Chapter 3117: Blood Lamp

After explaining the task problem, the doctor coughed again:

"There is also the problem of the relic list rewarded this time. Currently, there are 22 correspondence sorcerer groups that have confirmed to accept the task in various parts of the Old Continent, sharing a list of 210 relic names. After the task is completed, two rounds of relic distribution will be carried out, and the order of the two rounds will be determined by the result of one draw, which means that in the first round, everyone takes one piece in order, and then in the second round, everyone takes one piece again.

The list is already open now. I have taken a fancy to a very good healing relic. If everyone has no opinion, this relic will be set as our target."

The content of the relic list can be copied. Although the characteristics are not detailed, you can see the general purpose:

"Ringed Shushi-level relic 【Thirsty Blood Lamp】, it is a metal portable kerosene lamp, the handle is wrapped with scorched yellow bandages, and the spine-shaped hook at the end of the handle is connected to the black lamp body.

The fuel for this lamp is the blood of the lamp holder extracted through the spikes under those scorched yellow bandages. When the lamp is lit, it does not catch fire, but radiates blood-red light, and everyone in the light will slowly recover from injuries. The lamp is divided into four modes:

Containment mode, which is 'no-light mode', requires wrapping the lamp with black silk cloth and reciting a short poem called "Shadow Blood Sutra" to it once a week. At this time, the lamp knob pointer points upward;

'Blood Light Mode' just lets the lamp extract the blood of the lamp holder, and its healing effect is limited to physical injuries. At this time, the lamp knob pointer points to the right;

'Bone Blood Mode', requires placing a certain amount of bat bone powder in the lamp in advance. The healing effect of this mode can even achieve limb regeneration and restore physical strength to a certain extent. At this time, the lamp knob pointer points downward;

The final 'Soul Burning Mode', requires filling the lamp with a soul, but this is not allowed in the contemporary era. However, the Academy found that using 'Yin Soul Grass' combined with some precious materials related to humanity can replace the effect of the soul. I will be responsible for this."

The doctor looked at Xia De, and Xia De guessed that he might use the malice of humanity extracted from "Human Pus".

"The lamp in soul-burning mode can effectively treat mental and soul injuries. At this time, the lamp knob pointer points to the left."

"This is a group healing relic, and the effect is indeed quite good. Even among Ringed Shushi-level relics, this is a very outstanding healing relic."

Luweiya praised:

"But there are two problems now. First, what is the negative characteristic?"

"High probability of infecting blood thirst. I know this curse-like disease is very troublesome, but doesn't Xia De have a relic that can resist blood thirst?"

The doctor asked Xia De, and Xia De nodded. During the Miburg incident, the blood clan holy relic that summoned the "God of Blood" who loved drinking, the Sage-level relic 【Blood-Sucking Ring】 that could transform species, fell into his hands. That relic had the negative characteristic of blood thirst. But later he got the 【Plague Doctor Ring】, which could resist blood thirst, but unfortunately it couldn't be used by non-human species like cats:

"【Plague Doctor Ring】 is with me, and it can be taken out when using the lamp. But the second problem is, 【Thirsty Blood Lamp】 has such outstanding effects, can our group really get it?"

The doctor immediately smiled:

"Don't worry about this. The effects of this batch of relics brought out by the Academy are all quite good. The famous Ringed Shushi-level relic 【Nurgle Gourd】 was also brought out, and that is a space-type relic. Although the one we took a fancy to is excellent in the healing field, it is not the most outstanding among all relics. As long as the luck is not particularly bad, there should be no problem."

Priest Ao Gu Si wiped his pipe and asked suspiciously:

"Since we are talking about luck... in the final drawing session, do the group leaders draw?"

"No, the Academy draws, and then announces the results to us. Speaking of which, Detective, after the task is completed, you can visit your teacher more."

The doctor "hinted", but this should actually be considered an explicit hint.

The five people decided to distribute the remaining relic and the huge sum of 3000 pounds from the task reward after the task was completed. Except for Xia De, who had too many dangerous items at home, everyone was very interested in that relic. After all, the Academy was indeed generous this time.

After discussing the action plan on Tuesday, everyone went to make their own preparations. The planned duration of this experiment was only about three hours, so Xia De didn't have to specifically find someone to watch the cat at home at night.

And after Dean heard from Amelia that Xia De's group participated in this experiment involving Angel-level relics, she specifically called him to the library on Tuesday night:

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't participate in dangerous activities before the Year-End Festival?"

"Is this activity dangerous?"

"After all, it is an Angel-level relic whose full characteristics have not been figured out. Even if you only touch the derivatives, the danger level of this activity is still quite high."

So the red-haired administrator lady suggested:

"Do you want me to send Amelia to help you? Having one more Chosen One as a companion will be safer after all."

Xia De shook his head quickly:

"This small matter doesn't need to be so serious, and the five of us in the group have also grown up after experiencing various battles and events... Speaking of which, did you tell Amelia that the Landbird thesis can deduct credits? I heard her say that the exam time for Academy students is arranged in the week before the Year-End Festival, and today is already the 16th of this month."

The exam week for correspondence students is arranged after the Year-End Festival.

The sorceress smiled and shook her head:

"Not yet, I'll tell her tomorrow. But I see that your review time recently is also very tight, so is there still time this month for me to... test your learning progress?"

Xia De, sitting on the short sofa on the side, thought for a while:

"Luweiya and Dorothy are both going back to prepare for tomorrow's action tonight, Galina said this morning that she was going to visit the disaster-stricken people in the south on behalf of the royal family with Queen Diana and will return to Tobesk on the weekend, Princess Lei Qianya is not feeling very well these days..."

He petted the cat and looked at Dean:

"Do you have other arrangements tonight?"

"Not for the time being, otherwise could I be so leisurely looking for you to have tea?"

She smiled reservedly, and Xia De nodded:

"Last time I said I would take the initiative to invite you to my house, tonight is a good opportunity. Do you want to go to my place for a turn? I will treat you well."

The red-haired sorceress blushed because of her imagination in this second:

"Alright then, I accept the invitation. I'll find a space-type relic and set off. Speaking of which, I seem to have not been in your bedroom... Is your bed comfortable?"

There was a smile and some other emotions in her rose-red eyes. Xia De was quite confident about this. Many girls had said that it was very good:

"Yes, my bedroom is very good. Mia and I both think so."

The administrator lady unconsciously shook her legs under her skirt:

"Just the bedroom?"

Xia De then remembered the things he did with Sylvia in the high tower of the Fatumunster Mountains at the beginning of the month:

"I will introduce it to you in detail."

(Little Mia is running...)

"It was clearly stopped snowing during the day, but it started snowing again at night as expected."

At seven o'clock on Wednesday night, Xia De, wearing a hat, a scarf, and a coat, climbed over the fence on the outside of "Regent Park" in the east city, crossed the woods, stepped over the grass, and slid along the slope to the artificial lake where the witches once told each other "jokes" (Chapter 1020), Dr. Shi Nai De, Priest Ao Gu Si, and Luweiya had already arrived.

Like Xia De, the doctor wearing a black coat was complaining about the weather to the priest, while the old man was wearing a double-breasted long coat with a wide lapel that reached his knees. It looked like a woolen material, and the style was very similar to the long robe of the clergy.

As for Luweiya, who was flipping divination cards, and Dorothy, who followed Xia De, the girls were wearing fur-trimmed cold-proof cloaks. Because it was a group task, there was no need to dress too gorgeously, so they were all wearing black and gray skirts, and brown non-slip long boots on their feet.

"Doctor, where is the carriage parked? When the writer and I came just now, we didn't see it nearby."

"It's not parked around Regent Park. I'm afraid of being seen by the patrolling police."

Seeing that the last two arrived, the doctor answered Xia De's question while taking off his gloves and taking out the poem manuscript page he held as the group leader.

Regent Park is not open on winter nights, so only sporadic street lamps that allow gatekeepers and night patrollers to see the road are lit inside. The dark clouds in the snowy sky covered the moon and the stars, so the lighting conditions here were extremely poor. Relying on his dark vision, the doctor looked at the content on the paper and announced to everyone:

"Then this task codenamed 'Winter Card Game' officially begins. Since there is still time, I will emphasize the precautions again:

Each activation of the derivative has a one-fifth possibility of producing a monster called 'Fate Weaver';

Don't make too much noise. The diviner just told me that the Sun Church and the Peace Church both have big moves in the city tonight;

The task location and time must be very accurate, so in order not to miss the time, some extraordinary means are allowed during the task."

The other four nodded to show they understood. The doctor didn't like to give long speeches, so after saying this, he took out his pocket watch again:

"There are still five minutes, and our group's first round of experimental tests begins—first is the priest."

"I'm ready."

"Then diviner, confirm the task items with everyone."

"No problem."

Luweiya said, took out a brown paper envelope from her pocket, signaled everyone to check that the seal was fine, and then opened it. Five blank cards slightly smaller than the Luo De cards slid out.
