Whispering Verse

"What kind of demon is it? Is it powerful? What's the backstory? Can we deal with it?"

Originally, it was only speculation that Stone Oxenfurt was related to the devil, but now it is certain that Shade's inspiration is still as good as ever.

"Detective, this potion is only used to detect the power of demons. It does not have such a complicated identification function. Besides, the medal is not necessarily placed by the demon. It may just be some kind of powerful demon passing nearby."

The doctor waved his hand and picked up the third-level combat hero badge with a serious look on his face:

"Tell me carefully about your recent encounters. If you can, describe all the details."

Shade then described in detail his relationship with Stone Oxenfurt, from the initial discovery of the ring at the bottom of the river, to playing cards at Count Granger's banquet, to visiting Oxenfurt Manor alone and seeing strange things. The servant and the veiled Marine Oxenfurt finally shook hands in front of the burning warehouse to agree on three items and clues to [Origin Earth]. He told almost all the details he knew, even including Old John. Comments on the "jackpot" obtained in the horse riding competition, which is the relic of Stonewell Kingdom, and Tifa's comment on the outdated maid dress.

There are more wrinkles on the doctor’s brow:

"You made a good judgment, and you were right not to let Anat help you divination rashly. This is a very typical devil's behavior, said Haise Oxenfurt. Her husband almost never loses? I guess you understand. , Oxenfurt himself should not be an evil spirit demon from the third era, but there is a high probability that he signed a contract with the devil.

One of the common sense of ring magicians is that you should never sign any form of contract with the devil, otherwise even the border decoration of the contract paper may deceive the souls of mortals. "Cherish the soul and stay away from the devil" is what Miss Feliana said If so.

"What kind of demon could it be?"

Shade asked again, and the doctor still shook his head:

"With only these clues, we can't guess who the target is. Moreover, judging from your description, the devil's plan and conspiracy against the Oxenfurt family most likely started with the family's fall a hundred years ago, otherwise it would be impossible to Explain the strangeness of that manor...this time the opponent is quite powerful."

Shade added:

"Not only is he powerful, he is also quite cautious. I have been in contact with Oxenfurt so many times, but I have never been able to detect anything unusual about him, let alone where the devil's true form is."

The two were silent for a while, and Shade asked again:

"Doctor, are you confident about this kind of enemy?"

"By confirming the identity of the other party, I can rely on knowledge to make targeted judgments."

The doctor pointed to his head: "Besides, the good thing now is that the devil is very cautious, and you are also very cautious. The devil hiding in the Randall Valley does not know that you have discovered him, let alone my existence. Speaking of which, the Randall River Valley is so far away from here, so I really don’t have a good way to go there directly.”

"It doesn't matter, I still have a Keeper-level relic here [Magician's Escape Box]."

This relic was originally found by Granny Cassandra so that Helen and Grace could appear in Saint Teresa Square. The best requirement for using the box is a high-level warlock, and it should not be used more than once every six months. Although the doctor currently only has six rings, considering his powerful body and soul, there is no problem in using this relic. However, after using it, the doctor will need to return from the Randall Valley by car. …

He described the properties of the relic in detail, and the doctor agreed that it could be used:

"But I can't go there now. The demon you encountered this time has not been sealed, and it is very likely that it is in its peak state. Once I appear in the Randall Valley, there is a high possibility that I will be directly discovered by the other party. Therefore, the identity of the other party must be determined. , formulate the best action plan before taking action, and ensure a one-hit kill."

"So, I still need to collect more information. Yes, we must be very careful when dealing with this kind of enemy. Even if we can fight, once we disturb the opponent in advance and let the opponent leave the Randall Valley, it will be very troublesome to track."

Shade nodded. As for this demon having nothing to do with him, so he just ignored it. That was impossible. He must verify the authenticity of the news about [Creation·Earth], and the doctor also needs to

Want new demons to increase their power.

For Shade, who knows the end is coming, every ounce of strength is needed.

The doctor is still thinking about the next action:

"I have an intuition that since you, armed with Fourth Age witcher equipment, appear in the Randall Valley and are involved in this matter, the devil's horrific conspiracy will probably begin soon. So, it will take half a month to arrive. In a month, you must determine who the devil is, and you must ensure that you do not reveal yourself during this period. This is actually not difficult. I bet that Stone Oxenfurt is very interested in the devil who signed a contract with him. There is also dissatisfaction. You said that he had sought help from the auction house, and the three items he agreed to find with you seemed to me like some kind of weird ritual..."

"Speaking of which, Stone Oxenfurt has a very good relationship with William Anjou, and his men also helped the prince discover overseas silver mines."

When talking about this topic, the doctor waved his hand:

"The devil's common tricks, I can guarantee that half the probability is nothing, and the other half probability is devil's silver cast by the devil's power."

The so-called "Demon Silver" is a type of "Devil Metal". It is a precious metal cast from the souls of innocent people through bloody sacrifices. Using this metal will immediately be stained with sin, so that the soul will become a demon. . This is a method that only extremely high-level demons can use, and "Devil Metal" is a prohibited trading item in today's Sixth Age, with the highest level of prohibition.

"It seems that the unknown demon has tried to reach out to the human royal family.

The doctor concluded, looking even more worried:

"Don't look at the demons in the story. As long as they plot a conspiracy, they can sweep the entire world. But in fact, in the sixth era now, demons who have the ability to infiltrate units like the country are already very rare. After all, most demons are in the third era. After the end of the era, they will either be sealed or still sleeping. Shade, we must act quickly. Even if I cannot devour the other party in the end, we must stop the other party's conspiracy."

As a result, Shade has one more task in the Randall Valley, and the task in his hand, no matter which one is not handled well, may lead to a catastrophe.

"Doctor, what should I do? Although I hold the [Night Watch] and [Demon Hunting Seal], you look like a real demon hunter."...

The doctor coughed sheepishly:

"Don't call me that. Oh, you must note that you must not hold these two items in front of Oxenfurt, at least not before the decisive battle. You must complete two things. One, know where the devil is hiding or know how to Let him appear and confirm the identity of the devil so that we can make preparations and plans more easily."

He threw the battle hero badge to Shade:

"So, you still need to contact Oxenfurt again. It is best to return to that weird manor. Don't you want to return the badge? Just take this opportunity. You can properly expose your power in front of Oxenfurt. , I think the other party has guessed that there is a high possibility that you are a ring warlock. After all, you defeated him. Demons and mortals have different views on ring warlocks. Whether they have extraordinary power or not, in their view, it only means whether they can hunt or not. It becomes troublesome.”

"So do you have any useful detectors that I can use to collect information in just one trip?"

Shade asked expectantly and raised the cat:

"It better not be bigger than this. I can hide it in my hat."

"Meow~"

The cat meowed.

"If there were such useful alchemical items, the problem of evil spirits and demons would not have persisted from the Third Age to the present day."

The doctor held out his finger to Shade:

"It's best not to do any unnecessary things. Without confirming the identity and strength of the other party, any unnecessary things may lead to the exposure of our intentions. Shade, don't underestimate these ancient ones who have survived from the Third Era. They Quite dangerous."

Then the doctor changed his tone again:

"Of course, I can't really let you go directly, it will only waste our time. Let me teach you a first

The special power that the witchers of the third era only had was transformed into a learnable thaumaturgy by the witches of the fifth era. This is also something I gained from demonic knowledge, but unfortunately I couldn't learn it myself. But I want to warn you, if you have the weapons and seals of a witcher, if you learn the power of a witcher again, this will lead to your getting more and more involved with demons, and the possibility of encountering demons will increase. "

He looked at Xia De seriously. Unexpectedly, Xia De asked:

"Am I not deeply involved with the devil now, and the possibility of encountering the devil is low? Besides, the other thing I did in the Randall Valley was much more terrifying than the ancient devil. If I want to solve that devil, It’s also to prevent it from interfering with what I’m doing.”

"It's hard to imagine what you are doing, remember to be safe."

The doctor muttered and then asked:

"[Hunter][Hunting][Eye][Temple][Guard][Peep][Wisdom][Revenge], which one of these eight spiritual runes do you have? Any one of the four elements will do."

"None of them, but I have the Enlightenment Rune [Water of Wisdom]. Yes, it's that ancient fairy tale."

This spiritual rune corresponds to Shade's fourth fairy tale mystery lock.

"It should be okay."

The doctor said as he picked up the notebook on the table, wrote the information about thaumaturgy on it and handed it to Shade:

"This is it, thaumaturgy - [Seeing Demon]. This is a thaumaturgy about the eyes. When thaumaturgy is actively turned on, if you encounter demonic power, some runes and illusions related to it will appear in your field of vision. So I need you Get as close to the opponent's power as possible and keep thaumaturgy turned on to get more clues."
