Chapter 1817

Divine descent must have a corresponding reason; this is a very common view. The various gods Xia De has encountered in the past time indeed all had their own reasons for appearing. For example, the God of Gambling responded to Mr. Riddle's invitation to a gamble, the God of Vampires wanted to hold a banquet, and the God of Travel was looking forward to interesting travel stories.

But thinking of this, why the Old God "Gold Master" appeared in the "Black Fog Camp" is worth thinking about carefully.

The things that these high-dimensional existences value are very different from what mortals think. For example, the 【Vampire Duke Lao Ai】, who has had several contacts with Xia De, laid out his plans for two eras just for a cup of blood brew, and wanted nothing else, which is completely incomprehensible to mortals.

"Then the second question, in your religious legends, has there ever been a camp covered in black fog?"

The two men looked at each other in confusion, then shook their heads together:

"Sorry, there shouldn't be."

"That's fine, those are my questions."

Xia De nodded and stood up. His goal had been achieved, but the older man stopped him:

"Sir, please wait a moment. Are you interested in the divine arts we inherited?"

"What do you mean? You want to sell to me?"

After mastering this Art, according to the degree of proficiency, there are different characteristics. For example, in the early stage, one can judge the purity of gold through the sense of smell and the sense of touch of the tongue; in the middle stage, one can heal injuries by swallowing gold, and even severed limbs can be restored; if one has mastered the Art for a long time and swallowed enough, in the final stage, one can even make a layer of extremely resilient, clean metal film appear on the surface of the body to protect oneself, and it is easy to use gold to replace the vast majority of spellcasting materials. Once gold is added as a medium during spellcasting, it can greatly enhance the spellcasting effect."

This Art sounds very good, but Ye Qing doubts that the two men in front of him want to earn a sum from him by selling "Golden Cat Statues". What's more, he doesn't think little Mia, who is narrow-minded, would allow him to place a golden cat-shaped statue at home and touch it every day.

The influence of the "Whispering Poem" and the Chosen is growing, and the teams of professors sent by the three major academies for each incident are also becoming larger. The Zaras School of Literature currently has three 18th-tier mages, and now they have sent two at once, which can be considered a very bold decision. But this is also a last resort. Starting from the Tobesk incident last summer, the enemies that have appeared in the competition for the identity of the Chosen and those disasters that are almost natural phenomena are also expanding in scope and intensity step by step.

He pointed to his eyes, and Xia De found that his brown eyeballs had a faint light. This is probably a reconnaissance Art similar to 【Vision Demon】 or 【Echo of Blood】.

Steer calculated his assets. Since 1854, his biggest income has been the shares of that gold mine in the Green Lake Valley. Because the location and depth of the gold mine have been confirmed, there has been the first output in just two months, but it has not yet been converted into cash and distributed to Steer.

The group set off after nine in the morning and arrived at their destination in just fifteen minutes by carriage. The professors from the Zaras School of Literature and the Serandel Higher School of Medicine also arrived at the church at about the same time.

Steer is actually very interested in the believers of the 【Twin Gods】. After all, even Grace and Helen said they were not sure if they still existed. As a result, after meeting them, he found that they were two ordinary people, and they were twin old women who looked older than Father August.

"The only drawback is that it requires consuming pure gold."

Besides that, when he and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na stumbled upon the flower-selling girl's relic in the Ye Qingying Valley sewer, he accidentally discovered a treasure from a hundred years ago. Part of that money was donated, and part was split equally between Steer and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. Plus, Steer hasn't had any major expenses since this year, so even though he took out 5,000 pounds in one go last year to invest in Miss Sylvia's business, he still has about 7,000 pounds in cash now.

"Hmm... what is the second one?"

If the situation were not urgent, the Zhengshen Sect would not easily allow the 18th-tier mages of the three major academies to enter this area.

On the Church's territory, the interests of the three major academies can be regarded as a whole. After exchanging pleasantries and current information, the Church also arranged a meeting with the believers of the Old Gods.

"Yes, did the two of them just say something similar to you?"

By the way, Steer's healing ability, 【Cynthia's Silver Moon Blessing】, is said to have been created by the ancestor of this professor.

"Are you interested?"

"We are not willing to trade with just anyone, but we see that you are a very valuable trading partner."

However, at least for now, these have nothing to do with Ye Qing. He could see that Miss Danni Xia De intended to let him meet some professors from the other two academies, and when they were greeting each other, she also intended to introduce those high-tier mages to him. And although the professors from Zaras and Serandel didn't know Steer, they all gave Miss Danni Xia De face.

And the last two believers of the 【Twin Gods】 sect were ordinary people from the beginning. Although the sect's materials were partially preserved by them, most of the valuable ones had been lost, so it's no wonder that even Grace and Helen thought the sect no longer existed.

"You are really picky, but it doesn't matter, we like customers like you. You will definitely be satisfied with the last one, 【Treasured Object】, which uses a certain inanimate ordinary object as the selected target, and uses the spellcaster's greed and love for the object to make the object gain supernatural power according to its own function and shape. For example, if you choose a ring, it is possible... please don't go, if you are not satisfied, we have other divine arts here."

"If you are willing, why not listen to what we intend to sell to you first."

"Do they also want to sell you an Art?"

Take the statue back to your long-term residence, arrange the ritual according to the requirements, and have regular contact with it every day. In a certain ritual stage—about three weeks later, you can learn the passive Art 【Golden Cat】, which permanently increases luck in the residence, especially luck in the direction of wealth. To give a simple example, playing cards with others at home, you are highly likely not to lose.

Because there are only a few believers of the Old Gods, it is impossible to talk to the three major academies at once, so they proceed in order. In the first round, Saint Byrons was assigned to the two believers of the 【Twin Gods】, the Zaras School of Literature waited, and the Serandel Higher School of Medicine went to see the believers of the Old God—【Gate of Yaobian】.

Miss Danni Xia De was not surprised at all that Steer ended the conversation so quickly. Before the people from the Diviner Society left, she let the fortune-tellers take the two "merchants" away and asked Ye Qing with a smile:

They are so old that the Church even sent someone to look after them. Because they are already married and have children and grandchildren, their surnames are different.

He asked in surprise, and the younger woman nodded: The younger man said, looking at Ye Qing with great expectation:

"Art—【Gold Eating】. Its function is to enhance one's physical strength and mental strength by swallowing gold.

After everyone sat down on the soft sofas, Miss Danni Xia De leaned forward slightly and chatted with them on behalf of Saint Byrons. Ye Qing also learned that they were very similar to the last high priest of the 【Earth-Shaking Worm】 sect, the old lady Ilar, but the old lady who lived near Hot Water Port was at least a Ringed Shushi herself, and she found Miss Aurora and was willing to help her keep the materials inherited from the sect through the ages.

Steer finally understood that the sales ability of this believer of the God of Wealth is far behind the Black Fog Camp of the Second Era. If you want him to spend money, those temptations are useless.

"Besides that, it will also cause gold addiction, but you can replace food by swallowing other metals. Oh, it will also cause the metallization of internal organs, but it will not affect physiological functions."

He sat down again, and the older man took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket:

The believers of the Old God 【Twin Gods】 and the believers of the Old God 【Gate of Yaobian】 now live in the Peace Church in Ye Qingying City, which is the most important large church in the entire Ye Qingying area. Although Kesais City has a smaller church scale than the cities on the south bank due to its lagging economic development, the city is quite ancient. In the occult sense, ancient sometimes means important.

He coughed:

"After our observation, you are more suitable for the following three divine arts. Please trust our judgment. Although we are cursed and have always been difficult to get rich, we are still very accurate in seeing whether others have the opportunity to get rich."

Steer accompanied Miss Danni Xia De, helping her carry bags and hold materials. The professors of the Academy were not surprised at all by Steer, the Ringed Shushi who appeared abruptly. Ye Qing was very curious about how she explained her identity.

Steer nodded:

"Art—【Golden Cat】. This Art requires our specially made golden cat statue, which we can sell to you cheaply."

"Hmm... next one."

The three parties gathered together and exchanged pleasantries. Steer also learned that the leader of the Serandel Higher School of Medicine was the 18th-tier Dean, known as the "Steel Punisher," Professor Miller Stewart, who had appeared once during the Green Lake Valley incident; the leaders of the Zaras School of Literature this time were the 18th-tier Shushi "Spirit Caller" Professor Goster, who had appeared during the Battle of Pantanal, and the Director of the Academy's Student Work Office, 18th-tier "Rune Master" Professor Keller Cynthia.

"I advise you to empty the library collection of the Academy... Time changes, everything is changing. The Golden Sect, which was once prosperous in the Second Era, has finally fallen."

"That's good, what do you want to sell me?"
