quicksilver blood

Chapter 41 Divination of Viscera
Just thinking that this undead priest is the priest of Kelanwo, who may know some information about the long-sleeping tutor, Roland ignored more important things.

That's right, as early as Roland discovered that the outsider was an undead, he should have noticed——

You know, Farina was just an ordinary druid before she became the death crow.

Even if her surname is Luvine and she is good at making various poisons, it is absolutely impossible for her to completely kill an undead with her level.

As long as this cannot be done, no one can destroy the mouth of an undead.Even if it was Roland, it was just inactivating the body of the undead.

By the time the young undead was resurrected, Roland would have left here long ago.Even if he reacted, it was useless to tell Farina that there was a druid posing as the Blighter.After all, Farina was originally a druid on the run, and she took over after killing the original guardian of the town. It is absolutely impossible to report Roland's information—that would be tantamount to throwing herself into a trap.

As a white oak, Roland couldn't even do it. How could a green vine druid who is good at poison poison kill an undead?The poison resistance of the undead is very high. Except for the poison made of materials above the silver race, such as goblin blood, all common poisons are ineffective.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Farina to poison an undead.

In other words, Farina's diary did not record the real situation.

The diary itself was for herself to read. It was impossible for her to think that she would die from the beginning, and deliberately recorded the wrong situation in the diary.

The only possibility of this kind of intentional misremembering is that Farina knew that someone would read her diary, and she didn't know when to read it.In order to mislead that person, Farina misremembered many key incidents in her diary.

And the misleading information about suing Death Crow inheritance and outsiders must have its meaning, otherwise Farina would have no reason to deliberately conceal this unrepeatable event.If her record is true, then she has already obtained the inheritance, and that person is dead, so she can write it down directly.

So there is only one answer—Falina got the death crow inheritance not from the outlander priest, but from someone related to the watcher.And the existence of the person she killed has great significance. Living or dying will greatly affect Farina's interests and even safety, so she deliberately conceals the fact that she was killed by herself.

Conversely, the things that are not recorded in Farina's diary are the most important things.

Roland felt that a hidden truth was getting closer to him.

After connecting what Roland saw in the game and what happened before and after Farina got the Death Crow inheritance, the answer is obvious——

In Farina's diary, she recorded that it was less than two days before she got the inheritance of the dead crow. She also wrote: "The old liar under the bell tower said that I am going to have bad luck recently. It's really bad luck. I see him every day It's really annoying."

But a day or so later from that date, Old John disappeared.

Almost on the day that Old John disappeared, Farina received important information about the death crow's job change.

After that, old John was never mentioned in her diary again.Before that day, she would say two annoying words about Old John almost every day, but just after he disappeared, Farina never mentioned him again.There is not even a record of "I don't know if I died or not".

That's only one answer.It was that she already knew very well that old John was dead.Naturally, you will no longer feel doubts about what you already know clearly.

Then contact Old John’s completely inconsistent with his identity, the astrological measuring instrument that was broken when the player found his body, and the testimony of “I didn’t move except the money on his body”, then the contradiction obvious.

Thinking of this, Roland turned and went downstairs without hesitation, said casually "clean up the corpse" and immediately ran to the gutter in Ximen.

Maybe it's too late to go now.

"It should have been discovered a long time ago..."

Roland murmured.

A set of regular astrology measuring instruments from the White Tower would cost at least [-] gold coins.That is already a year's tax for a small nobleman.You can even buy two war horses of good breed.

And the wreckage of the measuring instrument - the almost completely soaked thing was sold for dozens of gold coins.Things of that level should never have appeared in the hands of someone like Old John.Even in the most expensive Baita, this thing can be exchanged for a sea view villa.In a relatively small principality, it is enough to buy a lifelong viscount.

If Roland guessed correctly, Old John was most likely doing the Poverty Trial.

It is a secret inheritance of the origin of the golden-rank White Tower Wizard's feeling. After completing the trial, there is a good chance that he will initially feel his own origin.

To put it simply, it is to give up all your spellcasting abilities for a period of time, and then give up all your props and money, and live for a year in a place where your life is threatened every day.In this way, the wizard can directly call his own origin when he returns to the White Tower and holds another ceremony.

This method of awakening origin is simple, direct and effective.But because of its obvious danger, the group of White Tower wizards who put their own lives higher than others would definitely not choose this path unless they had to.

Probably Old John has reached the limit of his age.If you can't awaken the origin, you won't live for two years. In order to continue your research, you will accept such a harsh trial.

And the reason why he was able to bring the measuring instrument was probably because the measuring instrument was not a "prop" at all, it was hollow inside!Old John's judgment of the weather should really be based on astrological calculations.

He wisely chose to conduct the Poverty Trial in a small town on the border of Karal.In this way, he will neither encounter a few Blighters who wiped out wizards without incident, nor will he be killed because he accidentally offended some powerful people.

Originally, Old John had a good chance of passing the poverty trial, but unfortunately, in the third month, he was killed by Farina.

Maybe it was because Farina realized the weirdness of "Old John" from the fact that someone was watching her; maybe it was because she simply wanted to get Old John's measuring instruments-so she killed Old John, by the way Take away the inheritance from him.

Even the way of killing him probably wasn’t the way Farina wrote down in her diary to poison the Beep—she already hated Old John to the extreme, and she had nowhere to know that Old John was a golden man with limited abilities. As a super wizard, naturally he would not choose to kill Old John in this way.

If nothing else, the measuring instrument probably contained what Roland wanted.

If it's over now, maybe it's still time--

Thinking of this, Roland unabashedly stretched out the vines from under the robe, and pushed them on the ground to move forward quickly.

No one dared to hinder Roland's progress on the road.

A black robe passed by in a hurry, and every passerby who saw him quickly retreated to the edge of the road with a look of horror, in case he was blocked by the blighter who seemed to be in a hurry to kill him.

Coming down from the third floor, Roland arrived at the west gate of Ram Town in less than a minute and a half, and found the gutter.

Seeing that the broken measuring instrument in the video that Roland saw back then did not appear in the gutter, Roland immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There is still hope.

Roland didn't say anything, and he wasn't afraid of getting dirty, so he directly manipulated the vines that shared his senses with him into the sewage in the gutter, and searched for Old John's body.

That's not hard to find.

The passer-by who killed Old John was probably instructed by Farina or guided by her. He probably had never killed anyone before. into the sewage.

Even if it is winter now, a week is enough for a corpse soaked in dirty water to rot.By then, the smell in the gutter is bound to draw the guards.The Druid-educated Karal Guard are even more versatile than some of their armies.With the help of divine arts, it is only a very easy thing to do a simple autopsy to find out who came here a week ago.

Then, the reason why Roland didn't really know who the murderer of Old John was until he came to this world, it can only be because Farina has already killed the middle-aged man, or the entire guard Everything has been completely controlled by her.

Roland commanded the vine to take out the measuring instrument from Old John's arms.As for other things, basically did not touch.

"As expected."

Roland whispered.

I saw a boxy, palm-sized small black box that wasn't even wet.Not to mention being soaked in dirty water.

Roland had seen people in the guild use this kind of thing before.If I remember correctly...

He raised the black box and turned it upside down, found the three heavy corners, then reached out and tapped it lightly three times.

"Saor-sorrso. (Command: Open Density Layer)"

Following Roland's command, the small black box began to buzz and vibrate, floating in the air out of thin air.

An old voice came from it: "Gageter? (Password?)"

……password?what is that?
Roland raised his eyebrows.

But he didn't have any worries in his heart.Since that woman, Farina, can open it, it makes no sense for him, as a disciple of Ashes, not to open it.

Thinking of this, Roland temporarily ignored the small black box that was suspended, but drew out the Caral Zhanjian, completely cut open Old John's chest and abdomen, and then used vines to turn his body sideways.

Just before the blackened blood flowed out and the internal organs hadn't flowed out, a dark green light flashed in Roland's eyes.

——Viscera divination, open!
The last image in Roland's eyes was the omen that Old John's intestines had just flowed out.In an instant after that, a consciousness projection from a higher level covered his five senses, and the feeling of being enlightened appeared in front of his eyes——

Quickly, Old John's life flashed by in front of him, and the picture was dim and gloomy.

Roland pursed his lips tightly, staring at any picture passing by.

Enter the White Tower...

Advanced Silver...

Discovered Tull John's theorem...

Advanced Gold...

dispute……

Poverty Trials...

"That's it!" Roland's eyes sharpened instantly.

As if the picture had been dissected together with Old John's body, after Roland wanted to see it more clearly, the flow of the picture slowed down dozens of times out of thin air.

This was after Old John decided to start the trial of poverty.

After that, the old John that Roland saw had an argument with someone, then entered his laboratory, and took out the dark box!

Roland's heart moved, and the flow rate of the whole picture became the same as that of the normal world.

Old John was wearing a dark purple mentor robe embroidered with complicated patterns. He unfolded his astrology monitor with a serious face, and then emptied it without hesitation, and stuffed another piece of paper into it.

"Orfe-Gageter. (set password)"

After finishing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice.

"Gageter? (Password?)"

Old John thought for a while, and then read in a light and cheerful language: "The evening is coming, the tired bird leaves the nest, and will never return—"

The screen stopped abruptly.

Roland's vision froze, and then he saw that Old John's body seemed to have just been kicked by someone, and rolled down the gutter again.Because the rhythm of his visceral outflow was disrupted and he left Roland's sight, this revelation from Gaia's father came to an end.

After that, Roland found a guard in full body armor standing in front of him, with the sword at his waist resting on his neck.Behind him, twelve or thirteen heavily armed guards looked at Roland in full formation.

Roland didn't pay attention to them, but recalled the picture he saw before.

Roland never doubted the authenticity of the picture.Any life born from the earth will never hide from Gaia's father in his whole life.Even though Gaia's father is now polluted by the twilight species and turned into Higgs with snake eyes, he has never lost this ability.

What made Roland more concerned was why Old John finally used the language of the winter elves to encrypt instead of the White Tower language commonly used among White Tower wizards?

White Tower Language is an advanced encrypted form derived from the Devil's Language.Speak and write in this language, which neither priests nor their gods can hear or see.

If Old John just wanted to hide something, it would undoubtedly be the best choice to encrypt it in White Tower.

As for the last sentence he read but didn't finish, Roland also knew the source of it.

As dusk approaches, the weary bird leaves its nest, never to return.

This is a stanza from the long poem "The Raven of Eramat" by the winter elves.

The long poem is a spiritual poem of hidden prophecies and life lessons written by the wise men of the winter elves, and in it also reveals the location of three ancient treasures.

Roland even remembered what the next sentence of Never Returning was——

"Are you listening to me!"

Suddenly, Roland heard the guard in front of him yell angrily.

Roland didn't even bother to respond. He just raised his head and looked at him coldly. The guard took a half step back out of fear, and the long sword he held in his hand lowered his head.

But immediately, the man seemed to feel ashamed, and immediately took two steps forward, and the long sword was raised again, even clinging to Roland's neck.

Roland could even feel his hands trembling.

"I am the captain of Ram's city guard! We suspect that you have committed many murders by pretending to be the Blighter—now you are going to be handed over to Lady Farina for interrogation."

The captain of the city guard swallowed, and said in a stern voice.

Farina?
Sure enough it was her.

Roland sneered.

"Okay, I'll go with you," he said, "but hold your sword steady. You're shaking like this, and I suspect you intend to kill me."

"—If you can't kill me with a single sword, just wait for the people in this small town to bury you with you."

As if the voice came from the kingdom of the dead, it faintly rang in the ears of the captain of the guard.

So, the man trembled violently, then hesitated unwillingly, fearfully, and coweringly, and finally put down the sword in his hand.
