Chapter 1643

The black suitcase was placed on the coffee table by Priest Ao Gu Si. After opening it, what was placed in the depression of the soft cushion lining was actually a thorn crown made of silver-white metal.

It is called a crown, but the shape is just a circle of metal thorns wrapped around a ring. Its workmanship is quite exquisite, but the silver-white metal is covered with reddish-brown rust, but it also looks like bloodstains. This makes this "thorn ring" not look like it was made this week, but rather like it was dug out last week.

But Xia De did not underestimate this item. The rich miracle element highlights the essence of the alchemical item, which is actually a powerful divine magic item. Currently, the only divine magic item he has come into contact with that is more powerful than this item is the sun holy emblem left by Sister Saint-Pery in Randall Valley—this holy emblem now belongs to Yiluna.

"This item is called 【Angel's Thorn Crown】 by me, and the method of use is very simple."

The old priest said while picking up the ring, and then placed it on the top of his head. The ring did not fall, but floated above his head, and the silver metal emitted holy white light.

Behind Priest Ao Gu Si, the phantom of huge scorched wings flashed, which surprised Xia De and Mia, who was squatting on the windowsill, greatly.

"The effect is also very simple—sanctification. That is to say, let yourself briefly possess the virtual identity of an 'Angel'. Oh, don't look at me with such shock, this is not a mortal creating an angel, it is fake, unreal, virtual."

The priest emphasized, and then pointed to the ring, asking Xia De to look at the details carefully:

"Look, I only used less than two seconds, and cracks have already appeared. The effective time of this thing is related to your usage intensity. If it is high-intensity direct combat with the thirteen rings, it will be scrapped in less than five seconds."

He put the ring back into the box, and the curious Mia immediately jumped down from the windowsill and ran to jump onto the coffee table to check.

Xia De saw that the cat had no intention of reaching out its claws to touch the thorns, so he didn't stop it:

"Priest, specifically speaking, what skills can this give me? To be honest, I actually don't know much about angels."

【Given the current environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source-changing app as soon as possible,】

He smiled embarrassedly, and the priest said patiently:

"The Angel of Death is called the 'First Angel' and 'Initial Angel', so I can make this thing. The power you can specifically possess is related to your core spirit rune. As for the intensity, it is impossible to reach the thirteen rings, I can be sure of this. The improvement brought by this thing is at most to let you exceed the level by one or two levels. But what is important is not power, but 'identity'. Brief angelization means that you briefly transcend the limitations of mortals and can do some things that mortals cannot do."

"For example?"

Xia De asked curiously. Divine burning is essentially a kind of transcending mortal limitations, but more thorough and powerful.

"For example, better utilization of one's own spirit and elements, spellcasting with almost no consumption, complete immortality, strong mental resistance, and influencing the world and nature without cost. Generally speaking, if you rely on this power to run away, no one can stop you."

The priest said, but the specific situation still needs Xia De to explore.

"Then I will accept it, you are really amazing, you can even make this kind of thing."

Xia De praised, but didn't put it on to try it immediately.

Priest Ao Gu Si shook his head modestly:

"I can only make this one in a short time, unless you can find more remains that I need. In addition, in that box of potions, there are 'Weak Angel Potion' that I once gave you to deal with human pus, and also 'Golden Potion' that you used when dealing with the mirror demon in Randall Valley. Remember to keep them on your body, and also prevent accidents."

When these potions were made at the beginning, Priest Ao Gu Si said that he couldn't make more in a short time. But as Xia De sent key items one after another, his potion and alchemy level were indeed improving.

"You really helped a lot. Although the enemy this time is not a demon... at least not yet, this is very useful. Oh, I also want to order some other things from you."

Saying this, he picked up paper and pen and wrote his shopping list again, while Priest Ao Gu Si told about the new things he could make for Xia De to choose. Because of that Sage-level shield badge, he only charged Xia De for material costs from now on. Even if Xia De insisted on giving more labor fees, the priest firmly refused.

And while Xia De and the priest were discussing the product list, the orange cat was still sniffing the thorn ring hard. It was quite interested in this, and even wanted to touch it, but turned to see that Xia De was not paying attention here, so it knew that Xia De would not allow it to do so. So, the sensible cat jumped to Xia De's side and lay down, this is the happiest moment.

The priest had nothing else to do on this leisurely Tuesday morning. After putting away Xia De's cargo list, he asked what Xia De was going to do later.

Xia De didn't hide it either:

"I'm going to a real death."

"Oh?"

Priest Ao Gu Si was slightly surprised:

"What are you going there for? And how are you going to go?"

"There is a door on the third floor, I can open a temporarily existing two-way door by sacrificing a 【Heart of the Living Dead】. I want to find a departed soul and let her answer some of my doubts."

The source of 【Heart of the Living Dead】 is Stone Orsenfort. When the souls of the Watson family dragged him into death, they plucked his heart and threw it on the snow. And that heart is now in Xia De's basement:

"This matter indeed doesn't have too much significant meaning, but..."

He pursed his lips and pressed his left chest:

"Priest, do you remember my group task last Thursday?"

"How could I not remember?"

"After looking at those remains, my psychological state has always been very subtly wrong. After coming into contact with a relic yesterday, I understood more aspects of my personality. But there are still some things I can't think through, so I want to ask someone with similar experiences."

Priest Ao Gu Si nodded quite understandingly:

"I understand now that you say so, then I will go with you, anyway there is nothing to do."

Through the door opened in the 【Soul Cemetery】 by sacrificing "Heart of the Living Dead," it didn't say that only Xia De could go in by himself, so not only could Priest Ao Gu Si be allowed to accompany him, but even Mia, who was following Xia De's feet when the two walked to the third floor, could be brought along.

Of course, although companions were allowed, only Xia De could call the soul he wanted to see in the death behind the door while using this door—limited to souls of the Sixth Era.

The priest didn't express any opinion on the iron fence door that appeared abruptly on the third floor of Xia De's house. After entering the 【Soul Cemetery】 with him, watching him hold the heart in his hand, then in the cemetery surrounded by white mist, a stone door very similar to the 【Door of Death】 in the underground of Midhillburg appeared.

The stone door was pushed open by Xia De with great effort, and cold underworld moonlight spilled out from the crack of the door. After the two doors on the left and right opened enough gaps, Xia De didn't bother to push it open completely, but hugged Mia tightly and walked in sideways with the priest.

Shoes stepping on the shallow beach could not make any sound. Looking up, it was boundless darkness. Entering here through a special path, the cold feeling of death did not invade their souls. It's just that, looking at the countless pure white souls flickering toward the half-sunk underworld moon at the end in the dark water area in the distance, looking at this lonely and lonely scene, there was still some emotion in his heart.

The priest stood in front of the door waiting for Xia De, while Xia De walked a few steps toward the shallow beach shore with slightly rippling water, and then called softly:

"Ms. Hela Orsenfort."

Time and space were solidified, leading to the region of ending, and even sound could not spread very far. He was not sure if he needed to speak, and was not sure if the lady was willing to respond to him, so after calling, he waited quietly, and guessed in his heart, if he called Detective Sparrow out at this time, what expression that detective would have.

Mia lay in Xia De's arms looking at the surroundings curiously, and soon widened her beautiful amber eyes, looking at the underworld moon in the distance. Bai Yin moonlight spilled on the person and the cat, and the cat's eyes were actually dyed silver-white.

It's a pity that at this moment, Xia De's attention had been placed on the woman's soul walking in the opposite direction to those countless wandering souls. Wearing a pedantic black long dress, with a thin black veil on her face, Hela Orsenfort walked from the direction of the underworld moon.

She came to the shore from the water area, and stood on the shallow beach made of white gravel representing the real "boundary between life and death" just like Xia De. If Xia De wanted, he could even bring this departed soul back to the material world, which was also the effect after sacrifice, but clearly he would not do so.

"Good day, Mr. Hamilton."

The woman wearing a veil bowed slightly to Xia De, with a very light amplitude. Xia De didn't quite remember whether he had said his name, but this was not a very important thing:

"I'm sorry to disturb you in this kind of place, this time there are some things I want to talk about, it won't take too long."

He said embarrassedly, and the black eyes looked at Xia De from behind the veil, and the woman shook her head slightly:

"It doesn't matter, being able to help you, I am also very happy."

"It's like this, I encountered some things recently, emotions, um, in my heart, um... it's not that my heart turned into stone. Specifically, it's like when I met you, the indifference without feelings you had. I discovered that I am also a somewhat indifferent person."

He spoke hesitantly because he was not sure what exactly he wanted to know, he just wanted to talk about his own things with a soul that could empathize with him:

"I have already recovered from complete indifference, but that experience made me a bit worried. When I understand my personality more, understand myself more, whether I really love everything around me, really love them. Yes, I love them, I am sure of this, but whether I... sorry, I don't know how to express it either."
