Whispering Verse

Iluna and Shade, who was holding Mia, immediately chased towards the door. Because the stairs were a little far away from the hotel door, so although the businessman started running one step ahead, the three of them arrived almost one after the other. In the Anthem Square outside the hotel.

It was already morning, and the square was very busy with people coming and going. The businessman did not show his extraordinary strength or plunge into the crowd. Instead, he turned around and ran into the alley on the side of the hotel.

Iluna also chased Shade into the alley, but as soon as she turned in, she saw the businessman holding the opened suitcase and showing her the goods in the box:

"Ma'am, do you want to buy medicine?"

Between the lid of the suitcase and the box itself, simple pulleys and levers were used to form three layers of open metal brackets. Each layer of brackets had small grids welded out of metal, which contained colorful pills of various shapes.

Iluna's eyes widened suddenly, and for a moment she felt a bone-chilling cold wind passing through the alley, and then she felt that her body seemed to have become much weaker. Countless cold hands in the void grabbed her arm, and then those cold feelings spread throughout her body. Influenza, enteritis, bronchitis, dragon poison, multiple diseases appeared at the same time, but she was exempted from them one by one because of her strong physical fitness.

Some kind of malice was staring at her as the suitcase opened. Iluna didn't want to answer at first, but she said uncontrollably:

"I'm healthy and I don't need pills."

The counterfeit medicine dealer continued to ask:

"Are you really not sick? If you think about it carefully, if you take two more steps toward me, you might actually be sick."

After he finished speaking, Iluna actually wanted to take two steps, and the nameless malice became stronger. She was really thinking about whether she had any disease, and then thought that she was worried about her weight recently, so she paid attention to every meal, and often went to the church's underground venue and the Carina Manor outside the city to practice thaumaturgy to lose weight. Body fat stores:

"I may have had some lately."

At this time, Shade had also arrived. Because he didn't know the characteristics of the other party's relic, he reached out and covered Iluna's mouth to prevent her from continuing to speak.

Iluna is one level higher than Shad. Although her physical quality is not as exaggerated as Shad, if she really wrestles with Shad, the time wasted will be enough for the counterfeit medicine dealer to escape. Fortunately, Iluna was not controlled deeply, and she had no intention of moving, so her hands were easily bound by the silver halo flying out of Shade's hand, and then she remained motionless.

So the counterfeit medicine dealer, half of his face covered with bandages, pointed the open suitcase at Shade:

"Sir, do you want to buy medicine?"

"Meow?"

Mia's little head peeked out from between the buttons of Shade's windbreaker, and then Shade forcefully pushed her back. The cat is of a different gender than Shade, so it's not her the relic is asking about.

Like Iluna just now, Shade also felt the bone-chilling wind blowing. While his body felt extremely weak, the invisible malice in the void grabbed him with one hand after another.

"Do I have a disease?"

Xia De also asked himself in his heart.

【I don’t think so. 】

"I'm in good health."

Shade said in a relaxed tone. As he spoke, he reached into his pocket. When the counterfeit medicine dealer wanted to suggest that he take a few steps, Shade had already removed the [Epidemic Doctor Ring] that he had taken off Mia's tail this morning. ] took it out and put it on his finger:

“I thought that even if I had physical problems, this ring would help me.”

He shook the ring on his finger. The businessman seemed stunned for a moment, then closed the box dejectedly, and all illusions and malice disappeared. The foul words graffiti on the walls and the smell of garbage under the alley walls became so real and clear at this moment that Shade hated this kind of alley.

There was only a small abnormal black shadow at the feet of the "counterfeit medicine dealer", and something was moving in the black shadow:

"That damn plague doctor, even if he dies, he still wants to keep his ring and steal my business."

"Do you know the original owner of [Epidemic Doctor Ring]?"

"We know each other. We met in the Fourth Era, but that was a long time ago."

The businessman stepped back as he spoke:

"Now that you have this ring, I won't sell you pills. Goodbye~"

As she spoke, she was about to retreat into the inexplicable darkness that appeared behind her, but Iluna, who was a little annoyed, refused to agree:

"You can't leave!"

Holding a dark golden scale in his hand, the scale, which symbolized the power of the ancient god, radiated light and directly dispersed the shadow behind the businessman. At the same time, Shade stretched out his hand, and silver thorn bushes emerged from the soil under the alley, and in an instant they densely blocked the exit at the other end of the alley.

"Really, this kind of thing happened so early in the morning."

Iluna threw down a charm to prevent ordinary people passing by outside the alley from seeing what was happening in the alley:

"Tell us what you are. If you can't explain clearly, the two of us wouldn't mind having a fight with you."

"Oh, I'm just a businessman, you don't need this."

The businessman with a bandage on his face said, as if he was afraid of the scale in Iluna's hand, he took a step towards the wall:

"I am rarely discovered by church forces. Currently, only the Serkses Medical School has recorded my affairs at the beginning of this era. I remember it is a secret-keeper-level relic."

For humanoid relics, the lowest danger level is the Keeper level.

"Are you spreading diseases and curses, or are you selling pills?"

Iluna asked again, Shade stood aside and said nothing, but was ready to take action at any time.

"What a strange question. How can you sell pills if you don't spread disease?"

The businessman felt strange about this and explained his business model:

"Mortals are always full of hatred and hatred, so someone came to me and asked me to give the disease to his or her enemy. And the disease, regardless of whether it was contagious before, or whether it is highly contagious under normal circumstances , once sold by me, they will become extremely contagious. In this way, someone will come to me to cure the disease, but I will only cure one person. Other infected people will come after hearing about my skills. Come to me for treatment. So, I can earn more than double the reward.”

He said and nodded:

"So the Sussex School of Medicine calls me the 'Plague Merchant' and believes that as long as I appear, a large-scale epidemic will definitely break out. This is not accurate. I only occasionally cause large-scale plagues."

Then he was speechless. A spear with golden thunder appeared in Iluna's hand, and a crackling sun gun made Shade feel that the surrounding temperature was rising:

"Leave this city and don't show up again for ten years!"

Humanoid relics are extremely difficult to contain and are usually sealed or exiled. Although they had just threatened the other party to fight, this was the Song Square in Beicheng District, the royal capital, which had a lot of people after all. Shade and Iluna definitely couldn't fight each other. In addition, once the opponent releases the plague indiscriminately during the fight, it will be difficult to end the matter.

That's why Iluna made such a request.

"Of course there is no problem. Heir to the Ancient God, since you have caught me, and your companion still has that damn ring, then you have the final say."

The businessman said, Iluna didn't give up:

"It's illegal for us to let you go. You should give us some compensation."

In fact, this is not illegal, it is a special treatment under special circumstances.

"What do you want?"

the businessman asked after a moment's hesitation.

"If this ring is used by non-human creatures, the side effect will be shortened lifespan. Is there a way to overcome it?"

Shade shook the [Epidemic Doctor Ring] again.

"This is a relic characteristic, not a disease or curse."

The businessman immediately shook his head.

"So do you know how to heal the earth?"

"You're not talking about that thing in the south of the Old World, are you? Oh, sir, do you think too highly of me?"

The businessman was startled.

"So do you have a pill similar to the relic [Universal Elixir]? It can cure all diseases and curses."

Iluna also asked, and the businessman shook his head again:

"You two probably have some misunderstanding about me. If I am really so powerful, why would I be blocked in this alley by you? Although I am a humanoid relic, I am better like this. The inheritor of the ancient gods, I will treat you. If you want to save others, please do it yourself."

Then he opened his suitcase again and threw a glass Erlenmeyer bottle containing white pills to Iluna. Iluna took out the pill and sniffed it suspiciously, then ate it after Shade checked to make sure it was safe.

"Thumbacary - Sunlight Healing. When my hands touch the naturally occurring sunlight, I can spread this light to objects, including myself, that are suffering from diseases or curses, thus curing them. The effect on ordinary injuries is not strong. This is very similar to the church’s magic [Sunlight Healing Technique]. Although the church’s magic can only heal oneself, the effect is stronger than this, and it can also cure diseases, curses and ordinary injuries.”

Iluna said, but Shade knew that she was satisfied with the harvest.

Shade then looked at the businessman, who nodded:

"I feel the glow of the moon in you. The moon has many healing powers, and you still have that ring. So, I'll give this to you."

He also threw a glass conical vial to Shade, but the bottle was not a pill, but a black stone with golden carvings on the surface. The carvings were the very ancient rune "Earth". Shad felt extremely Strong miracle factor.

"This is not my thing, I picked it up. Although I can't heal the earth, I have thought about how to deal with the problem. This is a treasure I found in an ancient earth shrine in the last era.' The earth Runestones' can enhance the holder's power related to the earth, and are immune to some effects of the earth's curse. Don't be too greedy, I know this is probably not suitable for you, but I can only take out this."
