavioral tendencies, allowing the wearer to be like the dead without thoughts.
”As long as one wears this mask, he or she will have the power of a true giant and the right to rule over the undead, and any living being that meets the wearer’s eyes will die outright, even if they possess divinity, they will still suffer a severe wound, and even if there is no visual contact, the target that is included in the eyes of the wearer will slowly wither away as if he or she is fording the river of death, inch by inch.
”The wearer of this mask is also capable of creating a terrible ‘twilight storm,’ where anything tainted with that dull glow will decay, rot, wither, die, and lose its freshness.
”Most attacks outside of purification are ineffective against the wearer of the ‘Dusk Mask’, as no one can kill an already dead person.
”This ‘Dusk Mask’ is very powerful, but it is also extremely dangerous; even if it does nothing but sit there, people around it will die one after another, unprovoked and suddenly, so there must be a proper way to seal it… …
”No matter who wears this mask, the shrill whistling and hissing that seems to come from the depths of the underworld will echo in their ears non-stop, this is a spiritual attack that is enough to make people go crazy and lose their minds, at the same time, as long as one wears this mask for more than five minutes, he or she will become a slave to it in a way that can’t be reversed.”
This seal is almost impossible to use, although powerful, it can only seal …… uh …… only a great being like Mr. “Fool” can ignore its negative effects! …… Derek opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Colin Iliad recalled the information and continued:
”The third piece is called the ‘Cane of Life’, it can drive less intelligent transcendent creatures and reduce their level of madness for a short period of time, it can use mutilated spirits and various materials to complete the ultimate ‘life refining’, which can create It can create ordinary humans that can exist for a long time, and it can also create different kinds of dolls that can be used for fighting and all kinds of affairs, including stone demonic statues, earth demonic statues, and steel demonic statues.
”Any being that has been whipped by this cane will have an increased tendency to madness and loss of control, and there is a certain probability that the body will mutate and grow things such as watermelons, mushrooms, wheat, etc., which are of course inedible and will cause contamination.
”And beings touched by the cane, no matter how severe their injuries, can be healed, except those who have begun to lose control.
”This cane will fill the surrounding area with life, both plants, and animals, will flourish and multiply quickly, unfortunately, it will not work on our cursed earth.
”Those who carry the ‘Cane of Life’ have a not-so-small probability of their bodies mutating, and the longer they hold it, the higher the probability, which will result in a few extra organs, or a fewer upper portions, being replaced by various plants.”
Sounds very evil …… Derek inexplicably produced some fear, finally could not hold back, opened his mouth and asked:
”What is the fourth sealing object?”
”It came from an out-of-control demon I hunted, and I call it the ‘Fallen Flute.
”It’s an ordinary-looking silver flute, but once anyone blows it, the beings around them will fall into an inevitable ecstasy, and their emotions and desires such as anger, sadness, pain, greed, vanity, arrogance, and melancholy will soar as a result, either detonating the mind, destroying reason, or bringing about a loss of control.
”In the vicinity of this ‘Fallen Flute’, the thinking ability of all living beings, except for the holder, will be significantly reduced, and they will be prone to making mistakes.
”At the same time, the holder of the flute will be extraordinarily keen to danger, and in some cases will even be able to foresee things that could threaten his or her life one to two days in advance.
”Where this ‘Fallen Flute’ is located, the human heart will gradually degenerate, with all kinds of desires taking over the mainstream, beliefs being cast aside, and the holder becoming a little bit colder, no longer able to find normal emotions, and the more often it is used and the longer it is carried, the deeper the degree will become, and this is likely to be in contradiction with its own pathway or play contradictory accordingly, leading to an increased risk of losing control.”
After speaking of the fourth seal, Colin Iliad’s light blue eyes, which seemed to have stories written all over them, turned to look at Derek and said:
”What do you have in mind?”
”…… I need some time to think.” Derek had answered rather skillfully.
”Indeed, it’s a very important matter for you to not make a reckless decision.” Colin nodded gently, “In three days, we will set out for the afternoon town camp, you will give me your answer before then and allow time to familiarize yourself with the seal.
”Yes, Your Chief Excellency.” Derek saluted seriously and exited the room where the Chief was.
He was in no hurry to go home and pray to Mr. “Fool”, but planned to go to the training ground first, to refine his various “Sun” domain divine arts.
–This is a habit engraved deep in the blood of every person in Silver City, only those who are self-disciplined and hardworking can survive longer in the barren and dark earth.
……
Inside a dark alleyway, in the area of the Beckland Bridge, Hugh once again met the man who wore gold.
Hugh once again met the MI9 officer who wore a golden mask and held obvious goodwill towards himself.
”The ‘Judge’ magic potion formula might have to wait for a while.” That golden masked man took the initiative to say.
This was because the investigation of Hugh had not been declared over even though it had not been continued.
Hugh pursed his lips, nodded, and said as if he had finally made up his mind:
”I don’t want that formula anymore.”
”You, give it up?” The golden masked man was quite surprised and could hardly hide his joy as he asked.
Hugh didn’t answer directly, looked sideways at the side road:
”I… Let’s exchange all the merits I’ve accumulated for gold pounds.”
After hearing her answer, the golden masked man nodded in relief and said:
”It’s the best thing for you to be able to think about it.
”Let bygones be bygones, you and your mother and brother will have a brand new, bright future.
”Well, the merits you’ve accumulated would be about 2000 pounds if you converted them into gold pounds, I’ll help you to get a little more, after that, you can continue to be our MI9 peripheral, having an official identity is useful for wild extraordinarys.”
Hugh was silent for a few seconds, his lips opening and closing for a while as he said:
”Thanks.”
She could clearly feel the kindness of the one in front of her, so the thanks she just said came from her heart.
However, she would not give up, the reason why she chose the gold pounds was because she had already reserved the “Judge” magic potion formula from the “world” Germaine Sparrow – this crazy adventurer! The mad adventurer also claimed to have a successor to the “Knight of Discipline” potion.
At the same time, the appearance of abandonment would help Hugh to effectively dispel the suspicions of MI9.
After briefly explaining the progress of his previous commissions, Hugh said goodbye to the man in the golden mask and left the alley.
……
Early Tuesday morning, Forsyth once again left the house early and went to the Hat Trick Inn in the Chorwood district to meet his teacher, Dorian Gray.
”Here’s the Spiritual Quest notes, and here’s a portrait of Buttis.” Dorian reached over his mouth and yawned before handing Voorhees the thick stack of papers.
Folth didn’t rush to read the information and directed his gaze to the portrait:
On it was a black-robed man who should be less than 40 years old, with slightly curly brown hair that gave him an unusually hard look, and dark eyes that were so deep that they seemed to harbor countless things.
This is the “secret saint”…… Forsyth fingers rubbed, using the “master juggler” ability to burn the portrait.
”Not bad, very discreet.” Dorian nodded rather approvingly.
He then picked up his suitcase and said to Voorhees:
”I have to go back to Port Pritz, coming to Birkeland for too long will draw suspicion.”
Foerth knew that the situation in Birkeland was tense lately, and hated to see her teacher leave, so she did not stay and watched the other party walk out of the room.
Then, with the help of the “open door”, she made her way to the alley behind the inn.
She had just gotten her bearings and turned into a street when she suddenly saw a man in a black trench coat approaching.
The man took one look at her and averted his gaze naturally, while the muscles in Voorhees’ back tightened abruptly.
The other person was already reflected in her eyes:
Not quite forty, with slightly curly brown hair that seemed unusually hard, and dark eyes so deep that they seemed to harbor uncountable things.
