Even if Shade could successfully reach Midhill Castle, it would not be easy to find the missing priest in such a huge unfamiliar city. And considering the current condition of Priest Augustus, he might not be able to wait for Shade's needle-in-a-haystack search. And Shade's Blood Echo could only see the traces left by the owner of the body fluid within 24 hours, so he had to set off before the afternoon.
In fact, the sooner the better. Although the priest came to him in a dream at night, it does not mean that he would immediately find Shade as soon as he encountered danger.
"Okay, I can do a cost divination, but didn't you go play cards last night? How did you get new coins?"
Luvia took the silver coin from Shade, looked at it from front to back, and nodded with certainty:
"I know this one. It's the Poet-level Relic Fraudster's Coin. It's one of those relics with the least negative traits. This coin will always end with the holder being deceived, and then it will be passed on to the next holder. In other words, if you hold it, you will definitely be deceived... Who did you deceive?"
"I'm not lying to anybody."
Shade said, watching Luvia close her eyes and prepare to flip the coin, but he felt very strange in his heart:
"But now this coin has been transferred from my hand to Luvia's... What did she lie to me about?"
The coin was thrown into the air by the moving carriage, and fell at the highest point of the flight, scattering into ashes. This kind of poet-level relic, because its "currency" itself is not strong, the power it can provide for Luvia's price divination is not strong. It is definitely impossible to use this to find the third chosen one, but it is possible to find the blood of Augustus priests.
Luvia opened her eyes, and a flash of purple light flashed in her pupils:
"The blood you want is in the potion workshop of Priest Augustus. Sometimes human blood is needed to prepare potions. If it is a small amount, Priest Augustus will use his own. He kept some and hid it under a large iron box in the lower left corner of the basement. Although it is preserved with ice, I'm afraid it is no longer fresh."
"Understood, as long as it's still blood. But if it's not fresh, the duration of my magic will be shortened. We must act quickly."
The Tobesk Mineral Association is located in the University District's Draerion Royal University. Originally, the association had no relationship with the university, but because of the kingdom's geological exploration policy for the New World and the newly established geology department at the Draerion Royal University, the Tobesk Mineral Association, originally a semi-civilian organization, was affiliated with the university.
There was a white sign on the pillars at the entrance of the association, and the interior looked more like an exhibition hall than a university laboratory. After explaining his purpose, Shade met Mr. Francis, the president of the Mineral Association, and confirmed that there was indeed a white stone crystal hidden here.
"But this ore is difficult to process, Mr. Hamilton. What do you want to buy it for?"
Mr. Francis, who is a part-time teacher at the university, agreed to sell the association's only crystal to Shad for 30 pounds per crystal, but he was puzzled by this. (Note)
"It's hard to destroy and transform, so although it's useless except for being beautiful, doesn't it fit the metaphor of 'love'? 'White stone crystal is forever, and one crystal will last forever'. I plan to polish and cut it and give it to the girl next to me."
Xia De said nonsense casually, and while Mr. Francis looked a little confused and Luvia was trying to hold back her smile, he got the crystal that could obtain new coordinates.
Next, Shad and Luvia went to Dawn Square again, opened the workshop of Priest Augustus in his friend's basement, and found the blood he had hidden.
Ring sorcerers usually do not waste their blood casually, because many curses are activated through blood.
Although the priest was somewhat careless, he did not leave much blood. The liquid content only covered the bottom of the bottle. Roughly estimating the degree of deterioration, Shade believed that this was enough to activate Shade's Blood Echo for about three to five hours.
"Time is very tight."
When the two returned to St. Teresa's Square, Dorothy and Dr. Schneider had not arrived yet. Because they were not sure what was on the other side of the space maze, whether they needed to dive and swim, or survive in the wild, Luvia helped Shad pack his luggage, and then put those things into a suitcase and turned them into toys for him to carry with him.
Mia squatted by the side and watched Shad pack his things. It probably guessed that Shad was going on a long journey, so it looked very unhappy.
It was not until twelve o'clock noon that Dorothy and Dr. Schneider arrived one after another.
Dorothy didn't get the method to get good luck, but secretly gave Shad a pendant with the royal family emblem, and explained that with this emblem, he could go to the police station in Midhill Castle for help. This should be something of Lecia.
Dr. Schneider brought the relic he mentioned, but the characteristics of the relic were somewhat different from what Shade had imagined:
"That's it."
In the living room on the second floor, Mia squatted on the back of the sofa behind Xia De's head, watching the four people sitting around the coffee table.
The doctor took out an item in an iron box oozing with blood, and no one knew how the coachman got him into the carriage.
When the box was opened, it was found to be filled with blood, and the doctor, despite his nausea, fished out a piece of black hair:
"Don't worry, this is pig blood. This relic must be contained in blood."
He placed the dozen or so thin black hairs on the towel prepared by Shade, and as the relics left the containment environment, some tiny whispers gradually became clear in his ears.
The hairs actually began to wriggle slowly on the towel like worms. Not only Mia screamed, but Shad, Luvia, and Dorothy also felt uncomfortable.
"The Keeper-level relic, Unfortunate One, has long hair. This is actually a relic that brings bad luck."
The doctor said, carefully using his fingers to dip some pig blood and pouring it on the hair. The whispers in the surrounding environment weakened, and it immediately stopped moving. The coin just now was fine even if it was held in the hand, but these hairs would immediately mutate as long as they were not in a containment environment, which was enough to prove their strength.
"Very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Alan was planning to submit it to the Sexes Higher Medical School at the weekend. If I hadn't lent it to him, he would never have taken it out. According to legend, this is the hair of an unfortunate lady who lived in the Third Age. Her life was full of accidents, big and small. She could even choke when drinking water..."
Although the doctor's luck is not very good, it is just that he has a little good luck and it is not exaggerated to this extent.
"After her death, her hair was obtained by a supernatural being in the Third Age and made into a cursed item of doom. After a long time, it turned into this relic that brings doom."
