Chapter 3119: Observer Card · Priest Ao Gu Si
The Academy had notified in advance that the corpse of the "Fate Weaver" was quite special and would not be affected by most transformation abilities. But Xia De and the doctor, who were unwilling to give up and considered themselves special, used their own methods to try, and then confirmed that it could neither be turned into a toy and carried by Xia De's "Toy Manufacturing", nor could it be turned into a black cube and taken away by the doctor's magic based on the demon's power.
Luweiya believed that this was the result of the "Fate Weaver Spider Silk" in the monster's body, which was generated based on the user's characteristics.
But fortunately, the Academy gave a special potion in advance. Priest Ao Gu Si drove the carriage to the fence on the east side of Regent Park. Xia De and the doctor carried the spider, and the two ladies used illusions to cover it on the side. Under the cover of the night, the group secretly transported the corpse to the small woods in the park in the snow.
The doctor immediately sprinkled the potion, and the giant skeleton spider corpse two people tall was melted into the size of half an adult in a puff of white smoke. The remaining part looked like a white cocoon with a vague spider shape, and for the sake of insurance, everyone chose to use the most primitive method to transport it.
The doctor carried the cocoon on his back, and under the cover of the three, climbed over the wall and sent it to the carriage. And Xia De promised that if a "Fate Weaver" appeared next time, it would be his turn to carry the spider.
"Get ready to go, sit tight!"
The doctor rented a freight carriage with a shed, and the carriage opening faced backward. After confirming that everyone was on the carriage, he drove the carriage away from the street where Regent Park was located. The movement just now was too big, and it would be too late if they didn't leave.
And in the carriage, Luweiya and Dorothy sat on the inside of the carriage, very interested in studying the melted spider corpse. "Fate Weaver Spider Silk" was useful to both of them. Whether it was used for divination or weaving the fate of stories, it was a very good material.
Xia De and Priest Ao Gu Si sat in the position near the carriage opening. They didn't close the door to facilitate observation of the rear.
At first, the two were very vigilant, but after the carriage drilled into the alley and completely left the Tobesk East District, they relaxed:
"Actually, I thought from the beginning that the Fate Weaver would likely appear in the first round. The one-fifth probability must be fake for us. Your guess of one hundred percent, even if there is some exaggeration, I think it shouldn't be much different - the number of spiders appearing tonight is less than 3, even if we are lucky."
Priest Ao Gu Si said to Xia De, and then reached into his pocket, but what he took out was not his pipe, but the card that had just been activated.
Xia De smiled and didn't respond to Priest Ao Gu Si's judgment, but he actually thought so too. After all, everyone said that as long as the doctor participated in things, it wouldn't go very smoothly. And since all five people were here this time, things wouldn't go completely smoothly.
Dorothy and Luweiya were still discussing something in a low voice, as if they were guessing whether privately intercepting a part of the spider silk would be discovered by the Academy. Xia De asked the priest:
"Is the information recorded on the observer card accurate?"
The old priest lowered his head and looked at the card with the street lamp light flashing by, and nodded slightly after a while:
"Quite accurate. It is indeed observing fate."
Among the five people in the group, although the person Priest Ao Gu Si had the best relationship with was the doctor, the person the old priest was willing to share secrets with was definitely Xia De.
He didn't mind exposing any of his privacy to Xia De, so he handed the card to Xia De, who was just about to write "I'm very curious" on his face. The Outsider smiled embarrassedly and took the small card. The back of the card was still the golden Ouroboros logo on a black background, but the blank side had been filled with content.
Looking at the card with his eyes, the surface was still flat, but when his fingertips rubbed it, Xia De felt the touch of dense skull reliefs. The background of the card was a skeleton angel with arms spread and a halo on its head. The four scorched wings almost formed an "X" symbol on the card.
Gray letters spliced together by pieces of bones were written on the card background in Delarion language with the following content—
【Name】: Rat · A · Ao Gu Si
【Race】: Human/■Envoy
【Physical State】: Decaying/Divine/Immortal
【Soul State】: Powerful/Death/Noble/Pure
【Level】: Ringed Ringed Ringed Shushi · Fifth Ring/Higher ■Envoy (Broken State)
【Legend Degree】: ■Envoy Possessor/Pious Dawn Church Clergy
【Fortune】: ↑↑
【Fate Maxim】: The day the broken body reunites, the time the doomsday horn blows
"This..."
Xia De widened his eyes in surprise:
"The workmanship of this card is truly amazing! If Luo De cards could have this kind of workmanship, even if a box of cards was 1 Jin Bang, I would buy it... buy it appropriately. What kind of technology is this that looks smooth on the surface but can be touched with bumps? And this card effect, the text composed of bones, this design sense is truly amazing! The Prophecy Association lacks this kind of card designer!"
Although Luweiya didn't know what Xia De saw, she reminded:
"If I remember correctly, the information the doctor got said that the 【Fate Observer】 card face is generally solid color, and the letters are also very ordinary print."
Because it is a derivative, the information displayed will not be as complete as that Angel-level relic. The most basic information such as name, race, body and soul state will definitely appear on the derivative, but the content displayed after activation by different people is also different."
The items on the priest's card were of course more than the information given by the Academy. But the most special one was 【Legend Degree】. But this item was not difficult to understand. "Angel Possessor" was of course part of the legend itself, and "Pious Clergy" was the legend that the priest himself cast with his life—
Like an old priest like him who served in the church as a low-level clergy all his life, if he could die without any bad records, then he was qualified to be elected as a "Saint" after death. Moreover, even for Priest Ao Gu Si who was alive now, almost everyone in the Five Gods Churches in the Tobesk Diocese had heard of his name, and almost everyone knew Priest Rat Ao Gu Si.
Legend does not necessarily have to be related to powerful combat power or great achievements in saving others. The character, creativity, or malice of mortals can also cast legends.
"I have some things I want to talk to the priest about. Do you mind using a silence spell for the time being?"
Xia De said to the two ladies inside the carriage, and they of course wouldn't mind. So Dorothy actively activated the spell, and Xia De said to the priest:
"Still remember when I encountered 【Dice Story Collection】 last year, that Angel-level relic couldn't fully display your information. At that time, it seemed to be 【Incomplete Old Day**】 (Chapter 982), but this time it almost showed all your information."
"【Dice Story Collection】's main function is not to display information, but this derivative card's main function is to explore."
The old priest took the card Xia De handed back:
"Don't worry about this. Last year, the number of angel remains we collected hadn't reached so many. This spring, we brought back the key one-third of the skull from Green Lake. Since then, the power of the angel could no longer be completely covered up, and I am not surprised by the content on the card. And look, it also says my fortune is continuing to rise."
He lowered his head to re-check his information:
"This relic derivative is quite convenient for observing the hidden diseases of the sorcerer's body and soul."
"Then what about 【Fate Maxim】? The data says that the fate maxim given by the card may be a summary of a person's fate, a guide to the future, or completely meaningless babble. Priest, what do you think this is?"
Xia De asked again, thinking of the horn blown by the angel summoned by the priest during the Battle of the Woodlands:
"What does the apocalypse have to do with the Death Messenger?"
The priest smiled and shook his head:
"If I knew, I would very much like to tell you. But I only vaguely realize now that the ancient gods have long known that doomsday will surely come, and as the first created angel, the Death Announcer Angel - Gakiel also bears a task: to blow the horn when doomsday comes."
Since the Death Announcer Angel can declare the death of mortals, it will also declare the end of the world on the final day.
"If it doesn't blow the horn, doomsday won't come?"
"Of course not."
The priest shook his head gently:
"Mortals will eventually die, and all things will eventually end. Doomsday will definitely come, regardless of whether the Death Announcer's horn is blown or not. But this angel... I don't know, but I am very sure that our practice of collecting angel remains will not let doomsday come early.
I just vaguely feel that perhaps that already broken angel can influence some things to a certain extent. But specifically what, maybe I will understand after more remains are gathered."
Xia De thought that the embers of the First Flame were only three short of being collected, so he asked again:
"Priest, based on our current collection progress, how far is it from collecting all the remains?"
The carriage began to turn under the doctor's driving, Xia De straightened his waist slightly, and the priest leaned against the carriage:
"Detective, it seems you don't know everything either. We can't collect all the angel remains, because that Death Announcer Angel is destined to be incomplete. Theoretically speaking, after obtaining the most important skull, eyes, wing bones, heart, and the remains reaching 75% completeness, it is enough.
The skull, eyes, and wing bones don't need to be particularly complete, but they are not enough now. The heart needs to be complete, and we have about 47% of the other remains now."
Xia De calculated:
"Isn't this still far away?"
The priest shook his head:
"Not far. One-third of the skull is just a little bit away from the standard; with that eyeball from the death disciple, I can roughly sense the location of the other one; the wing bones are a bit troublesome, and there is no clue yet; as for that heart..."
