Of course, although the relics in the ruins cannot be taken away, there are other spoils as well.
In addition to the greedy silver color of the Secret Keeper-level Demon Eye, the Silver Eyed One also had a relic. It was a pair of blood-stained iron scissors, which should be the items collected to synthesize the blood of mercury. In fact, there should be more relics around him, but the three of them couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked. In the end, they guessed that they were absorbed by the tree that was burned to ashes.
Two relics were also found on the vampire's mutilated body. One of them looked very familiar, a puppeteer's script, a total of five pages, the first two pages were blacked out, and now there were three pages left. The other was a fang, embedded directly in the vampire's mouth. If it weren't for the woman's reminder in his heart, Shade might have missed it.
The four relics of the Silver-Eyed Man and the vampire, plus the gift box from God and the small bottle of mercury in the underground warehouse, a total of 6 relics were harvested in this adventure.
In addition to the relics, Shade himself was promoted to the second ring, and he also obtained the spirit rune - Whispering Toymaker, two items of thaumaturgical toy making and the Moonlight Greatsword, as well as a drop of divinity. This time the harvest was really huge.
Being with the Chosen One, a person entangled by fate, is indeed very dangerous, but the rewards are also beyond ordinary. At least, Shade has never gained so much from an adventure.
This time, I was well prepared and took a huge risk to fight against a high-level warlock, but the reward I got was enough.
In addition to the above, the Silver Eyed Man and the vampire also had notebooks and letters on them. These were also the spoils of the three men of Shade, and there was no reason to leave them to the church. However, the current environment was too dangerous, so it was better to wait until we returned to the ground to identify the relics and letters.
"But how are you going to get rid of these two bodies?"
Miss Anat was predicting whether there would be any more danger when they left, while Miss Beas pointed to the two mutilated corpses on the ground. The body of the Silver Eyed Man was what Shade had promised to give to Miss Carina. The vampire was a member of the Blood Spirit School. Although the body was severely damaged, the witches might have psychic skills, so he planned to take it away as well:
"You're not going to carry them away?"
The young sorceress expressed disgust.
"Of course not. I find them disgusting. Look, I've learned to make thaumaturgical toys."
As he spoke, Shade squatted down and fiddled with the corpse, trying to make it as close together as possible. Then he took off his coat, which had accompanied him on this journey. The coat was also tattered, but it was just right as a spellcasting material.
He shook the coat in his hand twice, then suddenly threw it upward. It expanded in the air, and after landing, it completely covered the body of the silver-eyed man.
Xia De picked up the coat. There was no body under the coat. Instead, there was a rag doll that looked like the body of a silver-eyed person. The rag doll was curled up in an extremely bad posture:
"Look."
He picked up the puppet, and Iluna looked at it curiously:
"You can turn dead things into puppets?"
"Not only dead things, but also living things can be transformed, but they must trust me completely. In addition to puppets, they can also be turned into puppets and clay dolls, but they can only be toys. Depending on the actual size, there is also an upper limit to the volume that can be changed. For example, this corpse can only shrink to the size of two fingers. As for the trust level of living things... ... I have to experiment to find out."
As he spoke, he used the coat in his hand to cover the disgusting remains of the vampire again, turning it into a puppet as well, and continued to introduce:
"But this magic is ineffective against any relics, and has little effect on spellcasting materials, otherwise it would be too convenient."
Shade said regretfully, looking at the mess of spellcasting materials scattered next to the vampire puppet:
"But you can use this to identify relics. If you just throw a large piece of canvas randomly, and it doesn't turn into a toy, there must be something wrong with it."
With the map in hand, Shade and the two girls easily found the secret room where the eighteen gold plates and religious books were stored. There were other things here, such as the notes of the successive ring warlocks of the order, and the history of the order. Each of the three picked a few books to take away, and Shade even took away all the information in the God's gift box.
Entering the ruins was scary, but leaving was much easier. The compass guided them out of the maze; the repaired mirror had no effect on Shade, who was in the second ring, and he kicked it over; the giant soldier called the gargoyle was still dormant, so there was no need to offer his eyes a second time.
The three of them were in a good mood along the way. When they lit the Podor Candle, which had only one minute left to use, and crawled out of the passage dug by Mercury Blood, they saw that the warehouse was still the same and no one noticed anything unusual, so they were in an even better mood.
Taking the vial of mercury and burning the last stump of candle, they left the printing house.
The night wind from the city blew away the earthiness and heat from the three people. The moonlight and mist seemed particularly friendly to them who had been underground for several hours.
They did not stop but kept moving forward until they were far away from the block where the printing factory was located, and then they confirmed that this adventure was really over.
Standing in the alley, the shadows engulfed the three of them, but at close range, relying on the moonlight, they could all see each other's faces:
"Thank you for everything you did for me tonight."
Miss Bei Yasi said, hugging the two of them. She subconsciously reached out and touched the eye patch on her left eye:
"I'm going to find the captain at the banquet and tell him about the second and third God's descent containers. You guys are to keep tonight's harvest first, and we'll divide it up at Shade's house tomorrow night."
"no problem."
Xia De and Miss Annat said that the reason they did not follow her to the manor where the charity banquet was being held was because their identities were not suitable. Moreover, the church had already grasped the overall situation. Even if there were additional vessels for the descent of God, as long as the banquet was destroyed, without the important ritual condition of the "blood feast", the descent of God would still be impossible.
But we still can't let our guard down, so Iluna Beias wants to get there as soon as possible.
"See you tomorrow night, Miss Anat. See you tomorrow night, Shad."
She said softly, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Xia De on the side of his face very naturally.
She took a step back with a blush, and looked at Shade's blurry face in the shadow with a gentle smile:
"I don't mean anything else."
Having said that, he turned around and hurried away along the alley.
Xia De felt lost. This was the second time he was kissed tonight. Miss Annat beside him smiled and patted him. The female fortune teller was in a good mood now:
"What are you thinking about? We should go back and rest."
Although the angel healed everyone's pain except for the left eye, the fatigue in the heart still exists:
"Well, see you tomorrow night. But these six relics..."
He said with embarrassment that the relics, whose specific containment conditions were unknown, were more dangerous than steam bombs.
"The gift box from God is yours, take it with you. The two greedy silver eyes, when not installed in the human body, are in regular contact with silver powder. You keep this for me. You also take the puppeteer's script, after all, you are the only one who has touched this thing."
The female fortune teller said, after thinking for a while:
"There are three relics whose names and uses are unknown. I will keep them for the time being. Helping Iluna Beias means that I have completed an important node in my destiny, so my divination ability has also improved."
She pointed to her own purple eyes:
"After I return, I will try my best to divine the information of the other three items. It may not be useful, but at least I can know the containment conditions."
"Okay then, but you have to be careful."
Shade said with some concern.
"You should be careful. I only need a ceremony to advance to the fourth ring, but you are only at the second ring, yet you are holding so many dangerous items."
In the darkness, the pair of purple eyes looking at Shade seemed to be glowing.
She suddenly approached Xia De, and the two looked at each other closely. The woman asked in a low voice:
"Before we part, can you please satisfy my curiosity and answer a question?"
"Excuse me."
Xia De was already prepared to be asked about secrets. They had just seen the maze and must have known that the recent fishman incident was related to him.
But Shad guessed wrong.
"Which do you prefer, my kiss or Iluna's kiss?"
He could hear her soft laughter, and her purple eyes, which were so close to him, seemed to be deeply imprinted in Xia De's heart. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, who was talking and laughing, Xia De felt that his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.
"Is that all you want to ask?"
He said in a low voice.
"Yes, you must answer."
The girl with short brown hair smiled widely.
"Um... ... "
He thought about it, and although he blushed a little, he still told the truth:
"I don't really have any experience, after all, the time is too short."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and shook her head, her short hair swaying as her head moved. She did not bring up the topic again, her eyes still smiling, but her tone slightly changed:
"Shad, are you willing to accompany me to witness the remaining twelve chosen ones, just like this adventure?"
"Of course, I said that underground."
He answered without hesitation. Although this adventure was dangerous, it was necessary. He was still 10 drops short of divinity. It would be great if every adventure with the chosen one went as smoothly as tonight.
"Then from tonight on, the fates of the three of us are truly tied together. I hope we can keep going."
The smile on Luvia Annat's face was unexpectedly sad. Without saying anything else, she whispered good night to Shade and turned to leave the alley.
Xia De stood there, watching her back disappear in the thick fog of the night, then he walked out of the alley holding the cold gift box.
"Luvia Anat, what on earth has happened to you?"
He thought to himself.
Everyone has their own story.
"Yes."
He thought again of the two ghosts in the cemetery:
"I have my own story, as long as I don't regret it..."
Standing at the entrance of the alley and taking a deep breath, the smell of burning exhaust gas rushed into my lungs, along with the warm feeling unique to summer nights:
"Anyway, this night is finally over."
