Whispering Poems

Chapter 614 "Eating People"

"Ms. Cassandra is in charge? If Fort Midhill is really that dangerous, wouldn't it be too dangerous for Ms. Cassandra to stay there alone? After all, she only has ten rings."

Xia De couldn't help asking, and Miss Galina shook her head:

"But she has a good teacher."

Sister Devlin also said this sentence, and the nun also said that Granny Cassandra's teacher is not a witch.

"Ms. Cassandra's teacher, what ring is it?"

"I don't know, but the other party is not a witch. You probably also know that the power of the parliament is passed on, following the ancient apprenticeship system. Each of us has our own training objects, that is, apprentices."

Teachers train apprentices and provide free accommodation, but correspondingly, apprentices should also undertake corresponding obligations during their studies and after leaving the teacher. This is a very old tradition.

"Grandma Cassandra's corresponding seat is 'dark', but the previous generation of 'dark' witches and apprentices died in a terrible accident at the same time. At that time, Granny Cassandra was just an ordinary student next to the witches of the previous generation , somewhat similar to my other followers. She is a good friend of the Dark Witch of the previous generation, and the teacher of Granny Cassandra, who recommended her to the Speaker of the Parliament of the previous generation, and personally taught her the knowledge of ring magicians. That respectable lady, I also know some of the power of a witch."

"So Granny Cassandra's teacher is older than Granny Cassandra? Oh, is the other party still alive? How many rings?"

"It is indeed alive, and it is very strong. The speaker himself said that it is very strong."

Miss Galina cautiously commented:
"I was in Fort Midhill, and I was lucky enough to meet that lady. She looked very young, probably younger than Tifa. And the other person looked very weird, and her mental state was not at all like An elderly person like my mother-in-law looks like a young man of the same age as her appearance. But in short, with the teacher of the mother-in-law Cassandra in Fort Midhill, the mother-in-law can handle most of the troubles. If you really can’t handle it , the council will consider sending other great witches to help her."

"That's good."

Xia De said, and then looked at the morning glow outside the window.At present, the situation in Fort Midhill is still unclear. Regarding the matter of the third candidate, Luvia still needs to conduct divination and investigation before he can take targeted actions.

Therefore, after rescuing the priest, he has no urgent matters in his hands for the time being, and life seems to have returned to peace for a while.

"However, Priest Augustus and Sister Devlin may be the chosen ones. Who will it be? Or are they just secondary candidates, and the real chosen ones haven't appeared yet."

[You should still have something to do. 】

"She" reminded her softly, and Miss Galina called Shade to change into formal clothes, and then went to have breakfast with her.The Duchess made a reservation at a high-end restaurant in the private club in the east of the city. There was a new Kasenrick chef with excellent skills, and Xia De seemed to have not tasted Kasenrick's special breakfast yet.

"Yes, I want to play a few games with the Rhodes players in Fort Midhill, maybe I can get some interesting special cards."

Choosing clothes in front of the closet, Xia De joked in his heart.

Tifa also walked into the bedroom and told Shad to move away from the closet, apparently to help Shad choose clothes.There are several very good suits in Shade's closet. Among them, only the one with missing sleeves is left by the former detective, and the rest are gifts from others.

"In addition to playing cards, there are indeed things to do, the sword of the witcher, and the pistol returned to the corporal from the army on the Windy Pass."

Miss Galina's voice came from the living room at this moment, and she asked Tifa to help Shad choose a better tie by the way.

"However, these two things are not important, and it can be done at any time."

【is that so? 】

"She" chuckled.

Shad looked at the bedroom window:

"According to the game in my hometown, these two things are branch lines in the river. It's better to finish it, and it doesn't matter if it's not done. Therefore, the most important thing for me in Fort Midhill is actually to let August Reverend Sis invited me to dinner at the best restaurant in town."

He still hasn't forgotten about it.

After breakfast, the witch did not leave Shad's house, but was going to teach Iluna a lesson at his house. The 17-year-old girl has officially started to learn the power of balance from the witch. Although she is reluctant in her heart, at least she respects Miss Galina in her attitude.Both of them missed a class last weekend, but the young outlander couldn't figure out why they had to have a class at Shade's place this Monday.

However, instead of auditing courses that meant little to him, he sorted out what he had learned.

This half-week-long "Augus Priest Rescue Operation" did not bring any benefits to Shad. There will be a negative effect of being unlucky once, but also, he also obtained the first spirit rune of the third ring, whispering [true death].

This spirit rune is currently associated with the thaumaturgy [Death's Gate], but this thaumaturgy is completely useless to Xia De, and he can't think of any reason why he will enter the land of death again.

Therefore, he planned to learn another thaumaturgy related to it.But what exactly to learn, Shad decided to decide when he went to see the priest at Fort Midhill on Tuesday.

What he was really worried about was actually the spell [Blood Wine Brewing] that he got from the second reception because he heard ten stories about the evil god brewing blood wine.

The effect of this spell is not complicated. Using a bottle with a cork that once contained any alcohol as the casting material, any completely unconscious creature can be turned into blood and sucked into the bottle.This process is not completed in an instant, but requires a long wait.

Spells are useless to those who are far stronger than the caster. When the spell can take effect, the stronger the opponent is, the longer the blood brewing time will be, and the cycle may reach several years.During the process, the subject must remain in the deepest coma, and bury the opening of the wine bottle in the opponent's body.However, once the unconscious person regains consciousness, the brewed blood brew will become invalid, and the subject cannot be selected again.

When the spell ends, the clothes are left in place, and the flesh and soul are brewed into blood wine.

And drinking this blood wine can heal one's own injuries, strengthen one's body and soul quality, and obtain part of the memory and power of the drinkee, and even spirit runes.

Spells are also useful for corpses, because the soul is only flesh and blood, so although the casting speed is greatly improved, the effect is only to heal and strengthen one's physical quality.

In addition to animals with souls, spells also have effects on plants without souls.But using this ability on plants like apples and grapes is basically equivalent to making wine.Wine made from ordinary plants without a soul can hardly be called "blood brewing", but can only be regarded as a fairly good quality plant wine or fruit wine.

To put it simply, the essence of this spell is a more elegant method of "cannibalism", and it is an extremely rare ability in the Sixth Epoch that can confine the soul.

Without moral judgment, the effect of this spell is almost omnipotent, more powerful than any spell or even most thaumaturgy that Shad has mastered.But the problem is that it is impossible for any intelligent creature to "eat" its own kind without psychological barriers when it is mentally normal.

Why the evil god gave Xia De this ability, the outsider is not very clear, but he knows very well that the other party must expect him to use this power, and then get lost in it.

Perhaps, the evil god will show up when Xia De is completely insane, and then use the same method to brew Xia De, a special individual, into blood brew.

Of course, the above is purely speculation, and it is also possible that the other party just wants to have some fun, watching Xia De repeatedly entangled between morality and power.

But when the outsider first came to this world and first came into contact with the mystery, he had a conversation with Dr. Schneider on related topics.Although he longs for power, he also has his own principles, so even if he has the spell of [Blood Wine Brewing], he is determined to use this spell in his lifetime, but he will never drink anyone who has it. Blood brew made by the intelligent life of the soul.

He has no interest in "cannibalism".

Even if the opponent is a villain like Ivan Darkness, Xia De will not brew the opponent into blood wine and drink it.And in order to help himself remember the oath at this time, Xia De even asked the "she" in his heart to help remember this, and then reminded him at any time when Xia De might "eat people" for power.

[I will not interfere with your choice. 】

This was the response "she" gave when having dinner with Miss Galina.And Iluna has already gone back. Her companion was injured while storing the relics, so she has to take on the job of the Blackstone Security Company recently.

Exotic dishes were served one by one, and Xia De and the Duchess sat opposite each other.Now serving the dessert before dinner, the dessert called "Roasted Wind Mushroom", Xia De and Mia like it very much.This is a specialty of Carson Rico, a baked food that looks like a windmill mushroom, smeared with a sweet bean sauce, and served on a plate with mushrooms and fruits.

A mushroom is about the size of Mia's cat's head, and it doesn't taste like a normal mushroom, but like a mushroom-like melon.

"I didn't let you interfere with me, just remind me."

Xia De thought absently:

"How about as if you are watching over me? Always behind me, but you can't be seen by me, but at the same time guarding my heart, making sure I don't go on the wrong path, although what is wrong and what is right is very different. It sounds hard to say, but it seems like a very good novel material, which can be used as a reference for Dorothy, such as the criminal motives of dual-personality psychopaths."
