Chapter 2256
Even without looking closely, Xia De could feel the whisper elements unique to the relic from this pile of weeds and branches.
Somewhat excited, he put Little Mia on his shoulder and stepped into the overly large crow's nest. After a simple search, he found a pile of gems and metal jewelry.
Of course, there were also shiny gold coins, but unfortunately there were only two relic coins, and both were poet-level 【King's Eggs】, which made Xia De suspect whether the crow form used by Fanalius was a female crow.
At this point, Xia De had eight special coins in his hand, and the final harvest in the crow's nest was not just these.
Xia De did not want to leave this nest behind, so after searching, he used fire to ignite the already flammable pile of weeds. As abnormal black smoke rolled into the sky and the fire lasted for a full half hour, Xia De then found a ring and three black crow feathers sharper than knives in the ashes after the crow's nest burned.
Only the ring was a relic; the crow feathers had very strong demonic power remaining, which were clearly demonic materials.
Out of caution, Xia De put away the feathers, intending to give them to the doctor, and then noticed that the cat on his shoulder seemed interested in the black ring.
The band of the ring looked like black jade, and the oval face looked like a crow's eye. The band looked smooth, but there were actually some imperceptible carvings. After Xia De rubbed it with his fingertips, he read the meaning represented by the carvings:
【The reversal of blind and bright is the reflection of the essence of the soul.】
"Hmm... a very familiar sentence structure, I think I know what it is."
He thought for a moment, reached out and patted the cat's head to soothe it, then put the ring on his finger and turned to look at the scenery of the Black Forest.
Xia De's eyesight was already outstanding, and since he was at a high place and there was nothing to block his vision in the forest after the rain, this time he actually saw the scenery of the downtown Moon Bay city to the south directly, and it was incredibly clear:
"It really is this, document-level relic - Crow's Eye."
Document-level relic 【Crow's Eye】, it sounds like a magic eye but it is actually a ring. This relic is quite famous, many sharpshooters have held it, and its most outstanding effect is to give the wearer outstanding eyesight.
Wearing the ring and rubbing the face has a better effect than setting up a telescope, because the effect of this ring can even make the eyes unaffected by general fog.
And in addition to granting supernatural eyesight, this relic can also restore vision to the blind, or offset the "blindness" effect brought by other relics.
This reminded Xia De of the 【Ring of Mood】 he obtained in the Green Lake area with the help of Megan and Audrey.
The function of the poet-level relic 【Ring of Mood】 is to enhance specific emotions and offset emotional wear and tear. This can resist the negative characteristics of the 【Ring of Immortality】 "grinding emotions," but the effect of the 【Ring of Mood】 itself in resisting relic characteristics will lead to blindness.
Now 【Crow's Eye】 just happens to restrain the negative characteristics of 【Ring of Mood】, but what follows is the characteristics of 【Crow's Eye】 itself:
"If I remember correctly, the negative effects brought by 【Crow's Eye】 are mainly in two aspects.
First is 'Crow's Curiosity,' which greatly enhances the user's curiosity. This doesn't have much impact, just keep yourself in check;
The key is that this relic will bring 'Crow's Curse,' causing black feathers to gradually grow on the user, and it is almost irreversible. This has led to the fact that previous holders of 【Crow's Eye】 only held it for a short time before automatically giving it up."
【Outlander, the current intensity of the Primordial Fire can completely shield the effects of the "Crow's Curse."】
"That's good."
Xia De nodded, and then felt the cat poking him with its tail. Turning his head, the large amber eyes were indeed looking at him. Even if Xia De didn't understand cat language or mind reading, he could read its thoughts at this moment.
So Xia De patted the cat's head again:
"I knew you liked this ring, I'll let you play with it when we get back."
As long as the effect of 【Crow's Eye】 is not triggered, there is no need to worry about Little Mia suddenly turning into a "crow cat." If it's just put on the tail, then it's just a slightly dangerous ordinary toy.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed gently, and although Xia De said he wouldn't let Little Mia play with it, he was very interested in 【Crow's Eye】 himself.
Anyway, he wouldn't meet anyone else on the remote hill in the Black Forest, so he took the silver crescent-shaped jade from his pocket.
He grabbed the "jade" with his left hand and raised it in front of his body. As the "jade" glowed slightly and extended up and down, the beautiful sage-level relic - 【Star Trace】 longbow appeared in Xia De's hand.
He drew the bow and shot an arrow. This bow itself had the effect of enhancing eyesight. At this time, combined with 【Crow's Eye】, Xia De even clearly saw a man smoking by the window in the window glass of a tall building in the north of the city.
This is not just excellent eyesight; the two relics combined to play a better role, which is a classic case of relic cooperation.
Maintaining the bright silver arrow appearing in his hand, Xia De adjusted his direction, trying to explore what his eyesight limit was in this state.
However, he did not find the limit in the end, but only found that in this aiming state, not only was his eyesight improved, but his line of sight could even penetrate certain thinner substances to see behind and inside them. For example, dirty glass, water pools with floating algae, and tree crowns made of sparse leaves.
In other words, he could achieve a certain degree of perspective in this state:
"So, if I can find a higher position and snipe enemies somewhere in the city from a long distance, the other party won't know who did it until they die... that's not right either, high-energy, high-speed flying objects entering the city airspace, the church should have a reaction."
Xia De thought while continuing to spin in place:
"Hmm?"
Strange flying creatures appeared in his field of vision, and the distance from here didn't seem to be far.
Xia De then moved the bow in his hand away and looked with his own eyes, but there was nothing in the sky in that direction.
He set up the longbow again, and the thing that looked like a flying dragon appeared again, and it seemed to have noticed this side:
"Oh, so not only can it achieve a certain degree of perspective, but it can also achieve a certain degree of seeing through illusions."
Thinking in his heart, Xia De released the arrow held by his left hand, and then a silver light cut through the blue sky after the rain, passed directly through the mouth of the hybrid dragon beast rushing towards this side, and then came out from behind its tail vertebrae.
The dragon beast, which didn't know what blood it was mixed with, continued to glide in the air in its posture, and then fell into the Black Forest, startling a flock of birds and smoke.
Xia De, who was not good at using bow weapons, put away 【Star Trace】, patted Mia's little head, and put the cat away. He jumped down from the dilapidated castle and turned into a flock of red butterflies flying into the forest.
A few minutes later, when the strange ring warlock who rushed over found the fallen dragon beast in the forest, Xia De was already waiting for them beside the monster's corpse.
The two didn't say any nonsense. Four-ring life rings appeared behind the stranger's body at the same time, and then two flying moonlight rings controlled this four-ring warlock.
"Is there no one left in the 【Dragon Feast Cult】?"
Xia De asked suspiciously, but didn't ask him to answer.
After putting on the mental crystal ring and throwing two punches to give him a peaceful sleep, he wanted to take some of his blood and use 【Blood Echo】 to track the origin of this person, but before Xia De could do so, a dull sound suddenly came from the distance, and then the slightly vibrating ground made a few leaves fall onto Xia De's shoulder:
"Looks like there's no need to look for it."
Xia De jumped lightly, turned into a butterfly swarm and reached the branch, restored to human form, rubbed the 【Crow's Eye】 on his hand, and stood on the branch looking into the distance.
There was a small village deep in the forest in the distance, and the traces of the ring warlock battle were clearly spreading there. The battle should have just started. Judging from the traces of divine art reactions, one side seemed to be the ring warlocks of the Dawn Church and the Sun Church, and the other side was expected to be the 【Dragon Feast Cult】.
"What a coincidence, is the church taking action here?"
Thus, the red butterfly swarm under the sunshine flew lightly over the forest sea.
Erwin Village is a very inconspicuous small village located in the Black Forest in the northwest of Moon Bay City, and its location can only be found on the most detailed maps of the Moon Bay area.
Inconspicuous villages naturally have their own uses, such as being used as a base for biological experiments and dragon beast incubation by some inconspicuous people. But even the most inconspicuous people will occasionally be noticed, which is why the church took action this afternoon.
Of course, the joint action of the Dawn Church and the Sun Church did not achieve a crushing victory.
But this was also expected. The church had investigated in advance that an important 【Dragon Feast Ritual】 was to be held this afternoon in this inconspicuous dragon beast incubation base. Not only were some big figures in the Dragon Feast Cult present, but even the cult's most mysterious "Dragon Feast Altar" would appear here.
Therefore, the team sent by the church this time was not only led by Mr. Joshua Brooklyn, the thirteen-ring warlock "Hand of Radiance" of the local Dawn Church, but even the Chosen One, Iluna Beias, also set off as a security guarantee.
As the first large-scale action taken by the Moon Bay Diocese against the 【Dragon Feast Cult】, Iluna didn't even have time to notify Xia De before the action started.
And when she saw with her own eyes the "Dragon Feast Altar" that seemed to have been moved as a whole and the extremely eerie "Dragon Feast Ritual" at the location of the original threshing floor on the outskirts of the village, she had no mind to consider these things.
