After noticing Jazz's right hand behind his back and gesturing for the agreed movements, Shade, who was walking behind the two, suddenly coughed and said to Mr. Booker:
"Mr. Booker, what do you see here?"
His left hand touched the "mind crystallization ring" on his hand, and when Mr. Booker turned his head, he looked directly at Mr. Booker's eyes. Under the strong mental shock, this fat and half-bald man passed out directly, but after falling to the ground, his whole body twitched, and then he closed his eyes, and stood in a strange posture as if he was being manipulated by a silk thread. up.
"He has indeed been controlled by the "Book of Fools."
Sir Priscia said, then nodded to Shad:
"Mr. Hamilton, according to the plan, I'll stop him and you go find the book."
Because Xia De said in advance that he has a special ability to find objects, so Xia De will conduct the search.
"No problem, but don't you need my help here?"
Xia De asked, and at this time the five-ring life ring behind Sir Priscia had already appeared.
While the core spirit rune [Finger] showed aura, a very disgusting giant seven-fingered palm appeared in the void, with skin like blisters.
This seems to be the ability of undead summoning, and when combined with the core spirit rune, its power becomes even greater.
"Detective, you can help me the most by finding that book as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Sir Priscia had already met Mr. Booker who was twitching all over his body and his body was being turned over layer by layer like a page.
Xia De nodded, and left the basement along the stairs. He had just confirmed that the book was not in the basement.
Seeing that Xia De had already left, the middle-aged noble from the southern kingdom took out a small pocket book and threw it to the ring behind him.
"Obviously, relic-level books are very resistant to my [Library Search]."
Back on the first floor of the library, Shad tried to cast a spell, but nothing happened. It's not that nothing happened without results, but a very obvious resistance was felt, which meant that the relic was indeed here.
"Can you find the source of the resistance?"
Xia De asked in his heart.
[Only with you as the center of the circle, you can perceive the approximate range of the resistance. 】
So Xia De walked a few more places in the library, casting spells continuously to try to call the book. And "she" recorded the range of possible sources of resistance, and finally determined the overlapping range in the southwest corner of the library, which was the reception room where Mr. Booker received them just now.
And once the approximate location is determined, there is no need to use [Library Search] to search for the relic. Xia De reached out and touched every object that might hide the relic, and felt the traces of the "whispering" element at close range.
Judging from Mr. Booker's current state, the relic is close to being half out of control. In the relic of this state, the whisper element will be more obvious.
So just as Xia De thought, it didn't take him much effort to detect traces of elements near the chair Mr. Booker was sitting on just now. After careful inspection, he cut open the soft lining of the chair back and took out the book sewn inside.
"found it!"
The cover of the book is tan, and it looks like a new book that just came out last week, without any stains or folds. The title of the book written on the cover is "Book of Fools", and below it is a complex rhombus geometric symbol. Xia De heard Luvia introduce this symbol, which represents the "gnostic school" in the divination school, that is to say, without the help of divination props, directly rely on his own inspiration to capture the vague fate.
In Luvia's view, the [Spiritual Order] that Sister Devlin belongs to is likely to be the "School of Gnosis". Although the nun didn't show any divination ability, when Luvia talked with the nun in detail last time, she learned a lot of things that Xia De didn't know.
[Do you want to open it? Try it out, are you a fool who can only see the page. 】
"She" suggested with a smile, Xia De put the book on the table, took out a bottle of holy water from his pocket, and pressed the trembling book, as if something inside wanted to rush out:
"This is what Sir Priscia asked for. I won't open it casually without permission. Besides, if I ask him later, he won't mind if I open it."
"She" smiled, and Xia De took out the containment items that Sir gave him in advance. First of all, a red silk thread bound the book in a cross shape, and then wrapped the book with the skin of the triangular antelope.
After feeling the trembling of the book and the obvious weakening of the whispering elements, Xia De pressed his hand on the piece of sheepskin:
"The prophets are all liars, and the fortune-tellers are all nonsense."
he said softly, and the book fell completely still.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Xia De did not take the book out of the sheepskin, but took it to the basement. At this time, the battle in the basement was over, and Sir Priscia was using thaumaturgy to modify Mr. Booker's memory.
Shade also stepped forward to help. When Sir saw Shade pouring holy water into Mr. Booker's mouth, he smiled and sighed, the detectives living in Saint Teresa Square are indeed rich enough.
Mr. Booker's luck is not bad. Just like Professor Manning back then, the influence of the relic on him is not irreversible. Although he will suffer from migraines and neurasthenia for a long time after this incident, at least he still has the ability to recover. normal possibility.
But unlike Professor Manning's, Mr. Booker's memory of the event was completely wiped. Since Sir Priscia will leave Tobesk with the visiting group the day after tomorrow, Shad will visit him frequently in the next period of time to confirm his recovery symptoms.
As for the "Book of Fools", it was naturally taken away by the two of them as a reward for saving him. And this short one-and-a-half-hour operation is enough to be called a standard relic containment operation.
On the return carriage, Shad was still sighing, while Sir Priscia checked the book, and after opening it, he showed a thoughtful expression. But after flipping through a few more pages, he showed a disappointed expression again.
"Why, this book is useless to you?"
Xia De asked curiously, Jazz shook his head:
"It works, but not as useful as I thought."
He hesitated for a moment, and handed the book to Xia De:
"This is yours, detective, as a reward for helping me store the relic this time."
"Um?"
Xia De took the book hesitantly:
"Are you sure? I'll help you store the relic, but the reward is the relic itself?"
"I have seen the content of this book, and I have found what I was looking for. It is useless to keep this book in my hands, and I will go on a long journey next, so it is not suitable for me to bring this kind of unfamiliar Relic."
The middle-aged gentleman in the southern country said helplessly:
"Besides, knowledge itself needs to be passed on. Do I want to learn from the collector just now and lock knowledge firmly in the basement?"
Seeing what he said, Xia De accepted the book, but he insisted on giving Sir Priscia another sum of money as if he had bought "Book of Fools", thinking in his heart that he could buy this book Give it to Luvia as a year-end gift.
"Give it to Dorothy the Devil's left [Ethline's Pen], give it to Luvia's Book of Fools, give it to Iluna's 'Fire of the Sun', give it to Rezia.... ..”
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Xia De followed Sir Priscia's example, and opened the book to check the contents.
Of course, what was displayed in front of him was not a blank sheet of paper, but a short piece of information about the relic:
[Sage-level relic [Source of Chaos], also known as [Yellow Moon's Orb], is a round bead with round and flawless appearance and self-luminous characteristics. The way of containment is to hide in a dark place, and the time of being exposed to direct sunlight in a day should not exceed three hours, otherwise the probability of a solar eclipse and associated disasters in this area will greatly increase.
Remarks: The accompanying disasters of a solar eclipse usually have immeasurable consequences.
Positive trait 1: Moon
This item can be regarded as a yellow moon in any scene. Throw it overhead to make it levitate to follow. The radiance of this item can only be directly suppressed in very few ways, and it cannot be extinguished under any other circumstances.
Remarks: The original moon was a silver moon, but the yellow moon inherited the meaning of the moon itself.
Positive Feature 2: Guidance
With this item, when you are in complex scenes such as mazes, virgin forests, and large cities, the item will give you guidance in the correct direction.
Remarks: It can only guide the direction to find a way out, and cannot be used to find targets that you don't even know.
Positive Trait 3: Chaos
If this item is inlaid into the right eye, it will gain the characteristics of magic eyes, and it will gain at least five material-free and consumption-free spellcasting abilities such as [Confusion], and greatly enhance any ability that directly causes intelligent creatures to fall into madness and lose their minds. Embedded into the left eye is invalid.
Remarks: According to occultism, the left eye is related to the sun.
Positive feature 4: Moon Sanctuary
The item is placed in a closed or semi-closed place for a long time, and the place acquires the characteristics of the Moon Sanctuary. Using the moon rituals or learning related knowledge in this scene will increase the efficiency and success rate.
Note: Using relics like this is very wasteful due to the need for long periods of uninterrupted placement.
Negative Trait 1: Confusion
When the item is exposed to the light of the real yellow moon for a long time, the light of the item will have an effect similar to the "group chaos halo"~www.mtlnovel.com~ Remarks: This effect ignores most resistances, and it is very likely to cause group behavior ACCIDENT. When the time of continuous direct moonlight exceeds three years, ten months and three days, any mortal object will not be able to approach the object.
Negative Trait 2: Nightmare
Carrying this item for a long time increases the probability of entering a nightmare. It is impossible to describe the specific content of the nightmare, and it is suspected to be related to the split of the original moon and the departure of the ancient **** 【#￥@%】. Nightmares increase the chances of a supernatural being out of control. If you encounter a nightmare, you need to refrain from touching the item again within the three-month cycle.
Note: This relic is most likely from (unreadable).
Message: For astrologers and moon worshipers, this is an immeasurable treasure. 】
