Whispering Poems

Chapter 28 Remnants of the Old God
In a very safe situation, having obtained information that has nothing to do with him, Xia De, who was satisfied, planned to turn around and leave, and planned to tell Dr. Schneider what he had seen today.

But at this time, the woman's elegant murmur sounded in her ears again:

【You are in touch with 'Enlightenment'. 】

He stopped and frowned. The [Enlightenment] element is related to civilization, but the strong traces of thaumaturgy and incantation may also lead to its appearance, but here
Standing in the narrow space between the pipe and the wall, because this is a dead corner, there is no garbage, but more animal feces.

Shade carefully looked at the wall in front of him. The wall was almost covered with all kinds of dirty words and shapes representing privacy organs with chalk and paint. In addition, there were many strange marks he didn't want to imagine.

The only two spirit runes he had were not able to enhance his vision for the time being, but what really differentiated him from ordinary people was his ability to decipher almost all words.

Below the sentence of insulting the gods, above the position of Shade's waist, some strange patterns were caught by the young detective's eyes.He regarded it as words, and then he got the meaning and pronunciation of those words:
"appear."

The ancient language used a full six syllables to express such a simple meaning.

In the thin mist, a white light flashed in front of Shade.He stepped back, but still put himself in the gap between the pipe and the wall.

The curious cat was awakened by the white light, and the person holding it saw a dilapidated stone statue slowly rising from the ground.

Its base is square, and the statue is only half the height of Shad, a figure of a noble man with bat wings and a cape.

Shade closed his eyes, letting blood and tears spill from under his eyelids.He covered the cat's eyes, turned around quickly, and heard a murmur in his ear, it was a murmur of joy, reciting a story that had never been told:
[You came into contact with the remnants of the old god "Vampire Duke Laurel". 】

[The old gods born from the original filthy blood, thirst for blood, and are crazy because of blood.In the twilight of the old days, he developed his family with the curse of blood, blinded his soul by the curse of blood, and roared in the depths of the castle in the dark night. 】

[You listened to the story of the old god "Vampire Duke Lauer", and you learned about one of the miracles of the old god "Vampire Duke Lauer". 】

"Can you inscribe spiritual runes?"

After confirming only this information after a while, Xia De, who came out of surprise, asked in a voice full of anticipation, and the headache caused by the close contact with the statue of the old god was relieved.

Later, Xia De heard the woman's voice in his heart chuckling:

[You have obtained the spell, the echo of blood.You haven't acquired enough stories of this deity, outsider, miracles are not so easy to come by. 】

The murmuring voice in his heart fell silent, and the old god statue conveyed new power to Xia De.The life ring hidden behind the soul rotates, absorbing a little golden element, making the brass ring stained with gold particles, and condensing the spirit that belongs to the soul.

Shade's right eye suddenly turned blood red, and he gained the power to see the remaining bloodstains that were difficult to detect.

After fully understanding what was happening at the moment, instead of checking the power he had acquired, Shade first checked the cat he was holding in his arms.

Although the cat and Shade saw the whole process of the appearance of the statue of the old god, luckily, the cat's eyes were attracted by the scattered white light, so he did not observe the entire statue of the old god at the same time as Shade. appearance.Therefore, apart from being a little sluggish, Mia did not suffer the same mental shock as Xia De.

And the power that Xia De obtained, to put it simply, his right eye can now see the imperceptible bloodstains remaining in the air and the surface of objects when the spell is actively activated.

This kind of ability can also be achieved in Shade's world through some technological means.But when he used the spell, he didn't need an instrument, he just needed to open his eyes, and as long as the blood remained, no matter how weak it was, he could see it.

Although this is not a powerful ability, it unexpectedly matches Shard's detective career very well.

Shade had never heard the name of the old god "Vampire Duke Laurel". In fact, he had never heard of any old god except the "Father of the Infinite Tree".

The story of this old god makes him not sound like a good god.This judgment was completely correct, so after obtaining the spell and story, the voice in his head also reminded Xia De that he was touching the silver element [blasphemy], which is an element that only evil gods have.

But I don't know if he himself didn't have a deep perception of the old god's [blasphemy], or the power of this stone statue with a pedestal was more inclined to [miracle], Xia De did not gain anything from [blasphemy].

But the harvest of incantation is also very good. Thaumaturgy needs to have corresponding spiritual runes to use, and incantation does not need to pass spiritual runes. It is a general mysticism ability for ring warlocks.Because it is "universal", the effect of spells is often not as good as that of thaumaturgy, but in fact, some spells also have usage restrictions.

From the doctor's notes, the spells obtained by contacting the remnants of the old gods cannot usually be learned by other means.

Therefore, Xia De came to a rare spell for nothing, but unfortunately the effect is not very obvious.

Now that the benefits have been obtained, the next step is of course to leave immediately.

Shade couldn't take this Old God statue away, and he didn't even dare to touch it directly with his skin.The existence of the stone statue is obviously related to Mrs. La Soya, and the statue of the old god cannot exist naturally in the city, it must be the other party who brought it to this alley to hide.

Bringing the Evil God statue into the city like this is a serious illegal act, so Shade finally judged that Mrs. La Soya is not a good person.

So he read the six syllables of the ancient text that meant "appearance" in reverse order, so that the statue of the evil god slowly entered the ground again.

Only then did he cautiously slip out of the alley, and without even thinking about saving money, he boarded the carriage at the next intersection, took the cat without any hesitation, and set off towards Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic in the eastern district of Tobesque.

But unfortunately, Dr. Bill Schneider was not in the clinic.

People in the clinic also knew Shard, who was invited by the doctor yesterday, so Dr. Clay, who was in charge of receiving him, informed Dr. Schneider where he was going.

The wife and daughter of an unnamed earl in the city recently developed bulimia.Earl's personal doctor believed that this was a psychological problem, so he specially invited Dr. Schneider to diagnose and treat.Dr. Schneider will spend the night at the Earl's manor outside the city, and at least he won't be back today.

As for the manor's address and the earl's surname, in order to protect the privacy of the patients, Shade cannot be told.

"But Mr. Hamilton, you can leave a note for Bill and he'll see it when he gets back."

Dr. Clay said very kindly, but refused to reveal the location of the Earl's Manor.
