Chapter 623: Itch Spell

~11 min read 2,028 words

"Death eruption will impact three channels at the same time."

Talking about this topic, the priest looked worried:

"I am not a church Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi, so I cannot know more specific situations. Judging from the known situation, the local Nature Church believes that all three channels may have problems."

The 【Nature and Evil Thought Church】 is the church among the Five Gods Churches that first preached locally, and all the seals of the door at the foot of the mountain are carried out with the Nature Church as the main body. Even the real location of the Nature Church corresponds to the location of the door in the boundary.

"All may have problems..."

Xia De has no way to deal with this kind of thing, but fortunately, this is not a responsibility he needs to bear. The only thing he needs to do in this city is to collect enough intelligence, wait for Lu Lu Weiya to divine the information about the third Chosen One, and use the preparation to find the target in one fell swoop.

"The door at the top of the mountain in the boundary is suppressed by an ancient existence, and the door on the mountainside is unknown due to the concealment of the Witch Emperors. The church also knows this information, but it is clear that they don't know as much as I do."

This is not because the church is incompetent or Priest Ao Gu Si is too powerful. Xia De thinks this is purely because the Level 0 relic on the priest that is suspected to be related to the "Primordial Angel" is too powerful.

Taking advantage of the fact that the food had not been served, Xia De expressed his thoughts:

"Priest, I have also met some friends in Midhillburg these days. After eating, let's go to the House of the Blind. They are actually the local stronghold of the 【Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order】."

"Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order? You mean those who use eye masks... Oh, so the House of the Blind is the stronghold of that order!"

The priest said in surprise. He knew the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order, but obviously didn't connect the two.

"You can hand over the intelligence you have now, and the intelligence you master in the future, to the 【Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order】, and the order will certainly be able to find a way to notify the church."

"That's not bad... but I'd better not show up."

Priest Ao Gu Si shook his head, took out his pipe from his pocket, but put it back after thinking about it:

"I will hand over everything I know to you, and you will hand it over to the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order. After all, I am a priest of the Orthodox Church, so I'd better not take the initiative to contact them... However, are you sure you know the high-level members of the order?"

"Yes, I met the leader of the order this morning. When rescuing you, the Eleventh Ring Sister also provided great help."

Xia De nodded, and the priest looked at him in surprise:

"You have only been here for a week, right? Detective, you really are... making friends widely."

"Don't talk about this."

Xia De shook his head and skipped this topic, not wanting to involve the witches because of the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi Order:

"Unknown Level relics are really dangerous."

He sighed softly. The priest wanted to speak, but the waiter pushed the dining cart in again. After he left, the priest continued:

"In fact, even a Poet-level (Level 5) relic with the lowest danger level can bring us great trouble. Do you know the Poet-level relic 【Itch Spell】?"

"Don't know."

Xia De shook his head, looking very interested, so the priest said:

"This is a relic that exists in the form of information, similar to a curse. Specifically, the back of the cursed person will be very itchy, and once someone sees him reaching out to scratch, they will also feel itchy, thus spreading the curse continuously. In the later stage, even if someone mentions that they feel their back is a bit itchy, or even records this in a book, the curse will spread."

"Oh, it sounds really terrible."

Xia De rubbed his back against the back of the chair unobtrusively. The priest mentioned this, and he subconsciously thought about whether he felt his back was itchy, and then he really felt his back was a bit itchy.

"Such a vicious curse, is it only Poet-level?"

"Yes, because the characteristic is just itching. And it's the kind of itching that can be relieved very comfortably by scratching... Detective, what are you doing?"

Xia De, who was quietly rubbing against the back of the chair, shook his head:

"Nothing, then how to treat this kind of curse, you can't be itchy on your back for a lifetime, right?"

"No, no need. Just find the first person affected by the relic, and then peel off the skin on his back and make it into leather by tanning, so that the information will be left on that piece of human skin. It is very sad that the source of the 【Itch Spell】 curse known to exist has reached 193, and this is still what the church knows."

The priest shrugged:

"Even if you can't find the source, as long as two-thirds of the people infected with the curse apply a special ointment regularly, the infectious characteristics of this relic can disappear, so the harm is indeed not great. Oh, Ring Mages generally have varying degrees of resistance to Poet-level relics, so this curse is ineffective against high-level Ring Mages. Oh, and there is also the strange spell 【Itch Spell】 developed based on this relic. This prank strange spell is ineffective against all Ring Mages, but those who learn this strange spell are really boring."

Xia De, who felt that his back was still a bit itchy, swore that he must upgrade to a high ring as soon as possible to prevent encountering these curses that are not dangerous but very annoying in this dangerous world.

The two agreed to meet again tomorrow, and the priest considered what strange spell Xia De's spiritual rune 【True Death】 could be associated with, and then took advantage of tonight to write down everything he had mastered about the boundary and death eruption. But the priest still has church work to do. These elderly clergy who have been summoned have begun basic ritual training, so they cannot meet Xia De in Midhillburg often in the future.

However, it is now completely certain that the purpose of summoning Priest Ao Gu Si to Midhillburg is really for a large-scale divine ritual.

And when the priest took out his wallet to pay for this sumptuous dinner, Xia De, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, remembered another thing:

"Oh, priest, you owe the doctor 3000 pounds."

Priest Ao Gu Si, who was counting the tips, shook his hand, almost dropping the coins he was holding in his palm to the ground:

"Ah?"

He looked at the young detective opposite in surprise, as if hoping he could say this was a joke.

Xia De reminded:

"This is the cost of opening the door. You know, although my friends can help for free, the tool money, you can't let them pay for nothing, right?"

"This... yes."

The priest said tremblingly:

"It seems I have to save some money recently."

Except for Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi learning, Priest Ao Gu Si has no major expenses. He is just used to donating his money. And this 3000 pounds is not a small amount. It seems that the priest has planned to return to Tobesk and start considering selling potions on the local black market.

"However, where did the doctor get so much liquid capital? Why did he take it himself? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't four people take it?"

The priest thought of this again. Xia De still remembered that others warned him that he must not tell the old man in front of him about their collective betting on gambling:

"The doctor made a lot of money from investment some time ago."

He said vaguely.

"What investment can make the doctor earn so much?"

The priest was very curious, pressed the tip under the cup, and the two stood up from the chairs, and the waiter led the way to send them away.

"It's related to a small noble."

Xia De's eyes drifted:

"And it's also related to foreigners. Do you know the Principality of Sete?"

"Know, it's not far from here."

The priest nodded:

"So it's cross-border business."

"You can say that, and there are quite a few foreigners. It is specifically related to some special wooden materials and ink. It is said that this business has a great impact."

"The doctor dares to get involved in this kind of thing? As far as I know, the risk of this kind of business is not small."

Walking down the stairs, the priest took out his pipe from his pocket.

"He received internal news and believes that the possibility of profit from this investment is over 60%."

"This is really good. It seems that the doctor really earned a lot. This time Bill is really lucky."

The two said as they walked out of the restaurant, almost at the same time looking up at the star sea above Sikar Mountain.

On the outskirts of Midhillburg city, at the edge of the mountain, this star sea is incomparably dazzling and incomparably brilliant.

(Little Miya is running...)

Xia De did not return to Midhillburg city with the priest, but went directly into the mountain and returned to the ruined tower in the mountain. When he returned to the basement of his home through the basement of the ruined tower, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Coming to the first floor and seeing the lights on in the hall, he knew that Lu Lu Weiya, who was fiddling with the stargazing equipment, hadn't left yet. And when Xia De came to the second floor and caught the cat that was excitedly pouncing on him, he saw the seventeen-year-old girl was also there:

"Good evening, Lu Lu Weiya, good evening, Yi Lu Na."

Xia De greeted, seeing the two ladies sitting on the sofa playing chess. There are card games like Rhoder cards in this world, and of course there are chess games, but they are relatively less popular.

"Good evening, Xia De. Did you see Priest Ao Gu Si?"

Lu Lu Weiya asked, staring at the chessboard. Xia De took a look and found that he didn't understand this kind of chess at all, so he hugged the cat that was excitedly wanting to jump up and rub its little head against his chin and walked into the bedroom to change into clothes to wear at home.

"Saw him, Priest Ao Gu Si looks in good condition, but Midhillburg's problem is big. If it's not handled well, it will be an accident no less than 'Sea Return'. I learned about local folklore and legends today, and those stories are very interesting."

"I thought you played Rhoder cards in Midhillburg for a day. Don't those card players like to play cards in other places?"

The brown-haired girl asked. Now she is at a disadvantage on the chessboard, and Lu Lu Weiya's chess skills are very superb:

"However, why do you always encounter such dangerous things?"

"This is also my question all along."

Lu Lu Weiya said, picked up her white chess piece, kicked Yi Lu Na's largest soldier piece off the chessboard, and the latter immediately covered her face:

"Lost again, Lu Lu Weiya, you won't divine how I will play chess in advance, right?"

"I won't do such a boring thing."

Lu Lu Weiya stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare tea. Priest Ao Gu Si is safe and sound, and Xia De can free up his hands in Midhillburg. Therefore, the three will discuss the third Chosen One tonight. ===== CHAPTER 624 =====
