Chapter 627: Cassandra's Mission

Third, 【Death Messenger's Scythe】, an active attack strange spell.

This strange spell is extremely similar to Xia De's 【Moonlight Greatsword】, both are spiritual weapons summoned from the void, that is, weapons composed of elements, between entity and non-entity.

The characteristic of Xia De's 【Moonlight Greatsword】 is extreme sharpness and special damage to evil creatures, while this 【Death Messenger's Scythe】 is to hinder wound healing and special damage to undead and ghost creatures.

This kind of strange spell is usually extremely precious, because the strange spell effect will increase significantly with the Ring Mage's own level, and it is very easy to produce chain effects with other spiritual runes possessed by the Ring Mage himself. If it weren't for Priest Ao Gu Si's willingness to provide it for free, Xia De would at least have to take out material fees not lower than rescuing the priest to see the information of this strange spell.

"This is very interesting."

Although Xia De already has 【Moonlight Greatsword】, and he himself has a very strong preference for sword-type weapons, it is not bad to master one more weapon. The scythe also meets the application range of 【Blade of Chaotic Time and Space】, and the length of the scythe is obviously longer than 【Moonlight Greatsword】.

"Learning conditions besides spiritual runes, also require having a near-death experience. This is simple, I even truly stepped into death. And also, need casting materials, a small piece of black cloth, oh, this is really cheap."

Xia De turned the paper to the next page:

"Ritual materials, 30 pounds of black crystal (about 13.6kg), a copy of the dead's imprint, two deep-sea undead fish, Claire special forged steel..."

Except for black crystal, Xia De hadn't even heard of the others. So he skipped the directory of up to 17 materials and looked directly at the final valuation:

"Most materials are difficult to circulate in the market, so price estimation is difficult. But if you really have a way to get these materials, then at least you have to spend five-digit pounds?"

Xia De didn't need to count with his fingers to know that "five digits" refers to ten thousand. And since the outsider came to this world, he hadn't even seen a transaction in "ten thousand pounds."

He picked up the apple wine bought for 3 pence on the side and took a small sip:

"It's a pity that the wallet doesn't allow it. But this strange spell is really good. After having money, you can consider learning it."

Fourth, 【Guide Death】, an active strange spell, but it is not aggressive, and learning this strange spell, besides needing non-enlightenment spiritual runes related to 【Death】, also needs any kind of spiritual runes related to 【Moon】.

This is a strange spell related to the concept of "Dark Moon" mentioned by Sister Daifulin.

Using the strange spell will not have any external sound and light performance, and the effects are a total of two.

During combat, it can significantly increase the damage to undead and ghost creatures during use, and using this strange spell under the moonlight will increase the effect.

And when facing souls who stay and don't want to leave, using the strange spell, you can know the thoughts of the soul through touch, and even obtain partial memory fragments. For weaker souls, you can directly guide them to continue walking, and no longer need to let them figure it out and leave on their own like Xia De faced the two ghosts in the cemetery.

This effect is somewhat similar to the talent of Sister Daifulin herself, but the sister only needs to "look" to understand the thoughts of the soul, while this strange spell requires the soul not to resist, and also needs to touch it by hand.

"This is very good. Combined with the quasi-psychic effect of 【Soul Echo】, after encountering corpses in the future, I can know more things."

Xia De thought to himself, sitting in the corner of the small tavern, picking up the wine glass and taking another sip. This time it was apple wine again, because the apple wine in Midhillburg this season is very famous and belongs to the local specialty:

"And, increasing the damage to undead creatures, for powerful souls, it is better to say 'forced death' than 'guide death'."

Not only that, once 【Soul Echo】, 【Mind Blast】, and 【Guide Death】 are combined, Xia De can't imagine how interesting the effect will be.

【Next time it is foggy, you can go into the mountain and try it.】

"No, no, no, I don't have such great curiosity yet."

Although it is not as good as 【Death Messenger's Scythe】, this strange spell is indeed good.

Moreover, this strange spell, in a strict sense, can be completely integrated into the Ring Mage power system that Xia De has built so far. His current combat is centered on 【Silver Moon】, with 【Time and Space】 as assistance. Guide Death successfully connects death with the silver moon, and it will be easily affected by other strange spells centered on 【Silver Moon】 in the future, and even produce evolutionary phenomena similar to 【Blood Echo】.

Looking at the learning conditions and ritual materials again, there is no problem. But Xia De does not intend to gather materials in Midhillburg. The learning materials contain a large number of undead and corpse materials, and Xia De is a bit worried

In any case, he had familiar places in Tobesk, so he might as well go to Mr. Kopusi's gravedigger hut; perhaps the other party would give a discount for Dorothy's sake.

Having selected the miracle he wanted to learn, Xia De went to the Home of the Blind and asked Ms. Misier to help notify Sister Daifulin, saying he had important matters to discuss.

Thus, Xia De met Sister Daifulin again on the third floor of the Cassandra Auction House on Saint Kara Avenue, and the Great Witch Granny Cassandra was naturally there too, as this was her property after all.

Since Sister Daifulin chose this place for their meeting, she likely did not mind the witch hearing the upcoming news, so Xia De handed the information written by Priest Priest Ao Gu Si to them.

The aged witch and the gray-haired nun watched in silence, while the auction house maids provided tea and snacks for Xia De. The maids who could appear on such occasions were all Granny Cassandra's confidantes, and all were Ringed Shushi with witch powers.

And as the oldest living Great Witch, the quality of Granny Cassandra's followers was clearly higher than those around Miss Miss Jia Lin Na... Xia De even discovered that the brown-haired maid pouring his tea was actually a Shushi of at least the 7th Ring.

"Mr. Hamilton, where did you get this from?"

After a long while, the old witch asked.

Xia De shook his head:

"I can guarantee the information is absolutely correct. I think even Miss Miss Jia Lin Na would not ask about the origin of this data."

Seeing him bring up Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, Granny Cassandra did not ask further.

"Sister Daifulin, I hope you can pass this information to the Orthodox Church. As for whether to get benefits from the Church, that is not my concern."

This was not considered a betrayal of the Church for Priest Priest Ao Gu Si; both he and Xia De were believers of Mr. Dawn, while those responsible for the Midhillburg incident were believers of the God of Nature, the 【Lord of All Things】, and those were heretics.

"Then, what do you wish to obtain from me?"

The gray-haired nun asked, placing the document on the coffee table in front of her, her hands folded on her lap. Although she looked only in her twenties, her temperament was like that of a wise person who had seen through everything.

"You helped me rescue Priest Priest Ao Gu Si without making me pay any price. I think, just as you once said, kindness is a bond; if passed on continuously, it will make the world a better place."

Xia De said with a smile, and the nun nodded:

"On the weekend, I will send a type of special blood to the Home of the Blind; remember to go and collect it."

"Alright."

This time, Xia De did not refuse.

The information provided by Priest Priest Ao Gu Si seemed exceptionally important to the nun, so she left with the documents. Xia De had intended to take his leave as well, but Granny Cassandra called him back:

"Wait, young man, I have some matters to discuss with you."

Her expression was exceptionally kind.

"Please go ahead."

"Don't worry, I just want to ask you, would you like to earn some gold pounds?"

Xia De, who had been short of money recently, naturally wanted to agree immediately, but he still looked at her hesitantly:

"Sorry, may I ask what you need me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous matter. Miss Jia Lin Na once praised you, saying you are a very capable detective, so I would like to commission you to go to the Midhillburg Mechanical Academy to investigate the whereabouts of an antique. Professor of Folklore Mr. John Deng En is an old friend of mine; you can go find him first, and he will tell you the whole story."

"Folklore?"

Xia De happened to want to visit the local folklore professor to learn about the twin worship, so these two things could be done together.

"Is that antique an ordinary item?"

"Yes, otherwise I would have sent the Ringed Shushi around me to do it."

Although Granny Cassandra was only the twelfth seat of the Witch Council, she, like Miss Miss Jia Lin Na and Miss Afurola, had her own force of Ringed Shushi.

"No problem."

"Then for the reward, I will also give you a type of special blood. Although some blood is special, it is not worth much."

Although Xia De only needed one type of blood for the final banquet, and Sister Daifulin had already promised to provide it, just as there were benefits to bringing an extra type of blood to the second banquet, it would surely be a good thing to bring an extra type of blood to the final one.

"No problem."

He had originally not decided whether to go into the mountains to find the Witcher's sword this afternoon or to find the folklore professor first, but now he didn't need to consider it.

"However, the Twin Gods... although the Old Gods have departed, perhaps the power of that god could solve the problems on Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy."

The blonde Miss Writer and the red-haired Princess were not twins in the sense of blood relations, but in Xia De's view, even real twins did not have such a close connection as they did.

Thinking of this, Xia De became even more interested in learning about that "Twin God." Even if this was of no help in understanding the secrets of Midhillburg, finding the third Chosen One, or even finding new divinity, being able to help Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy was something Xia De had always wanted to do.
