Shad put the ring away and left the cat to sulk there, then continued to discuss the ownership of the other items on the table.
"God's gift box belongs to Shad."
Luvia said, and Miss Beatrice had no objection to this:
"But what else does this sage-level relic do?"
She was very curious, and Shade picked up the stack of papers beside her. These were the research materials left by the cult:
"Three positive features and one negative feature. The first is the church's record that every ring sorcerer who comes into contact with this gift box for the first time can obtain a synthesis formula to synthesize high-level relics with low-level relics. But the box only provides a possibility. The extinct church has never succeeded, and the Silver Eyed One has not succeeded either."
“There is no record of success in the church’s records.”
Miss Beyath added.
"So does the academy."
Miss Annat also added.
Xia De then shook his head:
"So, this characteristic is actually not clear. And judging from the fate of the Silver Eyed One, greed comes at a price."
When Shad touched the box, he did not obtain the so-called synthetic information, because what he obtained was divinity.
Moreover, based on his understanding of the god, there was no reason for him to add such a function to the final work he made. In Shade's opinion, this kind of "synthesis" might be feasible, but it would be extremely difficult, and it might be a little joke played by the god.
"Secondly, this box can contain abnormal items, whether they are other strange things or relics. Yes, as long as they can be put in, any relic placed in the box will never get out of control. And..."
Shade paused:
"As long as the relic is large enough to fit into the box, it can be restored to normal."
"It is indeed a sage-level relic."
Luvia sighed.
“That’s great, but there should be a limit, right?”
Miss Beatrice asked again.
"Of course there is an upper limit, but the people in the cult haven't figured it out. After all, this is a creation of God. For a relic to be unaffected by the box, it must be related to God."
It’s a pity that this metal box is too big, otherwise Xia De would definitely carry it with him.
"The last characteristic is also the true characteristic of this gift box. While the child holds it, he or she can get a gift from the box every week. The box can only produce one gift per week, so there is no such thing as organizing a team of minors to receive gifts. This gift is made based on items already available in the material world. It may be an ordinary item or an extraordinary item. In other words, this relic may be a perfect copy of another relic. As for the type of gift obtained, it is not completely random. It is affected by the inner thoughts of the child receiving the gift, but it is most likely just an ordinary item."
Shade said, stroking the metal cube box:
"By the way, the gift I received this week was the thing in the ruins that emitted a golden light and scared away the cracks."
"This... is indeed a sage-level relic."
Luvia sighed again.
Compared with the ancient witch's golden necklace, which is also a sage-level item, the function of God's gift box is more complicated. It is difficult to compare which of the two items is better, but in Shade's opinion, the one that truly belongs to him is definitely better.
"Shad, you said that the box thinks you are a child? So you can still hold it for at least a dozen years?"
Miss Bei Yasi's tone showed envy:
"Children rarely awaken the Ringwitch talent. This relic is probably most suitable for you. But I don't understand why only children can receive gifts?"
Xia De leaned back slightly on the sofa, and the face of the young man with the ridiculous clown hat appeared in front of him again:
“Because this is a gift for children.”
The positive properties of God's Gift Box are very good, and the negative properties are equally powerful.
After an adult touches the box and obtains the synthesis formula, there is a one in five chance of losing his childhood memories, a one in five chance of dying directly, and a one in five chance of going crazy directly.
This relic is extremely strict to non-child holders, which is why Miss Carina thought it best not to have any thoughts about it when she first talked to Shade about it.
While the child holds the box, each gift he or she receives will come with a request, such as feeding a pet or kissing his or her parents. If the request is not met, the child will have nightmares every night for a week.
That was a nightmare from God, and even a ring sorcerer could be lost.
Miss Beatrice was worried about this, but Shade didn't care:
"I have seen Him in the past. He is a truly kind God. He will not be so harsh on children. Even if the request cannot be fulfilled, as long as you apologize sincerely, the punishment will definitely be reduced."
The female fortune teller showed an expression of awe, and Miss Beatrice said softly:
“It’s really amazing.”
I don't know whether he was commenting on Shad or on the Old God.
The discussion of God's Gift Box came to a halt for now, and then there were only three pages left of the Puppet Master script. This thing has five pages, but the first two pages are blacked out, probably because the vampire himself used them.
"Take it away! Don't let it get near me!"
Before the two ladies could express their opinions, Shade immediately shook his head, as if this relic was something cursed. He gritted his teeth, his expression extremely determined:
"Absolutely, I will never use such a thing. Take it away and don't let me see it!"
The last time he used dice to manipulate his fate, he almost died on the street. Shade still hadn't forgotten the lesson. Luvia looked at him holding the cat with amusement:
"Shad, fate is not as terrible as you think."
"No matter if the fate is terrible or not, I will absolutely! Never touch this kind of thing!"
Shad totally got the lesson.
"Iluna, do you want this?"
The purple-eyed female fortune teller asked again, and Miss Beatrice understood what she meant:
"It doesn't matter, give me any one of them."
"Then I will keep these three pages for now. They will be very useful for my divination."
Luvia looked very happy.
Thus, of the six relics collected, only the bloodstained iron scissors and the mercury vial remained undistributed. Miss Anat took three pages of the puppeteer's script, and the remaining two items were divided equally between Shade and Miss Beas.
Because they still didn't know what it was, the two drew lots to decide who would own the relic. In the end, Shad took the mercury vial, and the scissors belonged to Miss Beas. Shad could ask Old John to identify it, which would cost a fee; while Miss Beas could have it identified at the church, which would be free of charge.
At this point, all the finishing work related to the ruins and the God's Descent last night was completed. The plan that had been prepared for a week ended like this, and the three of them sat here safely. This was the best ending that Xia De could think of.
Miss Bei Yasi suddenly turned to look at Xia De:
"Oh, I forgot to say, thank you for your eyes."
She pointed to her left eye, and both Shade and Luvia looked over. The brown eye seemed to go straight into her soul. From the outside, this eye looked no different from her normal right eye, but since it was a gift from God, it was definitely not just an ordinary eye.
"Very beautiful eyes, Shad. I know this gift was not given to me by God, but by you."
She looked at Shade:
"I'm actually ready to be one-eyed for the rest of my life... Thank you. I noticed that you still address me as 'Miss Bei Ya Si'. Just call me by my name from now on."
"Okay, Iluna."
Xia De sighed slightly and picked up Mia the cat who was taking a nap after a full meal:
"As long as you like it. By the way, do you have anything else to deal with recently?"
"The chosen ones bring not only power, but also knowledge. I will sort it out soon and tell you anything valuable. I will probably go to the Vatican next week, but I will be back soon."
Iluna said excitedly.
"The first chosen one has appeared. I will start looking for the second one. The only blood money cannot be spent casually. I think I have to find some other ways."
Luvia was a little sad:
"Shadow, what are you going to do?"
"After martial law is lifted tomorrow, the doctor and I will take away the fake Philosopher's Stone."
"I can help you predict the dangers that may occur. Of course, it's just ordinary divination."
The fortune teller suggested.
"I can tell the church's patrol team not to approach that area within ten minutes. I have some power in the church now."
The young girl with long brown hair also said.
"I also asked someone to help transfer the patrol police. This way, this matter will finally be over."
I tilted my head to look at the night view outside the window. It was midsummer and the city was under martial law tonight. It was probably the quietest night in Tobesk this year.
