The three coins were golden in color, and were essentially metal coins made from the "Demon Gold" produced in the Third Epoch. The biggest difference from ordinary Demon Gold was that these coins had the whispering element.
This is a very famous relic, and Luvia believes that it is the most numerous currency relic in existence. In addition to the nature of "Devil Gold" itself, that is, it is made of souls and will deepen the corruption of souls as long as it is used, the whispering element also gives this coin additional characteristics.
Each demon gold coin can be used with the most basic summoning ritual to summon a demon. The quality of the summoned demon varies depending on the number of gold coins used. As long as the demon gold coin used for summoning is not lost, the power of the gold coin can be used to enslave the summoned demon; and once the gold coin is obtained by the demon, it can gain complete freedom.
Of course, if there were less than ten coins, at most he could only summon a lower-level demon. For the doctor, such a small amount of gold coins was completely useless, so he left it to Shade. As it happened, Shade had always needed a large amount of special currency.
Of the six items that the devil promised Shade to choose, the information about "desire" had already been retrieved by desire itself. The remaining five items were stored in the mirror.
The first thing Shade took out was a white bone ring with elderflowers engraved on the ring face. As soon as the document-level relic, the Ring of Immortality, appeared, the cat's eyes lit up and it immediately rushed towards Shade's fingers.
But Shade had already prepared for this cat. When he heard about the function of the ring, he guessed that his cat would like it very much:
"It increases lifespan and offsets the effects of magic or relics that consume lifespan, but the cost is permanent emotional wear and tear. As long as it is not used frequently, it has little effect on humans, but it is deadly to small animals such as cats and dogs."
Shade whispered the characteristics of the beautiful ring in his hand, and then read the words engraved on the ring:
"The interweaving of life and death is the answer to the meaning of life."
"Meow~"
The stopped little Mia squatted aside and looked at Xia De obediently, so Xia De waved to it and put the bone ring on the cat's tail.
Wearing this ring can play the role of "increasing life span", in which case the negative characteristics will not appear. However, if it is used to offset the side effects of Shade's "Breath of Time" or to offset the side effects of the "Plague Doctor Ring" that consumes non-human life span, then the negative characteristics will appear.
Therefore, unlike the previous rings, Shade was very supportive of his cat wearing the "Longevity Ring" all year round. After all, he didn't want Mia to leave him one day, and even just thinking about this possibility made him feel so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"Transformation, Fish Training, Blood-sucking Species, Plague Doctor, Immortality... Mia has taken the fifth commandment."
Xia De smiled and touched the cat, which was very well-behaved because of the "new toy". While feeling the good touch, he wondered whether he should get some cat toys himself to make Xiaomia's hobby more normal.
Does it feel better now or an hour ago
"She" suddenly asked in Xia De's ear, and then because Xia De's hand trembled, the cat under his command became extremely dissatisfied.
What Shade took out next was a dark brown wine bottle, which even had a hand-painted label on it.
The label has a winery in the background, with small words written in pencil below:
Inexhaustible wine, looking forward to a wild heart.
This is a poet-level relic, the Bottle of Dionysus. Generally speaking, ring sorcerers have very strict rules for naming relics. Therefore, since the word "Dionysus" is included in the name of the relic, this relic is most likely related to a certain god.
However, there is more than one god related to wine. For example, the vampire Duke Laoel, whom Shad knew, is one of them, so Shad is not clear about the origin of this bottle.
"Let me try it."
He uncorked the bottle, poured a small glass of red wine, and held the glass up to the light of the statue to observe its color. Then he remembered that he had no idea how to taste wine.
"Meow~"
"You can't drink."
After scolding the greedy cat, Shade drank the wine in the glass. He felt that although it was not as delicious as his own "blood brew", it was still good enough to be called a fine wine.
"Put it in the basement first. I'm not short of money recently, so I'm not in a hurry to sell it."
So Shad placed the bottle against the wall of this hidden space, next to God's gift box.
"And then this, oh, this thing is really heavy."
The black book with a flat skull inlaid on the surface was taken out, and there was even a blue light in the eyes of the skull. But perhaps because it was next to the ancient god statue, the book did not tempt Shade to open it this time.
"Dangerous items."
Shade commented on the book called "The Demonic Book of Malbas", saying that it was not a relic, but a collection of demonic knowledge, similar to "The Secret of Immortality" and "The Pink Book", but much more dangerous than the latter two.
After thinking about it, Shad stuffed the book back into his pocket. He decided to consult a doctor before considering how to deal with it.
"Flames."
When Shade touched the sage-level relic, the Eternal Fire, in the stone mirror, the primordial fire in his body immediately became restless.
To be honest, the only sage-level relics in Xia De's hands so far were the Source of Chaos and the Gift Box of God. Sage-level relics were forbidden to be circulated in any way, and he had not even heard of the rumor of sage-level relics in the black market.
According to the demon, this relic can directly affect the life ring. The flame will wrap around the life ring, causing changes in the magic mastered by the ring sorcerer.
Xia De imagined the scene of the brass ring behind him wrapped in flames. Although he was tempted, he did not keep the flame for himself, but put it into the oil lamp that could collect fire from the Sin Mansion. Since he promised to help Sister Defulin collect strange flames, he would not break his promise, and the nun had helped him a lot all along.
"Finally this..."
The fingernail-sized red stone was held in Shade's hand. The stone shone with scarlet light, like solidified fresh blood, and looked more beautiful and moving than any ruby. Even the sage-level relic on Leicia's ear could not compare to the color of this sage's stone.
This is also a sage-level relic, and it is the most dangerous one among the sage-level relics, but also the most valuable one. Looking at the small stone in his hand, Xia De even had the urge to swallow it in one gulp.
"Meow~"
Xiaomia, who seemed to be making predatory movements nearby, seemed to think the same.
But of course he couldn't eat it himself or feed it to the cat. Even if he used the Philosopher's Stone to prepare the elixir of life, he still needed to use potions to process it. Swallowing it directly would cause the collapse of his own flesh and blood, turning him into a horrible monster made of piled flesh and blood.
“That’s really good.”
In fact, among the six rewards offered by the devil, Shad wanted this the most. The first time he saw it, he felt that the Philosopher's Stone must belong to him.
But now that I have it in my hands, I have no idea how to use it.
After the viewing, Shade went to his simple alchemy workshop in the basement and found some jewelry left from the treasures he and Yin Luna found in the Randall River Valley. He removed the gems from the silver jewelry of suitable size, embedded the Philosopher's Stone in it, and then hung it around his neck.
In many of his past adventures with the Time Key, he had encountered situations where he could use the Philosopher's Stone to solve problems. He would surely encounter similar difficulties again in the future, so Shade planned to use this Philosopher's Stone where it was most needed.
Of course, he would like to keep it permanently, the stone is really beautiful.
"Oh, and this one."
Although all the items in the demon wreckage had been taken out, Shad had gained other things from his adventure that night.
The first thing he took out was a white glove. Although it was knitted with wool, I don't know what kind of wool Fiona used. The whole glove looked completely integrated, and there was no gap even when facing the light.
“Another souvenir.”
Shade sighed softly and placed it on the shelf where he kept his "souvenirs".
The gift box of the God in Hope Town, the notebook of Feliana in the Thousand Trees Forest, the card of the Future Man in the Terrorburgh, the black and white intertwined headband in the Night Manor, the cloak of the Moon Witch in the Dead Valley, the ring of the Witch Emperor in the Lost Lake, and the ice crystal of the demigod witch in the Silver Mountains are all here.
"I almost forgot about this."
She carefully took out a pink and white petal from her pocket.
The small flower obtained from the worm cave, as the spring flower among the flowers of the four seasons, was consumed when the "god" Shade cast a spell. But at the end of the banquet between gods and humans, when the flowers rained all over the table and the open space, the small flower floated back. Luvia mentioned this after Shade woke up in Miss Benanis's manor.
The petals were carefully placed in a glass container, and Shade planned to come back later to make them into specimens.
He bent down and picked up Mia, looking at the "memories" brought back from the past with satisfaction. After waiting for a moment, he took out the last thing, which was the mithril cube.
The six stories have been found by Shade who traveled through the Randall Valley, and the treasures stored in them have been taken out. However, the cube as a container is itself an extremely sophisticated alchemical item. Even if it is melted regardless of its technology, the material is still valuable.
Shade threw it twice, and finally decided to keep it with him for the time being. There were far more than six stories engraved in this mithril cube, and it might be useful when he went to deal with the ending of the Randall Valley incident.
